Chapter 637 Lloyd: I didn’t know I was so awesome!
"The Thunder Armor is in your hands?" Lloyd was a little incredulous and shook his head, "That's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible." Gosling took out a picture. On it was a red cloak that was slightly damaged and surrounded by some arcs of electricity.
"The Morton Civilization has controlled the Thunder Armor for many years. Do you really think that we haven't figured out anything?"
Lloyd still didn't believe it: "I know that the former Morton civilization should not be underestimated, but your previous presidents were not easy to deal with."
"If the Morton civilization still possesses the cloak of the Thunder Armor, it is impossible for it to be in your hands."
The previous presidents of the Morton civilization didn't even collect taxes until hundreds of years later, let alone Titan-level artifacts like the Thunder Armor.
"The Morton civilization once stood at the top of the interstellar space. In this civilization, not only those people were born, but also people who were willing to die for the civilization." Goslin said with a complicated expression:
"This is the last trump card of the Morton civilization, and it is now placed in front of you."
The tragedy of civilization is nothing more than this: trying every possible means to survive.
However, the choice of Morton civilization is a more courageous one.
Since they still have some components of the Thunder Armor, they can exchange for protection with a large civilization or even the Star Empire.
But in this case, the Morton civilization would lose its civilizational independence, which would be no different from its destruction.
Lloyd's expression was uncertain and his fists clenched involuntarily. This was unexpected information.
The Star Empire had no knowledge of this information before, so this caused a lot of trouble.
Gosling wanted to use this method of "offering a reward" to let the alien camp and the Star Empire compete, and then let the Morton civilization be safe and sound.
However, the Star Empire did not invest too much energy here .
What he called the "upcoming fleet of the Star Empire" was simply to delay time.
This also means that he has lost the right to compete for the Thunder Armor's cloak.
As long as Li Yu stops the forerunners, he can get it.
The highest estimate made by the Star Empire was that the alien camp would only obtain one component of the Thunder Armor.
They had snatched it back from the forerunners, so there was no substantial loss for them.
But now, if the alien camp defeats the Forerunners, they will get two components, which makes Lloyd feel a little bit at a disadvantage.
As long as the helmet is found, the alien camp will have a complete set of Thunder Battle Armor.
This bait is too big.
No, he might not be able to defeat the Forerunner. Perhaps, he would gain nothing in the end, and he might even die here.
Lloyd frowned and could only comfort himself in this way.
Or... there was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Gosling said at the right moment: "I hope you two won't have any other thoughts. The cloak is not with me."
"It is controlled by a secret organization within the civilization. It will be useless even if you kill me."
"If the Morton civilization is destroyed, the organization will leave here as a spark, and you will get nothing."
"Haha, you worry too much. How could we have such a shameful idea?" Li Yu laughed. He didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain in the end.
But think about it, the Morton civilization was once glorious after all, and a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
He had not originally intended to involve the Morton civilization, but now he has even more motivation.
However, the more troublesome thing is that he only needed to let Mark mislead and divert the Forerunner's target.
But now Gosling's request is to completely eliminate this risk.
This means that he will most likely have to face off against the tricky Third Pioneer.
Lloyd snorted coldly. This guy was laughing so happily, he wouldn't think the cloak was already in his pocket.
Haha...you really don't know what I'm talking about!
…
In the bizarre jump track, dark warships are sailing.
On the largest mothership, Mark was talking to the third pioneer.
"You mean, Li Yu and Lloyd have evacuated from the Morton civilization?" The third pioneer said in a calm voice.
"Yes, according to the latest intelligence I have obtained, Lloyd seems to want to leave the Morton civilization, but Li Yu is somewhat reluctant, and the two seem to have even had a quarrel." Mark said, changing Li Yu's narration.
Originally, Li Yu just asked him to find a way to make the Forerunners shift their target away from the Morton civilization.
This is indeed very simple. As long as Li Yu and Lloyd leave, he will talk about the influence of public opinion. According to the previous methods of the pioneers, they will basically not attack the Morton civilization again.
But later, Li Yu suddenly changed his mind and asked him to convey this statement.
"Lloyd... turns out to be from the Star Empire." The third pioneer naturally thought that the reason why Lloyd was in a hurry to leave was because he had obtained the Thunder Battle Armor.
But Li Yu didn't know, so he still wanted to stay.
"Your intelligence system is quite powerful." The third pioneer nodded.
"We are old enemies of the Morton civilization, so we just planted a few more people there." Mark shook his head, and then added, "But if the two of them leave the Morton civilization, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get any specific information."
"Now that we know who it is, they... can't escape." Some golden streamlines appeared in the hands of the third pioneer, as if they wanted to form something, but they kept disintegrating and condensing again.
…
Two days later, in an unknown star region, in a hidden meteorite belt, several spaceships docked here.
Lloyd looked around. A meteorite belt that floated along a specific trajectory rushed past him. He frowned and said, "Why are we here? Do you really want to eliminate the threat to Morton civilization?"
"I think it's better to control Gosling and then find a way to collect clues."
Lloyd bewitched.
"You are the heir of the Star Empire after all. How could you come up with such a shameless method!" Li Yu shouted.
Is your treatment of Benfir Civilization shameful? You have taken so many citizens to who knows where they are, and it is uncertain whether they are dead or alive.
Lloyd glanced at Li Yu, too lazy to argue, and said:
"It would be difficult to deal with the enemy by yourself. Why don't you ask your people for support?"
"It's just a bunch of useless people. I can handle it by myself." Li Yu said nonchalantly.
"Uh..." Nicas felt his teeth hurting and said with a wry smile, "We should be more cautious."
