"Good evening, friends in front of the TV! This is Heroes Federal National Television, I'm everyone's favorite female anchor Jana, welcome to the UHL studio! ”

"Today is a good day for the City of Hope, the capital city of our Hero Federation on the planet Haven, to complete and issue the administrative declaration of the founding of the state in the district of Kplustar! At the same time, today is also the first day of broadcasting in our UHL studio! Now, watch the impromptu speech of Her Excellency Anne Hasta, the Supreme Head of our Federation of Heroes! ”

Today, within the confines of the Kpru, whether it is the territory of the Tyranid Empire, or the sphere of influence of the Star Spirits, or even the camps where the various refugees from the Zerg are wreaking havoc in the Star Zone, an unfamiliar TV broadcast signal has been received, and the other party has forcibly squeezed the channels of other TV stations: a UHL studio that is said to be the Hero Federation National Television?

Obviously, this so-called heroic federal television station must have used some illegal means to forcibly cover all the television signals.

Then, the audience found out that what appeared on the TV screen was a plump blonde beautiful host with gold wire glasses, and the other party suddenly appeared on all the TV channels without warning.

The Hero Federation she talked about, except for a few humans and star spirits who had heard of it, the rest of the people had no clue about it!

They have no idea which human force the Hero Federation is? What kind of third-rate TV station is UHL Studio?

A force that has never heard of it, an anchor and a TV station that has never been seen before, even dares to squeeze the channel of a legitimate TV station and issue a declaration of statehood at the same time? I'm afraid I'm not crazy, right?

"Huh? Already recorded? Well, why didn't you just remind me earlier?! ”

After the beautiful female anchor switched the interface, there was a cute little girl on the TV who was full of grease stains and grabbed an animal roasted hind leg in one hand.

Then, when she found that the camera was already aimed at her and had already turned on the recording, she quickly hid the barbecue behind her at once, and at the same time wiped her oily little mouth casually with her other free hand.

"That...... Hello everyone? I am the head of the Federation of Heroes, and you can call me Anne! ”

"Then, starting today, our Federation of Heroes is officially established! Here, the planet of Haiwenxing, from now on, is the administrative planet of the capital of our Hero Federation! The surrounding area and several nearby planets are all in our sphere of influence, so if you're okay, don't make trouble! Otherwise, I'm going to beat you all over the head! ”

The little girl on the TV raised her little fist and threatened.

Then, when she found that the fist she had raised was still holding the hind leg of the animal that had been roasted by the Haven Star, she quickly retracted it and replaced it with another small free hand, which threatened fiercely with the same greasy little fist.

"Our planet is good! They asked me to tell you that if anyone wants to settle here, we'd love to do so! Then, I can take you to hunting and barbecue! The wildlife on this planet is very tasty, like the big six-legged creature I have in my hand now, and it took a lot of effort to catch it......"

Honk......

Soon, the little girl's more and more biased speech was cut off in time, and it switched to the interface of the beautiful host.

"Haha...... You've all seen it already, right? Above...... It's the manifesto of our federation......"

"Our Führer is still so funny! However, there is no doubt about her ability, and under the leadership of our great Führer Anne, our people have emerged from the swarm and come to Havenstar, and they have begun to live a happy life of peace and contentment, and their lives are getting better and better day by day! ”

While hurriedly explaining to the live camera, Jana was also secretly dissatisfied with the staff responsible for recording the Führer's speech.

They had been preparing for a month, but now, they have recorded such a messy video? Can't you just be a little more serious with such a solemn and formal speech?

"Welcome to our Haven Star Settlement! We welcome any free immigrants or unemployed people to settle on our planet and become legal citizens of our country! There is only one premise: as long as you are willing to obey our laws! ”

"We have very good benefits and very low taxes!"

"Anyone who comes to settle here in Haiwenxing as a family unit, our Federation will send hard-working SCV engineers to build a three-story villa with a courtyard and a garage for you, and provide you with a suitable job and a suspension vehicle with excellent performance, all for free!"

"How? Are you intrigued? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and immigrate to our Haven Star! Here you will find that the beautiful Haven Star is about to become a paradise for human settlement......"

"Please remember our TV channel: FM 666.233! We will broadcast a variety of interesting TV shows and news for you every day......"

Countless humans or star spirits in front of the TV looked at the female anchor on the TV who was bragging vigorously.

Those of them who are still confused don't even know what the Hero Federation is, and they haven't even heard of it!

In this case, most people even think that this is just a joke made by some bad tasters! At the same time, they also wondered: What is the point of the other party illegally occupying the communication channel of a regular TV station? !

