The King of Special Warfare Chapter 448 - Date of Death · Unapproved and Unforgiven

Before His Majesty, Chaos asked His Highness to forgive him.

The position of the Vatican was made perfectly clear in a single action.

It should have taken a lot of talking.

But w.a.n.g Tianzong came quickly.

So on such an occasion, it became a thing that could be achieved by one sentence.

Li Tianlan was not a fool.

Neither was w.a.n.g Tianzong.

No one was a fool.

So the people present instantly understood what the Vatican wanted to express.

w.a.n.g Tianzong narrowed his eyes slowly, looking as calm as ever.

Li Tianlan was absorbed in thought. He looked at Chaos, who stooped almost to the ground, calmly.

Jiang Qiannian.

Black Ghost.

Chaos.

Among three experts on the Holy List, two of them lay dead in front of him and one bowed before him on the same day.

This action not only represented the Vatican’s position but also concerned Li Tianlan’s future interests.

Even a single bow Chaos made in front of him was enough to raise his prestige.

Chaos was the chief of Knights Templars.

Knights Templars as a whole was the spokesperson of the Vatican in the Dark World.

It was self-evident how n.o.ble Chaos was.

Li Tianlan didn’t speak but glanced at Angel slightly.

Angel stood quietly, and the night wind made her white veil flutter. The Holy Virgin behind the white veil seemed to smile, and her voice grew softer. “Knights Templars and the Vatican can make a joint statement to emphasize our friends.h.i.+p with the Snowdance Corps, Zhongzhou State, and Arctic Ocean Command. Knights Templars can apologize to Zhongzhou State. Your Highness, I am here to a.s.sure you, on behalf of the Vatican, that the Vatican and Knights Templars will be your most reliable friends as long as you’re in Eastern Europe.”

Li Tianlan didn’t care about friends.

He didn’t even care if the other party was reliable, because everybody knew it was bulls.h.i.+t.

…

What he cared about was the huge impact of the alliance between the Snowdance Corps and the Vatican in a short time.

Wulan State was extremely important to him.

If he could control the five Eastern European countries around Wulan State, he would have almost a third of Eastern European forces under his control.

That feat meant so much in Zhongzhou State.

Eastern Europe was big.

So when Eastern Europe was in chaos, everyone wanted to have a finger in the pie.

But there were not many lunatics who must take all of Eastern Europe under control.

With the five Eastern European countries near Wulan State, Li Tianlan was tantamount to controlling a bridge from Eastern Europe to Western Europe.

To this extent, Zhongzhou State was already arguably one of the winners of the chaos in Eastern Europe.

Li Tianlan would be much more relaxed next. He would be able to attack while advancing and defend while retreating. With such advantages, he could never withdraw from here because of the so-called thanks from w.a.n.g Tianzong.

But he needed strength to achieve that.

Baiyu State’s Qin Clan could be considered his strength.

If he could make an alliance with the Vatican, his strength would increase.

It could be said to be the sincerity given by the Vatican.

But no sincerity could be given unconditionally.

Li Tianlan confessed that as a young man who hadn’t entered the Invincible Realm, he could not afford a bow from the chief of Knights Templars.

The Vatican would certainly take as much as it gave.

But that was not the most important thing.

What mattered was that he had a lot to talk to the Vatican.

Qin Xilai pulled the sleeve of Li Tianlan calmly.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was here.

KingTong was here.

Angel was here.

All of them were acquaintances.

Standing here, Qin Xilai felt really embarra.s.sed.

Li Tianlan nodded slightly, looked at Chaos, and calmly said, “Knights Templars and the Jiang family of South America jointly attacked the Zhongzhou State Garrison Base. Forgiveness? How can I forgive you?”

He was now the marshal of Zhongzhou State.

So he couldn’t mention Samsara Palace on the surface.

Chaos stooped, without getting up or responding.

“The vice marshal of Holy Disarmament Corps who came with me has gone to track down Jiang Qiansong. If there is a chance, Vice Marshal Mellad will kill Jiang Qiansong. This is the sincerity of the Vatican and Knights Templars,” said Angel, in a calm, elegant voice.

