The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Chapter 6: Pride Part (K)

Ming Furo watched the extraordinary people rush in like wolves and hyenas, watched them die under the bombardment of the city defense artillery, die from the shooting of autonomous weapons, and die in her own hands.

She traveled back and forth among the six territorial cities, rushing to whichever place was in danger, and blocking wave after wave of deadly attacks.

This group of people simply don't take their own lives seriously. As long as they can break into the city, they will do whatever it takes, even if it means turning themselves into human ether bombs. Even if some of them run away and retreat, it is only to find a better opportunity to die next time.

If her defense system had not been completely indestructible, these six territorial cities would have been reduced to ruins within five minutes of the start of the war, and hundreds of thousands of innocent lives would have been meaninglessly annihilated in the fighting between the extraordinary people.

She had obviously done great things, but she just felt disgusting.

Because she didn't know what the meaning of this war was, and she didn't understand... why these people had suffered so many casualties but were still unwilling to stop.

It's like they are doing something absolutely right.

When the news of the attack on the three major port cities came, Ming Furo knew that the war was about to enter the next stage. She even breathed a sigh of relief that she didn't have to continue this meaningless massacre.

But when she arrived at the triumphant port city where the main force of the revolutionary army was concentrated, she was overwhelmed by the almost suffocating feeling of oppression.

Soldiers charging under artillery fire, sorcerers waving their staffs with determination in their eyes, spells covering the sky and the sun bombarded from the positions one after another. If there was no protection, even if only one tenth of the city fell, it would be a despairing destruction for the ordinary people living in this chaotic world.

So now, Ming Furo wants to end this absurd war in her own way.

These overly explosive remarks echoed in the three major port cities, and obviously had a remarkable effect. Whether it was the East Port dignitaries who were nervously watching the war, or the revolutionary soldiers who were risking everything on one throw, they all stopped what they were doing at that moment, as if the whole world had stopped for a few seconds.

"I will not and have no interest in lying to you. I just hope that you can recognize the truth of this war and take a good look at the evidence."

A huge light curtain appeared in the sky above the three major port cities, and the projected images were extremely clear, as if the scene was recorded from someone's perspective.

"Fink, Prism, Cuckoo, Petrel, North Wind... Why are they here? Aren't they on a special mission?"

Someone in the Revolutionary Army recognized the object recorded by this perspective and was extremely shocked. This elite team had quite a reputation within the Revolutionary Army. They were assigned a mission some time ago and left on the way to Donggang, but they have not appeared until now and no one knows where they have gone.

"Boss, do we really have to believe that Hydra?"

A young man "held up" this "perspective", or was recording something, and his entire face was reflected on the screen, looking extremely funny.

"This thing... seems to be problematic no matter how I look at it. We'll be in big trouble if we bring it back. Maybe that guy will use this thing to track us?"

"Don't even think about it. If he wanted to do something, our bodies would have probably become food for the monsters by now."

Captain Fink's voice came from outside the screen: "He must be serious. He is really showing goodwill to us."

The noble who was looking at the light curtain through the window crushed his expensive cane, and the warrior who thought he should not be bewitched by this false picture had his arm waving his weapon frozen in mid-air.

At the seaside, Xin suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"It's the metal object that Mr. Devil gave them..."

She quickly realized where Ming Fuluo's video came from, and further realized that if this video was just the beginning of Ming Fuluo's counterattack against the revolutionary army... then this woman, who was more sophisticated than any machine in the world, must have even more terrifying follow-up.

But...how could Miss Doll have any subsequent means of counterattack?

"But he said he didn't tamper with it... Do you believe him, boss?"

"I feel like there's no need for the regent to spend so much effort on us. At least I've checked back and forth almost twenty times, and I can't find any trace of magic at all."

Another voice came into the picture, equally young and energetic, and he even joked: "If that Hydra is taking so much trouble for us, shouldn't we feel honored?"

