In Han Xiao's previous life, Hella had made a name for herself as the Goddess of Death.
Ever since Han Xiao had rescued the two sisters from the Germinal Organization, he had always viewed Hella as an important helper in the future. He had waited for so many years, and finally, Hella had matured and had the strength of a Calamity Grade Super. She could be of some help now.
Han Xiao was very clear about Hella's ability. She could absorb souls to strengthen herself. This was a shortcut exclusive to her. In his previous life, she had massacred countless planets, and her growth speed had even exceeded that of the players.
In his eyes, although Hella did not have the Luck Glow, she was still an undeniable Epic character … of course, she was a villain.
Now that Hella had not gone astray, all the dead soldiers could become her source of power. This was a rare opportunity to unleash Hella's true potential.
He needed someone who could replace him to control the situation, and Hella was the best candidate.
As for Aurora …
Han Xiao turned around and smiled. "How's the development of your Esper Ability going?"
Aurora smiled and flipped her palm. A dazzling golden halo appeared on her palm.
"I'm not good at fighting, but I can heal any physical injuries. I can also stimulate the vitality of others and make them stronger. Give it a try!"
As he spoke, a golden light shone on Han Xiao's body. Han Xiao felt energized, and his entire body seemed to be electrified. He was filled with energy, and a few additional buffs appeared on his interface.
It was like Li, Holy Light!
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. "Can your ability be stored?"
"Yes, I've tried injecting vitality into Energy Serums, and it can be stored for a long time. However, I'm not as hardworking as my sister. I'm not a Calamity Grade Super yet, so the shelf life is a little short. The healing effect will continue to decrease, and it can only last for two months at most."
Aurora scratched her head and was a little embarrassed.
Han Xiao's eyes lit up, and he looked at Aurora as if he was looking at a treasure. He saw the hope of expanding the army's business and entering the galactic pharmaceutical industry.
Aurora's Esper ability was a natural healer. When she was still weak, her healing ability was already very strong. Now that Aurora was a Grade B Super, her healing ability had probably expanded countless times.
"Also, although my combat strength is average, I can regenerate at high speed." Aurora pulled out an explosive pistol from the belt of her combat uniform. She twirled it a few times with her fingers and suddenly fired at her other hand.
With a bang, the beam of light pierced through her palm. Before Han Xiao could be surprised by her actions, the wound quickly healed and disappeared without a trace. Her palm was white and smooth, like white porcelain. It was impossible to tell that she had been injured just now.
"See, I also have the ability to protect myself." Aurora's face was full of expectation, like a child showing off, wanting to be praised by Han Xiao.
After more than a decade of training, other than developing her Esper ability, Aurora had also learned a lot of shooting and fighting techniques to make up for her combat strength. Due to the torture of the Germinal Organization in the past, although she looked weak, she was actually full of toughness. Her tolerance for pain was extremely high, and she did not even frown when she casually pierced through her palm.
What a real man … Han Xiao thought to himself. He then put on a smile and praised, "Great ability."
As expected of the Life Return ability, Aurora was only at grade B. When she reached grade A, her recovery ability would probably be even stronger than his. It was a pity that her ability did not give her too much combat power, but it complemented Hila's.
After the three of them finished talking about the past, Hella stopped smiling and said with a serious face, "What are you going to do with us?"
"I'll bring you to meet the officers of the army first."
Hella shook her head. "Before you returned, Sylvia brought us to meet all the officers. She said that when you returned, she would personally arrange our positions."
During the Mutation Disaster in Version 20, the most senior officers of the army had already known Hella and knew that the relationship between Han Xiao and her was not ordinary. Naturally, they would not neglect the two sisters.
"Since that's the case, let's get to the main topic. The two of you will follow me and be my bodyguards. After you understand the structure of the organization, I'll arrange for you to take up official positions," Han Xiao said.
"I don't have any objections." Hella nodded.
Han Xiao thought for a moment and said, "You two can rest for a few days first. I'll bring you two to work."
Hella shook her head and rejected. "No need. We've already rested enough. Give us missions as soon as possible. I want to see what level my strength is at."
