Chapter 157 150 Who Spared Whom
bai zhongqi was still relatively cautious when meeting the envoys from the mage tower.
even though he was confident that iridium star's various defensive measures were very complete, and with a star warrior master like nan ma at the fore, two mages from the mage tower couldn't stir up any trouble, he still made some preparations and maintained a distance during the meeting.
separated by several dozen meters, wo duoer bowed to bai zhongqi. this mage's vision naturally surpassed that of ordinary people; even from a distance, he could clearly see the features of the iridium star chancellor. it surprised him that the imperial chancellor, who brought such a huge crisis to the six mage towers, looked so young.
"it is an honor to meet you, your majesty," wo duoer said with utmost courtesy, and it took a lot of willpower for se boluo standing beside him not to kneel down as well.
on either side of them stood two rows of empire guards standing at attention, and behind them were several large walking land combat armors. the chilling metallic luster made one's heart grow cold, and in such a terrifying environment, se boluo, even as a distinguished mage from the mage tower, could hardly maintain his composure, trembling with fear.
bai zhongqi didn't scrutinize the two mages in great detail; they were relatively unimportant characters. although this wo duoer was fairly brave, the fact that they were sent for such a task meant these two were pawns that could be sacrificed at any time.
at this moment, bai zhongqi asked, "mr. wo duoer, if i'm not mistaken, you are here as a representative of the six mage towers, correct?"
"indeed," wo duoer replied.
bai zhongqi's eyebrows rose slightly, "oh? but i've heard that there is a state of conflict among the six mage towers, and that lives are even occasionally lost."
wo duoer smiled and said confidently, "the world seems to have this prejudice against the six mage towers, but what they do not know is that the competition among the mage towers is deliberately created by the holy magus to cultivate newer mages. at their core, the six mage towers are one, sharing the same interests, especially when it comes to the future and peace of the northern continent."
bai zhongqi said, "so are you planning to surrender to the empire?"
and what you pay is just giving them the status they deserve, letting the mage towers be respected, and taking an insignificant portion from your vast income to remunerate the mage towers that work hard for you."
bai zhongqi turned his head back, his gaze frosty, and said in an emotionless tone, "i think you have misunderstood something. in my empire, no one has any special privileges except for me. if you want to surrender, then kneel quickly and beg for my forgiveness. if you don't wish to surrender, that's fine too, it's just the loss of your miserable lives."
he really had no time to spare wasting on the natives of emerald sea star anymore, having already spent a long time on emerald sea star, his primary focus of his enterprise was still managing the star alliance and helping country c transition quickly to the star alliance era.
he considered himself very patient, but patience always had a reason, for his compatriots, for important people, and matters, he could naturally show generosity with patience. however, to be patient with a group who couldn't even understand their place was just foolishness.
however, bai zhongqi was somewhat angry, and wo duoer, on the other side, was similarly enraged by bai zhongqi's "arrogance". disregarding the fact that he was currently in enemy territory, wo duoer shouted, "your majesty, i think you too have some misunderstandings.
perhaps you do have powerful military forces, and many magical powers, but neither the six mage towers nor the holy magus are sheep for the slaughter. the six mage towers have remained restrained and tolerant in the war, but if you think this is weakness, you are gravely mistaken. do not regret it at the last moment, this is my advice to you."
standing beside them and angered by wo duoer's audacious words, ji you drew his light blade, similar to the light sabers of the jedi in "star battle", a weapon where a sword hilt is activated, projecting a high-energy plasma light beam, not anything rare, but convenient to carry, and reasonably powerful.
seeing ji you about to slice wo duoer in two, bai zhongqi waved his hand and said, "there's no need to stoop to the level of such an idiot, let him go back to witness the mage towers being crushed to dust under the boots of the empire army."
in warfare, one does not kill the emissaries. even though bai zhongqi was resolved to utterly obliterate the mage towers, there was no need to eliminate the emissaries at this moment. it's simply beneath his dignity.
wo duoer straightened his collar and, still very politely, bowed to bai zhongqi, "then, your majesty, i shall see you on the battlefield. when you fail, i will persuade the mage towers' masters and the holy magus to go easy on you."
bai zhongqi left without turning his head back, his voice carrying, "then tell them, i will not spare them."
