The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"No, I'm not like you." Edward said coldly.

Faced with the rather offensive answer, Hallilali just smiled lightly, without showing any sign of being offended.

For some reason, this divine aura made Edward feel a little uncomfortable.

He remembered that on the way through the Great Wall, the girl had squatted down countless times and gently stroked the withered wild flowers on the roadside, turning them into beautiful blue crystals.

He saw the girl save the young leader of the Fox Guard Pavilion - she should have been defeated and died, and was eliminated, but the girl used her strange power to save her and gave her a new life.

These behaviors not only made Edward incomprehensible, but also made him instinctively disgusted.

From childhood to adulthood, he only recognized one law. Like the wild beasts in the jungle on the border of Lavis, he was a creation of nature and a hunter created by the law.

In his opinion, this kind of compassion in Halilali Hafrigard is against the law of the jungle.

This made him impatient; he had no time to play house with little girls.

"Can we go?"

Edward pointed at the door, the cold light in his silver eyes almost piercing through the girl.

Hallilali was stunned for a moment, then smiled gently and nodded:

"Well, let's go."

Before walking out of the mountain temple, Halilali looked back for the last time and took a look at the statues in the mountain temple.

"Brother, does it have to be like this?" Edward heard her murmur.

......

In the week following the shattering of Misala, the Akademi Federation and Qilang teetered on the brink of peace numerous times and nearly entered a state of war.

In reality, both sides knew they could not go to war—the storms that separated the ocean made it nearly impossible for them to launch a large-scale invasion of each other’s territory, and even if they did, they would ultimately be consumed by the vast strategic depth.

But both sides were completely unwilling to give in - they all showed an inexplicable paranoia towards these visitors from outside the starry sky, as if they wanted to hold them all in their hands.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Halilali Hafrigard, the Federation, the Republic and Hafrigard decided to hold a meeting to decide the affiliation of the Hafrigard people while negotiating.

Her proposal was quickly agreed upon by all three parties - after all, not long after the eggshell capsule landed, a spire was built far outside the Eastern Wall, and all the Hafurgard people were relocated there by some means.

No one knows how they did it, but everyone knows that if they want to get something from these aliens, they must first listen to their demands.

The meeting to exchange demands was scheduled in Qingcheng, a border city in the southwest of the Qilang Republic.

"..."

After visiting the mountain temple, Edward and Harilalli came to the temporary conference hall in the east of Qingcheng, where representatives from the Federation and Qilang were already sitting at the conference table.

Halilali slowly walked to the seats belonging to the Hafurgaard tribe. The conference hall, which was originally full of whispers, suddenly became quiet. Almost everyone was looking at the girl from the stars, looking at her pure white hair, blood-red eyes, and the wise gaze like a god.

Edward glanced coldly at Harilali's back, then walked to the row of seats for the Federation and sat down next to a tall man.

Seeing him take a seat, the man turned his head and stared at Edward with his silver eyes:

"She's very honest, right? She didn't do anything out of the ordinary?"

"No," Edward said coldly, "I visited a temple, that's all."

"Well, very good. Father said that the interests of the Federation need to be defended. If she escapes, it will be a loss for us."

The man's voice held a hint of authority, but Edward knew his brother wasn't so confident.

Hermes von Valantia, the eldest son of Laplace von Valantia, the head of the Academy, is an excellent politician and scholar, but not a good warrior.

Edward knew that his brother had always longed to serve on the front lines himself, but was rejected by their father.

Unlike Edward who was trained as a war machine, Hermes has always been trained as an heir, so he is naturally more valuable.

Hermes, who had been strictly controlled since childhood, naturally developed a strong desire for control when he grew up.

But now, on the soil of the other side, he could not use his own force to protect himself.

This was something Hermes could not tolerate.

"..."

Edward stared coldly at the beads of sweat on his brother's forehead. He felt disdainful but said nothing.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the person sitting at Qi Lang's seat stood up and bowed his head towards the venue, signaling:

"Now that Miss Hallilali is here, the meeting can begin."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Yan Chu, the representative sent by the [Symbolic Meeting] this time."

The man named Yan Chu said calmly, with a broken eyebrow on his forehead, which added a touch of majesty to his bookish face.

Just by looking into his eyes, Edward knew that he was a ruthless man.

"We are ready here," Hermes turned his head, "Miss Hallilali?"

"I'm always ready, but..."

As Hali Lali spoke, she swept her eyes across the room, and finally focused her gaze on Yan Chu's face:

"Before that, please disarm all the missiles you have locked onto this place."

She turned her gaze to Hermes on the other side and said:

"And yours, lift them together."

Interlude) Star Covenant (Part 2)

As soon as Hallilali said this, almost everyone in the room fell silent.

Of course, before the meeting began, everyone knew that they were at the intersection of the firepower of the two superpowers - in order to ensure the safety of the meeting, the arms deterrence of both sides was inevitable and must exist.

This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows, and now this godly girl has pointed it out in broad daylight.

Moreover, there was a hint of persistence on her face, which made her look very serious and even a little childish.

"Hmph..." Edward curled his lips in disdain, feeling disdain for Halle and Lali's behavior.

She's probably never been through anything, right?

That attitude is just like a sheep that takes the initiative to point out that there is a shotgun hidden behind the hunter, naively thinking that the hunter will really put down the shotgun and talk to her on an equal footing.

Oh... childish and ignorant...

"..."

