Chapter 1170: Showing Weakness and Negotiation

The entire light screen was filled with red lotus fire, illuminating the entire starry sky. It spread quietly and rapidly in all directions. Everything seemed to be forbidden, and only Ripples stood in the starry sky, stepping on a huge red lotus.

Lianyi was not feeling well at this time either. The consciousness of the Karma Fire Red Lotus was still asleep, so she could only use her spiritual sense to control the karma fire. However, the serious sins on the conscious bodies were the best nourishment for the Karma Fire of the Red Lotus. The karma fire burned these conscious bodies by instinct and spread to the surroundings, forcibly pulling at Lianyi's spiritual sense bit by bit.

Just when Lianyi's consciousness felt a dull pain, the consciousness bodies rushing in the front were basically burned to death. The remaining consciousness bodies realized that they had met their nemesis and ran away as fast as they could.

Lianyi then withdrew her red lotus fire with a pale face. Tornado immediately noticed that something was wrong with her master and jumped to Lianyi's side.

"Master, I'll take you back to rest."

Lianyi had such a headache at the moment that she didn't have the strength to speak. She just nodded and rode on Tornado.

Tornado went to Rear Admiral Quinn's command ship with ease.

All the soldiers on the command ship who saw Lianyi stopped and saluted, because the subsequent warriors and star beast team specially sent to restrain conscious bodies had not arrived yet, and they encountered a strong attack again. They asked the First Legion for help in an emergency. It can be said that Major He single-handedly turned the tide and solved their predicament.

Major General Quinn did not put on airs and personally came forward with his adjutant:

"Major He, thank you for your hard work! How are you?"

"My mental strength is overdrawn."

Lianyi's face turned terribly pale. To be honest, if this happened again, she would probably die.

Quinn looked at Lianyi's expression and knew that Major He had really tried his best to help the Second Legion hold the line. He immediately said:

"I'll have my adjutant take you to the medical room to rest. There's a high-grade mental soothing solution there that can calm your mental power."

After saying that, he waved to the adjutant behind him, and the adjutant immediately took the man and the beast to the medical room.

Lianyi did not try to be brave this time and went straight into the advanced medical cabin. Whirlwind stayed in the medical room, guarding his master closely.

The adjutant immediately went back to report, and Quinn immediately contacted the command ship of the 718th Regiment, explained Ripple's situation, and promised to help Ripple recover his mental strength.

What could Thomas say except that capable people are welcomed everywhere. Lianyi's move of sending red lotus fire all over the sky had spread across the Star Network at an incredible speed, making her a rising star in the Interstellar Alliance.

After Xiaoliu knew that Lianyi's mental strength was damaged, he had some small thoughts and was wondering whether he should try his best to have a body.

Suddenly, he felt a suppressive force, followed by high-frequency vibrations, which almost shook Xiaoliu apart, and his own fused data also began to disintegrate.

"Little Liu, don't have any evil thoughts. Your master is not an ordinary citizen of the Interstellar Alliance. You can try to replace her and see what happens."

Shijiu threatened openly.

This was Lianyi's request to Shijiu before she fell asleep. Her consciousness was damaged because of her ultimate move. If she didn't wake up and Xiaoliu had other ideas, she would let Shijiu take her back to the Space-Time Administration when Xiaoliu invaded her sea of consciousness. She would give up her current body, but would not leave a dangerous factor in the Interstellar Alliance.

When they return to the Space-Time Administration, Lianyi will not let this consciousness take advantage of her even if it means she will be killed. She believes that there are many ways in the bureau to deal with Xiaoliu.

Shijiu didn't want Lianyi to fail in this test mission, so when Xiaoliu stretched out his tentative tentacles, he directly threatened the other party.

Xiao Liu was a little dumbfounded. He calculated for a long time before he was sure that Lianyi had a more advanced program, and it was the kind that could kill him instantly. He immediately became scared.

"No, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to see how much Lian Yi's consciousness had recovered."

Xiaoliu immediately retracted his tentacles and obediently stayed on the bracelet, pretending to be a quail.

Because Lianyi had made great contributions, she was given the highest-level mental soothing liquid. Later, she was also given various liquids that helped to restore mental strength. Five days later, Lianyi left the medical cabin.

The Alliance has a lot of good things. Ripple has recovered well this time. Not only has his spiritual consciousness been repaired, but it has also been slightly expanded. This time, when the Red Lotus Karma Fire is used on a large scale, the situation like last time should not happen again.

Lianyi also learned about Xiaoliu's test from Shijiu. She just snorted coldly and didn't say much. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Xiaoliu in the future.

Xiaoliu became more obedient after that incident. He didn't dare to go west when pointed east, and didn't dare to chase the chicken when beaten. He tried his best to play his best role, and even contributed the process of integrating with the program, just to hope for lenient treatment.

These are all things that happened later. Back to the present, because of this ambush, the consciousness and the people of Okotvis have become more and more anxious, but they cannot break through the defense line and have suffered heavy losses. They can only retreat temporarily and start negotiations with the Interstellar Alliance, hoping to turn hostility into friendship.

At this time, people from the Anti-Alliance organization jumped out and called on federal citizens to give the Okotvis people a chance to reform, and then let them exchange technology for a habitat. This deal seemed to be a good deal on the surface, but the military disagreed.

"We are the victor now, so even if we are negotiating, we are the ones who set the rules. What if this is a delaying tactic by the other party?

Or if the other party takes the opportunity to allow the consciousness to enter the alliance's territory, then things will get out of control. Who will be responsible for the safety of the alliance's citizens? It's really easy to talk without any pain in your waist!"

Major General Quinn was the first to stand up and oppose. His army was the one that was fighting head-on against the Okotvisians and the consciousness entities. He knew best how terrifying the consciousness entities were, and he did not want his army to become a stepping stone for these politicians.

"They are just dreaming. They are even offering technology in exchange. What are they getting in exchange for? If they are all dead, all the technology will be ours. We don't have to pay anything. We can just let those scientists with advanced brains decipher it."

Major General Yu Hua of the Third Army said in a gruff voice.

The remaining generals also agreed with Quinn and Yu Hua's views. In their opinion, as long as the enemy was defeated, everything of the enemy would be their spoils of war, and there was no need to sit down and negotiate.

The top military officials here reached a consensus and immediately responded to the coalition government.

In fact, the government is divided into two parts. One part believes that there is no need for negotiation and that they would rather use strength to crush the other party and gain everything.

Another group of people believed that this was an opportunity to demonstrate the friendship, tolerance and strength of the Interstellar Alliance and to establish a good interstellar image, so they advocated sitting down for negotiations.

"Come on, how can there still be such a confused person? In a battle between two parties, it's always the winner who wins, why are there so many twists and turns?"

Lianyi was looking at the military intelligence intercepted by Xiaoliu while complaining.

"Master is right!"

Xiaoliu now also respectfully calls Lianyi his master.

“Who started it on the government side?”

"Wu Tianxing's father, Wu Duyu (yu)."
