As a native of Prometheus and a member of the Legion Alliance's council under the Legion Hall, Epsilas was a native of Prometheus. Although he was a native, he was also a native who could interact with many participants and legions. His identity and job duties were considered very special.
In the eyes of many participants, the natives were very mysterious, because the natives of Prometheus were a completely different race from them. They didn't need to participate in missions or face dangers, and at the same time, they didn't know what kind of life they lived, what kind of abilities they had, and what kind of rights they had. The only thing they knew was that the natives couldn't divulge anything about the other participants. This made it seem like the natives knew a lot of things, but the participants couldn't get any information from the natives. How much they knew was also a secret.
Since Epsilas mentioned the Super Zone and the Lunatic Legion, it meant that he was related to the Super Zone. It also seemed like there was another way for the natives to communicate across zones.
In this way, Epsilas should have a rough idea of the Burning Legion's strength. However, he didn't show it to any of the participants, including Xiao Ran.
After Epsilas's evaluation team confirmed the final result and sent it to the Legion Hall and the Legion Hall, it didn't take long for the entire legion 50 meters in front of Prometheus to become lively because of this news.
A legion that had never participated in the Legion Hall before was going to challenge the legion that had been sitting in the fourth place for a long time. A legion that had long been known as a mysterious legion in the Prometheus was finally going to unveil its mysterious veil.
No one would think that the Burning Legion was overestimating themselves. The Legion Hall's existence was to deal with people who overestimated themselves and disturbed the environment of the legion. Now that the evaluation team had given the final result, it meant that the Burning Legion indeed had the ability to challenge the fourth place.
However, many legions were guessing why the Burning Legion suddenly chose to stand out at this time. Was it because of something or because someone had provoked them? At the same time, there were also some who wondered if the Burning Legion's true strength was only at the fourth place or if they had surpassed the fourth place and chose to hide their strength.
However, most of the legions were still feeling complicated after knowing this. The Burning Legion had the ability to challenge the fourth place. This was another top-tier legion that had been mysterious under the eyes of many but was rapidly developing. All the uncertainty about the Burning Legion before this had been confirmed.
However, the ones with the most complicated and awkward feelings were only three out of the fifty legions, the fourth, the fifth, and the fiftieth.
For the fourth place legion, perhaps they had never thought that their position would be challenged so suddenly. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that they were bewildered. They had never provoked the Burning Legion and had never had much contact with the Burning Legion. There was also no news that they would suddenly face an 'enemy'. It would be fine if they won, but if they lost, it would be equivalent to stepping on their heads to become the king of the Burning Legion. This was simply preparing to step on their heads and sit on the throne.
The fifth place legion was also very awkward and irritated. This was the first challenge of the Burning Legion and they didn't have the qualifications to interfere. They could only watch as the Burning Legion and the fourth place battle it out. If the fourth place legion won, they would be the second to accept the Burning Legion's challenge and confirm if the Burning Legion would be able to obtain the fifth place.
However, if the fourth place legion lost, they would no longer have the opportunity to accept the challenge and would be directly kicked out of the top five. They would also lose all the benefits they enjoyed when they were in the fifth place. They were really awkward because they could only wait for the result. They were also irritated because they could only accept the result.
As for the fiftieth place, it could be said that they were the gatekeepers of the army council. Their strength was actually not bad, at least they were qualified to be gatekeepers. However, now they had to face the inevitable outcome of being kicked out of the top fifty and losing their seats in the army council. From a decent legion to an ordinary one.
The situation of the legions in the entire Prometheus zone was roughly divided into three categories. The first category was the first to fifth place, which was the seat that only the top legions could hold. The second category was the sixth to fiftieth place, which had their own seats in the council and could participate in the discussion and express their opinions. After that, there were the legions after the fifty-first place, which were mediocre, ordinary, and trash.
After the fourth place legion discussed for half an hour, the army council was restored. Then, Renard received the news and immediately reported it to Xiao Ran.
"Three days later, the closed legion battle in the arena … full-scale, encounter."
"Full-scale?" Xiao Ran looked at Renard who slowly reported the notice given by the army council and became silent.
Renard roughly told Xiao Ran what he was thinking. "The uncertainty of a full-scale legion commander is the greatest. In a full-scale battle, even if it's just an unranked legion, it's very likely to have a combat power that only a high-ranked legion has, just like us in the past. Therefore, we can't be sure if they have any trump cards or backup combat power in their hands."
"However, since they chose to be closed, it means that they don't want to expose their strength to the outside world. I think I can contact them and have them sign a confidentiality agreement."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, then shook his head and said rather helplessly, "Why? Why do they have to do this? Can't they just have a normal battle? Can't they just send participants? Why do they have to do something like a full-scale battle? Are they trying to scare us and let us know the difference between them, or are they trying to protect their fourth place?"
Renard said, "I think it's both. If they can protect their ranking, then they should. After all, fourth place is more stable than fifth place. It's also possible that they want to have a head-on battle with us to confirm our strength. They want us to not have any ideas about them. Even if they lose, they want to tell us that they're not to be trifled with."
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door. Cruzet pushed the door open and walked in. Looking at the two sitting on the sofa, he smiled. "You guys have caused another big incident in the past few days."
Xiao Ran looked at Cruzet and waved his hand at Cruzet who was still standing by the door. "Are you done with your business?"
"Originally, it was almost done, but you guys suddenly caused such a big incident. There was a little change in the middle." Cruzet said with a smile. "The terms of cooperation with the Shadowblade Legion have all been confirmed. However, Borsia was only prepared to cooperate with us to a certain extent, but now they want to deepen their cooperation with us because of the commotion you guys have caused."
