Chapter 980: Chapter 973-974 What More Could You Want Than a Bicycle 2_1 Chapter 980: Chapter 973-974 What More Could You Want Than a Bicycle 2_1 “That’s just how badass it is, you can’t help but concede!
Soldiers are born with an admiration for the strong, no matter where they are, and the Galactic Federation is no exception.
So now, these people are almost ready to idolize their opponents in their hearts.”
“There’s just no other way.
If the two sides were evenly matched and the opponent only had a slight advantage, I bet these folks would be grinding their teeth in frustration, not admitting defeat and still wanting to compete.
But when they’ve been completely outplayed from start to finish, they can only start seeing the other side as an idol.”
The crisp sound of leather boots echoed from within the room, and soon Lucy Watson, dressed in a sharp military uniform, appeared at the doorway.
She stepped out, seemingly unaware of the crowd outside.
...
When she saw the large number of people, she paused montarily in surprise.
However, quickly recovering from her initial astonishnt, she walked forward, ignoring everyone else and went straight to Finn Lewis.
With a crisp “snap,” she snapped to attention and saluted Finn Lewis, and then briskly reported, “Your Highness, Colonel Lucy Watson has completed the task you entrusted to !
Awaiting your orders.”
“Well done.
As of today, you’re a Major.
I’ll give you your own fleet to command,” Finn Lewis said decisively.
Over at Roman Rodger’s side, the people started to stir, with only Roman Rodger aware of the situation.
The others, especially those fifty staff officers, had no clue.
After waiting for a while, they were surprised to see that only a woman ca out of the room and no one else.
In fact, soone couldn’t resist rushing in to check.
When this person ca back out, his face was a picture of utter dismay.
The others quickly pulled him aside and started whispering inquiries.
Soon, they managed to extract the outco from him.
Yet, as the realization dawned on every face, expressions of shock, disbelief, and finally a certain indecipherable emotion—resentnt mixed with defeat—surfaced.
“Commander?” one of the staff couldn’t help but ask Roman Rodger.
“Yes, these past days, the only adversary we’ve faced has been this one person, the very Lucy Watson you see before you,” Roman Rodger owned up with unhidden pride.
There was nothing to deny.
The truth was plain, like it or not.
After saying this, ignoring the astonishnt among his subordinates, Roman Rodger walked over to Finn Lewis.
Upon reaching Finn Lewis, he looked at Lucy Watson, who stood behind him, with a touch of admiration.
He then addressed Finn Lewis seriously, “Alright, Your Highness, I admit it, we’ve failed.
You can take full command of the fleet.
But Your Highness, Colonel Lucy Watson—oh, Major Watson—she wasn’t just so random staff officer you pitted against us, was she?”
Roman Rodger wasn’t foolish.
By now, he had realized that while Finn Lewis had indeed acted spontaneously at the ti, it was clear that Finn Lewis must have known in advance just how formidable the woman he was up against was, and this act was intended as a power move, to put them in their place.
At any rate, Roman Rodger didn’t believe that just anyone from Finn Lewis’s staff could achieve such a feat.
Finn Lewis looked a bit odd—not daring to claim Lucy Watson was chosen at random—but he was sure that he could find many others capable of defeating Roman Rodger and his team.
