Perhaps he sensed something was wrong with the mood of the two elders Zhao Pan and Han Qidong. Wei Zhengze frowned slightly.
He glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and then asked with a hint of confusion, "You two seem to have different opinions?"
Hearing Wei Zhengze's words, Zhao Pan and Han Qidong exchanged glances again. After confirming each other's thoughts, Zhao Pan looked at Wei Zhengze and said seriously,
"Mr. Wei, you are capitulating, you must do otherwise."
"We build shelters not only to leave the spark of civilization to us humans, but also to protect the people of a place."
"If we surrender when we encounter high-level catastrophes, and if we surrender when we encounter a large army, then what is the point of establishing our shelter?"
"If you can surrender to the invading enemies today, you can surrender to the invading rebels tomorrow, and you can surrender to the evil god the day after tomorrow."
"Moreover, if we surrender without even fighting, the energy and spirit of our sanctuary army will easily be dispersed."
Hearing Zhao Pan's words, which seemed to make some sense, Wei Zhengze couldn't help but reveal a deep thought on his face.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that Zhao Pan would raise this topic to such a high level.
After all, in his heart, no matter how hard they put it, Qiu Tu and Princess Xi were actually the upper echelons of the shelter and belonged to him.
Surrendering to one's own people, surrendering to rebels, and surrendering to evil gods are completely different concepts in his mind.
However, I have to say that it is indeed logical for Zhao Pan not to talk about the situation but the core.
Therefore, for a while, Wei Zhengze was a little hesitant.
As a result, before he could figure it out, Han Qidong also spoke from the side.
He is a thin old man with a goatee.
Stroking his goatee, Han Qidong looked at Wei Zhengze, his eyes full of shrewdness. He said, "Old Wei, Elder Zhao is right."
"Although Qiu Tu used Lin Xi as a springboard to intervene in our shelter, everyone knows that he is the mastermind behind everything."
"Whether it's Lin Xi or the Kou family, they are actually just pawns on his chessboard, just following his orders."
"Just like he used the "Kang Wang's death" incident to intervene in the 6th Sanctuary, he now puts Lin Xi in front just to deal with the questioning of the Human Alliance."
"But the top management of the major shelters are not fools. Who can't see through his little tricks?"
"It's just that everyone doesn't want to break up with him yet, so they just pretend not to know."
After hearing Han Qidong's words, Wei Zhengze nodded slightly.
If the major shelters could not guess Qiu Tu's purpose before, then the situation is almost completely clear now.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see what Qiu Tu's ultimate goal is, and it is nothing more than the "King of the Northwest".
And this also coincides with the "order-politics" catastrophic approach that Qiu Tu has exposed.
Because if Qiu Tu wants to continue to upgrade, he has the only way to become the "King of the Northwest".
However, knowing is one thing. Whether it can be stopped is another matter.
Thinking this, Wei Zhengze leaned back after hesitating for a moment.
He is a huge, round-waisted warrior with a sinewy face and a somewhat fierce look.
But being able to become the Big Three of the 7th Sanctuary and being able to check and balance each other with the Han and Zhao families for so long, he is certainly not as simple as it seems on the outside.
Therefore, he decisively threw the problem back and said dullly, "What you said makes sense."
"I also agree with what you said, we cannot accept this kind of aggression from Qiu Tu."
"But here comes the problem. Now who tells me how we can stop Qiu Tu?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Pan and asked, "Is it your Zhao family who is going to withstand the attack of the seventh-level cataclysm?"
After saying that, he looked at Han Qidong again, "Should your Han family resist the millions of coalition forces in the 6th and 8th shelters?"
Zhao Pan was able to get to where he is now; he was still keenly aware of the power of the Lin family's "Butterfly Gu", and later collected relevant information and continued research. Of course, he had two brushes.
The verbal exchanges between the three of them just now also gave him enough time to think.
Therefore, he tapped his finger on the armrest of his chair and said slowly, "The winning or losing of a game of chess is never about the chess pieces, but outside the chessboard."
"We are indeed no match for Qiu Tu, but that doesn't mean other shelters are no match for Qiu Tu either."
"Like the 3rd and 4th shelters, it's not like they don't have level 6 masters."
His eyes were deep and full of strategizing, "And we don't need to do anything deliberately. We can just learn what Qiu Tu did."
