If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time in 10,000 years that the United Empire of Humanity has seen another player civilization in the Perseus Spiral Arm.

The first time I saw the player civilization was not long after human beings entered the new universe, it was the stage of survival in the sea of stars, at that time there were several player civilizations in the Emperor Star Field of the Perseus Spiral Arm, and in the battle for more than a thousand years, the predecessors finally defeated or exterminated or expelled other player civilizations, dominated the Emperor Constellation Star Field, established a strong human united empire, and became the hegemon of the Perseus Spiral Arm.

However, for thousands of years, humanity was sandwiched between two powerful civilizations, the Bruwan Union and the Kair Zaka Star Sea Empire, and its development was limited.

Although the comprehensive strength of civilization has been growing in recent years, the territory is there, it is difficult to add new Star Sea Lords and even Star Sea Lords, and the growth rate of comprehensive strength is far less than that of three thousand years ago.

And the other spiral arms and even the silver heart of the player civilization ......

It's too far away to know if they will be caught between other powerful civilizations like human civilization, maybe they have, maybe they don't, maybe they fall into a disadvantage, maybe they may defeat other powerful civilizations and go further, etc., they don't know.

But to be sure, this is a huge threat.

Only the player civilization knows the potential of the player civilization, and if this civilization has no limit to its development, there is a high probability that the strength will be stronger than that of humans.

"The fourth item on the agenda, Lord Xuanshuang Chen, who is located outside the Shanhai Pass, discovered an ancient repairable stargate in the Xuanshuang Territory, and after careful research, it was determined that the stargate is a stargate that straddles the arm, and His Excellency Lord Chen Xuanshuang hopes that the empire will expand the scope of the Shanhaiguan defense line and include the Xuanshuang Territory in the Shanhaiguan defense system."

"Oh!"

Li Qing immediately remembered that the attitude of the two subordinates of the Xuanshuang Leader had changed greatly after knowing their lordship status, and he heard that it was related to a certain agenda and did not dare to offend Li Qing, who had the right to vote.

I didn't know what it was before, but now I know it's this.

The four agendas are all very important, Li Qing did not speak, first checked some of the information that can be seen with the viewing permission just now, and there are details of these agendas on them.

Let's not talk about the first agenda, my territory is in the south, of course I voted in favor.

However, he felt that it was pointless, perhaps there were many warlords who wanted to change the center of gravity before, but after knowing that a new player civilization appeared in the north, this center of gravity could not be moved.

The second agenda information Li Qing actually knew about it a long time ago, and he knew it when he subdued the Cybertron God General before, but he didn't know the inside story when he knew about it.

After checking the information, it became clear that a long time ago, it was indeed the top three Star Sea Lords who would respond to the call to take turns, but then the other Star Sea Lords quit, why should this kind of good thing only be enjoyed by you, so after years of protests, the former Star Sea Lords who monopolized the benefits had to compromise and all the Star Sea Lords took turns.

It was not a good thing to simply be recruited to lead the fleet in the past, after all, the service in the past was not simply stationed, it was to be engaged, and it would be good for a legion-level fleet to come back a third in the past.

All of them provoked everyone to compete for this opportunity, mainly because they could get in touch with the real higher civilizations there, and have the opportunity to gain some benefits from those higher civilizations, which is what they valued, and they would rather exchange huge losses for those benefits.

So.....

Well, this has nothing to do with Li Qing, he is not qualified to go, and no Star Sea Lord has come to woo him in private, in line with the principle of not offending anyone, he will abstain from voting later.

As for the third agenda, this one does not need to be voted on, and it is not clear at this stage, they just need to prepare in advance.

The fourth agenda had nothing to do with him, or abstained.

An hour passed quickly, and the Unknown Star Sea Lord, who was presiding over the meeting, rang the bell and said:

"Because of the third agenda, after consulting with the Star Sea Lords, the first proposal has been put on hold for the time being, and a decision will be made after determining the situation of the unknown player civilization in the north."

After speaking, the venue was quiet, which was expected by everyone, and even Li Qing didn't bother to raise his hand.

There were no signs of friction, and the moderator immediately moved on to the next agenda

：

"Now one of the three Star Sea Lords will be elected to accept the next round of recruitment, and the three qualified Star Sea Lords are the Ximen Clan, the Nantian Ye Clan, and the Taishan Xiao Clan, which are represented by the number one, two, and three respectively, please decide which one to support."

