Chapter 646: Chapter 296 Treason Negotiations

The truce stage allowed all empire players in the main city to agree on a ceasefire.

Angel Envoy Beelzebub slightly lowered the glowing body and said, "The truce stage has begun."

"Please, each faction send no more than one person to the Diplomatic Square to act as the negotiating player."

While speaking, the Angel Envoy released a powerful force field, sealing the gates of the three main cities.

In an instant, a hazy light screen enveloped the gates, making it impossible for everyone to see outside.

However, everyone knew the negotiating player would impact the fate of their entire faction.

If the wrong person was sent to negotiate, letting a mole negotiate, there would be no one from their own at the negotiation table, thus no one to protect their faction’s interests.

"Sivina, you represent the White Empire, hurry!"

Gao Xin immediately pushed Sivina, who hurriedly sprinted out and passed through the light screen.

At the same time, Black Pearl also rushed out of the White Emperor Main City.

However, she collided head-on with the light screen, unable to break through the Angel Envoy’s force field.

"Damn, was I a bit slow?" Black Pearl frowned.

Only one representative per faction was allowed to negotiate.

Entering the Diplomatic Square from the main city made one the negotiating player.

There were no election rules, so undoubtedly, whoever got there first became the negotiating player for their faction.

Black Pearl’s expression turned cold, "I am the ruler of the White Empire, I should have priority as the negotiating player!"

However, the Angel’s light screen was unmoved, and despite Black Pearl wanting to get out, she was forcefully blocked by the misty barrier.

That was the Angel’s force field, forcibly isolating her and preventing her from stepping into the central area.

Black Pearl’s face darkened, and she had no choice but to stand at the gateway of the White Emperor Main City, helpless.

She was the ruler of the empire, but so was Sivina.

When both rulers wanted to be the negotiating players, whoever got to the Diplomatic Square first would still be the negotiating player.

Meanwhile, Gao Xin, seeing this light screen, also realized, some rules were not pointed out but were maintained by the Angel, like the rules for negotiating players and the peace agreement.

The rules stated that negotiation was secretly carried out, the negotiating player could initiate a peace agreement, and the peace agreement was supervised by the Angel.

The content of the agreement after the fact was also enforced by the Angel.

That means these rules were manually executed by the Angel, a factual entity.

The Angel indeed was a powerful ’neutral monster.’

Triggering the ultimate Easter egg was actually about resisting him and defeating him while he was executing the rules.

Of course, without the strength, don’t even think about resisting him, otherwise, if killed by the monster, there would be no room to complain.

"Whoosh!"

As Gao Xin pondered, Lester swiftly dashed toward the gate.

But Phoenix immediately blocked him, "Let me go."

Hearing this, Lester’s face darkened, "I don’t agree."

During the conversation, he immediately used the Eighth Stage Overclocking and rushed out, moving too fast to see clearly.

He zoomed like lightning, sharply turning in the air just in front of Phoenix, and easily bypassed Phoenix.

In terms of speed, he had never feared anyone.

However, just as he bypassed Phoenix and was about to break out...

"Bang!"

He slammed into the barrier...

He couldn’t get out! He was unable to step onto the path leading to the Diplomatic Square.

The Angel had stopped him, which shocked Lester. Who? Who had already represented the Green Emperor players and reached the Diplomatic Square?

Undoubtedly, this situation meant someone had already become the Green Empire’s negotiating player.

Just as Lester attempted to dash out, Mandala also acted, nearly simultaneously.

Although Lester was faster, he was momentarily hindered by Phoenix, allowing Mandala to become the negotiating player first.

However, Lester was unaware of this.

All he knew was that he, Phoenix, and Tai Sui didn’t make it out, and there was another Green Emperor player outside.

It could be Mandala, or it could be Li Fengqing.

"There’s actually an undercover Green Emperor player outside!"

Lester was first surprised and then found a teammate.

Then his heart sank. It didn’t matter who the Green Emperor player outside was. They could find out who participated in the negotiations afterwards.

The important thing was, how could there be so many Green Emperor players?

The White Emperor was currently dominant.

