The dynasty's Beyond Grade As returned to the Shattered Star Ring from the Flickering World through the dynasty's stargate network in the Dawn Star Cluster. After another period of travel, Han Xiao brought Milizaus and the others to the Colton Star Cluster, the headquarters of the Black Star Corps.
While they were on their way, the Red Empire and the Arcane Church had a confrontation at the border of the Central Galaxy, and the situation was extremely tense.
On the Shattered Star Ring's side, the dynasty's troops at the edge of the Flickering World went to investigate the secret stargate exit that Han Xiao had located, but it was already empty.
When they heard this news, they knew that it was mainly the work of the search fleet and intelligence personnel. There was not much they could do, so they could only wait for the dynasty to summon them.
In the spaceship, Han Xiao, Milizaus' Spell Avatar, Beyoni, and Maximiler gathered together and looked at the majestic Black Star Corps headquarters outside the porthole.
Battleships took off and landed on the enormous planetary fortress one after another. Machines covered the surface of the planet, and metal fortresses lined up neatly.
The fleet landed at the dock, and the army officers at the headquarters received the news long ago and came out to welcome them.
Opening the hatch, Han Xiao and the others walked out of the spaceship. In front of them was a black mass of people. The army soldiers were lined up in rows and bowed in unison. The sound of the wind caused by their actions was uniform, and the slogan they shouted together had a buzzing sound.
"Army Commander!"
Seeing this, Han Xiao's movements paused. He was a little confused.
Why did they make it so solemn? It was like a military parade, but he did not give the order to do so.
The army officers stood at the front of the crowd, and Sylvia gave Lagi a push.
As the deputy commander, Lagi helplessly stepped forward, cleared his throat, and said with a voice that was not so dispirited, "Ahem, welcome back, Army Commander."
Han Xiao's eyelids twitched. "What are you guys doing? It's only been a few months. Why are you guys so solemn?"
Herlous stepped forward and whispered, "Sylvia said that the entire universe knows that you defeated a Beyond Grade A Supers in a head-on battle. This is a good opportunity to boost the cohesion of the army members …"
There was another reason he didn't mention. When Sylvia found out that Han Xiao had invited other empire allies to visit the headquarters, she purposely created such a scene to boost Han Xiao's reputation.
Of course, Lagi felt that this was unnecessary, but in the end, he couldn't dissuade Sylvia and allowed her to create a military parade. In front of the administrative officer who was in charge of handling all kinds of affairs in the army, Lagi, the lazy vice commander, didn't have any face at all. He was basically an unlucky mascot.
Han Xiao did not really like this kind of superficial arrangement, and he did not need the army to support his face, but he did not care about this small matter. Since he had delegated the authority, he had to allow others to have their own ideas. He changed the topic and ordered, "Arrange rooms for these three sirs."
"It's been arranged long ago." Sylvia nodded.
This time, Lagi sighed and said, "I heard that Austin intervened in this incident and caused the Forbidden Sorcerers to suffer heavy losses. I wonder if that's true?"
"Yes." Han Xiao nodded.
"Sigh, some familiar faces have disappeared again. Luckily, I jumped ship …" Lagi shook his head and said listlessly, "But there's no point in talking about this. In a few more years, the materials that make up our bodies will rot, and we will all turn into dust in the universe …"
"Alright, I know we're all dust. You can shut up." Han Xiao interrupted Lagi's habitual depression.
After stopping Lagi from embarrassing himself, Han Xiao turned to look at Milizaus and the others.
"I still have some errands to deal with. You guys go and rest first. If you need anything, just ask the administrative officer. I'll look for you guys later."
"Okay."
Milizaus and the other two did not have any objections. They were in someone else's territory, so they had to abide by etiquette and follow the arrangements.
After sending the three of them into the headquarters, Han Xiao went to the office to meet all the officers and asked them about the recent affairs.