Therefore, not long after watching this newly emerged TV station, more Celestial Humans and Star Spirits switched channels one after another, and did not pay much attention to it......

————

At the same time, on top of the Hyperion......

After Jim Reynolds' Ranger forces successfully raided the Imperial Excavation Site in Tasanis about three weeks ago, intercepting several trains and seizing supplies, they were hunted down by several Imperial fleets.

It wasn't until they slipped around the Kpopru Sector several times and jumped several times that it took them nearly a month, and only now did they barely get rid of the Empire's pursuers.

"Hah! That's a lot of fun...... It seems that Mengsk bastard may not have to pay attention to us for a while? ”

On the bridge of the Hyperion, Renault and Captain Matt, as well as Tykes, were watching a replay of the TV show that had just been received.

That was a few days ago, and now, when they were free and watching, Renault was immediately happy.

In his mind, this Federation of Heroes actually publicly issued such a declaration of independence in the Kepru Star District, which may have seriously provoked the bottom line of the Tyranid Empire, right?

As the only unified human nation in the Kprustar region, they probably won't sit idly by and watch the development and growth of Havenstar, right? Not to mention that the other party is still using the signal of the TV station to issue declarations and openly poach people to engage in activities such as immigration!

Renault could already foreshadow what his old rival Mengsk was going to do next: nothing more than to come forward to refute the rumors, block the news, block the signal of the other party's TV station, and then, block the other side both economically and militarily?

As for sending troops to attack Hai Wenxing, Renault felt that it was unlikely.

After all, that Haiwenxing is just a remote planet where birds don't, not the territory of his Mengsk Empire, and the other party's location is next to the territory of the Star Spirit, which is too sensitive.

As long as the Hero Federation of Haven Star doesn't die and runs to the territory of the Tyranid Empire in his Monsk to make trouble or poach people to forcibly occupy the planet, presumably, he won't be too embarrassed, right?

"By the way, Matt, the old robot lieutenant from the Autonomous Alliance period, how is it cracked now? Still won't say anything? ”

After watching the TV show, Renault remembered that damn tattered robot lieutenant.

The other day, they made the same big deal: raided the abandoned planet of Tasanis and intercepted many military trains of the Tyranid Empire, and after they finally intercepted one of the most heavily defended trains, they got a special gadget that seemed worthless - it was actually an old robot lieutenant from the era of the Autonomous Alliance?!

It was precisely because of this that they were chased by the Imperial warships for a long time......

Renault felt at the time that the empire had gone to such great lengths to pursue him, coupled with the tight defense, and even the carriages were equipped with anti-scanning devices, there must be some special secret hidden on it?

So, Renault decided to find out for himself!

At that time, after they retrieved the old lieutenant, they put it in the laboratory to recharge, and when Renault went in to interrogate him, he was refused to answer?

Because, in its database, Renault's identity is still a criminal! And criminals have no human rights! Therefore, the artificial head of that garbage robot refused to say anything of value to Renault until it was cracked! And if you replace someone else, you will also be refused to answer by the other party because of the question of permission.

So, this matter, pursued by the imperial warships in Mengsk, has been dragged by them until now.

"I'm sorry, sir, but we can't do anything with our current deciphering capabilities! Unless, we're willing to risk tearing it down completely, ......"

Matt shrugged his shoulders, looked at Renault and replied helplessly.

They have everyone on the Hyperion, but they don't have any experts in cracking electronic devices! Therefore, there is really no way to do it at all for the former machine adjutant of the Autonomous Alliance who does not eat hard and soft and can only follow the ability of logical calculations!

"Hey! Guys...... I thought, we can actually try our luck in the Harbor of the Dead? Where, as long as you have money, you can find someone to help you with anything! ”

Seeing that Renault and Matt were helpless, Tykes thought about it and said what he knew.

"That's right! That's right! Tykas, you remind me! ”

Matt seemed to suddenly remember something, he thought of the old mercenary who seemed to specialize in electronics in Dead Man's Harbor.

"I know of a Colonel Orlan who is an expert at cracking federal codes! We should be able to find him in the Harbor of the Dead, known as the Mercenary Paradise, and while he can't be trusted, it's the best option right now. ”

Aside from these mercenaries who can sell everything for money, Matt really can't think of anyone who will help them, the empire's most wanted criminals?

And, to the Harbor of the Dead, you can also take advantage of the stolen goods that have been piled up in the warehouse and stolen from the Tasanis excavation site?

