653 Scare Tactics (2/2)

This person had to come from amongst the higher rank commanders, since the operation had always been kept a secret from ordinary soldiers.

The door to Samantha's office was swung open, and captain Sailuofu appeared. He had been the most loyal follower and an admirer of Samantha.

Xiao Se shot Sailuofu a glance, and they knew the answer right away. ”It was you!”

Sailuofu cracked a smile. ”I know how you feel right now, but your fate is sealed. I didn't leave you guys for old time's sake, and I want to give you one last chance. Please, join the immortals. They are the real future of mankind.”

Samantha smirked contemptuously: ”Did Patroclus tell you to say that?”

Sailuofu's face hardened. ”You know my feelings toward you. It had nothing to do with Patroclus. I want you to join me! Surrender now, or else, you won't have another chance.”

”Surrender my a*s! I'm glad that you didn't leave us so that I can do away with you, traitor!”

Sailuofu cursed in his mind. He didn't expect the situation to escalate so quickly either. His original order didn't include any information on the complete annihilation of the human fleet. He wagered that the change of objective had nothing to do with Patroclus, since he was not well known for his capaciousness. It had to be that dipsh*t Dimalis.

Sailuofu conceded that his only option right then was to persuade Samantha to join the immortals.

”I am thinking for everyone. If I didn't care about you, I would have run away a long time ago. How many years have we been on the run for? I am sick of it, and so is everyone else. Even if we can destroy the dark ones' armada, then what? Patroclus' fleet is ten times stronger than the dark ones'.” Sailuofu pleaded one last time. ”Please, come with me. The immortals could use your talents and skills. They are not who you think they are…you will see.”

As Sailuofu spoke, the Zergs' armada had started to shrink the encirclement. Samantha sighed and then turned to the two generals, ”I apologize! It was my fault letting a mole into our ranks.”

Li Hong and Xiao Se smiled, ”Perhaps it's our destiny. The humans will not stop fighting because of our defeat. We should at least try to give them a heavy blow before our time comes.” Xiao Se said with aplomb.

”I didn't see that gusto in you, Xiao Se. Haha!” Li Hong laughed, his voice laced with a peaceful finality.

Sailuofu's face paled, as he didn't want to die. ”Samantha, come with me. You will only rot with these old fools, as the immortals will…”

”Shut up, traitor!” Samantha rebutted hotly.

”Traitor? You call ME a traitor, you floozy b*tch? I had been nice to you ever since we met, and what did I get? Nothing! But as soon as Wang f*cking Tong showed up, oh no…you spread your legs faster than the speed of light. I can't wait to see you're a*s getting wrecked by the dark ones!”

”You won't see that.” Li Hong said with an eerily calm voice as he produced a pistol from his desk.

”Hold on! Don't kill him yet.” Samantha urged Li Hong.

”Hehe, I knew you would change your mind. Come with me now” Sailuofu said.

”Why do we need this scumbag alive?” Li Hong asked.

”We can't hold him as a hostage. The dark ones wouldn't give a sh*t about him.”

Samantha shook her head and said, ”No. I just want him to see our victory. As a matter of fact, we need to thank him for our victory.”

For a fleeting moment, Xiao Se and Li Hong thought Samantha had gone crazy.

”Everything is under control, generals. We had played along with the Zergs and made them think that they had seen through our ruse, so that we could lure their entire armada.” Samantha said firmly with confidence.

”Admiral... how are we going to eliminate the Zerg's armada?” Xiao Se asked carefully, unsure if Samantha's mind was stable. They had run out of mass destruction weapons many years ago, and the only way to seal the fate of the Zergs was to turn their ships' engine into nuclear bombs. But that meant the end of their lives as well.

”I can't disclose more about this. You will have to wait and see,” Samantha said.

”Oh shut up you liar! I know your fleets well. You have nothing to use against the dark ones.”

Suddenly, Xiao Se and Li Hong both had a moment of epiphany as they looked to each other and announced, ”Wang Tong!”
