Aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines; heavy tanks, medium tanks, light tanks, tank destroyers, assault tanks, self-propelled guns; bombers, fighter jets, attack aircraft...
Circe waved her hands in disbelief. Her powers had vanished again! It must be this damn collar!
She kept tearing at the collar, but the collar detected that she wanted to escape and immediately emitted a blue light, similar to the handcuffs that Shunji Takada had used before. Circe was immediately electrocuted and lost the ability to resist.
As Sersi was electrocuted, she fell to the ground and finally realized the powerlessness of being a prisoner.
Wu Jie sighed and said, "I always keep my promises, but if you, Sersi, don't keep your promise, don't blame me for being violent."
After all, they are enemies, and it is really difficult to build trust between each other.
Wu Jie walked up to Cersei, gently helped her up, and then laid her on the bed. At this moment, Cersei was numb all over from the electric shock and could not move at all. She could only let Wu Jie do whatever he wanted.
Circe calmed down a bit, and for the rare second time, she spoke: "What's the deal?"
Wu Jie said, "This is no longer a matter of transaction, but a matter of integrity. Sersi, you must first guarantee that you will keep your promise, otherwise, there will be no deal. If you want me to let you go, you must first show enough sincerity."
Wu Jie's words were undeniable. He believed that if Sersi was truly an intelligent being, she would know how to weigh the pros and cons.
Sissi lay on the bed, looking at Wu Jie's face, lost in thought.
She closed her eyes, as if thinking a lot.
She frowned, as if she had made a big decision, and finally spoke.
"I swear in the name of the Lord in Black, if I break my promise, the Lord in Black will take me into the world of darkness and sink me forever."
The Lord in Black? The Dark World? What is this? This was the first time Wu Jie had heard of these terms.
However, Wu Jie had no intention of forcing the question now. He had to establish a sufficient foundation of trust before he could communicate.
Wu Jie has a greater idea, an idea that no one else can understand. This idea may even seem ridiculous to others, but Wu Jie doesn't think so.
It is no accident that any civilization can develop to such a level. If communication is possible, it is better to use the communication method as much as possible.
War is always the worst option.
Wu Jie said in a questioning tone: "Just based on an oath? Sersi, I am not a child who has not grown up."
When Sissi heard this, she immediately sat up angrily, baring her teeth and staring at Wu Jie fiercely, like an angry little tiger.
"Human! Say that again! The greatness and terror of the Lord in Black are beyond the comprehension of ants like you!"
Wu Jie's questioning completely angered the expressionless Sersi. Although Wu Jie didn't know what the Lord in Black was or what the Dark World was, he could tell that Sersi didn't seem to be faking it.
Although he is not like the Takahashi sisters and does not have the abnormal ability of mind reading, Wu Jie believes in his own feelings at this moment.
Sheng Yue looked at Wu Jie. She could sense that Wu Jie was shaken by what Sersi said, and quickly said, "Sir, it's too rash to rely on just an oath."
Alice also raised her hand and wrote, "I agree with Shengyue!"
Wu Jie knew very well that it was too hasty to let him believe in Sersi just based on an oath. After all, this is the age of technology. Who would believe in an illusory oath?
Without any substantial guarantee and sincerity, no savvy person would approve of this ridiculous oath.
However, don't forget that humanity isn't facing a civilization like our own. Wu Jie believes that the contrast between Circe's furious reaction and her previously expressionless demeanor, as well as the various details in their interaction, is something that cannot be expressed through acting alone.
Cersei became even angrier. This was the second time she was questioned by two humans. The terror and greatness of the Lord in Black were simply beyond the comprehension of human civilization.
From the moment she made the oath, Cersei could feel that something was connected to the core of her life. She knew that her oath had taken effect, and if she broke it, she would suffer the most terrible punishment!
Circe bared her teeth at the two women on her left and right, her expression full of anger, and she made snake-like sounds.
At this moment, Wu Jie, the supreme commander, spoke: "I believe you, Sersi."
When Sersi heard this, she was stunned.
Originally, the topic had reached this point. Circe thought that the human leader in front of her would never believe her, but she did not expect the plot to take a 180-degree turn.
For a moment, Sersi found it difficult to understand...
Neither of his two subordinates believed in him, but this leader was the only one who chose to believe in him. Cersei was completely stunned for a moment.
After a while, Sersi asked in disbelief, "Human, do you believe me?"
Wu Jie stared into Sersi's eyes and nodded seriously: "I said, I believe you."
As Wu Jie said this, Shengyue and Alice said in unison: "Sir!"
Wu Jie raised his right hand and gestured to stop again: "Trust me."
The two of them frowned, looked at Cersei, and then took a step back.
Wu Jie smiled and said to Sersi, "This deal is very simple. I only want you to be my subordinate for three days. After three days, you can go wherever you want. I will never stop you."
Sersi didn't understand. Just being a subordinate for three days? Was it that simple?
This human was very cunning, as Sersi had seen during her previous fight with Wu Jie.
Without giving Sersi time to react, Wu Jie continued, "But, within these three days, I want you to remain absolutely loyal to me. Can you do that?"
Sersi fell silent, touching the collar around her neck, and the oath she had just made, as well as Wu Jie's decision to believe in her own actions against all odds...
After thinking deeply for a few times, she closed her eyes, as if she was thinking very seriously.
One second
Two seconds
Five seconds
Thirty seconds
It seemed like a long time had passed, and just when Shengyue and Alice were getting a little impatient, she finally opened her eyes.
Sersi said, "Yes, but human, I hope you can keep your promise, because I have sworn an oath to the Lord in Black. If you break your oath, be careful of the Lord in Black's punishment. Don't think that you can escape the Lord in Black's domain just because you are human."
Wu Jie fell silent again. What exactly was this being called the Lord in Black? Why was Sersi so afraid of him? Was he a god? No, no, no, this was the real world. He was most likely the highest-level being in Sersi's civilization...
