"World Server War … What's bound to come will come."
Han Xiao browsed through the post and saw that the content was as he expected. He could not help but sigh.
The post was jointly published by the Galactic Business Alliance, September Conference, Southeast Alliance, Tropic of Cancer, and many other guild alliances. Simply put, it was a declaration of war aimed at all the player alliances. They agreed on a time and place to launch a large-scale battle.
The players of the various alliances usually acted according to the orders of their factions, but this battle had little to do with the factions. It was basically an activity between the players.
The same thing happened in Han Xiao's previous life. The various guild alliances agreed to a battle, which eventually evolved into a battle royale involving tens of millions of players. The battle lasted for a few days and was recorded in the Galaxy Chronicles as the 'Star Battle of Tarbol'.
In his previous life, the Great Mechanic Han had also been active in this battle for a period of time, mainly to loot the equipment and items dropped by the players. This time, although the battle had happened, due to the butterfly effect, there were some changes to the specific time and location.
The way he saw it, the declaration of war issued by these guild alliances was not sudden. Now that Version 4.0 was at the end, there would not be a chance if they did not create some big news. There were two reasons to organize a battle. One was to kill the members of the enemy alliance openly, and the other was to mobilize the ordinary players to increase the cohesion of the various guild alliances.
"… To put it bluntly, they just can't sit still and want to have a group fight."
Han Xiao shook his head. The play among the players had nothing to do with him, so he had no intention of interfering.
The location of the battle was not in the Ferdinand Battle Zone but on a planet called Marissen. The army players would run over and join the battle, which would affect the battle at the frontline for a certain period of time. Although the army could use orders to restrict the players and not let them run over to participate in the large-scale battle, this would have a negative impact, and Han Xiao had no intention of doing so.
After all, the players were not really employees. If the faction restrictions were too excessive, it would be counterproductive.
Of course, not only him, the organizations that used the players would be affected to varying degrees. If these factions used a strong attitude to stop the players, it would be beneficial for the army's future recruitment.
"However, in this battle, the army players will form their own faction, and the scale will be the largest. They'll probably be surrounded … but I won't lose out."
Han Xiao's eyes flickered.
Originally, at the end of the version, the Pro League was the best promotion opportunity. Many players would spend a large amount of their savings to strengthen themselves. This way, the revenue of the army would skyrocket, and Han Xiao would be able to harvest a large amount of EXP.
However, the Pro League had already been held three times. Most of the normal players knew that they had no chance and would rather save their experience for the next version.
However, a large-scale battle was different. Basically, no player would miss it. It was also a natural promotion opportunity, and it was very beneficial to him. It would allow him to harvest more EXP at the end of Version 4.0 and become his reserve during the update period.
If I remember correctly, the interval between Version 4.0 and Version 5.0 should be forty to fifty years, which is even longer than the previous update … Han Xiao thought to himself.
The next version would be the Calamity of the Supers. The conflict between the Beyond Grade As would erupt, and some of the Primordial Ones would return. Since he had changed so much of the storyline, it would be like a rolling snowball. Version 5.0 would definitely be affected beyond recognition by the butterfly effect.
However, this was still a small matter. Han Xiao knew the important people and was not afraid of changing the original storyline. The biggest problem in the next version was actually the players.
The level cap would be opened to level 180, and a large number of Calamity Grades would appear. The codename 'Calamity of the Supers' was actually a hint to the players that the impact of the next version on the universe would be far greater than that of Version 4.0.
However, this is good news for me.
Han Xiaoxin thought to himself.
At that time, the strength of the middle and upper echelons of the explored universe would skyrocket. Although the players would bring chaos, they would also become important helpers for the explored universe against the World Tree Civilization. In the World Tree Civilization version in his previous life, the importance of the players was basically irreplaceable. If there were not tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of Calamity Grade players, the losses of the explored universe would only be greater.
On the other hand, the army's strength would skyrocket because of this. The reason he had set up so many versions was to wait for the players to transform.
There were still decades until the next version, so he had plenty of time to prepare. Furthermore, old Manison's words made a lot of sense. The foundation of a Mechanic was very important, and he planned to spend decades studying machinery technology while waiting for the effects of [Key of Adeptus Mechanicus] to grow.
Now, the effects of this talent would strengthen itself every few days, continuously increasing his strength. This meant that more and more believers of Manison were joining his embrace. One could imagine the changes in faith within the Machinery Faith.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Han Xiao suppressed his emotions and continued to browse the forums. After the troops finished cleaning up the battlefield, he boarded the spaceship and returned to Black Star Palace. He made up his mind to complete the remaining twenty-seven sparring sessions within two months.
…
Within the Red Empire, in a certain secret military training base.
Gaud, who was wearing the uniform of a high-level dynasty officer, was strolling around the training base. He was not in a good mood.
Just a moment ago, Gaud received a message from the dynasty's upper echelons, telling him to postpone the original plan indefinitely. They were going to borrow his Esper Ability to try and analyze the core energy of the Evolution Cube.
When they were planning this plan, there was no problem with the idea. However, the situation changed too quickly, and it disrupted the rhythm of many of the dynasty's hardliners. Now, Black Star's strength and status had reached a whole new level, so this plan became more and more risky. Therefore, the upper echelons had no choice but to stop the plan temporarily. They did not want to provoke Black Star, but they also wanted to protect their trump card, Gaud.
The reason for this was that Black Star's terrifying rise made the situation change so quickly that no one could react in time.
