Imperial warlords: Cannons are the only truth

"Holy shit.............."

"Can you please stop looking at me like that when you say these things?"

"If someone had a weak heart, they would be scared half to death by your fierce appearance!"

Number 19 was startled by Number 17's sudden ferocity and quickly composed himself to continue dodging the question.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Number Seventeen seems easy to fool.

However, Number Nineteen knew very well that this bald man's combat power was definitely among the top three of the second-generation perfect beings!

That's definitely a fighter type...

If Number Seventeen, that stubborn guy, found out that he had secretly betrayed the Black-Clad Army...

Number 19 really wasn't confident he could escape from Number 17...

It is quite obvious that Number Nineteen is very self-aware when it comes to combat skills.

So, number 19, who was already feeling a bit guilty, was suddenly pulled off this stunt by number 17. It would be a lie to say he wasn't scared...

"What's wrong with my expression?"

Number Seventeen looked at Number Nineteen in front of her: "You're not saying I scared you, are you?"

"What? Are you feeling guilty?"

"I feel guilty?" Number Nineteen said with a disdainful look, "Why would I feel guilty?"

"Do I feel guilty?"

"A person who is upright has nothing to fear from a crooked shadow."

"I am utterly loyal to the Black Army and to my boss. What do I have to be ashamed of?"

"What a joke..."

"I mean, your bald head and your appearance are pretty scary to begin with."

"Your expression suddenly became so ferocious just now, who wouldn't be startled..................."

"how?"

"Number Seventeen, you don't suspect me of something, do you?"

"If you don't trust me that much, then we'll have to have a serious talk!"

"At worst, we can just go to the boss and settle this with him!"

"no............"

Seeing Number Nineteen's strong reaction, Number Seventeen scratched his head and said, "I was just building up the atmosphere, and it was a natural outpouring of my true feelings..."

"Is it really necessary for you to react so strongly?"

Number Seventeen asked doubtfully, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you really have something to hide..."

Am I having a strong reaction?

After being told off by Number Seventeen, Number Nineteen realized that her behavior just now might have been a bit too excited...

"This is a normal reaction of mine, okay!"

"It looks like we're about to sacrifice ourselves for the boss's grand cause."

"Aren't you even the slightest bit anxious or nervous?"

"Anxious? Nervous?"

Number Seventeen frowned, amused, and looked at Number Nineteen, who was looking very serious: "What's the rush?"

"What are you nervous about?"

"I can't wait to start a fierce battle with the Great Qian army!"

"Just thinking about that scene fills me with excitement..."

"Oh!"

"I see!"

Number Seventeen looked at Number Nineteen with ill intent: "You're feeling too much pressure because time is running out, aren't you?"

"What? Are you scared when it really comes down to risking your life?"

"No wonder..."

As she spoke, Number Seventeen said with a very understanding expression, "After all, not everyone can have such a good mindset as me!"

"It's understandable that there's a lot of pressure, some anxiety, and fear."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"How about I keep an eye on things from now on, and you go and get some rest and adjust your condition?"

".................." Number 19 breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Number 17 did not suspect him.

"Aren't you going to continue your intensive training in the training room?"

"I'm not going. I don't have anything good to practice with right now. I'm just waiting for real combat!"

"If that's the case..."

"Alright!"

Number 19 thought for a moment, then said, "Since you're not going to continue with the extra training, you can keep an eye on things from here on out."

"I really need to get some rest so I can get back into shape."

"Well done, kid..." Number Nineteen shook his head with feigned helplessness: "I didn't expect you to have such keen observation skills."

"That's right! To be honest—as time gets tighter, I'm actually getting a little nervous..."

"Hey!"

"You can't argue with that..."

"In this respect, I really can't compare to you!"

"I knew it—you were under too much pressure and were nervous!"

Faced with Number 19's praise, Number 17 also looked smug: "I could tell from how nervous you were just now!"

"This should be called—pre-war anxiety syndrome."

Ultimately—it all boils down to a lack of mental fortitude…

I listened to Number Seventeen's self-praising spiel for a long time.

Number Nineteen couldn't help but think with disdain—when it comes to the mentality of rushing to one's death, it's probably hard to find someone with a better mindset than you...

"Alright, go and get some rest."

"Take some time to adjust your mindset."

"Anyway, there's nothing going on at the base right now."

"It's nothing more than waiting for the Great Qian army to come knocking on our door..."

"I'll keep an eye on things here, you'd better hurry up and get going!"

Number 17 waved to Number 19 quite cheerfully: "Get yourself back into shape as soon as possible."

"Never let the team down at a crucial moment."

"Don't forget—you're still going to be my support..."

"Okay! Got it!"

Number Nineteen nodded: "Alright, then I'll leave this to you."

"I'm going to get some rest and get myself ready!"

"I'll try my best not to hold you back..."

"and many more!"

Just as Number Nineteen turned to leave, Number Seventeen called out to him.

"Let me correct that!"

"It's not about striving not to hold others back!"

"But we absolutely cannot hold others back..."

"Don't forget what the boss told us."

