To be honest, when Xu Sili heard that the cat tribe was so fertile, the first thought that flashed through his mind was…
Family planning.
He couldn’t be blamed for it. After all, stray cats were rampant in modern times. The only measure humans could take was to sterilize them.
But obviously, this was a huge advantage of the mini cats, whose number was only over a hundred. Moreover, since they were so small in size, their destructive power actually wasn’t that great. As the native intelligent species of Bewatt, they would definitely be able to manage Bewatt well in the future with the help and education of the players.
This was provided that they could take back the planet from the lizardmen.
The chief of the cat tribe was an old man with white hair. The cat ears on his head and shot fur were also white. It wasn’t known if it turned white due to old age or if he was always a white cat.
Xu Sili quickly reined in his thoughts and communicated with the old chief.
This time, he had to take the initiative to contact the indigenous people of Bewatt Star.
The players secretly building a long-distance teleportation circle on the planet actually went beyond the scope of retaliation against the lizardmen. Once the teleportation circle was completed, the Roland Empire would be connected to Bewatt Star. With the stationing of an army of players with amazing destructive power here, it was actually not much different from a formal invasion.
Xu Sili wouldn’t be merciful when facing the lizardmen, but actively invading other nations would obviously affect the international image of the Roland Empire. Roland had finally developed now, and it couldn’t be destroyed due to this incident.
Moreover, according to the information collected by Xiao Wu, the lizardmen of the Bewatt Empire had discovered which nation the humans secretly helping the indigenous people belong to, and were preparing to expose it to the Interstellar Alliance.
After all, players weren’t shy about using their skills and the Roland Empire was so popular now. The battle videos of several instructors in the previous mecha competition had spread throughout the universe. There were few people who hadn’t seen it.
Xiao Wu had temporarily intercepted the information but this wasn’t a long-term solution.
If the communication between the Bewatt Empire and the outside world was completely blocked, Xiao Wu’s existence would most likely be exposed in the end. This wasn’t what Xu Sili wanted to see. Xiao Wu was his secret weapon to deal with the universe. If exposed, it would make the interstellar nations exposed and might also endanger Xiao Wu’s safety.
So he had to find a way to solve this problem.
Early in the morning, Yaheng came to the office as happily as usual.
It was because today was the salary payment day, and he was in a particularly good mood. The beauty and tourism industries in the Roland Empire were booming, and his current performance bonus had increased by several times. He had recently received orders from some nations that wanted to order ingredients from the Roland Empire.
If this deal could be concluded, it would be another huge income!
But obviously, others weren’t in the same good mood as him.
Yaheng had just greeted Adrian and the other team members and sat down in his seat when he saw Lake, the leader of the Bewatt liaison team next door, angrily rushing in from outside and walking straight to Adrian.
Due to the problems that had arisen one after another in the Bewatt Empire, the usually elegant and high-spirited team leader now looked much more embarrassed. He had dark circles under his eyes so heavy that it was like he had been beaten.
What was this person doing here?
Could it be that the pressure was too great and he couldn’t stand the rise of the Roland Empire, so he finally couldn’t help venting his anger?
Yaheng couldn’t help letting his mind wander. Then he heard the team leader speak in a low voice. His tone was full of restraint, but he was obviously very angry.
“Adrian, did you get the message?”
Adrian looked calm as he sat up straight and looked at Lake. “What do you mean?”
Lake put the folder in his hand on the desk and said with suppressed anger, “The Roland Empire interfered in the affairs of the Bewatt Empire and are preparing to send troops to Bewatt!”
At these words, Yaheng suddenly stood up.
He subconsciously said ‘impossible.’ Then he rushed over, picked up the folder and quickly opened it to read it.
Yaheng finally understood why Team Leader Lake was so angry.
In this interstellar world where most regions were at peace, taking the initiative to provoke an international war would be despised by everyone and even cause public anger!
The Interstellar Alliance had always been committed to the pursuit of peace. It couldn’t directly intervene in a war between two nations, but it had a set of punishment methods for nations that ignored dissuasion and blatantly invaded other nations. In serious cases, they might be directly expelled from the alliance.
As for the invaded nations, to be honest, the Interstellar Alliance couldn’t do anything.
The Interstellar Alliance might have a powerful army, but it had been stipulated since its establishment that this army could only be used for self-defense and maintaining interstellar order, such as clearing out star thieves. It couldn’t point its guns at any allied nation.
