Chapter 1027, Elders' Council Conditions
The young official's body shrank back little by little amid the scoldings in the room.
The corners of his mouth trembled, as if he wanted to argue again, but he finally lowered his head, and his eyes behind the lenses wavered a little.
Wu Heng looked at the other person. He had a Middle Eastern face, a thin figure, wore glasses, and had a scholarly air that had not been erased by the end of the world.
Dong Dong~!
Wu Heng knocked heavily on the table twice, "Enough! Since you are asking for opinions, you should let people finish their words."
The room was instantly quiet, but suppressed hostility still permeated the air.
The officer on the left, the radical with graying sideburns, clenched his fists and said, "Chief, we cannot compromise on this matter!"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Once the Lingqi Cult infiltrates, Yama Palace and the Dawn Alliance will be like termites, gnawing away the foundation of our faith! By then, the base will only become more difficult to manage."
"That's right!" Another man slammed the table and stood up. "We have finally built this fortress on the pile of corpses. Why should we let them pick the fruits? The arms order for Noah's City has been finalized. As long as the equipment is in place, we can take back the military base!"
Hearing this, Wu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.
It turned out to be the case.
When he was at the Korean base, he told the representatives of 'Mawa Eternal Castle' that they did not agree with the missionary work of the Lingqi Church and they cut off the supply of materials.
The other party remained indifferent at the time. It turned out that they had already signed an order with Noah's City.
It looked like chaos was about to break out again.
Wu Heng knocked on the cone again and said, "Since there are so many differences of opinion, let's vote by raising our hands! ... Those who firmly oppose the spread of the Lingqi Church's faith, raise your hands."
Wow~!
More than thirty hands were raised at once, with determined expressions, while a few others raised their hands and then put them down again, looking hesitant.
The officer on the left looked around and sneered, "Does this need to be voted on? Those who lack faith will eventually be punished by God."
"Indeed!" Wu Heng nodded slowly, looked at everyone, and snapped his fingers lightly.
A clear voice sounded.
next second!
The water cups in front of all the people who raised their hands suddenly churned, and the silver-white water droplets turned into deadly blades, accurately piercing through everyone's eyebrows.
Puff puff puff~!
After a series of muffled thuds, more than thirty bodies fell to the ground with a thud, and blood spread out on the carpet to form traces.
The remaining people stood up suddenly, and the chairs scraped harshly on the floor.
Their faces were filled with horror and disbelief, and their eyes moved back and forth between the corpses on the ground and Wu Heng.
"Chief... Leader?" Someone spoke with a trembling voice, with tears in his voice.
The smell of blood spread in the enclosed space, mixing with the stuffy air.
The remaining survivors' legs were shaking uncontrollably, and some even had to hold on to the table to keep themselves standing.
"The base will establish closer ties with the Dawn Alliance." Wu Heng looked around at the remaining people, "The old rules all need to be changed."
The surviving officials' pupils trembled.
Now I understand why those who raised their hands should be killed.
The base needs to get closer to the Dawn Alliance. Those who just raised their hands are stumbling blocks to development.
"You will take over the positions of these people and enjoy better treatment and greater power!... Make your choice now." Wu Heng leaned forward and said in a serious voice, "Will you be loyal to me, or will you rot with them?"
Dead silence.
There was dead silence in the conference room.
After a long while, the young official with glasses was the first to move.
He pushed the chair away, knelt on one knee, and said, "I am willing to take you as my only faith..."
When the first person spoke, the others woke up as if from a dream. They stood up and saluted, and the voices of swearing allegiance rose one after another.
Wu Heng nodded in satisfaction and looked at the official with glasses, "What's your name?"
"Zachary is the current material dispatch officer, responsible for the allocation and record keeping of resources within the city." The young official replied.
"Sit here!" Wu Heng pointed to the seat on his left.
Zachary didn't hesitate. He dragged the body away, not caring about the blood stains on his suit pants, and sat down calmly.
"The base needs new ideas." Wu Heng suddenly spoke, and then looked at everyone, "I need you to take over important positions in the base and ensure that there will be no chaos."
Then, according to the information found in the study, the army, city defense and several important departments were all assigned to the people below.
Wu Heng looked around at everyone, "Does anyone else have any objections?"
"No, Chief!" the surviving officials responded in unison.
"Take your seats according to your official positions." Wu Heng said.
The room was bustling with activity.
The bodies were dragged to a corner and stacked up like a pile of discarded dolls.
All the windows were open, and the night breeze diluted the bloody smell in the air.
The originally crowded conference room now only had a dozen or so people sparsely sitting in the front row.
Some people kept wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, while others tightly grasped their pens until their knuckles turned white.