"Anser certainly didn't do anything to this detector."

Ming Fuluo's voice sounded at the right time: "Because he doesn't know exactly what this detector can do. These images were retrieved by me after I recovered it."

Although this is the fact, not many people in the revolutionary army would believe this explanation. But even so, in Ming Furo's opinion, it is not good to let Anser easily bear the false reputation of being untrustworthy.

This was what annoyed her the most about the little devil. This cunning behavior, which seemed sincere but was actually another trap, had caused her enough trouble before. As a result, she had to prove his innocence at such a serious moment... However, although she was annoyed, Miss Ming Fuluo still emphasized this very seriously.

The sound and picture on the screen were still playing. Fink seemed to have walked away for something. The other people in the team were tinkering with the detector, and their faces appeared on the screen in turn.

"This thing...how was it made? Is that Zeg really a human? Prism, you are also an alchemist, what do you say?"

"Me? If you ask me... I really want to dismantle it right now and study it, but the boss doesn't agree."

"Let the boss ask Lord Leng Zhu, and after we bring this thing back, we'll let you join the research."

"Then I'm far from it. I can't even find the ether circuit for this thing. Am I supposed to study the air?"

"Idiot, I'm giving you this opportunity to get acquainted with our great alchemists who are invisible all year round. Who asked you to really study--"

"Guys...I have some bad news."

Fink's voice came closer again, and everyone could hear his solemnity.

"Just say it directly. No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than our current situation. We were just released from prison in disgrace."

"So the worse news is that we have to go back. To be more precise... we have to stay in Donggang."

"Stay, stay?!"

The picture suddenly shook, and then remained motionless facing the overgrown ground. No one appeared in the picture anymore, it was just frozen there, silently recording the noisy sounds.

"We are about to leave East Harbor. How can we go back? How can we stay in East Harbor? Hydra knows about our existence. If we are caught by him again, will he still be so generous?"

"Damn it, if he was so generous, he would have communicated with us long ago. Why did he wait until now to rely on us to contact the legion commanders to deal with Ivora?"

Regardless of whether it was true or false, the information conveyed in the words was enough to bring the war to a standstill - first it was Anser's goodwill towards the revolutionary army, and now it was the even more incredible "united revolutionary army to fight against Ivora". No matter whether it was the nobles or the revolutionary army, they could no longer maintain the mentality of simply participating in the war to face everything in front of them.

Ming Furo was not worried about whether this would affect Ansel's plan. Regardless of whether his intention was true or false, or whether Ivora posed a threat to him, as long as the war could end smoothly, there was no need to say which side the revolutionary army would stand on in the end.

"You're not the kind of person who wants to make a great contribution and take us back with you to die, Boss, so this is..."

"The mission of Lord Leng Zhu."

Fink's deep voice echoed over the three territorial cities. All those who were familiar with Fink could not convince themselves that the voice was fake.

The image only reflected the soil, weeds, and a few pairs of boots. The human voice was lost, leaving only the occasional breeze blowing through, causing branches and leaves to collide, and the sound of the rising and falling tides hitting the rocks.

After half a minute, someone said, "Then let's go back?"

"Since it is the order of Lord Leng Zhu, then let's go back... There is always a way, right?"

"Haha, maybe I can really make a great contribution! After we take over Donggang, I will let my Naler live in the best house!"

"Good idea. Then I'll ask Lord Leng Zhu to find me a wife with a big butt."

"Damn it, Beifeng, you are such a loser."

No one questioned why Fink returned to East Port when he had already escaped safely. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly became hot. The young people who were headed to their deaths before the war even started laughed and played, imagining a future that they knew they could not have.

"The more information we get here, the better our chances of winning the war."

Fink's hoarse voice drowned out the laughter of others: "I don't know what you think, but I think... it's worth it."

As he said this, a fallen leaf floated into the camera. The boot closest to the camera moved and stepped on it into the gray-black soil.

