Soon, the communicator shot out an inverted cone of mimic projection light, quickly sweeping the room, and everywhere it passed, the scene of the room changed from time to time, and it became the conference room where Ulanriel and a group of high-ranking military officials were, as if they were there.

Han Xiao glanced at it and found that all the people present were high-ranking military officials, staring at him with curiosity, scrutiny, appreciation, amazement, and other emotions in their eyes, and they were very interested in him.

"Black Star, you have made a great contribution to this incident, and the Empire will commend you for your contributions." Ulan Ruier on the main seat stared at Han Xiao with praise in his tone.

"I'm just saving myself." On this occasion of the gathering of the high-level leaders of the empire, Han Xiao couldn't help but say a word, humbly, very comfortable.

"In any case, you have credit." Ulanriel made a rare polite remark, and then returned to business, "Tarrokov has already described the process of this battle just now, but I want to hear your version, there are some questions that you still need to answer." ”

Han Xiao didn't care, looking at this battle from a super A-level perspective, the information he had was naturally different, he told it from beginning to end, and the clip about the panel was simply brought over.

Ulanriel nodded and asked, "I wonder if your means of resisting and sealing the Scepter of the Gods is a new cosmic treasure. ”

"Well, it's something I stumbled upon while exploring the Shining World, a cosmic wonder."

"I see." Ulan Ruier didn't ask about the name and function of the space-time amber, if Black Star was willing to say it, she would naturally say it, if she didn't want to, she wouldn't be reluctant to make a meritorious contribution, super A-level of course has the qualifications to keep her own ability secret, she just needs to make sure that Black Star is her own person.

"I sealed the Scepter of the Gods, and if nothing else, it will be difficult for the Ethereal Spirit Sect to break my sealing methods, but they don't know it yet...... The Scepter of the Gods is a cosmic treasure that they value, and they may negotiate with the Empire in private. ”

Hearing this, Ulanruiel's eyes moved slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Are you sure it will be difficult for them to break the seal?" ”

"There are no absolutes in everything, maybe the Ethereal Spirit Sect can research something, but in terms of probability, the success rate of their cracking is very low, and it is likely that only I can help them unlock the seal of the Wanshen Scepter."

"I know, if it's really like what you said, we still underestimate your merits, the Ethereal Spirit Sect loses the Scepter of the Gods, and their deterrent power of super A-level combat power will drop by a notch, I have decided to fight back against the Ethereal Spirit Sect, and the chance of accidental casualties in the empire's super A-level combat power has been reduced by you, very good." Ulanriel paused, "However, the matter of the Lighthouse Star has made the relationship between the two sides tense, and in a short period of time, the Ethereal Spirit Sect will not negotiate with us privately, but will pretend to have broken the seal. ”

"Well, you're right." Han Xiao thought about it, indeed, if the empire wants to fight back, the Void Spirit Sect will not give in easily, it is very likely to slap a swollen face and become fat, secretly anxious and unable to break the seal, but on the surface, he pretends to be a big-tailed wolf, strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

"Also, regarding the issue of the Alien Gods, the Illitarian Sect has actually cooperated with the notorious Ark of the Fallen, and the Empire will issue a statement to the entire universe condemning the actions of the Illusory Sect......" Ulanriel changed his words, "Don't worry, the Empire has no problem with your use of the Evolution Cube's behavior to satisfy the Alien God this time." ”

Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then realized that his impulsive plot against the alien god had taken effect, but in essence, he had made a deal with the alien god. But the empire is not unreasonable, if it is a private deal with the alien god, it will naturally not be cleared, but at this critical moment, he has no choice, and it is helpless to openly pry with the alien god in front of everyone, Ulanriel said that he will not pursue this matter, which means that the empire will not allow anyone to use this matter to attack the reputation of the black star.

From these words, Han Xiao realized that Ulan Ruier was trying to win him over to become a member of the Führer's family, and personally summoning him was not only a compliment, but also an expression of this attitude. The power of the empire is so huge, naturally it can't avoid the natural law of infighting, there are many factions, this time Han Xiao has made a contribution, there will be no problem when the limelight is in full swing, but after a while, maybe there will be some factions to play on the topic.

"If there is an Imperial Super A-level death this time, or if I don't capture Di Lun, maybe someone will take advantage of this and force me to turn in the evolution cube...... Han Xiao was secretly surprised, he just ended the battle, he didn't think about it, and at this time, after Ulan Ruier's vague reminder, he understood the Führer's kindness.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Han Xiao bowed.

