In a remote and barren planetary synchronous orbit on the outskirts of the Kphoru region, there is a large abandoned space gas station floating in the synchronous orbit of the planet, looking so tattered that even the signboard is half left!

Obviously, this thing hasn't been taken care of for at least years?

It was originally a large-scale artificial space station built during the old Tylen Federation, a multi-functional space station integrating energy supplementation, leisure and entertainment, shopping and accommodation, and the actual area inside is equivalent to a large space base, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people!

Of course, this is just the way it was before, not now!

Originally, it was located on a busy commercial waterway, and various space merchant ships or space cruise ships carrying passengers often needed to replenish energy and supplies here, making this space refueling station extremely prosperous.

However, due to the war between the Dominion Alliance and the Old Tyranid Federation, several important commercial, mineral, or tourist colonization planets on this route were severely damaged by the war, and the route gradually became deserted.

Over time, this large space refueling station, which could not make ends meet and did not see a single spacecraft docked all year round, was finally abandoned by its original owner......

But while it looks a little tattered on the outside, there's something else on the inside!

Because, it was secretly modified and reinstalled with new power by the ghost forces of the Tyranid Empire, so that it would not lose speed and crash to the surface of this barren planet.

At the same time, it is also a secret base for ghost agents, where at least hundreds of ghost agents and hundreds of other marines and staff are stationed all year round! These people are often ordered here to go to one star sector after another to carry out secret missions in Mengsk.

At this time, in a large training hall in the secret base of the ghost agents, there were more than 100 ghost agents holding guns around three subdued agents who were also wearing ghost suits.

And on the ground around them, there were more than a dozen ghosts or marines lying in pools of blood.

Just when the three agents who were surrounded in the center of this training hall did not understand why these former colleagues suddenly attacked themselves and others, these besieging ghost agents suddenly automatically moved out of the way, and then, a female ghost with a good figure and a beautiful face, holding an electromagnetic pistol in her right hand, and carrying a special weapon box on her left and right, walked over from the path that everyone had moved out of the way towards the three people who were in terror in the encirclement.

"You ......"

"So it's you? Why are you doing this? What's in it for you! ”

"Nova? You slut! How dare you betray the Empire? The Great Mengsk will not let you go! And you, all of you!! ”

When they saw that it was Agent Nova who walked up to the three of them, the three ghosts were surprised and puzzled, and at the same time, they questioned one after another, and one of them even scolded directly.

They don't understand, this Nova, why did she do this? What's in it for her to betray the Empire? And, what exactly did she do to get so many agents to listen to her?

"Humph!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nova with a cold face, didn't even bother to say a word, and after snorting coldly, she shook her hand like lightning and shot three times.

Three scorching electromagnetic bullets opened a big hole from the eyebrows of the three people who were scolding, and penetrated through the back of their heads into the wooden floor, making them lie motionless in a pool of blood and brains, and then sneered and raised their heads to look around at the people who were concerned.

"All of you, listen to me!"

After glancing coldly at these ghosts with complicated faces, although extremely reluctant but having to obey their orders, Nova felt a strange pleasure in her heart.

That's right, sometimes, when she is not happy, then she can try to make more people unhappy! In this way, she herself will be satisfied?

"These are mass-produced contract gems! As for their effects, I think you must have experienced them by now, right? ”

After glancing with interest at the complicated faces of her colleagues, Nova smiled and kicked the box she was carrying in her left hand with at least hundreds of red gems the size of her thumb.

"There are still a lot of people in this base, and they don't know what is going on here, so I need you to move now, and before they react, all the valuable targets and military commanders are controlled!"

"If there is a control failure...... Then just like these three people, kill them all! Got it, right? Then let's get started! ”

After watching the ghost agents silently lean over and grab a handful of gems, and then turn on their invisibility and leave the open hall door, Nova glanced at the already empty weapon case.

Then, not knowing what she had in mind, she laughed self-deprecatingly, and activated the ghost suit stealth device herself, and disappeared into the training hall where a dozen dead people were lying, leaving this place that should have been noisy without a single living figure......

