Cang's words resounded in the ears of everyone who was communicating with him. His words were righteous and provocative, causing most of them to turn their gazes towards Tod and Yu's communication screen.
Meanwhile, Tod and Yu were both stunned. They looked at Cang in disbelief, who in fact chose to surrender, which was equivalent to betraying them, yet acted so righteously while denouncing them. They couldn't help but curse in their hearts. A traitor like you actually dared to criticize us? You even dare to put the blame on us?
Yu gritted his teeth and shouted hatefully: "Traitor, you're nothing but a traitor!"
"Traitor, no, I'm not." Cang shook his head and calmly said: "I only made the choice that I thought was right. I didn't betray you, nor did I leak any information or information about any of you. But I want to live on, live a better life than all of you."
"And my subordinates, my family, I also hope that they can live on, live a good life, and not pay the price of their innocent lives because of one or two hot-headed people."
"The reason why I contacted you at this time is because I hope that more of you can live on like me and not be used by others. Then, you can face an enemy that you don't understand at all. However, the Burning Legion isn't an enemy, I've never thought of them as an enemy. Just look at the other legions that are willing to cooperate with them, under the support of the Burning Legion, what will become of them in the future?"
"Finally, Legion Commander Xiao Ran of the Burning Legion said that as long as you are willing to surrender and fully cooperate, regardless of whether or not your legion will continue to exist in the future, he can promise you to preserve your current legion structure. Either you can continue to maintain the independence of the legion, or you can merge the entire legion into another legion."
"Just like my fleet, no matter what, that fleet will always belong to me."
"The only thing is that all of you must wait to be fully accepted. From now on, you will bear the label of the Burning Legion, and you will even be able to enjoy all the benefits that a member of the Burning Legion has."
Todd also found it hard to maintain his scholarly appearance as he said with a dark face, "What you said is baseless. What makes the Burning Legion think that we will admit defeat? What right does a legion that doesn't even dare to show up have to say such things to us?"
Cang smiled indifferently. "That's all I have to say. I've already said everything I need to say. It's meaningless for you to argue with me. As for whether the Berserk Virus is true or not, and whether it will be the last straw that breaks your back, you'll have to wait and see."
"Let me remind you one last time. General Xiao Ran doesn't have much patience. Anyway, the outcome of this battle has already been decided. Even if you can return alive in the end, there is no meaning. This is a battle where the winner gets everything. If you are smart, you should consider taking the initiative to surrender now. Maybe you can leave something for yourself. If you wait until the battle ends, I don't know if you will die or not."
"But I'm afraid you have nothing left. Those who have decided to surrender can now enter the Solar System and approach the moon. My fleet will be responsible for disarming you."
After saying that, Cang didn't care if the other party had anything else to say. He directly cut off the communication and returned to his chair.
In the bridge, a person walked up to Cang and asked worriedly, "Sir, will the Burning Legion really let us keep our current organization?"
Cang looked at his deputy and shook his head. "Don't worry. The Burning Legion wants to take us in, but they don't want to rob us, kill us, or make us poor. We have things that the Burning Legion might not be interested in. Even if they are interested in something, what's the harm in giving it to them? We will probably get more in the end."
"A truly great legion, a truly great leader will not suppress our growth. He doesn't need to suppress us to ensure his ruling power and leadership. On the contrary, the more people who are loyal to him, the stronger they will be. And in Prometheus's place, there is no change of leadership at all, so everyone can be more united around him."
"However, all of this is built on the foundation of loyalty, a loyalty that comes from the bottom of your heart. Prometheus' rules are an additional guarantee. Without loyalty, there is naturally nothing, understand? And this loyalty can also make you give up everything, understand?"
The deputy pondered for a moment, then nodded his head and didn't say anything else.
Cang glanced at his deputy and didn't say anything else. But in his mind, he was thinking about something else. "If you are not loyal, you will die. You will die sooner or later, and you will never be strong. If you want to live, you have to be loyal. Only by being loyal will you have more opportunities and get more things. This is not contradictory."
"At the very least, you have to be honest and become a member of the core circle, and live a peaceful life."
Cang was a smart person. From the moment he decided to join the Burning Legion, he understood that Prometheus's rules were always additional. Only by recognizing them from the heart would it be the most essential. Once a legion gathered together from the heart, it would be hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than a legion that was only limited by Prometheus's rules.
Not to mention, the Burning Legion was such a powerful legion. All of its power was in Xiao Ran's hands. Who would dare to oppose Xiao Ran? Not to mention, those big shots in the legion were loyal to Xiao Ran.
Just like now, Borsia was a typical legion that was tied together by rules. So he chose to surrender without hesitation. After all, he didn't betray them. Prometheus couldn't care less about him surrendering. But what if it was the Burning Legion? Surrendering was impossible. At the very least, they would have to fight to the death in a life-and-death battle.
Cang's communication was cut off. The other side was in a mess. More than four hundred S-class pilots and thousands of pseudo-S-class pilots. How were they going to fight?
The monsters that they had been fighting for days and nights were just biological weapons created by the Burning Legion after they entered the mission world?
Those things had taken away half of their power.
Virus? A virus that could make a person stronger and crazier, to the point of killing without regard for friend or foe. They didn't know who was infected, and they didn't even know how many people in their alliance were infected.
During the recovery and rescue, every ship had sent people out to bring back some things. Could you guarantee that you weren't infected, but could you guarantee that the people beside you weren't infected? Or could it be that the warships beside you weren't infected?
Once there was a problem, anyone around him could attack him. Who could suppress such suspicion? The entire Alliance fell into a chain of suspicion that could not be explained. The key was that the virus that Cang mentioned had been confirmed. Not long ago, there was an internal strife in the Alliance. Now that Cang's words made everything clear, wouldn't everything be clear?
