Resurrection Empire-Chapter 1036 - 403: Li Yang’s New Plan (2)
During a war, a super-large thermal flame missile launched by the Starfire Missile Army was intercepted halfway and prematurely detonated. The scattered thermal flames drew a parabolic arc in the air, precisely falling into a town, crashing down like a meteor shower, resulting in widespread devastation.
In this incident, sixty thousand people died.
A Ruined Beast army from the Mengdu Group was rushing to the battlefield and passed through a town along the way. The commander behind this Ruined Beast army thought a brief rest was necessary to restore the physical strength of the Ruined Beast and appropriately promote their evolution, so... 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
In this incident, there were more than eighty thousand casualties, and none of the townsfolk survived.
A certain settlement on Yuanjin Star had its shield dome broken during intense crossfire between the two sides, causing an air leak. In this incident, over three hundred thousand people died.
...
There are many such incidents.
Ren Zhong "cold-bloodedly" observed all this, watching humanity from a dual perspective of a bystander and a participant, experiencing disaster after disaster.
Every tragedy was directly associated with him, the commander of this Source Star Military Industry army.
Yet he was helpless.
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the war, Ren Zhong was tapping the tabletop with his fingers softly.
At this time, both armies had just encountered a super large-scale battle and were taking a brief rest.
Ren Zhong had a rare moment to breathe; he didn't need to exhaust himself simulating strategies on the sand table or conduct brainstorming meetings with the advisory group, nor did he need to constantly keep up with the ever-changing frontline intelligence via "WeChat" and "Dream Network."
But his mind was not relaxed; scenes of devastation played in his head like a carousel.
Ren Zhong occasionally placed his fingers on his chest.
He was weighing the situation.
He wondered if he should simply self-detonate, turning back time to a month ago using the power of time to alter the course of the war.
Perhaps killing Li Yang could slightly delay the outbreak of war, but after that...
Or maybe eliminating Li Yang, Hewitt, and Ying Hao completely could change the situation. But then everything he did before would have been in vain, and the Starfire Army would still lack the ability to counteract the ultimate weapon in the hands of the Frozen Elders.
No matter how hard he thought, he could only come up with palliative solutions.
Suddenly, Ren Zhong stood up abruptly from the sofa.
Just now, his "WeChat" communication system was taken over by external forces.
According to his program specifications submitted to the Deep Communication Group, only one type of person could instantly take over the highest authority—the Frozen Elder.
Sure enough, voices sounded in the WeChat communication.
"I am Ying Feng, founder of Source Star Military Industry."
"I am Barton Augustus, founder of the Mengdu Group."
These were two elderly voices, opening with clarity and decisiveness.
Next, these two forcibly halted the war in the name of the Supreme Elder Council.
Just as Li Yang had predicted, there were more than fifteen years until the great migration, and the recovery plan was far from complete, and the cosmic ship transformation project was also progressing inadequately. The Frozen Elder would not tolerate premature population cleansing.
If the two sides played out a full-scale conflict leading to widespread civil decay, even affecting the great migration plan, it wouldn't align with the Frozen Elder's expectations, so stopping it was inevitable.
Ren Zhong even knew that if Ying Hao hadn't been infiltrated and controlled by Li Yang and his thinking remained normal, a premature war wouldn't be ignited.
The essence behind the deaths of these billions was nothing more than Li Yang's "fishing game."
Sure enough, just when the order arrived, a colonial soldier pushed open the door to Ren Zhong's office.
This Armored Soldier had quietly separated from the Mengdu Group to join Ren's Group after Ren Zhong officially "sided" with Li Yang.
Others didn't quite understand why Ren Zhong would trust an outsider so much, but since Ren Zhong made his decision, others didn't question much.
"Mr. Ren, the master asked me to inform you that if you receive a solo summons from the Supreme Elder, you must inform him to bring him along as an attendant."
Ren Zhong nodded, "Alright."
...
However, Ren Zhong soon realized that Li Yang's plans fell through.
The nine Frozen Elders did not appear; instead, they dispatched a large number of Star Sky Level Professionals, who surpassed Level Nine, to appear in the skies above strategic locations, including Military Industry City, Mengdu City, Upper and Lower Origin Capital City, and Starfire Town.
