Sawyer looked serious and lowered his voice: "Time is limited, so I will make a long story short."
Xie He said: "Say it!"
"It was you who asked Lance to cancel the destructive attack on the Mentor Starfield, didn't you? The price was for you to make this speech publicly." Sawyer asked, staring closely at Xie He's eyes.
Xie He smiled bitterly, "Yes, but I don't know if he will keep his promise."
But he didn't dare to gamble, and he had no other choice.
The conjecture was confirmed, Sawyer looked complicated, and said, "He didn't lie to you, the attack was indeed cancelled, I have already notified the federal troops hiding there, and asked them to evacuate quickly before the emperor arrived."
Xie He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him moved, "Thank you."
He is well aware of the situation in the Mentor Starfield. There are not only a large number of innocent civilians there, but also a very important secret base of the Federation, so Lance must not be allowed to destroy the Mentor Starfield! It's a pity that he can't pass the news on, and can only hope that they will find out by themselves... Fortunately, Sawyer is still there.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, and you're the one buying them time," Sawyer said. He also didn't expect that Lance would be so decisive that he would ask to use the empire's secret weapon without warning, just to destroy a star field that has not yet been determined to have enemies. Was caught off guard.
There was a trace of bitterness in Xie He's eyes, "I only have this little use..."
"No, don't underestimate your role." Complexity flashed in Sawyer's eyes, and he obviously thought of more.
He thought that Lance would rather go against the entire army than hand over Xie He. He remembered that when he was testing Lance, Lance responded coldly without hesitation... and this time, Lance canceled for Xie He. The attack plan that had been decided long ago... These things that were impossible to happen have happened, which means... Xie He's position in Lance's heart is different.
But Xie He himself obviously didn't realize this, didn't realize the importance of himself in Lance's heart.
Sawyer lowered his head and stared at Xie He. The clothes wrapped his slender and straight figure very tightly, and the neckline was so tight that he couldn't see anything, but Sawyer remembered the traces he saw on Xie He on the day of the welcome banquet... the look in his eyes Suddenly it became darker.
At that time, he thought that Lance would do that to him only out of curiosity and humiliation to Xie He... But in fact, wasn't Lance attracted by him? Because you are attracted, you want to possess it. And he actually understands Lance's mentality, because he is also a man, if possible...he would want to have this person...
Sawyer's eyes changed, and he quickly put aside the idea that he shouldn't have. He shouldn't have such disrespectful thoughts towards Xie He.
What he should think about now is how to use this as much as possible to create opportunities for them.
Sawyer thought for a while, and said to Xie He: "Maybe you can try to obey a little bit, and don't keep provoking against him."
Xie He's eyes showed cold hatred: "I will not obey him!"
"No, you misunderstood me. I don't mean that you really obey him, but that you can pretend to obey him so as to lower his vigilance." Sawyer said slowly: "Only let him relax his vigilance. We have a chance."
"But he won't believe me, it's useless." Xie He showed a surprised look, then shook his head.
Sawyer looked at him firmly: "Trust me, this will work."
When a man doesn't like someone, he can be ruthless enough; but on the contrary... When a man likes someone, as long as you give him a little bit of sweetness, a little bit of hope, he will be tempted to sink infinitely... No one can resist this kind of... lure.
Xie He wanted to continue to refute, but seeing the seriousness in Sawyer's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will try my best..."
Sawyer nodded: "Be careful yourself, I will find a way to contact you again."
"Okay." Xie He said, seeing that Sawyer was about to leave, he suddenly said: "By the way... I would like to ask you to do me two favors, can you?"
"Okay." Sawyer stopped in his tracks.
Xie He looked at Sawyer and said softly, "I hope you can give Cecil a message for me, please—don't worry about me. In order to win, you must make a choice."
He is very aware of the uproar his statement today will cause in the Federation, but he also knows that the hope of the Federation will not be easily wiped out, the belief will not be subverted easily, and they will not be killed because of his betrayal alone. Lost the hope in my heart, lost the will to fight.