"Alright, alright, then, let's get started! Matt, you can order to go now! We've managed to get rid of those annoying Imperial lackeys! ”

Since there is a way to crack the broken robot hanging in the laboratory to charge, Renault doesn't want to waste any more time here, so it's better to solve this matter sooner.

He wanted to take a good look at what important information was in the robot's mind that deserved Mengsk's fanfare to blockade the planet and dig up the ruins to find it? And also because of this, the intensity of the hunt for yourself has been greatly enhanced?

You know, in the past few days, they have been chased by the other party's warships enough, if they didn't have enough energy reserves, maybe they would have been caught by the other party a long time ago, right?

Tut! Thankfully, they made a small fortune on Haven Star a month ago! Now they lack everything, but they don't lack energy!

"Yes, sir!"

“……”

Matt received the order and turned and walked over to his captain's position, ready to give the order about the jump. On the other hand, Tykes on the side clutched the metal chair with a little pale face, and he was trapped in this special armored power combat suit, and he couldn't adapt to the teleportation method of folding jump.

"Excellent! Then you get ready first, and then you can start jumping straight away, and now, let me go back and have a drink or two. ”

After Renault looked at Tykes, who was looking bad in the bridge, he smiled and turned to leave.

He's decided, and now that he's managed to get rid of the doglegs in Mengsk, should it be worth going to the bar for a few drinks to celebrate? The ban on alcohol for a while can be regarded as really making him hungry!

“……”

"Huh? Who is this? It was Matt who transferred it from the bridge?! ”

Renault, who was wandering towards the bar in the corridor of the battleship, suddenly found that the communicator in his hand was lit up at this time.

After thinking about it, Renault pressed the receiving button in a little puzzlement.

"Is that you? Trust...... You are still coming to me at this time, is there anything important? I remember very well, our deal is done, right? I don't owe you anything! ”

Renault frowned unnaturally at the sight of the hologram of the cold-blooded killer shining from the communicator on his arm.

He doesn't like to deal with such unscrupulous people all day long, and the few times he cooperated with the other party before was just a last resort...... Renault thinks that this entrustment, the other party does things too without a bottom line, which is not in line with his style of Sheriff Lei!

You know, he, Renaud, is now a freedom fighter, fighting for freedom and rebellion against the tyranny of Mengsk, not a cruel and vicious star thief as rumored by the outside world?

Although they did some pirate behavior occasionally, robbing the Imperial military's supplies and transport ships, it was also a last resort! There is a fundamental difference between it and the kind of villains who are purely for robbery, sabotage and murder.

"Hey, buddy! Don't be so nervous, weren't we happy to work together before? ”

Seeing the displeased expression on Renault's face, Toh smiled indifferently.

"Tell me, you actually came to me at this time, what the hell is going on?!"

Renault, who was unwilling to make a false mistake with the other party, asked directly to the point.

With this kind of person who doesn't speculate, Renault can't have too much friendship with the other party, and the previous cooperation is just a mutual use, presumably, the other party must think so, right?

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point?"

After discovering the impatience on Renault's face, he didn't want to waste time anymore because he asked for help, so he cut straight to the point.

"Here's it: I just received a secret report from which I found a big deal! Are you interested in joining forces with me again? I promise, we're going to make a fortune this time!! ”

Toxu in the communication interface mysteriously leaned in front of the camera and whispered.

"Huh! What's the big deal? Why don't you talk about it first?! ”

After a snort, Renault asked noncommittally.

Now, they have just robbed the Imperial Military Train, and they are making a small fortune, and they are not short of money, and those excavations, they have not found a chance to get rid of them until now......

So, they're planning to go to the Dead Man's Harbor, on the one hand, while selling the stolen goods, they also want to find someone to help decipher the stubborn old robot lieutenant during the Autonomous Alliance, and see what the hell is worth it for old Mengsk to be so nervous?

Therefore, Renault and the others really don't have time to accompany this ghost villain to do some big deals! But if you just listen to it, that's fine.

"I swear, it's going to be a big deal: the news TV not long ago, the UHL broadcast of the Hero Federation, you must have seen it, right?"

After seeing that the other party did not refuse or agree, Toxu felt that there might be a door to this matter?

In fact, if he could do this deal alone, he would not have found Renault's cooperation! If he can eat alone, how can he find someone else to share?

It's a pity that the target's power seems to be a little stronger this time, and it may be a little bit of a tie?

Therefore, after thinking about it again, he reluctantly found Renault again, in Toh's opinion, Renault, the most wanted criminal in the empire, is relatively reliable, credibility, how can he eat black? That's why he plans to partner again and do this vote together!

"Hero Federation, ......"

Unexpectedly, it was Renault who did this, and he was a little surprised in his heart.

