Chapter 183 Chaos Bai's face turned pale. The thing he was worried about happened...
"What did you say?" Ryback looked at Listin in disbelief. "How is this possible?"
Listandin: "How is that impossible? You allow your descendant, Jordi Collet, to enter the Central Star and become the most capable governor beside the Insect Emperor, but you won't allow me to place my descendant in the Imperial Army and become Bai Smellid's right-hand man?"
"How do you know that Jordy Collet is my descendant? He himself doesn't even know his relationship with me." Ribak frowned, feeling that this long-time friend was becoming more and more unfamiliar, as if he had never known him before.
He transformed Jody Collet from birth.
Jordi Collet has a nano camera installed in one of his eyes. This camera will not be connected to the Internet, and all data will be stored in the camera's built-in memory card.
So even if the most advanced equipment was used to scan Jordi Collet's entire body, they would only find a foreign object in his eye.
The origin of this foreign body has long been reasonably explained - Jordi Collet was born with a congenital defect and poor vision in one eye, and the foreign body was a medical product used to correct his vision.
This reason was written in Jordy Collet's file, and even he himself did not doubt the truth of the facts.
He placed an undercover agent next to Jordi Collet. Every three months, the undercover agent would knock Jordi Collet unconscious, take out the camera hidden in his eye to obtain data, and then install the camera back.
In this way, he was able to grasp a lot of information about the Insect King's movements, avoided the Insect King's murderous intentions several times in advance, and gained a lot of benefits from it, developing a weak star pirate group into one of the largest thief groups in the universe today.
He killed all the bugs who knew Jordy Collet's identity, including Jordy Collet's real father.
He thought that apart from himself and the undercover agent he had placed next to Jody Collet, no one else in the world knew about this.
Jordi Collet did live up to his expectations. With his secret help, he stepped closer to the Insect King step by step and became the Insect King's ninth consul.
Although he is not the most trusted one, the first consul, Petty William, is away all year round. The other consuls around the Insect King are not as favored as Jordi Collet, so he can be said to be second only to the Insect King and above all others.
Ryback was very proud of the success of his plan.
However, Listin's words today shattered his pride, like a spiral pill that passed through all obstacles and went straight through his eyebrows, exploding his head and leaving him unable to recover for a long time.
After a while, Ribak calmed down. He had been through many hardships for so many years and had seen all kinds of storms. This incident was not enough to defeat him.
He looked at Listan with a serious face, just like when they first met, observing Listan from all angles with great care.
Seeing Rybak's serious expression, Listin smiled faintly: "Don't look at me like that, we are still friends, right?"
"Friend?" Riback snorted coldly. "You're such a stranger. The Listandin I know is calm, but not as cunning as you. You're so calculating! I'm afraid you have more spies in the Empire than just the captain who went on the expedition with White Smellide."
Pa pa pa.
Applause broke out, and Listin lowered his hand. "You are still as perceptive as ever. I cannot tell you the identity of my spy yet, but now that I have told you, I have no intention of harming you. I believe you will not fail to sense this."
"That's why I'm still here talking nonsense with you." Ryback warned Listandin, "You'd better not have any intention of harming me, otherwise I will die and never let you off."
After he finished speaking, Ribak turned and left. He also had to go and deploy his troops.
Now that the attack has been launched, and that madman Scott has agreed to deploy the strongest experimental subject of the Star Beast Clan, he can't just sit there. It's time to let those bastards of the Star Beast Clan see what a real experimental subject is.
When his plan succeeds, he will definitely wring Scott's neck himself!
After Ribak left, Listin was the only one left in the huge conference room.
He stared at the scene on the conference screen showing his own side being defeated and then being surrounded by the bandit suppression coalition forces. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a somewhat crazy smile. His voice was so soft that only he could hear it: "My Majesty, you are about to realize your dream!"
Hoover Walker, who was far away on the Central Star, seemed to sense something. He helped Peddie Williams, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet and said gently, "You must be exhausted. I told you to do something right after you got back. Get some rest today. I'll have more work for you tomorrow."
Loyalty shone on Peddie Williams' handsome face. "Your Majesty, I am not tired. I am guilty of not returning to the port on time."
Hoover Walker waved his hand. "You were late returning because you received another order from me mid-journey and were searching for something I wanted. If I'm wrong, I'm the one who caused you to return later than the stipulated time."
Patting Peddie Williams on the shoulder, Hoover Walker laughed heartily. "Thanks to the things you brought back, my plan has been able to succeed. I did a little experiment today, and I'm very satisfied with the results."
"Once everything is perfected and the plan succeeds, I will credit you with the first achievement."
Pedi Williams immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please be merciful."
