Only Wei Laoqi, though he also felt his face burning, felt as if Xueyi's words were equivalent to several slaps in the face.
But he didn't lose his composure and fall into self-anger like everyone else.
He remained rational, knowing that no matter how much his equipment was upgraded, it would still be no match for these aliens.
If equipment could make up for everything, then the Earth Star government wouldn't have been able to immediately create a Super Soldier Company to deal with it.
"Brothers, don't be discouraged!! This was just an accident."
"We've done our best," Wei Laoqi said with a helpless, bitter smile.
But a voice, full of opposition to him, tried to stir things up: "An accident?? Seventh Brother Wei, what am I supposed to say to you?"
"This is your problem! You're responsible for that damned demon getting away unscathed!!"
"..." Old Master Wei's face darkened, and he looked in the direction of the voice.
He was a rather overweight soldier, wearing the same uniform as Wei Laoqi, but with one less medal than Wei Laoqi.
His appearance was completely at odds with his profession; if one had to describe him, the phrase "fat-headed and big-eared" would be most fitting.
However, he was indeed a soldier.
He is the battalion commander of the Beihu City Military Region.
The Beihu City Military Region is quite large, and normally there would be more than three battalions here.
One of them was on friendly terms with Wei Laoqi, but there were also some who disliked Wei Laoqi's existence.
He is, for example, a case in point.
Because of Wei Laoqi's sudden appearance, his status as a battalion commander instantly declined.
Although Wei Laoqi was also a battalion commander, his rank had already been quietly promoted because he was the first soldier to come into contact with extraterrestrial life forms.
Many battalion commanders who were originally of the same rank as him had to humbly seek his advice.
And Wei Laoqi inexplicably became a company commander.
Although Wei Laoqi never boasted like that from beginning to end.
However, many battalion commanders have already tacitly approved.
The fat, big-eared battalion commander in front of me is one of the opponents.
However, Wei Laoqi was always diligent and meticulous in his work, and even when he made mistakes, they were always under Zhixin's leadership.
Therefore, he never got this opportunity.
Now that Zhi Xin is gone and Wei Laoqi is going his own way, he naturally won't let go of this once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
"Zhao Daming, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by making Lao Qi the sole person responsible??"
"Nobody expected that such a powerful female monster would suddenly appear on the other side?"
"I'm warning you, watch your words! Don't demoralize the troops!"
"This was an accident; no one could have predicted it!!"
"Ha!" Zhao Daming sneered disdainfully, "It was an accident! I didn't say it wasn't. I just think that we clearly had a chance before this accident happened."
"Just like I said before, if we don't choose to capture them alive, but instead shoot them all indiscriminately!"
"Even if this female monster attacks, all that awaits her are the corpses of her own kind."
"And you, because you wanted to claim credit for something in the short term, caused this situation. Don't you need to take responsibility for this?"
"Old Wang, are you out of your mind??"
The old man's face immediately turned ashen.
But he was bad at talking and couldn't win an argument with Zhao Daming.
Fortunately, there were exactly five battalion commanders in Huangshi City.
Apart from Zhao Daming, the other four almost addressed each other as brothers.
Sure enough, a tall and burly man appeared. Although he was old, his face still bore the marks of his glorious youth.
"Idiot!! Seventh Brother's decision was instructed by Sister Zhixin."
"You mean to say that Zhixin's decision was flawed? Don't forget, who saved your battalion?"
"If it weren't for Sister Zhixin, you would have been a lone commander long ago."
“Old Ma! I know it was Zhixin who saved me, and I’m not saying that Zhixin’s decision was wrong.”
"I just want to say that Zhixin is only providing solutions. We can't rely on Zhixin forever; we also need to use our own brains."
"The battlefield is ever-changing, we can't use the same template all the time, we need to be flexible! Understand?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Daming immediately changed his tone.
He spoke very objectively, as if everything he said made sense.
Unfortunately, Old Ma couldn't stand it: "Bullshit! When I was fighting the war, you were still wearing trousers, and now you're lecturing me?!"
“Old Ma, I’m not lecturing you! I’m just expressing my opinion. We can’t let some things negate the fact that Wei Laoqi’s inflexibility led to the rescue of that dying alien bastard, right?” Zhao Daming said calmly and meaningfully.
