After disarming the remote projection, Han Xiao's vision returned to the room, and before he could move, there was movement on the panel, and an urgent mission from the empire popped up, which was to accept the conscription to participate in the extermination war against the Kunde clan.

The content of the mission is to take the position of the Black Star Legion camp, obey the dispatch of the empire, and carry out various war missions, which are similar in form to the secret war missions in the past, and Han Xiao is no stranger to it.

"According to the reward criteria for secret war missions, if you complete this kind of war mission with a high evaluation, you should have a high chance of getting rewards such as legend and political assets, as well as generating new quests...... Oh yes, and the contribution can also grow by a big wave. ”

Han Xiao touched his chin, he was not very sure, after all, in the secret war, Amethyst and Krent were indistinguishable, and this time the Kunde clan was just a slightly dangerous enemy for the empire, there was no suspense in solving them, maybe the reward would not be more than the secret war.

However, he didn't force it, his goal this time was mainly to try to activate various missions from Nilo.

Although he didn't plan to do it himself, Han Xiao wasn't prepared to paddle thoroughly, he didn't mind providing virtual technical support when the empire needed it, and he was familiar with the advantages of the map, and Han Xiao didn't plan to hide it.

The map he said is not the layout of the star map, the astronomical observation equipment of the cosmic-level civilization is not bad, long before the first phase of exploration, the Red Empire has already drawn a star map of the shining world, and what needs to be explored is the details of all aspects, such as the actual situation of each planet needs to be determined by field exploration.

And what Han Xiao is familiar with is the territory of the Kunde civilization, which will naturally not be marked on the unexplored star map, that is to say, with its own intelligence support, the empire does not need to slowly explore the way, but can go straight to the Yellow Dragon and insert it into the hinterland of the Kunde tribe.

Of course, the premise is that the empire believes in its own intelligence, and in terms of war, even if it has a high super-A-level status, it cannot interfere with the empire's military operation orders, and for unconfirmed intelligence, whether it is the empire or other advanced civilizations, it will basically take a wait-and-see attitude.

Han Xiao didn't have much to worry about, he already had the title of a god stick, and he still had Aesop, a bad old man who was famous for the major forces, and the empire would also use a large number of prophecy powers, so it was no problem for him to release information.

However, in order to prevent some people with ulterior motives in the empire from framing himself for secretly communicating with the Kunde clan, Han Xiao could not give the empire too detailed information, although with his current status, he could already do whatever he wanted, but he usually paid attention to it, and he could always avoid unnecessary trouble.

"This is the second time I've participated in a cluster-level war, but this time it's not the same as a secret war......

Han Xiao exhaled.

Secret wars are proxy wars, and although they are quite large, there are no concerns about the survival of the race. And this time, you will face a cluster-level civilization that has exhausted all its combat power to defend its homeland, and the opponent will do whatever it takes.

Even if the Kunde were a lame indigenous star cluster with a technological tree, the intensity and scale of this war were still not comparable to any war they had participated in before.

For the Kunde clan, Han Xiao has no special hostility, but he also has no good feelings, if he is the Kunde clan, he is not happy that the ownerless resources that he has at his fingertips are occupied by a strange civilization that suddenly appeared, and when the Red Empire finishes exploring the Guangchen Star Cluster, it is equivalent to blocking the Kunde clan in this star cluster, and the upper limit in the future will be a star cluster-level civilization at most.

However, he is now standing in the position of the empire, he is a vested interest, the empire's exploration of the new star domain was originally to obtain new resources, and under the premise of having an overwhelming military advantage, it is impossible to stop, it can only be said that the two sides are essentially irreconcilable conflicts of interests.

Since everyone is right, it is only the loser who is wrong.

Han Xiao wrote a message, put the information of the Kunde tribe in it, and sent it to Tarrokov, and then, without waiting for a reply, wrote another war mobilization order, informing the entire legion.

……

"Call us back to the war?"

In the Black Star Legion exploration ship, the team members in the cabin took out the communicator and glanced at it at the same time, with different expressions, some excited, some dignified, some eager to try, and some depressed.

Nilo was a member of this exploration team at this time, and when he saw the internal mobilization order of the legion, he immediately became nervous.

The war came too suddenly, he was not ready in his heart, all this time, he had only participated in various exchanges, never participated in a real war, it was impossible not to be nervous.

All sorts of chaotic thoughts came to mind, and Nilo couldn't help but think about them.

Can I handle the enemy?

What does it feel like to kill an enemy?

Will I be killed by the enemy?

Is Mia also going to war, and will she be in danger?

As he was thinking wildly, his shoulders suddenly sank, and Nilo looked up to see that it was the leader of the team, a sturdy former freelance mercenary.

"Don't worry, boy, we'll take care of you." The captain smiled heartily.

