Chapter 1162: Scheme (I)
“What if Dean Zhang is struggling with his own difficulties?” Li Hao sighed with a smile. “Once the traitors control the world, they might contact New Martial. Things will be safer then, so I might actually be obstructing his plan...”
New thoughts occurred to the troop leaders with these words and their expressions shifted once more.
“That will not happen...” one of them said. “Soldiers are forthright, direct people without any twists and turns! It would be a lack of New Martial spirit if he wishes for the enemy to seize Silver Moon world so that they would contact the main world. New Martial fights against everything, even in conflicts that we know we cannot overcome! The commander must have misunderstood!”
Li Hao turned around and faced the Silver Armors, his void low. “What if... and I don’t mean just Dean Zhang, but if the powerhouses of the other main cities... are also of this mindset? Will you still fight then? Will you set yourself against them?”
The Silver Armors finally had nothing to respond with. Li Hao turned around upon seeing their reaction, leaving the troop leaders gaping behind him.
What if even the senior levels were unwilling to fight?
When Li Hao was about to fade into the distance, a troop leader suddenly declared harshly, “Commander Li can belittle us and all of the remnants of New Martial in the minor world, but you cannot think lightly of the New Martial spirit!
“If it really comes down to that, they will have betrayed the New Martial spirit even though they are officers. Traitors of the New Martial spirit are traitors of New Martial. They can be killed!”
Another troop leader trembled at this declaration and followed with, “That’s right! Those without the New Martial spirit can be executed! New Martial is not to be dismissed and disparaged! No one is permitted to borrow the New Martial name while damaging its prestige!”
“Do you... mean that?” Li Hao turned around.
“Every word that we speak is wholeheartedly true!” chorused the Silver Armors. “No matter who it is—those who do not fight back, give themselves up, and await their doom are traitors. They can be killed, even if they are imperial descendants!”
