The communicator received a signal from Risda. Risda had infiltrated the AI system of a Dark-star mothership and pretended to have access to it. He was currently cracking the database of Dark-star. With Risda's ability, as long as he successfully infiltrated the database, cracking the database would be a done deal.
As long as he hacked into the database, Risda would be able to replace the AI system of the mothership and become a traitor. When the other motherships exchanged data with him, all of their locations would be exposed. For now, he could only expose the location of the mothership that he was hiding in.
DarkStar's high stealth and flexibility were the abilities that made people feel helpless. They could hide in the dark and cause trouble, and their mothership base was constantly moving. Han Xiao did not know their exact location, and before Risda delivered itself to his doorstep, there was not much he could do about it.
This idea had popped up when he cooperated with Risda to deal with the Dark-star ambush team. It was highly feasible, and Han Xiao secretly made some calculations and came to a conclusion that made him excited. This might be a good opportunity to get rid of Dark-star once and for all. The temptation was huge.
That was because he had gone against Dark-star time and time again, constantly showing off his abilities. Dark-star's hostility towards him would definitely grow deeper and deeper, and sooner or later, they would use thunderous means to deal with him.
Han Xiao was not afraid. After all, when he was a powerleveler in the past, being chased down by others was a common occurrence. Furthermore, his surname was Han, and his escape skills were at least at the grandmaster level. However, while he was safe, his companions were in danger. His family was still very weak and could easily be destroyed by Dark-star.
Han Xiao would definitely not hesitate to get rid of such a dangerous enemy if he had the chance. Even if he could not trigger the follow-up mission, he would grab the opportunity to get rid of Dark-star. Missions were as endless as homework, and getting rid of his nemesis was more important.
However, this required Godora's help, and Godora would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. Their hatred for Dark-star was basically permanent.
With that thought, Han Xiao left the room and went to Godora's camp to look for Nagojin.
"Black Star, you're here."
In the Godora camp, the Godora soldiers were busy organizing the supplies and moving them onto the spaceships. Nagojin was supervising them at the side. When he saw Han Xiao, he smiled and welcomed him. He was in a good mood.
"Are you guys ready to leave?" Han Xiao glanced around.
"Yes, the Blue Star problem has been solved. Our mission is complete. The escort fleet and our disaster relief team will leave today."
Nagojin nodded. With a smile on his face, he patted Han Xiao's shoulder heavily.
"I still have to thank you. The higher-ups are very satisfied with my efficiency. They said that after this incident is over, they will give me a promotion. It's all thanks to you."
Right now, his favorable impression of Han Xiao was at least over 60 points. Han Xiao's contributions had also allowed him to bask in the glory of being promoted and making a fortune. He was beaming with joy.
Han Xiao looked around, grabbed Nagojin's arm, and brought him to a more secluded place.
"I have new information that you guys will definitely be interested in. Help me contact the higher-ups of the War Bureau."
More benefits? Nagojin's eyes sparkled.
"Tell me about it first so that I can relay it to the higher-ups." Nagojin also lowered his voice. He could tell that Black Star was a treasure. As long as he worked with Black Star, he would be able to share the benefits.
Seeing him like this, Han Xiao's eyes twitched. After knowing Nagojin for so long, he knew that Nagojin would not put on a dignified demeanor in front of him. With his favorable impression of him increasing, Nagojin would reveal his true nature in private. While firmly carrying out his duties, he did not hide his interest in being promoted. His Calamity Grade aura completely collapsed.
Grade B Supers were the backbone of the galaxy, and Calamity Grade Supers were the high-level combatants. Nagojin was naturally highly valued in the War Bureau. However, Godora had a large population of more than a hundred billion, and there were still more than ten Calamity Grade Supers. To describe them as down-to-earth, these people were equivalent to the experts of the Imperial Court. Thus, Nagojin also had competitors.
"The information this time is related to Dark-star." Han Xiao's tone was mysterious.
"What is it about?"
"Their location." Han Xiao gave a simple introduction.
Nagojin's eyes widened, and his breathing became heavy. As an insider, he knew what this meant.
"I'm asking you very seriously. Are you lying to me?"
