The Last Sentinel

Northern defense line, command post.

"Lord Anthony, those Homo sapiens are going too far! They've discovered we dare not attack them, and now they're becoming increasingly agitated. They've started dismantling our fortresses, plundering our supplies, and even claiming that some of them are trying to seduce my wife!"

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

"If we utter a single word of no, they'll just stick their necks out and let us chop them off!"

"The dignity and pride of the Neanderthals have been trampled into the ground!"

"We must take measures; we must target them!"

Seeing his subordinate generals weeping and wailing, Anthony, the commander of the northern front, looked at them with pity and sympathy. He patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "We are soldiers. Soldiers are duty-bound to obey orders. If our superiors have ordered us to avoid battle, we cannot initiate hostilities. Think about it, you have more than one wife, right?"

The general instantly broke down, "I do have seven wives, but all seven of them have been seduced away! Those Homo sapiens are bastards! They have so many tricks up their sleeves when it comes to seducing the opposite sex. My wives were all lured away by their sweet words. I... I'm really furious!"

On one side, the strategist Hua Xiaobai looked at the general whose defenses had been breached and secretly sighed, thinking that his fellow villager was a bit uncouth!

Hua Xiaobai has also seen Neanderthal women. They weren't ugly, but could you feel anything when you faced a five-meter-tall, perfectly modeled eight-foot lady?

Hua Xiaobai asked himself honestly, and he knew it was unlikely that he would be attracted to Madam Bachi, nor could he bring himself to kiss a Neanderthal woman.

But it's different for people from the same village. Among gamers, there are all sorts of fetishes, including those who are obsessed with wives. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to lay a hand on other people's wives.

But then again, are you Neanderthals completely without fault?

Can't you say sweet nothings, write love poems, be romantic, or go into a snow cave?

They always find fault with others, but never with themselves!

Just then, the communication conch shell glowed, indicating that new intelligence had emerged.

Hua Xiaobai skillfully received the information and glanced at it.

"Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Defense Line, Anthony, listen to my command: abandon any strategy of avoiding battle and immediately deploy all elite warriors of the Northern Federation to launch a devastating attack on Homo sapiens, wiping out all Homo sapiens invaders! This order is issued by John Darwin and Charles Darwin!"

When Hua Xiaobai saw the last two princes' signatures side by side, she was completely speechless!

I'll blanch it!

Has the strategy of avoiding war been abolished?

This... this is the end of the world!

Our fellow villagers are still pissing and defecating on the Neanderthals' heads while they're naked. If suddenly the enemy stops avoiding battle and starts a massacre, wouldn't our villagers be wiped out in one fell swoop?

Just then, Anthony glanced at Hua Xiaobai and asked, "Mr. Hua, what information?"

Hua Xiaobai pretended to be nonchalant and said, "They came from headquarters, saying that we've asked for too many supplies and personnel, and told us to reduce it a bit."

Anthony declared resolutely, "We cannot compromise an inch! Supplies, provisions, personnel, and weapons—not a single thing can be missing!"

"Yes!" Hua Xiaobai said, "I understand what Lord Anthony means. I will send a signal to headquarters right away."

Anthony stood up and addressed the outside, "Remember, your tone must be firm. When it comes to my interests, I don't care about anyone else's feelings, whether it's Charlie or John!"

Hua Xiaobai replied, "Understood. I will definitely understand Lord Anthony's will and demonstrate his upright, unwavering, open, and fair attitude, thus establishing Lord Anthony's image as a selfless and righteous figure!"

Anthony nodded appreciatively. "Well said. You truly are my most admired strategist. I must go on patrol now. Report any urgent intelligence immediately!"

Hua Xiaobai nodded, "Understood!"

Anthony, accompanied by his personal guards, left in a grand procession.

Inside the command center, Hua Xiaobai sat back down and quickly began translating text: "Version updated! Avoidance strategy abandoned! Neanderthals have launched a full-scale attack! Run!"

The signal was not sent to Perfect City, but was instead compiled to the coordinates of Fortress Seven.

Then Hua Xiaobai put dozens of prepared communication signals into the compiler, set the reply time, and set the coordinates to Perfect City.

These communication signals were treasonous intelligence that Hua Xiaobai wrote up in his spare time. Sending the treasonous intelligence to Perfect City was clearly a way of betraying Anthony!

Create chaos on the Northern Federation's defenses!

After doing all this, Hua Xiaobai subtly pressed the mechanism of the communication conch, turning off the internal sensing device.

