The Klent diplomatic ambassador stared at Zoel angrily and pointed at him, speechless.
"I've already explained the exact situation," Zoel said slowly. "The dynasty has decided not to take a stand on this issue. You can insist on submitting the proposal, but the success rate is very low. The Arcane Church will reject your application. I represent the dynasty and only suggest that you give up on the idea of submitting the proposal. I'm not interfering with your decision. If you insist, we won't stop you."
"I don't understand!" the Klent ambassador said angrily. "Why is the dynasty helping Purple Crystal on this?"
"The dynasty's upper echelons have their own considerations."
"Is it because of the Evolution Cube? Is that why you suddenly changed your stance? "
"I'll say it again. The dynasty's upper echelons have their own considerations." Zoel emphasized. "Furthermore, you're wrong. The dynasty only sticks to its own position, and this rule has never changed. All this while, the dynasty has never expressed support for your plan."
The Klent ambassador clenched his teeth. They did not think much about it when the Tyrant was defeated in the battle, but they did not expect it to be their turn so soon.
Klent had invested a huge amount of resources into the secret war. As a follower of the Red Empire, the Red Empire's attitude was to allow it. However, now that the Red Empire had backed out at such a crucial moment, this meant that Klent's ten years of investment might be for naught!
Of course, they were not happy.
No matter how he thought about it, the Klent ambassador felt that this was because of the Black Star Corps. Although Zoel did not explain why the Red Empire did this, he knew that this was definitely because of Black Star!
This time, Zoel changed the topic. "The development of the Flickering World is about to begin. I hope you can deploy your troops as soon as possible. The exploration mission will be quite heavy."
The Klent ambassador understood. This was most likely the Red Empire's compensation in disguise, allowing them to obtain more benefits in the Flickering World.
He pondered for a while before saying, "Since this is the dynasty's intention, we'll consider the proposal again. As for the development of the Flickering World, rest assured, we'll definitely do our best."
Hearing this, Zoel smiled faintly.
After discussing official matters, they chatted for a while before the Klent ambassador hurriedly bid farewell.
After walking out of the Red Empire's diplomatic building, the Klent diplomatic ambassador boarded the vehicle and turned on his communicator to contact the upper echelons. He reported the situation just now and caused a heated debate.
In the end, the higher-ups came to a conclusion. They could not do anything to the Red Empire. No matter how dissatisfied they were, they could only endure it. Every Klent high-ranking official felt aggrieved. After becoming the lackey of a Universal Civilization, they could only do things according to the other party's wishes.
What they hated the most was their "new ally" Black Star, who had been causing trouble in the dark. It was such a good situation, but it was ruined by one person!
It could be said that Black Star had single-handedly overturned their ten-year plan!
"A Universal Civilization protecting their own interests will definitely affect our interests. To them, we're nothing …" After turning off the communicator, the Klent diplomatic ambassador leaned back in his seat and looked at the scenery outside the window.
…
More than seven years ago, Han Xiao had taken advantage of the limelight as a Beyond Grade A seed to expand his army, which had laid the foundation for the next few years. He had experience, and this time, he made full use of the influence of his advancement to the Beyond Grade A realm. Furthermore, with the protection of the Red Empire and the Amethyst Civilization, most of the opposing forces had stopped, and the expansion of the army was extremely smooth.
Countless free Supers in the Shattered Star Ring responded to the recruitment of the Black Star Corps, and batches of new members entered the army. In a short period of time, the number of members of the Black Star Corps swelled once again. The number of members in the various Star Systems in the Colton Star Cluster had exceeded three hundred million.
The ordinary members were secondary. The number of Grade B Supers was also in the tens of millions, and there were more than forty Grade A Supers. Just in terms of the number of high-level combatants, the Black Star Corps had already surpassed most Star System civilizations.
With the name of a Beyond Grade A and Han Xiao's influence, the Black Star Corps expanded without restraint. With the investments of many financial groups and the support of the Amethyst Civilization, Han Xiao had sufficient funds to support the rapid expansion of the army.
An astronomical amount of Enas was thrown into the logistics department to build more battleships and build a new satellite base to place more divisions in the Colton Star Cluster.
The expansion of the Black Star Corps was in full swing, and the galactic residents of the Shattered Star Ring were all paying attention to the aftermath of the battle. They were concerned about how the Black Star Corps joining the Red Empire would affect the secret war.
During this period of time, the secret war had entered a truce period. After the battle, both Bloodshed Land and Section Zero had tacitly agreed not to start a war. It was eerily quiet.
Countless galactic residents were concerned about the direction of the secret war and saw it as a signal. From the current situation, the next step of the secret war would indirectly represent the outcome of the battle between the two parties.
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, news of the secret war broke out that shook the entire Star Field!
There was no battle, no announcement.
Bloodshed Land gave up all their strongholds in West Wind, Kaya, Chaida, and the other Star Systems without any warning and withdrew from the Colton Star Cluster!
When this news spread, all the people and organizations paying attention to the secret war were shocked.
