Chapter 636: Unexpected Gains
"The third pioneer?"
Li Yu looked at the holographic screen in front of him. The bright blue text was arranged neatly. This was the latest news that Mark had given him.
Due to his natural distrust and fear of the forerunners, Mark took the initiative to find Li Yu not long ago, hoping that Li Yu could help the Bados civilization overcome this crisis.
Li Yu, who was eager to help others, naturally agreed to Mark's request and promised that the forerunners would not vent their anger on them.
In return, Mark needs to act as a spy and provide information and intelligence support to Li Yu.
This so-called third pioneer is the information that Mark just passed on.
This was the fifth day after the destruction of the Forerunner base. The Forerunner sent by the Forerunners found Mark and learned some information from him.
As for this pioneer, Mark seemed to show some fear in his words.
He expressed in very clear terms that this was a powerful life form far beyond his own, and the specific level of the battle was unknown.
But I'm afraid it has evolved to a very high level at the A5 level.
Parsca is a branch base that the Forerunners attach great importance to. When such a problem occurred, Li Yu was not surprised that the Forerunners sent powerful life forms to investigate.
What he had to do next was to try his best to delay this so-called third pioneer.
This guy must be very awesome. Just by listening to his name, you can tell that he must be a pillar of the Pioneers.
Li Yuke was not interested in fighting with this pioneer for no reason.
After thinking about some things in his mind, he had a rough idea, but before that, he needed to deal with another matter——
[Searching the world... analyzing data... [World list] is open, please check it out, host]
Li Yu opened the [World List], and three world names flashing with special colors appeared in front of Li Yu.
Star Trek World
[Divergent World]
【Ender's Game World】
After this period of cooling down, the clone can be deployed again.
These three worlds all look ordinary and nothing special.
After all, at his level, there are not many things that can help him.
This made Li Yu a little disappointed. After all, what he most hoped to see was a world with infinite gems.
After thinking carefully for a moment, he finally set his sights on [Ender's Game World]. He seemed to remember that this world... seemed to have Zerg.
Thinking of this, Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly and he had made a decision.
[Mission Mode - Ender's Game World - Get the Living Zerg Queen]
[Avatar No. 1 was successfully deployed. Please check the mission log after the mission is completed . ]
After dealing with the problem of deploying the clone, he glanced at the other two clones.
Number Two is now imprisoned in Asgard's prison and is under strict surveillance. He cannot do anything for the time being, so naturally there is no reward.
Waiting for the day of beheading to arrive. According to the system's instructions, the old man Odin has invited many people to come and watch.
However, No. 3 did have some special gains.
[Obtain special item - Mechanization: You can merge with a mechanical creation, thus mechanizing it for a short period of time, and the duration is - until you separate on your own. ]
This was the takeaway from Cyborg, as Number Three's recent behavior seemed to have caught the cyborg's attention, and he had a friendly exchange with him.
This is a consumable, but it has no duration, which means that he can always maintain the mechanical fusion state.
Well...of course he wouldn't do that.
After settling the matter of the clone, Ge Silin suddenly urgently requested to meet with Li Yu.
The president of the Morton civilization has not had good luck, but he is very capable and has been contributing to the resurgence of the Morton civilization.
As one of the founding civilizations of the Civilization Alliance, the Morton civilization is gradually declining, but it is still considered a huge commercial entity.
There is a mature business system in its territory. Although some wealthy people have long left the Morton civilization, the remaining ordinary citizens can still create huge wealth.
Previous presidents of the Morton civilization also made various promises before taking office. They were willing to fight for their lives and swear that they would exhaust all their energy to revive the Morton civilization.
But after coming to power, he immediately changed his face and plundered the little remaining wealth of the Morton civilization.
Then once the term of office is up, the profits will start to flow immediately.
This is a mess to begin with, so bad that most of the civilized citizens of Morton no longer care who is the president.
Basically, they just randomly choose a candidate that they like or simply abstain from voting.
However, Gosling is a very good president. After taking office, he did not plunder wealth but issued a series of policies to inject a shot of adrenaline into the dying old man.
