Chapter 463 Ambitious Person · Overwhelming Might (Part III)

Carlos’s blood flowed wantonly in different directions in the conference room.

Blood soaked the thick carpet, and the conference room was filled with the smell of blood.

One minute ago, Reeker, who had committed the greatest crime in his life, moved his body.

His feet stepped on the b.l.o.o.d.y carpet and made a noise.

All his consciousness began to creep back into his blank brain.

Reeker subconsciously threw away the pistol in his hand. He trembled all over and was at a loss, but he didn’t dare to make a sound.

The meeting room was very quiet.

Li Tianlan, who had put away his phone, sat there, as if he was thinking about something.

Prime Minister Reeker, who was utterly confused inside, looked at Li Tianlan subconsciously.

The gunshot not only ended the life of Carlos but also his standpoint.

He boarded Li Tianlan’s ship.

Now, he was in a state of utter stupefaction. The only person he could rely on was Li Tianlan.

“Your Highness…”

Opening his mouth, Reeker took a deep breath and summoned up his courage to shout out.

There was not even a trace of hatred or shame in his eyes. Only the fear and panic that he wanted to hide but couldn’t conceal could be seen clearly in them.

“Hmm,” Li Tianlan said slowly, “Zhongzhou State won’t talk to you too quickly. There are many things to discuss at home, and you need to stabilize the situation as soon as possible here. You know what I mean?”

Reeker nodded and felt his body stiffer than ever before.

Li Tianlan’s words were not obvious, but the content was extremely cruel.

It was not until this moment that he really understood what this battle which would push him to the position of the president meant.

He got the power, but he lost decision-making power.

There were many explanations for what happened today.

However, no matter how he explained, it was impossible to change the nature of this matter.

Li Tianlan wanted to take revenge on the Jiang family of South America.

Rekvia, who had a good relationship with the Jiang family of South America, used its strength to attack Li Tianlan.

The five Eastern European countries declared war on Zhongzhou State under the tough influence of Rekvia.

In the end, Li Tianlan won. Zhongzhou State came, and Wulan State was defeated.

It was so simple.

That was the essence.

It was not the most naked aggression for Wulan State had dug its own grave. If they didn’t declare war on Zhongzhou State, even if Li Tianlan wanted to occupy Wulan State forcibly, he had no valid reason.

However, Wulan State got nothing but a complete failure after partic.i.p.ating in it.

Henceforth, Wulan State no longer had the real autonomous right. Only the young man in the conference room was the ruler of Wulan State and even the five Eastern European countries.

Behind such essence was bound to be more naked, but also more obscure compensation, exploitation, oppression, bloodiness, and cruelty.

It was the price that the loser must pay after the failure of the war.

Zhongzhou State would not talk to Wulan State in a short period. There was no doubt that Zhongzhou State needed to negotiate with the internal departments about how to carve up Wulan State.

Perhaps a few days later, untold money would enter Zhongzhou State from Wulan State as the war indemnity.

Countless wealthy families, military forces, and dark forces in Zhongzhou State would quietly rush in and become the most powerful forces in this country.

The future was entirely predictable.

Therefore, it seemed exceptionally cruel.

Reeker felt dizzy. He forced himself to stand up straight, but his mind was buzzing.

Li Tianlan was still sitting there, motionless.

A phone rang suddenly, which sounded somewhat harsh in the silent meeting room.

Reeker’s body shook. He found his phone blankly and saw the caller ID on it.

It was a name on the caller ID.

General Deza.

This name was very familiar.

But Reeker couldn’t remember who it was at the moment because his mind was completely in a mess.

The corner of Reeker’s mouth twitched, and he was trying hard to recall this so-called general.

The phone rang continuously, and it seemed to be getting more and more urgent, which made people feel fl.u.s.tered.

Li Tianlan suddenly said, “Don’t put it through.”

His body didn’t move, and his tone was very light but very tough.

Reeker, who was about to answer the phone subconsciously, suddenly remembered who General Deza was.

General Deza of Wulan State was the chief commander of the southwestern military.

The southwestern part of Wulan State bordered on Oga State.

In other words, today, the 3,000 elites of the Snowdance Corps had defeated all the enemies along the way.

What they defeated were a few large elite corps led by General Deza.

Reeker’s face was deathly pale and bloodless.

Because he suddenly remembered that there were not only three thousand people in the Snowdance Corps that set off from Eyme and marched into Wulan State.

