Deactivating the remote projection, Han Xiao's vision returned to the room. Before he could do anything, an emergency mission from the dynasty popped up on his interface. It was to accept the call to participate in the war against the Kunde Race.
The mission was to take the position of the Black Star Corps and follow the dynasty's orders to carry out all kinds of war missions. The format was similar to the secret war mission, and Han Xiao was not unfamiliar with it.
"According to the reward of the secret war mission, if I complete this mission with a high evaluation, there should be a high chance of obtaining Legendary Points, Political Assets, and the like, as well as creating a new dungeon … Oh right, my Contribution Points will also increase greatly."
Han Xiao stroked his chin and was not very sure. After all, in the secret war, Purple Crystal and Klent were equally matched, and the Kunde Race this time was just a slightly dangerous enemy to the dynasty. There was no suspense in getting rid of them, and the rewards might not be as high as the secret war.
However, he did not insist on it. His goal this time was to try and activate all kinds of missions from Nero.
Although he did not intend to take action personally, Han Xiao did not intend to slack off completely. He did not mind providing Virtual Technology support when the dynasty needed it. Furthermore, he had the advantage of being familiar with the map, and Han Xiao did not intend to hide it.
The map that he was talking about was not a star map. The astronomical observation equipment of a Universal Civilization was not bad, and the Crimson Dynasty had already drawn up a star map of the Flickering World before the first exploration phase. What they needed to explore was the details of the various aspects, such as the actual situation of each planet.
What Han Xiao was familiar with was the territory of the Kunde Race. This naturally would not be marked on the unexplored star map. In other words, with the support of his intelligence, the dynasty did not need to explore slowly but could directly enter the heart of the Kunde Race.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the dynasty believed in his intelligence. In terms of war, even if a Beyond Grade A had a high status, they would not be able to interfere with the orders of the dynasty. With regards to unconfirmed intelligence, be it the dynasty or the other advanced civilizations, they would all take a wait-and-see attitude.
Han Xiao didn't have much to worry about. He already had the title of a scammer, and he had Aesop, a famous old man at home. In addition, the Empire would also use a large number of prophets, so it wasn't a problem for him to release information.
However, in order to prevent those with ulterior motives from framing him for colluding with the Kunde Race, Han Xiao could not give the dynasty too detailed information. Although he could do whatever he wanted with his current position, he could always avoid unnecessary trouble by being more careful.
"A Star Cluster level war, huh. This is my second time participating, but it's different from the secret war …"
Han Xiao let out a sigh of relief.
The secret war was a proxy war. Although the scale was rather large, there was no concern for the survival of the race. This time, however, they were about to face a Star Cluster Civilization that was going all out to protect their homeland. The enemy would not stop at nothing.
Even if the Kunde Race was a native Star Cluster level civilization, the intensity and scale of this war was not something that any of the wars he had participated in before could compare to.
Han Xiao did not have any enmity toward the Kunde Race, but he did not have a good impression of them either. If he was in the Kunde Race's shoes, he would also not be willing to let an unknown civilization occupy the resources that he could easily obtain. When the Red Empire finished exploring the Dust Light Star Cluster, it would be equivalent to sealing the Kunde Race within the Dust Light Star Cluster. In the future, the Kunde Race would only be a Star Cluster level civilization.
However, he was currently standing on the side of the dynasty, and he had a vested interest in this matter. The dynasty was exploring a new Star Field to obtain new resources, and it was impossible for them to stop. It could only be said that there was an irreconcilable conflict between the two parties.
Since both parties were not in the wrong, the only ones at fault were the losers.
Han Xiao wrote a message and included the intelligence of the Kunde Race. He then sent it to Tarrokov, and without waiting for a reply, he wrote a war mobilization order and informed the entire army.
…
"Summoning us back to participate in the war?"
In the Black Star Corps exploration spaceship, the members of the team took out their communicators and looked at it. Some were excited, some were solemn, some were eager, and some were depressed.
Nero was a member of this exploration team, and when he saw the army mobilization order, he immediately became nervous.
The war had come too suddenly, and he was not mentally prepared. All along, he had only participated in various sparring sessions and had never participated in a real war. It was impossible for him not to be nervous.
All sorts of thoughts appeared in his mind, and Nero could not help but let his imagination run wild.
Will I be able to do it when facing the enemy?
What does it feel like to kill the enemy?
Will I be killed by the enemy?
Is Mia going to participate in the war as well? Will she be in danger?
Just as he was thinking about this, he felt a weight on his shoulder. Raising his head, Nero saw that it was the captain of his team, a former freelance mercenary.
"Don't worry, kid. We will take care of you." The captain smiled.