This was to prevent the alliance’s military from being exploited.
Therefore, Team Leader Lake didn’t want to see a war break out in the Bewatt Empire. At present, it was just a civil war and was within the controllable range. However, if two nations went to war, the nature of the war would be completely different!
However, Yaheng was certain that if the Roland Empire really invaded Bewatt, all the projects currently under discussion would be terminated. No matter how optimistic the Interstellar Alliance was about the Roland Empire, they would cancel all support plans. Then all their efforts during this period would be in vain.
Yaheng simply couldn’t accept such a thing!
The members of the Roland team were also attracted by the conflict. They knew that if Lake’s words were true, the consequences would be disastrous! They all looked at the center of the conflict nervously, but no one stepped forward, They all waited with bated breath.
On the other hand, Adrian remained calm.
As Yaheng flipped through the folder, Adrian leaned back in his chair and nodded. “I already know about this, but the facts might be different from what you said. I have reported it to my superiors, and an emergency meeting should be held today.”
He checked the time and said, “Team Leader Lake should’ve received the notice.”
Team Leader Lake’s face turned pale. He raised his hand to check the communicator and saw a notification of an emergency meeting in the unread messages.
In the end, he could only nod and say, “I don’t know what you mean by discrepancy, but there is no dispute about a war that is about to break out between two nations! This is a war instigated by the Roland Empire. Adrian, you had better find a way to stop this or you will be the ones to suffer!”
The Interstellar Alliance couldn’t send troops to help the invaded nation, but it could still provide a certain amount of war aid. Perhaps this could be a way for Lake’s team to come back to life.
But it was obvious that Team Leader Lake didn’t want it to go this far.
“Thank you for the reminder, Team Leader Lake,” Adrian said. “It is just a pity that things might not be as you imagined. There might be no way to deal with this matter…”
Team Leader Lake felt that Adrian was making excuses and was looking for death. This whole thing wouldn’t benefit either of their departments and would cause huge losses to the alliance.
He would be punished for his passive response!
“Oh, you take care of yourself!”
At these words, he turned away and continued to deal with the emergency.
In any case, for their liaison group, the worst outcome would only occur in the future. Once the war broke out, their trade volume would actually increase in the short term.
Once he returned to the office and saw that his team members were in a state of panic, he comforted them with words and gave them hope again.
Yes, war might be terrible but if it was unavoidable, money could still be made from it.
The young man who had transferred from Adrian’s group sighed with relief. Once he thought about what the Roland team, which had been booming recently, would encounter, he couldn’t help showing a malicious smile on his face. A different type of joy surged in his heart.
He made the right choice!
Roland’s team was about to be in big trouble! He had always been laughed at by Yaheng, and now that person was finally getting retribution!
However, he was completely unable to smile in the afternoon after the emergency meeting.
At the meeting, Adrian submitted a speech made by the indigenous people of Bewatt to the international community. They declared that they had officially established diplomatic relations with the Roland Empire and requested the Roland Empire to go to Bewatt to assist in driving the lizardmen out of their territory.
With the support of the party participating in the civil war, the Roland Empire couldn’t be said to have taken the initiative to provoke a war.
However, what was even more conclusive was—
Adrian’s submission included evidence that the lizardmen of the Bewatt Empire once attempted to invade the Roland Empire, and also caused a huge disaster in the Roland Empire six years ago. This directly led to the population of the Roland Empire dropping from hundreds of millions to tens of millions. The settlements also suffered a completely horrific destruction!
The hatred between the Roland Empire and the Bewatt Empire was irreconcilable! No one could forgive each other!
After they became strong again, they finally had the strength to take revenge. In the face of such detailed evidence, no one was in a position to stop this nation’s revenge.
In this whole incident, the Roland Empire was the complete victim.
The lizardmen of the Bewatt Empire were the troublemakers who attempted to destroy peace and caused such a huge tragedy!
According to the regulations, the Interstellar Alliance couldn’t stop it and even needed to initiate arbitration against the instigator, the Bewatt Empire!
Team Leader Lake flipped through all the documents until he finished reading the last page. Then he closed the file and slumped in the chair, completely exhausted.
The member who transferred from the Roland team also covered his face in despair.
Their group was finished, and so was he…
The Bewatt Empire was completely beyond saving!
