Chapter 616 Fire in the Rear

Chapter 141 Provocation and Calculation

After finishing those three, he finally had a bit of feeling. He paused again and checked the time. Damn, there were less than ten minutes left. Li Hao dialed Kashika's Star Xun, "Kashika, help me issue another announcement and extend the time for another hour."

Li Hao practically gritted his teeth as he said it. He was also getting carried away. After fighting for so long, none of the strongest ones had come. The atmosphere had been built up, and he'd spent the money, so he couldn't just let it go. He felt that with the orcs' rabbit-like courage, they might not dare to come out after calming down.

In the four major war zones, the Lartu orcs had three star sergeant majors above level 50, who were known by all the Song of Holy orcs as the new generation of "Three Beast Kings." This was Li Hao's real goal. There were too many orcs, and it wasn't possible to achieve anything by just fighting a few rounds. But taking down their signature three orcs would definitely have an effect. The main purpose was to make the orcs in the Song of Holy stop. Of course, he also knew that these three wouldn't easily come out, which was why he made such a big scene. If these three didn't come out today, and he had to do it again, Li Hao wouldn't be able to bear the pressure of debt.

Kashika was very helpful and another Song of Holy wide announcement was issued again: I am the daddy of all orc ladder sergeant majors. Who else is not convinced?

Actually, everyone was paying attention to the fact that time was running out. If the Three Beast Kings didn't show up, it would be over. For Li Hao, the effect was just right, because continuous combat, especially the last one who was already at the peak of Zhou Yan, completely controlling the Eye of Heaven, it was more prudent to quit while he was ahead. He didn't expect Li Hao to directly extend the time.

At this time, who he was targeting was obvious. If the Three Beast Kings hadn't seen it just now, or weren't qualified enough, then now they were just pretending not to see it. Coincidentally, these three orcs were all in their own Songs of Holy, and hadn't been on missions, nor had they heard of any recent injuries. There was no need to doubt this, because at the level of top sergeant majors, every move was closely watched.

At this time, many people in the Song of Holy who didn't like the orcs were already making noise. If the orcs didn't dare to fight under these circumstances, then they would really have to acknowledge a new daddy in the future. People had made it very clear that not fighting meant they were all convinced.

In fact, it only took a short while before Mo Na Ke, one of the Three Beast Kings, couldn't stand it and accepted the challenge. He was ranked third among the Three Beast Kings. If he didn't go, the other two wouldn't go. The orcs were very particular about internal pride and ranking, and couldn't be off by even a little bit. In fact, all the pressure was on him. If he didn't fight, he would definitely be attacked by competitors in the future.

Mo Na Ke had been observing Li Hao's fighting style. He thought he would fail after a few fights, but he didn't expect him to win until now. This human seemed short, but he was incredibly strong. His fighting skills were similar to the Tian Ren, but not quite the same, more refined. Being called a Beast King, Mo Na Ke's vision was beyond what ordinary orcs could compare to. This human had done things too decisively and suddenly. Everyone knew the conflict between humans and orcs, and they attacked each other, especially the vicious incident at the Omniscient Song of Holy in the Mechanical Empire some time ago. The Song of Holy wasn't a Song of Holy Mother, regardless of conflicts and disputes, but it required them to be resolved in the way of the Song of Holy. The orcs' ambush-style gang fights were commonplace among orcs, but they were frowned upon in the Song of Holy under the rule of a first-class civilization. Li Hao's counterattack was crude, but within the regulations of the Song of Holy, and with the orcs' previous behavior, it seemed more authentic. Under these circumstances, the pressure on the orcs wasn't just about the matter with the humans, they also occupied many positions among the sergeant majors.

As the Song of Holy leader among the orcs, someone had to stand up. Mo Na Ke had observed for a long time, and this opportunity was relatively rare. Li Hao had fought thirteen consecutive battles, and the influence of Zhou power was very great. Moreover, with the public opinion fermenting to this point, it was time to stand up and reap the rewards.

Mo Na Ke, from the White Tiger War Zone Ninth, Seventh Art Federation S-level Shadow Song of Holy, level 55 sergeant major, was also a prominent figure in the Shadow Song of Holy. More than a hundred orcs in his team followed his lead.

This level had nothing to do with what civilization one came from. They were the most dazzling small group in the Song of Holy, and basically every Song of Holy warrior was familiar with them.

In the Lartu jungle, which the orcs loved most, in a familiar environment, with familiar skills, Li Hao was about to face Mo Na Ke.

As soon as Mo Na Ke appeared, the orcs' low and confused morale instantly soared, and they even嗨ed in place, as if they had already won. This strange group's emotions fluctuated so much. Now it was Chao Qinglong and the others' turn to worry. Li Hao's wave of overtime was too extreme and too拼.

At the same time, the Solar System and Kepler, which had already established communications, also received this information. Although they didn't have the Song of Holy, they were still very concerned about everything in the Song of Holy. But when they learned that Li Hao had actually intensified the conflict with the orcs, the Solar System Council convened an emergency meeting. The content wasn't about the victory or defeat and Li Hao's safety, but rather two fiercely arguing factions.

