Chapter 18 The Fighter, the Escaper

"Massacre? Do you know what you are talking about?" Cao Shuo turned his gaze to Zhugezhai standing beside him, with an incredible expression on his face. High-speed update

On the sea far away from Tiandu, in Xing Tian’s main ship bridge, Zhugezhai saw that the decisive battle was about to be imminent, but offered a plan to completely destroy Tiandu.

"Boss, I might as well say bluntly that the nuclear warheads on the 14th and 19th ships are ready..." Zhugezhai obviously knew what he was talking about. He not only said it, but also prepared the matter without hiding it.

"When did you get that kind of thing?" Cao Shuo's eyes looked meaningful when he looked at Zhugezhai.

"My subordinates... reached a deal with Zigui Frontline." Zhugezhai seemed to have made up a lot of determination before replying.

"Is that true..." Cao Shuo snorted coldly: "Where are the conditions?"

Zhugezhai replied hesitantly: "They want to fight the gods' wine."

"Ha!" Cao Shuo said: "So that's the case, so you, who first proposed the attack Tiandu plan, suddenly changed your mind and dragged the attack date again and again, just to wait for the transaction to be completed, right?"

Zhugezhai felt guilty, but he did not show fear or cowardice: "I also want to prepare a backup plan for this plan. After all, the Lord and Jueying are in charge..."

"You are worried that I will lose." Cao Shuo interrupted: "If I lose, you will use nuclear weapons to resolve the battle."

Zhugezhai said: "Boss... I am a strategist, so I have to make this decision. This is also for the organization and for the brothers..."

"Okay, I know what you mean." Cao Shuo said: "You know me very well. I hate killing innocent people, and I won't use nuclear weapons. So... you just do these things secretly and don't let me know." He paused for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhuge Village!"

The other soldiers and commanders on the bridge were all attracted by the shout and turned around. Everyone was confused. The two big men were just discussing things politely. Why did they suddenly start to shout?

Cao Shuo sighed, waved his hand, and signaled his subordinates to continue to work on his own. He then returned to his usual tone and said, "You plot against me, I don't blame you."

"I have no such intention! This..." Zhugezhai quickly explained.

Cao Shuo shook his head and continued, "It's already a scheming to me, deceive my superiors and conceal my subordinates. Even if I don't have this intention, I have done this. Don't say much, I will not blame you."

Zhugezhai nodded, and this time he remained silent.

Cao Shuo said again: "Your idea is indeed correct. If you come to ask me in advance, I will never agree to you to use nuclear weapons. Even if you have already killed and loaded things up and brought them, I will not allow it to be launched." He looked ahead and looked at the obscure and twilight light in the east. "I just don't understand that in the original plan, only our Xingtian army came to attack Tiandu. At that time, the nuclear bomb was still your "reserve plan"; but now, the army on the front line also came to attack this place, and it is expected to form a pincer attack with our army. The chances of victory are obviously greater. Why do you propose to use nuclear weapons to massacre the city directly?"

Zhugezhai didn't even think about it and asked Cao Shuo directly: "Boss, we... are we on the same front line as Zi lure the front line?"

"Of course, they are both rebel organizations. They have common enemies for the purpose of overthrowing the tyranny of the empire. And they are not gang-like forces like White Lightning." Cao Shuo also answered almost without thinking.

"Yes, it seems that now. All the rebellious organizations around the world that can be called "government" are all promising Yiqi and seeking tyranny. Although there are conflicts and frictions between each other, they are generally unanimous in opposition to the empire." Zhugezhai stopped here and raised his grass fan in his hand: "But what after the fall of heaven? Take today's battle for example. If the Emperor ** is defeated, who should this city belong to?"

Cao Shuo obviously hesitated for a few seconds, and when he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhugezhai: "Boss, you must want to say, 'Whoever fought this battle should be the one who deserves it', right? But the account of military achievements can never be calculated. The number of casualties, the loss of mechas, the loss of ability users, etc.... After we win, can we put this data on the table and count on the people on the front line?" He sighed: "Boss, the technology, military, financial and human resources of the front line are stronger than us. In the chaos, we have the opportunity to take advantage of the weak to defeat the strong. Missing the opportunity will definitely be the general trend. This day, why should we compete with them?"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "Then... the military advisor means..."

"Since you've said everything, I have three strategies for the present... I've offered it." Zhugezhai bowed and said, "The best strategy is to march to Tiandu about 30 kilometers and stop the air fleet. Our naval forces are already farther behind and should not be affected.

When the Empire and Zi lure the front line to start a war, we sent high-speed raid mechas and brought nuclear bombs to close range. When the two armies fought fiercely, the defense of Tiandu facing our army would definitely become weak, and the mechas that dropped bombs would have the possibility of getting close. Even if they were really shot down, they would be detonated directly at a long range.

