Elemental card king

The Blue Star Alliance divides the territory of extraterritorial rule into five major realms.

At the military level, in order to ensure the security and order of these vast territories, each of the five major realms has a defense commander-in-chief, who is responsible for comprehensively coordinating the plane defense priorities of that realm.

In terms of external development and exploration, there are additional military posts.

Currently, only Marshal Yan retains the title of 'Commander-in-Chief of the Plane Exploration Corps'.

now.

The entire alliance has already stopped its external expeditions.

The reason is simple.

The expansion of the territory has infinitely increased the cost of governance. Just conveying decrees and messages from the main plane to the border areas of the first realm takes at least half a month.

This is still a certain time, and the plane will rotate. When the trajectory reaches the farthest end, the entire communication silent period will last for several months, and in some extreme cases, it will even last about three or four years.

This is one of the reasons why government orders cannot be conveyed.

Taxes are not coming up.

The resources to open up the plane have been delayed in being put into storage.

The alliance will also need to help pay for the initial exploration costs.

Appointed extraterritorial governance officials are also vulnerable to corruption.

If you are a consul in power, you will naturally be very dissatisfied with this.

"Is this the territory of the alliance or someone else's de facto independent kingdom?"

In the past few years alone, the violent law enforcement agency of the Extraterritorial Plane Order Maintenance Bureau has personally arrested many local emperors outside the territory.

Recent days.

He Yun is even more aware that the Alliance Council is preparing to draft a proposal aimed at abolishing the military organization of the Plane Exploration Corps. This knife will undoubtedly cut on Marshal Yan's right arm, causing him to lose half of his military power.

As soon as the news came out, many people felt sorry for it, because the painful and tiring exploration outside the territory was only enjoyed by civilian card masters.

If this promotion path is cut off, it is foreseeable that the road to the public examination will become more lively.

The number of applications for the Card Players Association will surge, and there will be more people working for the major card giants.

Some people say that it was well abolished. I wonder if it was a rumor specially spread by the Parliament. This plane exploration army has always been secretly misappropriating development resources and has secretly hidden an unimaginable amount of wealth.

No matter how.

In the battle between the First Consul and Marshal Yan, the latter was undoubtedly as defenseless as a dead fish on the chopping board and was completely at his mercy.

Perhaps because of such a meek and acknowledgment of mistakes, the attitude above has also softened a bit.

With the help of carrots and sticks, some generals also began to resume their military duties, but they were transferred away from their original posts.

At least, Wang Liyang seems to have good news.

"Are you leaving later?"

Teacher He Yun looked at him and said, she was very annoyed when she first got along with him and wished he would leave as soon as possible, but after half a year, that sense of alienation disappeared.

"Well, get ready to leave." Wang Liyang said.

At this moment, Su Chen on the side learned that the lieutenant colonel had resigned as the special advisor of the provincial team and was preparing to leave today.

"Can I ask you something privately?" Su Chen hesitated for a moment and made his request.

Wang Liyang's eyes fell on the other party. After pondering for a while, he nodded: "No problem, let's go."

Teacher He Yun who was sitting didn't think much about it. She just thought that Su Chen wanted to avoid asking the officer about the spiritual plane.

She was really helpless about this matter.

soon.

The two of them arrived at the spacious and deserted corridor at the back one after another.

"Say it." Wang Liyang gestured.

Su Chen had already typed up his manuscript when he came over. He looked decisive and said calmly: "You must have reported my information about the relief fund."

Showdown.

After realizing that the meeting with the other party was likely to be the last farewell, Su Chen decisively asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.

The burly lieutenant colonel was still so calm and dignified, but he looked thoughtfully at the young man in front of him.

"What's the reason?" he said.

His tone was still so lukewarm, making it impossible to feel his emotions and thoughts.

Su Chen explained directly: "The relief foundation is just a private organization. How could it get accurate information from me? The other party said at that time that it was cooperating with the official government."

"But later"

"Everything completely heightened my suspicions."

Soon, he briefly talked about the card ban. In short, when the horse team of the city's card enforcement team checked his information twice, they did not show that he was a city contestant.

But a private organization was able to find out the details and roped him into the talent support program without uploading any information.

