Chapter 448: Puzzle Completed
A large number of warships exploded in the interstellar space, flames gushed out, parts flew everywhere, and only a few scattered figures flew out from the ruins of the warships.
Those are all A-level life forms with strong vitality, and the aftermath of the spacecraft explosion has no effect on them at all.
"Looking for death!" Cordelli's face was gloomy. He came to discuss cooperation, but Li Yu came up and attacked without saying a word.
Now he has killed his men, even though those cannon fodders are not too important, but this is tantamount to a slap in the face to him.
"Now, we can talk about cooperation."
After destroying the warships of Cordri's men, Li Yu suddenly brought up the matter of cooperation again.
This made the angry Cordelli stunned, and he was a little confused about what Li Yu was up to.
Li Yu started fighting right away just now, and he thought it was impossible for the two to cooperate.
His tone was cold: "You killed all my men, and now you want to cooperate with me?"
Li Yu shrugged, not caring about it, and explained: "That's because your attitude is not very good, and there is no trust between us. I always have to weigh your sincerity."
"I killed all your men, but you are still willing to discuss cooperation with me. This shows that you are sincere."
Codry looked at Li Yu who was talking, and inexplicably felt that this statement seemed to make sense.
He didn't care too much about his subordinates. None of the A-level life forms died. Only some minions and cannon fodder died.
He was angry at Li Yu's attitude of not taking him seriously.
However, the two sides were indeed mortal enemies before, and the Ark of Savior had chased Li Yu many times, so it was not surprising that Li Yu treated them with this attitude.
"Then can we continue our conversation now?" Cordelli suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice.
He was still relatively calm. If he wanted to obtain Gensokyo, it would not be enough to rely solely on the power he brought. He had to seek external cooperation.
"That's right..." Li Yu nodded, feeling a little surprised.
This guy seemed to really want to cooperate with him. When Cordri blocked the road just now, Li Yu didn't trust him at all.
Moreover, this person looked arrogant, which made him very unhappy.
He had Horus in charge, and with his own methods, he was not afraid of the other party.
That's why he wanted to take the opportunity to "play" with the other party. However, now that Cordri has suffered losses, he is still willing to cooperate with him, which surprised Li Yu.
These big forces are really flexible. The Ark of Savior suffered a lot from Li Yu, but they are still willing to cooperate with him.
" Since you are so sincere, please follow me." Li Yu stepped aside and said.
"No..." Cordelli shook his head: "I don't trust you. Let's talk here."
Who knows if there are people from different latitude camps hidden in those fleets, so he would not rashly enter danger.
"That's fine..." Li Yu had no objection, and then said, "But if we negotiate, there is one more person who needs to join."
"Who?" Codry was a little surprised and doubtful. Could it be someone from the alien camp?
Many speculations emerged in his mind, but they were all shattered the moment Horus appeared.
"Horus, it's you. You didn't return to the planet?" Kaedwin was extremely surprised. He never expected to see Horus here, just like Della at the beginning.
At the same time, he was glad that he had been alert to his surroundings, otherwise if Horus launched a sneak attack, he would probably be in very trouble.
Whenever someone was surprised why he didn't return to the planet, Horus' eyes would involuntarily look at Li Yu.
This reminded him of some unpleasant things, making him feel bad.
Horus ignored Kodri. The three of them stood in a triangle in the starry sky, forming a temporary communication channel.
"What is your goal?" Li Yu spoke first.
"What's your reason for staying in No Man's Land?" Cordri asked.
The two of them fell silent at the same time. It was still the same problem: there was not enough trust between them and they couldn't have a deep communication.
Both of them felt that the other was trying to get information out of them.
"Let me be fair. Since you have chosen to cooperate, then don't be secretive." Horus then looked at Kodri and said, "Since you took the initiative to seek cooperation, you should show some sincerity."
Fair enough, Kodri's eyes twitched slightly, and he was speechless at Horus's shamelessness.
How is this fair?
However, although Horus' words were shameless, they were true. Kodri pondered for a moment and said, "Our goal is Gensokyo."
"Gensokyo..." Li Yu pretended to be surprised: "I thought your target was me."
"Originally..." Cordelli was also very frank: "But something unexpected happened in the middle, and your priority was downgraded."
"What accident?" Horus asked with his eyes flickering.
"No comment." Cordrey looked at the two with a cold face, "It's your turn now."
Although Cordri was reluctant to say it, Li Yu knew in his heart that he had indeed fooled the Ark of Savior by pretending to be the master.
"Our goal is also Gensokyo..." Li Yu started, and took the initiative to say: "And we have found a lot of secret clues. There is something very complicated behind this matter."
Cordrey's eyes flickered slightly. Li Yu's behavior was somewhat unexpected to him, but after thinking about it, he thought it was reasonable.
Without a direct conflict of interest, no one wants to go against the Ark of Savior.
The Ark of Savior and Li Yu have become hostile to each other due to a series of events.
But since Cordri has already extended an olive branch, Li Yu has no reason to continue to remain in the stalemate.
Thinking of this, Cordri's expression eased slightly, and he agreed, "Yes, we have also found out that this matter is extremely complicated and involves many other events."
"Just the Star Empire alone is not something any of us can contend with."
"Yes." Li Yu nodded in agreement. Their eyes met and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
"We can temporarily form an offensive and defensive alliance to deal with the series of impacts brought about by the Gensokyo incident," Cordri suggested.
"No problem." Li Yu agreed immediately. Apart from the three parties who made the plan, perhaps no one knew more than him.
Even the Ark of Salvation is the same. Although they have found some things, they are limited by various restrictions. They definitely don't know much.
