NOVPUBChapter 973: Chapter 967 Dismounting Display of Power 4_1 Chapter 973 -967 Dismounting Display of Power 4_1 The sudden appearance of two warships instantly triggered the shrill alarm system of the entire command center, and that was not all—the defense systems of the command center also went into overdrive.
However, it was no use, because just after the jump, those two warships emitted a blinding white light and self-destructed!
The massive loads of terrifying bombs they carried swept the entire star field clean in an instant, and Roman Rodger’s vision turned white as he was directly blasted away.
Immediately afterward, the voice of the main control computer rang out in his mind, and since the command center was completely destroyed, he was judged to have completely failed.
Roman Rodger’s mind was in total shock.
He couldn’t understand how he could have been defeated without doing a thing.
How much time had passed between the start and his loss?
...
Roman didn’t know what to do, while Finn Lewis and Alexander Rodgers also fell into an odd silence, as less than half an hour of external time had passed since the battle began to its end.
Though time inside the simulation might have been longer, it likely amounted to only a few hours.
But in just those few hours, had his base already been taken down by the enemy?
Roman was at a loss for words.
The simulated battle had ended, and the outcome was clear; naturally, both sides had returned to the same room.
Not only did Roman see Lucy Watson, but Finn Lewis and Alexander Rodgers could see her as well.
Roman stood there in silence, his complexion dreadfully grave.
He had considered all kinds of scenarios, but he had never anticipated such a development.
It was exactly as the saying went, “I thought of the beginning, I considered the process, but I never imagined the outcome would be like this.” At that moment, Roman was at a loss for what to say.
He now realized that Lucy Watson must have taken a shortcut just now, employing a completely gambling-like approach.
Although he didn’t know how she locked on to his command center, it was an absolute gamble, betting her entire fleet on the location of his command center.
Would something like this happen in reality?
Roman wondered in his heart.
It was utterly impossible, but as a soldier, he couldn’t deny the possibility and say it didn’t count.
A loss was a loss, and Roman had enough integrity to accept that; he was just not willing to concede in his heart.
Therefore, the atmosphere grew quite strange, “You’ve been outmaneuvered,” Alexander suddenly spoke up.
As Alexander spoke, Roman as well as Lucy Watson and Finn Lewis all looked over.
Alexander ignored the gazes of Finn and Lucy, addressing Roman directly, “What’s the most important thing for a soldier, for a commander?
It’s to remain calm!”
“From the first meeting, this lady has been continually challenging and provoking your nerves.
Therefore, before it even began, you had already fallen into a state of anger, perhaps without even realizing it.
But your emotions were already unstable.
When a commander’s emotions are unstable, it’s impossible to make accurate judgments.
Right at the start, I guessed you would definitely attack with maximum speed, not to mention this lady who has been calculating against you all along.
So, you lost deservedly.”
Alexander’s words made Roman freeze completely.
After coming back to his senses, Roman felt a rising anger and suddenly turned his head to look at Lucy Watson.
Clearly, by then, he had also realized what happened, but there was nothing he could do because Alexander was right.
