The Age of Giant Ships and Cannons

Fortunately, although they were amazed, they didn't feel any threat, and they didn't think that Li Qing killed him head-on by his own ability.

They guessed that there was a high probability that they would use tricks to sneak attack, or the location, or take advantage of the alien star sea lord's unfavorable state to complete the kill, and it was unlikely to rely on the ability to kill head-on.

This is not the time for them to discuss, the meeting has already started, Xiao Bieli withdrew his amazed gaze, tapped the golden hammer lightly to signal silence, and said in a deep voice:

"This regular meeting of elders has officially started. There are four agenda items. Everyone has half an hour to review and think about it. After half an hour, the agenda will officially start."

A light curtain popped up in front of Li Qing's eyes, and a series of data slid down and emerged.

"The first item on the agenda: In view of the last five resolutions on the joint all-out war with Bruwan, all military masters and lords are required to provide certain war resources to support the front line according to their ranking within the empire."

This agenda has been held every year in the past few years, and it is supported by resources, providing materials according to the level of strength and status.

Those with strong strength and high rank will pay more.

Those with weak strength and low rank pay less.

Li Qing had always been at the bottom of the list of military leaders before, and the total value of supplies required each year was around 1 trillion yuan, of which the mandatory requirement was 1 trillion kilograms of grain, no minerals, and a battleship blueprint equivalent to a standard division.

Food is a war reserve, it is necessary, and the battleship blueprint is for players to exchange.

Although the main force of Total War is the lords of the major armies, the large number of individual players is also a strong force. They may not be able to fight the frontal battlefield, but they can be of great use outside the frontal battlefield.

With the skyrocketing status of Li Qing, the original 100 trillion is definitely not suitable, but his status has suddenly skyrocketed, and his strength has not followed the skyrocketing skyrocketing, and it is impossible to determine according to his current ranking, so...

There is no definite number yet, we have to wait a while and ask Lord Xiao Bieli, who presided over the meeting.

"Second agenda: Someone found the trace of Leviathan [The Eater of Worlds] on the edge of the westernmost spiral arm of the Faust star field at the joint junction between humans and Bruwan, and it was initially observed that it was flying to the middle of the Faust star field direction, asking nearby players to be careful not to provoke the World Eater."

There is an attachment under the agenda, which shows the latest observation results. Although the target direction of [World Devourer] is the middle of the Faust star field, it does not rule out the possibility of turning around, and its specific destination is not clear yet.

In addition, the Eater of Worlds at this time is much larger than when it was discovered last time.

When it was discovered last time, its body had a diameter of more than 300,000 kilometers excluding the tentacles. Now its main body has a diameter of more than 370,000 kilometers. It seems that it has swallowed at least ten living planets.

Judging from the fact that he devours and destroys many living planets every time he appears, he doesn't know which planets will be unlucky.

This agenda has little to do with Li Qing and is unlikely to affect the war.

Although it is an extremely powerful Leviathan, it is nothing compared to an entire civilization. If it dares to enter the battlefield, it will be smashed to pieces by a fleet of hundreds of millions in minutes.

"The third agenda: The United Empire of Man officially launched the [Threat Removal Plan], sending a team of super psykers to infiltrate the Bruwan Union, and prepare to assassinate the four great generals of the Bruwan Union civilization."

Bruvan unites the entire civilization with a total of four generals, who have extremely powerful special abilities just like the generals Cybertron and Cyrus.

Three of the gods will be stationed in the three core fortresses, and the other god will be located in the hinterland of Bruwan.

In order to ensure the superiority of human beings in the all-out war, the Council of Elders decided to send an assassination team composed of super psykers to assassinate, trying to successfully eradicate a general.

Yes, as long as one can be successfully eradicated, the plan is considered a success.

The god general himself is extremely powerful, and he is in a high position, surrounded by many troops. The success rate of the assassination is really not high. This agenda is only one of the preliminary preparations, and no one can say for sure whether it will be successful.

It is worth mentioning that even though Lord Senluo had three major generals under his command at the beginning, he thought that there were many generals. That was because the wars in the early stage of development were too frequent, and several player civilizations were exterminated or expelled, and many powerful indigenous civilizations were exterminated, so In the early days of development, a lot of gods were born.

Since then, there has been no major war for thousands of years, and no new generals have been born in the entire United Human Empire.

