Chapter 586 Liwei
“Take it down!” The squadron leader took a few steps back and shouted loudly at the surrounding power-armored warriors.
Upon hearing the order, the power-armored warriors immediately pulled out their tactics/daggers, injected psionic energy, and stabbed towards Tie Zha. They were waiting for now, using psionic weapons to kill each other in the name of the government.
Tie Zha had already seen through their thoughts. He immediately decided to give up on the pursuit of the squadron leader and rushed to the side. It was like an arrow leaving the bowstring. He clenched his iron fist tightly and sent the first power-armored warrior flying with a “bang”. He knocked his helmet into the air and rolled in the air. .
At the same time, he kicked the second power-armored warrior who raised his dagger high and charged straight at him. In the next second, he saw a steel leg guard made of a “guard-grade” super-density alloy kick his opponent’s lower abdomen.
“Kuang!”
With a loud explosion, the power-armored warrior spat out a mouthful of blood on the protective glass. Like a large iron ball, he continuously rolled on the ground, bringing with him a large amount of ice residue.
In the blink of an eye, Tie Zha had severely injured two of his opponents. Although he couldn’t defeat Saint Rank, dealing with these small fish was still very easy. Especially in this kind of environment, the opponent could not use rockets, cannons, and other heavy weapons. If it was only close combat, he could take down a large area.
Seeing their teammates being sent flying, the remaining Dynamo Armored Warriors stopped moving at the same time and hesitated for half a second.
However, Tie Zha did not give them a chance to be dumbfounded. After killing the two of them, he immediately went from first place to second place. His figure was as fast as lightning, causing snow to fly up on the ground, sending the third power-armored warrior flying head-on.
A power-armored warrior on the side recovered from his shock and stabbed Tie Zha in the neck. However, the latter spun up and swept his fist over, instantly sweeping him and his saber like a spinning windmill, flying horizontally. The remaining three power-armored warriors showed horror on their faces. They all stopped and subconsciously gathered together.
Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and paused for a moment. He arched his back and suddenly shot out. Crimson flames sprayed out from his back, and with a “menacing” sound, he directly collided with the three of them.
“Clang!”
With a loud noise, the three of them fell in different directions like plastic bottles that had been blown away by a bowling ball.
The squadron leader saw that the members of the Red Tiger Legion had been instantly taken down, so he turned around and ran away with the soldiers. However, not long after, a strong wind suddenly swept past his head. Then, he was knocked to the ground and covered with a slap. His eyes instantly darkened, and he was beaten to the point that stars appeared in his eyes. Blood and teeth sprayed onto the snow, causing him to be shocked.
Tie Zha grabbed the captain’s collar and lifted it up. He said in a deep voice, “Listen carefully, I’m Quinn of the Black Wolf Legion. When we get back and find out more, we’ll come find trouble with him.” With that, he threw the squadron leader to the ground, jumped into the air, and flew towards the camp.
Two hours later, the squadron leader and the leader of the Scarlet Tiger Legion, wrapped in gauze, arrived at the command tent.
“Find out where that Black Wolf Legion came from!” The squadron leader covered his swollen face and shouted at the adjutant.
Not long after, the adjutant retrieved the information about the Black Wolf Mercenary Group from the Sand Wind Castle’s database. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, so he said to the officer, “Captain, this legion is not simple.”
“What’s the matter?” The squadron leader frowned.
“They’re in Desert Five. There are two strongholds …” said the adjutant.
“What is that?” The squadron leader said disdainfully. No matter how large the mercenary corps was, it could not be larger than the garrison under the World Council.
“No, that’s not the point …” The adjutant’s voice trembled slightly. “One of their strongholds is called Hirano …”
“Hirano?” The squadron leader asked doubtfully.
“The stronghold of Qiansakata Company.” The adjutant explained.
The squadron leader pondered for a moment before his expression suddenly changed. He cried out, “So it’s them. They destroyed Sequoia and Sakata overnight!”
“There is also the Belle Foundation, which is closely related to the Starlight Temple, and Storm Stronghold in Silver City No. 13.” The adjutant added.
“Fuck!” The squadron leader glared at the Scarlet Tiger Guild Leader and cursed loudly, “Are you filled with straw? You have offended such a person just now, you think your life is too long!”
“I…” Guild Leader Scarlet Tiger said with a bitter face, “Boss, didn’t you say that our superior is a bird…”
“Stop!” Seeing Captain Crimson Tiger slip out of his mouth, the squadron leader hurriedly interrupted him, “Go find someone for this small matter, they will immediately tell you to pack up and scram!”
“Then what should we do? Brothers were beaten like this?” Guild Leader Scarlet Tiger asked.
“What else can I do? I have to endure it. Who are you!” The squadron leader scolded.
“I don’t care. I can’t swallow this breath.” Guild Leader Scarlet Tiger gritted his teeth They were all Psionic Adepts who had left the Far East and become Silver City Nobility Clans, so they thought highly of themselves. Before he could become a noble, he already felt that his status was different from that of an ordinary person, and he was extremely noble. After suffering a loss, he naturally had to regain his face. Born in the Far East, they are deeply influenced by the culture of “face”. However, they didn’t know that the true nobles of Silver City treated face as nothing, and could compromise at any time for their own benefit. When they encountered an undefeatable enemy, they would immediately choose to win over them, not to fight them.
