The King of Special Warfare

…

In the deep polar night light of Mormans in Snow Country, Flaming Fire walked quickly but smoothly into the villa hall, and then gave Qin Weibai the latest information compiled by the intelligence department of the Samsara Palace in eastern Europe.

Qin Weibai was playing chess with Lin Fengting.

Mormans was a bustling but not prosperous town, but in the afterglow of the polar night, there were still plenty of things to be found in the city that made people happy.

Lin Fengting was not interested in them.

No longer traveling far, he preferred playing chess.

Qin Weibai went for it.

The chess skill of the two was both good. The result was a draw. In a few days, in leisure time, the two people had played chess many times.

They were playing Go today.

Black and white pieces on the chessboard moved carefully step by step, forming a delicate and grand chess game.

When Flaming Fire walked in, this round of game was nearly over.

Qin Weibai did not look up, or go to receive the information. She just put a piece calmly and quietly ordered, “Read it for me.”

Flaming Fire paused, lowered her head and opened the file.

“There is still no information concerning the deputy commander of the Holy Disarmament Corps, Mellad.”

Flaming Fire took a quick look at the information and said something that Qin Weibai had been paying close attention to recently.

Qin Weibai’s delicate and sharp facial lines were calm like water, looking dreamy.

“The United Nations has officially met Star State, France, England, Snow Country, East Island, Canada, Germany… So far, nearly 20 countries have asked Zhongzhou State to explain the actions of the Snow dance Corps in Recchi City.”

Flaming Fire quietly reported, “Wulan State is also included, of course.”

“Be specific.”

Qin Weibai picked her eyebrows.

Flaming Fire ran through the names of nearly 20 countries carefully.

From the world’s point of view, this was undoubtedly an extremely luxurious lineup. These countries were not all developed countries, but in terms of overall national strength, each participating country could be said to be a real power.

So many countries targeted Zhongzhou State at one meeting.

After the meeting, God knew how much pressure Zhongzhou State’s diplomats and military would bear.

“What about Zhongzhou State’s reaction?” Qin Weibai asked.

…

“They’re remaining silent,” Flaming Fire replied.

…

Qin Weibai nodded and slowly dropped the black piece in her hand.

White pieces were almost all over the board, but black pieces were still not at a distinct disadvantage. The black pieces’ layout on the chessboard was very ingenious and strange. In the face of aggressive white pieces, they still seemed to have great power to fight back.

Flaming Fire continued to scan the information and suddenly said, “Jiang Qiannian is confirmed dead in Recchi City. Recchi City is in chaos. Wulan State has passed the siege plan and is implementing it.”

Qin Weibai looked up at the clock.

Her bright eyes seemed to reflect the time, extremely dignified and distant.

“Jiang Qiansong and Black Ghost have arrived in Recchi City.”

Flaming Fire finished the last message.

Qin Weibai held one piece in one hand, frozen in place.

Jiang Qiansong and Black Ghost had arrived in Recchi City…

She was silent for a moment, and then asked, “Are you sure?”

“Still being checking. But it’s more than 80 percent credible,” Flaming Fire answered.

…

She had been very busy these days.

In the Samsara Palace, she was the closest Super Master to Qin Weibai, but was not responsible for anything specific. More often than not, she acted as Qin Weibai’s secretary.

Qin Weibai was now the acting Patriarch of the Lin Clan.

While it would take some time for the Lin Clan branches’ leaders to reach Mormans, Qin Weibai’s orders were starting to make their way through the Lin Clan.

So Flaming Fire, as the secretary, had to receive countless information every day, including from within the Lin Clan and from the Samsara Palace.

…

The information was endless.

Flaming Fire just picked out the most important ones and told Qin Weibai in the first place.

Qin Weibai still held the chess piece and kept the same gesture for a long while.

Her body stiffened for about five minutes before she lowered the piece onto the board, but she still did not speak.

Flaming Fire waited patiently for a moment, and then left the hall in silence.

“You don’t trust Flaming Fire?” Lin Fengting asked suddenly, when Flaming Fire’s back was out of sight.

…

“If I can’t trust her, who can I trust?”

Qin Weibai smiled and said, “Sir, you think too much.”

“Maybe.”

Lin Fengting smiled and said, “But I thought you’d at least let her know what you are up to.”

Qin Weibai rubbed the jade-like chess piece in her hands, looked up at Lin Fengting and asked, “What am I up to?” Lin Fengting paused.

Lin Fengting paused for a second.

He really saw blankness and confusion in Qin Weibai’s eyes.

Lin Fengting thought it was incredible.

He thought back to what he had heard, frowned, and asked, “Now that Jiang Qiansong and Black Ghost are in Recchi City, don’t you want to do something?”

“Yes.”

Qin Weibai lowered her head and added, “But I can’t do anything.”

Her voice was calm and determined.

“Tianlan is in danger!”

Lin Fengting looked at Qin Weibai and suddenly whispered.

