"I thought you would kill me now." Li Xiang chuckled at Jia Lan. Of course, he knew that Jia Lan would not kill him. In the end, people were selfish creatures who cared about themselves.
Everyone had a list of values in their hearts. The first was undoubtedly their own life, followed by the things they owned, such as family, lovers, children, close friends, and so on. It was just that everyone's ranking on this list was different, and it also represented the darkest side of everyone's heart.
But no matter who it was, they would all have such a list of values. Their principles would also be adjusted according to this list, and they would make choices in the most critical moments of life and death.
Generally speaking, loyalty was something that was lower in the list of values, unless it was a special person. However, such people mostly appeared in novels, television, and movies. They were extremely rare in the real world. Jia Lan was obviously not such a person.
Although he had relied on his family's relationship with Cousin Dale to become the commander of this elite corps, it did not mean that he was willing to sacrifice his own life and that of his family to achieve their goals.
It had to be said that Li Xiang was a good judge of character.
"That's a lame joke. It's not funny at all." Jia Lan sighed. After Li Xiang introduced himself, the atmosphere in the heavy truck instantly froze. Lin Feng, who was sitting in the front row, was both shocked and delighted.
This guy was actually Li Xiang!
He knew that the relationship between Li Xiang and General Shogun was irreconcilable, and as his legal wife, Dale Nidley, was the favored daughter of the middle generation of the Nidley family. This guy had killed her son and driven her crazy. This guy was doomed!
There was another long silence.
After arriving at the garrison's headquarters, Li Xiang could not help but sigh. This was indeed one of the most powerful elite corps in the world. The headquarters was filled with a somber atmosphere, and the soldiers on duty and training were all in high spirits.
They were no worse than the border troops. The border troops were lone wolves who had fought through blood and fire, while the 10th Legion was a fierce tiger entrenched in the forest. They were on par with each other.
It was no wonder that Owl, who was only a brigadier general, had such great power and fame. The ten legions that he had personally trained had a total of one million elite soldiers. If a war broke out, they would probably be a superpower that could turn the tide of the battle.
Officers above the rank of brigadier general had the right to recruit soldiers and train them. In the ancient times of the Blue Planet, it was equivalent to a governor with military autonomy. One had to admit that Xiao was very good as a soldier and an officer.
It was a pity that these warriors were used in the upper echelons of society instead of fighting to protect the human territories like the border troops.
Li Xiang was "invited" into a temporary prison.
Without Jia Lan's order, no one dared to use violence. Even if they wanted to, no one could beat him.
Lin Feng looked at him hatefully and reluctantly followed the troops back to their own camp.
"You don't have much time." Li Xiang estimated and smiled calmly at Jia Lan.
Jia Lan humphed coldly. He naturally knew what he meant. He was afraid that in a while, the border troops would come to punish him.
He turned around and quickly contacted his cousin who was far away in the North. The actual control of the 10th Legion was still in the hands of Owl and Dale. He could not make such a big decision on his own.
In fact, Jia Lan did not want to touch such a hot potato at all. That stupid President Morgan had provoked such an ancestor. When he thought about how he was inexplicably transferred from the frontline to the border and the incident with Li Xiang, it seemed too much of a coincidence.
After sending the message, Jia Lan narrowed his eyes and thought about the deeper meaning of this matter.
If he accidentally killed Li Xiang here, his family would be buried with him. The entire upper echelon would be in turmoil for a while. Countless people would bleed, and the bosses would take advantage of the situation to engage in a huge game. After that, no matter what the result was, the dead would not affect the living.
General Shogun would still be standing, and the 10th Legion would not be affected. If he, the commander of the 10th Legion, died, a new one would be appointed.
In this whole matter, he would be the scapegoat and pay the price with his life.
If that was the case, then why did his cousin and Owl decide to sacrifice him?
Jia Lan sighed. All these years, she had been busy fighting wars all over the place. She had little time to improve her relationships with her family. Furthermore, she was getting old. She had no chance to become a player. There were plenty of Level-3 Magicians. Whether it was age, loyalty, vitality, etc., they seemed to be much better than an old woman like her.
The change of blood within the big forces was quiet but cruel.
He looked in the direction of the temporary prison and felt that Li Xiang's gaze seemed to be looking in his direction. Jia Lan was shocked and felt that this young man was too unusual.
