The cheers outside had already exploded at this scene. At the Judgement battle center, nearly a thousand Judgement warriors crowded into the hall, erupting in enthusiastic cheers. Li Hao was a member of Judgement, and Dawn was Judgement's old rival. They were all in this together, and everyone wanted to find common ground and a sense of belonging with the strong.

After Jorsen and Defatandis, Judgement had produced another sensational powerhouse. Even Olivia and Helena were very fierce and had completed sensational missions, but those were just missions. They wouldn't publicly target opponents like Li Hao. Such domineering behavior, while attracting hatred, could also attract considerable support.

Never mind whether the orcs were crude and weak, or whether the sergeant level was inflated. Rules were rules. If the previous dozen or so matches had left some powerful Celestials unconvinced, the last two matches had been nothing short of miraculous, especially defeating Bluefire with ice-type X-power.

As for the lives of the orcs, did they matter? In the Celestials' songs, they weren't Celestials, so no one cared. They even freed up two slots.

"This human is special. He can actually extinguish Bluefire." Dali Peng showed caution. Although he didn't know what level the orc's Bluefire was, it was still an advanced fire. As a warrior who understood ice-type X-power best in the Seventh Art, Dali Peng felt a deep sense of pressure.

And there was a deeper problem. X-power could be converted, but converting two opposing attributes in a short period of time would cause extremely terrifying damage to the body. Tian Wu wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The only saving grace was that he used a non-attribute Tian Wu. If it had an attribute, it would be resisted and consumed by Tian Wu when using opposing forces.

But even so, this person was still standing there, still waiting for his opponent?

Ning Long's eyes were burning. She had already added Li Hao to her plan, but still underestimated Li Hao's strength. She glanced at Defatandis, who was leisurely drinking coffee, seemingly calm from the start. "You seem to have a lot of confidence in him."

"Unexpected, but reasonable. After all, it's him. But if we want him to do something for us, we need to raise the stakes, otherwise it would be a bit insulting." Defatandis said. He knew Li Hao was strong and could be used as an offensive pawn. He also knew humans lacked everything and were completely open to trading. He could even bully Li Hao a little since he hadn't seen the world, but now it wasn't a good idea to do that. A misstep could backfire. After all, Li Mo was a petty guy.

"That's right, with this kind of strength, we have a better chance of success. It just depends on whether he's willing or not. Should you go talk to him, or should I?" Ning Long asked.

"I'll go." Defatandis took the initiative. Ning Long wasn't suitable for negotiations. He had probed in many ways last time, but hadn't actually made a move. He only felt that Li Hao's soul was quite extraordinary. It seemed he had underestimated this old acquaintance from Earth.

Kepler was jubilant. The combat faction was a bit more reserved, after all, they had seen Li Hao's cards. But the non-combat faction was dancing and celebrating. It was so damn satisfying. They were in Kepler and hated the orcs deeply. Although they had caught a batch, more orcs were still pouring in, and they couldn't refuse. The orcs had also learned to be cunning, making them a troublesome and headache-inducing group.

They didn't understand the details, but it didn't matter. Li Hao's consistent confidence had always been omnipotent. These people with super high IQs and abilities had their own judgments. As for Romero, who could understand, he understood even less now.

As the Governor of Kepler, he had also tried various X-power competitions. It looked similar to the effect of Liu Xin Wu's light flames, but the energy level was vastly different. Once these sergeants were placed in the solar system during the Kepler War, humanity would be defeated utterly. Fortunately, the power had the same origin, and humans had strong learning abilities. Even he had some insights, but it was obvious that being a reincarnated insectoid did quickly grant power and heal the body, but what was lost was humanity's super learning ability and understanding. His greatest confidence was Li Hao. He had witnessed Li Hao defeat Theseus, and knew that Li Ge hid huge secrets, perhaps even within the Star Alliance.

But it didn't matter. He just needed to know that Li Hao was Li Hao.

Looking at the excited Polina, the once cold lone wolf had become very gentle. What he had to do now was to wholeheartedly defend Kepler. In the future, Li Ge would definitely leave a place for his children.

"What did I say? Li Ge has big secrets! What are you afraid of? No matter how many come, they're not enough to fight!"

"What realm is Second Brother at now? Kevin, you're his little cotton-padded jacket, do you know anything?" Jerris asked.

Everyone knew that Kevin knew the most secrets about Li Hao. He handled almost everything for him. However, Kevin's mouth seemed to say everything, but also seemed to say nothing at all.

Kevin spread his hands. "Do you think I, with my level, would know anything? I don't even understand what X-power is. Anyway, there's no need to be afraid of the orcs. Since Second Brother dares to go to war with the orcs, he must be prepared."

