The old galaxy, the Modo civilization, the Three Kings.

“…… The recent repeated assassination of officials has had an extremely bad impact on society, and the identity of the murderer is unknown, but judging from many clues, there is a shadow of the Red Empire behind these incidents, and it is obvious that Madi has failed, and his methods have not been able to hide the Empire. ”

In the Cabinet of Internal Affairs, an important meeting is underway, and many ministers have gathered to discuss recent events, and everyone's expressions are ugly.

The serial assassination of officials has affected social stability, made countless citizens of Modo panic, and the entire ruling class is also disgraced.

When their own safety was threatened, these high-ranking ministers were all furious.

"It's so arrogant! Does the Empire really think of us as low-level civilizations that are powerless to resist?! If we unite with other super star cluster-level civilizations in the old galaxy to become independent, and let this star field escape from the rule of the three major civilizations, see how it ends! A grumpy military minister slammed the table with a furious face.

"It's better to say less of this kind of angry talk." Someone next to me reminded.

The other people present did not take this seriously, although all the superstar cluster-level civilizations have long held grudges against the three major civilizations and do not want to replace them all the time, but there is no way back for independence, unless they are sure, no one will support it.

After venting, everyone returned to the topic and discussed how to deal with it.

"No matter what, first of all, we have to prevent more assassinations from happening, but we can't negotiate with the empire and give in, there is nothing to say to them, they must want to confirm our crime of using the natives, let us compensate for the losses of the war between the empire and the natives, dream!"

"Yes, to claim that the incident has nothing to do with us, if the empire comes up with evidence, then it is a forgery."

"Also, if we want to determine that the Empire has no basis to assassinate our officials, and apply to the Council of Civilization to sanction this kind of subordinate means, the Radiance and the Ethereal Spirit should be on our side, and we can also win over more super-star cluster civilizations, the universe is not a word of his empire."

Someone shook his head and was not optimistic about this plan, "The opening of the Shining World is about to open to the outside world, and it is estimated that few people want to tear their faces with the empire in the open." ”

"Then what to do, we can't let the Empire murder our cadres."

"Hmph, just a tooth for a tooth, he assassinated our officers, and we assassinated their officers, as if there were no superpowers."

Someone couldn't help but object, saying, "The people who assassinated the empire? Have you forgotten the events of the Death of the Peak? ”

Hearing this, anger swelled on most of the people's faces.

In this humiliating history thousands of years ago, they have not forgotten that the super-A-level of the three major civilizations hurt each other, because of the heavy damage, and they were worried about losing the strategic advantage of their personal might, so they made up a trumped-up charge and slaughtered all the super-A-level allies of the super-star cluster civilization, including the Modo civilization, and then walked away.

This move not only greatly damaged the vitality of the super-star cluster-level civilization at that time in terms of personal might, but also left a long-term negative impact, so that many super-A-level people were worried about their personal safety and did not dare to accept the super-star cluster level to win over.

Therefore, the Modo civilization knows that people can assassinate their people as revenge and warning, and once they assassinate each other, it will be a provocation to the ruling power of the three major civilizations, which will cause a bloody storm, and the light and the ethereal spirit will no longer watch the show, and will join the empire together to deal with Modo. When it comes to maintaining the authority of the rulers, the three major civilizations urinate in one pot.

They have already experienced this kind of hooliganism, swallowed their anger again and again, and have long accumulated deep grievances.

"Don't go far, the assassination incident is actually just a trivial matter, the empire is measured, they don't dare to push us into a hurry...... But we can't fight back, and we have to pay attention to the strength of the counterattack. The empire itself cannot move, so it can only take a step back and get the power of their allies...... Hmm, but it's limited to power, don't slaughter the super A-level. ”

"I think Beoni is a good fit, his power is rooted in the old galaxy, and it is easy to deal with him, which also shows our attitude."

A few words from everyone decided Beoni's bad luck for a period of time in the future.

For the super star cluster-level civilization, unless it is a guy like the Weapon Nation McNison, the Void Lord Csuye, and the Black Star Han Xiao, the general super A level is really nothing in their eyes, and even the star cluster level can kill the super A level, let alone the super star cluster level civilization.

The Empire has let our officials assassinate, and this revenge will surely be avenged.

As for the conspiracy we played in the beginning, causing the empire to suffer losses in the war, and the loss was the first ......

So what, isn't that what we're trying to do?

Everyone is a hooligan, and no one can say anything.

At this time, some people worried:

"These are small things, and my concern is that the Empire will restrict our access to the Shining World in the future because of this matter."

"What are you afraid of, the Shining World will open up to the outside world sooner or later, even the empire can't stop this general trend, if they specifically forbid us to enter, then we will make trouble! Not only us, but other super star cluster-level civilizations will definitely stand on our side to see if his empire can withstand the pressure! ”

The Modo civilization is not worried about offending the Empire and losing the opportunity to enter the shining world.

All superstar cluster-level civilizations knew in their hearts that even if the Shining World was opened, the three major civilizations would definitely suppress their development, so they had already privately formed a strategic alliance and decided to join forces to break the situation.

