Chapter 1 A New Beginning

A new civilization actually had a strong resilience and resistance. They should have knelt down obediently, but unexpectedly, humanity came along and repeatedly pulled and tugged, fussing and procrastinating. They didn't refuse, but they didn't agree either. Every time they were pressured, they said they would do it right away, and then they would find some clause in the Star River Treaty to continue dragging things out.

Shamo Ke had been dragging this matter out for a month, something he thought he could take down quickly. He was worried about not having an excuse, but unexpectedly, humanity delivered one to his doorstep. He needed to apply extreme pressure!

Moreover, Shamo Ke received news that the one who took action this time was a high-level human warrior, the champion of the human mech competition, similar to the king in the Lartu warrior arena. This person's performance in the civilization war was also astonishing, meaning his actions were a provocation to the Lartu Empire.

A full-scale war was currently unlikely, but how would humanity know that he could apply pressure to the highest degree? At the very least, he wanted to kill a batch of humans to sort out the prestige of the orcs. It would be best if he could transport a batch of slaves back. The price of high-quality humans on the black market was already shocking.

He looked at the silent, grafted insect-man beside him with disdain. This kind of defective product was just lucky, but as long as the orcs completed their actual occupation of Kepler, this trash would be useless.

The orcs as a whole were rude and vulgar, but at the level of leader, crudeness and mania were just a means to achieve their goals. During this time, the humans had served him very comfortably. This kind of celestial-like appearance was very stunning, except that their bodies were a little weak and couldn't withstand much. He glanced at Polina beside Romero, thinking that if Romero became useless in the future, he would definitely enjoy this little girl.

Polina felt Shamo Ke's gaze and turned her head, revealing a charming and weak smile, which made Shamo Ke's heart itch. But on the surface, he was able to restrain his impulse. Not to mention that Romero's strength was not weak, this hybrid's personal combat power had already exceeded that of ordinary Star River warriors, although he was still no match for Shamo Ke.

Maximus, Asashoryu, and Musashi, when piloting mechs, were actually not much worse than Romero. However, the problem with mechs was that they became a huge burden on the pilots under high gravity. If it weren't for the help of k23 elements, they would be exhausted to death. Even so, their combat power still dropped a lot. In the final analysis, the human body was still too weak on the cosmic level. They could perform well in a familiar environment like the solar system, but the environment of other galaxies was different. Unstable combat power also led to them being at a disadvantage in the selection of Star River warriors. Currently, the evaluation of human warriors by other civilizations was: exquisite toys.

In comparison, Romero's silicon-based insect body had a huge advantage.

Finally, the spaceship landed. Obviously, the passengers on the ship felt that the atmosphere outside was not good, and they all wanted to testify for Li Hao. Li Hao smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone, that's not necessary. Luo Ziyang, escort everyone off the ship first."

The important thing about this kind of thing was not evidence, nor right or wrong.

"Yes!" Luo Ziyang arranged for the team members to let everyone leave the spaceship in an orderly manner. They walked last, carrying two bruised and swollen diplomats and three corpses.

Shamo Ke's gaze had already swept over the corpses of his subordinates, and emotions surged in his heart. These lowly creatures dared to be so ruthless! But soon he smelled something different. There were no traces of hot weapons on the three corpses. Ordinary hot weapons could not cause fatal wounds to their bodies either. These were all brave Lartu warriors. His pupils contracted. He saw the dents in their bodies, but he couldn't feel the fluctuation of power from the human in front of him. He seemed like a useless fighter. It was a bit strange.

"Governor Romero, this is a blatant provocation to the Empire! The perpetrators must be severely punished!" Shamo Ke said in a deep voice, "If you can't give a satisfactory result, I will do it myself."

Romero smiled noncommittally, "General Shamo Ke, don't be anxious."

Li Hao didn't seem to care about the tense situation at all, and didn't even look at the orcs. Romero showed a long-lost smile, "Li Ge, welcome back."

Li Hao nodded, but didn't smile. He turned to look at Shamo Ke, "Did you eat someone?"

Shamo Ke was stunned, frowned. He hadn't really tried it, but he wasn't stupid, "I don't know what you're talking about. Kneel down and await the judgment of the Lartu Empire!"

Suddenly, Li Hao's figure disappeared. Shamo Ke's body instantly swelled. He felt a strong threat. The strength and toughness of the orc body were also far superior to humans, and he was even one of the best. But his body stopped swelling halfway. The next second, he saw his body. Li Hao had already taken off his head.

"Kill them all!" Li Hao said lightly.

Human warriors and insect-men immediately surrounded the remaining orcs. Before long, the remaining orcs were subdued. A few were killed, and a few were left alive.