“It’s your business if you can’t swallow it. Don’t come looking for me. Scram!” The squadron leader roared. Although he was also from the Far East, he had been outside for a long time and knew when to be strong and when to compromise. In the face of such an iron plate, it was best to avoid it and avoid any conflicts. Just the diamond-level combat strength of the other party was enough for him to have a headache. God knows what else was hidden behind him. Forget about Sakata Industries, if he could cause a medium-sized company like Sequoia Company to collapse in an instant, then his strength would definitely not be something he could afford to provoke. Even if there were great figures from Sparrow City above him, it was impossible for him to act recklessly.
For those big shots, benefits were always the first priority. When the two evils were light, they would sacrifice their little squadron leader first. Moreover, they were the ones who initiated the trouble. If those big shots knew about it, they might be able to destroy this unstable factor of his at the first possible moment. When a subordinate’s ability to cause trouble was greater than his ability to handle matters, in the eyes of the upper echelons, he was nothing but trash and rotten meat that had to be cut off. Handling it would probably be even more vicious than dealing with the enemy, leaving no room for manoeuvre.
“Big brother, this is …” Captain Crimson Tiger raised his head, looking a little dazed.
Seeing that the former was stunned by his roar, the squadron leader sighed and comforted, “Endure it first, and then find an opportunity in the future.”
“Big brother, our faces have been smashed. How are we going to mess around in the future?” Captain Crimson Tiger’s face was full of worry. In his eyes, once he suffered a loss and couldn’t find a place, others would underestimate him and disrespect him. It had to be said that this was the grief of the Far East. The people of the Far East paid too much attention to superficial things and followed suit. First impressions often determine their attitudes, so often appearances are more important than insights. Because they do not have enough patience and wisdom to understand a person, only through appearances to make judgments, and as truth.
For example, many Far East businessmen prefer to borrow high interest loans to buy luxury cars to support their “reputation”. But in reality, other than the Far East merchants, the merchants from other regions or high-end merchants only paid attention to the transaction itself. It didn’t matter what kind of car the other party drove or what the appearance was.
Actually, it is not that the merchants of the Far East do not have intelligence, or that the philosophers and leaders of the Far East do not have intelligence, but rather that the problems are caused by traditional customs that have existed for thousands of years. At the bottom of the scale, the education is limited, so they do not have enough wisdom to distinguish between the illusionary and the real inner.
This kind of “face” phenomenon starts from the bottom of the society and gradually spreads to the middle and upper echelons. Although many middle and upper echelons have enough wisdom, due to the overall environmental problems, they have to make concessions and use “appearances” to wrap themselves up in order to win the respect of the lower echelons.
It was like two hours ago, the moment that power-armored warrior entered the tent, he wanted to show his social status by forcefully intervening and “arrogant tone.” Having the privilege of not needing to queue up was equivalent to having a lot of face and being superior to others. As a result, Tie Zha did not give in and ignored the privileges of his experts. As a result, he felt that he had lost face and secretly accumulated strength to teach Tie Zha a lesson to regain his face. In the end, he was knocked half to death. After that, the Scarlet Tiger Legion took a series of revenge actions in order to regain face.
Originally, it was a very small matter, but it was getting bigger and bigger by them. Everything was because of “face”.
Face contains extreme vanity and the gloomy view that “justice is justice without being known”, which can be said to be the tragedy of the Far East for thousands of years. Everyone lives under a false mask and feels that the world is like this, finally creating their technology backward status quo.
This was because modern science had to be rigorous, “seeking truth from facts.” It could not tolerate the slightest bit of falsehood. It had nothing to do with face, and only had to do with a sense of honor.
During the glorious flame-dominated period, the Far East once went in a good direction. People began to gradually abandon the “face to others”, the pursuit of the “sense of self-honor” from the heart. However, as soon as the brilliant sacred flame was extinguished, they began to retreat again, treating the’face ‘as an appearance as more important than anything else.
“It’s going to be a long time, isn’t the war just beginning?” The squadron leader said meaningfully.
Guild Leader Scarlet Tiger remained silent for a long time before finally nodding and sighing, “Alright …”
On the other hand, when Tie Zha returned to the camp, he immediately contacted Zhao Wenke and asked him to find out about the Red Tiger Legion.
About half an hour later, a simple report was sent to Tie Zha’s communicator.
[Red Tiger Legion, Far East Scarlet Snake Clan’s mercenary regiment, has 26 psionic abilities, generally Second to Third Order, Commander Chi Yongbin, 29 years old, active in the bottomless abyss all year round …]
After reading the report, Tie Zha forwarded it to Bi Tianye and dialed her voice, “If it’s convenient, help me warn them not to come looking for death.”
“Are you sure?” Bi Tianye asked.
“Sure.” Said Tie Zha.
“Alright.” Bi Tianye obediently replied.
