The King of Special Warfare Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Alliance

Eyme was not far from Recchi City.

It was merely a distance of a few hundred kilometers. At full speed, it was only a few hours' drive.

Therefore, Chen Qingluan, the vice marshal of the Snowdance Corps, came quickly.

He had no idea what was going to happen when he drove at full speed with the Arctic Ocean Command's military off-road vehicle until it entered Recchi City.

The ignorant were fearless.

Chen Qingluan was not only ignorant but also ambitious.

Chen Qingluan's military career began in Beihai Province. From beginning to end, he progressed step by step within the Beihai Corps.

The Wang family of Beihai was arguably the strongest superpower in the entire Dark World.

It was a thing recognized by the world.

And it was recognized for many reasons. For example, the Sword Emperor Wang Tianzong was the most powerful in the world, the Wang family of Beihai had a long history and abundant resources, the kendo of the Wang family of Beihai almost represented the pinnacle of the Dark World, and the Wang family of Beihai occupied Beihai Province but actually controlled a powerful group that was able to influence Zhongzhou State.

These were the reasons.

But the most important reason was that the Wang family of Beihai had Beihai Province and the Beihai Corps.

The surname of Beihai Province was Wang.

That was true both on the surface and in essence.

The Beihai Corps was the strongest force that enabled the Wang family of Beihai to look down on the entire Dark World.

The Devil Troop was mysterious, and the Heaven Punishment Troop was powerful, but all the troops were not as good as the Beihai Corps because of the number of people.

The entire Beihai Corps had 350,000 troops, with navy, land force, and air force. Furthermore, they were all equipped with the most advanced weapons in the world. If necessary, a single military order from Mount Dibing could mobilize millions of troops equipped with the most complete weapons and equipment within a week.

What did that mean?

It was a mighty force that could tear apart anything.

Of all the super-dark forces in the world, only the Wang family of Beihai had hundreds of thousands of the most elite troops on the surface.

It was merely something on the surface!

This kind of force was so powerful that it was no exaggeration to say that even if Wang Tianzong were killed in Eastern Europe in a war, the Wang family of Beihai would not collapse as long as the Beihai Corps still existed.

The experts inside the Beihai Corps were untold. That was the power that really made Mount Dibing as stable as Mount Tai.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Qingluan was not happy in the Beihai Corps.

His status in the Beihai Corps was not low, and he was a real high-level official, but his stance had left many people with subtle attitudes and afraid to open their hearts to him because he was Wang Qinglei's trusted subordinate.

The Wang family was very big.

There were many internal branches.

Each branch had its own location in Beihai and even in Mount Dibing.

But Wang Tianzong had been clutching the most critical Beihai Corps in his hand.

In the Beihai Corps, more than 80% of the middle and high-ranking officers had only Wang Tianzong in their eyes.

Under such circumstances, one could imagine how difficult it was for Chen Qingluan—Wang Qinglei's trusted subordinate, to get along with others in the Beihai Corps.

Wang Qinglei had become more and more important in recent years.

The differences between him and Wang Tianzong gradually became apparent.

But before everything was made public, no one said anything on the surface.

Wang Tianzong had never expressed any opinion on Chen Qingluan staying in the Beihai Corps.

Yet, during the chaos in Eastern Europe, Wang Tianzong found a chance and transferred him out of the Beihai Corps to the Snowdance Corps.

The vice marshal of the largest Special Warfare Battalion in Zhongzhou State.

A position with infinite possibilities.

Chen Qingluan was very pleased. Wang Qinglei also acquiesced in this arrangement. After this transfer operation was successful, Chen Qingluan's position in the Beihai Corps was naturally replaced by Wang Tianzong's trusted subordinate, and Wang Qinglei said nothing.

So in this transfer, the two giants of the Wang family of Beihai reached a consensus silently.

Be it Wang Tianzong or Wang Qinglei, they all hoped that Chen Qingluan could make Li Tianlan a mere figurehead in the Snowdance Corps and take the Special Warfare Battalion under control.