…

Li Tianlan smiled and remained silent for a long time.

Chaos still kept the posture that had been somewhat humiliating to him, as if he had become a statue.

No one knew how long it took before Li Tianlan said slowly, “Stand up.”

…

During the whole process, he did not look at w.a.n.g Tianzong, nor did he solicit the opinion of the Zhongzhou State Sword Emperor.

“Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Highness.”

Angel smiled softly. When the veil fluttered, she was indescribably beautiful and striking.

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked around. His eyes rested on KingTong for a while, and then he burst into laughter.

“Tianlan, when can you represent Zhongzhou State?” w.a.n.g Tianzong asked softly.

…

Li Tianlan glanced at him. “If I remember correctly, Your Majesty recommended me to lead the army north. I could represent Zhongzhou State the minute the meeting was over.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong nodded. “You can indeed handle some things on behalf of Zhongzhou State, but that doesn’t mean you have carte Blanche. The relations.h.i.+p between Zhongzhou State and the Vatican is about national policy. It’s not just an Eastern European affair. How can you make a decision alone?”

Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong. His voice was soft and calm. “I will report this to the Hidden Dragon Sea and Decision Making Committee. I think they will agree with my approach. I will not bother you, Your Majesty.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong was silent for a moment.

His eyes were suddenly as deep as the sea.

Li Tianlan looked at him quietly.

The invisible pressure shrouded him constantly.

Li Tianlan’s expression was calm, but the sweat on his back was getting more and more. It penetrated into the wounds and stung.

No one knew how long it took before w.a.n.g Tianzong began to speak. His voice was neither urgent nor slow and seemed to be the same as before, but Li Tianlan was keenly aware of something in his tone.

There was something in his tone that he had not yet been able to capture.

“They may agree. Zhongzhou State may agree.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong calmly said, “But…”

He paused and then added, “I don’t agree, as the Sword Emperor.”

In a split second, everyone’s heart sank.

w.a.n.g Tianzong was the Zhongzhou State Sword Emperor and had the right to call himself emperor.

But over the years, he rarely used the word.

Only a few people knew that every time he used the word, his emotions had risen to a certain level.

It might be anger, exclamation, self-deprecation, or something else.

But the word in his mouth represented only one emotion.

That was determination.

Li Tianlan finally realized what the subtlety in w.a.n.g Tianzong’s tone was that he couldn’t capture.

That was majesty.

Real, supreme, irresistible majesty.

This feeling was very weak, but when it welled up, it was like a raging and roaring sea, with a kind of power to destroy everything.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes fell on Chaos.

Chaos had stood up.

But suddenly, he couldn’t look straight into w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes.

The wind was calm, the night was dark, the moonlight was cold, and the stars were scarce.

The body of Chaos began to tremble for no reason.

He was the most faithful knight in the Vatican.

That was why he became the chief of Knights Templars.

He was an Invincible Realm expert at the forefront of the Holy List.

That was why he became the Vatican’s spokesperson in the Dark World.

But at this moment, w.a.n.g Tianzong’s gaze suddenly fell on him with boundless cold.

He didn’t know what had happened.

But he instinctively felt the fear.

Fear became his only emotion.

“It is true that you launched an attack against the Zhongzhou State garrison with the Jiang family of South America. Facts cannot be changed by statements, nor can they be made up by sincerity.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong said flatly, “Sin is sin.

“Zhongzhou State can forgive you. Marshal Li can forgive you.

“But…

“I won’t forgive you!”

The moonlight all over the sky seemed to dim for a moment.

The light converged to the sky.

But the cold moon in the sky was getting brighter.

Light and darkness seemed to alternate for a moment.

There was a breeze in front of w.a.n.g Tianzong.

The breeze came from afar and fell from a high place.

It blew through the dust of the ruins, the dry gra.s.s, the night sky, and Chaos.

Silent.

The body of Chaos was suddenly stiff in place.

He stared at w.a.n.g Tianzong attentively with only terror in his eyes.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s eyes were calm and indifferent.

