The heart of the Eastern Cross, the Frozen Fortress.

Stomp ......

In an empty, dim, dark, elusive, gloomy passage, the sound of footsteps echoed, and a majestic figure emitting a golden shimmer walked alone in the passage, illuminating the blue-gray stone walls.

It was the second king of the Eastern Cross, Ivanov.

The passage was dark and long, as if it was deep underground, and Ivanov walked alone for hundreds of meters in the passage, and his vision suddenly opened up, and he had come to an empty palace like a palace.

The light in the main hall was dim, and there were several people hugging the huge stone pillars that supported this space, and a twisted monster statue on the stone pillar had a hideous face, teeth and claws, as if trapped on the stone pillar of hell and demons, bringing a different kind of horror to this empty and gloomy hall.

"Ivanov, you're here. ”

In the deepest part of the hall, in the thick darkness where the light seemed impenetrable, suddenly came an ethereal hoarse voice that seemed to come from a world outside:

"I've heard about what you've been doing in the past few days, and you're a little anxious......"

"Konstantin, it seems like you haven't asked about the development of the Eastern Cross for two or three years. ”

Ivanov stood in the dark, his whole body, even his hair was exuding a terrifying golden light, he stared at the depths of the hall with an expressionless face, and said lightly:

"Anxious? I don't think so. Konstantin, recalling the history before the cataclysm, you should understand what kind of people it was. With their potential and forbearance, if they are left unchecked and allowed to continue to develop, they will inevitably become the greatest obstacle to our Slavic nation's climb to the top of the world in the future, and we may pay an even greater price when the time comes, isn't it?"

The person who is talking to Ivanov at this moment is the most mysterious first powerhouse of the Eastern Cross, the king of fate, Konstantin!

"And ......"

Facing the depths of the hall, Ivanov said indifferently:

"I'm not going to go to war directly with the five theaters right now, I'm just using this opportunity to reduce their living forces to the greatest extent, don't you think I should do that?"

"You didn't have the wrong intentions, and I didn't mean to stop you. ”

In the darkness, the voice belonging to the first day king Konstantin said slowly:

"However, I need you to understand that the decisive factor in determining the dominance of the new world is not which side has the largest population, but ...... Who can use their irresistible wisdom and will to open the fifth-order genetic lock that no one has ever reached in this world at present, and become an unprecedented sage and sage!"

"The one who has the fifth-order sage is the true king of the world, you, understand?"

The words of the King of Fate shook the darkness, but the plain voice brought people a sense of superiority, just like the god of fate made people have the urge to kneel down and bow and worship, and Ivanov's golden eyes looked directly into the depths of the hall, and said coldly:

"Of course I know that. I also know that you, as the strongest of the Twelve Heavenly Kings, are about to touch the limit boundary of the Beyond. But it's a pity, even if you Constantine, can't be sure if the fifth-order gene lock really exists, and even if there is, how long will it take you? Five years, ten years? However, time no longer allows us to let the threat of the five war zones grow, and their development momentum must be curbed before it happens!"

Ivanov's voice fell, and there was a brief silence in the depths of the hall.

"Ivanov, I have to say, you are also right......"

In the middle of the night, a faint sigh came from the depths of the main hall, and the voice of the King of Destiny fluttered:

"Well, I hope that you will control the course of events and not push the whole Slav into the quagmire of war. After all, it's not just the five major war zones, we also need more time to develop, and it's very stupid to damage the vitality now. ”

"Don't worry, I will grasp that boundary, compared to us, the five major theaters are more reluctant to face the war, the war must be stopped, and the dominance is in our hands. In addition......"

Ivanov's voice was deep:

"While balancing the five major theaters, the new European Consortium may be moving when it comes to hearing the wind, and I can't take care of both, I hope you can allocate some more time and energy, sit in our rear, and don't let them take advantage of it. ”

"Let's do it......"

The faint voice of the King of Destiny floated, like an irresistible fate whispering in people's ears:

"With me, no one can bother you in the rear......"

"Good!"

Ivanov nodded succinctly and turned to leave.

......

Time passed, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, the support of the four major theaters of the southeast, west, and central regions was all in place, and a total of four commanders of the four theaters of the four theaters of the transcendent level and 20 military commissars of the level of the boundary of the theater arrived, which made the overall strength of the northern theater skyrocket.

The Northern Theater has entered an unprecedentedly tense state of alert, and most of the military commissars dispatched abroad have received orders to return to the theater, and now in terms of the high-end combat power of the new human race, the number of fourth-order transcendents in the theater has reached eight, and the number of third-order boundary people has exceeded fifty!

Of course, even with such a lineup, in the face of such a behemoth as the Eastern Cross, the Northern Theater does not have any significant advantages, but up and down, regardless of the level of authority, people are ready.

It was early in the morning of the last day when the deadline was approaching.

The entire northern theater was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere in which all the people were soldiers, as if they were facing a great enemy, and in his own cultivation room, Chen Chong slowly opened his eyes.

