Chapter 333
333 The birth of the tree of God
The only evidence was alongso’s head, which had completely disappeared. There was no more evidence to prove that it was link who had done it.
Link’s system had received three notifications.
[the Heavenly King of the Western Region, netherworld, under Moroes, has submitted to you. Initial loyalty: 77]
[the Heavenly King of the northern region, Mad Lion, under the command of Moroes, has submitted to you. Initial loyalty: 70]
[the heavenly king constellation of the southern region under moroes has pledged allegiance to you. initial loyalty: 85]
The initial loyalty of the three of them was relatively high among the NPCs who had surrendered.
To Link’s surprise, the short-haired Yomi seemed to owe her a million dollars. Despite her reluctance, she was still quite loyal to link. Star constellation’s loyalty was as high as 85 points.
Link could only agree that the more cultured a person was, the more they would know how to weigh the pros and cons, and the more loyal they would be.
to put it bluntly, this was called sailing with the wind, but to put it nicely, this was a fine bird choosing a good tree.
The system’s loyalty couldn’t lie. From their loyalty, it could be seen that the three of them were smart people.
“Then you can start now.”
The three of them raised their hands in obeisance and left after receiving the order.
Link sighed as he watched the three of them leave.
Compared to the previous mission evaluation, if he wanted to achieve a perfect evaluation, he would have to kill all three Heavenly Kings. Although the mission rating was one level lower, it saved link a lot of effort in managing the Moroes group. At the same time, he gained three powerful subordinates. This round of counteracting the damage done, he earned more than he lost.
Lin Ke took out his phone and sent a message to the three spies.
[ the completion of project Inferno has officially begun. In addition, I have sent three strong reinforcements to help you. Please complete the mission successfully while ensuring your own safety. You are more precious wealth than the three major forces. ]
link saw thick smoke rising from the road and the ground shaking. he was dumbfounded.
” i didn’t expect the military to start taking action so soon after the news came out. ”
Tanks, armored vehicles, and troops were all driven to the streets to maintain order.
At this moment, the Shudu military was in a terrible state. The Supreme Leader had been killed on the plane for no reason. No one on the plane survived. Even the leader’s head had been cut off. This news was undoubtedly a huge earthquake for the freedom Federation. It just so happened that the four commanders had gathered in the afternoon to discuss the consequences of the theft of the energy pillar in the laboratory in Area 1 of Shandu. As a result, they received a notice from Dragon City as soon as the meeting ended, saying that there were no survivors on the plane that entered the country.
commander wimbledon, who was in charge of the air force, immediately ordered someone to lead the special forces personnel to dragon city for the handover of the body and the inspection of the accident.
At this time of internal and external troubles, the four commanders collectively decided to exercise military control over Shandu to prevent the machinery faith and wasteland gang outside of Shandu from making any moves.
Suddenly, Lin Ke’s phone rang. It was Li Zijun.
Lin Ke was curious as to why Li Zijun still had time to call him when the military was so busy.
“Hey, link. You know about general alongso, right?”
Link replied as he walked along the slums ‘main road,”I already know.”
” the general was assassinated and died. now the entire shandu is in a state of emergency. the whole city will be under military control. i’m calling to pass on the four commanders ‘orders. the gangs in the slums better not make any moves these days. otherwise, if it’s regarded as a riot, the military has the right to open fire unconditionally, which can easily cause accidental injuries. ”
after li zijun finished speaking, link was silent for a moment before saying, it seems like you haven’t received the latest news.
“What?” Li Zijun did not understand what link meant. At this moment, Li Zijun’s voice came from the phone again. wait a moment. There’s an urgent message. I have to hear it first.
A moment later, link heard some noise. Someone picked up a phone.
“you killed moroes?” Li Zijun’s tone was extremely surprised. At this juncture, Moroes ‘death would cause the entire sand to collapse completely. This action was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
“Yes, I just came out of Platinum Hotel. However, I have good news that I think you should hear.”
Li Zijun laughed dryly. He finally knew what it meant to be in a hurry.
the machinery faith and the wasteland gang had joined forces to steal the energy pillar of the laboratory in area 1 of shandu. alongso, the top leader of shandu’s military and government, had been assassinated on the plane. now, even the minister of economy of shandu, moros, had died. for a time, the military, government, and economy were at risk of collapse. A great economic depression that would engulf the entire Shandu was rapidly brewing.
