Part 639: Operation: Deserved Requital - Turn 12

Operation: Deserved Requital: Tactical Update 12

“We concede the field to you, House Steiner,” Izdihar Steiner was neither infuriated nor depressed by the concession. Only rarely had planets been won or lost on the back of a single battle, and as long as the Cloud Cobras won on Yaguas her pride could survive a single lost battle. Her crystal blue eyes bored into the holed body of the enemy Cestus—if they’d been lasers it would have been sufficient to finish the enemy `Mech off. As it stood, the machine was merely her hostage. If the Lyran commander opted to continue the fight, she’d cut it down and sell her life dearly.

“You fought well against overwhelming odds, and won—but the battle for the planet has not yet ended and neither of our forces gain if we kill one another to the last. I ask for safcon—safe conduct—to allow my remaining forces to withdraw in good order. In return, your victory here will not be directly contested—the Cloud Cobras will drive your forces from the world elsewhere.”