"At that time, I felt that there should be someone with a foundation next to me. He was the one who manually updated and pulled me into the talent support list."

What Su Chen didn't add was that after the match that day, the person the other party referred to as "one of his own" was somewhat suspected of self-destruction.

At this moment, with his extremely keen perception, he felt that a mysterious spiritual power had inexplicably blocked the connection between this area and the outside world.

No one will hear anything said here.

This time it's more or less self-inflicted.

"really."

Wang Liyang admitted it very neatly. Perhaps because the manual update operation was exposed, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so that a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"So what, talents should enjoy more resources, especially geniuses like you." His appreciation for Su Chen was not stingy at all.

"But if it involves a military force that has been suppressed by the Alliance Parliament, it will be difficult to say."

Su Chen's expression was calm, as if he had been told something trivial.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Liyang's forced smile instantly solidified, looking quite amused.

"Smart people do make people annoying sometimes." Wang Liyang shook his head and sighed.

For a moment, the atmosphere was inexplicably solemn.

Su Chen was not afraid and still looked at him.

"When Wu Qi sucks his gangrene, why should his soldier's mother weep?"

There is a price to pay for winning people's hearts like this.

The talent support plan of this rescue foundation is somewhat like raising three thousand dead soldiers, but the problem is that it cannot guarantee loyalty to the death at all, and this little benefit is simply not enough for people to sacrifice their lives for it.

Too little, and outrageous!

How can he ensure that those who receive the favor will always turn to the military and make his position naturally on their side?

Until Su Chen met Hong Chuanqi and learned some of the inside story, all the confusion in his heart was solved.

"Only the power of hatred can easily bind a group of people together." Su Chen sighed.

The alliance cabinet only considered the overall situation and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of card masters' families, while the military forces secretly provided support to these "war orphans" under the guise of the Love Foundation.

The probability of their success is much higher than that of ordinary children. If they are given support first and then the seeds of hatred are slowly planted, you can imagine how these people will view the Alliance Council when they become successful.

"So, in your eyes, the external factor 'X' that has caused the gradual demise of plane observation in recent years must be the work of some advanced intelligent civilization. So where is the evidence?" Su Chen asked.

If we look at it without any emotion and from a neutral and objective point of view, when the plane observatory cannot find an unknown main plane approaching, the theory of invasion by a higher intelligent civilization is completely untenable.

Doomsday theory has always been a widely circulated theory among the people.

Why does human civilization stand out among thousands of planes? Is it really invincible in the endless universe?

Many people have this question in their minds.

But just as Teacher He Yun said, major plane observation stations tell us that even if a main plane is discovered, it will be difficult to see the enemy at least until his generation is old.

"Is it possible that the data from the observation station is wrong?" In the silence of the other party, Su Chen took a step further.

"That's right. The major observation stations established on the outer borders of the territory have not scanned any main planes. This is indeed a fact."

"but."

Wang Liyang was surprised that the other party knew a lot, but at the same time he looked serious and emphasized very seriously: "I have fought against them on the border outside the territory."

Su Chen believed it subconsciously.

It has to be said that a tough guy who is strict with himself and never jokes does have more persuasiveness in his words than ordinary people.

"I can tell you the truth. The enemy is using the 'Leapfrog Strategy' to approach us crazily. The thousands of planes surrounding the alliance's territory are their springboard for attack."

"Now they are just their forward scouts, and a large-scale army is on the way."

"So it won't take decades at all, maybe less than a few years. Even pessimistically, a large-scale collision may happen next year."

After Wang Liyang finished speaking, his expression became more serious and cold.

One thing he didn't say was that according to the think tank's speculation, in order to implement such a long and far-reaching leap-frog strategy, military supplies would definitely be a long-standing problem.

Just going back and forth is a big hassle.

It is a taboo in the army to draw such a long battle line.

A terrifying conjecture emerged from this. They were likely to empty out all their resources. Based on this, it can be deduced that the main plane where the opponent is located should be facing resource exhaustion, so that they can launch such a crazy military. action.

"I heard that He Yun helped you inquire about the Lingyun Plane. I'm sorry to tell you that I asked someone to contact you. It seems that they have been invaded by foreign enemies."

After Wang Liyang finished speaking, he no longer looked at Su Chen, whose expression suddenly darkened.