"Alright, go down and rest." Hoover Walker looked tired. "I'm tired too. Tomorrow I'll send a bug to tell you what I want you to do, and you don't have to come to the palace."
Pedi Williams nodded silently, bowed again and left the Insect King's study. On the way out of the palace, he saw out of the corner of his eye a familiar figure on another road being led by an insect servant towards the Insect King's study.
He paused, called out to the insect attendant leading the way, and pointed at the figure that had barely vanished from view: "Who is that?"
The insect attendant was confused and looked in the direction that Peddie Williams pointed. After a moment, he replied, "Your Excellency, the First Archon, that is Director Ailer of the Mainframe System Maintenance Center."
"Has His Majesty been summoning him often recently?" asked Patty Williams again.
The insect attendant thought for a moment and nodded, "For the past two weeks, Director Ailaier has been coming to the palace every two days."
"Every two days..." Pedi Williams thought for a few seconds, and then said to the insect attendant, "You don't have to send me off. I know how to leave the palace."
After saying this, he left without caring about the insect servant.
Pedi Williams is very tall and has long legs. Years of missions have made her body stronger than that of an average female insect. She walks with great vigor and energy, and naturally cannot be caught up by an insect servant wearing a mental restriction collar.
After a while, he threw away his insect servant and disappeared without a trace.
The patrolling soldier saw that the insect attendant was about to cry with anxiety, so he kindly stepped forward to ask. After learning that it was Pedi Williams, he whispered to him not to worry.
Peddie Williams is the most trusted consul of Your Majesty and is absolutely loyal to Your Majesty. Even if he does not leave the palace at this time, there is no need to worry about him running around in the palace.
He also said that they would notify the patrol team and if they found the First Consul, they would personally escort him out of the palace. This was how the young insect servant was appeased.
Pedi Williams, who was being talked about by the insect servants and the patrol team, did not really act as a vagrant in the palace. He left the palace at an extremely fast speed and returned to his mansion on the central star.
As soon as he entered the room, he locked himself in the study and dialed a number that he would never forget even if he died.
After three beeps, the communication was connected, and the face that appeared on the virtual screen in front of him was Listandin, the leader of the miscellaneous thieves who was trapped in the Kron galaxy.
"You need me for something?" Listin asked calmly, his expressionless face looking extremely arrogant and rude.
Generally speaking, when meeting the first archon of the Zerg who is truly second only to the Zerg King and above all other Zergs, Listandin, who is a subordinate of the Zerg King and cooperates with him, would not be arrogant even if he was not polite.
But Pedi Williams didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Listandin's attitude. He quickly told Listandin what had happened after he entered the palace and that Ailair went to the palace every two days to meet the Insect King.
"His Majesty really likes the things you asked me to bring him, and he said he'll credit you with the success when it's done." Pedi Williams said in a flattering tone, "His Majesty also said he has something for me to do tomorrow."
Listandin replied coldly, "I understand. Continue to observe. Report to me at any time what His Majesty asks you to do. Don't worry about Ailair's affairs. Remember your identity and don't dream of the impossible."
"I dare not." Pedi Williams lowered his head and looked submissive, without any dignity of the first consul.
"You'd better not dare. Don't forget who the real Peddie Williams is." Listin tapped the screen with his finger, but it made Peddie Williams on the other side of the screen feel numb in his brow.
He quickly lowered his head, his eyes darting around, his trembling voice revealing his inner fear at the moment: "I really don't dare."
"Alright, keep doing what you're supposed to do. Remember, you're now the First Consul of the Empire, Peddie Williams. Don't always act so submissive." After threatening, Listin began to comfort him, "My words always count. I'll give you the freedom you want once you've accomplished your goal."
Pedi Williams looked up in surprise, only to find that the communication had been disconnected. His originally surprised expression suddenly turned cold. After a long moment, he cursed, "You old bastard!"
After venting his emotions, he did not follow the orders of Listindine, the real Peddie Williams, to not disturb Ailer, but instead began to check information about Ailer's recent whereabouts through his own information network.
After all, he had been impersonating Peddie Williams for so many years, so he naturally had his own information channels. Listin thought he could control everything, which was really arrogant.
The information network that he had carefully built over the years was very useful. Peddie Williams quickly got Ailaier's itinerary. He smiled with satisfaction, put away his Star Brain, walked through the door connecting the study and the bedroom, and went to take a shower humming a song.
Listin, who was far away in the Kron Galaxy, gently rubbed his forehead and threw the Star Brain to his subordinates behind him: "Watch him, he's becoming more and more disobedient. If he does anything stupid on his own, just kill him without asking me."
"If it's true...what about the central planet?" the subordinate wondered?
Listin turned around and stared at his subordinate without blinking. "Do I need to teach you this? Just do it the same way you did it before, or have you developed feelings for that fake?"