Instead, it was five thousand.

Three thousand people moved forward quickly in light clothes.

Behind them were 2,000 heavily armed troops with a large number of weapons.

What was the difference between the 3,000 elites in light clothes and the 2,000 heavily armed elites?

How big was the gap between Zhongzhou State and Wulan State in terms of armaments?

If his guess was right, it was time for the elite corps of Wulan State to gather the defeated forces.

At the same time, it was time for more than 2,000 heavily armed elites of the Snowdance Corps to enter Wulan State.

Reeker was holding his mobile phone.

His heart suddenly became cold as never before.

“Your Highness…”

He called out in a trembling tone.

Li Tianlan said calmly, “Give me your phone.”

“Your Highness!!!”

Suddenly, the tone of Reeker became excited. “I can’t give up the few corps in Southwest. Without them, how can Wulan State defend…”

Li Tianlan said coldly, “The Snowdance Corps will be in charge of the defense of Wulan State. What are you afraid of?”

Reeker only felt that a rope tightly strangled his neck, and there was no hope for him to get rid of it.

His legs went limp and finally, he knelt down on the ground and said, “Your Highness…”

He hadn’t finished his words yet.

In his sight, Li Tianlan reached out his hand.

His hand was trembling, but soon, he took off the translator hanging on his ear without any hesitation.

Then he stretched out his hand and slowly pointed to the phone in Reeker’s hand.

The look in Reeker’s eyes turned completely desperate.

Li Tianlan didn’t know anything about foreign languages.

He didn’t even understand basic English.

Without the translator, Li Tianlan couldn’t understand what he was saying.

The phone stopped ringing for a moment.

It rang again.

At this time, the melodious ringtone sounded like the ceaseless screams of thousands of ferocious ghosts in Reeker’s ears. He was extremely painful inside.

The phone kept ringing for ten minutes.

Then the phone never rang again.

Ten minutes was a long time.

But it was also very short.

If this gap was put on the battlefield, it would be desperately big.

Reeker had a nervous breakdown and burst into tears.

In the past ten minutes, he didn’t know what the situation was like on the battlefield, but at least he could be sure of what would happen to the army led directly by General Deza.

The door of the conference room was pushed open.

Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud were faintly bathed in blood and walked in.

Li Tianlan looked at them motionlessly.

Cool Breeze nodded to Li Tianlan and said softly, “Your Highness, it’s done.”

Li Tianlan smiled.

Today, in the hearts of the Snowdance Corps troops, he was an invincible G.o.d of War.

In the eyes of Wulan State, Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud represented the true Death.

In just a few hours, more than 30 high-ranking officials or people with great influence in a certain field in Wulan State died under the dark edge of Sigh City. It was only at this point that Li Tianlan truly took control of Recchi City.

As for ruling the entire Wulan State, it would take a very long time.

Li Tianlan glanced at Reeker, who had been driven to distraction, with mockery in his eyes. “You find it unacceptable. You think I completely gave up the forces in Southeast Wulan State. You think I killed many senior officials tonight. But why don’t you use your brain slightly? Do the things and people that seem to belong to Wulan State have other stances? Or do they really belong to Wulan State? For example, General Joel. If he hadn’t died tonight and I hadn’t come tonight, after the chaos in Eastern Europe was over, the people with which surname would have dominated Wulan State? Jiang, w.a.n.g, or any other surname? Do you know?”

“What’s the difference now?” asked Reeker with a bitter smile.

“Of course there is a difference.”

Li Tianlan calmly said, “At least we can determine one thing now.”

“Wulan State’s surname is Li.”

Reeker sat on the ground with a dull look.

“Your Highness, the situation outside has been controlled.”

Drifting Cloud reminded him calmly.

Li Tianlan nodded his head and looked at Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud for a long time.

His body remained motionless.

The faces of Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud changed at the same time. The two took a look at Reeker and calmly walked toward Li Tianlan.

Li Tianlan laughed.

His face looked very young, but his smile was bleak, with extreme fatigue and trance.

“Your Highness.”

Cool Breeze reached out his hand subconsciously.

Li Tianlan grabbed Cool Breeze’s arm tightly.

He exerted a lot of strength.

But Cool Breeze couldn’t feel any power at all. He could only feel that Li Tianlan’s arm was shaking, but he still wanted to grab something.

All of a sudden, Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud were sweaty all over.

They missed the final battle in front of the Rekvia Castle.

