Bab 259: Chapter 197: Duke Level? Kill if it is_3

The Commander paused slightly before continuing amid the silence, "In terms of negotiation, judging from the current momentum of the Empire's attack, they have not been truly hurt by us. Thus, now is not the best time for negotiations."

What the Commander truly couldn't tell more people was this sentence. Regarding this decision, none of those present had the actual authority to participate in making it, let alone the right to propose suggestions.

So, this was merely an announcement.

"We will be destroyed just like the Base Three, but it's worth it. It will give us an advantage in the ensuing war. If there is a negotiation, the initiative will be in our hands due to our sacrifice," said the Commander calmly, unsurprising the others with his mention of 'us' and 'sacrifice'. Even if they knew the outcome would be destruction, some must hold on to the very end.
