Chapter 405 Human Nature

After the New Moon City reinforcements arrived at Tieyang, the defeat of the World Government Army was doomed.

After the enemies in the outer battlefield surrendered one after another, the Tieyang defenders also quickly abandoned the city and surrendered.

They wanted to resist, but the internal orbital cannon directly bombarded the headquarters building, and they all became obedient.

In a world where extraordinary powers exist, war is sometimes so dramatic.

If there are top-level extraordinary people on the opposite side, if you don’t have the same level, or even someone who can slightly contain you, the battle line and morale will easily collapse.

Due to the large number of enemies, the final stage lasted for three days and three nights.

According to subsequent statistics, Ichiro Aso, the commander-in-chief of the World Government Army’s Tieyang Campaign, was killed in the battle. His third, fifth, ninth, eleventh, and twelfth army groups, as well as 170,000 people including the surrendered army and the Tieyang defenders were annihilated, and 720,000 people were captured.

A total of 103 enemy Titan mechas, 1,264 main battle tanks, 5,873 artillery pieces, and countless other drones and other weapons were seized.

As for the Wolf Raid, the loss exceeded 220,000 people, leaving less than two-thirds of the original. Many troops fought to the last man, were completely annihilated, and were forced to disband.

The Iron Sun Campaign was one of the largest and most decisive battles during the Black Tide War. The two sides of the war deployed more than 1.6 million soldiers, setting a record for the largest number of participants since the first year of Dawn, and became a watershed in the entire war.

After this battle, the Wolf Raid Army not only gained a vital military manufacturing city, but also completely opened up the north and south battlefields, relying on the "Inland Sea" as a boundary to separate the east and west of the entire World Government territory.

From then on, whether it continued to attack the enemy's hinterland to the west, or relied on the existing results to hold on to the east, the strategic initiative was in the hands of the Wolf Raid.

Victory brings joy, there is no doubt about that.

But it often does not bring peace.

"I'll fucking kill you!!!"

At this time, Tieyang City was under the control of the Wolf Raiders. In a prisoner camp, a chaotic riot was taking place.

The open space inside and outside the prisoner camp was crowded with people. The air was filled with tension. The crowd was divided into two groups and was confronting each other.

One group was the Wolf Raiders camp composed of hundreds of soldiers, led by an officer named "Carl". Their eyes were full of anger and hatred, their teeth were clenched, and they were looking forward angrily.

The other group was an equal number of mercenaries, basically the people of Edge and Mo Xue, led by Shangguan Li, who was looking at the Wolf Raiders soldiers with a vigilant look.

The front of the two sides was only a few meters apart. The confrontation was full of gunpowder, as if they had a dispute over something.

There were a few ragged soldiers behind Shangguan Li. Judging from the prison uniforms and the embarrassed appearance, they were undoubtedly prisoners of the World Government Army.

These prisoners were trembling with fear, with blood and bruises on their faces. They should have been beaten up just now.

As soon as the wolf raiders led by Carl took a few steps forward, Shangguan Li immediately protected the captives and stared at them: "Back off! I told you to back off! Did you hear me?!"

Carl's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He pointed at the captives and gnashed his teeth and cursed: "These bastards killed my brother who had died with me! I want to avenge him!"

The captive explained in horror: "I, I didn't kill anyone! I was sent out not long ago, and the large army surrendered. I didn't fire a single shot!"

Carl's eyes were full of bloodthirsty ferocity: "I don't care if you have killed anyone, anyway, my brother Die in Tieyang, die at the hands of you running dogs. You work for the World Government, you must pay back your blood debt! "

Seeing Carl rushing over again, Shangguan Li protected the frightened prisoners and stretched out his hand to push the furious wolf-raid soldier away: "What are you doing? ! They have surrendered and have no weapons in their hands. You are abusing the prisoners!"

"Abuse?" Carl's eyes widened with anger, as if he remembered something sad and angry, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Let me tell you what abuse is!"

"When my brother was dragged back by his comrades, his legs were crushed by the tank, and his two legs were crushed by the tank. His arm was also cut off by the enemy with a saber, but he didn't die at that time. Do you know why? "

"Because these bastards deliberately didn't kill the people who felled, but only cut off their hands and feet, making our people live or die! Deliberately creating serious injuries to drag us down!"

