Chapter 700 Dear Administrator, when you receive this report, the battle is over

  Chapter 700 Dear Administrator, when you receive this report, the battle is over.

  Just as Killing Dagger thought, when they launched the second round of offensive, Chu Guang, who was far away in Shelter No. 404, had received the battle report from the front line.

  Moreover, the battle report and the victory report from the front line were sent at the same time.

  Fang Chang played a trick. The first report was sent through the Niuma airship, and the latter was sent through the task system of the official website.

  Looking at the two reports unfolded in front of him, Chu Guang smiled and shook his head.

  ”These guys really treat me as an NPC.”

  But it’s no wonder.

  He has been hiding well, and the players don’t know that in addition to his identity as an administrator, he also has the identity of a dog planner.

  In other words, he knew everything long before they sent this report, but he didn’t stop them.

  First of all, the players did not violate the server rules. He never asked the players to be saints, but just asked them to pay attention to the scale of doing things.

  Secondly, the envoys of the Xilan Empire are really annoying. They always argue with him at the meeting of the sticky community, and it’s good to knock him.

  As for the third, it was the Xilan Empire that took action first.

  Although the alliance rarely takes the initiative to cause trouble, there is no settlement that has not shed blood, even the Giant Stone City that joined voluntarily.

  If someone wants to test whether their fists are hard, then come and try it.

  [Report No. 1: The Xilan Empire Army brazenly stepped into our warning zone, did not reveal its identity and opened fire on us, intending to create a tragedy. We counterattacked and responded to the port of origin of its action, Jin Jialun Port! ]

  [Report No. 2: More than 500 of our troops successfully landed at Jin Jialun Port, and have now defeated the Jin Jialun Port City Defense Force and captured the Governor of Jin Jialun Port! ]

  Chu Guang was not very concerned about the first report that he had already read, and he directly clicked on the attachment of the second report.

  Soon he was surprised to find that Brother Fang not only counted the KD and ammunition loss in the battle, but even helped him count the spoils.

  Although it is a bit suspected of bullying children, this battle can indeed be described as an epic victory.

  The Alliance Army lost a total of 11 sets of “Type 5” light cavalry and 1 set of “Type 6” heavy cavalry exoskeletons. A small number of players were slightly injured and not counted. There were no combat or non-combat casualties.

  As for the Golden Gallon Port City Defense Force, 1,407 bodies and 316 wounded have been counted. Although the supreme commander was not captured, its organization has been completely destroyed in the battle.

  At the same time, they stationed in the port area took only one morning to incorporate the port guard and temporarily formed an armed militia of about 5,000 people composed of liberated slaves.

  At present, the militia is stationed in the Lowell Camp with the liberated slaves, and players such as Killing Dagger are responsible for training. The

  actual control area of ​​the Burning Corps accounts for only one-tenth or even less of Golden Gallon Port, but the total economic output of this less than one-tenth of the city accounts for more than 90% of the entire settlement.

  In addition to the direct results of the battle, the spoils captured in this battle are also quite rich.

  The Golden Gallon Port Bank located on Tulip Street No. 1 has nearly 500 million dinars in foreign exchange in its vault!

  This money was mainly earned through population, animal husbandry, spices, textile industry and the sale of basic resources. Most of it was kept in the name of the emperor and managed by the governor appointed by the emperor.

  In addition, there are 30 million silver coins and 9 million Cr, as well as a number of gold camels and gold lion coins. The former was probably earned through the export of two-headed cattle and minerals, and the latter was probably similar, but the reserves were not large due to the low circulation rate.

  However, even so, this foreign exchange reserve is quite terrifying. If the Boulder City Bank had so much money at that time, it would not have gone bankrupt at all. What

  surprised Chu Guang even more was still to come.

  There were as many as 120 billion Xilan coins on the books alone!

  And they were all cash!

  Because the number was too shocking, he initially thought that he had counted the zeros wrong, until he confirmed it several times to make sure that he was not wrong.

  According to the players’ investigation, 10,000 Xilan coins can buy a pig, which shows that the purchasing power of Xilan coins exists.

  Because there are too many points to complain about, Chu Guang didn’t know where to start complaining.

  Perhaps the credit business of the Golden Gallon Port Bank can explain this strange economic phenomenon, but Fang Chang did not have time to sort out the business content of that bank.

  It is obvious that the players are only interested in the money in the vault.

  At the end of the report, Fang Chang made a summary.

  […We all agree that if the current situation of Golden Gallon Port is not fundamentally changed, slavery and the royal authority in the local area are completely abolished, similar raider attacks will not be fundamentally cut off. Therefore, in addition to trying the mastermind involved, our strategic goal also includes the alliance transformation of the region. ]

  Seeing the end, Chu Guang couldn’t help but smile.

