Han Xiao did not immediately contact the Gulal Civilization. The banquet was still going on, and he could not afford to neglect these guests.
After returning to the banquet, Han Xiao collected quite a number of contact details. Relaxing times always passed quickly, and the banquet soon came to an end. Many guests bade farewell and left the venue.
Han Xiao saw Ceselin's figure in the crowd. Ceselin's footsteps were hurried, but his expression remained the same. Revealing his cards to Han Xiao this time was akin to cutting off all means of retreat for him.
However, Han Xiao did not intend to report to the party of a Star System civilization. He was, after all, a Beyond Grade A, and he had no obligation to report to these people.
The guests left one after another, and the mechanical waiters came to clean up the mess.
This was the first year of the Evolution Banquet, and its influence was limited. If they wanted to compete with the Tyrant's Party, they would need to make a name for themselves in the Shattered Star Ring for the various civilizations to form a habit of attending every year.
After leaving the venue, Han Xiao did not stay idle. He met with the elites of the Red Empire alone. These people were more important, so they received special treatment. They did not talk about any serious matters and mainly chatted to get to know each other.
These elites all had different levels of influence in the dynasty, and making more friends would help him expand his network in the dynasty.
Because of the battle on Planet Lighthouse, Han Xiao's fame and status in the Red Empire had risen. He realized that the attitude of these elites toward him was even more respectful than before, and they no longer treated him as an ordinary Beyond Grade A ally.
Everyone chatted happily. After sending off the elites of the dynasty, Han Xiao returned to his room and got Philip to contact the upper echelons of the Gulal Civilization's Ancient Emperor Party.
He did not reveal Ceselin's betrayal but said that Ceselin had already requested war employment and had completed the mission. Thus, he had called to discuss this matter.
The upper echelons of the Ancient Emperor Party did not suspect anything and proposed the remuneration. There were rewards, various military resources, mechanical materials, and other practical rewards, as well as long-term mining rights to more resource rich planets.
A normal galactic mercenary organization would only be able to obtain rewards such as the right to use military factories, military resource purchasing channels, and so on. However, the Black Star Army had a different background, so they were able to obtain things such as the right to mine resource planets, which normal mercenary groups could not obtain.
As expected, the Gulal Civilization's civil war was indeed a series of missions. After contacting the Ancient Emperor Party, an S Rank mission popped up on his interface. It was different from the Pioneer Party's' Flame of the Pioneer 'mission. This mission was called' Upholding the Orthodoxy ', and the goal was to help the Ancient Emperor Party suppress the other parties and reclaim their territories.
Without giving the Ancient Emperor Party a proper reply, Han Xiao ended the call and rubbed his chin.
"They're all S rank missions, so the rewards should be about the same. Hmm, perhaps there's a slight difference in the difficulty of the missions. For example, the Ancient Emperor Party is the strongest, so it's easier to suppress them. On the other hand, the Descendant Party is the weakest, so the rewards should be greater."
After thinking about it, Han Xiao got Philip to check on the current leader of the Pioneer Party. Ceselin was just an unexpected factor, and Han Xiao planned to directly contact the Pioneer Party.
The Gulal Civilization's military was divided, so the Pioneer Party had their own territory on the surface, and it was easy to find their number.
The call was quickly connected.
"You are …" The secretary's figure appeared on the screen, and before he could finish his sentence, he saw Han Xiao's appearance and was shocked. "Black Star?"
Han Xiao was too famous in the Shattered Star Ring, and while ordinary people might not recognize him, as an official of a Star System civilization, it was impossible for this secretary not to recognize this face. Han Xiao's call made him fall into disbelief.
"Connect me to the leader of your Pioneer Party," Han Xiao said calmly.
"Oh, oh, I'll connect you to the internal line immediately. You … no, please wait a moment," the secretary stammered. While they were not the ruling party, the leader of the Pioneer Party was not someone that ordinary people could meet as and when they wanted to. However, an important figure like Black Star was clearly an exception.
Not long after, the leader of the Pioneer Party came online, and the shock in his eyes could not be concealed. He had been waiting for an important call when he suddenly received the news that Black Star was calling. He was also shocked and had yet to recover from the shock.
Why would Black Star, who had never interacted with them before, suddenly look for them? And even specifically ask to meet him?
"Your Excellency Black Star, why … are you looking for me?" the leader of the Pioneer Party asked cautiously.
"I've also heard about the situation of your Gulal Civilization. Not long ago, the Ancient Emperor Party sent me a war mercenary request, wanting to borrow the strength of the Black Star Corps to eliminate the other parties. Are you aware of this matter?"
"Is this true?" The leader of the Pioneer Party's expression changed. It was not that he did not know about this matter. In fact, he had been waiting for the report from his spy. Their spy in the Ancient Emperor Party had heard some unusual movements and guessed that the other party wanted to seek external help. Now, this was confirmed by Black Star.
The leader of the Pioneer Party knew the severity of the matter and immediately panicked. However, he quickly reacted. If Black Star had accepted, why would he inform them? Why would Black Star call them?
With a flash of inspiration, the leader of the Pioneer Party thought that he understood the meaning behind Black Star's words. "Your Excellency Black Star, no matter what price the Ancient Emperor Party offered, we will double it. As long as the Black Star Corps is willing to assist us in overthrowing the Ancient Emperor Party, we will definitely not go back on our words."
Since the purpose of the visit had been made clear, there was no need for pleasantries. The leader of the Pioneer Party went straight to the point. He truly desired the assistance of the Black Star Corps, but before today, he had never thought about it. The Ancient Emperor Party had only been in contact with the Black Star Corps for roughly a year, and it was only limited to business cooperation. On the other hand, the Pioneer Party had never interacted with the Black Star Corps before.
