    Kelestum is a serious and serious person.  He never looked down on any of his opponents or took an interest in anything related.  The purpose of coming to the empire was to meet with the supreme ruler and discuss key issues in detail.  From the moment he walked into this hall, he had been trying to control the anger that might burst out at any time - after all, the status of ordinary humans in the wasteland world was no different from that of penniless beggars in the old days.  Regardless of his superior status as a cardinal, as a parasitic with extremely high strength, there is no need to talk to a human without super powers.

    In other words, the guy on the throne is not qualified to stand with him and speak.

    This is definitely not contempt, nor is it unfounded arrogance - Kelestem does not think Lin Xiang is the emperor.  Looking at the many forces, large and small, in the wasteland world, it is just a very pitiful joke for ordinary people to want to rise to power.  Even a small town where refugees gather in the wilderness will become the supreme ruler just because someone holds a rifle or a grenade.  As for the weak who are unable to compete or resist, they usually die miserably.  Either they were tortured and killed, or they were kept in captivity and became playthings.

    As for Lin Xiang, in Kelestem's opinion, he was probably just a male favorite of the mysterious emperor, a living object that only showed affection and affection on the bed to invite favors.

    Of course, the premise is that he is lying on the ground and being ridden by another man.  This kind of imagination, which is completely based on experience, can indeed expand Kelestem's thinking space to a certain extent.  He even wandered around Lin Xiang's body with interest, maliciously imagining¡ª¡ªif his fat body pressed behind this beautiful body, what kind of sadism and pleasure would it produce?

    "Peace?"

    Lin Xiang couldn't possibly see through Kelestum's mind, but he could more or less detect the contempt released from the depths of his eyes.  He looked down at the cardinal and said calmly: "Can you tell me your suggestions first?"

    ¡°The Imperial Army must immediately stop its attack on Canaan City¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    Superficial respect cannot have any effect, and Kelestem has no interest in showing enough respect to a fake.  He raised his head and said eagerly and arrogantly: "At the same time, give up the original territory of the "Sword of God" that has been occupied by you. Restore the control lines of the respective forces to the buffer range of the Northern Family Alliance."

    Canaan is the most important stronghold established by the Holy See in the northeast of the mainland. It is also a large city with a population of about 60,000.  If old era maps are used as a standard, the actual coordinates of Canaan City should be located slightly northwest of Seoul, the capital of North Korea.

    (I don¡¯t know that there is any damn Seoul in this world, I only know Seoul.)

    The "Blood Angel" legion under Yang Hua's offensive is quite fierce.  Coupled with the sophisticated weapons and equipment obtained from the 6571 base, as well as Lin Xiang's diluted blood to strengthen the transformation of all soldiers, the "Sword of God", which only accounts for about 30% of the evolved people, is no match at all.  In all captured cities in the northern war zone, all residents were deprived of their original identities, turned into slaves, and shipped to the mines in the south.

    Barbaric plunder, ruthless looting, and complete closure of all commercial channels from other directions. Except for Canaan, the huge power of the Holy See operating in the north of the continent has been reduced to only the remaining members in less than two years.  A place in Canaan.  Under the critical situation, Kelestem could only ask for reinforcements from Europe, and at the same time take the initiative to come to the imperial capital, hoping to balance interests with the empire.  In this case, it is more appropriate to say that it is a change of direction rather than a negotiation.

    "Canaan"

    Lin Xiang¡¯s white and slender fingers moved lightly on the armrest of the throne.  It seemed that he was repeating the name of the place spoken by Calestrum, intentionally or unintentionally.  The expression on his face that was vaguely thoughtful made the Cardinal's suppressed anger become intense again - he attributed this indifference to his lack of ability to handle political affairs.  A male favorite is a male favorite and can never make decisions for the emperor himself.

    Calestrum even felt that he should not be here at all today.  No matter how you look at it, this is like a farce with no bright spots and only the humiliation of yourself.

    Damn it, if we were in the sphere of influence of the "Sword of God", I would have beaten this beautiful bastard to a disability with one punch.  Let him linger like a dog and then toy with him until he dies¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    "Don't you think this proposal is completely unrealistic?"

    Lin Xiang is also suppressing his anger.  He must try to perfectly control his emotions and strength under any circumstances.  Taking a deep breath of the slightly cool air, he politely said: "Dear Red"Your Excellency, if we change places and let you sit on the Golden Throne, do you think you will agree to the proposal just now?"  "

    ¡°I also want to hear your reply¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    Kelestum narrowed his eyes and replied with a sneer.  Necessary honorifics have been omitted from the speech.

