15. After-the-fact mercy

There are mines on the ground, I don't know what they do, maybe they just explode, or they can trap people, and it is difficult to see clearly in the dark night. At the same time, I noticed that their soldiers wore infrared goggles, so that invisibility was useless.

I entered the shadows and noticed that they were each stationed, at least thirty people, in defensive formation, hiding with the help of cover. I bypassed the mines, infiltrated them, and cast dark clouds, and I killed them all without a word.

I said, "Loman, sixty, have you changed your mind?" ”

Loman did not respond, maybe he changed the radio channel, or simply turned off the radio?

They were all gathered in one place, in an open square, and the terrain was so open that if I wanted to get near them, I would have to brave the fire of the artillery for a long distance, and there were undoubtedly many traps on the ground.

I climbed on a Ferris wheel and looked into the distance, and saw Loman in a black overcoat and military hat with a low brim, standing straight like a Newtonian rocket about to be launched, and about a hundred of his men were hiding behind cover, aiming at the pathway, and others looking upward. They were still talking about something.

Behind the square was a tall castle, perhaps a playground facility.

I walked towards them from the front.

They immediately noticed me, and stopped talking, their expressions surprised and solemn, except for Loman, who remained resolute and unchanging, and the soldiers tried to shoot, but Loman stopped them.

It was getting darker, the clouds were obscuring the starlight, the wind was strong in the square, and I continued to walk forward.

Loman shouted, "Stop there! ”

I said, "Yes, but did you accept my offer?" I can forget the blood you shed for my people, but again, my terms cannot be violated. ”

Loman: "I have only one response to your proposal: go grass your horse!" He said this solemnly, and the soldiers laughed loudly, showing that he was the kind of leader who was feared and loved.

I said, "I'm going to make your life much better than you are now!" You don't have to hide in the crowded underground, you will have clean water and good food that you have never eaten before! And, now that you move, everyone can get a house! Gratis! And it's radiation proof! If you have a house, you will have a wife! You can sleep with your wife in your arms! Latecomers don't have this kind of offer! First come, first served, no regrets. You know, the house of the future crying is very valuable. ”

Of course, I will not fulfill this promise, because as the ruler of the city, I have had enough of the high welfare, and I will let them live in the lower classes, working hard to have food and clothing, but now I am trying to persuade me to surrender, and I have to carry forward a secret technique called pyramid schemes in ancient times. I will give them hope, and that hope is the panacea that will break their morale.

Loman: To hell with your house! ”

I said again, "Don't toast and don't eat!" You don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family! You have a shelter down there, right? In the shelter, there are also wives and children, parents and parents! ”

Loman exclaimed, "What do you mean by that?" ”

I said, "If you don't lay down your arms at once, open your doors and surrender, and after I kill you, your relatives will all live in poverty and suffering!" Do you want your son to be in prison for the rest of his life? Do you want your wife and daughter to be sold to a brothel? Do you want your parents to starve to death in a hospital bed? ”

Again, I'm just talking about intimidation, and I wouldn't go so extreme. But if you don't say anything, it won't play a role in intimidation. I'm so tired of singing white and black face alone, I should take Lamia with me, as soon as they see the beauty, maybe they will change our opinion of us, and even surrender on the spot, the humility of those young licking dogs is simply incredible. It's really heart-wrenching to say, and my cry doesn't even have a young licking dog.

No, I was wrong, licking dogs regardless of age, as long as you put your mind to it, everyone can be a licking dog.

Maybe it's better to let Soles, preferably wear a bikini, like 2B, I thought that anyone who dressed like that to go to the battlefield was looking for death, but now I finally appreciate the rigor of the game's design.

My words had an effect, and they began to waver, and their eyes shifted from me to Loman, intent on asking for his opinion.

One of the adjutant said, "His weapons are very advanced, maybe there are other reinforcements, is it a message to the president?" ”

Loman shot the adjutant with a single shot, unmoved as if he had stepped on an ant, and exclaimed, "We will never surrender, let alone be deceived!" Fire! ”

Suddenly, bullets, shells, grenades, missiles, and laser rays came at me.

I jumped in the air and slashed at my back, sending a torrent that sent me to an instant faster, and when I was about ten meters away from them, I turned and slashed out at the godslayer. The huge momentum caused the sword to fall from the sky like a lava demon, and there was a loud bang, accompanied by a scream, many people broke bones and tendons, and stumps and arms flew all over the sky.

I'd love to tell them I'm sorry, but that's war.

A voice in my heart asked, "But this is a war of aggression, what is the difference between it and the Sun King?" You're not even as good as the Sun King! At least the one devoured by the Sun King is still "alive"!