Lloyd was stunned and speechless. What's wrong with this kid? Why is he so arrogant? Has he forgotten that he was almost beaten to death not long ago?
"Don't forget, you were almost beaten to death last time." Lloyd couldn't stand Li Yu's expression and said with a hint of sarcasm.
"I know..." Li Yu was not angry, and shook his head: "But after the last battle, I have grown up and will not fail a second time."
Not to mention Lloyd, even Nicas was speechless, and felt more and more that the pirate ship he was on was about to capsize.
Lloyd was even more speechless. If he didn't have to keep an eye on Li Yu to prevent this guy from doing anything tricky, he wouldn't want to follow Li Yu to such a remote place.
Just when everyone was speechless, suddenly a cold voice sounded in everyone's mind: "Found you!"
The sudden mental fluctuation caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
Nicas was even more horrified and said, "I sensed a frightening aura not far away!"
The next moment, the surrounding meteorite belts exploded directly, turned into powder, and dissipated into the interstellar space.
The disappearance of the meteorite belt made the surroundings clear. At some point, a figure wrapped in a white robe suddenly appeared in the distance.
Although they couldn't see his eyes, everyone felt a sharp gaze.
There was an illusory human figure in his palm, with flowing light all around.
"Who is he!?" Nicas felt somewhat doubtful. There were probably not many life forms in the entire galaxy that could make him feel afraid.
At the same time, the surrounding interstellar space began to fluctuate, and a large number of black warships turned from virtual to real and leaped here.
When Lloyd saw the white figure, his pupils suddenly shrank, a cold light rose from behind him and rushed straight to his brain. He couldn't help but shout: "Pioneer!?"
"Do you know him?" Li Yu looked at Lloyd in surprise.
"The Forerunners' executive officers are at the top of the Forerunners' hierarchy, second only to the civilization leaders. This is recorded in the archives. The Forerunners disappeared long ago, but they should have retained this position." Lloyd looked grim, and murmured:
"That shouldn't be the case. He shouldn't be here. Why is he here?"
The pioneer officer has a very high status among the pioneers, and there are only a few of them in total, so how could they be dispatched easily?
"How did they find this place..." Lloyd felt something was wrong, and then suddenly looked at Li Yu: "It must be your people. The last time the coordinates of the Imperial Fleet were leaked, I suspected that there was a problem on your side!"
Lloyd lost his composure a little, and he had no choice but to do so because his life was really in danger.
The reason why he followed Li Yu around without worry was that he thought Li Yu would not put himself in danger.
But now, even though the forerunners have appeared and there are still such a lot of warships, it is definitely a dead end.
The hunter behind Li Yu looked around suspiciously. This time, it was only him who followed Li Yu, no one else.
Is there something wrong with me?
At this moment, a wailing sound came from beside Lloyd, and the body of one of his men suddenly began to twist and make a sound of bones breaking.
"Your Highness, save me..." He wailed, but his body quickly condensed into an irregular sphere and lost vital signs.
"Barrot..." Lloyd looked at his men and clenched his teeth.
Li Yu's expression was slightly condensed . This guy was very powerful, but he died just like that. And the strange thing was that he didn't feel any energy fluctuations.
"It's him!" Nicas pointed at the Third Vanguard, "I just saw him clench his hands, and then the guy became like this."
"You should know him. Aren't you and the Forerunners two sides of the same coin?" Lloyd said sternly.
"Of course I know him, the Third Pioneer." Li Yu shrugged, not seeming nervous.
"Third... still so high in the sequence." Lloyd took a deep breath.
"Lloyd, hand over the Thunder Armor. For the Emperor's sake, I will not pursue the matter of destroying the Titan ruins. I will let you go."
That cold voice sounded in everyone's mind again.
The Forerunners did not want to kill Lloyd because the practical benefits of doing so were too small.
Lloyd is only the first heir, there are second, third, fourth...
Not only would the Forerunner gain nothing by killing him, but the Star Empire would have to make a strong response in order to maintain its own face and dignity, which would not be worth the loss.
But what he said made Lloyd confused. What was this person talking about?
What is Thunder Armor, what is Destroyed Titan Ruins, how come I don’t know anything about it?
"Sir, I don't have the Thunder Armor in my hand. The cloak is in Gosling's hand. I think you have misunderstood something." Lloyd calmed down and responded.
"Don't pretend anymore. We have never underestimated the Star Empire. I don't know how you persuaded Alfonso to rebel, but you did win the first half." The third pioneer's mental fluctuations revealed indifference:
"I will take charge of the second half. Don't waste time. I'll give you one last chance."
Mark beside him was a little suspicious. What on earth did Li Yu do to make this arrogant guy so sure that Alfonso had betrayed him, and that he was instigated by the Star Empire.
Lloyd was even more confused, and asked, "You mean, I instigated your people to rebel, then broke into your base, took away the Thunder Armor, and destroyed a Titan ruins?"
"Are you humiliating me?" The third vanguard asked in a flat tone, but another of his men beside Lloyd fell down wailing.
"No, no, I just...just..." Lloyd felt his mind was a little confused and he needed some time to sort it out.
I am so awesome that I can manipulate the pioneers at will.
It’s just… why didn’t I know this?
Until a few minutes ago, he had always thought that the plan was still under control, but now this sudden change has made him very confused.
The third pioneer added: "Otherwise, why would you be so anxious to leave Morton civilization?"
"In a hurry to leave Morton civilization!?" Lloyd was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at Li Yu.
He had never been in a hurry to leave the Morton civilization. It was obviously Li Yu, so how did it become him?
It must have something to do with this guy!
