Chapter 567: Coronation Ceremony, Sprinkle Water
"We are going to the West Sea tomorrow. Shi Rui chose this day to hold his coronation ceremony. The head of the sect gave us a day off. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the intention was for us to go and show our support for Shi Rui.
Now that the Black Hand Society and Fengming Country have formed a brotherly alliance, it would be a little unreasonable for you not to show up when their leader ascends the throne."
Wasteland, Blackhand Town.
Lao Jiang projected his consciousness into Rogge's office and spoke to Black Fox who had just returned.
Roger is changing his clothes now.
He didn't shy away from it. They were both grown men, so it didn't matter if they were frank with each other.
While taking the shirt from Asuna, the frozen fish secretary, he responded to his boss:
"I know about this. I just went out to prepare a gift for my brother Shi Rui. I know that you people in Kumu Territory have many rules. It is not right to go to someone's coronation ceremony without bringing a gift."
"Oh, Roger has become generous too."
Boss Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa, laughed and seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked:
"What gift did you prepare for Shi Rui?"
"That's certainly what he needs most."
Black Fox waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone:
"I've just equipped the stormtroopers with light assault tanks, and I've collected twenty of them for his King's Guard, as well as a few precision machining machine tools. I don't have nuclear bombs right now, so I'll give him ten Tomahawk Modifieds to defend the capital.
We are short of everything in the wasteland, but we have a lot of these things. We can just dig up a few arsenals left over from nuclear wars in the Death Desert and make up for it."
"It's simple and crude, but Shi Rui will definitely like it. It's a good gift."
Lao Jiang praised:
"In the next phase, he will start integrating the small countries around Fengming Country. As for arms, he will take as much as you give him. I heard that you signed a military agreement with Shi Rui some time ago?"
"right."
Rogge put on his shirt and let his secretary help him tie his tie. He then picked up his cigar and tidied his appearance in front of the mirror. He said to Lao Jiang:
"Shi Rui said that he would counterattack Wuling within three years to avenge those who tried to overthrow his regime. But three years was too short, and he did not have that much time to train his troops.
In addition to Fengming Kingdom's own elite training, the surrendered soldiers captured during the attacks on those small countries will be sent to me and loaned to me as reserve troops.
Return it to him after three years.
At that time, both sides will station troops in special areas on each other's territory and open up the embassy area. It will be beneficial to both of us anyway."
"What about the Free Citizens City?"
Lao Jiang's consciousness stood up and walked to the window of Rogge's office, looking down. From here he could see the square of Black Hand Town, where many people were racing and jumping around.
You can tell at first glance that he's not a serious person.
He looked at those energetic guys who were always full of energy and said:
"After the wasteland map was opened, there are now thousands of Eden people here. How do you plan to use them?"
"There's no rush now."
Black Fox said very deliberately:
"Aren't the Eden people going to build a biological laboratory in the Death Desert to produce clones? I have talked to the Eden Intelligence in charge of this matter.
She told me that it would take half a month to complete the construction of the laboratory, and then they would start producing ordinary clones for use by players in the Wasteland, MAGA World and Red Moon World.
Once the clone inventory reaches a certain number, the attack on Free Citizen City will begin.
It was only about two or three months, which is less than a month on your side. When you were looking for your ancestors in the West Sea, the big events on my side had already begun.
At present, it is the stage of "supply collection."
Roger snapped his fingers, blew out a puff of smoke, and said:
"Assign various tasks to these Eden Forerunners and tell them to run errands. Run to the Death Desert, run to the Mud Swamp, or go to the Free Citizen City to perform reconnaissance missions.
The main purpose of collecting various useful or unused things is to make them familiar with the environment and rules of the wasteland.
When they are almost adapted, it will be time to fight."
"As long as you have a plan."
Lao Jiang's consciousness shrugged and said:
"Anyway, I don't think I have time to participate in your battle. The fighting power of the monks in this wasteland has been greatly compressed, and we are powerless .