"Didn't he use Lin Xi and the Kou family to ask for help to legitimately and legally invade the 6th shelter and our shelter?"
"Then we also ask for help. Give the 3rd, 4th, and 5th shelters a chance to join our shelter and even the northwest region."
Hearing Zhao Pan's words, not to mention Wei Zhengze, even Han Xiangdong was shocked.
Han Xiangdong thought carefully and said, "Is this really appropriate?"
"Let's not reject the wolf at the front door and let the tiger enter at the back door."
When Zhao Pan heard this, he shook his head slightly.
For him to come up with this idea, he has obviously already thought about it.
He said, "You must understand that threats from far away are not scary, but enemies close by are scary."
"Distance is the key to administrative efficiency. The same country can still be far apart, let alone remote control."
"The 3rd, 4th, and 5th shelters are in the southwest, far away from us."
"Even if they really repel Qiu Tu and want to intervene in the affairs of our shelter, they are so far apart and their influence will be extremely limited."
"Even if they do issue an order and we disobey it, it will be difficult for them to deal with it."
"In contrast, Qiu Tu is different. He is too close to us. Once he takes control of the shelter, we will really have no chance of turning around."
"He can easily control the shelter and place his cronies throughout the shelter to establish his own influence."
"Once he establishes his own political system, it will be very simple to exclude us or drive us out of the core power group."
After hearing Zhao Pan's words, Wei Zhengze and Han Xiangdong looked at each other, and they both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
After a moment, Wei Zhengze asked, "But Qiu Tu and Zhao Ji killed the seventh-level catastrophe. Can the 3rd, 4th, and 5th shelters really deal with him?"
Hearing Wei Zhengze's question, Zhao Pan smiled and said, "Is it important whether the 3rd, 4th, and 5th shelters can deal with Qiu Tu?"
He asked and answered to himself without waiting for Wei Zhengze's question, "It's not important."
"Didn't you notice? Even though Qiu Tu is very radical and crazy in what he does, in fact he has always been very restrained in what he does and sticks to the red line."
"For example, he has never let evil gods attack humans, and he has never killed any high-level shelter executive without authorization."
There was a hint of fear in Zhao Pan's eyes, "From the time he rose to the present, he has actually been "using his power to suppress others."
"If you have any conflicts with higher-ups, kill the evil god."
"If you have any conflicts with higher-ups, kill the evil god again."
"He is threatening his political opponents and forcing his political opponents to make concessions in a very forceful way that leaves no room for fault."
"In fact, this effect is indeed very significant. Faced with Qiu Tu's strong and naked demonstration, most of his political opponents had no choice but to give in."
"After all, Qiu Tu is not just a showman, but someone who is truly capable."
"but!"
Having said this, Zhao Pan paused and said with a smile, "His behavior actually exposed his weakness."
"Why is he so cautious?"
"The reason is very simple." Zhao Pan glanced at Han Xiangdong and Wei Zhengze, "Because of his catastrophic approach."
Qiu Tu's path to disaster is no longer a secret at all.
So as soon as Zhao Pan reminded him, Wei Zhengze and Han Xiangdong's eyes suddenly became clear.
Han Xiangdong thought while twirling his goatee, and then slowly answered, "Qiu Tu's "catastrophic approach" is "order-politics."
"This catastrophic path is too special. It will bring him a lot of help in the early stage, but it will also bring a lot of shackles to him in the later stage."
"So, you think that as long as there is a high-level catastrophe who sees through all this and stops him at all costs, in fact, he doesn't dare to do it at all?"
Zhao Pan's perspective of thinking was indeed something Wei Zhengze and Han Qidong had never thought of.
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed quite reasonable.
Qiu Tu's approach is "order-politics", so he is destined not to be alone, but to unite a lot of people and then establish a system.
This is also the reason why Qiu Tu always adheres to the bottom line in the human camp, although he does radical things.
After all, once he exceeds the bottom line, major shelters will exclude him and expel him. Then his path to disaster is likely to plummet, and he will fall directly to the altar.
Therefore, Qiu Tu, who has already launched a war against the 6th and 7th shelters, will definitely not dare to offend the 3rd, 4th and 5th shelters again.
So, as long as we grasp this weakness, maybe it will really work wonders?