After a brief pause, Yan Chu turned to look at Harilalli and said calmly:

"Miss Hallilally, this is impossible."

"Why?" Hallilali frowned, "How could you..."

"Please forgive me," Yan Chu nodded, "This is a necessary measure to ensure safety."

"Your way of ensuring safety is to aim missiles at everyone here?"

There was a hint of anger between Hallilali's beautiful brows. She looked around the conference room, her eyes sweeping across those pairs of eyes:

"Do you all accept that?"

Yan Chu didn't say anything, but just looked at Hallilali calmly.

"What about you?" Halilali turned to look at Hermes, "Do you think the same as them?"

"The scales must be balanced," said Hermes. "It is necessary."

Hearing Hermes' answer, Halilali was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, seeming a little confused.

"Can't you just be...honest..." Edward heard her murmur.

Haha...this is so childish...Where did she come from, some peaceful heaven?

Edward looked coldly at Halle and Lali's slightly lonely figure, as if he was looking at a childish little girl.

She was like a little bird entering the jungle for the first time, and her every move revealed ridiculous sincerity.

Sooner or later, someone will eat you... This ignorant existence...

"Can we continue the meeting?" Yan Chu said softly, "If possible, then..."

"[Ghost] calling the 'Dazzling Moon', please cancel the large-scale missile lock on the venue."

Edward said this coldly, and all eyes in the conference hall were focused on him, including the somewhat surprised eyes of Halle and Lali.

"What are you doing?" Hermes scolded in a low voice, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, his silver eyes froze slightly, realizing Edward's intention -

——The missiles locked onto this place, the "Jiao Yue" is just one of them.

Edward's actions could quickly shift the Federation's position behind Harilalli and gain her trust.

How come I didn't think of this at all? Hermes suddenly felt confused.

There was a sudden whisper in the meeting room. Amidst the noise, Edward looked at Harley and said coldly:

"It's what you wished for, can you continue?"

Hallilali blinked her eyes gently. She had originally chosen to give up, but suddenly her wish was fulfilled.

Looking at those cold silver eyes, she suddenly felt a little surprised.

That person...he has always been so cold...

"Yes." Hali Lali nodded, "Let's get started."

She glanced at Yan Chu on Qi Lang's side again. Obviously, Qi Lang had no intention of lifting the lock.

But at least one party can show goodwill, which is a great progress...

Hallilali felt something in her heart being filled. She took a deep breath and then spoke softly:

"I am the Day Star from the High Heavens, Halilari Hafurgard, also known as the Hafurgard Clan by the Sons of the Dust Stars."

"The purpose of this trip is to find my brother, Coles Hafgard, and to continue the flame of civilization."

"Our civilization is flourishing," Hermes said, "thank you for your kindness."

"Really? The [Lord of the Black Tide] has been attacking the Great Wall, and Qilang's national strength is being continuously consumed. This is the fact I have learned." said Halilali.

"That's something our friend Qi Lang needs to consider, isn't it?"

Hermes glanced at Yan Chu opposite him with a slightly ironic look. The confrontation between the Admir Continent and the East Continent had lasted for a hundred years on both sides of the storm, and neither side had ever compromised.

Faced with the provocation, Yan Chu did not show any anger, but said calmly:

"When Qilang falls, hundreds of millions of people will become nutrients for the Black Tide ecosystem. At that time, the army of the [Black Tide Lord] will be expanded without limit, giving birth to countless new mutants."

Yan Chu's voice was very calm, as if these hundreds of millions of people were just a number:

"Under the will of the Lord of the Black Tide, even if those unknown beings only use their bodies to fill the sea, it will be enough to build a bridge across the sea. I hope you can build a second Great Wall before that."

"It's just bravado," Hermes said, but his tone was not so sure.

"You know this is the truth," Yan Chu said, turning to look at Hali Lali, "The Great Wall has never been just the Great Wall of the Qilang people, it is the Great Wall of all mankind."

"My brother left you a [core], and I saw you use it to power the Great Wall," Hali Lali nodded, "but it can only last for a few decades at most."

"This cannot serve as a deterrent to us. We will find a better way out," said Hermes.

"This is a meaningless argument and there is no need to continue," Yan Chu said, "So, Miss Hallilali, I think we should get back to the point?"

"Yes, that's right," Hali Lali nodded, "I need you to help me push the Black Tide's front line back until we find the Lord of the Black Tide."

"This will be very dangerous. Facing the black tide, Qi Lang has always been on the defensive, but even so, our hinterland has been constantly invaded."

"That's right, so this requires the efforts of everyone," Halilali looked at Hermes, "There are seeds of fire from the previous civilization on your continental island, and you should also contribute to it."

"And then we were targeted by the missiles of the Qilang people?" Hermes looked at Yan Chu, "If there were no other civilizations on our island that were unaware of this, their [Eyes of the Sky] would have already covered us like an overwhelming force. In my opinion, shouldn't you show more sincerity?"

"It is a deplorable act to kidnap other civilizations and constantly threaten us," Yan Chu looked at him calmly, "As sinners, the descendants of Odin should respect themselves."

"You two-faced bastard, you..."

"enough."

A cold voice sounded, and everyone's eyes focused on the speaker - it was Edward again.

His aura even made Hermes speechless for a moment. He could only stare blankly at his brother who suddenly stood up - he was looking directly at Halilali Havrgard, who was also looking directly at him.

"I just have one question."
