638 Insurgence (2/2)

”Only 154 heads. Since they need the murderers, we'll just hand them over.” With ferocity in his voice, Chen Lin looked directly at the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, not understanding what Chen Lin meant.

But then he caught on and instantly understood the deeper meaning.

Since mutated humans' brains couldn't distinguish the murderers.

Then were they just going to kill a few random people and use their heads to comfort them?

”Where would we find 154 people?” The emperor's fingers tapped the armrest of the dragon chair as he muttered to himself.

With a grimace, the elder walked beside the emperor and whispered into his ear.

”There are ten thousand slaves working in Donggang Plantation. 154 missing slaves is nothing at all…”

…

”How long will this war last?” Standing on top of the wall, Sun Xiaorou dangled her legs while picking up binoculars to observe the horizon in the distance.

In the distance, the sun was sliding west.

NAC unleashed 1000 combustion missiles on the mutated humans' zone of control and suppressed them within the city. Based on the casualty reports from Aurora-20's reconnaissance, the mutated human's 5000 division lost about a third of its troops with all armored units destroyed.

But NAC still hadn't served the final blow. They maintained the illusion that they were fairly matched.

Before the arrival of the signal of Empire's collapse, NAC needed the mutated humans to maintain their arrogance.

Next to Sun Xiaorou, Jiang Chen carefully observed the side of her face.

Sometimes, he thought she was extremely similar to her sister.

Jiang Chen then shifted his gaze to the distance.

”It depends how well the Hunter Division is doing.”

Han Junhua stepped onto the wall and walked behind him.

”The ten thousand slaves in Donggang Plantation are uprising.”

When he heard his long-awaited message, a victorious smile surfaced on his face.

With the Hunter Division's purposeful provocation, the tension between Empire citizens and officials was pushed to its maximum. And the foolish idea of sacrificing slaves was suggested by an elder bribed by Zhao Baodong. When this news spread out between the slaves, even the numbest people couldn't suppress the fury in the bottoms of their hearts.

They just needed a person to lead and a person to give them a few guns before they would naturally choose the option to riot.

NAC didn't need to send out a single troop.

”Good. In this case, we should start moving.”

”Yes.”

Han Junhua nodded and turned around.

Sun Xiaorou stood up from the edge of the wall, patted the dust off her hand and looked at Jiang Chen.

”Finally going to start fighting?”

With a smile, Jiang Chen raised his head and gazed at the steel airship.

”Mhmm, time to display our true power.”

In the lingering sunset glow, this was the first time the Hammer of Order was stained with a menacing vibe.

Just like the signal produced from a conductor's baton, the prelude to the fall of Empire was about to begin.