The scene ends here.

"Is it worth it?" Ming Fuluo's cold voice echoed over the harbor city. "Does your leader really think that a small team of third-level extraordinary people can obtain important intelligence from the entire East Port, which is almost fully armed by me?"

"There are no reinforcements, no supplies, no information, no help. They just come to Donggang to die. They also know that they come to Donggang to die, but they have no choice. We can only say that it is all worth it."

Even though the two sides are on different sides now, anyone with normal logic can understand that, assuming this footage is not fake, Team Fink's situation is absolutely abnormal.

Just as Ming Fuluo said, the decisive battle is approaching, and without any help, who would make such an absurd decision for no reason?

It was absurd in itself to send this team to Donggang to gather intelligence. What was even more absurd was that they had obviously returned with something of sufficient value, whether it was the strange detection device or Ansher's kindness, both were extremely valuable, but the decision makers still ordered them to go to their deaths again.

Even a noble who knew nothing about strategy would not do such a thing, and the high-ranking officials of the revolutionary army who launched resistance in various parts of the empire would never assign such a mission that was tantamount to killing.

Xin paid attention to Ming Fuluo's performance while looking for Anser's trace.

She found that her perception of Anser seemed to be becoming more and more limited. She used to be able to accurately locate Mr. Devil's position from an unknown distance, but now she was a little uncertain about Anser's position even in the same city.

If it were normal, she might sigh that Mr. Devil was getting stronger every day, but now, her attention was all on Ming Furo.

"This kind of words...can't convince them."

The Saint Lady followed Ansher's breath and came to the council hall of Triumph Port City. The palace-like hall was empty except for one person sitting on the extremely luxurious throne at the end, as if he was sitting in the most honorable seat in the entire theater.

Xin stood at the entrance of the hall and made eye contact with the most distinguished guest of the drama, who smiled and raised his glass towards her, as if inviting her to take a seat and enjoy this wonderful drama together.

Miss Doll also knew that this would not convince them, so what exactly was she planning to do?

"So, that's all?"

The hoarse and unpleasant sound of Huo Yao tore through the silence of the battlefield, and even the raging flames that burned him rekindled the war that had just been extinguished.

"You want to slander our leader, one of the founders of the new world, with this kind of illusion that any illusionist could create and this ridiculous script written by a third-rate playwright?"

He laughed heartily, and the revolutionary soldiers laughed along with him.

Their sarcastic and contemptuous smiles penetrated the thick city walls, through the barriers that countless spells and swords could not penetrate, and fell with twelve thousand points of mockery on the weak man who hid behind the protection like a coward and tried to stop their advance with these nonsense.

The laughter gradually died down, and Huo Yao looked down at the entire Triumph Port City from a high place. His skin and muscles were carbonizing and then peeling off bit by bit, and the white bones were already visible on his face and limbs, but his voice did not waver at all because of the pain brought by this flesh.

"Even if we take a step back and say that these images are real, you cannot use them to slander Lord Leng Lu, and you are not qualified to... tarnish Fink and his men's determination!"

The raging flames on his body exploded, and his entire body turned into a flaming giant in the air. The giant's low and angry roar caused waves in the sea on the other side of the port city, and created layers of ripples on the shield.

"Have you ever experienced the anger of having all your efforts and sweat trampled on and plundered? Do you know the despair of being unable to protect your family after being servile for half your life? Have you seen the hellish scene of hundreds of people being soaked in jars as materials? Can you understand the cruelty and malice of this world? Can you understand... the belief of us who have survived this cruelty and malice to open up a new world at all costs!"

The fire giant roared to the sky, and the revolutionary soldiers also roared. Yes, in their eyes, this was a noble and just war that must not be tarnished.

How could someone like Mingflora Zeg, a little girl who relied on Hydra's endless resources to play house games in East Harbor and couldn't even accept death, have the qualifications to... judge Fink's death as meaningless from a high position? !