Xiao Ran did not give a direct answer. Instead, he said, "Let me take a look at the terms of cooperation with the Shadowblade Legion."
Cruzet took out his personal terminal and handed it to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran also carefully read all the terms that were displayed.
After Xiao Ran finished reading, he looked up at Cruzet. "This doesn't look like a cooperation clause. It's more like a subsidiary agreement."
Cruzet smiled. "In fact, there is no difference. Since they want to get more support from us, they naturally have to pay more."
"In the original terms of cooperation, I gave them a 20% discount on trade transactions, but they worked hard to get a 50% discount on the entire catalog, such as the protection agreement and the joint enemy agreement. I gave them a phased protection fee that was collected on a per transaction basis, and they also worked hard to get a super low phased payment. They also fought for a mission protection agreement and a team leader agreement in addition to the hostile protection agreement."
"Of course, our purpose is to support them, so I gave them a symbolic zero protection fee. However, in the future, they must buy everything they need from the Burning Legion, such as airframes, warships, weapons, and so on. They can only buy what we don't have."
"There are also things like the contract and guidance agreement. For the first batch, they are prepared to buy a batch of cores, bloodlines, airframes, warships, and portable armors from us as the first protection fee."
"After all, the situation of our legion has really scared them. To them, we are a real golden thigh, not to mention the ranking battle."
Xiao Ran nodded and said. "But it still needs to be mutually beneficial. I don't want the legion to become a giant leech. I hope that they can truly grow and become reliable partners of the Burning Legion. The stronger the people around us are, the greater the benefits for us. We don't want to absorb their flesh and blood to obtain meaningless benefits and limit their development."
"Just like the current Legion Council. If the top five are staunch allies, and the top fifty are staunch partners, then we are truly strong. We don't want to be alone in the first place and be watched by the other 49."
"As for the core, you have to communicate with Dilandar and Law. I'm not too sure if they can produce it on their own."
Cruzet said, "I've already asked. There's no problem with mass production. It's just that the production hasn't increased. Selling one or two hundred of them shouldn't be a problem."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Okay, then we'll decide according to these terms. It's fine if it's not a subsidiary. In the future, if there are other legions that want to ride on our coattails, we'll use this agreement as the standard. Then, to what extent of cooperation does Borsia want to achieve?"
Cruzet said, "Technology exchange, pilot exchange, trade exchange, and so on. Finally, they hope to reach strategic cooperation with us, mutual enemies, mutual assistance in missions, and so on."
Xiao Ran asked, "What technology do they have that we urgently need but don't have?"
Cruzet shrugged and smiled. "I didn't find anything."
"Then we'll put down the technology exchange for the time being. The pilot exchange is fine, the trade exchange is fine too. We can give them a discount and make the entire catalog public. Of course, they have to do this too. Mutual assistance in missions is fine, mutual friends is fine too. Mutual enemies are fine too. Just tell them that we need to consider it.
If we agree to it, we'll agree to it. "" If they don't want to make the entire catalog public, we'll block it according to the degree of imprinting. The highest level of airframe cannot exceed S1, but we can accept customization. Bloodlines are not for sale, cores are not for sale, new series of warships are not for sale, limited series of weapons are not for sale, portable armors are not for sale. "
Most of the participants in Prometheus did not have a bottom line at all, so even if they signed a contract, there was a high possibility that they would violate the contract. However, the participants could have no bottom line, but Prometheus's own bottom line was very high. Prometheus used his own bottom line to raise the bottom line of all the participants. At the very least, the contract could not be violated, and violating it would inevitably lead to severe punishment. This made the participants not dare to violate the contract. Unless both parties agreed to it amicably, if they wanted to betray, they could only give them a 'hehe'.
Cruzet nodded to show that he understood, and then said, "I'm fine here. Renard, how are things on your side?"
"Full-scale army encounter in three days. Virtual battle." Renard also told Cruzet the reply he received, and then said, "We were discussing this before you came."
"Hehe, full-scale?" Cruzet showed the same expression as Xiao Ran and nodded. "Of all the options, you chose full-scale?"
Renard said, "We have the same idea, so I'm going to find the fourth-ranked army to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Cruzet asked, "What if they don't sign?"
Xiao Ran smiled leisurely. "Then we'll be a permanent neutral army ranked fourth. We won't participate in any war or conflict between the participating armies, and we're willing to cooperate with all the other armies. As a neutral army, we'll also be an arms dealer. I believe no one will dare to offend us."
"Instigating conflicts between these armies won't be much harder than arranging those forces, factions, and enemies in the mission. It won't be too difficult to cultivate some supporters."
Cruzet and Renard glanced at Xiao Ran, smiled, and nodded lightly. Now, even if the Burning Legion stood on top of the other armies and made a provocation like Shen Teng, not many armies would be able to bear the consequences of creating conflict. Moreover, the Burning Legion didn't seem to be provoking like Shen Teng. It should be said that it was even more excessive than that, the kind that carried a rocket launcher.
After Renard's side contacted them, the fourth-ranked army quickly gave a positive reply. In fact, just as Xiao Ran and Renard thought, since they chose to keep it a secret, they definitely didn't want others to know the true strength of their army. Moreover, the Burning Legion really didn't have any grudges with them, and they fought this battle only because of the rules. After the battle, both sides could still keep it a secret and become friends.
No matter who was ranked fourth, who was ranked fifth, if both sides really became friends, then wouldn't their speaking rights in the Five Seats increase greatly?