After speaking, three virtual buttons appeared in front of Li Qing's eyes, and he pressed whichever he chose.

Li Qing looked at it and didn't choose.

Soon the voting ended, and the Simon clan narrowly suppressed the other two Star Sea Lords and obtained the qualification to be drafted.

The third election agenda is skipped, and the fourth agenda item will soon begin.

Because it had nothing to do with him, Li Qing watched the vote the whole time.

The voting closed five minutes later, with approximately 21 per cent in favour, 64 per cent against, and the remaining abstentions, and the agenda was not adopted.

This is reasonable, after all, if the agenda is passed and the Xuanshuang Territory is included in the Shanhaiguan defense system, it means that the original defense system will be expanded, and the scope of defense will also be expanded, and there will be some loopholes in the defense line of the northern frontier of the empire dominated by the three core fortresses.

Similarly, if this bill is passed, this Xuanshuang Collar will be protected, as long as he does not die, there will be almost no problem in promoting the military lord in the future, and it is difficult for such a good thing to pass.

Human nature is all selfish, coupled with the exclusivity of the class, there are not enough benefits, who would want you to suddenly join the ranks of the military masters.

Although everyone in the Senate had the right to vote, the military lords were not at all the same class as the common lords.

Let's not talk about the difference between prestige and strength, let's just say that there is only one vote for ordinary lords, one vote for military lords as ten votes, and one vote for Xinghai lords as one hundred votes, and all have one veto right.

Although it can only be used once every three years, there is a difference between it and not.

This means that when the vast majority of the military lords reach an agreement, the votes of the other minor lords actually have no effect, because all the combined cannot overturn the decision, even if the star sea lord's veto power is the same, because if more than 90% of the military lords are unanimous, the star sea lord's veto power will automatically become invalid, which is the power of the military lord.

After the four agendas were over, Li Qing made a soy sauce.

Like other minor lords, attending the Council of Elders is mostly soy sauce, but they are keen to participate, which is a symbol of power and status.

Stretching out his hand to hold the back of his head and leaning back, Li Qing was about to wait to announce the end of this meeting, but he heard the Xinghai Lord who presided over the meeting say:

"The main agenda of this senate has ended, and the next stage is the free meeting, where the lords can raise any important matters or disputes between the lords."

Immediately, a small lord sitting on the edge stood up and said:

"Your Excellency, Honorable Lords and War Lords, I am Jiang Yuhui, the Lord of the Dark Tide, and my territory is located outside the Dayan Pass, and it was brought down by me and my brothers at a huge price and hardship, but as soon as the territory was established, there was a consortium named Norton who wanted to forcibly buy shares, and after being refused, they cut off all our shipping lanes, monopolized all commercial exchanges, forcibly traded with us at ten times the usual super high price, and used all means to force us to transfer our equity."

"I hereby ask your honorable lords and lords to do justice for us, and for the Norton Consortium to put an end to this act of banditry that forcibly seizes the property of others."

......

There was a noise outside the venue, all of them were small lords, most of them had experienced this situation, and they had a lot of empathy.

But there was an eerie silence inside the venue, and the lords and lords did not say anything.

Obviously, they have seen too much of this situation, and they have long been unfazed.

But this silence didn't last long, and about a minute or so, there was a sound of hammers striking from above, and the Lord of the Star Sea, who was presiding over the meeting, said:

"We already know your situation, as a senior, I will give you a suggestion, you can make a list of the situation of your territory, list the advantages and disadvantages of the territory, and then visit the military lords or lords one by one, I believe that there will be seniors who will give you guidance."

This proposal....

To be honest, it's fair, not a prevarication.

Even Li Qing can see this

The current situation of the Dark Tide Lord, it is obvious that this Dark Tide Lord is definitely not from the military lord and the lord gatekeeper, otherwise there will be elders who stand up to support just now, an ordinary person or a small family background, can take a life planet and be promoted to the lord, to be honest, it is already very powerful.

But his development will encounter a hurdle here, without the support of the military master, his current ability alone can no longer support him to go further, and it is even difficult to keep the existing territory.

The meaning of this Star Sea Lord is very simple, list the situation of his territory, and ask all the military lords or lords to visit one by one to find a supporter.

Giving a share of the territory in exchange for a strong supporter is a simple exchange of interests.