  Perhaps catching the smile on his face, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, also showed a happy smile on his face, and nodded his little head to praise.

  ”It seems that your little player has grown up.”

  Chu Guang smiled faintly and said.

  ”Really?”

  ”Hmm?” I always feel that Chu Guang’s words are meaningful, and Xiao Qi can’t help but tilt his head to look at him.

  Chu Guang thought for a moment and said in a very light voice.

  ”I don’t have much hope for them to achieve all their strategic goals. I have never tried to fully implement the alliance’s strategy in Luoxia Province because our approach does not have a broad mass base in the local area. Ending the wasteland is the natural obligation of every resident of the shelter, but we must also respect the wishes of the people living in the wasteland.”

  The premise of unity is respect, and forced equality is another form of oppression.

  Since the alliance is going to take the path of unity, it is doomed to be impossible to take everyone to the new era, and can only take those who are willing to go forward.

  Even if one day they completely recover the territory that once belonged to the Human Alliance, it is destined that many people will maintain the life of the old era.

  However, unlike the old era, people had no choice before and could only passively accept the unequal fate, but in the new era, everyone will have the power to choose and refuse.

  Just like the survivors of Singularity City, as long as they promise never to go back, they can leave the “drug rehabilitation center” operated by AI at any time.

  Chu Guang was not very optimistic about the Burning Legion’s actions in Borneo Province. To a certain extent, they made the same mistakes that most shelters had made before – trying to preach atheism to a group of people who had the Great Horned Deer God in their hearts, and building a skyscraper on a piece of soil without a foundation.

  They did not really let the slaves stand up, and the so-called mobilization was more like a disguised “pyramid scheme”, and the “Avengers Alliance” organized by this organization had a strong smell of riot from the name.

  This is a riot.

  A group of slaves who have been living under oppression all day long suddenly got a fire stick that can kill their master, and it was a group of fire sticks given by a “god”.

  They did not die for their ideals, but for the new “god”.

  They did not want to end the rules that enslaved them, but to get back what they lost from others in an even more aggressive way.

  If it is not controlled in the end, the victims will soon change from the defenders of the Lowell camp to other poor people around them who are slightly higher in social class than them.

  In fact, he also has reservations about whether those players can control this wild horse that has run away.

  After a pause, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi, who was confused, and continued in a gentle tone.

  ”Of course, it is not ruled out that my lovely little players’ actual intentions are not completely consistent with their declared goals.”

  Xiao Qi looked at Chu Guang in surprise.

  ”Are you saying your players are lying to you?”

  ”It’s not called lying, it’s called drawing cakes,” Chu Guang smiled faintly, “We claim to build an ideal city in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. We lead people to do this. Even if we haven’t done it yet, at least we already have a Dawn City. And if I don’t draw that cake, there will be nothing here. Just to keep the survivors alive, a bowl of porridge made from green wheat is enough.”

  Standing up under the order is also standing up. They didn’t have time to take it slow, like they did in Qingquan City, starting from running night schools to teach literacy.

  If only the results are considered, maybe they can establish formal equality in that settlement, or at least establish a vassal that has to rely on the alliance.

  In a sense, they are indeed a group of mature little players.

  They have learned to use their own methods to deal with themselves and outsiders as NPCs.

  After thinking about it, Chu Guang extended his index finger to the holographic screen and commented on the report with a smile.

  [… Military operations against Golden Gallon Harbor are allowed within a limited scope. Remember not to escalate military conflicts and make legion-style mistakes.]

  Chu Guang thought about it and prepared to write the third “don’t”, but at this moment, the third report appeared in his backend mailbox.

  This report was sent through the information submission interface of the official website task system.

  [Report No. 3: Lowell Camp Investigation Report (Part 1)]

  Chu Guang clicked on the report and took a look at the summary, then suddenly smiled and shook his head.

  These guys are quite good at giving themselves buffs.

  Interesting.

  Guessing that the second half with pictures and texts would probably be sent via the Niuma, Chu Guang threw this report into the memorandum for the time being.

  In addition, Duke Galawa, who is “living” in Dawn City, might be interested in the first report that he did not open.

  After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi and gave instructions.

  ”Contact Alliance Foreign Minister Cheng Yan for me, and ask him to wait for me in my office in the Alliance Building. I will be there in about half an hour.”

  Hearing that there was a task for him, Xiao Qi, who was holding his chin with both hands and shaking his calves, immediately became energetic, and raised his chest with full energy to salute the Alliance.