Now that the army was on the right track, coupled with the deterrence of this leader, no organization in the Shattered Star Ring dared to provoke them.
Furthermore, due to the expansion of the Black Star Corps, the galactic pirates and scavengers all hurriedly avoided the army's area of influence, which improved the security of many regions.
When it was the Logistics Department's turn, Reynold finished his report meticulously. After hearing it, Han Xiao did not ask him about the army's affairs but about Nero's learning situation.
"He's very talented, and his learning speed is very fast. No matter how many theory books I gave him, he could finish them all."
He was probably forced to finish them, right?
Han Xiao's mouth twitched, and he observed two seconds of silence for Nero before asking, "Where's he?"
"Outside the door." Reynold went out and brought Nero in.
After not seeing him for a period of time, Nero had changed a lot. He had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and he looked sleepy as though he was always sleepy.
When Nero saw Han Xiao, he was no longer as lively as before and only stared at him with a blank expression.
"Hello, godfather."
"You …"
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Han Xiao felt his scalp ache.
Reynold, you're the devil! Look at how you've tormented this child!
Han Xiao thought to himself, It seems like I have to hide Nero well and not let any players come into contact with him. Otherwise, those chaotic and evil players might be able to trigger missions like 'Assassinate Reynold' from Nero.
Shaking his head, Han Xiao asked Nero to come in front of him and lightly poked him. He then looked at Nero's attributes.
"Wait a minute, this is …"
After looking at it, Han Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes!
In Nero's talent column, a talent that was not there before had appeared. It was [Intermediate Mechanical Sense]!
My guess was right! Nero has the Advanced Luck Glow and has the qualifications to obtain Molding Talents. He can even learn Mechanical Sense related talents!
Although it was only [Intermediate Mechanical Sense], if Nero continued to learn like this, he might really have a chance to learn Reynold's [Perfect Mechanical Sense]!
Han Xiao had almost given up on the stubborn Reynold. Now that there was a new breakthrough, he was extremely excited!
With that thought, Han Xiao rubbed Nero's head and said with concern, "Your complexion is too bad. Are you too tired from studying?"
Nero secretly glanced at Reynold, and his small body trembled slightly. "No, I'm not tired …"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Just speak the truth."
Looking at Han Xiao's kind eyes, Nero pursed his lips and felt a surge of courage surging into his heart. He thought of the great people who fought against DarkStar in the history books. Wherever there was oppression, there would be resistance. He finally could not hold it in and loudly complained about the crimes of 'Demon King' Reynold.
"Godfather, he … he doesn't treat me as a human at all. Is so much homework for a human to do? I sleep less than three hours a day, and it affects my growth. I-I'm still a child! "
Han Xiao looked at Reynold and snorted. "Is there such a thing?"
Reynold had a solemn expression. "Since the Army Commander has handed Nero to me, I will not let you down. I will definitely nurture him into a Mechanic Master!"
"Sigh, I know that your intentions are good, but you have to be careful of your methods." Han Xiao shook his head.
Hearing that, Nero's eyes regained their luster, and a surge of hope appeared in his heart.
Godfather is speaking up for me!
Could it be that … my hellish life is finally going to end today?
He was so excited that he was trembling. Boundless desire surged into his heart like a person who was about to die of thirst seeing an oasis in the desert.
At this moment, in Nero's eyes, Han Xiao's entire body seemed to be emitting a holy light.
At this time, Han Xiao took out a bottle filled with Astral Spirit Dragon Blood. This was Milizaus' blood, which he had collected on the battlefield. He then said to Reynold, "Don't worry.
He then said to Reynold, "Give this dragon blood to Yi Yeqing and let her research a gentle physique strengthening medicine."
The next moment, Han Xiao turned around and stared at Nero with a smile.
"Reynold didn't consider it thoroughly … Without a good body, how can you study properly? Using this dragon blood to create medicine can replenish your nutrients and refresh your mind. No matter how late you sleep, it won't affect your growth. Don't worry and follow Reynold. You have to study well. "
Nero's smile froze on his face, and his eyes slowly widened.
