Chapter 283: Red Eyes When Laughing
"Alliance?"
Liu Zhi repeated these two words in a low voice, after Weipan and Bi Bo Huang went and returned, they not only agreed to the quid pro quo, but also took the initiative to ask for an alliance, which was a bit unexpected to him, because in addition to the deterrence of force, he did not show anything worthy of the trust of Radiant City, maybe the "Thousand Souls Pure Body Sutra" can barely be counted, but this alone believes in his character, and believes that what he said before is all true, but it is too child's play, because once the alliance is formed, his own side will definitely dominate, Radiant City can only exist in the form of vassals!
Obviously, this was not a normal choice, so what was the reason that drove Radiant City to make this almost desperate decision?
Is it the desire to get out of the abyss and recreate the glory of the brilliant civilization of 10,000 years ago? Or do you not want to sit idly by and prepare for the race war that will come in two and a half years?
Liu Zhi didn't dwell too much on this question, in fact, he was not keen on the real answer, and the help that Radiant City could bring after the alliance was the most practical thing. Needless to say, rune technology, whether it is an alliance or not, this is what he must get, in addition, the most valuable thing in Radiant City is undoubtedly the population of 900,000, which has more than 100,000 standing troops, scientific research talents in all aspects, and more than 23,000 God Realm powerhouses.
But these people will definitely not be able to bring them to the outside world in a short period of time, and the difficulty coefficient is too high, because even if the red people are solved, there are still countless dangers waiting for them in the future, and a little accident may cause immeasurable losses!
Then, they can only be left here, the abundance of Wai Yuan's cultivation resources is not comparable to the outside world, if they can create a suitable development environment, after two and a half years, they may not be able to become a force that will influence the battle situation!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhi's eyes lit up suddenly, he turned his head to look at Shu Yue beside him, and then frowned again, in just a few seconds, three emotions appeared on his face: surprise, thought, and hesitation, and finally they were replaced by firmness.
Turning his gaze to Weipan and Bi Bo Huang, Liu Zhiwen smiled gently: "I must admit that you gave me the answer I wanted the most, but there is one thing I still have to remind you that after the signing of the covenant, although we are allies, we still have priority and subordination, Radiant City can only exist as our subordinate forces, whether it is the direction of development or military action, it must focus on our grand strategic goals, of course, the two of you can rest assured, except for the official position, the two sides are equal in other aspects, I can guarantee this, After all, what I need is not a slave, but a partner who can trust each other and fight side by side! ”
Wei Pan and Fu Bo Huang glanced at each other, and both nodded slightly, the conditions given by Liu Zhi were already expected by them, and they were also within the scope of bearing, and they didn't need to go through the vote of the senators, and the two of them could make a decision immediately.
"This is as it should be, Leader Liu, Radiant City is honored to be a subordinate force of the Human Alliance!" Weipan bowed down and offered sincere respect, and the rebellious Huang on the side hesitated slightly, and finally followed suit.
"No, Mr. Weipan, it's not the Human Alliance, it's the Earth Federation." Liu Zhi corrected.
"Does it make a difference?" Weipan was puzzled.
"It's very simple, at present, not all human forces are allies of Radiant City, and some do not belong to our Earth Federation, but this is only temporary, at most two years, most of the human beings who have crossed over here will be under the control of the Federation, and the entire Canglun Ancient Ruins will form a solid whole!" Liu Zhi replied confidently.
"Two years? Before the Wall of the Sky Shattered? Weipan asked.
"That's right!" Liu replied straight.
"Then the old man will wait and see!" Wei Pan smiled and cast his eyes over, "Now, let's talk about the details of the alliance, the city has prepared delicious food and wine, if Leader Liu doesn't mind, why don't you go into the city with the old man to talk in detail?" ”
"No need, let's just do it here, my demon beast army is too numerous and large, I'm afraid it's not convenient to enter the city." Liu Zhi refused, he knew that the other party would definitely not let the demon beast army enter the city, and he obviously would not take risks alone, in case the other party had bad intentions, no matter how great the deterrence outside the city was, it might not necessarily guarantee his safety.
"That's fine, then ask Leader Liu to choose a quieter place, these details must be implemented one by one, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time." There was no reluctance.
Liu Zhi also knew that this matter was not in a hurry, jumped off the head of the golden light tiger, and led the two into the beast group, under Shu Yue's signal, the eight thousand demon beasts quickly dispersed the surrounding vigilance, only five thirteen-level demon beasts remained beside them, either lying down or pretending to sleep, all of them looked well-behaved and quiet.