"Take it easy." The deputy captain who was reciting the spell model next to him also raised his eyes and said casually: "I have participated in secret wars, and the battlefield is actually the same thing, either you kill me or I kill you, especially this kind of interstellar war, death is just a momentary thing, there is no pain, so there is nothing to be nervous about." ”

Hearing this, Nilo scratched his head and smiled shyly and reluctantly.

He was assigned to this team as a maintenance master, and he was doing well, the two captains took good care of him, and the other team members also treated him well.

In this kind of grassroots combat group, the background is secondary, it mainly depends on the ability of the individual, Nilo himself is not weak, and the mechanical level is very outstanding and trustworthy, so the other team members are willing to take care of him, Nilo also likes this group of bold fighters.

Although he was nervous about the fact of participating in the war, Nilo had no intention of contacting Han Xiao and didn't want to ask for special treatment, if he did, his godfather might agree to let him not go to the battlefield, but he would definitely not look down on him, Nilo had studied for so long and didn't want to disappoint his godfather.

Nilo stepped aside, took out the communicator, hesitated, and dialed Mia's number.

There were a few sounds, and the other side was connected, but they didn't speak, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

After waiting silently for a few seconds, Nilo couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, scratching his cheek, "This...... Did you read the internal notice, I'm going to war. ”

"Oh."

"Uh...... Aren't you worried about me? ”

"There's nothing to worry about, I've been drafted too." Mia snorted.

Nilo chuckled in his heart and hesitated, "That...... Are you nervous? ”

"What's there to be nervous about?" Mia said in a strange tone, "When you became a superpower, didn't you already know that there would be this day?" I'm looking forward to it. ”

Nilo opened his mouth and had nothing to say, so he had to whisper: "Then you pay attention to safety, we are not in a squad, I can't protect you......"

"Who wants you to protect it?" Mia rolled her eyes, "You'd better take care of yourself, don't die." ”

After saying that, the communication was hung up by the other side.

Nilo put down the communicator and touched his nose helplessly.

He still misses Mia, who was soft and shy when they first met, since she awakened the martial arts department, Mia's violent tendencies have become more and more serious, and I don't know if it has released her self-character that has been suppressed for many years.

……

There are no impermeable walls in the world, and the Red Empire has not hidden them.

It didn't take long for the news of the Shining World to reach the explored universe, and all the major star fields knew that the Red Empire was mobilizing for war.

Most of the interstellar citizens have no special opinions, and it is not unusual to deal with the natives, and they wish that the empire would clear the resisting opponents as soon as possible, complete the exploration as soon as possible, and let them go to the shining world to have fun.

There is also a group of anti-war factions who pity the indigenous civilization and call for peace instead of war, but no one pays attention to them, and these statements cannot affect the practice of high civilization.

Most of the forces didn't care, but the major supercluster-level civilizations were happy about it.

They wish that the Kunde clan would cause huge trouble to the empire, with the primordial ghost energy, the Kunde clan has the ability to kill the empire, the more imperial troops die, the better, if they can, it is best to make the empire's super A-level loss, no matter who wins or loses, anyway, they will not lose.

……

Exploration of the Bright Dust Cluster has been suspended, and the Empire and its allies are gathering fleets around the Lighthouse.

In addition to the exploration army itself, the Red Empire also sent elites from the Central Star Sea to the Shining World to participate in the war.

On the one hand, it is not to despise the enemy, and on the other hand, it is for military training, in the universe that has been explored, it is not often encountered in this level of warfare, just as a big military training, to train the elite that the legion wants to cultivate.

This time, because Han Xiao did not personally intervene, it was Melos who threw down his friends and rushed from the Shattered Star Ring to command the Black Star Legion fleet.

"This time the army is divided into multiple legions, I am the commander-in-chief of all legions, responsible for formulating strategies, and each legion has an exclusive commander, commanding different allied forces, and the imperial commander in charge of your Black Star fleet has also been decided."

In the commander's office of the Lighthouse Star, Tarrokov opened a resume and showed it to Melos in front of him.

At a glance, Melos felt familiar.

"Tyny Amenlos?"

"Yes, that's him."

"His rank doesn't seem to be high, can he do it......" Melos wondered.

"Hehe, don't worry, he is an officer that the empire is currently focusing on cultivating, and he has a very outstanding command and command ability." Tarrokov smiled slightly, "He arrived at the Beacon Star not long ago, you can meet him." ”

As he spoke, Tarrokov knocked on the table, and the door was immediately pushed open, and an imposing officer walked in, followed by an adjutant who did not leave an inch.

"See you again, friends of the Blackstar Legion." The imposing officer nodded.

"Oh! It turned out to be you. The moment he saw this man, Melosden recalled.

This person is none other than the elite of the empire who has undergone the transformation of the evolution cube, the future marshal of the empire, and the tenny Amenlos who had a brief intersection with Han Xiao a few years ago, and the adjutant next to him is his henchman Kebers.

