Shattered Star Ring, the Red Empire's military stargate station.

The Black Star Legion transports sailed out of the blue vortex stargate one after another, and the blue spatial energy wrapped around the hull shield was like mist, quickly dissipating.

"I'm back." In the command room of the main ship, Han Xiao let out a breath.

Although the Central Star Sea is prosperous and stable, the shadow of a cosmic-level civilization shrouds the star field, like a big mountain, bringing him invisible pressure. Although the Shattered Star Ring is remote and chaotic, it has been here for more than twenty years, and it is the base camp of the legion, which gives him a sense of peace of mind and relaxation.

Ames walked up to him with long legs, looked at the cosmic scene outside the porthole, and said, "I'm very happy to travel with you for the past two months, and since I'm home, I'll go first." ”

"In such a hurry? Come with us. ”

"Long Tan has recently drifted to another star cluster, and I am not the same as you."

Hearing this, Han Xiao had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll let someone give you a spaceship, by the way, the preparations on the imperial side are almost complete, I will set off in the near future and lead the army to explore the Shining World, do you want to come along?" There are a lot of new and interesting things that you will encounter. ”

Ames waved her hand, "That's the Red Empire's mission, so I won't go with me." ”

Isolt on the side stroked his beard and interjected, "Yesterday I had a new prophecy by chance, which is related to the Shining World. ”

Another prophecy? Han Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said curiously: "Old man, did you help me predict again?" ”

"Well, let me explain first, I didn't specifically help you, anyone who is close to me will have some kind of fate entanglement with me, and my ability can randomly perceive some things that may encounter these people in the future, just like a dream, very vague, basically just a premonition.

Yesterday, I had a sense of what you were exploring the shining world, and I had a gut feeling......"

Speaking of this, Isolt paused, his tone became solemn, and he reminded, "You'd better be careful of the Ethereal Spirit Sect. ”

Ethereal Sect? Don't they want to snatch back the evolution cube, it seems that this is the only possibility.

Han Xiao blinked, and seeing that Aesop didn't say anything, he couldn't help but wonder: "Just this reminder?" Don't have useful information about time and place? ”

Aesop spread her hands, "In the distant future, the situation can change at any time, how can there be accurate prediction, just this intuition, there is nothing else." ”

"Got it, I'll keep an eye on it, let people keep an eye on the movements of the Star Pupil Protoss, if the Ethereal Spirit Sect wants to deal with me, Sisko will definitely not be idle."

Han Xiao nodded and patted Aesop's arm.

"Oh yes, there's one more thing." Isolt scratched her beard and said, "I've heard that some of the Ancients are secretly asking for information about you, and several members of the Ancients seem to be interested in you. ”

Han Xiao's heart moved, he glanced at Aesop from top to bottom, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you hear about it?" ”

"Anyway, I used to be one of them, isn't it strange how many friends I have?"

Aesop snorted, shrugged her shoulders and said:

"I followed you to the Imperial capital and showed up in front of the group of Imperial allies, Ravenslaw shared my information with the other Ancients, and now the group knows that I, a former member, are with you and Ames at this time, and some friends have contacted me."

Hearing this, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Aesop, an old immortal, has unfathomable qualifications and connections, and can always get some information that ordinary people can't get.

It's really an old family, if there is a treasure......

"Who's asking me about it?"

"Machine, Sunhunter, Void Lord......" Aesop's tone suddenly sank, and he whispered, "There are also ten thousand shadows." ”

In the previous few ancient people, except for the Weapon Country, Han Xiao had not yet intersected. The Sun Hunter was a gunner, and the Void Lord was a Void Creature, so he didn't know why he was inquiring about him, but as soon as Aesop mentioned Ten Thousand Shadows, Han Xiao's eyes immediately narrowed.

The "shadow warrior" who interrogated Wan Ying was Aesop's help, and Isolt also knew that Wan Ying had plotted against him, so he took the initiative to mention this matter, which was a reminder.

"Maybe he still wants to continue to deal with me, he is in the star field of the Radiant Federation, I can't do anything with him for the time being, and I will settle accounts with him later." Han Xiao's face did not change, and he kept this matter in his heart.