As for the coordination of forces from other worlds, you can discuss it among yourselves.
With the previous battle example in the Red Moon Realm, I don't think this will be a problem for you smart guys. However, the ordinary soldiers and executors of the Free Citizen City are easy to deal with, and players can easily deal with them.
But Emma...
Her combat power, which seems to be black technology, cannot be easily dealt with. Are you planning to hire the 'Redeemer'?"
"Um."
The black fox nodded and said:
"I have talked to Miss Juno. She is very dissatisfied with the dark and chaotic rule of the Eternal Life Society in Free Citizen City. She thinks it is a great crime that disregards human life.
It also expresses the desire to expel the same evil from the wasteland.
There's nothing else here, but plenty of trash who don't take human life seriously, so we hit it off. She's happy to bring her companions and cooperate with my war.
They'll take care of Emma while we clean up Free Citizen City.
In addition, Mr. Tokamak heard about this from some channel, and he was very interested in Emma's silicon-based life form.
He promised that if he had time, he would come over to 'shop'."
"It seems that you have arranged everything, and the various steps are almost perfectly connected. You don't need me to provide any more advice. This makes me feel that I may already be unemployed."
Lao Jiang said in a dramatic and sad voice:
"Will you all unite and undermine me in the end?"
"How come? We need you, boss."
Rogge waved his hand modestly, thought for a few seconds, and said:
"How about this, after the battle of Free Citizen City is over, I'd like to invite you to cut the ribbon for our new city? And take a look at Emma's private laboratory while you're at it.
I think the secrets hidden in that place are too big for me to handle alone."
"Of course. After all, it's about warlike aliens."
Jiang Xia said:
"The Edenites were unable to track their movements.
But I think we can always find something under the secrets buried in the wasteland. It may not be a bad thing to discover a predatory and warlike civilization at this time. "
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
After tidying up his appearance and applying hair oil, Rogge, who was combing his hair in front of the mirror, was stunned for a moment.
He sensed something strange in Lao Jiang's words.
Then he asked:
"Have you run into any trouble that you can't solve yourself, Boss?"
Jiang Xia was silent for a few breaths.
He began to speak:
"You have been to Kumu Realm. Do you think the Immortal Alliance is powerful?"
“That’s amazing.”
The black fox waved the comb in an exaggerated tone and said:
"Those gods may have a loose organizational structure, but they are all extremely powerful. This is neither scientific nor magical. It's also because you in Kumu Realm are not warlike, otherwise you would have developed an interstellar colony system long ago.
However, considering that you have star arrays and can open up the secret realm of the small spiritual world, you are actually developing another mode of interstellar colonization.
Are you finally going to fight the Immortal Alliance? Boss.
I would say this is too early.
Our current strength is not enough to deal with that powerful force, but if the Eden people, who possess countless black technologies, stand firmly on your side, it is not impossible to fight. "
"The Edenians have their problems too."
Boss Jiang sighed:
"They are not omniscient and omnipotent. Their strength lies in their ability to mobilize large numbers of troops when necessary. Once they form an intelligent army, they can rely on the interstellar fleet to firmly suppress the middle and lower-level monks.
But they are not good at personal combat, and threatening and killing the powerful ones in the sea of suffering is their limit.
The problem is that the Immortal Alliance’s combat mode has never been a large-scale military attack.
The monks would not be foolish enough to wait to be targeted by the fleet.
We may not be able to defeat these monks in Kumu Realm, but if we really rely on the power of all kinds of strange spells to launch a raid, the Eden people may not be able to withstand it.
Besides, they are friends, and using friends as cannon fodder is not in our interest.
If we could find a group of aliens who are not afraid of anything, love to plunder, act in a chaotic manner, are individually powerful, and have violent collective power...
Then if something goes wrong, I won't have any psychological burden if I try to divert the blame."
His consciousness turned around and said to Roger who was lost in thought:
“We definitely can’t deal with the Immortal Alliance, but I can find them a tough and evenly matched opponent and let them consume each other.