Because they are all warriors who have experienced the baptism of blood! He only hoped that Cecil would not affect the overall situation because of his concerns. At this time, sacrificing him alone was obviously easier than appeasing the angry Federation people.
This is a very simple multiple-choice question, but he doesn't want Cecil to have the slightest difficulty.
Sawyer obviously realized this too. He looked straight into Xie He's eyes. Although there was pain and sadness in those deep blue eyes, he didn't hesitate at all. He was very clear about what he was about to face, but he still didn't hesitate. Do your best to do what you can do without hesitation... Don't care if you will fall into a more irreversible situation!
Sawyer suddenly couldn't bear it, but he knew that the overall situation was at stake, so he finally nodded and said, "Okay."
Xie He breathed a sigh of relief, and the last haze in his eyes dissipated. He knew that Cecil would take care of everything. They are comrades who can trust each other!
"I have one more request." Xie He looked at him apologetically: "I heard that the empire has developed a potion that can make ordinary people explode their physical potential in a short period of time and have the strength of an evolutionary person. This potion Only the Emperor* has it... I would like to ask you to help me get a copy."
Sawyer's eyes changed slightly, this time he didn't answer immediately, but looked at Xie He with an indescribable look.
Seeing this, Xie He asked in confusion: "Is it difficult to get it?"
No, no, although this medicine is strictly controlled, it can be obtained with Sawyer's authority. He hesitated for another reason.
Sawyer's lips moved: "Since you know the existence of this medicine, do you know that the side effects of this medicine are terrible, it will completely destroy your body, and there is a high mortality rate after use, even if you live Down, it is equivalent to a useless person, which is tantamount to suicide."
Xie He smiled, "I know, it doesn't matter. You should have discovered it, I am no longer an evolutionary person, because Lance used a gene destroyer on me, so it is difficult for me to kill him, but I will not Give up."
"You..." Sawyer tried to persuade.
Xie He interrupted him, he looked into Sawyer's eyes, his eyes were bright and firm, "I can't go back, the only belief I have left now is that one day I will kill Lance myself! You will Help me, right?"
It's not that Sawyer has never seen those who are not afraid of life and death in the struggle against the empire... He has seen too many deaths, too many sorrows and powerlessness. The person in front of me touched my heart.
The person in front of him was tortured like that, forced to lose his proud strength, changed from a hero of the Federation to a slave of the Empire, humiliated by the enemy, and abandoned by his companions. But he has never given up on his beliefs, sometimes—living is more difficult than dying.
Because you have to face difficulties, there is no escape.
Sawyer looked into Xie He's eyes, and suddenly he couldn't say no. He risked his life and betrayed the empire, and he also had his own pursuit and persistence, so he understood Xie He's persistence... At this time He can't dissuade him, he can only support him.
"Okay, I'll get it for you," Sawyer said.
[Ding, Sawyer's favorability is 10, and the current favorability is 80]
At this moment, there was a noise not far away, and it was obvious that someone was chasing him. Sawyer immediately lowered his head and disappeared into the crowd. Before leaving, he looked back at Xie He. Even in the crowd, the man seemed to be a world of his own, which made people's eyes stop.
He has the most unyielding and strongest soul... He is a well-deserved star of the Federation.
Xie He looked at Sawyer with a faint smile in his eyes, then turned and walked in another direction.
After a while, Lance's men found him, guarded him carefully, and sent him to Lance's suspension vehicle.
Lance looked at Xie He coldly, "You tried to escape."
Xie He said: "I was just washed away by the flow of people." Seeing that Lance didn't seem to believe it, he touched his neck and showed a self-deprecating smile: "What are you doubting, I can't escape from your palm at all , this is Emperor Star."
Lance pulled him over and pressed him in his arms, brushed his cheek with his fingertips, lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "It's better not."
