Chapter 604 I haven't made a move yet
This question doesn't quite fit the current atmosphere.
Hermod was quite surprised and looked at Li Ming in front of him, "You don't seem to care about your own safety."
Li Ming acted calmly, "My life should be fine."
Eyes converged on him, and Hermod nodded in agreement. "Yes, you have incredible potential. Perhaps you and I could become colleagues."
"Your teacher has asked you to use yourself as bait many times, and I'm afraid he believes this as well. Many people wouldn't kill you unless it was absolutely necessary, but you probably still harbor resentment."
Despite hearing the obvious divisive words, Li Ming's reaction was very calm, "Your Excellency has not responded to my question just now."
"That's it." Hermod raised his chin slightly, pointing to a certain direction, and spoke casually.
Li Ming glanced over and was not surprised. "It turned out to be Mr. Sven."
Anduin and Sheffield glanced over, their expressions indifferent, without any extra emotions. It was understandable that someone betrayed them.
Only Barbaro was shouting, "You're not even as good as Benito, what a loser."
Sven's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. These people from the three major civilizations were really good-for-nothings. The dust hasn't really settled yet, and they don't help cover up for him.
He forced a helpless smile and said, "I can't help it. I can't really go head-to-head with the three major civilizations."
"How can I feel at ease with just one sentence from Lord Qinglong?"
"The people under my command have followed me for hundreds of years. I must give them an explanation."
He explained repeatedly, but everyone's reaction was indifferent. After a few words, their shame and anger turned into resentment, and they said coldly:
"Don't look at me like that. Don't think I don't know what you guys are planning."
"If you see the situation is bad, you will probably run faster than me."
"In the end, we all have to submit to the three great civilizations. I'm not as strong as you, and I don't have the same influence as you. If I want to gain more benefits, I naturally have to face reality as soon as possible."
"Besides, I'm not Qinglong's subordinate, and Qinglong has never done me any good, let alone betrayal!"
"Just be patient. No one is accusing you of betrayal." Li Ming said helplessly, "The word I used just now was 'surrender'. I'm simply curious about who leaked the information. I absolutely won't criticize your choice."
Sven's face froze for a moment, and then turned ashen.
If Li Ming's reaction had been more annoyed and furious, he might have felt better.
But the other party's nonchalant reaction also indirectly showed that the other party did not take him seriously at all.
The people from the three major civilizations looked at the internal strife in front of them with a smile on their faces. This was not the first time they had seen such a scene.
In the past, when people used their power to oppress others, they would naturally behave in an ugly way under such heavy pressure.
They also like to see it, and it is also a benefit for people of the three major civilizations.
"Who do you think you are to be teased..." Sven stared at Li Ming with a grim look.
Before he could finish his words, a golden light flashed before his eyes, and Sven's heart skipped a beat.
Hermod said calmly, "Pay attention to your emotions. This person may very well be my future colleague."
"Sir Hermod, this matter has not yet been concluded."
People from the Empire and the Star Alliance are very unhappy, and it is still uncertain who Li Ming will be assigned to in the end.
Sven almost choked on a mouthful of blood. Is this Hermod mentally ill? Who is one of them now?
Li Ming hasn't even joined him yet, but he's already extending an olive branch?
His development potential is indeed very high, but is it necessary to reach this point now?
He was extremely angry, but the terrifying power emanating from the Kashmir Spear before him was like being pricked by needles all over his body. If he moved even a little, his life would be in danger, so he dared not even think of resisting.
I forced the unfinished words back into my stomach.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't waste time. Qinglong has other methods. The reason he took so long to come here is that he was waiting for a certain opportunity."
Out of "convert fanaticism", after his identity was exposed, he immediately told everything he knew, hoping to plunge these people into an irretrievable situation.
When he was with a few people before, it was not convenient for him to contact the three major civilizations, so he could only wait until now.
"Oh?" Hemode retracted the Kashmir Spear and looked at Li Ming again. It was not unexpected information that Qinglong would take action. He came here because of Qinglong.
Compared to these people, they clearly knew that Qinglong had looted the Holy Castle base and should not be underestimated.
