181: Chapter 181 Killing Mars

"What's wrong? Only a short while has passed, and you've already forgotten how he chased you all over the city like a cat playing with a mouse? He severely injured you and stepped on you like a cockroach, yet here you are feeling regretful. You really do appreciate talent!" Tang Xiaowei stared straight at Wei He, her tone full of mockery.

"That only proves he is strong enough. Since he cannot be used by me, his talent is no longer talent; it's better to just eliminate him!" Hearing Tang Xiaowei's words, Wei He spoke coldly with a hint of a cruel smile on his face.

Outside Black Fortress, Marcus stood up again and charged at Mars. The two Rhinoceros Beastmen scuffled together.

"Oh, why are the two brothers fighting? It's quite intense, ah, ha ha ha ha!" The Tiger-head General sat on the city tower again, holding a wine bowl in one hand, watching with great interest as the two Rhinoceros Beastmen fought outside the city.

"General, if those two brothers keep fighting like this, will they collapse our city tower?" A Tiger-headed Orc soldier nearby said with a worried look.

"Nonsense, of course they will! That Mars is here specifically to tear down our city tower, can't you see? Luckily, the two of them started fighting; otherwise, our city tower would have been gone long ago!" The Tiger-head General frowned and said to the Tiger-headed Orc soldier through gritted teeth.

Meanwhile, Mars's troops below the city tower watched in confusion as their two generals fought, not knowing what had happened for a moment.

"Why are the two generals fighting? Should we go up and help?" a Leopard-headed soldier asked in confusion.

"I don't know. Who would we help? Aren't we here to protect Emperor Vesemir? Wouldn't that make General Marcus a traitor?" another Tiger-headed Orc soldier said anxiously, clutching the spear in his hand.

"What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense! What traitor? I think it's just a conflict between the two brothers!" A Wolf-Headed Beastman immediately shouted sternly at the Tiger-headed Orc next to him.

...

Amidst the soldiers' discussions, Marcus was once again knocked down by Mars. Mars wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pointed at Marcus on the ground, and said to his troops, "Tie him up and take him back to the military camp to be imprisoned. No one is allowed to release him without my order!"

"Yes, General!" A group of soldiers began to rush toward Marcus, who was lying on the ground, attempting to use ropes to bind him.

At that moment, several large men wearing protective suits and carrying cannons on their shoulders emerged from the jungle behind Marcus. They were completely encased in protective suits, and the muzzles of the cannons on their shoulders glowed with a green light, looking extremely dangerous.

"By order of the Commander, Mars is to be killed without mercy!" one of the large men shouted at Mars.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Mars and his subordinates burst into laughter upon hearing this. One must know that with Mars's ability, even if the Demon Race came, they wouldn't dare boast about being able to eliminate General Mars, let alone these oddly dressed little soldiers in front of them.

"Just you, thinking you can eliminate me? Truly overestimating yourselves. Which Commander sent you? Speak up, and perhaps I can spare your lives!" Mars said with a face full of disdain, staring at these people on the ground who weren't even as tall as the top of his foot.

"Of course it was Commander Wei He! Big brother, the future world will definitely belong to Commander Wei He. You should join us sooner; let's build a career together under Lord Wei He!" Before the Radiation Engineer could speak, Marcus, lying on the ground, was the first to shout.

"Shut up, Marcus, you traitor! I really didn't expect that you would actually betray the Magical Beast Empire and take refuge under Wei He, the envoy of the Magic Empire. I really misjudged you!" Mars's words instantly made his beast soldiers understand what was happening. It turned out the Magic Empire's sneak attack on Emperor Vesemir was true, and General Marcus had indeed committed treason.

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!" The beast soldiers were filled with indignation, raising their weapons one after another and shouting at Marcus.

Just as Mars was considering what to do to save Marcus, a green ray hit Mars's foot. Mars let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground. The earth trembled, and even the wine pot on the city tower was shaken off, smashing into pieces.

"Ah, my wine pot! What on earth is Mars doing?" The Tiger-head General walked out from the city tower and stood on the city wall, leaning over to look down. He saw Mars lying on the ground, howling in pain, clutching his leg with both hands. Only half of that leg remained; the original position of the foot and lower leg was gone, leaving only a pool of green liquid on the ground.

"What's going on? Where is General Mars's leg?" The Tiger-head General's eyes widened in surprise, unable to believe the scene before him as he voiced his question.

"General, it's those strange guys who came out of the jungle. They did it!" the attendant next to the Tiger-head General said, pointing at the several Radiation Engineers who had just appeared.

"How is that possible? General Mars is a Rank Seven Magic Beast. How could he be defeated just like that by those unremarkable-looking fellows? Where on earth did they come from?" the Tiger-head General said, looking at the Radiation Engineers in disbelief.

"General, they seemed to say just now that they are the subordinates of some Lord from the Magic Empire!" the soldier next to the Tiger-head General said cautiously.

"It seems we won't be able to hold this city gate today. Let's leave it to fate. I never thought that one day, guarding the capital would be such a dangerous job!" The Tiger-head General sighed helplessly, gripping his saber tightly as if ready to fight for the Magical Beast Empire at any moment.

"Big brother, hurry up and say it! Otherwise, they really will kill you!" Marcus shouted from the ground, looking at Mars, who was also lying on the ground wailing.

"You want me to surrender and betray the Magical Beast Empire? Not a chance! Hmph! At most, it's just death!" Mars snorted coldly, gritting his teeth tightly. His eyes gradually became bloodshot and swollen, and tears fell from his eyes. His leg had been turned into green liquid by the radiation ray; the immense pain was something even he could hardly bear.

"Yes, the Commander has ordered: kill without mercy!" The Radiation Engineer repeated the command once more. Then, three or four Radiation Engineers fired radiation rays together. Mars, lying on the ground, had no time to dodge. His head, hands, and feet were all hit by the radiation rays, turning into green liquid in an instant.

"Seize those strange fellows! They killed General Mars; we can't let them get away!" A Wolf-Headed Beastman in the crowd was the first to recover from the shock, pointing at the Radiation Engineers and shouting.

"Right! Avenge General Mars! Catch them, don't let them escape!" Everyone responded, raising their weapons and shouting as they ran toward the Radiation Engineers.

Under Wei He's command, the Radiation Engineers began to run toward the depths of the jungle. The 20,000 vanguard troops Mars had brought, originally intended for a siege, were now all charging toward the Radiation Engineers.

Given the speed of the Radiation Engineers, they actually wouldn't have been able to escape the pursuit of 20,000 people. However, with Huang Yichen's cooperation, the four Radiation Engineers who had first attacked Mars had already hidden underground.
