Xiao Ran did not hesitate to agree to a small request from Ross, a member of the Windamir Royal Family. After the destruction of the Windamir Kingdom, Xiao Ran would accept the innocent civilians of Windamir. To Xiao Ran, it was impossible to tell who was right and who was wrong in a war. However, at least most of the civilians were innocent. Furthermore, the civilians of the Windamir Kingdom were indeed very simple and kind. They should not sacrifice their lives for a mistake that did not belong to them.
Shi Dong and Ross left gratefully, while Catherine reappeared in front of Xiao Ran with a frown. She asked in confusion, "You've decided to support them? Won't this cause dissatisfaction with the Unification and affect the situation that has just been stabilized? Besides, even with our help, the Windamir Kingdom isn't a match for the Unification, so why do we need to do this? "
"No matter what, it's necessary to maintain a certain relationship. As for the dissatisfaction of the Unification, it doesn't matter. The bald president has a good relationship with Cruzet, so he knows how to suppress the dissatisfied voices of the Unification. Besides, we have the help of the Zergs, so the Unification won't choose to fall out with us over normal business transactions."
After saying that, Xiao Ran stood up, walked to his desk, picked up a PDA, and walked back to Catherine. His fingers swiped twice on the PDA, and a three-dimensional screen was projected from the PDA. At this time, Xiao Ran had a completely thoughtful expression, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
"I'm afraid that the Windamir Kingdom isn't as simple as it seems. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so highly regarded by the Unification. Judging from the way the two of them behaved today, I feel that they aren't completely without support. That's why I can't predict how the Windamir Kingdom incident will develop in the end, but it's also beneficial for us to maintain a good relationship with them."
"And apart from that, what really made me decide to help them is this …" Xiao Ran tapped on the projected screen and said, "The inheritance of the royal family, the Wind Songster."
Catherine stared blankly at the spot where Xiao Ran's finger was pointing at. It was a photo of a golden-haired young man with his hands slightly spread out as if he was singing loudly. In the photo, apart from this golden-haired young man, countless civilians of the Windamir Kingdom appeared in the photo as if they were shouting something.
"Wind Songster?" Catherine looked at the picture and pondered for a while. "This is just a ceremony of the Windamir Kingdom, a necessary ceremony and custom when a new king ascends the throne. The person in the picture is the current King of Windamir, and this picture was taken during his ascension. It has been many years, so it doesn't mean anything special. According to the investigation results of the Unification, there's nothing special about it at all."
"Perhaps, but we have to treat the word 'songster' with caution." Xiao Ran smiled and turned off the computer in his hand. He thought to himself, Oh Kathlyn, singers are the true core of this world. Even if the unified investigation didn't find anything special, it isn't absolute. Just because the investigation didn't find anything special doesn't mean there isn't anything special. Maybe it's just that the conditions haven't been met yet. Anything related to singers must be treated with caution, not to mention that this is a race that has a longer history than the human race. An inheritance and title left behind from ancient times is definitely not something simple.
Xiao Ran didn't tell Catherine that because she belonged to this world. Her perspective on songsters was completely different from Xiao Ran's. She also didn't know that everything in Xiao Ran's perception of this world actually revolved around songsters. In Xiao Ran's mind, a strange thought loomed in his mind. Could it be that the incident in the Windamir Kingdom is the next story of this world? But is that possible?
The last thing Xiao Ran knew about this world was Transdimensional Fortress F. He didn't know if there would be any other story after Transdimensional Fortress F, especially when he had completely changed the 25th Fleet. However, this world was a real and huge world after all. Even if Xiao Ran changed some things, everything that should happen would still happen. One was in the middle of the silver core, and the other was at the edge of the galaxy. Even the butterfly effect couldn't sweep across the entire galaxy so easily.
A few hours after Cruzet left, he reappeared in front of Xiao Ran. After contacting the bald president of the Unified Army, he obtained more information about the Windamir Kingdom and the real reason for the Windamir Kingdom's independence.
After checking with each other, Xiao Ran confirmed that what Ross and Stone said was true. Some of Xiao Ran's own guesses were also correct. The Unified Army stationed in the territory of the Windamir Kingdom had indeed brought a lot of harm and trouble to the Windamir Kingdom. One side wanted to prevent the Unified Army from extending their reach into the Windamir Kingdom, while the other side wanted to completely bring the Windamir Kingdom under their control. Conflict was inevitable.
Among the Unified Army stationed in the Windamir Kingdom, there were indeed some who did not abide by the rules. There were even a few who did things that the people of the Windamir Kingdom could not tolerate. Even if these disgraceful things were suppressed, the bald president would not hide anything from Cruzet.
The more important reason was that the Unified Army had their eyes on a very important thing in the Windamir Kingdom. All these reasons together touched the bottom line of the Windamir Kingdom. The Unified Army wanted to drive them away, but how could the Unified Army just leave like that? The key point was that the Unified Army's mentality of 'I'm the boss' flared up again, so the conflict began.
After knowing all this, Xiao Ran had a rough idea of what to do. He originally intended to provide some support to the Unified Army in order to maintain their relationship. However, he had a change of heart. Looking at the current situation of the Windamir Kingdom, Xiao Ran was indeed a little innocent and weak. That was why he kindly agreed to provide Stone and Ross with appropriate support in terms of resources and weapons.