"What are you doing? Are you keeping them to waste air?" Li Hao frowned.

"Don't, don't kill! We are Lartu people! You have no right to judge! You don't even have hymns! You are violating the Star River Treaty!" an orc shouted hysterically.

Li Hao looked coldly at these sturdy beasts, "This is human territory. Your madness has crossed the line. You beasts are talking to me about contracts?"

The warriors were immediately excited. It wasn't that they didn't dare to kill, but they were afraid of causing trouble for Li Wu. But obviously, their commander was not afraid of this kind of trouble.

Soon, the other orcs were hammered into meat paste in Jing Xiao. The humans who saw this scene at the big spaceport were completely沸腾(boiling) with excitement and cheered collectively. The higher-ups might see the civilized side of the orcs, but down here, the things the orcs had done were not what they seemed on the surface.

Some creatures of other civilizations were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

Li Hao didn't care at all, "Romero, how did you become so effeminate after only a year?"

Romero smiled wryly, "When it comes to ruthlessness, it's still Li Mo. I was wrong, let's talk slowly."

Polina was unhappy, "Li Ge, you can't say that. Who knows where you've been having fun? It's good enough for ants like us who survive in the cracks to be alive."

Li Hao was stunned, looked at Polina, and then looked at Romero. Romero smiled wryly, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I really don't have much of an opinion on some things. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm worried about causing trouble for the solar system. It's good that you're here."

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, "The sky won't fall. The Lartu orcs have a very bad reputation in the Star Alliance. There are not a few races who want to fuck their ancestors. Collect and compile their deeds and submit them to the Star Alliance to see what the Star Alliance says. A punch to break it open, a hundred punches to keep it open!"

Humans don't have much empathy for other races, let alone other creatures. Once the orcs can do whatever they want in the human world, what will happen to other civilizations? They will only intensify!

At this time, everyone noticed that some creatures of other civilizations around them had recovered from the shock just now, and they obviously had a little more respect when looking at humans again.

Polina kicked Romero, "What did I tell you? Li Ge knows more than us. Just do it. You're just worried about this and worried about that. The Star River Alliance makes it clear that it won't use force easily. The disputes below are all resolved by themselves. Whoever has the harder fist has the truth. Besides, this is still on our own territory. Only force has dignity!"

Li Hao looked at Polina and suddenly realized that he had misunderstood this girl. People really can't be judged by their appearance. From the information of the void creatures he absorbed, there were indeed Lartu people. This civilization belonged to a rogue civilization and was an unpopular race in the entire Star Alliance. They mainly relied on the Qiangzhi Empire to engage in heavy labor, and they were also cannon fodder in wars. If a real war were to break out, even if humanity exhausted its power, it would only be a mutually assured destruction, and this would definitely not conform to the interests and rules of the entire Star Alliance.

Moreover, humans were the seed civilization of the Celestial Race. Directly taking action was equivalent to challenging the Celestial Race. Even if the Celestial Race didn't care about the human branch, they had to maintain the status and dignity of the Celestial Race and not allow provocations. If the Celestial Race didn't care, wouldn't other civilizations have to follow suit?

At the same time, shouldn't those seed civilizations that were attached to the Celestial Civilization also consider themselves?

In the Governor's Mansion, Li Hao made things clear in a few words, "Let's start with the orcs. We humans are not the first, nor will we be the last."

"Then what are we waiting for? Kill them all!" Romero's fighting spirit rose.

"Luo Luo, don't be so impulsive," Polina smiled, "Li Ge, that's the thing, but we can't be sure that we won't pay a price if we really deal with it."

In any case, the Lartu orcs were also members of the Star Alliance. Humans slaughtering them so mercilessly could not determine the Celestial Race's opinion. The Celestial Race had no reason to protect humans. Even if they had value, they would normally cut a large piece of meat from the human side. That was a deal. What's more, there was an uncertain factor like the Qiangzhi Empire.

Li Hao smiled, "There will definitely be some consequences. Just hand me over at that time. I also want to go out and take a look."

"Li Ge, don't worry, I'm not irresponsible..." Romero said halfway before Polina retorted.

"You really are. What responsibility are you taking? Li Ge's words are literal. If there is any problem, just hand him over. It's said to be handing him over, but what can the other party do to him?" Polina was speechless, and at the same time, her eyes were full of interest when she looked at Li Hao.

Li Hao was a little flustered. He didn't know where Polina's confidence came from. Human abilities were strange and varied. "Polina, don't always look at me like that. Just say what's on your mind."

Li Hao knew what was going on. The orcs had a bad reputation, and the same thing had happened in other civilizations. There wouldn't be any big problems, and he wasn't afraid if there were.

Polina showed a surprised expression, "Really? Can I... understand your structure?"