This red gem is clearly the work of the Supreme Head of the Heroic Federation, the demigod Archmage Anne Hasta.

Eager to rule the entire Kproru Star Zone, and didn't want to fight honestly, let alone follow the example of the previous high-ranking Mengsk, Xiao Annie used her personal charm and speech ability to fool others and waste time.

Then, she threw all the high-energy crystals that were used as carriers and energy into it!

Then, those crystals were in the magic array, like popping beans, and easily got her a lot of mass-produced soul slavery contract carrying tools.

In your opinion, there is such a thing as a slave, catching one is catching, and a hundred is also catching, so why don't you just play bigger, catch him tens of thousands and live hundreds of thousands?

Anyone who is controlled by this mass-produced contract gem will not change their memory, thoughts, and will in any way, but will only instinctively not and cannot disobey orders, let alone act against the Führer and the Hero Federation!

Moreover, because it is a mass-produced type, the effectiveness of this thing is a bit low, and it only has more than ten years of control effect.

As for their success rate, although it is not 100%, it is not too low, at least, no matter how bad it is, there is a chance of more than 98% that they can be contracted.

It is precisely because of this that the staff members who were killed and the three ghost agents who were surrounded before were killed because they were killed!

Who made them have such a high degree of resistance and soul strength when they made a contract, and they happened to encounter that extremely low probability?

Of course, this contract gem is not without drawbacks, and its biggest drawback is that it only has more than ten years of control effect, but for this problem, little Anne has never worried!

Think about it, if a person has been silently controlled from the soul for more than ten years, and his own will is not disturbed in the slightest, and when the contract on his (or her) body disappears and ends, he has long been accustomed to obeying orders, accustomed to serving the Hero Federation, and has been institutionalized, will he still want to turn a corner from it?

The habit that has been cultivated for more than ten years is very fatal to human beings who only have a lifespan of about 100 years!

"Hello? Feed? Has anyone received it? Hurry up and answer! ”

"I'm the communications soldier of the XXX space station of the ghost base, and we have a big incident here!"

"Those ghost agents, they've all rebelled! They, as well as the military commander of the base, also rebelled! Those who didn't want to join them were almost all killed now! Now, I beg you to come and save me! Who is there and no one hears it? I request support...... Uh......"

As the communications officer was hiding in a remote abandoned pipe, quietly trying to communicate with the outside world using a portable communication device, suddenly, a psionic blade glowing blue stabbed straight out of his mouth, roughly interrupting his attempts to continue the call.

"Uh......"

Then, as he dropped the communication device and made a strange noise in his throat, trying to reach out to cover his blood-soaked mouth, the psionic blade was twisted and spun violently by the invisible being behind him......

A human head with wide eyes and an incredible expression on its face slid silently and soon fell along with his headless body in a huge steel pipe covered in dust.

The surrounding light was distorted, and Nova, who was in shape, glanced coldly at the portable communication device, and the red light on it, which represented a poor signal, kept flashing wildly.

"Humph! Stupidity! ”

Then, she snorted coldly, took two steps forward and raised her foot, and directly stepped on the communication device into a pile of sparks......

Still want to communicate with the outside world? How could she make such a low-level mistake?

Before she could prepare to operate in this ghostly secret base, her warship moored in the port area had already blocked all the signals near the airport!

Therefore, before sunrise tomorrow, until they completely control this base and eliminate all the failed contract losers or fish that slipped through the net, the communication here will definitely not be restored!

"A bunch of useless things!"

Those incompetent ghosts could have missed such a communication soldier, which made her feel very dissatisfied!

You know, it's only the first small step of the "Sky Stealing Plan" she is responsible for, and she almost made those bastards make a big basket!

Could it be that now the overall quality of these new recruits in the empire is so authentic?

When Nova became invisible again and left, here, except for a detached corpse and a string of bloody footprints, the abandoned space station area was left with endless darkness......

————

At the same time that Ghost Agent Nova was on the move, in an area of the Kprushi Sector, Tosh and his spirits were also on the move.