The [Prey] quest has not moved, he didn't know if Wan Ying had given up on dealing with him before, but now it seems that this guy is suspected of being a thief, but his strength is not what it used to be, and it is not something that Wan Ying can easily deal with.

At this time, Ames suddenly spoke up and said softly, "Black Star, I've been thinking about something recently, and I want to discuss it with you. ”

Han Xiao turned his head to look at Ames, and caught a look of hesitation on her face, which was rare in Ames, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What are you going to talk to me about? Is it to borrow money? Is 50 million inar enough? ”

"Who borrowed money from you? Do you think I'm poor? Ames's smoky eyebrows twitched slightly, "Actually...... I've been thinking about Longtan's development plan lately......"

Han Xiao and Isolt stared at each other at the same time, with shocked expressions.

"You've changed sex? Is this something you should be thinking about? ”

"Am I so unreliable in your heart?" Ames was helpless, "I'm the leader of Longtan, and it's strange to worry about the forces once in a while. ”

"It's okay to put it on someone else, but it's on you...... It's really weird! Who doesn't know how lazy you are...... Ahem, what a natural indifference. ”

Han Xiao hurriedly changed his words to hide his smile. Ames has been a shopkeeper for so many years, guarding Longtan to live her life as a housemaid, and she has never thought of developing the camp, her image of salted fish has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the ghost knows why she suddenly had a whim.

"No kidding, I'm serious this time." Ames's beautiful eyes swept and glared at Han Xiao.

She has always had little enthusiasm for the development of forces, but after such a long time, she has also given birth to a mind of quiet thought. And in the past ten years, she has seen Han Xiao lead the rise of the Black Star Legion step by step, and having such an example has made her a little interested in the development of forces, and she wants to emulate Han Xiao and run Longtan better, which has nothing to do with ambition, Ames mainly regards this as fun.

After a long time of salted fish, I always have to find something to do.

However, Ames would not admit to Han Xiao that her interest was aroused by Han Xiao's deeds.

"Okay, I'll just take it as true......" Seeing that Ames's eyes were not good, Han Xiao couldn't hold back a smile and waved his hand, "Don't laugh, let's get down to business, what do you want to discuss with me when you develop Longtan?" ”

Ames was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Longtan has been wandering in the universe for a long time, and I want to find a place to stay. ”

Han Xiao thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yo, this idea is quite reliable, with a fixed location of the base camp, it is easier for people to have confidence in Long Tan, as a super A-level, you have extraordinary appeal, as long as you reverse the inherent impression of the Shattered Star Ring Superpower on you, and show the momentum of serious expansion, there will definitely be dozens or hundreds of times more people willing to work for you than now."

Han Xiao touched his chin, looked at Ames, and quipped, "What's more, you're still so good-looking, I'm afraid your appeal is stronger than mine." ”

Hearing this, Ames's face turned strange, staring at Han Xiao in a shocked tone:

"So you think I'm good-looking?!"

"What's so strange about this......"

Han Xiao was confused, and he didn't know where Amess had such a big reaction.

Shaking his head, Han Xiao returned to the topic and asked, "Have you chosen the address where Long Tan will stay?" ”

"That's what I'm going to discuss with you......"

Ames cleaned up her mood for a while, and seemed to hesitate for half a second before she said slowly: "I'm going to let Long Tan stay in the Sea Blue Star for a long time, what do you think?" ”

Han Xiao was stunned.

"Can't you?"

Ames raised her eyebrows, smiling rather than smiling, "More than ten years ago, your home planet suffered a disaster, and you announced through the interstellar media that Aqua Blue Star is the planet that Long Tan is looking at...... You don't want to regret it. ”

Han Xiao shook his head helplessly, back then, the Black Star Mercenary Group was only a younger brother-level force, and it did not separate from Long Tan, relying on the banner of Long Tan, so that Sea Blue Star had the opportunity to quickly develop and step into the interstellar world.

After the separation, the Black Star Legion took over the management of Aqua Blue Star, Long Tan didn't ask, he thought that Ames didn't care, but he didn't expect it to be mentioned now.

