After hearing Xu Qing's words, Lu Yin thought that things were indeed just as Wei Rong had said. On the surface, he feigned shock, his pupils contracting as he gritted his teeth. "Commander Xu Qing, I respect you as a senior. How can you resort to such despicable tactics on the battlefield?"
Xu Qing shook his head and smiled. "War has no tactics and no rules. Victory is the greatest rule, isn't it?"
Lu Yin clenched his fists and stared at Xu Qing, his face pale. "Despicable."
Xu Qing chuckled. "I heard that Shui Chuanxiao is in the Eastern Frontier Alliance. Hasn't he told you about me?"
Lu Yin said in a low voice, "He has. Commander Shui said you were shrewd and resourceful, both on and off the battlefield. But I didn't expect you to be so despicable. I thought you and Commander Shui were cut from the same cloth."
Xu Qing sneered. "We are cut from the same cloth. Don't tell me you don't know how your Human Starfield's network was connected. Shui Chuanxiao is more ruthless than I am.

"Ultimately, Shui Chuanxiao is more ruthless than I am. I couldn't do something like that."
"But you're more despicable than he is," Lu Yin said.
Xu Qing clasped his hands behind his back. "Kid, let me teach you a lesson. War is war. There's no such thing as despicable or honorable. Win, and you're a famed commander for the ages. Lose, and you'll stink for ten thousand years. I carry no less of a burden