Planet Terrado II, the second star of the Terrado Colony Planet Chain, has become the capital planet and military garrison planet of the Terrado Planet Administrative Region since the Terrado I planet was destroyed in the war during the Tyranid Federation.

Not only is it home to the Council of the Supreme Administrators of the Planetary Districts, but it is also the home port planet of the Terrado Local Fleet!

Here, there are about millions of Imperial troops and hundreds of starships, large and small, stationed! Of course, with the exception of the three battleships, most of them were small and medium-sized cruisers or troop carriers.

It is these fleets and armies that are responsible for the security and stability of the entire administrative region of Terrado, which is one of the most important administrative regions of the Tyranid Empire.

It's just that since UNN TV broke the black news of Emperor Mengsk not long ago, more than a dozen colonial planets in the administrative region of Terardo have become turbulent.

The people almost ran to the streets to protest every day, and all kinds of violent incidents emerged one after another, and even the starfleet and ground troops in Terrado became a bit chaotic, and some soldiers or mid- and low-level officers more or less openly disobeyed orders, and even began to show signs of desertion or preparing to riot?

At a time when the Speaker of the District and the Fleet Commanders were struggling with various issues, the Terrado Chamber of Commerce, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, which has deep financial resources and ranks first in the Terrado Star District, has intersecting black and white, and even has connections with the high-level leaders of the Imperial Capital, suddenly sent invitations to the Speaker of the Council, the Fleet Commander, the Commander of the Ground Forces, and so on.

It is said that it was the Terrado Chamber of Commerce that discovered a strange planet in a distant star field, and then, on the planet, there is some kind of extremely rare energy gem? It's a pity that around this planet, there is a large number of swarm forces?

Therefore, in the case that they could not swallow one gulp, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, in line with the principle of mutual benefit and reciprocity, planned to invite the military and dignitaries of Terardo to participate in the joint development of the planet they discovered containing great wealth.

And the high-ranking military and political officials, who had long been annoyed by all kinds of miscellaneous things in the star area, after hearing this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, of course agreed on the spot, promising that they would definitely arrive on time when the time came!

Therefore, today, after these high-ranking military and political officials were busy with their respective affairs, they took their subordinates or bodyguards as agreed, and took various spaceships to a manor-like space station affiliated to the Terrado Chamber of Commerce in the planetary synchronous orbit of Terrado II.

In this podium-like garden building, a party is being held that only belongs to the military and political leaders and the upper echelons of the star district.

Here, the luxury of the ultimate human imagination!

The floor is a finely carved gemstone floor, surrounded by precious flowers, bizarre trees, and magical critters that house the specialties of each planet!

The sky, on the other hand, is directly covered with hemispherical transparent high-strength military glass, which can effectively block harmful rays and strong light in various universes, and allow visiting VIPs to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Terrado Star Region.

That is to say, the Terrado Chamber of Commerce can have this outrageous financial resources to make such a manor-like orbital platform on the synchronous orbit! I'm afraid that its cost alone can withstand one or two battleships? Only these corrupt bureaucrats and dignitaries of the Tyranid Empire or the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce can enjoy such comfortable treatment.

"Haha! Commander William? Why, you're also invited? ”

"Come on, let's have a good chat, lately, but I haven't had a chance to have a few drinks with you! By the way, how have you handled the affairs of the military lately? ”

The Speaker of the Parliament, who was holding a glass of wine and greeting his colleagues, met with a smile and a smile when he saw several officers in civilian uniforms leading them to the garden.

"Oh! Is that Mr. Speaker? ”

"Alas...... Don't mention it! Now our army is probably much more chaotic than in your city! I don't dare to move or assign any combat missions now, for fear of causing some big trouble! ”

Commander William, while greeting the speaker, shook his head, sat down on a fine white jade chair, and beckoned the waiter to bring him a glass of wine.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Welcome to the Aerial Eden of the Terrado Chamber of Commerce! I'm very happy to be here today, and we're ......."

When all the invited VIPs had arrived, the old president of the Terrado Chamber of Commerce, an old man with Mediterranean hair, dressed in a modest old tuxedo, walked behind a podium that had been temporarily moved by the attendants, and began to speak into the microphone.