Ulanriel snorted, "What are you going to do with Di Lun?" ”

"I've decided to hand it over to the Empire." Han Xiao said slowly: "The Void Spirit Sect has returned this time, they will not easily attack the Evolution Cube, but if I keep Di Lun as a prisoner, the Void Spirit Sect will take care of the views of its allies, and will never sit idly by, and will definitely take rescue measures, I don't want this incident to happen again." Once again, I may not be as lucky as I am today, so I might as well hand it over to the Empire and use it as a bargaining chip with the Ethereal Spirit Sect. ”

Although he repelled the Ethereal Spirit Sect this time, if he imprisoned Di Lun as an individual, it would not only be a slap in the face, but a face of the Ethereal Spirit Sect and crushing on the ground, people are a cosmic-level civilization, and it is no problem to fight back, but it can completely anger the other party, nine out of ten of them have no good fruit to eat, Di Lun is a hot potato, and the disadvantages of staying in his hands far outweigh the benefits, it is better to hand it over to the empire, in exchange for greater credit, and obtain a large wave of camp contributions, which can be exchanged for ultimate knowledge.

"You did the right thing, I thought the same way, I wanted to persuade you, but since you are willing to turn it in, it will be even better."

A rare smile appeared on Ulan Ruier's cold face, knowing that Han Xiao had taken her olive branch, he smiled faintly, "This time you have a lot of credit, in addition to the Empire's praise and support for you and the Black Star Legion, you can mention any other needs." ”

The empire will definitely give the Black Star Legion greater resource support this time, this point does not need to be emphasized, Han Xiao put forward what he expected the most.

"I hope to get more ultimate knowledge."

"Well, no problem." Ulanriel agreed, "I'll instruct the head of the Imperial Logistics Bureau to speak directly to you, and you just need to make a request to him." ”

It is impossible for the head of the empire to be personally responsible for such a trivial matter as exchanging knowledge.

Han Xiao smiled and nodded, secretly calculating, the credit he made this time must be more than one ultimate knowledge, and at this level of knowledge, each of them can bring a huge increase to the combat power of the mechanic.

However, it is impossible to get all the ultimate knowledge at one time, it is true to make a contribution, but the reward also has rules to follow, and the ultimate knowledge is one of the important means to attract super A-level joining, even if it is a direct super-A-level of the empire, it is also necessary to slowly make meritorious service in exchange.

"The impact of this incident will affect the situation in the whole universe." Ulanriel resumed his serious tone of talking about business, and said in a deep voice: "The Ethereal Spirit Sect provokes, the Empire must fight back, and the Radiant Federation has always liked to bet on both ends, so our energy to explore the Shining World will be constrained, and the three major civilizations will tilt each other, and those super star cluster civilizations will take this opportunity to increase their efforts to infiltrate the Shining World, which is exactly what the Void Spirit and Radiance want to see, forcing the Empire to deal with multiple problems at the same time, so as to make us fall into the quagmire." ”

Han Xiao knew that Ulan Ruier must have a purpose in saying this, and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"We need to deter the super-star cluster-level civilization, so we will successively recall some super-A-level combat forces and troops guarding the shining world, of course, their forces are still exploring the shining world."

Han Xiao didn't speak, he knew what Ulan Ruier meant, it was impossible for the empire to keep so many super A-level people in the Shining World, this idea must have been there for a long time, but he didn't care, he and Heber's territory was in the adjacent Broken Star Ring, and it was unlikely that they would be recalled.

Seeing this, Ulanriel changed his words and asked, "Black Star, what do you think of the current situation of the Empire?" ”

"It's no different from you, the struggle is mainly around the Shining World, not everyone can participate in the competition, and the aftermath of the red tide is gradually cooling, so the interstellar society will not be affected, and those cluster-level and galaxy-level civilizations will become a little more peaceful." Han Xiao shrugged.

"Maybe." Ulanriel nodded slowly, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any suggestions for the Empire's counterattack plan?" ”

Han Xiao's heart moved slightly, the head of state discussed the empire's plan with him, and he might not adopt his own suggestions, but this gesture represented that his status and voice within the empire had risen.

After thinking about it, Han Xiao's eyes flashed, he coughed, and said: "It is necessary for the empire to take a counterattack, but the center of gravity can be adjusted, the Ethereal Spirit Sect is also a universe-level civilization, and counterattacking them is just a necessary attitude, presumably His Excellency the Führer also knows that it is difficult to have results." ”

"Go on."

