Chapter 274: Betraying Humanity, What Cri Should Be Punished?
The mouth of the great river was where the river t the ocean, and it was a territory constantly contested by humans and Mutant Beasts. The city of Haichen was located nearby.
The constant harassnt of the ocean Mutant Beasts had made life difficult for Haichen, and the sudden appearance of a large number of them had left them struggling to defend themselves.
"Controller, countless ocean Mutant Beasts are preparing to pass through the river mouth and enter the great river. Our weapons can no longer stop them," Deputy reported.
The Controller of Haichen looked worried. This operation was larger than the previous S-class scale and fortunately, these ocean Mutant Beasts were not attacking Haichen. Otherwise, the city would be dood.
He could only order his subordinates to do their best to stop them and notify the Emperor. This was a matter that only the Emperor could handle; he, as a Controller, was powerless.
Emperor Kong received the news and his expression imdiately turned sour. Their actions, as Emperors, were supposed to be very secretive, and only a few people knew about them.
They had thought that even if Mutant Beasts received the news, it would take so ti before they could take action. But they didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Was this a sudden decision?
There must have been a leak!
But both the Beast slave and Mutant Spy had been thoroughly cleaned up. Even if there were new Beast slaves and Spies, their positions should not be high. How could the news spread so quickly?
Eliminating all impossible guesses, there was only one possibility that Emperor Kong dared not think аbout: a traitor had appeared among the Emperors!
This possibility made Emperor Kong's face darken. If an Emperor betrayed them, it would be a huge blow to humanity.
"The ocean Mutant Beasts have already broken through the defense line of the great river and are advancing inland. Now, let's discuss how to deal with it," Emperor Kong said.
"What's there to discuss? Just beat them back!" Ax Emperor was the first to speak.
"But we only have four Emperors here. If we go there, what about the other eight-level Mutant Beasts attacking the four major defense lines?" Golden Emperor objected.
"What do you suggest then? Just watch and do nothing?" Ax Emperor glared at him. Golden Emperor had blocked him earlier, which had already made him very unhappy.
Emperor Kong waved his hand to stop their argunt. His expression was very serious. "This matter is very serious. It can be said to be the action of Mutant Beasts, or it can be said to be a test. They must have obtained so information and are testing our Emperors. If I guess correctly, if we have an Emperor appear at the great river, Mutant Beast Emperors will definitely appear at the four major defense lines."
As a Human Emperor, he knew this simple strategy.
"So, what should we do? We only have four Emperors here. If one goes, there will only be three left, which is not enough to protect the four major defense lines," Golden Emperor frowned.
"Since the Emperors can't move, we can only rely on the nearby Base City. By the way, I rember that Su Chen's base is near those Base Cities. In this situation, Commander Su Chen will not just sit back and watch, will he?" Ax Emperor hinted.
Emperor Kong had no choice. South Emperor was the strongest defender of humanity and he couldn't be easily deployed due to his limited lifespan. Therefore, as long as South Emperor acted, nobody dared to provoke him.
But it was different for the other three defense lines. They had to co out and even fight a big battle. Otherwise, the eight-level Mutant Beasts wouldn't retreat so easily.
"I will take action, but before that, I have sothing to say." Su Chen looked around and pointed at Ax Emperor, saying sothing that shocked everyone. "Ax Emperor leaked classified information and contacted the eight-level Mutant Beast Wind Tide, allowing the ocean Mutant Beasts to attack us. Betraying humanity, what cri should be punished?"
"Oh, and one more thing. I had ordered all Third Order and above Transcendents to go to the front line for training. However, so people from Ax Emperor's Base City and so families did not go. I won't say more about the details."
Emperor Kong suppressed his anger and stared at Ax Emperor. "Is what Su Chen said true?"
Ax Emperor was stunned. Cold sweat broke out on his back. Why did Su Chen know so much about him? So of these things only he knew.
"Emperor Kong, you suspect
based on your unfounded words? Am I not a Human Emperor? I don't care about my reputation? If this matter is not clarified today, I won't care about anything!" Ax Emperor was furious and didn't care about the presence of the other three Emperors. He couldn't say that he had betrayed humanity, which would be suicidal.
Emperor Kong hesitated for a mont. He realized that he had been biased towards Su Chen, which was unfair to Ax Emperor.
"Su Chen, can you provide any evidence?" Emperor Kong asked.
Su Chen smiled brightly, "I don't have any evidence."
Ax Emperor was overjoyed. He knew that he had been careful when contacting Wind Tide, how could he be caught?
"I knew it! You're framing , Su Chen! Do you know what cri it is to fra a Human Emperor?" Ax Emperor laughed loudly.
Emperor Kong suddenly felt that the situation was becoming complicated. Su Chen had done sothing wrong by baselessly accusing an Emperor. In human law, this was second only to betraying humanity.
But he knew what Su Chen ant to humanity, he was the hope of defeating the Mutant Beasts.
"Ax Emperor, Su Chen spoke without thinking earlier. Let's leave it at that," Emperor Kong tried to reconcile.
But Ax Emperor was not satisfied. He cursed, "I was beaten up by his subordinates before. Did you let it go? Now he's accusing , and you're just letting it go? Are you worthy of being Human Emperors?"
Emperor Kong felt embarrassed. Ax Emperor had done a good job of covering his tracks, and no one knew what he was doing in secret.
Golden Emperor stared at Ax Emperor closely. As soon as Commander gave the order, he would be the first to attack.
At this mont, South Emperor, who had been silent, spoke up, "Su Chen, can you spare his life for my sake? Let him defend the front line for the rest of his life and fight against the Mutant Beasts?"
Emperor Kong's face changed slightly. He could tell that South Emperor completely believed Su Chen's words and was even asking him to spare Ax Emperor's life.
Why did South Emperor trust Su Chen so much? Su Chen didn't have any guards with him now, so how could he deal with Ax Emperor?
Su Chen looked at South Emperor. This old man was not ordinary. Su Chen had felt it since the first ti they t.
The reason was simple: Golden Emperor was a fake spy, and his disguise was easily seen through by soone with a power level higher than that of a second-level spy. In other words, South Emperor had already seen through Golden Emperor's disguise and knew he wasn't the real Golden Emperor.
In this situation, South Emperor didn't reveal the identity of the second-level spy, which was a gesture of goodwill towards Su Chen. Perhaps when Golden Emperor saved him, South Emperor already knew who Golden Emperor was working for.