Xie He let Lance hold him motionless, lowered his eyelashes, and his eyes were cold.
… … … … … … …
In the distant secret base of the unknown star field, Cecil sat in his room and watched the video played by the empire over and over again. Finally, he saw the person he was thinking of.
This is the fifty-sixth day that Xie He was captured. As long as he thinks of the torture he endured in these dark days, Cecil's heart will be suffocated with pain.
What did they do to you, and how did they coerce you, to force you to say such things? Put yourself in such a situation? But I can't save you... I'm so incompetent.
"Master Cecil, the meeting is about to begin." There was a knock on the door outside.
Cecil was silent for a while, looked down at another secret communication just received, his eyes gradually revealed a firm look, straightened his collar and walked out.
It is still the secret meeting of the highest level of the federation, but this time there are only four congressmen.
The last time Councilor Kent insisted on sending troops to clear Loren, Cecil was firmly against it, so that time he only sent a small team symbolically, while Councilor Kent and the two councilors who supported him mobilized most of their troops .
In the end, everyone already knew that the Federation suffered a disastrous defeat from the Empire's ambush, and Senator Kent suffered the heaviest loss. Cecil annexed his remaining forces without hesitation, and expelled him from the Supreme Council in one fell swoop. Now he is the one with the highest voice in the Federation.
No one can despise him anymore!
As long as the cancer of the Federation can be eradicated, so what if they use all means to deal with their own people? He will no longer have those stupid and naive thoughts.
Victory must be accompanied by sacrifice.
This meeting is aimed at Xie He's speech.
The two congressmen who opposed Cecil before looked at each other, hesitating whether to speak. From the last incident, it can be seen that Cecil attaches great importance to Loren, but they cannot sit idly by when something like this happened. No matter, it is really difficult.
But unexpectedly, Congressman Reid, who hardly spoke, spoke first this time. He opened his old and cloudy eyes and spoke slowly: "Loren's speech has greatly damaged our morale. We must do something immediately." respond."
Congressman Hans breathed a sigh of relief. He also suffered heavy losses in the raid on the Imperial Army last time. Now his power is not as good as before, and because of Cecil's methods, he dare not underestimate this young man. He saw Congressman Reed speak first. , then laughed and said: "I think so too, what's Congressman Cecil's opinion?"
Cecil glanced at him, with an almost imperceptible contempt flashing in his eyes, he said: "I completely agree with Congressman Reed, we must respond to this, and the morale of the Federation cannot be shaken by one person's betrayal !"
Everyone looked at him in surprise. They thought that persuading Cecil would be the most difficult part. He once turned the Federation upside down for Loren, but who knew that he would agree so readily this time!
Congressman Hans couldn't believe it, and asked again: "Then how do you think we should respond?"
Cecil said: "Since he publicly expressed his allegiance to the Empire, we must not allow him to continue to have the status of Federation Star, but to find a way to minimize the impact. We can say that he is an undercover agent arranged by the Empire to enter the Federation, The purpose is to find out the secrets of the Federation, but his identity was discovered by us, so he escaped from the Federation and returned to the embrace of the Empire. So... He was not our hero from the beginning to the end, all this is just a conspiracy of the Empire! In order to attack the Federation, they even resorted to such despicable means! Not only will those speeches not shake the morale of the army, but it will arouse people’s anger towards the Empire, thus turning this matter into our favor.”
What Cecil said made everyone dumbfounded. Although... they also thought so, and this was indeed the best way, but... they didn't dare to say it.
Hans looked at Cecil, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. This person... for his friends, he can also say that he would give up as soon as he gave up. This ruthlessness is really scary.
There was a moment of silence in the meeting room, and finally, Representative Reed said: "I think the suggestion of Representative Cecil is very good. Do you have any objections? If not, I think we should respond as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the more speculation people will have in their minds, and the effect will not be as good as it was at the beginning."
Hans and another congressman immediately said: "We have no objection!"
