Chapter 438: 437, do you love your country, does your country love you?_1
“There’s no need for your assistance.” Su Yu replied with a smile: “Tina and I will attack the Skuru base. After we have taken it, your only responsibility will be cleanup operations such as capturing prisoners and collecting spoils of war.”
“However, you must be careful when entering the Skuru base. Try to avoid any casualties among the soldiers in this minor matter.”
“Understood.” Commander Zhao responded immediately.
Su Yu nodded, quickly flew to the top of the mountain with Tina, and arrived at the perimeter of the Skuru base.
The base was almost identical to the Yunlu Mountain Base that Su Yu once infiltrated.
In the uppermost area was a spine-chilling space crack, beneath which stood three core facilities – the “Spiritual Energy Collection Factory”, “Psychic Energy Storage Station”, and “Monster Manufacturing Plant”.
Fourteen brown-gray 50-meter-long spaceships were parked on the perimeter of the base, forming a protective ring around the three core facilities.
Detecting Su Yu’s arrival, a significant disturbance ensued within the base.
A hazy shield quickly activated around the perimeter of the base. High-energy weapons on the spaceships each lit up with yellow or white light, entering standby mode and locking onto Su Yu and Tina.
The Skuru army inside the base was on high alert. Should the two approach the security perimeter, they would open fire without hesitation.
However, Su Yu dismissed them lightly, not considering them a threat. The concern over a small-sized spiritual spring eye was undeserved.
Scanning the base down below, Su Yu loudly proclaimed in the Skuru language: “People in the base listen: Surrender now, and I’ll give you a chance to live. Otherwise, what awaits you is only death!”
Su Yu produced the [Legendary Mage Kardega’s Magic Book], waving it lightly, and a [Greater Arcane Wisdom] buff enveloped him and Tina, boosting their intelligence by 10%.
A faint golden aura ignited around Tina, her golden hair swaying in the wind. She drew a golden long sword from the void, readying herself for the battle.
However, from the Skuru base, a voice rang out: “Forget about it, pest. You murdered our great Chairman Cass. We will never surrender, even at the cost of our lives! Prepare yourself and face your demise with us!”
“Yes, Sir.” The surrounding Skuru soldiers and officers responded loud and clear, their morale boosted, prepared to battle Su Yu to the death.
Only then did Su Yu realize that the “Yan One” base was a base of the Lun Kete Alliance.
He offered a hearty laugh: “Your words are quite comical.”
“Not long ago, Cass selfishly activated the Treyna Skyscraper, causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of poor people. Is this shameless politician worth dying for?”
The morale of the Skuru army below was noticeably affected.
But the Skuru commander snarled: “Chairman Cass made the sacrifice to kill you…”
“Tell me.” Su Yu interrupted him: “With so many legendary seventh-rankers and God Level powerhouse Sidim in Treyna city then, why were so many innocent lives sacrificed?”
“From my understanding, Cass did all this simply because the slum wasn’t the voting base of his party but the opposition’s. All he did was for votes and nothing more! He might even think that the plan of killing me and eradicating these ‘inferior creatures’ killed two birds with one stone!”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, the Skuru army below fell into silence.
Any perceptive individual could see why Cass made such a move. Politicians only care about one thing – votes.
With votes, betraying the nation’s interests is the most ordinary thing for politicians, let alone “lower life-forms”.
Being so bluntly laid bare by an alien, every Skuru present felt embarrassed.
Su Yu continued: “Considering the Lun Kete government headed by Cass could casually throw away the lives of over a hundred thousand of their people, would they hesitate to betray you in the future? Maybe you love your country, but does it show the same love towards you?”
“So, if you ask me, surrender if you should. The road ahead is long, there’s no need to die here. Your life is the most precious, no need to be just another disposable piece in the hands of these despicable politicians.”
“Plus, I assure you we will treat the captives well. We won’t conduct any inhumane experiments on you. As long as your nation is willing to pay for your release, we will let you go. Anything is better than dying here.”
Su Yu swiped on his phone, contacted Xue Wenli to send some videos of the Skuru captives living healthily, and enlarged them for the Skurus to see.
…
After Su Yu’s combination punch, the morale of the Skuru army dropped to freezing point.
The alien made sense. There was no need to lay down their lives for such shameless politicians.
The mindset of many Skuru soldiers had already changed, considering how to surrender.
…
But at this moment, the Skuru commander in the base still resisted and shouted, “Don’t be fooled by this alien! He’s most adept at psychic control spells, once controlled, you become his servant for life!”
But the surrounding soldiers completely ignored the commander’s words. After all, it was better to be a servant than to die a worthless death, right?
Su Yu didn’t say anything else. He turned to Tina and said, “Take action! But try not to go all out.”
“Got it!”
The next moment, Tina turned into a golden shadow that flickered next to the energy shield. In her hand, the long sword carried a massive amount of fury and stabbed fiercely at the energy shield.
Crack! Crack!
A large number of cracks immediately appeared on the energy shield.
Tina increased the fury supply to the weapon, and the energy shield couldn’t bear the load anymore. It creaked and creaked until it finally shattered into countless fragments with a loud “Boom”.
Upon being attacked, the weapons aboard the 14 Skuru spaceships, which were originally in the “ready for activation” state, were simultaneously activated!
More than twenty laser beams shot towards Tina, almost locking her in with no room left to dodge.
Tina had no intention of dodging either, her long sword drew a “cross” in front of her.
This was the [Cross Slash] she learned from Aganzuo.
The “cross” shaped sword energy collided with the laser beam, slicing the laser beam into four parts as if cutting through tofu, while Tina remained unharmed in the middle.
At the same time as Tina shattered the energy shield, Su Yu used [Turn into Thunderbolt]+[Thunder Armor] to rush into the base at an extremely fast speed, reaching above the Skuru commander who had spoken earlier.
“[Frozen Tomb]!”
Crack!
A huge block of solid ice enveloped the Skuru commander, who was only at the fifth order, completely turning him into an ice sculpture.
“[Fire Phoenix Descends]!”
Su Yu cast the spell again, a fiery red phoenix was summoned from the formation and it swooped down towards the location of the Skuru commander.
Boom!
There were still quite a few officers standing next to the Skuru commander. Su Yu cast a large-scale high-damage spell onto them, directly wiping them all out.
The Skuru commander, utterly devoid of any ability to fight back, died under Su Yu’s spell.
Su Yu, hovering in the air with the corpse of the Skuru commander, called out to the surrounding Skuru soldiers: “Your commander is dead. I reiterate, those who surrender will not be killed, those who resist will die!”
