915 Surging Dark Tide
In the secret conference room of a certain base of the Blood Gold Organization, the remote projections of more than a dozen high-level organizations were launched one after another, with different species, bearded cosmic humans with black blindfolds covering their right eyes and looking like pirates, Andol Bee Clans with dark complexions and shriveled bodies and three pairs of citrine-like pupils on their faces, and Void Hunters with blue-purple streamlined carapaces all over their bodies.
The people here are not ordinary people, they have had their own bad deeds in different regions, most of them are burdened with high bounties from different civilizations, and their combat effectiveness in the natural disaster level is not ordinary, and now they are employed in the blood gold organization, and they control different teams under their command, and they rarely go out in person, and they are basically in a semi-retired state.
"Everyone knows what happened to us recently, the Red Empire and the Black Star Legion have taken sanctions against us, and three high-ranking members of the organization, Marlo, Van Cessna, and Indir have been assassinated and killed."
The leader of the Blood Gold Organization folded his hands, supported his nose, his posture was very classic, his eyes were very ecstatic, and his tone was very solemn.
The current Bloodgold Leader is a male humanoid, a Radiant Federationer, a genetically tuned elite race with a fierce appearance and in the prime of life.
Unlike the high-level people here, his foundation is quite clean, he is not a wanted criminal, but a group of elites cultivated by the previous leader of the Blood Gold Organization since childhood, and after the old man died, he took over the position of leader of the organization, and it has been more than thirty years.
The Blood Gold Organization itself is quite old, and the current leader of the organization is the twelfth generation leader.
The interstellar black market has existed longer than some galaxy-level or even cluster-level civilizations, and the managers have changed one after another, and the blood gold organization has only passed the assessment of other managers more than two hundred years ago and obtained the interstellar black market manager seat.
"Poor Maro, I owe him seven million two hundred and thirty thousand and fifty Inar and have not paid it back, he is such a good man, he even died in such a timely manner." An octopus-like high-ranking figure rubbed his eyes with his tentacles and squeezed out a little tear.
"Now is not the time to joke, the Red Empire has killed the top of our organization, which is clearly to deter us, punish us for stealing the goods of our allies in the Empire, and want us to retreat from the idea of fighting the Evolutionary Totem...... The question is how the high-level information leaked out. ”
The pitch-black Andor bee people have a high-pitched voice and speak slowly and coherently.
The Blood Gold Leader said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, Kronstadt's team encountered Blackstar's mechanical troops, and it should be Blackstar's personal action to lock down the whereabouts of the high-level...... Usually, only we deter others, but this time we are targeted by higher-level forces, the Red Empire and the Black Star Legion are not easy to mess with, we need to consider countermeasures. ”
"Hmph, the Black Star Legion is far away in the Shattered Star Ring, the distance is so far away, the threat to us is limited, and the Black Star Legion is also a little more powerful in the Broken Star Ring, and it has no power in other star fields, and the scale is far inferior to ours, only the Black Star himself is not easy to deal with...... Ignore them for the time being, the Red Empire is the focus that needs our attention. The pirate-like beard spoke, and his tone was gruff.
"That's what I thought too." The Blood Gold Leader nodded.
The blood gold organization's business covers the three star fields, and the scale of its influence is larger than that of the Black Star Legion, in their eyes, the Black Star Legion itself has nothing to fear, and only Black Star needs to be feared, in contrast, the stern attitude of the Red Empire is the fundamental reason why the Blood Gold Organization is ready to fight.
"Radiance and the Ethereal Spirit have found us, if we continue to snatch the Evolver Totem, we will be further counterattacked by the Red Empire, and if we stop, the Radiance and the Ethereal Spirit will abandon us." The Blood Gold Leader said slowly.
"I was against meddling in the issue of the evolutionary totem at the beginning, involving the struggle of the three major civilizations, we are just a chess piece, once we get involved in the turmoil, we can't help ourselves, it is better to keep a low profile." A senior executive couldn't help but complain.