One faction was the pro-war faction, led by Markam, Wu Fa, Lagrange, Svenny Dariven, Sazerac Lu Donglei, and Long Danni. The other faction was the peace faction, led by Ronkeshir, Tema, Hauser, Ubent, and Zhao Hongfeng. Dekoshir was the current Speaker of the Council, in charge of the Council for more than ten years, and had a huge influence. If it hadn't been for the emergence of the Star Alliance, the Council would have basically followed his lead and the forces he belonged to.

During the Kepler War, Ronkeshir was against it. It was just that the situation at the time had already affected his own interests, coupled with the will of the people, he finally agreed, and then after the victory, it became his "wise leadership." As the Speaker, a little bit of public opinion manipulation was enough. Who could sing a different tune, who would dare to sing a different tune?

However, in the year since joining the Star Alliance, this Speaker had become a Star Alliance舔狗. He didn't want to confront the aliens he obviously couldn't afford to offend, as it didn't align with his interests. As long as the Star Alliance maintained his power, he could be completely obedient to the Star Alliance. He was very willing to sacrifice a little bit of profit in exchange for peace. He knew the horror and power of those alien races in the Star Alliance, and his rhetoric to the outside world was quite high-sounding. Humans needed time, they needed to grow, and at this time, they could only endure. Enduring was the only way.

Therefore, he didn't care about the behavior of the orcs at all. He had always been at the highest level of humanity. Although he said very nice things in front of the camera, he didn't care about the life and death of the people below. In his opinion, this was a relatively valuable sacrifice, and at least no food was wasted.

His various compromising behaviors also led to Markam, Wu Fa, and others becoming increasingly intolerant. They saw the situation more clearly. With blind concession, humans had no way out. Moreover, having come out of the war, they didn't think humans were that weak. At the same time, they also interpreted the order of the Star Alliance. Humans must resist, and there was an opportunity, especially with the existence of Li Hao and many extraordinary warriors. Since Li Hao and the others could appear, it meant that humans had potential, and they should vigorously develop it. But the situation was the opposite. The Council didn't care, and was focused on the so-called overall situation.

The current opponent was the orcs, and the orcs weren't at the top of the Star River Order.

Logically speaking, they were all political masters, and the Council was like a pot boiling over, with all kinds of arguments. Both sides had certain supporters, and they argued fiercely every time.

Markam and others had also gathered a considerable number of enterprising councilors, but Ronkeshir was the Speaker, with the greatest influence, and always suppressed them. Ronkeshir's main policy was to effectively sacrifice Kepler in exchange for human peace and to buy time.

"Li Hao and others' behavior is simply betrayal, a betrayal of humanity! What are they doing in the Song of Holy? They are there to bring human kindness and friendship, to learn the advanced power of the Song of Holy, not to destroy international friendship!"

"I have said that power brings膨胀 and肆意妄为. They don't consider the overall interests of the Solar System at all. We have strictly prohibited this kind of behavior that damages the human image, and they must be punished. I suggest recalling these people, including Depuya and the other four from the Omniscient Song of Holy. Actually eating hearts alive, such barbaric things are simply an insult to our human civilization. They need to be severely punished to express our friendly attitude towards other civilizations!"

"We need the support of interstellar friends now, how can we be so crude and aggressive?"

Markam and the others looked at the many "peace-loving" councilors with their big bellies, talking about almost insane remarks. Was it ridiculous?

It was so ridiculous. In the face of interests, politicians could talk nonsense in a serious manner, and no matter how outrageous they were, they could always raise a banner of "righteousness."

These people were born as nobles, enjoying the best treatment of humans, and didn't have to go to the battlefield. When they felt the threat of alien forces, they immediately became submissive, in order to protect their position.

Were they stupid?

On the contrary, they were extremely smart, because they had already felt the power of the extraordinary warriors in the Kepler War, and they were gradually forming a group that threatened their rule. And this point became more obvious after the Star River Alliance. Who dominated the new Song of Holy system?

Sergeant majors, and they could never become sergeant majors, and most of those who could become sergeant majors weren't their people.

They would rather kneel in front of aliens than let those mud legs be in power. Soldiers were just tools, and they should be obedient consumables.

Long Danni watched quietly. She was also very clear that many people had gone to Kepler. Although the conditions in Kepler were more difficult, humans could see hope there. She also wanted to go, but she had to stay. Long Danni dared to say that she knew her students very well. Perhaps he didn't have this idea at all, but under pressure, Li Hao wasn't a weak character. Once he made a decision, his actions would be as swift as thunder and lightning, and a fatal blow. Killing decisively was Li Hao's nature.

Markam and the others were the same. If they all went to Kepler, there would be no room for maneuver between the Solar System and Kepler, and Kepler might be stabbed in the back by the Solar System. They stayed here to ensure the bottom line, that the Solar System couldn't completely undermine Kepler, but now the conflict was intensifying...
