"No, you can’t do this, that’s over ten million lives!" Allen’s face turned an iron blue, yet he attempted to remain calm, "We can drive the beastmen back, we must believe in the power of the people." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by N0velFire.ɴet
"How many would die then? Five million, or ten million?" Another general with glasses shook his head, "You should understand that confidence can be shattered. The longer this drags on, the more disadvantageous it is for us. It’s better to go for broke, people will die regardless. All we need to do is to preserve the ember."
"No, you butchers, you can’t do this." Lieutenant General Allen had already lost some control over his sanity amidst the hopeless situation.
"Allen, we can’t hold out any longer. Have you seen the latest intelligence? The beastmen not only have military superiority, but tanks and cannons are also being produced continuously from their factories, being thrown directly onto the battlefield. They have even developed missiles now, Allen. We have already wasted too much time." Pang Tuoke suddenly became somewhat disheartened, and his words further cast a pall over the atmosphere of the entire room. Here, there was no such thing as defeated nations and captives, because once defeated, it would be the complete extinction of a nation. The beastman only required food, they didn’t even need slaves.
"Take Lieutenant General Allen away, do not allow anyone to contact him." Pang Tuoke waved his hand, glanced at Tang Zheng and his two companions, and said, "I’m sorry, but you three must die. I don’t want today’s incident to leak out and cause public panic."
A team dressed in black uniforms and fully armed security personnel aimed their guns at Tang Zheng and his companions. Among them, two stood out, forcibly leading Lieutenant General Allen away.
"Admiral, I have something to say!" Upon hearing the death sentence, Ruan Zhimin was taken aback for a moment and immediately spoke up, having already heard the plan from Tang Zheng. He didn’t want to die alongside the Lieutenant General.
Beastmen were close by, and all of those present were high-ranking officers of the base. No one had the time to listen to a civilian’s drivel. The adjutant standing next to them closed the door and his face changed, signaling to their subordinates to get rid of them quickly.
Over twenty guns aimed at them immediately spat out a tongue of fire, filling the entire corridor with deafening gunshots.
Tang Zheng cursed under his breath. The moment he saw the others’ actions, he released the Gravity Suppression, then took out his Thunderstorm Rifle. He somersaulted in the air, breaking out of the encirclement, and fired at the individuals on the periphery.
The blue Thunderballs hit the security personnel, blasting them to bits, splattering their remains on the pristine white walls.
Tang Zheng initially wanted to volunteer himself, so he didn’t want to kill anyone, thereby avoiding the awkwardness for both parties. However, they didn’t give him, a mere civilian, a chance to speak his mind. It seemed that the only thing left to do was to show his strength.
The powerful Gravity immediately descended. All the soldiers within a five-meter radius were forced to the ground, unable to move an inch. The bullets also changed their trajectories, causing several men to be shot by friendly fire.
Ruan Zhimin and the Big-breasted Sister were also on guard against Tang Zheng, fearing that he might kill them easily. However, the moment the gravity descended, their faces turned pale.
"So he has dual Seed Abilities?" The tips of the Big-breasted Sister’s fingers could form invisible blades that could cut through iron like mud. Unfortunately, her ability was suited for close combat and was completely suppressed by the Gravity. If Tang Zheng decided to shoot her in the head then, she definitely wouldn’t be able to dodge.
Ruan Zhimin pushed off with both feet, retreating forcefully. His immense strength allowed him to knock over five soldiers obstructing his path, barely managing to escape the suppression range. Moreover, his left eye shot out a laser, piercing through six soldiers and even melting some of the walls.
Ruan Zhimin took out his Gravity Gun and shot at the soldiers, his eyes fixed on Tang Zheng, prepared for sudden attacks from his end.
For a moment, Tang Zheng truly wanted to take out the two nuisances. What if the mission’s requirement was a team battle victory? However, Ruan Zhimin demonstrated such formidable combat skills that Tang abandoned the idea.
In just a minute, over thirty members of the security team were wiped out. The entire corridor was bathed in blood and reeked of an unbearable stench.
The adjutant didn’t escape either. He was minced by the Big-breasted Sister. Seeing no one left to report, Tang Zheng knocked on the door to the room and then walked in.
"How are you not dead?" A Brigadier General saw the fresh blood on Tang Zheng and was taken aback, reaching for the revolver in his holster.
Bang, Tang Zheng blew up the table in front of the Brigadier General with a shot.
"You better not make any sudden moves, otherwise, I can’t guarantee what excessive actions I might take." Tang Zheng felt that if he were to kill everyone in the meeting room, he would effectively be beheading their chain of command. In such a case, the beastmen would inevitably win without a fight.
"What are you trying to do?" Pang Tuoke was still expressionless. His many years of supreme leadership experience had taught him to control his emotions.
"We can kill the Mad Female Orc in a one-on-one battle. Don’t you need such powerful bodyguards?" To strengthen his persuasiveness, Tang Zheng punched a hole through the wall, the thickness of an adult’s palm.
All the generals present were dumbfounded, nearly dropping their jaws in shock.
"We only wish to survive, that’s it. As for Lieutenant General Allen, we just happened to bump into him on our way while breaking out from the small town." The Big-breasted Sister pointed at the soldiers in the corridor, "That’s proof of our strength."
The generals remained expressionless, looking towards Pang Tuoke, waiting for his response. It was evident that Pang Tuoke held significant prestige among the generals.
"I agree, but about your companions..." Pang Tuoke was very decisive. At this stage, he had no room for negotiation.
