Blue Star.
A few days after the second stage of the Mutation Disaster, the number of beasts near the Sanctuary had increased significantly. In order to prevent a beast horde from forming, Herlous and the rest of the mercenaries were finally put to good use. They led the players who had joined the mercenary group to exterminate the beasts and set up various defensive positions in the wasteland.
The players were the main force in exterminating the beasts, and the defensive positions quickly became places for the players to form teams to farm beasts, recruit members, and sell equipment.
Most beasts were easier to control than humans, and according to Han Xiao's understanding of the Mutation Source, after entering the second stage, it would consciously control the beasts to attack places like the Sanctuary, causing the attacks to become more frequent.
This could be some sort of counterattack by the Mutation Source, but Han Xiao was not too bothered by it.
The Mutation Disaster was only a huge threat to Blue Star, and his level had long surpassed the upper limit of Version 20. Thus, the threat of the Mutation Disaster to Han Xiao was limited.
Han Xiao did not treat the Mutation Source as an important opponent. After all, he had a trump card that could deal with it. His main goal was to make use of this opportunity to complete his plan of recruiting players. Dealing with the Mutation Disaster and dealing with Dark-star were both less important.
However, from the perspective of the players, the Mutation Disaster was the first Main Storyline Mission since the start of Version 20, and it was extremely challenging.
For the sake of completing the Main Storyline Mission, the players did not lack missions in the Sanctuary, Black Star Mercenary, and Godora, and there were opportunities everywhere.
During Version 10, the players already had a basic understanding of Blue Star, and during the Mutation Disaster that swept across the world, everyone worked together to complete the mission. There was a strange sense of group effort, and most of the time, there was competition between the players. However, this time, they were required to work as one, and it was a very strange feeling.
Han Xiao did not need to personally deal with the disaster, but the players were currently on the frontlines of disaster relief. They would encounter all sorts of side missions and characters, and they were extremely busy.
The various actions of Black Star and Godora were part of the storyline in the eyes of the players.
At this time, the Blue Star players were still unable to personally participate in the matters of Han Xiao's level.
Other than when he was recruiting players, Han Xiao did not pay much attention to the overall situation of the players. He understood the players. No matter what the situation was, the players would always find space to express themselves and have fun. They were very subjective and did not need him to worry at all.
A few days later, just as Nagojin had revealed, Godora had set up a military orbital transition station. The temporary stargate was connected to all the calamity planets. As long as Dark-star dared to appear, what awaited them was a thunderous strike. The War Bureau was full of ambition.
However, Dark-star ceased its attacks and stopped attacking. The Garton Star System seemed to have calmed down, but this was just an illusion.
Not long after, a new piece of news shocked the entire galaxy!
"Godora's colony planet, Long Arc, was attacked by a large Dark-star fleet. The enemy had three Dark-star motherships as the core, and there were more than four thousand battleships. Godora's fleet fought an intense battle with the enemy and suffered heavy losses. Long Arc was bombarded by cannon fire, and more than forty cities were turned into ruins. The remaining cities were severely damaged, and the death toll is estimated to be more than three hundred million."
"According to reports, the attack started when a Dark-star member used a destructive Esper ability on the surface of Long Arc. This person has the ability to turn a human body into dust, and tens of millions of people died under his ability. The Godora Civilization responded to this attack by sending three waves of reinforcements. In the end, thousands of enemy battleships and a Dark-star mothership were wiped out, and the Dark-star fleet was repelled. "
"Godora's colony planets have been attacked many times in history, but this is the only time that a colony planet was almost wiped out. Dark-star's actions this time are viewed as extremely vile terrorist activities. This is the worst incident in the Garton Star System in the past ten years, and we have reason to believe that this is the signal that Dark-star is about to start a war again. According to the investigation, the origin of this incident should be a disaster that happened on more than ten civilized planets at the same time. Currently, we do not know what Godora's response is."
After reading the news, Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and his eyes flashed.
"We have finally reached this stage."
Dark-star's attack on the colonies caused more harm to Godora than attacking the calamity planets. Furthermore, they were serious this time, and three Dark-star motherships were dispatched at the same time. In the information exposed by the internal players of Dark-star in his previous life, Dark-star did not have more than fifteen motherships at their peak.
Furthermore, that bastard Ashes had run to the surface and attacked from both inside and outside.
It had to be said that Ashes's Esper ability was extremely powerful against ordinary people. With just a thought, he could decompose all carbon-based life forms within the range of his Esper ability. He was the 'killing tool' in the eyes of Dark-star, and this was the first time Ashes had publicly displayed his power to the entire Star System.
DarkStar was not like Godora, who had hundreds of military factories. Every single mothership that they lost was a huge blow to their foundation, and they had to spend a large amount of money to replenish it. Losing a mothership during the attack on Long Arc was not a small loss.
However, Han Xiao knew that Dark-star had already achieved the desired outcome.
The Long Arc tragedy shook the entire Godora civilization. After the incident, there was a theory that Dark-star had attacked the calamity planets to tie down Godora's forces and then take advantage of the situation. Dark-star's real goal was to attack the colonies.
As a result, Godora's citizens on the other colonial planets felt insecure, and the support for rescuing the calamity planets fell to rock bottom overnight. Countless people strongly requested Godora to recall the forces that were protecting the calamity planets and use them to protect them.
As it concerned their own safety, almost all Godora's citizens accepted this explanation, and their sympathy for the calamity planets was naturally thrown to the back of their minds.
In reality, the Long Arc tragedy had little to do with the disaster relief forces. The main reason for the failure was Dark-star's overwhelming force. They had taken out three Dark-star motherships at once, and the defense forces of a second-tier colonial planet naturally could not defend against them. The Military Orbital Transit Station was not connected to the colonial planets, and it would take a lot of time to redeploy it.
