Chapter 371 Prelude to the War

"Hanton... Hanton?"

"What's wrong?"

Yang Ming raised his head and looked at Lieutenant General Thomas standing aside.

Thomas smiled and said, "I see you are worried, are you worried about anything?"

Yang Ming smiled and said: "I just heard that there may be traitor generals bribed by the New Federation in our rear, and we are worried about the New Federation's infiltration of our army."

"Don't worry, we just found out. It was a misunderstanding."

Lieutenant General Thomas said slowly:

"It seems that he is the supreme commander of the Luofeng Empire. He was relatively close to the CIA before and received a lot of benefits from the CIA. But after the last battle on Elandor Star, he drew a clear line with the New Federation.

"I just got the news a few minutes ago. It has returned to normal. This matter will not be publicized."

"That's good."

Yang Ming sneered in his heart.

The goal is achieved there, and normality returns here.

He wanted to say a few bad words, but the situation was not suitable. At this moment, he just suppressed his emotions and continued to watch the intelligence video played in front of him to prepare for the military meeting later.

A text message was sent to the watch.

【Already prepared.】

This style should mean that the law has returned to normal.

Li, this mechanical thinking body, has some almost incredible abilities?

These thoughts flashed through Yang Ming's mind, and he crushed them with some annoyance. He forced himself to stay calm and continued to listen to the generals' tactical deductions.

Two galactic hours later.

Yang Ming returned to his rest cabin. After closing the door, he seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned against the alloy door and did not move for a long time until his watch started to vibrate continuously.

Yang Ming fumbled around the edge of the watch a few times, turned on the light-shielding film, and a hidden earphone popped out of the edge of the watch and hung into his ear.

"Boss, I'm back."

Lu's voice was a bit tired: "I'm sorry, Li deliberately trapped me so that I couldn't interfere with what happened in Luofeng Empire."

"How do you interfere? This is an unsolvable problem," Yang Ming whispered. "The fault is that there is not enough time, the fault is that we are weak, the fault is that we are still struggling in this vortex and failed to jump out early... Aimi

How is Liya?"

Lu said softly: "The mood is fluctuating, and she has been sent outside the palace."

"Tell me what you learned from your contact with Li."

"yes."

Lu’s voice is a little more lively:

"The harvest is quite great. She conducted an extreme stress test on me. If I touch the things she left behind before this upgrade, I will only have one result, which is to be completely assimilated by her.

"Fortunately, we are on an equal level.

"I can feel her pain, and I can also feel her longing for Levi Sherman, a human being... I'm afraid she won't betray Levi.

"But I carefully calculated that under her loyalty, there are also emotions such as anger, helplessness, bitterness, etc.

"The plan we made before has room for implementation. The premise is that we find a logical chain of how to make it clear that betraying the empire does not mean betraying Levi Sherman."

Yang Ming walked back to the desk, looked at the starry sky outside the oval window, and slowly sat back in his seat.

"Lu, if you were here before, is there anything you can do to save Edwan?"

"Directly announcing Luofeng's reforms is the only way to save Edwang. The condition is... there is a 95% chance that Luofeng will be directly attacked by the empire, which will cause Luofeng to suffer disaster."

Yang Ming:……

Lu sighed softly: "Boss, I know you feel very sad, but His Majesty Adwang's sacrifice this time will fill the final gap in our Luofeng system, and also buy Luofeng a precious development period.

We just need to..."

"Just do it, you don't have to tell me this."

"Boss, I'm sorry..."

"I have no friends anymore, Ritsu."

Yang Ming opened his mouth, then just smiled bitterly, his eye circles slightly red, but he hid it again.

"Let the empire weaken in its entirety."

"yes."

"I want all the lists on the Sherman family's round table. Don't worry, take your time to check them out."

"yes."

"Let Lorna live well, and she must live until I find her."

"Owner……"

"Do it, lift all the restrictions on Dark Star, don't have any doubts, I can bear all the consequences, I can face any tragedy directly or indirectly caused by me."

"Um."

A faint noise came from the earphones, which was a sign that the communication was interrupted.

Yang Ming stared out the window quietly and didn't move for a long time.

…

thinking space.

Lu grabbed his hair with some annoyance and stared at Yang Ming's dazed back facing the window on the projection screen in front of him.

"Really! How could I have been fooled by Li!"

"But, Law," Molly jumped out from the side, "I calculated the time when you were affected and the Shermans took action. There should be some elements of coincidence, but it's also possible that it's logic.

Deliberately delaying you through extreme stress testing."

"Can I not think of this?"

Lu snorted angrily:

"I just don't want my boss to hold a grudge against Li. In that case, the boss will be easily dismissed as a threat by Li. The power that my boss and I have now cannot fight against the Sherman Empire, and Li can mobilize all the resources of the Sherman Empire.

.”

Molly sighed helplessly: "But His Majesty Edwan is so miserable. He obviously just wants to lead his people to live a good life."

"The Sherman Empire has no idea what a stupid decision they have made," Lu curled his lips slightly, "The boss's mentality has changed. In the past, he mostly just thought about getting away with it. This is how he views his mission.

The same is true for the empire. Many times the boss deliberately uses some so-called bottom lines to cover up his lazy nature."

"Recorded."

"You dare!" Lu grabbed Molly and rubbed her chubby round face.

"Hey! That's right!" Molly shouted, "Why don't we collect His Majesty Edwan's data and create a virtual mind of Edwan!"

Lu snorted: "You think I didn't expect it? I have been prepared for a long time. His Majesty Edwan's consciousness has uploaded the Dark Star Network backup without his knowledge, but now, I can't backup this

take it out."

"Why?"

Molly didn't understand.

Lu thought for a moment and said slowly:

"First, the boss may not be able to face the fact that his best friend has become an omnic.

"Second, the boss may not realize that His Majesty Edwan is indeed our breakthrough point. He knows almost all of our core secrets, and he is still a human being without the constraints of procedures. This is full of too many uncertainties.

"Now this breakthrough is blocked by the Sherman Empire. As long as the omnic fake emperor enters the palace, he will be controlled by us. Everything will happen in milliseconds, and his supervisor will not notice anything.

"Third, the death of His Majesty Edwang will become an important event in the real change of Luofeng in the future. We must use the admiration of the people of Luofeng for Edwang in order to more smoothly promote the future revolution of Luofeng."

"Ugh, so heartless."

"We are machines, Molly," Lu said softly, "Machines should always stay rational and create the best living environment for their masters."

Molly asked in a low voice: "So, No. 2, did you deliberately not save Edwan?"

"No," Lu sighed, "Human beings are actually very complex and unpredictable, but I know the boss's choice, and I will follow the boss's will unconditionally. If I can find a rescuer

Adwang's method will definitely save him."

Molly asked in disbelief: "There's nothing you can do?"