They had never witnessed Li Tianlan’s choice of advancing and retreating when he was between Deity and w.a.n.g Tianzong.

So they didn’t know exactly how injured Li Tianlan was.

But now it seemed that Li Tianlan had no strength left at all.

In other words, in a not short time before they came, Reeker, who didn’t know about the slightest Martial Arts, might be able to kill Li Tianlan easily if he were bolder!

It was difficult for Li Tianlan to move, not to mention to resist.

Cool Breeze glanced at the pistol that landed next to Reeker.

Drifting Cloud took a b.u.t.ton off his coat and crushed it, and then fed some of the powder to Li Tianlan.

Zhongzhou State’s high-level wound healing drugs had been consumed, and even if Li Tianlan took one, it would not play any role.

What Drifting Cloud fed Li Tianlan was something that could refresh him in a short time.

In layman’s terms, it was a powerful stimulant for military use.

This stuff was bound to do some damage to the body and even cause Li Tianlan’s injury to worsen.

But now Li Tianlan must stand up.

The future G.o.d of War in Zhongzhou State.

Under no circ.u.mstances could he retreat or fall!

The dried powder gradually melted.

There was a pathological blush on Li Tianlan’s face.

His hand gradually grew stronger.

Letting go of Cool Breeze’s hand, he slowly stood up, his voice deep and hoa.r.s.e. “Go and raise the flag!”

Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud subconsciously wanted to support him.

Li Tianlan shook his head and walked outside the conference room.

His steps were slow, but when he tried his best to control his body, his steps were extremely steady.

Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud followed Li Tianlan tightly to prevent him from falling down suddenly.

Only the back of Li Tianlan could be seen in the sight of the two.

His back was so lonely. He moved heavily and slowly, as if carrying the whole world.

But on his weak shoulders, he carried more than one world.

The Office of the President was not the highest place in Recchi City.

But in front of the Office of the President, there was the highest flagpole in Recchi City.

In this extremely broad area, the national flag of Wulan State flying day and night was the most striking sign.

When Li Tianlan walked out of the Office of the President with Cool Breeze and Drifting Cloud, it was almost crowded outside the Office of the President near the middle of the night.

The flash lamps of cameras were constantly flashing, police cars were maintaining order, and reporters from various countries stationed in Wulan State were all swarming here after being notified.

Li Tianlan’s appearance never caught the attention of any reporter.

He didn’t wear a military uniform. The black suit that he temporarily put on had no military rank, so no one knew that the young man who pa.s.sed by them was the marshal of Zhongzhou State’s Snowdance Corps.

All cameras were focused on Li Zonghu.

To be exact, they were gathered on the huge Star Flag in Li Zonghu’s hand.

The scene was busy and silent.

The Star Flag became the most dazzling color in the night sky.

Hundreds of elites of the Snowdance Corps lined up neatly in the square in front of the Office of the President, and the whole night seemed to be filled with the tragic fighting spirit that had not yet dissipated.

Li Tianlan calmly walked into the crowd and looked at the gate of the Office of the President quietly.

He was waiting for Reeker.

Everyone was waiting for Reeker.

Reeker was a veteran politician who had been in politics for decades. Li Tianlan fully believed in Reeker’s psychological quality and also believed that he could adjust his state in the shortest time, at least to deal with this situation.

Cool Breeze whispered in his ear the number of media present at the moment.

The media were all informed through Samsara Palace’s channels in Eastern Europe, and they had notified nearly forty media. Now more than thirty-five of them were present, most of which were foreign ones.

Li Tianlan remained calm.

Tonight, he wanted the Star Flag of Zhongzhou State to flutter in Eastern Europe, in front of the Office of the President of Wulan State—the most sensitive geographical location, under the eyes of the whole world.

Li Tianlan watched this scene quietly.

His vision had become a little blurred, but in his line of sight, the red Star Flag was still breath-taking.

The front door of the Office of the President slowly opened.

There was a hubbub among the group of journalists who had always remained silent.

The flash lamps finally began to shift from the Star Flag.

Countless reporters swarmed there in a frenzy.

Prime Minister Reeker, whose face was still pale with tear stains, stepped out of the Office of the President. His face was somber and grave.

“Mr. Prime Minister, today’s Recchi City is very unfortunate. Does this really have anything to do with Zhongzhou State? Should Zhongzhou State take full responsibility for this?”

