Chapter 112

"Today, the Marine Apostle must be killed!"

Li Zhi's cold voice echoed in Chakajin's headset.

Chakajin was stunned, almost disbelieving his ears.

Intercept the Marine Apostle?

Kill the Marine Apostle?

With this exhausted evolutionary army?

Is this a dream?

"The evolutionary army is unable to continue fighting! We cannot execute your order!" Chakajin took a deep breath and replied in a deep voice, "If I remember correctly, the Northern Territory Military Region's mission is to defend the T-119 line, and now that the beast tide has retreated, we don't need to pursue!"

Normally, Chakajin might not speak to Li Zhi like this, because after all, Li Zhi is the supreme commander of the Northern Territory. Under the unified military power policy, Chakajin also respected his superiors.

But after a bloody battle, the entire evolutionary army was almost defeated, and Li Zhi still demanded that they continue fighting and pursue the Marine Apostle...

Doing so would only increase casualties and have no other effect!

In the beast tide protecting the Marine Apostle's departure, there were still a large number of subordinate sequence followers. The evolutionary army simply couldn't kill them!

"This is my order, no need to explain to you, I order you to immediately pursue the Marine Apostle!" Li Zhi said directly, "If we don't seize this opportunity to kill the Marine Apostle, it will soon make a comeback!"

Chakajin wanted to say something, but Li Zhi directly hung up the communication with him.

"Go to hell!" Chakajin said "hello, hello" a few times, and after finding that he couldn't get a response from Li Zhi, he angrily tore off his headset and threw it on the ground, roaring, "Whoever wants to chase can chase! I'm not going anyway!"

But at this moment, Chakajin found that more and more evolved soldiers were standing up beside him, even though they were exhausted, they still raised the steel knives in their hands.

They were all evolved soldiers from the Northern Territory Military Region.

"What are you doing? Are you going to carry out that idiot commander's order?" Chakajin was stunned for a moment, and then厉声said, "You know, we have completed the defense mission! Now continuing to chase after them is meaningless except for courting death!"

"..." An evolved soldier was silent for a moment, then said, "A soldier's duty is to obey orders."

"We don't need to know whether this order is stupid or smart. As long as the superior issues it, we must complete it!"

As the evolved soldier spoke, he raised his steel knife and ran forward. More and more evolved soldiers joined in, chasing in the direction of the retreating beast tide.

"Regiment commander... what, what should we do?" At this time, a pioneer came and stood in front of Chakajin, asking tentatively.

"Ignore them, let them go if they want to die!" Chakajin's eyes were fierce, and he waved his hand impatiently.

Tap tap tap!

The sound of evolved soldiers running in formation came from a distance. Chakajin turned his head away from their backs, covered his ears with his hands, and cursed in a low voice, "So damn noisy!"

Dozens of pioneers stood in front of Chakajin, looking at each other.

Silence.

Still silence.

"Ahhh! Damn it! We've fought side by side, after all, I still can't watch them go to their deaths!" Chakajin suddenly jumped up, his scarlet eyes staring, his already exhausted body stood up again, gripping the steel knife tightly, and striding towards the evolved soldiers in front of him: "Keep up!"

Dozens of pioneers turned around and said in unison, "Yes!"

In the sky, eight battered mecha warriors cut through the sky, chasing after the Marine Apostle's retreat like cannonballs.

...

"Why let the evolutionary troops pursue? They have obviously completed their mission, haven't they?"

In the command room, the generals' eyes widened after hearing Li Zhi's new order, very angry and puzzled.

"Don't you really want them to survive?"

"Are you satisfied only after depriving them of all their chances of survival?"

Faced with the generals' questioning, Li Zhi's face was extremely gloomy.

"You have already seen the horror of the Marine Apostle. Although it has been severely damaged, it will come back at any time after it recovers!"

"At that time, who can resist it again?"

"If we don't take this opportunity to kill it now, will we still have such good luck when it comes next time?"

Li Zhi's voice was sharp, and he glared at the generals below: "I not only demand that the evolutionary troops pursue it, but I also demand that the main force of the entire defense line come out in full force!"

"I want to wipe out the Marine Apostle race in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Li Zhi said this, the entire command room was silent.

No one thought that Li Zhi would be so bold. What he valued was not just a Marine Apostle, but he wanted to wipe out the entire race on this battlefield!

"No! That's too risky!"

"The mission of the Northern Territory Legion is to defend, not to attack. I absolutely disagree with the attack plan!"

The generals spoke out in opposition.

No one noticed that Li Zhi's expression was becoming more and more ugly, and his expression was becoming more and more gloomy.

