Chapter 838: War, I want war!
"I have already informed the leader that the senior officials will have a secret meeting with you. Only some dominant life forms are qualified to know about it."
General Assad put down the communicator and told Li Yu about the meeting plan discussed with the top leaders.
Li Yu nodded. He had seen the entire conversation between General Assad and the top leaders.
It was quite conventional. The two sides first exchanged intelligence and then further discussed the details of .
He is mainly researching the newly upgraded [Symbiotic Reproduction Suit].
[Suit Effect] is a rather peculiar ability.
When 2, 4, and 6 items are embedded, the characteristics unlocked are [Increase Income and Reduce Expenditure], [Legendary Quality], and [100% Enhancement] respectively.
[Increase revenue and reduce expenditure] As the name suggests, it means reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency.
[Legendary Quality] strengthens a specific embedded item in a short period of time, making it more powerful in all aspects.
[100% Enhancement] is even more powerful, as it can greatly enhance the ability to embed items in all aspects without distinction.
For example, the Supreme Forge used to take ten years to extract source material, but now it only takes five years, or even shorter.
To sum it up, it’s just one word – awesome!
After several months, they finally arrived at their destination.
The core of the Iron-Blooded Civilization is a giant super-large planet.
The surface is full of criss-crossing mechanical buildings, giant architectural structures are everywhere, and the beauty of industrial style is everywhere.
At the same time, there are a large number of giant satellites guarding the planet, forming a criss-crossing planetary veins.
At this moment, a huge wormhole crack appeared next to a satellite, and a small-scale transforming army flew out of it. It was Li Yu and his group.
A guard of honor had already been waiting here. The surrounding area had been cleared and various isolation facilities had been set up to prevent anyone from breaking in.
The leader was a guy wearing a gray tall hat. His skin was gray-black, and he had two pairs of eyes arranged opposite each other. He had no nostrils, but instead gill-like respiratory organs growing on both sides of his cheeks.
He stood straight, and when he saw Li Yu and his group coming down from the spaceship, his expression became more solemn. He quickly stepped forward and said:
"Hello, Your Excellency Long Zun, the Iron-Blooded Civilization welcomes you."
This was considered a secret meeting and there was no large welcoming guard of honor.
"He is the personal secretary of the head of state and to some extent represents the head of state himself." General Assad explained in a low voice, fearing that Li Yu would think that the Iron and Blood Civilization did not take him seriously enough.
Even if it is an ordinary dominant life form, if it comes to the Iron-Blooded Civilization with good intentions, the Iron-Blooded Civilization will use very large welcoming standards.
As long as life forms standing at the top of the cosmic evolution are well-intentioned, they will be welcomed by any civilization.
"Hello..." Li Yu nodded and extended his hand.
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon reacted, stretched out his hands and shook hands with Li Yu.
At the same time, paying attention to the changes in Li Yu's expression, after a moment, he let go of his hands.
Every civilization has different etiquette, and General Assad certainly didn’t specifically ask about such trivial matters.
However, this personal secretary is obviously an expert at reading people's expressions.
"You can call me Charles. His Excellency the Führer is waiting for you. Please follow me." Charles stepped aside and motioned Li Yu to board their spaceship .
Then he added: "General Assad, the masters are waiting for you. They have something to ask you."
General Assad nodded, and it was nothing more than a personal assessment report on what he had experienced during this period and Li Yu.
He waved to Li Yu, and the two parted ways, heading in different directions.
As we followed the other party deeper into this giant planet, we could see a lot of spaceships along the way, most of which were angular and very aggressive.
They soon arrived in front of a giant palace. The silver-white metal walls were extremely smooth and had almost no unnecessary decorations.
In the morning light, a solemn atmosphere filled the air.
The guards along the way had been notified long ago and turned a blind eye to them, without any obstruction or inspection.
Under the guidance of Charles, Li Yu came to the deepest part, which was the reception room of the head of the Iron-Blooded Civilization.
The door of the room slowly opened, and at Charles's signal, Li Yu walked straight in.
This is a slightly empty room, with no decoration.
Not far in front of him stood a figure with his back to him.
As the door of the room closed, the scenery in the room changed. The stars were shining and they seemed to have come into the starry sky.
It seems to be a holographic projection, but it seems a little different.
"Hello, Dragon Lord. I am the head of the Iron Blood Civilization - Drojeda."
He turned around, and his appearance was similar to that of the other Iron Blood people. Li Yu couldn't tell the difference anyway.
He stretched out his hand towards Li Yu. Seeing this, Li Yu couldn't help but smile and stretched out his hand as well.
The handshake is complete.
Droyeda got straight to the point: "According to Asad, you are from the ruins left behind by the Titan civilization?"
"That's right." Li Yu nodded.
"We are very curious about the ruins, but we don't care too much about it." He said slowly:
"During this period of time, the Eternal Civilization and the Zero Civilization have been secretly planning something."
"After our unremitting efforts, we finally found some clues."
"They are sending people to explore the ruins, apparently trying to dig something up."
Li Yu listened to the other party quietly.
The head of state looked calm: "Civilization Zero won the war, but did not get any spoils. Instead, it suffered heavy losses."
“There should be a lot of valuable things buried in that ruin.”
Li Yu couldn't figure out what the head of state was planning for the time being, so he could only go along with what he said: "Yes, there are indeed a lot of valuable things in it."
"But part of it is in me, and the other part I can't find."
Drogheda nodded, which was not unexpected.
With the strength displayed by this Dragon Lord, he must have turned everything in the ruins over and over again.
He didn't believe that the Eternal Civilization and the Zero Civilization couldn't think of this.
However, both of them still maintained great enthusiasm for exploring the ruins.
