Roddick's eyes flashed, and he said, "Tell me what you think."
"What weaknesses do you think Black Star has?" Lagos looked around.
Hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Black Star's strength is shocking, his body is tough, his foundation is huge, and his prestige is top-notch …" Roddick's expression was not good. "I can't think of any weaknesses."
"In other words, what does Black Star care about?"
"His army? But we can't shake his foundation … His mother planet? It's heavily protected, and we don't have a chance to attack him. Plus, such a small problem isn't enough to make Black Star worry about himself … His officers? As far as I know, the important members of the Black Star Corps are all equipped with teleportation devices similar to the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device. It can't be blocked, and it won't work to threaten Black Star … As for the other things, Black Star doesn't seem to care much about them. "
The more Roddick spoke, the more desperate he became. In his opinion, unless the upper echelons surrounded Black Star without caring about the casualties, there was nothing they could do about him.
Lagos shook his head.
"Black Star is indeed strong, but don't exaggerate too much. Get rid of the shadow in our hearts and re-examine him. There are actually some ways to achieve our goal. We can split it into two routes, direct and indirect."
Roddick had a glimmer of hope. In the past few years in the free competition zone, Black Star had become a huge problem for him. He could not wait to ask. "Hurry up and tell me."
"The direct route is very simple. Start with Black Star himself. Although we can't wipe out his physical body, his soul isn't as tough as the Indestructible Body."
Hearing this, Roddick was immediately discouraged. "So what? Even if Black Star's mental strength is relatively weak, it's not something we can target. At the very least, only peak Beyond Grade As are qualified. "
"No, no, no. Take a look at this file."
Lagos swiped the virtual screen with his finger and released a confidential file.
Riddick looked over and mumbled to himself, "Marwell's project file, project number -023, project name, Soul Swap Twins … What is this?"
"This is a top secret document sent to me by the upper echelons not long ago. I don't know much about the Marwell Project, but according to the description of the upper echelons, this project is one of the secret plans of the civilization to cultivate special talents."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded one after another, and they weren't surprised.
Because they coveted the position of the overlord of the three Universal Civilizations, the Supercluster civilizations had always known how to hide their trump cards and had formulated many plans to secretly cultivate special talents. After the Tragedy of the Pinnacles, there were even more such plans. Some of the direct Beyond Grade As hidden in the secondary dimensions were the products of different secret cultivation plans.
This was considered a semi-public secret among the advanced civilizations. The three Universal Civilizations also knew about it, but they did not know the details of the various plans.
"You're saying that these two can deal with Black Star?" Roddick expressed strong doubts. "That's impossible. These twins aren't even Beyond Grade As. How can they hurt Black Star?"
"You've also subconsciously misunderstood. Beyond Grade As aren't the only ones who can hurt Beyond Grade As! Although these twins are weak, they're the only ones who can use a special Universal Treasure, and this Universal Treasure belongs to the category of Space Wonders. It has miraculous effects on the soul and has never appeared before. It might work on Black Star. "
Roddick hesitated for a while before clenching his teeth. "Since there's no other way, let's ask the upper echelons to send these twins over to help … What's the other indirect route you mentioned?"
"The indirect route is to target the people around Black Star. Looking at his experience so far, there are very few people he cares about. Among them, his relationship with the Dragon Emperor is more subtle. If something happens to the Dragon Emperor, he might be able to temporarily put down everything he has on hand and restrain the Black Star Corps."
Roddick was shocked. "Why would the Dragon Emperor be the target?"
"Officers like Hella are heavily protected. In comparison, the Dragon Emperor has a higher chance."
"Didn't you say that Black Star gave special teleportation devices to the people he cares about? There's no way the Dragon Emperor isn't prepared. How do we deal with her?"
"When I said deal with her, I didn't mean killing her with force. After all, she's a Beyond Grade A and won't be easy to deal with …" Lagos pondered. "But think about it. If the Dragon Emperor suddenly has a huge change in personality and commits a heinous crime, Black Star won't turn a blind eye to it, right?"
