Chapter 510: Chapter 458: Crimson (6K)_2

“In short, I must first thank you, sir. Instead of immediately resorting to destructive actions, you’ve given us a chance to negotiate.”

Mobius said, “So, what have you come for this time?”

Li Cheng didn’t answer but looked towards Nikola behind Mobius.

Nikola took a deep breath and said softly, “Sarah Thompson and Jacob Thompson.”

“Bingo.”

Li Cheng tilted his head slightly, “I want you to hand over Cai Anjie’s foster parents, the judge who gave them a lenient sentence, and every British bureaucrat involved in making this decision.”

“…”

Mobius fell into a prolonged silence.

At this moment, in the underground bunker at Whitehall, the Cabinet’s Foreign Minister, watching the screen broadcasted from the Bell Tower Mage’s body camera, subconsciously said, “Wait, this Pifu is just a player? And a Level 21 player?”

“What are we waiting for then,”

The Minister of Justice put down the half-written will and shouted hoarsely, “Hurry up and kill him!”

“Calm down, sir.”

The Cabinet Secretary glanced at him and said calmly, “In the killing field system, level is an important indicator of player strength, but not the only one.

For example, an adult dragon, if it kills a human player and plunders its attributes, would become a Level 1 killing field Summoner.

But its starting power is already equivalent to a Level 15 or even Level 20 human Transcendent.

For human Transcendents, level is not everything either.

The score from each mission, resources plundered from the Script World, the completeness of one’s own power system, the synergistic effects between skill items, and even the elusive luck in opening boxes,

can all significantly influence the intensity of strength.

Even among Level 21 players, combat strength can be vastly different.”

After saying this, the Cabinet Secretary paused, “But the good news is, whether attacking or defending, the player’s Spiritual Power Value has an upper limit. Has our military been mobilized?”

“It’s already been cold-started.”

The Defense Minister put down the phone.

At this moment, in the headquarters of the British Army, the field army command, and the special operations unit of the allied rapid reaction force, all senior command structures were woken up by a series of urgent phone calls.

Every deployable Challenger 3 main battle tank rolled out of the barracks, AS90 self-propelled artillery and M270 MLRS multi-launch rocket systems moved onto the highway,

The Sky Sword medium-range mobile missile air defense system was aimed at the sky over London.

The Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers and Type 26 frigates left the harbor, Sea Viper air defense missiles and 127mm naval guns aimed towards the city center.

Astute-class submarines submerged, Tomahawk cruise missiles poised to launch.

As for the Royal Air Force, Typhoon fighters were taxiing out of the hangar, MQ-9 drones had already taken off, providing high-altitude surveillance at 6,000 meters, with the E-737 AWACS coordinating air power.

[Abnormal Weather on Eurasia Caused by Player?!]

[Boom, boom, boom, a massive explosion! “London Has Fallen” is now showing magnificently]

At the World Nuclear House, Zhangsun Yao chewed on Helaru rice and glanced at the forum.

Such a large-scale fluctuation in abnormal indices couldn’t escape the notice of so many players, and new posts were emerging like a tide on the forum.

Everyone was inquiring about and discussing the latest developments of the event.

Soon, someone with a sharp eye connected the scenes from five days ago where Pifu brought down buildings with a nudge during an exploration mission in the Secret Realm, pinning down the ID of Pifu.

Immediately afterward, those with insider information linked Pifu with the Secret Realm exploration and the recent friction between the UK and the Special Affairs Bureau, roughly deducing the event’s background.

The enthusiasm of players eager for gossip exploded instantly, with new replies and comments skyrocketing like a space elevator.

“Damn, I heard London has sounded a deep red warning!”

“Good, good, good, it’s high time we dealt with the Brits, love from India.”

“This Pifu seems to be the owner of that ‘Star-casting Anvil’ in the slum; is he someone from the Special Affairs Bureau?”

“Replying to upstairs, no.”

“Huh? Then how dare he break into London? Isn’t he just Level 21?”

On the streets of London.

After a long while, Mobius slightly raised his head, “By now, there’s probably a huge uproar outside.”

One can easily imagine that this place has already become the focus of global attention.

Perhaps the Whale Song Guild has already hacked into the nearby street cameras, ready to broadcast in real time…

Uh… no need to say ‘perhaps’.

Dozens of surveillance cameras along the streets, in full view of the people around the Bell Tower, silently adjusted their angles, directing their lenses at the street scenes below.

“I’m sorry, I can’t agree to your request.”

Mobius withdrew his gaze from the cameras above and shook his head, “It’s not that I care whether those British bureaucrats live or die, but… honor.

In your Eastern culture, for large guilds, face and substance are equally important.”

Small countries may not care about sovereignty, and might even give it up, selling their country away.

But a big country can’t do that, and neither can the Bell Tower Guild, which is deeply tied to the UK.

If they let Pifu publicly execute British bureaucrats on the streets of London in front of the whole world with no reaction from the Bell Tower, allowing him to come and go freely, they might as well quit the killing field altogether.

“Joseph Heller’s ‘Catch-22’? Only insane pilots can be exempted from flying, but they must request it themselves. And once a pilot requests it, it proves he’s a sane person, doomed anyway.”

Li Cheng couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle, “Good negotiation with you, demanded the handover of Sarah and Jacob Thompson, but it gets us nowhere.

And if we use violent means to threaten, you feel your honor is damaged and firmly refuse.”
