Yuri slammed the table and cursed, "Tsk, you think you are the Emperor's angel!"
"Even Astartes would not dare to lead a group of mortals alone to join Lunar-class Cruiser!"
"What's the difference between this and committing suicide? If you die, all of us will be finished!"
He scolded fiercely, but his eyes were filled with panic that he couldn't hide.
The meeting room exploded instantly, and everyone's expressions were ugly.
Fu Haoran Raise your hand and press it down gently.
"Okay, no need to persuade you."
"I can't let others die for my own selfish desires."
"Isn't the life of others life?"
He paused and glanced at every face around the conference table.
Ronan, Kaim, Hawk, Wade... are all brothers who climbed out of the Lower Hive mud pit.
"If I, the governor, don't dare to go, what reason do others have to risk their lives?"
Fu Haoran stood up and raised his hand to sweep away the noble impeachment documents on the table.
The parchments with golden emblems printed on them were scattered all over the floor, piled at their feet like garbage.
His voice suddenly rose in pitch, like a thunder that exploded in everyone's heart:
"Does the prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts?!"
"Those nobles were born to sit on top of us and dominate us. Why?!"
"While we were dying in Lower Hive, eating our last meal without finishing our meal, and being beaten to death at will, they were living in debauchery in Upper Hive, treating human life as nothing!"
He pointed out the window. In the dusk, the lights of Upper Hive were already lighting up one after another, as bright as the stars.
"Now, since we have a chance to get back what is rightfully ours, even if we die, we must die on the way to charge!"
Fu Haoran walked to the door and opened it.
"If anyone wants to quit, he can leave now. I won't blame him."
The conference room fell into dead silence.
No one moved.
Suddenly, Wade stood up.
All eyes fell on him.
He has the highest military rank here. Before the rebellion started, he was a school officer. He worked hard in Lower Hive for more than ten years and worked hard to reach this position.
Fu Haoran gave him the opportunity to stand in the sun and no longer have to look at the nobles' faces.
But now, he has another option.
If he withdraws, the nobles will probably not give him any trouble.
They need a junior officer to do the dirty work.
Besides, Wade has several children at home, so there is no need to take this risk.
Wade walks towards the door.
Fu Haoran looked at him and said nothing.
Just when others thought he was leaving, Wade closed the door behind his back.
He turned around, saluted solemnly towards Fu Haoran, and hit his chest with a fist in his right hand.
"My lord, where are you going, I will go!"
"Whatever you need us to do, just ask!"
Ronan stood up second.
Kaim The third one.
Hawk The fourth one, this gray-haired veteran slammed the table and shouted:
"Governor, I have died in Lower Hive all my life! It was you who gave me a bite to eat and gave my grandson a way to live! I leave my old life to you!"
One after another.
Everyone stood up and hit their chests with their right fists.
Finally, Yuri stood up cursing.
"Fuck! Count me in!"
He kicked the chair away, walked up to Fu Haoran, and pointed at his nose:
"You're not afraid of death, but I'm a smuggler and you're nothing like me!"
After scolding him, he sat back on the chair and muttered again, "I don't have any family anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if I died."
"But I'll tell you the ugly story first. If you dare to die on top, I will immediately run away with your arsenal and will never collect your body."
Synchronous orbit, Lunar-class Cruiser.
Valerius Commodore Costa was sitting on the command chair on the bridge, holding a red wine glass in his hand, chatting and laughing with the nobles on the communicator.
"Fu Haoran That boy, what are you going to fight with me for?"
He sneered and swung the red wine in his glass, his tone as contemptuous as talking to an ant.
"His broken ship is not even worthy of being used as a target for me."
The subordinate asked in a low voice, "Sir, dinner... what if he resists?"
"Resist?" Valerius laughed, unbridled.
"I have arranged thirty Drukhari mercenaries at the dinner party. As long as Fu Haoran dares to move, they will be killed directly on the spot."
"Even if he can win the banquet hall, if I go down Macro-cannon in one round, not only Governor's Office, but also the surrounding Mid-Hive blocks will be leveled."
"The lives of a bunch of Lower Hive guys will be lost if they die. Just make room for me to collect Tithe."
He took a sip of wine and narrowed his eyes.
"Fu Haoran If he knows the truth and hands over the power obediently, I can still spare his life. If he doesn't know the truth..."
He paused and looked at the gray-brown planet outside the window.
"When I went to Macro-cannon in that round, even his ashes were raised."
The meeting ended and everyone dispersed.
Fu Haoran leaned against the door, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, leaving only the exhaustion that could not be concealed.
Lucifer was leaning on the sofa, holding an ice coke from 2K World in his hand, and rarely took the initiative to speak:
"You're doing something stupid."
Fu Haoran said nothing.
She put down the cup and looked at him with her emerald eyes. "I can take you away, no one can catch up."
Fu Haoran shook his head.
Lucifer raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything like you couldn't win.
She has lived for tens of thousands of years and is used to life, death and war in the galaxy.
Lucifer threw a piece of Data Pad. Fu Haoran caught it and glanced at it. It turned out to be the holographic structure diagram of Lunar-class Cruiser. The positions of the bridge, power core, and Void Shield Generator were all clearly marked.
Lucifer leaned on the sofa and said lazily, "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to watch my allies die stupidly."
"If you die up there, I'll have to find someone else to chat with."
Fu Haoran gripped Data Pad tightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't say anything, turned around and opened the weapons box in the corner.
In the box, a tactical nuclear bomb was lying quietly. It was found on the aircraft carrier S.H.I.E.L.D.. It was used to bomb the New York bomb in Avengers 1.
Lucifer looked at the nuclear bomb and frowned. "Are you going to use this? Will we both die together?"
"Yes."
Fu Haoran raised his hand and fixed the nuclear bomb on his exoskeleton Power Armour.
"When the situation is really desperate, I use it to blow up Void Shield Generator and take Valerius with me on the road."
"At least blast a way out for the brothers."
Lucifer was silent.
After a long time, she spoke:
"I don't understand."
"Don't understand what?"
"You can live, but you have to choose the most difficult path." There was no mockery in her tone, just a statement.
"When you die, there is nothing."
"Lucifer, you don't understand." He turned around and looked at her with light in his eyes.
"My ancestors have told me for thousands of years that the humiliation of surrender is worse than death."
"Even if he is a king, he would rather die fighting for the sake of the country than give up his country."
"So, in our eyes, we would rather die standing than live on our knees."
His voice was not loud, but it pierced the air like nails.
"You don't know what "even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go"."
"When I brought my brothers out, I will take them back. Even if I can't go back, I will hold Valerius on my back and earn a living for their families."
Lucifer looked at him for a long time.
Finally, she picked up the drink and turned away.
"As you wish."
Half an hour later, the combat command room.
Fu Haoran ordered to Wade, "Let all those who jumped into the gang go home. Within six hours, everyone must return to the team before sunset."
Wade was stunned suddenly and subconsciously said, "Sir, if the secret is leaked..."
"No."
Fu Haoran looked out the window, Mid-Hive the lights were already lit up, "They know what this battle means. And..."
He paused, with a hint of imperceptible softness in his voice, "Letting them see their families for the last time is the only thing I can do now."
Wade's Adam's apple moved, he saluted with a military salute, turned around and took the order.
After the order was passed down, the entire military camp was silent for a few seconds, and then the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded.
No one said a word among the three thousand commandos. They all packed their things silently, and walked in pairs toward home.
No one spoke, but everyone knew in their hearts that this was probably the last time they would see their families.
