C-30 Void Node.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Cullen sat in the command room of the B-class starship, and his heart was uneasy, their vanguard did not return at the appointed time, which made him anxious to walk back and forth in the command room.

From time to time, look at the virtual image of the fleet formation, and from time to time look at the screen that transmits the image in front of you in real time.

"It seems that they are more than lucky."

Sullivan still uttered the sentence with a blank face.

In his opinion, it is a matter of course for employees to be ready to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of the company from the moment they sign the contract, even for him.

However, although he was very indifferent, he was actually very uncomfortable.

These low-level employees are consumables, but the company doesn't know how long it will take to replenish them.

After all, there are only those fresh graduates every year, but there are many companies that are more attractive than them.

"Alas...... Is there going to be a war? ”

Cullen asked, frowning.

"I don't know, it depends on whether there is value in development on the other side of the rift...... Commander Karen, get ready for the second fleet to move. ”

"Okay."

Just as Cullen was about to pick up the communicator and prepare to give the order, his deputy suddenly said to him:

"Boss, there's something coming out of the rift, here."

"Huh?"

Cullen hurriedly zoomed in on the real-time communication video.

The eyes of his deputy's hands were modified electronic eyes that could see farther and more clearly than he could.

Sure enough, in the corner of the void rift, an E-class ship slowly appeared in his field of vision.

But it didn't seem to be being in control of the small ship: it just continued to float in one direction by inertia after it sailed out of the chasm.

And then, and then there was nothing.

When I went, there were two majestic ships.

When I returned, I was left with a lonely ship.

What's the situation? Did the first batch make people rob?

"The second batch will be ordered to recover the ships."

Cullen ordered.

Soon, a large D-class ship sailed out of the second batch of fleets and carried out the recovery mission perfectly.

"Check the ship's information storage device, is there a message from the first batch of squads?"

"Roger, Commander."

About five minutes later, Karen's B-Tier starship received a message from the second team:

"Please forward this message to the commander immediately, the first batch of teams have an emergency report!"

"Dear Commander, First Team Leader, codenamed 'Controller', reports to you: we have met the commander of the Alpha Mobile Fortress and his men on the other side of the rift, and it is unknown which side they belong to."

"The commander of the Alpha Mobile Fortress would like to have a direct conversation with you."

Cullen read the information and fell into a tangle.

Are you really going?

But the first batch of teams were obviously detained by the other party, if they really went over there, wouldn't they be in the mouth of a tiger?

"If I were you, I should order them to search the ship's controllers."

Sullivan read the news on the sidelines and showed a rare smile.

"What do you mean?"

Cullen wondered.

"Oh, maybe I'm from a security background, so I'm a little more sensitive than you."

"The squad leader of the batch fleet does not deserve such a thing as a code name at all."

"But he just gave himself a code name."

"It can be said that it is a kind of wit, if he can come back safely, I will ask for a promotion, and when the time comes, he will have a real code name."

Sullivan pointed to the three large words "controller" on the screen.

"I see."

Karen suddenly realized and hurriedly ordered.

Sure enough, the head of the second fleet quickly sent back a picture.

The picture is a crumpled note.

Such a low-level way of recording information, but it recorded a piece of news that shocked everyone:

"Found an abandoned S-class interstellar fortress, the integrity is above 70%, the opponent's combat effectiveness is not high, request support!"

The information on the picture is displayed in its entirety on the screen.

In the command room, the sound of ear-to-ear exchanges faded away, and silence filled the place.

Cullen was still wondering if he was dazzled, Sullivan had already walked in front of him, and said with a serious expression:

"It seems that this war is inevitable."

"There is no need for any dialogue at all."

"An S-class interstellar fortress, even if it's just a possibility, will make all the companies in Mani City fight for blood."

Sullivan's outfit was out of place with the rest of the room, a spacious trench coat and a pair of leather boots that were worth a lot of money at first glance.

From top to bottom, the Extreme Cold Company is wearing a standard company-standard combat uniform.