Melos stood up, shook hands, and sat back down.

"I haven't seen Black Star in almost ten years, and I'm happy to hear that his status is getting higher." Tyney said.

Melos nodded, and then said curiously: "You have been promoted in the past few years, I remember that when you came, you only had the rank of colonel." ”

"If you make some contributions, that achievement is nothing compared to Black Star." Tenny shook his head, "This time I took the initiative to ask to be the Imperial Commander of the Black Star Fleet, and try to help you reduce casualties as much as possible. ”

"Thank you so much." Melos was a little surprised, as an ally, what he was most afraid of was encountering an unreliable imperial commander.

"Don't thank me, you can take this as a reward." Tyny waved his hand, "When Blackstar gave me a set of super A-class mechanical floating defense arrays that he built himself, he helped me survive several dangers, so I should thank him." ”

"I see."

Melos suddenly realized that there was no love for no reason, it turned out that his own boss was kind to others.

He couldn't help but be amazed by the profundity of Han Xiao's PY.

"After this battle, I will stop by to visit Black Star in the Gaolu Star Cluster, hoping that he is free." Tyny's jaw.

"Don't worry, the affairs of the legion are basically in charge of our cadres, and he is very idle all day long." Melos casually sold Han Xiao.

The two chatted for a while, until Tarrokov deliberately coughed, and the two left the commander's office together. As partners who are about to fight side by side, both of them want to exchange feelings with each other.

There were people coming and going in the base, and halfway through, Tenny met an acquaintance, who was also a high-ranking imperial ** official recruited from other places, greeted each other, and stopped to chat.

Melos didn't care much about it, but he suddenly found that the tall and thin adjutant beside the emperor had been staring at him firmly, and his eyes were meaningful.

"Look at me...... Ahem, what do you see me doing? Melos couldn't help but ask.

The lieutenant smiled, pointed to Melos' Legion uniform, and asked rhetorically, "Are you from the Blackstar Legion?" ”

"I'm Melos, the commander of the fleet of the Black Star Legion, I don't know what you call it?" Melos nodded.

"Hehe, call me Gaode."

"Where have we met? Why do you keep staring at me? Melos wondered.

Gao De smiled slightly, "No, I've just always admired Black Star, and the first time I saw the cadres of the Black Star Legion, I was a little curious." ”

With that, he turned his head away, and had no intention of continuing to speak.

Seeing this, Melos didn't say anything, looked at this person, and was secretly surprised...... This guy named Gao De obviously has no momentum, but for some reason, standing next to this person, Melos always has an inexplicable pressure in his heart.

At this time, Tyny also finished chatting with an acquaintance, and the other party walked away with his adjutant Gao De.

Melos watched the two disappear around the corner, and couldn't help asking:

"Do you know the adjutant?"

Tyny shook his head, but had been talking to his lieutenant, Kerberth, who had been beside him.

"You mean Gaude? I know him, what's wrong? ”

"I just talked to him, and I was a little curious."

Kebers nodded and introduced: "This Gao De is not a graduate of the Emperor's ** Academy, he has not been in the army for a long time, but he is a superpower with extraordinary potential, he was favored by the officer just now, and he became an adjutant, and his abilities are very outstanding, and I heard that he is also on the list of key training in the military." ”

"This resume sounds pretty ordinary......"

Melos felt strange and didn't know where the oppression came from, but he was sure it wasn't an illusion.

But there was nothing to dwell on such trivial matters that had nothing to do with her, and Melos continued to talk to Tyny, quickly leaving Gauder behind.

……

The empire was quite efficient, and it did not take many days from the attack to the completion of the assembly of the army, and under Tarrokov's instructions, the army officially marched towards the depths of the Bright Dust Cluster.

Originally, the empire did not know the territorial location of the Kunde people, and the original plan was to explore the path first, but not long ago, the Black Star submitted a piece of information marking the approximate location of the Kunde people in the Guangchen Star Cluster, although there were no detailed coordinates, but it also saved the empire a lot of energy to explore the way.

While the accuracy of the intelligence was still to be determined, the Empire was able to conduct more targeted reconnaissance efforts, and countless scout units were released to advance towards the Kunde territory marked by the Black Star, while the various formations began to move in different directions.

With an entire star cluster as a battlefield, mobility is the key, and the stargate is the blood vessel that connects the army.

Because of the Primordial Spectral Trap event, the Empire also tacitly assumed that the opponent had Stargate technology, so each legion focused on protecting its Stargate Passage from enemy surprise attacks.

However, the army has been advancing for half a month, and not even a single encounter has occurred, and the enemy seems to have disappeared.

It was only after a few days that the situation was broken, and the first exchange of fire between the Empire and the Kunde forces finally took place.

And the location of the firefight is the calamitous lighthouse star!