The two of them were not afraid, and after stopping, they asked Liu Zhi's opinion, and asked the city to send tables, chairs, paper and pens, and a clerk who was in charge of recording.
During the entire negotiation process, basically only Liu Zhi and Weipan spoke out, and others rarely interjected, however, although the Radiant City side put on a posture of bowing down to orders, they still did not give an inch to the rights and guarantees that should be fought for, just like the price of buying high-end materials from Liu Zhi, as well as the price of helping the Demon Beast Legion build an arm, all of which were required to be maintained within a reasonable range, and Liu Zhi didn't care too much, after all, for him, this can be called a transaction without capital, and it doesn't matter if you let a little profit.
The negotiation lasted for more than four hours, and by the time the last detail was finalized, the light in the crack in the sky had completely disappeared, and under the witness of the six elders and many high-level leaders of Radiant City, Liu Zhi and Weipan formally signed an alliance in the group of demon beasts, and from then on, they advanced and retreated together, sharing honor and disgrace.
After the covenant was signed, Liu Zhiwan refused the invitation of Weipan to celebrate, and retreated directly into the dark forest with the Demon Beast Legion, but he did not go far, because it would take about three to four days for Radiant City to summarize and sort out the entire set of rune techniques, during which time, the Demon Beast Legion would assist the Radiant City army to jointly resist the Red Invasion.
And once the rune technology is in hand, it means that the war against the Red People will officially start!
The efficiency of Radiant City is very fast, on the afternoon of the third day, Weipan visited again and passed the entire set of rune technology to Liu Zhi, fortunately, Liu Zhi's current spiritual power is in his early two hundreds, whether it is received or digested, it does not take too much time, after confirming that the rune technology is true, he immediately told Weipan that early tomorrow morning, he will lead the demon beast army to attack the Red People, and the army of Radiant City must assist in the rear and flanks!
Weipan was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to go back to the city to prepare to go, for thousands of years, they have been bullied by the red people on the ground, for such a battle to turn over, it is really a long time to look forward to it!
It was night, Liu Zhi did not cultivate, nor did he carry out any pre-war mobilization, he quietly came to Shu Yue's side, the girl who was sitting quietly heard the sound, opened her eyes and looked over, she was still wearing a helmet, her terrifying face was huge and half-covered under the helmet, which seemed to make her feel more at ease, and made eye contact with the man, seeing that he did not mean to speak first, she couldn't help but smile: "Chief, is there something?" ”
Liu Zhi hesitated for a moment, his face couldn't bear to flash away, and finally said in a low voice: "Shu Yue, I need you to do me a favor." ”
"Huh?" Shu Yue sighed lightly, and then smiled: "If we still say anything between us that can't help, you just say it, and I will do it." ”
Liu Zhi glanced at the girl deeply, his eyes fell into the darkness in the distance, and said slowly: "The group of demon spirits at the exit of the abyss, I have already thought of a way to solve it, but I am not sure for the time being, whether this method will work, but if it can really be ......" He turned his head to look at the girl: "I hope you can stay here and expand the scale of the demon beast army as much as possible, in this abyss, your ability can be better played, and your cultivation efficiency can be guaranteed, and as long as you can hold the exit of the abyss, Not only can we establish a connection with Radiant City, but a large number of high-grade materials are also possible to be shipped out. Shu Yue, we have only been around for more than two years, and once the wall of the sky dissipates, no one knows what awaits us, so ......"
"Chief, you don't have to say any more."
Shu Yue interrupted Liu Zhi softly, her hoarse and piercing voice, with obvious loss and struggle, but in the end it was still replaced by firmness, this matter may not be enough for others, but for her, it is the most difficult and painful decision in her life, how much she wants to be able to stay by Liu Zhi's side all the time, watch him eat, watch him handle government affairs, watch him give orders, and even watch him fall in love, as long as she can accompany him, no matter what her status, she is willing, but at the same time she knows very well in her heart, Since Liu Zhi has put the fate of all mankind on his shoulders, there are some things that must be trade-offs.
That's how to truly love him!
"I understand it, I do...... Remain. Shu Yue tried to keep her head held high, trying not to let her gloomy emotions come out, but unfortunately, she forgot that she was wearing a helmet.
So, what Liu Zhi saw was a pair of red eyes when he smiled.
