125: Chapter 125 The Demise of the Lizardman Civilization

Hearing Red Queen's voice, Su Fan immediately realized that this must be a communication request from the Lizardmen.

Most likely a surrender!

"Connect it. Don't forget to turn on the simultaneous interpretation, otherwise, I won't understand the Lizardman language," Su Fan instructed with a smile.

"Yes! Master!"

"Authorizing their access..."

"Access complete. Please look at the big screen, Master!"

On the big screen, three Lizardmen wearing crowns stood side by side; the crown of the one in the middle was slightly larger.

"So ugly!" Su Fan complained internally.

"Greetings, Lord from a higher civilization! I am Lixilari, King of the Xikemo United Kingdom. It is a great honor to communicate with you."

Lixilari stood in the middle. Despite the immense anger in her heart, she still spoke in a humble and as pleasing a tone as possible.

"Respected Lord, I am Colaine, King of the Xike Kingdom. It is a great honor to communicate with you." Colaine's expression was somewhat stiff, but his tone was also very pleasing.

"Great Lord of a higher civilization, I am Mode Ganqing, King of the Ximo Kingdom. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to communicate. May the Lizard God bless you!" Mode Ganqing's tone was even more fawning.

"What do you want with me?" Su Fan's reply was simple and direct.

"We surrender. We are willing to cede territory and pay reparations. From now on, we are willing to become a vassal civilization of your esteemed civilization." Lixilari's lizard scales rippled continuously; this was a normal physiological response for Lizardmen when feeling humiliated and indignant.

Su Fan glanced at the Great Elder, seeing him shrug and pucker his lips. He immediately understood that the Great Elder was letting him make the decision.

"What a joke. If I kill you all, the resources of this star system will be mine. Why would I need you to cede territory or pay reparations?" Su Fan sneered.

"We beg you, we are tens of billions of lives!"

"Do you have the heart to kill us all like this?" Lixilari pleaded, her eyes already starting to tear up.

"As long as you spare us, ten billion Lizardmen will be at your beck and call, as long as you leave us alive!"

Seeing Lixilari's pleading eyes—although they were not the same species and, by human aesthetic standards, these Lizardmen were very ugly...

However, the eyes are the windows to the soul. Anyone would be moved by such a pitiful and pleading gaze.

"Su Fan!" the Great Elder spoke up.

"You must consider this matter carefully. Do not forget what you said when mobilizing the soldiers!"

"Wildfire cannot burn it all away; the spring breeze brings life back again," Su Fan murmured.

"A compassionate person should not lead an army!" the Great Elder added, then fell silent.

Su Fan nodded heavily, his eyes clear.

Behind him were over two billion Xia Country people. How could he abandon the original plan because of the pleas of an alien race? Absolutely not!

In the universe, there is no such thing as mercy!

He absolutely could not leave a time bomb for Xia Country because of his own mercy!

Never!

"I'm sorry, I refuse your surrender!" Su Fan said coldly.

"To show humanitarian concern for you, I have decided to give you a quick end."

"In one hour, the Lizardman Civilization will perish swiftly."

After saying that, Su Fan ignored the desperate looks of the three Lizardman kings and resolutely had Red Queen cut off the communication.

"Red Queen, pass on my order: in half an hour, all ships and mechas are to retreat to the tianyuan. The soldiers have half an hour to kill; everyone must personally kill at least one Lizardman, or they will face military law!" Su Fan issued the cold command.

"Yes! Master!"

The order quickly reached the ears of all soldiers. Without any hesitation, they immediately put on their E-class exoskeletons, jumped off the ships, and followed the mechas into the Dungeon.

The slaughter began!

War between civilizations is just that cruel!

Inside the ship, Su Fan closed his eyes and lay back in his seat.

Seeing this, the Great Elder sighed and stepped forward to pat Su Fan on the shoulder.

"It doesn't feel good, does it?" the Great Elder said gently.

Su Fan didn't speak; he just took a deep breath and then let out a heavy exhale.

"It's always like this at the beginning. In the past, Xia Country had local conflicts with many nations on Blue Star. I made many cruel decisions back then too."

"I even had to make some cold-hearted decisions for the sake of Xia Country's interests." The Great Elder sighed, his thoughts drifting as if returning to those times.

"As leaders of Xia Country, we must put the overall interests of the Xia people first. We must never show womanly mercy to the enemy!"

"Mhm—" Su Fan hummed softly with his eyes closed.

"Red Queen, wake me in an hour. I'm going to rest for a bit."

Seeing this, the Great Elder stopped talking and sat quietly beside Su Fan, watching the live battlefield footage on the big screen. His eyes narrowed slightly as he picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

...

Half an hour later, all ships, mechas, and soldiers returned to the Tianyuan Mothership.

An hour later, Su Fan was woken up by Red Queen.

Su Fan opened his eyes. At this moment, his gaze was no longer confused; his eyes were firm and sharp!

"Red Queen, activate the Tianyuan Mothership-class main cannon!"

"Aim at Proxima Centauri b!"

"Charge to maximum power!"

Su Fan looked at Proxima Centauri b outside the ship through the panoramic simulation and shook his head with some regret.

Proxima Centauri b was almost useless to Xia Country, except for its mineral resources.

The reason he said "almost" was that Proxima Centauri b still had many organisms not found on Blue Star. If these organisms were transported back to Blue Star or Mars, they would greatly enrich their biodiversity.

However, the prerequisite was that these organisms could adapt to the environments of Blue Star and Mars.

One must know that the air, soil, and water of Proxima Centauri b were completely different from those of Blue Star and Mars.

Therefore, Su Fan had only arranged for some soldiers to collect biological samples in advance, which might be useful for biological experiments in the future.

He had asked the System if these organisms from Proxima Centauri b had any value, and the System's answer was: ordinary life forms evolved from common planets, though diverse, do not have much value.

"Master, charging complete!" Red Queen's voice rang out.

"Prepare!"

Su Fan glanced at the Great Elder, then looked firmly at Proxima Centauri b floating in space.

"Countdown!"

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

"7!"

"6!"

Proxima Centauri b was an earthy yellow planet; there were no rivers or lakes on its surface.

Yet, such a barren planet had nurtured a brilliant civilization underground—the Lizardman Civilization.

Su Fan's eyes were sharp, his voice firm as the countdown continued.

"5!"

"4!"

In the Dungeon, the kingdom of the Lizardmen, Lixilari looked at the big screen in despair.

On the screen, a massive spaceship spanned the planet's space. In its despairingly thick muzzle, heart-palpitating energy was brewing and gathering, the light within growing brighter and brighter.

Countless ordinary Lizardmen turned on their communication monitors and watched the energy-gathering muzzle, their reactions varying.

Some were shouting, some were wailing in grief, some were committing suicide by slitting their throats, and some were frantically smashing things and robbing in the streets.

But even more Lizardmen stood calmly, embracing their loved ones. They greedily grasped these final moments, wanting to use this short time to accompany those they had once ignored but now cherished, yet for whom they no longer had time!

Su Fan's voice, like a curse from the God of Death, continued to echo in the captain's quarters.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Red Queen! Fire!"

Boom—

...
