A flicker of pain crossed Hadley's eyes, but his grip remained firm.
"I can only apologize, but I really cannot agree with the Sarkaz's idea of exchanging war for peace. I also hope that the Sarkaz can have peace and their own homeland."
But war cannot bring these things. The Sarkaz race is already teetering on the edge of an abyss. Too many Sarkaz simply cannot comprehend the meaning of war; they are merely puppets of it, swept along by its current forces.
Manfred turned his head forcefully, but being pinned to the ground, he couldn't see Hadley's expression at all.
He also couldn't see the guilt in Hadley's single eye for his betrayal.
Manfred was filled with nothing but anger.
"I say, how long are you two going to keep being all lovey-dovey?"
W's distinctive sarcasm came through: "Why just a uniform? If you ask me, it would be better to just stab this guy in the heart."
If you, Hedley, can't bear to do it, I can do it for you. One bomb will easily take care of this general, guaranteeing him a painful and gruesome death that will terrify even children.
“Shut up.” Hedley glared at W. “He’s more useful alive than dead. Men, tie him up.”
When the others came and tied Manfred up, Hedley turned away, not daring to look Manfred in the eye.
He could feel the burning gaze on his back, as if it wanted to stare two bloody holes through his body.
Hedley could only focus his attention on the battle.
As he revealed his identity, some of the mercenaries immediately realized what was happening and followed Hadley in switching sides, but a considerable number of mercenaries became enraged and continued their resistance.
The chaos here quickly drew attention on the battlefield.
The morale of the Sarkaz regulars, which had just begun to recover, plummeted again, even more severely than before.
At the crucial moment, it was that sharp-eyed Sarkaz who stepped forward, roaring like a savior:
"Don't give up, we still have hope! I just saw His Highness the Regent!"
"real?!"
This time, the Sarkaz were truly excited.
Tracy's identity is more inspiring than Manfred's.
When the Sarkaz faced the crisis of national extinction when the allied forces destroyed Kazdel, it was Theresis and the other six Sarkaz heroes who stepped forward to preserve the last embers of Sarkaz.
Theresis was no less significant to the Sarkaz than a god.
The Sarkaz who had spoken was visibly excited, pointing in a direction from his high vantage point:
"Right there, right behind that damned golden pegasus, I just saw His Highness the Regent flash by!"
Sarkaz spoke loudly in order to get the message out.
So much so that even their rival, Marner, heard it.
He turned his head to look behind him, and immediately locked onto a scent that was being tried to be concealed.
Tracy: "..."
His blade, already half-drawn, stopped abruptly. He stared in astonishment and disbelief at the Sarkaz who had exposed his location.
Both Marna and Therese were locked in a stalemate.
On the battlefield, Marna's teammates and the Sarkaz reacted, but instead of immediately attacking or dodging, they all turned to look at the Sarkaz who had loudly revealed Theresis's whereabouts.
Chapter 644 I really am Qi Yan
"White-haired dog, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Qi Yan lay on the rooftop at the edge of the battlefield, peeking out half his head to observe the situation.
As Mudrock summoned the colossal colossus, he had already wielded a Doctor in his left hand and a Fester in his right, and in a few swift movements, he leaped from the Highbury District factory to the edge of the battlefield.
The Doctor glanced around the battlefield and found that Rhodes Island and the Self-Rescue Army had almost the upper hand, which gave him a headache.
"I wasn't planning to win. I clearly set a goal for myself beforehand based on your 'inevitable loss' rule, so why did I still have to win?"
The Doctor scratched his head through his hood and said helplessly, "You think of a way to force Rhodes Island to retreat. I need to leave the battlefield and wait for those old silver coins to make their move."
"Then... I should join the Sarkaz?"
Qi Yan had no plans to ask the doctor, since he figured the doctor might not understand anyway.
The doctor nodded and pointed to the battle situation on Marna's side:
"Based on my assessment, if the Sarkaz over there gain the upper hand, they can effectively turn the tide. Go and cause some trouble for Marna..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, he saw a Sarkaz soldier jump to a high place, point behind Marna, and shout:
"Right there, right behind that damned golden pegasus, I just saw His Highness the Regent flash by!"
Fester: ? ? ?
Without any hesitation, the Doctor and Fester simultaneously turned to look at Qi Yan.
"No, why are you looking at me?" Qi Yan was even more confused.
The doctor gasped, glancing left at Sarkaz, then right at Qi Yan, then back at Sarkaz, and then back at Qi Yan.
Seeing Qi Yan's bewildered look, the doctor suddenly pointed at his nose and hissed:
"Hey, you shapeshifter, you actually fooled me!"
Qi Yan: "..."
Fester was even more direct, pulling out his wrench and striking Qi Yan on the head from behind.
Qi Yan dodged the attack by flipping over and said urgently:
"No, I didn't! I really am Qi Yan! You have to believe me!"
"If you are Qi Yan, how do you explain that Sarkaz?" The Doctor hid behind Fester, confidently stating, "Who else on this land could do such a thing besides you?"
