Lucat's resounding words struck like a heavy hammer into the hearts of every prisoner.
At this moment, even the usually composed Winston was shaken. A strong sense of humiliation and anger swept over him, and his hands trembled uncontrollably before he clenched them into fists.
The Yan people are too arrogant! They actually claimed this coral island, which is far from their homeland, as their territory. So it can be guessed that the other islands along the voyage from the coral island to their homeland have also been marked by the Yan people and become their islands.
The Shenglu people in front of us are too hateful. They betrayed the alliance and chose to defect to the enemy. Now they have become the pawns of the Yan people and are working for them!
Winston was seething with anger, but he didn't lash out.
Since there is still a chance to return home, we absolutely cannot die on the island. Once we return home, the first people we will settle scores with are the Sheng Lu people!
If we can't defeat the Yan people, can't we at least vent our anger on you Sheng Lu people?!
Thinking of this, Winston tried his best to calm himself down.
Federich, standing to the side, was also filled with anger and humiliation, but this time he was wiser and did not show it directly in front of Lucat, but simply stood silently on the ground.
Even though he didn't speak, how could Lucat not guess what the prisoners on the field were thinking? He looked around at the people around him, and they all had gloomy faces, clearly angry but not daring to speak out.
Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, Lucat's own expression turned cold.
He knew that things had developed to this point and there was no turning back, but since there was no turning back and no better solution, this was the only way.
The navy of Yan Kingdom is too strong, so strong that we can only act according to their orders.
He said with a stern face, "Take us to plant the Yan Kingdom flag later."
“If the flag is damaged in any way, I think you should know the consequences.”
"If you don't want things to change when you go back to China, be smart."
After he said this, Winston nodded silently, while Lucat looked at Federich with a blank expression.
Federich silently agreed.
Lucat nodded slightly and turned to his soldiers, saying, "Leave the food here for now, we're going to the Gothic camp."
"Fedrich, you lead the way."
Federich, naturally, dared not refuse at this point and could only grimace as he acted as the guide.
A short while later, before they had traveled far, they encountered the Goths who were heading their way.
When the group first encountered each other, Golter was on high alert and almost got into a fight. But when Lucate explained his purpose, Edelman immediately ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons.
Lucate then repeated to Edelman that the Yan people intended to let them return home. After hearing Lucate's words, Edelman's cold expression visibly softened.
No one would refuse the hope of living, especially with thousands of soldiers under his command. As their commander, Edelman knew that since there was a chance to return home, he had to seize it and bring the remaining soldiers back with him.
But this joy did not last long; he was filled with more worry.
Before setting sail, Feng Palen had explained that the Federal Navy was heading to break down Yan Kingdom's naval defenses, which was the first step in the Federal overseas colony plan.
Following closely behind will be a second fleet of marines. After crossing the crumbling defenses of the Yan Kingdom's coastal waters, they will rendezvous with the navy and land in the Yan Kingdom before the new year. They will then occupy the coastal cities of the Yan Kingdom and set up their battle lines there. This was the initial battle plan.
However, after this battle, the first step of the operation plan had completely failed. The navy not only failed to defeat the Yan Kingdom fleet, but also suffered heavy losses. Apart from the hundred warships that survived on Chalmers Island, it can be said that it lost almost all of its naval combat power.
With the first phase of the operation failing, the situation for the Marines sent later was extremely dire. Just thinking about what would happen to these men made Edelman's head spin.
If they were to encounter the Yan Kingdom's fleet during their voyage, given the Yan Kingdom's naval strength, the Second Fleet would surely be annihilated in the event of a battle. After all, the Second Fleet was responsible for transporting the army, and in terms of naval combat power, it was not even as strong as the fleet they had brought.
What should they do? According to their sailing route, they will pass by Coral Island sooner or later. The Yan people do not know whether they should choose to return home, stay here, or continue sailing along this route.
Although the Yan people now claim the battle is over and treat them as prisoners of war, it's easy to imagine how enraged they would be if they learned that a fleet from the Federation was still following behind.
And by then...
Edelman frowned, his heart growing increasingly agitated.
Is it possible to be honest with the Yan people at this time in exchange for the withdrawal of the Second Fleet?
No, absolutely not!
If we were to confess to them at this point, it would completely expose our intentions. The Yan people would not be so magnanimous as to pretend nothing happened and allow each of us to return to our respective countries. Instead, they would be thoroughly enraged and would not only prepare for battle in advance but would also directly kill our group of prisoners!
The Second Fleet will also be doomed, dying in naval warfare, a field they are not adept at.
So, if we can't be honest with the Yan people, how can we notify the Second Fleet to evacuate as soon as possible?
According to the original plan, they should already be on their way, but I and my soldiers are stuck on Coral Island, unable to leave the island or send out any intelligence.
