Warhammer: From the Devouring C'tan Fragments

"Wow!" Vilov slowly bent his knees with a pale face, and finally knelt on one knee to express his surrender.

His action seemed to trigger a chain reaction. Seeing this, the other senior members of the Astra Militarum followed Vilov's example and knelt on one knee in front of Gray, shouting, "We surrender!"

Ever since these Astra Militarum senior officers started to act together with the Defense Force, they have been deeply aware of the huge gap in strength between the two sides. The Astra Militarum is simply unable to compete with the Defense Force.

Despite this, when Gray asked them if they were willing to surrender, these people still gritted their teeth and persevered, refusing to give in easily. Because deep down in their hearts, they still had a glimmer of fantasy and confidence in the Star Empire Combined Fleet.

They firmly believed that they could defeat the Star Navy fleet with the sheer number of warships in the Imperial Combined Fleet. However, reality was like a heavy hammer, ruthlessly shattering the last of their extravagant hopes.

When Gray played the tragic scene in the Jesta galaxy in front of everyone, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

At this point, the last bit of persistence in the hearts of the Astra Militarum senior leaders finally collapsed. They clearly realized that the Imperial Combined Fleet had already failed and there was no possibility of defeating the Astra Militarum Navy.

Faced with such a cruel reality, continuing to resist will only result in more lives being sacrificed in vain and is completely meaningless.

After a fierce ideological struggle, these once arrogant generals lowered their heads helplessly and chose to surrender to Grey.

After all, in a desperate situation, surrender may be a wise move, at least it can save the lives of oneself and one's subordinates.

Gray watched as the high-ranking officers of the Astra Militarum chose to surrender one after another. His sharp gaze slowly shifted to Argento, who was still standing quietly and silently.

"What's your choice?" Gray broke the silence. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

Argento seemed not to hear Gray's question. His gaze passed Gray and fell directly on Tiberus behind Gray.

He asked Tiberus in an almost inaudible voice: "Why did you choose to surrender?"

When Tiberus heard the question, his scarlet goggles flickered twice, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

After a while, he responded in his usual cold tone: "I am no match for them. We are all human beings. Surrendering is not a shame."

After that, he stopped talking, returning to his usual frugal nature. Normally, Tiberius would never waste a single word with his mouth, even if it meant taking action.

However, these few simple words seemed to give Argento the last fig leaf.

Argento sighed softly and murmured to himself, "Yes! We are all human beings, just with different perspectives."

This statement not only served as a relief for his inner conflict, but also provided a reasonable excuse for the decision he was about to make. Because of Tiberius' words, even if he chose to surrender, he wouldn't be looked down upon or despised by others.

"I also choose to surrender and continue fighting for humanity."

Argento knelt on one knee in front of Gray, lowered his head, and spoke softly in a bitter tone.

"Very good, you all understand what's right." Gray saw that all the senior officials of the Imperial Army chose to surrender, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

At least they don't have to continue fighting each other. These people are all brave and fearless soldiers, and they are precious treasures of mankind. It is such a pity to die in a civil war.

"Everyone get up!"

Gray raised his hand gently towards the kneeling crowd, "With your participation, we can more quickly rescue those people who are still suffering and allow humanity to stand tall at the top of the world again."

"It is our duty to liberate all mankind!"

Everyone stood up from the ground. After hearing Gray's words, their depressed mood was relieved and they responded to Gray with high morale.

"Very good." Gray looked at Vilov and his group with satisfaction and continued:

"Go and comfort the soldiers under your command! Now that the war between us is over, there is no need to continue to escalate the situation. The soldiers have worked hard for so long, it's time to let them have a good rest.

I will have sufficient supplies delivered to you so that the soldiers can have a good rest."

"Yes." Everyone responded respectfully to Gray.

At Gray's signal, Verov led the senior Astra Militarum leaders slowly back to the Astra Militarum positions. Their steps seemed heavy, yet filled with a sense of relief and relief.

When they arrived at their destination, Vilov took a deep breath and announced to all the soldiers in a voice that was as calm as possible but full of power:

"Brave soldiers, after careful consideration, we have decided to surrender."

This news was like a bombshell dropped into the originally calm lake, instantly causing a huge wave.

At first, the scene fell into a brief silence, as if time had frozen. But then, deafening cheers swept over like a surging tide.

"Oh oh oh! Long live General Vilov!" A young soldier was so excited that his face turned red. He waved his weapon and shouted loudly.

"Hahaha! We finally don't have to fight anymore!" Another soldier laughed, tears in his eyes, and hugged his comrade beside him tightly.

"Thanks to the Emperor's protection, I can continue to live well." Another soldier clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly to the sky silently.

The entire Astra Militarum camp was filled with excited cheers and shouts. These soldiers had been in a highly tense combat state for a long time, and now they knew they could lay down their weapons and no longer have to face the test of life and death.

The feeling of relief made them unable to suppress their inner joy any longer, and they cheered wildly.

Verov stood quietly by, and beside him, Argento and Richard were equally silent. The three of them silently watched the group of excited soldiers before them, their hearts filled with emotion.

Although as generals they needed to maintain a certain dignity and composure, they really couldn't bear to scold the soldiers when they saw how happy they were.

The war had come to an end, which was great news for everyone. From now on, no one had to worry day and night about the defense forces launching attacks against the Astra Militarum at any time.