"You're saying …"
"I have two plans. The first is to let the [Soul Swap Twins] plot against the Dragon Emperor and twist her thoughts. The success rate of this will be higher than dealing with Black Star directly. The second is to find a way to put the Dragon Emperor in a whirlpool and make everyone angry, such as violating the peace treaty and massacring civilians. This way, Black Star will have no choice but to divert his attention."
"There's no need to talk about the first plan. What about the second plan?"
"It can be framing or baiting the Dragon Emperor into going crazy. According to the data, she has a very obvious weakness …" Lagos' eyes flickered. "We'll have to plan for the specifics."
Hearing this, Roddick's eyes sparkled.
This sounds quite reliable!
…
Of all the war zones in the four Star Clusters, the Ferdinand Star System war zone in the Emerald Star Cluster was the most eye-catching. The reason was that the Black Star Corps tore through the outer defense line formed by the proxy organizations and headed straight for the Modo Civilization's important territory in the central ring area.
Although the Black Star Corps said that they were only targeting the Modo Civilization, the army's current actions had already had a huge impact on the overall war situation in the Emerald Star Cluster. The outer defense circle formed by the Supercluster Alliance had a gap opened.
With the Black Star Corps' attack direction as the breakthrough point, a large number of organizations on the side of the three Universal Civilizations chose to follow the army and try to enter the Modo Civilization's territory through the gap, which was one of the central areas of the Supercluster Alliance.
The Supercluster Alliance tried to fill the gap, but they could only send reinforcements. No matter how unwilling the proxy organizations were, they had to stop the advance of the three Universal Civilizations' forces led by the Black Star Corps.
The Modo Civilization had no choice but to send out a part of their regular army to cooperate with the Northern Battlefront and other player guild alliances to stop the Black Star Corps, barely keeping them on the battlefront between Star Zones 5 and 7.
This battlefront had become the whirlpool of war in the Emerald Star Cluster, attracting a large number of armed fleets and turning it into a meat grinder. The Ferdinand Star System's battlefront had become the most intense area of the battle.
The war in the Flickering World was in full swing, and the three Universal Civilizations did not stay idle. They issued measures to impose sanctions on all the Supercluster Civilizations in multiple areas, starting to erode the national strength of the various Supercluster Civilizations from political, economic, and other aspects so that they could not focus on the war.
Therefore, a large number of the Germinal Financial Group's business personnel boarded the fleets returning to the explored universe and headed to the various Star Fields.
…
In the spaceship, Interpais, the current Vice President of the Germinal Financial Group, looked out of the window, his eyes reflecting the beautiful exhaust flames of the fleets.
"Unknowingly, it's been more than twenty years …"
He touched the mustache on his lips, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
The scene of him being half-forced by Black Star was still vivid in his mind. Many years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Interpais had already turned from a young man with some business talent to a shrewd and experienced middle-aged businessman. His position had also been promoted to CEO.
At first, he was unwilling, but later, he took things as they came. Then, for the sake of promotion, he worked hard to improve his performance. Now, he was already used to working for the army and working hard to obtain benefits for the army.
Every time he thought of the past, Interpais felt like he was dreaming.
He was originally just the head of a small financial group, but he never thought that he would become an important officer under the Black Star Corps and step onto the top stage of the universe.
Seizing the opportunity to shake the economic stability of an advanced civilization, not only earning huge profits but also influencing the situation of the universe. This was one of the top achievements of a galactic businessman!
Those who could do this were all business giants in the universe.
If not for Black Star, this guide, he would probably only be able to make a name for himself in a small pond in a Star System. He would not be able to imagine his current life.
Speaking of gratitude to Black Star, there was indeed a little, but Interpais was more lamenting about how his fate had changed.
At this time, the secretary walked in with a virtual document in his hand.
