Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

A few weeks later.

An armed search party from the Great Qian military landed on an unnamed planet.

After landing, a large number of combat personnel clad in combat armor quickly established a perimeter.

Then, a large number of infrastructure robots began to work intensively to build temporary bases on the ground.

A few hours later.

A large temporary base was thus completed.

After several weeks of searching and investigation.

This wild planet was listed as one of more than a dozen key suspected targets.

Therefore, the military specifically dispatched a large number of armed forces to this wild planet to conduct a comprehensive search and investigation.

Once discovered, the secret research base of the Black Army can be immediately destroyed and encircled!

In order to minimize casualties.

The troops participating in the search and raid on the Black Army's secret research base were equipped with a large number of combat robots.

Because, through the last confrontation with the beast-like warriors of the Black Army.

The Daqian military discovered that combat robots still have a certain advantage in battles against beast-like warriors.

At least, when attacked at close range by beast-like warriors, combat robots are not as vulnerable as human soldiers.................

"Sir!"

"We received an unknown communication."

"The other party requested to speak with the highest-ranking commander here."

"What? Unknown communication?"

Colonel Li Tongqing, the commander in charge, frowned, then ordered, "Then take it over."

"Colonel, are you the supreme commander of this operation?"

After the communication was connected, a virtual character appeared on the screen.

Clearly, the other person's voice had also been specially processed.

"That's right, I am Colonel Li Tongqing, the highest-ranking commander in charge of the search mission for this nameless planet."

"Judging from your tone, it seems you know why we're here?"

"The entire Great Qian Dynasty is currently busy with the task of wiping out the Black-Clad Army."

"I don't need to guess what you're here for."

"So—you have an important clue to provide us?"

"Would you mind revealing your identity?"

While on the phone, Li Tongqing gestured to the communications officer beside him with his hand behind his back, signaling them to trace the source of the communication as soon as possible.

"Colonel, you don't need to bother locking down my communications location."

The virtual character in the communication screen directly exposed Li Tongqing's underhanded tactics.

"Since I took the initiative to find you, I didn't come with malicious intent."

"I'm here to help you complete your mission!"

"You don't need to investigate anymore."

"I can tell you right now—I am currently communicating with you from somewhere on this planet."

"First of all, congratulations—you've come to the right place; you'll reap great rewards..."

"Oh?"

"So—the Black Army's secret research base really is on this planet?"

Li Tongqing was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"How so...?"

"Yes and no!"

"That's right—there is indeed a secret research base hidden on this planet."

"They are indeed from the Black-Clad Army..."

"However, this secret research base is probably not the one you are looking for."

"What do you mean?"

Could you please explain yourself more clearly?

"Could it be that—the secret research base on this planet is just one of them?"

"The Black Army has more than one secret research base for studying beast-like warriors?"

"No! No! No!"

"How could such an important project be scattered?"

"The Black Army has only ever had one secret research base for studying beast-like warriors!"

"Then what did you mean by what you just said?"

"Could it be that this research base is where the Black-Clad Army is conducting other research projects?"

"Besides the beast-like warriors, does the Black Army have other shady research projects?"

"That's not entirely true..."

"No?" Upon hearing this, Li Tongqing's face showed a hint of impatience: "Who exactly are you?"

"If you have any intelligence or leads to provide—we welcome them!"

"But if you're making fun of us, do you know what crime it is to provide false information to the military?"

"If this is a prank, I think you'd better stop now."

"Otherwise, the consequences will be something you can't afford!"

"Colonel, I'm contacting you this time with the utmost sincerity."

Do you know how much risk I'm taking by doing this?

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be............."

"You were a member of the Black-Clad Army?"

"Now you're coming to us for asylum?"

"Colonel, you've finally hit the nail on the head."

"That's right............."

The virtual figure in the communication screen nodded affirmatively: "I am indeed a member of the Black Army."

"Moreover, I can tell you with certainty that my position in the Black Army is not low."

"At least, I can give you accurate answers to the things you want to know..."

"You mean—you're a core member of the Black Army?"

"Now you want to see the error of your ways? Help us hunt down the mountain dogs?"

"You could say that..."

The virtual character in the image nodded again: "And I can tell you for sure."

"With my help—you can quickly uproot the Mountain Dogs and the entire Black Army!"

"Colonel, are you curious about my true identity?"

"What do you think?" Li Tongqing replied patiently.

"I am one of the best of the second generation of beast warriors in the Black Army."

"He is also one of the 30 perfect individuals of the second-generation beast warriors."

"I can give you a free introduction first—among the second generation of beast warriors in the Black Army, there are 30 of the most powerful perfect beings."

“We were numbered from 1 to 30 in chronological order.”

"I am number nineteen, one of the 30 perfect forms of the second-generation beast warriors."

"We don't have names, we only have numbers..."

"However, it is important to note that our numbers are not arranged according to strength."

"Although my number is nineteen among the second-generation perfect beings."