"Tomorrow, the deputy leader of Yama Palace will arrive." Wu Heng's voice pulled everyone back, "Zachary, you will cooperate with the work as the chief manager of the base."
Zachary looked confused, "So you...?"
"I will make arrangements along the way, but will remain in the Dawn Alliance permanently afterwards." Wu Heng said calmly.
But it also made one thing clear to everyone, that it was not just joining the Dawn Alliance, but becoming a subsidiary base of the Yama Palace.
The next step is even simpler.
Everyone discussed the takeover of the army, the allocation of supplies, and the control of public opinion.
Each item was discussed in detail, and Wu Heng also wrote down some of the names that might be dangerous, and would arrange for people to clean them up as soon as possible.
After everything was arranged, Wu Heng said, "Let the soldiers guarding outside come in."
The door opened, and the moment the captain of the guard stepped into the room, his pupils suddenly contracted. The floor was covered in blood and piles of corpses.
He immediately put his hand on the holster, but when he saw that the leader played by Wu Heng was still sitting in the original position, he slowly released his hand.
"These people were executed for treason." Wu Heng continued, "Arrange personnel to follow the new officials to take over the defense."
Then, he said solemnly, "Remember..., I want a smooth transition, not chaos."
His hand subconsciously pressed the holster, but when he met Wu Heng's gaze, he slowly released it.
The captain of the guards' Adam's apple rolled, and he finally saluted deeply: "Yes!"
The officials left.
Teams of soldiers moved silently through the streets, following the newly appointed officials to take over key locations.
On the city wall, the sentries were still standing upright, but the captain and the person in charge had been replaced.
……
Inside the office.
Wu Heng picked up the satellite phone and dialed Qi Hancai's number.
After two busy tones, Qi Hancai's capable voice came, "Is everything going well on your end?"
There wasn't much nervousness in his tone.
After all, this kind of thing of going to the opponent's base is not the first time.
"The leaders and core members here have been dealt with." Wu Heng held the phone between his shoulders and looked at the base's defense map. "A local named Zachary was temporarily promoted."
Then, Wu Heng narrated the whole process briefly.
After listening to it, Qi Hancai slowly spoke, "What do you need me to do?"
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Get ready and come over. We still need you to take over here. I am pretending to be the leader of the other party. When the time comes, I will leave under the pretext of reporting to the Dawn Alliance."
"I will gather the translation team and set up the administrative team right now." Qi Hancai said quickly, "The flight will take 8 hours. I'll be ready and will set off right away."
"Send me a message when you're almost there, and I'll have someone pick you up."
"Ok!"
After they finished talking, they hung up the phone.
After sitting in the study and waiting for a while, Glenda flew back first.
Granda said: "The military took over smoothly, but I couldn't understand what they said, but it seems that the handover and appointment have been completed."
Then, the remaining ghosts came back one after another, reporting on the takeover of important locations such as city wall checkpoints and armories.
So far, everything seems to be going smoothly.
As the sky brightened, the silent refuge gradually woke up.
dong dong.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Zachary pushed the door open and walked in, wearing a well-tailored dark blue uniform instead of yesterday's old clothes. He stood straight after entering and subconsciously stroked the corner of his clothes. "Chief, everything has been arranged according to your requirements."
As he spoke, he handed over a list with both hands, "Important departments have completed the handover, and the commanders of the mobile forces have all been replaced by members of the new party. Here is the list."
Wu Heng took it and looked at it, then looked up at the wall clock and said, "The deputy leader of Yama Palace is coming soon. You lead the team to pick him up."
"Yes! Then I'll go pick him up first." Zachary saluted again and turned to leave.
……
1: p.m.
An armored convoy of steel behemoths rolled through the main road of the base.
The skinny survivors huddled in the street corner, staring at the dust raised by the convoy with their cloudy eyes.
They huddled together and whispered about the flags flying on the armored vehicles.
Even if you have never seen it before, you can recognize it as the flag of Yama Palace.
The world's largest refuge, the base where the recognized leader of mankind is located, has actually come here.
The survivors' eyes were filled with surprise.
The convoy drove straight into the inner fort.
In the study, sunlight shines through the glass, forming a shadow on the ground.
Qi Hancai walked into the room in combat uniform and military boots, with a white owl on his shoulder and a two-meter-tall skeleton guard following behind him.
However, the guards were covered tightly, making it difficult to see anything.
The door closed, and Qi Hancai stared at the 'leader' sitting behind the desk.
"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize me?" Wu Heng took off his mask and asked.
Qi Hancai smiled and said, "You didn't say anything either. I was afraid I would say something wrong and ruin your plan."
Wu Heng pushed a stack of documents across the table. "These are the newly promoted officials. After you take over, this will be our first branch base in the north."
