Doctor, I'm really strong!

The key issue is a group of commoners. Once they accept that their country's elite have been defeated by these commoners, the authority of the Ursus Empire will be trampled on, and surrounding countries will become restless, especially those sworn enemies of Ursus.

As a military empire, it must bear the risks of a military empire. Once its strength is shaken, it will face the most terrible backlash. The enemy will not give the Ursus Empire a second chance to rise; they will only want to eliminate any future troubles.

It's not surprising that an organization like an anti-Ursus Empire alliance would emerge because of this incident. On one hand, there's the pressure the Ursus Empire puts on neighboring countries, and on the other hand, there are too many countries that can't stand to see the Ursus Empire doing well, from Victoria and Colombia in the distance to Casimir and Letania in the near future.

The relationship between these countries can hardly be described as friendly; at the very least, they are mortal enemies.

As for the 24-hour deterrence against Kyiv mentioned in the statement, nobody took it seriously.

Look at the distance on the map. Even if Chernobog were to run at full speed right now, it would still take a week to get to the neighboring city of Kyiv, and that's assuming Kyiv doesn't move an inch. In 24 hours, are you planning to fly there?

Moreover, Kiev, as an important granary for Ursus, is home to 20,000 elite troops year-round. These are the Imperial Guards, whose combat power is no weaker than the Fourth Legion, and they are also backed by the Emperor's inner guard. Even if a group of demons came to raid Kiev, the Ursus Empire was confident that they could let them experience the joy of winter coming.

Under this line of thinking, the Imperial Conference became about how to suppress the rebels, to make those ignorant and arrogant commoners realize their mistakes, and to give them the most severe punishment!

Time ticked by, and there were only ten minutes left until the 24-hour deadline.

Section 85: The Pistol Slammed on the Negotiating Table

(Good evening, comrades! (～￣▽￣)～)

The announcement period is about to expire, and Kyiv remains peaceful and serene.

"What a beautiful city, what a pity."

Liu Jiuli hovered a thousand meters in the air, below which lay Kiev, the largest agricultural mobile city in the Ursus Empire.

Despite saying it was a pity, when it came time to act, Liu Jiuli did not hesitate at all. Powerful energy began to condense, and even the surrounding source stones began to activate. The piercing alarm sounded immediately in Kiev below.

Before transmigrating, I was just a 007 worker; after transmigrating, I became ruthless and decisive. It's really amazing.

However, upon closer reflection, those more than one hundred suicide attempts that I was willing to risk, although they seemed indifferent to me, actually took a crazy turn to the point of near-distortion. Perhaps from the moment I chose the leap of faith, something had already changed completely.

The natural disaster alert threw Kyiv into chaos. What terrified the city's disaster messengers even more was that the disaster had struck suddenly and had already engulfed the entire city, leaving them with nowhere to escape.

"Let me test the limits of Originium Arts."

Liu Jiuli's Originium Arts were taught by Ling Jiao, and Black Snake also provided teaching materials. However, even Black Snake himself admitted that Yan Country was ahead of the rest of the world in this regard. No one understood Originium Arts better than Yan Country. This is why Yan Country's Originium Arts are magic, while those of other countries can only be called magic, or even acrobatics or monkey shows.

The difference between the two engines can be so huge it's unbelievable.

This spell is very simple: vibration. It uses Originium energy to create strong vibrations. Depending on the medium on which the vibration is applied, it can produce various effects, such as infrasound-like resonance or even an earthquake.

Liu Jiuli's spell target was the land beneath Kiev. On this land filled with Originium crystals, the activated Originium, guided by his mental power, produced the effect he desired. As the earth collapsed, the natural disaster began.

This is actually man-made Originium Arts, but when it scales up to the city level, it becomes a natural disaster.

The massive mobile city, faced with the crumbling earth, is like a toy broken by a child. No matter how sturdy this human creation may be, once its foothold is taken away and the surrounding land begins to squeeze, it becomes as fragile as an egg dropped from a hundred meters in the air.

The connecting structures were torn apart, the entire block was broken into several sections, and countless factories and buildings were razed to the ground in an instant. The only places that were not affected were the civilian district and slum area that Liu Jiuli was specifically guarding.

These places are very obvious when viewed from above; they lack tall buildings, and there are basically no buildings taller than 20 meters.

Thanks to the kindness of those wealthy folks, these blocks are clearly separated from the affluent areas, making it easy for Liu Jiuli to distinguish them.

As the smoke and clouds billowed up, Kyiv was completely destroyed. The remaining civilian districts and slums were not enough to rebuild the city. Even if it could be rebuilt, the time required would be too much for Saint-Germain to wait for. In the following years, they could only obtain food and vegetables from other cities.

After taking photos with the drone, Liu Jiuli left Kyiv and flew towards St. Martin's Castle.

The deterrence has been established; now it's time for dialogue.

