The entire workshop fell into a mysterious silence. The air was crackling like dry ice. While the two invincible experts were still pondering in shock, the disciples behind them were all seething with fury.

“Asshole!”

“Shameless!”

A traitor of the family! “How dare you! Are you not scared of death?” The young and childish members of the Song family all unsheathed their swords and even aimed their guns at Song Bugui and his eldest son.

The eldest son’s face was pale and feeble.

Song Bugui’s lips curled into a sneer of disdain. He didn’t even spare a glance at the juniors of his family and kept rubbing the artery on his neck, as if he were picking the most suitable place for the two invincible experts.

The two elders of the Song family looked at each other in bewilderment. Their faces were gloomy, and they did not draw their sabers for a long time.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The quakes inside and outside of the starship were getting louder and louder.

Very soon, Song Bugui’s crystal processor beeped. He took out a few surveillance videos unhurriedly and showed them to his opponent. They were the wrecked engine compartment and the meeting room that was about to explode, proving that he was not lying.

The two elders of the Song family craned their necks and observed for a long time. Thick veins were bulging on their forehead and neck, too.

“Do you really—”

Elder Song Feibao, who was of a lower level, hesitated. “Contact with Lei Chenghu?” “Of course.”

Song Bugui sneered, “Otherwise, what would I be doing? Joking with the heads of thousands of my family members? However, communication is communication. From what I’ve heard, we are not the only ones who have been contacted. Otherwise, how could so many starships and Giant God Soldiers of the Heaven’s Origin Fleet collapse and fail without any effective resistance? Ladies, the position of the revolutionaries is limited. Only the first insurrection on the battlefield is valuable. The hundredth insurrection will be boring, won’t it?”

“But,”

Song Chenglong, another elder, said, “Our family members are all in the Yellow Dragon World. What will happen to them when the news is out?”

“My family is in the Yellow Dragon Sector, too. Therefore, I should make a quick decision and resolve the chaotic situation right now. Then, I should march into the enemy’s base and slay the false emperor and the false marquis. I should rescue our family and become the greatest contributor to the new empire!

Song Bugui smiled and said, “Rest assured, both of you. Lei Chenhu, the marquis of the Distant Sea, and I have come up with a foolproof plan. If everything goes well, we will be able to drink to our heart’s content in the palace of Yellow Dragon in seven days, if not five.”

“This… You…” The two elders of the Song family sighed again and again. They looked at Song Bugui, who was kneeling on one of his knees in a seemingly respectful manner, again and again. In the end, they shook their heads helplessly and gestured for their disciples and grand-disciples to put down their swords and sabers. “No. We always thought that you were an honest man.

The two elders of the Song family smiled bitterly at the same time.

“I am indeed an honest man.

Song Bugui smiled bitterly, too. There was sarcasm deep inside his eyes. “But as honest as I may be, I am still an Immortal Cultivator!”

Five minutes later, on Lei Chenghu’s flagship, the crystal camera around the boxing champion, who had melded with the mainframe crystal processor, suddenly started blinking rapidly.

“Strange. The commander-in-chief of the fleet has sent us a secret message in the name of Song Bugui.

The Fist King paused for a moment. There was a hint of joy in his metallic voice. “He wants to rebel on the battlefield and surrender to our army.

“Oh?” Lei Chenghu stared at the interconnecting seven-colored battle lines on the 3D light beam, with flames of war swirling in his eyes. When he heard that the commander-in-chief was going to surrender, he did not even blink. “How exactly?”

“Song Bugui said that he had secured the support of Song Chenglong and Song Feibao, two elders of the Song family, and seized the flagship. More than thirty important officers of the military below Song Lixing in the four major families had been ordered to surrender to our army in the name of the commander-in-chief of the fleet and the supreme joint war meeting.

The Fist King said, “Although Song Bugui is only the commander-in-chief of the fleet in name and does not have much control over the branches of the fleet, the commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief of the fleet are more or less of a help in the messy situation. At the very least, the morale of the enemy will be seriously undermined, and it will be much easier for us to clean up the mess.

“Yes. What else?”

Lei Chenghu did not comment.

“Also, he is willing to provide the key interface data of the tactical chain of the fleet so that the troops of our army can hack into their command and communication network easily and even the mainframe crystal processor of every starship.

The boxing champion clicked his tongue. “Not bad. With the interface provided by him, I will be able to fully utilize my abilities!”

“Anything else?”

Lei Chenghu smiled.

“Also, according to Song Bugui, the communication system of the entire fleet is still under his control. Even Jade Cauldron Planet, which is right in front of us, does not know what is going on in the battlefield, let alone the Yellow Dragon Sector.

The Fist King said, “Taking advantage of the asymmetric information, Song Bugui suggested that we bypass Jade Tripod and launch a surprise attack on the Yellow Dragon Sector. He could send a false message to the Yellow Dragon Sector and say that the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector had returned from a great defeat and that the defeated soldiers were in a hurry to return. Then, he could pretend that our army was on the run. After all, we have a large batch of captured starships of the Diamond Fleet and the Royal Fleet in our battle formation. They are of the same model as the enemy. As long as we disguise ourselves well, we won’t be exposed even if we are very close to the enemy.

“The entire Yellow Dragon Sector must’ve panicked when they heard the news that the fleet of the Heaven’s Return Fleet was defeated. Nobody thought that they would be able to stop the return of the defeated army. Also, no one dared to stop the fleeing army because of their anxiety and desperation. “In addition, he is familiar with the defenses of the entire Yellow Dragon Sector and Yellow Dragon. When the ‘disorderly army’ rushes all the way to the atmosphere near Yellow Dragon, he will reveal his hideous face, gather the strongest firepower, and storm the palace of the pseudo-emperor. The will to fight of the four families will be completely destroyed. The entire Yellow Dragon Planet, the entire Yellow Dragon Sector, and even all the territories of the four families will be overturned after a battle!

