The puppets' stage play

"Do you understand, your efforts are worthless, in the eyes of others you are just here to block my chess piece"

"Your cherished captain, your so-called determination is ultimately just a joke that makes me laugh. Your lives have no value."

"Those who rely on courage are like the sand and stones by the river. They seem to be indomitable, but in fact their efforts are in vain."

"Therefore, only wisdom can be relied upon, and this is also the difference between me and you..."

The adjutant stood there blankly, his expression numb but also somewhat enlightened. The Black King's voice was cadenced, and he did not look at the other person. There was not much disdain in his words, he was just talking about a certain reality as it should be.

"That's the difference in vision. You only look at everything in front of you and think you can get everything you want."

"So, I can stand here openly, but you have to listen to me quietly."

"And this is the price you pay for being immersed in your own world." The Black King's eyes were slightly anxious, but he did not show it. He was still blaming the other party lightly, and this was his mind-attacking technique.

"..." Desperation and madness coexisted in the adjutant's eyes. He gritted his teeth and looked at the other person with undisguised eyes.

"...How pitiful!" The Black King looked pitifully and couldn't help but sigh.

"That's not a worthless thing." A voice sounded, and the footsteps gradually approached.

A man, a man in black uniform, just ignored the surprised or indifferent looks of everyone present and walked to the middle as if there was no one else around.

He walked up to the Black King and looked up at him with an extremely serious expression.

"I think he is a hero. No matter what others think, he always insisted on his responsibilities." He looked at the adjutant. Although his expression was calm, there was a certain unswerving tone in his tone.

"Wang Chaohui, you need to know that your captain Han Zhiqing has definitely lived up to our trust. He has completed his mission very well!"

Adjutant Wang Chaohui's originally indifferent face suddenly twitched, his lips trembled, his eyes were full of fog, but he showed an unattractive smile.

"Captain, his death is not without any value. Even if everyone says so, I will definitely refute him without hesitation, even if I turn to the enemy and betray humanity..."

He looked at the visitor's face and spoke with joy, but it was not for himself.

"Thank you, Minister Li Jiang, thank you..." The adjutant was already sitting on the ground in tears. The surrounding team members stepped forward in silence, lifted him up and took him away, with some relief in their eyes. .

They saluted silently to Li Jiang, their expressions were solemn and respectful, and Li Jiang nodded in response.

The Huanguang Brigade led the people away. They were a little far away from here, with alertness in their eyes. They were standing still, ready to attack at any time.

The demon brigade on the other side also remained silent, quietly looking over here.

The Black King looked at the visitor carefully with a cold face, a dangerous light shining in his eyes.

Li Jiang calmly turned around and looked directly at the opponent, showing no fear, even if the opponent could easily defeat him.

"Is this your answer? You want to start a war with me!"

The Black King grinned, his eyes flashed coldly, and he was still threatening the other party. He raised one hand, which was covered with a layer of gray light.

"I said, I'm here to negotiate, 'Black King', you are too impatient." Li Jiang suddenly smiled and addressed the other party respectfully, but he didn't show any respect.

He remembered that after the 'protest' ended, Mayor Yan Sheng sent him to deal with the situation here.

"Li Jiang, when you go this time, you must first stabilize the opponent, make him frivolous, and make him proud, and then when the time comes, destroy the opponent."

Yan Sheng sat at the top with cold eyes. He spoke solemnly to Li Jiang.

"Mayor Yan, what about Lao Yang? He actually doesn't mean any harm..." Li Jiang hesitated as he thought of the other party in custody.

"Yang Zitao..." Yan Sheng said the name with a somewhat helpless expression.

"He was too bold. He openly abandoned his responsibilities, joined the protest team, and beat up the MPs. Even I can't keep his position as minister."

"But you don't have to worry. I will deprive him of his position, but I will also arrange for him to be a safety team member as a punishment."

"As for Congressman Han," Yan Sheng's eyes flashed coldly, "I will have a good talk with him, you don't have to worry."

"...Mayor, I'm sorry that we have troubled you because of our mistake." Li Jiang lowered his head, feeling relaxed in his heart, but his expression was very ashamed.

"I will erase this record for him. I hope he will not disappoint me again in the future. After all, I brought you all together." Yan Sheng sighed. Although he felt a little headache, he did not give up on the other party.

"...I will definitely work hard!" Li Jiang vowed to him with serious eyes.

