Mineral resources were worthless to the pirates. Such stolen goods were too heavy and not easy to sell. Unfortunately, as the mineral trade was very lucrative, there was another batch of Ice Spear City's resources. This batch of resources was very valuable.
Of course, to the Cronode Family, this wasn't much. But since they were bandits, they had to snatch some things.
The latest plan was to let the army send a small portion to attack the Ice Spear City. After which Cronode would lead the warriors to defeat the pirates and protect the safety of the citizens of the Ice Spear City. As for the mining base being robbed, that couldn't be helped. After all, people were the most important. And Shien and Redington's outstanding performance would naturally be remembered. Not only would the Elite Academy want to reward them, the Hail Cloud Alliance would also want to reward them. Unfortunately, Shien and Redington were from the Hail Cloud Alliance. Wouldn't they become the idols of the new generation?
Plans couldn't keep up with changes. Changes were always better than plans.
Shien also didn't expect things to develop to such a state. As for Snow Lee's matter, it was even simpler. Snow Lee would bring some people to guard a place and let them capture Snow Lee alive. There would always be some casualties in a firefight.
Everything was in the control of Shien and Redington. The ordinary soldiers in the base didn't have much of a rebuttal. On one hand, it was because of the influence of the Cronode Family. On the other hand, it was because this group of students had too great a background. It wouldn't be a problem for them to fight one against ten. And the main person in charge was now missing. The ordinary soldiers wouldn't fuss about this. On the contrary, they hoped that because Cronode was in Aisbotan, the rescue would come quickly.
After all, he was the young master and nothing could happen to him. Otherwise, when the rescue arrived, they might have already turned into ashes. Snow Lee, Ai Xiaolu and the rest came to the mecha warehouse. The other students were all there. This warehouse stored the Hail Cloud Alliance's signature regular mech, Ice Wolf Fifth Gen. The beast type mech was rather suitable for fighting in the snow.
Not long ago, they received news that Tank City had been robbed. The exact situation was unknown. Now the Ice Spear City had become an isolated city. Their communication with the outside world had been cut off. From the news from Tank City, the scale of the other party was a mech column. This also meant that there were at least a thousand mech warriors. They had strict discipline and formation. They definitely weren't stragglers and were very much like a regular army.
Everyone was also shocked by this news. If it was just one or two hundred people, the Elite Academy would definitely be able to take them down easily. However, if there was a column with heavy weapons, things wouldn't be easy.
"Are we going to defend the Ice Spear City?" Cai Yingmeng said weakly. Not all the students of Elite Academy X were unafraid of death, especially when there was a huge disparity in strength. It was clear that regardless of whether it was the Interstellar Pirates or whatever, they were not coming for them. There was no need to fight them head-on.
Everyone looked at Shien Cronode. Shien was also a little surprised. This group of people did not act according to the plan. This also gave him a headache. If he knew that this group of fugitives would not abide by the rules, he would have to be more careful. If he were to fall, it would be a huge loss. No matter how much wealth and status he had, it was not as important as his life.
"We should defend the base and not the Ice Spear City. The area of the Ice Spear City is too huge and there aren't any fortifications. We don't have many people. Including the remaining soldiers, we only have over 100 people. We don't have any chances of winning if we were to fight against the other party. Moreover, the other party has heavy weapons!"
Shi En's intentions were very clear. He wanted to give up the Ice Spear City and defend the base. After all, it was a military base and had energy shields. Moreover, there was no city to drag them down. If it really couldn't work, they could still retreat.
"Shien, you seem to have forgotten that we are the students of Elite Academy X. We are the reserves and also soldiers. Have you ever heard of soldiers abandoning the citizens to escape for their own lives?" Ai Xiaolu said coldly. "Although the number of the enemy is greater, we are elite warriors. If we are even afraid of a motley crew, what are we?"
After hearing what Ai Xiaolu said, everyone's fighting spirit was ignited. Although the other party was greater in number, they were Elite Xs. What was there to be afraid of?
"Student Xiaolu, I can understand your thoughts and the responsibility that we have. It's just that we have already understood from Tank City that the other party is a complete column of Interstellar Pirates. They took less than 10 minutes to break through the defence of Tank City. This meant that they have heavy firepower. If we were to face them head on, we would only die. As a member of Elite Academy X, we can't make unnecessary sacrifices and we can't be reckless." Redington said.
