"You're welcome for that." Zhao Wei replied as if it was the obvious thing in the world, which was probably what elicited this reply.
"THE WAR HAD ALREADY STOPPED BEFORE YOU DID THIS... THIS... WHAT EVEN THE!?... ARTYUBFHIBFGDTHT!!!!" Moto-tsunes words trailed off into a tirade of gibberish as he looked at the aftermath.
Sure the war was stopped, but how were they supposed to handle everything now?
Wars usually ended in one of two ways. Either one side lost and come under the other, or both sides decided to issue a ceasefire.
Either way took a long time and would require the shedding of a lot more blood or the presence of extreme extraneous circ.u.mstances to bring the whole ruckus to a stop.
Even the provisions their side acquired from headquarters were enough to last their men a few months here at the very least.
He thought Zhao Wei was absolutely insane in thinking he could stop the war, especially considering that it was only the first clash and both sides were still at full force.
The only reason he tagged along on that suicide mission was really because he didn't have anything to lose. When the authority was wrenched away from him by his direct subordinates, he knew he had only one of two ends waiting for him.
One was most certainly death, whether he was killed by his men or died from the numerous options available to him in the wilderness, that path was extremely likely for someone in his situation.
The alternative wasn't much better, either he ended up as a slave here...
Or he escaped back to Central.
Which would probably be the end of his road. Failing in such a largely funded operation, the higher ups who vouched for him would sooner have him silenced rather than take any political backlash from it. And even if he was allowed to live, retaining his career was most definitely out of the question.
The first person to call upon a commander who couldn't even reign in his own men had probably had a screw loose or was contemplating political suicide and real suicide after tha before he made his move.
Either way following Zhao Wei didn't seem like a bad decision at the time.
But whereas all his other options had the possibility of death, riding with Zhao Wei... was probably like running straight towards death in the hopes that it will dodge you instead.
In the end, since both sides had stopped with their entrance, Moto-tsune almost thought that there was actually a way to salvage the situation.
A moment of clarity could go a long way to ending the bloodshed, if they were able to use this opportunity then maybe he could find some way to end their campaign her with a cooperation between both sides.
Now that they had a full on clash, the leaders in t.i.thor would have to reconsider their options and weigh the benefits of continuing such a battle for the days to come.

Unlike Central's men, they had no supplies coming from anywhere, and with every man needed to do battle and their enemy right next door, which of them would be able to farm the land for anything.
Their own people situated here would also have to contemplate whether they wanted to continue hostilities as Central's support wasn't indefinite. The firepower and trained soldiers supplied today wouldn't just keep flowing here.
Even if their main goal was to help all the humans from the old world, it was still a numbers game for Central.
As they spoke Central had dispatched troops and support to several similar human establishments. That being said, they required a ridiculous amount of funds and resources to keep the whole thing running, the last thing they wanted was to provide for a long term skirmish in any one place.
It was the equivalent of a bucket with a hole in the bottom.
Not to mention provisions and supplies, every bullet and man was another drop they wasted in an effort with no obvious end in sight. And t.i.thor's men didn't seem like they'd go down easy. In that one clash, they'd tested several weapons and vehicles that were developed for the new world. None of which acted as a proper deterence.
Alot of which were also destroyed during the conflict.
Alot of which took quite alot from Central's wallet.
Hence, by this point, both had really solid grounds for negotiations.
Treat it right and he might still just come out of this on top.
For a few seconds there, he even believed that Zhao Wei was still his biggest boon here. If he was able to convince him to come to Central, there would be no end to the factions who would attempt to affiliate themselves with him just to hire this man.
Even though he didn't think he was stronger than the very top humans in Central, Moto-tsune didn't think he was very far from it. At the very least, he considered him to be within the top 10,000 people, and even with that number, there'd be countless recruitment offers immediately available.
Of course, he also needed Zhao Wei to get to Central. There was still the issue of his "elite" men.
While he could avoid getting backstabbed immediately by staying in t.i.thor under the guise of a peace envoy. There was no chance they'd let him reach headquarters without a fight.
In the first place they knew their actions could very well land them in some pretty hot waters, though they probably didn't really consider the risks in face of the potential rewards.
They certainly weren't banking on Moto-tsune leaving and surviving to reach this point when their plans were just beginning to unfold.
As long as he had Zhao Wei around, that'd be one worry off his chest.
But just when his perspective of Zhao Wei was changing, the man does something like...
This.
He wasn't even sure if he should've gotten angry over this, he didn't even know exactly how he would cla.s.sify this situation.
