Shining World, Emerald Star Cluster, Black Star Legion Division.

Hundreds of ships of various colors and models were docked in the silver-white air docks, and groups of crews that clearly did not belong to the legion came out of them. They stepped onto the platform, looked curiously to the left and right, and chattered in loose columns under the command of heavily armed legionnaires.

"It's finally in place, it's worthy of being the base of the Black Star Legion, and it's heavily defended at a glance."

"Haha, my resume has been screened four times, and it has finally passed the review, and we will also be members of the Black Star Legion in the future."

"I hope to go to a position with high benefits......

"I don't know if I can meet Black Star this time, according to the custom, every batch of newcomers has to have a joining ceremony, and the legion commander should meet with us, right? Even if it's his doppelganger. ”

Everyone had a more or less excited look on their faces, and this group of people were all interstellar mercenaries who had applied through the examination.

Now that the Black Star Legion's sphere of influence spreads across multiple star domains, and various businesses have brought abundant capital flows, the Legion has been recruiting new people, especially after Han Xiao was hired as a senior advisor to the three major civilizations, the strength of recruitment has reached a new peak.

After years of Han Xiao's operation, the Legion already has irreplaceable influence in the universe, according to market research, if the free superpowers who are mixed with the interstellar society must join a camp, 41.3% of them list the Black Star Legion as the first choice, even surpassing the three major civilizations.

By analogy, the status of the Black Star Legion is probably equivalent to the top high-quality enterprises in the "Fortune 500", and the potential is still being realized, and the prospects are broad.

While everyone was discussing excitedly, a legion spaceship sailed into the VIP orbit of the airport, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, only to see that the ship's outer armor had two insignia, one was the emblem of the legion, and the other was the red snake badge with a dark red background, which was the separate emblem of Hela's department.

With a snort, the hatch opened, and a group of female armed men in red light armor walked out neatly, guarding on both sides of the gangway, and the emblem of the armor on their chests indicated that they were Hela's elite warband, nicknamed "Three-Headed Snake Rangers".

As the deputy commander of the corps, Hela has a lot of authority in his hands, and has already formed a personal guard team, and has recruited some guard officers like Han Xiao.

Stomp ......

There was a crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the ground, and Hela stepped out of the hatch.

She wore a pair of red sunglasses on the bridge of her tall nose, snake-shaped silver earrings on her ears, a gorgeous red uniform similar to a women's suit, with gold wires outlined around the edges, and a black and gold high-necked cloak on her shoulders, the collar of which was a circle of red fluff, and the whole person was full of aura.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, and many of them looked admiring, even the legionnaires around her.

"She is the second-in-command of the legion, Hela, the goddess of death, and her aura is really ......strong."

"It would be nice to work under her." Someone had a look of longing.

"Only the elite of the legion are eligible to be selected as high-level guards, not even us, are you thinking about fart?" The legionnaire snorted.

At this moment, Hela came to the front of the crowd with her personal guards, glanced at everyone present, and her own powerful aura spread, and the commotion of the crowd gradually stopped, and the originally excited people only felt a sense of oppression surging in their hearts, and they didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Hela lightly opened her lips and said in a cold voice:

"Recently, the corps commander is not here, my initiation ceremony is presided over by me, my time is precious, save those welcome steps, and test your strength directly, the legion speaks with strength, which is related to your position arrangement after joining the regiment, so try to stand in front of me for a long time."

After saying it in one breath, Hela didn't bother to explain to everyone, and directly released her own high-level coercion, sweeping the audience.

Before many of the people present could react, they felt a sense of horror coming, the pressure penetrated through the body and soul, and the whole body was trembling, and they were about to fall to the ground at any time.

Plop Plop Plop –

Groups of people couldn't withstand Hela's high-level coercion, and fell down in an uproar, and the longest support was only more than 30 seconds, their faces were frightened, and they gasped for breath, as if they were almost drowning.

Seeing this, Hela withdrew her coercion, looked at her watch, and said lightly: "The people in the top 10% of standing time can serve as squad leaders, as for the others, Philip will automatically assign positions according to your performance just now, and immediately join and dismiss the meeting." ”

After speaking, she didn't look at the crowd that fell to the ground, and turned around and entered the base with her guards.

Generally speaking, the newcomer's induction ceremony will introduce the history of the regiment and cultivate a sense of belonging, Hela does not have this leisure, from disembarkation to the completion of the test, the whole process does not exceed three minutes, vigorous and resolute.

Halfway down, Hela took out the communicator, summoned Philip, frowned and asked:

"Can you get in touch with Blackstar?"

"Can't hum ......" Philip lowered his head and pointed his finger at the point, guilty.

