Chapter 538 - 238 Ghost Strike
"Welcome Captain Griss to the official live broadcast room. We will conduct a post-battle interview with Captain Griss. Captain Griss, please greet everyone!"
Having just returned to base, Griss shook his hand with a troubled frown.
The host immediately took over the camera, "First, let us observe a moment of silence for the warriors of the Empire who sacrificed themselves in this battle... Captain Griss, we want to know, how do you view this war against the Insect Race, and has the casualty rate exceeded your pre-war estimates?"
"Yes," Griss sighed, "At this moment, I’m not in the mood to answer too many questions, I’m only here to clear up public doubts because my superiors required it."
"Yes, Captain Griss, I can understand how you feel."
Griss rubbed his brow, his expression still showing an unshakable fatigue.
"The casualties were mainly concentrated in the space battle. The firepower of the Fourth Rank Insect Swarm was fierce, and they had also arranged ambushes, erupting in sudden attacks on airborne units at critical moments, leading to the destruction of some small and medium-sized warships with weaker defenses... That was the main source of our losses.
"On the ground, learning from the experience of Zubin Star, we upgraded our firepower several scales when building our positions.
"When the Spearhead Team broke through later, they also encountered considerable resistance. Although we managed to open the underground passages, the relentless waves of insects launching surprise attacks from all sides made our advance very difficult."
