"Ling Feng, I just heard you say..."
Tang Ru had crept over at some point.
Ling Feng cast a indifferent glance at her.
Tang Ru was startled and quickly waved her hands at Ling Feng, saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overhear. It was unintentional..."
Ling Feng's gaze softened slightly as he recognized the three people approaching him.
Li Gensheng stepped forward first, "Were those people from Wokou?"
Ling Feng nodded, "Yes, they've already attacked our doorstep!"
Li Gensheng gritted his teeth, "This isn't just attacking our doorstep, it's attacking our bedroom! They're bastards, we must retaliate. This matter absolutely cannot be treated as if it never happened!"
Ling Feng nodded at Li Gensheng. He knew very well that his current achievements were largely due to his decisive orders and strong retaliation.
This was the spirit inherited from the heroes of the older generation!
Ling Feng could endure for a time, but if his bottom line was crossed, there would be no room for negotiation.
Feng Qingya, standing beside them, also gritted her teeth, her expression solemn, as if ready to go to battle at any moment.
Tang Ru, on the other hand, said with a slight tremor in her voice, "But if war breaks out, many people might die..."
Ling Feng shook his head at Tang Ru, "This isn't war. It's just Wokou. What we're going to do is a massacre!"
Massacre!?
Tang Ru shivered all over. Those two simple words had already made everyone feel the terrifying killing intent emanating from Ling Feng!
Li Gensheng couldn't help but furrow his brows, "This..."
"Three days is enough time to evacuate all innocent Wokou civilians. Only the guilty will remain. Rest assured!"
Ling Feng naturally understood what they were thinking and said in a deep voice.
Li Gensheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qingya nudged Li Gensheng's arm, "Do you even need to remind him of this? Your Excellency is a divine general, he would never kill indiscriminately! Wokou's actions this time are their own doing, and this is an opportunity for our Great Hua to expand its territory!"
Li Gensheng's old eyes lit up. For generations, they had protected the land passed down by their ancestors!
Much of it had been lost over time. Once taken by others, reclaiming it would require decades, even centuries, and the efforts of several generations.
And it had left indelible scars on countless people.
But this time it was different. They were about to expand their territory, and the thought alone made one's blood boil!
"To achieve great deeds!"
Li Gensheng finally uttered a few words!
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Esteemed elder, rest assured, this is just the beginning. Sooner or later, Great Hua will achieve unification of Yamato!"
Li Gensheng's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ling Feng, "You mean... you're going to..."
"Yes, monsters reproduce and evolve much faster than humans. It's not easy to fight them. I want to unite all humanity, to eliminate internal strife, so unification is necessary! Anyone who stands in my way is my enemy! This might cause many deaths, but it's something I have to do!"
Ling Feng's expression turned icy as he spoke word by word.
Li Gensheng gasped and then nodded repeatedly at Ling Feng, indicating his complete understanding!
However, Li Gensheng and Feng Qingya were momentarily unable to accept this news, as it was something they had never even dared to imagine in their wildest dreams!
"Old man, then, do we still have a chance to go to the battlefield?"
Feng Qingya inexplicably asked.
Li Gensheng couldn't help but tremble, then straightened his chest and looked at Ling Feng, "As long as Great Hua needs us, we are always..."
Ling Feng smiled and shook his head, "Esteemed elders, I'm telling you these things precisely to hear your thoughts. Seeing your support, I know the path I'm taking is not wrong. As for fighting and killing, you two should put it behind you. If you truly want to contribute, rear-echelon command and coordination are where you can best exert your efforts!"
Li Gensheng and Feng Qingya exchanged glances, then nodded repeatedly at Ling Feng.
"Wherever we are needed, we can go at any time!"
Tang Ru, at this moment, couldn't help but grab Ling Feng's arm, "Then our..."
"It won't delay things. I've given them three days. If they fail to meet all my requirements within these three days, then after dealing with Wokou, the subsequent plans will be postponed. We must secure our own house before dealing with external threats. At that time, I will carry out a thorough rectification, and only when we are fully prepared can we act!"
Ling Feng said word by word, his expression extremely solemn!
Tang Ru took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly, "Alright, just be careful. If it can be resolved through negotiation..."
"Negotiation requires compromise of interests. No one is willing to give up their own interests, so for me, there's no need for pointless talk. What I need to do is conquer. Only after everyone bows their heads will they listen, remember, and act!"
Ling Feng said word by word, then slowly raised his hands and clenched them tightly, "This is why I have always pursued power! Only absolute power can make some foolish people have a calm conversation with you!"
War was imminent.
This was something all three of them knew.
At the same time, Yang Fei also quickly received Ling Feng's orders.
All actions were initiated!
The supervisory officers in the Jiang Province war zone were immediately dismissed, and then a large number of soldiers arrived. After such a major incident had occurred here, no troops had been deployed at all!
This in itself was unreasonable.
Moreover, if Chemi'erkalong and others could so easily infiltrate and operate so freely, it was impossible to believe there were no traitors.
According to Ling Feng's temperament, he would have started a massacre at this point, but Ling Feng did not do so. Instead, he handled everything very calmly. Yang Fei led a group of people over and easily replaced the commanding general system of the Jiang Province war zone.
The actions of the National Martial Arts Hall were even faster, with the Esoteric Buddhist Hall being quickly abolished.
Three days felt like a long time for some, but for Tang Ru, it passed in the blink of an eye!
For these three days, Tang Ru and Ling Feng did not go anywhere else. They simply toured the border of Jiang Province and even ventured into the beast-hunting areas beyond the safety zone!
Li Gensheng and Feng Qingya also accompanied them!
This unusual honeymoon trip gave Tang Ru a hundred and twenty percent anticipation of sweet happiness!
And during these three days, the entire world was unusually quiet. Even though they had all noticed the abnormal situation in Wokou three nights ago, and even in the following two days, some evacuated and settled Wokou citizens had leaked some information.
Yet, there was still no action whatsoever.
Everyone seemed to be blind.
But in reality, all of this was due to a satellite video footage that had been circulating among high-level officials of various countries.
It was the scene of Ling Feng sweeping across the army with a single shot, annihilating Chemi'erkalong and others. With the Heavenly God of War personally taking action, who dared to obstruct him!?
