Rulu said: "Because although this Su Wen is despicable, he still has some value to us. He said he would do everything to prevent the Sanctuary from going after me and you rebels. I thought we could use him to constrain the Sanctuary, so I spared his life."

  General Li said: "If he keeps his word, that would certainly be advantageous for us. But we can't rule out the possibility that he's lying just to save himself."

  Rulu said: "That's not an issue. Even if his words were insincere, he'll at least be more restrained in the future. Plus, I've already crippled his legs as punishment. I believe he won't dare to be as arrogant as before, at least not in the short term. Besides, if we killed him, the Sanctuary would send an even more formidable governor, and our troubles would be greater."

  General Li said: "I understand the situation now. Since it was you, Rulu, who captured him, you had the right to decide how to deal with him. Moreover, your approach might actually be helpful for my future plans."

  Rulu said: "Is that why you called me here, General Li? May I ask what your plan is?"

  General Li said: "Before discussing my plan, I'd like to ask you, young Rulu, how much do you know about our Dragon Group?"

  Rulu said: "Your Dragon Group is the largest rebel organization in Huaxia Nation, with influence throughout the entire country. As for other details, I'm not very clear."

  General Li said: "Actually, the predecessor of our Dragon Group was Huaxia Nation's military technology research institution. After Huaxia Nation was defeated by the Sanctuary, this institution was forcibly disbanded. Although the institution was gone, most of the researchers remained. To resist the Sanctuary, our researchers secretly united and established a new organization. This is the origin of our Dragon Group."

  Rulu nodded and said: "I see. No wonder your Dragon Group could become Huaxia Nation's largest rebel organization. There's such a historical background."

  General Li continued: "Although our Dragon Group has always been dedicated to opposing the Sanctuary, as you know, Rulu, the Sanctuary has a large number of Ultra-capable individuals working for them, and we ordinary people are no match for the Ultra-capable. Therefore, no matter how hard we try, we cannot defeat the Sanctuary."

  Rulu said: "Indeed, one excellent Ultra-capable can deal with hundreds or thousands of ordinary people. Add to that the Sanctuary's humanoid armored troops, and ordinary armies have no chance against armies composed of Ultra-capable individuals, even if they outnumber them a hundredfold or thousandfold."

  General Li said: "That was the case before, but the situation is different now. Through years of intensive research, our Dragon Group has gradually mastered the method of artificially cultivating Ultra-capable individuals. Although artificially cultivated Ultra-capable have many defects, and their Psionic power levels are very low, the advantage is that they can be mass-produced, allowing us to greatly expand our army and enhance our combat power. Now, our Dragon Group already has a considerable number of Ultra-capable and armored troops, so I feel the time is almost right."

  Hearing this, Rulu was taken aback and then said: "Are you suggesting that your Dragon Group plans to launch a full-scale war against the Sanctuary?"

  General Li chuckled and said: "Young Rulu, you're indeed smart. I wonder how you view this matter. Do you think our Dragon Group has a chance of winning?"

  Rulu said: "Forgive my directness, but although your Dragon Group is powerful, engaging in a full-scale war with the Sanctuary is still too ambitious. If the operation fails, the consequences would be unbearable for you."

  General Li said: "Actually, many within our Dragon Group share these concerns, which is why we've delayed taking action. But no matter what, we must eventually take this step. One of my purposes in coming to Blue Sea City this time was to test the Sanctuary's strength and then decide on our next move."

  Rulu said: "So what conclusion have you reached, General Li?"

  General Li sighed, his expression troubled, and said: "In our recent battle with the Sanctuary in Blue Sea City, I felt that there's still a significant gap between our Dragon Group and the Sanctuary. So now is not the time for us to go to war with the Sanctuary. We need to continue developing our strength and wait for the right opportunity."

  Rulu nodded and said: "That's indeed the best approach for you at present."