"If you want me to say, we should focus on revenge against the alien gods, the alien gods also participated in the battle of the Beacon Star, he is much easier to deal with than the Ethereal Spirit Sect, it just so happens that the barren cosmic belt in the middle of the central star sea has always been the default battlefield for the three major civilizations to rub against each other, just by the way to deal with the alien gods, if it can eradicate the Ark of the Fallen, the empire will show a vigorous counterattack means, which is more deterrent."

This event is a good opportunity to convince the Empire to deal with the Alien Gods vigorously, and if you can get the help of the Empire, the chances of killing the Alien Gods are even higher.

Ulanriel was noncommittal, and said lightly: "I will let people analyze your suggestion, the top priority now is to pursue the fleet of the Ethereal Spirit Sect and the Alien Gods, and when reinforcements arrive, you will obey Tarrokov's command and cooperate with the Imperial fleet...... If we hit us, we want to run, it's not that easy! ”

After speaking, Ulan Ruier greeted Han Xiao, "You go and rest first, when the pursuit is fighting, you still need to continue fighting." ”

"Okay."

When the call ends, the mimic projection of the room disappears and changes back to its original state.

Han Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly happy in his heart, the merits of this battle made him brush a wave of presence in front of the top of the empire, and his identity in the hearts of others changed from a new ally to a reliable imperial super A-level, and he was also won over by the head of state, and his status and influence were thus improved.

Putting away the communicator, Han Xiao found that a new prompt popped up on the panel, and opened it to take a look.

[You gain 1 political asset]

[Political Asset (1): Red Empire]

[You have made great contributions to the Red Empire and gained some political influence - you can make a proposal to the Red Empire, and depending on the reasonableness of the suggestion, the Red Empire has a certain chance of adopting it]

[You have a higher status in the Red Empire - gain +30% Opinion Cumulative Efficiency when interacting with certain factions or characters]

[You have valuable experience - +30% efficiency in gaining experience in all forms]

[Note: The above effect is conditional on the Red Empire faction relationship remaining at [Reverence]]

"Yo, I thought there were only legendary rewards, no political assets." Han Xiao was taken aback, and then realized that this was an additional reward triggered by Ulan Ruier's attention.

However, it is not easy to keep this political asset effective, and he needs to spend the faction contribution to exchange for ultimate knowledge, that is, to ensure that the contribution is not less than 6000 points, that is, he is 50% off the cost of exchanging an ultimate knowledge.

Han Xiao looked at the following prompt, and his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

[You gain 10,000 Red Empire Contribution]

[You gain an additional 5000 Red Empire Contribution]

"I didn't get the contribution ...... until I finished talking to Ulan Ruier" Han Xiao pinched his chin, he has an NPC panel, and he can reward the contribution of members of the Black Star Legion at will, and Ulan Ruiel is the leader of the faction, the principle is the same, but Ulan Ruiel is unconscious.

10,000 contribution points is the harvest of this battle, and the additional 5,000 points are estimated to be the credit of handing over Di Lun, plus the more than 3,000 imperial contributions he saved, it is more than 18,000 points.

"Just enough to exchange for three ultimate knowledge." Han Xiao's eyes lit up.

Ultimate knowledge is not the same as cutting-edge knowledge, the empire will not give it directly, it is still a way of exchange, and the care that Ulanriel said seems to be in the form of giving some more contributions.

"In this way, I can exchange two pieces of knowledge, leaving 6,000 points to maintain the role of political assets, but I am not in a hurry to change them all."

Turning off the panel, Han Xiao felt satisfied, and felt a sense of joy that he finally got the harvest after hard work.

And at this moment, a burst of blue light suddenly lit up outside the porthole, reflecting on his angular and youthful face.

Turning his head to look out the window, he saw that not far from the lighthouse star, the star gate was finally assembled and activated, and the dark blue spatial energy vortex was spinning rapidly in the star gate ring.

"It's finally here."

……

With the passage of time, groups of support fleets sailed out of the stargate, including the direct fleet of the Empire, the allies of a star cluster-level civilization such as Krent, and the super A-level forces such as the Black Star Legion and the War Domain.

Most of these are troops stationed around the strongholds on the edge of the three star clusters, and if the Ethereal Spirit Sect attacks the current Lighthouse Star, the only end is to be quickly annihilated and hoisted and beaten.

"The battle is over?!"