  ”Got it!”

  …

  The next morning, in a hotel not far from the Legion’s base in the suburbs of Dawn City.

  Duke Galawa was enjoying breakfast while taking the freshly baked “Survivor Daily” from his humble and loyal rat servant Niyang.

  Since receiving the telegram from Captain Achim, he got up earlier than the chicken every day, just to see the headlines of “Survivor Daily” before others.

  The thousand-man team led by Captain Dirang should have arrived at French Fries Port in the past two days.

  If nothing unexpected happened, the airship that docked at the Dawn City Flying Port last night should have brought the tragic news of French Fries Port.

  If the reporter of the Survivor Daily was quick enough, the French Fries Port tragedy should have been on the headlines of the “Survivor Daily”.

  In fact, compared to the headlines of the survivors’ daily newspaper, he was actually more curious about the horrified expressions of the survivors of Dawn City after hearing this sad news.

  A settlement of thousands of people turned into ashes overnight, and the cause was just a small unhappiness of the empire.

  There is no more appropriate lesson for this group of arrogant, weak and rude people.

  Thinking of this, Duke Galavan couldn’t help but feel a sense of great revenge in his heart.

  Although the revenge was not so obvious.

  After all, for the sake of the empire’s diplomatic image, he could not admit that the empire did it, but those who understand know what happened.

  He opened the newspaper and looked at the headline, but he was stunned for a moment.

  [The new “crab” type underwater engineering armor was successfully launched in French Fries Port, and the submarine fresh water pipeline was pushed into the deep waters! ]

  What the hell? !

  After calming down, Duke Galava looked at Niyang, who was standing beside him with a hunched face, with an unhappy expression.

  ”Did you buy yesterday’s newspaper?”

  He always felt that he had seen something similar somewhere.

  And who cares about this stuff!

  What he wants to see is the explosion!

  Ni Yang was stunned when he heard this, and then he said with a smile.

  ”My lord, please look carefully at the date. This is the latest newspaper printed today. How dare I fool you…”

  And haven’t you read yesterday’s newspaper?

  Of course, Ni Yang only dared to complain in his heart before saying the second half of this sentence, but he didn’t dare to let the Duke hear it.

  Realizing that he asked a very stupid question, Duke Galawa coughed and turned to the second page as if nothing had happened.

  However, no matter whether he turned to the third page, the fourth page or the last page, he didn’t see what he wanted to see in the newspaper.

  It’s impossible…

  Duke Galawa was a little anxious, and flipped the newspaper from beginning to end, but still didn’t see what he wanted to see, so he looked at Ni Yang and ordered.

  ”Go buy some more newspapers… By the way, which newspaper was the first to report the scandal of the manager of Shelter No. 70?”

  Ni Yang said immediately after hearing this.

  ”Goblin Observer!”

  ”Yes! That’s it!” Duke Galava said hurriedly, “Don’t forget to buy a copy of that newspaper too!”

  Watching Ni Yang leave the hotel lobby, Duke Galava felt something was wrong, and suddenly he realized something, slapped his thigh and said,

  ”Chu Guang, you’re so cruel!”

  The innkeeper standing behind the bar looked at this guy with an unhappy expression, but he didn’t say anything and just lowered his head to continue doing his own thing.

  The guard captain Babulu standing behind the Duke of Galava was slightly stunned and hesitated.

  ”My lord?”

  ”Nothing.”

  The Duke of Galava narrowed his eyes slightly, with a calm expression on his face, but his mind was as clear as a mirror.

  There is no doubt that French Fries Port has been destroyed. The Alliance must have received the news, but they deliberately suppressed the news and did not announce it, just waiting for me to lose my temper and jump out first.

  If I really show that I know the situation, it would be like confessing that the French Fries Port tragedy is related to me.

  ”It’s really great… It’s really great,” Duke of Galava said with praise, stroking his beard, “I underestimated these guys.”

  I didn’t expect that the top leaders of the Alliance still have some tricks, but it’s a pity that they met an old fox like me, and they are still a little short of the fire.

  Looking at the Duke talking to himself, Babulu felt a little confused, but looking at the unfathomable smile on his face, he thought it must be a clever move.

  These big men always beat around the bush when they fight, but his brain is not as good as Ni Yang, so he can only admire him from the side.

  Ni Yang, who went out to buy newspapers, has not returned yet. Just when he was undecided whether to flatter him, the servant who came in from outside helped him out.

  ”Sir, Mr. Cheng Yan sent you an invitation letter. He hopes you can take an hour to meet him at the Union Building before tonight. He wants to exchange opinions with you on some recent events in French Fries Port.”

