Inviting the Lord into the Jar

"I am Lu PingAn, temporary commander. Our soldiers have just won a tremendous victory."

"We shot down 147 Sky Knights. The Aus should have lost most of their reconnaissance flyers. All you warriors still fighting independently, your safety will improve considerably."

"We successfully destroyed a large number of their vehicles, especially the artillery carriers that posed the greatest threat. More than sixty have been confirmed destroyed. There should not be many left at their outer bases, so you need not worry about them sending heavy firepower to hunt you down."

"I do not expect you to support us, but do you not hold any resentment? Do you not want revenge? Those Aus outer bases should now all be lacking security."

"Of course, this is for our sake. Disrupting their logistics and reinforcements will effectively aid our front. But it is also for yours. Everyone knows that if we are finished, you will be the next ones hunted."

"Help yourselves."

Lu PingAn set down the microphone and took a sip of water.

He was still merely sitting there in silence, but now, no one could ignore him.

Since the battle began, he had simply done whatever he wanted without consulting anyone else. With the radio network in his hands, there was no need for discussion.

Yet every action he took seemed to have been anticipated and calculated in advance, each one tangibly changing the course of the battle.

"Report! We received replies. Some people say they will attack the Aus camps, but they need us to provide coordinates and intelligence."

"Reply to them. Use the Public Channel directly. Tell them about every Aus base we know of and let the Aus worry about it themselves."

Lu PingAn had never believed radio networks possessed any real security. He held even less hope
