Chapter 554, Who Can Save?

Wang Mengsong, lying in the medical room, stared at the ceiling, letting the pharmacist work on his broken arm without saying a word.

"Captain, the examination is over." The pharmacist stood up and said, "Although your arm has been reconnected, the injury still has some impact. It is estimated that the flexibility will decrease by 8% and the strength will decrease by 6%."

Wang Mengsong was silent.

His left arm was broken and reconnected. Even with advanced technology and the powerful physical recovery ability of Space Marines, it is still not as good as the original configuration at the beginning.

But what can be done?

Use it first.

If it really doesn't work, at worst, learn from some war groups and completely convert your left arm into a mechanical prosthesis. Related surgeries are also more mature.

He is not really that concerned about the condition of his left hand.

At this moment, he is still thinking about the battle five days ago.

Although five days had passed, the scene of Blood Shark hacking at his battle brothers, leaving behind blood and body parts, remained in his mind.

What impressed him even more was the scene when the Torchlight was blown into a pile of space junk in space.

He witnessed the scene on the small spacecraft that evacuated the battle barge.

His heart was broken.

After the engine center was blown up, Wang Mengsong was fully aware of the fact that although the ship did not disintegrate immediately, it was impossible to survive in the battle environment.

He had to make a painful decision: abandon the ship and evacuate.

The destruction of the Torchlight was a foregone conclusion, and the people on the ship should try not to be buried with it.

Ordinary crew members, that's fine. The entire ship was originally stationed with 400 New World Torch Space Marines, which was equivalent to one-third of the entire regiment.

If you can evacuate, you should try to evacuate.

Time was very tight, and the number of ships that could be used to evacuate personnel was also very tight. More importantly, the battle barge was a giant ship with multiple layers, dozens of kilometers long and wide, like a complex honeycomb. Previously, the warriors of the New World Torch were still fighting desperately with the blood sharks, and now they immediately said they wanted to evacuate, which was not so easy.

But those blood sharks didn't seem to have the intention to continue to entangle.

Their mission had been completed, and they also had to evacuate.

After both sides had no intention of fighting bloody, although it was not ruled out that some people were still fighting to the death, the large-scale substantive battle had ended.

The arrival of the blood sharks was carried out with a special teleportation technology that was considered lost to the empire, and so was their evacuation.

And the New World Torch could only leave by boat.

In the end, only 188 of the 400 New World Torch warriors evacuated their flagship.

Less than half of the total number.

Of the remaining half, most died in the confrontation with the blood sharks, and a few were delayed in the battle and could not catch up with the evacuation ship. They could only die with hundreds of thousands of crew members and auxiliary troops along with this huge battle barge.

Taking the escaping spaceship, Wang Mengsong authenticated his identity and landed on the Triumphant Fire with the survivors, and met Adler Paulitos.

The commander of the Wrath of Flame had no time to say anything to him.

With the loss of the Torchlight, the battle situation had reached an extremely bad situation. Paulitos was busy issuing orders one by one, reading the reports and documents sent up one by one, and making replies and instructions.

The fleet retreated all the way and completed the reunion with the warship "Spark Wings" that had jumped over, temporarily forcing back the siege of the blood sharks, and then started the jump and evacuated.

At this moment, the Wrath of Flame fleet had just left the jump state and entered the real universe not long ago.

After Wang Mengsong entered the Triumphal Fire, he only had a quick meeting with Paulitus. He didn't even have time to communicate with him. He lay in the medical room and the pharmacist of the regiment treated his broken arm until today.

He has been thinking about that battle until today.

It was not just a battle, but also a confusion about the fate of the regiment.

Since the relocation to the Spider Web Universe, the regiment has been thriving. It was originally poor, but after a hundred years of development, according to the provisions of the Space Marine Code, the strength of the New World Torch is quite standard. There are full-strength warriors, even slightly exceeding 200 people. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. Generally, the regiment has more than 200 reserve teams to make up for the losses of the regular establishment at any time. Isn't that normal?

The various vehicles needed by the regiment are also fully equipped, the fleet is also fully built, and the Torchlight, a serious battle barge, was completed 20 years ago.

Their regiment, which has a relatively short history, is also on the right track.

After the army is strong, it is natural to strive for a longer-term goal.

After careful consideration, he chose between the Empire and Iron Armor and stood on the side of Iron Armor.

He has not regretted it to this day.

However, the regiment has suffered heavy losses, and he does not know what the future will be like.

While thinking, a Torch Warrior walked in with a communicator in his hand.

"It's Captain Paulitus."

Wang Mengsong nodded slightly, took the communicator and put it to his ear.

"It's me, Wang Mengsong."

"Captain Wang Zhan, from now on, the New World Torch will obey my command more clearly. All levels of troops and personnel will directly obey my instructions. Do you have any opinions on this?"

Adler Paulitos did not exchange pleasantries, but spoke directly and without any compromise.

Wang Mengsong was silent for a moment, but still responded: "Okay, I have no objection."

This was expected, and he could not stop it.

The other side was originally the general manager of the southern front. Now the New World Torch has encountered a disaster again, and the team lives on the other side's flagship. What else can they say?

Moreover, from the overall situation, now is not the time to fight each other. Under great pressure, unity is inevitable.

As for whether Paulitos will use the New World Torch as cannon fodder in the future... it should not be the case. If that happens, he is not powerless to resist.

His arm as the commander of the war group was only broken and reconnected, but he is not dead.

However, Paulitos on the opposite side seemed to be a little surprised that he was so straightforward, so he did not speak at the first time.

After a while, Paulitos said, "That's it, you take a rest first."

"Wait a minute." Wang Mengsong said, "What should we do next? The blood shark will chase us and won't give up."

Paulitos thought about it and explained his plan to Wang Mengsong.

...

Gu Hang put down the latest battle report in his hand and said with a smile:

"Come for us?"

"Obviously not. They are hoping that the Alfonzo sect can save their lives."