    Lin Xiang¡¯s expression remained unchanged, he nodded, and said bluntly: ¡°The Holy Court must give up Canaan and withdraw from the competition for power in the northeast of the mainland. As a necessary payment to balance the interests of both of us, the Empire can form an alliance with you.¡±

    Kelestum stared at Lin Xiang closely, neither confirming nor rejecting.  The atmosphere in the hall became dull.  After a few minutes, he said slowly: "This is not the answer I want. Absolutely not."

    Lin Xiang looked at him quietly for a while and said, "I haven't finished what I said."

    "oh?"

    Kelestem¡¯s narrowed eyes suddenly relaxed, showing a trace of surprise.

    "We can form an alliance. But the time limit for making an alliance is only one year."

    ¡°As he spoke, Lin Xiang moved forward, slowly raised his right hand and raised his index finger.

    The surprise turned into shock in an instant.  Immediately afterwards, it immediately turned into overwhelming anger.  Calestrum's smooth and shiny face quickly turned red, and his skin tightened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even with the wide red robe as a cover, it could still be seen that his body was shaking without rhythm.  And those eyes that seemed to be squinting at all times also radiated a ferocious look that was completely driven by crazy anger.

    "It seems that there is no need for us to continue talking."

    He still kept smiling, looking very calm on the surface, but deep down in his heart it was as if there was a flame inside, growing stronger and more intense.  Even his voice sounded slightly different: "Maybe we shouldn't continue to play this meaningless game. I am a very patient person. Since I have been waiting for so many days, I don't mind waiting a few more.  Hours. Can I hope that the real Emperor can meet with me in person?"

    Hearing these words, Lin Xiang couldn't help but feel a little startled.  For a moment, the quick-responsive brain had already figured out what was going on.  Coupled with the various experiences he has had, as well as the concept of human beings in the wasteland world to judge each other's strengths and weaknesses, he can figure out, or should be said to understand, the origin of the resentment expressed by Kelestem.  at.

    He couldn't help but laugh, shook his head, and said decisively in a tone full of undoubted power: "I can understand your thoughts at the moment, and I can also not pursue the rude words you just said. However, such preferential treatment is impossible.  There will be a second time. The emperor is the emperor, and no one in this world can be a substitute¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª"

    Kelestum fell into silence for a moment.  Although he didn't speak, it was obvious that he was not convinced by what Lin Xiang said.  However, since the other party has confirmed the issue of "identity", it means that he must have some kind of reliance that he is not aware of.  It is unwise to continue to struggle.

    After spending about ten seconds to readjust his mentality, Kelestum spoke again: "Please forgive me for being reckless. I want to know if what I said before is the real bargaining chip that the empire can bring to the table?"

    He cleverly changed the concept from "emperor" to "empire".  In practical terms, nothing has changed.

    ¡°I don¡¯t like haggling. That¡¯s the bottom line.¡±

    Lin Xiang replied calmly: "There is no second alternative, and there is no possibility of reduction. Whether you accept it or not depends entirely on your personal preference."

    Kelestum¡¯s body was straight, trying to show a powerful aura full of religious authority.  Unfortunately, this "power" that once exerted a terrible deterrent on any other clergy and believers has no effect on Lin Xiang at all.  He stared at the opponent like a wolf that had been snatched away from its prey, exuding murderous intent.  Staring at each other, or should I say a stalemate, the two sides quickly exchanged glances in a coincident silence.  Compared to the red cardinal's fire-breathing eyes that almost stared out of his sockets and wished he could swallow him alive, Lin Xiang's black pupils released a gaze that was extremely pure, plain, yet as touching as ice.  .

    "We have a common enemy."

    Lin Xiang spoke in a tone full of humor and unquestionable determination: "I don't like the Skeleton Knights. They are the source of all troubles in this world."

    Expressing his attitude directly made the lividness on Kelestum's face somewhat fade away.  He licked his chest, which was oppressed by fat, and said in a slightly softened voice: "My understanding is exactly the same as yours. In that case, why can't we reach a consensus? Mutual help? Cooperation? This world is not inherently good.  Belongs to those damn black skeletons.???It is simply a symbol of the devil.  "

    "So, I didn't kill all the "Sword of God"¡ª¡ª"

    Lin Xiang smiled faintly, seemingly not noticing the other hidden elements in Kelestem's words, and said: "The number of troops gathered near Canaan City is enough. With just one order, they may launch an attack at any time."