As long as it succeeds, the dynasty will collapse once the Tiandu is destroyed, and the world will be in a separatist situation. Zigui Front is also within the range of nuclear bombs. This battle will definitely suffer heavy losses and will not be able to advance westward in the short term. Xingtian has Long County, which is dominant in East Asia, and is adjacent to Shuangying County occupied by the empire. Once Tiandu is destroyed, even if the emperor does not fall down and scatter, he should be hit hard. At that time, whether we persuade surrender or fight, we will be sure to win, and we will be able to win Shuangying County in the near future. In this way, Xingtian's sphere of influence is not much different from Zigui Front, and he is even better than the Steel Rules of Europe and the Yanwu Union in Africa.

From then on, we can follow the Qin people's method of fighting far and near, throwing the territory in Australia and the Pacific to the front line to attack. We will gradually embezzle various regions on the Eurasian continent, and it is also a matter of time before we conquer the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa."

Cao Shuo did not immediately deny the other party, but just shook his head slightly. He couldn't think about the future, and he still had to throw this account to Zhugezhai to settle it in the future. However, Cao Shuo understood the account in front of him very well. He just didn't want to use nuclear weapons to kill a large number of people. Although there are almost all nobles and royal families who came from exile from all over the world in Tiandu today, the number of civilians still accounts for the majority. This is his basis.

"I also know that you are kind-hearted, but you missed this opportunity..." Zhugezhai observed his expression and wanted to persuade him again.

Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Don't the military advisor have three strategies, let's talk about the last two."

Zhugezhai sighed lightly and said, "Slow up the march and rectify the situation. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. The military strength of the front line is at least 30% stronger than our army. They will launch an attack at the latest before the throne ceremony begins. Anyway, we can wait, even if we don't fight today. The troops on the front line can go back, because the troops on the front line come to intervene today, and 80% of the city will be occupied by them. Why should we fight for the foundation of others?

The current zi temptation front has the greatest advantage in the world pattern. If Clauze ascends the throne, they are most anxious, not only more anxious than us, but even more anxious than the other princes. Therefore, in today's battle, we do not need to fight, but they must fight.

The main strategy is to wait for them to fight against each other, and our army will act according to the opportunity. If we lure the front line, we will withdraw without spending one soldier or one soldier, and we will not hurt capital; but if they lose, they will win miserably, or the two armies will be in stalemate... Our opportunity will come. By then, both armies in Tiandu are at the end of their strength, and our army can take advantage of the situation.

But... with this strategy, the initiative is ultimately in the hands of the other party. War is unpredictable after all. If the empire or tempts one side to win a great victory on the front line and end the battle quickly, we will be very passive.

Whether it is Clauze who successfully repelled the offensive and ascended the throne, or lured the front line to capture Tiandu, claiming to be the number one hero in defeating the empire, it is not good news for Xing Tian. The situation in the world in the future will be unpredictable."

Cao Shuo said: "Then...what is the worst?"

Zhugezhai replied: "The worst strategy... is very simple, just advance normally. By the way, contacted Zigui Frontline, indicating that our army was willing to give in to Tiandu and cooperate with Zigui Frontline's attack. It was considered to do some diplomatic work in advance, with a long-term plan." He delayed for a long time before he said the last four words.

After hearing this, Cao Shuo said nothing and fell into deep thought.

Zhugezhai sighed again: "It's just a matter of being incompetent. It's a helpless move to exchange a small amount of Fighting God's wine for nuclear weapons. If there was no lord, our army would be at least 70% sure of taking Tiandu, but his existence forced me to do this. This is not to distrust you, the boss." He sighed again and again: "Oh... the time was delayed due to the transaction, which was my first miscalculation; and my other miscalculation was that I didn't expect that Klauze could make the emperor abdicate in him, and things happened so quickly that it caught people off guard, and it led to the situation where the front line and our army sent troops at the same time. Our army could have fought a surprise attack on an ordinary day, but now it has become a rush to compete with the front line, and it is still facing the imperial defenders who have already set up their own formations."

"Okay, I've decided." Cao Shuo thought about it again and again, and suddenly he felt relieved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Zhugezhai said: "Boss, it's for..." He really hoped to hear the other party reply to his word "best plan".

"I don't need your three countermeasures." Cao Shuo replied.

Zhugezhai was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"Give orders to let ships 14 and 19 return, and there is no need to follow him." Cao Shuo said.

"Boss... Even if this nuclear weapon is not used, it will serve as a deterrent effect." Zhugezhai said.

"Do what I said." Cao Shuo's tone slightly, and Zhugezhai immediately understood that his intention had been decided, and it would be useless to say anything else.

"Subordinates obey the order." Zhugezhai replied.

"Military advisor, do you believe me?" Cao Shuo suddenly asked.

Zhugezhai hesitated for a moment, but could not figure out what the words mean: "I wonder what the boss is referring to?"

"Anything." Cao Shuo said: "Can you trust me like a believer in the Iron Commandment, Cesare. Bamond is God?"