For the future of the Lin Clan, he must keep Qin Weibai. To keep Qin Weibai, he had to keep Li Tianlan, or as long as he kept Li Tianlan, he could naturally keep Qin Weibai.

The two of them were completely linked; they could not be separated at all.

Jiang Qiansong and Black Ghost were a superlative combination in the Dark World.

Lin Fengting had little interest in the Jiang family of South America. He didn’t even bother to talk to them when he met them. They were not the Wang family of Beihai, so he had no psychological burden. The minute he got the news, Lin Fengting wanted to go to Recchi City. With his strength, Jiang Qiansong’s best defense was just so-so in his eyes. Now that Jiang Qiansong had lost the Legend of Qin, even if he had a partner Black Ghost, Lin Fengting would not have much pressure to deal with him.

Given some uncertainty, after he went all out, if he failed to kill Jiang Qiansong, at least he could get the Jiang family of South America out of eastern Europe entirely, and even out of the Dark World for at least the next few years.

Lin Fengting was itching to move.

Qin Weibai shook her head and said softly, “He has to deal with some things on his own after all. I can’t be there for him all the time. He needs to go his own way by himself. I’ve done everything I can. Tianlan has enough chips, Wulan State is his game for the Jiang family of South America. What if we let him finish?”

Lin Fengting frowned.

He knew Li Tianlan’s whole plan.

In fact, two days before departure, Li Tianlan already had more chips than anyone expected—the power of the Samsara Palace, and the power of the Dongcheng Clan. For this eastern European mess, they turned all their apparent and hidden power over to Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan also set his goal at Wulan State by virtue of his chips.

The whole plan was simple, huge, extremely violent, but at the same time very profitable.

The Samsara Palace and the Dongcheng Clan just provided power, but didn’t interfere with Li Tianlan’s plans.

It was all Li Tianlan’s call.

…

Maybe when Li Tianlan didn’t want to hibernate or dared to hibernate because of the responsibilities he bore, the Samsara Palace and the Dongcheng Clan were also eager to let Li Tianlan grow up in the fastest time and take charge of himself.

…

Lin Fengting understood Li Tianlan’s ambition, as well as the expectations of the Samsara Palace and Dongcheng Clan.

But that was not why they chose not to act when Li Tianlan was in a crisis.

Jiang Qiansong came too soon.

Jiang Qiansong arrived in eastern Europe at least 48 hours earlier than Li Tianlan had planned.

Every minute and every second of this period of time, things might change.

“I don’t doubt Tianlan’s ability, but the mess in eastern Europe is too big, and Tianlan’s starting point is too high. Play one game with one country. If he succeeds, it will be good, but if he fails… You’ve seen the situation.”

Lin Fengting looked into Qin Weibai’s eyes and said, “Nearly 20 powerful countries have come together to put pressure on Zhongzhou State. No matter how strong Zhongzhou State is, they also have the bottom line. Once they think they’re under more pressure than Tianlan is now worth to them, even if Dongcheng Wudi insists, they, including the Academics, will…”

“They will declare that Tianlan is a traitor and strip him of his position as Commander of the Snowdance Corps to get rid of the pressure they are under,” Qin Weibai interrupted.

…

“Have you thought of that?” Lin Fengting asked.

“If the Li family is charged with treason again…”

“I have never thought of that.”

“Minister Dongcheng’s insistence makes sense,” said Qin Weibai, staring down at the chessboard in front of her.

“Besides, I’m used to thinking only of the worst. So far, Tianlan has a lot of cards on his plate. Even if Wulan State’s situation is bad, and he fails and faces the worst outcome, he could still get away with it. Then why should I think of anything else?”

Lin Fengting gave a bitter smile.

If the plan about Wulan State failed, would Li Tianlan get away?

Did Qin Weibai really regard the Jiang family of South America, the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City as paper tigers?

Once the situation was out of control, maybe Li Tianlan and others could escape Jiang Qiansong, but how could the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City miss this opportunity?

When other countries put pressure on Zhongzhou State, they would try their best to convict Li Tianlan of treason for violating Zhongzhou State’s position.

They didn’t need a reason.

The big powers put pressure on Zhongzhou State.

The inner pressure came from the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City.

Zhongzhou State had no choice but to give up Li Tianlan.

The winner got all. If Li Tianlan failed, he would suffer the consequences.

How could he return to Zhongzhou State then?

If he couldn’t go back to Zhongzhou State…

“He could still get away with it? Tianlan may get out of Wulan State alive, but if he fails, the whole Li family…”

“Does the Li family have anything to do with me?”

Qin Weibai burst into laughter.

She raised her head and stared at Lin Fengting with dreamy eyes, which held a look of sharp but fragile to the extreme. “I remember telling you that I didn’t like the Li family, and I didn’t like Li Honghe. I didn’t help the Li family. From start to finish, I’m just helping Tianlan. I’m just helping him. I have nothing to do with the Li family.”