Thinking like this, for a moment, both Wei Zhengze and Han Qidong showed deep thoughts in their eyes.
However, what they didn't realize was that while the two of them were deep in thought, there was a darkness in Zhao Pan's eyes that was so thick that it couldn't be dispersed.
At the same time, when the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei were discussing how to deal with Qiu Tu.
Shelter 7, Fengqi Prefecture, state capital, speaker's residence.
Qiu Tu was sitting in the hall of the mansion, looking down at the jackal kneeling in front of him, with a playful look on his face, "Jackal, do you really want to take refuge with me?"
"And are you willing to report to me all the information on the "Kirigakure" and the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 5th shelters in the "Southwestern Region" to show your determination?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, the jackal kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly. He said with a flattering smile, "Yes, Lord. I have been fighting for the Kirigakure in the "Southwestern Region" for many years."
"Although his level is average, he has very clear information on both the Kirigakure Society and the three major shelters."
"And now that I want to take refuge with you, I will definitely report everything I know to you without reservation."
"And I also hope that this information will be of certain value to you in judging the situation."
After hearing what the jackal said, Qiu Tu touched his chin, and then looked at the 72 points of loyalty on the jackal's head. His eyes flickered, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Things start from the past two days.
Two days ago, Zhao Ji left because of Qiu Tu's teasing. After Qiu Tu lost consciousness for a while, he packed the bodies of the nine lions, then returned to the 6th shelter with the jackals tied into rice dumplings.
.
As a result, on the way back to the 6th shelter, the jackal kept getting close to Qiu Tulu.
Qiu Tu didn't bother to pay attention to him at first, but he kept chattering and rambling.
Later, when he saw Qiu Tu ignoring him, he might have been a little anxious, so he simply expressed his thoughts directly: he wanted to join Qiu Tu, become Qiu Tu's subordinate, and help Qiu Tu deal with the "Misty Hidden Society" together.
Qiu Tu is not a fool. Moreover, even if he is a fool, he cannot believe whatever the evil god says.
So when the jackal was making too much noise, Qiu Tu took out a rag and blocked his mouth.
After that, Qiu Tu returned to the 6th shelter and began to make arrangements for the expedition to the 7th shelter.
Because using "Order Space" to limit a level 6 evil god consumes a lot of strength, Qiu Tu planned to interrogate the jackal and then kill him after arranging the expedition.
As a result, who knows, maybe Jackal really wants to take refuge, and his life has been controlled by Qiu Tu. So "Loyalty" actually appeared on his head.
Moreover, the loyalty is not low, it is 58 at the beginning.
This immediately aroused Qiu Tu's curiosity.
You know, Qiu Tu's plan to "conquer evil gods with evil gods" has a brilliant record, but its progress is actually not smooth.
Apart from Zhao Ji and La Riluo, whom he conquered with their beauty, he only has one evil god subordinate, "Mu Ye".
After all, the foundation of "Muye" is too shallow, and it is difficult to bring more evil god helpers to Qiu Tu.
The "Jackal" is different. As the sixth-level evil god of the "Southwestern Region", the Jackal has been working in the Southwest for many years.
Not only does he have a group of bad friends, but he also has a group of trusted subordinates.
Once he can be subdued, the "evil god camp" in Qiu Tu's hands will immediately be greatly expanded.
And more importantly, the jackal is very powerful.
Even though he has been here for so many years, he has yet to break through to the mid-level 6th level, and he has almost no power to fight back against someone like Qiu Tu.
But the sixth level is the sixth level. In the "Northwest Region", it is the king!
Zhao Ji, Qiu Tu can't give orders. And there are many things that Qiu Tu can't do by himself. At this time, the jackal can stand up.
Many things that Qiu is inconvenient to do or does not have time to do can be left to him.
It can save Qiu Tu a lot of time.
As for the "information" that Jackal thinks can attract Qiu Tu, it is important or not.
It's important because Qiu Tu really needs information about the "Kirikakukai" and other regional shelters.
It doesn't matter because Qiu Tu has a "space of order". Even if the jackal doesn't say anything, he can directly interrogate him by force.
At that time, after comprehensively considering the value of keeping the jackal, to be honest, Qiu Tu was tempted.
After all, a living Level 6 Evil God is much more valuable than a Level 6 "Infinite Divine Crystal".