This trust, how dare you ask yourself this matter? Didn't the other party know that their Hyperion was in Haven a month ago, right? Does he really not know that he has a little friendship with the Federation of Heroes?

So, you might as well listen to it, what the hell is this bastard doing?!

"You're talking about that news...... We just watched the replay, but so what? Does this have anything to do with me? ”

Renault pretended not to care, and asked the other party with a hint of confusion in his heart.

"It's good to have seen it!"

Since the other party knows about this, it saves him from asking for more words.

"Because, I just received a piece of information! An Aglian secretly sold me a message: the Federation of Heroes, they have a large amount of high-energy crystals and high-energy gas on Haven Star! That's more than you can imagine! Brother, I think you know that thing, that crystal, they're money! A lot of money! Countless amounts of money! ”

In a trembling tone, Tosh whispered to Renault while gesturing exaggeratedly with both hands.

This piece of information was contacted and sold by a greedy Aglian today, and there is a picture and a truth! That Federation of Heroes, on the ground of Haven Star, has built several large storage warehouses, and it is definitely worth his risk!

Once he succeeds and snatches some of the high-energy crystals and gas, it will guarantee that he will enjoy it richly for tens or hundreds of years! There's no better deal than this!

"Okay...... May I venture to ask, do you know what we did on the Hyperion a month ago? ”

Renault was a little curious, didn't the other party really know that he had a fight with the Star Spirit on the Haven Star a month ago and had a relationship with those Hero Federations? Coupled with Dr. Han Sen's face, it is impossible for him to do anything about raiding Haiwen Star, right?

So, he wondered very much, how could this trust dare to say this kind of robbery to himself? Why did he dare to come to him for a partnership?!

"You Huberian? A month ago?! ”

Toh didn't know why Renault brought it up at this time.

"A month ago...... Oh! You mean, the that you robbed and hunted down the military train on the planet Tasanis of the Empire? Hey! Buddy! What are those rags worth? ”

"Please believe me, Brother Renault, as long as you join forces with me to do this vote, it will be enough for you to eat and drink for several years!"

Tosh suddenly remembered a piece of information that had been circulating recently: Renault raided the broken planet of Santanis, and also stole some excavations transported by the military train in Mengsk, and after that, it is said that they were frantically pursued by the fleet of the Tyranid Empire for a long time?

Now, the other party is estimated to have just gotten rid of the entanglement of the imperial army, right? This Renault is really, the more he mixes up, the more he goes back, and he is reduced to grabbing some excavated garbage......

"Excellent! Looks like you know ...... too"

Hearing the other party's reaction, Renault suddenly understood, this trust, it seems that he didn't know that he had been to Haiwenxing?

Thinking about it, there don't seem to be too many people who know about the fight with Xingling in Haiwenxing, except for the parties involved? At that time, the fleet of the Star Spirit had also blocked all of Haiwenxing's external communications!

And the Aglian who sold the information to Tosh, if that bastard hadn't specifically talked about it, Toshin really didn't know about it?

"Seriously, Tosh...... I don't think it's a good idea to attack the capital of a faction! Even if it's just a new force......"

After knowing that the other party had this idea, Renault finally understood what the other party's big deal was.

He even wants to raid Haven Star and steal the energy stocks of the Federation of Heroes? That's a lot of fun......

What's more, what's even more interesting is that the other party doesn't even know that he has a relationship with the hero federation above Hai Wenxing? That's really interesting......

From this point of view, the Aglian Erwuzai, who sold the information to Trust, probably didn't say in the information that he was in Haiwen Star at the time, and he was fighting side by side with the Hero Federation against the Star Spirit, right?

"Of course I know it's not a good idea! However, as far as I know, the other side's space fleet is only five heavy battlecruisers of the old model! Moreover, they also have to disperse and patrol a star field of Nuoda, there will definitely be a lot of loopholes! If my Wraith's men are paired with your Hyperion, then we have a good chance of succeeding! ”

Soon, after seeing Renault's seemingly intentional expression, Tosh gave his general arrangement.

He planned to let Renault's Hubelion, which has the ability to leap in battle, attract and entangle the five old battlecruisers after three days, and then his ghost troops will take a transport ship and a medium-sized fast cruiser to directly and forcibly attack Hyvenstar, and grab enough energy crystals and gas warehouses before the opponent's battleships can return to defense, and then run away!

Toshi believed that as long as Renault could help him entangle those five battleships for twenty minutes, or even ten minutes, then they could obtain a huge wealth that they could never imagine in their lifetime!

