Chapter 1043: Chapter 781: Negotiation (Part 2)
After all, the escape ship was not far ahead, and as a prince of the Falis Empire, he still needed to maintain some dignity.
Soon, they reached the entrance of the escape ship.
The soldiers guarding the area had been waiting for a long time.
“Sir, please board the ship quickly!”
…
However, at this moment, there was a loud boom, and flashes of light streaked across the metal wall beside the hangar, causing it to collapse with a bang.
The Fake V Generation Mecha, Ghost Deformity, emanating a black aura, walked in.
Several Red Guard Mechas in the hangar immediately charged forward to defend.
Ghost Deformity swung its Particle Light Blade, sweeping across like cutting vegetables, and annihilated all the charging Red Guard Mechas.
Boom!
One by one, the Red Guard Mechas exploded.
In an instant, the Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha, Ghost Deformity, arrived in front of Hackdy and the others, raising its Particle Light Blade to target them.
A terrifying aura directly enveloped them, as the Ghost Deformity Mecha issued a low, sinister voice.
“You are captured! Move and die!”
Hackdy was so terrified that he wet himself, his legs weakened, collapsing to the ground.
Fake was also trembling, with cold sweat pouring from his forehead uncontrollably.
Inside the Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha, Ghost Deformity, Su Mo looked at these commanders with some disdain. They were quite different from the high-ranking officials he had encountered in the Empire’s army before.
At this moment, the only one calm was Gleo, who raised his head to stare at the Ghostly Deformed Mecha without any fear and said, “Honorable sir, may I say something?”
Su Mo was also a bit surprised; this guy was on the brink of death but still had something to say?
“Speak!”
“Capturing us is useless, and killing us is even more so. How about we make a deal?”
Gleo’s eyes were fixed on the horrifying Ghost Deformity, his heart pounding.
Su Mo replied in a low altered voice, “What deal? Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?”
“Yes! If I am not mistaken, you do not want to destroy the Blue Whale. What you want is the resources on it, otherwise you could have attacked the power room upon entering the first time, destroying the entire Blue Whale instead of going through great lengths to paralyze it.”
Gleo spoke bluntly.
After hearing this, Su Mo fell silent.
Seeing that the Ghostly Deformed Mecha did not respond, Gleo’s eyes brightened further, and he continued, “The deal I propose is simple, and very advantageous for you.”
“Oh, is it? Let’s hear it,”
Su Mo was instantly intrigued.
“As long as you let us go, we will hand over the Blue Whale and all the resources on board to you. You might think victory is within reach and my words are laughable. But the reality is not so; inside the Blue Whale there are many subordinates of ours, and to be frank, they are preparing to install bombs which will be detonated immediately upon our withdrawal. And outside in space, there are many of our troops as well, who will attack the Blue Whale with all their might unless we command otherwise. No matter how strong you are, it might be beyond recovery at that point, right?”
Gleo spoke with calmness.
In contrast, Su Mo was stunned after hearing Gleo’s words.
Damn, he finally understood why the Blue Whale hadn’t activated its self-destruct program and install bombs earlier; these leaders were just a bunch of cowards.
To save their own lives, they would sacrifice the ship and resources.
Su Mo took a deep breath; no wonder the Taludi Empire, Falis Empire, and Feijil Empire were considered the weakest among the Imperial Army, always at the bottom of the rankings.
It wasn’t just the equipment difference; their personnel’s quality was too far behind.
If it had been the Galmotos Empire’s Blue Whale, it would probably have self-destructed, with commanders dying alongside it.
There would be no chance for negotiating terms here.
At this moment, the Fake Owner, Swallower, spoke to Su Mo in a low voice.
“What’s your plan?”
“Agree, only a fool wouldn’t.”
Although Su Mo despised these guys, he was very pleased with their surrender. After all, it’s better to deal with cowards; if they fought to the bitter end, he couldn’t guarantee the conditions on the Blue Whale.
So Su Mo pinched his throat and said in a low voice, “Alright! I agree!”
Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Gleo and the others were visibly relieved, their expressions softened considerably, finally preserving their lives.
Gleo then squeezed out a smile.
“As the Federation’s top expert, sir, you wouldn’t go back on your word, right?”
“Are you doubting me?”
Su Mo replied in a low tone.
“No, no, I’ll immediately order everyone to cease fighting and evacuate!”
Gleo returned with an awkward smile.
Seeing the deal concluded, Swallower withdrew his powers, and the black aura surrounding Ghost Deformity quickly dissipated.
Su Mo’s appearance returned to normal!
Gleo and the others saw the transformation of Ghost Deformity, their anxious hearts finally at ease, seemingly indicating the other party intended to spare them.
Thus, Gleo and the others raised their bracelets to issue ceasefire commands and abandon self-destruction.
Inside the Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha, Ghost Deformity, Su Mo also established a communication link with Sun Duoxiang.
Quickly, the communication connected, and Sun Duoxiang exclaimed excitedly, “Boss, give me a bit more time, and we’ll soon be able to completely board the Blue Whale!”
At this moment, Su Mo calmly said, “Command all units to ceasefire.”
“Huh? Why, boss?”
Sun Duoxiang was dumbfounded.
“They surrendered and are willing to hand over the Blue Whale and its supplies, so we let them go.”
“Huh? Boss, we have the advantage, why let them go? Capturing them would also be valuable!”
“You fool, their forces aren’t completely defeated. If you insist on eliminating them, how many of our people will perish? Also, the Blue Whale surely holds a significant amount of ammunition supply; if you push them too hard, they might blow up the Blue Whale, and you’ll regret it. Why fight to the end needlessly? Or do you think your men have extra lives? Should I tell them to continue fighting?”
Su Mo rebuked irritably.
“No, no, boss is wise; I’ll let our people stop right away.”
Sun Duoxiang quickly realized, replying smiling.
“Hurry up then.”
Su Mo grumbled, really feeling like he had been kicked in the head by a donkey; he was here to make money, not to fight to the death.
With both sides giving commands, the Imperial Army and Sun Duoxiang’s men halted their attacks simultaneously.
Wei Li and the others watched as the Imperial Army aboard the Blue Whale exited one by one, dejectedly leaving the ship, their faces full of excitement and mocking smiles.
However, they didn’t taunt openly, because Sun Duoxiang had warned them.
On another side, Su Mo instructed everyone to monitor the Imperial Army’s retreat while he alone piloted the Fake V Generation, Ghost Deformity, directly to the resource depot.
With a glance, he saw only stacks of packed resource boxes.
One couldn’t see the end of them.