That's all I can do.

It's almost time; it's time to head back to the fortress.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiaobai's eyes fell on Anthony's storage cabinet. These days, Hua Xiaobai did nothing but keep an eye on Anthony's treasure vault and even got Anthony's unlocking code. Now that he was going to run away, he would just rob his treasure vault clean!

When I, a nobody, go out to do something, I must first be true to myself. If I always come back empty-handed, who will compensate me for the grievances of being treated like a lackey by others?

I must demand it back tenfold, a hundredfold!

Hua Xiaobai opened the storage cabinet, destroyed the large items that couldn't be moved, and put the smaller ones into sacks. She cleaned them thoroughly, from top to bottom and inside to outside, leaving no stone unturned.

After taking care of the items, Hua Xiaobai arrived at the prison.

"This is Lord Anthony's order. I'm going to carry out a secret mission, and no one is allowed to be present!"

"yes!"

The Neanderthal warriors quickly left.

Inside the prison, the crew members who had fallen into poverty with Hua Xiaobai were all thrilled to see him arrive.

"Divas Hit the Road!"

"I knew Alliance Leader Hua wouldn't abandon everyone!"

"After being treated to good food and drink these past few days, are you finally leaving?"

"To be honest, this place is really nice. Except for the lack of girls, it's a paradise!"

Hua Xiaobai shouted at his crew, "Stop babbling! The game's been updated. The Neanderthals have changed their minds. Their avoidance strategy is gone, and a total annihilation war is about to begin! Run! If we don't run now, when Anthony comes back, we'll all be chopped into mincemeat!"

"Huh? The version was updated so quickly?"

"Retreat immediately!"

"Wait for me, Hua Zong!"

Shortly after, the back door of the Northern Federation Command Headquarters opened, and a giant beast pulled a sled-like war chariot out.

Snowflakes fluttered down as dozens of Homo sapiens crew members sat atop the ship, watching the command post recede into the distance behind them, each sighing with emotion.

"Young Master Hua, where are we going next?"

"Back to Fortress Seven! Head left! I remember the map showing that Fortress Seven is at the end of the left turn."

"Young Master Hua, what's that bulging package you're carrying for?"

"Lord Anthony knew I was leaving, so he specially gave me some souvenirs! They're all Neanderthal specialties, nothing special!"

"As expected of the top commander and strategist of the SLG game 'Land of Glory,' Hua Shao, you've managed to cultivate such a relationship with your enemies. You're incredibly shrewd!"

"Hahaha, you're too kind, you're too kind. We're all serving the Homo sapiens race! Lord Anthony can also see things from my perspective! Speaking of which, Lord Anthony and I really hit it off immediately. I believe we must have been family eight lifetimes ago, forty thousand years ago! Really, I'm so grateful to Lord Anthony. Without him, there would be no Hua Xiaobai today! If it weren't for the fact that we're not from the same race, I would even like to drag him into a sworn brotherhood, like the Peach Garden Oath! What a pity..."

A group of guys were frantically flattering Hua Xiaobai, little did they know that Hua Xiaobai was hopelessly directionally challenged. He was the kind of person who couldn't tell east from west, north from south, and south, and could even get lost on his way home from school! And you guys actually asked Hua Xiaobai to give you directions!

If Brother Eighty were here and saw Hua Xiaobai giving directions, he would definitely slap Hua Xiaobai across the face first. "You, a person with no sense of direction, are giving directions to your grandpa? Aren't you leading everyone into a pit?"

Fortunately, Brother Eighty wasn't here, and Hua Xiaobai was riding high, having successfully evacuated millions. Everyone was praising him, and Hua Xiaobai forgot that he had no sense of direction.

The cold wind howled as the giant sled rolled forward.

What Hua Xiaobai didn't know was that the direction he pointed with his left hand was precisely west!

To the west, there lies the Neanderthal headquarters—the perfect city!

Hua Xiaobai was completely unaware that he and his men were sprinting towards the City of Perfection at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour!

Having just escaped the wolf's den, they headed straight for the tiger's lair!

If the Sentinel were here, he would surely sigh deeply: the fake geniuses are Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but the real genius is Hua Xiaobai. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, he still ventures into the tiger's den. As long as he doesn't die, he'll go all out! Wherever there is danger, there is Hua Xiaobai!

Some people might say, "Hua Xiaobai is a true genius, so what are you, Sentinel? Aren't you a genius?"

Strictly speaking, Sentinel is not a genius; Sentinel is just a cheater.
