After a chaotic and bloody night, the sun rose and the sky became clear. The interior of East Island began to become extremely peaceful, but at the same time it also became extremely chaotic.
What is calm is the situation.
It is the human heart that is confused.
In the huge conference room, extremely noisy sounds have been going on for several hours. Discussions turned into discussions, discussions turned into arguments, and arguments turned into quarrels. Everyone seemed to be speaking at the same time, and countless voices were mixed together.
became noise.
No one can hear what others are saying.
Everyone is scrambling to express their opinions.
Worrying, radical, decadent, self-deprecating.
The conference room was filled with smoke. The thick smoke filled every corner of the conference room, like a thin cloud. The crowd with red eyes showed undisguised anxiety. Sweat flowed from their faces. Some people took off their clothes.
Someone was tearing off their coats and ties, and the roaring didn't stop for a moment. Everyone was trying their best to say something, and there was a trace of unconcealable rage and fear in the depths of everyone's eyes.
"I just received the news that Kijima Ryu was wiped out two hours ago. It was Li Baitian who did it. One person, only him! He wiped out Kijima Ryu by himself!"
A rough voice suddenly rang out among the noise.
The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Kijima flow.
Everyone present is familiar with this school. Although Dongdao is small, it has never been weak in martial arts. The development of martial arts is extremely prosperous, and various schools are spread throughout the territory. A few years ago, Dongdao had a
The three masters of the invincible realm, the Wuji Palace, the Flowing Fire Palace, and the three heads of the Hayate Sword Style are also called the three great masters of the East Island. The three masters of the invincible realm cannot be used by even some superpowers.
Yes, if we only look at the number of people and not the specific strength, the number of invincible masters in Central Continent a few years ago was only one more than that in East Island.
Perhaps because of the Dongdao system, they have always attached great importance to the development of martial arts and the right to speak in the dark world. In addition to the three major forces, various martial arts schools will also receive different resources and support, among which Kijima Ryu is more powerful.
It is a powerful martial arts sect. Although it has never produced an invincible master since its establishment, the sect leader of each generation is at least the peak of Thunder Realm. In addition to the sect leader, Kijima Ryu can always maintain a lineup of about three to five Thunder Realm masters. In this way
With their strength, apart from forces such as Hayate Yujian Liuwuji Palace Liuhuo Palace, they can be regarded as the first-line martial arts schools in the entire East Island.
And the most special thing is the location of Kijima Stream.
This is the martial arts school closest to Tiandu City.
The destruction of the Kijima Ryu means that the power of the Eastern Imperial Palace has officially spread to the vicinity of Tiandu City.
"Is there only the Flowing Fire Palace?"
A middle-aged man from Dongdao who was already somewhat bald muttered to himself.
"Flowing Fire Palace?! That bitch Shiranui Mai! She is a bitch, what can she do? What else can she do?!"
The roar rang out from the conference room again.
There was excitement on everyone's face.
Flowing Fire Palace was once the martial arts force with the longest tradition in the East Island, and it was also the martial arts force that has declined the fastest in recent years. But to a certain extent, they can also be regarded as the most prosperous martial arts force in the East Island in recent years.
The master of the Flowing Fire Palace, Miyamoto Shinichi, who was in the invincible realm, fell into the hands of Jie in the decisive battle in Tiandu. They lost the invincible realm and did not become weak to a certain extent, because they had an extremely smart young palace master.
Mai Shiranui is known as the young genius of East Island.
Her strength may not have been much at the beginning, but she was the first person to seek refuge in Tiandu Purgatory after Tiandu Purgatory appeared on the East Island.
Tiandu Purgatory took root in the East Island. First, he supported Mai Shiranui to the position of the palace master of Liuhuo Palace, and then began to devour the interests of Liuhuo Palace. With the support of Tiandu Purgatory, Mai Shiranui began to integrate the various schools of East Island.
Kuangtu Li has never returned to the East Island since the chaos in Snow Country.
The power of Tiandu Purgatory continues to weaken on the East Island.
During this process, Flowing Fire Palace was naturally suppressed.
