Chapter 362: Sarnagar Artifact
"What did you say?!"
Renault was so excited that he rushed up and grabbed Qiao Lu's collar, completely losing his previous composure and calmness.
"Sir!" Matt hurriedly came up and held Renault, which was not the way to behave during negotiations.
Under Matt's reminder, Renault realized his gaffe, and quickly let go of his hand and asked, "I'm sorry, but what to do?" ”
In any case, Renault's performance has proved that the Queen of Blades is what he cares about the most, and with this chip in hand, Qiao Lu has a lot of money to make him cooperate.
"The crux of the matter is the alien artifact fragment that Tykis asked you to collect, which is an ancient Sarnagar artifact called the Keystone. It can reverse Sarah Kelrigan's path to becoming the Queen of Blades, and also free her from the control of the Zerg Master. ”
Although even if Jolu didn't say it, Renaud would later learn about it from Mengsk's son Valerian, then he would be working with Valerian instead of collecting Keystone shards with the Wandering Earth.
"Are you telling the truth?"
When Renault asked, it actually meant that he was already going to agree to Qiao Lu's conditions.
Qiao Lu said confidently: "Whether it is true or false will be known after you have collected all the artifact fragments, anyway, the condition I put forward is that you will give us the complete keystone, and we will help you turn the Queen of Blades back into a human." ”
Renaud fell into deep thought, but his final answer was always as Qiao Law Firm expected: "What do you want me to do?" ”
"As before, collect the alien artifact shards, just don't tell anyone about it, and until we collect all the keystone shards, let's make this our secret deal."
As he spoke, Qiao Lu stretched out his hand to Renault and asked, "Deal?" ”
Renault hesitated slightly, but still shook Qiao Lu's hand and said, "Deal." ”
At the moment when the two parties reached an agreement, Qiao Lu received a prompt from the system.
"The relationship between The Wandering Earth and the Ranger has been elevated to 'allies.'"
"Reach a military alliance agreement with the Alien Civilization: Ranger and gain 3000 Civilization Points."
"The Wandering Earth obtains Protocol Mission: Purify the Queen of Blades."
Protocol Mission: Purify the Queen of Blades
Mission Description:
Not being able to rescue Sarah Carrigan and make her the Queen of Blades is a constant pain in Jim Renault's heart, and only if there is a glimmer of hope to save her, Renault will do whatever it takes.
Objective: Turn the Queen of Blades back into a human and bring her back to the Hyperion
Reward: 8,000 civilization points, all keystone fragments collected belong to the wandering earth
"Tearing up the agreement with the Rangers will declare this mission a failure, so please maintain the alliance between the two sides."
In this way, Qiao Lu succeeded in getting the Rangers to his side, and as long as he followed Renault, he was able to know the whereabouts of all the remaining Keystone fragments, which was undoubtedly the most important thing.
"So, let me see the alien artifact fragments you collected earlier."
At Jolly's request, Renault took him to the Hubelian's laboratory. As Qiao Lu expected, they had already collected the first keystone fragment, which was floating in the center of the laboratory.
It's a mysterious metal object like a building block, and it can be seen that it's the top part of a column, but its true power will not be known until all the pieces are collected.
In any case, now that the first keystone fragment is available, the Wandering Earth can send scientists to investigate and confirm that these alien artifacts will be the energy source that the Wandering Earth needs to collect when they travel to the next plane.
"Then I hope we have a good time working together in the future." Qiao Lu officially declared, "We will send a fleet to follow you in the future, and I should be stationed on your ship as a special envoy, so I will ask you to take care of it in the future." ”
With that, Jolu left the Hyperion. From now on, it's time for the Wandering Earth to go on an expedition in the Kpru.
He first returned to the wandering Earth via the planetary engine portal tower to explain the gains of the negotiations to the rest of the coalition government.
"We've managed to get the Rangers on our side, and now we'll be able to encourage the Tyranid colonies to rebel in their name and include more planets in our one-ball plan. At the same time, we have also found fragments of alien artifacts suspected to be able to be used as the energy source of this crossing on their ship, and scientists have been sent to investigate and verify. ”
The other council representatives were very surprised by Qiao Lu's results, originally the Wandering Earth had no clue what to do in this plane, but now after Qiao Lu's negotiations, the situation became clear in an instant.
Not only how to deal with the quantum collapse crisis in six months, but even how the Wandering Earth expands its power in this plane has been considered, it can be said that the entire strategic policy has been clarified, and the next step is how to take action around this policy.
"So, what do you think we're going to do next?" Luo Feng asked Qiao Lu.
Qiao Lu replied, "We can fight on two fronts, on the one hand, let the Ark follow the Rangers to continue collecting alien artifact fragments, and on the other hand, send a human fleet represented by the Ten Thousand Years Blizzard to recover those colonial planets of the Tyranid Empire. Expand our power as we gather power sources to travel to the New World. ”
Qiao Lu naturally has to take on the task of collecting keystone fragments, and all the matters of recovering the colonies of the Tyranid Empire and expanding the power of the Wandering Earth in the StarCraft plane will be handed over to the rest of the Wandering Earth.
Now that the second interstellar battleship of the Wandering Earth has also been built, it should be able to build a larger human fleet in this half a year, so Qiao Lu will also be relieved to hand over this aspect to them, for the time being, he only needs to mobilize the Ark.
Luo Feng nodded and said, "I understand." Then you will lead an expeditionary force and the Ark and the Hyperion to operate together, and you can call for support at any time in case of trouble, and we will send a fleet to support you as much as possible, after all, your side is a matter of life and death on the Wandering Earth. ”
"At the same time, have your newly built human fleet expedition to other Tyranid colonies, using the Ranger fame to encourage them to overthrow the Empire or reclaim lost ground from the swarms. In any case, expand our power in this plane as much as possible to meet the challenges that may become more and more difficult in the future! ”
The Wandering Earth's expedition is about to begin, with the goal of becoming the fourth largest force in the StarCraft plane, and start a new round of struggle!
