Chapter 551 - 345: Going Separate Ways (Five-in-One)_3
"Yes, I have a feeling it’s definitely the same as last time. The Legion Commander is teasing us again!"
...
People were discussing animatedly.
At that time, the girl with purple hair continued to speak.
"I know you’re not willing to accept the decision to retreat, but it’s something we can’t help. This time the Dark Star Empire has amassed a huge number of troops to hunt and besiege us. Our forces are limited and simply can’t handle such a large scale of enemy troops. Besides, all the planets of the Dark Star Empire have entered a state of combat readiness. Even if we attack forcefully, the outcome won’t be good! If we don’t retreat and choose to confront them head on, we would end up in complete defeat."
"Of course, don’t be disheartened. You’ve already done very well. You broke through the Empire’s defenses, created miracles, and exerted your utmost efforts to save your comrades. You are already heroes of the Federation. Sometimes retreat is not a disgrace but a preparation for achieving greater glory in the future."
After hearing this, the crowd started discussing animatedly.
"I think what the Legion Commander said makes sense. We’ve definitely tried our best, it seems further fighting won’t yield any good results."
"That’s right, we’re down to just 12 from 26 squadrons."
