Faced with such an urgent situation, Haidun Rieyang, the commander, is confronted with a difficult choice.
He could abandon the base and flee. With his abilities, the probability of a successful escape back to Skru Star is over 99%.
But the troops in the base are his direct subordinates, many of the high-ranking officers are his students who he has groomed for years.
If he tried to take all the students above the sixth rank with him, he'd likely end up so hindered that he himself would be unable to escape.
It's like a bystander jumping into a river to save a drowning person; if not careful, the rescuer might end up being dragged under by the drowning individual.
Beyond these two choices, the only remaining option is death in battle.
Does he want to die here?
Of course not!
As a bona fide commander, dying on the battlefield isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's a fitting end.
But the problem is, a death should have meaning.
