The red-faced general was Chu Xiong, the chief of staff of the Northern Military Region, with the rank of lieutenant general. He was an old general promoted by Chen Qiong. He had a tough and straightforward personality!

At this moment, after listening to Li Zhi's long speech, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he unleashed a torrent of abuse at Li Zhi.

Objectively speaking, Li Zhi's tactic was indeed feasible, but Chu Xiong simply couldn't accept his attitude.

When Li Zhi spoke of abandoning the Evolutionary Legion, his tone was so casual, so condescending, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him!

Those soldiers were living people, all of whom had made great contributions to the Northern Military Region!

Why should Li Zhi's single sentence allow these people to be discarded like garbage?

You abandon other people's lives, and then stand here casually talking about some bullshit voluntary sacrifice?

Li Zhi's face turned from green to red, and finally became gloomy. He glared at Chu Xiong and suddenly shouted, "Chu Xiong! I know you're not satisfied with me being the Chief, I know you've never accepted me! You were promoted by Chen Qiong, so you resent my promotion, I can understand! But I'm telling you, I'm now the Chief of the entire Northern Military Region, my words are law!"

"You can be dissatisfied with me, but you have no right to object to the orders I issue!"

Chu Xiong's anger flared even more upon hearing this. He pointed at Li Zhi's nose and cursed, "Bullshit! Do you think I'm opposing your decision now because of my political stance or personal grudges with you?"

"Do you think the reason you haven't been recognized in the Northern Military Region is just because you haven't achieved outstanding results and have always been suppressed by Chen Qiong?"

"I'm telling you, you're wrong!"

"You simply don't treat the soldiers below as your own men! You have no affection for the troops! You just treat these soldiers as tools and pawns for you to make contributions and build your career!"

"I'm telling you, if Chen Qiong were here today, he would do everything possible to protect his soldiers, instead of discarding them as useless pawns like you…"

Chu Xiong became more and more agitated as he spoke, his eyebrows raised, and spittle flying everywhere.

"Enough!" Li Zhi suddenly roared, interrupting Chu Xiong's words, his brow twitching violently, clearly furious to the extreme. "I'm not the same as Chen Qiong!"

"As long as the final combat mission can be completed, does it matter how the process is carried out?"

"As long as we can win the battle, does it matter if we have affection for the troops?"

"Does it matter if we treat soldiers as pawns or children?"

"I only pursue results in my work!"

"If you can accept my rhythm, then stay! If you can't accept it, you can take off your epaulets right now and go back to retire with Chen Qiong!" Li Zhi gasped heavily, staring at Chu Xiong with bloodshot eyes, and said, word by word, "The decision I've made will not change."

Chu Xiong gritted his teeth, wanting to continue arguing with Li Zhi, but some generals came over and dissuaded him.

Just as Li Zhi said, he was now in command of the Northern Military Region, and his decision was the highest command. Chu Xiong could express his opposition, but as long as Li Zhi didn't listen, it would be useless.

Of course, Chu Xiong could also just leave, but he couldn't get past the hurdle in his own heart. If he turned tail and ran now, it would be a very irresponsible act.

After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Xiong reluctantly endured it.

"Commander… we agree to deploy nuclear weapons, but we have a request, can we postpone the deployment time a little longer?"

At this moment, the generals spoke up, pleading, "What if a miracle happens? What if… we don't need to use nuclear weapons, and our Evolver Legion and Mech Warriors can defeat the Ocean Apostle?"

Li Zhi was about to refuse, but after a few seconds of silence, he said with a gloomy face, "At most, I'll delay it for another five minutes."

…

Cha Kaijin gasped violently, his combat suit was soaked in blood, and the arm gripping the steel blade was also trembling non-stop.

In the brief exchanges just now, he had almost died three times. If it weren't for the assistance of the Mech Warriors, he might have been reduced to bones long ago.

"This damn thing's Roaring Descent attack range is too large… if we don't control it, it will be difficult for us to get close." Cha Kaijin's face was pale, and he vomited another mouthful of blood. He had just dodged the Ocean Apostle's Shattering, but he couldn't dodge the opponent's Roar.

Although the power of Shattering Descent was formidable, at least the attack range was smaller, but Roaring Descent was centered on the Ocean Apostle, and enemies within a three-kilometer radius in all directions would be attacked. There was almost no possibility of dodging, and there was no other way but to resist it head-on.

And resisting a single Roar could result in broken bones and tendons at best, and direct death at worst.

In less than one hundred and eighty seconds of direct combat with the Ocean Apostle, the original Evolutionary Legion of nearly ten thousand had already lost nearly one-fifth of its numbers!

Boom!

A Mech Warrior came from the sky, and the giant spear in its hand slashed down at the Ocean Apostle like a heaven-splitting axe.

The Ocean Apostle twisted its huge body, and its giant tail directly rolled up the wreckage of a giant tank on the battlefield and flung it away, smashing it at the Mech Warrior like a cannonball.

Crack!

The Mech Warrior cut open the wreckage of the tank, but the next second, the Ocean Apostle's devastating Shattering Descent spread through the air, and countless cracks appeared in the air, instantly spreading to the Mech Warrior's body.

Crack…

A crisp sound of metal breaking rang out.

