After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

"If we stop now, and wait for the World Government to regain its strength, repair a lot of fortifications, and mobilize troops to expand in scale, how many more people will die when we fight again?"

"Continuing the war will result in deaths, that’s true, but ending the war as soon as possible to minimize casualties, what’s wrong with that?"

Shangguan Li: "Since we want to end it quickly, why can’t we just end it now?"

Fenrir: "Then tell me, how do we end it now."

Shangguan Li: "Sit down and negotiate with the World Government and reach a ceasefire agreement beneficial to both sides, stabilize the situation first."

It’s obvious that disdain was visible in the eyes of Wolf Raid’s core members, clearly, this approach seemed extremely weak to them.

Hibell also said disdainfully: "Do you think this is realistic? Do you think the World Government will allow its legitimacy to be challenged, forming a situation of dividing Eastern and Western powers with us?"

Shangguan Li: "As I see it, it’s not impossible because we are the victors now, having just won a battle, so we have more bargaining chips at the negotiation table."

Hibell: "Then let me clearly tell you, your idea is wrong. I understand these parasites far better than you do, large corporations would rather have the World Government overturn the whole chessboard and crush it, throwing everyone into the meat grinder of war, rather than compromise on such a thing."

Shangguan Li: "Why aren’t we willing to try? Why did we start this war? Isn’t it to stop incessant deaths like before, so why can’t we try this direction first?"

The two were in a heated argument, unable to persuade one another.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Fenrir, who had not expressed an opinion, spoke up: "Director Su, I’d like to hear your opinion."

On Wolf Raid’s side, the leader was Fenrir.

And on New Moon City’s side, the leader undoubtedly was Su Mo.

Individuals like Hibell and Shangguan Li can express their opinions freely; after all, everyone is a comrade, and they can speak their mind.

But ultimately, the decisions have to be made by the two leaders.

Fenrir directly asked Su Mo, and the others then fell silent and turned their attention to him.

Su Mo looked at the screen in silence for a while, and the follow-up response was somewhat surprising: "I disagree with both choices."

"Reason?" Fenrir succinctly asked.

Su Mo: "Because both choices come with significant costs."

"If we choose to pause the offensive and maintain our current achievements, we might gain a period of peace."

"But as Hibell mentioned, this kind of peace is impossible to maintain."

"This time, defeating the World Government Army in Tiesun and putting large corporations in a tough spot was largely due to the surprise attack I led, which caught them off guard; such a victory cannot be duplicated."

"If we stop now, wait for the enemy to regain its ground or take the initiative, what will be the cost for us?"

"The second option is the same; continuing to fight will consume immense manpower and resources. So where do these come from? None of us are gods, we can’t summon water and bread from thin air."

"If we continue to expand new battlefronts and engage in continuous fighting like the past year, then we have to exploit our fellow compatriots in the rear."

At this point, something strange happened.

In everyone’s impression, Su Mo is a very strong person who has weathered all sorts of storms.

Yet, he suddenly got red-eyed at the combat meeting, arms crossed, shaking his head constantly.

"I don’t want to see everyone sacrifice anymore, whether it’s Wolf Raid’s warriors, our mercenaries, or fellow compatriots in the rear... A hundred years of repeated sacrifices, enough, truly enough, the world shouldn’t be like this..."

Everyone didn’t understand why Su Mo suddenly became so sentimental, and for a moment, there was silence.

Nuobai, being keenly aware, gently embraced Su Mo’s shoulder, comforting him with a hug.

At the same time, she took out her phone and typed, quietly showing the screen to everyone:

[He hasn’t been himself since the New Year’s celebration a few days ago.]

Fenrir, pondering for a while as he looked at Su Mo, decided to play the "bad guy" by stating the reality.

"Without sacrifice, the war won’t end. The question now is who will make those sacrifices."

Su Mo took a deep breath, patted Nuobai’s arm to indicate he was alright, and seemed to have suppressed the outpouring of vulnerability.

His voice regained its strength, and he replied: "You’re right, there will definitely be sacrifices, but we can choose a way that minimizes it, which is by ending the war as quickly as possible."

Fenrir squinted his eyes: "It sounds like you have an idea already?"

Su Mo nodded, taking control of the screen with a nearby computer and marking a strategic indicator in the heart of the territory occupied by the World Government.

Instantly, there was a sharp intake of breath in the room, and everyone looked at Su Mo in astonishment.

Staring at the screen, Su Mo said word for word: "Attack the capital."

No one expected Su Mo’s idea was to attack the capital directly?!

No ceasefire.

Not chipping away the outer edges.

Directly advancing to attack the capital?!

Shangguan Li furrowed his brows and asked: "Director Su, haven’t you gotten enough rest? The capital not only boasts the world’s most formidable defenses but also the world’s best army, located at the core, with the ’Inland Sea Fleet’ acting as the maritime gateway."

"Let’s not mention how to break through the Inland Sea Fleet’s blockade. Even if we cross the Inland Sea to attack, do you know how difficult it is to conquer the capital?"

Hibell also looked baffled: "Boss, don’t tell me you’re considering a decapitation strike, that’s unrealistic."

"After the Northern Front wraps up, the enemy’s main force has retreated, and the capital has countless Extraordinary Beings, with three of them reaching the peak of the seventh stage, even the boss lady can’t hold them down."

At this point, Fenrir signaled for them to stop and said seriously: "Director Su, continue with your plan."

Su Mo shook his head: "That’s it, the plan is to attack the capital directly, one battle to decide everything."

The audacious idea left Fenrir hesitating: "You mean, go all-in, committing all the forces, gambling big, just betting one battle to capture the capital."

Su Mo: "Correct, the headquarters of the three major corporations are in the capital, take them down in one stroke, overturn the table and their trump cards, this is the fastest way to end the war."

Fenrir: "I’m not discussing the tactical success rate with you, just humanity—not everyone is willing to sacrifice."

"I could rally those warlords in the Land of No Master and re-establish Wolf Raid, not just by relying on might and righteousness."

"More importantly, they believe that by overthrowing the World Government and large corporations with me, they can have bigger houses, better food, and live a life of comfort."

"The mercenaries under your command probably think the same way; while there are noble ones willing to give all, most just believe following you will lead to a brighter future, a better life."

"You want to go all-in, disregard the cost to capture the capital; everyone understands the dreadful casualties this implies, they’d hesitate even before starting, people’s hearts will scatter."

Su Mo revealed a complicated smile and sighed deeply: "I know, such an approach of directly targeting the capital, disregarding other regions, lacks strategic sense; it’s a reckless battle."

"Such a head-to-head confrontation merely tests which side can stack more people, endure more sacrifices. Often, whoever can ignore the cost emerges as the victor."

"I also know this scale of sacrifice will intimidate everyone. So... since no one wants to die, everyone wants to survive and live a better life, it should stop here."

"Those infantrymen supposed to be the main assault force, don’t send them up anymore."

Fenrir asked puzzled: "Without sending the main infantry... how will you conquer the capital? Just relying on drones, Titan Mecha, and us high-tier Extraordinary Beings?"

"That’s impossible, the capital isn’t like Tiesun, we can’t strike the head, no chance to crush enemy morale in short time, they’d defend every inch in urban guerrilla warfare. Without enough infantry, we can’t cover the whole battlefield."

Su Mo’s gaze became profound, his voice carrying a chill: "I mean, don’t send the infantry we have here."

"Because they are human, my compatriots, I don’t want to see fellow humans who fought side by side being crushed like dust by the war machine."

"If there have to be troops to grind into the meat grinder, to meet death, to head to hell..."

"Then let other species replace humans in sacrificing."
