Chapter 576: Upper, Middle, Lower, Three Strategies
This matter cannot be made too big in the early stage, otherwise it will be meaningless once the Empire and the Federation show their cards.
But it can't be too small, otherwise it won't attract the attention of the Covenant.
It is best to involve the X-level life form level, but the specifications cannot be too high.
"Tsk..." Li Ming frowned slightly. He needed to strike an extremely delicate balance in this matter in order to get the result he wanted.
"Need a perfect bait..."
He unconsciously scratched the star map. There were very few candidates like him.
His information channels were not very good, so after a little thought, he contacted the Navigator, told him his request, and asked him to use the Pioneer's intelligence network to search.
The four of them have reached a consensus in the deep dimension.
In the following period, all actions will block the Bleeding One, and all his permissions will be stripped away, which is equivalent to expulsion. All members of the organization have been notified.
At the same time, the Pioneers will remain silent for a period of time to complete the restructuring of the underlying architecture and completely get rid of the influence of the Bloodshed.
This is not difficult. In order to hide his identity, Adam mostly acts as a matchmaker and a behind-the-scenes pusher, and does not do much inside.
"If we want to resolve the pressure from the three major civilizations once and for all, this is just one step..."
Li Ming's brain has hardly stopped thinking about solutions recently.
It is unlikely to completely defeat the three major civilizations, but stopping them is not as difficult as imagined.
He summarized three solutions to the current problem: upper, middle and lower.
The next best option is to get the crown of Diglas as quickly as possible and then disappear.
However, due to the limitations of the King Trial, it is almost impossible to complete. When he can pass the Secondary Overlord Trial, he does not have to disappear and become useless.
The middle strategy is to unite the United Organization of Higher Life Forms and the Mechanics Association to form a balance of power with the three major Ming systems.
Although there are no major problems with the Mechanics Association, due to their overall strength, they mainly play a supporting role.
The main force is still in the United Organization of Higher Life Forms, but this organization is currently in disarray.
There are also two old foxes, Gustav and Anatoly. It is very difficult to integrate those bastards and fight against the three major civilizations, but there is still hope.
The best strategy is to become an X-level life form and destroy everything.
This is only limited by time and genetic seeds. It is not a big problem, but it is not a small one either.
Don’t take the worst strategy. Combine the middle and best strategies, and use the middle strategy as the best strategy to delay time.
Li Ming wrote and drew on the virtual projection, circles and tree branches. "Once the news of Klonoa's death gets out, the situation should be much easier. It would be best if we could integrate the matter of the corpse into it and go with the flow. That would be the best strategy."
The prototype of this idea was naturally not created overnight, but was optimized through his constant thinking.
Thinking of this, he added a few more screening information to the navigator.
This matter needs to wait for the result, but his eyes keep falling on another matter.
"Holy Castle..."
Li Ming couldn't help but think that although he could communicate remotely with the Holy Castle through a camouflaged body and descend into it.
However, he himself did not know the true coordinates of the Holy Castle, which was a bit embarrassing.
Under the current circumstances, if he does not know the coordinates of the Holy Castle, there may be uncertain consequences in the future.
Maybe there is a plan to encircle him from behind, and the connection between him and the Holy Castle is not impossible to cut off.
"I must find a way to get the coordinates..." Li Ming pondered and had already opened the smart terminal.
As for where to get it, he already had a goal in mind.
Soon, he found the person he wanted to contact - Abel.
The other party had contacted him a few days ago, which was consistent with Abel's usual style. Every time something big happened regarding Qinglong, he wanted to get the inside information as soon as possible.
But at that time, Li Ming was busy with many things and ignored him for the time being. He only had time to respond today.
The communication link was not connected immediately, but Li Ming didn't care. He put it aside and prepared to develop the gene seeds.
As a result, within two or three minutes, Abel responded, but the audio connection was broken and the white sound wave line was vibrating continuously.
"Li Ming?" He suppressed his voice.
"Your Highness, it seems that it's not convenient for you?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows. "Then let's contact each other later."
"No..." Abel responded quickly, "I'm in a meeting."
"A meeting?" Li Ming had a hunch, "Could it be related to my teacher?"
