Chapter 316 Cooperation
"I have brought the news. If you have anything else to say, hurry up!" Wei Zhentian puffed his beard and glared, as if he was complaining that time was running out and he would not be able to bear it any longer.
Lan Yuncheng looked at Senior Wei, whose figure became increasingly illusory and almost transparent, and felt a deep respect in his heart. "Senior, all you need to do when you return is say 'the operation can begin'. Thank you for your hard work during this period!"
"Nothing! I'm fine!" Wei Zhentian suppressed the smile on his face and tried to act as if nothing had happened. The next second, he disappeared into the air like a wisp of smoke.
"What did Edward say?" Lan Yuncheng turned around and looked at Lu Lige beside him.
Lu Lige responded quickly: "He has agreed to cooperate."
"Very good, then it's time for us to take action." A determined light flashed in Lan Yuncheng's eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and serious.
Lan Yuncheng raised his hand politely, pointed to a seat, and said to Edward VII: "Your Majesty, please. Do you have anything else to add or adjust regarding our cooperation?"
Edward VII trembled slightly and walked slowly over to sit down. At this moment, he has long lost his former superior and majestic kingly demeanor.
When he learned that he had been controlled by a human for five years, his country was torn apart and devastated, and his own son almost lost his life, it was such a heavy blow that no one could bear. The fact that he has been able to hold on until now and not collapse from anger has already demonstrated his extraordinary mental strength.
Although he received meticulous care from humans in the nine days since he woke up, his health deteriorated and he became weaker day by day. "As long as you promise not to enslave the orcs, I have no objection." Although Edward VII's voice was weak, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Up to his generation, the orcs all adhere to the idea of loving their own people.
During his reign, he was always committed to guiding the orcs to change their thinking, with the ultimate goal of breaking down class barriers and achieving equality like the Federation. After all, the lives of the lower classes of the empire were too difficult and miserable.
It was precisely because of his innovative move that Bai Zhu had the opportunity to take advantage. Bai Zhu used his human identity to deceive people and form cliques in the orc kingdom. Many of the lower-class people naively believed that what they did was to liberate the orcs, not knowing that they had been involved in a huge conspiracy.
"In that case, let's have a pleasant cooperation." Lan Yuncheng stretched out his right hand and looked at Edward VII sincerely.
Edward VII nodded slightly, raised his hand and shook hands tightly with Lan Yuncheng, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Under the careful escort of Lan Yuncheng and his party, Edward VII successfully returned to the main planet and made contact with his loyal ministers.
March 12, 2029, this is the tenth day since Lan Ximeng returned to school. A piece of bombshell news came like a bolt from the blue, instantly exploding throughout the federation and causing an uproar.
"What! General Legere is a traitor! How is this possible!"
Still in the school cafeteria, Lan Ximeng and the other three did not expect to receive such explosive news.
"It must be true. All the reports and videos about him have been quickly removed recently. Not only him, but many high-level figures have disappeared at the same time. These people are most likely traitors!" A well-informed classmate said confidently, with certainty written on his face.
"And news has come from the front line that the current commander has been replaced by General Robert." Another classmate added hurriedly, fearing that everyone would miss this key information.
"Did you hear that from your cousin's cousin's uncle?" Someone couldn't help but ask, half believing and half doubting.
"Yes, it's absolutely authentic. And I heard that the research institute has developed a virus that is specifically effective against orcs, and this time it will be used on the front line." The classmate who broke the news lowered his voice mysteriously, as if he was sharing a shocking secret.
"Is this true? Will this virus also affect us humans?" Someone's face was full of worry, with his brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
"No, the Federation has tried this virus on various planets before in order to find the hidden orcs. Look, we are all safe and sound!" Someone explained, trying to allay everyone's concerns.
"No way? When did this happen? How come I don't know anything about it?" Someone looked confused, obviously unaware of the Federation's previous actions.
"No, I have to go to the school clinic."
"I'm going too!"
When Lan Ximeng and the other three heard this, they were filled with disbelief.
"Is it true?" As a member of Robert's family, Alice should not have been unaware of such a big thing as her uncle becoming a front-line commander.
Lan Ximeng was also shocked. Wasn’t there a rumor the day before yesterday that the orc king was being controlled on the front line? How come the situation changed so drastically in the blink of an eye?
Wang Chunlei and Julia also looked confused. They felt out of touch with the outside world and were at a loss for words about this sudden news.
Before they could recover from this series of shocks, good and exciting news came from the front line - the orcs had retreated.
The command was transferred in the morning and the enemy retreated in the afternoon. Such a rapid change is really unbelievable.
"What exactly is this virus? Why is it so powerful? Can it spread in space?" Alice was full of doubts. She didn't think that this was just due to her uncle's command ability. No matter how capable my uncle was, it was impossible for him to force the enemy to retreat in just half a day.
"I don't know. I'm a little curious." Wang Chunlei's eyes were shining with curiosity. At this moment, she wanted to find some virus samples immediately to study and analyze them carefully.
Lan Ximeng knew what the virus was, but she never expected it to be so powerful.
On the front battlefield, many human soldiers looked at the collapsed behemoths on the ground, their hearts filled with shock. The new commander ordered them to pretend to be defeated, retreat step by step, and lure the orcs to the planet. As a result, as soon as these orcs walked out of the mechas and starships, they instantly turned back into their original forms and fell into a deep sleep.
“What a powerful virus!”
"We have received an order from above to control these orcs!"
"yes!"
The orc frontline commander was furious when he received the news. He threw the cup in his hand to the ground and cursed: "Damn humans, they are so despicable!"
He is a duke of the empire. After hearing the news of the king's "death", he attempted to use the troops in his hands to seize the marginal planet of mankind. After resting, he led his troops back to the empire and ascended the throne himself.
Later, he learned that the king was not dead but was controlled by humans. He was secretly delighted, thinking that as long as he could capture the king and force him to abdicate, he could achieve his goal without any effort. Unexpectedly, once humans changed their commander, they resorted to using viruses.
When he saw the humans retreating, he thought it was because the new commander was incompetent, but he never expected it to be a trap.
"hateful!"
"Report!" An orc soldier ran in in a panic and shouted, "Oh no, all the orcs outside have turned back into..." Before he could finish his words, the soldier instantly turned into a white parrot, fell to the ground and fell asleep.
"What!" Upon seeing this, the Duke immediately covered his mouth and nose, but it was too late. The scene in front of him quickly blurred and soon fell into darkness.
General Robert, who was sitting firmly on the command platform, looked at the battle report from the front line, nodded with satisfaction, and ordered: "Announce to the public that after the orcs learned about the severity of the virus, they surrendered and retreated, and their commander was also captured alive."
"yes!"
