Forbes General reacted extremely strongly, slamming his hand down on the table with such force that it not only sent papers flying but also drew everyone's attention to him. His slightly angry voice echoed in the briefing room, revealing his dissatisfaction and suspicion: "This is impossible! How could there be such a big commotion and I not know about it!" His furrowed brow clearly showed his confusion and even suspicion towards the information provided by his staff.
Forbes General continued, "In the past few months, there have indeed been many messages related to the underground, but an entire army of chaotic forces underground? I find it too unbelievable!" From his words, it was clear that Forbes General held a strong skeptical attitude towards the content of the report. As the leader of the army, he had a deep understanding of the planet's security situation and a wide network of information, so it was only natural for him to question sudden, unconfirmed threats.
Forbes General's words not only reflect his personal skepticism about the intelligence, but also indirectly express dissatisfaction with the work of the staff officers, undoubtedly adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere in the briefing room. His disbelief may also represent the general attitude of some people in the military towards the content of this report, which is undoubtedly a problem that needs to be handled properly for Governor Marcus and other senior officials present.
General Liliqwitan, with her unique elegance and ease, faced Forbes General's strong reaction with just a smile. Her smile carried a subtle and imperceptible sarcasm, as she casually responded, "Oh... old Forbes, don't dwell on such embarrassing little things. People make mistakes, don't be so concerned." Her words seemed to be trying to ease the tense atmosphere while subtly criticizing Forbes General's attitude with the wisdom characteristic of her Eldar.
However, this statement clearly did not have the intended effect. Forbes General responded to Liliqwitan with strong dissatisfaction, his anger ignited by her dismissive attitude. Forbes glared angrily at Liliqwitan, almost snarling in retort, "Damn it! What the hell are you saying? You damn!" His reaction was intense and direct, evidently expressing his displeasure and disagreement with Liliqwitan for attempting to handle such a serious issue in a flippant manner.
This sudden dispute not only revealed the significant differences in the personalities of the two generals, but also reflected the differing concepts and approaches that may exist among the leadership when facing unknown threats. The casualness of General Liliqwitan and the seriousness of Forbes General formed a stark contrast, representing not only a personal dispute, but also a manifestation of different views on how to deal with the current crisis. At this critical moment, such differences undoubtedly brought more challenges to Governor Marcus and other senior officials present.
Liliqwitan faced a fierce rebuttal from Forbes General, and her expression suddenly became fragile, as if truly hurt by the rough words. This appearance may have been carefully crafted to ease the sudden conflict, or she may have genuinely felt a hint of displeasure. However, in this awkward and tense atmosphere, Vice Admiral Barbossa stepped forward, attempting to calm the dispute.
Vice Admiral Barbossa's voice carried a hint of mediation as he softly said, "Oh... let's not argue for now. Our primary goal should be to quickly confirm the enemy's position and exact numbers..." His words were filled with rationality and foresight, reminding everyone present that internal conflicts were not the key to solving the current threat.
Next, he continued, "According to what those mercenaries said, the Skaven have a strong reproductive ability. Even if we have strong firepower, if the enemy uses a tactic of overwhelming numbers, our people will surely suffer." Vice Admiral Barbossa's words not only highlighted the seriousness of the problem, but also directly pointed to the urgency of taking immediate action.
In this discussion, Vice Admiral Barbossa played an important role. He not only successfully refocused everyone's attention on dealing with the current crisis, but also used his wisdom and calmness to resolve potential differences. His words brought a hint of calm to the tense meeting room, reminding everyone that internal unity and cooperation are crucial when facing a common enemy.
Facing Vice Admiral Barbossa's attempt to calm the conflict and refocus attention on the imminent threat, Forbes General's reaction was unexpectedly intense. Instead of accepting Barbossa's goodwill, he escalated the tension. Forbes General's voice echoed in the tense conference room, filled with dissatisfaction and anger: "Shut up! What rank do you have? How dare you speak to me like that!" This disrespectful tone not only constituted a personal insult to Vice Admiral Barbossa but also deepened the division among the officials present.
In the face of Forbes General's outburst, Vice Admiral Barbossa's expression darkened slightly, revealing a hint of imperceptible disappointment and helplessness. Despite his status being no less than Forbes', Barbossa chose to remain silent in the face of such blatant insult. He did not further argue but instead raised his hands in a clear gesture to indicate his choice to withdraw from this futile argument, unwilling to exacerbate the conflict between them any further.
This scene not only demonstrates Vice Admiral Barbossa's restraint and maturity, but also exposes Forbes General's stubbornness and intolerance when faced with dissent. In this discussion, the senior officers who should have been united against external threats instead showed more obvious divisions due to Forbes General's strong reaction. Barbossa's silence is not only the best response to Forbes' inappropriate behavior, but also a silent appeal for the rationality and calmness needed in the current predicament.