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that Tuo Xu feels that this transaction, which is proportional to the risk and income, is very worthy of their vote!

"I'm so sorry! Buddy...... We have more important business to do on the Hyperion now to make a trip to the Harbor of the Dead, so ...... I don't want to meddle in this big deal of yours......"

Renault pretended to think about it very seriously, and then politely declined the other party with a look of pity.

"And, as you know, we just had a vote on the planet Tassanis, and we've been working on a pretty good job lately, so we're not short of money, and we don't want to clash with other forces anymore. So, we want to get out of the limelight for a while......"

Renaud knew that he had said it all, and he believed that this trust should have a look and retreat.

"That's right...... That's a pity! Looks like I'm going to have to do this good deal on my own! Originally, you could have made a lot of money from it......"

Come with the excitement and return with the defeat!

I thought it was a win-win cooperation, but I didn't expect it to be such an ending? If I don't feel lost in my heart, it's absolutely impossible!

"I'm really sorry, we have more important things to do to go to Dead Man's Harbor right now, so, good luck to you?"

After speaking, Renault didn't wait for the other party's reply, and directly turned off the other party's communication.

"Hehe......"

That's a lot of fun......

I didn't do a good job in the intelligence work, so I hurriedly wanted to come to my own cooperation, what kind of big deal do you want to do?! He must be crazy, right? You still want to go to the trouble of that Hero Federation?

Don't they know that even the invincible Star Spirit, and even the detachment of the other party's Golden Fleet, have been scared away by the Hero Federation in the strict sense?

As for the Hero Federation inventory energy crystal, he knows a lot of things like Renault knows better than anyone else! Now in the warehouse on his Hyperion, the high-energy crystals and gas that are enough for them to use for years are traded with the other party!

However, Renault never thought of going to fight the other party's crooked ideas!

Think of the weird and powerful melee marines on the other side, the unbelievable means of attacking the Star Spirit Mothership, the strange bear that tears the Star Spirit Archon, and the technology that also has individual teleportation?

So, in general, Renault, who knows the details of the other party, definitely doesn't want to go on this troubled water with that bastard......

Besides, thinking about that Dr. Han Sen, the beautiful student who had a crush on him and confessed his failure, Renault felt that at that time, although he clearly rejected her, he was not a scumbag enough to turn his head and turn his face and deny people, and make a robber act such as raiding Haiwenxing and robbing other people's planets, right?

So, after walking a few steps in the corridor of the battleship, after thinking for a while, Renault simply took out his communicator again, and used an encrypted channel to send a message directly to Ariel Hansen, who was far away in Haiwenxing, requesting a secret call.

“……”

"Hello? Ph.D.? Right! It's me Jim Renault...... No, no, no! Don't get me wrong, I have other more important things to ask you about......"

"That's right! Here's the thing, I've just gotten a very important piece of information: a group of interstellar bandits who have done all kinds of evil and lost their conscience, and they have calculated that they have raided your Haven Star in the last three days! That's right! The enemies are a bunch of ghosts that can become invisible! ”

"You should have an impression of that trust, right? Yeah! It's the bad guy who used to hang out and hide in the Hyperion all day! So, you'd better try to inform the higher-ups of the Hero Federation so that they can take precautions in advance......"

"Hahaha...... Dear doctor, you know me better! ”

"That's right! I will now price this message for 1,000 ...... No! I want 3,000 standard units of high-energy crystals! You ask the gang to stock up on the goods first, and next time, if I pass by Hai Wenxing, I'll stop by and take them! That's right, that's it! ”

"Okay, okay...... I see."

"Next time, when I go to Haiwenxing, I will definitely remember to go and see you! Okay, that's it......"

"If it's okay, then I'll hang up first? Okay, okay...... Good bye! ”

Anyway, Renault thinks that he and that trust are definitely not all the way!

So, this kind of thing of ventilating and selling former teammates, he Renault doesn't have a burden at all to do it!

Tuo Xu and Ariel Han Sen, which one is closer to you, you can know this thing with your toes, right?

Look, how nice is it now? Without having to send a single soldier himself, or offending the Hero Federation that is not easy to mess with, he can easily earn three thousand standard units of high-energy crystals, where can he find such a good deal?

"Huh...... In that case, things must be more interesting, right? ”

After turning off the communicator, Renault's mood suddenly became relaxed.

It seems like he could go to the bar and have a few good drinks before taking a nap? As for the trust...... Anyway, he has long seen that the other party is not pleasing to the eye, and now he has the opportunity to yin the other party, so why not do it?

If the other party directly planted a heel on Hai Wenxing and gave him his life, it would be even better!