Abel was silent for a while before responding, "Yes, I'm cross-checking your teacher's presence."
Li Ming also remained silent, feeling the atmosphere was awkward for some reason, but he quickly adjusted himself and asked, "Did you gain anything?"
"Not yet." Abel said perfunctorily for a few seconds before cautiously asking, "Are you Talos?"
"Oh?" Li Ming was quite surprised. "Your Highness's status has risen so much that he even knows about this kind of thing."
Abel was silent for a moment, then asked, "Klonoa is dead. Did you and your teacher do it together?"
Li Ming smiled and said, "Your Highness is dishonest. Are you trying to get information for free?"
Abel then added, "The three major civilizations have just held a summit meeting and are currently in contact."
Exchange one piece of information that can be inferred for another piece of information that can be inferred.
Li Ming thought for a moment and replied, "You can say that."
"In other words, your teacher really does possess some ability to enter and exit the Holy Castle at will, and not through normal channels." Abel speculated openly.
"Is your teacher a genetically evolved being? Has he evolved to his limit?" Abel pressed on. "How did he find the Holy Castle?"
The cooperation between the three major civilizations naturally cannot be achieved simply by the leaders clapping their hands.
Intelligence, military, logistics and other related personnel must be contacted and various temporary departments must be established.
Every piece of information he now obtains can be used as a contribution in the operation. No one is more advantaged than him to be able to trade directly with Li Ming.
The two had conducted intelligence transactions many times and had a basic level of trust.
"Hmm..." Li pondered. Facing this barrage of questions, he did not respond. Instead, he asked, "Actually, I also have some information I'd like to clarify."
"Tell me about it." Abel's voice was much more excited. He was not afraid of Li Ming having any needs. The more needs the better.
"I want the coordinates of the Holy Castle." Li Ming said lightly.
"Um?"
Abel's voice suddenly became much higher, sounding confused and uncertain. "The coordinates of the Holy Fortress? Your teacher doesn't know the coordinates of the Holy Fortress? He didn't find the Holy Fortress, but only used special means to descend?"
This one sentence allowed Abel to infer a lot of information, but Li Ming was not surprised. Since he was asked, he was prepared for this.
Abel was cheered up. This was important intelligence information.
He hesitated for a moment, then offered his price: "I want all the remaining lists you have."
"Everyone?" Li Ming sneered. "Your Highness's appetite is a bit too big. The coordinates of the Holy Castle are no longer a secret. Someone within the three major civilizations must know it. Even if I look for others, it will only take a little longer."
"Your Highness, you are becoming more and more cunning and your demands are exorbitant."
Abel seemed unconcerned with Li Ming's teasing. "Although the coordinates of the Holy Castle are known among the top leaders of the three major civilizations and are no secret, it's not that easy to bring it down."
"How about this, I want the remaining half of what you have."
"Half..." Li Ming pondered, "By asking this question, you've already gotten some important information for free. If I only got half, it's still too expensive."
Adam's eyes flickered. The joint action of the three major civilizations was a good opportunity to gain merit. He and Li Ming would have more information to exchange next.
Thinking of this, he took a step back and said, "Well, I'll give you another message."
"The three major civilizations have begun to blockade your teacher. Are they preparing gene seeds for you in Sheffield?"
A gleam of light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and this group of people finally set their sights on Sheffield.
Abel added, "A copy of X-level gene seed wouldn't have been a big deal in the past, but the situation is special now. Anything connected to Azure Dragon will be magnified."
Li Ming thought for a moment and then sent over a series of lists.
Adam was also very decisive and immediately sent the coordinates of the Holy Castle.
Both parties were satisfied. Abel couldn't help but sigh and even began to comfort him.
"You don't have to worry. Even though the three great civilizations have united to deal with your teacher, if you are willing to join the Empire, I promise you will be treated very well, no less than being a student of Qinglong."
"Your Highness has been very successful recently. I will keep it in mind." Li Ming said meaningfully.
"It's not empty talk." Abel's heart was slightly shaken, and he quickly assured that if Li Ming was really willing to join his team, he would not mind paying a high price.
