God and Devil World

The other 7 soldiers on duty immediately stood up and looked into the distance. Upon confirmation of the enemy, their faces turned pale as they shouted,

”Tank! There is actually a tank!!”

In the distance, four steel behemoths were constantly getting closer. Following behind the tanks, there was a long line of military vehicles fitted with various machine guns.

Right as the eight soldiers were considering whether to escape or not, a young man carrying a white flag strode up to the 8 soldiers and spoke in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing,

”I am Xu Feng, a representative for Mahogany Town’s Yue Zhong. I would like to request an audience with your Highest Commanding Officer Tao Zhengyi.”

Inside Ning Guang County’s CPC county committee conference hall, Tao Zhengyi was currently staring at Xu Feng and the person standing beside him with an ashen face. The person acting as Xu Feng’s bodyguard was actually Yue Zhong. Tao Zhengyi spoke coldly,

”What do you want?! Speak!”

Xu Feng and Yue Zhong had already been searched, and did not possess any weapons. Tao Zhengyi had also brought along 11 Enhancers for his own protection, and so he wasn’t too concerned about his own safety.

Xu Feng immediately came on strong and said,

”President Tao, the 2 battalions you previously sent to attack us have already been annihilated. This time, we have brought along our own forces and hope for you to surrender unconditionally. In exchange, we would protect your assets and guarantee your family’s safety. If we have to force our way in, I’m afraid we can’t promise the same.”

Tao Zhengyi’s small eyes glinted maliciously with a look of shock. He retorted coldly,

”Are you threatening me right now? Ning Guang County has a population of 15,000 and a 4000-man strong army. We even have an entire military camp’s worth of equipment, if you dare to attack my Ning Guang County, just know that my 4000 soldiers are not vegetarians.*”

[*TN: It’s said that vegetarians have not seen blood, so if you are not a vegetarian… you get the gist.]

[UBPC: Celery bleeds green >.>]

”Nevertheless, this matter truly was an error on my part first. I’m willing to hand over 3000 tonnes of rations, 20 beautiful ladies, 1 tonne of fuel and 150kg of gold as compensation.”

After ’flexing his muscles’, Tao Zhengyi immediately attempted a soft approach.

Ning Guang County had 5 main battalions, as well as an additional battalion that was dedicated to public security, making its forces number about 3000 people in total. Tao Zhengyi’s claim of 4000 soldiers was just a figure of speech, and it didn’t mean that his numbers equated to strength. Amongst the 5 battalions, Yue Zhong had already subdued 2. There were 4 battalions left, and if the soldiers in charge of public security were to try and fight with their cold weapons, it was tantamount to suicide. As for the other 3 battalions, only they had proper military equipment, but they did not possess enough heavy weaponry.

Ning Guang County had 2 infantry fighting vehicles that could be dangerous, but like Yue Zhong, they lacked the manpower and knowledge to operate the advanced weaponry. Therefore, when facing Xu Feng’s intimidation, Tao Zhengyi wanted to display his own power and threaten them before offering another way out. This was all in the hope that they could try to reconcile matters between Yue Zhong’s side and his.

The four Type 69 tanks outside Ning Guang County were also giving Tao Zhengyi a huge amount of pressure. Tanks, they were considered the kings of land-based modern warfare!

Yue Zhong looked at Tao Zhengyi and he instantly activated his Art of Fear Skil, causing a terrifying spiritual pressure to spread out with him as the centre.

Everyone was caught off-guard, and other than Yue Zhong, everyone was engulfed in the huge area of effect of the Art of Fear. Since Xu Feng and Tao Zhengyi were only normal people, they immediately fainted. Out of the 11 Enhancers that Tao Zhengyi had brought, 7 of them also fainted directly while 3 others could only hug their heads in agony.

Only the strongest, Tao Zhengyi’s only remaining Evolver Tie Ya, remained conscious despite the sharp pain in his head. His eyes were filled with shock and fear as he pointed at Yue Zhong and exclaimed,

”Evolver!!”

Yue Zhong looked at Tie Ya, saying coldly,

”You’re also an Evolver right? Surrender or you’ll die here!”

”Go to hell!!”
