Last Totem Novel - Chapter 592
Chapter 592 Veteran General
Not long after, streaks of blue light appeared in the sky. They drew high-speed arcs and landed in the direction where the Six-eyed Insect had died, causing snow waves to billow. At this time, the colony of soldiers had long since retreated without any damage.
Under their cover, about half an hour later, Tie Zha and the others finally arrived at their destination and began to set up a communication station.
The main function of the communication station is to amplify the satellite signal, so that the communicator can be used normally, covering a radius of 30 kilometers. However, humans had only entered the Aurora Plane for a few years and had only launched a small number of satellites. As a result, the communication signals were very poor and intermittent. In order to solve this problem, the Silver City military used a point-to-point connection method, connecting multiple communication stations in parallel without relying too much on satellites. But the downside is that the density of the site rises from a radius of 30 kilometers to a radius of 15 kilometers.
When the engineers set up the station, Tie Zha left the team alone and commanded the army to scout around. It had to be said that after absorbing psionic energy, the speed of a soldier ant’s flight had reached 80 kilometers per hour, and the efficiency of its scouting had increased considerably.
Ten minutes later, a small demon tribe of several hundred people was discovered five kilometers away. Looking at the children playing in the tent and the old woman hammering on the pears, Tie Zha couldn’t help but feel a sense of familiarity. Just like what they saw in the Fire Hammer Tribe a few years ago. He didn’t expect that in a blink of an eye, he would stand on the opposite side of these tall and honest tribesmen who were fighting to the death.
He couldn’t help but think, if he wanted to destroy this tribe, would he also kill all these old people and children?
For a moment, he was a little confused. He was a lonely wolf who grew up in the wilderness. He did not hesitate to kill those who threatened his life. However, he still couldn’t bear to face the commoners.
When they returned to the team, the communication station had already been set up. Tie Zha took out the communication device and dialed Mu Yuqinxin’s video communication.
‘”Hi ~” A light voice came from the other side, but he frowned and asked with a heavy heart, “Xiaoqing, can you contact your sister?”
“It’s very difficult” Mu Yuqin paused for a moment and added, “Unless it’s through the Great Sacrifice.”
“Where’s Eva?” Tie Zha asked.
“I can get in touch with her, but as the acting marshal of the expeditionary army, she is at the forefront of the storm, and there are Heavenly Choosers eyeing her from the side. It is very likely that your conversation will be monitored.” Mu Yuqinxin said seriously and then asked, “What’s wrong, brother?”
“This” Tie Zha scratched his hair and said, “I have a problem right now. I want to hear their opinions.”
Mu Yuqinxin volunteered and said, “Ask me.”
“Is it really appropriate to massacre civilians from Elda?” Tie Zha took a deep breath and asked.
Mu Yuqin thought for a while and asked, “Is the current Aurora Plane a battlefield?”
“Yes.” Tie Zha thought for a moment and replied.
“Are there civilians on the battlefield?” Mu Yuqinxin continued to ask.
“This” Tie Zha hesitated.
“The ones left on the battlefield are all warriors, and …” Mu Yuqin raised a finger. “This plane only has a river. The closer the land is to the river, the more valuable it is. So …” She shrugged her shoulders. “This is their own choice.”
“But” Tie Zha still hesitated. He had killed many people in his life, but he had never taken the initiative to harm women and children who were unable to resist, unless they were accidentally injured.
“Big sister always said that being kind to enemies on the battlefield was cruel to oneself, and compassion for outsiders was betrayal of the same kind.” Mu Yuqin said firmly, “There is no right or wrong in fighting for the race. There is no good or evil, only survival.”
While Tie Zha was talking to Mu Yuqin Xin, a new round of military discussions began in the conference room of the Golden Battleship.
“I suggest that we increase the merit count by 50% within the time limit to encourage the mercenaries to join the battle as soon as possible.” Sky Chooser Randall suggested.
“I object!” General Milo Field stood up and looked at Randall, his eyes seemingly about to spit out fire. “In less than three hours, we lost 537 aircraft and nearly 26,000 combatants.”
“That’s why we should give them more generous rewards.” Randall said.
“Increasing the temptation will only further increase the casualties of the mercenaries.” “We must try to end the war within two months. As far as I know, the Purple-Eyed Demons have already begun to seek help from the other demons.” “No matter how many opponents we have, we shouldn’t be greedy and rash.”
“General Miro, I have deep doubts about your position.” Randall raised his head and said.
“Likewise, Kreemans brat, I deeply regret your judgement!” Miro said tit for tat.
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the highest military meeting for the Aurora Plane war.” Eva Green reminded.
“Sorry, I was impulsive.” Miro turned around and bowed solemnly to the marshal to apologize.
“Alright, I shouldn’t have said such baseless things.” Randall spread out his hands and said.
“Today’s meeting will come to an end. We will continue our discussion tomorrow morning at ten o’clock.” Eva announced.