The wind grew stronger, with a chill icy enough to penetrate the marrow.

In the eyes of everyone, the body of Chaos began to break down silently.

Clothes, weapons, armor, flesh, internal organs, and bones.

They all broke into ashes.

The dust rose with the wind and was blown far away.

Chaos disappeared.

There was no blood or sword intent fluctuation around, and even the hay at his feet was intact.

It was as if he had never been here at all. He turned into dust and vanished without a sound.

Qin Xilai’s face changed dramatically.

Angel’s body was completely stretched, and she opened her mouth subconsciously, “You…”

“Puff!”

A mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth as she spoke, dyed red her white veil.

Several of the warriors following her took a step forward in their fury.

There seemed to be nothing in the air.

However, the bodies of the several warriors seemed to have collided with countless swords. A great deal of spurting flesh and blood had been blown to ashes by the breeze before falling to the ground.

w.a.n.g Tianzong suddenly glanced at Qin Xilai and asked, “Are you familiar with that?”

…

Qin Xilai’s eyes were bitter, but he could not speak.

The sword intent that filled the s.p.a.ce silently enveloped the whole mountain area.

Qin Xilai couldn’t speak or blink now. In this state, he would be seriously injured by the sword intent if he spoke.

If he acted rashly, he would end up like those warriors.

Turning Everything into Ashes.

It was almost at the peak of Turning Everything into Ashes!

Only Li Tianlan could not feel the surrounding sword intent.

w.a.n.g Tianzong’s sword intent completely bypa.s.sed Li Tianlan, without bringing him any threat.

Not because of his strength.

It was because he was the marshal of the Zhongzhou State Snowdance Corps.

Li Tianlan held the Falling Stars tightly, and the muzzle he put straight into KingTong’s mouth kept coming forward.

He looked at w.a.n.g Tianzong, his eyes full of indifference.

“Drop the gun.”

w.a.n.g Tianzong slowly said, “The matter of Wulan State will be discussed later. But I want to take KingTong away.”

Li Tianlan took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness in his heart, asking calmly, “Why?”

“Zhongzhou State and Rothschild have always had a lot of cooperation. Working with Rothschild to occupy Wulan State would be the best result for Zhongzhou State, unless you want to face the situation where Western European countries joined forces more than two decades ago. At the height of its power, the Li family had to compromise. Do you think you can turn the tables?”

w.a.n.g Tianzong looked at Li Tianlan and said in a simple tone, “Let go of her.”

“Why?”

Li Tianlan’s tone was calm and almost vacant. His voice didn’t fluctuate at all, even though the emotion inside him had reached its climax.

“Zhongzhou State has cooperation with Rothschild. But it does not mean that Rothschild and Shadow Throne can threaten the marshal of Zhongzhou State.”

Li Tianlan laughed suddenly.

His eyes were s.h.i.+ning, and there was determination in them.

“I’d like to borrow a sentence from Your Majesty.”

“Now KingTong is in my hand, and I don’t want to let her go, so even if the entire Zhongzhou State allows you to take her away.

“I don’t agree, as the marshal!”

His grip on the gun became incomparably steady.

With KingTong’s eyes suddenly wide open, he pressed his finger gently down and pulled the trigger.

The trigger fell off.

But there was no gunshot.

All the power was concentrated on the finger by Li Tianlan.

But the trigger wouldn’t go down no matter what.

An immense amount of silver light glistened, but the silent sword intent completely isolated the silver light.

The silver light glittered, but it couldn’t converge.

The sword intent was all-encompa.s.sing, and it almost solidified all of Li Tianlan’s actions in an instant.

w.a.n.g Tianzong slowly moved forward, holding the muzzle of the Falling Stars.

The muzzle of the gun was drawn from KingTong’s mouth by him bit by bit.

Li Tianlan was motionless.

He couldn’t even move a finger.

w.a.n.g Tianzong touched KingTong’s hair and took her hand.

He looked at Li Tianlan and said calmly, “You have the right and the qualification to disagree. But here I am, and I forbid you to shoot. How do you shoot?”