"Tsk, Radiance and Ethereal Spirits have come to us, do you think they will give us room to refuse, hug their thighs, at least there is further hope, refuse their olive branch, we will lose everything we have now, interstellar black market administrators? Don't even think about it, we will slowly shrink into a black market mercenary organization, and one day we will be wiped out...... By the time they came to us, we couldn't stay out of it. ”
The Blood Gold Leader's tone was cold.
The interstellar black market is a huge consortium of interests, and each manager is the overlord of a different gray industry, so it needs a lot of backing and protection. Among the black market managers, the most powerful voice is actually the broker industry organization, which uses various means to persuade different civilizations and provide shelter for other managers to match, and the relationship is intertwined.
If the Bloodgold Organization incurs the dissatisfaction of the Radiant and Ethereal Spirits, the follow-up impact is not a matter of one family, and if the business of other black market managers is impacted, they may not unite and kick the Bloodgold Organization out of the high-level seats, and no longer provide shelter and support.
Since they have chosen you, you are a gray organization that is not protected by interstellar law, and you still want to stay neutral without wading into troubled waters......
How can there be such a good thing!
"The cosmic-level civilization is really as domineering as ever, this is the sorrow of the gray forces without the protection of order."
The high-level of the Void Hunter couldn't help but sigh, people in the rivers and lakes couldn't help themselves.
"What then, Radiance and Ethereal Spirits won't watch us all be assassinated." The bearded man said roughly.
Just then, two more telecasts appeared in the room, dressed in glowing and ethereal uniforms.
"I've spoken to the Radiant and Ethereal people about this." The Bloodgold Leader stood up, "Introduction, these two are the Emissaries of Radiance and Ethereal, he ......"
Before he finished speaking, the envoy of the Radiant Federation waved his hand and said:
"There is no need to introduce the name, let's talk about things directly, the Radiant Federation already knows the price you have paid, and we are deeply sympathetic, therefore, we and the Ethereal Sect will provide shelter for the high-level of the Blood Gold Organization, and secretly receive you to go to the Abyss of Stars and the Bright Silver Spiral Arm, in our territory, the Red Empire and the Black Star Legion can't move you, you can remotely control the organization, continue to hoard the Evolver Totem, and at the same time, we will also provide you with certain resources to support."
The ownership of the Scepter of the Gods is a rift between Radiance and Ethereal, but it does not prevent them from pinching their noses and cooperating on the issue of the Evolver's Totem. After all, the evolutionary totem involves the genetic improvement of the entire civilization's billions of people, and the strategic significance is too great, where the interests lie, and there is no eternal enemy...... However, it is certain that both sides do not like each other.
Hearing this, the high-level leaders of the Blood Gold Organization all breathed a sigh of relief, and if they ensure their personal safety, they can rest assured that they can be pawns.
"With all due respect, I have a question."
At this moment, the high-ranking of the Andor Bee Tribes suddenly spoke:
"Snatching the evolutionary totem purchased by other civilizations, this is an extremely inefficient method, if you grab too much, you will likely encounter the Black Star's escort force like last time, and it is impossible for people to let us grab it all the time."
The Radiant Federation envoy smiled and nodded, "You're right, this is not a long-term solution, plundering alone can't meet large-scale needs, do you have any ideas?" ”
"With the spread of the Alien God Legacy, it is no secret that the Evolutionary Totem is made by manufacturing methods, and it is clear that the most fundamental solution is to snatch the Evolution Cube, which is the energy source, from the Black Star!" A cold light flashed in the eyes of this high-ranking member of the Blood Gold Organization.
"You're right...... Unfortunately, this method will not work for the time being. ”
The emissary of the Ethereal Spirit Sect interjected coldly:
"Because of the existence of the Evolver Totem, the strategic significance of the Evolution Cube has greatly increased, according to the Empire's emphasis on totems, if we snatch the Evolution Cube, there will be no room for mitigation like the Battle of Lighthouse Star, once it is successful, it will be an official war...... Until the last moment, our three civilizations will not go to war with each other for the benefit of others.