"In order not to become a burden to everyone, my brother bit his tongue and committed suicide in the middle of the night"

At this point, Carl's eyes were full of tears, and he poked his heart hard and said: "That's my brother! I have known him for 13 years! We fought together in the border, and when the beasts came, we went through life and death together to help the big sister We fought Tianmen together when we were escaping, and later we raised the banner of Wolf Raid again in the no-man's land together."

"We all agreed that after the war, we would live in a quiet place together, and whoever had a child in the future, the other would be the godfather of that child."

"But he died just like that! He was tortured beyond recognition by these beasts, and was finally forced to bite his tongue and commit suicide! Tell me! Should I avenge this? !"

Brotherhood is very common among groups dealing with war, and mercenaries are one of such groups. Shangguan Li empathized with this grief and anger, and her eyes were a little red.

But she still said firmly: "If you have a grudge, you can go to the world government to avenge it, go to the battlefield to avenge it. You caught a few innocent prisoners and tortured them, is this humane? Do you have any discipline at all?"

Carl's heart was completely ignited with anger.

What a bullshit discipline.

What a bullshit humanity.

It's not your brother who died, why are you pretending to be kind and righteous?

"My discipline!" Carl roared and rushed forward, swinging his arm and punching.

"Boom!" There were still prisoners behind Shangguan. He didn't hide and took the punch firmly, causing his nose to bleed.

"Master!" Dongdong was also present at this time. Although she has grown up in recent years, her personality is less impatient than before.

But seeing Shangguan Li being beaten, she became furious on the spot, yelled and rushed over: "You bitch, I'll kill your father!"

Dongdong suddenly pounced on Karl and knocked him to the ground. While cursing nasty words, he punched him in the face with his fist.

This move was like lighting a powder keg, instantly detonating the emotions of everyone present.

When the Wolf Raid soldiers saw their brothers being beaten, they all shouted loudly and swarmed towards Dongdong with curse words.

The mercenaries saw that you were the one who made the first move, but actually started a group fight, so they rushed forward not to be outdone.

People on both sides collided with each other. From the initial pushing to the punching and kicking, hundreds of people started to fight.

"If you dare to touch my master and your dead father's things, I can't kill you!"

"Go to hell with your short winter melon, I've shaved off all your pink hair!"

"Hurry up and help Sister Dong! Come on!"

"Brothers, come on! Defeat these mercenaries!"

The surroundings instantly fell into chaos, with shouts, roars, and sounds of blows and collisions intertwined together, filling the sky with boiling water.

News of the gang fights in the prisoner camp spread quickly.

When Sibel and Sumer hurried over with people, there were already many people lying on the ground, all of them with bruised noses and swollen faces, muttering and cursing.

Dongdong and Karl were still fighting in the mud. Both of them had bright faces, but neither one was convinced by the other, and they grabbed each other and beat each other back and forth.

Shangguan Li finally pulled Dongdong away, kicked him, pushed Karl away with his backhand, and punched him again.

Sibel was very angry when he saw everyone fighting each other. He rushed into the scene and shouted: "Stop fighting! They are all our own people! What are you fighting for?!"

When Dong Dong was dragged away by Shangguan Li and Su Mo, he was still pointing at Carl's nose and yelling: "Fuck your dad, you bitch, you can't touch my master?!"

Karl was stopped by Sibel, but he still spoke dishonestly and retorted: "So what if I touch her? Hypocritical bitches deserve to be beaten!"

Dongdong: "Why the hell do you try to curse again??!!"

The two said they were going to fight again. Fortunately, two heavyweights, Sumer and Sibel, were present. The others had calmed down and dispersed to both sides. Dongdong and Karl were also held down respectively.

Many people were injured in this round of group fighting. The only good thing is that both sides are still measured.

A fight was a fight, everyone knew it was one of their own and didn't use any harsh tactics.

So are Dongdong and Carl.

Both of them were extraordinary people, but no matter how hard they fought, they never used their extraordinary power.

Seriously, a low-level officer like Karl cannot even reach the level of the fourth stage, so why should he fight Dongdong?

The two of them had only suffered superficial injuries from the fight. They looked embarrassed, but it was nothing.

Sibel stood in the middle and asked sternly: "What's going on?!"

Karl pointed at Shangguan Li and others, and said with a look of reluctance: "Second Sister, please give me some advice. The lackeys of the World Government have killed so many of our brothers. I want to avenge everyone, and these people have to stop me!"

Sibel yelled angrily: "Revenge, revenge, are you a bandit? Capture unarmed prisoners for revenge? If you have the strength to fight with your own people, why didn't you kill more enemies on the battlefield?"

