Two days later, Han Xiao called a group of officers into his office and said that he was going to the Central Galaxy for a business trip.
Sylvia was dressed as a capable administrator. She nodded when she heard that, and her ponytail swayed.
"How long will you be gone for this time?"
"It depends on the dynasty's arrangements. They can only move after they gather enough manpower."
"Got it. I'll take care of the army's affairs. You don't have to worry," Sylvia said with a serious expression.
By the side, Hella raised her hand and brushed her red hair that covered one of her eyes. "I have some things to pack. When are we leaving?"
Han Xiao shook his head and waved at her.
"You don't have to go. I won't be bringing the Black Star Guards this time."
Hella paused. "Why?"
"Because I have to fight EsGod. You guys won't be able to help. Just stay in the Shattered Star Ring." Han Xiao smiled at her.
The Black Star Guards were the elite Calamity Grade combatants of the army. Their duty was to deal with those who were not worthy of him personally taking action. They would not be useful against EsGod and would be a burden to him. Thus, Han Xiao decided to go alone this time.
"… Got it." Hella snorted with dissatisfaction, turned around, and left the room, leaving everyone looking at her tall back.
It seemed to have stimulated her strong heart again …
Han Xiaoxin laughed in his heart. This was a good thing. The current Hella was different from the lunatic in his previous life. It would be good to give her some motivation.
"Sister is going to undergo devil training again." Aurora retracted her gaze and stared at Han Xiao's chiseled face with her blinking eyes, saying worriedly. "Will it be dangerous for you to go alone?"
"I'm just not bringing the Black Star Guards. I didn't say that I would go alone."
As he spoke, Han Xiao looked at Reynold with a smile.
"Hmm? Me? "Reynold pointed at himself with surprise.
"That's right, you. Stop pointing."
"But I still have to be in charge of the logistics department …" Reynold was confused and did not understand why Han Xiao would bring him along.
"Don't you feel bored staying in the logistics department every day? Let's go out for a walk. By the way, who's the deputy head of the logistics department? "
"A Calamity Grade Mechanic who joined a few years ago. This is his resume." Sylvia immediately pulled out the information.
In the past few years, the army had been developing by leaps and bounds, and Han Xiao already had many experts under him. The number of Calamity Grade Supers working for him had long exceeded the normal scale of a Star System civilization. Other than the Black Star Guards that had risen to fame in the Shattered Star Ring, the other Calamity Grade Supers were scattered in the various departments. They all had their own names in the universe, and the organizational structure of the army was constantly being refined.
Most of them were Calamity Grade Supers from outside, such as Hardaway, Lagi, and other experts. There were fewer Calamity Grade Supers trained by the army, such as Herlous, Sylvia, and Reynold.
Han Xiao flipped through it casually and asked, "Is there any record of him cutting corners, taking kickbacks, accepting bribes, or selling army blueprints?"
"No, if there was, I would have reported it to you long ago …" Sylvia was sweating profusely.
You're a Beyond Grade A Virtual Mechanic. You probably even know the size of my underwear. What can I hide from you at home?
"Then, I'll leave the logistics department to him for now." Han Xiao kept the information, turned to look at Reynold, and said with a smile, "Nero is still a child. Studying at your place every day will leave a shadow in his heart. Bring him along this time and take him on a trip to Planet Crimson Ring … Of course, a trip is a trip, but he can't stop studying."
Reynold was enlightened. Alright, His Excellency Black Star mainly wanted to bring Nero on a trip, but he did not want his godson to have a vacation, so he brought him along as well.
Sylvia instantly felt sour.
I'm also His Excellency Black Star's student, and I'm even his first follower. Why is Teacher biased toward Reynold? I can be Nero's teacher too!
I want to have a vacation too, you bastard!
"Don't worry, when I go out to fight EsGod, you guys stay on Planet Crimson Ring. You don't have to go with me, so there won't be any danger." Han Xiao then looked at Fu Ding. "You can come with me too. You can take care of Nero too."
"Sure." Fu Ding smiled. "Nero should be very happy."
I don't know if he'll be happy or not, but I'm pretty happy …
Han Xiaoxin chuckled.
The main reason he brought along Fu Ding and Nero was because he believed in metaphysics. After all, dealing with EsGod was extremely difficult, and bringing along two Advanced Protagonists might increase the success rate of the mission.