In his eyes, the holy light on Han Xiao's body turned into the black aura of a demon in the blink of an eye. His godfather's smile was filled with malice, just like the smile of a demon.
Two bubbles of hot tears gushed out of his tear glands. They were contained in his eyes, almost overflowing like a dam bursting.
Nero cried. His cries were heart-wrenching and extremely tragic. It could be said that those who heard it would be heartbroken and those who heard it would shed tears.
Godfather is also a demon!
Boohoo … Daddy, Mommy, I don't want to come to the universe anymore. I want to go home!
Upon hearing this, Reynold's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a look of approval.
As expected of my beloved Army Commander, you're also an evil person.
Han Xiao told Sylvia to bring Nero to the side to comfort him. It was a pity that Rossellin had gone to cause trouble, or she would have been able to recover easily.
Following which, he used a blank Character Summon Card on Reynold to replenish the number of times he could use [Perfect Mechanical Sense]. Unlike the mission reward, the blank Character Summon Card usually only had one use.
He did not know how long it would take for Nero to learn [Perfect Mechanical Sense]. After the battle on Planet Lighthouse, Han Xiao had always been on guard. He was worried that the Arcane Church would act out of desperation, so he always prepared his trump cards.
…
After dealing with the internal affairs, Han Xiao went to find Milizaus and the others, bringing them to tour the army headquarters. He also contacted Tarrokov to discuss the dynasty's pursuit.
The dynasty's fleet in the desolate universe belt of the Shattered Star Ring was smaller than the Flickering World. Furthermore, the enemy had used a secret stargate to jump through, so the dynasty was unable to set up a blockade in advance. Making use of this short period of time, Sagman and the others escaped from the dynasty's eyes and escaped to the Shattered Star Ring.
"According to the spatial folds they left behind, I believe that Sagman and the other three have split up, which will make our search more difficult." Tarrokov's projection floated beside the four of them.
"When they enter the Shattered Star Ring, it will be like a drop of water entering the ocean," Beyoni said with sparks flying out of his mouth.
"Yes, Her Excellency thinks so too." Tarrokov nodded. "Furthermore, according to reliable intelligence, in order to save these four Beyond Grade As, the Arcane Church has already activated the spies they have planted in the Shattered Star Ring for many years. Universal Civilizations have spies in every Star Field, and there are quite a number of them. They disguise themselves as people from various industries and are extremely difficult to see through. With their help, the chances of Sagman and the others escaping will be much higher."
"Spies in hiding … If we can get the list of spies, we can track them down." Han Xiao stroked his chin and pondered.
"That's impossible." Tarrokov shook his head. "Such a list is usually stored in the main database of a Universal Civilization and is maintained by a Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic. The firewall is extremely strong, and it's impossible to infiltrate."
"Did those spies not contact their superiors?"
"The spies of a Universal Civilization report directly to the intelligence bureau. A simple encrypted command is enough to make them lie low for ten years. They don't have any superiors."
"If that's the case, then forget it." Han Xiao shook his head and dispelled this thought.
"Although the difficulty of capturing them has greatly increased, we can't give up halfway," Tarrokov said. "Furthermore, we have also obtained an unexpected reward. We have implicated the Arcane Church's spy network, so we can try to uproot them and eradicate the Arcane Church's plans in the Shattered Star Ring, destroying their many years of work! If they want to redeploy their spies, it will take at least a few decades. "
"Hmm, that's good. In terms of probability, instead of chasing after four extremely agile Beyond Grade As, we might as well eliminate the spies of the Arcane Church," Maximiler said. He was a tall and steady Mechanic.
After capturing two Beyond Grade A captives, including Milizaus, they were already satisfied with such a result.
They were worried that the Arcane Church would lose even more Beyond Grade As and turn into a large-scale assassination of each other's Beyond Grade As.
