"What are you talking about? Act of treason to this country?" Tang Shaoyang looked at Yan Kui and asked "Which country?"
"Ah, maybe I should correct you first. Our country has fallen, so you are no longer a military force of any country. You are the ex-soldiers of the fallen county."
"Want proof? The proof is easy, where is our government now? It's been almost five months since the disaster, where are they?" Tang Shaoyang raised his right brow as he questioned Yan Kui, "So which country are you talking about?"
Yan Kui opened his mouth, but there were no words that came out. He could not refute the opposite party's statement.
If this was just the first or maybe the second month, it was understandable. But for almost five months, there was no news from the central government or any military force that came to rescue them from the Military Main Base.
"That's why we have to unite and rebuild our country again," after some time, Yan Kui managed to utter those words out.
"I am building my new country, but I will not unite with you and your military force, let alone hand over my base," Tang Shaoyang firmly responded, "Of course, if you want to join the empire, we will receive you and your people with my hand open."
Yan Kui looked Tang Shaoyang into the eyes. He then realized the man was not joking with his words.
"Are you going to oppose the military force then?" He asked Tang Shaoyang in a grim tone.
The grin turned into laughter as soon as Tang Shaoyang heard the question from Yan Kui.
"Opposing the military force? Are you kidding me? What do we do to oppose the military force? For not handing over the base to your lap?"
"Yes!" Yan Kui shamelessly admitted outright that not handing the base over was opposing him and the force behind him, "We will purge the traitors of the country!"
"Yes, that's him, he killed our people, hand him over!" The man from the Flame Castle immediately demanded.
"You keep asking things, requesting things? What can you give to us to hand him over to you?" Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes.
"Do you dare to refuse the military force's request?" The man raised his voice while pointing his finger at Tang Shaoyang.
"I dare, but again, which country's military force are you from?" Tang Shaoyang grinned at the man.
"Also, I heard a different story from him, the guy you deem criminal," He looked toward Yan Kui with a smile, "He bought an abandoned building with his Game Coins within the establishment, but your people keep asking for more."
"Nonsense, do you think we, the military force will deceive the civilians? Our duty is to protect them from harm, not the opposite!" The man strongly denied it.
"You did, Yu Shun is the living proof of your misconduct," Tang Shaoyang smirked, "Not only asking for more Game Coins but you guys also tried to take his girlfriend from him."
Yan Kui furrowed his brow, he never heard the hidden story behind Yu Shun's case. What he heard from the Flame Castle was that Yu Shun killed their people when they asked for the remaining payment of the building.
"This is not true! He was lying to you!" The man raised his voice even more.
Tang Shaoyang grinned at Yan Kui, he totally ignored the man, "Regardless, whether he is a criminal or not, I will not hand over my people just because you ask to. I have to refuse Major General Shi Yan's two requests!"
"So you are going to oppose us till the end?" Even though Yan Kui knew that what Tang Shaoyang said was most likely true, he still had to stand on his people. He could not admit his defeat or they would be looked down on.
"Opposing you to the end? I never opposed you. You come to me, asking me to hand my people over for the crime he never committed. Again, I will never hand over my men to you just because you ask me to!" Tang Shaoyang shook his head.
"The fact that I have overlooked your subordinates' rudeness is me being kind."
Yan Kui scanned the people in the room, he was memorizing the people in this room. After a moment, he stood up, "Then there's no point to continue the talk. We will leave now!"