And this is mostly relative. In fact, at the peak of human civilization, there were only eleven or twelve generals, and most of them were under the command of the top three lords.

And with the passage of time, some gods will fall one after another, especially Lord Senluo's three independent gods. It is estimated that there are only six or seven gods that still exist in the United Human Empire.

It is also worth mentioning that all Star Sea Lords are not god generals.

Perhaps these bigwigs used to be famous generals and excellent commanders, but after being promoted to Star Sea Lord, their main occupations were changed to rulers. The talent and basic command skills are still there, but the bonus of a main occupation is missing. Not a professional commander.

Therefore, the fourteen human star sea lords, including the number one star sea lord, are not god generals.

"The fourth agenda item: the agenda regarding the formation of the coalition headquarters and the selection of the fleet headquarters of this all-out war."

Four agenda, the fourth agenda is the focus.

Half an hour passed quickly, Lord Xiao Bieli struck with a golden hammer to remind everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"Now start the first agenda. Everyone can continue to pay according to the materials paid in the past. If you have any questions, you can raise objections now."

As soon as the words fell, Lord Fengyun stood up and said:

"Your Excellency Jia Lanling Li Qing has done a great thing and is now ranked fifth. I wonder if he provides supplies according to the ranking?"

Lord Xiao Bieli glanced at each of the two expressionlessly, and said:

"Material contribution is determined based on the combination of ranking and strength. Although His Excellency Li Qing is ranked fifth, his strength has not improved greatly. I discussed with the lords and calculated according to the 50th comprehensive evaluation. After that, the comprehensive ranking will be +5 every year. name until it is on par with the existing ranking.”

He looked at Lord Fengyun, and asked in a deep voice:

"Do you have an opinion?"

Lord Fengyun was silent for a while and sat down.

Lord Xiao Bieli looked at Li Qing again and asked:

"Are you convinced by this arrangement?"

Li Qing immediately nodded and said:

"I have no opinion!"

To improve five rankings in one year is equivalent to a ten-year buffer period, so how could he have any objections.

He turned on the light curtain to check the ranking table, and pulled it to the 50th place. It showed that the 50th place needed to pay about 1500 trillion yuan in supplies every year during the war, including 5 trillion kilograms of food, and the equivalent of a division of warships blueprint.

"By the way, Your Excellency Li Qing, according to the regulations of the Senate, you need to send a fleet to serve in any of the three core fortresses in the tenth year after you are promoted to military leader."

"In view of the fact that a full-scale war is about to take place at this time, you need to send a fleet of at least ten divisions to serve in any core fortress."

Li Qing nodded and said:

"I can do it, but I'm not in the territory now, and it may take about a year."

Xiao Bieli said:

"Don't worry, it's only been nine years since you were promoted to military leader, and you still have one year to prepare, and there's usually a one-year flexible time, you only need to be in place within two years."

After confirming that there was no other problem with the first agenda, Lord Xiao Bieli took advantage of the opportunity to start the second agenda.

There is nothing to say about the second agenda, which is to arrange a fleet to follow the Leviathan World Devourer, and report any changes at any time.

Then the third agenda item [Threat Removal Plan] requires each military leader to send a super psychic, or a high-level combat relic, if there is no super psychic or powerful Combat relics need to give up a division-level fleet to contribute to any of the three core fortresses as compensation.

This Li Qing is not going to send a star negative person, but he doesn't have any powerful combat relics in his hand, so he is going to send out a division-level fleet to contribute to it.

It just so happens that my fleet is about to be replaced soon, with ten fearless divisions a year, and soon the fifth-tier regular fleet will be useless, and it will just be used to offset the debt.

Soon the military leaders finished choosing one by one, and came to the fourth most important agenda, which was about the establishment of the coalition general command and the selection of the fleet command during the all-out war.

That's all for the general headquarters, this must be the stage for the Star Sea Lords, and has nothing to do with him.

However, Li Qing felt that he needed an important position in the headquarters of the Third Route Fleet so that he could coordinate with his plan.

After all, the status is too low to mobilize too little cannon fodder, and then you will need to fill in the cannon fodder yourself.

His Fearless Division is so precious, it's too wasteful to be cannon fodder.

At this time, Lord Xiao Bieli sent out a form about the command of the headquarters and the official positions of the Three Route Army.