And...... You think Blackstar is easy to deal with? To put it lightly! If we hadn't known about the existence of the Evolver Totem in advance, why do you think we would have struck first and risked offending the Empire to provoke the Battle of Lighthouse Star? We tried it last time, and now there are still a few super A-class sealed in space-time amber, why don't you go to Blackstar and try it too?! ”
"No, no, no." The senior had nothing to say, coughed dryly, and waved his hand repeatedly.
Just kidding, a big man of Black Star's level, I'm a mediocre natural disaster level, how can I withstand it.
The Radiant Federation emissary nodded: "He's right, at least at this stage, we have no intention of risking the evolution cube, this is the last choice, and now there is another way...... That is to let the empire take the initiative to open the right to sell totems. ”
"This ...... Is it really possible? The Blood Gold Leader couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Hmph, the situation is like this now, Black Star himself doesn't really care about the public sale of the Evolver Totem, but due to the supervision of the Empire, he will not risk offending his allies and sell it privately, and it is impossible to take the initiative to let others catch the handle, so it is not the Black Star Legion that should be targeted, but the Red Empire.
Only if the Red Empire compromises, we will have a chance to obtain the Evolutionary Totem on a large scale.
And to make the Red Empire retreat, there are only a few methods, deterrence by force, exchange of interests, and joint pressure...... You also know very well the style of the empire, deterrence by force is a dream, and the exchange of interests, we will inevitably bleed, without giving the core technology and resources, the empire cannot agree, the gains outweigh the losses.
So the plan we chose was to put pressure on the empire from the aspects of economy, trade, politics, security, etc., and your blood gold organization was just one part of this plan.
The Red Empire has invested a lot of resources and energy in developing the Shining World, and it will become weak on other levels, which is the best time to maximize the effect of pressure while still taking into account the goals of the Empire...... Step by step, let the empire make a choice! ”
A high-ranking person trembled, "Is it really good to tell us this kind of secret......
"Heh, there's nothing to keep secret, this is a conspiracy, when the empire chose not to disclose the evolutionary totem, they knew that there would be this day, and you are now our partners, and it's okay to tell you." The Radiant Federation emissary was unimpressed.
The Blood Gold Leader frowned, "What if the pressure is unsuccessful?" ”
The Radiant Federation emissary glanced at him and smiled coldly.
"If the empire is uncompromising, then we can only consider starting at the source."
……
The Sea of Stars, the headquarters of the Infinite Consortium, the private meeting room of the head of the consortium.
Four figures sat around a table with four cups filled with refreshing pale green drinks, steaming hot and fragrant.
"I heard that the high-level leaders of the Blood Gold Organization were assassinated some time ago, and you Radiant Federation and the Ethereal Spirit Sect let them sell their lives, so you won't ignore it."
Sorokin held the cup in both hands, took a sip, and raised his eyes to look at the other three people on the table, all of whom were super A-level bigwigs who could make the major forces tremble by stomping their feet.
One is the "Mechanical Nation" McNison who went to the meeting with a mechanical body, the other is the doppelganger of the peak super A-level ally of the Ethereal Spirit Sect, the "Void Lord" Csuya, and the other is one of the "Beast Ancestors" Gorutan, one of the behind-the-scenes protectors of the interstellar black market.
And these three people have the same identity...... They are all shareholders of the Infinity Consortium!
"I'm not in charge of those little things." McNison's tone was unwavering.
Gorutan was huge, and he picked up the cup with his hairy fingers, tilted his head and poured the drink inside into his mouth, smacking his lips, "I just received news that the Blood Gold Organization has contacted the messenger of the Radiant Ethereal Spirit and reached a consensus. ”
With such a grand scale of the interstellar black market, there is naturally a super-A-level support scene, and some black market managers themselves are super-A-level forces. The interstellar black market is a coalition of interests of the orderly evil camp, which does not belong to any one person, and there are many super A-level shelters behind it, and Gorutan is one of them, and the nature is the same as that of the shareholders of the Infinite Consortium.