“General, I wish you all a pleasant day.” “See you in the afternoon.” After bidding farewell to each other, the holographic projections of everyone extinguished one after another.
Seeing the last figure disappear from her seat, Eva rubbed her eyebrows. Sherry turned on the light and handed over a cup of coffee.
“Sir, it’s been hard work.” She said softly.
“These days, the Heavenly Choosers are really going too far.” Eva said with a frown. These people took advantage of Youge’s absence to interfere in the expeditionary army’s affairs, making her very passive.
“General Miro is a real soldier, shouldn’t we persuade him?” Xue Li asked.
Eva raised her slender finger and lightly tapped on the table. After thinking for a moment, she said, “After dinner, you can talk to him and remind him not to fight against the Chosen One.”
“Yes, sir.” Xue Li nodded and said.
At 7:00 p.m. Silver City time and 68:00 p.m. Scarlett time, Shelly dialed General Milo Field, the commander-in-chief of theatre five.
“Good evening, General.” In front of the communication screen wall, Xue Li nodded to the old general and greeted him.
“Hello, child.” Miro said humbly. Shelly’s official position was as an assistant to the Dawn Expeditionary Army Clerk. Simply put, the clerk was equivalent to an assistant in the company, while the assistant’s assistant was equivalent to a small secretary, with no real power.
“Marshal Greenday told me to advise you not to be as sensible as those young children.” Shelly hinted.
Miro was stunned. A peaceful smile gradually appeared on his wrinkled face. Then, he nodded and said, “Thank you for your concern, son.” Then, his expression froze and he said seriously, “But I am a soldier with a straight rectum and a straight stomach. I can say whatever I want to say in my heart.” His voice was loud and clear, “Anyway, I’m already an old man, there’s nothing to be afraid of!”
“General” Xue Li was stuck in her throat, unable to speak.
“I’ve already received your kind intentions. Thank you.” The old general bowed deeply to her and hung up the communication.
Even though she had already expected the result, Xue Li still felt her chest was extremely heavy, as if she could not breathe out a single breath, and her expression became gloomy and sad.
Even though this upright old general was already in his twilight years, he still maintained the faith in his heart. Born as a mercenary, he had experienced those difficult years, and he could feel the sorrow at the bottom. At this moment, he was using his old body to protect the warriors at the bottom.
Two hours later, at 9:00 p.m. Silver City time and 7:00 p.m. Scarlett time, Tie Zha, the Black Pig King, and two power-armored warriors arrived 1,500 meters away from the Demon Race stronghold. They lay on the back of the snow hill, looking at the flaming tribe and whispering to each other.
“The two of you, stay outside the stronghold and provide us with firepower cover.” Tie Zha instructed.
“Yes.” The two power-armored warriors replied at the same time. Half an hour ago, the mercenary wearing sunglasses came up with this crazy idea. He wanted to wipe out a small tribe of several hundred people with four people. However, after witnessing the extraordinary battle prowess of the two bigwigs, they had the intention to follow, so they did not refuse. Moreover, with the mobility of the power armor, they could escape at any time.
Then, Tie Zha turned to the Black Pig King and said, “Follow me after you enter. Don’t get separated.”
“Alright.” The Black Pig King nodded his head straightforwardly.
After making the arrangements, Tie Zha and the Black Piggy King Cat sat on their hips and took advantage of the night to sneak towards the tribe.
A few minutes later, the two arrived five hundred meters away. Tie Zha used the power armor’s luminous long-range lens to observe for a while. In the middle of the tribe, a few demon warriors sat around the fire, as if they were roasting something to eat.
“Zzz zz …”
The lens zooms in, and the viewpoint extends forward, gradually focusing on the barbecue.
When he saw it clearly, Tie Zha’s stomach started to churn. It was actually a human corpse pierced through an iron rack, its skin shining with grease. As for the demon race men, they were holding knives and cutting meat from it to eat.
The Black Pig King’s expression did not change. He grew up in the southern cemetery, and it was no wonder that people ate people.
Tie Zha suppressed his discomfort and began to scan around with the life detector on his helmet. Finally, half an hour later, he found a demon scouting bee crawling in the shallow snow.
The two of them did not alert it and circled around to the periphery of the tribe. Then, they exchanged glances and pounced towards a larger tent.
The Black Pig King lifted the tent cloth and Tie Zha quickly rushed in. In the faint light of the fire, a tribal warrior lay on a piece of beast skin, sleeping soundly and snoring loudly.
In the blink of an eye, Tie Zha raised his saber and cut the warrior’s throat. The warrior immediately woke up from his shock. He stared at Tie Zha with his bell-sized eyes. He covered his neck with both hands. Blood continuously flowed out from between his fingers. His legs randomly kicked the animal hide on the ground. There was a soft “chuckle” sound in his throat.
A moment later, dozens of large ants that were emitting faint blue light emerged from the hole and quietly flew into the surrounding tent.
