Chapter 289: Take a Risk
I have to admit that Sagusnocchi's plan is indeed worthy of the evaluation of a majestic and strategic lord, if the current Gambino royal court can annex all the tribes that are usually scattered in the vast Star Sea World Realm and the Savage Star Field, and integrate them into a powerful force with a high degree of centralization, it will indeed be an unprecedented grand cause!
At that time, the Gambino royal court not only regained the qualification to compete with the Huaxia Empire, but even went further, and it was completely possible to sit on an equal footing with the other three empires and jointly dominate the discourse power of the Star Sea World!
It's just that it takes enough time, so although Sagusnocchi doesn't care much about the orders of the Northern Hell Emperor, he still hopes that this old civilization can hold back the Huaxia people for a while longer! Only if the two of them have a mortal enmity and can't get out of it in the short term, the most beneficial result for the royal court is it!
Moreover, now the royal court legions are all relatively weak tribes, but according to the information they have had, there are several large tribes whose strength is far superior to that of the royal court, and they are not too far away from the known Star Sea World Realm, so the next battle is not optimistic!
The only thing to be thankful for is that they have mental calculations or not, and those tribes will basically not have too strict precautions without knowing it, and the effect of sneak attacks will be maximized!
Of course, Sagusnoch didn't know that the war between the two empires had already been divided at this time, and it ended with a great victory for the Chinese Empire!
No matter what the specific terms of the armistice agreement between the two sides are, due to the fact that many small and medium-sized forces have turned against the water one after another, the alliance of anti-human forces led by the Northern Hell Civilization has already existed in name only! From then on, the legions of the Chinese Empire and the civilian pioneer fleet. will enter and exit the vast Northwest Savage Star Domain without any scruples. No more worrying about being intercepted and ambushed by alien fleets!
What's worse is that. There is already a strong force within Huaxia, and it has begun to refocus on this alien civilization in the northwest territory! Perhaps it will not be long before the proposal to completely exterminate the royal court of the Gambino will be put forward by the Ministry of Defense, and as long as it is approved by the plenary meeting of the Supreme Ruling Council, then the army of the Empire will once again enter the northwest!
The current royal court defense is empty, and I am afraid that a second-rate legion in Huaxia can form a mortal threat to them!
Fortunately, not a single person in the royal court did not understand, and several nobles who had learned of the drastic changes in the Xinghai World Realm had rushed to the wilderness to find the traces of the royal court legion, intending to inform Sagusnokchi of the bad news as soon as possible!
…………
Fourth planet. In a quaint manor.
Su Yuanding stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the scenery outside expressionlessly, the golden afternoon sun shining on his body, making people feel a sense of sleepiness and comfort.
It's just that his mood is diametrically opposed to the beautiful weather outside!
The content of the subordinates' reports just now is still echoing in my ears.
"What do you say? All the people sent to capture that kid were detained by the Temple of the Silent Star? He asked, startled and angry.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" His confidant Su Guanping replied nervously,
"With that kid's identity, even if there are our people in the Silent Star Temple, because of their low level, they can't speak at all at this time! So. Cheng Dong, they are estimated to be more auspicious! ”
Su Yuanding frowned, he already overestimated Xiao Junling's ability. It is to assign Cheng Dong, a dog who has already taken refuge in the Su family, to lead more than 20 capable subordinates, plus two capable generals with the strength of the Meteorite Realm to lead the team, no matter how you look at it, it is foolproof!
As long as Xiao Junling can be captured in one fell swoop, with such an important hostage in hand, the next thing will be much easier! He could have coerced this young man to join the Shuoyue Consortium, or he could use him as a bargaining chip to force the Silent Star Temple to make concessions, especially Xichen Qinglan!
But he didn't expect it to be such a result, such an elite force didn't make any contributions, but was all dumplings by the other party! And I heard that the kid didn't even scratch his skin, and it was unilaterally suppressed from beginning to end!
"Judging by the situation, this kid's strength is far from the initial level of the Star Transformation Realm as mentioned in the intelligence, right?" Su Yuanding said coldly,
"Which waste is in charge of intelligence? Maybe it's time for me to change his position! ”
"I think so too, Your Excellency!" Su Guanping carefully echoed,
"He may have advanced to the Meteorite Realm and possess a number of unknown mysterious abilities, so our people will suffer a big loss!"
"So what now?" The head of the Su family stared into his eyes and asked.
"Your Excellency, it depends on what you mean. Or give up, or continue to send more competent men to 'invite' him to come over! The other party said sleekly.
"Give up? Is it possible? Su Yuanding sneered,
"In this Star Sea World, no one can infringe on the interests of the Shuoyue Consortium without paying the price! Even if he is a genius that the empire has not encountered in a hundred years, the future controller of the Temple of the Silent Star is no exception! ”
His son died unexplained on the front line, and the family investigation team sent later was wiped out! The reason is ridiculously lame, it was intercepted and killed by the Star Thieves Group!
