147: Chapter 147 The Motherland Has Arrived!

The surrounding fires grew more numerous. After driving Li Mo and his group to this location, almost all the Black Earth Tribe soldiers rushed toward this spot.

Before long, the sea of Black Earth Tribe soldiers had surrounded Li Mo and his group completely, leaving no way out.

Compared to the full ninety thousand Black Earth Tribe soldiers, Li Mo's group of ten was like a lone boat on the ocean.

Yet, not a single person in the team led by Li Mo showed any expression of fear.

In fact, before applying to join Li Mo's team, every one of them had anticipated this very scene.

"We've killed enough to make it worth it! Even if we go back to the Great Xia, we'll be martyrs at the very least!"

"That's right! The six hundred million people of Great Xia will remember us forever!"

...

After surrounding Li Mo and his group, the remaining Black Earth Tribe soldiers did not act rashly but waited quietly for the arrival of General Gemu.

Because according to the General's orders, they were to capture Li Mo alive.

Not long after, a tall figure slowly emerged from the countless Black Earth Tribe soldiers.

This was also the first time General Gemu had seen Li Mo with his own eyes.

Even now, he could not believe that a young man under twenty years old had caused him so much trouble.

Therefore, General Gemu was relatively respectful toward Li Mo.

Although Li Mo had become a turtle in a jar, General Gemu did not make a move immediately.

"Are you Li Mo? You are the one who first killed ten thousand of my medical unit soldiers, then destroyed my Rainforest Mining Area, and ran for nearly a day and a night under the pursuit and interception of my hundred-thousand-strong army? State your unit designation!"

Since the enemy had shown respect, there was no reason for Li Mo not to respond.

Thus, Li Mo replied with great spirit: "I am Li Mo, Battalion Commander of the Vanguard Battalion directly under Marshal Zhao Zhenyuan of Great Xia. May I ask the General's name?"

General Gemu replied: "General Gemu Howard, Commander-in-Chief of the Third Army of the Black Earth Tribe Alliance. I really didn't expect that a Vanguard Battalion Commander would almost paralyze my five-hundred-thousand-strong Black Earth Tribe army. Impressive, truly impressive!"

General Gemu truly admired Li Mo. At the very least, when he was at Li Mo's rank, he was likely not even one-tenth as capable as Li Mo.

General Gemu Howard?

Upon hearing this name, Li Mo was somewhat surprised. He had not expected an Army Commander-in-Chief of the enemy side to personally come looking for him.

This person was known as the "Ever-Victorious General" of the Black Earth Tribe. In all the campaigns he had commanded in his career, his win rate had consistently been over seventy percent.

Do not underestimate this seventy percent. Among positions like Army Group Commander-in-Chief worldwide, those who could maintain such a win rate could be counted on one hand!

Moreover, he was a Heaven and Earth Realm martial artist, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the Martial God realm.

General Gemu really wanted to capture Li Mo alive, but he understood the iron will of the people of Great Xia; he feared Li Mo would not be so easily subdued.

Therefore, he first attempted a policy of appeasement toward Li Mo.

"Li Mo, a person like you shouldn't die in a place like this! I have a suggestion: why don't you defect to our Black Earth Tribe Alliance?"

"A mere Battalion Commander is truly a waste of your talent! I can guarantee that as long as you join the Black Earth Tribe, we will at least grant you the rank of Colonel and let you command a division! With your talent and aptitude, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for you to climb to my position in time!"

Inducing surrender was an old tradition of the Black Earth Tribe; after all, they were lacking in talent and short on intelligence.

However, upon hearing the word "surrender," Li Mo, Zheng Jiahao, and Xu Feng all exchanged glances and then smiled knowingly.

Nearly a year ago, when they were still in the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Black Earth Tribe already had Liangyi Realm martial artists coming to kill them.

One must know that the gap between the Foundation Establishment Realm and the Liangyi Realm was even greater than that between the Liangyi Realm and the Heaven and Earth Realm.

At the very least, someone in the Liangyi Realm could barely manage to run away when facing someone in the Heaven and Earth Realm.

But when those in the Foundation Establishment Realm faced the Liangyi Realm, they had absolutely no power to resist!

Even in such circumstances, the three of them were able to face death calmly, let alone today!

To be able to die on the battlefield is the fate that many soldiers pursue their entire lives!

Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, surrendering would mean being reviled for ten thousand generations.

Li Mo gave a cold smile: "I only want one position! And that is Morpheus's position! Will you give it to me?"

Morpheus was now the spiritual totem in the hearts of the Black Earth Tribe people. As soon as he heard Li Mo mention wanting Morpheus's position, a chill immediately appeared on General Gemu's face.

"Li Mo! You Great Xia people have an old saying: don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

The two sides had finally completely torn off the mask of civility.

"Boss! Why are you wasting your breath on him? What 'Ever-Victorious General'? Today, one hundred thousand men were killed by our five thousand, with over ten thousand dead! I'd say it's a humiliating defeat!"

"General Gemu! Even if we die in battle here today, I'm afraid you will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history! Hahaha!"

The words of Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng immediately pierced General Gemu's sore spot.

Just as the two had said, General Gemu's title of "Ever-Victorious General" would be completely lost starting today.

One hundred thousand men being counter-killed by five thousand, with over ten thousand dead, was an unprecedented humiliation.

In a fit of rage, General Gemu originally intended to take action himself, but then he thought of Li Mo's mysterious and unpredictable weapon and dared not make any moves.

He did not want to end up like General Erik.

He now had a full ninety thousand people; even if they used a method of exhausting their life force, they could annihilate the few of them.

Thus, General Gemu immediately gave the order: "All of you, charge! Capture Battalion Commander Li Mo alive; as for the others, leave none alive!"

Just after he issued the order, all the Black Earth Tribe people swarmed forward in an instant, launching their final attack on the ten people including Li Mo!

And Li Mo and his group, backs against each other, also began their final decisive battle.

One hour later...

Li Mo's squad had already lost four men in battle, leaving only six: Zheng Jiahao, Xu Feng, Wu Yuqing, Qin Zhengnan, and Ant Man.

However, although they were still alive, they were covered in blood, their life force was nearly exhausted, and even the life force recovery medicine carried by Wu Yuqing was completely depleted.

The corpses at their feet had piled up into a small hill, numbering at least seven or eight hundred.

Even General Gemu did not expect them to be so tenacious!

Of course, this was also because he had not let officers above the Sanhe Realm take action; he feared that Li Mo's weapon would kill the officers above the Sanhe Realm, which would not be worth the loss.

"Come on! Come on!"

At this time, Xu Feng was so tired that his legs were weak, acting purely on instinct, yet he was still shouting at the enemy army.

Li Mo's situation was actually not much better; he could no longer hold the spear in his hand firmly.

In ten minutes at most, the six of them would be wiped out, and Li Mo would likely be unable to escape the fate of being captured alive by the enemy.

However, just at this moment, Li Mo saw what seemed to be shooting stars streaking across the distant sky, beautiful and magnificent.

Li Mo thought it was his eyes playing tricks on him at the final moment, but then he looked again and realized it wasn't. That was clearly the Fourth Generation Red God star crystal cluster cannon, an Army Group weapon independently developed by their country that was not inferior to the Baiou Empire's!
