In the wasteland of Sil, the Rangers and the Independent Company struggled to advance towards the target location amidst the harassment of Tal'darin. As the distance from the extraction point became closer and closer, the harassment they encountered became more frequent. For

For them, this naturally means that the evacuation point is indeed their only hope to rendezvous with the main force.

But things don't always go as smoothly as expected. Platoon A of the independent company, which was responsible for road reconnaissance in front, discovered a human force being pursued by Taldarin during the advance. Platoon A, after applying for approval, rescued it with the support of Platoon B.

captured this human unit and brought them back to the company headquarters.

Platoon B was responsible for the rear and protecting the company headquarters, so Lal could work with Douglas to inquire about the origins of these fleeing human troops.

It can be seen that these guys are the same as them, they are all A1 Marines, and the style and icon of the power armor are the same. These guys also recognize the battlecruiser they belong to at a glance, so they are all friendly forces. But they

I don’t remember these guys in the independent company, and apart from the independent company, there should be no one else from the Marines on the A1 ship landing.

Of course, there is another possibility, but that can only be the worst case scenario...

"We belong to Platoon B of the 7th Infantry Company... we arrived on the surface during the last landing operation." The leading Marine replied, but his tone seemed to be very bad, "... It seems that you have landed before.

The second batch of landing troops, right?”

"Yes, we are the 17th Independent Company, and I am the company commander Douglas. I am glad to see that you are still alive..."

"Don't be too happy too early. I'm here to remind you. Don't go to the coordinates on the radio. Turn around and leave immediately. You still have a way to survive." The Marine's tone became stern, "Company Commander, this is

Our advice. That coordinate is a death trap. Tal'darin has set up a heavy guard there. Now turn around and leave and you still have a chance to escape. Otherwise, everything will be over!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little confused. Lar's brows frowned tightly, but this was not the place for him to speak. Douglas fell silent, his expression hidden by the reflective mask.

You know, there's no way of knowing what he's thinking.

There was no way to remain silent like this. Jin next to him opened his mouth to take over the conversation: "...how can we believe your words? The coordinates in the broadcast are our only hope to meet the main force. If we don't go there, we will starve to death.

In the wilds of Schir?”

"I don't have anything to make you believe me, because once you see the evidence, it's impossible to get out of there alive. You don't have to believe me, and I don't think Tal'darin's troops can annihilate an entire company of your troops.

, but I don’t think you can escape in an organized manner. At that time, there will only be one more person beside me who will say the same thing to the next army that does not believe in evil, and then do the same thing... As for where to go, if you

There is really no place to go, so come with us. We have survived in this wilderness of Sil for nearly a month. It is not impossible for you to survive until the fleet sends reinforcements..."

Before he finished speaking, the technical sergeant next to him received the communication from the rangers and forwarded it to Douglas.

"Douglas, we encountered a group of human friendly forces that escaped from the target location, and we are exchanging fire with the protoss forces pursuing them. I suggest that we temporarily stop our advance, send a reconnaissance team to advance for reconnaissance, and make plans after receiving intelligence."

The urgent voice of the company commander on the other side came from the communicator.

Douglas did not hesitate when he heard this. He simply replied "Okay" and immediately hung up the communication. Then he looked at the Marine: "We have received your advice. But I can't believe your words." Then he said.

, he directly connected to the communicator of Platoon A.

Platoon A was immediately asked to stop advancing, turn around and rendezvous with the main force of the company, and at the same time send a reconnaissance unit to the target location for combat reconnaissance. Platoon B and the company headquarters also stopped advancing, waiting for the Rangers and Platoon A to come and join them.

But the Marine seemed to be very dissatisfied. After hearing Douglas's arrangement, he immediately said not to stay, and all the troops followed them to evacuate the area at full speed. If the rangers they mentioned encountered a friendly force being pursued by Tal'darin

Deserters, then it means that Tal'darin is likely to have noticed that their trap has been exposed. In this case, Tal'darin, who has superior equipment and firepower, is very likely to directly attack them to contain them.

Therefore, they must follow them and evacuate the area as quickly as possible.

This request was immediately rejected by Douglas. This was obviously to abandon the Rangers and the troops of Platoon A. With the limited radio range, once they followed this team and left, they would most likely be in contact with the Rangers.

Losing contact with Platoon A permanently. In the current situation, losing contact with friendly forces is one of the worst situations. Douglas naturally cannot agree.

The Marine seemed very angry, but he also had no choice but to stay silent and wait with them for friendly forces to rendezvous.

As the company stopped advancing, they temporarily built a simple defense area based on a small hill. Lal sent a squad to conduct combat patrols to meet approaching friendly forces and provide advance warning of possible Tal'darin attacks. And within an hour

Later, they received the first bad news - Platoon A was surrounded by a Tal'darin force.

The sound of the firefight coming from the radio was very intense, but the company could not spare any manpower to help, so it could only pray silently that Platoon A could break through smoothly. After more than half an hour of silence, the deputy platoon of A Platoon came over the communicator.

Long news, Platoon A has repelled Tal'darin's pursuit, but suffered heavy losses. The platoon leader was beheaded by a Tal'darin fanatic, and the machine gun squad originally assigned to them was wiped out by the intruding stalkers before they had time to deploy.

, other infantry squads also suffered injuries. The number of casualties has not yet been calculated, but it seems that there will be many.

The company headquarters could only ask Platoon A to abandon the seriously wounded and quickly return to rendezvous with the company. As for the reconnaissance team, they had been out of contact for 40 minutes. Platoon A initially determined that they had been attacked by Taldarin and were wiped out, so they had no choice but to give up.

They evacuated as quickly as possible.

When Platoon A was on the road to rendezvous with the company in a hurry, the Rangers also received quite bad news: they suffered serious losses in the exchange of fire with the Tal'darin pursuit force, and an Immortal among them was killed.

They caused quite heavy losses. Although they repelled Tal'darin, their losses were equally heavy. After simply cleaning up the battlefield, they began to move towards them at full speed.

After learning the news, Lal felt that God was really playing a joke on them that they couldn't afford. Whenever they thought they were saved, they would find that they were actually in an even more desperate situation than before.

in the situation.

(Gan, I suddenly realized that these chapters were too watery. I only discovered this problem when I posted them. Sorry, sorry, I will try to see why they are not watery. Mainly because I got so excited writing and writing that I forgot about this...