It is also an inevitable exchange of interests, and if you insist on holding all the shares of the territory, the result will be miserable.

If you are from a civilian background and don't want to pay benefits, who will help you?

At this time, there was another knocking sound from above, and the unknown Star Sea Lord who was presiding over the meeting added:

"It's been a long time since our United Empire of Mankind has given birth to a new military master, and it's just some old faces, and we hope to give birth to some new faces and fresh blood in order to better deal with threats from other civilizations."

"Huh!"

Li Qing could clearly feel that many people were surprised, and the meaning of this sentence was obvious, which was to warn those consortia not to go too far and leave a way for newcomers to live.

There were many people with clear thinking, and then several threatened new lords rose up to complain, and the presiding officer also took the trouble to encourage them.

One by one, things were solved, and the conference gradually came to an end, Li Qing played soy sauce for a day, although he didn't do anything, but he had gained a lot of knowledge.

After a few minutes when no one spoke, everyone thought that there was nothing wrong, and the unknown Star Sea Lord who presided over it was relieved and was about to announce the end of this conference, when suddenly someone in the military chair stood up and said in a deep voice:

"I have something here that I feel compelled to say."

The host waved his hand:

"Please!"

"It's not a big deal, and I don't really need to talk about it here, but I can't help it when someone tries to drag this matter over by taking advantage of the protection period."

"Knock knock, get to the point!"

"That's right, some time ago, outside the border of Zhennan Province, Li Qing, the newly promoted blue-collar lord of Jia, took advantage of the accident of a caravan of the Sanhua Trading Company under my command, not only did not give humanitarian aid, but instead took the opportunity to kill the remnants of the caravan and swallowed up to 1,500 trillion star yuan of goods in the caravan, which is tantamount to stealing, and we asked him to cooperate when we have the evidence, not only did he not cooperate, but he resisted absconding by force."

"Afterwards, relying on the support of the Qinghe Li clan and the Jinmen Yu clan, they did not allow us to ignore our repeated notes, and in desperation, we could only go to the Senate to seek justice."

As soon as the words fell, the audience was silent, and many people showed surprise, but many more people looked at the military lord who spoke with strange eyes, including the Star Sea Lord who was presiding over the meeting, with an expression of whether I had heard it wrong.

When he heard the beginning, Li Qing had a hunch, and when he heard half of it, he could be sure that it was coming for him.

After listening to all the words, he laughed angrily.

It's a skill to be able to talk nonsense with his eyes open so directly, at least he has to type a draft.

At this time, the presiding officer of the meeting knocked on the table to signal silence, and asked in a deep voice:

"Who is the Garan Lord you are talking about?"

"Li Qing."

"Isn't there at the venue?"

"It should be there."

The host looked up at the periphery and asked in a deep voice:

"Which one is Lord Li Qing, please raise your hand."

Li Qing raised his hand expressionlessly, and in an instant, thousands of eyes looked at him, and the next second was an exclamation.

"How is this possible?"

"How is it possible to be so small..."

The military lord who spoke was obviously dumbfounded, and even all the Star Sea Lords on the stage were surprised, and it was obvious that they were all sitting

Straightened up, looking interested.

"!"

The military lord who spoke whispered to the army master next to him:

"Do the people at Sanhua Trading Company eat? Didn't even investigate this? How can it be such a super psionic at such a young age?"

The other military master on the side shook his head and said:

"How do I know?"

After a pause, he said:

"The plan is estimated to not work, such a young super psyker, the Qinghe Li clan and the Jinmen Yu clan will definitely be killed, and it is impossible for the lords to support us, even if we let all the benefits go to the past, it will be useless."

"What then?"

"What else can I do if I lose face, admit it, and say that I am wrong."

"You say."

"Dream, you can lose face alone, why don't you drag me to lose face together."

"You ....."

At this time, another unknown Star Sea Lord asked Li Qing with interest:

"Your Excellency Li Qing, take the liberty of asking, where is your Jialan collar, I believe that most of the lords present don't know yet."

Li Qing stood up and replied with a serious face:

"Your Excellency, my Jialanling is about a thousand light-years north of the border between the Tianjin Star Domain and the Zutar Star Field."

"Oh, I've heard that in the past few years, a lot of newcomers have gone over there, and I heard that there are three alien civilizations over there, is your planet robbed of alien races?"

"Yes."

"Yes, how old are you?"

「24！」