"You don't care if my people live or die, or why they die."

Huo Yao said word by word, "Ming Fuluo Zeger, you are just arrogant. You are arrogant enough to think that all of us are wrong and only you are right."

"You are so arrogant...are you qualified to prove to us who is right and who is wrong?"

"Stop your boring tricks. If you still want to save face in front of your master, be prepared to die here and fight us to the end!"

In an instant, the shadow of the Iron Demon descended here.

Huoyao's pupils in the skull of the fire giant shrank to the limit, because he, because everyone knew what this steel body in front of him with arms outstretched, like a god descending to the earth, was.

Huo Yao wanted to make amends, but his instinct told him not to move, because he was unable to make any so-called remedies. In front of this beam of black light, he could only accept the most equal destruction.

The creation called Deus Ex Machina raised the arm that served as the muzzle of the gun, and the black light of the end expanded to its limit in an instant, and then shrank to a tiny point that was invisible to the naked eye in an instant.

There was no roar, no explosion, just like a brush dipped in pure black paint was roughly and cleanly drawn across the canvas. A ray of black light penetrated the center of the revolutionary army formation, reducing all existence that touched it to nothingness.

"You know why I didn't start saying these words just now? Because I knew you wouldn't listen."

After firing this shot, the mechanical deity disappeared. Ming Furo strictly abided by the rules of this war. Even that shot was fired with a lethality that was suppressed to below level five.

“So, I hope you can understand one thing.”

Countless iron-gray particles condensed in the air, but did not form a human shape, but a huge eye.

That eye looked down at the devastated battlefield, and Ming Fuluo's voice came from it:

"I don't want to kill anyone, I just don't want to continue doing meaningless things, not because of cowardice or fear."

"If I have to kill more people to make you listen to me quietly, then I don't mind killing more, and..."

The huge eyes with deep purple pupils slowly shifted their gaze to the fire giant.

“Before asking others to stop playing tricks, it is better to stop your own tricks first.”

"While I was talking, and while you were speaking passionately, how many people have sneaked into the city, planning to launch a surprise attack on the people who control the city defenses and the armory?"

At this moment, Huo Yao's emotions finally began to fluctuate greatly and he couldn't control them.

The death of his comrades and the destruction just now did not cause a huge fluctuation in his mood, but this sentence made the fire giant maintained by Huoyao slightly unstable.

Because Ming Fuluo hit the core of their tactics, the key to this war.

——That is to rely on the top-secret intelligence obtained from the Dark Leader, so that the most elite decapitation team can use special methods to cross the barriers and city defenses, and directly launch a surprise attack on the guards who control the city defenses and the most core armory.

To a certain extent, their "main force" that launched the first attack was even a bait. In order to ensure that the more than ten decapitation teams could pass through the city defenses, they listened obediently to Ming Furo's "nonsense" just now, but it was also because it was exactly what they wanted. Even Huo Yao's remarks just now... most of them were to further delay time.

But...but how could she know? Could it be that those rumors -

"If this is what you rely on... then I am very happy."

In the three port cities of Triumph Port City, Deep Blue Port City, and Dream Port City, twelve teams of elite soldiers who had recorded all the information about the city defense in their minds quietly passed through the beheading team of the barrier city defense. They thought they had successfully entered the territory city, and before they even had time to observe the surrounding scenery—

Space blockade, ether consolidation, soul shock, illusion impact... Hundreds of third-level warlocks madly poured out various spells. At the same time, the fixed turrets, which were more numerous than the warlocks, and the firepower network woven by the autonomous artillery tore through other spells, bringing inevitable death.

The moment all the decapitation teams passed through the city defenses, they did not even enter the corresponding city.

Instead, he was directly teleported to... the slaughterhouse prepared by Ming Furo!

The weak little girl, the arrogant bird in a cage cast an extremely indifferent look at the enemy in front of her.