Of course. He was Second Brother's most intimate little cotton sock. He believed in Second Brother first, and then in science.

However, Li Hao was in a very bad mood right now. He had been waiting for almost ten minutes and not a single orc had come. Damn it, watching the time pass by, Li Hao was furious. He had been very restrained. Logically speaking, the combat power he displayed was only slightly stronger, and this was the eighteenth match, which should have been consuming. According to the orc's character, faced with such a great temptation and honor, desire should be infinitely magnified. Wasn't there also some Di Tuo Gu, rumored to be the strongest warrior in the orc's song, a level 65 sergeant, and the most violent thunder-type warrior? He could tolerate this?

Li Hao was anxious but couldn't show it. He had to appear a little weak, but not too weak. Damn it, it was so hard.

In the council, after the shock of the battle, they started arguing again. "Another one! He killed an orc noble! That Rafa Yanmo Gu is the favorite son of the Orc's Third General, and was given great expectations. How can he disregard the song order? Li Hao is making enemies for the entire human race!"

"According to you, should he have been killed instead?" Wu Fa said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Wu Fa, who are you mocking? We are standing on the position of the nation, on the position of humanity. Has his actions been allowed by the council? This will bring disaster to humanity... Your words completely disregard the overall situation. I suggest dismissing his councilor qualification..."

The council scene was even more lively than a vegetable market. A group of mad dogs were waving things in their hands, spewing saliva, as if Wu Fa and others were enemies...

Blood? Justice? Empathy?

These people didn't have it. Many old councilors had enjoyed the best treatment since birth. What they often said was, why should your ten years of effort compare to our generations of accumulation? War? They didn't need to go to the battlefield. Death was just a number to them, neither painful nor itchy. What they cared about was how much profit the war would bring. In their bones, they only felt that they were the ones who had contributed the most. How much would Li Hao's victory over the orcs boost morale, and counterattacking the enemy were not important. What was important was that this would bring them a crisis, which was painful to them.

Markum waved his hand, signaling Wu Fa not to say any more. There was no point in arguing here. This was not something that could be reasoned with. In peaceful times, as long as the benefits were sufficient, it didn't matter. But facing this situation, those corrupt classes wouldn't care about these things at all.

Judging from the event itself, Markum felt that Li Hao's actions were still very risky, and the risk was relatively high, and it would indeed anger the orcs. However, he felt it was feasible. The actual situation was that the orcs had repeatedly disregarded the Star Alliance's stealth contract, harassing Kepler and even the solar system's star field. Of course, they were always hanging back. The actions below weren't worth mentioning. Kepler's counterattack didn't change anything. The Solar System Council had already signed several treaties that humiliated the country, including private population sales. Everything given to the orcs was not exchanged for peace, but for the orcs' step-by-step encroachment. It was so ridiculous that Kepler gave the orcs a head-on blow, and these people turned around and went to negotiate cooperation with the orcs.

Putting themselves in the position of the orcs, would they just let it go? They would drain the last drop of blood from humanity, but these people who were frothing at the mouth only cared about their own interests. In fact, they did get what they wanted.

Li Hao's counterattack was within the rules of the song. This was the best counterattack he could do, and it completely achieved the effect. He even felt that Li Hao should have follow-up arrangements. When the Kepler War had just begun, he thought Li Hao was just a warrior with strong individual strength, but by the end, combined with some of what he had seen and heard, he had clearly realized that Li Hao was humanity's hope for survival in the Star Alliance.

They had to protect Li Hao, otherwise the future fate of humanity would become very terrible.

At this time, in the Judgement song, Casica once again released a notice to the entire song, but there was still no response. Because the orcs weren't fools. The moment Rafa Yanmo Gu was frozen in ice, they were completely frightened. It wasn't just a matter of winning or losing, but that this human dared to kill even the son of the Orc's Third Lord. What else wouldn't he dare to do?

Orcs also only had one life. They were already sergeants. Who was cheaper than who?

Li Hao's teeth itched at the loss of one million. Not to mention those sergeants, even the strongest Di Tuo Gu seemed to have disappeared without a trace. It looked like he wouldn't be able to find him today.

When the last minute ended, the Judgement song center cheered. Except for the orcs, after Dao Chai Gu was kicked out of the ladder, the Judgement orcs became honest. Of course they knew what was going on, and they were still speculating that Dao Chai Gu, that piece of trash, was finished. Who would have thought that Dao Chai Gu was still good, at least he survived from this monster.

Seventeen consecutive victories in three hours of challenges. When Li Hao walked out of the war room, he was greeted with awe. In Judgement, everyone knew that this human was not to be trifled with. Not only was he fierce, but he was also very ruthless. This was also the goal Li Hao wanted to achieve.