In terms of qualifications, strength, and status, Karl is not as good as Sibel, and he cannot stand up to rebuke.

He was so anxious that he held back tears and shouted, "I don't accept it!"

Sibel didn't tolerate him at all: "If you don't accept it, hold it in! You violated discipline and lost your temper? Tell me, who made the first move just now?"

Dongdong rolled his eyes at the tearful Karl, and said suddenly: "I moved first."

After hearing this, Karl was stunned for a moment, wiped away his tears and shouted: "There is no need for you to pretend to be a good person! I dare to take action, I was the one who made the move first!"

Dongdong said in a sinister tone: "I have a mouthful of words. I can't beat a grown man in a fight. You're still crying. I'm laughing so hard."

Karl's face turned red when he was ridiculed: "Who the hell can't beat you! Come again if you have the guts!"

Dongdong: "Come then, are you afraid?"

"Stop arguing!" Sibel shouted to stop the quarrel between the two.

She first glanced at Su Mo secretly, as if to find out what he meant.

After getting a look in response, she said to Dongdong and Karl with a cold face: "We all like to take the blame, right? Let's do it together! The two who are the ones who are causing trouble should be sent to the solitary room immediately. They are not allowed to eat or drink. They will reflect for 24 hours." !”

Dongdong muttered shamelessly: "Just go, there's no big deal."

When the two were taken to the solitary confinement area by the soldiers, their mouths were not idle and they were still squirting at each other.

The people at the scene dispersed quickly.

Sibel restored order, went to Su Mo and whispered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Boss, I know that boy Karl must have done it first."

"But there were a lot of people at the time, and I had to give an explanation to the brothers from Wolf Raid. I can only lock the two of them in together until the second master comes out tomorrow. I will go and apologize to her."

Su Mo smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. Although Dong Zai is very vengeful, he never bears grudges against his own people. If she sleeps in there, she will forget about it when she comes out tomorrow."

"You and Fenrir, on the other hand, are all temperamental people. It's not easy to manage so many people."

Sibel sighed helplessly: "Don't mention it, it's really a headache to manage this."

"Whether it's the batch that followed us from the border or the batch that was collected in the no-man's land, to put it bluntly, we are all mud-legged people, we have never been to school, we have only known how to fight since we were young, and we don't know any discipline."

"We have no relatives or family, only comrades-in-arms around us, and brotherhood is the only thing left for everyone. So don't blame Carl for being so excited. His good brother died, and he was sadder than anyone else."

Su Mo looked up at the distant sky and said, "I know, this is normal. We are human beings, and humans have emotions and desires. There are too few people who can be absolutely rational."

It was dusk at this time, the noise of war had gone away, the sunset slowly sank, and the fiery red afterglow sprinkled on this city that was once full of smoke, illuminating those buildings that were devastated by the war.

Su Mo's pupils reflected this desolate scene, and he murmured, "That's why human management can never be perfect, whether it's a small group or a large world."

Xibel blinked and smiled, "Boss, you're quite cultured. It's just a group fight, how come you've raised it to a philosophical level?"

Su Mo didn't say much, but patted Xibel on the shoulder and said, "You're still injured, go to rest early, and cherish the few rest time you have."

She nodded, "Okay, you should rest early too."

Xibel said goodbye to Su Mo and returned to the camp early.

Su Mo went to the city wall and looked from a high place. The once towering trees in the suburbs were now only charred dead branches, standing alone on this desolate land. The cold wind blew, bringing a biting chill, and the dust on the ground swirled in the air.

The ground was littered with broken weapons and ammunition shells, mixed with burnt vehicles and human body fragments. Several crows rested on the wreckage of the tanks, their black feathers gleaming in the sunset. They made low calls from time to time, pecking at the flesh and blood between the metal gaps.

Those once vibrant lives, whether they belonged to the World Government Army or the Wolf Raid, are now only corpses, telling the tragic situation of the war.

Suddenly, Su Mo remembered a sentence he had seen before.

The animal that kills the most humans is precisely humans themselves.

As time passed, the light of dusk gradually faded, and night fell.

The sunset was swallowed by darkness, the stars twinkled in the silent night sky, and only the cries of the crows were still echoing.

In the darkness, Su Mo looked up at the eternal stars above his head, and his soft murmurs mixed with the crows in the distance.

"I want to give you a perfect world." (End of this chapter)
