“Do not escalate the situation, Captain,” said Hyong irritably. “They will not attack, and if they did your weapons would do no good.”
Kim snapped, “How could you know?”
“Twice now General Namgung has deployed our greatest weapons, yet we still live.”
“Hold your fire,” said Kim over the radio as hundreds of machines arrived.