His thoughts were naturally different from those of these generals.

He was planning to use this war as his claim to fame, with the goal of making a splash.

And in order to achieve this goal, "successfully completing the defense mission" was obviously not enough to satisfy him; "destroying an apostle" or "destroying an apostle's race" was his pursuit in this war.

This is why he had previously insisted so firmly on launching nuclear weapons to cover the battlefield.

So far, Li Tianran is the only person in the entire human world who has successfully killed an apostle.

Who is Li Tianran?

Governor of Kuangxi Island, commander-in-chief of the Human Coalition, is the well-deserved number one!

If Li Zhi could accomplish the same feat as him, then let alone the first seat of the Northern Territory Military Region, even the second-in-command seat of the Human Coalition, he could sit with peace of mind!

With such achievements, what would Chen Qiong, Zhang Shoucheng and other veteran generals be in front of him?

With such opportunities, who would dare to criticize him when he makes any decisions or issues any orders in the future?

Who would dare to curse at him like Chu Xiong just now?

These veteran soldiers, at that time, I am afraid that they would not even have the courage to look directly at themselves!

Li Zhi looked at the generals who were expressing their opposition, and the irritability in his heart became more and more intense.

In fact, from an outsider's point of view, the opinions raised by these generals were very pertinent. They did not say that because Li Zhi was young and had just taken office, it was difficult to convince the public. These veteran generals deliberately came up with a bunch of opposing opinions to go against him.

The starting point for all the suggestions made by these generals was "stability"!

But in Li Zhi's view, who was eager to establish his career and prove himself at this time, and wanted to control everything in the Northern Territory Military Region and gain a firm foothold, these generals were deliberately making trouble for himself.

They opposed his proposal to use nuclear weapons to bombard the battlefield.

The Marine Apostle was seriously injured, and they still opposed his proposal to take advantage of the situation and eliminate this great enemy in one fell swoop.

What are these people thinking?

"Enough." Li Zhi's voice was gloomy, interrupting the generals' speeches. He looked over the crowd and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, follow the order!"

"The Third and Fourth Brigades stay in the defense line to provide remote fire support."

"Except for these two brigades, all brigades are dispatched!"

Li Zhi's attitude was extremely firm. Seeing this, the generals felt their hearts were bleeding.

Now it is too risky for the main force to leave the defense line rashly, but Li Zhi is the supreme commander, who dares to disobey his order at this time?

Even Chu Xiong was almost dismissed by Li Zhi on the spot just now!

These generals are not afraid of losing their official positions. They are just afraid that if Li Zhi removes them and replaces them with a new and inexperienced person to command the army, the loss will be even more惨重once an accident occurs!

"Yes!" Helpless, the generals had to obey Li Zhi's order and prepare to lead their respective brigades to the outside of the defense line.

The generals walked out of the command room. Just before they were about to walk out of the door, Li Zhi suddenly spoke again faintly.

"I want to ask you a question..."

The generals stopped.

"If it was Chen Qiong who issued these two orders today to cover the battlefield with nuclear weapons and pursue the remnants of the Marine Apostle in full force, would you still oppose it so strongly?" Li Zhi turned to look at the generals and asked word by word: "Ask yourself, did you really have any personal emotions mixed in when you expressed your opposition just now?"

Chu Xiong sneered: "If Chen Qiong was here today, he would not have issued such an order at all!"

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and stared at Chu Xiong for a long time, then turned his head and continued to look at the battlefield satellite screen.

"Yes, I am completely different from Chen Qiong."

"That's why he became the first seat of the Northern Territory at the age of sixty."

"That's why he has never had any dazzling achievements in his life, very mediocre."

Listening to Li Zhi's words with a hint of sarcasm, Chu Xiong frowned and said in a deep voice: "Chen Qiong has indeed not had any dazzling achievements in his life, but he has not made any mistakes either. The Northern Territory Military Region in his hands is like a solid iron plate, and there has never been any problem."

"Not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes... what an old and pedantic way of thinking." Li Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, looking directly at Chu Xiong: "I tell you, I will never make the same decision as Chen Qiong."

"I will make the Northern Territory Military Region the most dazzling one among the four major military regions in my hands!"

Chu Xiong stared at Li Zhi for a long time. He no longer continued to argue with Li Zhi, because it was completely meaningless.

Chu Xiong's eyes became helpless.

For a person who is eager to prove himself, any well-intentioned advice will become a stumbling block in his eyes.

Chu Xiong turned and walked out of the command room, leaving only one sentence.

"I only hope that the Northern Territory Military Region will not be destroyed in your hands, that's enough."
