The ruling planet of the Pioneer Party was located in the third Star Zone that they controlled, and the upper echelons of the party were paying attention to the development of the battle.
In the conference room, the upper echelons of the Pioneer Party were gathered, and the atmosphere was completely different from the gloomy atmosphere of the Ancient Emperor Party. Everyone's faces were filled with joy, and the leader of the Pioneer Party was in high spirits.
The army had gained the upper hand in the battle, and there was no way they could not be happy.
"The Ancient Emperor Party and the Descendant Party have been forced to retreat, and the people are looking forward to us overthrowing their rule. The current situation is extremely advantageous for us," the strategist said.
The leader of the Pioneer Party had a smile on his face, but he said, "At such a time, we have to be more careful and prevent the enemy from retaliating."
The situation was great, but he knew that it was impossible for the Ancient Emperor Party to surrender. The side that had lost the military would definitely be exterminated, and the Ancient Emperor Party would not allow themselves to be slaughtered.
Just as everyone was discussing the situation, the internal communication device suddenly rang. It was a communication request from an intelligence officer.
The figure of the intelligence officer appeared on the virtual screen with a weird expression.
"Your Excellency, the Ancient Emperor Party has made a public announcement."
"Send it over immediately." The Pioneer Party leader's brows twitched.
Very quickly, the intelligence officer displayed the Ancient Emperor Party's announcement on the screen, and the upper echelons of the Pioneer Party read it carefully.
In the first half of the announcement, the Ancient Emperor Party claimed to be the rightful ruler of the Gulal Civilization and used fierce words to reprimand the Pioneer Party for seizing power. They labeled them as' traitors' and called them traitors of the civilization. They also called on the citizens to oppose the Pioneer Party and openly recruited helpers from the galaxy.
This part of the content was just a standard way to protect their rightful position and suppress their opponents. This method had been used for many years, and a portion of the citizens were not fools. The upper echelons of the Pioneer Party were also used to it and did not pay much attention to it. Now that they had control of the gun, they would be able to control the pen after winning. Thus, calling them 'traitors' was useless.
As for the Ancient Emperor Party's request for reinforcements, they felt that it was a futile effort. This was only a civil war, and it did not go against the Peace Treaty. With the Black Star Corps on their side, who in the Shattered Star Ring would go against the Black Star Corps for a civil war?
Mercenary groups of a certain scale would not help, and the other civilizations would only watch from the sidelines. Even the Bloodshed Land did not want to go against an ally for such a small matter. Thus, the Ancient Emperor Party was isolated without any help. This was the use of the Black Star Corps. Their powerful organization and the huge influence of the complicated web of benefits would cause the enemy to lack support.
The Pioneer Party leader patiently read to the end, but was suddenly stunned.
"Wait a minute … Is the Ancient Emperor Party seeking help from the Black Star Corps?"
The Pioneer Party leader rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly.
At the end of the announcement, the Ancient Emperor Party actually wanted to hire the Black Star Corps to betray them. Even now, they were still trying to convince the Black Star Corps to help them.
The upper echelons of the Pioneer Party looked at each other and could not understand what was going on.
What was the logic behind requesting help from the enemy?
Alright, the Black Star Corps might be external aid, but how could they suddenly break the contract? Wouldn't that be destroying their reputation? Furthermore, the Black Star Corps was a Beyond Grade A organization. Since they had already decided to help the Pioneer Party, how could they change their mind? Wouldn't that be slapping themselves in the face?
Even if you want to rope in the Black Star Army, you should at least do it in private. Black Star is a big shot with a reputation, so how can he agree to betray us in public? If he betrayed us, it would be impossible for him to betray us for the sake of money. Even if one used their flagella to think, they would know that this was impossible!
If the goal was to sow discord, then this method was too clumsy!
"… It seems like the Ancient Emperor Party has finally gone crazy." The Pioneer Party leader's mouth twitched. "This is probably the funniest joke I have ever heard."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone could not help but laugh, and the room was filled with joy.
…
Thanks to the development of the galactic media, the Ancient Emperor Party's announcement spread throughout the Gulal Civilization.
Not only the Pioneer Party, but even the Descendant Party was filled with question marks.
Is this teammate of mine an idiot?
The soldiers of the Ancient Emperor Party felt extremely embarrassed. They were fighting with their lives on the line, but their superiors had actually requested help from the enemy.
Many of them could feel the pessimism of the upper echelons of the Ancient Emperor Party, and their morale fell.
