I'm the one running the game

"Gato, the beast of the Aore Empire, right?" Lu Xingshi held up the Shield of the Earth King and used fighting skills to clear out the guards around Gato without hurting him. It was easy.

He asked this question casually. In fact, Lu Xingshi knew a thing or two about Gato's appearance.

He looked like a frustrated middle-aged man, and he was a beast of the Empire that people feared on the battlefield.

The other party climbed up from the bottom, so he naturally didn't look handsome. He actually looked very ordinary.

"It's me, Earl Lanton's bravery, even the strongest knight in the empire is not as good as it." Gato complimented.

He was actually relieved in his heart. Lu Xingshi didn't kill him at the first time, which meant that everything could be discussed.

"Brave? No, no, no, you got one thing wrong. If it weren't for the Aore Empire invading the Kingdom of Voss, I would just be a small earl in a marginal area." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

It means you guys came to provoke me first, otherwise he is just a law-abiding person.

"It's different, Earl Lanton, you are a great knight, a real great knight." Cato repeated the word great knight, and emphasized the word "real".

Lv Xingshi's earth power does have the characteristics of fighting spirit, and it is not a big deal to be recognized by others.

Cato is a general of the empire. Even if he has never seen fighting spirit, he has seen the description in the book.

"Luck is nothing." Lv Xingshi said calmly.

"This can't be explained by good luck." Cato knew that this was just Lv Xingshi's modesty: "But I am still confused. The great knight seems to be unable to do this."

"If it is a champion knight, but you don't have the courage?"

According to the description in the book, the former great knights could not do the level of Lv Xingshi's one-man army, and even the champion knights could not destroy 50,000 steam soldiers so easily.

So Lv Xingshi's power looks very strange in Cato's eyes, like a person who has the power of a kingdom knight at the great knight stage.

However, this is even more incredible.

After condensing the seeds of life, they can no longer improve. You can not only improve, but also obtain power that is not suitable for yourself.

This matter will inevitably form a storm next.

Because even in the kingdom, there will be one or two great knights who are canonized, and there are even more in the Aore Empire, with nearly a hundred.

But correspondingly, the value will drop as the number increases, especially when there are only a hundred enemies, which is not very useful for the empire.

This hundred enemies refers to ordinary people. If they are replaced with extraordinary soldiers of the quality of steam soldiers, ten people can win.

"This is my own secret, and it is not very convenient to share it with General Gato."

"I fought hard to get here, and the idea is very simple. I want to invite General Gato to visit my territory." Lu Xingshi euphemistically means that you are now a prisoner.

Cato was not surprised at all, but was refreshed: "Of course, it's my honor."

"And the empire's special envoy will come to you soon, Lord Earl. I hope you can settle the remaining steam soldiers. They are innocent."

Lv Xingshi's two words just now made Cato understand one thing, that Lu Xingshi was willing to negotiate with the Aore Empire.

Otherwise, he would not have directly considered his face and invited you to be a guest, but directly said that you were captured.

"Of course, but I hope the empire's envoy will be faster. My territory is not rich."

"And it's winter now, I can't entertain you for too long." Lu Xingshi agreed, but gave a time limit.

It's just that he didn't tell them the time limit accurately, which was considered to leave the initiative to himself.

At the same time, he warned them that you'd better hurry up, otherwise he would start a massacre.

"Count Lanton, please rest assured that the empire's envoy will arrive in three days at the latest." Cato estimated that if the empire paid enough attention, it would definitely arrive within three days.

The steam engine brings more than just steam soldiers and steam weapons, but also the help of steam machinery.

"Then let's go, General Cato. I hope we can get along harmoniously in the next three days."

"Although my castle is not big, it is not a problem for you to live with General Cato." Lu Xingshi said, and several moonlight werewolves rushed in, ready to escort Cato back.

As for the aftermath of the battlefield, Lu Xingshi didn't need to worry about it. Naturally, someone would deal with these steam soldiers from the Aore Empire.

Taking advantage of this time, Cato observed the living moonlight werewolves at close range, and his expression couldn't help but like them more and more.

'The training technology of moonlight werewolves must be obtained. '

'Just the two abilities of not being afraid and not fearing death are enough to make the military strength of the entire empire change qualitatively. '

This means that morale will never be low and collapse.

Lu Xingshi noticed the other party's eyes, but smiled.

"General Cato likes moonlight werewolves very much?" Lu Xingshi asked casually. Of course, he knew that even if he wanted to negotiate next, his lowest standard was to use the technology of moonlight werewolves as a token of surrender.