"Vice President, the Limitless Financial Group has drafted a cooperation agreement and needs your signature."
"Hmm, bring it over."
Interpais stopped thinking, quickly glanced at the terms of the document, and signed his name.
He remembered that he had a mission on this trip.
Cooperating with the Limitless Financial Group to get a share of the economic sanctions was only the surface reason. There were two real missions.
One was to focus on attacking Modo in the economic field, and the other was to help the intelligence personnel hide and monitor the movement of the Supercluster Civilization's resources and army.
The lifeline of the Super Star Cluster Alliance in maintaining the war was logistics. If they did not receive a steady stream of support, the troops in the free competition zone would be nothing more than a lone army that was bound to lose. Therefore, the Army Commander privately gave him a mission to figure out the transportation lines of these civilizations through the resource movements of the Super Star Cluster civilizations.
As long as he could control or cut off the transportation lines of the Supercluster Alliance, the troops in the free competition zone would just be a bunch of turtles in a jar.
After more than twenty years of contact, the image of Han Xiao in his mind was one of foresight. He knew very well that his Army Commander was setting up a trap, and he was just one of the chess pieces that needed to be placed in the right position.
…
On the other hand, in the Black Star Corps frontline exploration base.
A group of players gathered in a private room. It was crowded and noisy.
"We've been here for almost twenty minutes. Why did you call us over?"
"Were you guys also informed by Philip?"
"Yeah, I wonder why we're here."
Many of the players were discussing.
Everyone present had just arrived at the exploration base and was preparing to join the next fleet to attack the Modo Civilization. However, when they arrived at the base, they suddenly received a notification from Philip, telling them to wait in this room.
This situation was usually a sign that a mission was about to be triggered. Not many people rejected it, and most of them came. There were about two thousand people in the room now. Most of them were veteran players who had joined the army early on, and some were even members of certain Chinese club guilds.
Just as everyone was chattering away, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the room.
Hum!
A virtual projection appeared in front of the crowd, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Many of them widened their eyes in surprise.
"Black Star!"
The projection that appeared in front of everyone was Han Xiao.
Han Xiao looked around, looked at the curious faces, and nodded in greeting.
"Everyone, I'm the one who informed you to come here. You're all veterans who have been with the army for many years. You're all trustworthy. I've chosen you out of everyone. I have a secret mission that I hope you can carry out."
Hearing this, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes.
We're players who were specially chosen by the Army Commander?
Ah, the scent of a hidden mission!
"What do you want us to do?" a bold player in the crowd shouted excitedly.
Han Xiao smiled.
"I need you all … to be spies!"
Then, he issued the 'secret mission' that he had written long ago to the players present. Everyone's eyes lost focus, and they looked like they were looking at the interface.
Many foreign clubs had planted spies here, and Han Xiao was prepared to give them a taste of their own medicine. He sent some army players to pretend to join those guild alliances to gather information while also planting spies in the Modo Civilization to investigate the transportation route.
For this reason, he would conceal the fact that these players had served in the army and 'cleanse' their identities. This was a piece of cake for a Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic.
Investigating the transportation route was not to completely destroy the Modo Civilization's hope but to better encircle them and attack their reinforcements. He grasped the Modo Civilization's determination that they would not give up on the Flickering World so easily. As long as they could survive, the Modo Civilization would continue to invest troops into this meat grinder.
Not only would this satisfy his mission requirements, but it would also keep the Black Star Corps involved. After all, if Modo was gone, the Black Star Corps would have no reason to intervene in the war.
This was only one part of his strategy. Han Xiao was secretly planning in many ways, preparing to weave a huge net to cover the Modo Civilization and make them the prey on the spider's web.
For this, he even secretly contacted an old friend that he had not interacted with for a long time, a dangerous sociopath, a powerful demagogue, and a useful tool in his mind …
Rossellin!
It was not difficult for him to imagine what kind of changes would occur within the Modo Civilization after using such a powerful weapon …
