Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 919: Chapter 495, Fight to the Death with No Blood Spared

“We’re meeting for the first time, aren’t we?”

As the two Battle Group Leaders walked forward to engage in a deadly duel, Erso seemed quite relaxed.

Matins, standing opposite him, did not appear so composed.

It was evident that he was trying hard to remain calm. But the fury in his eyes could not be concealed.

Hearing Erso’s greeting, Matins slowly pulled a cold smile at the corner of his mouth: “Not exactly, on Leviathan 9, I fired a bomb at you.”

“Hahaha!” Matins’ words seemed to amuse Erso, who, after a moment, reined in his smile and mocked, “I remember that battle, it was a great victory indeed. I personally slaughtered six Cercis Flowers and four Phoenixes. But I don’t recall your bomb, it seems to have been entirely ineffective.”

Matins vividly remembered that battle. His company and the Cercis Flower company were ordered to garrison on the planet named Leviathan 9 and were fiercely attacked by the Fury Flame Battle Group, suffering heavy losses. Many of his close warrior brothers died in that battle.

“I truly regret not having killed you that day.”

“Oh? Now you have your chance.” Erso was still laughing, not taking Matins seriously, “How about we two fight the opening round, and see if that bomb you fired a hundred years ago can hit me today.”

He was trying to provoke Matins into making an irrational choice. The Battle Group Leaders leading the duel would certainly push the duel to a climax immediately, but likewise, the risks would become enormous.

Erso had absolute confidence in victory; he wanted to slash Matins with his sword in this first battle, gaining the upper hand.

Matins was nearly about to agree.

But at the last moment, he exhaled deeply.

“Let’s compare our warriors first. Later you may become so desperate that you’ll want to join the fight yourself, and then I will take your life.”

“Heh,” Erso stared at Matins, “Then I’m afraid my warriors won’t give me that opportunity. They’ll quickly kill off your hundred green recruits. But even if that happens, I will mercifully grant you the 101st chance, as long as you dare to join the fight, I’ll play along.”

“Wait and see.”

…

Returning to his own formation, Matins still hadn’t calmed down.

He felt that he hadn’t performed well in the argument, indeed losing to Erso in terms of verbal sparring.

This made him very frustrated.

But the conversation was over, and he couldn’t possibly drag Erso back for another round.

He could only bottle up his frustration.

However, he quickly came around.

What was the point of tongue-lashing anyway?

In the end, everything still hinged on gunfire and blades.

He asked Rizzo, “Are our warriors ready?”

“They are always ready. The hundred men named by the Governor are all eager for battle.”

Matins was somewhat moved as he said, “How did the Governor know that these hundred men are our best warriors? Moreover, after some training following the announcement, their already powerful capabilities have further improved!”

Rizzo revealed a mysterious smile: “Perhaps this is the Governor’s blessing.”

Matins paused, without replying.

He always felt that old Rizzo was becoming more and more cryptic.

Ignoring him, Matins turned his gaze to another person standing beside him:

“Brother Kalduce, according to the plan, you’ll be the first one to fight, any problem with that?”

Kalduce was the Company Commander of Phoenix First Company and one of the survivors of the hundred-year-long expedition who first came to Rage Owl Star with Matins. He was almost the strongest in Phoenix, second only to Matins.

It was most appropriate for him to fight this battle.

“No problem.” Kalduce replied absentmindedly, his gaze fixed on someone in the midst of the Fury Flame Battle Group’s ranks.

“Are you looking at Cao Boyang?”

“Hmm.” Kalduce came back to his senses and nodded, “I heard he’s now a Company Commander of the Furyflame. I wonder if we’ll have a chance to meet later.”

Matins knew why Kalduce wanted to meet this guy named Cao Boyang.

Just as he loathed Erso, Kalduce also had close brothers who died at the hands of Cao Boyang.

These four centenarians who had survived a hundred years, who among them didn’t hold a deep-seated grudge against Furyflame?

Matins thought for a moment and said, “You can call him out; maybe he will come down.”

“Good idea.”

Kalduce took off his helmet, which he was just about to put on, and tucked it under his arm.

He stepped out of the formation and shouted towards the opposite side:

“Cao Boyang! Come out and face your death!”

…

“Old Cao, he’s calling you out.”

“Let other brothers wait a bit, I’ll go first. It won’t take long; I can slaughter him in a few minutes.” Wrapped in the heavy Terminator Power Armor, Cao Boyang nonchalantly twisted his neck, “A hundred years ago, that guy slipped away, and a hundred years later, he still has to die by my hand.”

With that, he too stepped into the arena.

The gap in equipment between the two was significant.

Cao Boyang was fully armed, in addition to his ‘Indomitable’ Terminator Power Armor, he had two rocket launchers perched on his shoulders; under his left arm hung a Heavy Bomb Machine Gun. If this had been a war, his weapon of choice would usually be a Thunder God Hammer. But today, seeing Kalduce on the opposite side, he put down the Thunder God Hammer and took up a Powered Sword.
