Chapter 83 Ceasefire and Declaration of War! This is War (Seeking First Subscription!)
"Damn boss! How could he be so despicable! Threatening us, ordinary people of our race?!"
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
"What do we do now?!"
"Contact other people in the city and have them go and arrest the boss!"
"Can you catch him? Lord Lelouch led so many people to catch him, and so many people died in the end, but he still didn't catch him."
"Damn it, my daughter is only three years old, and my house is not far from the Lelouch family's house..."
After a brief silence, the centaur tribe erupted in a commotion.
They were really worried.
Let them fight; they are fearless in the face of death.
But when the park's mysterious owner suddenly appeared in the city of Buri, they panicked.
Because their families are all there!
This was something they never expected to happen; they came in droves to destroy human cities.
But I never expected my house to be robbed?
Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one person... these centaurs have all witnessed how terrifying the boss is.
That attack that summons meteorites could inflict a terrible blow on the city of Brie!
This time, most of the professionals at level 2 and above came out, and no one in Bri City was a match for the boss!
The centaurs panicked and instinctively looked at Rulfo.
"grown ups……"
They spoke anxiously.
Luffy's expression was actually the worst, and he was the most anxious.
Because of the footage the boss is currently filming...
That's his house!
In other words, if the war continues, the first to die will be...
They are his family!
"Boss, you despicable and shameless scoundrel!!"
He broke down and started cursing.
The boss's voice came through the loudspeaker, very calm: "Before criticizing others, have you also examined what you've done?"
"Enough with the unnecessary words, now give me your answers."
"Should we continue, or stop here?"
“If you continue, then there’s nothing more to say. I will walk through each centaur city one by one, and Bri will be the first… Of course, you can try to stop me.”
"If you're going to stop here... then you should leave."
"Whether to fight or to make peace is entirely up to you."
"Make your decision."
The boss's voice was amplified throughout the entire battlefield.
Similarly, the information was transmitted throughout Iron Teeth City via hidden cameras.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the centaurs' decision.
...This concerns the fate of everyone in Iron Teeth City.
The centaurs were in a very passive position.
Rufus and the others' expressions changed, and they were speechless for a moment.
Shen Changyuan gave a signal, and the human professionals slowly retreated, breaking away from the entanglement with the centaurs.
The centaurs had no intention of continuing their entanglement, and the two sides gradually came to a standoff on the battlefield.
Rulfo and Titus, along with other high-ranking centaur leaders, gathered together and began to discuss in hushed tones.
Time passed little by little.
Qin Xiaoyou stood seemingly calmly under the white curtain, but she could feel countless gazes directed at her.
A series of prompts appeared on the panel.
[You have been probed by a detection item, triggering the 'Liar's Mask (Paradise Imitation)' resistance detection function. The detection item's tier is not higher than Excellent, and the resistance was successful.]
[You have been probed by a detection item, triggering the 'Liar's Mask (Paradise Imitation)' resistance detection function. The detection item's tier is not higher than Excellent, and the resistance was successful.]
...
This made her feel a little uneasy.
But she forced herself to remain calm and composed.
...My brother asked me to do something first, and I absolutely cannot disgrace 'Paradise'!
She calmly surveyed the entire battlefield, confirming that no centaur had left halfway through.
Several human assassins behind her were also secretly observing her. However, since she was wearing a mask, they naturally didn't gain anything.
Time passed slowly, and the boss didn't urge them. The big screen showed scenes of centaur children playing in the city, creating an eerie atmosphere.
More than ten minutes passed before Rulf's voice rang out again, his teeth clenched: "If we stop fighting, then all those innocent warriors of my race died in vain? You humans... especially you, boss... you have to give my race an explanation! Otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, his boss interrupted him: "What else? Have you decided to continue the fight? Then you guys continue, I'll start here too."
After he finished speaking, a red light appeared in the camera's view.
Rudolph was stunned. The next moment, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Stop!"
The scene paused for a moment, then the boss's calm voice rang out: "What? Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Luluf stared intently at the oblivious centaur child on the screen, his teeth practically grinding together: "We agree to a truce!"
"Hmm, are you going to explain? Do you want more?"
Luffy's eyes were practically bulging with blood. He gritted his teeth and said, "An explanation is absolutely necessary! If you think you can kill so many of my people and then pretend nothing happened, you're mistaken!"
"Don't think you can take us down with my people! Our war will continue! It's just... it won't affect each other's cities anymore."
"But from today onwards, any human professional who dares to leave the city will be punished by my centaur race!"