Why are you more anxious than me?
Han Xiao laughed, thought for a moment, and nodded. "Alright, we'll set off tomorrow. I'll bring you two to war."
He was prepared to keep a low profile for a period of time. Apart from harvesting the experience of the players, he also decided to personally develop Hella's potential so that this Double Flower Red Staff would take shape as soon as possible.
…
West Wind Star System, Star Zone 11.
This was the border Star System that had been invaded the earliest. The Bloodshed Land had the largest number of troops stationed here, with hundreds of strongholds spread throughout the various Star Zones of the West Wind Star System. Section Zero had set up blockades at some strategic locations to prevent the Bloodshed Land from invading the surrounding areas.
Blockade Line 027 was one of them, and many of the Section Zero members were stationed there all year round. The Black Star Army's fleet was among them, and the personnel were rotated periodically.
Other than the occasional large-scale military operations, the blockade lines were the places with the most frequent battles. The Bloodshed Land would attack the blockade lines from time to time, and the troops guarding the blockade lines would often send out small fleets to harass and attack the Bloodshed Land's strongholds. The various blockade lines were the actual 'frontlines'.
After the battle in the Kant Star System ended, the players began to explore freely. The fifty percent discount that Han Xiao had set up for them had never been revoked, and the requirement to continue enjoying the benefits was to continue participating in the battle. Therefore, in the month that Han Xiao had been traveling back and forth, most of the players had been scattered to the various blockade lines. There were countless battles there, and this was the normal way to proceed with the secret war main storyline.
There were also players who did not participate in the main storyline. Some went to do mercenaries, some went to explore, some focused on Lifestyle classes, and some guild players bought all sorts of mining equipment and small transport ships to become miners on the resource planets under the Black Star Corps.
More than twenty thousand players had gathered at Blockade Line 027 and participated in the various daily combat missions.
Not long ago, a Bloodshed Land fleet had attacked the blockade line and returned in failure. The troops guarding the blockade line were cleaning up the battlefield. In the office of the military space station, the commander of Blockade Line 027, Rexson, looked out the window at the troops that were collecting the wreckage of the battleships and listened to the report from his adjutant behind him.
"The enemy lost eighty-six small battleships and nineteen heavy frigates. We lost thirty-eight battleships, and in terms of personnel … ahem, the enemy is unknown. Our casualties are still being calculated, and the initial estimate is very small …"
"Is it the work of the Black Star Corps again?" Rexson's expression was relaxed.
"Yes, the Immortals of the Black Star Corps destroyed many of the enemy's battleships. Because they did not need to retreat, we did not suffer any additional casualties …"
The adjutant swallowed his saliva. According to the battle report, many people used the charge cabin to board the enemy's battleships and directly detonated the charge cabin without considering retreating. Some people even carried nuclear bombs to board the battleships. They were simply too ferocious.
"Ever since the Black Star Corps transferred over tens of thousands of Immortals, our combat pressure has decreased significantly. These people are simply natural warriors." Rexson exhaled.
Nearly two months after the start of the version, more than a million army players had reached Level 100 and completed the Promotion Mission one after another, obtaining the opportunity for Race Evolution. The diversity of the players had increased further, and the first batch of veteran players had finally entered Grade B.
Although they were only at the lowest Grade B, the increase in Grade still led to a qualitative change. The mid-level combat power of the Black Star Corps immediately increased by a level. With more than a million mid-level combat power invested in the various blockade lines, the pressure on many of them was greatly reduced.
Just in Blockade Line 027 alone, more than twenty thousand Grade B players had allowed the blockade line to win all the recent battles. Rexson could not be more satisfied with the players of the Black Star Corps.
This batch of veteran players of the Black Star Corps had finally been reborn and were no longer the low-level cannon fodder of the past. They finally had the ability to have a decisive impact on small battles. This matter was discussed on the players' forums. When Pork Bun made a video, he posted Mad Blade's theory, saying that as the strength of the players increased with the version, they would have a greater impact on the world in real time, which was widely acknowledged.