A few hours later, the people at the border arrived at the base camp of the garrison first.
Zhao Lingkong clarified the cause of the matter as quickly as possible. After reporting to his mother, he immediately set off to save Li Xiang.
Seeing the black mass of border soldiers, Jia Lan felt his chest tighten. They were not here to save him, they were here to fight.
The 10th Legion was valiant, but that was compared to most of the legions on the seven continents. No one wanted to compare their own troops with the crazy people at the border.
Zhao Lingkong jumped out of the truck and walked toward Jia Lan who was guarding the door with an unfriendly expression. Behind him was a large group of ferocious-looking border warriors, all of them holding vampire origin guns, all of them ready to go.
Jia Lan raised his eyebrows. The stunning shape and high-end design of the Blood Breed made his eyes light up. He was also a gun enthusiast and knew the basic types of origin guns. This was the first time he had seen such guns.
Could it be that the small research institute he destroyed really had the ability to develop guns?
"Commander Jia Lan, we are all straightforward people. Hand him over or fight." Zhao Lingkong's face was full of anger. Li Xiang had come to the border for business. Now his status was very high at the border, but something happened in the area under his jurisdiction!
If it was not handled well and his mother came back, how could he face her?
"Captain Zhao Lingkong, Li Xiang violated many prohibitions and will be escorted to the magic court in a few days. I also have a special arrest warrant. Are you threatening me?" Jia Lan looked at Zhao Lingkong. He was not old, just like the younger generation who was eyeing his position.
The rising young Level-3 magician and the old Level-3 magician who had almost no chance of becoming a player.
The two of them confronted each other. Jia Lan held his breath and did not give way.
"I am sure that you will not be willing to go to the magic court. There is only one person near the border who can speak. That is my mother, Andrea Gamma. " Zhao Lingkong slowly pulled out the long sword on his back and laughed coldly. "Does the magic court dare to speak?"
Only the border soldiers dared to say such disgraceful words.
Over the years, the border and the seven continents had long been separated. Under the rule of the Polar night, the border had its own set of rules and regulations. No one was allowed to interfere.
Even if the White King had been crazily oppressing the border, he would not completely fall out. Otherwise, if they really gave up everything and turned to the enemy camp, then the border that spanned thousands of miles would collapse in an instant.
At that time, the seven continents would really be in danger.
Talking about the magic court to the people at the border was as laughable as shouting "Supreme White King" in the Continent.
"Sorry, I will not let him go." Jia Lan had a headache. Why were the young people nowadays so arrogant? But he could not let him go before further instructions. Otherwise, it would show that he was not loyal.
"Then I have to at least ensure his safety. The details can be handed over to the higher-ups." Zhao Lingkong scanned the base camp of the troops stationed there. This troop was indeed as rumored. It was not as weak as the normal army troops.
"Please." Jia Lan nodded and led him to the temporary prison.
The soldiers on both sides were still at loggerheads. Many people did not even know that the cause was a young man.
In the temporary prison, Li Xiang, who had caused so much trouble, was playing with his phone. He did not care about the situation outside at all.
He was chatting with Zhe Yuan. After the final ranking match, Zhe Yuan went to the alma mater of their teacher, Night Shadow. The Chronometer Tower Consortium was ranked 11th in the university, Meteor Gemini, which was located in Zone 3 of the Southern Continent.
It just so happened that Zhe Yuan was away for training. Li Xiang had agreed to meet her at the factory of [Subcontinent Life].
He put away his phone when he saw Zhao Lingkong and Jia Lan walking toward him.
"Are you okay? Mother will be back soon to deal with this. Just bear with it for a while. "Zhao Lingkong was expressionless. Jia Lan was scared out of his wits.
Andrea was coming back?
He felt a chill down his spine at the thought of that woman.
Andrea was one of the main reasons why Jia Lan was so against coming to the border.
He, Owl, Dale, and Andrea were all from the same batch. They were only a few years apart. However, that woman was already a Level-5 Guardian. One more step and she would be a Level-6 player.
Level-6 was a level that countless players yearned to reach. It was also the true dividing line in this world.
He was the oldest among them, but he was still a Level-3 Magician.
Andrea was famous for her protectiveness. A few days ago, she went to the family's base camp to kidnap a few kids. Even Haku couldn't save them. That incident happened not long ago.