"Where the hell did this guy go? I lost contact for months! ”

Hela's face was cloudy.

She knew that Han Xiao had gone to the sub-dimensional world, and it was inconvenient to contact her, but even so, Han Xiao and Philip's main program would not be disconnected.

However, just a few months ago, Philip said that Han Xiao had completely lost contact and could not be contacted in any way, and Hela suddenly became vigilant and couldn't help but think of the Covenant Organization she had encountered in the secondary dimension.

Could it be that the commander of the legion has been besieged again?

Not...... It doesn't seem to be a surprise at all.

In order not to cause turmoil in the Legion and suspicion from the outside world, she asked Philip to block the news, maintaining the operation of the Legion on the surface, but secretly investing resources behind the scenes, quietly investigating the traces of the Black Star.

Han Xiao is the soul of the legion, as soon as he lost contact, the legion suddenly became much weaker in terms of super A-level, and Hela could only temporarily pick up the burden, terminate the exercise, return from the underworld, and sit in the legion.

After months of not finding news, Hela was secretly anxious.

She had already decided, if there was still no information after three months, she would call Ames and enter the sub-dimensional world to find Han Xiao.

Suddenly, Hela paused, with a strange look on her face.

"You guys are on standby, I'll leave first."

With these words, her figure suddenly disappeared, leaving the guards looking at each other on the ground.

……

Meanwhile.

Hela's figure appears in the Underworld dimension, and the land woman Oniselu appears.

"What are you calling me for?"

"I've noticed a bunch of strange creatures approaching the underworld, they seem to be cosmic-level creatures living in space storms, you know, the monsters born in this environment are not easy to deal with, I'm afraid they are species that feed on secondary dimensions." Oneselu expressed her concerns.

Hela frowned slightly, she was now as prosperous as the Underworld, and it was her duty to protect the Underworld.

"I'm going to fight them off."

She rose to her feet, turned into a red meteor, and soon flew out of the wall of space following Oniselu's instructions, but did not move away, just stood in the direction of the enemy's advance, and waited for the rabbit.

The dimensional energy of the Underworld formed a spherical film of light on Hela's body, providing defense while also preventing her from being swept away by spatial turbulence.

After waiting for a long time, a vortex wormhole suddenly appeared in the space storm, and huge space lice surged out, and the number was extremely amazing.

"So much?!" Hela subconsciously clenched her fists.

She has also mixed with the sub-dimensional world, and knows that there are some dangers here that can threaten super A-level life, although she has never seen air lice, but she instinctively feels threatened, proving that this group of monsters is not something that can be killed casually.

Although Hela is not worried about her own life, there are too many monsters, and she is only one person, and she does not dare to guarantee that she can protect the entire underworld.

"If only the Black Star were here......"

Faced with this situation, Hela couldn't help but miss Han Xiao's mechanical army.

"It's up to me now."

Hela lifted her strength, ready to strike first.

However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her mech communication channel, causing her movements to freeze in place.

"Hela?"

In the group of air lice, Han Xiao, who was driving away this group of cute people, sensed Hela's energy fluctuations, turned his head to look over, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

The next moment, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Hela with a void jump, and said with a smile:

"You haven't seen you in a while, do you miss me?"

"Want to ......" Hela subconsciously wanted to speak, but suddenly came back to her senses and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" Where have you been all this time? ”

"I went to the depths of the sub-dimensional world for a walk, where the signal is not good, I saw this group of cuties, this is my trophy, I plan to keep them in captivity around the underworld, just to act as a layer of defense, their combat power is considerable......"

Han Xiao babbled and introduced, pretending not to see Hela's performance of wanting to speak several times.

After losing contact for months, he knew that it would definitely cause Hela's doubts and worries, but he didn't plan to divulge the experience of the trip for the time being, so he decided to hide the truth and prevaricate the past.

After listening to it for a while, Hela couldn't help but interrupt Han Xiao's words and asked, "Do you know the impact of your loss of contact on us?" If I hadn't blocked the news, there would have been a lot of people in the legion right now......"

Han Xiao snorted, "You are the deputy commander of the legion, I still have you when I am away, there is no chaos, I believe in you." ”

Hearing this, Hela's expression looked a lot better.

She vaguely felt that Han Xiao was hiding something from herself, but people didn't say it, and she didn't want to ask more, the most important thing was that people came back.

Hela didn't ask any more, but just said, "Don't do this next time", and then turned her head to look at the group of willful-looking air lice, and said curiously:

"Together, this group of creatures can really compete in combat power comparable to the peak super A-level?"

