At the headquarters of the Black Star Corps, the fleet returned triumphantly with the spoils of war. The players had earned a huge amount of rewards, and their empty wallets were filled up again. Most of them came back to spend.
This large-scale military operation had quite a huge impact on the players. This was the first large-scale battle that the army players had participated in in Version 3.0. After this battle, the players had basically gotten used to Version 3.0 and understood the goal of the main storyline and the current galactic situation.
In the forums, there were countless discussions about this battle. This was the first large-scale galactic battle that the Black Star Corps participated in ten years later, and it was quite memorable. This battle was also recorded in the Galaxy Chronicles by the players.
On August 4th, Year 704 of the Galaxy Calendar, the Black Star Corps joined forces with Section Zero to attack the Bloodshed Land forces in the Kant Star System and returned victorious.
The Galaxy Chronicles was an important document that all the players had participated in writing. It recorded what the players had seen and heard, and it formed the story of the various regions in the galaxy. Even if they did not personally experience the story, some of them were still keen on checking the various galactic news to supplement the events in the Galaxy Chronicles.
Although it was only Version 3.0, the Galaxy Chronicles had already recorded a lot of information. It was divided into sub-directories according to the Star Fields, organizations, and people.
In the Shattered Star Ring, the Black Star Corps was naturally the organization and storyline that the players were most familiar with. Han Xiao and the army had a special sub-page, and the players recorded the development stages of the Black Star Corps according to the time. From the Blue Star to the current Star Cluster organization, even the various events in the ten years after the version update were recorded in detail for the new players to understand.
A spaceship left the spaceport of the Black Star Corps headquarters. The hundred or so people on the spaceship were players who planned to head to Klent. They had contacted each other on the forums and decided to leave together. Hate the Sky and a few of his friends were among them, enjoying the benefits of the Black Star Corps for the last time. They had spent most of the rewards from this battle.
"I didn't expect to stay in the Black Star Corps for so long in the blink of an eye. I really don't want to leave now."
In the corner of the cabin, Hate the Heavens was browsing through the records of the Black Star Corps. For some reason, he felt a little melancholy. He turned around and looked out of the porthole. The enormous headquarters of the Black Star Corps was getting further and further away.
The players had watched the growth of the Black Star Corps since version 1.0. They had accompanied the Black Star Corps for two versions. The achievements of the Black Star Corps today were all thanks to them. The records of the Chronicles carried the memories of all the players fighting together, and they couldn't bear to part with them.
Zhang Hentian looked around at his companions. Most of the players on the ship were gamblers. They did not change factions because they wanted to experience the unknown storyline. Instead, they wanted to fight for the hidden benefits that Klent might have. Thus, they were not as sentimental as him, who was a fan of the storyline.
"Don't think too much. My judgment won't be wrong." Seeing that Zhang Hentian seemed to be nervous, a person beside him patted his shoulder and said with a smile.
Zhang Hentian turned around. The ID above this person's head was' Summer Night Flower '.
Summer Night Flower was the initiator of this team. He believed in himself and was also prepared to change factions. He took the initiative to contact these players who were interested in joining Klent. As he was the one who analyzed the benefits of joining Klent, the players on the ship seemed to see him as the leader.
"I'm not nervous." Zhang Hentian shook his head.
Summer Night Flower smiled, clapped his hands, and got the players on the ship to look over. He said loudly, "Our destination is the West Wind Star System. Bloodshed Land has many strongholds there, and their forces are the most stable. They're recruiting soldiers on a large scale. This is our chance to join Klent and become the main storyline of the Klent faction."
Everyone responded in twos and threes.
"Everyone, believe in me. We won't lose out."
Summer Night Flower smiled. Looking at the hundred or so players, he was a little excited. He felt like he was a pioneer.
Along the way, Summer Night Flower and the others changed galactic flights a few times. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the West Wind Star System and came to the recruitment office of Bloodshed Land. After handing in their files, they followed the officer onto a troop transport ship and headed to a stronghold on a planet.
Bloodshed Land would also replenish their troops locally. With the flag of the Tyrant and Klent, there would definitely be people joining. The galactic residents were very free, especially at the border of the West Wind Star System. There were many foreigners and were not loyal to the Amethyst Civilization.
On the troop transport ship, thousands of galactic warriors were lined up neatly and being inspected by the officer. Summer Night Flower and the other players were mixed in.
The officer browsed through their resumes. Suddenly, he stopped in front of Summer Night Flower, frowned, and said with surprise, "You're all members of the Black Star Corps? Why did you join us? "
Summer Night Flower thought for a while and replied, "We hope to seek better development in Bloodshed Land."
"Oh, you've made the right choice." Although he said that, a look of contempt flashed across the officer's eyes.
The members of Bloodshed Land were basically all tough guys, and this officer was no exception. He had always looked down on people who joined the enemy for benefits.