After a brief greeting, the two ended their communication. Li Ming transferred the coordinates sent by Abel into the star map. As the star map expanded and moved, it gradually settled on a remote area.
"So remote?" Li Ming muttered. This place is far away from the civilized territory, and it is at least half a year away from the nearest star gate jump point.
However, the three major civilizations will definitely build new star gates nearby to facilitate travel.
"But it will probably take several months or even half a year for the Star Alliance and the Federation to be in place for the first time." Li Ming estimated.
The Federation and the Covenant are not reckless and are unlikely to take action against him before ensuring that they see the Holy Citadel.
"This period of time is probably enough."
This is the advantage of the vast interstellar space. No matter what you do, it takes a lot of time to prepare.
"However, regarding Sheffield..." Li Ming thought of what Abel said, and his face darkened.
…
On the top floor of the Night Moon Biological Laboratory, Sheffield sat behind his desk, laughing heartily. "...Sir Caron, you must be joking. How could I dare to go against the three great civilizations?"
"Since you don't dare, why are you unwilling to hand over Azure Dragon to you the Star Beast's corpse?"
On the screen, the life form named Kalon had an indifferent expression, bluish-white skin, and fish scales crisscrossed between his cheeks.
"Sigh..." Sheffield sighed, "I understand the current situation, but please put yourself in my shoes. Yeyue Company has always been a neutral organization. We just want to do business. Qinglong has already paid the deposit."
"I can push him, but I can't give his things to you. Otherwise, how can I have any credibility? Isn't this going to cost me my life?"
"Neutral?" Caron sneered. "There's no such thing as neutrality, Sheffield. You have to think it over carefully."
"How about this..." Sheffield mused, "How about I ask Chairman Gustavo and see what they say?"
"Heh..." Caron sneered, "If that's the case, then I won't force you. But I hope you can really turn down Qinglong's order."
"Of course, of course." Sheffield promised repeatedly. After the screen went out, the smile on his face gradually stiffened and then became expressionless.
"Father..." Monica, standing to one side, raised her head with a hint of inquiry, "Are you really going to turn down Lord Qinglong's order?"
"That's unnecessary." Sheffield shook his head indifferently. "It's just an X-level gene seed. It's not that important in the eyes of the three major civilizations. This is just one part of the all-around blockade of Azure Dragon."
"I guess all people or organizations that have had contact with Qinglong in the past will be warned not to take it too seriously."
Monica was increasingly puzzled. "If that's the case, isn't it too risky to continue preparing gene seeds for His Excellency Qinglong?"
"Risk?" Sheffield glanced at her daughter. "You see the risk, but can't you see the opportunity?"
"Opportunity?" Monica hesitated. "Are you saying that His Excellency Qinglong has the potential to defeat the three great civilizations?"
She wasn't sure if this was the opportunity her father was talking about.
If that's the case, then her father is a bit too optimistic.
Sheffield said calmly, "Of course it's difficult for Qinglong to do it alone, but... he is also the vice-chairman of the Divine Craftsman and Higher Life Forms United Organization."
"But..." Monica still didn't understand. "The Higher Life Forms United Organization is just a mess. As for the other two Master Craftsmen, they probably won't support Azure Dragon head-on."
"Also, I heard that quite a few X-class life forms have cut off their channels of cooperation with the Mechanical Royal Court."
Sheffield remained noncommittal. "Your news is a step behind. Now there's the latest news. An old friend of mine in the dimensional world told me a few days ago that Chronoa, the forbidden life form that was frightened and fled by the Azure Dragon, died not long ago..."
The forbidden life form...is dead?
Monica was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath. No wonder her father was unwilling to completely cut ties with her.
Sheffield's eyes were dim. "Qinglong is gradually showing his abilities. Those who cut ties with him prematurely are a bunch of idiots. Just wait and see..."
Having said that, Sheffield glanced at the smart terminal on the table again, his expression slightly changed, "Qinglong is coming."
He didn't answer the call immediately, but just looked at Monica. The black swan nodded and left the room.
Then, Sheffield answered the call, and blue light intertwined, and the virtual projection of Qinglong appeared in the room.
