Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 753 A Mutually Beneficial Confrontation

At this moment, the communication magic stones of Moose and Koda rang at the same time.

"Captain Moose, we are on our way. The death of the giant just now caused a commotion. Please wait for five more minutes. Do not take the Abyss Potion. It is a scam..."

"To all the soldiers of the Beast Forest at the outposts, please prevent the Seth soldiers from taking the Abyss Potion as much as possible. The purifying mist for neutralization has been activated. In five minutes, the Abyss Potion will become ineffective..."

This was an encrypted communication, the sound was very low, and neither party could hear the sound of the other party's communication magic stone.

But from this moment on, the strategies of both sides changed at the same time, from fighting to delaying time.

If there were other ways, Moose certainly didn't want to take the Abyss Potion. This was a deadly poison that would kill you and there was no turning back once you drank it. So when he heard the message that reinforcements would arrive in five minutes, he immediately put the potion he had just taken out back.

Koda thought so too. All the Beast Forest soldiers, including him, were worried that Seth's soldiers would take medicine. With their current combat power, they would never be able to defeat the giants, so they all stopped.

"Just surrender, the Beast Forest will treat prisoners well..."

"Don't come any closer, be careful I might turn into a giant..."

Moose and Koda spoke at the same time, threatening each other and trying to avoid a head-on confrontation. Their main purpose was to delay time, and the atmosphere on the scene became a little awkward for a moment.

Koda couldn't help but frown when he heard that, but he still pretended to be calm and sneered: "Do you two really dare to drink the Abyss Potion? Although you can indeed turn into terrible giants, you will die miserably in a dozen minutes, just like the other Seth soldiers!"

"You have all been deceived by those Seth officers and high-ranking officials. They are all devils who eat people without leaving any bones. I believe they all know the price of the second dose of Burial Abyss, but they still let each of you have a bottle. It seems that those high-ranking officials have already regarded you as abandoned pawns!"

"There is no need to risk your life for such a ruthless country. There is a saying in the East that goes, 'If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.' I am not well educated, but I still know this truth."

"Throw out the Abyss Potion, unload your weapons, raise your hands, and come out obediently. We promise not to shoot. Even if you don't trust the Beast Forest, you should trust the Campbell family. Unlike the shameless Seth Empire, the Campbell family will abide by international conventions..."

Faced with Koda's verbal instigation, Muss was not affected at all, his expression remained calm. After all, he was an abandoned child of the empire, and every soldier of the vanguard army knew this.

But it must be said that Kodak's proposal is still very attractive. If the two of them can really become prisoners of the Campbell family, their treatment will definitely be better than that of the vanguard soldiers.

Over the years, the reputation of the Campbell family has been known to everyone. The Campbell army was invincible in the Central Plains countries, and during the five years of fighting, it conquered a large number of small kingdoms.

But no matter what, Campbell's army strictly abided by international conventions, never massacred a city, and never used defeated soldiers as cannon fodder.

Not only that, the Campbell army even allowed some soldiers from the defeated countries to surrender. Although their treatment was not as good as that of regular Campbell soldiers, it was not much different. If compared with the treatment of the vanguard army, it was simply a world of difference.

All the vanguard troops knew that this time it was the Campbell family who supported the Beast Forest behind the scenes. If by chance they could become a prisoner of the Campbell family, that would seem to be great.

Afterwards, he was locked up in a cell, waiting to be exiled after the war. In a sense, it was also freedom, which was better than staying in the vanguard camp until he died of old age.

But these only apply to those vanguard soldiers who have no ties. Mus is different. Before joining the vanguard, he was a serious knight with family, friends, and land. After all, the Seth Empire is still his root.

Jasmine was somewhat tempted. She was born a prostitute with a tragic fate. She had no ties before joining the Vanguard Army. If she could become a prisoner of the Campbell family, it would be a way out. She was also tired of the precarious life.

"Mus, why don't we surrender? I don't want to go back to the Vanguard Camp..."

Hearing this, Moose just shook his head and looked at Jasmine seriously and said, "If those Beast Forest soldiers are all from the Campbell family, then I will consider it, but they are all orcs from the Beast Forest, orcs who hate our Seth Empire!"

"If we really do what he says, we will most likely be shot to death!"

Yes, the two sides really lack a basis of trust. In the final analysis, it is because Kodak is just a soldier of the Beast Forest. The Campbell family does abide by international conventions, but the Beast Forest may not be the same. Savagery and brutality are synonymous with the Beast Forest.

Moose immediately yelled at the top of his lungs, "Stop talking nonsense, just retreat obediently, or we will drink the Abyss Potion right away!"

"Haha, I don't believe you really dare to drink it," Kodak said disdainfully, "If you really wanted to die with honor, you should have drunk the Abyss Potion a long time ago. Why did you wait until now?"

"Then you can give it a try. Keep going forward. We are all going to die anyway. We two don't mind taking you with us!"

"Calm down, can't we talk it out? Becoming a prisoner is the best outcome for everyone. Why should we end up with no one surviving..."

Koda and a group of Beast Forest soldiers retreated obediently. They were really afraid of pushing Moose and Jasmine into a corner, so their main goal at the moment was to delay time.

Noticing the footsteps gradually fading away, Moose let out a sigh of relief and continued arguing with Kodak.

Time passed by minute by minute, and both sides believed that they had a sure win, so they communicated patiently, and no one dared to break this rare confrontation.

The corners of Moose's mouth curled up. He thought that the Beast Forest soldiers were all cowards. He intimidated them with just a few words. As long as the support of the vanguard arrived later, these Beast Forest soldiers would be dead.

Kodak and a group of Beast Forest soldiers also had smiles on their faces. They thought that Moose and Jasmine were fools. As long as the purifying mist spread over, the Abyss Potion would lose its effect, and that would be the time when Moose and Jasmine would die!

As time goes by, both sides feel that the balance of victory is moving towards them, but unfortunately, only one of them can win, while the other will lose completely.