Then he could put forward his own requirements.

As for the Kingdom of Voss itself, it has become such a mess, and the Aore Empire can actually do without it.

"Yes, how did they train them?" Cato asked tentatively.

"It's very simple, have you heard of the werewolf curse?" Lu Xingshi asked back.

Cato looked puzzled, obviously he had never heard of it. The werewolf curse seemed to be only circulated in a small area.

"Is it related to the winter wolf in the Everfrost Mountains?" The keyword wolf that Cato could think of plus the Kingdom of Voss, only the winter wolf.

"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with the winter wolf."

"This is a curse from another god, and one of the cursed happened to come to my territory, so the moonlight werewolf was born." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

He told Cato this, of course, deliberately leaked it.

In order to let the Aole Empire further investigate the werewolf curse. With the national strength of the Aole Empire, the probability of finding out that the werewolf curse came from the God of the Moon and Beasts is not low.

As for the other party copying it? Just think about it.

The mass-energy equation E=mc, most people know that nuclear bombs are related to this, but how many people can use it?

If the Moonlight Werewolf's skills were fully deduced by the other party in just a few sentences, then the other party would not need Lu Xingshi's information, and could decipher it by themselves after capturing the Moonlight Werewolf.

So those who know it don't need it, and those who don't know it will be confused even if Lu Xingshi tells him the origin of the Moonlight Werewolf.

"The curse of the gods?" Cato looked strange, he didn't expect that the Moonlight Werewolf could have such an origin.

It's unlikely to be a lie, because there's not much need.

"Yes, it is the curse of the gods." Lu Xingshi repeated it affirmatively, and then asked: "I heard that the steam soldiers of the Orei Empire came from the steam engine."

"I want to know, what exactly is a steam engine?"

Cato heard Lu Xingshi's question, his face did not change, and he said directly: "A steam engine is a boiler that makes water boil and produces high-pressure steam."

"The steam expands and pushes the piston, and energy is born."

For Cato's explanation, Lu Xingshi smiled: "Of course I know this, it's a very simple principle."

"But obviously, this is only part of it, not all."

It's not like Lu Xingshi hasn't dissected steam soldiers. The principle is indeed this principle, but the steam soldiers can have extraordinary powers, but not only that.

Cato didn't lie, he just concealed part of it.

"Earl Lanton guessed right, there is indeed more than that." Cato smiled back: "Just like the moonlight werewolves under the earl, they don't just use the werewolf curse."

Cato didn't know much about the birth of steam soldiers.

He had only visited the birth of steam soldiers, and only had a general understanding of the principle. Only the steam experts in the empire knew everything.

As a general, winning battles is the standard for measuring ability.

So he didn't need to know how steam soldiers were born, as long as he could lead them to victory.

When Lu Xingshi heard the other party's answer, he didn't get angry. They were just testing each other, and everyone was giving and taking.

If you really want to get something out of the other party's mouth, it's a bit redundant.

People can fight, but it doesn't mean they can only fight.

"It seems that Earl Lanton is very interested in the steam soldiers of the empire." Cato further said.

"Yes, just like General Cato is interested in my moonlight werewolf." Lu Xingshi's words were like saying it clearly, that is, he also wanted the technology of steam soldiers.

"Earl Lanton's love for steam soldiers is their honor." Cato complimented him in return, mainly because he really had nothing to say.

As Lu Xingshi was about to make it clear, there was no point in saying anything, and there was no point in changing the subject.

Cato was thinking about how to gain the upper hand in the next negotiations and transactions.

The main conflict was that the training method of steam soldiers would definitely not be given to Lu Xingshi, but the empire wanted Lu Xingshi's training method of moonlight werewolves.

Then the question was, Lu Xingshi would definitely not agree to such an unfair transaction.

With the result of his defeat, the overall layout and grand strategy of the empire would definitely be affected, and it would be powerless to fight again.

If the negotiations failed, then the attitude towards Lu Xingshi would only be cold treatment, and then economic sanctions would be used to suppress him, and it would be impossible to fight in the short term.

Even if he wanted to fight, he couldn't do it. This time the blow was not small, especially with 50,000 steam soldiers planted in at one time. If there were only 10,000, there would be room for maneuver.

So in order to make Lu Xingshi give up steam soldiers, the empire must pay a big price as compensation.

But there is a premise, that is, Lu Xingshi's emphasis on steam soldiers is limited, not extreme desire.
