Chapter 150: Lily's Suspicions

"Thank you for the help." The captain said to Lily.

"Don't mention it. We are here to help." Lily responded as she glanced around.

"I'm sorry we didn't make it on time." Lily said with a heavy voice.

She could easily make out the fact that the company has lost a lot of men. A unit of sixty-four soldiers now remained only twenty two. One could imagine how gruesome the earlier battle must have been.

"Don't worry about it. It wasn't your fault. Let's leave this sad matter for later. The main task at hand is to get these people to a safe place."

The captain pointed at the civilians that were rescued. There were initially about fifty of them, but more than half had died in the course of retreating, leaving behind just twenty-four.

"Our shuttle is down so I hope you can help them."

"Don't worry. We have a mechanic with us. As long as the shuttle isn't turned to scrap, he should be able to get it running." Lily comforted.