On his knees, the vibranium shield exuded a dark golden metallic luster, and the surface of Chen Chong's bare skin shone with the same color.

Of course, this kind of performance was just a slight anomaly that Chen Chong had just stopped absorbing vibranium metal molecules, and in fact, in less than half a month, the [Zhenji Golden Body] naturally couldn't have any effect, and he didn't even enter the door.

"It's the last day......"

Chen Chong stood up slowly, and his tower-like body emitted a series of crisp firecrackers. Whether it is a pretext or some other reason, the current relationship between the Northern Theater and the Eastern Cross has deteriorated to the extreme, and it is impossible to hand over Chu Tianjun, with the Eastern Cross Star's consistent strong and domineering, thunder revenge will come soon.

As the mastermind behind this conflict, Chen Chong, who replaced the identity of the Thunder King, could not be left alone, and soon participated in the confrontation between the two sides.

Thinking of this, Chen Chong packed his bags, dressed neatly, summoned Wu Qingquan, and drove to the Military Committee.

During this period of time, the high-level personnel have held regular defense meetings every morning, mainly to report on the situation of large and small gathering places around the northern theater of operations, and to adjust the deployment at any time.

Even if it is the strong and domineering of the Eastern Cross, its retaliation is unlikely to come directly to the Northern Theater, and it is very likely that it will first challenge the large and small gatherings around the area, so the gathering places in the northwest of the Northern Theater are at risk of being attacked.

Ten minutes later, the military vehicle stopped at the parking lot in the square, and Chen Chong got out of the car and entered the building and came to the conference hall.

At this moment, in the conference hall, there are already many high-level seats, including many high-end combat forces from the other four major theaters who came to support, and high-level officials from the region have arrived one after another.

As for the commander-level figures, there were only two present, one was Deng Tongfang from the headquarters of the Northern Theater, and the other was Hu Zheng, who was from the Central Theater and had personally received Chen Chong and others.

Hu Zheng in the Central Theater, Zuo Chengkong in the Southern Theater, Leng Yu in the Eastern Theater, and Wen Zhaolong in the Western Theater, after contacting the commanders who came to support the rest of the theaters, Chen Chong vaguely felt that Hu Zheng's strength seemed to be the strongest, and Deng Tongfang was basically a level surpasser.

If it is divided according to the level that Chen Chong knows, Deng Tongfang and Hu Zheng are undoubtedly the real fourth-order transcendents, and the transcendents who came to support the three major theaters of the east, west and south may be the fourth-order mimics.

Chen Chong's observation did not last long, and soon in addition to the high-level officials who had been sent out to garrison, more than 20 military commissars who were on standby were all present, and in a huge conference hall, every high-level member had a cold expression, and there was almost no private discussion, and in the calm atmosphere, a depressing feeling of a mountain rain coming and a wind all over the building fell heavily on everyone's hearts.

Until now, Chu Tianjun still has no trace, which also means that after today, the Northern Theater will completely tear off the skin with the Eastern Cross.

Deng Tongfang knocked lightly on the table: "Chief of Staff Shen, you can explain the situation." ”

"Yes. ”

Shen Quan, who was at the forefront, immediately stood up, walked to the huge map curtain, and spoke:

"So far, we have urgently established seven communication hubs, and with the assistance of signal boosters, the farthest radio wave communication distance has exceeded 300 kilometers, basically covering the three large gathering places of Chifeng, Xing'an, and Yinhuan between the war zone and Baiyu Township, the former station of the Eastern Cross, as well as the remaining large and small gathering places with a total of 13 small and medium-sized gathering places.

Our high-end combat forces are already in place, and in the event of any special circumstances, the Northern Theater can learn of the situation within ten minutes and send nearby combatants to reinforce it. In addition......"

The Silver Ring Refuge Zone?

Shen Quan was talking in detail about the situation of the defense, but Chen Chong's eyes couldn't help but move, and then he thought that the Silver Ring Refuge Area where Xing Zhan and the others were located seemed to be in the northeast between the Northern War Zone and the White Feather Township occupied by the Eastern Cross.

Chen Chong has some friendship with the Silver Ring Refuge Area, and he can't help but pay more attention to it, but there are many survivors in this area, and no one knows how the Eastern Cross will retaliate, and the Northern Theater has already sent high-end combat forces to garrison in advance, and it is useless for Chen Chong to worry about it or not.

"Report!

At this time, just as Chen Chong's mind was turning, and Shen Quan was telling in detail about the situation of the defense, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, Shen Quan frowned, the door was opened by others, and a soldier hurriedly trotted in, and said solemnly after saluting:

"Commander, the Eastern Cross helicopter is hovering outside the airspace, and the communication claims that he is the negotiator sent by the King the next day, Victor!"

Negotiators?

On the main seat, Deng Tongfang's eyes froze, Huo Ran got up, and waved his hand:

"Let them in! Besides, immediately go and inform Commander Luo Zhenguo to see what tricks they want to play!"