This was why Gaud was in such a strange mood. Black Star's growth speed was even faster than his smurf. It was hard for him not to feel depressed.
"Black Star … Black Star …" Gaud muttered to himself.
Gaud mumbled to himself. Without realizing it, he walked to a public training facility.
The sound of an intense battle could be heard. He looked over and saw a low-grade elite class fighting each other under the supervision of the instructor. They looked like a group of freshmen.
At this time, there were two Grade C Pugilists fighting. One of them had the upper hand, and the other was barely holding on. It looked like it was only a matter of time before he lost.
As expected, in just a few seconds, the winner of this battle was decided. The person who was at a disadvantage was kicked away and slid on the ground, stopping right in front of Gaud.
"Carrott, you lost again." The instructor frowned, looked at the loser, and said with a deep voice, "Your record is 0 wins and 9 losses. That's ridiculous."
"Sorry." Carrott rubbed his chest, stood up, and smiled helplessly.
The instructor was not happy. He yelled, "You're at the bottom of almost every test. I really don't know why the higher-ups arranged for you to be in my elite class. You're dragging down the results of the entire class. I let you stay in the class because you're hardworking enough. However, if you're still at the bottom in the next test, I won't give you another chance. I'll definitely kick you out! "
As soon as he said that, all the students in the class looked at Carrott coldly, not bothering to hide their dislike for him.
Although these people were students, they were also talents selected by the dynasty from various troops to further their studies in this secret base. Furthermore, this class was an elite class. They were all talented dynasty officers who were among the top in their respective troops.
The opportunity to further their studies was extremely precious, so these students treasured it very much. It was also because of this that they did not like Carrott at all. Carrott was too mediocre and did not look like an elite. Logically speaking, he did not have the right to be specially trained.
Because this opportunity was not easy to come by, these elites all felt that it was unfair. In their eyes, a mediocre soldier was actually studying with them. The first thing they thought of was words like 'connections', so they subconsciously ostracized Carrott.
Furthermore, they were all soldiers and believed in the strong. Carrott's ability was too weak, so they looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts. Naturally, they would not be nice to him.
Sensing everyone's cold gazes, Carrott sighed in his mind.
A long time ago, he had already accepted the fact that he was mediocre. He knew from the start that these people were all elites who were far more talented than him, so he was not depressed at all.
The opportunity to be specially trained was also thanks to Black Star. Although he was a passive person, he was not someone who did not know how to cherish opportunities. However, he had already tried his best within the limits of his ability, but he still could not catch up to the growth of these elites. There was nothing he could do.
Gaud observed quietly from the side, his eyes flashing.
A while ago, he heard from someone that Black Star had high hopes for entering the training base. His name was Carrott. Because it was related to Black Star, Gaud remembered it. Today was the first time he met the person.
He sized him up and felt that Carrott exuded the word 'mediocre' from head to toe.
Gaud thought that he had good eyesight, but he did not find anything special about Carrott. He could not help but feel confused.
"Why did Black Star have high hopes for this guy in the past? His eyesight is famous for being accurate. He shouldn't have made a mistake …"
Gaud could not understand. He thought for a while and waved at the instructor.
The instructor had noticed Gaud long ago. He immediately walked over with a smile. Almost everyone in the base knew that Gaud was the person who had the highest chance of reaching Beyond Grade A. He had received a lot of resources from the base, so his status was not low.
"Gaud, what's the matter?"
"That newbie called Carrott, regardless of whether he passed the test or not, let him stay in the base," Gaud said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the instructor was stunned.
According to the results of the test, Carrott was destined to be eliminated and leave the training base. He did not expect Gaud to plead for him.
"That's not very good. This person has no value. Keeping him around will be a waste of teaching resources."
"Try to make an exception."
Gaud did not see anything special about Carrott, but because Black Star had high hopes for him, he wanted to keep Carrott around to observe him more.
…
Han Xiao stayed in Black Star Palace and did not go to the frontlines. Time passed quickly, and a month and a half passed very quickly.
On this day, a shocking piece of news suddenly broke out in the Modo Civilization!
The Three Race General Assembly suddenly announced the start of the impeachment process against the current Modo Three Kings. In history, the impeachment of the supreme leader had not happened many times. This immediately shocked the entire society.
As the name suggested, this organization was jointly controlled by the Three Race Councilors. It had a wide range of power, including the right to impeach the supreme leader. The people leading the impeachment this time were thirty-three Councilors. They jointly proposed the impeachment, and the Three Race General Assembly passed it with a large number of votes. They quickly started preparations. It was obvious that they had come prepared.
Although they were shocked, the Modo people were quite supportive. This was because the chaos in the civilization had seriously interfered with the normal operation of society. Although this was the enemy's doing, the people did not care so much. They directly pushed the blame to the supreme leader, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Marco gathered more opposition parties, and they became more and more powerful. They found a valid reason, claiming that they were restoring law and order and opposing the war. They used a long and rigorous report to analyze Modo's extremely low chance of winning in this war as evidence to oppose the Modo Three Kings' decision to continue supporting the expeditionary army. They called it a meaningless sacrifice.
This statement was approved by quite a number of officials and people. Not everyone was willing to sacrifice their current interests for the so-called future development space. Now that the pressure was increasing, the opposition also became more and more intense.
The Modo Three Kings did not expect the opposition to suddenly jump out and stab them in the back. At this critical moment, the three of them were instantly disrupted.
