Chapter 285: Savior?

The border war between the Overlord Group and the Sunset Group is completely a catastrophe, the news is broadcast on the Internet and TV every moment of the day, and the death and destruction data is made into a detailed body surface, which has been constantly refreshed.

Both sides have crossed the 100,000 mark in casualties, and the vast majority of those killed are civilians. The president of the federal government issued the most severe order three times, asking the two sides to stop the war and return to Eden Island to negotiate.

Diplomats on both sides expressed regret over the war and said they were actively considering the federal government's proposal, but neither had a clear indication of when they would sit down and talk.

Yes, the military strength of the Overlord Group is definitely superior to that of the Sunset Group, but Philip Mark is also very careful in the use of troops, and he is very accustomed to abandoning some unimportant towns and then concentrating superior forces to launch a surprise attack on the supply lines of the Overlord Group.

As a result, the two sides came back and forth, and the two sides almost tied, turning the originally flat border line into a jagged de facto zone of control.

The soldiers on both sides were also red-eyed, either firing at each other in the trenches, or resting in the trenches, ready to pounce on the enemy's positions at any time, and fight with bayonets.

The demigod corps led by Apollo was also involved in the war with the overlord demigod corps led by Ye Wuchang.

Cities where they are fighting often no longer need to send other troops, and they can blow everything to pieces.

Some deferors have pointed out that the war will only need to last another month, and the global economy will be severely affected, more than 4 million people will be displaced, and a quarter of them will die of famine or disease.

The economic level of the Sun Never Sets Group will be regressed by 20 years, and even if it is the Overlord Group, GDP will be seriously affected, which no one wants to see.

But the warring parties are like children who want to save face, and neither of them wants to stop the trigger first, as if they are afraid that they will suffer a loss.

However, what no one expected was that as the actual controller of the Imperial Group at this moment, Executive Director Joe Barton would come forward and take the initiative to invite Mark and Gu Xuan to mediate the war.

Joe Barton used the threat that if either Mark and Gu Xuan did not arrive at the appointed time, Joe Barton would completely terminate its network service on behalf of the Imperial Group.

This is tantamount to turning the ground management city of one of the groups into the era of modern primitives, where all online banking services are closed, and the life of only circulating cash can instantly drag down a large financial city, causing incalculable losses.

Joe Barton used the trick assumed by economists a long time ago, as 80% of the world's network environment service providers, in fact, the Imperial Group is the real invisible superboss who can control the world.

The Imperial Bloc has not been so tough in the past 50 years, almost always repeating the operation of smothering the fortune, evading the responsibility of the world, and never actively getting involved in any kind of dispute.

Qiao Barton's abnormality can be regarded as gaining the corresponding face, not only Mark, but even Gu Xuan ordered the front-line battle to stop, giving a respite to the war that lasted for nearly 1 week.

Joe Barton's invitation was also responded to by both sides, and it was enough to determine the future fate of mankind as the venue for peace talks, and it was chosen on the Empire Bloc aerospace aircraft carrier on the high seas in the Pacific Ocean.

In the sky, 500 meters above the sea, the huge Empire Aerospace Aircraft Carrier was brightly lit, like a lighthouse, beckoning guests from afar.

The Sunset Group plane carrying Mark, and the Overlord plane carrying Gu Xuan landed opposite each other from the decks on both sides of the aircraft carrier almost at the same time.

Mark, who was accompanied by Apollo, dressed in a white robe, slowly stepped off the plane.

Gu Xuan, who was accompanied by Ye Wuchang, walked down from the other side.

The two looked at each other a hundred meters apart, and they both nodded politely, like the most polite gentlemen. Although 200,000 people have died in the wars they have started against each other, there is still the demeanor of a leader.

They all brought their strongest celestial-level demigod retinues, only Joe Barton, the presiding officer of the meeting, sat at the conference table in the middle of the aircraft carrier deck, wearing ripped jeans and a long black trench coat, wearing nothing inside.

Joe Barton, with short white hair and a muscular body exposed, was leaning back in a wooden chair and was sleeping.

He didn't need any Heaven-level demigod retinue, and he didn't even have a single guard around. It is hard to imagine that such a flamboyant man could be the actual ruler of the Imperial Bloc now, and it is hard to imagine...... He is the heaven-level demigod clan who is ranked "One" and is currently at the top of the world in terms of personal combat power.

If it is said that the battle between Ye Wuchang and Apollo will make the ranking change back and forth between two and three every time, but he is standing firmly in the position of one every time, just like when Aaron was firmly in the first place, thunder cannot be moved.

Of course, Joe Barton also has to pay for his ability, which is severe narcolepsy, every day, he spends half of his life in sleep, and once he encounters something he is afraid of, yawning more than 3 times on the spot, he will definitely fall asleep.

He once fell asleep in the middle of the battle, so Barton didn't dare to let him participate in the boring battlefield at all, and it had to be interesting to make him execute to the end.

Gu Xuan and Mark looked at each other and walked to the negotiation table, Ye Wuchang and Apollo pulled out chairs for their masters, and waited for the two sides to sit down.

"Brother Mark hasn't seen you for a long time, you have become the leader of the Sunset Group, which is really gratifying. I wanted to attend the funeral of Prince Philip Sr. in person, but I didn't receive your notice, so I had to burn the offerings myself as a sign of respect. Gu Xuan said with a rather cultured greeting.

"Lord Gu Xuan has a heart, my father's last wish is to be buried in a low-key manner, remember to be extravagant, as long as some friends and relatives are present, Lord Gu Xuan is not a relative, and the second is not a friend, burn some paper money, it is enough." What Mark said was neither humble nor arrogant, and the smell of gunpowder was overflowing.

"Speaking of which, we could have become friends, we have a lot of complementarities in business, for the sake of a Zhang Lan, is it worth it to make this field today?" Gu Xuan sighed helplessly.

"I don't think Lord Gu Xuan seems to understand that Zhang Lan is not our point of contradiction, the contradiction is your ambition, and you don't just want to be the overlord of the 7 major groups. You need everyone's prostration to re-establish the rules of the world, according to your personal preferences, which is unacceptable to me, and the Sunset Group. Think about what you've been doing lately, and it's scary to think about it. Mark was also a blunt condemnation.

"Chairman Mark, it seems that he has forgotten that the rules of society are made by the strong, and the rules of the past are no longer applicable to the current social environment, is it wrong to make adjustments to them?" Gu Xuan disagreed.

"Your adjustment is to make the whole world your slave?" Mark said disdainfully.

"Don't say that, freedom is what we in power use to fool the people, what slave? What host? Does it matter? Whoever can make more people live and live better, we should call him a savior. Gu Xuan smiled faintly.

"It's a pity, you can't save anything, for the world, you, and the Overlord Group are a disaster."

"Interesting, you try it again." Gu Xuan has a gentlemanly demeanor, but when he gets angry, he is afraid of himself.