“Of course, such an ambush is extremely risky. He thought that it was wishful thinking, too, and that it was impossible for him to command it himself. But he was wondering whether or not the ‘God of War’ was willing to take the risk.

“Haha. Hahahaha!

Lei Chenghu couldn’t help but burst into laughter when he heard that. He slapped his thigh and burst into tears.

“Good for you, Song Bugui. I thought that he was just an ordinary, mediocre old general. But now that I think about it, he took the blame for his family countless times and was appointed as the education director of the imperial fleet twice. To this day, he is still alive and kicking. He is definitely not an easy man to deal with.

“He is one of the fringe figures in the family who specializes in taking the blame. Song Chenglong and Song Feibao, the two invincible experts, are the core members of the family and are even closely related to the head of the family. How could they be easily persuaded by him? Either he is talking nonsense and lying to us, or he is using my name to pull the tiger’s skin and make the two invincible experts lose their heads.

“Add that to the scheme of ‘pretending to be a defeated army returning from a great defeat, bypassing Jade Tripod Planet, and going straight for the enemy’. It’s not unusual for him to come up with such a scheme, but he is a man who dares to gamble with his life.

“Speaking of which, as the commander-in-chief, his family should be on Yellow Dragon, shouldn’t they? Isn’t he scared that his family will be blown to pieces by the bombardment? Ruthlessness is what makes a real Immortal Cultivator.

“It’s a pity that the four families don’t know how to hire people. With such a brutal and tough commander-in-chief, they are not at ease to let him command the fleet at all. Otherwise, it will be hard to say who will win the

war!”

“If the four families knew how to hire soldiers, they would’ve handed over the military power to you long ago_before you joined the revolutionaries. The boxing champion said seriously, “If so, the revolutionaries can forget about occupying the capital city.”

Lei Chenghu was overjoyed. He laughed and said, “Alright. Song Bugui has offered us so many benefits. What are his conditions?”

“Firstly, he declared time and time again that it was a battlefield insurrection and definitely not a surrender.

The Fist King said, “He demanded that the treatment of himself and his trusted subordinates remain unchanged and that they be forgiven for their past crimes against the revolutionaries.

“Secondly, he said that he was too old and did not have enough energy to lead soldiers anymore. Therefore, he would rather go back and be the director of education of the imperial fleet or the principal of the imperial military university.

“Thirdly, uh, he said that, in order to make the greatest contribution, he promised you ten Giant God Soldiers in every field. He hoped that they could be transferred to him from the trophies captured in the battlefield to protect the face of you and the revolutionaries.

“The appetite of ten Giant God Soldiers is not small. Is it worth it to dismantle all my bones?”

Lei Chenghu was still smiling. He did not seem to be angry. “Anything else?” “There are no more conditions, but there is one more thing.”

The Fist King said, “Song Bugui said that you are the God of War and the pillar of the imperium. He is willing to join you, but if you are not willing to agree to the conditions, he will have to try his luck with the barbaric queen of the federation. What if the federation is interested in the remnants of his ar

“Alright, awesome, straightforward. If you don’t want to sell it, then just sell it all!”

Lei Chenghu’s smile gradually turned hideous. “Punching King, what’s the status of the ammunition and fuel of our army? Can we make a beautiful charge like just now?”

“I’m afraid not. You know that very well.

“We’ve used up almost all our ammunition,” the Fist King said. “Although there is still some fuel left, the loss of the starship’s structure and power unit does not allow us to be as crazy as we were just now. Our combat ability is dropping fast before the comprehensive supply starship arrives.

“It’s the same for the people of the federation, or even worse—they came in a hurry. This time, it’s really a little bit like ‘a chaotic punch can kill an old master’. Look, their battle formation is in a mess. Fortunately, they have the upper hand. Fortunately!

“All in all, although the fleet of the Heaven’s Origin Sector is on the verge of collapse, our three troops are all running out of strength. So, should we agree to Song Bugui’s conditions?”

“Agree… Agree with his grandma! Bluffing and playing tricks on his ancestors? Tell Song Bugui—”

With a shout, Lei Chenghu’s hideous smile immediately turned into a scowl. He smashed his iron arm on the control panel, causing sparks to splatter everywhere. “I have the absolute advantage right now. Those who have surrendered to me can line up from here all the way to the Jade Tripod Planet. I don’t need his hypocritical ‘Uprising’, and I can take care of these useless people easily! “If he really wants to surrender, the only way is to do so unconditionally. The insurrection on the battlefield, the director of education, the dean of the university, and the ten Giant God Soldiers? He is not qualified to talk about that right now, and I’m not interested in talking to him, either. If he really wants to talk, he will have to wait until he takes down Yellow Dragon and capture the false emperor and false marquis before he kneels in front of His Majesty!”

“That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Give him half a minute to consider whether or not he should surrender to the God of War, Lei Chenghu, unconditionally! Hmph. Does he dare to surrender to the federation? Ha. Tell him to surrender as much as he wants. In any case, in half a minute, I will launch the second round of assault. This time, I won’t hit anyone else. I won’t hit the Yun family, the Song family, the Li family, and the Dongfang family.. I will only hit his general flagship! If I don’t blow his soul into nothingness, he will be the God of War!”
