After scolding Bader, Han Xiaoxin felt much better.
Now, he was also the special consultant of the federation and the church in name, but the grudges from before had not disappeared. He had only suppressed them in his heart. This was the first time he had been rude to the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations, and it felt pretty good.
Seeing this, Uranril took over and said with a serious expression, "Black Star, this is very important. I hope you can put forward a proposal in the association."
Han Xiao was a little more reserved when dealing with the Dynasty Ruler, but he still did not give in. He said, "The development union shouldn't be biased. If we act according to your request, your direct members will take action first. Should we stop them? If we do, will you accept mediation? If we treat them differently, won't we still be helping them … ahem, anyway, you understand what I mean. I personally have a reason to deal with Modo, and I've told them in advance. It's not going against the united front, but it's better for the association to remain neutral. "
He knew what the three Universal Civilizations were planning. The purpose of the development union was to mediate all Beyond Grade A conflicts. The three Universal Civilizations wanted to make an issue of this and turn the association into an indirect third party ally. If the Supercluster used their direct members, they would attack them. If the three Universal Civilizations used their direct members, they would pretend they did not see anything. This way, the final effect would make people think that the development union was still the three Universal Civilizations' henchmen.
Of course, Han Xiao could not agree. He was the vice president of the Beyond Grade A Association and an ally supported by the three Universal Civilizations. His identity was sensitive, and both sides needed him. Therefore, he could not easily take the wrong path.
The three Universal Civilizations had the advantage in terms of direct Beyond Grade As, so they had no reason to restrict their own advantages. Therefore, they would most likely not agree to the association's way of treating them equally.
As expected, after hearing what Han Xiao said, the three Universal Civilizations' leaders rejected this proposal. As rulers, they could not give the association a higher law enforcement authority than them.
The Ethereal Pope slowly said, "Black Star, let us speak openly. We understand your position very well. The Mecha Empire wants to create opposition, but you're different. You don't want to separate the Beyond Grade As from us, and you don't reject working with us. That's why we have high hopes for you. Therefore, this matter can actually be discussed. Just tell us what you want."
"That's right. My goal is to form a more equal cooperative relationship between the Beyond Grade As and the advanced civilizations, not to become your vassals. As for the premise of equality … you have to at least loosen most of the shackles on the Beyond Grade As, such as the monopoly of Class Knowledge."
"Isn't this the deal we proposed before? We used the removal of the knowledge monopoly as a bargaining chip in exchange for the development union to deal with the Supercluster Alliance, but you didn't agree. "
"How should I put it? In the eyes of many Beyond Grade As, using this to make a deal is no different from blackmailing and compromising. Another goal of the association is to form a united front. We don't want to be forced to continue being involved in faction disputes. Therefore, most people hope that the three Universal Civilizations will unconditionally loosen the many restrictions, including the knowledge monopoly, and reform the alliance system. After that, we'll be willing to talk about new terms of cooperation. This is a matter of order … "Han Xiao explained the association's request.
The Beyond Grade A united front was actually the same as a union strike. It was to improve the welfare of the entire class and fight for better treatment for themselves. Therefore, they were quite united before the benefits were in their hands.
"… If we do that, what form of cooperation do you hope to achieve?" The Ethereal Pope threw the question back.
"To be honest, the association's opinion is not unified for the time being, but more people suggest to reduce the nature of allies and strengthen the employment relationship. In order to reduce the coercion and increase the freedom, the cooperation will no longer be limited to one company. Also, outside of the employment relationship, we won't suffer any retaliation from faction disputes …"
Han Xiao explained the expectations of the development union. There were too many twists and turns in this. The needs of the advanced civilization allies were different from those of the neutral Beyond Grade As, so it would be difficult to obtain a result that everyone was satisfied with when they had different standpoints.
The three leaders shook their heads and did not agree. Neither side was willing to give in, so this meeting could only end without reaching a consensus.
