Chapter 1174: Choice
The man is trapped, and he does not have the extra strength to destroy the dimensional space, because this kind of rule completely ignores the attacks of other rules, and only the law can break it. However, his law was completely restrained by Nina, and the result can be imagined - he was shocked to find that the easy way to run away in his imagination turned out to be an extravagant hope!
Hou Qing came with a large group of people to kill, with the addition of these hundreds of masters, even though everyone was affected by the law and the attack speed was sharply reduced, but after all, the number was placed there, so many people attacked together, and there was a Nina with the same strength as him, so could he bear it?
"Die!" Eller drank excitedly.
In the past, he was Prince Alderru's favorite and most cultivated son, even if he was just a concubine.
Even his noble-born brothers, because of Prince Alderru, could not do anything to him.
But!
At that time, after all, he was only a second ancestor, even if he was not as arrogant and domineering as other brothers, but the life he lived was still the life of the second ancestor: he had nothing to do all day long, and he was treated with the highest treatment wherever he wentβthat kind of life was absolutely enjoyable for three or five months, and he was still very happy after three or five years, but after a long time, he would feel bored.
It's different now.
He joined the 51st formation, and he began a completely different life than before, and the identity of the prince is meaningless, because no one cares who you are in front of the enemy.
This kind of life is full of unprecedented dangers, and his life may be in danger at any time, but this life makes him happy.
There is a sense of value.
There is a sense of presence.
The most important thing is that it still gives him a sense of pride: the crisis can make him progress, the victory will make him proud, and what he is doing now is something he couldn't think of before - he is killing the strong man of the Tianwu Seven Heavens, this kind of life full of danger, blood, and glory is the life that a man should live!
The previous glory came from the father who held great power in his position, but this glory obtained through battle was obtained by his own hands, and had nothing to do with anyone else.
"Surrender, or death?" Qin Yan's voice echoed in the void.
"Little cub!"
The man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you think the threat of death can make me surrender to you?" You're not worthy! β
As a Heavenly Martial Sevenfold Heavenly Powerhouse, as a pivotal figure in the Empire, he has a pride that is far above life, how can he give in to the enemy? If he had to make a choice between death and submission, he would not hesitate to choose to die on the battlefield!
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Qin Yan motioned for everyone to slow down their attacks, only maintaining the level of suppressing the other party, but did not directly kill him.
"What do you think?"
The man sneered and shouted, "If you are taking the time to persuade you to surrender, I suggest you give up that stupid idea, because it is simply impossible." β
"In fact, you are afraid of death, and I am also afraid, I believe that there are few people who are not afraid of death, but everyone has a scale in their hearts to measure the importance between honor and death. For some people, they can give up anything in order to survive, including honor, dignity, and even family and friends. Qin Yan smiled.
"At least I'm not that kind of person, so you don't have to bother in vain!"
"I know, you can't be that kind of person."
Qin Yan laughed and said, "Even, I believe that even if your relatives are taken hostage by me, it is impossible for you to give in to me. β
"That's right! Imperial interests are more important than anything else! Don't want me to betray the Empire! β
"But have you ever thought about what happens to your family if you die?"
Qin Yan suddenly frowned and sighed, "If you don't come from a huge family, your family depends on your status to get to where you are today. Once you die, will your family still be able to enjoy the comfortable life they have now, and will they still have a high status? Of course, it is also possible that you come from a large family, but the big family is even more cruel. But if you die, your wife and children will surely plummet in the family, and they will even be bullied and humiliated by other clansmen......"
The man's face became a little strange, but his will did not waver in the slightest: "Do you think what you said can make me give in for my life?" β
"Of course not! If you betray your country, your family will only be worse. β
"Then don't fart again!"
"I say this for one purpose, not to make you submit, but to make you understand that it is still meaningful to live."
"And then?" The man sneered.
And then ......
Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said, "If you have to make a choice between submission and death, of course you would rather choose death than give in. But if there is no need to give in, there is no need to betray your country, you should value your life, right? β
"Are you trying to say that you're going to let me go unharmed?" The man couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He is not an ignorant child, and with his position today, how can he believe such a joke if he has experienced many winds and waves?
"Killing you is not necessary for me."
Qin Yan smiled indifferently and said, "Competing for resources in the undeveloped universe is a common thing, and even if there is a loss, it will not shake the foundation of an empire. So, even if I kill you, it won't do any real good to my empire, will it? All you and I want is profit, for the benefit of our respective empires, and this benefit is not to kill someone else's people, but to acquire precious resources. β
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The gleam in the man's eyes flickered.
