All the new members who were not Calamity Grade Supers gathered in the hall of the headquarters. It was extremely noisy.
Boom!
The dome of the hall suddenly opened, and many officers descended from the sky, landing on the most conspicuous platform in the hall. They stood in a row and looked down at the millions of new members below.
"That's the chief administrative officer of the army, Sylvia. Beside her is the fleet commander, Herlous. They're old subordinates of Black Star."
"The deputy commander of the army, Lagi, is said to be the strongest general under Black Star."
"Hardaway became Black Star's Black Star Guards some time ago. He should be the strongest."
"But why didn't the Black Star Guards appear …"
After many years of fighting in the secret war, the officers of the Black Star Corps had made their own names in the galaxy. The new members in the hall all knew these officers.
This time, a light flashed on the platform, and Han Xiao walked out of the Void Dimension. He nodded to the new members.
Everyone below the platform was excited. Facing a Beyond Grade A who stood at the peak, most of them were excited and nervous.
"Welcome to the Black Star Corps …"
Han Xiao glanced at the crowded hall and opened his mouth to give a speech, but his mind was on the three uninvited guests. While he was giving a speech to welcome the newcomers, he was also sharing the vision of the monitor through the quantum network. He was multitasking and watching the actions of the three people.
And these three uninvited guests had already found Rossellin.
…
Rossellin was a special existence among the officers of the army. She was the cultural instructor. Due to the uniqueness of her ability, she rarely appeared in front of outsiders and usually stayed in the army training camp to teach people.
After returning with the fleet, she did not follow Han Xiao to show the new members but went straight back to her room in the headquarters training camp. However, she was stopped by three people on the way.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Rossellin sized up the silver-skinned, dragon-scaled, and four-armed people in front of her and raised her brows.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Edmund, and these two are my friends. The burly one is Cade, and the four-armed one is Haywall," Edmund said.
The Dragonscaled Kade nodded in greeting while the Four-handed Hewor waved his hand in greeting.
Rossellin narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, "You're not members of the army, right?"
"Yes, but we mean you no harm. We just want to talk to you." Edmund lowered his voice. "I'm sure you'll be interested."
After a moment of silence, Rossellin nodded slowly when Edmund was a little nervous. "Okay, come with me."
As she spoke, she turned to lead the way. Edmund was delighted and followed behind with his two companions.
When they reached a corner where no one was around, Rossellin stopped and turned around.
"Speak, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"The three of us are from the Sea of Star Spirits and are planning to establish a business. I hope to invite you to join us." Edmund did not beat around the bush to save time and went straight to the point.
"Interesting. You came to the headquarters of the Black Star Corps and tried to poach a Beyond Grade A officer. You sure are gutsy." Rossellin had a playful expression. "Tell me about your so-called business. You better not disappoint me."
Edmund licked his lips, lowered his voice, and said, "We want to overthrow the three Universal Civilizations."
Rossellin's smile froze on her face.
"… Let me confirm." Rossellin's mouth twitched. "Is your brain damaged?"
"I know it sounds inconceivable, but this is indeed my ambition." Edmund's tone became slightly agitated. "The three Universal Civilizations have dominated the galaxy for too long. In order to maintain their dominance, they used the name of the Keepers of Order to play with the rules they set, cutting off the future of one race after another.
"But it's also because the three Universal Civilizations established order that the universe has its current peace. If they disappear, countless civilizations will once again erupt into wars that sweep across the universe in order to compete for hegemony. Billions of lives will die in the flames of war, and in the end, a new ruler similar to the three Universal Civilizations will be born. Even worse, all civilizations might be destroyed. Don't you know this?"
Rossellin frowned.
"I know. This is the price to pay for overthrowing the current rules, but …" Edmund took a deep breath. "This is what a revolution is."
"A revolution is to create a better era. The current era is orderly, and life is rich. Since you can survive, why do you want a revolution? If … I'm saying if, you really overthrow the three Universal Civilizations, can you guarantee that the future will be better than now? "
"No one can guarantee what will happen in the future. I don't know if a revolution can create a better era, but I'm not willing to ignore the problems that have been exposed just because I'm greedy for the current peace and allow the wrong things to continue existing." Edmund shook his head. "In the Universal Era, material abundance is enough to satisfy everyone's desire to eat and wait for death. Make them lose their will to fight, turn them into walking corpses, and allow everyone to live … Basic material needs are no longer the reason for our revolution."