Striding out of the reception room, Han Xiao sighed and felt somewhat helpless.
As his position in the universe grew higher and higher, the choices he faced every day became more and more critical. Every choice could have a profound impact on his own development. If he was not careful, he would deviate from the path, and it would be difficult to fix. Only by experiencing this personally could he understand the dangers involved.
At the same time, after Han Xiao left, the three leaders in the reception room exchanged glances.
"Looks like there's no need to count on the development union to provide any help. Black Star is really not careless at all. When he received benefits, he had a clear conscience. When we asked for repayment, he also rejected without any shame. Heh, his principles are really strong," Bader said.
"Come on, this isn't our main goal for building momentum for him. Rejection is to be expected. If this little benefit can be used to control a peak Beyond Grade A, then it's too simple."
"There's nothing wrong with Black Star cherishing his reputation, but we can't lose the big picture for small gains. We still need him to act as a link in the future to guide the development union … It's just that their request is a little whimsical."
"The Beyond Grade A group can't be without limits. If we completely remove their shackles, there will definitely be hidden dangers in the future."
"We don't have the time to deal with it now. Let's continue to put the negotiations aside and observe Black Star. No matter what, letting him take the position will definitely be better than the Mecha Empire."
…
Under the strong publicity of the three Universal Civilizations, the award ceremony was broadcasted in various regions of the major Star Fields, causing widespread discussion among countless galactic residents.
Among them, the most talked about one was Han Xiao. Some people felt that Black Star deserved the Galaxy Medal, while others felt that his contributions were not great enough and could not be compared to the previous Galaxy Medal winners.
However, no matter what, the truth could not be changed. Counting Han Xiao's deeds in detail, catching EsGod, stopping the disaster, fighting the Mecha Empire, and contributing to the stability of the universe, most people still had a positive attitude.
However, the galactic society's discussion of the award ceremony did not last for more than a few days before a sudden change attracted the attention of the entire universe.
Just a few days after the award ceremony ended, the largest armed conflict to date suddenly broke out in the free competition zone of the fourth exploration phase of the Flickering World. Many organizations attacked multiple planet strongholds without any warning, as if they had planned it beforehand.
The free competition zone suddenly fell into chaos.
…
"Rumble rumble!!"
The earth trembled incessantly. Rows of heavy ground combat vehicles that were more than ten meters tall pushed forward. Everywhere they passed, the forests collapsed, the forts shattered, and the ground defense lines were breached. Countless turrets and traps turned into pieces on the ground.
Groups of armored soldiers raised their weapons and fired wildly at the invaders. Hot beams of light shot out from the muzzles, but the agile figures of Supers shuttled through the artillery fire, destroying one squad after another and easily tearing apart the defenders' battle line. The soil splashed up from the explosions buried the corpses of the soldiers wrapped in broken armor.
The low-altitude vehicles in the sky cooperated with each other and provided firepower support from the high altitude. The cannons on the ships spat out dense tongues of fire and bombarded the protective shields of the fortresses, causing electric arcs and sparks to fly everywhere. The verdant forests were reduced to charred debris under the bombardment, and the buildings collapsed one after another in the bombardment.
This was a resource planet located in the middle of the free competition zone. Originally, it was discovered by a vassal Star System civilization under the three Universal Civilizations and built a stronghold there. However, it was suddenly attacked today.
The attackers were a large fleet, and their spaceships had the same symbol — a snowflake-shaped emblem with two spears crisscrossing at the bottom. It represented an Immortal organization called 'Northern Battlefront', which had been established not long ago and had not made any big moves in the free competition zone. Who would have thought that they would suddenly attack a planet occupied by a Star System civilization without warning?
This Northern Battlefront fleet sent out more than a hundred thousand Grade B players, as well as a large number of battleships and ground combat equipment. Not long after the battle started, the stronghold's defense forces were completely defeated and could not withstand the Northern Battlefront's attack.