Among Tarrokov's main ship, Herber, who left behind the main fleet and rushed back in a high-warp spaceship, Ravenlaud, who borrowed arcane teleportation and stargate passage to help, and Maximirol, who was remotely projected, gathered together and sat opposite Han Xiao and the four of them.

Knowing that the Lighthouse Star forces had repelled the enemy without support, the three Herbers couldn't help but look shocked.

In this situation of crushing combat power, the lighthouse star actually held on?

Blackstar turned the tide of the Super A-class battlefield and, not only that, but also captured an opponent alive.

Herber and Ravenlaud were in mixed moods, they thought they were the saviors, but they didn't expect that before they came, Han Xiao forced the enemy back, as if they were not needed at all......

However, this thought did not last long, although it was too late, but they knew that it was precisely because of the pressure of reinforcements that the Ethereal Spirit Sect would retreat, and when they thought about it like this, they felt much better, and they would not be a soy sauce.

"Black Star, I heard that you got a new cosmic treasure in the Shining World, and you used it to block the Scepter of the Gods?" Raven Lauder asked, unable to sit still.

"That's right." Han Xiao smiled.

Hearing this, Ravenlaud had mixed feelings in his heart, he and Black Star were also exploring the same star cluster, proving that this unknown cosmic treasure was in the Gaul Star Cluster, but Black Star was the first to ascend...... If it weren't for the Black Star, maybe this cosmic treasure would be his?

Ravenslaud felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

Herber turned to look at Austin and frowned, "Why are you here?" You've joined the Empire too? ”

"I'm here to help Blackstar." Austin smirked.

Herber turned his eyes around Han Xiao and Austin twice, and his heart was full of unhappiness, when did the relationship between these two become so good?

Both Ames and Austin became friends with Blackstar, and Herb felt like he was alone in the Shattered Ring.

But as soon as he thought about it, he thought of Sisko's situation, there was no harm if there was no comparison, and his heart was immediately much more balanced.

However, Herber was not happy, Black Star played a record of capturing the super A level alive this time, which is something he has been pursuing for many years, but he was obtained by Black Star, who had just entered the super A level for about a year, and Heber was a little autistic and wanted to beat people.

At this time, Tarrokov spoke:

"I have already dispatched troops from all over the country to block the escape routes of the two fleets of Sagman and the Alien Gods, His Excellency Maximirol has not yet arrived, don't wait, our side has gathered six super A-class, ready to launch a pursuit."

His so-called pursuit is not simply chasing behind, but dispatching the Imperial fleets that shine all over the world to delay the other party's journey, block the route, and according to the direction of the enemy's escape, send the Imperial troops in advance to search for the enemy's secret stargate. All in all, it is to mobilize all the forces of the empire in the shining world, and use all means to encircle and intercept them.

On the star map, the fleets of the Ethereal Cult and the Alien Gods were displayed as a red ball, rapidly moving away, fleeing separately, and in the direction of their escape, blue dots of light representing the Imperial forces were sealing the way.

At this time, the reinforcements arrived, and with the fresh army, they could rest assured that they could pursue, and Milizaus and Beoni had no opinion this time.

Austin said that he would go home to repair the Temple of Secret Law and not participate in the actions of the Empire, and Tarrokov would not force the outsiders invited by Han Xiao.

Heber sorted out his mood for a while, and suddenly realized that this was an opportunity, maybe he could fulfill his wish and kill a super A-class.

Thinking of this, Heber perked up, his fist squeezed hard, the force was huge, and he let out an air explosion with a bang, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, Metes, I've heard the name of this guy, leave it to me to deal with." ”

"The dignity of the empire cannot be provoked, Milizaus's injuries are not healed, so let Nica give it to me." Ravenlaud's eyes lit up with an arcane glow.

External enemies have always been a good medicine to resolve internal contradictions, and as a member of the empire, after letting go of the temporary competitive relationship, he also gave birth to a sense of hatred and hatred.

"Then I'll have my long-range mechs support." Maxirol, the only super A-level mechanic who was not present, looked at Han Xiao, "Black Star, your mechanical legion has suffered heavy losses, if you need it, my legion can lend it to you temporarily." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Han Xiao nodded, stood up, and looked around at all the super A-level people present, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and there was a sharp edge in his tone.

"Since that's the case, let's take action and see if they can easily escape back to the Central Star Sea!"

The roles have been reversed,

The hunter becomes the prey, and the prey becomes the hunter.

It's time to fight back – it's coming!