But Mai Shiranui is no longer the Mai Shiranui she used to be. Faced with pressure from all sides, she gave up a lot of benefits and at the same time downplayed her connection with Tiandu Purgatory, which had been away from East Island for two years.
Over time, Mai Shiranui has compromised a lot, but the most basic structure of the Flowing Fire Palace has been retained. The connection between her and Tiandu Purgatory has become vague. Now the entire Tiandu seems to have become the Flowing Fire Palace.
the foundation of.
Mai Shiranui is indeed not a simple woman.
But now she is only half a step closer to the invincible realm. Facing the menacing Eastern Palace, what can she do to defend Tiandu?
A cruel reality has been placed in front of everyone.
In one night, Situ Cangyue and the Saints swept through the headquarters of Gale Sword Style and Wuji Palace, but the other masters of the East Palace were not idle either. Lin Youxian, Li Baitian, Bai Youming, Du Hanyin, Xu Chu...
.
These young people who have now begun to grow up and become famous in the dark world all entered the East Island at this time.
The two invincibles faced off against the two largest martial arts forces on the East Island.
And these young masters swept through all the famous martial arts schools in the East Island without stopping for a moment.
A tight night's time.
With the destruction of the Kijima Ryu by Li Baitian, the only martial arts school that can be said to have a profound foundation in the entire East Island is the Ryūhuo Palace in Tiandu.
"Attack! We must attack! Teach the East Palace a lesson and let them know that this is the East Island!"
"Order Mai Shiranui to block the East Palace!"
"Mai Shiranui has already betrayed Toshima."
"There are many other genres..."
"Are we going to use the army?"
Everyone roared at the same time, no one listened to what others said, they just raised their voices as much as possible to let others hear their opinions.
There were not many people in the conference room. There were probably less than twenty people speaking at this time, but amid the commotion, the entire conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Sample.
The door of the conference room was slowly pushed open amidst the noise.
A short middle-aged man's breath froze when he faced the smoke, and then he coughed violently.
Smoke and noise drifted away along the open door of the conference room.
The middle-aged man coughed for a long time, but no one noticed his arrival.
He gasped for breath, his face flushed, and he finally recovered. Looking at the messy scene in front of him, his flushed face suddenly turned livid.
"Asshole!!! Quiet! Quiet everyone!"
The middle-aged man was short in stature, but his voice was extremely loud. His voice kept echoing in the conference room, suppressing all the noise.
Everyone in the conference room focused on the middle-aged man.
All noise suddenly disappeared.
In the sudden silence, a man in military uniform stood up and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man: "Your Excellency, Prince Jing."
Everyone stood up and bowed slightly with respect.
In the East Island, the special warfare system has always been the exclusive domain of the royal family. Even the cabinet cannot interfere. The royal family has absolute leadership over the special warfare system, which is also the greatest power in their hands.
The twenty people in the conference room in front of me can be said to be the real high-level people in the Dongdao special operations system. One by one, they are all loyal to the royal family. Although Prince Jing is not the prince, he is also the person most valued by the royal family.
One of them is also the one with the highest voice for the crown prince. No matter how angry the current senior officials are, they can't help but correct their attitude when facing him.
"How long do you want to keep arguing?"
The livid Prince Jing did not sit down, but stood there looking at everyone with a livid face.
"us..."
The middle-aged soldier who stood up first hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Your Excellency, we are still discussing countermeasures."
Prince Jing's body flashed, and with a crisp voice, he slapped the middle-aged soldier hard on the face. The next second, his roar suddenly sounded: "Trash! They are all trash! What countermeasures are you discussing?
Ah?! All the martial arts schools in Dongdao are almost being killed, and you are still discussing countermeasures here? When you have a solution, let alone the martial arts schools, is there still Dongdao in this world? Ah?! Talk!"
The middle-aged soldier's body was whipped around in a 360-degree circle. He covered his face tightly and said in a deep voice: "We still have the Ryūhuo Palace. We can give the order to Mai Shiranui to temporarily delay her.
Live in the East Palace, and then we..."
"Snapped!"
The prince slapped him again on the left cheek.
