Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 550 Let's Go Home!
So he persuaded the Controller that instead of destroying humanity and turning them into war titans, it would be better to trade with humans, give them powerful weapons, and let them fight the Devourers, which would achieve the same effect!
Finally, the Controller agreed to try. Thus, Li Chenzhou's cooperation with the humans of the Doluo World began!!!
This lie was not very well-thought-out, and even the order was a bit wrong. However, Hu Tao believed that as long as he sent the video of them destroying the Devourers' branch nest first, and then let them know that the Devourers might have already called for reinforcements and their fleet was returning, those cowardly councilors would be too panicked to consider it!
Moreover, the Devourer army's attack was inevitable. Whether they believed it or not, they would eventually have to choose to cooperate with Li Chenzhou!
In addition, the most ruthless part of Hu Tao's plan was the last part, which was to ask the council members to keep it secret. In fact, Li Chenzhou's existence had already been spread, so in the eyes of ordinary people, Li Chenzhou was a human from another world.
In this way, when the Devourers broke through a base and captured the people inside, under torture, they would get two answers. One was from the mouths of ordinary people, saying that Li Chenzhou came from another world and that the things the Doluo World didn't have were all brought by him.
The other was that the members of the great families and the council, whose bones were not so hard, would definitely reveal that the Controller was behind Li Chenzhou.
In this way, the two answers would instead make the Devourers more convinced that Li Chenzhou was a person of the Controller. One reason was that this statement came from those noble humans, whose words were naturally more credible.
Another reason was that the Devourers were also certain that none of their pastures had such high technology, because this was something they would never allow.
Therefore, the Controller was the only suspect, and their attention would all be shifted to the Controller's side. Humans could then hide in the dark!
"Old Hu! Are you sure you want to do this?"
Du Gu Tianfeng was a little surprised by Hu Tao's choice. Although he had called his confidants here, the main defense force of each base was still the soldiers of the military.
Even if these soldiers had no contact with Hu Tao, Hu Tao must still have feelings for them.
And once this choice was made, allowing the Devourers to attack the exposed bases, the people left behind to entangle them would definitely be these soldiers, who would basically have no chance of escaping!
Therefore, Du Gu Tianfeng found it a little unbelievable that Hu Tao, this guy, could even abandon the soldiers of the military?
"What else can I do?"
Hu Tao shook his head and said with a wry smile,
"No matter what I choose, the chances of these soldiers surviving are actually not high. Then, it's better to... let their deaths become more valuable and make some contributions to our ultimate victory!"
As he spoke, Hu Tao looked up at the sky and sighed,
"I think, if they could know the truth, they would definitely agree with my choice! Because we are all soldiers!!!"
Looking at Hu Tao's expression, Du Gu Tianfeng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, then took out the video and planned to process it before sending it to the other bases!
"That's right! The transaction with them must wait until the Devourers have completely destroyed all the exposed bases before it can take place!"
Seeing that they had decided what to do, Li Chenzhou quickly reminded them!
"Don't worry! Little Li, now that we've decided, we'll do it thoroughly and without any scruples. It's better for some people to die than for everyone to die! Right?"
Hu Tao looked at Li Chenzhou and said, his eyes filled with inquiry, as if... he wanted to find evidence from Li Chenzhou that his choice was right!
"Of course! A merciful general does not make a good commander! As a decision-maker, what you have to do is to minimize losses—if losses are unavoidable!"
Li Chenzhou nodded.
"I understand!"
Hu Tao's expression was still a little黯然 (àn rán, disheartened), and he took a deep breath:
"Thank you, Little Li!"
Li Chenzhou didn't speak, and just quietly left!
The Devourer reinforcements should still need some time to descend on the Doluo World. Taking advantage of this time, he should also return to his own world to make some preparations!
So many days have passed, Grizzly should have already taken Mike and Tony back to Duan Lei and the others, right? I don't know how things are going over there now, but Li Chenzhou's slaughter points have been increasing, and none of his followers have died, so things should be going smoothly over there!
Although Li Chenzhou isn't there, Duan Lei and the others are all level three ability users after all, and they belong to the top of the pyramid in that world. Plus, with Duan Lei's meticulous thinking, there shouldn't be any problems.
Li Chenzhou plans to go back and take a look at the situation, and then leave a war fortress there. He will even leave some war chariots and star destroyers. In this way, that side will basically be invincible, allowing them to develop slowly.
Then, Li Chenzhou wants to bring some people over, but there is one thing that Li Chenzhou is not sure about, and that is whether the level of his own world will be affected if people from his world, such as Grizzly or Duan Lei, come to the Doluo World and increase their levels.
If it does, then calling people over will be meaningless, because if they can't increase their levels, even Li Chenzhou is just cannon fodder here, let alone others.
Thinking that Du Gu Tianfeng and the others have been in contact with people from other worlds and should know about this, Li Chenzhou went to find Du Gu Tianfeng!
"This... we really haven't paid attention to it! Because we don't pay much attention to low-level worlds!"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's question, Du Gu Tianfeng shook his head and said with a wry smile,
"We only contact level nine worlds. Those low-level worlds don't dare to contact us at all, in case we have other ideas?"
Li Chenzhou was stunned, and then suddenly realized. That's right, when he first came, didn't he also put on airs and pretend that the system's products were manufactured by his own world, in order to deter Hu Tao and the others?
To be honest, if he hadn't shown enough power, Hu Tao and the others might have really thought of invading Li Chenzhou's world and sending their people in.
It was because Li Chenzhou was strong enough, and the star destroyers, war chariots, war fortresses, and other great weapons kept appearing, that no one knew if he had even stronger weapons. That's why they are so harmonious now. In the end, it's still because they have concerns...