Real-time feedback was an important source of interest for players. If a max level player and a new player had the same attitude towards each other, that they could only complete missions and not affect the environment, it would be too rigid. The most attractive feature of Galaxy was the immersion and immersion of living in the real world.
Just as Rexson was lamenting, he suddenly received a notification. After taking a look, his expression changed drastically.
"What's wrong?" the adjutant hurriedly asked.
"Quickly get ready. His Excellency Black Star is coming over personally. He's almost here." Rexson hurriedly walked out of the room.
Rexson gathered the high-ranking officers and went to the port to welcome him. After waiting for a while, the Blacklight Stealth entered the port.
Han Xiao had brought along the two sisters, Hella, and Fu Ding. Fu Ding had wanted to come over himself, as he was worried about Han Xiao's mental state. Before Han Xiao recovered, he was prepared to follow Han Xiao, just in case.
As soon as they got off the spaceship, Rexson and the others greeted them respectfully. To him, Han Xiao was a big shot that he could not come into contact with normally. Han Xiao had obtained the respect of all the members of Section Zero through his battle achievements.
"You're welcome. I want to know the situation of the Bloodshed Land strongholds nearby," Han Xiao said with a smile.
Rexson was flattered and hurriedly invited Han Xiao and the others to the battle conference room. He opened the tactical star map and introduced it.
Han Xiao stared at the star map, nodded, and said, "Understood. I'm preparing to attack Stronghold 58."
Stronghold 58 was the largest enemy stronghold near Blockade Line 027. There was a Calamity Grade guarding it, so Rexson had never dared to have any thoughts about attacking it. Hearing this, he was secretly overjoyed.
"I need some helpers. Don't worry, all the credit will go to you," Han Xiao said with a smile.
Rexson nodded. "I'll send the fleet to cooperate with you."
Although Han Xiao was not his direct superior, Rexson was not willing to let go of this opportunity to hug his thigh, not to mention that all the credit for eliminating the enemy's large stronghold would be his.
"Okay, we'll move out in a day."
Han Xiao nodded. He had come to the blockade line battlefield this time to let Hella test her skills. Naturally, he would take the initiative to attack.
…
Stronghold 58.
Manudo was the Bloodshed Land Grade A Super guarding this place. He was panicking.
Not long ago, the spy had sent news that Black Star had arrived at Blockade Line 027, and he was the only Calamity Grade in the surrounding strongholds. Manudo felt that since Black Star was already there, he would definitely not mind getting rid of an ordinary Calamity Grade like him.
Manudo hurriedly reported the news to the headquarters, but he did not expect the commander-in-chief to contact him.
"Black Star has a very high chance of attacking your stronghold, but don't panic. I'm going to give you a mission now."
"Is it to retreat?" Manudo's heart was filled with hope.
"Of course not," Joad said with a deep voice. "I need you to do one thing. Lure Black Star out and fight him."
"… You can just tell me that you want me to commit suicide." Manudo had a hopeless expression on his face.
"Cough, I'll transfer the nearby Calamity Grades to support you. You won't be fighting alone."
Joad was helpless. Black Star's name was already deeply ingrained in the hearts of the high-level combatants of Bloodshed Land. He had no choice but to explain, "Black Star fell into my trap not long ago and is not at his peak state. I need you to test him."
Joad wanted to observe Han Xiao's reaction during the battle and deduce what kind of damage Sisko's psychic weapon had inflicted on Han Xiao. He would only be completely at ease after seeing it with his own eyes.
At the same time, on a desolate planet between Stronghold 58 and Blockade Line 027.
Summer Night Flower and dozens of Klent players arrived on a spaceship.
They were going to do the Klent faction's main storyline mission. As warriors of Bloodshed Land, they were transferred to a stronghold near the blockade line and participated in a small-scale battle like the Black Star Corps players.
The rules of Bloodshed Land were very strict, and they could not freely explore like in the Black Star Corps. Summer Night Flower and the others were not used to it and could not help but miss the treatment in the Black Star Corps.
This time, Summer Night Flower and the others finally had some free time and came to this planet to wait.