With two Advanced Luck Auras, it was better than having an unlucky guy like him acting alone.
Han Xiao agreed to set off in two hours before announcing the end of the meeting.
Everyone left, and Hardaway dragged Lagi, who was dozing off, out of the room as though he was throwing away a bag of trash.
After the meeting ended, Reynold immediately returned to the Logistics Department to hand over the work to the deputy chief. He then returned to his office and opened the door to the cubicle.
In the cubicle was Nero, who was doing his homework mechanically, pecking his little head.
He had drunk the Dragon Blood Potion and was awake, so he did not feel sleepy at all. It was as though he was imitating the way he dozed off during Blue Star's lessons to wake up his' sleepiness'.
After checking Nero's homework, a look of satisfaction appeared on Reynold's face. Although he was only teaching Nero according to Han Xiao's orders at the start, he grew to like this student more and more during the process of teaching him. He could see his own shadow in Nero.
Although Nero wasn't as passionate about mechanical engineering as him, he was also hardworking. Nero had a strong point, and that was that he never slacked off. Even if the amount of homework left him in despair, Nero would still complete it seriously. This was the kind of student that Reynold liked.
After all, the Mechanic class was different from the other classes. Knowledge was power, and the stronger the foundation, the smoother the growth would be. Reynold was rather optimistic about Nero's future.
With Reynold's personality, he obviously would not say it out loud. He coughed and said, "Stop doing it. Pack your things. The Army Commander wants to bring you to the Central Galaxy for a vacation."
Nero's stupefied eyes suddenly came to life, bursting with excitement and joy.
"Godfather wants to bring me out to play! Hahaha … I finally don't have to do my homework anymore! "
Nero threw down his pen and was so excited that he was about to cry.
Godfather still dotes on me!
The slight resentment in Nero's heart instantly disappeared, and he was overjoyed. He almost wanted to open his arms and praise Black Star … ah, no, praise his godfather.
"Quickly pack your things. We will be setting off in a while. We still have to gather at the dock."
Nero paused and turned his head mechanically. "Wait, we …?"
"The Army Commander wants me to go with you to supervise your studies." Reynold was expressionless.
Nero's happy expression froze on his face.
…
Han Xiao waited for a while at the private dock, and Fu Ding was the first to arrive. The two of them chatted for a while before Reynold and Nero arrived.
Nero was carrying a small backpack. He was listless and looked as if he had nothing to live for.
"Since everyone is here, let's set off."
Han Xiao brought everyone onto the spaceship, and after making some adjustments, he let Philip take over and enter autopilot mode.
The spaceship took off and entered space. After setting the destination as the Red Empire's military stargate in the Shattered Star Ring, it quickly switched to hyperdrive mode and began their journey.
They had been to the Central Galaxy once last year, so this time, it was a walk in the park.
After flying for a while, they successfully arrived at the military stargate. Through the stargate, they directly crossed a few Star Fields and teleported to the Crimson Ring Star System in the Constellation Corridor. Under the guidance of the reception team, they passed through the Psionic Seal Ring and arrived at the dynasty's mother planet, Planet Crimson Ring.
"This is the capital of the Crimson Dynasty …" Reynold looked at the habitable satellites, large space fortresses, and orbital stations around Planet Crimson Ring, admiring the mechanical structures on them.
"How majestic." Nero looked at Planet Crimson Ring in a daze. This was much more majestic than his hometown, Blue Star.
The group slowly landed, and the dynasty's emissary was already waiting at the dock. He respectfully bowed to Han Xiao and brought everyone into the core political area, Tarunamir Palace, to settle down in the official guest house.
This was the legendary capital of a Universal Civilization, and Nero was curious about everything. If not for his godfather, he might not have been able to come here in his entire life.
The emissary was full of smiles. "Your Excellency Black Star, I'm in charge of the daily affairs of your group. You can look for me if you need anything."
"Hmm, then bring them around. The dynasty's mother planet is huge, so bring them to all the fun places," Han Xiao said.
"Godfather, are you not coming with us?"
"I still have something to do and need to meet the Dynasty Ruler."
Han Xiao waved his hand and instructed the few of them not to wander around. He then headed straight to the core administrative building where Uranril was. He had already informed her beforehand, and Uranril was waiting to meet him.
He brushed his face along the way and arrived at the Ruler's office very quickly.