"Even if I lie to anyone, I won't lie to you." Han Xiao rolled his eyes.
"Follow me, I'll inform the upper echelons immediately."
The two of them walked into the secret meeting room and locked the room. Without saying a word, Nagojin took out his communicator and contacted the upper echelons.
Very quickly, the call went through. However, it was the secretary of the upper echelons of the War Bureau.
"Nagojin, the bureau chief is in a meeting. This is an important meeting held by the highest leader. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it later."
The battle on Planet Golden Gate had just ended, and the upper echelons of Godora were discussing the aftermath of this matter.
"I have an urgent matter!" Nagojin said.
"Then tell me first. When the bureau chief is done with the meeting, I'll tell him."
"Tell him to stop the meeting. This time, it's really big information!"
Nagojin's tone was excited.
"Black Star has grasped Dark-star's whereabouts!"
The secretary's expression changed. "Don't hang up," he said. He did not even cut off the call. The two of them watched as he ran into the meeting room. There were many important people in the room. Some of them were real people, while others were remote projections. All of them turned to look at the secretary with puzzled expressions.
The secretary hurried to the side of the War Bureau Chief and whispered the situation to him. The War Bureau Chief's eyes widened. He stood up, took out his communicator, and went to the projection of the highest leader to explain the situation to him.
The highest leader's expression changed slightly. Without saying a word, he said, "The meeting is over.
Those whose names are not called, please take a break. "
Everyone's pupils constricted. Those who were able to sit at the meeting table were the highest leaders of Godora's important organizations, key departments, and military committees. Almost all of them were national leaders. Even the weakest of them was a senior official in a core department. They basically held the power to make decisions for the entire Godora. If Godora was an empire, then this room would be the heart of the empire.
What exactly had alarmed the highest leader to the point that he had to stop the meeting? Even some of the higher-ups had to leave. What exactly was the information that even they could not stay behind to look at it?
The higher-ups left the room, leaving only the most important people behind. This was a serious matter. The highest leader had only left behind his most trusted subordinates.
。
"Black Star, I'm Godora's highest leader, Serbia the Fifth."
Godora was a magic-based civilization. Its political structure was similar to that of a magic-based planet. It was not a federal system, so there was no need to talk about democratic elections.
The highest leader's name followed the traditional format of ancient kings. The superiority of the purebloods also came from the traditions of the royal family. However, in the Interstellar Era, Godora's traditional political structure had made some changes. Many departments had been added and removed to make the structure less bloated and more adaptable to the productivity and technological level of their civilization. The highest leader was no longer a lifelong position. His authority was restricted, and a lot of his authority was given out.
The nobles and royal bloodlines were not as respected as in history. Most of their privileges were taken away, and only their status and family honor were retained. This was something that the people of Godora, who had seen the colorful interstellar era, could barely accept. As a Star System civilization, the people's ideological level and the country's system advanced together. Even if they followed tradition, they would still make appropriate changes.
Once the system fell far behind the ideological level, there was an 80% chance that there would be a reformation.
On the contrary, there were many advanced civilizations whose systems were behind the technological level. For example, Harmon's hometown was known for being barbaric. They advocated individual strength and were not very smart. However, this group of muscleheads actually knew how to build spaceships! This was because their ideology was not advanced enough, and they did not start from the beginning.
After all, in the Interstellar Era, there were many successful examples of technology and productivity. There were many types of technology, and the influence of the system on productivity was reduced. Thus, the three Universal Civilizations had different systems, but they were evenly matched.
Facing the highest leader of Godora, Nagojin bowed respectfully, and Han Xiao nodded casually. This was one of the benefits of being a mercenary. There was no need for him to bow.
"This is our third negotiation," Han Xiao said with a smile.
The first time was to provide the sample of the Mutation Source. The second time was to reveal the Dark-star plan and act as the middleman for the large mercenary groups. This was the third time.
For the first two times, the people who negotiated with him were the upper echelons. However, for the third time, he was directly communicating with the highest leader.
Without any small talk, they went straight to the main topic. Han Xiao wanted to prove that the information was reliable. Risda's achievements could not be replicated, and to Godora, this information was a hundred times more valuable than the sample of the Mutation Source. Dark-star was like the cancer of the civilization, and there was not a day that Godora did not want to get rid of Dark-star.