“In this situation, is there any good news?”
Link’s eyes searched the road and quickly found a Jeep parked by the side of the road. He walked over and spoke to Li Zijun on the phone, ” “Moroes has three Heavenly Kings under me. They will soon integrate the business of Moroes group, so there is no need to worry about an economic depression in Shandu. In addition, you can rest assured in the slums. I’ve already arranged for three undercover agents to close the net. From now on, there won’t be so many complicated forces and fights in the slums of Shandu. From now on, there will only be one Qilin Hall in the slums.”
Link’s voice was not loud, but the content of his words directly shocked Li Zijun into a daze, and her mind went blank.
link was actually trying to accomplish something that had never been done in the past 40 years-unifying the entire slums.
Not only that, but he also took over the entire Moroes group and became the biggest capitalist in Shandu.
The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. After half a minute, he said, ” “If that’s the case, our workload will be much smaller. I’ll immediately report this to the military headquarters and wait for their response. However, I personally suggest that we wrap up the operation quickly and quietly. We should try to end it before the military forces spread out to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Li Zijun was still giving link advice as a friend. It seemed that they were indeed friends.
“Also, what’s the situation with the military? Today’s incident was too sudden, so the four commanders could still work together. However, after the situation calms down in a few days, the four people’s power will be uneven, and the situation will easily collapse.”
Li Zijun was silent for a moment. the commander has indeed considered this issue today. However, now that the four parties are evenly matched, there is a high probability that the military Committee will be established first. All the decisions will be passed down through the military Committee.
Hearing this, Lin Ke suddenly felt that there was room for manipulation. However, Moroes group had yet to be pocketed, so it was useless to say that. It would be better to wait for the future to stabilize before they appeared as a surprise force.
After hanging up, link knocked on the window of the off-road vehicle.
One of the gangsters with afro hair took off his headphones and rolled down the window. He was about to curse when he suddenly saw Link’s face and the gun pointed at his head.
“You recognize me?”
the afro guy immediately nodded. who didn’t know that he was the fastest rising figure in the sand city?
“I’m temporarily commandeering your car. Come to Qilin Hall to get it tomorrow.” With that, Lin Ke grabbed the thug’s sleeve and dragged him out of the car. Link immediately saw the tattoo on the guy’s body, which represented the 14k gang under the hidden Alliance.
the man was so scared that his face turned pale. he didn’t dare to ask for a car.
“You can just drive this car. You don’t have to return it.”
“How can I not return it? Come to Qilin Hall at 12 o ‘clock sharp tomorrow. If you don’t come, I’ll go to 14k to find you.”
with that, link stepped on the gas and sped off.
Link turned on the car radio and immediately heard the news about the death of general alongso, the Supreme Leader of Shandu.
Almost all the media outlets were reporting on the incident. Some of the media outlets even found out about Moroes ‘death.
Today was an unusual day for the entire Shandu.
In the morning, it was the Munn Kingdom’s commander’s son’s wedding. In the afternoon, the machinery faith and the wasteland gang stole the energy pillar from the laboratory in District 1. In the afternoon, news of the death of alongso, the Supreme Commander of Sand City, and Moroes, the financial tycoon, came. Link was on the top wanted list of The Platinum Hotel. The entire Sand City entered a state of emergency. Troops were stationed in the city and a military curfew was imposed.
Link listened to the analysis of the sand city’s future on the radio as he drove to the weeping Valley.
In the past, when the Three Kings were co-existing, Shandu was known for its freedom of speech.
Now that the two kings who had set the military and economic rules had died, the discussion about the situation in Shandu had become even more heated.
Link flipped through a few radio stations. The hosts and experts all felt pessimistic.
Whether it was general alongso or the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Moroes, the two men were known for their iron-handed tactics. Now that the two of them were dead, there was no more convincing leader within the freedom Federation, and Shudu’s right to speak would be reduced. To the outside world, the death of the two leaders of Shandu would definitely cause a backlash from the machinery faith and the wasteland gang, and there might even be a lot of friction and probing at the border. There was also the complicated structure of the sand City, the fragmented military power, the chaos in the slums, and whether the king of the underground world, Derek, would take the opportunity to expand his power.
this became a topic of concern for everyone.