"However, it is no exaggeration to say that my overall combat strength ranks at least in the top ten among the 30 second-generation perfect beings!"

"So you see—I'm really amazing................."

-------------------------------------

"it is good!"

"So... number nineteen, right?"

"So, can we now get down to business?"

"Of course!"

"Let's start with the secret research base on this nameless planet."

Do you know why you came to this planet?

"Could it be that the Black-Clad Army deliberately led us here?"

Li Tongqing immediately became nervous after hearing what No. 19 said.

"Colonel, there's no need to be so nervous."

Seeing Li Tongqing tense up, the virtual character on the communication screen smiled.

"Although you were deliberately led here by our Black-Clad Army."

"However, you don't need to worry—we haven't set up an ambush here..."

"With the troops you brought this time, you can completely wipe out the Black Army on this planet!"

"Hahaha..............."

Are you a little confused after hearing this?

"You lured you here and didn't set up an ambush, that's a bit hard to understand, isn't it?"

"I've figured some things out..."

Li Tongqing frowned and said, "Based on what you've said..."

"So you deliberately lured us here to destroy this planet's secret base!"

"As expected of the team commander, he hit the nail on the head!"

Number Nineteen nodded: "That's right."

"This is the 'surprise' that old fox, Mountain Dog, arranged for you!"

"He wants to use this method to make you mistakenly believe that you have successfully destroyed the Black Army's secret research base."

"The mountain dog has put in a lot of effort for this scheme."

"They've spared no expense..."

"This so-called secret research base was even replicated one-to-one with the real research base."

"From the time you found this place to every little detail, everything was arranged perfectly by the Mountain Dog."

"So that this scene could achieve the effect of deceiving everyone."

"We are just cannon fodder specially sent here by the mountain dogs."

"what?"

"Are the mountain dogs pushing you here to be cannon fodder?"

Li Tongqing frowned and said, "Didn't you just say that you are a member of the second-generation perfect body?"

"Would the Yamabe Kennel really push out you perfect specimens as cannon fodder?"

"What's there to be reluctant about...?"

Number Nineteen said calmly, "In the eyes of the Mountain Dogs, we are just a bunch of pawns that can be sacrificed at any time."

"Before the advent of third-generation technology, we second-generation perfect beings still have some value."

"But with the third generation of beastmen nearing success, the Mountain Dogs completely disregard our second-generation products..."

"So, you want to cooperate with us to get revenge on the mountain dogs?"

"That's right, you could say that."

"Actually, the main reason I chose to do this was not to get revenge on the mountain dogs."

"After all, without the Mountain Dog, I wouldn't have such powerful abilities."

"But I also want to live..."

"I really don't want to die here so soon."

"So, I felt I had to do something for myself..."

"At the very least, I have to fight for my own life."

"Colonel, I don't think what I did was excessive, did I?"

As the saying goes, "If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be doomed."

"Since the mountain dog was ruthless first, then don't blame me for being unjust later..."

"If you are truly committed to cooperating with us."

"I guarantee you will get a way to survive."

"Of course, that's on the premise that you can provide enough valuable intelligence..."

You can rest assured about that!

"Colonel, I assure you that my intelligence is absolutely substantial."

"In fact, I've essentially saved the entire Great Qian Empire!"

"Because you have no idea just how insane that madman, Mountain Dog, really is!"

"If the Mountain Dogs' plan can really be carried out smoothly..."

"Then it will be a disaster for more than just the entire Great Qian Empire."

"It's no exaggeration to say—that would be a catastrophe for the entire Black Horse Galaxy..."

"Therefore, the value I offer you in exchange for one of my promotions is more than enough..."

"I hope what you're saying is true."

Li Tongqing frowned and asked, "So, how do you plan to cooperate with us?"

"Of course, it's to help you completely eradicate the Mountain Dogs and the entire Black Army in one fell swoop."

Number Nineteen laughed and said, "I know where the Mountain Dogs are hiding."

"I know exactly where the Black Army's real secret research base is."

"Because that's where I came from..."

"So, as long as I help you."

"You will soon be able to wipe out the entire Black Army in one fell swoop."

“I know—His Majesty the Emperor is very concerned about this matter.”

"Otherwise, such a big fuss wouldn't have been made."

"You don't want to disappoint His Majesty the Emperor, do you?"

"I can help you complete the imperial order with the fastest efficiency..."

"I understand."

Li Tongqing nodded: "You're saying all this just to try and get more favorable conditions for yourself."

"You think that the value of the intelligence you provided is only enough to save your life, which would be a huge loss!"

"Is that what you mean?"

"Transparent!"

"Colonel, your words have really struck a chord with me."

"You also think this is inappropriate, right?"

"I've done you such a big favor, it shouldn't be too much to ask for a few conditions, right?"

“Not unreasonable,” Li Tongqing said calmly. “Then let’s stop beating around the bush.”

"Just tell me your conditions."

"I can report your proposed conditions immediately!"
