One day later, Xiao Ran's office of the new Burning Legion was filled with people. Mary, Jay, Vry, Uzzes, and Rabir were all present. The commanders of the four major fleets were also present. Even Cruzet and Xiaya were present. They were all listening to Rabir's report on the situation of the surrender.
Xiao Ran listened for a long time, but he still felt that it was too sudden. Damn it, I've already set up a stage for you guys to perform, and all you did was set up a wave of fireworks. After that … there's nothing else?
Xiao Ran asked again, "Did they really surrender? No accidents, no tricks?"
"No." Rabir nodded slowly. "All the battleships that surrendered have been inspected. We've sealed up all their bodies and ammunition. We've also locked up the leaders of the various legions individually. All the pilots have also been locked up. The weapons of the battleships have also been destroyed through physical means."
"They were very cooperative throughout the entire process. No problems were found."
On the virtual screen on Xiao Ran's desk, he saw numerous small boarding pods surrounded by countless beetles and bodies. Rabir was indeed talking about being locked up individually. They were all stuffed into the boarding pods and thrown into space.
"I don't get it." Xiao Ran shook his head. "This surrender is too sudden."
Cruzet smiled and said, "It's not sudden at all. Surrendering is their only choice, and it's also their only choice."
"Their 25 legions have never been truly connected together, nor do they have the exact same goal. Most of the legions are just tools to be used. However, tools also have brains. It can be seen that the large legion is trying to weaken their strength. It's just that the master is strong and the servants are weak. They don't have a choice. They can only vent their wanton plunder on us and the Gala Empire."
"At the same time, they've also placed all their greed on us, thinking that they'll be able to recoup all their losses through this Army War."
"If we were weak, of course it wouldn't be a problem. However, our strength far surpasses their imaginations. The first wave of fireworks has already made them lose their courage. This is also a head-on blow that shatters their fantasies and brings them back to reality. They don't have enough strength, but they aren't willing to die, and they aren't willing to continue being the tools of that gigantic army. Since they can use us to break free from the shackles of that gigantic army and survive, of course they'll choose to surrender. As long as one person proposes to surrender, this idea will spread like an unstoppable virus."
Cruzet said, "Now, even if you don't know, they will take the initiative to talk to us about the compensation for this battle. Even if they have to pay more than the normal compensation, many people will choose to accept it. Because once the negotiation is done, they will have no worries and will deliberately eat and drink peacefully until the mission is over."
After listening to Cruzet's analysis, everyone nodded their heads. They felt that Cruzet's analysis had indeed hit the nail on the head.
"Yes." Xiao Ran nodded lightly and said, "Since the other party has surrendered, we'll be spared from the upcoming trouble anyway. As for the matter of negotiating with these legions, I'll leave it to you, Kreutz, to handle. The general direction is to let them join us as our subordinate legions. As for the other benefits, we can ask for less, or even none at all."
Cruzet nodded in understanding. "I know what to do."
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Next, Cruzet will be in charge of these fleets. Mary's fleet will be in charge of assisting. Uzzes, Jay, Vry, and Rebia's fleets will begin to cooperate with the Great Iron Fleet's mission to annihilate the Gra Empire after the rest."
"After the battle against the Gra Empire begins, be sure to pay attention to what is worth excavating in various places. Magic, technology, legends, and so on. This world is very big and there are many things that can be excavated. In any case, since we have already come to this world, we have to stay here for one or two years. Cruzet, pay attention to this point when negotiating with the other party. It's best if you can get them to take the initiative to cooperate."
"In addition, inform Homestead Fortress to immediately come over and join us. Cruzet, you promised Princess Arthea before. Have Dilandar make the arrangements to create a Clone and transfer the memories belonging to the other party."
"Also, inform Hades that all the enemies have surrendered. He should hurry up and do whatever he wants."
Xiaya asked, "Don't we need to turn this place into a faction territory? If it's the core, it's very likely to be the five lions. "
Xiao Ran knocked on the table and said, "If it's the core, it's very likely that the five lions are the core. How about this, let's establish a territory team. Xiaya, Cruzet, both of you will join. This territory team will be specifically responsible for this matter."
Under normal circumstances, the arrangements for the acquisition of territory should be carried out by Xiao Ran personally. However, the current Burning Legion was no longer in a normal situation. It was an abnormal situation that surpassed any other legion. Which legion could have the Burning Legion's sources of information about various worlds? And which legion could have an extraordinary understanding of various mission worlds?
In the entire Prometheus, only the Burning Legion had such an understanding. And it wasn't only him who knew about it, but all the higher-ups knew about it. So, in this case, even if Xiao Ran didn't intervene, the higher-ups would still be able to do this matter well.
The possibility of the five lions being the core was very high, but it didn't necessarily have to be the core. After all, the five lions had fallen into the hands of the Burning Legion and had been examined for a long time. Although they weren't really acquired, they were just borrowing them for research. Next, they could see what changes would happen after obtaining the ownership of the five lions.
If the path of becoming the core didn't work, then they could only take another path, which was to acquire territory through normal means. There were many hidden things in this world, and it wasn't certain how valuable they were. After all, before the hidden things were excavated, no one could determine how valuable they were. Turning this world into a territory was just to facilitate the excavation of this world in the future. It wasn't that important to turn this world into a territory.