Bloodshed Land represented Klent's attitude. Withdrawing their troops was equivalent to Klent giving up on their invasion plan. Giving up the results of ten years of war … meant that Purple Crystal had won this war effortlessly.
The secret war that had lasted for ten years had ended just like that?
No one knew what kind of agreement the two parties had reached behind the scenes. From an outsider's point of view, Klent giving up was definitely related to the fact that the Black Star Corps had joined the Red Empire. There had to be some logic behind it.
The most likely scenario was that the Black Star Corps had somehow forced Klent to give up on their invasion by joining the Red Empire and helped Purple Crystal win the secret war!
Tracing back to the source, the greatest contribution could only be attributed to Black Star himself!
Advancing to Beyond Grade A, snatching the Evolution Cube, forcing the Tyrant to retreat, joining the Red Empire … This series of actions was the only reason why the entire situation had been turned upside down!
This also meant that Black Star had ended the secret war by himself!
This was the truth in the eyes of the entire Star Field!
The aftermath of the battle had yet to dissipate, and the end of the secret war had caused the Shattered Star Ring to boil again!
…

Dungeon Spawned: [Secret War]
"Oh? The secret war main storyline mission has finally been completed? "
On the Fixed Star closest to Planet Golden Gate, clusters of hot Fixed Star energy wrapped around a figure. His skin was bright red from absorbing enough radiation.
Batches of new members joined. While the army was expanding, Han Xiao took some time to practice the [Heber Stellar Furnace Training Technique]. While he was taking a bath on the surface of the Fixed Star, his interface suddenly had a reaction. A series of mission completion notifications popped up. Only then did he know that the secret war had ended.
With a thought, he connected his brain to the quantum network and instantly found the news of Bloodshed Land retreating. Han Xiao's eyes sparkled, and he smiled.
"Looks like Zoel has fulfilled the agreement and convinced Klent much faster than I thought …"
Klent was quite decisive in making Bloodshed Land retreat. However, Han Xiao knew that Klent would definitely be unhappy. They would not dare to be unhappy with the Red Empire, and they would most likely transfer their hatred to him. This was something that could not be helped.
In order to make up for Klent's hurt feelings, the Red Empire would definitely have made a deal with them behind the scenes. However, he did not know the exact details.
Han Xiao did not care about offending Klent. While the two of them were allies in name, they had fought for ten years, and the accumulated hatred could not be resolved so easily. Not only did Klent hate him, but he also remembered the countless assassinations that Klent had committed in the past ten years. He was also unhappy with them and would not give face to his enemies.
Glancing at the mission reward, Han Xiaoxin could not help but be overjoyed.
His ten years of hard work for the secret war had not been in vain. This time, he had not made a loss. The reward for an S rank mission was indeed generous!
Even to him, who was rich in leeks, six billion experience was not too little. Furthermore, the five Random Rewards were more than the three Random Rewards he had received from the [Bloodline] mission.
One Star Cluster Legendary Point was not bad either. Together with the three Star Field Legendary Points he had obtained from the battle with the Tyrant, the amount of experience he could give to the players had almost doubled!
The two Political Assets were the biggest reward. These things were extremely rare and could only be obtained from extremely difficult missions. The efficiency of obtaining experience had increased by another forty-five percent. Together with the thirty percent from Godora's Political Assets, it was equivalent to him permanently activating the 1.75 Times Experience Card!
After becoming a Beyond Grade A, the experience requirement to level up had increased by a level. With the increase from the Political Assets, the efficiency of harvesting leeks would greatly increase. After the experience penalty of more than ten months, he should be able to accumulate a large amount of experience to level up.
The [Secret War] Dungeon that was created was a byproduct of the Main Storyline Mission. Just like the [Six Nations and Germinal Organization] Dungeon, he could cut out the battle scenes he had personally experienced during the ten years of the secret war to form a Dungeon Crystal.
Han Xiao immediately thought of another use for the Dungeon Crystal.
The players only participated in the final phase of the secret war. The previous ten years of war were just a background introduction to the version for them. Maybe I can use the Dungeon Mode to show the players the war that the Black Star Corps experienced in the past ten years, allowing them to personally experience the rise of the army and understand the history of the army. This will be beneficial for strengthening the sense of belonging the players to the faction …
After thinking for a while, Han Xiao felt that this idea was feasible, and a series of ideas appeared in his mind.
I can also give them an honorary title within the army, only given to the players who participated in the secret war. This will prove that they have witnessed the rise of the army and let the newcomers know that they are veterans. In the future, they will be able to enjoy a permanent discount within the army, which will help retain the players …
Thinking of this, Han Xiao could not help but open the players' forums.
He had obtained the Main Storyline Mission of the secret war ten years in advance, so it was inevitable that he would receive a high rating. Furthermore, the final victory of the secret war would also increase the mission rating. Not only him, but all the players of the Black Star Corps would benefit!
Han Xiao wanted to see how the players would react to this.

(Thinking about it, the topic is a little sensitive, so it's better to explain. The rise of the Silver Revolutionary Army was due to many factors. I've written about a leader with great ambition before, but this time, I'll change it. I'll just hate him.)