In fact, news of the destruction of Kiev reached the Ursus Tsar an hour later. The Ursus Tsar, who was discussing matters with his trusted ministers, was stunned.

The reason for such a rapid pace was not due to increased efficiency among the Ursus bureaucrats, but rather because Kiev was of paramount importance to St. Arthur's Castle. Moreover, it was located less than 200 kilometers away from St. Arthur's Castle. Because it was a mobile city, the two cities were sometimes less than 10 kilometers apart. There were numerous caravans and transport teams traveling between the two cities, and it was also one of the few places in the Ursus Empire free from banditry.

There are no bandits around Chernobog now (～￣▽￣)～.

Upon receiving the news, the Tsar slumped in his chair, muttering, "How could this be? How could this be? How could this be?"

Let alone him, it's hard for anyone to believe this is true, but it really happened. Although the report says it was a natural disaster, the problem is that natural disaster messengers can be avoided. This natural disaster happened very suddenly, engulfing Kyiv in an instant, leaving the people inside without even the chance to call for help.

"Who can tell me what's going on? What's going on?!"

No wonder the Tsar was so furious he almost lost his mind. It's like when you're playing StarCraft, less than ten minutes into the game, the enemy sends 10,000 Yamatos to attack you. Who the hell can accept that kind of cheating?

But there's really no way to explain this. Whether from a technical or metaphysical perspective, no one can offer an explanation. Finally, the youngest of the group of confidants, Grand Duke Nix, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there might be a prophecy from the Yan Kingdom that could provide us with a clue about this."

"What prophecy?"

"The true dragon has descended (the true dragon descends to earth), and the glory of the Yan Kingdom will last for ten thousand years (the Great Yan Kingdom will last for ten thousand years)."

The Tsar wanted to say that this was nonsense, but when he thought of the mysterious Eastern power of his neighbor, he dared not utter a curse.

The seventh prince, Nicholas, and his tutor, Gregory, also came. After all, such a major event had occurred, and as the future heir, he had to be present to listen. His main purpose was to gain administrative experience by learning from his father's decisions, in order to prepare himself to become an excellent tsar in the future.

However, this incident was clearly outrageous. The atmosphere was like a fortune telling session, with everyone speaking but no one having any good solutions.

It's obvious that if the Red Guards really have some kind of catastrophic power, then the Ursus Empire will have to be prepared to bear a huge price no matter what it does, and that price is unbearable for the Ursus Empire.

For example, the opponent could come directly to Saint-Germain Castle and unleash their ultimate attack.

The Ursus Empire was essentially a group of tribes banding together for warmth. For a country that had to mobilize the army to levy taxes, centralized power was almost a joke. The farther away from St. Arthur's Castle, the less authoritative the empire became, eventually reducing it to the point where the emperor was far away and the country was completely isolated. Whether policies could be implemented did not depend on the Tsar's courage, but on the ideas of the local lords.

If it benefits me, I will resolutely implement it; if it doesn't, I'll treat it like a fart. After all, it's impossible for you, Tsar, to travel two or three thousand kilometers to launch a long expedition against me. The cost would be so high that even the Tsar himself would rather give up some of his dignity.

The cost of dignity is the highest of all costs, because it often means losing money to gain publicity.

Nicholas listened quietly to the discussion and then considered the issue from the Tsar's perspective.

Gregory was also deep in thought, but his thoughts were more complex, and his expression was very serious, with some unspoken worries.

Just then, a voice suddenly broke in.

"This is really lively! How about I, Liu, join in?"

Chapter 86: I, Liu Jiuli, am super strong.

(Good evening, comrades! (～￣▽￣)～)

The most terrifying thing in the world is when you lead a golden fleet of two hundred people out to a decisive battle, only to have it wiped out by a single nuclear missile from the opposing human race, telling you that all your previous efforts were for nothing.

To the people in the Tsar's study at the Saint-Germain Palace, Liu Jiuli, this uninvited guest, was a terrifying presence.

It should be noted that there were eight imperial guards in this room, but until Liu Jiuli appeared, none of them reacted at all, as if the person in front of them was just a wisp of air.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Tsar shouted, "Who are you?"

Liu Jiuli revealed his eight snow-white teeth and said to everyone with a very professional smile: "My surname is Liu, and I am the current leader of the Red Guards, Liu Jiuli, and also the one who destroyed Kiev."

The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly, and then Speaker Witt lunged at Liu Jiuli. Although the others reacted a little slower, they did the same thing.

This is the imperial palace, and the Tsar is right here. If Liu Jiuli were to harm the Tsar, even just by scratching him, everyone present would be held responsible. They might be exiled to the Far East to experience the extreme cold of minus 150 degrees Celsius.

But their efforts were destined to be in vain. Liu Jiuli just stood there with a smile, and everyone froze in place, their faces contorted in a grimace, indicating that they were struggling but couldn't move an inch.

