"General, I've followed you for many years. I've always been loyal to the Lie Family. Even if I don't have any meritorious service, I've worked hard for you. Please consider that I've been following you for so long …" Renduo didn't refute and immediately begged Lie Jingtian for mercy.
All the generals in the meeting room looked gloomy.
"Drag him out!" Lie Jingtian waved his hand. "I will leave your body intact. As a soldier, you should die with dignity!"
The METAL soldiers immediately dragged Renduo out of the meeting room. Incompetence was a grave sin, and humans had no more bargaining chips to make mistakes.
Lie Jingtian's expression was calm, but his cold eyes swept across the crowd. None of the Martian generals dared to look at him directly. They could feel the anger in his heart. Even if the Zergs had the upper hand in the battle, they would not be in such a passive position if they could respond in time.
"Everyone, think of a countermeasure. The retreat is only temporary. We must stop the Zergs' attack!"
Lie Jingtian looked at the crowd. A war was not a war that could be won by one or two people, even for someone as powerful as him. It was necessary to preserve their strength, but they could not completely abandon the front line. Otherwise, they would not even have a chance to fight back. The Zergs were not humans, and some of the tactics that humans used in internal wars might not work well against the Zergs.
"The dark race is not the protoss. Most of the humans will be killed by them, and only a small part of them will be kept as food. We can't retreat anymore. I suggest we launch a counterattack at the third front line!"
Qin Ying, the commander of the third group, said. Everyone was aware of the current situation, but they had no other choice. In the face of absolute strength, a decisive battle was necessary. However, the Zergs were the main force, and humans could choose a suitable location for the decisive battle.
They had to make good use of the right time and the right place. Then, they had to boost their morale and fight with all their might. It could be said that the outcome of this battle would determine the fate of Mars, and even the fate of the entire human race.
"Commander Qin, what should we do if we lose this battle?" The commander of the fifth group asked.
If the main force of the Zergs collapsed, it would be almost impossible for them to recreate the situation.
Once the main force collapsed, the main force of the Zergs would march straight into the city. The small number of soldiers in the city would not be able to resist the main force, not to mention that most humans did not have the ability to fight.
However, it was precisely because of this that everyone was a little worried at this time. After all, this kind of decisive battle was not what humans wanted.
Within the Martian Federation, there were two viewpoints. The first was to stall for time. This was something that everyone agreed on. However, there was no consensus on whether they should immediately launch an all-out counterattack at the third line of defense, which was the last line of defense for the human race, or retreat to the rear and fight the enemy.
Obviously, the latter was the safer option. However, if the defense line was lost, the cities behind the humans would be completely exposed to the Zergs' attacks. Perhaps they would be able to divert a lot of manpower, but what about the humans?
"Fight! Launch a counterattack at the third line of defense!" Lie Jingtian's words were concise and to the point. As the head of the Lie family and the strongest warrior on Mars, Lie Jingtian still had the courage to say such words. Once the Zerg army reached the planet, the human race would have no chance of turning the tables.
"Don't worry, everyone. As long as we hold on and buy some time, we will immediately obtain a strategic victory!"
Lie Jian smiled faintly. In such an occasion, even Lie Jingtian's son had to have the courage to laugh.
Lie Jingtian didn't say a word. He knew his son very well, and he knew that if Lie Jian didn't have a good enough reason, he wouldn't let him off easily.
"I have good news for you all. We have solved the technical problem of mass-producing the GN Crystal Guns. The first batch of GN Crystal Guns is in full production. In half a month's time, the human race's combat power will be greatly improved!"
Lie Jian dropped a bombshell on the generals. The mass production of the GN Crystal Gun would increase the size of the human army by several times. All they needed to do was to recruit soldiers from all the cities, and they would be able to recruit as many soldiers as they needed.
"Major General Lie Jian, is the technology reliable?"
The more it was at a time like this, the more cautious everyone was. They absolutely could not hope to quench their thirst.
"Absolutely reliable. It has been tested, and it was Wang Tong who made it."
"Wang Tong?"
The name sounded familiar, but no one could remember where they had heard it before. Most of the generals in the room had been on the frontline for a long time, so they were not from the same era as Lie Jian. Most of them had been watching the battles of the younger generation for the past five years, so no one had ever thought of such a young man.
However, the Armed Forces Tournament back then was indeed too popular. Someone finally remembered it.
"Is he the descendant of the Blade Warrior who defeated Patroclus?" Qin Ying asked.
"Yes, he is. The descendant of the Blade Warrior is back. He was the one who invented the GN Crystal Guns."