Chen Qingluan was placed with high hopes, and he was continually looking for opportunities while under great pressure.

Li Tianlan falling into a coma due to serious injury was the best opportunity for him.

It was just that he could sit still at the beginning and was able to observe the situation in Eyme calmly.

But as rumors spread in the outside world, Chen Qingluan's ambition began to expand.

Throughout Eastern Europe, rumor had it that Li Tianlan was too severely injured, completely lost his foundation, and even died.

Chen Qingluan's own strength was only half a step away from the Half-step Invincible Realm.

He didn't quite believe that Li Tianlan would lose his foundation totally.

However, he was not optimistic about Li Tianlan's injury.

He had not yet officially entered the Invincible Realm.

But, within a day, he had killed two Invincible Realm experts.

How could such a severe injury heal so easily?

Chen Qingluan conservatively estimated that Li Tianlan needed at least half a year to recuperate to restore a certain degree of combat capability.

The rumors in the outside world were increasing.

Li Tianlan was unconscious.

This further proved Chen Qingluan's speculation.

He waited patiently for ten days.

When he was running out of patience, he finally couldn't help but directly dial the number of Drifting Cloud, the deputy commander of the Snowdance Corps.

If the morale of the troops was unstable, everything would go wrong.

The marshal was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the vice marshal temporarily controlled the overall situation.

The reason was absolutely logical.

No one could stop him from going to Recchi City.

He was weak in the Snowdance Corps, and only about 5,000 people obeyed his instructions, which caused him a headache.

Even if he used military orders to force Li Zonghu out of Recchi City after taking control of the situation, the 5,000 people who belonged to him were still slightly weaker in Recchi City.

So he needed the strong support of Wang Tianzong.

That was also the key reason why Chen Qingluan couldn't wait to come to Recchi City from Eyme.

The 5,000 elite troops in Eyme were ready to go.

Chen Qingluan almost rushed to the Caesar Grand Hotel in Recchi City without hesitation.

It was still raining in Eastern Europe, and the rain was messy and cold.

The travel-stained Chen Qingluan felt something wrong the moment he entered the lobby.

The lobby of the Caesar Grand Hotel was luxurious, but in the splendid space, it seemed a bit cold and quiet.

In the rest area, some seemingly unrelated white people were chatting on the sofa in a whisper. When Chen Qingluan came in, almost everyone's eyes rested on him for a moment.

A very subtle feeling emerged in Chen Qingluan's heart.

It was like being surrounded.

The very hot and charming receptionist at the front desk smiled and said, “Sorry, sir. The hotel is fully booked. I suggest you…”

But before she could finish, Chen Qingluan had interrupted her. “I'm not staying. I'm looking for someone.”

The smile of the receptionist at the front desk faded a little, and she looked at Chen Qingluan in confusion.

“I'm looking for someone living in room 20…”

“Vice Marshal Chen?”

A voice suddenly sounded behind Chen Qingluan.

Chen Qingluan turned around in confusion, and in his sight came a middle-aged woman wearing the uniform of the lobby manager.

Chen Qingluan thought she looked familiar, but he forgot where he had met her.

The middle-aged but still dignified and elegant woman offered her hand and smiled. “Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Poppy from the Shadow Throne. Now, I'm the manager of the Caesar Hotel.”

Poppy.

Chen Qingluan suddenly remembered her. Knowing the origin of the other party, he suddenly realized something as he looked at the white men and women in the lobby.

“Is this place occupied by the Shadow Throne?”

Chen Qingluan laughed.

“The queen doesn't like to have too many strangers around her, so we temporarily evacuated all the strangers. Now it is the station of the Shadow Throne.”

Poppy shook hands with Chen Qingluan. “The queen is aware of your intention, but you may have to wait a moment. Now His Majesty, the Sword Emperor, is entertaining an important guest and may not have time to meet you for the time being.”

Chen Qingluan frowned and looked outside the hotel.

Lights lit up the streets outside the hotel, and the sky was gradually getting darker. The wind was still howling, and it was still raining.

Chen Qingluan said, “But I also have something important to talk to His Majesty.”