"Relax." The vice-captain, who was reciting spell models, also looked over and casually said, "I participated in the secret war before, and the battlefield is actually just like that. It's either you kill me or I kill you, especially in this kind of galactic war. Death is just a matter of an instant, and there is no pain. Thus, there is nothing to be nervous about."
Hearing this, Nero scratched his head and revealed a bashful smile.
He was assigned to this team as a mechanic, and his life was not bad. The captain and vice-captain both took good care of him, and the other members treated him well.
In this kind of basic combat team, one's background was secondary. The most important thing was one's ability. Nero was not weak, and his mechanical skills were outstanding. He was trustworthy, and thus, the other members were willing to take care of him. Nero also liked this group of forthright warriors.
Although he was nervous about participating in the war, Nero did not have any intention of contacting Han Xiao. He did not want to ask for special treatment. If he did so, his godfather might agree to not let him participate in the war, but he would definitely look down on him. After learning for so long, Nero did not want to disappoint his godfather.
Nero walked to the side and took out his communicator. After hesitating for a moment, he dialed Mia's number.
After a few rings, the other party picked up, but no one spoke. They could only hear each other's breathing.
After waiting for a few seconds, Nero could not help but take the initiative to speak. He scratched his face and said, "This … have you seen the internal notice? I'm going to the battlefield."
"Oh."
"Er … aren't you worried about me?"
"What's there to be worried about? I've been drafted as well." Mia snorted.
Nero's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated. "That … are you nervous?"
"What's there to be nervous about?" Mia's tone was strange. "When I became a Super, didn't I already know that this day would come? I'm looking forward to it. "
Nero opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say. He could only say softly, "Then, be careful. We are not in the same team, and I can't protect you …"
"Who needs your protection?" Mia rolled her eyes. "You should take care of yourself. Don't die."
After saying that, the call was cut off.
Nero put down the communicator and rubbed his nose helplessly.
He still missed the cute and shy Mia when he first met her. Ever since she had awakened as a pugilist, Mia's violent tendencies had become more and more serious. He did not know if it was because she had released the personality that she had suppressed for many years.
…
There was no wall in the world that did not have a crack. Furthermore, the Red Empire did not hide anything.
Not long after, the news of the Flickering World spread to the explored universe, and the various Star Fields knew that the Red Empire was mobilizing for war.
The majority of the galactic residents did not have any special opinions. Dealing with the natives was nothing strange. They could not wait for the dynasty to get rid of their opponents and complete the exploration as soon as possible so that they could have fun in the Flickering World.
There was also a group of anti-war factions that pitied the natives and called for peace instead of war. However, no one cared about them, and these words could not affect the actions of the advanced civilizations.
Most of the organizations did not care, but the various Supercluster civilizations were happy.
They could not wait for the Kunde Race to cause huge trouble for the dynasty. With the Primordial Psionic Energy, the Kunde Race would have the ability to kill the dynasty. The more of the dynasty's troops that died, the better. If possible, it would be best if the dynasty's Beyond Grade As died.
…
The exploration of the Dust Light Star Cluster had been stopped, and the dynasty and its allies were gathering their fleets near Planet Lighthouse.
Apart from the exploration army, the Red Empire also sent elites from the Central Galaxy to the Flickering World to participate in the battle.
On one hand, it was to not underestimate the enemy, and on the other hand, it was to train the troops. In the explored universe, they would not encounter a war of this level often, and it was a good opportunity to train the elites that the army wanted to nurture.
This time, because Han Xiao would not be participating personally, the commander of the Black Star Corps fleet was Herlous, who had left his friends behind and rushed over from the Shattered Star Ring.
"The army this time is divided into many armies. I'm the commander-in-chief of all the armies, and I'm in charge of the strategy. Every army will have an exclusive commander to lead the various allied organizations. The dynasty commander in charge of your Black Star Fleet has also been decided."
In the commander's office on Planet Lighthouse, Tarrokov opened a resume and showed it to Herlous.
Looking at it, Herlous felt that it looked familiar.
"Teny Amenlos?"
"That's right, it's him."
"His military rank doesn't seem high. Will he be able to do it?" Herlous was confused.
"Hehe, don't worry about that. He's an officer that the dynasty is currently nurturing, and he has outstanding commanding abilities." Tarrokov smiled. "He arrived at Planet Lighthouse not long ago. You can meet him."
As he spoke, Tarrokov knocked on the table, and the door was pushed open. An officer with an imposing aura walked in, followed closely by his adjutant.
"We meet again, my friend from the Black Star Corps." The officer nodded.
"Oh! So, it's you. "Herlous immediately recalled when he saw this person.
This person was an elite of the dynasty who had been modified by the Evolution Cube, the future dynasty marshal, and had a short relationship with Han Xiao back then. The adjutant beside him was his trusted aide, Corbus.