Knowing he wouldn't get an answer, he didn't ask Li Ming and said calmly, "Let's get to the point."
"Chaos Star Gap must undergo a major reshuffle. All of your subordinates must be handed over, and several of them also need to be reformed."
The so-called transformation is to implant the control methods of the three major civilizations, and life and death are controlled by others.
Sven pursed his lips slightly and said with a gloomy face: "I suggest that we take these people down first, and then we can discuss it."
"You have no right to speak here," the imperial representative said calmly, "Your mission has been completed."
Thirty to five, including the Kashmir Guns, this is an absolute advantage. Naturally, there is no need to negotiate conditions. No one dares to say no to a direct wipeout.
However, clearing the chaotic star gap is only a means, not an end.
Their purpose is to contain Qinglong, to avenge the last challenge for the board seat, and to weaken Qinglong's prestige.
It is easy to just catch it and leave, but the effect cannot be maximized.
They need Anduin and others to surrender completely, and then prove to the outside world that even in the places where the Azure Dragon has the greatest influence, their three major civilizations will bow down wherever they go.
Sven certainly understood this logic. If his identity was not exposed, he would not mind acting with the three major civilizations.
But these bastards exposed his identity right from the start. Even if Anduin and others were recruited later, they would definitely continue to target him.
And Qinglong will definitely regard him as a target to be killed.
Anduin glanced at Li Ming. Whether it was to delay time or to negotiate terms, he had to cooperate with the three major civilizations.
"We cannot agree to this condition. We have already handed over all the people wanted for serious crimes. There is no need for any investigation."
In the virtual conference room, Adam said solemnly:
"Hermod, tell them that we are willing to take a step back. As long as they hand over the suspects and accept investigation, we will not take any further action against them."
Malcolm frowned subconsciously and looked at Adam, "What do you want to do? This doesn't go according to the plan."
The basic action plan had already been drawn up, but he couldn't understand why they had to give up when they had the upper hand.
"See how they respond." Adam did not respond directly.
"Just accept the review and it's fine?" Anduin grew suspicious. "Does that mean no further action will be taken?"
Hermod responded with a frown, looking very reluctant.
"That's right. As long as you accept the investigation and hand over your subordinates, we will not force you to join the three major civilizations, nor will we harm your interests. You can even continue to maintain the Chaos Star Gap, as long as you are under our supervision."
As soon as the words fell, people from the three major civilizations began to murmur in confusion.
This is completely different from the original action plan.
They were so aggressive before, but ended up slamming on the brakes?
Sven was stunned and breathing rapidly. If he had known the conditions would be like this, would he have backstabbed Qinglong?
This... Li Ming frowned slightly. The scene in front of him was not what he expected. This condition was too generous.
Anduin was also surprised. Could it be that it was Azure Dragon's doing, or that something unexpected happened in the outside world, forcing the three major civilizations to retreat?
He subconsciously speculated, but couldn't think of any other reason, and his eyes gradually brightened.
I guess it was Qinglong who really caused some trouble in the outside world.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the other party's attitude changed so drastically.
In this case, his eyes flickered slightly, and he actually felt a bit more confident. He said in a deep voice, "We can't accept the condition that we ourselves will also be investigated. Moreover, we will not hand over our subordinates. At most, we will accept investigation."
No... I haven't done anything yet, where do you get so confident?
Li Ming stared at Anduin. This guy seemed to have misunderstood something. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
This was too much. Hermod's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency had better understand the current situation."
Bang!
The bottom of the Kashmir Spear slammed hard onto the ground, and fine cracks spread. An invisible aura of solemnity enveloped every X-level life form present, and their hearts tightened.
"I see it clearly." Anduin frowned slightly, but did not back down, and even confronted him in a tit-for-tat manner.
Sheffield seemed to understand, and he looked up and said, "It should be very lively outside now."
Why are you pretending to be so profound? It's so lively outside.
Li Ming was speechless, thinking rapidly in his mind. The scene before him was really weird, but he couldn't find any clue.
"Haha..." Barbarol laughed, clasped his fists, and looked sideways, as if he understood.
