"Yi Qianli?! Are you looking to die, you bastard!"
Before General Han could speak, his deputy was already furious. General Han was a Monarch Realm expert, while Yi Qianli was merely at the mid-stage of the Divine Lord Realm, not even as strong as himself. Wasn't this courting death?
"Oh, Roco, you're still so feisty even when death is at your doorstep. I'm actually looking forward to seeing you beg me for help later." Hearing the deputy's words, Yi Qianli showed no anger, even wearing a smile.
"Idiot!" General Han cursed under his breath. This was precisely the situation they feared most on the battlefield. It not only indirectly informed their enemies of internal disunity but also demoralized their own soldiers.
If they had to cooperate in battle later, his soldiers would still be apprehensive, fearing these individuals might turn against them.
Moreover, this fellow didn't understand that he himself had been betrayed by his superiors, yet he still acted as if he were a savior, maintaining an arrogant demeanor.
"General, what should we do now? If this continues, the remaining people won't last much longer."
Deputy Roco was also anxious. He thought reinforcements had arrived, only to find an imbecile. It was just over his betrothed, and he held a grudge for over ten thousand years? That was incredibly petty!
"We probably won't be waiting for other reinforcements. Raise the flag. I hope our actions don't anger the Allied Forces, or they might vent their anger on our planet Kadu." General Han looked at the remaining less than forty percent of his soldiers, his eyes filled with desolation.
He never expected his superiors to send this kind of soldier to support him, let alone that the commander of this contingent had a personal grievance with him.
"General, there's nothing we can do. If we don't make this decision, and these people occupy our planet, Kadu Star might suffer even more."
"Besides, Kadu Star has always been marginalized in the star domain. Those guys not only tried every means to strip us of our resources, but this time they directly pushed us to the front lines to be their stepping stone!"
Roco almost roared, and at the same time, his true qi surged, shooting towards the sky ten thousand meters above.
*Bang...*
A flag over a hundred meters long unfurled violently in the sky. In its center was a handshake, commonly used in social etiquette, its meaning self-evident.
"Damn it! Han Yicheng, you... you're surrendering?" Yi Qianli stared blankly at the pattern in the sky, completely beside himself!
"With your brain, I can only scoff!" Roco looked at the gradually stopping 'monsters', then turned to mock Yi Qianli.
Their surrender meant Yi Qianli and his soldiers would become the new target.
"Since you surrender, lay down your arms and be captured." Zhou Ningdong's voice emanated from a combat robot. With a wave of his hand, other robots began escorting the remaining nearly two million soldiers towards the Han Kong Warships, paying no mind to Yi Qianli, who was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
"General, since we have surrendered, what about those soldiers..."
Roco pointed in Yi Qianli's direction and asked the robot, who had just spoken for Zhou Ningdong, with confusion.
Since they had surrendered, there was no reason to let Yi Qianli and the Allied Forces have an easy time. They had schemed to extract benefits from him before, and now they had ambushed and killed most of the elite soldiers of Kadu Star. Not to retaliate a few times now would be a disservice to his conscience.
He was unaware that the robots escorting them were merely intelligent products, machines incapable of anything but killing, possessing no life.
"Them? Not a single one will escape." At this moment, the robot spoke again, but its voice had changed, startling Roco and Han Yicheng.
Not a single one will escape?
And the voice could change? What kind of monsters were these?
Immortal, capable of shape-shifting and voice alteration, with combat power comparable to Divine Lords. How could they be so monstrous?
"Phew, thankfully they didn't notice us. Deputy, turn back immediately to the main camp, and simultaneously inform headquarters that Kadu Star's commander Han Yicheng has led his troops in rebellion." Yi Qianli breathed a sigh of relief, watching Han Yicheng and his soldiers being escorted away.
Just as Yi Qianli was about to lead his one hundred million soldiers in an escape, he vaguely sensed something and looked towards the depths of the universe.
"General, what is that?" A deputy at the early stage of the Divine Lord Realm pointed at a bright light in the depths of the universe, looking perplexed.
As Divine Lords, their spiritual sense could cover more than half of the star domain. Thus, the Han Kong Warships were entirely within their spiritual sense. However, their spiritual sense could not penetrate the interior of the Han Kong Warships, and lacking knowledge of technological products, they had never understood what this colossal entity was.
If their spiritual sense could penetrate it and witness the twelve thousand Monarch Realm powerhouses waiting in readiness, they likely wouldn't even have the thought of escaping.
"It looks like a giant black tube. There seems to be explosive energy gathering inside the black tube?" Although they were only tens of thousands of kilometers away, and his spiritual sense could fully cover it, for some reason, the closer he got to this colossal entity, the more blurry it became.
"General, why do I feel like something is not right? You said those monsters, numbering only five hundred thousand, captured Han Yicheng and the others. But it doesn't make sense for them to let us go. Could it be that they've shown mercy?"
The deputy's words echoed Yi Qianli's own question. He didn't believe the other party was showing mercy, as the word 'mercy' simply didn't exist in the world of cultivators.
The distant point of light grew brighter and brighter, within moments becoming like a great sun, illuminating that entire area.
"Go, hurry!" Such powerful energy fluctuations filled Yi Qianli with an inexplicable sense of unease. As the energy grew stronger, his unease intensified.
"Go! Stop forming ranks, all of you, flee for your lives!" By the end, he was even shouting directly.
However...
*Whoosh...*
A beam of intense light, exceeding ten meters in diameter, struck before they could react to Yi Qianli's roar. They felt their consciousness completely plunge into darkness.
*Bang...*
In the horrified eyes of Han Yicheng and their surviving subordinates, that beam of light transcended their spiritual sense's capture and exploded directly within Yi Qianli's legion. The immense energy brought forth boundless light. Even from tens of thousands of kilometers away, they could feel its destructive power.
"The... the one hundred million soldiers are gone?" Roco stammered, looking at the site of the explosion.
A hundred million Moon Realm cultivators, even Yi Qianli at the Divine Lord Realm, couldn't escape. All of them had turned into nothingness. Moreover, the violent energy hadn't even dissipated, leaving behind a small nebula at the site.
Their backs were drenched in sweat. They knew that the group of monsters surrounding them had emerged from the colossal entity that had just fired the light beam. If that same attack had been directed at their legion just now, they too would have likely turned into nothingness.