If they had heavy weapons, it was very likely that they wouldn't have a place to use their skills. The most crucial thing was that there wasn't anyone here who could keep his word. Now that even the more prestigious people were in conflict, the rest of them didn't know what to do.
"I have an idea. If the enemy is Interstellar Pirates, their goal should be to loot. Therefore they would definitely attack Ice Spear City very quickly. I think that the Hail Cloud Alliance should have already discovered the situation of Aisbotan's signal being disrupted. They would definitely react. Therefore there isn't much time left for the pirates. We can launch a pincer attack together with Ice Spear City!" Snow Li said. "Ice Spear City can attract the attention of the heavy weapons from the front. Then we will attack from the back and the sides and attack their formation."
Ai Xiaolu who was at the side immediately clapped and cheered. "With our control and mobility, if we can't even hold back a group of pirates, then we aren't fit to be students of Elite Academy X. I am from Hail Cloud Alliance and will definitely live and die together with Aisbotan. I won't give in to the bandits!" “
Ai Xiaolu said firmly. Many of those present were from Hail Cloud Alliance or had a certain relationship with them. This caused quite a lot of resonance. If the other party had the absolute advantage, then self-preservation was understandable. However, the number of the other party wasn't overwhelming.
If they were to retreat at this moment, they might have to retreat for the rest of their lives.
Shi En frowned. He didn't expect Ai Xiaolu to be so provocative. Just as he was about to speak, the other students had already shouted.
"What are we afraid of just pirates!"
"That's right. If we are even afraid of such a motley crew, how can we still be considered as students of Elite Academy!"
"Let's follow Student Snow's train of thought. We don't have many people. Why don't we split into 4 small teams and act according to the situation. Our main focus is to harass and exhaust them. Anyway, we have the vast Ice Sea Snowfield. I don't believe that their mobility can be compared to us."
"Yes, this is the real practice. Soldiers are trained for a thousand days to be used in a single moment!"
In an instant, the decisive battle had suppressed the avoidance. The plan was also very convenient. The remaining soldiers of the base would be in charge of protecting Ice Spear City. The students of Elite Academy X would split into 4 teams and leave the city to engage in guerilla warfare with the enemy.
As long as it wasn't a direct confrontation, it would be hard to say who would be the prey under the circumstances of small skirmishes.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Shi En and Redington couldn't say anything else. If they were to say more, it would seem that they had a problem. The dignified people of the Cronode Family, the representative of the Xuan Class 1, were actually afraid of pirates. If this was spread out, they wouldn't be able to show their faces anymore.
Snow Li, Ai Xiaolu, Redington and Shien Cronode each led 9 people. The Ice Wolf mech was no stranger to any ice attribute Ability user.
Snow Li had already entered the mech. The G material was connected and her vision was opened. She took a deep breath. At this moment, she couldn't think about Wang Zheng anymore. She could only hope that Wang Zheng was safe and sound. What she had to face now was war. There was one thing that Ai Xiaolu had said that was right. As people of Hail Cloud, they had to protect their home and country!
Rescue?
Shien Cronode had a headache. This was because under normal circumstances, the Hail Cloud Space Fleet would at most take 5 to 6 hours to realize that something was wrong. However, the problem was that this plan had already been deployed by the Cronode Family for a long time. It could at least last for a few days. Now that it was a little out of control, he didn't want to die in his own plan.
The other party was indeed pirates. However … they weren't ordinary pirates. They were the DK Pirate Crew. This was an existence that could even rob the Arbiter Trade Convoys. It was indeed a column of people. However, their battle power was even more ferocious than a regular army.
Shien Cronode didn't care about the others. However, he didn't intend to send himself to his death. Once they were in a crossfire, they would only recognize guns and not people.
Shien was also feeling a little suffocated. He had originally thought that he had already reached an agreement with DK and the other party would abide by the rules. However, from the looks of it now, the other party was still a pirate deep down in their bones.
He was a little naive. Originally, Tank City wasn't within the target of plundering. The Cronode Family didn't want to mess up Aisbotan completely. They would also suffer huge losses in it. However, the pirates didn't seem to care about these.
Most likely the DK Pirate Crew also knew about this point. The Cronode Family was also afraid to take action against the DK Pirate Crew. They might even try their best to protect the DK Pirate Crew and help them to prevent the regular army from discovering them. If not, if the Pirate Crew was captured, the Cronode Family wouldn't have a good ending either.
Shien calmly analyzed the situation. He made a judgment. No matter what the DK Pirate Crew was doing, he only needed to wait and see.