Qi Hancai took it and looked at it, "Will there be any problems?"
"It's okay, we can just kill another batch later." Wu Heng said lightly.
Dong Dong~!
There was a knock on the door.
Wu Heng put on his mask and Zachary walked in, followed by a translator.
"All departments are ready," Zachary said.
"Let's go and take a look together." Wu Heng stood up and walked out of the office building with Qi Hancai's Yama Palace backbones, as well as Zachary and others.
Afternoon time.
Wu Heng took Qi Hancai and others to meet all the local officials and introduced the news of cooperation with Yanluo Palace.
Externally, the two sides signed a joint development agreement, instead of this place being completely occupied by Yama Palace.
Wait until it gets dark.
Wu Heng and Qi Hancai returned to the office.
"I still need to play the role of the leader. You and the others have their accommodation arranged and you can live here first." Wu Heng said.
Qi Hancai nodded, "I have experience in the rest of the things."
Wu Heng also smiled and said, "Have a good rest. The environment here is not as good as over there. Just hold on for a while. Once you have made your arrangements, you can go back."
"Okay!" Qi Hancai responded.
After the matter was settled, Qi Hancai took his people to the prepared residence.
Wu Heng also arranged guards, and then opened the door in the bedroom and walked in with the ghost.
……
Come down from upstairs.
Due to the time difference between the two sides, it was already early morning on Treasure Island.
Xiaoxiao and Benny ran downstairs. The Queen was preparing to draw the materials for the evil spirit bone forging. Glenda was upstairs compiling the "Spiritual Awakening Holy Scripture" into a Chinese version.
Wu Heng went downstairs and walked to the next room.
Push open the door and look inside.
Xilagui sat upright on a soft red silk couch, her long golden hair falling like a waterfall, making her skin look even whiter.
Completely naked, the skeleton rune master was slowly drawing intricate lines along her spine.
Hearing the noise, Xilagui suddenly hugged her chest, but because of her big movement, a full curve leaked out from her arms.
"Close the door and get out!" Xilagui's ears turned red and she glared at me in embarrassment.
Wu Heng closed the door and asked, "Is it effective?"
"You..." Xi Lagui was furious, her gem-like eyes moving, "Who let you in?"
Wu Heng walked over and suddenly leaned over to kiss her lips.
"You are all mine, why are you not allowed to look?" Wu Heng stroked her red earlobe with his fingers.
"Hmph!" Xilagui turned her face away, and the tip of her tongue quickly swept away the remaining water stains on her lips, "I want to draw runes, don't mess with me..."
"I'll help you keep an eye on it." Wu Heng simply sat down beside the couch and watched the skeleton draw runes on her body as if she were appreciating a work of art.
The bright red runes wrapped around the snow-white shoulders and neck like vines, and an enchanting curse pattern bloomed in the depression of the collarbone.
"Okay! You go out first, I'll come to find you in the evening." Xilagui said unhappily.
"Not tonight. I'll go and accompany you after I finish my work."
"Why does it sound like I'm looking for you?" Xilagui glanced at him.
Wu Heng smiled, "It's all the same."
As they were chatting, the cell phone rang. It was Minnie calling.
After the call was connected, the person inside said, "Master, the queen is looking for you with the talisman ink!"
"I'll go out now." Wu Heng stood up and kissed Xi Lagui on the lips, "I'll go out first."
"Ok!"
Leave the room.
The queen has prepared everything.
Wu Heng took off his outer clothes and the queen drew runes for him.
……
The midday sun shines into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, coating the floor with a layer of gold.
Wu Heng finished practicing 'Evil Spirit Bone Strengthening', and the heat was still lingering around his body.
After dusting off the dust on his body, he sat on the sofa and listened to Philippa and Robert enthusiastically telling about the interesting things that happened in the morning market, while Minnie stood by and added a few words from time to time.
At this time, the door opened and the wood elf Shannara walked in.
He felt the cool breeze from the air conditioner, let out a breath, and then sat down opposite Wu Heng.
"There's news from the Elders Council." Shannella paused deliberately, then looked at him, "Guess what the result is?"
Wu Heng raised his eyes and studied her expression.
The raised eyebrows and the pride in the eyes, needless to say the result is good.
"I guess the Elders will agree to our request for your sake." Wu Heng answered cooperatively.
Shannella smiled, "I did agree."
She leaned forward slightly, her long hair falling like a waterfall, "But... there are two conditions."
Wu Heng raised his eyebrows and put down his teacup. "What are the conditions?"
Shannella said word by word: "The Wood Elves require... that the first Wood Elves hero trained must stay in the Wood Elves' territory until the second hero is trained, and then you can freely deploy him.
The second condition is that Treasure Island completely merges with the Wood Elves."