"...So, I want to say, where have my people gone?!" The Black King's voice brought Li Jiang back to the present from his memory. He raised his eyes and saw a gloomy look on the other person's face.

"What?" Li Jiang couldn't help but be confused.

A sharp look flashed in the Black King's eyes.

"You don't think those gray robes leading you are ordinary humans, do you? What I want to ask is where is your sincerity?"

"Why haven't I heard from them since that white light? What on earth are you doing?!"

The Black King roared sternly, but his words made Li Jiang more and more confused. What white light? What gray robe?

There was no such thing in his memory.

Li Jiang's eyes flashed with confusion, but looking at the increasingly angry face of the Black King, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart. The most important thing now was to appease the other party.

"Haha, Baimang is just a weapon for us, and all of you guests are staying with us and will return soon."

Facing Li Jiang's smiling face, Black King couldn't help but close his eyes. He knew that no matter what the reason, they would never come back.

"What's your plan?" Black King closed his eyes and his voice seemed to be whispering.

"I hope the Black King understands that we need to discuss it before we can make a conclusion. After all, giving equal status to another race is a bit appalling. We must also pay attention to the impact." Li Jiang said with a smile on his face, saying something that seemed reasonable.

"time?"

"How about five days? This way we can do more..." Li Jiang responded casually.

"Three days! I only give you three days!"

"..." Li Jiang glanced at the Black King with a suspicious look. Could it be that the other party knew something...

"Only three days, and after that, without an answer, I will start a war to get everything we need."

The Black King turned around and walked towards the demon group. He opened his eyes, his face full of solemnity.

He had been talking for three days, but the other party's expression showed no surprise or panic. It looked like this.

The war should break out within three days. Human beings will never agree to this proposal. The people in front of me are full of prevarications and have no value in dialogue.

The Black King faced the excited demons with an unruly smile on his face, and walked towards their current residence while shouting.

'Is this what you want? Lord Messengers...' On the way back, the Black King looked up at the sky, feeling depressed.

Li Jiang watched the demons disappear at the end of his sight, and then the smile fell off his face. He sighed and walked back.

Adjutant Wang Zhaohui grabbed his arm with an eager expression.

"Minister Li, you can't compromise! This is just a delaying tactic for them to slowly plot against humanity..."

"There is no compromise!" Li Jiang interrupted the other party's words, his eyes sharp and his tone firm.

"We will not bow to the evil that threatens humanity. This is just a temporary truce. This war will not end."

"Wang Chaohui, as the captain of the three external teams of Qingjing Academy, you should shoulder this responsibility. Don't say anything about surrender. There are countless families behind you."

Wang Chaohui was overjoyed and didn't care about the other party's words, captain or family. He just wanted to take revenge on the other party!

"Your captain doesn't want you to be like this either..." Li Jiang's calm words made Wang Chaohui's ferocious face startled.

"Captain..." Wang Chaohui lowered his head and murmured.

Li Jiang patted the other party's shoulder and then strode away. He also had to make some preparations.

Wang Chaohui raised his head and saw the team members gathered around him. Seeing the worry in their eyes, his heart, which was originally filled with hatred, began to stir.

He suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, looked at the direction where the Black King and other demons were leaving, and gritted his teeth.

"Soon...soon..."

Kang Tainian retracted his gaze and chuckled, drawing everyone's attention to this side.

Gong Shoucheng and others naturally understood what the other party meant. Li Jiang's behavior was considered a violation to some extent. He was trying to influence the college's external team, that is, Kang Tainian would not care about it, otherwise...

Qingjing Academy has three external teams, Huanguang Brigade, Lingzhong Brigade, and Lianying Brigade.

Focusing on speed and explosive power, the Huanguang Brigade is the most well-known and famous external combat brigade.

The Lingzhong Brigade focuses on defense and counterattack. It is the first team equipped with top-notch technology. It is a test team used to test the capabilities of the machine.

The Glimpse Brigade specializes in concealment and intelligence processing. It usually operates behind the scenes, pursues clandestine operations, and secretly protects important people.

Gong Shoucheng was still thinking, but Kang Tainian turned his attention to Qi Xiu, with a cold expression on his face, which was particularly cold.

"So, Dude, do you understand why I'm targeting you?"

Qi Xiu looked back calmly, his tone extremely affirmative.

"Because I was born in a shantytown."
