Chapter 1402 The Betrayal

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The artillery fire still hadn't stopped, but instead grew fiercer. The enemy's firepower was so overwhelming that they had already sunk all the ships on the shore.

At this moment, the shouts of battle on the hillside shook the sky, and signal flares symbolizing the attack rose continuously, illuminating the night sky.

Immediately afterward, densely packed Hei Shui (Black Water) Legion soldiers, like a black tide, rushed down from the mountain. They didn't wear black cloth on their arms, but dazzling red ropes.

Bo Ang's eyes flashed with a hint of despair as he saw this scene.

Bargeman's mentality exploded. He grabbed the communication terminal and cursed into the Black Bear Regiment's channel, "Gielman, you damn bastard! You betrayed the Hei Shui Legion, you abandoned our honor! You lowly…"

Bargeman was indeed furious to the extreme, his language filthy and extremely harsh.

However, the Black Bear Regiment remained silent on the communication terminal, giving no response.

Bo Ang sat in his wheelchair, his expression extremely complex, clenching his fists without saying a word.

After a long time, the distant artillery fire gradually subsided, and then Gielman's solemn voice finally sounded on the communication terminal: "Warriors of the Hei Shui Legion, I am Gielman, commander of the Black Bear Regiment! At this moment, I only want to state one point. For the past three years, Bana City has enjoyed very stable security and a prosperous economy! But because of one person's desire, our beautiful hometown has been plunged into war again, which is unacceptable to me and my soldiers…!"

Many soldiers were touched by these words and couldn't help but fall silent.

Speaking, Gielman raised his voice a lot and said loudly: "I, on behalf of Chief Executive Bruna, hereby announce that all soldiers who lay down their weapons and withdraw from the battlefield will be pardoned! If you choose to continue fighting, you will be facing your own compatriots…"

Bo Ang's head buzzed when he heard these words, and he couldn't help but slump in his wheelchair, his expression somewhat dazed. In today's battle, this young Supreme Commander of the Hei Shui Legion had suffered too many blows.

Chief of Staff Bargeman's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed the terminal and roared, "Don't listen to the nonsense of this traitor! Hei Shui Legion soldiers only die in battle, they don't surrender! Flying Bear Regiment, get up there and hold them back! The remaining troops, continue to clear the waters and open up our escape route!"

"Da da da…"

"Boom, boom…"

The sounds of gunfire rang out again, lighting up the sky.

This battle lasted for nearly two hours. Because of Gielman's betrayal, Bo Ang's only escape route was blocked. The remaining White Bear Regiment and Flying Bear Regiment troops had to temporarily abandon the waterway and cover Bo Ang, while desperately fighting back, while retreating to another mountain next to them, using the mountain to block the Black Bear Regiment's attack.

In addition, the Laomo (Old Mexico) government army reinforcements in the city had arrived and joined the battlefield, and this war almost showed a one-sided trend.

At the same time, because Bo Ang's main force was attacked temporarily, a large number of military supplies were lost, and ammunition became less and less, so many soldiers gave up resistance.

Obviously, Gielman's words touched many people. Everyone recalled the past three years, and many people couldn't understand why such a war should be ushered in!

The sound of gunfire rose and fell. After leaving many corpses behind, Bo Ang led his remaining troops to retreat to the mountain in a disheveled manner. The soldiers took their positions one after another, setting up simple defenses.

Bo Ang asked his officers to count the number of people, and found that there were less than two thousand troops left in his hands. Among them, Horus, the commander of the White Bear Regiment, was killed in the retreat, and Oge, the commander of the Flying Bear Regiment, also had a leg blown off.

Almost all of those who survived were injured in various ways.

At this moment, they were an isolated army, trapped on this mountain. Looking around, there were dense searchlights below, gunshots rising and falling, and enemy troops were almost everywhere.

At this time, Gielman, who was at the foot of the mountain, took the communication terminal and shouted to the mountain: "This war that should not exist has sacrificed too many innocent lives! I don't want our brothers to continue to kill each other! I urge everyone to lay down their weapons and withdraw from the battle! You shouldn't be buried in such a meaningless place!"

Hearing the shouts from below, Bargeman was about to reply, but Bo Ang grabbed the communication terminal from his hand and directly said to Gielman: "Gielman, you were once the most valiant officer under my brother's command. I now invite you to come up and negotiate with me, are you willing?"

There was a moment of silence on the communication terminal, and Gielman said firmly: "Of course I am willing."

Bo Ang hung up the terminal, turned his head and ordered: "Make way for our Black Bear Regiment commander to come in!"

More than ten minutes later, there was movement on the mountain road. Gielman actually came to the mountain alone.

As soon as he entered the defense zone, a large group of excited soldiers immediately surrounded him.

"Kneel down! You damn traitor!"

"My brother died under your guns! Murderer!"

Many soldiers couldn't control their emotions and went up to beat Gielman.

Gielman remained silent, letting the angry fists and feet fall on his burly body. But after all, he was not made of steel, and he was soon beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face, covered in blood.

"Enough!"

Bo Ang watched for a long time, and at this time finally shouted back the soldiers: "Bring him over!"

Two soldiers carried Gielman over and made him kneel in front of Bo Ang.

Although he was covered in injuries, Gielman's eyes were still bright as he looked up to meet the young legion commander, who was also covered in dust.

After a moment of silence, Bo Ang finally asked: "I don't understand why you did this."

Gielman thought for a long time, slowly raised his arm, pointed to the northeast side of the canal, and said in a trembling tone: "In that direction, my most respected Commander Tagu, died in battle there. Before he died, he ordered me to lead the remnants of the Hei Shui Legion, leave Bana City, and seek support from Su Tianyu in the Laomo area. In that battle, we lost many people…"

Bo Ang clenched his fists, without responding.

Gielman looked at the canal, his eyes gazing into the distance, and said slowly: "Before leaving, His Excellency Tagu said something to me—he said that Orientals are natural politicians, and perhaps we should not be prejudiced against them. And in these three years, the political situation in Bana City has been stable and the economy has recovered. From my point of view, I don't want our nation to be divided again. Perhaps, you have higher ideals, and you are not willing to let a woman rule, and you are not willing to continue to depend on others and not be able to make your own voice heard. Everyone's experience is unique, I respect you, but I cannot agree with you. For your own regime, you actually allowed the Warhammer Armed Forces, who had massacred us, to step into this city again… This is unacceptable to me. Because they killed my brothers, my superiors…!"

Bo Ang's eyes showed a deep look of despair when he heard these words.

He finally understood that after Gielman obeyed Tagu's order and met Su Tianyu, the commander of the Black Bear Regiment no longer served the Hei Shui Legion, let alone the Bernardo family, but Su Tianyu.

Bo Ang had always thought that he had firmly controlled the Hei Shui Legion after three years of management, and that the Dragon City's political strategy was just to send a fat man to give his sister a love affair.

He didn't know that for Orientals, preventing problems before they happen is the basic skill of political textbooks. Su Tianyu always guards against petty people but not gentlemen. If he didn't have some bargaining chips, he would never watch the Hei Shui Legion expand endlessly in the past two years.

Bargeman couldn't listen anymore, he drew his gun with a snap, pointed it at Gielman's head, and cursed through gritted teeth, "You damn traitor, you betrayed the object of our oath! I'm going to kill you!"
