Chapter 225: Martyrdom

Ali rushed into the command room of the experimental base.

He picked up the dedicated military phone to contact Leiza.

After a few beeps, the call connected.

"Hello, what's wrong?"

After the call connected, Leiza's weary voice came through.

It was intermittently mixed with the sound of bomb explosions.

"This is Ali."

"Leiza, how's your situation now?"

Ali said quickly.

On the other end, Leiza rubbed his head.

"The situation is grim; we've been forced back to the border of Yila, and if we retreat further there's nowhere left to go."

"Juda's troops are on all sides; they've surrounded us."

"We're preparing to fight to the death!"

Hearing that, Ali wasn't surprised; after all, he had anticipated this situation.

"Leiza, listen to me."

"Do you have the resolve to sacrifice yourself for God?"

Leiza was stunned at those words.

"What situation?"

"Is this a pre-battle pep talk for me?"

"But as a general of the Holy Teaching Army, this religious military force..."

Leiza is naturally extremely devout.

He immediately said, "I do!"

"If President Ali has any orders, just tell me straight!"

Hearing Leiza's firm stance,

Ali finally smiled.

"Good, good, good."

"It seems I didn't misplace my trust in you."

"Now, all of Bosi has no hope left."

"Most domestic cities, even the capital, have fallen."

"Even I can only hide in the nuclear test base."

"Just barely clinging to life."

"What?" Leiza was utterly shocked by the news.

"Isn't the National Defense Army still being blockaded?"

"How could they possibly have the strength to launch a nationwide rebellion?"

"National Defense Army?" Ali gave a wry smile. "It's not the National Defense Army; it's the Eagle Country's Central Intelligence Agency."

"We've been guarding against the National Defense Army, but we forgot our biggest adversary, Eagle Country."

"Sigh!"

"Forget that; now I need you to go to Yila and lure all of Juda's troops to Eagle Country's military base."

"The coastal military base!"

"The nuclear bomb has been manufactured?"

Upon hearing the plan, Leiza understood why Ali wanted him to draw Juda's forces there.

"That's right."

"It's already been made."

"But there's only one."

"All of Bosi has only one chance to strike."

"I understand."

"This is a holy war."

Leiza said this, having already foreseen his own fate.

"Can my soldiers still go to heaven?"

Ali faced Leiza's final question.

A bitter taste rose in his mouth.

"Yes!"

"Good!"

"Once we reach the designated position,"

"we will send you a signal."

After saying that, Leiza hung up the phone.

Afterwards, he exhaled a foul breath.

He let out a laugh.

This was the first time he had smiled since Juda's regular forces attacked Bosi.

"Damn Juda and Eagle Country bastards; even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Leiza turned and left.

Afterwards, he notified all the senior officers to come for a meeting.

In a dark underground trench.

Ali sat inside, and from time to time explosion sounds could be heard from above.

He shook the dust from the trench onto a crude table.

"You all came?"

Ali saw a few people come in.

One had a broken arm, another had his head still wrapped in bandages.

The rest also had various other injuries.

In the whole room, over ten people, only three or four were completely unharmed.

"Have a seat."

Leiza ordered.

The soldiers looked around; there wasn't a single chair, only some stones of various sizes.

Then they looked under Leiza's butt.

It was also a stone.

They instantly had no resentment.

They immediately sat on the stones.

"We've been chased by the Juda army for so long."

"Now, the hope of victory is extremely slim."

"I can even say that this battle, for us Bosi, is basically lost."

Seeing them all seated, Leiza directly said.

After all, this is also common knowledge.

In the army, what's most feared is not temporary defeat.

But rather never seeing hope.

The Defenders of the Faith Army is now in this situation.

Having been chased for so long.

The psychological state inside the Defenders of the Faith Army is not good.

Often someone's psyche collapses, they rush out of the trench and charge toward Juda's position.

Then they are blown to ashes by Juda army's cannon fodder.

"I'll just say it straight."

"Next we need to enter Yila's territory."

"Lure the Juda army to the Eagle Country military base."

"Moreover, speed must be fast."

"You can raise any ideas you have now."

As soon as Leiza finished speaking.

The senior officers below were all bewildered.

"Why do we have to go to the Eagle Country military base in Yila, General Leiza?"

Someone below immediately asked.

"Because we want to all become martyrs."

Leiza immediately said.

"Our country has now developed a nuclear bomb."

"But since there's only one, it can't make any change."

"It can only be used for a final retaliation."

"It is to let the Eagle Country military base, the Juda army, and including all our Defenders of the Faith Army soldiers, together vanish in the mushroom cloud of the nuclear bomb explosion."

Leiza's words finished.

The senior officers below immediately fell silent.

"There's no turning point; this is now the only choice."

Seeing the silence below.

Leiza spoke up to add.

"Will we return to heaven?"

"Will our soldiers return to heaven?"

Someone below asked.

"Yes."

"President Ali told me personally."

Leiza said.

Upon hearing that answer.

The senior officers below immediately lost their previous silence.

"Hahaha!"

"Not bad; at least it makes the Juda army that chased us for so long pay a price."

"It's not in vain to have spent so many days crouched in this lousy trench, being chased like fools."

Someone below laughed.

At this moment, the others also started laughing wildly.

If there are many roads laid out before one, one is likely to feel lost, to feel anxious.

But if there is only one road, then there's nothing to say.

Just go forward and it's right.

Moreover, the warriors of this Protect-the-Teaching Army are also holding a belly full of fire.

As for death.

When these people joined the Protect-the-Teaching Army.

They had already cast life and death behind their backs.

Moreover, they could even die together with this group of Eagle Country beasts and Juda's beasts.

That would be a double blessing.

Leiza saw that the senior officers below thought that way.

He also showed a smile.

"Then good, go back now and tell the soldiers below."

"At noon today, 12 o'clock."

"We."

"Depart!"

"Target! Yila's Eagle Country Military Base!"
