The envoy of the Ten Cities Alliance is a lean humanoid with skin as dry as an old wrinkled book cover, eyes like bull's eyes, and unusually long fingers. Looking from a distance, it looks like a tree man carved from a dead tree.
The beings of the Yao Luo clan are extremely shrewd, eloquent, and good at observing people's emotions, so they are very good at communication and are natural negotiators.
Yaoluo City is a city in the Ten Cities Alliance and occupies an important position in it. It is normal to send them here this time.
Seeing Chen Mo coming over, the messenger from the Ten Cities looked at him with his big copper bell eyes.
This young being is currently one of the strongest overlords in the universe, but he doesn't seem to have anything special about him.
"Sir, I have long admired you." The envoy from the Ten Cities saluted respectfully to Chen Mo: "My name is Luo Huo, and I am the envoy representative sent by the alliance leader this time."
"Hello, Messenger Luo, what can I do for you?" Chen Mo simply said hello to the other party and got to the point.
"Sir, please be happy. The alliance leader sent me here to ask the army ants if they have any ideas about forming an alliance, and then we can seek some cooperation." Rojo had a friendly smile on his face, like a friendly old tree man, letting him One cannot bring up the emotion of disgust.
"Alliance?" Chen Mo looked at Lan and saw a look from him, and he understood: "Is there any benefit to us from forming an alliance with you?"
Luo Huo's breath was slightly stagnant, and he raised his head after thinking.
"Now that the universe is in chaos, god-level civilizations almost want to destroy other civilizations and dominate the universe. Next to us is the strongest Black Eyed Civilization, and there is a rainbow bridge leading to the White Star Civilization. It can be said that the threat to us is not small. If The two god-level civilizations have joined forces to attack us, and we will definitely be unable to resist it, but if we fail, your army ants will face the two god-level civilizations head-on, and they will die in despair."
"That's the truth."
Chen Mo looked like he suddenly realized that Lan had said that once the Ten Cities Alliance came to form an alliance, they must take the initiative, so he did not agree immediately.
"It's not impossible to have an alliance, but there are two conditions."
"Sir, you say."
Luo Huo was stunned and took a deep look at Chen Mo. No wonder this man could become one of the overlords of the universe.
"The first condition is that our army of army ants can enter the star field of the Ten Cities Alliance at any time, so that it can be easily supported during war."
"This shouldn't be a big problem. If both sides jointly defend, this is a necessary condition, and the alliance leader should agree." Luo Huo breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, what is the second condition?"
"The second condition is that if the two sides engage in a joint operation, whether the battlefield is in our star domain or the Ten Cities star domain, the overall command of the Joint Operations Department must be led by us, and the combined legions must obey the orders of the Joint Operations Department."
"this… "
Luo Huo didn't dare to answer for a while.
Because this condition involves too much.
Obtaining the commander-in-chief means taking absolute dominance in this cooperation.
However, he also knew that their strength was indeed inferior to that of the marching ant group. It was normal for the marching ant group to have strong soldiers and generals and to want to dominate.
Just handing over all the control to the army ant group, they are not sure whether their own interests can be protected.
"I need to go back and ask the leader for instructions on this."
"No rush, I can let your alliance leader think carefully before replying to me." Chen Mo said nonchalantly: "I only have these two conditions here. Does the envoy have any other questions?"
"Yes, we want to buy some dark matter from sir."
"That's easy to say, how much?"
"Seven hundred million pounds."
Rojo gestured with his fingers to sign a universal seven-character sign.
Those currently in charge of dark matter extraction technology are god-level civilizations and army ant groups. Therefore, all major forces in the universe either cooperate with god-level civilizations or are attacked and annexed by god-level civilizations.
In the past, during peaceful times, god-level civilizations dominated the cosmic alliance, and it was they who dominated the distribution of dark matter.
Nowadays, apart from god-level civilizations, only the army ant group has mastered dark matter extraction technology.
"Okay, but I don't need star coins, I need resource planets in exchange."
"Half star coins, half resources."
"no."
Chen Mo refused without hesitation. Now that the universe is in chaos, resources are the best currency.
You know, not all planets are suitable for mining.
Gas planets are difficult to mine, and dwarf planets have too much gravity and are difficult to mine. Therefore, generally only terrestrial planets are suitable for mining and have enough minerals and space to produce various war machines.
