Arriving at Ned's office again, Allen glanced around. It was obvious that it was much more spacious than the last time he saw it. That was because a lot of equipment had been emptied. In the office of a dignified base manager, there were only tables, chairs, battle boards, and a few filing cabinets left. It was extremely simple and crude.
Ned smiled and said, "After the previous battle, a lot of equipment was damaged or needed to be repaired. I took out everything that I didn't need and gave it to the other departments first, which made it much more spacious. "
"I'm sorry, I didn't make it in time for that battle."
"It doesn't matter. Besides, didn't you have some personal grudges with Major General Catherine at that time?" Ned said, "Mr. Reiner thought you wouldn't come back and challenged Major General by name. It really scared me. How could such a thing happen to a small place like Castellan Rock Base? I'm not afraid Mr. Allen will laugh at me for being timid. If anything happens to Mr. Reiner or General Catherine, my days as the base manager will come to an end. "
Allen couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he heard Reina challenge Catherine. Fortunately, Ned was talking about other things and didn't notice Allen's abnormality. Allen coughed dryly and interrupted Ned. He put his backpack on the table and patted it. "On the way back this time, I hunted something by the way," he said. "It's probably impossible to exchange for military merits, but I'd like to ask Lieutenant Colonel to see if the Federation is willing to buy them."
"Let me see." Ned said straightforwardly that the hunting squad would occasionally encounter some powerful wild beasts when they were on missions outside. After killing them, they often had to recover some valuable parts of these powerful creatures, such as heart cores. These things could not be exchanged for military merits, but they could be sold to the Federation or sold privately to people in need for cash.
Almost every hunting team had their own way of earning money during the mission. Retrieving the core was just one of them. There were even some greedy teams that specialized in robbery, such as the freelance hunters Allen had encountered before. Of course, those who dared to do such a thing had to be strong, and their hands and feet had to be clean. Otherwise, if someone found out about it, it would be a small matter if their reputation fell. What was more, the family behind the victim might be very powerful, and the consequences would not be something that a mere hunting group could bear.
That night, the freelance hunter learned that Allen was from Bescot. The reason why he wanted to kill him was because he was afraid that Bescot would take revenge on him. Unfortunately, they picked the wrong opponent, and were basically wiped out by Allen.
Allen opened his backpack and took out a crystal thorn. Ned fiddled with it carefully and took out an instrument to test the Origin Energy content in the crystal thorn. Finally, he said happily, "Mr. Allen, this is a good thing. How many things like this do you have?"
"Not much." Allen smiled as he took out all of the crystal thorns from his backpack and neatly arranged them on the table. "There are only twenty of them."
"Twenty!" Ned widened his eyes.
Without giving him a chance to breathe, Allen took out the core of the Crystal Python from his backpack. When the lavender heart core was placed on the table, the entire office was covered in a layer of purple light. Looking at the heart core that was the size of a rugby ball and wrapped in dark purple crystal threads, Ned's eyes almost fell out. He was shocked and cried out, "Heavens, what did you suddenly kill? How could you have such a large core with such a high concentration of Origin Energy?"
"That thing doesn't seem to be recorded in the Federation's information." Allen roughly described the appearance of the Crystal Thorn Python.
Ned was dumbfounded. After a moment, he said, "Sure enough, no matter how small Frost is, it's still a planet. Although we control some areas, we don't have all the information about life on this planet. Mr. Allen, your goods are extremely valuable. Just like I said before, Castellan Rock Base is too small. I don't have the qualifications to accept such high-end goods. I need to ask Lin Yuan Stronghold for instructions. However, I guarantee that they will not refuse these extremely dense crystal thorns and heart cores. Even if the Federation doesn't need it, I have a way to sell it for you. However, the price is not as high as the Federation's. "
"Alright, then I'll leave them to you, Lieutenant Colonel Ned."
Ned licked his lips and said, "One thing I need to explain first is that whether it's the Federation or someone else, a certain fee will be deducted. The limit is about 5% to 7% of the total price. "
Allen nodded, "I'll give you 10%, but the payment has to be settled in one lump sum."
"No problem!" Ned said excitedly. Inside the so-called processing fee. Ned could get at least two percent of the commission, especially if he sold to other merchants, he could even get one percent more. Now that Allen had generously offered 10%, the difference would naturally go into the Lieutenant Colonel's pocket. Although he didn't know the exact value of this batch of goods, it could be sold for at least 20 million yuan.
