Lucat's powerful words were like a heavy hammer, hitting every prisoner's heart hard.

At this moment, even Winston, who was emotionally stable, felt shaken in his heart. A strong sense of humiliation and anger swept over him. His hands trembled uncontrollably, and then he clenched them into fists.

The Yan people were too arrogant! They actually divided this coral island far away from their homeland into their territory. It can be speculated that other islands on the voyage from the coral island to their homeland were most likely also flagged by the Yan people and became their islands.

And the Shenglu people in front of them are too hateful. They betrayed the alliance and chose to rebel and surrender to the enemy. Now they have become the vanguard of the Yan people and are working for them!

Winston was filled with rage but he did not express it.

Since there is still a chance to return home, we must not die on the island easily. After returning home, the first people to be settled are the Shenglu people!

Since I can't defeat the Yan people, can't I vent my anger on you, the Shenglu people? !

Thinking of this, Winston tried his best to calm down.

Federici, who was standing by, also felt angry and humiliated, but he was smart this time and did not express it directly in front of Lucat. He just stood there in silence.

But even though he didn't say anything, how could Lucat not guess what the prisoners on the field were thinking? He looked around at the people around him. These prisoners all had gloomy faces, and it was obvious that they were angry but dared not speak.

Looking at the expressions of these people, Lucat's face also turned cold.

He knew that things had developed to this point and there was no turning back, but since there was no way back and no better solution, he had no choice but to do this.

The navy of Yan State is so strong that it can only act according to their orders.

He said with a sullen face: "Take us to plant the flag of Yan Nation later."

"If the flag is damaged in any way, I think you should know the consequences."

"If you don't want to go back to your country and things to change, be smart."

After these words were spoken, Winston nodded silently, while Lucat looked at Federici expressionlessly.

Federich agreed silently.

Lucat nodded slightly, turned to his soldiers and said, "Leave the food here for now, and we will go to the Golts' camp."

"Federici, you lead the way."

Of course, Federich didn't dare to refuse at this time, so he had to act as the guide with a sullen face.

And a moment later, before they had gone far, they met the Golts who were heading this way on the road.

When the group first encountered them, Golter treated them as a formidable enemy and almost had a conflict with them, but when Lucat explained his purpose, Edelman immediately ordered his soldiers to lay down their weapons.

Then Lucart repeated to Edelman what the Yan people said about their plan to let them return home. After hearing Lucart's words, Edelman's stern expression visibly eased a lot.

No one would refuse the hope of living, not to mention that there are thousands of soldiers under his command. As their superior, Edelman knows that since there is a chance to return home, he must seize this opportunity and bring these remaining soldiers back home.

But this joy did not stay in his heart for long, and he was filled with more worries.

Because before setting sail, von Palen had explained that the purpose of the federal navy's setting sail was to defeat Yan Country's coastal defense, which was the first step in the federal overseas colonial plan.

A second fleet will follow closely behind. They will be the land soldiers. After passing the coast of Yan State where the defense line has collapsed, they will reunite with the navy, land in Yan State together with them before the New Year, and occupy the coastal cities of Yan State, where they will set up battle lines. This was the original battle plan.

But after this battle, the first step of the action plan had completely failed. Not only did the navy fail to defeat the Yan Kingdom fleet, but it suffered heavy losses. Except for the hundred warships on Charme Island that survived, it could be said that it had almost lost all of its naval combat power.

If the first step of the action plan fails, the situation faced by the Marines sent later will be extremely bad. Edelman felt dizzy just thinking about what to do with these people who came later.

If they encountered the Yan State fleet during the voyage, then with the Yan State's naval strength, once a battle broke out, the Second Fleet would definitely be wiped out. After all, the Second Fleet was responsible for transporting the army, and in terms of naval strength, it was not even as good as the fleet they brought.

What should they do? According to their sailing route, they will pass by the coral island sooner or later. The Yan people don’t know whether they will choose to return home, stay here, or continue sailing along this route.

Although the Yan people now say that the battle is over and that they are all being treated as prisoners of war, it is conceivable that this will anger them if they learn that there is a fleet from the Federation behind them.

And by then......

Edelman frowned and became increasingly irritated.

Can we confess to the Yan people at this time in exchange for the withdrawal of the Second Fleet?

No, never!

Once we confess to them at this time, our intentions will be completely exposed. The people of Yan will never be so magnanimous as to pretend nothing happened and return to their own countries. Instead, they will be completely enraged and will not only prepare for a fight in advance, but will also directly kill our captives!

The Second Fleet will also not be spared and will die in a naval battle, which they are not good at.

So, if we cannot confess the truth to the Yan people, how can we notify the Second Fleet and let them evacuate as soon as possible?

According to the original plan, they should have been on their way by now, but he and the soldiers were detained on the coral island, unable to leave the island, let alone pass on any intelligence.

The situation is urgent and cannot be delayed, but it seems to be a dead end at the moment.

What should be done to allow the Second Fleet to obtain intelligence, avoid contact with the Yan Kingdom Fleet, and return home safely...

Just as Edman was thinking hard, Lucat said coldly:

"I've heard about the conflict you've had lately."

"To survive, it is inevitable to fight, but you don't have to do that now. Count your numbers and report to me. I will allocate five months of survival supplies from our fleet's spare supplies for all of you."

"We will return at full speed. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be back in Leon in more than a month. Once we get back, I will immediately notify your country. If they immediately prepare a warship to redeem you, it will only take less than two months to reach Coral Island."

"Supplies are sufficient, you only need to stay here for a few months."

Having said that, this is not what Lucat really wants to do.

In fact, if we want to get the Rose Fleet and the country out of this war as much as possible, the best way is to let all these people die here, without leaving any one alive!

As long as the Rose Fleet can return home safely, no matter how other countries attack her afterwards, at least she can still tell the "most favorable" fact as a survivor.

If these people return to their country, what they will tell is most likely: "The Shenglu people deserted the battlefield, causing their own defeat, and the Shenglu people became running dogs of the Yan people, doing things for them!"

Lucat had reason to believe that these guys in front of him would say this, so he wanted to eliminate all these hidden dangers immediately, but it was too risky to kill these people under the noses of the Yan people.

The people of Yan definitely want to see them return home, otherwise they would not have gone to so much trouble to arrange all these things and deliberately keep them on this island.

Therefore, these people cannot be killed and must not be killed. Once they are killed, the people of Yan will definitely turn against them.

This is an unsolvable conspiracy. Lukat can figure it out, but he can't break it. The only thing he can do is to make a request to the Emperor of Yan Kingdom during the meeting tomorrow...

At this moment, Edelman suddenly asked, "After you have settled us, will you return according to the original route?"

Lukat thought he was the same as Federici, so he didn't treat him well and asked coldly, "Why? What do you think?"

Aidman's eyes flashed, and he saw the hope of sending out information in Lucat's words. He shook his head and said, "Of course not."

Then he walked over to Lukat, who looked wary, but Edelman whispered, "I want to talk to Marshal Lukat about something."