This was not unprecedented. At the end of the exploration era, more than a thousand years ago, there was a historical event known as the 'Saint Menason Incident'.
At that time, the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations were not the same people as they were now. The cause of this incident was that an important Beyond Grade A of the Radiant Federation named 'Saint Menason' was attacked by two Beyond Grade As of the dynasty. Their goal was to snatch the Universal Treasure in Saint Menason's hands. During the escort process, the Radiant Federation gathered more Beyond Grade As and intercepted them midway to snatch back the Universal Treasure, killing the two dynasty Beyond Grade As.
The two dynasty Beyond Grade As who died had many friends, and this became the fuse that led to the subsequent events.
Because of this incident, the Radiant Federation and the Red Empire blamed each other politically and should have ended the matter without a conclusion.
However, nine months later, the dynasty's Beyond Grade As secretly joined forces, went to another Star Field, and massacred the headquarters of three Radiant Federation allied Beyond Grade A organizations. Two Beyond Grade As of the Radiant Federation were killed, and only one of them managed to escape because he was out. During this period, the blood brother of a Beyond Grade A from the Arcane Church was a guest in the territory of the attacked party and died in the aftermath.
Therefore, the Arcane Church was also dragged into the water, and the large-scale assassination of Beyond Grade As named 'Tragedy of the Pinnacles' began. The three Universal Civilizations frequently assassinated each other's Beyond Grade As, and the more people died, the more uncontrollable the situation became. This was because in the eyes of the civilizations, Beyond Grade As were strategic weapons. If their own Beyond Grade As died, they would not allow other Beyond Grade As to survive. Furthermore, under the influence of blood feuds and the attitude of their allies, the three Universal Civilizations were unable to resolve the conflict between the Beyond Grade As and could only bite the bullet and fight against the Beyond Grade As.
In the 'Tragedy of the Pinnacles' incident, many Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations were sacrificed. The turning point of this incident was what the three Universal Civilizations called the 'Saint Menason Incident' and the death of the Arcane Church's Beyond Grade A brothers. In fact, there was a mastermind behind it, which was the Supercluster Civilizations at that time. The three Universal Civilizations claimed that they had solid intelligence and were certain that these Supercluster Civilizations were fanning the flames behind the incident to make them lose their Beyond Grade As.
Then, under their tacit understanding, the three Universal Civilizations shifted the conflict and slaughtered all the Beyond Grade A allies of the Supercluster Civilizations. Only then did this bloody 'Tragedy of the Pinnacles' incident come to an end.
At that time, about half of the Beyond Grade As in the universe had died. Under the tide, some of the Beyond Grade As who remained neutral were not able to stay out of it and were forced to join the three Universal Civilizations.
As for whether or not the mastermind behind it was the Supercluster Civilizations, only the three Universal Civilizations knew. Anyway, that was what was written in the history books.
The Beyond Grade As had died, but the civilizations still existed. Although compared to the exploration era, the three Universal Civilizations had been much gentler since the Galaxy Calendar, most people did not wish to see history repeat itself. After that incident, the chances of Beyond Grade As being sacrificed decreased significantly.
Tarrokov smiled and said, "Don't worry.
Even if we can't catch Sagman and the others, we still have a target that we can't escape from. "
"It's Sisko, right?" Han Xiao also smiled.
The Star Pupil Race was in the Shattered Star Ring, and Sisko could not run away. Even if the dynasty abided by the 'Peace Treaty' and did not do anything to the Star Pupil Race, Sisko could not possibly stay away forever. Sisko must be very regretful about this.
If he had successfully killed Han Xiao, gotten rid of this huge threat, and taken back the Evolution Cube, even if the dynasty held him accountable, Sisko would have the protection of the Arcane Church, and he would not be in such a passive position.
As for now, the word 'tragic' was carved on Sisko's face.
Han Xiao only had one thought about Sisko's current situation.
It's hopeless. Move.
