After hanging up the video call with Chen Mo, Kahn had a dark face.
This kind of expression is hard to see on him. As a superior, he can control his emotions, and his usual decision-making is calm enough. It seems that everything can be done calmly.
Even when faced with the pressure of the Black Eyed Civilization, he could remain calm and consider the pros and cons.
But when he makes a decision, he will act resolutely. It was his decision to decisively execute the traitor and the intelligence personnel arranged by the two god-level civilizations.
The moment the decision was made, it meant that he was at odds with the two major civilizations.
He originally thought that the balance was expected, but who could have imagined that the entry of the Dark Forest Civilization put the army ant group he had hopes for into an unprecedented crisis.
Now he has to face a choice again.
The Ten Cities Alliance exists in name only, and if he chooses to form an alliance with the Black Eyed Civilization, he may step down, or even be tried by the Black Eyed Civilization, in exchange for the peace of Ximo City, and then someone else will come to power.
Chen Mo's words were also what he was thinking, but when he said them without any concealment, it always made people uncomfortable.
Choosing to ally with the Black Eye Civilization, they were at a disadvantage. It may be temporarily safe, but it's definitely not a wise choice in the long run.
Tong Qing is ambitious and has the ambition to annex the universe, and will never be willing to ally with weaklings like them.
As Chen Mo said, they may be used as cannon fodder, as the vanguard of Tongqing's competition in the universe, to consume other strong opponents.
If they choose the Black Eyed Civilization, their first opponent will be the army ants who are currently in alliance with them. What an irony.
Army ants are good allies and don't have to worry about betrayal.
Because the crisis facing the army ants is greater than them. Once they betray, both sides will suffer, and then they will all be annexed by the eyeing god-level civilization.
But now the army ants are in a critical situation, and if they are not handled well, they may overturn in an instant.
If they continue to form an alliance with the army ants, and when problems arise with the army ants, they will not even be qualified to be cannon fodder for a god-level civilization, and will only have to subjugate their country and exterminate their clan.
After listening to Kahn's story, Lingxi fell into deep thought and looked relatively calm.
"What will happen to the army ants if we form an alliance with the Black Eyed Civilization?"
"Destruction!" Kahn uttered two words, thought for a moment, felt a little inappropriate, and then said: "Or retreat to the small universe."
"They have small universes, what about us? What will happen to us?"
"We may be able to live, but we will become a dog-like creature of the Black-Eye Civilization, biting whoever we are told to bite." Kahn said with a gloomy face. He did not want to say these words, but the reality is so cruel.
Lingxi was unmoved by this description: "After the army ants disappear, who will be next to us?"
Kahn's eyes flashed a few times and he said: "White Star Civilization, if unexpected, there may be two brothers from Dark Forest Civilization."
"We are sandwiched between several god-level civilizations. What if they take action?"
Kahn was silent, he didn't dare to think further.
Seeing that Kahn remained silent, Lingxi continued: "Our place will become the most brutal battlefield, and it may even become the ruins of a cosmic war. I don't need to say more about the people in it."
When it comes to war and operations, Lingxi, as a general, sees things more clearly than Kahn.
"The outcome is the same anyway, why don't we take a gamble?" Lingxi said.
"Betting on army ants?"
"Do we have other ways to bet? There is a gap in strength between us and the army ants, but to him, we are their more powerful friends. And in the Black Eyed Civilization, what are we? A dog-like person? Me I don’t want to be their dog. This is my first time alive. Why should I be his dog
Besides, we may not lose. If the Nebula Alliance is of the same mind as the Marching Ants, who says we can't fight with our three emerging forces against the three god-level civilizations? Also, are we sure that Chen Mo really has no other trump card? "
Kahn remained silent for a long time.
…
"The skills of the White Star Civilization are indeed brilliant." Fatty Luo bit his fleshy leg and sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid the army ants will be in trouble this time."
Zi Yun stared at the star map, her eyes sparkling: "Is there a way to break the situation?"
The dozing young man next to him was holding a doll, but there was no movement.