In this game, when one color was dominant, what did that mean? It meant that other colored empires had at most three members, at most!

It could even be one or two, or even none at all.

During non-dominant periods, only those born with green color and those with the soul of green could become Green Emperor players.

Currently claiming to be Green Emperor players were he, Phoenix, and Tai Sui – that was already three.

He knew his identity and now knew there was a Green Emperor player outside... meaning that among Tai Sui and Phoenix, at least one was a mole!

"Phoenix! I knew there was something wrong with you, so you’re a Black Emperor player!"

Lester quickly reacted, pointing his finger directly at Phoenix.

After all, that guy had just intentionally obstructed him.

Although Lester wasn’t sure whether the Green Emperor player outside was Mandala or Li Fengqing, Phoenix was nonetheless highly suspicious.

Gao Xin also spoke coldly, "You’ve deceived me? You’re actually a Black Emperor player!"

Phoenix replied coldly, "Lester, you’re mistaken, Tai Sui is the mole."

"If I were a mole, why would I have competed with you for the chance to be a negotiating player just now?"

"After all, you’re definitely green, you’ve drawn five True Image cards, definitely meant for a Green Emperor player."

"If I compete with you for negotiation rights, how could I not be a Green Emperor player?"

Hearing this, Lester felt there was some reasoning, but he did not express his stance.

Gao Xin declared loudly, "Nonsense! Your intentional obstruction just confirmed your identity, didn’t it?"

"I did nothing; if Lester wanted the negotiation rights, he could just go."

Lester, listening to the two of them contradict each other, found it hard to discern.

Since Phoenix intentionally obstructed him and Gao Xin didn’t make any improper moves, Lester naturally trusted Tai Sui more.

Logically, Phoenix would compete with him precisely because he is of the Green color, as there is only one slot per faction. If he were of any other color, what would he be competing for?

Is it just to simply thwart himself, so that another person outside can succeed?

But wouldn’t that expose himself? And the one who succeeds outside is also a player of the Green Emperor.

Lester was in a dilemma.

Gao Xin sneered, "You don’t need to think anymore, Lester, whatever is said doesn’t matter; let’s just verify it."

"Verify?" Lester was taken aback.

Gao Xin pointed at the screen and said, "The one who can pass through this door definitely cannot be a player of the White Emperor or the Green Emperor, right?"

Lester realized, that was right.

It was known that Sivina had gone to negotiate, and she was the ruler of the White Empire.

It was also known that there was another player of the Green Emperor outside negotiating, which prevented Lester from entering.

Now, the only ones who could still enter were players of the Black Emperor.

"You all rush towards the screen; whoever can pass through it is the player of the Black Emperor!" Lester declared.

Gao Xin immediately charged at it and collided with the screen, rebounding as if he had hit a wall.

He urged Phoenix, "Hurry up; you aren’t trying to deliberately waste time, waiting for other Black Emperor players to enter, are you?"

Lester also looked sternly at Phoenix, continuously urging him.

If other Black Emperor players entered somewhere else, then even if the insider here was a Black Emperor player, he couldn’t pass through this door.

Phoenix chuckled and rushed at it but didn’t make any progress either.

Gao Xin immediately shouted, "Stop pretending! With your strength, rapidly bringing yourself to a halt is a piece of cake."

"If you dare, then overclock and rush at full speed!"

Phoenix remained silent.

Lester exclaimed, "Stop wasting time; are you going to crash into it or not?"

Gao Xin smiled, "Come on! Let’s do it together!"

With that, he boldly overclocked, and his massive body thundered towards the screen.

Phoenix, having no choice, also had to overclock and follow suit.

Both men collided with the screen at the same time, only to see Gao Xin violently thrown back, even spewing blood from his face.

Blood splattered on the spot for Gao Xin, while Phoenix couldn’t bring himself to a stop, with half of his body entering the screen.

Lester pointed at him, "It is indeed you!"

When Phoenix could no longer hide it, he sneered, "So what? During the ceasefire, combat is forbidden within the stronghold; what can you do to me?"

With that, he simply moved entirely through the screen to join the negotiations.