At this point, Number Seventeen's expression turned serious again: "This mission can only succeed, failure is not an option!"

"Good! Good! Good............."

After hearing what Number Seventeen said, Number Nineteen was speechless again.

I have to say—Number Seventeen's loyalty to the mountain dog was absolutely incredible...................

"I promise—I will be in peak condition before taking any action!"

"I definitely won't hold anyone back during the mission..."

"Okay?"

"Can I go and rest and recharge now?"

Number Seventeen nodded: "Go quickly!"

"Time is running out..."

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

After a while.

Number 19 arrived at his private lounge.

The cautious Number 19 double-checked the safety of the lounge before finally relaxing...

Although everything here was started by Number Nineteen.

Furthermore, his private lounge is equipped with comprehensive security measures.

But No. 19 still dared not let his guard down.

After all, what he's doing now could cost him his life if he's not careful...

Regarding the issue of life and death, Number 19 and Number 17 have completely different attitudes.

Number 17 was truly "brave"...

If it's a command from the Mountain Dog, even if you tell him to jump into a fire pit immediately, Number Seventeen will never hesitate.

But the 19th was different.

He made all those underhanded moves and arrangements just to survive.................

Not only do we need to survive, but we need to live comfortably!

I checked the time; it was already 8:35 PM.

On the 19th, I patiently waited for another half hour.

After confirming that no one would disturb me at this time.

Number 19 then carefully took out a small communication device from a hidden compartment in the lounge.

Soon, as agreed, No. 19 initiated a communication request to Li Tongqing.

This encrypted communication device was secretly brought in by Number Nineteen.

I used this communication device to contact Li Tongqing before.

After the communication request was sent, Li Tongqing immediately accepted the call.

"They answered pretty quickly..."

"How could I not hurry! I've been waiting for you here the whole time."

On the other end of the communication screen, Li Tongqing frowned and said, "Our Commander-in-Chief Han and Director Chen of the Interstellar Intelligence Agency are already waiting for you."

"Oh, right..."

Looking at the communication screen, Number Nineteen was still using a virtual character whose identity was deliberately concealed.

Li Tongqing immediately reminded him, "Our Commander-in-Chief Han specifically instructed us on this."

"Tonight's secret communication must be presented in its true form..."

Why are you still using virtual characters?

"oops!"

"Excuse me................"

Number Nineteen slapped his forehead and immediately explained, "This time it really wasn't my fault."

"These are all protective measures that were previously adjusted as a precaution..."

"I was so focused on the communication that I forgot about that..."

"rest assured!"

"I'll turn off the virtual function right away."

"Hold on..............."

As he spoke, Number Nineteen began fiddling with things right in front of Li Tongqing.

Soon after, the virtual function was shut down by Number Nineteen.

"This is just great!"

"It's absolutely true now, it couldn't be more real..."

Number Nineteen, now showing his true face, smiled at Li Tongqing on the other end of the communication line and said, "Alright! Everything's done!"

"Real voice, real person, absolutely no fakery!"

"That's honest enough! More sincere now, isn't it?"

"it is good!"

Li Tongqing looked at Number Nineteen, who had revealed his true form, and then nodded again: "Then I'll transfer the communication now!"

"Our Commander-in-Chief Han and Director Chen have been waiting all night for tonight's conversation..."

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

"You're number nineteen?"

After the communication was transferred to Han Yunsheng and Chen Guyan, Han Yunsheng spoke immediately.

"That's right! The perfect second-generation beast-transformed warrior of the Black Army, number nineteen!"

Number 19 then revealed his identity in front of Han Yunsheng and Chen Guyan.

"Commander-in-Chief Han, Director Chen."

"I have long admired your names!"

"This is the first time you've met me."

"However, this isn't the first time I've seen Commander-in-Chief Han and Director Chen's true faces..."

"Oh?"

"is it?"

"So—you Black Army really do 'value' us quite a bit."

"Are Director Chen and I both on your Black-Clad Army's assassination list?"

"Correct!"

"They're all here!"

Number Nineteen smiled and said, "Moreover, Director Chen is number one on our Black-Clad Army's assassination list!"

"This was decided by the mountain dog's parents."

"Commander-in-Chief Han is ranked a few places lower than Director Chen."

"Ranked fourth..."

"Old Chen, it seems your Interstellar Intelligence Agency has a much bigger reputation after all..."

Han Yunsheng glanced at Chen Guyan beside him: "You're number one in the Black-Clad Army..."

“I already knew that.”

Chen Guyan stared expressionlessly at Number Nineteen on the communication screen: "Last time, when you caused such a ruckus in the capital..."

"That's what the female assassin you sent said too..."

"Director Chen, since I have already chosen to cooperate with the imperial court..."

"I should be considered to have left the Black Army."

"Therefore, Director Chen, please stop using terms like 'you' and 'black-clad army' all the time."

"All that trouble was caused by the mountain dogs."

"I have never agreed with the actions of that madman, Mountain Dog."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to choose to cooperate with the Great Qian Dynasty this time."

"I did this mainly to save my life."

"But disapproval of the actions of the mountain dogs also played a significant role..."
