Chapter 6 Trade-offs (II)

"Your Excellency, this matter is beyond our control!" The wise man of the Gambino said cautiously,

"Maybe we should contact the royal court immediately now, and discuss the next steps with the Great Chiefs, especially those Highnesses who have befriended you, if we can...... Withdraw our troops as soon as possible, lest we face the counterattack of the Human Empire alone. ”

The strong people present are all the henchmen and direct clansmen of the Grand Commander, and some words do not need to be said too clearly, as one of the fifteen strongest tribes in the royal court, the Grand Commander of Sagusnoqi led the elite of his headquarters to attack this time, and the results were brilliant, and according to the practice of the royal court, he had the right to share the richest share of the spoils, but this would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the other tribes.

The royal court sacrifice ceremony will be held soon, and then the alliance, the open and secret battles of the leaders of the various tribes have become white-hot, and no one dares to say that they are sure to laugh to the bottom of the new generation of kings from which tribe, so Sagusnoch will persuade the elders of his tribe to mobilize the elite of the tribe to raid the borders of the human empire, so as to earn military exploits and prestige, and increase the winning chips for the upcoming power struggle.

The last time the royal court secretly discussed, that is, the several tribes that led this faction negotiated on behalf of the royal court and the high-level leaders of several other foreign civilizations, hoping to concentrate the strength of multiple races and attack at the same time to jointly suppress and attack human civilization!

If their faction can successfully win the next power struggle in the royal court, then the follow-up agreements will also be implemented in turn, and the Anthropocene Realm will be weakened by gradually suppressing, infiltrating, and dividing, so as to obtain enough rich resources to enhance their clan's status in the Star Sea Realm!

So far, things have gone fairly well, but the Chinese Empire's counterattack is imminent, and the allies at this time have hesitated to wait and see, which makes the Grand Commander feel that the situation is a little bad.

"Alright! In your opinion," the Grand Commander pondered for a moment, and agreed to his henchman's proposal:

"Order our legions to pause their advance, consolidate the existing gains first, and wait until the situation is clear before deciding how to stop!"

……

Hours passed, and when Xiao Junling came out of the medical pod again, he had regained his vitality and generated another gene point.

This time, he weighed it and chose the primary speed enhancement. After all, his strength is still very weak, and if he encounters an enemy he can't deal with, the idea of running away if he can't fight is still right!

Then, he took out the pocket brain he got from the warehouse, embedded it in the energy block, activated it, and a few seconds later, a stereoscopic projection screen half a meter square appeared in front of him.

To his surprise, after some debugging, he found that the photonic network covering the entire planet was still effective, and it took almost no effort to reconnect.

"Could it be that these beast-like creatures don't know how to destroy the relay base station in the geosynchronous orbit of the planet? Or are they deliberate......" he muttered a little confused.

And he soon discovered that even the photonic interconnection network of the entire star field was accessible, which meant that the large relay base station located near the wormhole was not damaged too much.

However, due to the fall of a large number of star regions, all the human beings on the administrative planets have been lost, so the information in the network is seriously lagging behind, and the recent news is almost always updated half a month ago. He had no way of knowing the details of the Gambino invasion, except to find a few vague reports that a considerable number of overseas territories had fallen and that the Empire's top brass had begun to deploy counterattacks.

After thinking for a moment, he quit the network and turned off the light brain. Although they dare not compliment the Gambino people's technical methods, no one can say whether they will have a way to catch the traces of surviving humans by monitoring the photon network, so it is better to be careful!

Now, there are two choices in front of him: one is to lie dormant, cultivate with peace of mind, and wait for the Imperial Legion to come back and regain the lost territory, and then he will naturally be safe; Another option is to continue to go out and hunt down the lone Gambino warriors, and use fierce battles to quickly increase their strength.

There is no essential difference between the two choices, and in troubled times, strength is the foundation of survival. Moreover, the attack on that day was full of weirdness from beginning to end, how could such a top-secret expedition and research plan be leaked? Why did the Receiving Legion, which was already close at hand, disappear inexplicably? Why did the Gambino people attack at this time sooner rather than later? And the scale is unparalleled in decades, so much so that the Empire's top brass simply didn't have time to respond effectively, resulting in the Empire's defenses being breached, and the losses amounted to astronomical amounts!

Thinking of the tragic deaths of countless familiar colleagues, Xiao Junling felt a burst of flames in his heart, what kind of conspiracy was hidden in this, could it be said that the tentacles of those alien civilizations had penetrated into the upper echelons of the empire?

Moreover, what kind of shocking secret is contained in this mysterious rune that they want to obtain at a huge cost, and he must find out now!