Gao Xin stood up, casually healed his injuries, and said, "Now Phoenix’s identity is finally confirmed; he is the player of the Black Emperor."

"He had been stalling all this time, trying to wait for other Black Emperor players to join the negotiations so that he would be blocked by the screen."

"However, he dilly-dallied for so long and could still enter... It’s possible that he is the only Black Emperor player!"

Lester walked over to Gao Xin, now highly trusting him.

He nodded, "That’s right, the ratio of Black, White, and Green in the first National Battle should be 1:5:3."

"This guy drew four rounds of cards in the Black Emperor Main City, one round in the White Emperor stronghold, and one round in the Green Emperor stronghold."

"Since it’s confirmed that he is a Black Emperor player, that means he now controls four Hidden Dragon Cards and two random cards,"

Gao Xin smiled in agreement.

That was the might of the Phoenix not playing any cards; in this game, the unseen cards, in the eyes of others, meant everything was possible.

Now that Phoenix had firmly established himself as a Black Emperor player, he would inherently possess the deterrence of holding four Hidden Dragon Cards.

Little did they know, like Gao Xin, his all six rounds were random!

Lester asked, "Tai Sui, right now I only trust you are a Green Emperor player; you were previously with Mandala and Li Fengqing. Who among them do you think is the other Green Emperor player?"

Gao Xin pondered for a moment and affirmed, "It must be Mandala."

He spoke with certainty, not lying in this regard; after all, anyone who took part in these negotiations would find out afterward—it couldn’t be hidden.

It would be better to give Lester some additional information to make him trust him even more.

Lester replied, "Oh? Why are you so sure?"

Gao Xin smiled gently, "It’s simple, I personally saw Mandala confront the Big White Shark."

Lester realized then; if this was true, Mandala definitely wasn’t White, and since everyone knew Mandala had fought with Phoenix, he definitely wasn’t Black either.

"Hmm, but is there a chance that Big White Shark isn’t a White Emperor player?" pondered Lester.

Gao Xin stroked his chin and responded, "There’s a possibility, but it’s slim."

"Definitely White, with Sivina, Yak, and Black Pearl. And those three are likely naturally White."

Lester nodded, Sivina was certain since she had gone to negotiate.

Yak was also certain; in the first three rounds, he played three True Image cards and a True Image card even died inside the White Emperor Main City without triggering a battle.

Black Pearl was also certain; she had been relying on her White identity from the beginning to resist Sivina. If she wasn’t a White Emperor player, there would have been no need for her to flee when Sivina tried to win her over; she could have simply attacked Sivina herself and settled everything, so why would she only dare to damage robots from start to finish?

"Since these three are naturally White, and you, me, and Mandala are naturally White, does that mean Phoenix, Li Fengqing, and Big White Shark are naturally Black?" Lester inquired.

Gao Xin smiled, "Since you’ve identified Mandala as a Green Emperor player, then that must be how it’s divided."

Lester showed a smile, finally clearing up the natural alignment of everyone.

He then said, "It’s still unknown what the result of this negotiation will be... "

Gao Xin decisively stated, "It will definitely be about dividing up the Combat Cards of the White Empire; isn’t that obvious?"

Lester’s eyes lit up, "Exactly, Sivina has already played with us, representing the White Empire in the negotiations; can it be any good for Black Pearl and Big White Shark?"

"Definitely to weaken those two, outright betrayal!"

"And other negotiating players naturally agree; who would reject a benefit that’s handed to them?"

Gao Xin declared, "Exactly, so the cards of Big White Shark and Black Pearl will be divided."

"Even their weapons will be confiscated!"

Lester reflected, this was the terrifying aspect of disunity within an empire; negotiating players betraying would greatly weaken players of the same alignment.

Just as he thought Big White Shark and Black Pearl were finished, these two unexpectedly walked out from the left passage.

Along with Yak, all three arrived at the Green Emperor Main City.

"What are you here for? You can’t fight during the truce," Lester was taken aback.

Black Pearl flashed a spicy smile, "Are we supposed to just wait for the negotiation’s outcome and let ourselves be slaughtered?"

"During this time, couldn’t we also talk?"