The commercial operations within the civilized system have barely recovered to some scale.
But unfortunately, if he had come to power a few hundred years earlier, the situation of Morton civilization would be much better than it is now.
Unfortunately, previous presidents had already collected taxes from the Morton civilization hundreds of years in advance.
The entire civilization's finances are in deficit, and there is even a lot of foreign debt.
If other civilizations had not seen that the Morton civilization had basically no chance of repaying its debts, they would have stopped lending to it in the later period.
I'm afraid the previous presidents would have dared to borrow money for hundreds more years.
Gosling worked hard and tried every possible way to prolong the life of Morton civilization.
This time, he also knew that Li Yu and Lloyd's motives were not pure, and they definitely did not come to support them.
But he could only pretend that he knew nothing. After all, the Morton civilization could no longer decay.
However, the risks brought by these two people are obviously more troublesome than he imagined.
"According to the latest intelligence, an unknown fleet of more than 500,000 has gathered within the territory of the Bardos civilization and is heading towards the border of the Morton civilization."
He was sweating profusely. He was not an idiot. He just pretended to know nothing in the past few days.
But now the danger is really about to affect the Morton civilization, and he can't help but be anxious.
Last time, 200,000 warships directly defeated the Nabus Snakemen Legion and a large number of auxiliary fleets of the Star Empire.
Now with 500,000 warships, they would be able to sweep across their Morton civilization.
Their Morton civilization now does not even have a fleet that can compare to the Nabus Snakeman Legion.
Gosling didn't know much. In fact, the reason why the Forerunners won that battle was mainly because of Ales.
But this time he didn't worry too much. Although Ales was killed by Li Yu, the pioneer who came this time was obviously more powerful.
"What?" Li Yu pretended to be surprised. In fact, he had already learned the news through Mark.
The suspects in the destruction of the branch base are easy to identify, as they are nothing more than the forces represented by these two.
This pioneer obviously wants to get back at square one.
"Yeah, what should we do?" Ge Silin was anxiously turning around, but his eyes kept looking at Li Yu from time to time.
It was not difficult for Li Yu to guess the other party's plan. He just wanted him to help solve the problem.
"Well, this time the enemy's attack is most likely aimed at Lloyd and me. It may be revenge for my attack not long ago. Morton civilization just suffered an unexpected disaster." Li Yu went straight to the point and said to Gosling with expectant eyes:
"Then... let's leave the Morton civilization for the time being. This way, they won't target the Morton civilization."
"Leave the Morton civilization?" Gosling's heart was pounding.
This was not the answer he wanted. The enemy was coming with such force that wherever they passed, it would surely be a purgatory.
Li Yu and Lloyd once stayed in the Morton civilization for a long time.
Even if they leave now, the other party may not let them go.
Compared to evacuating, what he wanted more was for Li Yu and Lloyd to fight each other head-on.
Even though this battle may have far-reaching consequences, it is also an opportunity.
If the enemy's attack is repelled, the Morton civilization will at least have a chance to rise again, and maybe even take the opportunity to eliminate the Bados civilization.
"This... Didn't you and Lord Lloyd come here for them? Why do you have to leave? We can cooperate with you and fight a beautiful ambush in the territory of Morton civilization." Goslin whispered.
Li Yu glanced at Gosling. Beautiful ambush?
The Xingyao Empire would definitely not send out any force, and Li Yu had no interest in competing with this pioneer.
"Don't worry, Morton civilization will be fine." Li Yu comforted him. He was not just talking nonsense.
With the current strength of the Morton civilization, if the forerunners really want to help the Bados civilization replace the Morton civilization, it will not cost too much.
However, the Morton civilization is one of the founding civilizations of the Alliance of Civilizations after all. If it is really destroyed, it will definitely cause quite a stir in the interstellar space.
The Forerunners needed to hide themselves, so they were unwilling to help the Bados civilization replace the Morton civilization.
However, due to Li Yu’s recent bold move, this organization, which had been hidden for many years, suddenly appeared on the interstellar stage as the other side of the alien camp.