  Hearing this, the Duke of Galawa narrowed his eyes, and a trace of excitement and joy shot out of his eyes.

  ”Tell him that I am not free today. If he really wants to see me, come to the hotel where I am staying. I will wait for him here.”

  Hearing this, the servant’s expression was a little hesitant, but he still said it with a stiff upper lip.

  ”…Mr. Cheng Yan specifically mentioned that if you can’t spare the time before tonight, he will think you are not suitable to be a diplomat, and will cancel your diplomatic immunity and diplomatic status, and order you to leave the country within a certain period of time.”

  In order to be accurate and not to offend the Duke, he has tried to modify the wording as euphemistically as possible. In fact, the meaning conveyed by the Union Foreign Minister is much tougher than this, and the wording is not an invitation but a summons.

  However, even so, these words are still a bit too harsh for the Duke.

  ”Bold!” Babulu widened his eyes, scaring the servant who delivered the message, and he closed his mouth tremblingly and dared not speak.

  The Duke of Galawa also narrowed his eyes at the same time, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

  ”Interesting, threatening me?”

  Babulu approached him and whispered.

  ”My lord, this may be a trap.”

  The Duke of Galawa smiled faintly and said slowly.

  ”This possibility cannot be ruled out, but after all, I am the representative of the Xilan Empire at the Sticky Community Conference. If the Alliance still wants the meeting to continue, it is impossible to do anything directly to me. In any case, their inappropriate behavior shows that they are already anxious.”

  ”In this case, I will go to meet them.”

  He wanted to see what methods the Alliance had to force him to admit it if he did not admit it.

  At this moment, he was not standing here alone.

  There was a huge empire standing behind him.

  After speaking, Duke Galava looked at the servant who was standing with his head bowed, and said with a majestic look.

  ”Prepare the car!”

  The servant nodded quickly.

  ”Yes, sir!”

  …

  Alliance Building, Foreign Minister’s Office.

  Looking at the documents projected on the holographic screen, Cheng Yan kept tapping his index finger on the table, with a little headache on his face.

  The chain of evidence is already complete.

  Dissatisfied with the fact that French Fries Port took in the Moon Clan refugees, the Xilan Empire launched a covert military operation against French Fries Port. Since the main body of the attack was the thousand-man team of the Xilan Empire’s ace Gray Wolf Army, and according to reliable information, only the emperor himself could command this army, it can be indirectly inferred that this action was authorized or acquiesced by the emperor of the empire.

  He didn’t know what the emperor was thinking, but he felt that this “survivor force” was a bit crazy to treat such an important matter as a joke.

  Of course, the Burning Corps stationed in French Fries Port was not a fuel-saving lamp. It actually landed directly at the opponent’s port and went ashore to arrest people.

  What’s more outrageous is that they actually caught them.

  To be honest, this is a bit excessive. At least in Cheng Yan’s opinion, it is enough to block the opponent’s port and give a little warning.

  However, at this point, he can only accept this setting and stand on the standpoint of the alliance to do everything possible to put the pot on the opponent’s head.

  At this time, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the door.

  Seeing the secretary’s signaling eyes, Cheng Yan understood, cleared his throat and made a serious expression.

  At the same time, the Duke of Galawa walked through the door of the office with a calm smile on his face.

  ”Long time no see, Mr. Cheng, what’s the matter that makes you so anxious to see me? By the way, your desk looks good, I’ll get one later-”

  ”Duke Galawa, change your job.”

  Galawa was stunned.

  Not only did his steps stop, but the calm smile also froze on his face.

  Thinking that he had heard it wrong, he repeated the sentence subconsciously.

  ”Change your job…”

  ”That’s right!”

  Suppressing his throbbing eyebrows and anger, Cheng Yan stared at him unceremoniously and continued.

  ”For example, how about a job of coaxing children? I don’t know if you are good at this, but it is definitely more suitable for you than your current job, or go back to your hometown and be your landlord, and change someone who can solve problems instead of creating problems and jokes. This is good for everyone, whether it is you or other people in the wasteland.”

  To be honest, before the Duke came in, he was thinking about how to communicate with him in a normal way.

  But he found that this guy was not a normal person.

  The soldiers of the alliance had already landed at the Golden Gallon Port, and this guy could still laugh. Did he get information by lying in bed and reading newspapers? !

  The Duke of Galawa’s face turned red, and his murderous eyes stared at Cheng Yan, his lips trembling with anger.

  ”What do you mean? You…”

  How dare this guy insult him again and again!

  How dare he!

  The anger was stuck in his throat. Because he was too excited, Duke Galawa couldn’t think of how to curse back gracefully.

