Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

The Evening Star family has failed, completely, completely lost this opportunity. However, the hairy boy on the other side is ambitious to fight for this position. Normally, he would have liked to see it—not because he had a particularly bad personality, but because of human nature. Human beings in different worlds have this nature of gloating and watching others unlucky, but the degree is just different.

But this time, he decided to play the role of an older man who is willing to give guidance to his juniors. Not for anything else, for Aqi, who is by Lu Wu's side. If the Floating Fortress is destroyed, the chances of Aki surviving it are infinitely close to zero. He was beginning to regret this layout a little.

"However, this is very dangerous. You have to understand that using a floating fortress to eliminate a small number of enemy ground troops does not hurt the big picture, and it does not make any sense except to increase the consumption rate of your power furnace. But if you want to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy...... I promise that's hard to do. ”

Ground forces will not deal with floating fortresses in an open and unsheltered environment. The previous Grumas situation was entirely accidental. Normally, if there are such troops, then they must have the cover of floating fortresses above their heads. Or they can believe that the skies in this area are already under their control.

The Moon camp has built strong fortifications. Even for Kecha Goat, it is a hard walnut that cannot be easily swallowed in one bite, and there is a danger of tooth breakage if you are not careful. Although theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough time, a floating fortress (even if it is a second-hand item like Lu Wu) can slowly, piece by piece, gnaw the "hard bones". However, theory is theory after all, how can it be in fact? It is only natural that the attacked Stygian Army will summon reinforcements from its own floating fortress. This means that even if there is only one floating fortress over there now, there will definitely be more reinforcements at that time. And Lu Wu didn't have reinforcements at all.

"Moreover, although there may be no reinforcement plans for the Stygian Moon right now, and there may indeed be only one floating fortress over there, but that is based on the premise that it has not been hit. Once attacked, it's hard to predict what happens. He described the risks and difficulties in as simple language as possible. There are so many unpredictable factors that the success rate of this project is infinitely close to zero. And when your life and victory and defeat are actually tied together, it is a little too impulsive to gamble and take a risk like this. "And even if you don't think about all of this, Lu Wu, do you think you have won a Floating Fortress duel in a one-on-one situation?"

"Nope. Lu Wu admitted it very decisively.

"So, give up. ”

"General A-Yuan, I want to make a deal with you. Lu Wu didn't seem to hear him at all, but immediately moved on to the next question. "Do you want to get the position of Governor of the Banshee Gate?"

"Of course. He replied without hesitation. I dreamed of it. This is the only hope that the Evening Star family will survive the harsh and brutal elimination of the moment of balance. Although now that hope has been largely dashed.

"If I become a governor, I will give up the inheritance of the next governor to the Wanxing family......" Lu Wu said. "What price are you willing to pay?"

"What did you say?"

"I mean, after I became the governor, my next appointment was naturally appointed by me, right?" Lu Wu in the projection looked quite calm, as if he didn't realize what a ridiculous thing he was saying. "Although many people will designate members of their own family or simply their own children...... But I'm willing to give this place to the Evening Star family. ”

"It's impossible. He finally figured it out. "Are you trying to force this title on the High Star, but unfortunately, the title of Governor with no actual control over the region, no army, no land, and no people is worthless. If anyone questions it, it will be canceled immediately. ”

"What do you mean...... My enemies question it, but what if I don't have an enemy?"

"It's not just an enemy, anyone can be. Even if you have no grudge against you, but just feel that you should follow tradition. He accentuated his tone. "Maybe you feel that the Most High Star owes you a favor that allows her to exert her influence and send you an army to help you control the entire Banshee Gate? Because," he sighed. "Our relationship of trust with Kecha Goat is very fragile, and in this case, it is impossible for Kazuki to increase his troops towards the Banshee's Gate! not even the Most High Star! If you say that you can wait until the future, the relationship between the two sides is stable...... I feel like this is an opportunity that will take a long time to get. And the life span of the Most High Star will not be very long. He smiled. "Of course it's still an opportunity for you, but it won't necessarily work out. However, this kind of non-100% possibility is used to make a transaction, and it seems to be suspected of fraud. ”

He made all the possibilities and all the logic clear. Now it should almost be able to completely dispel this idea for Lu Wu. Just when he thought that this basin of cold water could make the other party's brain clearer, he unexpectedly made a strange gesture with the other party's hands.