While his body was spinning, the prince's extremely cold voice rang out: "No more! Mai Shiranui betrayed Dongdao, and now Situ Cangyue and the saints have arrived in Tiandu and are guests at the headquarters of Liuhuo Palace.
, Mai Shiranui personally invited them, from now on, there is no Ryūhuo Palace on the East Island, it’s gone!”
“We have other genres!”
Another person stood up.
The prince glanced over with cold eyes and found that he was the intelligence chief of the Dongdao Special Warfare System.
"Other genres?"
The prince's voice suddenly calmed down, perhaps because of despair, so he was already despairing: "What about other schools, for example? Can you name one that I have heard of?"
The Minister of Intelligence hesitated slightly.
A genre that Prince Ning Jing has heard of... was completely swept away last night.
There are still many martial arts schools in Dongdao, but compared to the famous ones, the remaining martial arts schools are just three or two big cats and puppies. At least in the eyes of the East Palace, those schools are not taken seriously by them at all.
superior.
"Your Excellency, although other martial arts schools are not famous, they are still a force. If they can be integrated, they can play a great role. With our soldiers and weapons, we can fight against the Eastern Palace.
"
The Minister of Intelligence gritted his teeth and said.
The prince's body moved, as if he wanted to slap the intelligence minister, but his palm had already been raised. In the end, he let out a long sigh and fell into the nearest chair.
superior.
"What is the use of those schools even if they are integrated? How many thunder realms can there be if they all add up? Can it be more than five? What are you talking about about armies and weapons... weapons... This is the East
Island! Do you dare to use those weapons that threaten the Eastern Palace? Who dares to use them? Soldiers...The cabinet is more lively than here right now. Besides those bastards, who can mobilize the soldiers?"
The intelligence minister wiped the cold sweat from his head and said nothing.
"I need the specifics of the special operations system."
Prince Jing was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.
The Minister of Intelligence opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally smiled bitterly: "Your Excellency, there is no special warfare system anymore. The Eastern Palace has swept away almost all our high-end martial arts forces, not even one family has been spared. I have just made statistics. At present,
There are still forty-two martial arts schools in the East Island, among which there are two peak masters of the Thunder Realm and five masters of the Thunder Realm... This is the high-end power in today's special warfare system."
As he was talking, his phone suddenly vibrated.
The Minister of Intelligence took out his cell phone and looked down at it, his face suddenly became even more bleak: "I take back what I just said, the two top Thunder Realm masters from Iaido and Flowing Water Sword Sect were killed half an hour ago."
The conference room became increasingly silent.
Prince Jing slumped on his chair numbly and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Attack! We immediately request the entire cabinet to attack and kill them!"
Another senior executive suddenly stood up and roared.
"You think the cabinet will be better off than we are?"
Prince Jing said numbly: "We lost three fleets overnight, all of which fell into the hands of the Central Continent Frontier Corps, including the Giant Whale. All the weapon systems on the East Island were out of control not long ago.
state, but all operational authorities are in chaos, and have been completely rewritten into gibberish to various extents. The most important thing for the cabinet now is to mobilize the army to make up for the vacancies of the three fleets. How can it have the energy to deal with the Eastern Palace?"
Dead silence
Prince Zhongjing sighed.
The most important power of the royal family is concentrated within the special operations system.
But overnight, the entire special operations system was almost completely destroyed by the East Palace. All the power of the royal family was completely evaporated, and there was no hope of a comeback in a short time. Everyone present knew what this meant.
.
The influence of the royal family has been greatly weakened. Even these people here have become polished commanders, and Dongdao will also lose the right to speak in the dark world. Their every move may even appear in the sight of the Eastern Palace in the future.
inside.
Dongdao is still the Dongdao of Dongdao people, but from today on, it can also be regarded as the Dongdao of Donghuang Palace.
"Maybe... we can talk to Li Tianlan?"
The intelligence minister said hesitantly.
"Are you crazy?! Li Tianlan is different from Li Kuangtu, he is from Central Continent!"
"People from Central Continent? Are you sure?"
The intelligence minister sneered: "The Eastern Palace is now in Tiannan."
"okay!"
