993 Rising Tide (2)
Today is the day of the annual Black Star Gathering, and the headquarters of the Black Star Legion in the Shattered Star Ring gathers representatives of countless forces.
Over the past ten years, the Blackstar Gathering has become a signature event of the Blackstar Legion.
Compared with previous years, the number of guests attending the banquet today has increased many times, many of them are from other star fields, and they are all organizations that are preparing to go to the shining world to "pan for gold", and now that the shining world is about to open, more people will come to step on the spot, and try to make friends with the black star who is entrenched in the shining world.
After the third phase, the total number of star clusters that have been explored has increased to nine, of which the Dawn Cluster is the entrance to the shining world and is under the control of the Empire, and most of the Gaul, Reynolds, and Crown Rings in the first phase have been given to important allies, and the infrastructure is quite complete, and a preliminary power pattern has been formed. The five star clusters explored in the second and third phases have a broad space for development, and the empire has vacated a large number of places, ready to allocate the construction cost to the forces of the whole universe.
According to the official announcement released by the Empire, the Black Star Legion has been divided into two new galaxies, located in the Russo Cluster of Phase 2 and the Marco Cluster of Phase 3, next to each other. Of the other allies, only a small number were given territory in the future.
Compared with the first phase, the empire will not allocate too much territory to allocate, and will consider placing pillars and strong allies in subsequent cluster regions, so as to maintain the empire's control over each cluster after opening to the outside world.
With nine galaxies in hand, the Black Star Legion is currently the largest force in the Shining World territory, second only to the Empire, so many forces want to tie up with the Black Star Legion and want to be convenient when exploring the Shining World.
The banquet hall of the headquarters is crowded with people, and it is very lively, and there are different intelligent species talking to each other everywhere, and the costumes are even stranger, like an exposition of all ethnic groups.
Many of them had come to the Black Star Gathering for the first time, and they were gathered together in twos and threes, observing the venue, whispering, and identifying the Black Star Legion cadres among them.
"The woman who is surrounded by a circle of star cluster-level civilization representatives is the chief affairs officer under Black Star, Sylvia, who is the chief manager of Black Star, and I heard that she is very capable and manages the legion in an orderly manner...... Next to him is the fleet commander Melos, and the one next to him is his student Mia, who stepped into the realm of the Cataclysm a year ago and single-handedly eliminated a rebel army of interstellar civilizations with the Calamity-level command, and is said to be the lover of the 'Young Commander' Nilo. β
ββ¦β¦ Look over there, that's the deputy legion leader Rakhi, the former leader of the Red Robe Hermitage Order, the honorary minister of the Ministry of Magic, and at the same time manages tens of thousands of Black Star Super Academy, and last year he was on the list of super A-level seeds of the Broken Star Ring, and next to him was Tomar, a magic genius, I heard that Austin wanted to poach this person a few years ago, but was rejected by Black Star. β
"The one in the corner who is looking at the drawings is Renard, who is in charge of the logistics department, the gloomy one next to him is Shazik, the deputy head of the intelligence department, and the mustache is the high-ranking Intepis of the budding consortium...... The heads of most of the departments and important cadres of the Black Star Legion are here, and I have calculated that there are more than thirty natural disasters present. β
"This is only part of it, I heard that the most elite guards under the command of Black Star are stationed in the Shining World, and those powerful guys like Hardaway and Fording are not here, and the entire Black Star Legion is estimated to have sixty or seventy natural disaster levels, as well as two super A-level seeds, and the strong are like clouds."
"Black Star has lived in seclusion for the past few years, and he has hardly appeared in public, and he can only be seen at Black Star gatherings, I don't know if I will have a chance to talk to him later......"
Everyone was chatting in a whisper, when a remote projection suddenly appeared on the high platform.
Many guests always paid attention to this side, and their eyes were immediately attracted, and they bowed their heads and saluted together.
"Your Excellency Blackstar."
Han Xiao nodded, smiled, and said softly, "Welcome to the Black Star Legion." β
More than ten years, for his lifespan, it is just a flick of his fingers, and the years cannot leave traces on him, and he is still a baby.
As soon as the main owner appeared, the arena became more lively, and countless people rushed up to talk.
Han Xiao had long been accustomed to it, smiling and greeting with respectful, excited, or greedy guys, observing these people by the way.
In his impression, there are quite a few forces in this group that are quite active in the Shining World.
In addition to the three major civilizations and the supercluster, some neutral civilizations and non-governmental organizations also play an important role in the shining world, and the intricate interests of players have built the stage for players to participate in 4.0 activities, and also give players the opportunity to give full play to their subjective initiative (to do things).
Now, because of Han Xiao's efforts, the legion has gained an advantage in advance in the Shining World, and the nine galaxies are the foundation, which can connect more forces on this basis, form a new network of interests and relationships in the Shining World, and expand its power, which is also the reason why he held a banquet today.
While Han Xiao was dealing with everyone, he secretly wrote down these forces, which corroborated the situation in his memory.
