Chapter 500: Nine-Tails: Blame Me?

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but in terms of relations between countries, this sentence is actually no different from farting.

If they could, I believe that countries would like to have the same relationship with their neighbors as the inhabitants of the reinforced concrete jungle today, with no intersection with each other, and even the link of looking through the door mirror can be dispensed with, but unfortunately, this is obviously an extremely unrealistic idea.

It is undeniable that human beings are in fact a ferocious and aggressive social creature, especially in primitive times, when wars have existed in history since the primitive concept of "tribe" was developed by the increasingly enlightened people.

With the development of the times, the two warring sides have also changed from tribes to ethnic groups, castes, city-states and even kingdoms, until human civilization has entered modern times, and the power has demarcated national borders by force, and wars have also changed into the scale and form between countries.

As an ancient civilization with a long history, one of the four major civilizations in the world, aside from the internal ethnic strife, the Celestial Empire itself is by no means a good neighbor, after all, opening up territory is always a monarch, and a ruler is the easiest way to establish merit and fame, so since ancient times, the Celestial Empire has often played an arrogant and powerful image of invaders in history.

However, even such a powerful Celestial Empire has a history of humiliation in modern times.

If it was besieged by the top powers at that time, it could also be used as a reason for that defeat; The political situation and the backwardness of the economic system can also be used as a key point in the post-mortem analysis. Then, when there is an additional 11 districts in these countries that have only been quietly lurking on the side of this sleeping lion couch as a "servant country" and "subject country" since ancient times, this last fig leaf can be regarded as completely torn off and dropped into dust.

As a neighbor of the Celestial Empire, the country of District 11 can be called a model of a small country and a widow, but it has to be admitted that this country uses a land area equivalent to a province of the Celestial Empire to feed a dozen of the huge population of the Celestial Empire.

The so-called guilt is probably the truth.

Fortunately, in another war a hundred years later, the heroic people of the Celestial Empire regained their lost dignity - defeating such an aggressor with the strength of the country is really nothing to boast about now, but at the time, it was a great victory for the people of the Celestial Empire.

It is worth mentioning that in the original war, the extraordinary abilities of District 11, whether they were evil villains or superheroes, poured out, especially those heroes who pretended to be righteous, completely ignoring the warnings and orders from superhero organizations and individuals in various countries, and wreaked havoc on the land of the Celestial Empire.

It can be said that the superheroes of the Celestial Empire at the beginning had to face a group of people with extraordinary abilities who were powerful throughout the country, plus evil villains who also stood in the opposing camp and belonged to the Celestial Empire. Fortunately, there is no shortage of heroes from all over the world, including the 11th region, who truly adhere to and implement justice, and these heroes have traveled thousands of miles to the Celestial Empire to join this protracted battle, and helped the heroes of the Celestial Empire finally achieve such a difficult and heavy victory.

However, it is precisely after these two wars that the relationship between the Celestial Empire and the 11th District can only maintain a superficial "friendly neighbor" relationship.

Putting aside the political, economic, military, scientific and technological battles of ordinary countries, whether in the era of superheroes or the current era of savior in the post-century war, the confrontation between the two countries has never stopped for a moment.

"Far away...... Not long ago, the crystal incident, you will never forget. ”

Mentor Hong's words made Yi Cheng couldn't help frowning.

Of course, he remembered that not long ago, a wave of unidentified supernatural beings from Area 11 secretly landed in the East Sea Harbor and tried to penetrate deep into the Celestial Empire, but as a result, these abilities were accidentally discovered by the crystal, and in the end, none of them left alive.

And Crystal herself was also investigated by the Savior's Management Office because of this incident, because, putting aside the essential positions of the two countries, on the surface, this kind of killing is, after all, an act of transgression and overstepping authority that is not in line with the "foreign relations and guidelines" at this stage.

Fortunately, after that, intelligence from other sources confirmed that these extraordinary abilities of District 11 did indeed pose a potential threat of sabotage and attack on the Celestial Empire in some way, and Crystal himself was acquitted after this was confirmed and returned to the sequence of field saviors.

"Speaking of which...... I don't know what those District 11 guys were trying to do in the first place. ”

Since Mentor Hong mentioned this matter, Yi Cheng naturally wanted to satisfy his curiosity a little.

After all, the news was captured by him at the beginning, and now it is provided by the howler beast raised in the underground warehouse, and he, the biggest hero, himself does not know, no matter what, he can't get by.

"Now, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

Mentor Red smiled and tapped the tip of his finger on the table.

"Those 'traitors' from District 11 came to the Celestial Empire to find a way to seal the ancient divine beast 'Nine-Tailed Demon Fox'."

"Nine-Tailed Demon Fox?"

Probably because the latter was more attractive, Yi Cheng naturally ignored the information about the "traitorous ninja".

"Well, it is said that there is a demon fox living in District 11 that ran over from the Celestial Empire, and these traitorous ninjas plan to use the method of sealing the nine-tailed demon fox to make the nine-tailed demon fox work for them...... Well, what do those ninjas call that? ”

Mentor Red groaned for a moment before slapping his thigh.

"That's right! Human Pillar Force! That's what it's called! ”

“……”

Putting aside this obvious series of plots, what Yi Cheng is puzzled about is actually another thing.

"Just like that...... Why do crystals put those ...... Rebel and forbearance, all of them are wiped out? ”

The reason why "eliminate" instead of "kill" is probably a small selfish thought in Yi Cheng's heart - although the two words are actually the same thing, the former is obviously more indicative of his position and attitude.

"It's simple."

Mentor Red glanced at Yi Cheng nonchalantly.

"Because, those rebels in District 11 have another mission at the same time."

"Another mission?"

"Oops, oops...... It is more accurate to say that it is not so much a task as a 'goal'. ”

I don't know when I put my toes on the edge of the table, but I don't know it...... Or that he didn't care about the scene of his own defense, and said the truth with a smile that shocked Yi Cheng.

"To put it simply, the content of that mission is to 'kill the main character' - their goal, in fact, you from the beginning."
