Chapter 173 Injustice



Yang Cheng doesn't actually need to worry about being recorded as killed by the Explorers Legion.

Because the Corps doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with him right now.

Although they ultimately won the battle against Jaguar, they suffered heavy casualties and depleted their supplies.

Those armed fighter jets and other heavy weapons were almost completely used up; this was a stock that the tower had accumulated over decades.

Regarding casualties, although the Explorers Corps had rich combat experience, they were at the forefront of the attack and suffered more than forty casualties, including a squad leader.

The Guardians fared even worse, losing over ninety men, most of whom were killed in the chaos before they could mount a proper counterattack, their deaths utterly meaningless.

With such a large number of casualties, the top level of the tower must be held accountable, and Thorrod cannot escape blame.

However, while Thorold was no good at commanding battles, he was a master at political infighting.

Upon returning to the tower, he immediately felt he was in trouble, so he turned the tables and reported the matter to the tower council, shifting all the blame onto Duan Nanping.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the Explorers Corps headquarters building was tense. Dillon, Duanmu Ci, and others all had angry expressions on their faces, but they dared not make any rash moves.

Three men in black suits sat in the center, their bodies shrouded in a thin layer of mist, giving them an ethereal and imposing air.

These three people are members of the Tower Committee.

The Tower Council has more than two hundred members, but only about twenty of them actually have the power to make decisions.

These people form the Tower Council, the true arbiters of the entire Tower.

The mist surrounding them was not a deliberate act of mystery, but rather a special protective shield.

It has the effect of isolating external air and blocking toxic gas radiation, and can even block bullets and light laser weapons.

"Duan Nanping, Solod accuses you of underestimating the enemy and advancing recklessly, resulting in poor command and heavy losses for our Tower side in this battle. What do you have to say about that?"

A member of the high tower spoke, his voice seemingly transmitted through some kind of device, ethereal and otherworldly.

Duan Nanping gave a desperate, bitter smile: "It was clearly that idiot Thorod who underestimated the enemy and acted rashly, but the blame has been pinned on me. Everyone in the Explorer Legion and the Guardian Legion is watching."

As a result, the committee members came to interrogate me. What could I possibly say? You can decide for yourselves.

Duan Nanping was already heartbroken and didn't even want to argue anymore.

One of the committee members frowned and said, "Do you think we're being unfair?"

Dillon quickly said, "Committee members, please calm down. That's not what Old Duan meant."

Solold and Duan Nanping were both in command, and Solold's rank was one level higher than Duan Nanping's.

All the command was led by Solold, and in the end we suffered heavy losses, but it was Old Duan who was punished. That's not fair.

Thorod sneered, "What's the use of a high rank? This Colonel Duan is very domineering. He slapped me on the spot. How could I dare to compete with him for command?"

Everyone saw that Duan Nanping was in charge of the later stages, but the battle turned out like this. Doesn't he need to take responsibility?

Moreover, we only discovered after suffering heavy losses that Jaguar's entire camp had been emptied, and Jaguar's fate is still unknown.

Not only was this battle a complete mess, but we also lost all face and dignity. Whose responsibility is this?

Thorold is clearly using a fallacy of equivocation.

He underestimated his opponent and acted rashly at first, which led to this outcome.

If Duan Nanping hadn't turned the tide at the critical moment, the tower might have faced a complete collapse.

Duan Nanping was too lazy to argue anymore, because arguing would be useless.

Thorod comes from the wealthy area on the fourth floor, and his family has connections in the Tower Council.

It can be said that he himself is a loyal follower of the Tower Council, so why would the Tower punish him?

Duanmu Ci could no longer hold back and stepped forward, coldly saying, "If Deputy Commander Duan seizes command, our entire Gaota side will be wiped out!"

"Sorro, can you swear that none of this was caused by your initial underestimation and recklessness?"

Thorod looked at Duanmu Ci with disdain: "A mere squad leader, you dare to make me swear an oath here? Dillon, does your Explorers Legion have no rules left?"

One of the committee members frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Enough! Stop arguing."

In short, the tower suffered heavy losses this time, and someone must be held responsible!

All three members of the high-level committee looked at Duan Nanping, their attitudes were already very clear.

This matter must be explained, and Duan Nanping is that explanation.

Dillon also looked bitter.

It was clear from above that Duan Nanping was to be made a scapegoat, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Just then, Tang Huang suddenly burst into the hall.

"Boss! Yang Cheng has brought back Jaguar's head!"

Dillon and Duanmu Ci's eyes lit up immediately.

Jaques's head was obtained by their Explorers Legion, which was definitely a great achievement.

Yang Cheng strode into the hall, placed Jaguar's head on the table, and said to Dillon and Duanmu Ci, "Commander, Captain, I apologize, I seem to be a little late."

Dillon immediately beamed: "Not too late, just right."

Thorod frowned as he looked at Jaguar's severed head and said, "Are you kidding me? This is Jaguar."

This guy was clearly fat, how did he become so skin and bones?

Dillon said casually, "Soroder, can't you be a little more professional?"

Jaguar has a record in the tower; the scan of his face and the child's eye confirms it is indeed Jaguar.
