Sol Cluster, Klent Kingdom territory, Bloodshed Land headquarters, Planet Heber.
In Heber's palace, the emissary from Klent met with the Tyrant and conveyed the message of the upper echelons.
"The Amethyst Civilization destroyed the reconnaissance team we sent to Colton. This is their warning. According to the information we received, the people who attacked the reconnaissance team were all private organizations in the Colton Star Cluster. This proves that Purple Crystal is forming an alliance. We have to take the next step."
"You need my help."
"Yes, in the past two years, Klent has been supporting you and helping you gather many private armed organizations in the Sol Cluster. The scale of Bloodshed Land is many times larger than two years ago. We plan to form an alliance with you as the core to secretly invade the Colton Star Cluster and start a secret war with the Amethyst Civilization."
"Sure," Heber replied.
"Although the Dragon Emperor Ames is in Colton, she's basically neutral. However, the Black Star Corps under her seems to be on Purple Crystal's side. If Ames interferes, we hope you can deal with her."
"If necessary, I'll take action." Heber shook his head.
In the previous gathering, the Dragon Emperor and Black Star had not explicitly rejected the Red Empire's recruitment, and there had been no news of them after that. However, even if Floating Dragon had joined the Red Empire, they were still not on the same side. Both sides had different goals, and they stood on opposite sides of the Star Cluster civilization camps. The Red Empire did not care about chess pieces fighting each other. The more chaotic the situation was, the better. That way, they could take advantage of the situation.
Klent was willing to be the Crimson Dynasty's pawn and carried out the Crimson Dynasty's motto. With a strong backer, Klent had become bolder and bolder in the past two years, especially toward Purple Crystal, a neutral civilization that did not side with any of the three Universal Civilizations. They had been eyeing it for a long time.
The Sol Cluster that Klent controlled was the second largest in the Shattered Star Ring, and it was Colton's neighbor. Klent was very ambitious, and their goal was not only to share the benefits of the Flickering World but also the Colton Star Cluster. Although they maintained a good relationship with Purple Crystal on the surface, they secretly wanted to steal a few Star Systems from Purple Crystal.
Of course, this would not have been possible in the past. However, now that the Red Empire wanted to cause trouble, the restrictions of the Peace Treaty suddenly decreased. The strong had the right to set the rules. The balance of order in the galaxy seemed indestructible to ordinary people, but in the eyes of the three Universal Civilizations, who had experienced the exploration era war, order was actually very fragile. The other civilizations were just players who had to follow the rules of their game.
Even Heber felt that the Klents were very greedy.
However, this was exactly what he wanted. He needed ambitious allies, not allies who had no ambition. The more greedy a person was, the more they would rely on him.
Heber stood up, and his mountain-like figure covered the Klent emissary.
"I understand Klent's intentions. Go back and tell your superiors that I will take over this war. They don't have to worry about anything."
The Klent emissary nodded with a victorious smile on his face.
Compared to the temporary alliance formed by the Purple Crystal Star Cluster, the difference between the two was like an iron fist and a sheet of loose sand. For this secret war, Klent had started preparing two years ago. Purple Crystal had reacted hastily and was at a disadvantage before the war even started.
With Heber the Tyrant holding the fort, it was only a matter of time before they crushed Purple Crystal's alliance.
The Bloodshed Land was invincible and had never disappointed Klent before.
…
Shana returned to the headquarters, which was located in a desolate universe belt at the edge of the Shattered Star Ring. It was truly a no man's land.
All the Star Fields had desolate universe belts, and very few people stepped into them. The characteristics of the desolate universe belts were that the planet density was sparse, the resources were scarce, and there was no life. However, some organizations that were wanted or wanted to remain mysterious would occasionally choose desolate universe belts as their headquarters.
Shana entered the headquarters, and her companions were all waiting there. Other than Eliot, there were four other people wearing different masks. They were either sitting or standing, and their auras were unfathomable. They all looked at Shana.
One of the short men spoke. His voice was hoarse and indistinct, like an old man with one foot in the grave. He slowly said, "You failed and exposed your face. For the next few years, you will replace Adrian to guard the headquarters. He and Eliot will go out on missions."
"Humph."
Shana's expression was ugly, but she did not refute. This was their internal rule. In order to not be targeted, once someone failed outside, they would replace the person on duty outside.
This was a secret organization with very few members, and all of them were elites.