“In my opinion, the Li family is Tianlan’s baggage. It will be great if he can get rid of it. Even if Tianlan is condemned as a traitor this time, as long as Dongcheng Wudi persists, he will still be able to control more than half of the Snowdance Corps, and will not have to bear the restrictions that the rank of marshal brings to him. In that case, he would really make a difference in eastern Europe. Now that Tianlan has space, why should I consider the Li family? Why?”

Lin Fengting was silent for a long time, before he smiled sadly.

“So you never intended for Tianlan to finish his plan in the first place. From the beginning you wanted Tianlan to defect and get out of the Li family and the Snowdance Corps, so that he could get more space in eastern Europe?”

“No.”

Qin Weibai shook her head and said, “I gave Tianlan all the chips he would need, and I hope he can succeed. But even if he fails, he still has a way out. That’s all I want to say. As long as Tianlan is safe, I won’t save the Li family. It doesn’t make sense to me.”

“If you want to talk about the Li family, Purgatory of Heaven Capital should be in eastern Europe by now. If you talk to god about this, you should have more in common.”

Lin Fengting smiled bitterly again.

Qin Weibai herself didn’t know how she felt about the Li family.

It was not exactly hate, but it was definitely not goodwill.

…

This complex feeling turned into total apathy.

To talk to Purgatory of Heaven Capita?

Purgatory of Heaven Capital’s attitude towards the Li family was obvious, but the problem was that from the perspective of the master, he only had hatred and resentment towards Li Honghe.

Lin Fengting had a complex look in his eyes.

His old friend had become so strange, like a different person.

To talk to him?

How to talk?

But at heart, Lin Fengting still didn’t want the Li family to be destroyed completely.

However, even if he tried to convince Qin Weibai, he could only do it from Li Tianlan’s point of view.

“If you stand by the Li family, Tianlan might fail, and the Li family will be doomed. Although it’s all because of his ambition, if he knew that you had the power to change it while you didn’t step in to help him, he might have a problem with you. Have you thought of that?”

“I am right.”

Qin Weibai’s eyes looked soft and stubborn. “The Li family is none of my business.”

“What about the Lin Clan?” Lin Fengting asked suddenly.

“You once said that of all the powers, only the Lin Clan were worthy of your trust. You don’t believe in Li Honghe, but you believe in me. Why?”

Qin Weibai gave a twinkle in her eye.

Her eyes were bright and had a clear distinction between black and white, but now there was a touch of extreme complexity, as if all emotions were mixed together.

Her voice dropped.

“Because your Lin Clan once received a disciple…”

That was why she could trust the Lin Clan.

Lin Fengting was a little confused.

But then something had occurred to him, as if he had just figured out a question. “He’s your…”

“Clap.”

Qin Weibai dropped the piece on the board.

The piece hit the center of the chessboard with a sound, like the rattle of a sword.

“I’m tired.”

Qin Weibai got up and walked out of the hall.

She was about to walk out the door when she suddenly paused and asked, “Do you know which army is the most elite in Zhongzhou State in the past five years?”

She asked about the army, not the corps.

…

Lin Fengting thought about it for a moment.

Qin Weibai was asking about the past five years, not now.

…

If it were five years ago, the most elite corps in Zhongzhou State would undoubtedly be the Border Control Corps.

And so it was now.

However, the most elite army of Zhongzhou State was the Thunderbolt Battalion of the Border Control Corps, which directly belonged to Dongcheng Wudi.

Unfortunately, more than three years ago, the Thunderbolt Battalion suffered heavy casualties in the war when the five forces invaded the border. Then the army was handed to the Wang family of Beihai by the Dongcheng Clan, and eventually formed the Tiannan Freedom Corps. Although the original elite was still in the corps, because of the expansion of the scale, members of the corps varied in strength, causing the army to lose the charm of being the strongest army in Zhongzhou State and even in the world.

“Do you mean the Thunderbolt Battalion?” Lin Fengting asked.

…

The Thunderbolt Battalion of the Border Control Corps.

They were chosen from Zhongzhou State’s army of nearly five million men. They were the best of the best.

The Thunderbolt Battalion consisted of 20,000 people; The individual soldiers might not be very impressive, but when they made up a whole…

It was a powerful army?

It was like a divine army!

Qin Weibai didn’t answer Lin Fengting’s question. She just repeated what she had said.

“So Minister Dongcheng’s insistence makes sense.”

…

If the nearly 20 years of Zhongzhou State was divided into countless chessboards, for the Wang family of Beihai and Kunlun City, that game of chess was over after the treason case was settled.

For the Dongcheng Clan, their chess game was just beginning when the treason case was settled.

The Dongcheng Clan had been preparing.

Dongcheng Wudi and Dongcheng Hanguang dropped a piece more than three years ago.

That was a deliberate calculation on the part of an unintentional person.

This piece was now in Li Tianlan’s hands, and Li Tianlan put it on his own chessboard.

Who could break the game?

“Don’t worry.”

Qin Weibai said in the end.

Then she slowly made her way out of the hall and finally into the deep night cold as water.