A space war consumes war machines based on the hollowing out of planets, which consumes huge resources.
"Okay." Luo Huo agreed.
"The dark matter will be delivered within three months. Regarding the alliance, you can go back and ask your alliance leader before coming to discuss it with me."
"I will tell the alliance leader, thank you sir." Luo Huo saluted Chen Mo again: "No matter whether this alliance succeeds or not, you will be our best friend."
"Easy to say." Chen Mo said politely.
Luo Huo didn't stay with them for long. After the conversation, he went to the manor assigned to them by Chen Mo and contacted the headquarters of the Ten Cities Alliance.
…
"He said that?"
"Yes."
After receiving Rojo's affirmative answer, the male life in the holographic video fell into deep thought.
He is the current leader of the Ten Cities Alliance and the city lord of Xi Mo City, Kahn. The magic patterns on his body flow and change like living creatures. This is a characteristic of the Xi Mo clan.
The Ten Cities Alliance is composed of ten cities. Each city is a top-level civilization and belongs to one of the one hundred and eight cities. They are Tianlu, Yaoluo, Liuli, Holy Python, Yuelu, Hunter, Rahu, Mermaid, and Xi. Demons and disciples of gods.
The leader of the Ten Cities Alliance adopts a rotation system. They rotate once every three years. For major internal decisions, a voting system is adopted. Only more than half can be passed, and the vote in the leader's hand counts as one and a half votes.
Now, the city lords of the other nine cities are by Kahn's side.
"I object to completely handing over the leadership to them. If they try to trick us, we will die without a place to die." The Lord of the Divine Disciple City had a sullen face and was in a bad mood.
"I also think we need to think more about it. It's too risky." The Lord of Hunter City also shook his head.
The Lord of Yaoluo City next to them glanced at them and withdrew his gaze: "I think it's okay. They have two top generals, Yinfa and Mingtu. If they fight together, their generals will be stronger. It's normal for them to take the lead. "
"Lingxi is not weak either."
“…”
Kahn frowned as he watched them argue.
There is no unity within the Ten Cities Alliance, and he knows this. Some big cities are pro-White Star Civilization, and some are pro-Black Eye Civilization. Those two have done a lot of work within the Ten Cities Alliance.
It was precisely because he felt the sense of crisis that he chose to contact the Army Ants to form an alliance. Otherwise, they would have to face two god-level civilizations. Once the other side took action, they would probably end up with only one fate.
But judging from the current scene, things are more troublesome than I imagined.
Kahn's heart kept sinking.
…
Chen Mo sat on the chair, tapping his fingers on the table without looking away from the star map: "Do you think they will agree to our conditions this time?"
"Not very likely."
Lan gave a decisive answer.
"How to say?"
"The Ten Cities Alliance is not as united as imagined. The White Star Civilization and the Black Eyed Civilization have seriously penetrated them, and the internal opinions among the ten cities are huge. If the overall command is given to us, they are afraid that we will use the command to eliminate dissidents."
"Then why do you want to put forward this condition?" Chen Mo asked. This condition was what Lan said when communicating with him. Once the Ten Cities Alliance comes to seek an alliance, this condition will be raised.
"I have to mention that without overall command authority, we cannot cooperate. Otherwise, when we cooperate, we run the risk of being cheated, because we don't know who of them has been infiltrated and to what extent.
If this condition is thrown out, we will take the absolute initiative and be able to initially determine the internal position of the Ten Cities Alliance. If the Ten Cities Alliance splits in the future, we can ally with big cities with good positions and let them become our buffer zone. "
Lan drew the area of the Ten Cities Alliance on the star map, and its strategic location was clear at a glance.
"What if they agree?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
"If you agree, it will be even easier. Boss, you have the ability to read their memories. If you find a chance to take a look, it will be clear who is the ghost. When the time comes, you can openly and honestly pull out the secret chess between the two families and build the Ten Cities Alliance into our steel buffer zone.”
Lan chuckled, extremely cunningly.
"So it is unlikely that they will agree. It is unlikely that the two companies will allow us to obtain the general command so easily. Maintaining the status quo or splitting is more likely."
"What are the arrangements next?" Chen Mo asked.
"Boss, I think you can find your old sweetheart."
"What the hell? My old sweetheart?"