The mind sank into the depths of the sea of consciousness again, the purple three-dimensional rune was still quietly suspended, the purple-gold brilliance full of spirituality seemed to be brighter, the tranquility was deep and majestic, and the subtle crystals of the stars escaped from the rune body from time to time, quietly integrating into his body.

When all his consciousness was focused on the rune, he saw the purple-gold brilliance flickering slightly, and the surface of the rune slowly had a slight imperceptible reaction, faintly wisps of light and mist appeared, and more crystals flew out.

Under the influence of those mysterious crystals, he felt that his muscles, bone marrow, and internal organs were all undergoing changes in a little bit, which was no longer the same as the weakness he was when he had just recovered. Especially in terms of mental power, it is almost increasing and strengthening at a speed that can be detected by the naked eye!

However, this strange treasure is not flawless, after further improving his spiritual power, he has found that the surface of the rune is covered with dense micro-cracks, like spider webs, it can be seen that it has been extremely seriously injured, how to recover, there is no clue now.

With the help of the memories and experiences of his previous life, although Xiao Junling still didn't quite understand the full function of this strange thing, he could also conclude that this thing must have an extraordinary origin, far beyond the ordinary so-called artifact flow, and it was one of the rare treasures in the entire Star Sea World!

Turning his attention back to reality, Xiao Junling took out two concentrated nutrients, unscrewed the lid and drank it all to the fullest, carefully examining the weapons beside him, and his delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. Because he found that the most advantageous weapon at hand: the high-frequency particle concussion knife, was about to run out of energy.

For ordinary alloys, as well as low-level Gambino warriors and starry beasts, the high-frequency particle concussion knife can be called indestructible. But this primary energy weapon has a fatal weakness: the demand for compressed energy blocks is too great, in fact, this is also a common problem of almost all energy weapons in the imperial military equipment system, and the lethality is directly proportional to the energy consumption index!

Gently unscrewed the handle with the jet-black anti-slip pattern, the bright silver pocket energy block inside was already dimmed, he estimated that this knife can be used up to ten times, if it can't be replenished in time for a new energy block, then it will degenerate into an ordinary cold weapon, the lethality is greatly reduced, and there is no longer any way to help the hard alloy armor of the Gambino people.

However, this specification of energy block is a military model, and the goods he got from the supermarket cannot be replaced, so he has to find another way.

"It seems that it is not possible to go out of the way, so it's okay, if you have the chance, you can kill a few more, let's take it as an experience." Xiao Junling smiled disappreciatively and said to himself.

……

Supermarket entrance.

More than two hundred murderous Gambino warriors blocked the nearby streets, and hundreds of blood-red giant eyes stared viciously at the entrance.

On the floor of the doorway, the bodies of two long-dead Gambino warriors were neatly arranged, and several guys were busy beside them.

After a moment, one of the guys raised his head and said to a Gambino who looked like a high-ranking man not far away: "Honorable Lord Zochral, my subordinates have already examined them, the wounds on their bodies are caused by human weapons, and the human who did it has at least the strength of our second-order blazing warriors!" ”

Compared to the soldiers around him, the Gambino officer's alloy armor covered almost his entire body, even the bulging spherical belly and thick tail were covered with special alloy armor leaves, and the huge head was covered with fine cyan lines, with faint red light on the lines, and occasionally a slight lightning jump looming.

"Do you mean that the remnants of the human legion are still hidden in the ruins of this city?" The Gambino officer named Zochral asked with a gloomy face.

"My lord, judging from the current situation, it should be like this......" The guy's voice trembled a little, obviously very frightened.

"Humph! It's all a bunch of rubbish," Zochlar snarled in exasperation,

"I have long instructed you not to slack off in the area that the main army has swept, and to search carefully...... Do you know what this means, you fools, along with the previous losses, more than a hundred and thirty valiant warriors have returned to the arms of our gods, and among them there are two precious warriors of the Seal......

Seeing the leader angry, many subordinates were silent, and no one dared to squeak.

The fact that the individual Gambino warriors were naturally strong enough to kill so many clansmen without alarming the high-ranking powerhouses showed that they were all killed by the human supernatural and did not use powerful energy weapons, as evidenced by autopsies of the war dead.

This means that although this area is occupied by the Gambinos, there are still many remnants of humanity hidden in the middle, and it is not safe at all!

"Immediately increase the intensity and closely monitor this urban area!" Zochral vented for a while and began to give orders coldly:

"There must be a lot of remnants of the human legion, and the elders will soon be sent down to inspect it, and it is said that the immigrant fleet is also about to arrive, if you don't clean up this place quickly, no one will be able to escape the wrath of Lord Dimuki at that time!"