Zhuge Village replied, "No." He said very seriously: "They are called worship, and the kind of belief is blind and unwise. The facts also prove that Bamond cannot bear this kind of trust." He said respectfully: "And my trust in your boss is because you do what you say and dare to do it. As long as you say, I believe it. It is not based on unconditional worship, but real trust."

"Very good." Cao Shuo's tone remained unchanged: "I'm going to be alone now and come to Tiandu first. You will lead the troops to keep moving forward at the current speed. When I come back, I will tell you... the final decision."

Zhugezhai understood the purpose of what he said just now. Cao Shuo meant that since he said he would come back alive, he would definitely do it. Don’t tell him anything like saying that he might go alone and never return. Just believe him.

"Please, please...be sure to bring the Dou Shenjiu to you." Zhugezhai could only give such advice at this moment.

Cao Shuo said: "No more trouble, I will drink the Fighting God's Wine first. Then I will leave."

…………

Tiandu, inside the floating island.

Shen Key is gradually approaching the power core of Tiandu. The scenery along the way is very similar. They are all four metal walls, and the light sources on the walls have almost the same arrangement order. Most of the paths are not built for people to walk on, and they are quite narrow. And they look the same. However, Shen Key is a good maze walker. Tianyi has already shown him the structural drawings inside Tiandu, which gives him a certain concept in his mind.

The location of the bookstore before was quite close to the entry point of the power core, and there was no other suitable entry space within the closer range. Even so, this distance was very long. After all, the sky was as big as a city, and the space on the floating island at the bottom was even more amazing. The metal path was bent and difficult to distinguish, so that the Shen Key took longer than expected to have not arrived yet.

After a considerable distance, the surrounding metallic substances changed and became a very strong alloy, which means that nearby equipment is very important and has a higher safety level. The God Key estimates that when a considerable area is completely made of net alloy, it will almost arrive.

As he walked, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Without any warning, Shen Key's breathing was stopped, as if his nose was tightly wrapped by a layer of things. His mouth couldn't open, and he wanted to raise his hand, but found that it was not possible. Then he realized that his limbs were entangled with an invisible force.

Shen Yao tried to live his neck and barely lowered his head. Looking closely, he could see many mesh objects woven by energy. At this moment, he already knew who he had met.

The huge net in the area on the surface of the floating island is very different from this net at this moment. This net is very fine and dense, like a layer of tulle, but very tough, even stronger than steel.

After confirming that the prey fell into the net, Sean appeared from the shadow of Yin in the distance. His feet were covered with sticky energy threads, allowing him to walk upside down on the ceiling, saying something off topic... He liked this very much.

"Long time no see, God Key." Sean spoke.

Shen Key did not answer because he couldn't open his mouth at all.

"I won't kill you right away, just because I'm not sure... whether your ability will be affected by your death will be suspended because of your death." Sean said: "After all, your ability is very strange, and it is an extremely rare alien in the unknown field. It's completely difficult to analyze. If you die, the 'Jueying' commander is still 'locked', it will be troublesome." He said, jumping from the ceiling and turning over and standing: "Average people who have not been trained, hold their breath.

The time will not exceed two minutes. The body will accelerate the arrival of suffocation during this period. However, judging from your performance when you were watered on Hell Island, you seem to be able to hold your breath..." Sean walked to Shen Key: "Let me make it clear. If you want to survive, remove your abilities and surrender. Don't have any fantasies about escaping. My energy spider web... Even a leech ghost can't make it. The useless action will only make you fall into an oxygen-deficient state faster."

Shen Yao's expression gradually changed, his face obviously became sweaty, his face began to turn blue, and his eyes showed a look of panic.

Sean smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't let you speak because you can breathe. But you should also notice that you can move your head slightly, so if you are willing to work with me, nod if you don't agree..." Sean shrugged: "Just keep struggling, I'm not in a hurry."

Shen Yao's expression seemed to be getting more and more painful. He struggled with his limbs, but to no avail. His feet seemed not to be off the ground, but in fact the center of gravity was no longer on the soles of his feet. He leaned forward and attached himself to a net, and there was no possibility of leveraging the force, but he didn't nod.

From the beginning of the slump, five minutes passed, and Sean watched Shen Key with expressionless face, shaking his feet, whistling, and looking indifferent.

"It seems you are determined to die, or are you still not giving up on the hope of breaking free?" Sean continued to put pressure.

"Hahahahahaha..." Shen Yao suddenly burst into laughter, and the painful expression on his face disappeared in a second.

Sean's expression was sucked, froze in place, as if he was stunned.

"Is it fun?" Shen Yi took two steps back easily and patted his clothes like dust. The energy spider webs seemed to have lost their activity, showing withered fragility, and were easily pulled off by Shen Yi. After a few strokes, all of them fell to the ground.

"You..." Sean realized that during these five minutes, it turned out that he was being fooled, and anger suddenly rose in his chest.

"Have you ever thought about why the Tea Fairy specifically told you... to impose a special level of detention on me?" Shen Yi said: "Brother Spider, you just want to catch me? Isn't it too much?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