On the side of the Black Star Corps, many of them felt that this was ridiculous. At the same time, they found it funny.
We are in the middle of a war, so can you please be more serious? Don't make fun of us.
Just when the others were mocking the Ancient Emperor Party, the millions of army players received a different message.
The Ancient Emperor Party's request for help had actually generated a mission on their interface. It was the same mission that Han Xiao had triggered in the past. This time, it was an S rank mission to help the Ancient Emperor Party.
This change gave the players a shock.
"So this is a faction mission. It should be an S rank mission that can be triggered by helping any party."
"However, since the army is helping the Pioneer Party, we will also be helping the Pioneer Party by default."
"Woah, doesn't this mean that we can support the party we want? If we succeed, we will be able to change the structure of an entire Star System civilization. I seem to have found a way to get rich."
"What if we convince the NPCs to form a party and support them? Wouldn't that be more fun?"
The appearance of this mission aroused the interest of many army players, and they began to discuss it enthusiastically on the forums.
However, the impact of this new mission was only so, and none of the army players really accepted it.
The players were not stupid. If they wanted to complete this mission, they would have to go against the army, which was no different from leaving the faction. After fighting in the army for two to three versions, they had accumulated so many faction relationships and Contribution Points. How could they give up so easily? The Black Star Corps had such great growth potential, and betraying the army for a Star System civilization's civil war was not worth the loss.
Furthermore, based on the current situation, the chances of the Ancient Emperor Party winning were too slim, and the failure rate of the mission was 99.9%. They might as well wait for the Pioneer Party's mission. After all, it was also S rank.
Furthermore, after a month of employment, they had already understood the style of the three parties. The Ancient Emperor Party was not anything good and was even worse than the Pioneer Party. There was no point in helping them.
With Summer Night Flower setting an example, there were fewer and fewer gamblers in the Shattered Star Ring. Thus, the players were only interested in the details of the Ancient Emperor Party's mission and were not interested in the mission itself. No one wanted to do it.
…
Black Star Corps Headquarters, Army Commander's workshop.
Large automated production lines operated day and night, producing all sorts of mechanical soldiers and equipment. Mechanical Force flowed through them, increasing the quality and efficiency of the products.
In another area, all the freshly produced mechanical soldiers and equipment were sent over by the assembly line. Countless mechanical arms wrapped in Mechanical Force were modifying these products, sharing Han Xiao's enhancement skills.
When modifying his own combat machines, he naturally would not be like the players, who would split the enhancement effects into multiple batches to sell for money. Instead, he would enhance them all at once. After the modifications, the quality of the products would increase, and the effects would be outstanding. Even the cannon fodder robots were upgraded to orange grade.
At Han Xiao's level, these ordinary mechanical soldiers were only one of the tens of millions of cannon fodder. However, to the players, every single one of them was a top-notch mechanical soldier that could not be bought even if they wanted to.
Han Xiao stood in front of a control panel and personally assembled a new mechanical body. He hummed a tune and was in a good mood.
The smell of metal permeated the surroundings, and rumbling noises reverberated in his ears. Han Xiao was already used to the atmosphere of the workshop, and creating machines was a form of enjoyment. As his mechanical abilities continued to increase, Han Technician's love for mechanical engineering grew deeper and deeper, and the changes in his abilities could also change his interests.
For example, poor students would have to rack their brains to solve problems, which was a form of torture. As for straight-A students …
"Master, hum … I've discovered an interesting piece of news. Shall I read it to you?"
Philip projected a cartoon version of himself onto the control panel. It was only the size of a palm, and he sat on the edge of the control panel, swinging his legs, looking up at Han Xiao with his cute eyes, and speaking in a childish voice.
"Read it." Han Xiao did not look away and focused on hammering on the metal plate.
"It's news about the Gulal Civilization. The Ancient Emperor Party has publicly expressed that they hope that we will help them. Master, hum … what do you think they're thinking?"
"There's such a thing? Do they think that I'm as unprincipled as EsGod? "Han Xiao was amused.
"Eh?" Philip was shocked, and his eyes widened. "Isn't Master the same, hum …"
"… You also know how to joke."
Han Xiao's eyelids twitched, and he chuckled. Deciding to change the topic, he nodded and said, "While the Ancient Emperor Party's actions are unreasonable, it's understandable. If not for that traitor Ceselin, I wouldn't have any interactions with the Pioneer Party. They … eh?"