    ¡°There are many ways to cooperate.¡±

    Calestrum no longer remained tough, and his attitude softened again. He bent down again and said in a respectful but obviously swallowing tone: "Leave a special area in the northeast of the continent, even if it is just a small area."  Every city helps to communicate between the Holy See and the Empire. This is the prerequisite for alliance and the best proof that we have changed from mutual hostility to friendship."

    "This is impossible¡ª¡ª"

    While stopping the other party's chatter, Lin Xiang's voice suddenly turned cold: "No redundant forces are allowed to appear within the empire's territory. Regardless of family armed forces or other independent groups, the only outcome is to be killed. Of course,  We do not reject allies. As long as we do not violate our principles and share common interests, as mentioned before, there is indeed the possibility of cooperation between the Holy See and the Empire."

    It¡¯s rude and absolutely unabashedly tough.

    Even though Kelestum had already decided to give in, he was angered by Lin Xiang's attitude at this moment.  Just when he was about to roar with great rage, he suddenly felt a powerful biological aura coming from next to the throne - it came from the periphery of the wall near the audience hall.  No, four or six paths, it should be nine paths, and they are still increasing.  After about five minutes, the number of breaths that could be felt finally settled on the number "twenty-eight".  Its strength is either eight stars or nine stars.

    The anger that was about to explode on Kelestum's face quickly turned into shock and shock in an instant.  At that moment, it felt like he suddenly fell from heaven to hell. The high faith and determination in his mind suddenly collapsed and completely shattered into rubble covering the ground.

    "Do you think, apart from what can be seen on the surface, I don't have any trump cards in my hand?"

    "Do you think that the most powerful forces in the world, besides the Holy See, are the Skeleton Knights and the United Doctors Association?"

    "Do you think that I am willing to sit here and listen to your long talk because I am really too patient or do I have to maintain a superficial courtesy?"

    Every cold word and sarcasm was like a heavy cannonball, hitting the depths of Kelesim's heart, exploding into a terrifying shock as crazy and violent as a tsunami.  His legs trembled involuntarily, and he even felt that he could no longer stand still and almost fell down.

    Nearly thirty eight- and nine-star level high-level parasites are already powerful enough to unilaterally contend against the Skeleton Knights.  Even the most elite of the Church, the Inquisition, which is regarded as a strong support, only has eight parasites of the same level.  Including several other cardinals and popes like himself, this number can be expanded to up to fifteen people.  And this Dragon Empire, which suddenly rose from the east of the mainland, actually has high-level superpowers that are twice as powerful as its own.

    This is not true.  I don't believe that even if we use the method of entering the heavily irradiated area for forced transformation, we can't have so many nine-star parasites.  An illusion must be an illusion¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡±

    As if to allow him to personally verify it, the small doors on the left and right sides of the Golden Throne were quietly pushed open from the outside.  Dozens of fully armed officers with school badges on their shoulders filed in and lined up in two neat columns next to the throne.

    "If I really wanted to kill everyone, Canaan would have completely fallen two weeks ago. The few troops you have left in the city are no match at all. Of course, killing is just a means to achieve the goal. Canaan will not be until  It is still intact now, this is the sincerity I have shown. If I refuse, there will be no possibility of a second negotiation between us. At that time, the empire and the Holy See will never stop fighting - "

    Lin Xiang¡¯s voice was sonorous and powerful, which made the panic of the Kelestim tribe even more panicky.  It was only now that he finally woke up - he did not have the absolute advantage as he imagined. He was just a lowly pawn who was looked down upon by the opponent, but who barely had a little bit of use value.

    I am willing to accept all the terms proposed by Your Majesty.  "

    There is no doubt that Kelestom is a proud and arrogant guy.

    But he is also a smart person who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows when to say what to say.  Ten thousand verbal threats are not as real as the real scene in the eyes¡ª¡ªSince the other partyHaving already shown that he can never be surpassed in strength, the best way is to silently comply with the terms that seemed impossible to accept ten minutes ago.

    Kelestom even had a very bad premonition that the Empire might become a more terrifying enemy than the Skeleton Knights.

    But no matter what, now, this incredibly beautiful young man on the Golden Throne is the target that he must kneel to.

    The Holy See can never make peace with the Skeleton Knights, and there is no possibility of negotiation or discussion between the two parties.  However, the Soaring Dragon Empire is different. At least, they are somewhat trustworthy allies at this stage.  As for how the relationship between the two parties will evolve in the future, I have no control at all and it is impossible to predict.

    The future interests of the world will eventually be firmly controlled by those with superpowers.

    The stronger you are, the more benefits you get and the more shares you control.  @.
