Menso Atas heard the words of the Lord of the Courtyard, a chill in his heart for no reason.

This chill did not come from Xia Xiu's tone, nor was it a simple pressure, but a very profound knock.

He suddenly had a premonition.

What the Lord of the Courtyard said was not only about Vlakis and the foreigners of Gith, but also about using this to hit some Gith philosophers with ulterior motives, and even the movements within the philosophers' parliament.

Did he really just say what he said to Vlakis simply?

Mensuo's fingers tightened slightly and his eyes flashed, but he quickly adjusted his mindset, suppressed those too many speculations, and maintained his usual calmness and calmness.

"We will continue to do something about the Gith foreign war."

Xia Xiu's voice made Mensuo come back from his thoughts. He raised his head and saw that the lord of the courtyard had refocused the battle situation.

"You said before that Vlakis brought the fleet back to aid and entered a strategic contraction phase, right?"

Mensuo nodded slightly, sorted out his thoughts, suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and replied calmly:

"Yes, most of the Gith foreign fleets have withdrawn from their capital, Tunaras."

"They set up a large number of blockade lines at the border and closed the hyperspace channel constructed by multiple ether traction wave engines to prevent foreign enemies from invading."

Xia Xiu gently stroked his chin, as if thinking about something.

"In other words, Vlakis is planning to pull the entire Tunaras to implement the 'fortress strategy'?"

"She is ready to concentrate her troops to defend the key fortress in an attempt to persist or delay the enemy for a long time?"

He paused, his lips curled up slightly, and he sneered:

"Sure..."

"The guys behind Vlakis must have promised her a lot of benefits."

"As long as she can hold the courtyard and let the courtyard fall into a long-term war with the foreigners of Gith, they will be willing to provide assistance to the foreigners of Gith."

Mensuo's brows frowned slightly, and he understood what Xia Xiu meant.

Those forces hidden behind the scenes are unwilling to take action themselves, but they hope to use the hands of the foreigners of Gis to consume the power of the courtyard and put the courtyard in a protracted war.

They will not directly intervene in the war, but will transfer resources, provide technology, provide certain military support, and even manipulate public opinion and shape the situation of the war.

But the question is – are these aids really free?

Xia Xiu smiled, shook his head, his tone with a hint of irony:

"However, aiding this thing is not that easy to get."

His eyes were slightly cold, and his tone said meaningfully—

"Some countries and people always feel that they can turn the tables with assistance..."

"In the end, I just signed a bunch of mineral agreements that were 'destroying and humiliating'."

"When they find that they have been completely 'sold'..."

“It’s too late.”

Menso Atas's eyes narrowed slightly, he took over the conversation and asked in a low and solemn tone:

"So, what are you going to do?"

When Xia Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"There is an invisible hand behind Vlakis, and I naturally have allies."

"They want to fight the courtyard?"

"Then I'll 'play hard' with them."

The voice of the Lord of the Courtyard is neither too fast nor too slow, but it has an unconcealed edge.

Mensuo did not speak, but he could feel a hint of...the enthusiasm for fighting in the tone of the Lord of the Courtyard.

"I guess Vlakis should have a lot of good things in his hands. These things should be specially used to deal with the courtyard and me."

Xia Xiu's fingers gently tapped the tabletop and continued in a calm tone:

"And at the extraordinary level, the only thing that can quickly eliminate stage barriers - abnormality."

Mensuo's eyes flashed slightly.

"abnormal……"

He knew that the abnormality in the humans of Terra was equivalent to the collective name of artifacts, laws, domain creations in the eyes of the heavens and all realms.

Xia Xiu continued to say:

"I'm quite curious about what abnormalities Vlakis has in his hands.

The next war is my main battlefield, but since the war will be dominated by me, the son of the courtyard and the fleet of your philosophers will play a supporting role.”

I need you to help the son of the courtyard to reclaim the hub that the foreigners of Gith gave up.”

He raised his eyes and looked at the door rope and asked directly:

“How many of the hundreds of hubs that Vlakis gave up were colonial and livable hubs?”

Upon hearing this, Menso Atas lowered his head slightly and began to recall the information reported by his front-line troops.

Although the Gith philosophers have been huddling in the Chaos Sea under the oppression of the Gith foreigners, their great psychic masters have been paying attention to the every move of the Gith foreigners.

Although these large psychic masters have few people, they have extremely strong single combat capabilities.

If they count according to combat power, they can probably do one-on-three when facing the son of the I-Phase Courtyard who has only completed the Holy Forging once.

Of course, the situation is completely different when facing the son of the top courtyard, including the Gray Knight.

But in any case, their powerful psychic power allowed them to follow the military trajectory of the Gith foreigners for a long time and continuously synchronize intelligence with the parliament.

It is precisely because of this that the GIS Philosopher Council can obtain such detailed information.

One of the key purposes of this meeting with the Lord of the Courtyard is to conduct an "information exchange".

Mensuo retracted his thoughts, raised his head, and replied in a serious tone:

"According to the information we have, only seven of these hundreds of hubs are colonized hubs."

“Six of them are small hubs and one is medium hub.”

Speaking of this, his tone paused for a moment, and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"However, before retreating, the Gith foreigners had already carried out orbital bombing on key areas of these hubs."

"They used psionic ships to clean up the urban agglomerations on the hub, and most of the non-Gis foreign residents have been slaughtered."

“At the same time, the infrastructure inside the hub has also been severely destroyed.”

“In other words, while these hubs are still colonized theoretically, they require long-term repair and reconstruction.”

"Sure..."

Xia Xiu leaned on the back of the chair, slowly tapping the tabletop with a hint of sigh, as if he was not surprised by the behavior of the foreigners of Gis.

The foreigners of Gith are worthy of being a race called the "Little Kingdom of Heaven" in their thoughts. Although their hardware and strength are far inferior to those of heaven, they have learned well in their thoughts.

Xia Xiu narrowed his golden pupils slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This way of "purifying aliens" is exactly the same as the way of heaven.

He looked at Speaker Mensuo with a sad face and knew that the philosopher's thoughts were not allowed to have the option of "purification".

The philosophers of Gith never agreed with the practice of "purification".

Although they are both of the Gith race, they are completely different from the Gith foreigners. The philosophers advocate psychic energy, wisdom, order rather than brutal genocide.

What the Gis foreigners did not only made their hands covered with blood from countless hubs, but also made Gis philosophers suffer from prejudice from other races again and again.

They were all regarded as similar people to the Gith foreigners.

Xia Xiu noticed his expression change.

So he paused for a moment, nodded slightly to show his silence.

——But that’s all.

There is no right or wrong in war. The courtyard will not feel pity for the Gis foreigners because of their actions. But since the Gis philosophers choose to stand on the side of the courtyard, their position can be "appropriately" respected.

Soon, Xia Xiu calmed down for a moment of solemnity and returned to his usual calmness.

"Okay, let's continue to talk about the main things."

"According to the agreement, the courtyard will take over the resource hubs that were abandoned by the foreigners of Gith.

“Replace all mining stations and research station equipment with courtyards.”

"According to our previous agreement, the research materials of the courtyard are shared with you, Gith philosophers."

Xia Xiu's tone was stable and unquestionable.

The philosopher of Gith is willing to seek refuge in the courtyard, which is an exchange of interests.

And he is willing to give reasonable returns.