A crack appeared in the blade of the giant spear held by the Mech Warrior.

The Mech Warrior's arm armor shattered.

Thud!

The giant spear slammed heavily on the Ocean Apostle's goat head.

But due to the fact that it had first cut open the wreckage of the tank and then been covered by Shattering Descent, the Mech Warrior's strike did not inflict much damage on the Ocean Apostle after two weakenings, only severing the tip of the left horn of the goat head.

The female head attacked from a strange angle, directly biting the Mech Warrior, and then, together with the goat head, one on the left and one on the right, seemed to want to tear the Mech Warrior apart.

Seeing this, hundreds of evolutionary warriors jumped up and fired high-explosive bullets at the eyes and nostrils of the two heads, trying to rescue the Mech Warrior.

But immediately, the terrifying giant tail swung over, and the bodies of the hundreds of evolutionary warriors who were trying to rescue the Mech Warrior instantly exploded.

On the battlefield, the artillery fire from within the defense line continued to divide the battlefield.

And the Ocean Apostle single-handedly suppressed the transcendent combat power of the entire defense line, making it difficult for them to breathe.

This scene was completely seen by Li Zhi and the others in the command room.

"Miracles… are not possible." Li Zhi muttered to himself.

The generals behind him remained silent.

Li Zhi looked down at the time and said, "Four minutes left!"

Time passed by, and the situation on the battlefield became more and more tragic.

In the command room, almost no one believed that the Evolver Legion could turn the tide in the remaining four minutes.

Perhaps after four minutes, the entire battlefield would really be covered by nuclear missiles…

…

On the battlefield, the Ocean Apostle fought against the crowd, without the slightest sign of defeat, and instead became more and more ferocious.

It frantically roared, and its giant tail waved, turning a large number of evolutionary warriors into dust in front of it. Even the Mech Warriors were severely damaged, with only ten intact, and the remaining seven or eight were all scarred.

"Lowly creatures…" the Ocean Apostle's giant python head spoke, coldly and condescendingly.

At this moment, the temperature on the battlefield suddenly soared.

Another five Mech Warriors activated their Blazing state, burning with flames as they attacked the Ocean Apostle.

The Ocean Apostle did not take them seriously.

Even Mech Warriors in the Blazing state were no match for it.

But what the Ocean Apostle didn't notice was that among the five Mech Warriors burning fiercely, the shape of one giant spear was slightly different from the other four. The curvature of its blade was somewhat severe, and its color looked a little pale, looking like…

Like a sharp dragon tooth!

The five burning Mech Warriors attacked from different directions, and the Ocean Apostle moved its body, letting out an earth-shattering roar.

This scene was absolutely shocking. The giant spears in the hands of the five Mech Warriors tore through the air, slashing at the Ocean Apostle's three heads at supersonic speed.

Boom!

The Ocean Apostle curled up its body, and Shattering Descent instantly spread out from it as the center, rapidly spreading to the surroundings.

The current Ocean Apostle looked like a spider standing in a net, with countless spider web-like cracks frantically expanding in the air and on the ground.

All the evolutionary warriors who came into contact with these cracks were annihilated in an instant, without even having time to scream.

And the bodies of the five Mech Warriors also made sounds of unbearable twisting.

The Blazing mode itself caused very large damage to the mechs. In the high-temperature state, the body strength of the Mech Warriors would gradually decrease, and under the Shattering Descent invasion of the Ocean Apostle, one Mech Warrior's head exploded on the spot, looking extremely miserable.

Boom!

Finally, the Mech Warriors' attacks landed on the Ocean Apostle.

In the past, the giant spears of the Mech Warriors could only leave a scar that broke the skin on the Ocean Apostle's body at most, but in the Blazing state, the attack power of the Mech Warriors was greatly increased, and these five giant spears savagely pierced several meters into the Ocean Apostle's body.

The Ocean Apostle screamed in pain.

But at this moment, something even more unexpected happened.

Mech Warrior number 117 ejected a huge amount of compressed gas as propulsion, tightly gripping the giant spear in its hand and swinging it downwards. The blade of the giant spear savagely tore open the Ocean Apostle's thick scales, deeply penetrating into its flesh!

Mech Warrior number 117, from left to right, almost cut the Ocean Apostle's huge body in half. The powerful scales that could withstand armor-piercing rounds were easily cut open at this moment!

"Aoooo!"

The Ocean Apostle screamed in pain, and blood gushed out of its body like a giant fountain, as if a rain of blood had fallen on the entire battlefield!

"This… what's going on? Mech Warriors in the Blazing state actually have this kind of destructive power?"

In the command room, the generals widened their eyes, their voices filled with surprise.

Under this attack, the Ocean Apostle was severely injured, and its terrifying wound even revealed the ghastly bones inside!

Not only in the command room, but even Cha Kaijin and others on the battlefield were stunned.

They could see clearly that the five Mech Warriors in the Blazing state, but the other four did not have this kind of destructive power!

The Ocean Apostle was extremely angry. Its body twisted frantically, flinging away the five Mech Warriors, and then its three heads stared fixedly at the Mech Warrior who almost cut its body open. It quickly discovered the difference between its weapon and the other giant spears!

"That's… the Sky Apostle's third fang."