She would even dare to kill players at the border, let alone a Level-3 Magician like him.
"Didn't you say she was going out for a while?" Li Xiang replied calmly. He then looked at Jia Lan. "What about her? When will she be here?"
Li Xiang's words reminded Jia Lan. He took out his phone and saw that his cousin Dale was also heading here at high speed. He had a bad feeling about this.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Jia Lan felt like he had been tricked.
.....
As night fell, two large and beautiful airships landed quietly on the helipad of city number one, one on the left and one on the right.
The Nidri family's Hunter Trap emblem and the border force's emblem contrasted each other under the dreary moonlight.
In winter, the black fog at the border grew thicker and thicker, and night fell earlier and earlier.
At this time, it was still dusk in the Seven Continents, but night had already fallen at the border.
The airship on the left had just come to a stop when a blonde woman in a gorgeous dress jumped down from it.
Behind her was a group of black-clothed men, each with the insignia of the Nidri family on their bodies. They held exquisite black and white origin guns in their hands as they aggressively faced the other airship, as if they were ready to fight at any moment.
Dale Nidri tore open her dress and slit it all the way to her waist, revealing a pinkish white softness that made it easier for her to move.
She had been attending a banquet not long ago and immediately flew to the border when she received the news.
The men in black didn't look too good. After all, only players could easily endure such high-speed flight.
Dale looked at the airship with a gloomy and fierce expression.
A graceful woman slowly walked down from the airship on the right. She was wearing a professional uniform, but she wore a pair of hot pants that revealed her long, straight legs.
She held a black cat in her arms, and behind her was a large group of border guards.
The two sides faced each other for a while. Dale and Andrea nodded to each other and left a group of people behind to guard this place. The two of them rushed to City 7 as fast as they could.
The two women walked side by side, like two dots of light in the night sky, shuttling back and forth.
The soldiers on the watchtower saw their figures, but in the next second, only afterimages were left. If they hadn't been notified in advance, they probably would have broken out in a cold sweat.
This was a player.
A level 1 player and a level 5 player.
"What's the surprise you were talking about? Andrea, even if you're a brigadier general at the border, if the Nidri family really wants to have a falling out with you, you won't be able to bear the consequences. " Dale said fiercely to the heroic woman beside her. She was about to see the bastard who killed her son, and her body was trembling.
Even if Andrea stopped her, she would make that bastard pay the price today.
Andrea only smiled and didn't reply.
The two figures landed in the base camp of the garrison.
In the temporary prison, the first to sense it was Li Xiang.
He activated [Sense Increase] in advance, and when he sensed something, he immediately looked up at the sky.
Then, Jia Lan and Zhao Lingkong also sensed their arrival and immediately stood up to greet them.
Bang!
Dale suddenly fell, and the violent aura sent a few soldiers who didn't know what was going on flying. She walked straight toward the temporary prison.
"Li Xiang …"
She gritted her teeth and finally saw the young man through the bars.
"As expected, you don't look like Kuang Tie at all." Li Xiang grinned.
Andrea, who was standing behind Dale, also walked over slowly. When she heard Dale's words, she laughed wildly.
She remembered that when she went to Night Shadow's place, she had praised this kid for being smart. It seemed that it was true.
It was just a small mission, and he vaguely knew Night Shadow's arrangements.
In the eyes of many, the 10th Legion's garrison was Owl's declaration of war against Li Xiang. In fact, Night Shadow had already used this point to set up a bigger trap.
It was hard to say who was whose prey.
Hearing him mention her dead son, Dale growled and was about to rush in, but she was gently stopped by Andrea behind her.
Jia Lan, who was standing at the side, felt a chill in his heart. A very bad feeling rose in his heart. Looking at Li Xiang's smile and that sentence, a thought that he had long since ignored reappeared.
"Lingkong, from now on, don't let anyone near this place." Andrea waved her hand, and Zhao Lingkong immediately nodded and followed suit.
With a Level-5 player in charge, Jia Lan had completely lost his command.
The border troops majestically sealed off the temporary prison. Even if the soldiers of the 10th Legion were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Andrea was inside.
"What are you doing?" Dale was confused, but her eyes were full of anger when she looked at Li Xiang. She had received a message from Andrea on the way here from the banquet, saying that she had a big surprise for her.
Surprise, or shock?
