Chapter 247 - 244 Downfall III

V.42 Downfall III

Everyone is anxious about the situations on the front line. After all, just a few hours ago, the situations on the front line despite the blockade of major forces were forced to retreat, many independent forces such as the adventures team and Mercenary Group. Some of them are corresponding with many news outlets across the Galaxy who are willing to pay good money for any news about the situations on the Redline particularly any news on The Crossing.

But after the sudden massive attacks of Ganesh. all leading the forces were forced to abandon the Crossing and retreated to create a Defensive Line, and in order not to create any panic and more chaos, all forces agreed to block all news, including the Mercenary Guild and Adventurers Guild. They all issued a code red warning to all who would try to leak any news.

So instantly all news from the frontline has seized, no matter how much the news organizations offered, no adventures and mercenaries would give them any details. In fact, they all stop communicating...

Many Adventurers and Mercenaries felt their heart bleeding seeing the great offers of the news organizations, but despite that no matter how much they like money, what's the point of it if they cannot spend it. After all, breaking a Code Red warning is punishable by death. Even if they tried to escape, they will be hunted down by all the forces involved.

And sending secret messages is not an option either, all communications are now being monitored by all forces. Except for GT.

No Organization can Force GT to follow their orders. In fact, they have no authority to order GT around, as one of the most powerful independent organizations in Bright Galaxy. No Organization can force GT to do anything against their will.

But suddenly live footage of the war is being broadcast.

They saw the intensity of the fight. To many, this is the first that they saw the raw and unfiltered footage of the war.

Using Scout drones, GT has broadcasted the war Live. There was no commentary and hardly any sounds only high definition video.

Gaia is filtering thousands of live footage and choosing only the clearest and the best angles to broadcast while avoiding GT secret weapons from being broadcasted. Gaia also prioritized and highlighting the heroics of GT soldiers. Once in a while, Gaia would release the conversation between pilots, or sounds of explosions, but most of the time the video remains soundless.

Many news outlets tried to edit or make commentary, but because it is live their commentary only serves as distractions, and so many chose to watch the live footage itself instead of those from news outlets.

Some news outlets tried to block the live footage so that they can edit and add commercials to it only to fail. After all, the footage comes directly to GT and under independent channels under GT, so unless they cut all internet communication it's impossible to stop it from broadcasting.

The truth is that even if they do that those that have GT phones can still access the footage, and they can easily share it through another means.

But what really stops them was when GT issue a copyright warning to those who would use their footage without GT approvals…

And no organization on the Galaxy would disregard GT's warning.

So all media outlets who are planning and those who already using the footage have all stopped.

————————————

Back several hours ago.

When Dianna and Oda learned that many GFA and The Coalition forces are still on standby waiting for orders, despite the consequences of losing the Crossing. And Redline.

Even knowing that The defensive line is the only thing stopping Ganesh from reaching their homeworld.

It didn't take a genius to figure out something is wrong.

The absence of their leaders in critical situations. Despite the chaos happening inside their very organization. And the precarious situations on the frontline.

It wasn't just Dianna and Oda who can feel something is wrong.

Admirals who are on standby, continuously trying to reach their leaders. Only to fail. Many are tempted to mobilize despite the lack of order.

But they all stop, after all mobilizing without order, is equivalent to court-martial, or even worse they can be branded as traitors or rebels. And be executed for it.

Only someone like Admiral Sheila Jones has the courage to go against orders after all even if she lost her job GT would welcome her with open arms. And she is not worried about being branded a traitor, before she makes her decision to mobilize she called Dianna about her decision, and Dianna only words for her are "go ahead I have your back"

After being made a liaison to GT she and, Lisa was able to form some sort of friendship with Dianna and Tiffa.

Even now despite no longer liaisons with GT, she is still receiving a special solution from GT.

And besides, even if Dianna didn't approve she would still mobilize, she won't let her former boss, Admiral Ford, and her friend who she considered a little sister Lisa, battle alone not if she can do something about it. That's just the way she is.

Lisa tried to convince other Admirals to mobilize, unfortunately mobilizing means leaving the base they are guarding defenseless so it's not an easy decision to make.

Lisa only leaves without worry after Dianna reassured her no harm would come to the base she is guarding.

For one the base she is guarding is near Kidlat, and that place is under Legion.

Another thing, her base is mostly unmanned, but that doesn't mean it's not important. no, it's the opposites Admiral Shiela's base is very important, as many rare resources that come from Kidlat are stored there.

And without her, it can easily fall to any pirates roaming the area.

But other admirals are entrusted in guarding outpost, or an important supply base, and even a trade city or space stations.

And those places without anyone protecting them can easily be attacked by any forces, and that means a massive loss of life.

Especially those who are guarding a colony.

So Lisa only told them the importance of this war and what it means to lose the defensive line and have them decide for themselves, for she knows how hard the decision can be to the many Admirals and Captains.
