Pretending To Be A Boss

```

"For these days, the Sanctuary Fortress has forbidden anyone from entering. The minerals mined from the pit should suffice for several years. From now on, the Sanctuary Fortress will be completely sealed off, along with the doors to the teleportation rift.

Anyone entering through a portable teleportation rift must undergo strict scrutiny."

"Why?"

"The human heart changes over twenty years; I've become more human, while some have become less so."

"Since when did you start speaking so cryptically?"

"Calls are expensive, I'm hanging up."

Tang Xian hung up the phone.

At this moment, on the TV screen, Li Wanye's speech was still ongoing.

Having lived in several worlds, Tang Xian concluded that in the mining areas, fighting against countless beasts relied on sheer martial force, with strategy only working against weaker creatures.

He, along with his fox, dragon, and the evolved Bai snake were enough to deal with current troubles in the mining areas.

But the Human World was different.

At least he couldn't kill people as neatly and cleanly as he could kill the beasts.

Violence can naturally solve all problems, but the key is how to minimize the sacrifice and bloodshed.

So, fighting against people is ultimately a battle of wits.

After Li Wanye exposed Tang Xian's background, a multitude of topics quickly emerged on internet forums around the world.

These topics were naturally all related to the Eden Magi-Child.

Especially since Li Wanye mentioned that the Eden Magi-Child was still somewhere inside a fortress, all Pyramid residents started to panic.

The real world fears the superpowered.

Those accustomed to their exceptional gifts easily ostracize beings that threaten their status.

The Dragon Assault incident and the battles on the Yuepela Plains showed that the Eden Magi-Child possessed the power to single-handedly crush the Human World's gifted individuals and even the allied forces.

Such an existence naturally caused the panic to keep spreading.

The Pyramid residents' panic allowed Li Wanye to propose a very bold plan.

"I know everyone must be very afraid of the existence of the Eden Magi-Child, but these days, the Li family has been preparing for this.

Without inciting panic, we have begun to hire a large number of weapons capable of combating the Eden Magi-Child—the Judgment Knights.

We have transported them to fortresses all over the world. Their presence will safeguard our security.

But even these Judgment Knights are not enough! We are facing an apocalyptic-level creature that can move freely between the mining areas and the Human World, a challenge humanity has never seen before.

We need a larger number of Judgment Knights, and here, I also call on the people from the lower strata to eagerly enlist as Judgment Knights.

You are the subjects most valued by our lords, and even without gifts, we still have ways for you to realize your own value.

Become Judgment Knights, protect your loved ones, your fortresses, and the future of humanity."

As Tang Xian expected, after the panic, there were more reasonable excuses to increase the scale of the Judgment Knights' production.

Ants can bite an elephant to death; both Xiao Jiu and Tang Feiji had confirmed the rays of the Judgment Knights posed a great threat to the beasts.

If the whole world were filled with Judgment Knights, this mechanical kingdom would indeed be more dangerous to him than the mining areas.

This was also beneficial to Siren.

As a master of soldiers, one naturally wouldn't complain about having too many troops.

Tang Xian remained calm, his ring finger trembling slightly, thinking to himself that Li Wanye's first plan was to expose him, and this plan was in service of the second plan.

The second plan was to expand his own military force, which was also in service to the third plan.

After receiving a response, Li Wanye quickly moved on to the third matter, the most transformative one.

"As humans, as a race that survived the apocalyptic civilization but received divine intervention, we have always been too self-contained.

If we had been united in the past few hundred years, why would we only have uncovered so little revelation until now?

The Li family was also lucky this year to have just opened up the eighth level of the Pyramid. In this level, we came to know some secrets of this world.

As the originators of the great catastrophe, once destroying human civilization, if we remain as insular as before in the face of the Eden Magi-Child, what awaits us may very well be another catastrophe.

This time he brought a dragon to our homeland, who knows if next time he will bring even more beasts?"

Tang Xian had to admit, whether it was Siren or Li Wanye, this attitude of speaking from a commanding height was very compelling.

The Li family has always had a very good reputation in the various fortresses.

This speech indeed also portrayed the current situation of humanity—not unified enough.

Li Wanye continued:

"It's unrealistic for the Pyramid to raise its level across the board in a short period of time.

And the existing Pyramid is enough for us to live in.

But we need more information. In the face of the Eden Magi-Child, in the face of the recent crushing defeat by the mining area beasts, we need to enter the ninth layer, the tenth layer, and even higher levels.

In the higher levels, there are surely the answers and redemption we need.

The guidance of the Orderers will lead us out of suffering!"

The world is in jubilation.

Although all the powerholders of the fortresses have a premonition that Li Wanye's words imply some sort of power grab.

It seems to be laying the groundwork for some event.

But for those Pyramid dwellers unrelated to power, how could they refuse to see hope in times of panic?"
