The battle (4)

Everyone here is worried about their lives and their minds are in a fragile state. The wrong word might push them into the enemy's hand.

"Brothers, what are you still waiting for? Alpha Chaos has less than seven thousand men remaining. If we leave now, they won't be able to hold on till tomorrow and after tomorrow, we'll all be in the winning team!" He said with enthusiasm.

"Who told you the Lu faction only has seven thousand? If we add twenty thousand of the SIN into that equation, there'd be twenty – seven thousand men."

Everyone gasped in shock. Even Maverick wasn't left out. He was astonished at his wife's skill of lying.

Rex blinked a couple of times. Didn't she say the SIN had ten thousand men? How did it become twenty thousand?

Seeing their disbelief, although her husband had a neutral face, she could tell he was surprised else he'd be smiling.