"Alright, you're all members of Bloodshed Land now. When you reach the stronghold, there will be missions for you."
The officer then turned around and left. He felt that he had to report to his superior that the members of the Black Star Corps had joined the enemy.
Summer Night Flower clenched his fists excitedly and said softly, "Did you see that? I was right. Being part of the Black Star Corps will allow us to receive special attention from Klent. The earlier we join Klent, the easier it will be for us to be valued."
Seeing that it was a good start, the players who followed him could not help but be overjoyed.
At this time, a notification popped up on their interface.
You have activated a new faction — Bloodshed Land. Current Relationship: Indifferent You have activated a new faction — Klent Kingdom. Current Relationship: Indifferent Summer Night Flower and the others were just about to be happy, but the notifications were far from over. The following notifications stunned them.
Your Grade S Main Storyline Mission [Secret War — Section Zero] has failed. You have received a new mission [Secret War — Bloodshed Land]. Your accumulated Mission Rating has been reset to zero and will be recalculated.
You have joined the opposing faction of the Amethyst Civilization.
Your relationship with the Amethyst Civilization has changed to [Hostile].
Your relationship with some Star System Civilizations in the Colton Star Cluster has been reset to [Indifferent].
You have joined the opposing faction of Section Zero.
Your relationship with Section Zero has changed to [Hostile].
You have joined the opposing faction of the Black Star Corps.
Your relationship with the Black Star Corps has changed to [Hostile].
You have lost your identity as a member of the Black Star Corps. The faction interface and faction store are closed. You are unable to enjoy the services of the Black Star Corps.
Your relationship with the Black Star Corps has been reset to zero. Your accumulated contribution has been reset to zero.
Summer Night Flower and the others were stunned. Although they had vaguely guessed that they would lose a lot of things by changing factions, when it actually happened, they still felt a chill in their hearts.
Suddenly, everyone's communicators rang. Phillip's subroutine jumped out, and the cute voice of a shota turned into a cold mechanical voice.
"You have betrayed the Black Star Corps and chosen to join the enemy. You are unable to receive any services from the Black Star Corps. The program has been automatically uninstalled … Uninstallation complete. Hum …"
The next moment, the Philip sub-program disappeared from their communicators. It looked like it had been uninstalled, but it was actually hidden and turned into background surveillance.
If they had only joined a neutral faction, this would not have happened. However, joining the enemy was equivalent to betraying their original faction, and they would definitely be punished. They would lose the favor of their original faction and become enemies.
Summer Night Flower's heart ached. Suddenly, he felt the angry gazes of the players around him and was pushed to the corner by the crowd.
"You have to give us an explanation!"
This wave of losses had stimulated their fragile nerves. They had spent two versions to build up their faction relationships, and it was all gone in an instant. The hundred or so people were like red-eyed gamblers.
"Listen to my explanation!"
Summer Night Flower hurriedly explained. "I've said it before. There are definitely risks in changing factions. The benefits of Klent lie in the long-term, and our chances of winning the secret war are higher. Furthermore, we have fewer people, so no one will fight for resources. The most important thing is that we can build connections with a Universal Civilization. This is all potential for the future. We have to give up the benefits in front of us in order to gain long-term benefits. This is an investment! Do you understand investment? "
Everyone had come for Klent's future development, but the huge loss had made them lose their minds. After hearing Summer Night Flower's explanation, they calmed down a little.
Summer Night Flower struck while the iron was hot and said, "Don't worry, we've lost the favor of many factions in Colton. Actually, the loss is not that big because we'll be developing in Klent's territory in the future. There will be less competition and more resources. Even if we have to climb up from the bottom again, the benefits in the future will be greater. Just you wait. Sooner or later, more people will join Klent for the sake of becoming a Universal Civilization. We'll be in the lead. "
The hundred or so players all had different expressions. These people only wanted to earn benefits and not lose. However, they had already boarded the pirate ship, so they could only trust Summer Night Flower and walk down this path.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Summer Night Flower heaved a sigh of relief.
Among the crowd, only Zhang Hen Tian was the calmest. His goal was a different storyline, so he could accept the loss calmly. Seeing the gamblers around him worrying about the loss, he felt a little amused.
At the same time, Summer Night Flower and the others did not know that at the moment of their betrayal, a new mission had suddenly been placed at the top of the mission list of the Black Star Corps. Summer Night Flower and the others' information appeared on the wanted poster.
Bounty Mission [Army's Wanted Poster]
Mission Introduction: The Black Star Corps will not tolerate traitors. Any member who kills a traitor will be rewarded.
Mission Requirements: Kill or capture the traitor alive.
Reward: Depends on the target's strength.
This mission can be repeated.
Not only the players, but the hundreds of millions of Black Star Corps members could also receive the wanted poster. It was like the army had issued a job to the internal members.