"The attack power is a little worse, but the resistance can definitely reach this level, they feed on spatial turbulence, not only will not attack the secondary dimension, but will also give protection, they like the environment around the secondary dimension, they will generally settle down and use it as a nest, and attack all outsiders." Han Xiao nodded.

After catching a batch of air lice, he and Cthulye went home separately, and after some research on the way, he had already found out some of the habits of air lice, which can coexist harmoniously with secondary dimensions, which is very suitable for guarding the house, it is simply a natural guard, and placing it in the underworld can improve the safety here.

"Well, as long as it's not dangerous, let's keep them here, I'm okay."

Hela nodded and agreed, thought about it, and said, "The teacher came to look for you three times, but I blocked it back, you remember to talk to her." ”

"Hmm." Han Xiao responded and asked, "By the way, how was the situation of the association when I was away?" ”

"It's the same, nothing has changed, except that without the quarrel between you and McNison, everyone feels that the meeting is boring, and it's basically all desertion."

"These hangers will only count on me to live......"

The corners of Han Xiao's mouth twitched.

In the eyes of ordinary people, these super A-level are high and awe-inspiring, but in his eyes, this is a group of sullen guys.

After a few pleasantries, he rejected Hela's invitation to abuse, threw the lice in the underworld, and then directly teleported back to the Legion's base camp in the Shining Star Cluster with the Emperor.

……

As soon as his eyes flickered, Han Xiao returned to the legion office, and at a glance saw Sivia, who was sitting in his place with Erlang's legs crossed.

There was suddenly another person in the room, and Sylvia was startled, but after seeing clearly that it was Han Xiao, she calmed down, her eyes moved, not only did she not get up, but she deliberately put a pair of long legs on the table, snorted, and said in a strange way:

"Yo, isn't this Your Excellency Blackstar, do you know to come back? I thought you had forgotten about us. ”

Han Xiao didn't care, paced in front of Sylvia, smiled and touched Sylvia's dog head, felt the volume of hair, and smiled:

"Well, it seems that you have worked hard and hard in the past few months."

"Fuck off." Sylvia slapped Han Xiao's hand away, got up and moved out of the way, and said angrily: "I can't contact you in the past few months, and I have a backlog of affairs waiting for your approval, hurry up and deal with it, I'm waiting to ask for it." ”

After speaking, she didn't bother to pay attention to Han Xiao, turned her head and was about to leave, when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, turned back again, took away the coat on the back of the chair and the gold-wire glasses on the table, and glanced at Han Xiao by the way, and then opened the door and left.

"Tsk, the resentment is really not small."

Han Xiao pursed his lips, he naturally wouldn't bother with the bald little baby at home.

This trip has been huge, he has learned a lot of cosmic secrets, greatly expanded his cognition, and for him, returning to the explored universe feels like a world away. But in the eyes of the legion cadres, he had not seen him for a few months, and except for a few people, the others were not at all curious about where he had gone.

Han Xiao reconnected with Philip and encrypted and stored all the information recorded on this trip.

This technical treasure is too rich, even if it is a peak super A-level like him, the digestion time will be measured in ten years, and it will not be able to be studied for a while and a half. Although awakening points and experience points can speed up the progress of research, it is somewhat wasteful to use it, after all, it is difficult to replenish before the next version arrives, and it is not far from the 4.0 version update, and he is not in a hurry to digest it slowly if he has time.

He found a housekeeping robot and sprayed air freshener in the room to dispel the elegant body fragrance left by Sylvia, and then sat back in his position, while dealing with the backlog of affairs, and at the same time logged on to the forum to check the player's dynamics.

A few months have passed, the fourth professional league has been carried out to the international competition circle, played to the quarterfinals, Huaxia this time has two teams qualified, one is the most stable Dynasty team in the giants, the other is Jiangcheng.

After three league sessions, Jiangcheng is no longer a cutting-edge dark horse, but a stable and strong team.

The international group stage that has ended is the most dangerous schedule, and the crazy sniping of Chinese clubs from various countries is still effective, resulting in one less Chinese team that qualified for the quarterfinals this time than the previous one.

But from another point of view, clubs from all over the world have spared no effort to block, and some teams have to fight with the Huaxia team even if they don't want points.

Now the hopes of the whole village are on the dynasty and Jiang Cheng, as long as either team wins the championship, they can achieve the achievement of the Chinese dynasty of three consecutive championships, and no other team in the top eight wants to see this result. But when it comes to the quarterfinals, it is a dignified fight against each other, and it can't be encircled and suppressed in many ways like the group stage, and those Tianji horse racing tactics and some small means are useless, so they can only rely on hard power.

"When we get to the quarterfinals, we are not far from the end of the league, and there are two months left in version 4.0 at most...... I'll have to prepare. ”

Han Xiao said secretly.
