The other side.

Inside the Titanium Group Transport Ship.

Surrounded by the Fire Clan's guards, the Water Clan's ambassador Xinning walked quickly across the corridor towards the bridge.

Along the way, many crew members saluted the friendly Shui Clan diplomat, and Xin Ning also replied, but the response was much more hasty and perfunctory than before.

"For the sake of the best way."

"For the sake of the best way."

"For the sake of the best way."

Xinning is like an emotionless Shangshang Shan Dao belief transmission machine, expressionlessly using this common greeting of the titanium people to respond to every crew member who pays homage to him.

As he walked briskly into the bridge, the Fire Clan guards stood directly outside the bridge door to guard the only entrance.

The entire transport ship also quickly left the Tyrone Starport and quickly sailed towards the outside of the Tyrone Star Zone.

The ZFR horizon acceleration engine invented by the Tu clan, which is good at manufacturing in the titanium civilization, can only provide the ability to sail close to the speed of light, but fortunately, Xinning does not want to return directly to the home planet of the titanium empire, and this engine is completely sufficient if you only go to the colony.

"Ambassador, human ships are ready to escort you." The captain from the Wind Clan walked briskly and reported to Xinning.

"Don't let them come." Xinning shook his head.

The captain of the Wind Clan was just about to turn around and refuse the communication of the Tyrone naval patrol formation, but at this time, the nearby patrol naval formation had been drawn out of the patrol sequence to carry out the escort mission.

It was a small formation of cruisers.

Three cruisers, twelve frigates, and seven gunboats that shone in the battle of annihilation of the Comoros.

The cruiser formation approached from a distance like a blurry pixel tile, and only gradually changed to a clear ship form when it reached the vicinity.

Ambassador Xinning looked out the porthole of the ship, and the tiny emblem of the North Ship System Shipbuilding Group on the gunboat was just below the star emblem of the Tyrone Star Region and the sword emblem of the Navy.

This marked the fact that the gunboat was built by a company, and that the Tyrone Navy had purchased this type of ship.

The cruiser formation unfolds a faster-than-light force field.

The cruiser's towing beam contained the Titan transport, and the transport, along with the patrol fleet, sailed faster than the speed of light.

Everything in the stars was a blur of reflections, and the fleet crashed straight towards the starport and the stars in the galaxy, but it didn't touch them, passed through them, passed through all the obstacles in its path.

But even such a fast and convenient faster-than-light voyage is not an instant destination in the blink of an eye.

"Ambassador." The captain lightly patted Xin Ning, who was watching the scene outside the porthole, and then tilted his head slightly to the ship's communication station in the rear.

Xin Ning immediately turned around and saw the image projected on the communication station.

It shows the face of an Aether.

"For the sake of the best way." Xinning respectfully saluted the ether.

The aether didn't show any expression, sitting in his chair, playing with a bracelet of gemstones.

Then, the ether, who was directly in charge of the Water Clan's diplomats like Xinning, spoke slowly.

"It seems that you went very decisively."

"I'm relieved to see you alive."

Hearing the words of the ether, Xinning also felt relieved, because the communication of the ether could be sent to the ship, which meant that the ship was close to the edge of the colonial area of the Titanium Empire.

But it's not really a physics-based communication.

Gouvisa's eyes were covered with a layer of psionic light, and there was also a Gouvisa using psionic energy in the corner of the room where the ether on the other end of the communication was located.

"Why are you ordering me to leave quickly?" Xinning asked.

He did not receive any information other than an evacuation order.

"You asked knowingly." Aether's brow furrowed slightly.

Xinning nodded, the reason he could think of was that the discussion results of the ether meeting to discuss black ore-related matters were not very good, and there was a possibility of war, but he wanted to know the outcome of the meeting and the discussion process clearly.

Aether was clearly aware of his subordinate's thoughts.

Considering Xinning's position, role, significance, and place in the bond established between the Titanium Empire and humanity, in the end, Aether secretly made a decision.

"As a result of the discussions, we will build a mining mine on the black ore and sell the ore to humans."

Aether said it directly.

"But the last time we compromised, the Supreme Ether was dissatisfied, he thought that we had conceded too much, and this time we must learn the lesson, if we are going to give in because of the force gap, at least we should get enough compensation from humanity."

"We're going to create a sense of crisis that we're going to trade for gambling chips."

"The mobilization of the fleet to strengthen the defense of the colonial zone, the mining of black ore, the temporary closure of communication channels, these are all means of negotiation."

Speaking of which, Aether took a deep breath and brought up another thing that he really felt had status and weight.

"That mongrel from the Viola family didn't come to colonize the zone by chance, but the result of a series of complicated games, and he came here for other reasons......"

Hearing about the Viola family's mongrel, Xinning immediately realized that the person the aether was talking about was the Visionary Commander.

The Visionary was an outlier within the, he was not very happy to be under the command of the Aethers, and he established his own colony, and while no one had ever dared to say so, many realized that his actions were a bit divisive.

The Foresight will not accept the order of "you go to the colony", but the Aether has a way to let him go anywhere he wants, which is nothing more than various exchange of interests and game containment.

There are some things that cannot be solved by force.

Whatever method the aether used, the foresight came anyway, and this is the result.

"The water here is a bit deep." Xin Ning pulled the nearby chair over and sat down slowly and heavily, supporting her sore head with her hands.

When he said the depths of the water, Aether realized that he didn't need to continue explaining to this clever subordinate.

Xinning has realized that she is in the midst of a struggle between the Visionary and the Aether, and someone wants to use the series of things about the Black Ore to do something to the Vision, whether it is to warn or kill with a knife.

Even Xinning began to speculate, speculating whether this thing about black ore from the beginning to the present was just to serve a conspiracy against the foresight.

"The territory of our civilization is expanding, and our compatriots are already spread across hundreds of planets."

"But beneath this façade of prosperity is a crisis for our entire species, a crisis that could be a civil war of great proportions, a tear in the ties with the various clans."

"And the beginning of this crisis may have been just a commander from the Viola family, who felt that the guidance of the Aethers was not irresistible, and for this matter, we have a huge mission and responsibility."

Aether said as he got up and walked over to the communication device, staring at Xinning.

"Everything is for the sake of the good way."

With that, the communication was suspended.

"For the sake of the best way."

Xin Ning muttered and got up, her gaze becoming determined, and turned to look at the captain of the Wind Clan.

"Throw this into space, it's useless."

A delicate gold necklace was placed in the captain's hand.