After seeing off the guests, the cadres followed Han Xiao to the office.
"Commander, the Shining World is about to open to the outside world, this day is still here, we need to make more preparations to meet the impact of the general trend." Sylvia said.
"Just follow the plan." Han Xiao snorted.
The legion has been preparing for more than ten years, and the preparations that should be made are basically done, and there are only some finishing touches left.
When the Shining World opens, it will be the day of the opening of version 4.0, when players will return and start the cross-star mode, players from all regions will flock to the Shining World, and enter a new stage of their careers in this world server activities.
Compared with other players who went to the Shining World in the first phase, the Black Star Legion players undoubtedly had an advantage, and Han Xiao let them get in touch with the Shining World in advance in 3.0.
Han Xiao has been waiting for this day for a long time, and now the Black Star Legion has the confidence to meet the impact of players in the new stage, and at the same time, it is also an opportunity to expand the leek field on a large scale.
Thanks to his efforts, the Legion has become the largest private force in the world, providing players with more convenience and higher attractiveness.
For more than ten years, the combat power and service ability of the cadres under his command have improved, and Han Xiao has not been idle, he has expanded the mechanical corps, improved the dimensional factory, and at the same time, he has also continued to transform more first-generation mechanical life to help the development of mechanical civilization.
Although he still hasn't figured out how to make cosmic treasures, Han Xiao occasionally sent out mechanical troops to look for opportunities in various places, obtain some easy-to-get expertise, complete tasks, and hoard a lot of random rewards, and the main quest of [Shining World] has also made several links.
The experience in hand is basically spent on upgrading skills, so as to obtain potential points and use them to improve professional knowledge, so the personal level has not improved much, and it is still in the early 300s.
In addition, Han Xiao also referred to other super A-level and collected more qi cultivation methods, slowly increasing the upper limit of qi with long-term exercise.
Due to the existence of the panel, the speed of his skill training can be quantified, and the efficiency far exceeds that of other super A-level, and the overall improvement is very considerable.
After more than ten years of accumulation, now Han Xiao's background is finally not thin, and he is barely worthy of the identity of a peak super A-level mechanic.
However, these years of low-key are in contrast to the previous ones, and it is estimated that many forces in the outside world think that my personal strength has stagnated. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, just wait for the opening of 4.0, my strength can really usher in a new period of rapid growth...... Han Xiao said secretly.
"Godfather, I have a request."
At this moment, Nilo stepped forward.
"You say." Han Xiao turned his head to look over, the current Nilo has grown up, although his appearance is the same as more than ten years ago, and he has not grown taller, but he has faded from his childishness and his temperament is much calmer.
Over the years, Nilo has been his right-hand man and has helped a lot.
"I want to take a leave of absence for a while, go back to Hailanxing to accompany my father, and bring Mia back by the way." Nilo's tone was slightly dark.
"Well, then you can go back and spend time with him."
Bennett is getting older and older, and as the leader of the Blue Star, he has always been busy with work, and Nilo occasionally asks for leave to see him, so Han Xiao naturally has no opinion.
After checking the work of the cadres, the communicator suddenly rang.
Han Xiao glanced at it, waved his hand to let everyone stand back, and then answered the communication, and Tarrokov's figure appeared on the virtual screen.
"Black Star, the opening of the Shining World is imminent, you already know what to prepare, I have something else to look for you today."
"Say."
"In the past few years, there have been several star fields that have given birth to new super A-level, I guess you have also paid attention to it. One of them has chosen to join the Empire, and will soon go to the Red Ring Star to meet His Excellency the FΓΌhrer, and the Empire is ready to gather Super A-level allies to meet him, do you plan to meet him? β
Every new super A-level recruit has such treatment, and Han Xiao was the same at the beginning.
In the past ten years, new super A-level people have been born one after another, but they are all in other star fields, and there are still no newcomers in the Broken Star Ring except for Han Xiao.
And now, he can't be considered a newcomer either.
Glancing at the information sent by the empire, Han Xiao's heart moved, this person was the super A-level who joined the empire at this stage in his previous life, and he still made the same choice this time.
"Okay, then I'll go see him too."
Han Xiao agreed, but his thoughts couldn't help drifting away.
The opening of 4.0 is imminent, and I don't know how Hella is doing.
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
A barren cosmic belt.
Ameth was suspended in the outer space of a planet, overlooking the earth, her dark and deep eyes reflecting the infinite dark red.
Red energy was like a tidal wave, washing over the surface of the planet, and countless bones were swept by the red energy and turned into powder in an instant.
The hard earth seems to have turned into clay, with the source of the energy explosion as the central point, forming a crater, and the area is still expanding rapidly.
Suddenly, the flood of red energy turned into a tsunami-like wave, soaring into the sky, and on the top of the wave, a red figure stood, as if walking on a sea of blood.
Under the transformation of the species, the delicate face is even more cold, full of indifference to life and death.
Seeing this, Ames chuckled.
"Welcome to the super-A realm."