Damn, he's treating me as a warmonger … Han Xiao's brows twitched. However, from the perspective of the leader of the Pioneer Party, this was indeed the case. After all, the leader of the Pioneer Party knew nothing about Ceselin.
Thinking about it, Han Xiao was not interested in exposing Ceselin. After all, this fellow had brought him a mission, and before he took the initiative to betray him, he would just let him hide his achievements and reputation.
After pondering for a moment, under the nervous gaze of the leader of the Pioneer Party, Han Xiao slowly nodded his head.
"Alright, let's do that. When the time comes, I'll get someone to look for you to sign an employment contract."
With that, he hung up the call.
Looking at the black screen, the leader of the Pioneer Party slumped into his chair and fell into a daze. He felt as though he was dreaming.
Without any warning, he had obtained the help of a major organization like the Black Star Corps in less than a few minutes of discussion?
At this moment, he deeply experienced the terrifying power of the Black Star Army, which could decide the life and death of others with just a thought. With a huge external force like the Black Star Army, the stalemate of the Gulal Civilization for many years finally welcomed a turning point.
"Could it be that Black Star is really doing this for the sake of being a warmonger? There doesn't seem to be a need for him to do this. "At this moment, the leader of the Pioneer Party had doubts.
The Black Star clearly had no relationship with the Pioneer Party, so why would he suddenly choose them?
"There must be a reason behind this that I don't know …"
The leader of the Pioneer Party had a gloomy expression.
However, since Black Star did not say anything, he had forgotten to ask, and it was not appropriate to ask now. The leader of the Pioneer Party did not want to be kept in the dark. He decided to slowly investigate what had happened in a place that he did not know. Someone must have done something to cause Black Star to take the initiative to look for him.
On the other side, Han Xiao put away his communicator. This small episode had come to an end for him. He only needed to wait for the Pioneer Party to sign an employment contract with the army's mercenary department before sending out a faction mission. The rest would be the matter of the players and army members. This was equivalent to pulling a project for the army players to do, and he did not need to pay attention to the rest.
Choosing to help the Pioneer Party had nothing to do with Ceselin. Among the three parties, the Pioneer Party was relatively better. Only when one's own interests were protected would one have the right to do good deeds. This had always been his motto.
On the other hand, the Pioneer Party seemed more righteous, and many players liked this. This was another pursuit of the players other than their own interests.
Therefore, under these considerations, the Ancient Emperor Party and the more extreme Descender Party were eliminated. Helping a relatively righteous party would help increase the players' sense of identity toward the army. At the very least, it would not cause any disgust from the players.
…
A few days later, the elites of the various civilizations left the Black Star Corps headquarters one after another.
The spaceship of the Gulal Civilization left the port and headed into space. Ceselin looked at the Black Star Corps until it disappeared from his sight, and he could not hide the disappointment on his face.
Two days ago, the leader of the Ancient Emperor Party had specially contacted him and praised his contributions. He said that Black Star had already contacted them and believed that they would receive the assistance of the Black Star Corps very soon.
"I wasn't able to convince Black Star … Pioneer Party …" Ceselin was depressed. He did not feel that he alone would be able to change the situation of the Pioneer Party.
Right at this moment, his comrade beside him suddenly exclaimed into the communicator.
"Look, the Pioneer Party just announced that they have reached an agreement with the Black Star Corps and are going to launch an all-out attack!"
"What?" Everyone on the ship was shocked and took out their communicators to check.
Ceselin's face was filled with astonishment, and he also took out his communicator to check. The more he read, the more agitated he became.
"This, this … How could this be? Could it be that my words … were really effective? "
Ceselin was so agitated that he could not control himself. His actions had really brought about a turnaround, allowing Black Star to make a different decision. If he had not taken this risk, Black Star would most likely have agreed to the Ancient Emperor Party's request and would not have had the time to understand the situation of the Gulal Civilization.
Regardless of what conditions the Pioneer Party had reached with Black Star, regardless of what Black Star was thinking, he had contributed greatly.
Just like two different tracks, he had pushed the wrench and caused fate to deviate from its original path.
Ceselin turned to look in the direction of the Black Star Corps. Although he knew that Black Star did not need his gratitude, he still had a look of gratitude on his face.
He was not sure if Black Star had exposed his identity or not, so he silently placed this matter in his heart. He felt that he had only done the right thing and did not intend to claim credit from the Pioneer Party.
…
In the Military Machinery Factory, Han Xiao released the faction mission that he had set up and opened the forums to take a look.
The players of the army were already very familiar with this kind of war employment. Every time, it represented a large-scale operation, and the players had always loved such big events.
This time, they were participating in a Star System level war to help a party eliminate a competitor. They had teammates on their side, and the opponent was not an entire Star System level civilization. The difficulty was just right for the current players. The army players were extremely interested and enthusiastically participated, calling for their friends on the forums.
After taking a few looks and confirming that there was no problem with the players' reactions, Han Xiao closed the forums. The players would do what they wanted, and he did not need to worry about them.
This Star System level war employment would probably last until the end of the version, and the players would have things to do for a long time.
"This way, I can have some free time to build my Mech Legion."
Han Xiao exhaled.
After the experience penalty period, he still had to deal with EsGod. Making him shut his mouth forever was the most important thing. Before that, Han Xiao decided to stay in the Military Machinery Factory and go into seclusion, no longer paying attention to all the miscellaneous matters in the outside world.
EsGod was already strong enough, and now that he had even evolved, his strength was unimaginably high.
Thinking about this, Han Xiao felt quite a bit of psychological pressure.
In order to kill this guy, he had to make a lot of preparations.