"I dare not!" The subordinate knelt down quickly.
Listandin lowered his eyes and gently patted his subordinate's head. "It's good that you don't dare. If I find out that you have developed any unnecessary feelings for my clone, you know the consequences."
The subordinate lowered his head even lower: "I understand."
"That's good. Go away and do what you should do." Listin said.
The subordinate didn't dare to ask any more questions and crawled out.
Listin sneered, called him an idiot, and continued to stare at the battle situation on the big screen in the conference room in deep thought.
Among the things he asked his clone to bring to His Majesty, there were two particularly important ones, one of which was the main raw material for making a shield that could block the main brain's intelligent signals.
With new raw materials, it is possible to create a shield that can block the main brain's intelligence for a longer time.
But His Majesty not only wants the main brain intelligence to be blocked, but also wants the main brain intelligence to be controlled by him. If he cannot control it, he will let it fall into chaos.
Therefore, the second thing is the key material that can disrupt the main brain's intelligence, or more precisely, an energy source that has never been discovered.
The team that found this energy source had all their electronic equipment malfunction before they even got close to it, and even the mecha powered by black crystal energy lost its original function.
Only after the team was wiped out and only two A-level female insects were left, they were able to obtain this energy source and successfully handed it over to him.
In order to shield the radioactivity of this energy, he thought of many ways and finally found a material, which is the raw material brought to Your Majesty this time for making a shield. He called this material - infinity.
It means infinite possibilities.
Currently, two-thirds of the countries in the world use various intelligent systems that are derived from the main brain system. As long as the main brain intelligence can be controlled or confused to cause its errors, it will be easy to control and attack the various mechanical intelligent systems of these countries.
Now is an era of rapid development of mechanical intelligence. Except for those galaxies that are still in primitive development and that they look down upon, no country will ignore the convenience of mechanical intelligence, which gives them the opportunity to invade other countries.
Ailaier is the main person in charge of this work, but Listin does not have a good impression of Ailaier.
The main brain system had clearly been blocked by them today, and the anti-bandit joint forces were indeed in chaos, but in just half an hour, Bai Smellide cracked it.
The undercover agent he had planted in the technical support team said that before they activated the main brain intelligent shielding system, Bai Smellide issued an order to check the system and cut off the intelligent manual operation when necessary. This was clearly a bug leaking information.
This bug is most likely the traitor Ailer.
However, no matter what, the experiment was successful.
Now, just a short blockade of the main brain's intelligence and anti-invasion can delay the huge coalition army for half an hour. When the shielding chaos device is completed, the whole world will be dominated by Your Majesty.
What they have to do is to crash the empire into the shielding device before it is activated. They want the main brain to disrupt other countries, not to play with fire and get burned.
If it weren't for this reason, he would have killed Ailai, the born rebel, long ago.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Listin gave the order to retreat. Since the east wind had arrived, there was no need for them to make any more sacrifices.
The anti-bandit joint forces were fighting fiercely when they saw the thieves' joint forces retreating in full force, even using some of the thieves as pawns in order to retreat.
Bai understood the principle of not pursuing a desperate enemy very well, but they didn't know the interior of the Kron galaxy, so they had to withdraw their troops.
Although this battle was not a bitter victory, it was not a complete victory either. The long list of deaths was suffocating them.
Murphy kicked over a chair and paced back and forth in annoyance for a full five minutes before finally speaking. "Anyway, we won. This incident tells us that we can't rely solely on intelligent systems. We have to rely on ourselves for everything."
"We all won today. Let's cheer up and face the next battle." Murphy took a deep breath and glanced at Bai who was sitting in the upper seat. Seeing Bai nod, he was about to announce the adjournment of the meeting, but heard a discordant voice coming from the back row of the meeting room.
"If the commander-in-chief hadn't insisted on his own way, we wouldn't have suffered so much loss. We would have withdrawn if we had known earlier."
"You grandson, what are you talking about?!" Murphy was furious when he heard this, pointing his finger at the representative's nose and cursing, "Have you forgotten the time when you were surrounded and nearly destroyed by interstellar pirates? When you were benefiting from it and the United Army drove the pirates out of your country, why didn't you say you were quitting?"
"Why didn't you quit when you were receiving weapons and free military instruction from the United Nations?"
"There are no immortal soldiers in war, and no one can always win. If you can't stand this, I advise you all to slit your own throats as soon as possible to save resources."
The person who raised the question was a representative of a small country. Their country was a small country located in a marginal galaxy. The country was composed of the Robe people. It was a water-loving country with relatively weak combat capability and technological development.
But because their country produces pearls, which are not only beautiful but also have medicinal and beauty uses and can even replace some small energy sources, they are often harassed by interstellar thieves.