We continued to hide.
Develop patiently until you have accumulated enough strength, and then wipe out both exhausted parties in one fell swoop!"
"This... Boss, you are such a bad guy."
Black Fox sighed sincerely.
Lao Jiang waved his hand modestly and said:
“I’m not a big villain, don’t praise me like that.
I tell you this just to say that I'm very interested in those Star Plunderers, and I'm looking forward to your attack on the Eternal Life Society, which may bring me a little surprise.
It would be best if we could avoid falling out with the Immortal Alliance.
But if those monks go too far and want to cause trouble, why should I swallow my anger? I will definitely give them a good result. "
Lao Jiang glanced at Rogge, who was dressed elegantly in a suit and was putting a special watch on his wrist.
That stuff is so exaggerated.
There is a huge dial with several small time counters on it, corresponding to the time flow rate of several worlds of the World Tree Consortium.
Thanks to the "time flow homeostasis" black technology shared by the Eden people, now everyone under Lao Jiang can finally accurately control the time zones of each world.
"Let's go."
Black Fox put his arm around his secretary, who was frozen fish, and kissed Asuna lightly on the cheek, looking like a couple in a relationship. He then turned around and said to Lao Jiang:
"Let's go to attend His Majesty Shi Rui's coronation ceremony... eh? Boss? Are you still there? Tsk, how rude! If you weren't the boss, I would definitely beat you up."
Lao Jiang ran away a long time ago.
He would never give these bastards the opportunity to show off their love to him in person.
——
Kumu Territory, Fengming Country, and the capital city.
The imperial palace is solemn today. The palace that was previously destroyed by Shi Rui has been repaired with the powerful civil engineering capabilities of Kunlun Square. The king's guards wearing red leather armor are on duty outside the palace gate.
Today is the coronation ceremony of His Majesty Shi Rui, but it is not as grand as the coronation of previous kings.
It can even be called low-key.
Except for some of the nobles who were allowed to enter the palace, Shi Rui did not invite anyone else. His country was still weak, with only three counties and a population of no more than one million.
There is no need to make the matter of ascending the throne known to everyone.
But although they were low-key, the identities of the attendees were not shabby at all.
All members above the senior executive level in each world system under the World Tree Consortium were invited, so you can see business elites in suits chatting about magic with people in wasteland leather jackets.
Or maybe he is an old-fashioned orthodox witch hunter who, at the invitation of the monks, would compete in swordsmanship.
Even the world of Eden sent messengers.
Yes, it was Lao Jiang’s personal intelligence, Miss Nia. Today, she changed into a floral dress that was very similar to Ruyue’s style. She presented the gift from the Progressive Federation to His Majesty Shi Rui in a very decent manner.
A personal security robot with the same structure as her.
Needless to say, its appearance is beautiful and elegant, and its internal firepower is powerful enough to help Shi Rui kill an army from the cold weapon era within ten minutes.
This good gift made His Majesty Shi Rui very satisfied, but made Miss Jasmine very dissatisfied.
With a gloomy face, he stared at Nia who was leaning next to his boss, suspecting that the AI was seeking revenge. Because the facial model of the AI sent to Shi Rui was based on her face.
“Go and rule.”
Old Jiang, wearing a Taoist robe, supported his elder sister and walked to Shi Rui. When Shi Yan reached out to help Shi Rui adjust the Tongtian crown, Boss Jiang also said to him in a gentle tone:
"Don't feel guilty or have any doubts. We are your strongest backers. Leave your legend in the mortal kingdom of the East and let the flag of Fengming Kingdom fill this land.
The world will thank you for it.
Then you too will be back home.”
"Um!"
Shi Rui nodded, he let out a long breath, and held the high-vibration cutting sword given by Rogge at his waist, which was shaped in the style of the Bitter Wood Realm. He looked at the sky outside the temple gate.
explain:
"Witness me, everyone."
