Translator: 549690339
As expected, by noon, many soldiers felt that something was wrong. There were more and more soldiers at the periphery, and the soldiers who were supposed to be on duty were also prohibited from going out at this time… …
“What are these guys trying to do? Do they really want to die?”Black bear grinned hideously as he wiped the sweat off his head and ran to the tent to get his weapon.
Jack frowned. Although he had some complaints about black bear’s look of wanting to cause trouble, he did not stop him because the current situation did not seem to be right… …
Many of the soldiers also silently returned to the tent to retrieve their weapons. However, they soon discovered that something was even more wrong…
Jack and the rest saw black bear panting as he walked out. They were a little stunned as they asked, “You… What’s wrong with you?”
Pu Yunchuan could also see that this guy who looked as strong as a black bear was struggling to carry a weapon… …
“There are no women in your tent, right? What did you do last night? Why are you so weak?”The black sheep beside him mocked.
“You’re not weak? You look even weaker than me…”the black bear rolled its eyes and retorted.
Jack finally felt that something was wrong. In fact, he also felt that his entire body was weak. At first, he thought that it was because he stayed up late, but these two guys weren’t on duty last night…
Then, he looked around and suddenly realized that everyone looked like this… … As if their bodies were hollowed out…
“Something big is going to happen…”Jack muttered…

“I knew it, I knew it! !”In the camp, the black-scaled general was so flustered that he knocked over a large pot of food, he stomped on it fiercely, “What did I tell you? That City Lord isn’t trustworthy at all, and you still have hope. Now, everyone will be buried with you because of your cowardice! ! !”
Wesker looked at the flustered and exasperated look on the other party’s face. His expression was ugly, but he did not lose his temper, because what the other party said was indeed the truth.
There were more than 17,000 mutated soldiers in the quarantine zone, which was twice as many as the original soldiers of Gondolin. In addition to the powerful combat strength after the mutation, there was almost no chance of winning against the city lord in the city… …
And this advantage became the result of his hesitation and weakness…
After a long time, Wesker sighed and stood up. Looking at Wesker who stood up, black scale looked at the other party fearlessly. Although he knew that he could not defeat the other party, he would still die now anyway. He did not mind fighting with him to his heart’s content…
However, after Wesker stood up, he did not make a move. Instead, he bowed deeply and said in a very sincere tone, “It’s my fault. Everything is my fault! !”
The few generals were stunned when they heard that. They did not expect that the usually tough Wesker would actually admit his mistake at this time!
Black scale was also very surprised, but after being stunned for a moment, he did not appreciate the gesture and said, “What’s the use of you making such a gesture now? Tens of thousands of soldiers are about to lose their lives because they believed in you. Can You solve the problem by apologizing?”
“I know I can’t…”Wesker took a deep breath and sighed. “But the more at this time, the more we can’t have internal strife. I hope you can help me again!”
“Help You?”Black scale looked at him in confusion. “Help you with what?”
Wesker raised his head, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. “We still have a chance…”
“What Chance?”The surrounding generals quickly asked.
“Including you, we have a general and five lieutenant generals here…”. Wesker said in a low voice, “I tried just now. Although we were poisoned and our combat strength couldn’t last long, we still have the strength to burst out at the last minute…”. “…”
“You want to break out of the encirclement and escape?”Black scale frowned.
Wesker shook his head. “The poison that made us realize that something is wrong is definitely not an ordinary thing. There must be a Master Alchemist in Mike’s place. Even if we escape, we will still be poisoned to death. Moreover, in the current situation outside, where can we escape to? You and I have both seen what it’s like out there. Without this city, you’d either be a monster or eaten by one!”
“What do you mean?”
Wesker: “Cut the head off the snake!”
———-
After about noon, under the angry and cursing environment of many soldiers, the line of soldiers outside the encirclement finally began to slowly shrink. The fully armed soldiers in the city, with their battle formations and strong crossbows, slowly pushed the soldiers in the barracks to a place. …
Wesker and the others stood at the front, confronting the many soldiers. Wesker was a famous old general in the northwest. The last time he resisted the insect tide, he was also the commander-in-chief of the army, his prestige was not only among the mutated soldiers. Many of the soldiers who were not mutated felt a little uneasy when they saw him.
“Mike, you used such a shameless method to harm your fellow countrymen. Don’t you have the face to come out and meet us?”Wesker roared angrily.
His tone was filled with a sense of weakness, like an old lion. The soldiers in front of him felt rather moved… …
Following Wesker’s roar, a small path opened up among the surrounding crowd. City Lord Mike wore his shining silver armor and slowly walked out under the protection of his personal guards.
Beside him was actually the secretary who had come to inform them of the secret the last time, and the secretary was holding the Savage Head of the Finance Minister in his hand…
“You…”Wesker’s expression immediately turned incomparably cold after he saw the secretary clearly. Black scale and the others beside him also had cold expressions on their faces.
“Good intentions, good methods…”Wesker looked at Mike and said coldly. After which, he looked at the secretary. “However, what I don’t understand is, what benefits will you get from betraying us?”
“My family are all ordinary people in this city…”the secretary said coldly, “Once your rebellion succeeds, what will happen to those ordinary people?”
“After interacting with each other for so long, you should know that I have never thought of rebelling…”
The secretary paused for a moment and hesitated, but then he shook his head and said, “Haven’t you thought about why the rebellion gathered the power of the mutated soldiers together?”
Wesker looked at the city lord Mike, “We… are just trying to protect ourselves!”
“I understand…”Mike, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke, “I also believe in your old Buddy, I believe that you are really trying to protect yourself!”
Wesker: “Then why are you doing this?”
Mike: “Because your existence is enough to threaten this city! !”
“I see…”Wesker nodded, and then looked at the black-armored guards beside Mike and smiled, “Five silver-rank, you are well-prepared and well-hidden…”
“I have no choice…”Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, “Who told you to be so powerful? I know that although you have the title of Lieutenant General, you were actually a gold knight six years ago…”
“The information is pretty good…”Wesker smiled. He then sized up the other party’s armor and said with a smile, “The armor is pretty beautiful. It’s very tiring to wear it, right?”
“Uh…”Mike was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “I can’t help it. I’m old. It’s different from those who have practiced before…”
“That’s true…”wesker nodded and said, “Sometimes, you really won’t know the difference if you haven’t practiced before!”
“What difference?”Mike was stunned.
Wesker said, “Do you know how many Gold Knights there are in the Empire?”
Mike looked at the other party in puzzlement. He did not know why the other party had the time to talk about this topic… …
“Seventy-nine…”. Seeing that the other party did not speak, wesker grinned and said, “This is the number accumulated by the empire over three hundred years. If I count the oldest Marshal Rox, it’s only this number … … Do you know how many Silver Knights there are in the Empire?”
“What are you trying to say?”Mike frowned.
“There are over 4,000 of them…”. “…”wesker continued to speak, “After advancing to silver, the treatment of these knights varies greatly. Some of them are major generals in the military and have a bright future. Some of them are just like the ones by your side who can only be a personal guard. However, once they reach gold rank, they will definitely become the top figures in the Empire and be conferred the title of Marquis. Do you know why there is such a huge difference?”
Mike’s expression changed when he heard that, and he retreated slightly…
“It seems that you understand now…”wesker smiled and said, “Because there is such a big difference. I’m really glad that you haven’t trained before and don’t understand the difference. How dare you come so close…”
Mike finally couldn’t hold it in anymore, and he suddenly turned around and retreated. The few Silver Knights also drew their blades when they heard that, while Wesker walked over with his bare hands with a calm expression!