Adrian was a muscular male creature with the characteristics of a beastman. Hearing this, he took out a palm-sized metal plate, threw it to Shana, and said, "It's your turn to guard the headquarters. Enjoy your boring life from now on."
This metal plate was one of the special keys of the headquarters prison. It was divided into four parts.
All the targets on the list would be locked up in the headquarters prison. Under normal circumstances, four people would guard the headquarters, and two would go out to capture the targets on the list. This was their normal operation.
Eliot shrugged. "Looks like I can't partner with you. Unfortunately, I always thought that we had good chemistry."
Hearing this, Adrian pointed at himself. "I'm your old partner."
Eliot was helpless. "Other than Mr. Albert, all of you have worked with me before."
The short old man was Albert. He was the captain of this team and had been guarding the headquarters all along.
Eliot had never failed outside. He was the only one who had never been replaced. It was always his partners who rotated. Shana, Adrian, and the other three had all worked with him before.
"Next, let's talk about Black Star." Albert stared at Shana and said slowly, "Because of your failure, there is a risk of us being exposed. Black Star will be vigilant and will actively search for our whereabouts. We have two choices. One is to ignore Black Star and wait for the storm to die down before we act. The other is to capture him as soon as possible and eliminate the risk of being exposed. After that, we will keep a low profile for a while …"
"Leaving him alive is a hidden danger. I've checked his information. The Dark-star organization in the Garton Star System did not take Black Star seriously at first and was destroyed by him in the end. This person is very dangerous. We can't leave him alone."
Shana suddenly interrupted.
Albert nodded. "Makes sense. He's a dangerous person. Eliot, Adrian, the only goal of your mission this time is Black Star. You must capture him. If you can't capture him alive, I'll allow you to eliminate him."
"Alright." Eliot had no choice but to nod.
"Mr. Albert, I've fought Black Star before and was unable to force him to use the characteristics of 'Indestructible Body'. He should still be hiding stronger abilities. It's not safe with just two people. My ability just happens to counter him. Please let me work with you," Shana said with a deep voice.
Albert thought about it and felt that it did make sense. He asked Shana to hand over the key and said, "Alright, I'll make an exception this time. The three of you will work together. Don't be rash. Make sure you're one hundred percent confident before you act."
Shana nodded this time. Part of the reason why she had insisted on participating in this mission was because she wanted to avenge her humiliation. The main reason was that she wanted to take care of Black Star. Although she had lost, she still remembered the battle process. Black Star had been countered by her, so she was indeed suitable to deal with Black Star.
"Klent has been on the move recently. It seems like they are going to fight with the Amethyst Civilization. Black Star should be involved. We have plenty of opportunities."
Eliot smiled. He was a A + Super, and he had two close to A + helpers, Shana and Adrian. His opponent was just Black Star alone.
He felt that it was safe.
…
At the same time, Black Star Corps Base No.1.
"Oh my, sending three people to deal with me. That's scary."
Through the Observer's Mark, Han Xiao saw the conversation between Shana and the others as if he was watching a movie.
After waiting for a few days, Han Xiao finally received valuable information from the Observer's Mark, which gave him a shock.
Shana is suspected to be Grade A +, and the other two should not be weaker than her. The three of them working together to deal with me … Have I dug up your ancestors' graves? Are they that irreconcilable? Is there a need to send out such a luxurious lineup?
However, Han Xiao did not panic at all. After all, this was a huge problem, and there was no point in panicking.
"With my strength, the chances of winning against these three people are very slim. Even if I'm very tanky and might not be killed, there's an eighty percent chance that I'll be captured … If the strength of these six people is similar, it can be said that as long as it's someone below Beyond Grade A, as long as it's someone they want to capture, there's almost no one they can't capture."
Being targeted by this group of people, Han Xiao could not help but feel heavy pressure.
This group of people seemed to be just following orders to capture the strong … Han Xiao had a feeling that these six people were just the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious organization.
However, pressure was only pressure. Not only did Han Xiao not panic, he even felt like laughing.
Originally, the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light. If Shana did not participate in the operation, he would not have been able to guard against the enemy's surprise attack.
However, Shana had to participate in the operation and became the eyes of the operation, allowing Han Xiao to monitor their movements at any time.
What a good teammate!
"This eye is too worth it."
Han Xiao could not help but feel lucky that this group of people was cautious. If they were reckless, his situation would have been quite troublesome. He was not afraid of scheming, but he was afraid of stubborn people.
"Hmm, let me think about how to receive them …"