Prince Jing said with a gloomy face: "Shut up, everyone. My father has decided to go to Tiannan to visit His Majesty Li Tianlan in three days."
The conference room suddenly became dead silent.
Everyone looked at Prince Jing in confusion, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The corners of Prince Jing's mouth twitched, but his heart was full of bitterness.
"We want to cooperate with the Eastern Palace?"
The middle-aged soldier who had been slapped twice looked angry and unwilling.
cooperate...
The prince smiled bitterly.
To be precise, this is just the current unilateral wish of the royal family.
In this incident, the royal family has been calm as never before, so they know exactly what the current situation is.
It is completely unstoppable for the East Palace to enter the East Island and occupy the dark world of the East Island.
Yagyu Kuraizumi and Tiankai Wuji fell at the same time in Beihai. The two major martial arts schools were swept away. All powerful martial arts forces were also swept away. The entire East Island was in an unprecedented weak state in terms of masters. It would take at least one generation for East Island Martial Arts to recover its strength.
It took even longer, and in this decisive battle in the North Sea, the military suffered equally heavy losses. The most important thing is that until now, Dongdao has no idea what happened last night.
What they found was that all the weapon control systems had been stuffed with a lot of garbled code.
communication...
As for communications, until now, no one can even say with certainty what went wrong with the communications last night.
Because in everyone's opinion, the communication last night was very normal. The general headquarters can contact any department, any fleet, and even any small fleet unit, and the reports and commands of each department can be contacted.
, there is no problem with feedback.
The scenes they saw were also very real.
The most normal communication in each department has no abnormalities at all, but it silently covers up all the truth.
No one knows what's going on.
Without knowing this, Dongdao didn't dare to do anything.
If such a method were used again, no one dares to imagine what consequences it would have.
So at this stage, the entire East Island will be cautiously on the defensive, and the cabinet will not dare to use its strength to support the royal family. The right to speak in the dark world? No matter how reluctant you are to give up, you can only give up now.
In the following time, all the development of Donghuang Palace in Dongdao can be said to be almost unscrupulous, and there is no need to have any concerns at all.
The royal family can't stop this.
So all they can think of is cooperation.
This is their unilateral wish.
In fact, Prince Jing had received notice from the royal family before his arrival.
His father personally contacted the Donghuang Palace, successfully communicated with Li Tianlan, and sincerely invited His Majesty the Donghuang to come to Dongdao for a talk.
But the result was not pretty.
Because from beginning to end, Li Tianlan only said four words.
I don't have time.
The phone call was hung up very simply.
The royal family was stunned and did not dare to fight a second time.
The purpose of Prince Jing's coming here now is to keep an eye on these high-level officials of the Dongdao Special Warfare System and prevent these idiots from doing anything extreme. To be precise, he wants to prevent them from studying how to deal with the Donghuang Palace.
"Now, it's time for us to show our sincerity."
Prince Jing said calmly. He did not say that the Eastern Palace was not interested in the so-called cooperation. No one knows whether the cooperation can be successful, but the other party has already made a gesture. Unless the royal family turns its back, it must always show sincerity.
As for falling out...
How do they have this strength now?
Everyone who heard this sentence had their expressions distorted.
Sincerity...
How can we show sincerity when the other party has already hit us right under our noses? Do we need to close our eyes and turn a blind eye?!
A grumpy special operations general yelled this directly.
"Ignore?!"
The prince sneered: "If you just ignore it, what kind of sincerity is it? The royal family wants everyone here to express their opinions. I hope you can send a few representatives to cooperate with the East Palace's actions. I know you don't
Willing, in fact no one is willing, but before we have the strength to regain the right to speak in the dark world, I don’t want anyone to do anything stupid, do you understand what I mean?”
Quiet.
It was almost deathly quiet.
In the smoky conference room, everyone's face was flushed, with anger and unwillingness, and most people's faces even slowly turned purple.
But no one spoke.
It’s not that I don’t want to say it.
But I don't know what to say.
"That's all I have to say."
Prince Jing said calmly: "We need to send two representatives to cooperate with the actions of the East Palace. Everyone, who of you is willing to go?"