Qi Yan: "..."
"Fine, fine, you idiot, you're playing like this, aren't you?" Qi Yan was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh.
As he spoke, Qi Yan jumped up on the spot, no longer bothering to hide his figure.
The moment he was exposed, Marna and Therese also made their moves at the same time.
Realizing his sneak attack had failed, Therese decisively changed tactics, choosing to use his own strength to forcefully suppress Marna.
A terrifying killing intent locked onto Marna, causing her to gasp for breath.
He realized that he was facing the strongest opponent he had ever encountered in his life.
Golden light rained down, dyeing the world with a dazzling brilliance, and the wandering swordsman swung his longsword forward.
But the moment Marna made his move, a resounding clang of a blade leaving its sheath echoed through the heavens and earth.
Golden rain hung suspended in mid-air. Time seemed to have been paused in Marna's eyes. The world became incredibly quiet, with only the long, sharp sound of a blade being drawn standing out.
A red knife slices through the golden rain.
Suddenly, Marner heard another sound, a heartbeat as loud as war drums, his own heartbeat, a warning from his soul in the face of a life-or-death crisis.
At such moments, Marner couldn't help but start having wild thoughts:
"If it weren't for that Sarkaz's warning, I would have died if he had ambushed me."
The knight's longsword blocked Sarkaz's blade, but was lightly struck, the blade shattering, and Sarkaz's sword continued forward.
Marna seemed to hear again the long sigh her father had uttered before his death.
His own sigh overlapped with the long sigh he remembered.
A faint golden light emerged from Marna's arm, and the broken blade, imbued with that tiny yet resilient light, moved forward little by little.
The broken sword once again blocked Sarkaz's blade.
Marna could clearly see Therese's face so close to hers, and the admiration and regret that flashed in his eyes.
An immense force traveled from the sword to Marna's arm and then spread throughout his body.
Unsurprisingly, Marna was sent flying backward, crashing into the building behind her in a sorry state.
Therese stopped where Marna had been standing and did not pursue.
His injuries already prevented him from exerting his full strength; at this moment, his internal organs felt like they were on fire, and a faint, sweet, metallic taste of blood filled his mouth.
But none of these are the fundamental reasons why Therese gave up the pursuit.
He turned his head to look at the edge of the battlefield.
"Damn it, Theresis, how dare you cut my horse?!"
Qi Yan's angry roar echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
At that moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Qi Yan as he jumped off the roof.
Some began to despair, some breathed a sigh of relief, and some were overjoyed...
A torrent of emotions erupted on the battlefield, all because of Qi Yan's appearance.
Before Qi Yan could finish speaking, another angry roar echoed throughout the entire battlefield:
"Don't believe it, everyone! This guy is a shapeshifter in disguise! Everyone, get out of here!"
The shapeshifters who were playing a game with Shuiyue all tilted their heads, their faces filled with confusion.
Whether Qi Yan's words were true or false, the shapeshifter knew better than anyone else.
The PhD knows this better than anyone else.
But this did not affect the doctor's performance.
He stood on the rooftop, shouting continuously down at the battlefield below:
"Retreat! Retreat immediately! Qi Yan is a fraud!"
"I am real!"
Qi Yan was so angry that he jumped up and down: "I'm going to beat up Teacher Da Te right now to show my identity!"
"Then just kill Theresis!" the doctor retorted, pushing his luck.
"If I kill him, who will send me resources and food?" Qi Yan retorted angrily.
"You still insist you're not a shapeshifter!" the doctor roared. "What's wrong with Theresis? Why would she send you these things?"
Qi Yan: "..."
Tracy: "..."
"Don't believe him, everyone!" Qi Yan shouted, pointing at the Doctor. "He's the one who's a shapeshifter in disguise. Otherwise, why would Rhodes Island, with all the advantages, choose to retreat?"
"Because the news is fake, the city defense command headquarters has no intelligence on the supply lines at all!" the doctor said casually.
Hilton was dumbfounded when she was stealing information from the command headquarters system.
"You're lying!" Qi Yan shouted.
"You're the one lying!"
"I, Qi Xiaobai, never lie!"
"Go ahead and say, 'I, Qi Yan, never lie!'"
On the battlefield, the two argued back and forth, their heads swaying back and forth like human fans in the order they spoke.
Whether it was because they were shaking too fast or because each of them had their own reasons, both sides felt dizzy.
They can't tell the difference, they really can't tell the difference!
"Retreat. Amiya needs to rest."
Kal'tsit's calm voice suddenly came through the communication channel between Rhodes Island and the Self-Rescue Army.
The self-rescue forces were still a bit slow to react, but the people of Rhodes Island immediately knew what to do.
Given that Amiya is involved, and Qi Yan was crushed by Kal'tsit and the Doctor with a two-to-one vote, retreating is the right choice.
As soon as Rhodes Island retreated, the Self-Rescue Army immediately chose to follow.
The doctor was about to continue challenging Qi Yan when Fester picked him up around the waist, carried him on his shoulder, and used a zipline to quickly head towards his own team.