There is a commander-in-chief, three deputy commander-in-chiefs, a chief of staff, two deputy chiefs of staff, a chief of logistics, a chief of intelligence, a chief of armaments, and ten group armies at the decision-making level of the United Corps. Composed of commanders, a total of twenty positions.

Let alone the commander-in-chief, he doesn't have to think about coordinating the overall situation, no matter what aspect it is, it is not his turn.

The deputy commander-in-chief is generally in charge of all aspects of the main battlefield battles. There are only three seats, and he also has little chance.

The chief of staff is second only to the commander-in-chief, who is generally responsible for the overall strategic plan, and it is also not his turn.

The deputy chief of staff assists the chief of staff and is responsible for formulating combat plans, but he can fight for it.

The head of the general logistics is in charge of the overall logistics, and this also has no other role.

The Minister of General Intelligence is in charge of intelligence, including enemy intelligence movements, and has no share.

The Minister of General Armament is in charge of replenishment of battleship damage, so it has nothing to do with him.

The last ten group army commanders mean that the Three Route Army will form ten group armies, each of which will lead a group army composed of multiple corps-level fleets, which can be regarded as the real power faction.

If possible, Li Qing would like to get the position of a group army commander.

According to the scale of an all-out war, an army group has at least a hundred division-level fleets, and there may be two or three hundred at most. Such a huge fleet, plus his own strength, is enough to complete that crazy plan alone.

But the premise must be obtained.

This kind of real power position that actually controls the fleet must be fiercely competitive.

At this time Xiao Bieli said:

"Each position can be competed for. Everyone can circle the positions they want to compete for. You can choose more than one, and then indicate your advantages and specialties below. The lords will start reviewing after collecting all the information, and the results will be announced next year. will be announced in due course.”

"Well, not now!"

Li Qing thought for a while, drew a circle on the positions of deputy commander-in-chief and group army commander, and then pondered for a while when annotating below, writing like this:

"I am fortunate to have the allegiance of an ancient god general, and I believe I am qualified for the following positions!"

There are no fancy things, his only advantage is that he has a subordinate.

When the time comes to review, just pull out Cybertron or Cyrus.

This may reveal that he has obtained Lord Sen Luo's inheritance, but is he still afraid of this now?

As the fifth ranked army leader, there is no need to care about this exposure.

After writing the submission materials, the next step is to deal with the small lord's affairs.

It had nothing to do with Li Qing, he was half asleep and half awake for almost two hours, only to hear a crisp sound that woke him up, and he looked up to see Lord Xiao Bieli announcing the end of the elders meeting.

People stood up one after another. Li Qing just stood up when he heard someone calling him from behind, and turned around to see the old patriarch Li Yongcheng coming.

At the same time, he glanced sideways and saw the Lingji Army Lord and Fengyun Army Lord looking at him, and quickly retracted after feeling his gaze.

He ignored it, and greeted the approaching Li Yongcheng with a smile.

The old patriarch looked at him with emotion, and said:

"Child, follow me."

The two opened a private room in Lingxiao Palace, and before they sat down, the old patriarch asked:

"Son, have you used up the destiny points you obtained by sacrificing the star sea lord of the Zenor constellation?"

Li Qing nodded and said:

"used."

"Where is it used?"

"Uh"

Li Qing said with a little apology:

"It's not convenient for me to say."

Li Yongcheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile in silence:

"Then grandpa won't ask you any more, just figure it out yourself."

"By the way, where are you now? If you're still near the Zenor star cluster, you'd better come back as soon as possible. If they find you are still staying in that area, there will definitely be other Star Sea Lords who will come and kill you."

Li Qing nodded and said:

"I'm getting ready to come back."

"Just come back, come back to Qinghe, Grandpa has something to tell you."

"OK, all right."

The old patriarch seemed hesitant to speak, and Li Qing could roughly guess what he wanted to say.

It was nothing more than the fact that he could gain at least ten Mandate Points by beheading an alien star sea lord, which made him so excited because he saw some kind of possibility.

Regarding this, Li Qing expressed that he didn't want to make him too excited, didn't want him to have too much expectation, and didn't want him to interfere with his plan, so he just said it to death.

The old patriarch must be thinking about himself, but he is already old, and his thinking cannot keep up with the changes in his own strength.

Only you know yourself best, only you can control everything accurately, and no one can control him.

Coming out of the Da Luo Tian Palace, the consciousness returned to the fortress.

Li Qing was silent for a while, with a smile on his face.