  Without looking at the distorted face, Cheng Yan pointed his index finger at the holographic screen and read expressionlessly.

  ”Three days ago, at twelve o’clock in the evening, a group of unidentified armed forces landed from the five-kilometer coastline north of French Fries Port and launched an unannounced war against our garrison.”

  Duke Galawa was suddenly delighted when he heard this. The anger in his chest disappeared, and he narrowed his green bean-like eyes like a winner.

  It was a close call.

  He almost forgot that this was a test of him by the alliance.

  ”So? What does that have to do with us?”

  ”What does it have to do with?” Cheng Yan smiled coldly, “The Grey Wolf Army’s direct thousand-man team appeared near French Fries Port. Is this your attitude?”

  ”This is a shameless frame-up,” Duke Galawa said without hesitation, “The Grey Wolf Army is the elite of my empire, directly under His Majesty, and no one except His Majesty can command them.” Cheng Yan

  frowned.

  ”So this is the will of your Majesty?”

  Duke Galava raised his chin slightly.

  ”I didn’t say that. I just told you that your port was destroyed… Ahem, what happened to your port has nothing to do with us. If something tragic really happened there, we deeply sympathize.”

  Looking at this guy who didn’t cry until he saw the coffin, Cheng Yan didn’t continue to talk nonsense with him, and threw a still warm newspaper in front of him.

  Duke Galava subconsciously reached out to take it, and looked at the paper carelessly, but as soon as he met the first line of the headline, he froze in place. ”

  Di Rang, the Thousand Captain of the Gray Wolf Army of the Xilan Empire: I cried, I just touched you once, and you chased me for two thousand kilometers? ! ”

  Di Rang…

  Wait!

  Why do they know that guy’s name? !

  Could it be…

  For a moment, Duke Galava felt his heart palpitating, as if it stopped beating, and the picture in front of him began to rotate and turn upside down.

  Just as Cheng Yan and the secretary in the office rushed to call for an ambulance, a crowd of people gathered around the newsstand in the suburbs of Shuguang City.

  Looking at the gimmicky headline of the Goblin Observer, the people surrounding the newsstand all looked incredulous.

  ”This is too fake!”

  ”Two thousand kilometers?! The airship would have to fly for two days!”

  ”Bora Province… Isn’t that where two-headed cows are produced?”

  ”Why are they provoking us?”

  ”The logic doesn’t make sense.”

  ”What is the industry committee for! Where is the news qualification review? Where is the authenticity verification? Can this kind of stuff be put on the shelf for sale!”

  ”Brother, look carefully, this is not news, there is nothing wrong with it being labeled as entertainment!”

  ”It’s interesting, take a look.”

  Everyone discussed it in a flurry, and with the idea of ​​reading it for fun, they paid for a copy and read it on the way to work.

  Finally, they squeezed to the front of the line, and the rat man Ni Yang also took out a silver coin to buy a newspaper, took it in his hand and flipped through it first.

  When he saw the first line of the headline, his sour face was not sad at all, but he was laughing so hard that his nose was snorting.

  ”Hahaha! They deserved

  it!” The fight finally started!

  The Duke was a fool, and His Majesty, who entrusted the fool with an important task, was even more incompetent and playful. As he expected, he made a big mess in an inexplicable place.

  As long as it is done secretly, no one will find out?

  It’s just making him laugh!

  What’s even more ridiculous is that the Alliance has so many exoskeletons that they can arrange a set for the hard laborers who move bricks. The military strength is so strong that it even defeated the slime mold that the post-war reconstruction committee couldn’t deal with. These guys are still dreaming of using the rags discarded by the Legion to teach these monsters a “profound” lesson.

  The only pity is that this report was published as a joke in the “Goblin Observer” instead of the headline of the “Survivor Daily”.

  Otherwise, it would be even more fun.

  After reading the humorous goblin news to the end, Ni Yang secretly said it was a pity.

  Not surprisingly, my dear Duke will probably try to speak up for the Empire at the Slime Community meeting to discuss the slime mold issue, and once again destroy the Empire’s dignity through a funny performance. Even the Legion has begun to dislike this ally who is more trouble than help.

  I hope my dear Duke will not do this. I will persuade him after I go back.

  Ni Yang went over all the sad things in his life in his mind to hide the inappropriate smirk on his face.

  At this time, he noticed the snot stuck on the newspaper, so he embarrassedly paid for a new one from the newsstand and stuffed the previous dirty newspaper into the trash can.

  The bad news is bad enough.

  I hope a neat and clean newspaper can bring that adult a good mood for the whole day…

  (End of this chapter)