"Since the sea blue star is nominally the planet that my Long Tan is in charge of......," Ames's beautiful eyes smiled, Han Xiaodan's painful expression made her feel happy, and she chuckled: "Then it is also justified for my Long Tan to use the sea blue star as the location of the base camp." ”

"Are you still going to drive my people away from their home planet?" Han Xiao was surprised, the Sea Blue Star was the foundation that supported him to obtain the seat of the Shattered Star Ring Civilization Council, and it was impossible to give it to others.

"Do you think I'm such a person?" Ames said angrily: "Don't worry, I'm like your legion headquarters, staying in the outer space of the planet, and I won't interfere in the power of the sea blue star, isn't this discussing with you." ”

Han Xiao's eyes moved, if this was the case, it would not only be a bad thing, but a great thing.

The legion headquarters has been stationed in Golden Gate Star for so many years, which has brought unparalleled development opportunities to Golden Gate Star, and the economy and public security have been greatly improved, and it has become a prosperous colonial star of Godora.

If Ames does this, the development speed of Aqua Blue Star will also soar again, and indirectly obtain more resources. And with Ames, a super A-level neighbor, the safety of Hailanxing will also skyrocket, reducing worries.

The thought flashed, Han Xiao understood Ames's thoughts, and chose Sea Blue Star as the base camp of Longtan, which was far more than just a legitimate reason, and sighed: "It seems that I owe you a personal favor again." ”

"It's good to know, it's cheap for you." Ames's eyes curled.

"I promise you, when the time comes, I will let the legion branch of Sea Blue Star cooperate with you, and I will let Sivia deal with the specific details......"

"Well, then I'll let Jenny take care of it for me......"

Speaking of Jenny, Han Xiao suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did you inform Jenny of this matter in advance?" ”

"Nope."

Hearing this, the two stared at each other and were silent for a long time.

Aren't you still thinking that your head is hot...... Han Xiao secretly complained, he thought that Amess had really thought it through, and sure enough, this was her way of acting.

"Ahem, it's over, then I'm leaving." Ames covered her mouth with her fist, coughed twice to hide her embarrassment, and then turned around and walked away.

Han Xiao watched as Amess and Aesop got on a small spaceship, broke away from the fleet, and disappeared from sight as a streamer. He then ordered the fleet to move on and return to the corps headquarters.

The cross-star field has been completed, Han Xiao opened the forum and looked at the players' reactions.

Just passed through the Star Gate, and the more than 700,000 players in the fleet didn't have any special reaction, but the players of the Shattered Star Ring reacted even more, precisely because players from other star fields came to their territory and couldn't wait to get in touch.

The example of the player's first cross-star field is of great significance, and players from all major star fields have recorded this moment in their own chronicle posts:

"Xinghai Calendar, March 18, 705.

Guided by the Black Star Legion, 700,000 players left the constellation corridor and arrived at the Shattered Star Ring, which was the first successful cross-star operation for all Star Sea players. ”

This time, the recruitment of players in the constellation corridor was very smooth, and Han Xiao knew the reason for this, because the 3.0 version of the player could not choose enough camps, and he understood the needs of players, so the Black Star Legion was the best in the camp at this stage, and it was more attractive, even if the player regarded him as a transitional camp, he was also the first choice.

As the player's level gets higher and higher, there are more and more powerful factions to choose from, such as the three cosmic-level civilizations and the super-star cluster civilization, and it will not be so easy for the legion to attract recruiting players. It's inevitable, and there will always be people trying out new camps for the sake of a novel experience.

Han Xiao tirelessly expanded the legion and improved the competitiveness of the camp, which was also a rainy day. In a sense, the remote and chaotic Broken Star Ring as a base camp is a good thing, reducing direct competitors.

……

After more than ten days of sailing, the fleet finally returned to the corps headquarters.

At this time, millions of Shattered Star Ring players gathered at the Legion Headquarters, looking forward to meeting the outside players in the Constellation Corridor, and many more came to see the excitement.

And the more than 700,000 constellation corridor players in the fleet looked through the portholes at the gradually enlarged legion headquarters satellite base in the outside world, and their excitement was like feathers, constantly stirring their hearts.

After spending so many days on the ship with anticipation, I finally arrived at the place.
