Given Kang Hui's status, he didn't need to do this. He could live a good life in the Northern Alliance.
Even if the aliens did come, the North's forces should be able to hold them off for a while.
After the last war, the Northern Alliance had already begun to consider a mass exodus.
If they couldn't win, they could always run.
As the Northern Alliance's strongest bastion ship, Tyrannosaurus would be included in the exodus. As their commander, Kang Hui wasn't in much danger.
But after listening to Lan Qing's analysis, Kang Hui made his decision without hesitation. For him, this was a difficult decision.
Kang Hui was alone and did not have many attachments. He had never been married, nor did he have any children.
He was completely focused on military affairs.
It was precisely because of this that he was so carefree when he chose to participate in this battle.
He trusted Lan Qing's judgment, and he trusted his own.
If the humans really lost this battle, then the entire human world would be heading towards extinction.
A mass exodus was possible.
However, no one knew how many years it would take for the human race to develop to its current scale.
Moreover, only a small portion of the population could be taken with them.
What about the rest of the people?
What would happen to them?
Kang Hui came from a modest family, and this was something he was most sensitive to.
He had always taken it as his duty to protect the country.
But now, if he couldn't even do this, he felt that he wasn't a qualified soldier at all.
So he came without hesitation, to participate in this war.
Even if this was his last stand, even if he was defeated, at least he wouldn't have any regrets.
"What do you think our chances are in this war?" The Terminator asked Kang Hui in a low voice.
Kang Hui shook his head. "I can't say for sure yet.
We haven't been able to find out the details.
There's no doubt the aliens want to attack the West. They want to destroy one of our territories first.
The Western Alliance and the Eastern Alliance were weak at the time.
But I've calculated that the farther the distance, the more energy it takes to teleport.
Back then, the Western Alliance's territory was much closer than the Eastern Alliance.
At the same time, the Western Alliance had too many administrative planets, which was probably why the aliens had chosen them.
These Marauders know us too well.
Therefore, the only way to defeat them is to catch them off guard. "
"Admiral Lan Qing's message is shocking. If we allow this powerful creature to evolve, then our world is doomed.
Under the circumstances, we simply have no other choice.
We can only do our best to complete this battle.
Unfortunately, the military refused to listen to my suggestion.
Otherwise, we'll have a much better chance of winning if we go all out again. "
The Terminator shook his head. "No, you're wrong.
If we go all out, we might not have a better chance. "
Kang Hui was stunned. "Why?"
"When it comes to military command," the Terminator said.
But in terms of human nature, he's better than you.
The aliens had been working hard to personify themselves. They were a highly intelligent race, and when they thought about problems, they had to avoid the disadvantages.
Think about it, if we were to launch an all-out attack, do you think we'd be able to fool them with so many Bastions and ships?
I don't think we could.
What choice would they make then? "
"It's true that teleporting takes a lot out of them.
But if they find us and fly away, do you think we'll be able to catch them?
At that point, we'll have to resort to guerilla warfare.
The aliens' colonizing abilities are incredible. All they need to do is send progenitors to any planet they pass, and all humanity will be in trouble.
When that happens, we'll be stuck in a quagmire.
That's why I didn't go all out in the negotiations with the military. If I had given you my full support, the military would have been able to send two more Bastions.
But in my opinion, two more Bastions won't be of much use. "
Kang Hui looked at the Terminator in surprise. This was the first time he'd heard the Terminator talk about this.
The Terminator smiled. "Of the Northern Alliance's Bastions, the one with the most power is your Tyrannosaurus.
The other bastions had enough firepower, but in terms of command, experience, and courage, they were lacking.
The Northern Alliance can't afford to fall into chaos.
The Northern Alliance needs them to keep it under control.
That's why, after careful consideration, I've decided to send only you and Tyrannosaurus. "
"But if that's the case, our chances of winning will be slim," Kang Hui said, puzzled.
The Terminator shook his head. "It's precisely because you think so that the aliens think the same.
That's the only way we'll have a chance.
Don't underestimate Lan Qing. From what I can tell, he's a Bastion by himself.
He and Lan Jue must have a plan.
What's more, there were so many powerful Paragons around them.
Now they have the support of the Hanhai Group.
