These people had no choice but to act this way. They trembled with fear as if they were treading on thin ice, because the person standing in front of them was a king who had defeated Skynet's four-million-strong army within three months! They would never have imagined that Tang Yu, who had been amiably negotiating with them, would actually have such a terrifying military force!
If they had felt that Tang Yu's defeat of Skynet's attack was due to luck, now they only felt fear towards the powerful military force in Tang Yu's hands!
Could there be treasures hidden in the iron mines and the Terminator wreckage that we traded? Richard even thought of it in a very ridiculous way.
On the other side, Kristina, Jane Connor, Carra Ladames, Chen Fei, Frans, and the others who participated in the battle were also sitting in their seats. Schwarzenegger was also here. Although he had destroyed the governor's system when John Connor II was defeated in order to cover the retreat, he came back very easily from the battlefield.
Looking at the radiant Tang Yu standing on the stage, Carra Ladames' body trembled slightly. She murmured, "Yes, that's it … My King … My Eternal King …"
Kristina looked at her and suddenly said in a low voice, "This is the first time I've seen a woman have a physiological reaction that makes her pants wet in such an occasion."
"Eh? What reaction? "Frans's ears were sharp and still heard it. She turned around and looked at Kristina curiously.
"It means she's sweating." Jane Connor grabbed Frans and threw her to the other side. Even with Frans' strength, she couldn't resist it!
Tang Yu did not notice the little movements on this side. He remained silent as he looked at the few people below the stage until they were scared out of their wits and trembled. Only then did he slowly ask Li Zhi, "Where's Eriksson?"
Li Zhi lowered his head and replied respectfully, "Leader Eriksson suddenly had a fever and couldn't come. In order to express his sincerity, he asked me to bring his daughter here. We can represent the head of state. "
"You've made two mistakes, Li Zhi." Tang Yu looked at him with a faint smile. "First, he has no right to call himself Princeps. Secondly, if they didn't come, then they didn't come. There's no question of representation. "
"But, it's really because …" Li Zhi still wanted to argue, but Tang Yu waved his hand to stop him from continuing.
"If you really want to represent him, it's not impossible. For I am about to arrest him and sentence him to death for treason, collaboration with the enemy, inactivity in combat, and delay in battle. Since you are acting as Eriksson's representative, do you accept this verdict? "Tang Yu asked indifferently.
"No! This was unfair! You have no right to judge him! "Li Zhi said loudly.
Tang Yu didn't mind Li Zhi's rebuttal. He looked at Li Zhi and said, "You see, I knew you guys couldn't represent him. So, it's better to ask him to come here in person, isn't it? "
Following Tang Yu's words, a loud roar of an engine suddenly came from above the conference hall! Following that, the ceiling of the conference hall opened up. The people discovered that the engine sound came from the BNK-3R that was hovering in the air! The huge body of the Sky Fortress once again shocked everyone, especially Ruan Qingshui. This was the first time he saw the invincible Sky Fortress with his own eyes, and at such a close distance at that!
Following that, a hanging basket hung down from below the BNK-3R. Standing in the basket was Elisa. She glanced at Li Zhi expressionlessly, grabbed a person from the basket, and threw him in front of him. It was Eriksson!!
"Father!!" Eriksson's daughter immediately cried out in alarm. She rushed up and hugged her father. The previously high-spirited Eriksson was now covered with cuts and bruises. His wrists were tied with thick hemp ropes. As he was directly suspended in the air from the hanging basket, he was so cold that he had curled up into a ball and shivered. His hair and eyebrows were even covered with a layer of frost!
"You … How can you treat my father like this!!" His daughter stood at the bottom of the stairs, pointed at Tang Yu, and shouted.
"Instead of that, you should first ask him how he is going to explain to the hundreds of thousands of Rebel forces who died unjustly on the battlefield because of him!!" A majestic voice came from behind. An imposing burly man walked out from the entrance of the conference hall.
Li Zhi's face turned pale when he turned around and saw the man! Because this man was John Connor No. 1, who was under house arrest!!
John Connor No. 1 walked up to Eriksson, looked down at him, and said, "When you launched the mutiny, I had many ways to stop you, and even more ways to escape. But I didn't. Because I thought that perhaps you represented the will of the people, or perhaps I had lost the will of the people. I was not suitable to continue leading you. So, I chose to stay and be imprisoned by you. Then, I faced the wall and reflected on my gains and losses all this while. "
Eriksson was still shivering all over. He had not recovered from the cold wind that blew against him for the past few hours. John Connor No. 1 took off his coat, revealing the sturdy muscles on his body that were covered in scars. He then placed the coat on Eriksson. Eriksson gripped the coat tightly as if it was his savior and shrunk even tighter.
"But you have disappointed me, Eriksson. It is obvious that you are far more interested in internal strife than in leading everyone to resist Skynet and fight for freedom! If it was in the past that we did not trust Tang Yu because he had not shown us the strength to convince us, then when he repeatedly besieged and annihilated Skynet's troops, you actually chose to fight passively and did not move forward! You actually chose to be a burden!! "John Connor No. 1's voice gradually became stern.
"I … I'm sorry … I'm sorry …" Eriksson said as he cowered.
"If it wasn't for your passive fighting, the Salvation Army would not have been defeated so quickly! As long as they could hold the frontline for a month at most, Tang Yu's army would have marched south, and Ruan Qingshui's Southwest Army Group would have been attacked from both front and back! But because of you! Xu Deng and Rhine made up their minds to betray humanity when the defensive line was breached. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died because of this! " John Connor No. 1's voice grew louder and louder. The more he spoke, the more agitated he became. Finally, he kicked Eriksson in the stomach!
Bam!! Eriksson slid back seven to eight meters on the slippery ground. He could not help but groan.
"In three days, Eriksson, Xu Deng, and Rhine will be put on trial. The charges have been confirmed, and the sentence is death. But we still need to let the people see the fate of the traitors. Now, Eliza, leave these convicts alone. And this woman and Li Zhi, I don't want to see them, "Tang Yu said coldly.
"No! No! Sir! Please spare my father!! I'll do anything you want me to do! "Eriksson's daughter rushed at Tang Yu and shouted. However, Elisa was faster. She grabbed the back of the woman's neck and threw her out of the door!
Then, Tang Yu turned to look at Ruan Qingshui who had been watching coldly from the side. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, General Ruan Qingshui."
"It's true. I don't feel the slightest sense of accomplishment defeating such an opponent. But I don't feel the slightest regret losing to you. You're the winner, Tang Yu. Please accept the surrender and allegiance of all the human soldiers of the Southwest Army Group, a total of 889,000, "Ruan Qingshui went down on one knee before Tang Yu and handed over a document.
"There's no need for allegiance. Focus on farming, working, and reforming. Atone for the sins of the humans who died in your hands, "Tang Yu said condescendingly.
Ruan Qingshui lowered his head deeply.
"Hahahahaha!!" Tang Yu laughed loudly. He walked down the stairs and bypassed Ruan Qingshui as if he was invisible. He went up to John - Connor No. 1 and firmly grasped his hand. Then, he went up to John - Connor No. 2 and Madam Megan. He said loudly, "Then today is the day! We humans shall unite as one again! We shall unite as one and fight against Skynet!! This will be the decisive battle that will change the fate of mankind!! "