Hearing this, Sorokin narrowed his eyes.
"If I understand correctly, because of the evolutionary totem, the forces behind the three representatives, plan to join forces?"
"So to speak." There was an ethereal and eerie feeling in Ksuye's voice, "We have also come to you for this matter, and you can use us as messengers." ”
Sorokin played with the cup and said lightly, "To be honest, I don't really want to meddle in this matter. ”
"You're not interested in the Evolver Totem?" Gorutan's voice was like thunder.
"No, I don't think there is any force in the universe that is not interested in the Evolver Totem." Sorokin's face was expressionless, "However, according to what I know about the Black Star Legion, the result of rash meddling is that the risks outweigh the benefits, and I don't like to trade at a loss." ”
McNison nodded, "I understand, you not only have business cooperation with the Radiant Ethereal, but also have business dealings with the Empire, you don't want to offend anyone, your Infinite Consortium is different from the gray forces, you are a legitimate business organization protected by the law, and you have the capital to remain neutral." ”
"Yes, that's it." Sorokin spread his hands.
"Haha, don't worry, we won't let you do anything excessive." McNison's mechanical body laughed, but the electronic voice didn't make any laugh.
"Oh? So I don't know how I can help? ”
"We hope that the Infinite Consortium will come forward and invest in the Broken Star Ring, squeeze the market and status of the Black Star Legion with legitimate business competition, and use the financial resources of the Infinite Consortium to squeeze the market and status of the Infinite Consortium, this is just a trivial matter, you don't attack the Evolver Totem, and the Empire can't interfere with your normal business behavior."
Sorokin raised his eyebrows, "Why did I do this?" ”
"This is part of the pressure on the Red Empire, and the opinion of the Black Star Legion affects the Empire's attitude towards the Evolutionary Totem to a certain extent, and with such a big business, it has to be clear to the Black Star that he can't eat it alone...... Of course, in addition to these official reasons, he and I also have a bit of a conflict of interest. McNison said lightly.
Sorokin smiled lightly, "It turns out that Your Excellency the Weapon Kingdom has a conflict with Black Star, and I won't tell you the truth, I and Black Star ...... Hehe, there are also some personal grudges. ”
"So you agreed?"
"Of course, the opinions of the three shareholders need to be taken seriously, but ...... The business of the Black Star Legion is not so easy to grab. ”
Sorokin's face straightened, and he said seriously:
"I've done research on the Black Star Legion, and they're growing rapidly, getting involved in dozens of industries, and their core business is four major areas, namely armed merchandise, resource planet mining brought about by the cooperation of local civilizations, Shining World Development, and Evolver Totem Trafficking...... With all due respect, the latter three are all characteristic businesses that are difficult for outsiders to intervene in, and their core business is difficult to be hit, and our unlimited consortium can only start from somewhere else.
Fortunately, the Black Star Legion has only been established for more than 20 years, and the foundation is not stable, but it still requires a high cost......
So at the end of the day, what's the benefit of me doing this? ”
Hearing this, McNison moved his fingers, and a virtual screen appeared on the table, with a long list in the screen, and said slowly:
"Resource support, political capital, deeper cooperation projects, more open industries...... The details are all on the top, the risk you need to take is at most that the Red Empire will reduce the cooperation projects with you, and now is the interstellar era, it is impossible for the Empire to completely terminate all normal commercial cooperation with you, what you can get is a deeper business connection between the two universe-level civilizations and you......
You believe in the benefits and risks, believe that you can make the right trade-offs, and can give you a month to consider and give us an answer at that time. ”
"It won't take that long, I can tell you the answer right now."
Sorokin laughed.
"Sounds like it's a good business."