Sven's face turned pale. Seeing everyone's reaction, his heart sank to the bottom and he became more and more angry.
The three major civilizations are really useless. How can such a large force be controlled by Qinglong?
These guys have gone crazy. Are we really the ones who have the advantage?
The X-level life forms of the three major civilizations looked at each other in confusion, and some quickly checked their smart terminals.
I found that everything outside was calm and nothing had happened.
Hermod remained silent, his brows furrowed, and the scene seemed frozen.
The real confrontation takes place in another territory of the universe.
Tandin stood in the void, his whole body surging with boiling energy.
Alves' long hair fluttered and turned into a long chain of stars that disappeared into the sky.
Each strand of hair is as bright as a galaxy, and the light behind it is interwoven into an inverted cross light corona.
Because the two people were extremely close to each other, energy ripples were generated that tore through the void.
Both of them looked extremely ugly, and the reason for this was the large amount of energy that was rising and falling not far in front of them.
They were some members of the higher life form united organization led by Gustav.
"How could this group of people actually find this place? How could the coordinates be leaked!" Tandin's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. They were originally paying attention to the situation in the Chaos Star Gap.
But suddenly I found this group of people appearing nearby.
"I don't know." Alves's face was solemn. There were too many people in front of him.
There are also several evolved forms such as Gustav, Anatoly, Perkins, etc. who have gone very far on the road to the ultimate.
Even if the two of them were combined, they couldn't deal with this group of people.
"If it is exposed at this point in time, it will probably be very..." He suddenly stopped, his pupils contracted slightly, and his heart was shocked.
"It should be impossible..." He murmured secretly, "If that's the case... Qinglong..."
Those who were even more confused than them were Gustav and others.
"Tandin, Alvis? Why are they both here?"
"It seems like we really found a big fish."
"Could it be the Red River Star Stream incident?" Someone's mental fluctuations came, and some people who didn't react changed their expressions slightly.
I’m afraid it’s that thing... Gustav’s heart couldn’t help but beat.
Although a long time has passed since the secret of the deep Red River Star Stream was revealed, there are still many people who are paying attention to this matter.
However, the Federation and the Empire were on high alert, and even the Covenant couldn't find any clues.
Unexpectedly, by some coincidence, he was the first to find it.
"This matter requires careful planning... There must be a big secret..." Anatoly's voice came, and his eyes also revealed greed.
"Well, the Star Alliance doesn't even know about it right now... If it gets out, it will probably cause a series of huge turmoil..." Gustav responded, but before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
His body stiffened as if struck by thunder, and a series of events emerged in his mind and then became a thread at this moment.
Knowing the coordinates does not mean knowing the secret.
But it must be a perfect opportunity, and the Covenant will definitely take this opportunity to force the Alliance and the Empire to reveal the real secret.
But what is the situation now?
The coalition forces of the three major civilizations are currently disrupting the interstellar gap. Once the Star Alliance learns of this news, there will definitely be a reaction.
Naturally, the Empire and the Alliance were reluctant to reveal this secret easily, after all, they had protected it for so long.
Countless costs were invested before, and sharing them now is equivalent to letting the Star Alliance get them for free.
But as long as they pull each other a little, will the coalition still be a coalition?
At this moment, he understood the whole thing, but his face became frightened and uneasy.
An expressionless figure appeared in my mind.
Azure Dragon!
It must be Qinglong!
This place should be extremely secure and should not be known to anyone, but he happened to find it at this time. It was all too coincidental.
He suddenly turned his head, and his spiritual power surged out like a boiling sea. "Everyone, stop what you are doing. Don't spread this news!"
Everyone was at a loss. Gustav was extremely anxious. He looked around and his heart sank to the bottom.
Igor disappeared at some point.
………
"Adam, the situation is going well, why are you suddenly giving in?"
In the virtual conference room, Malcolm frowned, very unhappy with Adam's unauthorized decision.
He was also secretive and refused to reveal his real purpose.
"These guys seem to think that Qinglong has taken action." Gutierrez said while staring at the screen.
