Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 0931

When soldiers were taken prisoners, all of their usable weapons would definitely be taken away as well. In other words, the Pyro Company soldiers were truly unarmed.

Meanwhile, the enemy they were facing was the expeditionary army who might not be defeatable even if they were armed.

At the beginning, these soldiers did not entirely resist capture. In the Pyro Company, there was nothing shameful about being held captive by the enemy. What they should do was to preserve their strength and wait for an opportunity to strike back.

Although their goal was to keep humanity’s flame alive in the Central Plains, it did not mean they had to fearlessly charge at the enemy and sacrifice themselves. If the expeditionary army used them for hard labor later, they would still have a good chance of making themselves useful again.

But after the Stelaria Consortium’s people told them what the expeditionary army intended to do, the Pyro Company soldiers realized they had no chance of fighting back anymore. If they remained alive, they would only cause trouble and casualties for their friendly forces. Furthermore, a large amount of ammo would be expended if their Central Plains compatriots had to kill the 3,000-odd of them when they got to Mt. Zendravasih. Rather than becoming a burden, they might as well fight to their deaths.