The surrounding powers are concerned about the Universal Convention and will not bully them openly, but they will oppress them in trade.
So, over the years, they have been living in an oppressive environment.
Bai led the coalition forces to drive away the bandits who oppressed them, and they were grateful; otherwise, they would not have abandoned their previous cowardice and joined the coalition forces.
However, it is difficult to change a character that has been oppressed for a long time overnight. In addition, one-third of the soldiers they brought were lost this time, which is why they became so unreasonable.
But in the final analysis, he knew that Bai would not do anything to him, so he was almost hysterical and venting his incompetence here. He just didn't expect that he would be torn apart by Murphy without mercy.
For a moment, the representatives of the Luobei tribe lost their arrogance.
Murphy glared at the Robe representative, looked around with his leopard eyes, and said meaningfully: "Don't let me hear such words again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Murphy had said so, of course no country dared to step forward. Moreover, after this battle, they had fully understood the powerful combat capability of the interstellar pirates.
The coalition forces almost suffered a setback. If one day these bandits get tired of their wandering life and turn around to invade them, they will most likely be wiped out.
After all, the armed forces of slightly weaker countries are really no match for these wealthy bandit groups. Only big countries like the Zerg Empire, the Star Beast Kingdom and the Human Race are not afraid of them. Even the Phantom Clan and the Plant Clan may be severely damaged by the thieves.
After shaking their heads in tacit agreement, Murphy turned to look at Bai, who hadn't said much at the meeting. He saw Bai standing up silently, turning around and walking away without even looking at the representatives from other countries.
Bai's action really scared all the representatives present. They stood there in a daze, and no one went out to see what was going on. They watched Bai stride away with his two bodyguards.
After a long while, Lawson, the plant tribe representative, spoke tentatively: "Lieutenant General Murphy, you work with the commander-in-chief more often. Why don't you go and take a look..."
Murphy shook his head. "I'm not going. It's not my fault. The commander-in-chief has been quite tolerant of you. You should know your own limits. Don't take advantage of him and take advantage of his tolerance."
"That's all I have to say. You can do whatever you want."
After Murphy finished speaking, he left with his personal guards.
The remaining representatives looked at each other, then dispersed and returned to their posts.
After leaving the command center, the guard asked Murphy, "Lieutenant General, are we really not going to find the commander-in-chief? I don't think the commander-in-chief is such a petty person...worm."
Murphy stopped, slapped the back of his guard's head, and lowered his voice: "You're so smart, why didn't I notice you were so talkative before? What are you looking for? Isn't it better to let those ungrateful guys be frightened for two days?"
"Oh~" the guard showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and gave Murphy a thumbs up, "Lieutenant General, you are still very cunning."
Murphy tutted, "How can you talk like that?"
He slapped the talkative guard again and walked away.
Another of the quietest guards spoke up: "That's a shrewd and calculating person."
"You're the only one who can talk." The talkative guard glared at the quiet guard and quickly chased Murphy, shouting, "Lieutenant General, wait for me!"
*
After cleaning up the battlefield, Melon returned to the command center but found that Bai was not there. He frowned in confusion, presented the battle report to Lawson, the representative of the plant tribe in charge of post-war management, bowed politely, and left the command center to find Bai.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the white tent, I saw Sli and Slang standing outside the door like door gods, and they were very surprised: "What are you doing?"
Si Li said: "The general asked us to guard it and said that no one can be allowed in."
Mellon pointed at himself and said, "Me too?"
Sly shook his head: "No."
Melon sighed: "Okay, I'll guard it with you."
Looking inside worriedly, Melon thought it was probably for Nan Qi.
The same goes for Nan Qi. He has no contact with Bai since he left. The same goes for Lunke. He keeps making trouble for Nan Qi. I hope Bai can contact Nan Qi smoothly.
In the room, Bai looked extremely bad. The thing he was worried about happened.
Although the intelligent system had recovered in the later stages of the battle and it seemed like nothing had happened, it still made Bai even more frightened.
He forced himself to handle everything and watched all the systems return to normal. After attending the combat meeting, he didn't want to waste any time and returned to the room to call No. 7 out.
But he called for a long time and number seven didn't come out.
Bai's face looked worse and worse, and his hand, which was steady enough to lift the heavy magnetic cannon, was shaking badly.
"How could this happen? What happened? Did something happen to No. 7, or..." Bai suddenly closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and sent messages to Nan Qi, Lenk and Prince Keppel respectively.
The signal blocking will be turned off in an hour. I pray that whoever sees the message will reply to him.
At the same time, Nan Qi, who was held in the closest regard by Bai, collapsed O'Connor's small building, and his entire body was suspended in mid-air. Layers of golden mist enveloped him, making it impossible for O'Connor and the others to see what was happening inside.