Congressman Reid said: "Very well, then this resolution is considered passed. Do you have anything to add?"
The two shook their heads again and again, "No more." Cecil has already done it ruthlessly!
At this moment, Cecil said again: "I have another proposal!"
Reed looked at him unexpectedly, and said in an old voice, "Please tell me."
"I propose to declare war on the Empire at the same time as issuing the statement!" Cecil's eyes were fixed, and he said word by word: "The Empire planted spies into our Federation, and finally used his disguised identity to join the Empire with great fanfare. It has caused a huge blow! Such an act of stepping on the face of the Federation, should we just swallow our anger and protest a few words without pain? Not enough! Not enough at all! Only war can express our anger! We want the empire Pay the price!"
Now even the expression on Reed's face was not calm. He looked at Cecil with cloudy eyes, sat up slightly, frowned and said, "Cecil, do you know what you are talking about?"
Congressman Hans almost jumped up: "Calm down! How could we declare war on the Empire!"
No wonder they made a fuss. For hundreds of years, the Federation has been hiding and hiding, only daring to raid the Imperial Army to fight guerrillas. In fact, they also tried to fight the Empire head-on at the beginning, but every time they ended in disastrous defeat... Later In order to better preserve their strength, they chose to evade and infiltrate, nibble and accumulate strength little by little, and no longer do the thing of hitting a stone with a pebble.
In the beginning, this was just a tactic, but as time went by, the fear deepened, and gradually... No one ever mentioned confronting the Empire head-on.
They took escape as a matter of course, and gradually lost their original courage.
Cecil stood up, his body was straight, and if there was sharpness in his eyes, he said in a deep voice: "I am very serious, and I am also very calm!"
"I don't think blindly escaping can bring us hope. Compared with creating a hero... Our declaration of war is the real hope of people, so that they can see that we dare to challenge the empire! We also have the courage and courage to challenge the empire." ability!"
"Since the empire can do such a thing, isn't it natural for us to fight back?! We have a large number of troops lurking in the northern part of the empire, and we can catch them by surprise!"
There was a silence in the meeting room.
Councilor Hans looked at him for a long time, then laughed dryly, "You're right, but my troops suffered heavy losses last time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this operation..." He wouldn't let his own people die.
The other two remained silent, apparently disapproving of this action.
Cecil stared at them, with a contemptuous smile on his lips, "It's okay, I will be responsible for this matter, you just need to stay behind."
After speaking, he turned and left the meeting room.
Cecil went back to his bedroom and opened another communication.
He had read this secret communication once before the meeting, so he made such a decision against the crowd.
The person in the communication is Sawyer. For the first time, he did not hide his appearance, but appeared in his true colors: "I know that my request will embarrass you, so in order to show my sincerity, I would like to tell you my real identity... And the reason why I choose you is because you are someone Loren trusts."
"I hope that you can declare war on the empire in the name of the federation, and send a large number of troops to attack the northern part of the empire, so that the empire must respond. My sphere of influence is in the northern part of the empire. At that time, the empire will definitely send me to fight. But I I won’t just send my own troops, I will ask other generals in the military department to send troops to assist me, and no matter who comes, we can join hands to catch the other emperors by surprise, and at the same time split a large star field in the northern part of the empire!”
"Of course, I know this is a very risky act, and you have reasons to consider it carefully, but I am eager to get your answer."
"Finally, Loren asked me to bring you a sentence. Please don't worry about him. In order to win, you must make a choice."
"He never betrayed you for a single moment."
The communication stopped abruptly.
Cecil's eyes were heavy. In order to win, there must be a trade-off... How could he not understand this truth.
It's only when you really have to make a choice that you realize it's such a pain. Just abandoning you is such a pain, so... Is it more painful for you who are forced to bear all these accusations
But this is your request, how can I be willing to let you down? How can you be willing to blame yourself for the loss you have brought to the Federation while you are suffering in the empire. The only thing I can do for you is to obey your will, so that you have no worries.