Shining the world is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and supercluster-level civilizations are willing to unite for this.

Even if only the Modo family is suppressed in the Shining World, other super-star cluster-level civilizations will also come forward to support them, although everyone doesn't like to help competitors, but in comparison, it is more important to join forces to break the blockade of the three major civilizations.

Besides, the empire is now lacking in skills, and can only use the painless means of assassination to warn it, and the Modo civilization has discovered this, and it is really not very false, secretly rubbing its hands, just waiting for the opening of the shining world to do a big job.

The super cluster-level civilization has the confidence to fight with the three major civilizations, after all, they are different from the cluster level, there is no room for the three major civilizations, and there is no way to overtake in a corner without making trouble.

You can only fight and grab.

……

At the headquarters of the Infinite Consortium, the Weapon Nation McNison, the Void Lord Cthulya, and the Beast Ancestor Gorutan visit Sorokin again.

"I wonder what the three of you are looking for me today?"

In the bright and clean office of the head of the consortium, the four of them sat in a circle, and Sorokin glanced at the three of them, smiling lightly.

"You remember our deal, right?" Gorutan urn sounded the urn airway.

"Of course, I'm in charge of commercial competition with the Black Star Legion, squeezing their business space, and exerting external pressure to help you plot the Evolver Totem." Sorokin said unhurriedly.

Cthulye spoke, his voice ethereal, "However, it seems that your achievements over the years have not been very good. ”

The Black Star Legion withstood the pressure of the Infinite Consortium and did not achieve the expected results, which made the forces behind the three not very satisfied, and the three of McNison came to hold them accountable on behalf of the forces behind them today.

"Huh." Sorokin didn't care, and said slowly, "I said that the Black Star Legion is not so easy to deal with. ”

"We want you to step up."

"No problem." Sorokin smiled lightly, "Well, I've shown sincerity, and now it's your turn." ”

If you want the horse to run, let the horse eat grass first, and the three of them understand that Sorokin is asking the forces behind them to fulfill part of the original cooperation commitment, otherwise don't come to give opinions.

McNison said slowly: "There is no big problem, those resource support, preferential policies, and in-depth cooperation projects will be implemented soon." ”

"Then I'll wait." Sorokin smiled, "That's right, my next plan also needs to wait for the right time. ”

"What's the plan?" Gorutan asked.

Sorokin cleared his throat and said slowly:

"After several years of competition, the Blackstar Legion and I have been at a stalemate, and it is difficult to open a new breakthrough in the Shattered Star Ring. So I set my sights on the Shining World, which is the new focus of the Black Star Legion. ”

"I have inside information, the empire will be open to the public in the fourth phase of exploration, and it will be a carnival of the whole universe at that time, and countless forces will pour in, and a new pattern will be formed, especially in the business area, countless consortia are waiting to seize the market, this is also my opportunity."

He has long been eyeing the development of the Shining World, waiting for the Infinite Consortium to enter and seize the market, and then he can use economic means to exert pressure on the territory of the Black Star Legion.

The Legion has received the benefits of the territory, and has to assume the responsibility and risk of management, and Sorokin wants to open up a new battlefield in another base camp of the Legion.

The output, demand, and circulation of resources in the territory are huge markets, and the Infinite Consortium has a way to use wealth to seize market share and squeeze out the living space of other normal enterprises in the Black Star Territory.

At that time, whether it is remote control of some interstellar enterprises, thereby affecting the efficiency of resource circulation, or using trade means to add obstacles to the economic construction of the Black Star Territory, or building smuggling and intelligence channels in the Black Star Territory around the markets of different industries, all of them can bring more pressure to the Black Star Legion, which is exactly the means that the Infinite Consortium is familiar with.

Of course, Sorokin's main goal is to allow the Infinite Consortium to expand and develop.

Compared to the benefits of the Shining World, the cost of suppressing the Black Star Legion was not worth mentioning in his eyes.

……

The small friction between the Red Empire and the Modo civilization, under the restraint of both sides, did not turn into a more serious conflict, and did not have much impact on the overall environment for the peaceful development of the whole universe.

The main theme of the era of exploration and expansion affects all aspects, and most of the civilizations and civil forces have been keeping to themselves, keeping an eye on the development progress of the shining world, and silently preparing for the opening of the shining world one day in the future.

Affected by the environment, the pattern of the sea of stars maintains a calm state, and occasional small fights are harmless.

In this environment, the second phase of the Empire's exploration was successfully completed, and the third phase of exploration was launched immediately, and the Empire used this as a bargaining chip to sign more allies and vassals, so that the troops of the third phase of exploration could grow again.

In times of peace, the pace of time seems to become more silent, as if when you turn back, you realize that year after year has passed.

Without too many twists and turns, the empire completed its goal on schedule, and the third phase of exploration came to an end smoothly.

On July 15, 729 in the Star Sea Calendar, the Crimson Empire finally issued a long-awaited decree for the entire universe:

——The fourth phase of exploration will shine in the world and officially open to the public!

It's like detonating a ghost bomb

The universe, which has been calm for more than ten years, boiled in an instant!
