Chapter 1031 -632: Taking Responsibility_1

“I’m sorry, I let the Empire down. I let the Sages down and my closest comrades, my best friends, including you. As a commander with a great responsibility, I forgot my duty during the long journey and lost my judgment under the temptation of kinship. I personally cultivated the leader of the rebel army, causing a disaster. If it had not been for your strategic planning, all would have been lost. Although the matter is over, someone needs to bear this responsibility, and it must be me.”

General Cage left Quentin with just these words and a broken, shattered corpse.

“Give Solent Cage a proper funeral.”

Quentin ordered.

“Master…”

“Go on, I need some rest.”

Quentin waved his hand, cutting off Dylan’s words.

When Dylan left the room, Quentin’s tense body suddenly loosened, like a deflated balloon.

He rested his elbows on the table, his fingers digging into his hair, rubbing it.

Only then could he alleviate some of the distress in his heart.

Quentin had planned the entire scheme from start to finish, aimed at giving the Free Will Alliance a chance to vent and to recognize the importance of unity, while showing them the only way out.

In Quentin’s initial calculations, once the Doomsday Suppression Program executed close to ten million people, the situation would stabilize, and the death penalty would be abolished, replaced by mandatory cryofreezing.

However, in reality, the Doomsday Suppression Program didn’t stop, even escalating into armed conflict, threatening the entire Prometheus Project.

The most dangerous moment was when the mad Bill Klayston broke into Kamilia Camp’s room.

Fortunately, the unexpectedly awakened Tiffany Bell took control of the situation, but then the same cold-blooded Tiffany seized control of the battle and the highest command.

Over 80% of the three hundred million deaths were basically caused by Tiffany leading the force loyal to the fleet’s original mission to suppress the armed elements.

The Free Will Warriors did not completely lose their ability to resist when they surrendered.

It’s just that these Second and Third Generations, who were born inside the fleet and had seldom been out on missions, had always been indoctrinated about the fleet’s formidable strength and how powerful Instructor Tiffany was.

The thought of becoming Tiffany’s enemy made most Free Will Warriors feel apprehensive and deeply frightened.

After the top warrior of the Free Will Alliance was easily killed by Tiffany, this sense of fear reached its peak, quickly crushing the already fragile will of the rebel soldiers.

However, before the last rebel soldier laid down his weapon, the total death toll had exceeded three hundred million, with billions more embryos losing activity due to damage to the ships.

According to estimates, the fleet’s overall strength in science, production, and military fields declined by more than 30%, which is tens of times more severe than the losses suffered in all encounters so far.

Just now, Quentin was merely forcing himself to stay strong in front of Dylan, but deep down, he already felt immense guilt.

He had already begun to wonder if he had really grown too old, his judgment declining, and his comprehensive planning ability no longer sufficient to assume such heavy responsibility. He thought it was time to psychologically intervene with Solent Cage, tell him the truth, and gradually delegate authority to this long-time assistant, cultivating him into a transitional highest leader.

However, Quentin did not expect Cage to commit suicide by shooting himself.

Quentin was deeply hurt.

The reason for the deep hurt was not that he lost a long-time friend and a successor he wanted to entrust with the task, but that he was shocked to discover that his judgment had declined to such a pathetic level.

No matter what the reason, suicide is always the most shameful means of escape when facing difficulties…

With Cage’s mental state and ideological realm, he was not even qualified to be an ordinary soldier, let alone deputy commander or acting commander.

“I couldn’t even see that, and I wanted to pass the position on to him. How disgraceful. How could I have been so foolish?”

Quentin slapped himself hard.

He won by luck, but he lost completely.

That was Quentin’s summary.

A few days later, more and more people returned to their jobs, various affairs resumed, damaged ships began to undergo repairs, the recovery of waste materials, and the mass production of new mass-energy collection devices, and the situation gradually stabilized.

Quentin called Dylan back to his office.

“Master, what do you want?”

“I’ve already made arrangements. At tomorrow’s highest meeting, I’ll announce my retirement and hand over the position of highest commander to you. I’ll become a counselor.”

Dylan hesitated, shaking his head, “Master, I’m not ready yet. Although we have controlled the internal situation now, in a few years, our distance from the Galactic Center will be less than 4,200 light-years. According to intelligence provided by the Empire, the enemy has been increasing patrols near the Galactic Center since 50 years ago. We haven’t had an encounter in years, and according to statistical and probabilistic theories, the probability of an encounter increases every second from now on. The fleet still needs your experience, Master. The fleet can only lead…”

Quentin interrupted Dylan again, “Dylan, I know what you’re thinking. You think that if I step back now, it would mean I resign out of guilt, hurting my reputation, right?”