In other words, Ned could get a million yuan commission just by selling this batch of goods for Allen. One had to know that the annual salary of a Lieutenant Colonel in the Federation was far from that much money. Of course, Allen knew this. His generosity was only to pave the way for what would happen next. Seeing Ned quickly put away the crystal thorns and heart cores, Allen took out his identity token and placed it on the table.
Ned immediately understood, "You want to exchange for military merits?"
Allen nodded and said, "I have a piece of information that I can provide to the Federation. I wonder what level of military merits I can exchange for?"
"What information? Tell me."
"First, please remember this coordinate." Allen reported the location of the Chaos Canyon and said, "This coordinate is near the Chaos Canyon. I accidentally discovered that the Catus were hiding in this canyon and seemed to be setting up something." Also, I found a strange mothership. I'm sure it doesn't belong to the Catus. So I suspect that there are other aliens involved in this war. As for the specific information, Lieutenant Colonel can find it from the records of the token. But before sending it to the General Staff Headquarters, there are some records I would like to ask Lieutenant Colonel to delete. "
Ned was stunned and asked casually, "Delete the record? What's the reason? "
Allen looked around with a solemn expression. Ned immediately discussed, personally closed the automatic door of the office, and pressed a set of passwords. Then he said, "Alright, there are only the two of us here now. All communication devices have been cut off, and I guarantee that no third person will hear this conversation. "
"Then I'm relieved." Allen smiled bitterly and said, "The situation is not good, Lieutenant Colonel. You know why I'm in the Chaos Canyon. Because I met a convoy that went to Chaos Canyon to sell Shadow Star Diamonds, Valley Blue Steel, and so on to the Catus in exchange for Abyss Crystals. Yes, it was humans who traded with the Catus, and they were soldiers of the Federation. The person in charge of the convoy was a colonel named Bula, and the members of the convoy came from various legions. The situation is extremely complicated. "
He pointed at the token again. "You can take a look at the records inside and know that I'm telling the truth."
Ned was shocked. He had a hard time digesting the news that Allen had brought him before he smiled bitterly and said, "I believe you, Mr. Allen. Sure enough, there are some people who ignore the bottom line and actually make deals with the chaotic races. Damn it, you're right. These records have to be deleted. Otherwise, if they are handed over to the General Staff Headquarters, once the news is leaked, both you and I will lose our heads. "
Of course, Ned wasn't stupid. Allen had revealed enough. To be able to transfer soldiers and officers from the various legions for his own use, that person's position in the Federation would only be high or low. He couldn't afford to offend any of the names that Ned wanted. Perhaps the other party would be afraid of Allen, who came from Bescot, but he definitely wouldn't care about a little lieutenant colonel without much background. Ned could imagine what would happen to him if he was exposed.
"I know what to do. Don't worry, Mr. Allen, I will carefully screen the records here. I promise that the General Staff Headquarters will see a record without any strange information. "
"Speaking of which, when Lieutenant Colonel deletes the record, delete the part related to General Katherine as well. I don't think the general wants too many people to know, do you think? "
Ned smiled bitterly, "Of course."
"Then I won't disturb Lieutenant Colonel."
Walking out of the office, Reina was leaning against the outer wall. Seeing Allen, he snorted, "You've disappeared long enough."
"I'm also quite helpless." Allen spread out his hands and said, "It's been hard on you during your absence."
"It's good that you know. Now I'll return those guys to you. I've already accepted an exploration mission. I'll be out in the afternoon. "Reina straightened his body and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I heard that you've challenged Catherine?"
Reina looked at him and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not doing it for you. It's just that as a member of Bescot, I have an obligation to maintain the honor of the family. "
"Anyway, thank you for everything you've done. Also, I suggest you give up the exploration mission. "Allen said in a deep voice," If nothing unexpected happens, we'll soon launch a counterattack. It's not a local war, it's a general attack! "
"General attack?" Reina looked at him seriously. "You really brought back incredible news."
"Sort of, I think. You probably want to beat the Catus' butt more than a boring exploration mission? "
"No, no, I want to smash the Grai's head more than that. It would be even better if it was the Dark Titan. "Reina waved his hand and left with excitement.
When he arrived outside the command building, the sun was shining brightly. Allen raised his head. The clouds in the sky seemed to be a little thinner today. He could vaguely see the fireballs hanging in the sky, as well as the outlines of the planets outside the sky. Allen searched for the shadow of the Garden of Eden, but he could not find the central battlefield among the planets. There, the war between Adahua Planet and the Yordon outsiders was already in full swing, and the Federation army had also begun to enter the battlefield. It would be a dangerous land of peak fire, but just as Reina was looking forward to the general attack that would soon arrive, Allen was also looking forward to setting foot on the peak fire battlefield.