The saint has said that he has long since transcended good and evil, so I should do the same, and once things have crossed the line, I can no longer hesitate.

The voice continued: "Of course you can hesitate, think of Yao Chi, the benevolent are more loved than the cruel! ”

The struggle for power is a struggle for survival, and there is no room for mercy. Consider the sins committed by the Europeans during the colonization of the Americas, after which they established a hegemony that called itself the beacon of human civilization, covering up the evils and mocking the barbarism of the rest of the peoples.

They attacked and slaughtered the weak and disobedient.

They still claim to be beacons.

So, gentleness and appeasement, that's later.

In the smoke and dust, the ground was full of misery, and rivers of blood flowed, and I saw that Loman was dead. Unfortunately, I would like to talk to him a little more and tell him about the current death toll.

A soldier struggled to get up and got his gun, I hit him on the head with the butt of the gun, he fainted, and the rest of the people tried to resist in a trance, but I solved it in the same way.

Now that I've already killed them, I don't mind killing them all, but I didn't.

What a half-guy.

Their refuge is underground, as are the relatives of these soldiers who are sworn to defend to the death.

It's almost dawn.

I put on my headphones and said to Soles, "Come in and watch the captives for me." ”

Soles and the others occupy a stone house near the square, which keeps an eye on the castle. The Rangers tied up the captives and took their guns. The enemy should not dare to bombard with heavy weapons.

Solace said, "Do you want to heal their wounds?" Some are dying. ”

If there were only Rangers here, I would let them end the suffering of the Dying, but there are still children, my apprentices.

I said, "They can't escape, treat them." ”

Carla said, "Dad, you have to ask for some fame, know yourself and your opponent, and win all battles!" ”

I saw a man with a high rank on his shoulder, and he woke him up, and he wailed and said, "Spare me!" ”

I said, "Where did you get so many weapons?" ”

The soldier said, "I.... We are the army .... Army. ”

"Team America?"

"Yes, our ancestors were companies of American infantry," the soldier said. ”

Solace frowned, "No wonder it's so difficult to deal with. ”

I said, "The pain caused by war will make people cherish peace, do you think your president will agree to negotiate now?" ”

Soles looked out of the room, her expression not optimistic.

The soldier shouted: "God, how will I know? We still have nuclear-powered armor that we haven't used. ”

Now it was my turn to be nervous, I thought the next situation would be smooth, but I didn't expect it to happen.

"Nuclear-powered armor?"

The soldier said, "Yes, but that thing is a failure, there is radiation in it, and only the Red Soul Group can wear it." ”

I said, "Red Soul Group.... What the hell? ”

Soldier: "They're all ... There are only two people, both of whom are said to have demonic blood, a father and son, who directly obey the president. ”

Nefarem.

I asked, "Why didn't they go out before?" ”

"It's very radiant and it's too powerful, so it's usually just deployed alone," the soldier said. ”

I immediately decided, "Tell me where it is." ”

The soldier trembled, "No, that's top secret, and I don't know...."

That so-called president must have been on the war situation, he is not a tough soldier, will he be willing to accept surrender?

I asked, "How do I contact him?" ”

The soldier said, "General Loman has a special line to contact the president, but only Loman has the password." ”

I grabbed the soldier: "Where's that communication device?" ”

It's on the other side of the square, and there's a low office building tucked away in a small courtyard with a whole set of facilities. I walked over to the facility and asked for Laca to help crack it, and shortly after, Laca said, "I hacked into the system. ”

I said into the microphone, "I'm the outsider Longinus, Your Excellency the President, please reply." ”

After a few moments, a gentle voice said, "You have brought us a heavy wound, Lord Longinus. ”

I said, "If possible, I will make amends for my mistakes by deeds, but I want you to surrender and move with me to my city." ”

The president said, "I have something to say, you showed up tonight, killed two hundred of our soldiers, and then demanded that we abandon my homeland and move to a strange land?" Those soldiers .... It's our relatives, it's our children, many of whom are under the age of eighteen! ”

I said, "That's how the European colonists treated the Indians, even more cruelly than I did, but the descendants of the colonists were very satisfied with it, and even had no guilt." ”

The president snapped: "So, you're going to slaughter us all, just as the Germans did with the Jews?" ”

The president was a man of erudition, at least a good study of history.

I said, "I wouldn't have made this decision unless I had to, and I would have made it possible for most of you to live well, and better than you are now!" I don't believe you haven't thought about leaving this underground cavern that doesn't see the light of day and giving up your life as a caveman. ”

The president said, "No, forgive me, give up." ”

I said, "There are about twenty soldiers alive, and I think their lives mean a lot to you, right?" ”

The president was emotional, choked up and said, "We will fight to the end." ”