“Trust me.”

Poppy whispered, “The guest His Majesty is entertaining is more important than anything else, and it won't be long. Follow me.”

For Wang Tianzong, the most important person at this stage for him was the one who could break the deadlock in Eastern Europe.

At this moment, the one in front of him was a person who could break the deadlock.

The luxurious hotel suite was warm and bright.

Wang Tianzong, in a casual suit, sat on the sofa and looked at the man opposite him quietly.

Opposite him was an extremely tall and sturdy tramp.

The tramp's body was very strong and dirty at the same time. His clothes did not seem to have been washed for a long time. After being soaked by the rain, the clothes gave off a very strange smell.

He was separated from Wang Tianzong by a coffee table.

The coffee table was heaped with food.

Fresh and tender steak, superior goose liver, caviar, salad, bread slices…

Wang Tianzong looked at the tramp.

The tramp almost lay on the coffee table.

He emptied the coffee table that was heaped with food.

The second dining car was pushed up.

The dishes were served and disappeared like running water.

Wang Tianzong watched the tramp gobble quietly with a strange look and seemed to be looking at some interesting scenery.

The tramp suddenly muttered, “You're surprised about this?”

He did not look up, and his tone was very casual, but between the lines, there was naked indifference and majesty.

“If you were me, shouldn't you be surprised about that? As the seventh on the Divine List, you, Tyrant, should have this day. Who could have imagined it without seeing it?”

The one sitting opposite to Wang Tianzong was Tyrant.

Wang Tianzong spent an afternoon thinking about the problems of the Samsara and Qin Weibai.

He knew that some speculations might be ridiculous, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

Just when he really couldn't help but ask the Shadow Throne to take the lead in breaking the deadlock, Xuan Ming finally brought him the news of Tyrant.

Wang Tianzong had always been in luck.

It was the same this time.

With clear news, Xuan Ming moved quickly. Within two hours, Tyrant was invited to the room of Wang Tianzong in the Caesar Hotel.

Tyrant seemed to snort but did not speak. He just focused on the food in front of him.

“How did you get yourself into this state? With your strength, if you weren't dead, you wouldn't be so down and out.”

“What do you know?!”

Tyrant raised his fist and smashed the coffee table.

The coffee table remained unmoved.

But the whole hotel seemed to shake.

Wang Tianzong gave an exclamation. “Huh?”

Tyrant gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. “I was seriously wounded the day when I fought the Master of Samsara Palace. Although I barely escaped, the Samsara Palace has never stopped chasing me. If it hadn't been for my own experience, I would never have believed that the Samsara Palace had such horrible power in Eastern Europe. Moreover, they have a relationship with the Qin Clan. The Samsara Palace is looking for me, and the Qin Clan is looking for me, too. The Violet and Morton families do not know the inside information, and they are also looking for me! Now in every country in Eastern Europe, countless people have been tracing my whereabouts. Do you think I want to make myself as disgusting as I am now?!”

Tyrant's tone was deeply ingrained with resentment.

While he was talking, two more steaks were eaten by him.

“Was it the Master of Samsara Palace who hurt you?”

Wang Tianzong asked thoughtfully, “Are you sure?”

“Of course I'm sure! That bitch!” Tyrant roared coldly.

“The Master of Samsara Palace…”

Wang Tianzong hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, “What about her strength?”

Few people in the Dark World had seen the Master of Samsara Palace.

Wang Tianzong had met her.

They even confronted each other.

Strangely enough, Wang Tianzong had difficulty in determining the specific realm of the Master of Samsara Palace.

More than three years ago, the Master of Samsara Palace led the 12 Super Masters to Mount Dibing. At that time, Wang Tianzong felt that the state of the Master of Samsara Palace was strange.

Her realm had always been fluctuating at the peak of the Invincible Realm, and it was extremely unstable. Normally, it was almost impossible for such a state to appear, but it was not absolutely impossible.

At least there was one such person beside Wang Tianzong.

Summer Solstice.

Could it be that the Master of Samsara Palace was also a person who had lost all her foundation?