Herlous stood up, and the two of them shook hands before sitting back down.
"I haven't seen Black Star in almost ten years," Teny said. "I heard that his position is getting higher and higher. I'm very happy."
Herlous nodded and asked curiously, "You've been promoted in the past few years? I remember that you were only a colonel when you came."
"I made some contributions, but those achievements are nothing compared to Black Star." Teny shook his head. "This time, I volunteered to be the dynasty marshal of the Black Star Fleet to help you reduce the casualties."
"Thank you very much." Herlous was pleasantly surprised. As an ally, he was most afraid of meeting an unreliable dynasty marshal.
"You don't have to thank me. You can take this as repayment." Teny waved his hands. "Back then, Black Star gave me a mechanical floating defense array personally built by a Beyond Grade A, which helped me get through a few dangerous situations. I should be thanking him."
"I see."
Herlous was enlightened. There was no such thing as love for no reason. It turned out that his boss had helped him before.
He could not help but be impressed by Han Xiao's ability to build relationships.
"After this battle, I'll visit Black Star in the Garu Star Cluster. I hope he'll be free." Teny nodded.
"Don't worry. The matters of the army are basically handled by us officers. He's very free." Herlous sold Han Xiao out.
The two of them chatted for a while until Tarrokov purposely coughed. The two of them then left the commander's office together. As comrades who were about to fight side by side, the two of them wanted to interact more with each other.
People were coming and going in the base. On the way, Teny bumped into an acquaintance, who was also a high-ranking imperial official conscripted from other places. They greeted each other and stopped to chat.
Herlous did not pay much attention to it at first, but he suddenly realized that the tall and skinny adjutant beside this official had been staring at him with a meaningful gaze.
"Looking at me … Ahem, why are you looking at me?" Herlous could not help but ask.
This adjutant smiled, pointed at Herlous' army uniform, and asked, "You're from the Black Star Corps?"
"I'm the commander of the Black Star Corps fleet, Herlous. How should I address you?" Herlous nodded.
"Hehe, call me Gaud."
"Have we met somewhere before? Why are you staring at me? "Herlous was confused.
Gaud smiled. "No, I've always admired Black Star. This is the first time I'm seeing a Black Star Corps officer, so I'm a little curious."
Then, he turned around and did not intend to continue talking.
Seeing this, Herlous did not reply. He sized this person up and was secretly surprised. This guy called Gaud clearly did not have any aura, but for some reason, Herlous felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart when standing next to him.
At this time, Teny also finished chatting with his acquaintance. The other party left with Gaud.
Herlous watched as the two of them disappeared around the corner.
He could not help but ask, "Do you know that adjutant?"
Teny shook his head, but his adjutant, Corbus, who had been following beside him, spoke up.
"You mean Gaud? I know him. What's wrong? "
"I chatted with him just now. I'm a little curious."
Corbus nodded and introduced. "This Gaud is not a graduate of the Imperial Military Academy. He hasn't been in the army for long, but he's a Super with extraordinary potential. He was chosen by that officer just now and became an adjutant. He's very outstanding in all aspects. I heard that he's also on the military's priority list."
"This resume sounds quite normal …"
Herlous felt that it was weird. He did not know where the pressure came from, but he was sure that it was not an illusion.
However, there was no need to dwell on such a small matter. Herlous continued to chat with Teny and soon forgot about Gaud.
…
The dynasty's efficiency was extremely high. It did not take long for the army to gather. Under Tarrokov's instructions, the army officially set off and headed toward the depths of the Dust Light Star Cluster.
Originally, the dynasty did not know the exact location of the Kunde Race's territory. The original plan was to scout the area first. However, Black Star had submitted a report not long ago and marked out the rough location of the Kunde Race in the Dust Light Star Cluster. Although there were no detailed coordinates, it saved the dynasty a lot of effort.
Although the accuracy of the report was still unknown, the dynasty could also conduct more targeted reconnaissance. Countless scouts were released and headed toward the Kunde Race's territory marked out by Black Star. The various armies also started to move in different directions.
With an entire Star Cluster as the battlefield, mobility was the key. The stargate was the blood vessel that connected the army.
Because of the Primordial Psionic Energy trap, the dynasty also acknowledged that the enemy had stargate technology. Thus, the various armies paid attention to protecting their own stargate to prevent the enemy from ambushing them.
However, the army advanced for more than half a month without encountering a single battle. The enemy was in the dark, and they were in the light. It was as though the enemy had disappeared without a trace.
This situation was only broken a few days later, and the dynasty finally had their first exchange of fire with the Kunde Race.
And the location of the exchange of fire was actually Planet Lighthouse, which was plagued with disasters!
