"Those dogs from Pegasus Group all deserve to die."
The military commander in the Pegasus Galaxy smashed his cup to the floor in fury.
Ma Zhi's threat to surrender had struck right at their weak spot.
The military was powerful, but the forces stationed in Pegasus Galaxy were only deployed at normal strength.