Both parties had been fighting for many years, and if they could completely get rid of Dark-star, the meaning was not just getting rid of a mortal enemy. In terms of bloodline, reputation, status, and public opinion, they would gain a lot.
"This is the third time that Godora is making a deal with you. This information is very important. Are you making a personal deal, or are you representing Floating Dragon?" Serbia the Fifth asked.
"I'm representing Floating Dragon." Han Xiao nodded. This meant that he was using his identity as a guarantee, and the deal was very formal.
"What do you want?"
Godora was determined to get this information, and he did not intend to be polite this time. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "Fifty fifty ships.
One large battleship. I don't want Godora's model. I want a pure technological product. Second, I need you to open up your Super Knowledge Database and let me copy a portion of your knowledge. Third, after this is done, you have to announce my contribution to the entire galaxy. Fourth, I want twenty million Enas. "
This condition was more than ten times more expensive than the sample of the Mutation Source. Every department had a limited budget, and this was not a small sum. Furthermore, they had just engaged in a war not too long ago, and the burning of money was a little too fast. Serbia the Fifth frowned and pondered for a moment.
"Sure, I'll pay you five million Enas first, and we'll hand over the rest of the money and battleships after this matter is over. At that time, you can copy five types of Super knowledge. As for announcing your contribution, you want to increase your reputation, right? Sure, as long as this operation is successful, we will make an official announcement."
Wow, he agreed so easily. If I had known, I would have raised the price a little. Han Xiao coughed and hesitated.
"Is it too late to raise the price now?"
"No." Serbia the Fifth's face darkened.
Han Xiao shook his head. This was the biggest deal he had ever made, and this information was very valuable. However, he still needed Godora to do it in the end. It would not be good to extort them too much. Even if they really wanted the information, Godora would definitely lower the price and would not agree to such an exorbitant demand.
He was about to bring the players into the galaxy, and he would need a lot of funds to open up many connections. This amount of money was more than enough to last him for a long time. If he used the twenty million Enas to purchase spaceships at cost price, he would be able to form a fleet of almost a hundred battleships.
"I look forward to working with you," Han Xiao said.
"Hmm, we will wait for your good news. Nagojin, you will stay in Blue Star for the time being and be in charge of communication."
"Yes." Nagojin nodded.
…
A few days after the attack on Planet Golden Gate …
Somewhere in the Garton Star System, a Dark-star fleet was moving at high speed.
This fleet was currently heading toward Planet Aquamarine, and Degulish was the commander. Accompanying him was Ember, as well as a high-ranking officer by the name of Terry. There were a total of three Calamity Grade Supers, and in order to kill Black Star, Degulish had mobilized more than half of his high-end combatants.
Previously, when the attack on Planet Golden Gate failed, the leader of Dark-star was slightly surprised. However, he did not have an intense reaction and only allowed Degulish to continue attacking Blue Star according to plan. Now, the Dark-star's plan had deviated from its original path and was completely messed up. They could only make use of the time they had to cause Godora to suffer losses. At this moment, their aggro toward Han Xiao was extremely stable.
Considering that Black Star had the Blacklight Stealth and was extremely fast at escaping, if they wanted to kill him, they would have to force Black Star to participate in the battle. Thus, attacking Black Star's hometown, Blue Star, was also to force Black Star to stay behind and fight.
"… After Godora's fleet leaves, we will attack Blue Star and use the space disruption device to cover the atmosphere of Blue Star. Although it is useless against the Blacklight Stealth, it can at least slow down the speed at which the Hyperdrive Base Station opens and prevent the other calamity planets from sending reinforcements. I have already checked. Ames left the Garton Star System a few days ago, and Black Star's backer is no longer around."
"Ashes will lead a group of troops as the vanguard. The rest of us will hide and wait for Ashes to hold Black Star back before we make our move. We cannot reveal all our strength at the start, or we will scare Black Star away."
Degulish had a solemn expression as he spoke to the two of them.
Terry did not comment.
Ashes coldly said.