But when will you...will come back...
[Ding, Cecil's favorability is 5, and the current favorability is 90]
…………………………
[Xie He: Baby, I think Cecil will definitely love me more when we meet next time. smile jpg]
[444: You haven't seen each other recently (⊙o⊙)!]
[Xie He: But our hearts are connected, love, regardless of distance:)]
[444:...]
Although forced play is very exciting, Xie He thinks it is good to change the taste occasionally. Thanks to Sawyer's "tips", he decided to be a little more "obedient". Loren himself is an upright fighter, it is very difficult for him to act, but Xie He is not, he is best at acting, ha ha.
After that day, Xie He seldom resisted Lance, fully expressing his painful struggle of daring to speak out, but the grief and indignation of having to accept his fate.
Because of his cooperation, the level of sex life has reached a new level.
Lance is also much gentler to him, as long as Xie He doesn't resist him, he is willing to treat him better and pamper him.
This day Lance held Xie He in his arms again, and he found that he liked to hold this person more and more, even though it had been so long, this concern did not diminish at all, on the contrary, he couldn't put it down even more, his golden eyes flashed Shan said, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Xie He's eyes moved, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Lance smiled, pinched his chin and kissed him: "You have been very obedient recently, as a reward, I allow you to go out, but you are not allowed to leave my side too far, you know?"
Xie He was silent for a moment and nodded.
Lance helped Xie He get dressed and carried him out again.
The hovercar is parked in the largest business district of the empire, where the most precious treasures and the most beautiful slaves in the entire universe are located. You can buy anything, as long as you have money.
When he arrived at the destination, Xie He waved away Lance's hand to hold him, his face was ashamed and angry, he couldn't stand being hugged by a man in public.
Lance smiled without forcing, and said to him, "Go, as your master, I can buy you anything you want."
"I don't need it." Xie He's voice was cold.
After speaking, he turned around and left, a trace of nervousness and anxiety flashed in his eyes.
After several days, Lance finally agreed to let him out, will Sawyer come to see him? Did you get anything? He was walking on the street in a nervous mood, when he was suddenly caught by a video played on a huge screen.
In the video is a young man with gray hair and gray eyes, wearing the uniform of a high-ranking federal officer, his eyes are sharp and bright, he is full of heroic vigor and domineering.
His clear voice resounded throughout the area.
"Regarding the Empire's placement of spies into the Commonwealth... we are here to respond..."
"This is a huge insult to the Federation, we can't stand the despicable deeds of the Empire...so..."
"Here, on behalf of the Federation, I formally declare war on the Empire, and we will wash away our shame with blood!"
There was a look of shock in Xie He's eyes, he... knew that Cecil would handle that matter well, but what about declaring war
At this time, the onlookers found Xie He and exclaimed, "Isn't this a traitor from the Federation? So he is a spy sent by the Empire?"
"Speaking of which, he was originally a member of our empire, but he was wronged before." The eyes of everyone looking at Xie He suddenly became more cordial, and said, "Brother, you really bear the humiliation. I scolded you before. Sorry."
Xie He looked at those people expressionlessly, as if he didn't hear what they were saying at all. He just turned his head slowly and looked at Lance who was standing beside him with a smile, "This is what you want me to see, isn't it?"
Only then did those people see Lance behind them, and hurriedly dispersed in fright, and there were only the two of them left in that area.
Lance came over, took Xie He's waist, and smiled softly in his ear: "Yes, surprise? From now on, you are a member of the Empire, and the Federation has completely abandoned you."
Xie He looked at him fixedly: "They won't give up their resistance just because I'm alone, I knew this from the beginning."
"Really...then I have another surprise to tell you." Lance's lips almost touched Xie He's ear, and he said leisurely: "I appreciate the courage of the Federation to declare war on the Empire...so I decided to fight it myself."