With three of the strongest Bastions in the world, who's to say we don't have a chance?
With the right tactics, it's possible to turn the tide. "
"More importantly, I trust that man." The Terminator's eyes narrowed as he spoke.
"Who do you believe in?" Chu Cheng, who'd been silent until now, couldn't help but ask.
The Hades bloodline had turned out in full force, and Chu Cheng, as the Paragon, had officially taken over as head of the family.
He was also the true leader of the Northern Alliance.
The Terminator smiled. "Other than that old faker the Clairvoyant, who else could make me trust him?
Before he died, he came to me once, and we had a long, heartfelt talk.
He told me that humanity's crisis was confusing, that he couldn't see it clearly.
But when it comes, all we have to do is follow our destiny and support Destiny's Child. Then we'll have a better chance. "
"Destiny's Child?" Chu Cheng asked.
"What's that?"
The Terminator smiled. "It's Lan Jue."
"Lan Jue?" Chu Cheng paused.
The Terminator nodded. "To be honest, I did want to kill that kid, but I didn't.
In some ways he's not as good as Lan Qing, but in others he's better than Lan Qing.
He had a special charisma that would subconsciously attract a lot of people to his side.
Think about it, Jun'Er is like that. The Pharmacist is like that. You are like that. Many others are like that.
He's like a magnet. Unknowingly, many people choose to trust him.
It's like there's a mysterious force behind all of this. "
Chu Cheng paused. But when he thought about it, it seemed to be the case.
The Terminator sighed. "At first I wanted to go against the Clairvoyant's words. But as time went on I realized the old faker really was strong. His words weren't wrong.
In the face of such a crisis, we can only follow the will of the heavens. "
Kang Hui's heart had calmed by now.
No wonder Tyrannosaurus didn't encounter much resistance when it left. The Terminator had been the one who'd planned it all.
"Your Majesty, what's next …"
The Terminator smiled. "It's simple. All you have to do is listen to Lan Qing.
Let him lead this war.
As for the Northern Alliance, you don't need to worry.
Within the Northern Alliance, you're their secret weapon. If we lose, you'll be a traitor. Public opinion will condemn you.
But you're just one person. What's there to worry about?
At that time, he would be dead, and everything would naturally vanish into thin air.
If we win, you'll be a hero of the North. You'll be the next head of the military. "
Kang Hui smiled wryly. "So you've planned all of this."
The Terminator smiled. "It's not really planned. It's only natural.
I'm telling you this because I hope you understand.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We'll do everything we can. I don't plan on going back alive.
If we can't wipe out the aliens, I'll leave my old life to them. "
"Sir!
We've entered designated area. We've discovered Eastern Alliance patrol ships.
Should we contact them? "The staff officer reported.
"Contact them. I need to get in touch with Admiral Lan Qing as soon as possible." Kang Hui ordered.
Tyrannosaurus had been silent the entire time they were on their way.
It wasn't that they were afraid of being discovered by the aliens, but that they didn't want to be intercepted.
Alone, they were no match for the aliens.
Before long, Lan Qing's face appeared on the screen.
"Hello, Admiral Lan Qing." Kang Hui saluted to Lan Qing.
Lan Qing returned the gesture. "Hello, Admiral Kang Hui. Thank you and your Bastion for coming."
Kang Hui smiled. "It's an honor to fight shoulder to shoulder with the An Lun supersoldier.
I've already discussed this with His Majesty the Terminator.
You'll be in charge of this campaign, and we'll cooperate with your every command.
From now on, my Bastion and my two fleets will be at your disposal. "
Lan Qing paused. He hadn't expected Kang Hui to hand over command to him so easily.
After all, Tyrannosaurus was the strongest ship in the Northern Alliance. Kang Hui was a famous commander, and far more experienced than Lan Qing himself.
Lan Qing was surprised that he would say something like this.
"Admiral Kang Hui, you …"
Kang Hui smiled. "I believe in you, Admiral Lan Qing. Our entire army believes in you.
There's no need to be so polite. "
Lan Qing looked him in the eye. "Very well.
Then it would be impolite of me to refuse.
First I'd like you and your fleet to join us. Then I'd like you to come to Middle Heaven for a meeting. "