"Alright, Hanks! We're all old acquaintances, so there's no need to be verbose if you're polite, right? Hurry up, bring your findings out to us and let us see, and if this is true, I'm sure I'll be involved! ”

Commander William, who was busy with military affairs and didn't have time to politely grind with this old man here, immediately coaxed loudly.

"Commander William is right! Hanks, you don't know, how busy are the rest of us in the recent period? ”

After seeing the military bigwigs speak, the speaker also agreed.

He just glanced around and found that here, there were not only high-level military, political and business leaders in the Terardo Star District, but even some leaders of underworld mercenaries?

This Terrado Chamber of Commerce, what did they find that was remarkable enough to invite so many people to participate? Isn't this old man Hanks not afraid of more monks and less porridge? When the time comes, in the case of uneven distribution, the offended people will not be one or two!

"That's right! Let's get straight to the point, old Hanks......"

"Haha! I just love Commander William's straightforward personality! ”

"Seconded! Settle it out early and go back early! ”

"I agree too!"

"If you can make money, let's talk about it quickly, and then talk about other things!"

Seeing that some bigwigs began to ask to go directly to the topic, others also began to make noise after talking to each other for a while.

Ever since they knew that the Terrado Chamber of Commerce had discovered a planet containing extremely valuable energy crystals, they had already been itching!

This big chamber of commerce, which usually disdains to look at them, is bizarrely willing to share it this time? So, what exactly did they find? So that they have to share it when they can't keep it alone, and plan to develop it together?

How much is at stake in this? Worthy of so many people invited by their Terrado Chamber of Commerce? Just thinking about it can make most of the people here blush and pant!

"Okay, okay, let's be quiet......."

Seeing that the scene began to be out of his control, Old Hanks had no choice but to suppress his hands and signal everyone to be patient and quiet down first, and listen to him, the old man, say a few words first.

"Since everyone's mood is so urgent, then I, an old man, won't hide it! Now, please trust Mr. Xu! ”

After an inexplicable smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, no one noticed, and old Hanks said loudly, and looked over to the side of the gate of the garden platform.

Then, everyone saw a dark-skinned and scumbag-bearded man in a crisp suit, tie, and sunglasses on the bridge of his nose leading several attendants with a delicate crystal plate in their hands.

Then, at the signal of the big man with sunglasses, these attendants began to scatter, holding those crystal plates, and walked to the VIPs, signaling that the other party could pick up those red gem-like crystals for preliminary enjoyment.

Obviously, this should be the precious mineral found by their Terrado Chamber of Commerce?

"Hmm...... This one...... Seems like it's just a beautiful energy crystal? ”

"I'm sorry, Hanks, but it seems to me that they're not the same as the high-energy crystals I've seen so often, except for their different colors?"

Commander William picked up a red gem and looked at it carefully for a while, weighed it, and got closer to feel the energy fluctuations in it, and then asked the old Hanks, who was still standing behind the podium with a smile, with some curiosity.

Anyway, no matter how he looked at it, it was just a cut red high-energy crystal?

At most, the color is a little weird? Pretty? Could it be that they, the Terrado Chamber of Commerce, have discovered some special use that he doesn't know about?

Their military has not had a lot of contact with high-energy crystals and high-energy gas, so William felt that his own judgment should not be wrong!

"That's right! I also think this crystal is very ordinary...... At most, is the concentration of energy a little higher? ”

"It's pretty, maybe, this thing can be sold as a gem?"

"No kidding! Now gold and gems are worthless, and when energy crystals come to develop, it's almost the same! ”

"Well, I don't know if you've noticed, the energy contained in it seems to be very active?"

After hearing the question from Fleet Commander William, the others also looked up at Hanks, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, with a little curiosity, hoping that he could answer an answer that would satisfy them all.

"Huh...... This question, we will ask the captain who found this special mineral to solve your doubts! ”

After a cold glint flashed in his eyes, old Hanks stepped out of the way of the podium and let Tosh, who was dressed like a dog, stand up.