Although Godora was powerful, its forces were scattered across hundreds of colonial planets, and it was impossible for every planet to have a strong defense force. If Dark-star went all out, it could still forcefully take down a few colonial planets. If not, Godora would not have viewed it as a great enemy.
This time, Dark-star had also lost a mothership fleet. However, most people did not care about the losses of Dark-star. They only cared about the consequences of Dark-star and Godora's losses.
Godora's citizens were unable to maintain their rational judgment, and people who were panicking were the easiest to lead. Furthermore, Dark-star was behind this incident to incite public opinion.
Not only did this cause panic, but on the other hand, the conflict between the purebloods and the hybrids was once again stirred up. Many people who lived in Long Arc had relatives or friends who had died unnatural deaths, and Dark-star was the instigator.
Dark-star had always used the name of the hybrids as an excuse. Under such circumstances, the hybrids living in Godora's colonies naturally became a substitute for venting their hatred and anger. The conflict between the people was due to the long-standing discrimination against the hybrids, and it was almost a tradition. Godora's government could not forcefully change it.
The Hutt Civilization had always been paying attention to Godora, and when they realized that Godora was troubled by internal problems, the Hutts were willing to play the role of 'external problems'.
The Hutt Fleet stationed in the Hyde Star System started to move, and they madly probed the borders of Godora's territory, constantly putting pressure on them.
The continuous attacks made Godora unable to breathe.
Dark-star's shadow was behind all of these incidents, and their actions were only the beginning. The Long Arc Massacre was the fuse that triggered the entire situation.
However, Han Xiao was not prepared to allow Dark-star's plan to continue.
"Godora is probably as disgusted as eating sh * t right now."
Han Xiao shook his head. He did not like Godora, but he would not rejoice in their misfortune. After all, Dark-star was their common enemy.
"The Mutation Disaster is one of the key conflicts, and Godora will realize that time is of the essence. The best solution is to get rid of the Mutation Disaster as soon as possible. This way, the disaster relief team will be able to be freed up, and the internal conflicts will be resolved."
"I happen to have a copy of the Mutation Source in my hands, and as long as I provide it to Godora, they will be able to create the antidote very quickly, and the Mutation Disaster will be resolved."
As long as the situation was resolved, Godora would be able to relax and focus on dealing with Dark-star.
The more urgent Godora's needs were, the more benefits he would be able to obtain from the Mutation Source.
"Now is the time. Although Godora is willing to pay a higher price if this drags on, there is no need to wait for Dark-star to obtain a huge result before making a move. As long as Godora realizes the importance of time, they will naturally understand the consequences of not being able to stop Dark-star."
Han Xiao calmed himself down and sent a contact request to Nagojin. However, even after waiting for a long time, the other party did not pick up. This was not usually the case.
After being stunned for a moment, Han Xiao decided to go to Godora's camp and look for Nagojin. However, he was stopped by Nagojin's adjutant.
"Black Star, Officer Nagojin instructed me not to let anyone disturb him unless there is something important. Please return."
"What's wrong with him?"
"Officer is currently in a meeting with the upper echelons and has no time to meet you," the adjutant said solemnly.
In the past, Nagojin would not reject him. Han Xiao thought about it and immediately understood. Godora was facing internal and external problems, and Nagojin was a high-ranking official. He would naturally be busy, and in his eyes, Han Xiao did not seem that important.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and suddenly thought of something. He did not insist on meeting Nagojin and left Godora's camp.
He suddenly realized that even if he wanted to hand over the Mutation Source, he could not make it seem too timely. Otherwise, it would be thought that he had been carrying the Mutation Source all along.
He had to put on an act.
"Since the excuse is that the Mutation Source came from Floating Dragon Island, I might as well make a trip back and put on an act."
Han Xiao reminded his officers and left Blue Star alone in the Blacklight Stealth.
Two hours later, Nagojin ended the meeting and found out that Han Xiao had come to find him.
"Black Star did not find me and left in a spaceship?"
Nagojin frowned and shook his head. Black Star did not continue to contact him, and it was probably nothing important. He did not want to waste time on such a small matter.
The various departments of Godora were in a terrible state because of the Long Arc incident, and the upper echelons might transfer him away from Blue Star. Nagojin was also very busy, and he did not have the time to bother about Han Xiao at such a time.
"The plan is slowly unfolding, and we will definitely be able to reduce Godora's strength greatly this time."
In the headquarters of Dark-star, Deputy Leader Degulish was speaking in a meeting with a smug tone.
"We have caused quite a bit of trouble for Godora, and the public opinion in the country is asking them to withdraw their disaster relief forces. Naturally, it is impossible for them to do so. Since the disaster relief has already begun, if they give up halfway, Godora's position and reputation in the galaxy will be shaken. However, if they continue to persist, the internal conflict will only become more intense.
"Even if they give up, we will no longer hold back and easily destroy these calamity planets. Not only will we be able to get rid of the organizations that rely on Godora, but we will also create misunderstandings that Godora gave up on the calamity planets, which led to their destruction."
"These are just some simple examples. In any case, no matter what Godora chooses, they will always be the loser, and we will hold the initiative."
Degulish sneered and said, "The Mutation Disaster, the Hutt Civilization, and the internal conflict will all affect Godora's energy. We have plenty of time to carry out our follow-up plan, and the Mutation Disaster is the root of it. The calamity planets will hold back a large portion of Godora's mobile forces, and the longer this drags on, the more the situation will ferment. If this can continue for one to two years, hehe."
"It is hard to say exactly how long it will take, but with Godora's research capabilities, it is impossible for them to solve the Mutation Disaster in a short period of time. They will not be able to research anything."
