Chapter 1120: Familiar Taste! Colonel Cao Yuande of Haicheng City!

"General Su, what are you doing here?"

Colonel Liu Yun asked.

Indeed, the officer leading a group of Haicheng City Garrison troops was Su Yang's old acquaintance, Colonel Liu Yun of the Southeast Military Command.

It was not strange for Liu Yun to have this question.

The members of the Tianxing Society who had died, and those about to die, had the same question.

"What do you mean, 'how am I here'? Wherever I go, I go there," Su Yang laughed. "Are you not glad to see me, Colonel Liu?"

"How could that be? I misspoke!" Liu Yun hastily corrected himself. "General Su, weren't you in Heihu City? The battle there…"

"It's over!"

"Over?"

"Yes!" Su Yang smiled. "Rest assured, the war is over. The Beast Emperor, Hurricane Roar Tiger, has been slain. The Beast Emperor's legion has been crushed. The southeastern region is now safe!"

"Really?"

Liu Yun, like an ordinary soldier, could not believe it.

This completely defied their understanding!

"Of course it's true!" Su Yang explained briefly. "Wait a few days—the news will arrive. Rest easy. The full details will be in the battle report."

Su Yang did not wish to elaborate further.

First, his time was limited, and he had no patience for lengthy explanations.

Second, explaining would inevitably sound like self-praise!

It was well known that Su Yang was a humble, courteous young man.

To boast about oneself was far too awkward.

Learning of the "sudden" victory at the front, Liu Yun felt the heavy stone in his chest lift.

He understood Su Yang's implication, so he suppressed his curiosity about what had truly happened at the front and changed the subject:

"Then why did General Su kill them?"

"It's like this…"

Su Yang explained to Liu Yun.

He had to explain this matter.

He couldn't just say to Liu Yun, "I, Su Yang, don't need to explain myself to you."

At the very least, people must show mutual respect.

Acting too arrogantly, with no restraint, was merely a sign of excessive self-indulgence and poor self-control!

Moreover, he needed the cooperation of the Haicheng City Garrison.

"The Tianxing Society?"

Liu Yun exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right!" Su Yang nodded.

Su Yang also showed Liu Yun the authorization order from General Qian. Liu Yun glanced at it once.

In Liu Yun's view, if the man truly belonged to the Tianxing Society, the authorization order made no difference.

"Do you have proof?"

Even the military required evidence before acting.

Killing without evidence would still invite punishment.

But the military had greater authority—they could kill first and supply evidence later.

"I do!" Su Yang pointed to the artificial lake. "There should be over a thousand ordinary corpses of Tianxing Society members in the lake. Also, in Lin Tianhong's bedroom, there is a secret room with ample evidence proving his identity."