The secretary knocked on the door, and Uranril's voice sounded from within.
"Please come in."
The door opened, and Han Xiao walked in.
This was his second time meeting the Ruler, and just like the first time, there was only Uranril and Clottey in the room.
"Black Star, you're here. Please take a seat." Uranril nodded.
Han Xiao nodded, and just as he sat down, Uranril spoke again.
"You contributed greatly during the battle on Planet Lighthouse. You did well."
Previously, she had only praised him through long-distance communication, but this time, Uranril praised him in person.
"I only did a little bit of work." Han Xiao suddenly realized that this sentence was really useful.
"You're too humble. The dynasty has always rewarded those who contribute. Perhaps you already know that we will provide you with additional resources and give you preferential treatment in the division of the Flickering World."
Uranril paused for a moment before slowly saying, "I can give you a hint. After the first phase of development is completed, we will build various infrastructures in the three Star Clusters. At that time, we will first allocate some territories to some of our allies and operate transit stations, colonial planets, trade planets, and civilian stargates. You can make a request regarding the division of territories, and I will consider your opinion."
Han Xiao raised his brows. This means that I will be allowed to choose the first territory, right? This is not only because of my contribution but also because of the olive branch that the Ruler's faction threw out.
The development of a new Star Field was a long-term plan, and the dynasty was not in a hurry. After the exploration, they would build roads. They would first operate the explored areas before slowly exploring the other Star Clusters. In the future, more Star Clusters would be unlocked, and the various allies would naturally receive more than one territory.
This was a good thing for Han Xiao. After the first phase was completed, he would be able to obtain a territory. At that time, he would be able to officially develop a mechanical life civilization and move the Black Spirit Race over.
He would have much more freedom in his own territory than in the Shattered Star Ring. That was the territory that truly belonged to him, and he would not need to share it with other Star System civilizations.
"I'm looking forward to it." Han Xiao smiled.
"Hmm, let's get back to business. The dynasty recruited you this time mainly for two things. You know that. First, the dynasty agreed to some conditions of the Arcane Church and unsealed the Spacetime Amber of one of their Beyond Grade As. Therefore, we need your help."
Han Xiao nodded to express that he understood.
"The second thing is to encircle and eliminate EsGod. This is also related to the first thing. The Arcane Church will only agree to join this operation if one of the seals is unsealed."
Hearing this, Han Xiao was slightly surprised.
The Arcane Church is also going to join the … cough, attack?
He had not received this news before and was surprised to hear it for the first time.
"Isn't it just the Radiant Federation? The Arcane Church is …"
"This is my idea. You dragged the Radiant Federation into the water, and I also called the Arcane Church. They are willing to join us in encircling and eliminating EsGod."
Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised. This was a pleasant surprise. With the Arcane Church joining in as well, the three Universal Civilizations would have a greater chance of eliminating EsGod!
He pretended to ponder for a while before smiling. "Originally, it was just us. Now that the three Universal Civilizations are working together, it saves us a lot of energy."
"Not only that, it's also because of you."
"Me?"
"Hmm, the dynasty can feel your killing intent toward EsGod. We're doing this to fulfill your wish."
Han Xiao was a little flattered.
Does this mean … my suggestion did influence the Red Empire's decision?
"You're an important ally of the dynasty. Of course, we value your opinion." Uranril paused for a while before continuing. "Let's end our conversation here. I still have some matters to attend to. The Arcane Church's team escorting the sealed Beyond Grade As has yet to arrive, and the three parties have yet to gather. You can stay on Planet Crimson Ring for a while. I'll inform you of the details of the operation."
"Okay."
Han Xiao understood that she wanted him to leave and secretly curled his lips.
It seemed like the Dynasty Ruler was really busy. Li Wanji was going to be f * cked again …
He stood up and left the Ruler's office.
The door closed behind him, and Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. He was extremely excited.
Originally, the Red Empire was just going through the motions to deal with EsGod. He was the one who made the three Universal Civilizations work together!
It was only with his help that the current situation was formed. Furthermore, the situation was even better than he had expected. The three Universal Civilizations were encircling and suppressing EsGod together.
His determination to eliminate EsGod was valued by the dynasty. This definitely had the effect of his Political Assets, which changed the Ruler's decision.
The influence that he had accumulated over the years finally came into play!
"It's finally my turn to return the favor, EsGod." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