Rossellin narrowed her eyes. "Then, what are you fighting for? For the races that are being bullied, or for your own ambition? "
Edmund shook his head. "Neither. I'm not an ambitious person, nor am I a great man who cares about the people … The revolution itself is my ambition."
Rossellin sized Edmund up again. He did not seem to have much of an aura, but he was actually so daring. With the status of the three Universal Civilizations, he was basically going against the heavens!
"If the revolution succeeds, what will you do? Replace the three Universal Civilizations?"
"I don't know," Edmund answered honestly.
"… Why me?"
"To overthrow the authority of the three Universal Civilizations in the hearts of countless people, we need your ability. Plus, I've heard of your deeds …" Edmund said softly. "You used to be an ambitious reformer, didn't you?"
Rossellin heard this, lowered her eyes, and did not speak.
After a long silence, she raised her eyes again and slowly asked, "How many people do you have now?"
"Only the three of us."
"You haven't even established your organization, and you want to recruit me?"
Rossellin's tone was incredulous. Her expression seemed to say 'who gave you the courage?'.
Edmund bowed and said sincerely, "Yes, but my sincerity is not fake at all. I hope to gather like-minded people and build a business together. Rossellin, I hope you can consider my proposal."
At this moment, Rossellin seemed to see Black Star's shadow in Edmund …
They're both big liars!
"… I'll consider it. Give me your communicator number."
Rossellin hesitated and did not make a decision immediately.
After exchanging communicator numbers, Edmund's face was filled with joy. This time, Cade, who had not interrupted, spoke.
"We're done here. Let's leave the Black Star Corps headquarters quickly. Don't get discovered."
Edmund nodded, said goodbye to Rossellin, and hurriedly left with the other two.
Rossellin opened her mouth but did not tell the three of them in the end. They thought they had snuck in, but in reality, the Black Star Corps' surveillance system must have discovered them long ago. In the headquarters, nothing could escape Black Star's notice.
However, she did not know why no one came to capture the three of them.
Because of this, Rossellin was curious. Did Black Star let the three of them in on purpose?
Beep!
At this time, Rossellin's communicator suddenly rang, and Philip's voice came through.
"Master wants to see you, hum …"
…
When Edmund and the other two headed to the spaceport, the inspection in the hall had already ended. Everyone had left, and the passageways were filled with people.
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief. With the crowd as a disguise, they felt that the chances of being discovered were much lower.
When they passed by the hall, Han Xiao was still there. The three of them quickly looked away, not daring to attract Han Xiao's attention, and left with the crowd.
They arrived at the spaceport, took back the spaceship, and left the Black Star Corps headquarters. Only then did Edmund completely relax.
"I keep feeling that something is wrong," Kade suddenly said with a frown. "Our infiltration was way too smooth."
Even Howard, who was complaining at the start, felt that the situation was strange. "The Black Star Corps headquarters can't be so defenseless. If we were assassins, we might have already killed a few officers."
The three of them could not understand. They did not think that it was Han Xiao who let them in on purpose.
To them, they were just nameless people. How would a Beyond Grade A know them?
In order to avoid being chased, Edmund did not dare delay and quickly entered hyperdrive. The spaceship turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
At the same time, in the corridor leading to the officers' meeting room, Han Xiaoxin moved, and a smile appeared on his face.
In the vision of the Observer's Mark, Edmund's actions were clearly displayed.
He purposely stayed in the hall and blocked the path of the three of them so that he could secretly throw an Observer's Mark at Edmund.
"I really didn't expect to see the leader of the Silver Revolutionary Army here …"
Han Xiao sighed in his heart.
These three were the founders of the Silver Revolutionary Army, important figures who would lead a version in the future!
These future trendsetters had not yet matured and were still at the initial stage of building a team. They had not officially formed the Silver Revolutionary Army.
Edmund was a restless revolutionary, a challenger to the authority of the three Universal Civilizations. Perhaps he did not even know how high his revolutionary career would reach.