If not, how could her state be so volatile?

Tyrant paused for a while as he ate. His eyes were still furious, but he became serious.

“At the peak of the Invincible Realm!”

Tyrant said, “She is absolutely at the peak of the Invincible Realm, and there is nothing wrong with it.”

Wang Tianzong replied, “Oh.”

There were very few Invincible Realm experts in the Dark World.

Thus, there were fewer experts at the peak of the Invincible Realm.

Normally, the ones who were at the peak of the Invincible Realm were the top five on the Divine List.

It was just that the quality of the Divine List had declined slightly in the past few decades, so that Gu Xingyun, the God of War of Zhongzhou State, who was infinitely close to the peak of the Invincible Realm, had also made it into the top five.

Tyrant was actually very close to this level.

He clearly fought the Master of Samsara Palace, so it was impossible for his judgment to be wrong.

However…

Wang Tianzong shook his head. Instead of relief, there was more and more confusion in his eyes.

“She is cunning and powerful, but her sword intent is a little strange. I can't tell the feeling… but… it's weird. If not, how could I lose to her so embarrassingly? Bitch! That bitch!”

Tyrant clenched his fists somewhat irritably.

“You have resentment.”

Wang Tianzong laughed.

Tyrant snorted and said nothing.

“Resentment is good.”

Wang Tianzong continued, “I need your resentment. Why don't you and I cooperate? In today's situation, I need you to take action twice.”

Tyrant buried himself in his food and seemed to hear nothing from Wang Tianzong.

Wang Tianzong took out a small bottle and placed it in front of Tyrant. “There is a Balance Potion here. You should have heard of this potion. It will allow you to recover most of your injuries in the fastest time. It is one of the core potions of the Wang family of Beihai.”

The bottle of the Balance Potion was small, and the potion inside had a strange light blue color, which looked extremely magnificent under the lights.

Tyrant ate without saying a word and did not even shoot a glance at the extremely precious Balance Potion, which was already similar to a legend even in the Dark World.

The Wang family of Beihai's technology on producing genetic potion was absolutely powerful.

However, no matter how powerful the technology was, the Wang family of Beihai could by no means produce a kind of potion that enabled an Invincible Realm expert on the Divine List to recover most of his injuries in a short period of time.

The Balance Potion had always been a legend in the Dark World. It may not be as precious as the Immortal Series, but it was similarly valuable. It had appeared twice on the black market and had sold for more than ten billion. What followed was also a bloodbath.

This bottle of Balance Potion, without exaggeration, meant an extra life to an Invincible Realm expert on the Divine List.

The life of an Invincible Realm expert on the Divine List was worth ten billion.

“Indefinite Grace is in my hand.”

Wang Tianzong continued, “Within three days, Indefinite Grace will be delivered to you. You should have recovered pretty much by then. I need you to break the deadlock in Eastern Europe today with the power you had in your heyday and to help me in the final decisive battle.”

Tyrant's act of eating slowed down.

He looked at the Balance Potion on the table and then looked up at Wang Tianzong.

“Huh?”

He uttered a syllable.

Facing Tyrant, Wang Tianzong reached out his hand.

His palms were full of calluses and didn't look like those of a patriarch of a super-wealthy family. They seemed very old but also very powerful.

“After the chaos ends, I will leave everything in Eastern Europe to you if I can catch Eastern Europe.”

Wang Tianzong's tone was calm.

Tyrant's body trembled.

If Wang Tianzong could really catch Eastern Europe, everything that Tyrant would take care of was tantamount to another Polar Ground Alliance.

Nevertheless, it was not the Polar Ground Alliance of Eastern Europe.

It was the Polar Ground Alliance of Beihai.

Tyrant took a deep breath and stretched out his hands.

He held Wang Tianzong's hand with one hand, and the other hand grabbed the bottle of the Balance Potion.

“I will take action,” Tyrant said, his tone solemn and serious.

Wang Tianzong nodded and suddenly reminded him, “You should take a bath.”

The wind and rain became cooler.