Releasing a wanted poster was inevitable. This was the standard procedure for most organizations to deal with traitors. Although Han Xiao valued the players and gave them enough freedom and benefits, there must be a punishment mechanism. Otherwise, his own faction would be like a sieve, and the players would be able to defect to the enemy whenever they wanted.
If the army did not draw a clear line, he would be the scapegoat in the end. That would be even more troublesome.
"Someone betrayed us?"
"It's actually a group of players. I thought it was NPCs."
"Summer Night Flower? Isn't that the guy who said that the Klent faction is good? Is he trying to set an example? Sure. "
"Does this mean that these players will become red names after joining the enemy faction, and we will be rewarded every time we kill them?"
The players in the army were very excited. It had been a long time since players from the enemy faction appeared. The earliest ones were those unlucky people who joined the Germinal Organization in Version 1.0. Now, there was finally a wild PK target.
If it was an NPC traitor, they would be gone after killing them once. However, if it was a player from the enemy faction, they could kill them as many times as they wanted. This was a resource that could be recycled.
…
On the other hand, Summer Night Flower and the others had not calmed down for long before a friend contacted them privately.
"What, we are all wanted?"
Summer Night Flower's mouth was wide open in astonishment.
Did this not mean that the millions of players and hundreds of millions of NPCs from the Black Star Corps would all hunt them down?
This was much more serious than what he had expected!
Summer Night Flower's throat moved unnaturally, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him. He turned his head stiffly like a robot, and what entered his eyes was the angry gazes of the hundred or so players behind him.
"I … I can still explain …"
Summer Night Flower forced out a stiff smile and spent a lot of effort before he barely managed to quell the anger that surged up in the others again.
He had not expected such a serious consequence. Summer Night Flower carefully observed the anger on the faces of the others and felt a chill in his heart.
If he had guessed wrongly, the army would not even need to chase him down. These opportunists beside him would take the initiative to ambush him and kill him.
…
Colton Star Cluster, a certain Star System.
Four spaceships surrounded a dark red spaceship, and energy chains and traction beams trapped the dark red spaceship on the spot.
The leader of this small pirate gang stared at the prey through the porthole and licked his lips. A hint of greed appeared on his malnourished face, and his subordinates behind him were also overjoyed.
Due to the rise of the Black Star Corps, the pirates in the Colton Star Cluster had become more and more difficult to survive. The name of the Black Star Corps had even frightened the big pirates. A small pirate gang like theirs was like a mouse, and they could only keep a low profile.
This time, they had finally found a spaceship that was alone, and this pirate gang hurriedly followed to rob it.
"Found it. This is a Red Ferry Grade spaceship. It's very valuable!" One of his subordinates looked up the model of the dark red spaceship online and was pleasantly surprised.
The pirate leader clenched his fists excitedly, and with the thought of seizing the dark red spaceship, he hurriedly threatened through the communication channel. "Don't run, and don't fight back. Otherwise, we will destroy your spaceship!"
The people in the dark red spaceship seemed to be frightened, and the spaceship obediently stayed where it was without any intention of fighting back. The pirate leader's heart was finally at ease. He controlled the spaceship to slowly approach and extended his mechanical arm, preparing to dock with the dark red spaceship.
At this time, the dark red spaceship suddenly erupted with a high-energy reaction, and a red energy wave exploded in the shape of a ball. In the blink of an eye, it swept past the four spaceships and passed through them as if it was invisible.
The smiles of the pirate leader and his subordinates froze on their faces.
Thump! Thump!
The next moment, all the pirates on the four spaceships fell to the ground. Their smiles were still there, but their eyes had lost their luster. Their spirits were crushed in an instant, and they became corpses.
Gray shadows were pulled out of the corpses by an invisible force, turning into rolling fog and flying toward the dark red spaceship, gathering in a fair hand.
Hella was expressionless as she absorbed the dissipated soul energy. Her Esper Ability had grown slightly.
She could absorb the remnant spirit energy of the dead to strengthen her own Esper Ability. She did not have the opportunity to do so when she was on Floating Dragon Island, and she had only broken through the threshold of Grade A through hard work. Now that she had officially entered the universe, there were no restrictions, and there were plenty of opportunities to kill people. She picked up this method of increasing her strength.
In terms of growth, Hella's potential might not lose to normal players.
However, she would not pursue power like she did in her previous life, killing planets one after another.
"Sister, what do we do with these four spaceships?" Aurora controlled the spaceship and asked.
On Floating Dragon Island, other than training her Esper Ability, Aurora had also learned a lot of supplementary knowledge and knew how to pilot spaceships.
"Take them with you. Maybe Han Xiao will use them for modification."
Hella did not care much about the spoils of war. She secretly recalled the battle earlier. She had been sparring with Ames all this time, so she did not know how high her actual combat strength was.
"I seem to be … quite strong?" Hella thought to herself.
…
The galaxy was far away, and the road was long.
