If someone accidentally dies in battle, how am I supposed to explain it to Lu Li?
...
Southeast Star Realm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
On Hertz Star, Five-Star Admiral of the Purple Potato Titan Race, Seakma, is talking to Balabamo via interstellar phone.
With the lead of the Southwest Star Realm, frontline commander Seakma is under immense pressure.
But this isn’t the most despairing part.
The most despairing part is that not long ago, scouts sent back the latest battle report.
A force of over ten million warriors from the Eternal Motion Race had already breached the first line of defense in the Southeast Star Realm and were charging toward Hertz Star.
Based on the timeline, in about three Earth Days, the Eternal Motion Race legion numbered "God Slayer" would reach the vicinity.
Although Seakma had ten million Alliance Army troops and thirty million local Star Realm warriors under his command, totaling forty million warriors, he really had no confidence in resisting the advanced weapons of the Eternal Motion Race.
Therefore, Seakma desperately wished that the Galaxy Alliance would send more advanced weapons or some reinforcements.
Something delightful happened to Seakma.
Balabamo’s first words over the interstellar phone were: "Land God has dispatched warriors for support, and they should arrive in about four Earth Days."
Although Earth civilization is quite backward, Seakma was still pleasantly surprised.
According to the recruitment orders issued by Lupar, he could at least have three million people to use.
Then at least by firing energy cannons, he could somewhat increase the combat power.
Seakma said happily: "Okay, I will make arrangements to welcome them."
Balabamo said: "Here’s the thing, Land God dispatched one thousand warriors..."
Upon hearing this, Seakma, stunned, incredulously asked: "One thousand warriors? You mean Land God only dispatched one thousand warriors?"
"Yes." Balabamo, ignoring how Seakma felt, continued on: "These one thousand warriors, you absolutely cannot let them die on the battlefield. Otherwise, I won’t know how to explain it to Land God. Once they arrive, you need to assign them some logistical work, and if you truly cannot hold off the invasion of the Eternal Motion Race, please remember to evacuate the Earth Warriors from the battlefield first. Do you remember what I said?"
Goddamn!
Not only are there no additional troops, but a bunch of big deals were sent over?
Seakma isn’t a fool, he could clearly understand the implication behind Balabamo’s words.
This made him utterly furious, to the point of having profane thoughts!
Of course, Seakma only dared to complain in his heart and didn’t actually dare to curse Balabamo.
He said bitterly, "With only one thousand warriors to support the war effort, I’m afraid I can’t hold Hertz Star."
Balabamo sighed: "We do want to dispatch more warriors to participate, but you know that Venerable Lupar has just issued a recruitment order, gathering soldiers takes time, and they need basic training. So you all need to hold for a while longer before we can send more warriors. Seakma, it’s tough on you."
Seakma looked gloomy, thinking that by the time recruitment is completed and training is done, he might already have died on the battlefield.
Military orders are like mountains; no matter how much dissatisfaction he has, he cannot disobey them.
After hanging up the interstellar phone, Seakma immediately gathered several senior generals at the command post to convey this message.
The Supreme Silver Gray Holy Priest of the Silver Wisdom Tree Race, Bu Qing, Black Stone Race’s Rock Legion’s chief captain, Kegemo, and other high-ranking generals were all stunned upon hearing Seakma’s news.
"Earth only dispatched one thousand warriors?"
"And we have to ensure none of them die?"
"Are these people here to fight or for a sightseeing tour?"
"Damn it, what is the Galaxy Alliance doing, sending these Earthlings to create trouble for us?"
"Can the Galaxy Alliance command Land God? Use your brain, this is obviously Land God supporting Venerable Lupar’s recruitment efforts by dispatching a thousand people; in reality, what if he didn’t send anyone? Are you going to question Land God?"
"Yeah, even a small mosquito is meat, at least it’s a thousand people. Although the Supreme Leader won’t let us send these Earthlings to the front line, they can handle logistics. Let’s not overthink it."
The group of commanders, helpless as they were, still accepted the orders.
The acceptance of these orders by the commanders was expected.
Who would have thought this news would leak somehow?
The news reached over ten million Alliance troops and thirty million soldiers of native civilizations.
Immediately, the warriors fighting desperately to protect the home of the Milky Way Galaxy were in an uproar.
"What?"
"Earth only dispatched a thousand to fight?"
"What does Earth civilization mean? Oh, we’re risking our lives on the front line, and they’re sitting back enjoying the fruits?"
"Damn, this is intolerable. Earth civilization is utterly excessive, where can a mere thousand be useful?"
"There’s an even more outrageous matter. I heard these thousand won’t be fighting on the frontline, and everyone still has to ensure their safety—is there any justice?"
"Son of a bitch, Earthlings are going too far!"
"We’re not going to do it! We might as well quit. Why are Earthlings so precious, while we are mere cannon fodder in this life-and-death battle with the Eternal Motion Race?"
"Yeah, let’s not do it!"
Many soldiers, extremely outraged, nearly mutinied.
Fortunately, Seakma, Bu Qing, and Kegemo, learning of this news immediately, stepped forward to pacify the situation with promised benefits, thereby calming things down.
