Chaplain! - Chapter 1212: 1209

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1209

“Step… step, step…”

Jessica Wright’s pace was not fast, and with each step she took, her wounds would crack open.

Where she passed, fresh blood stained the white snow!

Every step she took was a struggle!

In truth, even if she did die by her senior brother’s blade, he probably wouldn’t be too upset over her, would he?

In truth, Jessica Wright’s heart had already died after she saw Oliver Walker and was rejected by him!

She became even more extreme!

She would no longer express her love!

Even if she were willing to sacrifice her life for Oliver Walker, she would still make Oliver Walker hate her to the bone!

Perhaps such behavior, if known to outsiders, would be hard to understand, but if one knew what Jessica Wright had gone through within the company to return to the pyramid, they would understand!

If not for her deep obsession, with her talent, her strength would only be more terrifying than it is now!

And when she reached the door…

Unable to control her emotions, she turned around for another look.

But all that was left for her was the man’s back!

Perhaps this was the last glimpse, perhaps once she stepped out of this door, she would be chased with full force by Jin Lishi and Vivian Li.

But she had no regrets, for having loved…

No!

For she had always loved!

When she turned around again, a tear slid down her lovely cheeks.

“I…”

Oliver Walker suddenly turned around, but it was ultimately a step too late, and he never got to see the girl’s silhouette again.

In his heart, he had a thousand words to say, but everything was swallowed back down with Jessica Wright’s departure!

No one knew how much pain he was in right now!

How much he was struggling inside!

The remaining Imperial Guards remained silent for a long time!

In the company’s courtyard, the air was still mixed with the cold scent of blood!

“Huff…”

Oliver Walker looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, “What are the casualties?”

The scene fell silent!

When speaking of casualties, the only thing that came to the minds of the soldiers was the tragic image like a blood-colored setting sun!

After a long while, Zhang Kai spoke with a heavy heart, “Severe!”

“But the facilities inside the base are intact!”

“Except for the hundred or so of us and those who escorted Mr. White and other scientific staff out, all the rest have died heroically for their country!”

Silence!

Deathly silence!

Since the establishment of the Imperial Guards, there had never been such a great loss in any battle!

Nine hundred people!

Those were nine hundred elite soldiers!

Any single one of them could stand alone as a king of soldiers!

But this is reality!

This is the gap between ordinary soldiers and powerful ancient warriors!

A chasm-like gap!

“You’ve worked hard!”

Oliver Walker said dispiritedly, then added, “From now on, the base is to be taken over by the Ocean City Battalion, you all go and rest!”

Tragic!

Too tragic!

Before, there was no other choice since the Photolithography Machine had not been created, and everything had to be done in secrecy.

But now it’s different!

Having completed the research, they now have more leverage in dealing with the Eastern Alliance!

Additionally, the previous secret defense was to prevent leaks, so there was no disposition of many high-tech weapons.

That’s what allowed the opponents to slaughter so mercilessly!

But after the Ocean City Battalion takes over, this place will become the highest-level military restricted area in the pyramid.

The soldiers responsible for guarding it will also be equipped with the most cutting-edge weapons!

Even strategic weapons!

“Yes!”

Zhang Kai stood at attention and saluted. Although he felt a great reluctance, he understood that the mission had been completed!

The secret base will now officially become a top secret!

This will surely be a formidable deterrence to the Eastern Alliance!

Oliver Walker turned around to face the few remaining Imperial Guards, intending to commend them or offer consolation, but in the end, he stopped himself.

What kind of commendation had these elites not received before?

What psychological hurdle could they not overcome with their exceptional mental strength?

So anything he could say seemed superfluous!

After sighing, he then turned and left; there were still many issues to be addressed!