Not long after link drove out of the sand City, he received another call from Li Zijun.
the four commanders want to support the unification of the unstable slums at this critical moment. They are happy to see the economic lifeline, Moroes group, smoothly transition to power. The military will make it easier for them in terms of procedures. After conveying the orders of the military Commission, Li Zijun heaved a sigh of relief and resumed her usual tone of communication. now that all the troops in the slums have been withdrawn, I’ll leave the stability of the slums to you.
“Yes, it’s a win-win situation. Previously, the machinery faith and the wasteland gang had stolen the energy pillars. If they knew that alongso and Moroes were dead, they would definitely not let go of this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity and would definitely make a big move. At this time, it was necessary to gather the troops responsible for maintaining stability and form a formation on the front line to deter the extremist forces. In that case, I’ve done you a great favor!”
alright, I’m just calling to inform you. I’m really busy now.
The two hung up the phone after some small talk.
Link smiled. Everything was going according to his plan.
Now, there was only one variable left.
Wind howl Castle.
The sound of the off-road vehicle’s tires crushing gravel could be heard clearly.
It was sunset, and the setting sun shone on the castle, covering it with a layer of orange clothes. It was particularly enchanting.
John’s hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and he was sitting cross-legged on a huge cobblestone with a cigarette in his mouth.
he held a pencil in one hand and a drawing board in the other. the tip of the pencil made a rustling sound on the drawing paper, recording the magnificence of nature.
“Moroes is dead?” John asked without turning his head when he heard the footsteps.
“Yeah, he’s dead.”
John puffed out a cloud of smoke and squinted at the setting sun that was gradually losing its piercing light. He sighed.”I really didn’t expect this move. I didn’t expect you to dare to kill someone in The Platinum Hotel.”
with two cans of beer in his hands, link sat down beside john. ” same to you. You were the most wanted person in The Platinum Hotel, right? ”
john stopped painting and turned to look at link with a serious expression.
“Platinum hotel’s most wanted man is no joke. It was the real Platinum Hotel where all the assassins would come out and look for any opportunity to kill you. The enemy would appear at any time and place to drain your energy. And you have to be careful of anyone who approaches you, because you’ll never be able to guess whether he’s going to help you or take your life to receive a reward.”
If it was anyone else, they would have been moved by this.
However, link still grinned hideously. After John finished, he said,”But you’re still alive and well.”
“That’s why I agreed to Moroes ‘request to assassinate alongso. This is the debt!”
Link finally understood what John meant when he said he owed Moroes a favor and a bullet.
Link smiled and asked,”Do you hate The Platinum Hotel? If it wasn’t for them, your Yingluo wouldn’t have remained unconscious until now.”
this is the price for breaking the rules. Although I refuse in my heart, I have to accept it.
link patted john’s shoulder and said,”since the platinum hotel wants to arrest me, they should be prepared for my revenge.” I’ve always felt that the rules of this organization are too outdated. It’s time to teach them what the rules of the new era are.”
Link grinned and said,”In the past, you ran away because you had the strength of one person. But I’m different. The slums of Shandu have been unified, and I’ve taken over all of Moroes ‘businesses. according to the rules of the past, the current situation in shandu has changed from three kings to two kings competing for supremacy, and i’m still the new king. He’s just an underground Emperor who controls The Platinum Hotel. What does he have to control the forces in the slums, the economy of Shatu, and me, who has a military background?”
As link spoke, he opened a can of beer and gulped it down.
Then, he returned to the Jeep and took out a bottle of sparkling water and a new branch.
Link found a flat area in the valley next to the castle and stuck the new branch into the soil. He then opened the glass bottle and poured the moon well water on the new branch.
Immediately, the new branch glowed with a dazzling light, And then the earth trembled and the air buzzed.
The branch expanded and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, from a small bud to a shrub, and from a shrub to a strong tree. Then, the tree’s surroundings expanded rapidly, and the life course of hundreds of years from one person to two people was compressed and played in a few short minutes.
A few minutes later, a 30-meter-tall tree appeared in front of John.
The lush tree crown was like a canopy.
The setting sun that represented the end of life and the divine Tree of birth that represented new life intertwined to form a great ensemble of life cycle.