Of course, this was also a normal business relationship. No one could find anything wrong with it. Be it warships, shapeshifting fighters, weapons, ammunition, and daily necessities, as long as the Windamir Kingdom was willing to pay the right price, Xiao Ran could sell them to them.
However, due to the doubts in Xiao Ran's heart, he also told the two that he would not be involved in the conflict between the Windamir Kingdom and the Unified Army. However, he also gave the Windamir Kingdom a lot of discounts in terms of price to express his goodwill.
In the following period of time, Xiao Ran handed over the business relationship with the Windamir Kingdom to Catherine personally and reminded her to pay attention to the situation in the Windamir Kingdom at all times. And just like that, days passed. In order to pay attention to the situation in the Windamir Kingdom, Xiao Ran continued to buy more time after the army members returned to Prometheus.
It wasn't until a few months later, when the battle between the Windamir Kingdom and the Unified Army reached a stalemate, the Windamir Kingdom suddenly used dimensional weapons, causing the Carlisle region of the Windamir Kingdom to suffer great losses and leave behind scars that could never be healed. Under this opportunity, in order to prevent the Windamir Kingdom from continuing to go crazy, the Unified Army began to retreat from the Windamir Kingdom, bringing the independence war to an end.
Of course, this was only an announcement to the public, but the truth was that the dimensional weapons were used by Xiao Ran and the Epsilon Financial Group. After Cruzet and the bald president contacted each other, both sides seemed to be a little confused. Neither side was clear about the real situation. At the very least, the bald president and the Epsilon Financial Group really didn't know. However, the bald president admitted that the Unified Army had mastered the dimensional weapon technology and had even tested it.
The appearance of the dimensional weapon also made Xiao Ran feel a little threatened. This was a weapon of mass destruction. It wasn't big, but it had extremely high AOE killing power. In other words, it was very stealthy and could suddenly explode at any time. Originally, similar weapons were the Dimensional Devourer and the large MED warhead, and these two weapons were only owned by Xiao Ran in the 25th Fleet. They were considered unique technologies, but now that the Unified Army suddenly had a weapon that could match them, how could Xiao Ran not feel threatened and cautious?
The transcendent status of the 25th Fleet was indeed largely due to the Zergs, and the advanced president of the Unified Army could be considered one of their own. Of course, the primitive demons also played some role, but among the factors that made the Unified Army, which had many complicated factions, fully acknowledge the independence of the fleet, the Dimensional Devourer and the large MED warhead also accounted for a lot of weight.
Now that the Unified Army had caught up with them in terms of weapons, it also made the Unified Army less afraid of the 25th Fleet. How could Xiao Ran turn a blind eye to this? More importantly, the bald president was not the leader of the development of the dimensional weapon. There was no way to obtain detailed information and technical information on the dimensional weapon by relying on the bald president, which made Xiao Ran even more unhappy.
Cruzet originally planned to bring El Erf, Bassac, Law, and Ryukino to Earth to get information on the dimensional weapon, but the bald president took the initiative to send the information over before everyone else. Although there was no technical information, only test data and specific information on the use of the dimensional weapon in the Kingdom of Wendamir, after Law and the technicians from the three worlds analyzed it, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
The result of the analysis was that the dimensional weapon would leave permanent traces after use. It was a superweapon of mass destruction, but its effective killing range was far inferior to that of the Dimensional Devourer. It was an instantaneous weapon, and its real destructive power was similar to that of the large MED warhead, but the key point was that the large MED warhead would completely disappear after its effect ended. The dimensional weapon, on the other hand, would cause almost permanent damage.
This result made everyone feel much more at ease. Although there was still a possibility of them posing a threat to the fleet, they were still much weaker than the dimensional devourer and the MED bombs that could be mass-produced. As long as they could effectively prevent the dimensional weapons from entering the fleet's territory, there wouldn't be much of a problem in terms of safety. However, it was impossible for Xiao Ran to not make preparations for this.
In the end, Cruzet and the rest left the fleet and went to different places with Bassac, Jegus, Graham, Nalor, and El Erf. Everyone left with the same thing — the Dimensional Devourer. Cruzet went to Earth, while the others were assigned to unify the various important planets throughout the Milky Way. Their task was to bury the Dimensional Devourer deep in every planet and use it as the ultimate weapon against the unification. They wanted to prevent the unification from having any thoughts that they should not, so that the fleet could continue to maintain its current transcendent status.
Of course, all these methods were just Xiao Ran's precautions. Apart from them, no one else knew about it. It was not until several months later that Xiao Ran left the camp's territory after completing all the arrangements and began to prepare for the next mission.
Although they had stayed in the camp's territory for a long time, not much time had passed for Prometheus. When the deadline for Prometheus's rest period arrived, everyone in Xiao Ran's team gathered in the huge Gnacou in the living area.
More than a dozen people were waiting for the mission to begin. Xiao Ran nodded slightly when he saw how energetic they were. Although they had stayed in the camp's territory for a long time, they did not relax in the slightest. They had achieved a considerable balance between rest and training. Naturally, they did not lag behind in terms of ability. On the contrary, they had grown a little.
It was even more so for the other members of the Burning Legion. After receiving systematic training, many of them had grown a lot. Their cooperation had become more tacit, and their combat skills had also become sharper. The systematic training they received in the camp's territory was something they could not touch when carrying out missions.