In the floating restaurant in the Office of the President, Li Tianlan was having dinner with the Holy Virgin Angel of the Vatican.

Her Highness Angle, who was second only to one person in the Vatican, still wore a white veil, mysterious and noble.

Several male Holy Punishment Priests stood behind Angel respectfully, looking solemn and serious.

Li Tianlan had made an appointment with Angel and Aresis.

But the latter didn't appear in order to maintain his majesty as the third place on the Divine List.

Li Tianlan didn't care. He cut the steak in front of him casually and chuckled. “Her Highness, I wonder how the Vatican sees the current situation in Recchi City.”

“It's too chaotic, and we can't see the way forward,” Angel said with a smile, her voice soft.

Li Tianlan nodded and suddenly said, “I don't like chaos.”

“Chaos means darkness. We are all God's people and should be bathed in light. From this point of view, Your Highness, you are a good fit for our faith.”

Angel smiled softly and holy. “Your Highness, do you have faith?”

“No.”

Li Tianlan slowly said, “But Protestantism is said to have developed well in Zhongzhou State in recent years.”

“They're all heretics,” said Angel, her voice extremely smooth and soft.

However, the eyes of the several Holy Punishment Priests behind her turned cold when they heard the Protestantism.

“What about Wulan State?”

Li Tianlan continued, “As far as I know, many people in Wulan State are believers of the Eastern Church. It seems that when the patriarch visited Wulan State, there were enduring cheers in Recchi City. Tsk tsk…”

Li Tianlan smiled and shook his head.

“Those are poor people who have gone astray. I came on behalf of the Vatican, hoping that they could change their beliefs. Only the Vatican is God's spokesperson in the world.”

Angel's voice was soft and weak.

But “changing the beliefs” had never been achieved by a gentle means.

Li Tianlan dropped his eyelids and ate, saying calmly, “I can help you.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Angel laughed and seemed very happy.

Li Tianlan didn't say more and just focused on the steak in front of him.

Angel remained silent for a while and suddenly said, “Your Highness, the Vatican always treats friends with sincerity. We will not receive your help for free and will offer you sufficient compensation. I wonder what you want, Your Highness?”

Li Tianlan said, “I want Aresis to take action for me once.”

Angel frowned, meditating.

The geographical location of Wulan State was critical. It was one of the core places for the Vatican to spread its belief. Given Li Tianlan's power in Wulan State now, if he were willing to help, it would be effortless for the Vatican to change the entire Wulan State's faith. Such a favor was indeed worth a strike from Aresis.

Angel thought for a moment and asked, “When?”

“Tonight.”

Li Tianlan's tone was calm, but as he spoke, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing through the Office of the President.

To take action tonight?!!

It seemed to be already night.

Angel trembled slightly and asked subconsciously, “Who is he going to strike?”

Li Tianlan didn't speak.

“Time… It seems a bit rushed.”

Angel frowned. “Too many things can't be arranged.”

“It must be tonight.”

Li Tianlan grew calmer.

Angel fell silent, seemingly calculating something.

For the theocratic power of Wulan State and that of the several countries around Wulan State, it was not a big problem for Aresis to take action. But as she said, there was something wrong with taking action rashly tonight.

Li Tianlan took a sip of red wine. Just as he picked up the knife and fork, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

Li Tianlan froze and took out his mobile phone.

It was not a phone call but a text message.

“Tianlan, I'm in Recchi City.”

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes.

He kept silent for a long while before sending a text message, which was a bit long, back. He pressed the screen for almost a minute.

Angel watched Li Tianlan texting silently.

Li Tianlan texted and explained casually, “An elder.”

Before Angel could speak, he continued, “It's Okay for Aresis not to take action, but Mellad, the vice commander of the Holy Disarmament Corps, as well as 100 elite troops in the corps, must help me do something tonight.”

“Your Highness…”

Angel took a deep breath and solemnly said, “I can promise you, but you must tell me, where do you want the elite troops of the Vatican to go tonight?”

Li Tianlan lowered his head and finished the last steak, saying calmly, “Caesar Hotel.”