After the various arrangements were completed, the entire Burning Legion began to operate like a sophisticated machine. After a short rest, Uzzes, Jay, Vry, and Rebil's fleets left to begin their conquest of the Gra Empire. Cruzet also began to negotiate with the other legions after arriving at the Homestead Fortress.
Among the twenty-five legions, there were some who were unlucky enough to be completely wiped out, but there was only one who was unlucky to such an extent. After the follow-up statistics, the losses of the various legions were quite large, but the total number of casualties was not that high. Most of the enemy participants who participated in this mission survived, and they used various methods to survive. In the end, the proportion of people who were sacrificed and missing was about one-third. On average, the losses could be said to be heavy.
The representatives of the 24 legions were all brought into the Homestead Fortress. The originally united alliance was now completely broken up. It was only an alliance in name, but it no longer had the essence of an alliance.
For the first negotiation, Cruzet gathered all 24 legions. Although there were only 24 legions, there were still dozens of people in each legion. Cruzet arranged for all of them to be in a large conference room.
Among the dozens of people, some had heavy expressions, some were relaxed, some were numb, and some were prepared to be beaten. In short, the dozens of people's expressions reflected their various thoughts.
Cruzet sat at the front of the conference room. After sizing up everyone one by one, he began his speech. "Dear representatives of the various legions, regarding your surrender, there shouldn't be any objections, right?"
Everyone nodded. Cruzet smiled and said, "You should be clear about the situation of this battle. The result of 25 against 1 is almost equivalent to the total annihilation of all of you. Based on the various comparisons, I'm afraid that we have already obtained a very high evaluation of the results. We accept your surrender and even if we don't talk about ending this mission in a normal way."
"All the legions present will have to pay compensation for their defeat. The foundation of your legions will also be depleted. Even if your legions can continue to exist, I'm afraid you will be no different from beggars."
Everyone nodded solemnly.
"Everything in the entire army will fall into our hands as compensation. Perhaps even all of your airframes won't be enough. Once this matter spreads in the super zone, without resources and achievement points, the entire army's foundation will be gone, and we'll even have to add your airframes into the equation. Tsk tsk, the consequences will be even more tragic, won't they?" "That's right.
Everyone nodded sadly.
"However, our legion can give you a chance to choose." Cruzet smirked and said, "A chance to reduce your compensation, or even not to accept it."
Many people's eyes suddenly lit up.
"The Burning Legion is willing to accept you as a subsidiary legion. As long as you are willing to become a subsidiary legion of the Burning Legion, we can reduce or completely eliminate the compensation based on your current situation. However, if you are not willing to become a subsidiary legion, then I'm very sorry. This time, we accept your surrender, but next time, we will take the initiative to declare war on you."
"I'm willing!"
"I'm willing too!"
"I'll disband the current legion. My people will all join the Burning Legion, okay?"
Cruzet listened to the positive response and smiled gently. He said, "It seems that everyone has a good impression of the Burning Legion. Just now, I heard that someone wants to disband the entire legion and merge with us. This is not possible for the time being. The Burning Legion is currently lacking subsidiary legions, but if you perform well, it won't be a problem to let you join."
"Then let me first explain the situation of the Burning Legion and the treatment of its members. The Burning Legion is not a local legion of the super zone. We are from the real zone, and the super zone legion is just a subsidiary legion. The important main members are not in the subsidiary legion."
"Now, you should have a rough understanding of the number of Mythical-class pilots in the legion. In addition to those you have seen before, this number needs to be increased by a quarter."
"As participants, we are most concerned about the mech aspect. The Burning Legion has many systems of mech technology. There are many systems in the super zone alone, and Mythical-class mech can also be created. There will be a super mech of each system that is suitable for you."
"Bloodline. Those who join the Burning Legion will be able to obtain a bloodline, but whether it is suitable or not depends on the choice of the user. If it is not available in the legion, the legion will try to obtain it from other places and then give it to the person who needs it. Of course, this is not completely free."
"The legion uses a system of authority points. Different levels of authority will give different treatment. Points can be exchanged with war achievement points, but the exchange limit is not high. Special tools, mech, and technology can also be exchanged for points. At the same time, points can also be exchanged for anything in the legion, as long as you have enough points."
"For the members of the legion, war achievement points are not as useful as points. In fact, everyone in the legion does not lack war achievement points, but they will not blindly use war achievement points to strengthen themselves."
"Everything the participants need, the legion is completely self-sufficient. The only use of war achievement points is to strengthen attribute points and buy some more special things."
"Mech and battleships are all custom-made, but if there is a need for special modifications, points will also be needed to exchange for them. Even so, our standard mech and battleship are enough. If you want to be stronger, you will need to work harder to obtain points and participate in every mission more seriously."
"The benefits of the Burning Legion are better than you can imagine, but if you join, all the benefits and levels will be lowered by one level. The point system will also be implemented in your legion, and the exchanged inventory will be shared by the entire legion. We also have special courses for high-level pilots for low-level pilots. You will also be able to enjoy these benefits."
Cruzet said this and deliberately paused for a moment before continuing, "The Burning Legion emphasizes that you get what you pay for, so we will not force you to submit war achievement points, special tools, or technology. However, if you want to obtain points, this is the easiest way to get them. In order to exchange for better things and support, you will naturally take the initiative to join."
"That's about all I can say for you. Those who want to join can come over and sign the agreement now. After the agreement is signed, someone will explain more details to you."