"I can tell you this clearly, and it will not change!"
"And if my city is attacked by you or any human... my race will spare no effort to completely slaughter the humans of Iron Fang City and Spirit Platform City!"
Luffy's gritted teeth echoed across the battlefield and were also broadcast throughout Ironfang City via cameras.
The expressions of everyone who heard this changed.
“That’s good, and it’s in line with my expectations. I was really afraid that you would suddenly say, ‘Let’s stop the war completely.’... You want an explanation for the deaths of your people, and I also want you to give me an explanation.”
"From this moment forward, this will be my personal war against you."
“From today onwards, if I encounter centaurs in non-centaur cities, I will kill them all without mercy.”
"Of course you can try to find me, ambush me, or kill me. I'll take it all."
"But don't try to threaten me by attacking human cities again."
“If something like this happens again, I will not give you any further notice. I will spare no effort to traverse every city of your centaur tribe, including but not limited to Buri and Shiva… If you have a way to stop me, then try it.”
"Now that things have come to this, let's..."
"retreat!"
The camera pans to the boss's face, a mysterious black mask, indifferent and cold eyes, as if projecting onto the faces of all the centaurs through a giant screen.
Luffy was so embarrassed by Qin Fang's sharp retort that he turned red in the face.
But thinking of his family, and with the enemy in his city, he gritted his teeth and finally roared, "Take the corpses of your people and retreat!"
The centaurs, their faces contorted with suppressed rage, glared at the human city with bloodshot eyes.
In the end, they carried the corpses of their own people on the ground.
At the same time, pick up the surrounding debris.
"Hey, take your centaur stuff back with you! What right do you have to touch my human stuff?!"
A boy's voice suddenly rang out.
The centaurs instinctively looked up and saw a boy behind the humans, being watched closely by some professionals, looking up at them with his head held high and no fear on his face.
...Yun Yue, who came here to die but failed.
The group of teenagers behind him also shouted loudly, "That's right! What right do you have to touch my things?! Put them down!"
"lay down!!"
"lay down!"
A great battle ensued, resulting in the deaths of many, both centaurs and humans.
The dead would naturally drop some equipment and other items. At this moment, the centaurs were cleaning up the corpses of their people and also picked up all the dropped items.
Ruruf and the other centaurs' eyes turned red.
"Only the winner is entitled to the spoils, right? You didn't win this round."
The boss's calm voice rang out, and his masked face appeared on the big screen, as if he were overlooking the entire battlefield.
Luffy and the other centaurs gritted their teeth, but fearing the consequences, Luffy gritted his teeth and said with a dark face, "Only take back the fallen members of our tribe!"
The centaur professionals wore grim expressions, but ultimately only picked up what their own people had dropped.
This time, more than 5,000 centaur professionals came, and nearly 1,000 died in the battle.
But more humans died.
There are probably three or four thousand people!
The ground was stained with blood.
At this moment, only the centaurs were active; Shen Changyuan and the others merely watched from afar, their eyes cold as knives.
The sheer number of casualties is chilling.
The atmosphere was strange and oppressive. The centaurs silently cleaned up the battlefield, while a group of human professionals watched from afar.
Finally, they collected all the corpses and debris of their people, stared intently at the direction of Iron Fang City one last time, and then turned and left in a grand procession.
The human professionals only breathed a long sigh of relief after watching them disappear.
Looking at the chaotic battlefield again, no one cheered.
The centaurs didn't win, and neither did they.
Both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Shen Changyuan looked at the distant light screen. As the centaurs disappeared, the park owner had also hung up the phone at some point.
At the same time, the figure of "Akatsuki," who had been standing there, also disappeared.
Shen Changyuan steadied himself before calmly saying, "Bring back the soldiers' bodies..."
Before leaving, Lelouch issued a declaration of war against all of humanity... although they promised not to attack human cities again.
But the situation for humanity has not improved as a result.
This is especially true for professionals.
In the short term, even leveling up will become a major problem for professionals in both Iron Fang and Lingtai cities...
But now is not the time to think about that; cleaning up the battlefield is the top priority.
The atmosphere remained somber, especially upon seeing the corpses of their companions.
These former colleagues, who were just moments ago vibrant and alive around them, are now lifeless corpses, many without even a complete body.
The official professionals entered the battlefield with somber expressions to clean up the mess. Some girls even burst into tears, staring blankly at the corpses on the ground.
Among them were their colleagues, as well as their lovers, brothers, and friends.
This is war.
...
After hanging up the video call, Qin Fang looked down at the centaur children running around, laughing and playing happily.