Lie Jian did not want to use the name of the Blade Warrior to boost his confidence as a general, but he knew that the production of the GN Crystal Guns and the mobilization of the soldiers would take some time. They had to defend the city, no matter the cost. Once the GN Crystal Guns appeared, the humans would be able to stabilize the situation. The advantage of the original Zergs in numbers would be negligible in the face of the GN Crystal Guns.
At this time, everyone had to hold on to the idea of absolute trust, to truly quench their thirst by looking at plum blossoms!
Morale. For warriors, it was a battle for freedom. Faith could boost their morale. But for these generals who controlled the overall situation, where did their own faith come from?
They needed a reliable bargaining chip. With such a bargaining chip, even the generals who advocated for retreat would not hesitate to fight to the death. If the Zergs managed to invade the human's rear, the production of the GN Force Crystal Guns would be greatly affected. Moreover, if the Zergs were to invade the human's rear, where would they find more soldiers?
Everyone looked at each other, and before they knew it, they had already reached a consensus.
At the third thread, they had to fight the Zergs to the death!
Lie Jingtian's eyes flashed with a hint of approval. At a time like this, there was no room for half-heartedness. Although Lie Jingtian's position was unquestionable, it was still possible for him to be subservient. Passively accepting orders and wholeheartedly carrying them out were two completely different things. Under such a disadvantageous situation, everyone had to unleash their strongest willpower and strength in order to win this crucial battle.
In order for everyone to achieve the same result, Lie Jingtian's power alone was not enough. Lie Jian's trump card gave everyone a reason to give it their all.
The General of the North, Xie Su, was furious. Although he didn't lose his temper, he couldn't believe that something like this had happened to his territory when the Zerg army was unstoppable!
Inexplicably, two cities had been wiped out!
The enemy was even more ruthless than they had been. The two cities had been turned into ruins, and even the Queen Zergs had been killed.
Two cities meant two nests for the Zergs, which meant that they would not be able to supply more than a hundred thousand prototype Zergs. Most importantly, they hadn't even found the shadow of the culprit yet.
The enemy was ruthless, disappearing as soon as the battle was over. Xie Su was waiting for more information, but he knew that this was not the work of a single person. This was a human army that had penetrated deep into their territory, and they couldn't afford to let them live.
Xie Su was furious, but he knew that he could not afford to be distracted for too long. These were just clowns, and he believed that they would be dealt with quickly. The humans were about to fight to the death, and the Dark King had already given the order to annihilate the humans. The Four Great Generals were mobilizing their troops to prepare for a decisive battle with the humans. More Zergs were arriving at the battlefield. The Zergs had already pushed the humans to the third level, but they did not rush to attack. When they realized that the humans were about to start a decisive battle, they slowed down their advance and formed a standoff with the humans. At the same time, more Zergs were pouring in from the rear. The Zergs were not afraid of the humans attacking them, and as long as the humans were willing to fight them to the death, they would be able to maximize their advantage in numbers. Once this wave of human forces was eliminated, Mars would fall into the hands of the Dark Ones.
Meanwhile, Wang Tong and his team had set up camp in the middle of the jungle, enjoying a rare moment of rest. The Battle Wolves didn't rest after they had wiped out Danube City. Instead, they spent the entire night sweeping through Kazakh City. Kazakh City was just a small city, so it was easily wiped out by the Battle Wolves. Unfortunately, the dark ones weren't vigilant. Over the past five years, the Battle Wolves had been harassed by the Zergs, but in the last two years, the dark ones had been focused on strengthening the dark ones. Although the Zergs had successfully transformed into the dark ones, they were still not as fast as the Immortals. Although the birth of the Zergs was also a part of the evolution process, it wasn't as fast as the birth of the dark ones. Therefore, the dark ones had been deeply ingrained in the dark ones' minds. They had been researching how to increase the number of Zergs, but even the most evolved Zergs in the universe needed a lot of time to solve this problem.
If it were any other race, it would take tens of thousands of years to achieve such a feat. The Zergs' speed of evolution could only be described as miraculous.
Back in the camp, the soldiers had fallen asleep, and Wang Tong and the other officers were discussing the next step of the plan.
Just as Wang Tong had predicted, the dark ones were slacking off after taking down two cities in a row. For a long time, the humans had been afraid of the dark ones because they thought that the Zergs were too powerful, and attacking them would be suicidal. However, the Battle Wolf had shown that the dark ones were even more relaxed than the humans, and their arrogance was growing in their minds.