Fatty Luo put down the meat leg in his hand, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth before saying: "The key lies in the Nebula Alliance and the Ten Cities Alliance. The White Star Civilization and the Nebula Alliance have come into contact, and Tong Qing has also put pressure on the Ten Cities Alliance. If this If the two families turn against each other, or choose not to help at this time, the army ants will be done for.”
"Not necessarily." Zi Yun thought for a while, shook her head and said two words.
"not necessarily?"
Fatty Luo looked at Zi Yun in confusion. Zi Zhong, who had been dozing off, woke up and looked at Zi Yun.
"Does the Star Master have a way to break the situation?"
"I told you that you don't need to call me Star Master when there's no one around," Zi Yun said calmly.
"It's just a title, it's all the same." Fatty Luo didn't care about Zi Yun's words.
"It's not me, it's Chen Mo." Zi Yun was very sure.
"Why are you so sure?"
"Aren't you curious about where I went some time ago? I'm in the Army Ant Group, Chen Mo's hometown."
As soon as these words came out, Fatty Luo stared with disbelief.
Zi Zhong, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up and stared at Zi Yun with extremely gossipy eyes: "You won't go over and be his little wife, right?"
Fatty Luo's eyelids twitched, and he slapped Zi Zhong on the head like a leaf fan: "Go to sleep, if you can't speak, don't speak. No one will think you are mute."
Zi Yun was speechless about Zi Zhong's thoughts.
"I lived there for a while and experienced the civilized environment where Chen Mo grew up." Zi Yun's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence: "There, I saw how powerful Chen Mo was."
"Have you seen his secret weapons or special techniques?"
"I have experienced special technology once." Zi Yun remembered that Chen Mo had seen all her private memories, and her calm face showed a slight unnaturalness.
"What kind of special technology?" Zizhong hugged the doll with a half-smiling expression on his face.
This time, even Fatty Luo started to gossip.
"About super powers." Zi Yun didn't take their gaze seriously, and her expression returned to its previous calmness: "He is always so confident and unfathomable, so he must have a trump card this time."
Fatty Luo thought about the information in Zi Yun's words.
"What should we do?" Zi Zhong asked.
"Create some trouble for Bai Xing." Zi Yun said decisively.
…
After Chen Mo hung up the phone, he took a deep breath.
Lan and the others in the war room frowned.
They are thinking.
What does Kahn mean? Do you want to abandon the alliance and defect to the Black Eyed Civilization
They have to have this concern, because compared to the conditions given by the Black Eyed Civilization, the agreement between them and Kahn has no advantage. During joint operations, they need command authority, but the Black Eyed Civilization does not.
In addition, what they can provide, the Black Eye Civilization can also provide, including resisting the White Star Civilization, and they can do it better.
If Kahn reneged on the alliance agreement, they would be in a lot of trouble.
"Should we prepare to withdraw our troops from the Gulu Galaxy?" Lan asked.
Chen Mo shook his head and said: "No need, but you should pay attention to the movements in Ximo City. Kahn is hesitating and has no real answer yet."
"Then what are we doing now?" Chi Jin next to Lan asked.
"Wait." Chen Mo said after thinking.
What are you waiting for? It is not advisable to act rashly until the Nebula Alliance has an answer and the attitude of its allies is not confirmed. Otherwise, once the war department is mobilized and they turn against them, the army ants will be in real trouble.
"Concentrate on dealing with the two brothers of the Dark Forest Civilization first. The White Star Civilization has no direct contact with us. Once we take action, there will still be buffer time for us to react. Even if Kahn switches sides and their war department mobilizes to our side, we will have time to react. At the same time, prepare for the worst.”
As Chen Mo said, all they can do now is wait, wait for the situation to become clear, and confirm whether we are the enemy or not, so that they can use their fists without hesitation, but they must also be prepared for the worst.
The quickest preparation is for Kahn and the Nebula Alliance to all switch sides.
The war room fell into a brief silence, and then quickly became busy preparing for the worst plan.
The waiting time is excruciating, but every life within the Army Ant Group is tense and does not dare to relax, especially the generals on the front line. They are not allowed to fail. Once they fail, they will face an endless abyss.
Soon, news came from the Nebula Alliance that Tu Yun rejected the conditions of the White Star Civilization.
