Chương 906: 906 Everyone has a weak point

While Zhu Huang looked around the area they were about to step into, two more military personnel, both division leaders, walked toward him. But unlike the military general, there were traces of doubts in their eyes, along with some amount of nervousness.

"Sir, is this really ok?" One of them asked.

"Hmmm…" The general did not reply anything to him.

"What if he returns-" The other one started, but he was quickly cut short.

"There is no chance of that happening. You saw the whole thing yourself. There should be at least ten thousand vampires in that horde. They are capable of destroying whole cities. How could they be so easy to deal with?"

"We won't get a better chance than this. Even if he is all-powerful, he is just one person. He is most probably still dealing with them or maybe just dead from the attack."

Zhu Huang then paused as if he was thinking deeply about something.

"Right, he has that beast. Maybe he is alive. But even if he is still alive, he should be heavily injured."

"Sir, that is exactly what we are trying to say. As long as that person is alive-" The division leader started.

"Fool. You still don't understand. Do you know why exactly I am doing this? Hmm?" Zhu Huang cleared his throat.

"I am not sure what is running in your heads, but I am not here trying to take over Crimson Abyss or wage a war against their guild."

Huh? The two division leaders looked at each other in astonishment. Then why else were they here?

"I am just here to take some hostages." Zhu Huang grinned.

This made the two even more shocked. This was the first time they were listening to the full plan of their leader.

Everything had been packed and moved in such a hurry that they really did not stop to think or ask why. They had been simply following their orders.

Their general had successfully led their group until now, so they had their full faith and trust in him. Despite that, at this moment, they couldn't help but question him. After all, they were standing at the mouth of a lion's cave.

"Listen carefully." Zhu Huang explained.

"We might be strong. We might have a lot of firepower and powerful military weapons, but that kid Liam is an extraordinary fighter."

"He is clearly more experienced in this new world. I do not care about this guild or these people. This entire guild is worthless without him. But… they are useful for one thing."

"Everyone has a weak point, and Liam's weak point is this guild. As long as we manage to use this opportunity and take this whole guild hostage, I believe we can convince him to join us."

"Well, we would be joining them, but what's the difference? In the end, we would be the ones in charge, and we would be able to control him."

"He might be powerful, but as long as we control him, we will be the ones at the top. Do you understand now?"

"Yes… Yes, Sir!" The two division leaders answered in unison.

"Hmmm… Don't worry. I will never act rashly. Everything I do always has a reason behind it."

"Yes, Sir."

"Ok. That's enough now. We have already wasted a lot of time. Let's start our work." Zhu Huang grunted and started walking back to the armored vehicle.

The two division leaders as well hurried back to their positions. Now that they had listened to the full explanation from the general himself, they were far more confident in their demeanor.

They felt ashamed that they had even questioned him in the first place. Naturally, there might be many casualties in this venture of theirs, mainly civilians, but that was unavoidable in a state of war.

Sometimes, a few casualties are required for the greater good, and especially in a world like this, they were not naive enough to think that they could save everyone.

So even if they were the military whose purpose was to serve the nation and its people, for now, they had to do this.

A few seconds later, the general gave the signal, and then the division leaders gave their signals to their respective divisions. Just like that, the entire military base started moving.

They stealthily entered the Crimson Abyss guild premises, sending men in all directions. They planned to use the buildings and the wilderness to hide their presence.

Their intention was to completely surround the area and take in as many hostages as possible in the shortest time, especially the civilians.

This might be a hit below the belt, but only by using these weak and helpless civilians could they avoid a bigger massacre and a full-fledged war.

"GO! FAST!"

"LET'S MOVE!"

"VICTORY SHOULD BE OURS!"

"LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE!"

"LONG LIVE OUR PROSPEROUS NATION!"

Zhu Huang shouted. This was his version of a short rousing speech, and it made all the military men's blood boil.

Everyone quickly started to disperse with vigor and determination. They were doing this for their country. This would be their first step in retaking their nation and bringing the glorious government back. They had to win at all costs!

Zhu Huang's eyes shone with pride and arrogance as he watched his men fly. He as well cracked his neck and clenched his fists as he prepared to enter the battlefield personally.

Unlike the other useless military leaders he had come across in his life, he was not a leader for simply namesake. He actually led by example, putting his life on the line as well. So naturally, he was also going to participate in this battle.

Hrmm! He grunted and cleared his throat as he and his personal troops finally made their move.

However, he had only barely taken a step forward when a voice sounded behind him.

"He He He. Where are you off to in such a hurry? Do you need some directions?"