Right at this moment, Han Xiao's movements paused, and he suddenly recalled the series of missions given by the Ancient Emperor Party. He stopped what he was doing and opened the forums to take a look. His brows raised slightly.
The players were indeed discussing this matter on the forums, and many of them had posted screenshots of the Ancient Emperor Party's S rank missions. If he had not guessed wrongly, the Ancient Emperor Party's request for help had triggered the missions that he had seen before.
Han Xiao frowned and stroked his chin out of habit.
This matter seemed like the Ancient Emperor Party had lost their wits, but he felt that there was something strange about it.
"This illogical request for help …" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Is it targeted at the players?"
It was not that he was paranoid, but there was indeed a coincidence. The actions of the Ancient Emperor Party were too sudden, and what others saw as a joke was not a joke to the players but a trigger for a mission.
Was it due to luck, or was it done on purpose?
Han Xiao was a little hesitant. There were too few clues, and he could not be sure of his intuition. However, for the sake of caution, he would always consider the worst case scenario.
There was a reason for him to think this way. In his previous life, there had been a similar period. Under the scale of the universe, the players were insignificant existences. However, as the players continued to move around in the universe, the number of powerful galactic organizations paying attention to the players also increased. They slowly studied the habits, characteristics, and patterns of these 'immortals', just like the Germinal Organization back then.
Even in the current version, there were many galactic organizations paying attention to the players.
He had been operating in the Shattered Star Ring for many years, and his strength was high. No one dared to snatch his' trump card team ', but the situation of the players in the other Star Fields was different. It was not rare for them to attract the attention of some large organizations.
Of course, he was not the only one who was interested in recruiting the players.
Han Xiao was not too worried about this. The energy that the players had invested in the army over the past three versions was a sunk cost, and it would not be so easy for the leeks to be snatched away. Furthermore, ordinary NPCs would at most treat the players as a special force. The others did not have an interface and would not be able to obtain a large amount of experience from the players.
However, if there were really people who stole the leeks, it would be an infuriating matter.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed. "I originally planned to give the Gulal Civilization a mission, but it seems like I'll have to observe the situation. Don't tell me that someone has set their eyes on the players."
…
A mysterious fleet entered the border of the Gulal Civilization. This was the territory of the Ancient Emperor Party, and the troops of the Ancient Emperor Party were already waiting there to receive the reinforcements.
In the flagship, the Ancient Emperor Party leader looked at the star map and heaved a sigh of relief. "They're finally here."
That mysterious Beyond Grade A had promised to provide reinforcements, and this fleet was the first batch of reinforcements. The Ancient Emperor Party leader originally wanted to guess the identity of the Beyond Grade A through the background of the reinforcements, but when he saw the insignia of this fleet, he could not help but reveal a look of surprise.
This was a large armed organization in the Shattered Star Ring that was active in this Star Cluster. This organization was controlled by four Calamity Grade Supers, and one of them was even a Beyond Grade A seed many years ago. Thus, this organization was not small, and many people thought that they did not have a backer.
However, from the looks of it, the backer of this low-profile armed organization was an unknown Beyond Grade A?
Just which Beyond Grade A was this mysterious Beyond Grade A? Could it be that he had more than one subordinate organization in the Shattered Star Ring?
The Ancient Emperor Party leader suppressed the shock in his heart and ordered his troops to meet the other party.
With the reinforcements of this armed force, their situation would be much better.
The flagship of both parties met, and the projection of the Ancient Emperor Party leader saw the four Calamity Grade Supers of this armed organization.
"I am the leader of the Gulal Civilization. Thank you …"
The Beyond Grade A seed interrupted the Ancient Emperor Party leader and calmly said, "We will help you suppress the traitors. There is no need to thank us. We are only following orders."
The expression of the Ancient Emperor Party leader changed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he probed, "May I know who your orders are?"
At this moment, one of the members beside him was possessed by the mysterious person and said, "Don't ask for my name. There will be no next time, or the agreement will be voided."
The leader of the Ancient Emperor Party was startled, but he could only nod and promise.
After thinking for a while, he said, "We followed your suggestion, but there was no response from the Black Star Corps."
"Is that so?" The mysterious person was not surprised. "Failure is inevitable, and the pattern I concluded will not be effective every time. Thus, more observation and experimentation are required."
"However …" The mysterious person fell into deep thought. "It seems like Black Star is not just lucky. Like me, he also grasped some patterns."
