Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

The bodies littering the ground were minced into chunks of flesh, and the stench of blood permeated the air, almost congealing into a fog.

Especially in the enclosed, unventilated environment, even these battle-hardened soldiers couldn't help feeling nauseous when they smelled the thick scent in the air.

Not knowing whether it was blood or dew, as they stepped on the somewhat slippery ground and followed the markings left by Bai E, all the members of the special squad, including You, couldn't help but widen their eyes at the sight of the flesh piled up into a mountain before them.

The countless chunks of meat, already neatly sliced, appeared like an actual mountain of flesh, filling up the massive underground cavern.

The smell of fresh blood from the flesh chunks that seemed to have been cut not long ago struck the special squad members with a sensory overload, making them feel dizzy.

"So... so much meat."

"Where did these warlords in the wilderness get so many beasts from?"

Members of the special squad stopped before the mountain of flesh, looking up at the chunks piled all the way to the ceiling of the cavern; in the dim environment, it was almost impossible to see the top, "Where could they have gotten so many beasts to hunt?"

One of the soldiers touched the flesh and tasted it with his tongue, "Moreover, it all looks fresh, as if it was hunted in the past few days."

You approached Bai E and asked in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, "We've just encountered a large squadron in retreat, heading to the northwest. Should we pursue?"

"No need," Bai E replied coldly with a wave of his hand. "I called you here to watch over these things. This is our real objective. If they abandon this place, then so be it, let these be the price of their attacking us. If they dare to come back..."

The chilling murderous intent in his tone made the members of the other three special squads shiver involuntarily.

Was the only cost the spoils from these beasts... What about the dismembered limbs and chunks of flesh seen along the way, what were they?

Wasn't it said that Bai, an artificial human born into the rank of general, was full of love for his fellow humans, tenderhearted and soft-handed?

Right now... it didn't quite match the rumors, did it?

Bai E waved his hand to continue giving orders, "This underground cave is large, with passages leading in all directions. Leave three squads to explore all the secret tunnels to prevent the wild warlords from coming back. The other squad is to return to the city and inform the army—order the entire army to march here and transport the resources!"

All the soldiers responded in unison, "Yes, Commander!"

As everyone dispersed, Bai E stood in the gloom, his expressionless gaze fixated on the mountain of flesh before him.

The reason he had everyone in Li Ming Town find a sufficiently spacious underground cavern formation was to store the biomass resources he had obtained from the Kennado Behemoth.

And to give this process a veneer of explanation, Bai E had also instructed them to create traces of human life and rebellion there beforehand.

As for whether it was plausible for so many biomass resources to appear... who was bold enough to ask those "warlords" about it?

A rough explanation would suffice; with tangible resources right before their eyes, who would care how they came to be?

...

The officer who received the message slammed his fist onto the table and glared at the returning messenger, demanding, "What did you say?"

"I said..." The soldier swallowed, apparently still reeling from the impact of the reality, "General Bai E led us through the stronghold of a warlord, and from that warlord's base, we found an uncountable amount of flesh biomass! Now... now we have been ordered to notify the entire camp to march out, to escort the biomass resources back to the city! This is the commander's direct order."

"..." A group of hurriedly assembled officers exchanged silent looks and opinions, "Information department indeed received a simple message from General Bai E early this morning... but... but..."

But nobody expected that the news brought back would be so explosive!

"What should we do?" Panic crossed the face of a general who had never liked Bai E's position as an admiral, "How could this guy's luck be so good!"

"What kind of warlord could accumulate so much biomass? It's one thing to accumulate it, but how could he have been defeated single-handedly?!"

"..."

The officer next to him looked at the speaking general with a look of disbelief.

The formidable Bug Race had been rout after rout by the War God – how many times now? In the eyes of that War God, what was a mere wild warlord?

It would be strange not to have won a complete victory...

Hamilton, sitting at another corner of the long table, watched the generals and just scoffed with his arms crossed, "Well? Are you ready to acknowledge who the real leader of the military region is now?"

There were still some dissenting officers who stubbornly retorted, "The resources haven't been transported back yet. Whether it's enough for ten thousand people's production is still not certain, why the rush?"

"That's right! Besides, no one can guarantee whether an artificial human like him has any character flaws. It hasn't been that long; have we forgotten the incident when Admiral Bai E once 'defected'?"

Carlos set down the notebook that had recorded the messenger's verbal report onto the polished long table with a motionless face, "Repeat to yourself what Admiral Bai E has done this time."
