#1704 - Let's travel together

"So... you asked me to come here in order to join the Zuo Lian?" After listening to Yang Hui's description, Mekipos smiled coldly. He was no longer nervous. His sitting posture became a little casual, and his attitude regained some arrogance and superiority.

"Oh, join the Zuolian? I think you misunderstood something, Mekipos." Yang Hui sneered at Mekipos, "Whether it's clearing out the [Visitors] and [Arms Dealers] or taking you in, all we need is a bridge, a bridge to connect with the Zuolian. All we want is for the Zuolian to stop causing trouble on Earth. Join the Zuolian? Are you qualified?"

"Unworthy? Haha, the Earth is just a low-level civilization that hasn't even stepped out of the solar system, while we are a large-scale cosmic joint organization that encompasses dozens of galaxies. In terms of size, scale, number of people, and technology, we all crush the Earth. You say that the Alliance is unworthy?" Mekipos still responded to Yang Hui arrogantly.

"Then why did you come to Earth? You also want to take the development data of the special machine and the fierce bird series. What? Take it back to develop toys?"

"This is just normal observation. The black hole engine of the Fierce Bird series was originally provided by us, and the information of the special machine was only taken back for evaluation. Facts have proved that the Earth is indeed a dangerous civilization. The abuse of force is a disaster for the entire universe, just like the Balma Empire."

"Is it suitable?"

The same question made Mekipos silent. If the Union of Zodiac was an advanced cosmic civilization for the Earth, but for the Promise Legion...

In terms of individual strength, is there anyone stronger than Yang Hui? In terms of territory, he has more than a dozen worlds, which is countless times larger than dozens of galaxies! In terms of overall strength, the Promise Legion can sweep all the fleets of the Zuolian!

"If you think I'm afraid of the Zuolian, you're totally wrong, Mekipos." Yang Hui calmly explained the cruel reality to Mekipos and ruthlessly tore off his face. "It's not that we can't destroy the Zuolian, it's just too far and we're too lazy to run. We kept you here because we thought you could have a say in the Elders' Council. We don't have the mood or the leisure to destroy the Zuolian for the time being. When dealing with invaders, our attitude is always to destroy them completely. If you really think we're afraid of the Zuolian and dare not take action, then just wait and see. Oh, by the way, you can't go back now, right? Do you need us to send you back?"

"..." Mekipos was insulted, his fists clenched, his teeth had bitten his lips. From birth to now, he had never been threatened by anyone from a superior position. This attitude was only shown to him towards others, not to others towards him.

But what Yang Hui said was the truth, which made Mekipos unable to refute it. The manpower and combat power used by the Promise Legion were enough to sweep away the entire Zuo Alliance. Even if all the cards were played, both sides would suffer losses and there was no guarantee of success!

"Hehe, for now, what else do I need to do? Isn't the final result the same? Why go to so much trouble?"

"So it depends on your attitude and efficiency." Yang Hui spread his hands and smiled. He knew that Mekipos had wavered. "If you can make the Zuolian stop causing trouble for the Zuolian and both sides can live in peace, we will naturally not take action against the Zuolian. We are not cruel and ruthless tyrants. What we want is peace and stability. Other worlds have had contact with foreign civilizations, and not all of them have been eliminated. We don't cause trouble, and we don't like to cause trouble."

"..." Mekipos listened quietly. He had no bargaining chips to offer now, so he could only be a listener and listen to Yang Hui peeling off his pride bit by bit like an onion.

"Oh, by the way, your brother has been infected by the native species, right?" Yang Hui saw that Mekipos's fists were getting stronger and stronger, so he increased his strength appropriately. "Your family seems to be a famous family in the Zuolian, right? Otherwise, how could your brother lead the team to Earth at such a young age? Now the mission assigned to you by the Elders' Council has not been completed, but so many elite soldiers have been lost, and even the commander-in-chief has been infected by the native species. What do you think...if this news gets back to the Zuolian, what will happen to you and your family?"

"Those old guys in the Presbyterian Church are not so easy to deal with, Yang Hui."

"It's done." After hearing Mekipos's answer, Yang Hui knew that Mekipos had removed his superficial disguise and had the intention to reach a cooperation.

"That depends on how much of a role your family can play in the Elders' Council, Mekipos. We won't send anyone to follow you to the Zuolian, but you can bring back some video footage, and you can also convey our ideas to the Elders' Council. All we want is non-aggression. As long as we can do that, if your family needs help in the future, we will provide assistance." Yang Hui also gave the conditions and price here. He believed that Mekipos would accept it.

"Haha, Yang Hui, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Those old guys in the Elders' Council have most of their brains rotten. Unless your fleet goes directly over their heads, they won't even look at you." Mekipos shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“But that’s not all, is it?” Yang Hui could see that Mekipos was an ambitious young man. Although he had an arrogant side, he was not a playboy with great talent but little ambition, who relied on the protection of his family to do whatever he wanted. He had his own goals and ideals, and still had the passion to fight in his chest.

Having goals and ideals means having desires, and people with desires have opportunities that can be utilized.

"you mean……"

"It can be seen that you are also quite dissatisfied with the current situation of the Zuolian, right?"

"...What do you want to say?" Knight Mekipos already knew the answer, but he couldn't say it himself, so he had to use Yang Hui's mouth to say it.

"When corrupt people sit in high positions, the entire civilization will only decay and eventually fall apart. In that case... let them move their butts. What do you think of this idea?" Yang Hui asked Mekipos.

"I won't betray the Zuo Lian, Yang Hui, so put away your little thoughts." He answered without any flaws, leaving no handle for Yang Hui. At the same time, he also implicitly told Yang Hui that he was loyal to the Zuo Lian, not the Elders' Council, and certainly not to those old immortals he disliked.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"So I said, all we want is non-aggression. If you can do that, we will be your allies."

"Haha, allies? Allies tens of thousands of light years away? That would be a great help." Mekipos sneered. They said they would provide help to him, but they didn't send anyone to him. The two sides were tens of thousands of light years apart. What was the point of such an ally?

"Don't say that, Mekipos. You know the situation on Earth is a bit complicated right now. We're very busy. When we're done with this period of time... I heard that Zuolian has some tourist planets with cosmic civilizations? That's great. Should we go there together for a vacation?"

"Wow?" Mekipos understood what he meant and finally smiled.