In this case, it is hard to say whether the Forerunners will take into account the huge interstellar public opinion caused by the destruction of the Morton civilization.
But he could let Mark secretly guide them, and once he and Lloyd left the Morton civilization , he could naturally let the forerunners turn their attention away from this declining civilization.
Li Yu was not really prepared for the Morton civilization to trick him to death.
After all, their welcome ceremony was quite grand, and the treatment they had received over the past few days was quite good, and they had been flattering him and Klein in the interstellar space.
But he obviously couldn't tell Gosling now that he had already greeted Mark.
So Gosling's current worries have not disappeared. He even thinks that Li Yu intends to use the Morton civilization and then abandon it, leaving them to fend for themselves.
His expression flickered, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he did not speak. He just smiled reluctantly and said, "I hope that the other party can really let Morton Civilization go."
Gosling left somewhat dejectedly. He had keenly discovered that this storm was much bigger than he had imagined.
In fact, he was similar to Nick. When he realized that Lloyd had also come here, he already understood that the matter was... big.
Unfortunately, the Morton civilization does not have any capital to resist now.
Do I have to hand that thing over?
Gosling's expression flickered, as if he was considering something extremely difficult.
…
"Evacuate from the Morton civilization?" Lloyd frowned and looked at Li Yu. He didn't expect to hear these words from the other party.
He stood in front of the window, the transparent gauze curtains fluttering around him in the breeze.
Isn't this guy quite arrogant? He attacked Bados alone before and was seriously injured. Now he is afraid?
Li Yu looked at Lloyd and said, "Don't you know that a large number of unknown warships assembled by the Bardos civilization, which may be from the Abyss Research Institute or the Forerunners, are rushing here."
"Of course I know, so are you scared?" Lloyd asked back, feeling somewhat proud in his heart, because this was exactly the situation he wanted.
When both sides fight, it’s best to knock the dog’s brains out.
"I just think there's no need to let the war affect the Morton civilization. They've been treating us very well during this period of time," said Li Yu.
"Heh..." Lloyd sneered, totally disbelieving what Li Yu said.
Afraid of bringing disaster to Morton civilization?
He didn't believe that Li Yu would be so kind. He was more inclined to believe that this was just an excuse for the other party to retreat.
Lloyd shook his head and said, "Even if we evacuate now, the other party may not let the Morton civilization go. I'm afraid your provocation has already made them extremely angry."
He didn't know that Li Yu had already obtained the Thunder Armor, and still believed that the other party's counterattack was to retaliate against Li Yu's attack.
In fact, he was a little surprised. Li Yu just made a surprise attack and he was seriously injured. How could it make the forerunner so angry?
When Li Yu was about to speak, Lloyd's men suddenly walked in and reported: "Your Highness, President Gosling requested a meeting."
"Oh?" Lloyd raised his eyebrows and said, "The victim is here, please let him in."
A moment later, Gosling walked in. He looked tense and his temperament seemed a little different. He looked at the two of them with a very wanton look.
This look made Lloyd feel a little uncomfortable, and he said in a cold tone: "I wonder what President Gosling wants?"
"I know you didn't come here to help the Morton civilization." Gosling said in a deep voice: "I also know that the Morton civilization has no interests that can move you."
"But you guys set up a mess here, passed the risk to us, and then you want to leave at will. Don't you think it's a matter of course?"
Hearing this, Lloyd smiled and looked at Li Yu: "Sir Long Zun, don't you plan to say a few words? I don't plan to leave here."
Li Yu frowned slightly. It was understandable that Gosling thought that the Morton civilization was about to be destroyed, so he came to call for punishment.
But he was already confident that he could preserve the Morton civilization. If this guy said something else and made him unhappy, he could hardly be sure that he would not change his mind.
"However, I know that the interstellar world is a society where the strong prey on the weak, but I will not admit defeat!"
Gosling's eyes seemed a little crazy. "Whoever can destroy those fleets and save the Morton civilization, I will give the Thunder Armor to him!"
"Thunder Armor!?" Lloyd stood up suddenly and stared at Gosling.
Li Yu swallowed back the words he was about to say.
You are the big customer, you have the say.