"General, I don't plan to rely on the consuls," Lu Wu said. "What if I could expel the forces of the Stygian Moon. ”

"With your Floating Fortress, Your Excellency Lu Wu, I want to remind you that it is only a defective product after all. Of course, the term "defective" is inappropriate. Lu Wu's Floating Fortress is completely usable, and all systems can operate normally, even if it is discounted, its combat power is only inferior to that of the new one. However, he wanted to use this title to remind the other party that the possibility was too low. And most importantly, it could jeopardize Aqi's safety.

"There is no need to fight. Lu Wu said. "Maybe Stygian Moon is planning to retreat. ”

"Stygian Moon may have that in mind, but," he said in a reinforced tone. "They will never retreat completely. It makes sense to occupy a position here to be monitored. And even if they did make a judgment about the retreat of the whole army for some reason, I guarantee that it would have been a very long and slow process. It is impossible to retreat quickly in the face of a superior enemy, unless you want to die. ”

"What if I could make a deal with Stygian? I mean...... I was able to convince them to evacuate. Are you interested?"

His eyes widened, and he hesitated. "What do you want to trade?" he asked. It was the first time he had spoken in this tone since the call began. Before that, he didn't even bother to understand what the content of the transaction was, because the probability of this matter was too low logically, and Lu Wu was not qualified to negotiate a deal with him at all. Placing a bet is one thing, but only if you see enough odds to win. Throwing money in the water is another matter entirely.

"Are you interested?"

"Not yet, but now I have. Tell me, what can you offer?"

"I have already said what I can offer. ”

"If that's your condition," he said. "Then what I offer will not give you any substantial help right now. At most, it can only give you connections and channels and other things. He spread his hands. "You are trading without capital, and I can only give you a transaction without capital. Of course, in my opinion, my side is still at a loss. ”

"Hehe......" Without waiting for Lu Wu to answer, he laughed. Of course, Lu Wu couldn't agree. This kind of trading condition can indeed be said to be equivalent exchange, but this matter itself does not need Lu Wu to come over and find him in private so directly. "Say what you really think. ”

……

"This is ......," Red-clothed looked at the device in front of him. It's an electronic device that looks a little old and doesn't take good care of. The device resembles a pillar, but it's so thick that two people can't hold it together. But it's full of a dizzying array of indicators, and some dashboards and stuff.

"A product of the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance. Ivan looked at the machine in front of him with interest. The energy has been initially switched on, and the abundant energy from the Floating Fortress Power Furnace is fed into the machine, activating the sleeping machine. Obviously, the machine is currently self-testing – a capability that most electronic machines have. "It's rough, but it works. ”

Redcoat didn't ask how this thing came about. After all, the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance has always existed, and its potential power is quite large. There are also a variety of means of communication between them. And this conversion device is one of their products. Everyone knows that although both camps have become popular, the dissemination of relevant information can only take place within the camps. The terminals of the Stygian Moon faction cannot communicate with the terminals of the Radiant Moon faction - of course, this is also very normal - no matter how advanced or sophisticated. Because although the general technical principle is the same, the software and hardware are still different in terms of details.

However, the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance has come up with a way to allow the two sides to communicate. It is precisely by virtue of this method that they are able to be active on the border, quickly gather intelligence between the two camps and act in a timely manner, and gain the ability to avoid danger. Of course, this is not to say that the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance is highly technological, but simply because Radiant Moon and Stygian Moon don't have the need for this (of course, they may have such equipment, but it must be classified equipment for spies).

"It's not going to drop the chain at a critical moment, is it? It looks older than me. Aqi on the side asked. This matter is different from other things, as the Ombudsman, Ah Qi must be present at the whole time. This proves that this is a negotiation that has not crossed the line, and not a betrayal.

"It's very old, but it's healthy. Ivan watched the hard work of several technicians as he watched the flashing lights. "Don't worry, there won't be a problem. ”

"Your Excellency Lu Wu has gone to the base camp, which of us is more suitable?" Hongyi suddenly asked.

"This ......" Ivan glanced at Aki, but Aki shook his head silently but firmly. He turned his head again to look at Red, who used a clear body language to indicate that he was not suitable. There is also a hilarious one on the side, but he is not suitable to participate in this matter. "Seems like the best candidate for me?"

No one answered, and the matter was tacitly settled. After the instrument self-test is completed, it begins to transfer to normal operation.

"Don't worry," Ivan looked at a few of his colleagues. "It's just a voice conversation, there's no need to be nervous. ”