"Abandon all illusions and prepare for war. You have a bright future and will definitely shine in the future."

"alright!"

"That's all. The words we just said are rotten in our hearts. See you next time."

"Remember, we are our own people."

The voice lags behind.

The mental shield around him disappeared instantly, and Wang Liyang's tall back walked out without any pause.

After a while, his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The lieutenant colonel just left.

All the questions and unsolved mysteries in Su Chen's mind were almost answered.

Inexplicable.

He was also a little disappointed inside.

If a real enemy is present, but the Alliance Council and the military are still secretly fighting each other, the entire social atmosphere of declining martial arts will be even more gloomy.

Will it win?

Su Chen didn't know.

In this wave of the times, all he can do is to improve himself at all costs.

Lieutenant Colonel Wang's 'own one' has made him realize that he can't put aside the relationship at all, and what the alliance has done does make him somewhat angry.

The scary thing is that the military may not be ‘good guys’ in the true sense.

Just this ambition and layout plan are enough to make people wary.

"I don't know when Aunt Jing will return."

After Su Chen felt more uneasy in her heart, she also urgently wanted to contact her.

The ranking competition is still in full swing.

The replicator Cao Zheng in the second stage showed his invincibility. After taking down the Meditator in the first stage, he successfully took down a Pharaoh as a defender, and in the end defeated the limit-breaker Pei Xingcang who dared to challenge. Win in one fell swoop.

Card masters from the three major genres of summoning, spells and combat were all captured.

The replicator once again proved his exaggerated and amazing talents to the entire audience.

"The Folac Province team is a bit exaggerated."

What's even more frightening is that the two legion boys in the fifth and ninth arenas are about to win three consecutive games.

"Something's wrong. I feel like Tang Nianwei from the Folac Province team is a bit exaggerated. This dark-skinned girl can't really live up to her name."

As we all know, in the previous stage, the replicator was not the seed player of the northern province team, and the first seed spot was given to Tang Nianwei.

Naturally, this behavior that seemed like a smoke bomb didn't attract much attention to her. After all, she was just a mechanical warfare girl with top sequence talents.

"broken."

"There's no stopping them from teaming up."

Everyone realized that these legion kids were going to form a team in the secret realm of Ancient Dragon's Nest, but the ninth arena was too far back and the replicators were too difficult to get, so the competition for the fifth arena was extremely fierce.

only.

The meditator, the first person to practice, and the other person with the first talent sequence who faced each other again were all defeated.

The young man in the ninth stage quickly overturned the three top sequencers and advanced calmly.

The trend is achieved!

The tactical combination formed by the three of them will bring a severe test to all the front-row players who are striving to compete for inheritance.

At least the entire southern resource point of Ancient Dragon's Nest will be basically monopolized by a single company.

"Xia He also won."

Under intense pressure, the Qingyun Provincial Team finally received good news.

"We won the eighth pick!"

After Xia He quickly defeated the two top sequencers, he finally faced the limit breaker Pei Xingcang. As a result, the third person from Jiangnan Province lost directly.

All the events in the top ten arenas have not yet ended.

At 7:30.

As announced by the broadcast, arenas 11 to 50 will be opened to the public in the five outer venues one after another. Those who are qualified are asked to quickly participate according to their own strength and positioning.

For a while.

Most of the spectators who were bustling with excitement just now left immediately.

Not long after.

The third pick has also been confirmed, Qi Hanhai, the singer of the undead.

Without facing off against the Judge, his sky-high price deck is simply invincible.

As for Gao Jun himself, it was too tragic. The favorite player who had high hopes for the championship failed to defend the ring and lost directly to Pei Xingwei, the number one player in the Jiangnan Province team.

He wanted to cause trouble for Qi Hanhai in the third arena, but failed to grab a seat.

And the fifth to ninth picks, whom he initially looked down upon, have already confirmed their quotas.

After going back and forth, this civil war king was actually forced to participate in the tenth ring, and finally became the tenth in a very dramatic way.

The front row position has been fixed since then.

Su Chen and Xia He didn't stay long and went directly back to the hotel to practice.

And tomorrow is not a rest day, they will have a five-day Secret Realm Resource Competition early in the morning.