Taking in Rossellin was just a casual move by Han Xiao. He did not expect to really bait the Silver Revolutionary Army, and a core member at that.
While surprised, Han Xiao decided to wait and see. He did not plan to kill Edmund and the other two. The Silver Revolutionary Army had no conflict of interest with him, and they might even become his chess pieces.
Right now, Edmund and the other two were still very weak. Han Xiao could easily kill them, but killing the Silver Revolutionary Army storyline in advance would not benefit him at all. If he ran over to the Red Empire and told them that he had killed a group of people who would shake their rule in the future, the Red Empire's response would most likely be one word — "Oh."
Therefore, Han Xiao did not chase Edmund and the other two away. He was prepared to form a good relationship with the future Silver Revolutionary Army. Furthermore, he had unknowingly thrown an Observer's Mark at Edmund.
Walking into the meeting room, Rossellin was the only one inside. She sat on the chair and looked up at Han Xiao.
"You were indeed the one who let those three in." Rossellin shook her head.
Han Xiao sat down, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked, "What do you think of them?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think of their proposal?"
Rossellin smiled and said, "Are you interrogating me to see if I will betray the army?"
Han Xiao shook his head. "It's not really a betrayal. You're Reynold's sister. You're just staying in the army to help. I didn't say that I would tie you to me for the rest of your life. You're a restless person. I knew that long ago."
Hearing that, Rossellin said honestly, "I'm staying in the army for two reasons. First, it's for the generous salary. No matter what I want to do, I have to accumulate some initial capital. Second, it's because of my criminal record. You said that as long as I help you, you will remove my criminal record. Third … maybe it's to repay you for saving me. Ahem, just a little."
"I know. You don't have to emphasize it." Han Xiao laughed. He paused and asked, "So, what are your thoughts?"
Because he had saved Rossellin in advance, he did not know if she would still join the Silver Revolutionary Army like in his previous life.
"Humph, there are only a few of them. They don't have any benefits at all. They want me to join the revolution with just a few words. They really don't have any self-awareness. I don't like the three of them." Rossellin looked down on them for a while before changing the topic. "However, to be honest, overthrowing the three Universal Civilizations … seems very interesting."
Damn tsundere, isn't that great … Han Xiao was helpless.
Personality determined fate indeed. For a restless reformer like Rossellin, even if she was grateful for his kindness, she still could not change her personality.
"If you've made up your mind, come find me at any time. I'll allow you to leave." Han Xiao stood up.
Although Rossellin was very useful, everyone had their own ambitions. He did not plan to force her to stay. Rossellin would most likely be the backbone of the Silver Revolutionary Army in the future. He had a good relationship with her, which meant that he could set up a trap in the Silver Revolutionary Army in advance. He could also let Edmund and the others know through Rossellin that they could successfully sneak in today because he turned a blind eye.
Furthermore, if he let Rossellin go, he might have a chance to force Reynold to issue a mission in the future.
Han Technician still had not given up on the Perfect Mechanical Sense.
The Silver Revolutionary Army had been quietly developing in the various Star Fields outside of the Central Galaxy at the start, only bursting out after accumulating enough strength. It had not been formed yet.
"The Crimson Tide of Version 3.0 has only been around for half a year, and the secret war main storyline has already come to an end. The development of the Flickering World is imminent, and it's time for those Liver Emperor players to explore. The Silver Revolutionary Army has also appeared. As the storyline of the version progresses, the strength of the players will become more and more obvious …"
Han Xiao's eyes sparkled.
The plan to expand his leek farm had to be put on the agenda. He could not just limit it to the Shattered Star Ring.
It just so happened that he responded to the call of the Red Empire and made a trip to the Central Galaxy. This was an opportunity.
…
At the same time, on the Klent mother planet, in the Red Empire diplomatic building, a secret meeting had been going on for a long time.
Bang!
The Klent diplomatic ambassador slammed the table and stood up with a face full of anger.
"Zoel! Don't go overboard! Why did the Red Empire ask us to give up on the proposal to redivide the Star Cluster regions to the Galaxy Civilization Conference Court? You're asking us to give up all the hard work we've put into the secret war for the past ten years! Whose side are you on?! "
Zoel wiped the spit on his face and narrowed his eyes.
"I'll always be on the side of the Empire."