The Tsar, the Seventh Prince, and Gregory were also imprisoned. Gregory, in particular, naturally recognized Liu Jiuli. There was some information sharing among the Black Snakes (the most confidential parts, which those loyal to Liu Jiuli would not reveal), so there was no issue of face blindness. However, hearing about it before was one thing, but experiencing it in person was another.

This power is so strong that it clearly does not belong to humans.

"Inner Guard!"

The Tsar called out to his most loyal warriors, and then he saw eight black figures fall before him.

Eight bodyguards lay neatly in front of him, motionless. If it weren't for their chests rising and falling, one might easily mistake them for dead.

"Are you looking for them, Your Majesty the Tsar?"

Liu Jiuli looked at the other person with a playful expression, and the atmosphere on the scene became extremely strange.

The Tsar instantly realized the relative power dynamics between the two sides and understood his own weakness. Therefore, his tone softened immediately, and he cautiously inquired, "Does Yan Kingdom want to go to war with Ursus?"

Liu Jiuli turned to Gregory and said, "Then you should ask this black snake clone why he started the war and wanted to use Chernobog to crash into the Dragon Gate and ignite the Yanwu War."

Gregory's expression became very subtle. Although the intelligence indicated that Liu Jiuli was someone who liked to flip tables, was this even called flipping tables? This was more like breaking off a table leg and hitting someone with it. He had said everything that could and couldn't be said. Was he here to cause trouble?

No matter how this matter ends, it will definitely not end well for me.

After all, Black Serpent is the Tsar's enemy when it comes to power, especially military power. The previous Fourth Army issue had already made the Tsar very wary. Now, if he knew that there was a Black Serpent clone by his side, who was also his son's teacher and the only heir he could choose, what do you think the Tsar would think?

Interfering with the succession to the throne is a capital offense in any monarchy.

Today you can decide who inherits the throne, but tomorrow you might be sitting on the throne yourself!

Whether Black Serpent had this idea or not is not important; what is important is whether the Ursus Emperor had this idea.

The Tsar hated the Black Serpent intensely. He was worried that this was not a time of internal strife. No matter how much the Black Serpent did wrong, he was still acting in the name of the Ursus gods and was one of his own in matters of principle. Now, facing Liu Jiuli, an outsider, they had to unite against him.

The Tsar then said to Liu Jiuli, "But it is a fact that you occupied Chernobog. How do you explain that?"

Liu Jiuli said with a smile, "It's simple, just grant me that place, I don't mind being a nobleman of Ursus."

Everyone was dumbfounded; what kind of thought process was this?

A man from Yan came to Ursus, seized a city, ruined his country's gods' plans, and then demanded that the Tsar grant him the city he had occupied. How could you open your mouth while eating sunflower seeds in the toilet!

The Tsar's anger subsided immediately: "Do you think that's possible?"

Liu Jiuli nodded: "I think it's very likely."

The Tsar retorted, "On what grounds?"

Liu Jiuli: "If you disagree, the consequences will be severe."

Tsar: "Do you think killing us will solve the problem? You are still a traitor!"

Liu Jiuli shrugged: "How could I use such a brutal method? However, I can kill everyone present except Prince Nicholas, then go out and shout 'Prince Nicholas has murdered the emperor and usurped the throne,' and take away the eldest prince Alexei. I can use him as a banner to start a civil war in Ursus. Once Ursus is in chaos, you won't be able to care about anything for a while. I'll have plenty of cards to play then."

The Tsar was furious, while the Seventh Prince dared not utter a word. No matter how he explained it, it would be wrong. It was best for the Crown Prince to keep quiet and pretend nothing had happened.

As for the feasibility of such a thing, Gregory thought... it was very high.

Normally, the success rate of such framing is very low, but Liu Jiuli's extraordinary strength makes up for this shortcoming. He can do exactly what he said. Taking away the eldest prince is equivalent to obtaining a strong claim, indicating that he wants to cleanse the court of corrupt officials or defend the legitimacy of Ursus. In short, as long as he has the banner, the Ursus Empire will definitely be thrown into chaos.

After that, Liu Jiuli could openly and legitimately unite the opposition forces within Ursus and fight against the Seventh Prince. If successful, Ursus would change hands; if unsuccessful, Ursus would be utterly destroyed. Either way, he would be at a disadvantage.

Once the deterrent power of one person being able to defeat an entire nation is established, there is no fairness to speak of when the two sides negotiate.

When other countries launch a war, they need to make decisions and mobilize resources, which takes time and consideration. But a person's anger depends solely on whether that person wants to or not; no one else can restrain him.

A common man's anger is so intense that he might bang his head on the ground.

But if this scoundrel's head could smash through the Earth, then it would turn from dark humor into a horror story.

In fact, this kind of game of directly grabbing people and sending them out to play a split game is just a basic operation. If Liu Jiuli really wanted to directly destroy Ursus, he could kill everyone present now, then support the eldest prince to take the throne, become a Cao Cao, and first destroy the decision-making level of the entire Ursus Empire.
