Chapter 197: Dragon Country's Movements

Chapter 197: Chapter 196: Dragon Country’s Movements

Inside the office, sunlight spilled across the floor through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the entire space warm and bright.

Lilith curled up in her oversized office chair, her small body almost swallowed by it.

In her hands, she held a glass of crimson liquid—today’s special bloody mary, mixed with the latest batch of high-quality blood from Leah.

She took small sips, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly, a look of enjoyment on her face.

The door was pushed open.

William walked in, holding a stack of documents.

“Leader, news has come from Night Raven.”

Lilith set down her glass and stuck out her pink tongue, lightly licking away the residual blood on her lips.

The action was casual and natural, yet it possessed an indescribable allure.

She lifted her small feet, placed them against the edge of the desk, and gave a light kick—

The swivel chair spun her around, coming to a steady stop in front of William.

“Rare metals?”

Lilith took the documents from William and looked down at them.

It was a dense list, and every batch involved astronomical figures.

Specialized steel, rare alloys, high-purity metals, precision components… Lilith would believe it if someone said these things combined could build several 100,000-ton aircraft carriers.

“What does she want so much metal for?”

William shook his head slightly.

“Night Raven didn’t say, only that it’s useful.”

Lilith stared at the list, a smile slowly curling at the corners of her mouth.

If this were in the past, Apocalypse would never have been able to obtain so many rare metals.

Even with Points, there might not have been enough supply on the market.

But now—

The Sentinel Alliance was an ally of Apocalypse.

At least on the surface.

They controlled most of the wealth and resources left over from America’s old era: military industrial systems, mineral reserves, strategic materials—they had everything.

Since they hadn’t openly turned against each other yet, these resources should naturally be put to good use.

Lilith handed the list back to William.

“Have the Sentinel Alliance trade the steel on this list through the rooms in the Main God Space.”

She paused.

“Tell them Apocalypse has a use for it and can pay with Points.”

Although the Main God Game was currently updating and the Trading Platform was temporarily inaccessible, the rooms purchased by individuals in the Main God Space also had trading functions.

Those top-tier luxury rooms were even equipped with massive warehouses, sufficient to store these materials.

While the Sentinel Alliance might suspect that Apocalypse was planning something big, they would never imagine—

Apocalypse’s big move was targeted directly at them.

In that case, they should utilize as many resources as possible before taking action.

“Yes!”

William took the list and responded respectfully.

Lilith continued to ask.

“Have you roughly gauged the Sentinel Alliance’s strength?”

William nodded and began to report.

“The Sentinel Alliance’s top-tier combat power is indeed higher than our Apocalypse’s.

Besides that Lord Forti on the surface, they also have a large number of SS-rank and S-rank combatants.”

“But—”

He paused, a smile appearing on his lips.

“Most of the combat power is under Forti’s jurisdiction. During this time, Forti has successfully turned a significant portion of the high-level officials. Even a high-ranking general has secretly defected to us.”

“That general holds a nuclear bomb launch code in his hands.”

A glint flashed in Lilith’s eyes.

A nuclear bomb launch code.

This was the truly critical item.

Although she had enough confidence in her own strength, something like a nuclear bomb was best avoided if possible.

With this code, it was equivalent to having a trump card to keep the Sentinel Alliance in check.

“Now we just need to be ready to go. By using military Intimidation and showing Apocalypse’s power, we can completely control the Sentinel Alliance’s upper echelons.”

“As for the various Factions around us, as long as Apocalypse deploys its troops, it won’t take long to conquer them all.”

Lilith nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed Forti had indeed not been idle during his time in the Sentinel Alliance.

“Oh, right, Leader.”

William suddenly remembered something and pulled a separate document from the materials.

“Night Raven also sent over a piece of intelligence regarding the Dragon Country.”

Lilith raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Dragon Country?”

“Yes.”

William handed the document over.

“Dragon Country has begun tightening its grip on the entire East Asian region, preparing to integrate and annex all remaining nations and Factions in Asia.”

“Several surrounding countries have already declared their stance and submitted to Dragon Country.”

Lilith took the document and looked down at it.

Those crimson eyes narrowed slightly.

“Annexing all Asian countries and Factions…”

She murmured softly.

The game Dragon Country was playing was larger than she had imagined.

That guy Luna is certainly no pushover.

Then—

She suddenly thought of something.

“What about Japan?”

She looked up at William.

William was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the leader’s meaning.

There was still something left in Japan.

That Flesh and Blood Corpse King.

When Lilith left Japan, she had the Xenomorph Queen lay a special Xenomorph Embryo.

After this period of incubation, that Corpse King should have completed its preliminary fusion and evolution.

If Dragon Country discovered it…

Plus, the War Pet system was about to be updated—

That Corpse King might very well be taken by Dragon Country.

She couldn’t let her free-roaming pet fall into someone else’s hands.

Lilith placed the document on the desk, and her small body curled in the chair slowly sat up straight.

Her small feet, which had been dangling, were also pulled back and placed on the edge of the chair.

She curled up in the large chair, arms hugging her knees and chin resting on them, looking like an ordinary Little Girl lost in thought.

But the light flickering in those crimson eyes betrayed what she was actually thinking about.

A moment later, she spoke.

“I’ll leave Apocalypse to you and Leah to manage for now.”

William bowed slightly.

“You can directly command the Xenomorph Queen. If there’s anything you need, let it handle it.”

“Yes.”

Lilith paused and continued.

“Once you’ve finished gathering information on the Sentinel Alliance, have Night Raven collect news about Europe.”

“Especially—”

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

“Britain.”

William’s brow twitched slightly.

Britain.

That was Lilith’s territory.

He had heard of that woman who had plotted against the leader in the Resident Evil dungeon and then retreated dejectedly from Tokyo.

“After the next dungeon ends.”

Lilith’s voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable dominance.

“The European sector must also be incorporated into Apocalypse.”

William took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

“Understood!”

Lilith stood up from the chair.

Barefoot, she walked to the window and looked out at the distant sky.

A moment later—

She turned around and stepped on William’s shoulder!

Her tiny foot tapped lightly on William’s broad shoulder, using the leverage to leap up!

Behind her, silver-white dragon wings instantly unfurled!

“I’m off.”

A youthful voice came from the air.

In the next instant, that petite figure turned into a white stream of light, shooting towards the distance!

The target—

Japan.

William stood in place, watching the figure disappear into the horizon, his mouth twitching slightly.

When would the leader ever change her habit of using people as a springboard to take off?

However…

He turned around and picked up the list, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Sentinel Alliance.

Britain.

Dragon Country.

Asia. Europe. America.

The flag of Apocalypse will eventually be planted all over the world.

He took a deep breath and strode out of the office.

There were still many things to be done.