However, Qiu Tu also knows that all intelligent creatures are actually "cheap".
The easier things are to get, the less they are cherished.
Now that the jackal wants to surrender at such a miserable time, Qiu Tu must of course handle him well.
Therefore, Qiu Tu had been keeping the jackal with him for the past two days, but he showed that he did not believe in his surrender.
It was not until today that Fengqi Prefecture was completely pacified that Qiu Tu decided to have a formal chat with Jackal.
The reward from handling the jackal these past few days is that the jackal's loyalty has increased from 58 to 72.
It is estimated that he has been frightened in the past few days. He has tried every means to gain Qiu Tu's trust and brainwashed himself every day to make himself more loyal.
This made his loyalty skyrocket.
Of course, there is a limit to this, and you can't keep playing. So today, Qiu Tu felt that the time was right, and he was finally ready to have a chat with Jackal.
Hearing the jackal's flattery to express his loyalty, Qiu Tu picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then said calmly, "Since you want to surrender, you must have a surrender attitude.
"
"Don't wait until you take refuge with me before you report the information. Just tell me the information about the 3rd, 4th, and 5th shelters now to prove your sincerity."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Jackal's expression suddenly changed.
To be honest, he was really afraid that after he finished telling the information, Qiu Tu would feel that he was of no use and would kill him directly.
But thinking of Qiu Tu's reputation and character, the jackal gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and decided to take a gamble.
So, he looked at Qiu Tu and said with a flattering smile, "Okay, Lord. Then I will report to you the information on the three major shelters in the "Southwest Region"."
He said, "The southwest region is similar to the northwest region, both have three major shelters."
"These three major shelters were established at different times. The third shelter is the earliest, and the fifth shelter is the latest."
"But they were all established with the support of Shelter 2."
"Among them, the political system of Sanctuary 5 is the most special, it is a federal system."
"Because the "Southwest Region" has many ethnic groups and clans. After encountering the disaster, they formed medium-sized forces bound by customs or blood ties."
"The founder of the 5th Sanctuary was keenly aware of this difference, so he formed an alliance with more than a dozen surrounding medium-sized forces to form the 5th Sanctuary."
"After that, it absorbed and expanded outwards, absorbing about 20-30 small and medium-sized forces, and finally formed a federal sanctuary."
"The strength of the 5th shelter is not very strong, it is about the same as the 6th shelter."
"Back then, we braved the "Yellow Charm Disaster" and broke through a group of fifth-level catastrophes. Two of them successfully reached the fifth-level peak and connected with nine stars, and received the "Mountain Root" presented by the second shelter."
"After that, of the two people, one succeeded in promotion and the other failed. The one who succeeded in promotion was successfully elected as the commander-in-chief of the 5th Sanctuary, that is, the president, three years later."
Hearing this, Qiu Tu nodded slightly, his eyes full of deep thought.
After recent intelligence additions, he had almost figured out the general situation of the human camp.
In addition to the mysterious first shelter, the second shelter was built in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area" and is the strongest shelter in the human camp.
After they established their foothold in the "Boundless Heart Sea-Core Area", they began to support other human sanctuaries.
Perhaps because of its proximity to the "Southwestern Region", they supported the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 3rd major shelters in the "Southwestern Region".
After that, the four shelters will share their needs with each other, and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th shelters will transfer some of the unique resources of the "marginal area" to the second shelter.
The second shelter will also give some resources from the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Area" to the three major shelters.
Among them, "Yamane", a strategic resource that is only effective in the "marginal area", was of course all sent away by the second shelter.
According to Jackal's information, the Second Sanctuary can get a mountain root every 2-3 years. So they should have sent out more than a dozen one after another (Chapter 586)
Among them, the 3rd shelter will definitely get the most because it was established the earliest, followed by the 4th shelter, and finally the 5th shelter.
In order to cope with the invasion of the evil gods and to gain a foothold in the catastrophic world, the geniuses of the three major shelters braved the danger of the "Yellow Charm Disaster" and forcibly broke through the 4th level and attacked the 5th and 6th levels.
Although the "Yellow Charm" suffered heavy losses due to its life-sucking, at a time when the survival of this race was at stake, there must have been some geniuses among geniuses who came forward.