Old Ma was so angry that his face was as red as if it were exposed to strong sunlight: "Your mother!!"
“Old Ma, you’re wrong. I’m just pointing out an error that occurred because of one of Wei Laoqi’s decisions.”
"Wrong my ass!!"
"Stop it!!"
"Old Ma, that's enough!" The argument was getting a bit heated, and Old Wei had no choice but to speak up and stop it.
He knew, of course, that Zhao Daming was only saying these things to annoy him and then demand command.
However, given Zhao Daming's situation, Wei Laoqi really couldn't relinquish this command.
Because Zhao Daming is very likely a hidden danger.
One of the reasons Luoyang fell was that Zhao Daming quietly withdrew from the border and did not provide support to the local military region of Luoyang.
Although Zhao Daming explained that Luoyang had already fallen, and that he would only be throwing his life away if he did not retreat.
Compared to Luoyang, Huangshi City is easier to defend than to attack.
However, Wei Laoqi always felt that something was wrong, because it did not conform to the mindset of Chinese soldiers.
Wei Laoqi let out a deep breath. He couldn't relinquish command, but he had to shut Zhao Daming up.
Otherwise, morale will truly waver.
Wei Laoqi could not deny that he had missed an opportunity to kill a general of the demon civilization.
Wei Laoqi said earnestly, "Commander Zhao is right! It was my oversight."
"This is my responsibility! I will accept the punishment myself."
"Once Zhixin returns, I'll have her re-selected as a new commander! What do you think?"
"Old Seven!"
"Seven!! You really don't need to."
Why are you even bothering with this idiot?
Wei Laoqi's remarks were met with disapproval from the other battalion commanders, who felt that Wei Laoqi was being too impulsive and hot-tempered.
Wei Laoqi stretched out his hand, his expression unchanged, and said, "My mind is made up!! Those who deserve punishment should be punished, otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public!!"
Wei Laoqi couldn't help but chuckle to himself. Given Zhi Xin's personality, he would never relinquish his command.
Not to mention, he was not only the battalion commander of Nanhu City, but also the battalion commander who had followed Qiangwei the longest.
Although Wei Laoqi knew he couldn't compare to some super soldiers, he was more than capable of being compared to other battalion commanders.
He has absolute confidence.
He is a dutiful and responsible person, but that doesn't mean he's brainless.
"Good! Well said." This time, Zhao Daming did not press the matter further; he had already achieved his goal.
Next, all we need to do is cooperate with Commander-in-Chief Long Diao to find an opportunity to replace the other battalion commanders, and then he will become the real company commander.
As for the burning heart
There's no way he'll wake up!!
Zhao Daming's lips curled up slightly as he envisioned his future: an endless lifespan, absolute power, and a king sitting on his throne, reigning supreme over the world.
The scene shifts to Sheryl, who doesn't immediately return to Devil One.
He was holding Atuo, his fate unknown.
This made Xueyi roll her eyes: "Aren't you going to wake up yet??"
"How long are you going to play dead?!"
"Uh!" With a shout from Xueyi, Atuo, who was being held, coughed violently and slowly opened his eyes.
He endured the excruciating pain in his abdomen and said in a low voice, "I'm not faking death, I really can't exert any strength."
"My chest has been pierced! That bitch!"
"I don't know what material the weapon is made of! It's completely different from those high-ranking guardian angels we've encountered before."
"My divine body is practically useless."
"Really?? That strong? I can't tell?" Xueyi was unconvinced. Seeing Ato wake up, she threw him out without any politeness.
She didn't want to be with an ugly male devil.
That's beneath you.
Ato, who had been thrown out, paled drastically and cried out, "Snowy, you!!"
His wings couldn't keep him in the air; he was like a hot air balloon weighing hundreds of pounds, unable to rise and only falling.
hum!
Shee ignored it, and suddenly Atto's whole body emitted a dark light. The next moment, Atto's wings flapped reflexively.
His strength gradually returned.
"This is... the connection has been restored??" The pain in Ato's body disappeared completely, replaced by a feeling of refreshment.