Damn, are they playing like kids? The head of the Su family couldn't help but be furious when he thought of this!
This time, the family's losses were too great, and his son, a Silent Star God of War, plus a large group of elite players, was actually gone! Even though the Shuoyue Consortium has a big family and strong strength, it is difficult to withstand such a heavy blow all of a sudden!
The consortium has secretly cultivated and recruited a lot of ability combat power, but there are not many high-level abilities above the Star Transformation Realm, and the manpower lost twice before and after is already a large number! This is the strength that has been accumulated after many years of painstaking management, and most of them are his descendants of Su Yuanding! It is the capital that he can say nothing within the consortium and call for wind and rain!
Raising a Star Realm Ability, you have to pay a salary of at least two million energy points every year, not counting the additional benefits given by houses, cars, women, etc., every level of ability is improved, the various salary benefits that need to be paid will be increased by four or five times, and the more you rise, the more powerful it becomes! If the Adeptus dies in battle, a lump sum pension equivalent to sixty years' salary will be paid!
Especially a strategic force like the God of War of the Silent Star. Once lost. The impact on the strength of the family is extremely serious! And it's not just a matter of spending money to make up for it!
So. Now Su Yuanding has no choice! If decisive measures are not taken, then it will not only be difficult to convince the people within the family, but even the allies and enemies of the Su family will have doubts about their strength and determination!
"So, what do you mean......" Su Guanping asked hesitantly.
Su Yuanding's thick eyebrows furrowed, and he paced back and forth in the room a few times before he said with pain: "Please come to that person!" ”
Su Guanping was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency." That guy is a dangerous guy, and his asking price is too harsh, too uneconomical......"
"So far, how can you take care of so much?" Su Yuanding said slightly angrily,
"Family interests above all else! The strength of the Temple of the Silent Star is too important for our future layout! So don't miss out! ”
"Yes......" Su Guanping sighed secretly in his heart, and went out to arrange.
It's just that before his mind could stabilize, another bad news came, Cheng Dong and the others had been removed from the imperial security department. There are also a number of middle- and lower-level officials who are secretly involved with the Su family, and they have been transferred out of the imperial capital. Sent to the edge of the empire to work as a coolie! And this is the instruction personally made by Wei Zhenhua, the supreme person in charge of the Imperial Security Council and the Grand Consul!
The cunning and cunning man immediately sniffed out the deep meaning behind this matter: the top of the empire is very dissatisfied with the recent actions of the Shuoyue Consortium! That's why it's a stern warning in this way!
So, now he has two choices: give up altogether, or continue to act regardless of it.
In fact, there is no need to consider this at all, no matter how powerful the Su family is, it is impossible to cover the sky in the imperial capital and argue with the state machine, and the final outcome is self-evident!
However, he has always been strong, and he is always a little unwilling!
"Damn, how can this kid have such a tough backstage?" He scolded smugly.
It's just that after thinking of that person's horror, his already somewhat subdued mind came alive again. Maybe, as long as he can make a move and do something more hidden, there should be no problems, right?
Even if it will upset some big people afterwards, as long as there is no substantial evidence, they will probably not say anything! It's nothing more than secretly paying some benefits for themselves to make them get by!
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind.
…………
At night, outside the "Maple Shadow" trading house on the seventh planet, there was still a lot of traffic, and it was extremely prosperous.
In the auction hall, the maid chose a closed private room on the top floor for Xiao Junling and others, who had just arrived, and the area was large enough, from here you could overlook the entire huge auction hall!
"I heard that there are a lot of good things in this year's auction items, and there are some rare treasures handed down from foreign civilizations, this time you have to choose carefully, you can't miss it!" Zhou Yun flipped through the list in his light brain and said.
"Of course, we won't go home empty-handed this time!" Xiao Junling gently held Zhou Meng's jade hand and smiled slightly.
I haven't seen her for nearly a year, and she has become more and more beautiful, and because of her power, her temperament has also changed subtly, appearing more noble and elegant, and a pair of bright eyes look at him gently, never moving away for a moment.
Yu Xin'er, An Yulong, and Zuo Shiji and others were all present, anyway, the private room was big enough, and it was not crowded to sit down with so many people!
On the golden platform in the center of the hall, an old man with a dignified expression and a senior auctioneer's nameplate on his chest was giving a brief introduction to the items in a golden tray beside him! Around him, heavily armed high-level adepts were guarded, showing that it was of great value.
“…… Ladies and gentlemen, the treasure I want to introduce below, called 'Dusk Zerora Gel Cloud', is produced in the territory of the Grosjavi Empire, an alien civilization, and according to the experts' identification, it contains an extremely abundant amount of dark energy, which can be used as a sub-artifact-level ability to equip the energy core!
