However, despite the anger in his heart, Tong Hu still stared at this warrior intensely, uttering each word with gritted teeth as if crushing them out from between his jaws.
"Military orders are like mountains, do you understand?"
The warrior was silent for a mont, then reluctantly replied, "Yes." He turned back into the ranks.
In the Sky Net Camp, this was just a small reflection of what was happening; similar scenarios were occurring in almost every corner.
If not for Sky Net’s strict military discipline, so soldiers might have already mutinied, as the entire camp seed like a powder keg.
Even in the main tent of headquarters, Long Qie was scowling with anger as he spoke to Xiao Zheng, "Mr. Xiao, how much longer do we have to endure this?"
Xiao Zheng replied coolly, "You don’t need to worry about this. When it’s ti for you to act, you’ll naturally be called upon."
Long Qie felt helpless; although dissatisfied, he dared not defy Xiao Zheng.
Ti quietly passed by, and soon it was night. In the Arctic Circle, there are polar days and nights, but where Sky Net was located, it was a little away from the Arctic Circle, so dayti and nightti were still normal.
On the large ship of Demon Shield Bureau, Sikureijeman and others were holding another eting in the conference room.
Sikureijeman frowned and said, "Things are very unusual. We’ve repeatedly launched attacks over the past three days, using extrely harsh words to insult Sky Net. From any angle, they can’t endure it, yet now they’re not making any move!"
Steel Man’s expression was a bit solemn as he said, "We’ve fought with Sky Net several tis before. Although the style of Sky Net is formidable, it’s deeply intertwined with intelligence. I’m wondering if amidst this anomaly, there could be so plot involved?"
Upon hearing this, Red Giant, Black Ji, Spiderman, and others all beca a bit anxious.
...
At this mont, within the Sky Net Camp, Xiao Zheng gathered Long Qie and others, and said with a smile, "We’ve been at the headquarters of the Demon Shield Bureau for quite so ti, yet we haven’t taken a proper stroll. This night, the stars are just right, let’s go out for a view."
Everyone was taken aback by these words. Viewing the scenery? It’s the crucial mont of confrontation with the Demon Shield Bureau! How could they lightly leave the battlefield? Moreover, this North Pole is just icy and snowy—what’s there to view?
Everyone’s hearts were full of doubt. Long Qie was the first to speak, "Mr. Xiao, what are you up to? I don’t understand."
Titan also nodded, "Exactly, now is obviously not the ti for sightseeing. We should plan carefully how to counterattack."
Several subordinates expressed their objections.
Although Xiao Zheng held absolute authority within Sky Net, this didn’t an that Long Qie and others were re echoers. If they had any ideas, they would boldly express them, never hiding anything. This is what Xiao Zheng continuously encouraged and advocated.
Only when everyone bravely speaks their minds can they collide in such oppositions and find the perfect solution for various problems.
Dugu Baitian, however, didn’t have any objections. He just nodded slightly.
Xiao Zheng glanced at everyone, smiled, and said, "I know you are very puzzled, but I’ll explain to you later. Now, follow ."
Seeing Xiao Zheng behave so mysteriously, everyone felt helpless but eventually followed him out and boarded the big ship of Sky Net.
Once aboard, Long Qie and the others were shocked to discover the ship was densely packed full of figures!
Looking from afar, the array was terrifying, with a multitude of figures like mountains and seas, majestic in montum.
However, as Long Qie, Titan, Gongsun Wuliang, and others approached, they were stunned to find that all these figures were iron puppets.
These iron puppets were firmly anchored to the deck, roughly resembling the terracotta warriors.
"What’s this for?" Long Qie and Titan were puzzled, feeling utterly confused.
Xiao Zheng didn’t explain at all. He went straight into the control room of the ship and beckoned everyone to sit; a group of soldiers then brought in wine in seamless succession, apparently of high quality, costly as it seed.
Xiao Zheng pointed to the scenery outside the control room with a smile, "Look, the scenery in the North Pole is extrely beautiful, unpolluted, with clear skies. At night, endless stars float like diamonds, shining splendidly, magnificent and breathtaking. If we don’t appreciate it a bit, we’re wasting this fine mont."
Long Qie was restless, and with a wry smile, he said, "Mr. Xiao, given the current situation, who among us can appreciate the scenery? I’m sure you have a plan, so stop beating around the bush and tell us."
Xiao Zheng simply smiled faintly without answering, ordering the ship to embark, circling the island, drawing a wide arc, towards the back of the Demon Shield Bureau, seemingly heading to the Bureau’s headquarters.
"Sneak attack?"
Long Qie, Titan, Gongsun Wuliang, etc., eyes flashed.
However, they soon shook their heads; this ship didn’t have many people, and even if it were a sneak attack, they clearly couldn’t succeed with just a few of them.
Xiao Zheng retained a relaxed deanor, with a smile all along, rely urging everyone to drink and engaging in a conversation about various martial arts stories and anecdotes, seemingly unaware of the concerns and confusion in Long Qie’s group.
Ultimately, only Dugu Baitian could settle down and drink with Xiao Zheng. Dugu Baitian didn’t talk much, but he was ruthless, eventually competing with Xiao Zheng in drinking, one cup at a ti, intensely battling.
Nearby, Long Qie, Titan, and others were stunned; drinking doesn’t allow for Gang Qi refinent, so it tests only one’s capacity for alcohol, and the drinking capacity displayed by Xiao Zheng and Dugu Baitian was astonishing, needing barrels to asure the consud amount by the end.
Seeing this, Long Qie, Titan, Gongsun Wuliang completely succumbed: damn, two gods of wine.
Bang!
Xiao Zheng threw the bottle to the ground, and with a bang, it shattered as Xiao Zheng laughed heartily and loudly proclaid, "Refreshing, refreshing! Brother Dugu, I didn’t expect that you have such an impressive capacity for alcohol, rivaling , hahaha."
Dugu Baitian’s face remained expressionless, lightly saying, "Your drinking capacity can’t compare to mine."
Xiao Zheng’s eyes instantly widened, exclaiming, "What did you say? My drinking capacity is not as good as yours? Ridiculous! I’m the Evil God, how can I not surpass you? Let’s drink more, more!"
Beside them, Long Qie, Titan, and others rolled their eyes; Xiao Zheng indeed appeared to be drunk.
Dugu Baitian’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible smile, indicating, "We’re there."
"Hmm?" Xiao Zheng sobered up and looked outside through the glass window.
