Chapter 530 Failure Is a Betrayal
Dang!
The long sword in his hand slipped weakly, Sun Xiangtian slowly turned his head and looked at the person who came with a pale face, "Master Shadow..."
"The war report has spread to all the major cities. Now people are spontaneously organizing demonstrations against us everywhere. We can't suppress it at all..."
"We have..."
"Lost."
Sun Xiangtian's eyes were extremely empty. It was better to say that he was talking to himself than to Shadow, "Master Shadow, how do you think future generations will record us?"
"The most ridiculous rebellion?"
"Or a bunch of damn clowns?"
The shadow looked down at Sun Xiangtian and slowly crouched down. Son, "It's already this moment, and you haven't made up your mind yet?"
"Only if you fail, it's a rebellion."
"If you succeed, it's called a purge!"
"We haven't lost yet."
"As long as we kill Guanshan, the history books will still be written by us!"
"Everyone will only remember the final winner."
"Such a simple truth..."
"Don't you understand?"
Sun Xiangtian looked at Shadow numbly, and asked dumbfoundedly, "Lord Shadow... do we... really... still have a chance?"
Shadow did not answer Sun Xiangtian's question, but raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
Sun Xiangtian raised his head blankly, but saw nothing.
Just when he was at a loss and wanted to ask questions.
More than a dozen powerful pressures rose from the ground and rushed into the sky.
The terrifying energy fluctuations made the entire Dawn City shake slightly.
There was no need for detailed sensing to easily distinguish the direction of the dozen pressures...
It was the direction of the Seventh Legion!
"Master Shadow... this... is..." Sun Xiangtian's brain was like an electric shock, and he temporarily lost the ability to think.
"This is the last chance that the Symbiosis Society gives you."
"Gather your remnants and send troops again to destroy the Seventh Legion. The future is still ours."
Shadow's voice was extremely cold, implying an unquestionable tyranny.
Sun Xiangtian's stunned brain gradually regained the ability to think. Just now, more than a dozen venerables suddenly appeared in Dawn City, showing the powerful strength of the Symbiosis Society.
But he was not happy at all.
This force can definitely defeat the Seventh Legion and Guanshan.
But this force can also easily crush Sun Xiangtian himself.
He had always thought that the Symbiosis Society chose to support him as the acting chief. It was because the strength of the Symbiosis Society was equal to his, so his cooperation was needed.
Until this moment, Sun Xiangtian realized that he was wrong.
Very wrong!
After trapping the army of the Demon Slayer Division, the Symbiosis Society, which has more than a dozen venerables, has become the undisputed first force.
The reason why they have been holding back is that they want Sun Xiangtian to play the villain.
All the bad things and dirty work are done by the logistics helpers.
All done by Sun Xiangtian.
When everything is settled, the Symbiosis Society only needs to get rid of Sun Xiangtian, and they can quickly whitewash themselves and take the position as the savior instead of the traitor!
If Sun Xiangtian's previous command was not so bad, the Symbiosis Society would never intervene at this time to forcibly reverse the situation.
"Master Shadow..." Sun Xiangtian swallowed hard, trying to delay time, "My army has just been defeated and needs some rest time. If I force the army to start again, I am afraid that the soldiers will mutiny."
"Hehe..." Shadow smiled softly.
"I have taken out all the money of the Symbiosis Society. I can send them to the Seventh Legion or send them back."
"Anyway, both sides are 'rebels'. It doesn't matter which side's 'rebels' are killed?"
"Isn't that right?"
Shadow's threat was straightforward and naked, and he almost put the knife on Sun Xiangtian's neck.
"I... understand. I will arrange for the troops to assemble immediately." Sun Xiangtian looked at Shadow with despair on his face and said in an almost pleading tone.
"Lord Shadow... I feel that after such a big failure, I am no longer suitable to be the acting chief."
"It is more appropriate for you, Lord Shadow, to take this position."
Shadow patted Sun Xiangtian on the shoulder and said softly, "Failure is common in the military. You just sit here peacefully."
"The Symbiosis Society will not forget your contribution, nor will it forget the efforts you have made."
"When the big things are settled, we will share this overwhelming wealth."
Reason told Sun Xiangtian that Shadow's words were pure nonsense and were just fooling him.
But his instinct for survival made him want to believe it subconsciously.
A drowning person would treasure even a light straw.
In the painful entanglement, Sun Xiangtian finally chose to compromise.
In this way, the second round of the Northern Expedition to fight against the bandits began again.
......
Ten Thousand Miles of Demon Realm.
The Seventh Legion changed its previous marching route and completely stopped the plan to besiege Dawn City.
The station outside Dawn City was directly abandoned, and all non-essential baggage was abandoned.
As soon as Guanshan's order was received, the Seventh Legion made preparations for moving camp.
The current Seventh Army is rushing madly in the Wanli Demon Territory, aiming directly at the Wuliang Snow Mountain.
"Why do those dozen venerables keep hanging behind us, not taking action, but just following us from a distance? What do they mean?"
Qiao Jiang asked nervously while on the road.
"Shouldn't the most critical issue now be where so many venerables suddenly appeared?" Qiao Xiaohui said.
"Anyway, they are definitely not Sun Xiangtian's people. If they were from the logistics department, they wouldn't have been beaten so badly a few days ago." Yang Chao's tone was still calm, and there was no sign of him planning to escape for the time being.
"If they are not from the logistics department, nor are they our people, then they can only be from the [Symbiosis Association], right?" Liang Yuxin said with a frown.
"Who cares who he is? He's not a good person anyway." Qiao Xiaohui summarized everyone's speech and said, "Don't think too much, just listen to Guanshan. I think he knows what's going on and he's not panicking at all."
"You really have to admit that Guanshan is really different after coming out of the officer training camp. He has the demeanor of a great general."
"I feel safe following him."
Guanshan didn't hear his companions' comments. He was concentrating on sensing the slightest movement around him, guarding against the sudden attack of the dozen or so venerables behind him.
Suddenly, his heart "jumped".
It seemed that something very, very important was about to happen.
Guanshan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the scorching sun above his head.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Guanshan always felt that there seemed to be a small black dot next to the scorching sun, flickering, as if it was breathing.
Guanshan didn't know what the black dot was, but he couldn't help but stare at it.
It seemed that the black spot contained something very important to him.
Following Guan Shan's sight, far away...
Lu Changsheng finally arrived in front of the kingdom of the [Lord of the Underworld].