An allied player organization like the Northern Battlefront was formed by a large number of guilds, and they had also recruited many independent players who had brought money into the organization. They were very strong and could support a certain scale of galactic war. After all, after surviving in the galaxy for four versions, the guilds had accumulated a certain amount of capital.
Currently, there were tens of millions of active players in the entire galaxy. The Black Star Corps had recruited more than ten million people and was already the largest player faction. The remaining people were scattered in various organizations, and their numbers were also large. The guild alliance had recruited quite a number of people.
There was also a group of players from the three Universal Civilizations in the stronghold, only one or two hundred of them. They had no choice but to fight their way out. However, they were quickly drowned by the Northern Battlefront army and could not do anything.
A Northern Battlefront battleship hovered high in the sky. In the command room, the leader of the Northern Battlefront looked down at the one-sided battle and smiled with satisfaction.
"Victory is right in front of us. Quickly finish off the enemy. We still have other strongholds to attack."
He was the leader of the Northern Battlefront's many allied guilds and was in charge of operating the organization. His ID was' Fire of the North Sea ', and he was the president of a large club in Europe.
"Where are we going next?" another upper echelon of the allied guild asked.
"We'll attack whoever is closest to us. Sweep all the way."
Fire of the North Sea waved his hand in high spirits.
The Northern Battlefront communicated with the NPC organizations in the name of the organization and reached an agreement with the Supercluster Alliance. As an agent, they would help the Supercluster Alliance conquer cities.
Every time they conquered a stronghold, they would receive additional rewards. Furthermore, they would not have to spend any effort to occupy the planet. The Supercluster Alliance would be in charge of development and provide them with a high share of resources, which was equivalent to an endless stream of funds. At the same time, during the war, the Supercluster Alliance would also provide resource support, material purchase discounts, and other benefits.
Not only the Northern Battlefront, but the Galactic Business Alliance, the 5C Alliance, and many other player guild alliances had also reached an agreement with the Supercluster Alliance and temporarily fought for them.
The conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Supercluster Alliance was already an open secret. The Supercluster Alliance would not be afraid of the three Universal Civilizations and the Black Star Corps like the smaller factions in the past. The clubs of the various countries saw an opportunity and started a national war through the battle between the two factions.
Starting a national war was partly for entertainment, but it was also more for benefits.
First, it was to transition from an ordinary organization to a Supercluster faction through this channel. Second, it was to recruit more independent players through the war and strengthen the organization. Third, it was to speculate in the war and ask for a share of the various resources. Fourth, it was because of the main storyline mission of the faction war. Fifth, it was to provide outside help for this season's Pro League in advance and alleviate the situation of the Black Star Corps dominating the game.
Now that the Supercluster Alliance had made the first move, the Northern Battlefront and the other guild alliances had started to expand the territory of the Supercluster Alliance in the free competition zone, which led to the current situation.
Fire of the North Sea opened the star map and looked at the real-time expansion of the Supercluster Alliance's territory in the free competition zone. He clenched his fists excitedly.
"This is an unprecedented event … The Black Star Corps' advantage in the Flickering World is too great. Only if the Supercluster Alliance that we support wins can we turn the tables and obtain the same amount of resources!"
…
The same scene played out on many planets in the free competition zone. Apart from the player guild alliances, there were also other private armed organizations fighting for territories for the Supercluster Alliance.
About 2,400 planets were invaded on the same day, and they were all resource planets, transportation hubs, or other strategic locations. Up until now, the fourth exploration phase had basically been completed, and the Super Star Cluster Alliance could accurately choose the most valuable targets to attack.
All of a sudden, the Supercluster Alliance's territory increased tremendously, firmly occupying the core areas of several Star Clusters in the free competition zone. With this as their foundation, they started to expand, greedily seizing the planets and strongholds that other organizations had developed, taking a large amount of territory into their hands and starting to build the deep defense line in their strategic blueprint.
Facing the sudden attack of the Supercluster Alliance, the entire world was shocked!