Quarreling, endless quarreling. The enemy alliance had fallen into chaos. Many people did not say anything, but in their hearts, they were blaming Todd and Yu. They had stirred up trouble for no reason, and now they had stirred up something big. They had dragged themselves into this mess, and they had dragged so many people into it as well.
Cang didn't urge the other side to surrender, and neither did the Burning Legion. It didn't matter if the other side wanted to surrender or not. It didn't matter if the other side wanted to fight to the death. At most, they would just give the other side a song.
An hour passed. Five hours passed. Ten hours passed. Cruzet asked Meiyun to sing another song, and then the Valkyrie Squad sang another song.
Twelve hours later, another fleet left and headed for Earth. By this time, the enemy alliance had already broken apart. Even Todd and Zeus were no longer able to control the situation in the alliance. Twelve hours later, another fleet left and headed for Earth. By this time, the enemy alliance had already broken apart. Even Todd and Zeus were unable to control the situation in the alliance.
Attack those who chose to surrender? Tod and Yu didn't dare to do so. They didn't dare to block the only path of survival for those who chose to surrender. If they did so, they would definitely be attacked by their own people. Furthermore, Prometheus couldn't just stand by and watch people attack their own people. He had injured the Burning Legion and was glaring at them from the side.
What should they do? Now, Todd and Yu could only watch as the fleets around them left one by one. They didn't leave in the form of a legion, but instead, they left as independent fleets. They didn't know if this was because the other legions were giving them face, or if the internal structure of these legions had already started to become chaotic.
A path of certain death or a path of certain survival. These were the only choices in front of them. Some people might not be afraid of death, and they would have the courage to fight to the death on the battlefield. However, the situation here wasn't that simple. The chain of suspicion was even more terrifying than encountering a terrifying enemy that they couldn't resist. This fear came from their hearts, from themselves. They didn't know when they would be killed by the person in front of them.
It could be when they were sleeping, eating, or going to the toilet. Such an environment was simply oppressive to the extreme. If they couldn't think of a solution, they might just choose to commit suicide.
At this time, Xiao Ran had just arrived at the edge of the solar system, which was in the opposite direction of the enemy's fleet. The distance was far, but as long as a battle broke out, they could reach the battlefield within a minute. Therefore, it wasn't a particularly far distance.
After arriving at the solar system, Xiao Ran contacted Cang and Cruzet. After the two figures appeared on the screen, Xiao Ran directly asked, "How's the situation?"
Cruzet said, "How should I put it? Heh, it's a little beyond imagination. The other party is still quite resistant, but they haven't completely separated yet. Only less than half of the fleet has obediently headed to Earth."
"Do you need to give them a little more time?" Cruzet looked at the time and said, "After all, it's been less than 24 hours since Cang's announcement."
Xiao Ran looked at the other person, "Cang, tell them that we only gave them a total of three days. Almost a day has passed. Once the three days are up, we'll destroy the virus and start attacking them at the same time."
Cang stood up and nodded, "Okay, Commander Xiao Ran. I'll immediately inform them. Thank you, Commander Xiao Ran, for being willing to give more people a chance to live."
Xiao Ran waved his hand and said indifferently, "After all, these people may become the backbone of the Burning Legion in the future. Giving them a chance to choose is also giving the Burning Legion a chance."
"Commander Xiao Ran, you're too kind."
After disconnecting the call, Xiao Ran looked at Mary beside him and said with a little surprise, "Why didn't I realize that this guy was so good at flattery?"
Mary smiled at the side, "Isn't that because you scared him? Now, the lives of his entire fleet and many more people are in your hands. If he doesn't make you happy, he'll be worried that he won't have a good life in the future. Moreover, after what he did, the people of the previous legion will definitely not accept him. The only choice is to completely surrender to us."
Xiao Ran nodded, "So this guy's brain is still clear. If he completely offends one side, he'll have to completely surrender to the other side."
Cang gave the final notice according to Xiao Ran's instructions. One-third of the three days had passed. Although there were still about two more days, because of this notice, more people could not sit still and began to approach the moon.
After approaching the moon, the first thing these fleets had to do was to disarm, eject all the bodies and turn off the main energy source. Since they were surrendering, they should act like they were surrendering. If they refused to disarm and ran towards the moon, who knew what their real purpose was? Cang would not take action in this situation, but the Burning Legion would directly destroy such warships.
Fortunately, such a thing had not happened so far. The warships that came over did not dare to do anything.
In these fleets, there were also people from the Borsia Legion. Just like Cang's fleet, they were all sub-legions under the Borsia Legion. Even on the Borsia side, there were people who chose to surrender. Now, the enemy alliance was unable to reverse the situation. The only one who was more stubborn was the Enlightenment Legion. Until now, there was no response. No one knew if they were prepared to wait until the end to fight the Burning Legion.
Three days passed quickly. There were very few people left in the enemy alliance who were still stubbornly resisting. From the original half to one-third of the remaining half. Most of the strength belonged to the Enlightenment Legion. The Borsia Legion had completely fallen apart and was completely unreliable.
After these three days, the Burning Legion's battleships suddenly appeared one after another. Hundreds of S-rank pilots and thousands of pseudo-S-rank pilots also appeared before the eyes of everyone in the enemy alliance.
But … not a single battleship approached, nor did a single class mech approach. Instead, under a unified command, they directly activated a warp jump to a very distant location, ensuring the stability of the ship to the extreme in order to prevent the ship from capsizing in the gutter. Thus, the over-the-horizon strike began.
