After hearing that Zayne was ready to show off their power to the negotiator that Hamed had sent over, the entire Ten Thousand Armies' army of fifteen thousand soldiers was extremely energetic and excited as they immediately began making the preparations.
Aside from a handful of middle and high-level officers from Ten Thousand Armies who were determined to avenge their dead brothers, the vast majority of the remaining soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies did not have feelings for things such as revenge.
After all, they were all mercenaries, and they had gathered from all over the world to fight side by side in Ten Thousand Armies just so that they could make money. In truth, they would not feel touched or emotional even if anyone else died or got injured.
What they really cared about were the issues that were closely related to themselves, such as how much money they would be given, whether the task would be dangerous or not, and whether the job would be tough and tedious.

Therefore, the reason why they were so interested to show off their strength at this moment was not because they had a sense of collective honor, but instead, it was because they had already gotten tired and bored of staying at this godd*mned forsaken place long ago, and they were simply thinking of putting this to an end as soon as possible.
Now that the other party had already cover for a peace negotiation, they should seize the opportunity to show off their strength in front of the other party. It would be best if they could scare and frighten the other party to the point that they would decide to surrender obediently.
The soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies felt even more excited when they heard that the government had painstakingly withdrawn twenty to thirty thousand soldiers from other places just for the sake of this review. If they were to combine the number of their troops from both sides, it would add up to fifty thousand to sixty thousand men. Wouldn't the negotiator that Hamed had sent over be scared out of his wits, then? 3 As for the matter of not allowing live ammunition, it was also nothing unusual to them. There were basically very few reviews with live ammunition in this world. There had only been one real live ammunition review once, and that was during the Soviet military parade in 1941. After more than hundreds of thousands of soldiers had participated in the military parade over there, they had then immediately set off and rushed to the battlefield to defend their country.
In addition, it had to be ensured that there was no live ammunition in all reviews. Otherwise, if anyone were to leave a bullet behind in the gun and wait to shoot and kill when the representative from the enemy side comes, the situation would really be out of control, then.
So, the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies then subconsciously removed all the ammunition from their firearms, and the superiors also issued an order requiring the officers at all levels to conduct a second inspection and confirmation of the firearms belonging to the basic level soldiers.
At the stime, the government was also actively making its own preparations. It was just that their preparations were diametrically opposed to that of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies. What they had to confirm was that allá all the weapons and ammunition were already on standby at any time.
After that, the soldiers from both sides began lining up in a large, open area in front of the camp.
The government troops who had originally been fighting alongside Ten Thousand Armies were gathered on the right side of Ten Thousand Armies, and the government troops which had been brought over from various places were arranged to assemble on the left side of Ten Thousand Armies. Moreover, a large number of armored vehicles were all lined up and parked directly in front and at the back, and this was equivalent to surrounding all fifteen thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies completely, like the stuffing in a dumpling.
Nevertheless, the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies did not sense anything unusual.

He walked directly in front of his soldiers with his hands behind his back as he emphasized the sphrase repeatedly, "I want everyone to listen up! We have to display our strongest posture and strive to overwhelm our enemy with our momentum!" 2 All of the mercenaries from Ten Thousand Armies responded one after the other as they stood tall and upright.
At the stime, they were also filled with contempt for the m government troops on their left and right sides. All of these men looked iment so carefree, and they did not look like soldiers at all. However, who would have expected
that just as the army had finished assembling and the fifteen thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies were waiting for Hamed's negotiator to appear, all of the government troops suddenly aimed their guns and cannons directly at the fifteen thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies. After that, this was followed by someone shouting through a loudspeaker: "All soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies should raise their hands and surrender unconditionally! Anyone who dares to resist and refuses to surrender will be killed on sight!" At this point, the fifteen thousand soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies were all completely shocked! Who would have expected that things would suddenly take a huge turn for the worse?!
Who would have expected that the friendly force, who had been fighting by their side, would suddenly turn on them with guns in their hands?! 4 X
