False Court
Chapter 851 Threat
Su Mo rolled his eyes, annoyed.
"Then go argue with them. Didn't you see that V-generation mech? That mech is meant to deal with you."
False Court·Devourer coldly reminded him.
"Never mind I said anything. Once my V-generation mech is out, I'll teach them a lesson. But just with one mech, wanting seventy percent of the shipping lanes is unrealistic."
Su Mo also decisively chickened out. These guys are really awesome; they actually made a V-generation mech.
"That's not necessarily true."
False Court·Devourer replied in a low voice.
"The Alliance nations won't agree. Look at the comments flooding the live stream and the situation on the forum."
Su Mo directly showed the forum to False Court·Devourer.
At this time, inside the Star Ring Forum live stream, the citizens of the Alliance nations watching the live broadcast were already in an uproar.
All kinds of curses were spewing out, and the entire forum was filled with骂声.
"Bandits are just bandits!"
"Absolutely no concessions. If necessary, let's go to war!"
"Is this how you bully people?"
"In this situation, whoever dares to agree should just go home and farm."
Su Mo replied helplessly.
In fact, Su Mo was right. Although Mao Duo and the others saw the V-generation mech and felt immense pressure, none of them dared to budge.
No one wanted to be cursed to death by their own citizens.
---------------
Inside the conference hall.
Emperor Mokajafa looked at Arlais and the others, who were determined not to compromise, and was not angry.
He revealed a playful smile and said to everyone.
"Don't be so quick to reject it. There are other reasons why I want seventy percent of the shipping lanes."
"No matter the reason, absolutely impossible. This is a matter of principle."
Mao Duo looked at Emperor Mokajafa's calm expression, and he had a very bad premonition, but he could only keep emphasizing that he would not back down.
"Don't speak so definitively. I'll show you something else. I believe you'll understand my difficulties in wanting seventy percent of the shipping lanes after you see it. I'm doing this for your own good."
Mokajafa raised his hand again and snapped his fingers, and a virtual image popped up.
In a dark starry sky, a super-magnificent warship came into everyone's eyes. The entire warship was 200 kilometers long, and its armor was red. Its bow protruded with a 10-kilometer-long meteorite cannon, and the ship was densely covered with rows of launch ports and countless interceptor guards.
Behind it followed 24 Level 5 standard battleships.
In an instant, Arlais and the others stood up abruptly, their steady faces revealing expressions of horror.
"Star Destroyer Fleet!"
"That's right, good eye. This is the Star Destroyer Fleet of my empire's new armament. There's no way around it; this fleet of mine is too large. If the shipping lanes are too small, it can't maneuver. Maybe it will intrude into other shipping lanes, and if that causes any unpleasant incidents, that would be bad, don't you think?"
Mokajafa threatened blatantly.
Arlais's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp. Even if he were stupid, he could hear the other party's threatening meaning.
He wanted to retort, but reason told him that he absolutely couldn't!
At least not to fall out with the other party now.
If they broke off the negotiations now, the consequences would be serious.
The Gomotos Empire would definitely blockade the entire shipping lane. They had Star Destroyers and V-generation mechs in hand and feared no one! On the other hand, they would suffer a fatal blow.
This time, it was really a miscalculation. He never thought that the Gomotos Empire could turn the tide.
At the critical moment, they got a Star Destroyer, catching them off guard.
Mokajafa looked at the reactions of Arlais and the other five and showed a satisfied smile. This was the effect he wanted.
He was not worried that the Alliance nations would not give in. In the face of absolute force, don't talk to him about fairness and justice; might makes right!
To be honest, if the Star Ring City hadn't been suppressing them and forbidding them from engaging in all-out war,
Would he be sitting here? He would have flipped the table long ago and ordered the Star Destroyers to destroy these people's home planets, so they could experience what absolute terror is.
Su Mo, who was watching the live broadcast, also had his eyes wide open.
"How did this group of imperial troops manage it? Wasn't it said that there were no existing ships?"
"You can get your hands on a Star Destroyer; it's not surprising that they can get one too. After all, the means are there."
False Court·Devourer replied as if it were commonplace.
"Wait, let me ask you, is his Star Destroyer stronger, or is mine stronger?"
Su Mo asked a little worriedly.
"Of course, yours is stronger. In a one-on-one head-on confrontation, as long as your commander's brain hasn't been kicked by a donkey, you can definitely destroy the other party's Star Destroyer."
False Court·Devourer replied confidently.
"Phew, that's good."
Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was good as long as his ship was stronger than the other party's.
"Don't be happy too soon. Their ship has already left port; your ship is still lying in the harbor."
False Court·Devourer reminded in a low voice.
"Those are all minor matters. The main thing is that these negotiations are not going to be easy. These guys are threatening us nakedly. It's obvious that if you don't give it to me, I'll beat you."
Su Mo replied helplessly.
"It has nothing to do with you."
False Court·Devourer replied coldly.
Su Mo touched his forehead, feeling his head ache even more. He browsed the forum a little.
The citizens of the Gomotos Empire were enthusiastically cheering on the forum, constantly spamming "Long live the Emperor."
The people of the Alliance nations were leaving messages dejectedly.
"It's over, it's really over this time."
"Who was it who said yesterday that the Gomotos Empire's Star Destroyer wouldn't come out so quickly, saying it would take two or three years? I'll beat you to death, aren't you screwing people over?"
"The shipping lanes are not safe."
Inside the conference room, after a brief daze, Arlais and the other five sat down again and huddled together, discussing in low voices.
Emperor Mokajafa was not in a hurry, allowing them to discuss.
In his eyes, the overall situation was set. No matter how they discussed, it was useless.
Emperor Andesim and the others watched all this with smiles on their faces. They also felt extremely happy.
Seventy percent of the shipping lanes was enough for them to divide.
Although Emperor Mokajafa would get a larger share, it didn't matter. It was better than the Alliance nations' five countries dividing thirty percent.
Also, Emperor Mokajafa would definitely choose the shipping lane areas with better locations.
No matter what, they were making a steady profit.
At this time, Luther asked worriedly, "What do we do now? We can't possibly agree, right?"
"No, if we agree, the people below will definitely explode. Then our own foundations will be unstable."
Amylo saw it very clearly.
Mao Duo said in a deep voice, "The problem is that once we refuse, the other party will definitely tear up the agreement and start a war. The other party has Star Destroyers and can attack our fleets unscrupulously. We don't have the ability to fight back yet."
"This won't work, and that won't work? It's a dead end."
Memikas replied listlessly.
Arlais's eyes flickered for a moment. He said in a low voice, "Let's adjourn the meeting, delay the time, and find a solution."
"Will the other party agree?"
Amylo asked worriedly.
"We have no other way to go."
"Okay, let's do that."
Thus, Arlais stood up again, facing Emperor Mokajafa.
"Emperor Mokajafa."
"What? Have you discussed it? Have you thought it through?"
"I think there have been too many sudden events in today's negotiations, and we need time to consider. Therefore, we suggest adjourning the meeting for seven days and then talking again!"
Arlais said.
Emperor Mokajafa could see at a glance that Arlais and the others were planning to play for time.
But he didn't care. What waves could seven days make? In the face of absolute strength, there was only despair.
So he said arrogantly, "Okay, seven days it is!"
Of course, there was another reason why Emperor Mokajafa agreed to suspend the meeting, and that was that he didn't want to push the other party too far.
"Good."
Hearing Emperor Mokajafa's agreement, Mao Duo and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They all replied.