At this time, Sullivan did not hide it anymore, and the momentum of the high position overwhelmed everyone.

"In the name of the shareholder of the Extreme Cold Corporation, the senior security advisor, I suggest that you, the head of the C-30 Void Node and the commander of the Temporary Action Fleet, Mr. Karen, please dispatch all your forces and attack!"

The last sentence already has a command meaning.

Karen stared at him and didn't speak for a long time.

His lieutenant seemed to sense the danger and stood in front of him.

Finally, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:

"Don't you need to ask the company's top management?"

"No, now, I'm at the top, and the board will make the same decision as me."

Sullivan slowly took out a round sign made of special material from his jacket pocket, on which was the LOGO of the Extreme Cold Company: it was also their company's fist product, the Extreme Cold Crystal.

This is the proof of the nobility of Mani City:

With this brand, it proves that this person owns the shares of this company, and if he has shares, he is a nobleman.

Sullivan held the sign and said with a smile:

"There is no need to talk nonsense, the other party's arbitrary seizure of the ships of the Extreme Cold Company has violated the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, and the crime is 'unfair competition'."

"Don't they want to talk?"

"You and I are leading the way, so let's prepare to 'talk' to them."

……

On the other hand, Qiu Wen didn't know how valuable his Mobile Fortress was.

He also couldn't imagine that his so-called application dialogue,

The second version of the closed beta ended in the demolition action that players were in full swing.

The spirit of the players sticking to their posts until the last minute before going offline is impressive.

Qiu Wen also began to prepare the content of the third edition.

However, before that, he planned to bring the eight people in his hand back to the fortress for a good reception.

On the lower level of the fortress, the former functional area of life has no breath of life at all, and it was originally a dormitory for the fortress staff, a restaurant, a gym, and a bath...... All living facilities are available, and can accommodate up to 10,000 people.

But now it's a dilapidated scene.

Qiu Wen plans to open this place to players in the third version, as a shared area for players to build and share, as they want.

Now, it's going to be used as a prison for the time being.

"Have you heard of the Rhine Empire?"

In the dim light, in the dilapidated scene.

Qiu Wen, who was three meters tall, looked down at his captives.

"Tell me everything you know."

However, these people looked at each other.

Qiu Wen pointed to the crown printed on the door, which was the national emblem of the Rhine Empire.

"Impressions?"

Finally, among these people, the leader reacted:

"Yes, I've seen it in other world fragments before!"

"World Fragments? Go on. ”

Qiu Wen stared at him and motioned for him to continue.

"I've seen this pattern in one of the world fragments of the A-15 Void Node."

"It's a small lab with a lot of crazy monsters in it."

"It's some huge animal, dogs, cows, whatever."

Qiu Wen asked:

"Don't you know what this pattern represents?"

"Uh...... Be...... It's a mark of a mysterious organization, right? My lord. ”

Qiu Wen frowned, these people all reacted like this.

This means that they may not have heard of the Rhine Empire.

Five hundred years, five hundred years, did they really forget about the Rhine Empire? A hegemon who controls an entire galaxy.

"How did you get old?"

"New Age, my lord, New Year 221, this is not the rule of Mani City, but I don't know where it came from."

"Where there is the new, there is the old, do you know what happened to the old era?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"What about the World Fragment? If they are all called 'fragments', why did the world become fragments? ”

The crowd bowed their heads and remained silent.

After a while, the man who was still in the lead said:

"My lord, they are all students, the school has trained them for two years, taught them how to operate various machines, how to fight with weapons, and then assigned them to the company, this is the first time they have stepped out of their own world fragments."

"I only came out two years earlier than them, and I sold my life for the company for two more years."

"I know that we have to go through the Void Rift to reach the Void Node, and then through the node to reach another World Fragment, but we really don't know what the World Fragment is."

Qiu Wen knew that his interrogation was over, and they didn't know anything about this group of people.

"And what else do you know?"

"My lord, this is not taught in school, and we really don't know much more."