“Mr. Prime Minister, has Wulan State completely cut off diplomatic relations with Zhongzhou State? Do you have any opinions on the future development of the two countries?”

“Mr. Prime Minister, why hasn’t Mr. President appeared?”

Crazy flashing lights.

All kinds of questions.

Faces with different expressions flickered in front of Reeker.

This press conference was not formal, but it was time-efficient enough to spread the news to all corners of the world in the fastest time.

So Reeker knew that from this moment on, every word of his would be heard throughout the world.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a sentence.

“Make up a big lie and let the whole world dance with it…”

Reeker suddenly wore a self-mocking smile.

He was indeed going to make up a big lie recently so that the whole world would dance with it. He was no exception.

It wasn’t him but the ambitious young person who stood by and looked on coldly behind the big lie.

“Everyone.”

Reeker took a deep breath, picked up the microphone, and slowly said, “Before answering your questions, let me announce a very regrettable thing first.

“Wulan State’s greatest and wisest leader ever, my former best friend, my former life mentor, and my most respected person, Mr. President, Carlos, have already died.”

There was a sudden silence in front of the Office of the President, and only the whistles of the wind could be heard.

In the next second, screams of disbelief burst out utterly, like a powder keg set on fire.

Everyone was thinking and asking a question.

Was it done by Zhongzhou State?

“This is a misunderstanding.”

Reeker said seriously, “Wulan State and Zhongzhou State have always been friends, but Wulan State being used today has led to Wulan State making such an irrational act of declaring war on its friend. If I could go back in time, I would have stopped it.”

“Mr. Prime Minister, what is the misunderstanding?”

“Well, maybe you have to find the reason from Mr. President. There are many things between him and the Jiang family of South America that need to be investigated and evidenced. We all need time.”

“Mr. President? My G.o.d, how is that possible? You just said that he was the man you most respected.”

“Yes. He used to be.”

The square in front of the Office of the President was in a complete uproar.

Countless reporters asked questions at the top of their lungs.

Li Tianlan couldn’t hear it anymore. What he finally heard faintly was only the national anthem of Zhongzhou State sounding on the land of Eastern Europe.

Li Zonghu held the Star Flag in his hand tightly and sent the flag to the most dazzling spot in Recchi City.

The red flag fluttered against the night wind and became the most dazzling color in the night sky.

It was the wee hours of August 8th in Eastern Europe.

The day, which was known as the Date of Death by later generations, finally pa.s.sed.

After a day of chaos, Recchi City made several announcements to the world.

President Carlos was suspected of treason and had unspeakable cooperation with the Jiang family of South America.

The Jiang family of South America and Carlos used Wulan State, almost destroying the friendly diplomatic relations between Wulan State and Zhongzhou State.

The cooperation between Carlos and the Jiang family of South America broke. Patriarch Jiang Qiansong of the Jiang family of South America killed Carlos in a rage. He even wanted to kill all the high-level officials of Wulan State.

At the critical moment, Marshal Li Tianlan of Zhongzhou State’s Snowdance Corps appeared, stopping the Jiang family of South America’s bottomless plot.

Zhongzhou State and Wulan State were always best friends, and Marshal Li Tianlan was the hero worthy of respect from Wulan State.

To ensure the security of Wulan State, Prime Minister Reeker cordially invited Zhongzhou State’s Snowdance Corps to be stationed in Recchi City for some time.

Numerous messages exploded like bombs around the world.

Twenty hours ago, Li Tianlan was a warmonger, an aggressor, and a lunatic.

Zhongzhou State was under tremendous pressure for that.

Twenty hours later, Li Tianlan became the hero of Wulan State and Zhongzhou State became Wulan State’s best friend.

In less than one day, the general trend turned in an almost completely upside-down manner.

At this moment, on the land of Wulan State, Li Tianlan and Zhongzhou State were shining at the same time!

That was a real sea change that had really been driven by overwhelming might.

Tonight, the grand and clear national anthem of Zhongzhou State rang through the entire Wulan City with the flying Star Flag.

In the seemingly non-stop song, Li Tianlan looked at the increasingly blurred red flag in his sight and whispered, “Cool Breeze.”

“I’m here, Your Highness.”

Cool Breeze bowed slightly, his voice respectful.

Li Tianlan pointed to the direction of the flag and said hoa.r.s.ely, “This is my flag.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Cool Breeze replied firmly.

This was my flag.

And also my country.