You can fully grasp the initiative in the cooperation and move forward and backward freely.
The two shook hands, which was considered a verbal cooperation. This form was only slightly better than the hostile state, and there was still a long way to go before true trust could be achieved.
"Where is Guixing?" Kodri suddenly looked at Horus, who was at ease.
Horus was stunned for a moment, then he realized that in Codley's eyes, Li Yu did not represent Guixing at all, but an alien camp.
This made him somewhat unhappy, but after careful consideration, he nodded and joined the tripartite alliance.
Li Yu has full control over the imaginary camp at a different latitude.
As a senior executive of the Ark of Salvation, Kodri also has some authority to do things his own way.
Needless to say, Horus, all three have the right to make verbal agreements.
Haha... the pitiful Ark of Salvation will continue to be fooled. Li Yu looked at Cordelli with a smile.
Do you really think I want to cooperate with you? Once we meet the real person in charge of the alien camp, I will make you make up for our losses.
Cordrey was equally calm.
I don’t know what’s going on on Guixing, Horus is wandering in the sky.
After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention, they began to share intelligence information. After some tug-of-war, both sides leaked some information.
"The Blood Duke appears here." This is the information provided by Kodri.
"The Blood Duke? Who is he?" Li Yu looked confused.
"He is involved as well?" Horus frowned.
Good acting!
The two looked at each other, and these words appeared in their minds at the same time.
Then, Horus explained to Li Yu: "The Blood Duke..."
Horus repeated the general information that Li Yu had already known.
"Are you saying that some old organization is involved in this matter?" Li Yu was a little "surprised".
"What can a congressman who has long since fallen from grace gain by getting involved in this matter?"
"He should want to return to the top..." Cordrey's answer was not "I don't know" or something like that, which surprised Li Yu.
This guy seems to really know something?
"What does it mean to return to the top? Could it be that with the help of Gensokyo he can become a member of parliament again?" Li Yu asked doubtfully.
"It's your turn to tell us what you have found out." Cordrey did not explain further and asked Li Yu instead.
Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly. Cordelli must have really found out something, but this guy obviously didn't want to say it.
Do you want to use the master to fool people?
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was suppressed by Li Yu.
If we use the Dominant to ask, it will be too direct and will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Ark of Salvation.
Then trade with information.
"I found out that the reformer is also one of the planners." Li Yu said.
"What?" Kodri was a little shocked, and Horus also looked at Li Yu with strange eyes.
He didn't know the news either, Li Yu hid it too well.
"There are actually reformers. If that's the case..." Cordri stopped talking halfway and didn't continue.
It was obvious that he was hiding something. Li Yu speculated that he was hiding the news that the Abyss Research Institute was also the mastermind behind the scenes.
After all, the first news he got about the Abyss Research Institute came from the Ark of Savior.
But just now, Kodry only mentioned the Blood Duke.
"The target of the reformer should also be Gensokyo. After all, this thing is too convenient." Li Yu did not tell the truth.
Facing Li Yu's gaze, Cordelli understood what he meant and said, "The Blood Duke's target is most likely not Gensokyo, but this huge battlefield caused by Gensokyo."
"The Blood Duke is very special. He is a special experimental subject from the Titan era."
"This huge battlefield will surely produce countless corpses and blood. Those things are his targets."
But at this point, Cordri frowned again: "But we are not sure yet, because the final battlefield is not too big. Whether it is worth it for the Blood Duke to take action is still uncertain."
Li Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and the last piece of the puzzle of the whole incident was completed at this moment.
Kodri didn't know that the Reformers were targeting the two major legions of the Star Empire.
In order to deal with the two large legions, the Reformers gathered a huge armed resistance force, plus various forces hidden behind the scenes.
If a war really breaks out in the end, the final scale of the battlefield will actually be dozens of times larger than what Kodri had estimated.
It is no exaggeration to call it a quagmire of flesh and blood. It is enough for the Duke of Blood to have a full meal.
The Abyss Research Institute's target is Gensokyo, but nine energy beads are still in the control of the Star Empire.
If you want the nine energy beads, you must involve the Star Empire.
Once the Star Empire is involved, an equal force will be needed to balance it, so the Reformers are approached.
The reformers who aim to weaken the Star Empire will naturally not refuse this excellent opportunity.
I just don't know which of the two found the old days again and made them send out the Blood Duke.
The overall plan should be roughly like this. Although we don’t know who started the plan and who plays the role of successor, the ultimate goals of the three forces have been determined.
Although this situation cannot be called perfect, it is already excellent because everyone is able to gather together for a common goal and yet everyone gets what they need.
It can basically ensure that they will not fight among themselves and will unite against the outside world.
For example, Li Yu and Cordri, although they seem to have reached a cooperation now, because both of them are aiming for Gensokyo, there will definitely be some tug-of-war in the end.
But now they all tacitly did not mention this matter.
Li Yu has basically figured out the plan through various means and by integrating information from all parties.
"What are you thinking about?" Cordelli looked at Li Yu who was lost in thought and couldn't help but remind him: "If you find any clues, I hope you can share them."
Li Yu came back to his senses and looked at Kaedwini in front of him with a sincere smile: "Don't worry, since we have reached a cooperation, I will definitely inform you if I have any latest news."
Although working with the Ark made him feel that the world is unpredictable.
However, in the hustle and bustle of life, with both parties having the same goal and hoping to gain some benefits from it, it is understandable that they can reach a temporary cooperation.
The two of them had their own ulterior motives, but they did not show any of it on their faces.
At this moment, Li Yu's smart terminal vibrated. He glanced at it and his face suddenly showed a little joy. Siegel was finally here!