As Qin Yan said, if he had to choose between submission and death, he would certainly choose death rather than surrender and betray his country.
But if you don't have to make this choice, everyone wants to live, and according to the meaning of the other party's words above, it really doesn't have to kill him.
So...... Maybe it's really the best of both worlds?
"Now that you have completely lost, there is no chance to turn over, and the result is the same for me whether I kill you or not, so I want to seek more practical benefits."
Qin Yan looked at him with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The next step is not to give in but to trade, because you have already lost, since you don't say that I can find it, then...... What is there in this galaxy that allows the dignified Heavenly Martial Seven Heavenly Powers to sit in charge in person? β
Ga!
At this moment, not only the man was shocked, but even the people led by Houqing, Nina, and Elle also showed surprised expressions.
Before that, they were so focused on the task and the person that they ignored a very important issue.
Oh, yes......
The Lyra Empire's side is just a small team, and it has discovered that there are valuable resources in this star system, but what has appeared on this man's side is a fleet with a huge number and incredible strength - if there are only ordinary resources here, how can a powerhouse of this level come over?
The reason why Qin Yan said it for so long and wasted so much saliva was that the ultimate goal was not to make the other party submit at all, but to know the truth from his mouth.
He first tried to make the other party surrender, if it worked, it would be the best, if not, he would settle for the second: he talked about how important it was to live, and at the same time told the other party that it was just a deal, let the other party tell him the purpose of coming here, and at the same time let the other party understand that even if he didn't say it, he could still find out, so that the secret he maintained with his life would have no value at all.
The man was silent.
He knew that since the other party had guessed the existence of secrets in this star system from his appearance, if he had the intention to look for it, it was very likely that he would find out.
If he didn't tell the secret, the other party would definitely kill him, and as a result, the other party found the secret again, and his death would be in vain.
But......
Maybe he can't find out the secret?
What's more, the situation of the attack on his side, and the secrets found here, and the precedent of the Empire.
It is certain that the Empire will immediately send more and stronger reinforcements.
So, maybe before the other party found the secret, the Empire's reinforcements had already arrived?
On the other hand, if you tell the other party now, the other party will not need to spend time looking for it, and by the time the imperial reinforcements come, the other party will probably have already left with the treasure.
The man was in a state of hesitation, he could not predict what the future would bring, and of course he could not judge which decision was the right one.
If you don't tell the secret, but the other party finds it in time, then you will die in vain.
If the other party finds the treasure and leaves before the arrival of the imperial reinforcements because of telling the secret, it will be a huge loss for the empire.
If......
It's all just 'ifs' just assumptions.
"How?"
Qin Yan looked at him with a smile and said, "This is a deal that will benefit you and do no harm, you don't need to give in, you don't need to betray." All I can find is that it takes a little more time, and the result is no different, but for you you can live. β
"Is that all? You are well aware that this is not the case! The man burst out laughing.
"Really?"
"I won't let you succeed, die that heart."
As soon as the words fell, the man's body swelled suddenly, and was torn apart by the powerful power of space, leaving not even flesh and blood, and directly disappeared.
Qin Yan never expected this kind of result, but he didn't expect that the other party would still choose to end his life to defend the secret in this situation.
"What is it that makes him rather die than say?" Hou Qing's face was full of surprise.
"It must be a very important secret!" Ove said in a deep voice.
"Do you still have to say that?" Someone rolled their eyes.
"Alright, stop arguing."
Qin Yan waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "The only thing that is certain now is that the country where the other party is located already knows about the attack on them and knows the so-called secrets. Then, this civilization is a seventh-level civilization, and the closest seventh-level civilization to here is ......"
Speaking of this, Qin Yan paused, because he didn't know how far the nearest seventh-level civilization was here, but Nina took over: "The nearest seventh-level civilization is the Ipsi Empire, which is about 18 billion light-years away from here, and it will take about 83 days to get here at the fastest speed. β
"Well, we only have 83 days to search this galaxy, and before that time comes, we must leave whether we find it or not!" Qin Yan said in a deep voice.
"Why don't you contact the base?" Eller asked.
"Only the commander of the entire base is the Heavenly Martial Sevenfold Heaven, unless a master is transferred from within the empire. However, all this is just our speculation, and without any evidence, do you think the Empire will send a large number of masters, not far away from tens of billions of light-years here? β
Qin Yan's words made everyone realize how tight the time was, and they couldn't rely on others for this critical task, and the base couldn't help, so they could only rely on themselves......