This also allowed the three major shelters to gain a firm foothold in the southwest region.
After that, while the three major shelters were fighting against the evil gods, they also began to support new shelters in the neighboring northwest region.
So, there were the 6th, 7th, and 8th shelters.
Among them, Kang Wang from the 6th shelter has the strongest momentum and the highest talent, and he also passed level 4 early.
So the 3rd Sanctuary donated its extra mountain roots to King Kang, hoping that he could become the first level 6 catastrophe in the "Northwestern Region" and guard the "Northwestern Region".
Unexpectedly, a series of things happened next.
But no matter what, human beings did not become extinct in the Catastrophic Era, all thanks to the 2nd Shelter, as well as the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Shelters that came one after another, with the idea of ​​death, attacking the 4th and 5th levels.
The 6th level martyr.
Without their sacrifices and without the super-level catastrophic beings who relied on their numbers, humanity might have been exterminated or enslaved by the evil gods long ago.
After recalling the brief history of the eight major shelters, Qiu Tu looked at Jackal, and then continued to ask, "What about the fourth shelter?"
When the jackal heard about the 4th shelter, his face suddenly showed an expression of admiration but anger.
He said, "The fourth shelter is the area where the Nine-Headed Lion and I suppress it."
"They are a little more special than other shelters."
"The founder is the daughter of a big shot in the 2nd Sanctuary. She has a very magical "group catastrophic ability" called the "Lady Army"."
"As long as you are a female catastrophic and have been trained by her for a certain period of time and follow her orders and prohibitions, you can be included in her "women's army"."
"And all the women soldiers who are included in her "women's army" can not only add strength to her during battle, but also share their vitality with each other."
"It's extremely difficult to deal with."
Speaking of this, the jackal showed a hint of headache on his face.
Seeing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but asked curiously, "How many people can be grouped at most?"
Because Jackal's hands and feet were still tied, he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know. She has now formed an "Iron Detachment of Women" with more than 1,700 people. It seems that there is no upper limit yet."
Qiu Tu continued to ask, "How much can that increase for the female commander?"
The jackal said, "The true strength of that female commander is the sixth level for the first time. In the last battle, it has increased to the middle of the seventh level."
This time, Qiu Tu was surprised. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you her opponent?"
The jackal looked embarrassed, "Of course not in a head-on confrontation."
"But her abilities are not very mobile after all. If she wants to start a fight, we will run away. When her abilities cool down, we will fight back."
"This powerful ability has many limitations and a high cost. It cannot be used frequently. So we managed to fight back and forth and barely controlled the situation."
Speaking of this, Jackal thought for a while and said, "Actually, we don't care about her strength at all."
"No matter how strong she is, it's useless if we don't attack her head-on."
"What we care about is her 'Steel Detachment'."
When Qiu Tu heard this, he said "Oh?" and then asked curiously, "Why?"
The jackal knelt there with a disgusted look on his face as if he had eaten a bed bug, "My lord, you don't know how difficult that "Iron Detachment" is."
"They share their lives with each other, and their strength is still united."
"Unless there is a master who can kill these 1,700 people in one move, or at least break their blood ties, it will be impossible to kill any of them."
"They were all injured together and healed together. One person's fatal injury, spread equally among 1,700 people, is almost like an extra wound on the hand."
Qiu Tu:
From this point of view, this catastrophic ability is indeed a bit abnormal. No wonder the female leader would go from the "core area" to the edge area, and then build a shelter by herself.
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but become interested in the "Steel Detachment of Women" in the 4th shelter and the "female leader".
He felt that if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely go to the 5th shelter for a few days or something.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu also regained his composure, and then asked about the situation of the third shelter that he was most interested in.
He asked, "What about the third shelter?"
Upon hearing Qiu Tu's inquiry, Jackal's face suddenly became serious.
He thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and said with a gloomy face, "My lord, you can regard my words as provoking discord, or you can regard them as pure conjecture."
"But, I seriously want to tell you that there is something wrong with Shelter 3."
"Something's wrong?" Qiu Tu frowned and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Jackal recalled while saying, "You humans always like to call us, or some low-level catastrophic creatures with the bloodline of gods above level 6, evil gods."
"But I don't know. This name actually came from the 3rd shelter."
"However, compared to us who are called evil gods, they seem to be even more evil."
