Teams will have to adjust their node positions accordingly to expand the blast area. 1 23 23 301 Hans We can only rely on hand-held devices for surveying and mapping, which significantly delays the time in which we can execute the plan. 1 24 24 301 Hans Considering the time required to change orbit and for Babylonia to charge the arsenal, combined with the terrain nearby and the mobility speed of the troops, it will take at least ten hours to ensure that all nodes are deployed. 1 25 25 301 Hans By that time, the Red Tide will inevitably spread to an area less than ten kilometers away from the refugee camp. 1 26 26 301 Hans To be on the safe side, I don't suggest relocating the nodes. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the attack range will completely cover the Red Tide. 1 27 27 301 Hans We have issued an emergency evacuation order to the refugees, but they are unwilling to vacate the area. 1 28 28 301 Hassen How do you wish to proceed? 2 29 29 204 1 3 30 30 301 Hans Although the World Government Parliament has been relocated to space with the Eden-class Babylonia, the people on the surface are still our comrades. 1 31 31 301 Hans We are all citizens of the World Government. Citizens must fulfill their basic obligations, including cooperating with the army in emergency asylum. 1 32 32 301 Hans According to the instructions of Article 21 of "The World Government Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act"—If civilians are found while executing a mission, they must be notified and evacuated to safety. 1 33 33 204 1 34 34 301 Hans Unfortunately, it appears that they are unwilling to evacuate. 1 35 35 301 Hans According to the instructions of Article 22 of "The World Government Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act"—If civilians insist on remaining within the boundaries of an operation, military forces are authorized to forcefully remove all civilians. 1 36 36 301 Hassen You know quite well. 2 37 37 301 Hans I have committed all of the rules and regulations to memory, even if they are no longer applicable in this era. 1 38 38 301 Hans Please allow me to evacuate these refugees under the pretense of successfully deploying the domain nodes— with or without force. 1 39 39 301 Hassen Request granted. Evacuate the civilians by any means necessary. 2 40 40 301 Hassen But remember, Babylonia will only initiate the attack once node deployment has been authenticated, regardless if the evacuation is a success or not. 2 41 41 301 Hassen We have only one chance. This is for all of humanity. 2 42 42 301 Hans Understood. 1 43 43 301 Hassen Any other issues? 2 44 44 301 Hans No, sir. Report complete, Mr. President. 1 45 45 301 Hassen Wait. 2 46 46 301 Hans What is it, Mr. President? 1 47 47 301 Hassen ... 2 48 48 301 Hassen Hans, you experienced the Great Evacuation first hand. You're one of the most experienced soldiers in active service. 2 49 49 301 Hassen You should know why I entrusted you to be the commander of this operation instead of handing over the task to the younger generation. 2 50 50 301 Hassen For example, the up-and-coming Gray Raven Commandant. 2 51 51 301 Hans I don't, Mr. President. 1 52 52 301 Hans My duty is to obey orders. Soldiers don't need to speculate on any factors other than their mission. 1 53 53 301 Hassen Is that really how you feel, Hans? 2 54 54 301 Hans ... 1 55 55 301 Hassen A soldier is not only a member of the army, but also a member of humanity. 2 56 56 301 Hassen Young soldiers tend to forget the former due to the latter. 2 57 57 301 Hassen Only after refining themselves over a lengthy military career will they steel their judgement. 2 58 58 301 Hans So you have tasked me with this mission because I have the necessary experience, and you trust my judgment. 1 59 59 301 Hassen Not only that. 2 60 60 301 Hassen Judgment entails responsibility. When passing judgment, you must bear the full weight of its consequences. 2 61 61 301 Hassen Night is too heavy for the dawn of a new era. 2 62 62 301 Hassen I don't doubt their fearlessness in the fight against the Corrupted, but they have yet to awaken to a higher calling. 2 63 63 301 Hans Yes, I understand. The responsibility of our generation should not fall on the next generation. 1 64 64 301 Hassen The atrocities committed by our generation should not be repaid by future generations. 2 65 65 301 Hassen Hans, I know the cruelty I ask of you. 2 66 66 301 Hassen But the blood of the youth has not been cooled over many long years. Such is the same for their passion. 2 67 67 301 Hassen I don't want them to lose this passion so early. 2 68 68 301 Hassen So I must play the judge, and you the executioner. 2 69 69 204 1 3 70 70 301 Hans As you wish, Mr. President. 1 71 71 301 Hans When I accepted my appointment, I was ready for the worst. The current situation is within my expectations. 1 72 72 301 Hans Moreover, I didn't think I would have a chance to return to the surface ever again. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. 1 73 73 204 1 74 74 301 Hassen Such gratitude is unnecessary. 2 75 75 301 Hassen Humanity may have emotions, but the universe does not. 2 76 76 301 Hassen Babylonia is the scale that balances the past and future of humanity. 2 77 77 301 Hassen The fulcrum between the two is a steel wire hanging over the abyss.
