Xiao Ran's cold scolding rang in the ears of Shigeru Okita and Gu Gujin. The accusation of a group of trash stunned them for a moment, and then their expressions changed.
Shigeru Okita opened his mouth, but in the end, only a complicated expression appeared on his face. Perhaps in his heart, Xiao Ran was not wrong. To a certain extent, they could really be considered trash.
Gu Gujin, on the other hand, was younger, so he was more mature than most young people. However, when faced with Xiao Ran's scolding, a wave of anger rose in his heart. He angrily opened his mouth and said loudly, "What do you know? What right do you have to call us trash? You're not even from this world, and you haven't experienced what we've experienced. Countless people died fighting against Gamilas, what right do you have to say that to us?!"
Xiao Ran coldly glanced at Gu Gujin. "As a soldier, if you can't protect the civilians behind you, then you are trash. I don't need to know anything, and I don't need to have any qualifications. I also don't care how many soldiers have sacrificed in this war. A soldier's duty is to protect civilians. I only know that if it were me, even if I had to use my life, I would never let the so-called space-traveling bomb fall on Earth.
"In just a year, you were able to let others turn Earth into this state. If you are not trash, then what are you? Don't use undeclared war as an excuse. To put it simply, you are too weak. I'm afraid that when there is nothing to do, the internal Federation will use their energy to fight for power and profit. Anyway, as long as it is the Federation, it will probably be like this."
Gu Gujin gritted his teeth and said sullenly, "You … you don't know anything!"
"Chief Tactician Gu, that's enough." Shigeru Okita raised his right hand to stop Gu Gujin from continuing to speak. He only sighed and said to Xiao Ran, "Colonel Xiao Ran, perhaps you are right. The long period of stability has caused our world's Federation to let down our guard too much. However, the enemy does indeed have technological strength that far surpasses ours, and their war strength is also an indisputable fact."
"Countless Federation soldiers fought with their lives on the frontlines. We can only blame ourselves for being too weak. No matter how much we resisted, in the end, almost all of our space fleets were destroyed by Gamilas. We could only watch helplessly as Earth became like this. However, every single one of us on Earth used our lives to protect Earth, to protect our home. For this, they were willing to sacrifice anything. Therefore, none of them are trash, but heroes."
Shigeru Okita's tone towards the end was unusually firm. His firm tone made Xiao Ran's cold eyes relax a little. After less than a minute of silence, Xiao Ran said, "I'm sorry. I admit that those who sacrificed themselves to protect their home are all heroes, but seeing this and knowing this makes me feel a little resentful. Of course, this is not directed at those heroes who sacrificed themselves, but at those brainless people."
"It's understandable. After all, our home is Earth, and we belong to the Federation." Shigeru Okita let out a small sigh of relief. Although he had only interacted with Xiao Ran for a short period of time, Shigeru Okita used his rich experience in judging people to see some things about Xiao Ran.
First, although Xiao Ran only said that he was a colonel, his aura was a little too strong. The feeling of having the power of life and death in his hands could not fool Shigeru Okita. Moreover, his words were full of disdain and indifference towards the Federation. Therefore, Shigeru Okita felt that Xiao Ran could not be as simple as a commander of a special independent force. Ordinary colonels would not act like Xiao Ran.
Second, the indifference and anger that Xiao Ran showed after learning that Earth had been attacked. Shigeru Okita had already sensed from Xiao Ran's eyes that the indifference and anger could not be faked. From this, he could also see some of Xiao Ran's character.
Xiao Ran nodded and asked, "What's the current situation on Earth? What's the situation with Gamiras that you mentioned? Where is their base?"
Shigeru Okita said, "The situation on Earth is not good. We don't have much time left. If there is no way to restore Earth's original environment within a year, then the humans on Earth will be wiped out. As for Gamiras, we don't have much information. We only know that this force should be an overlord-level force that transcends galaxies. Just a while ago, we destroyed the outpost they built in the solar system."
"A year?" Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you are now at the edge of the solar system, you won't be like me, just wanting to go for a ride."
"That's right." Shigeru Okita said with a serious expression, "We will go to a place 160,000 light years away to find a way to save Earth."
"160,000 light years?" Xiao Ran raised his hand slightly to stop Shigeru Okita from speaking. His action was natural and casual, as if he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with interrupting the other party. He just turned his head to look at Mary.
Mary only needed one look to understand Xiao Ran's meaning. After taking out the communicator she carried with her, she sent a long message. Two to three minutes later, she received a reply from the Burning Legion.
After receiving the reply, Mary said, "This distance is only in the Large Magellan system. With the configuration of our Burning Legion, it will take about half a year to go there and back."
"Half a year, huh? That's not very long." Xiao Ran muttered to himself. It seemed that he was already planning to move together with the cosmic battleship Yamato. When Shigeru Okita and Gu Gujin heard Mary's words, both of them were surprised. For the two of them, the distance of 160,000 light years was a journey that required them to do their best to complete, and it was also filled with countless uncertainties.
But for Xiao Ran, he could accurately calculate all the time needed to go there and back, as if it was a piece of cake. Of course, the two of them were surprised.
However, if the Burning Legion hadn't been upgraded, Mary wouldn't be able to give the answer that it would take half a year to go there and back. After all, the original Burning Legion represented the fleet camp, and it also took them many years to spread their fleet to every corner of the Milky Way.