Civilization Zero is easy to explain. They recently defeated the Titan Civilization and wanted to take back their spoils, which can be considered a motive.
But why are the recent actions of the Eternal Civilization more frequent than those of the Zero Civilization?
It is difficult for a mere eyewitness of the war to explain this doubt.
"According to our information, Mechanical Lord Kartel appeared in the Three Kings Civilization not long ago, shortly after you took action."
"The Eternal Civilization seems to be very concerned about your whereabouts."
Drogheda's tone was questioning.
"Your Excellency the Head of State..." Li Yu did not answer the question directly, but asked: "Let's not beat around the bush and tell me your purpose directly."
Droyeda pondered for a moment before saying, "It has been more than five thousand years since a new civilization was discovered. I'm talking about valuable civilizations, not those that haven't even left their planets."
"The existing civilizations in this universe that can move have been divided up, and the remaining ones are just some hard bones that will cost a certain price to gnaw on."
"But because the major civilizations are restraining each other, no one dares to act rashly."
“We need an opportunity.”
"Opportunity?"
Li Yu keenly sensed the fighting spirit hidden in the words of the head of state.
In the ruins of Titan civilization, surface peace has lasted for a long time. Everyone has developed through trade and time and has become accustomed to it.
But this development situation is certainly not as good as war plunder.
This head of state was even more direct and wanted to start a war openly, but he just didn't have a good opportunity.
Otherwise, it is easy to be targeted by a joint attack.
Having come to this universe for some time, Li Yu can also sense that the atmosphere in this universe is very tense.
Civilization Zero is facing severe internal and external troubles, and the Eternal Civilization still launches wars of conquest from time to time.
And now, the Iron-Blooded Civilization is openly expressing its desire for war.
Droyeda continued, "Civilization Zero is facing internal and external troubles, and their leaders have never been able to find a solution. Unfortunately, they have a deep foundation and are the only civilization with a record of defeating a civilization of the same level."
“No one wants to take the lead.”
"Is your target Civilization Zero?" Li Yu's eyes moved slightly.
"That's right. We only need an opportunity and we will work together to divide it up." Droyeda's eyes were burning.
"I think the opportunity lies in the ruins of Titan civilization."
Everyone knows that Civilization Zero is facing internal and external troubles, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and no one is willing to take the lead.
"I want to start a war between the Eternal Civilization and the Zero Civilization. The Eternal Civilization is developing too fast and needs to be contained." Droyedar's tone became increasingly excited:
"Let them attract some firepower first, and then we will launch a war against Civilization Zero, and the Protoss will surely follow closely behind."
"This war will engulf the universe. While we divide up Civilization Zero, we can also use it to chew on some tough bones."
Li Yu looked at the war maniac in front of him. He really didn't expect that the plan of the Iron and Blood Civilization would be like this.
Although the Eternal Civilization is superior, civilizations like the Three Kings Civilization, which have more than one super life form, are also very troublesome.
Although they can defeat each other, they cannot guarantee that they will be the biggest beneficiaries of the war.
Then such a war would be meaningless to them.
"However, the conflicts between them are very restrained. It would be troublesome to start a war, so we need an important conflict point."
Droyeda calmed down and changed the subject, saying, "I want to ask you if there are any inducing factors of sufficient weight in the ruins."
Yes...and it's standing right in front of you.
Li Yu secretly complained in his heart, always feeling that this sentence was describing himself.
If he fell into the hands of Civilization Zero, the Eternal Civilization would definitely try to get it back at all costs to prevent the [Eternal Core] from leaking out.
vice versa.
"Well...it's hard to say. There are some things about the Titan civilization that I still can't dig out." Li Yu said ambiguously.
"So do you have any way to return to the ruins now?" Drogheda asked again.
"No." Li Yu denied it directly.
Droyeda's expression flickered, and he suddenly smiled and said, "This is not a simple plan. Don't worry. You can rest here for a while. It won't be too late to proceed after you have collected more information and intelligence from us."
Li Yu also meant this. He was quite interested in the plan of the Iron Blood Civilization. Getting rid of Civilization Zero would mean one less trouble for him.
It's just that they had just met and there wasn't much trust between them, so he was reluctant to say some things.
The two talked for a while before the head of state asked his personal secretary to send Li Yu out.
After watching the two men leave, Droyeda waved his hand expressionlessly, and the scene in the room quickly changed.
A long conference table appeared out of thin air, and General Assad and others had been talking for a long time.
"...Why didn't you tell me such a crucial thing earlier!?" One of them seemed very excited and pointed at General Assad.
"I need a chance too. I almost didn't survive, let alone report the news. There were several times when I felt he was going to kill me." General Assad said unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Droyeda asked, frowning slightly.
"Head of State..." Everyone spoke up to show their respect, and the man who had just accused General Assad said, "They found a failed evolutionary body before..."
"What!?" Drojeda was a little stunned: "Failed evolution? Can it still exist?"
"To be precise, the evolution was half successful..." General Assad added: "In addition, the body has been destroyed by Dragon Lord."
"Ruined?" Drogheda frowned deeply.
"Are you sure he's not doing anything under your nose?" someone asked.
"I'm sure. I still have some vision. The body must have disappeared." General Assad said firmly.
"We're in big trouble...you're such an idiot!" the guy just now cursed again.
"Barossa, don't think I'm afraid of you!" General Assad said angrily.
Barosa scolded: "I said you are a fool and you still don't admit it. You said to destroy it and it will be destroyed? Do we believe that others will believe it?"
"Now that he has entered the Iron Blood Civilization, in the eyes of others, he has handed over the body to us!"
General Assad was not to be outdone, saying, "The Iron-Blooded Civilization can't escape. It's right here. Can I stop it?"
