Chapter 790: Captives
After calming down the churning blood, Talikova snorted from her nostrils, and was about to bow and chase again. The wrist was suddenly held by Laura, the girl turned her head and showed two small fangs: "Let me go!"
Laura shook her head: "Stop chasing, Aliman is right, that man is very powerful. Even if we join forces, we may not be able to beat him. And..."
The sound of bombing and explosions came from the base, shaking off wisps of dust. Laura said: "Look, we have already fought with humans. Now there are no hostages in hand, I'm afraid we have to evacuate. Aliman needs to be taken care of, you and I go back!"
"Then let them go like this?" One hundred and twenty girls were not reconciled.
"There will always be a chance, let's go." After dragging Talikova's hand again, Laura was already running back first. She helped up those injured compatriots who fell to the ground, and yelled for them to retreat. Talikova's eyes dimmed and she had to give up.
45 minutes later, Allen returned to the ground. The means of breaking up that were originally prepared were left idle because the Hurma people did not catch up, and those time bombs were wasted. When returning to the surface from the underground waterway, Lieutenant Colonel Xiao had already sent someone to respond. Several armored personnel carriers and medical vehicles were already on standby, and the rescued hostages were taken away by soldiers in batches. After Lieutenant Colonel Xiao arranged for the three engineers, he came up and held Allen's hand and said, "Nice job, Mr. Allen. Thanks to you, we don't have to agree to those harsh demands of Chigui."
"Your task has been completed, and then you can rest well. As for the work of eliminating the red ghosts, leave it to us to handle." Lieutenant Colonel Xiao raised his head and looked forward.
Allen also turned around, and at this moment the Federation had launched an offensive. Soldiers, covering each other, are charging at the Hurma's line of defense. If the tribal fighters of the Hurma people only look at their personal qualities, they are better than the federal soldiers. But if the equipment is also counted, this gap is almost smoothed out. What's more, the Federation has a large number of people, and is good at tactics, and has chariots and flying ships. With no scruples about hostages, the Federation defeated the natives of these planets.
At this time, several momentums rushed from the direction of the base. These several auras have different backgrounds, some are flamboyant, some are calm and generous, some are domineering and violent, and each has its own characteristics. It was obvious that the opponent's strongman finally made a move, and the Federation was not to be outdone. A wave of aura rose to the sky, and some of the auras were concise and tyrannical. It should be a school official level figure.
Once the powerhouses of both sides enter the battlefield, it means that the war will soon be decided. Without thinking about it, Allen also knew that the Federation could not lose. Regardless of the number of people, equipment, or the number of strong men, the Federation has a firm grip on the Hurma people. These aborigines were only expelled, but judging from the momentum on the battlefield, the Federation has deployed a lot of masters and fierce men in Gaoshan City. With these people, why do they have to issue tasks to the hunting group?
After much deliberation, there is only one possibility. It was probably to win over the nobles, or more precisely, to give away a military merit for Alan to earn. In this, Allen is also not sure whether it was inspired by Capulo.
He has not forgotten that this legendary marshal has great intentions to recruit him.
The task was completed at this point, and Allen and others arranged to go to a closed hotel in the city. Most people occupy their rooms and sleep on their heads. Only Hubble had been lethargic for a while before, but now he was in good spirits, and caught Allen for a drink. Allen was not well, so he had to send someone to find Lieutenant Colonel Xiao, and finally brought back two bottles of spirits.
At least one and a half bottles entered Hubble's stomach, and Alan drank less than half of the bottle. Not knowing whether it was alcohol or drowsiness, Allen fell asleep on a chair in the hotel lobby. Hubble smacked his mouth, and spit out a strong breath of alcohol from his mouth: "It's boring."
The more he drank the wine, the more energetic he became, so energetic that he couldn't help but want to fight with someone on the battlefield. But in the end, he still picked up Allen, and after sending him back to the room, he just sat in the corridor outside the room with his bottle in his arms and took a nap. The next day Allen woke up, the rain last night had stopped early, and the raindrops were still hanging on the window, shining colorful halos under the sunlight. Allen opened the room and couldn't help laughing when he saw Hubble lying on his back. He woke up the big man and said, "Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?"
Hubble supported his head and sat up: "Aren't you drunk? I am afraid that you will be slaughtered, so I will guard here. Anyway, the bed in the room is too small, so it doesn't matter where you sleep."
"Who will kill me? At least not in Takasugi City. As for going out of the city, it's hard to say." Allen said indifferently, remembering the Golet's house that was hanging behind the convoy.
Hubble's eyes in the helmet lit up: "From what you mean, there are still fights?"
"If there is no accident, someone will probably come to trouble us when we go back."
"That's really great." Hubble jumped up, shaking the whole corridor: "When will they come?"
"I can't tell, but it will come anyway." Alan is confident about this. According to Toure's temperament, it is impossible to follow him so far without doing anything.
"Just come." Hubble shook his head and said, "Then let's go back quickly. However, your troubles are more than that."
The Catos meant something, and for the first time bought the key, and didn't tell Allen the reason. Allen shrugged without asking. After breakfast, he bid farewell to Lieutenant Colonel Xiao. Lieutenant Colonel Xiao slept through the night, but he was full of energy. Last night, it was considered to have slashed the Hurma people, and let out the cowardice of being threatened before. Two strong men from the other side died on the spot, more than 200 Hurma fighters were killed, and about 70 people were captured.
The remaining Hurma left the battlefield last night when the rain intensified, and Lieutenant Colonel Xiao had no intention of continuing to hunt them down. After leaving Gaoshan City, there is a virgin forest, where there are many forks and dangerous cliffs. The Hurma people are very familiar with the terrain, if they chase after them rashly, they will only take advantage of them.
The conflict between the two sides has come to an end.
After the captured Hurma people are brought back, there will be special personnel in the federal army to enlighten and domesticate them, even if those red ghosts are stubborn. The Federation could just as well feint, create smoke, and then let them go. However, it will be difficult for these Hurma people who have regained their freedom to regain the trust of their compatriots. This move by the Federation is tantamount to a trick of alienation, in order to divide the power of the indigenous people.
This strategy has been used for a long time, and many planet natives who choose to be friends with the Federation have experienced the same thing before. After internal conflicts emerged, the Federation took advantage of the void and supported some of the natives, making them eventually become their allies. Allen knew a lot about the Federation's procedures, and the tutors at Dawn Academy had said a lot about it. Although this approach is a bit insidious, it is better than fighting in battle, bloodshed and sacrifice.
After bidding farewell to Lieutenant Colonel Xiao, the convoy of the hunting group left Takasugi City. At the same time, the Federation will also escort them to the transport vehicles in batches. During this process, a pretty figure will always attract the attention of the soldiers. When Allen's flying car passed by, a pair of golden pupils stared firmly at the flying car with the Bethkind mark.