"Ahem! Hello everyone! My name is Tosh...... Well......"

After seeing that the dignitaries and nobles below didn't seem to be interested in the name of their little pawn, Tuo Xu didn't bother to explain anything.

"Since all the distinguished guests are already impatient, then I'll just say it!"

"These gems, actually, they're just some high-energy crystals...... But they also have a wonderful use, and when we do that, something really wonderful happens to them! For example...... Such? ”

After saying that, after looking at the dignitaries and nobles in the audience with a sneer, Tuo Xu snapped his fingers quickly.

In the next second, at the moment when everyone was stunned, the red high-energy crystals in the hands of the group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries below suddenly emitted bursts of bewitching red light, and soon wrapped those military and political dignitaries who were caught off guard......

————

"Wow? My Führer, you've already been modified?! ”

The day after returning to Havenstar, Anne received a notice that her ship, the Führer, numbered one, had been officially refitted by now.

The hard-working SCV engineers and the employees of the Starport factory, according to the strange drawings and holographic models provided by their little Führer, took nearly a month to install energy circuits paved with high-energy crystals inside and outside this huge warship, although they didn't know what it was for.

"Lord Anne, here, I have to ask: what is the use of you wasting so many energy crystals to convert this expensive warship into this appearance?"

Doug has always been puzzled by this matter!

Neither the results of the engineers' discussions, nor the simulations of the Dawn of Wisdom, could not understand the significance of the Führer's modification of the battleship.

If it weren't for the fact that what this little Führer of theirs had always done had some kind of meaning, she Doug would have secretly stopped this matter a long time ago, right?

"Of course it's useless now! Because, I haven't installed the magic core and magic circle link on it yet! ”

How could it be useless?

Little Anne had been planning to turn this flagship of her own into a moving mage tower! The magic battleship has a cannon and asks if you are afraid?

Once she had installed the magic core and the links to the replica of the massive magic array, it was barely usable! And the circuits of those high-energy crystals are just conducting energy!

When the time comes, as long as the energy is enough, a big planet can be easily shattered to show you!

"Yours again, the weird thing called magic?"

Doug knew it would be like this.

It is precisely because of this that she did not make a noise to stop the modification of the battleship before, and secretly asked the engineers to copy all the drawings and prepare to hand them over to someone to study later.

"Nonsense! Magic isn't weird! It's just that you don't understand! ”

After saying that, little Anne didn't care about her anymore, and disappeared in place with a flash.

She needed to take a look at the ship now, and see if the engineers who didn't know anything had changed her magic circuit?

This matter must be treated with caution! If a mistake or an energy circuit is not strong, it will be a big problem when it comes to casting spells later, which is absolutely sloppy!

"That's right! Gallian! What did you do when you secretly left Haiwenxing this time?! ”

Seeing his Führer teleporting away, Doug immediately sternly questioned Galen, the leader of the guard who was responsible for following the little Führer throughout the process.

This time, Little Anne disappeared with the medium-sized cruiser for several days, and there was no report, and there was no contact on the way, but during this period, Doug was worried for a long time!

"Haha! That one...... Trust me, Adjutant Doug, you won't want to know about this! ”

After thinking about all the things that little Anne had done in the past few days, and what she was about to do, Galen was afraid of scaring this Doug adjutant, so he didn't dare to say it directly.

Besides, this matter has been strictly ordered by Führer Anne, and none of them can tell anyone about it until it is successful!

Whoever dares to spoil her good deeds, it is definitely not as simple as closing the small black house!

"The Mysterious ......"

Looking at the twenty Führer Guards, who were silent and secretive, Doug was not too embarrassed, waved his hand, and signaled that they could get out of here now.

In her mind, at most, it was just to accompany the little girl to a certain planet, and go to someone's territory to steal chickens and dogs, play picnic parties or something? Or maybe you accidentally stole something good from someone else, and that's it? How else can it be?

“……”

Originally, there were still some things that needed to be dealt with by Führer Anne herself, but considering the attitude of the other party, Doug felt that it was better to discuss it with the military and the rest of the council.
