Chapter 175: Temporary Worker

The temporary commander couldn't believe that Jin Shao would be so ruthless as to disregard the lives of his own people. This was challenging the laws of humanity!

It was well-known that in human law, there was a rule that under no circumstances should one abandon their companions. It was this mandatory law that gave humanity its cohesion. Once it became known that someone had abandoned their comrades and fled, not only would they be ridiculed by all of humanity, but they would also break the law.

The punishment for such actions could range from being sent to the front lines to being executed. There were numerous examples of this!

If Jin Shao were to give this command, regardless of whether they won or lost the battle, his fate would not be a good one.

The temporary commander clenched his fists, his veins popping out on his arms. He suppressed the urge to slap Jin Shao and spoke in a low voice, "Jin Shao, not only would I not give this command, but even Golden Emperor himself would not do such a thing."

"What did you say? Are you saying that my command is wrong?" Jin Shao's eyes widened as he pointed outside and shouted, "Look at the situation outside. When the Mutants reach the city walls, they will die! They will all die, so they might as well die with some value! Just give them the title of martyr, who cares what the ordinary people think?"

Suddenly, some of the soldiers around him tightly gripped their weapons. An impulse rising from within almost made them attack Jin Shao.

They were all Transcendents, but they also had ordinary people as friends and family. Jin Shao's words completely treated them as tools and the ordinary people as fools!

If it weren't for a hint of rationality, the temporary commander would have really wanted to beat Jin Shao to death.

The temporary commander took a deep breath and just as he was about to say something, a voice came over, "Jin Shao, I am very interested in what you said. Do you think the highest human court would like someone like you?"

"Who are you?" Jin Shao furrowed his brows, realizing that he didn't recognize this person.

Besides the soldiers, the only ones who could stand here were some strong Transcendents whom Jin Shao almost all knew. Yet, he didn't recognize this person.

The one speaking was Guangtou Qiang, the person he disliked the most.

"He is the newly appointed Deputy under Golden Emperor," the temporary commander said.

"The new Deputy? Isn't he Father's subordinate? I thought it was someone important. You don't have the qualifications to challenge my orders. Follow my commands," Jin Shao said arrogantly upon hearing that it was the Deputy.

The temporary commander decided that even if he died, he could not convey this order. He could not watch his brothers be so unfairly killed by their own people.

Just then, something happened that no one had expected.

Guangtou Qiang took a step forward and punched Jin Shao in the face, sending him flying. They could faintly see bits of his teeth flying out.

The temporary commander was stunned. This new Deputy did what he had wanted to do but he didn't dare to. He was a true hero!

"Alright, there will be no more trouble now. After the battle, I will resign from my position as Deputy and give everyone an explanation," Guangtou Qiang said calmly.

The temporary commander had nothing to say and bowed to Guangtou Qiang. The surrounding soldiers did the same.

"Guangtou Qiang used his position to exchange countless soldiers' lives, which is worthy of their admiration. However, they did not know that Guangtou Qiang was not originally the Deputy of this Base City. He was just a temporary worker.

Without Jin Shao's interference, the battle between Jin Guang City and the mutants was intense. On the other side, the battle between Four-Armed Emperor and Spy was coming to an end.

Under Spy's reckless fighting style, Four-Armed Emperor was heavily injured and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. He was worried that if this continued, he would perish with Golden Emperor. This was not what he wanted to see.

Golden Emperor didn't want to die. He wanted to live longer. He had just become the emperor and hadn't enjoyed it enough. How could he die here?

"Run!"

Four-Armed Emperor's figure was like the wind. He directly forced Spy back with a punch and then ran away. While running, he also gave the order for all mutants to retreat.

There was no need to continue the fight. This battle was a loss for the mutants, and although it was embarrassing, it was better than losing their lives.

As the mutants retreated, the human cannons didn't stop until they were out of sight of the Base City.

"We won!"

The cheers of the humans rang out on the battlefield. Whether or not they knew each other, they hugged each other and savored this rare victory.

Many of them knew that the biggest credit for this victory was their Golden Emperor and the Arms Dealer who provided them with so many powerful weapons. Without these two factors, their chances of defeating the terrifying mutants would have been much lower.

Communication was convenient, and the results of the battle here were quickly transmitted to other Base Cities. It was no longer like before, when it took many days to know the outcome of a battle.

Many people were quite surprised that Jin Guang City was able to defeat the mutants. After all, the mutants were most famous for their numbers and relied on their large numbers to win.

Golden Emperor's performance was commendable, and other emperors believed that this time, Golden Emperor had shown the style of a human emperor. Even among the same level, human emperors were still the strongest!

Spy had long imitated various character traits and tones of Golden Emperor, so he was able to respond seamlessly and didn't reveal any flaws. Guangtou Qiang left, taking the original Deputy with him. Next, Jin Guang City would be under the control of Commander.

Spy returned to Jin Guang City in the guise of Golden Emperor and reported on the situation on the city wall, with Jin Shao lying unconscious next to him.

Guangtou Qiang had shown mercy, otherwise Jin Shao would have died a long time ago.

"You mean, my son violated human laws and wanted to harm Jin Guang City's soldiers?" Spy's voice was cold.

The temporary commander nodded, thinking that with Golden Emperor's doting personality towards his son, he wouldn't do anything more than say a few words of reprimand.

However, what Golden Emperor did next left him stunned. He saw Golden Emperor wave his hand and an energy blast entered Jin Shao's body. He heard a creepy cracking sound and saw that Golden Emperor had disabled Jin Shao's entire skeletal system. From now on, he would be a useless person.

The temporary commander never imagined that Golden Emperor would lay a hand on his own son and be so ruthless. Was this even logical?

Little did he know that the Golden Emperor in front of him had already been replaced."
