Chapter 1384: Chapter 1389: How About Being Cannon Fodder?

Four for five, for Cerberus, this is unacceptable, an intolerable humiliation.

For the Black Devil, this has never happened before, it’s unprecedented, an extraordinary humiliation.

Especially since the Black Devil’s people refuse to acknowledge they are old, but they indeed are, and now that your Cerberus members repeatedly point out this fact, they are truly furious.

“We must show those little brats some real skills! If this weren’t a drill, if I could use something else instead of just foolishly…”

Rotzstoski couldn’t continue, he felt he had many means to have the Cerberus people killed without even meeting him, he truly had ways, but saying such a thing meant he was already backing down.

If one really has confidence and skill, why not defeat Cerberus using the methods Cerberus is best at? This is the Black Devil’s favorite way.

Defeat you using your best skills, and make you lose convincingly, and die with clarity, this is the Black Devil’s favorite way.

However, now the Black Devil cannot defeat the enemy using the enemy’s best methods, and Rotzstoski subconsciously admitted this fact. After realizing this, Rotzstoski felt he had lost, so even if he closed his mouth in time, he was still very angry.

Thus, Rotzstoski said in a deep voice, “This time we will take the initiative to attack, face-to-face combat, just to let them know our strength!”

Having a group of people with an average age of sixty against several people with an average age of thirty, even losing is normal, but the problem is the Black Devil’s people don’t see it that way. The bigger problem is that Cerberus’s people do.

Karl Stemonsen took a long breath, then couldn’t help but say with a very puzzled tone, “The other side, what exactly is their origin! They… are just a bunch of old men!”

No one could answer his question, of course.

A sense of defeat, an extremely strong sense of defeat.

“Chief, are these old guys really too strong… or have we regressed?”

This is being beaten to the point of questioning life, four for five would have been fine, though this has never happened in Cerberus’s combat history, but in fights, anything is normal. But four for five, ending in complete annihilation during a face-to-face clash, perishing together with the opponent’s five old men, is just too unsightly.

What other methods can be used to fight?

This is a decapitation operation, but currently, it seems this mission is unlikely to be completed.

“Continue, I want to see what exactly is the other side’s background. This time, go slower, try to discern their origin from their tactical movements and other aspects.”

Colonel Karl Stemonsen is experienced; the only defeat in his life, and it was a devastating loss that led to the annihilation of his entire force in Ukraine, but they were ambushed by artillery, which was due to an intelligence error, not a combat fault.

But here, he must win.

After two encounters, Karl already has an approximate judgment and knows the opponent’s strength. He feels it’s difficult to break through the line and complete the mission under current conditions, but he must continue to try any possible methods. Since this is an exercise, and it can infinitely be repeated, of course, it must continue.

Unfortunately, the result of the third time made Karl Stemonsen want to vomit blood.

Failed again, annihilation again, and although they indeed held on for a bit longer this time, it was only a mere thirty seconds longer. The most annoying part is, the people who were supposed to be waiting in the building for them to attack came out to attack them first, just before Cerberus was about to launch an attack.

This does not conform to the rules of the exercise, but no one has stipulated that the side waiting to be attacked cannot proactively eliminate hidden threats, so this time Cerberus lost four people and only killed two of the enemy.

Everyone wants to annihilate the opponent without own losses, now the Cerberus people no longer think this way, but the Black Devil still does, then, after they proactively launched an attack, they too gave up on this idea.

The Black Devil still wants to go again, Cerberus also wants to go again, but Yang Yi doesn’t want to waste any more time here.

If it continues like this, forget about dawn, it won’t be over even in three days.

Yang Yi’s goal was to understand Cerberus’s strength, now he already knows, that’s enough.

So Yang Yi called a halt to the exercise, he brought Karl Stemonsen into the conference room, it was now time to have a good talk with Karl.

“Hello, Colonel Stemonsen.”

Yang Yi extended his hand towards Karl, and a fully-armed Karl took off his helmet, extended his right hand, and shook hands with Yang Yi, saying, “Hello.”

“You can call me Sea God, I am in the intelligence business, don’t know if anyone has ever mentioned this to you, oh, please sit down.”

Although Yang Yi is younger, and definitely not as capable in combat as Karl, a boss is still a boss. No matter how formidable Karl is, he works for Yang Yi, not the other way around, so Yang Yi naturally has the advantage in position.

Karl sat down, then said to Yang Yi, “I didn’t know, no one told me about this, only my current boss told me he has a friend, perhaps can help me fulfill a wish, so I agreed to meet you.”

Yang Yi nodded, then said in a deep voice, “My name is Sea God, I just introduced myself. Now I want to ask whether you agree to join my organization, well, you can consider it a cooperative relationship. I will pay you a salary, or give you a commission based on the difficulty of the tasks, but it’s the kind of joining where you can’t quit after joining.”

Karl smiled, looking a bit contemptuous, and said to Yang Yi, “You want me to risk my life for you? And at a low price? Joining where I lose my freedom after joining, ha, brother, you’re still young.”

Yang Yi wasn’t angry, he just smiled and said, “You refused? Very well, this way I have an answer for my friend. I just want to remind you, it doesn’t matter if I’m young, what matters is… I don’t need you, but you need me, so are my terms too harsh? No, my terms are generous, it’s just you don’t realize it yet, so let’s end the conversation here. It was nice meeting you today.”

Karl looked a bit serious, he indeed didn’t want to inexplicably join some organization, but now he understood one thing, that is, he really didn’t have the initiative.

Karl neither spoke nor moved, Yang Yi shrugged and said, “Is there anything else?”

Karl could only yield, he said softly, “I can’t take my brothers and join some organization I know nothing about, but I can work for you for a while, only there must be a set term, like three years, I think three years is a reasonable time, not longer.”
