In the end, the main reason why Fang Chen decided to join the Ember team as soon as possible was that he learned that he had to pay as much as 20% tax for trading in the territory of the Holy Judgment Legion without a team.

If he were to switch to a small team like Ember that had a good relationship with the Holy Judgment Legion, he would only have to pay 10% tax, which prompted him to decide to join the team.

Anyway, I decided to join a team, so I didn't have to twist and turn.

After contacting Zhou Shaohang and explaining his intentions, Zhou Shaohang was in the Star Fortress at this time, and he was very happy to pick him up in person and go to the team's office in the Star Fortress of Divine Judgment.

The office itself was responsible for recruiting people here, and Zhou Shaohang personally took him through the process, and he joined the Ember Guild in less than half an hour.

Yes, small groups like this are usually guilds, and large forces call themselves legions.

Of course, this legion is not a real legion, the real legion master is the star sea master, an existence recognized by the will of the universe, has entered the house, can be recognized in any civilization in the universe, and has a certain political status.

The Ember Guild is a medium-sized force that has established a starport in a galaxy southeast of the Divine Judgment, radiating more than a dozen Zhong'an systems around it.

The total number of guilds is only five or six hundred, with three fleets and twelve independent squadrons, Zhou Shaohang is the squadron leader of the seventh independent squadron and the leader of the first squad.

The three fleets are controlled by the guild triumvirate, namely the president, who is the military chief, who controls the first fleet, the vice president, the chief executive, who controls the second fleet, and the vice president, the chief of industry, who controls the third fleet.

In the new universe, whether it is a guild or a legion, the internal power structure is basically the same, the triumvirate system.

The status of the Big Three is not different, they are:

The chief executive who is in charge of the internal administration and personnel of the team is equivalent to the CEO.

The military chief who controls the military power of the team.

The chief industrial officer who has mastered the economic and industrial strength of the team.

The strength of the Ember Guild is there, the total number of official members is five or six hundred, and the three major fleets are said to be fleets, but in fact, the strength is just like that, and the combined strength of the entire guild may not be enough for an independent squadron of the divine ruling.

After Fang Chen joined the guild, Zhou Shaohang immediately exchanged his previous recruitment promise and gave him the position of a team leader.

The captain of the fifth squad, but he is alone in the team now, and he wants to expand himself to pull people outside.

Fang Chen has no complaints about this, because this is a normal operation, most of the newcomers to the team will become the leader as soon as they come in, and they will not match you with some subordinates unless they are related households, otherwise they will not match you with subordinates, and most of them go outside to pull people outside.

Fang Chen didn't think about pulling people for the time being, he just wanted to find a shelter and less tax to facilitate his next actions when he joined the Ember team.

At this stage, it's better to mix alone.

After joining the team, after waiting for two days, Zhou Shaohang took Fang Chen out of the Divine Judgment after taking care of the matter, and jumped all the way to the southeast, spanning a distance of more than six hundred light years, and came to the headquarters of the Ember Guild, a galaxy that they named Ember.

This is a typical mining galaxy with two asteroid belts and a class B blue star in the center.

I heard Zhou Shaohang say that it was in this star system that the Ember Guild discovered a mineral deposit, and after it started to develop, it established a starport as its headquarters based on this galaxy.

The guild monopolized the mine, and a steady stream of income supported the guild's growth until now.

However, now the development of the guild has entered a bottleneck, because this mineral deposit can only support the development of the guild to this point, and if you want to go further, you need more resources, but the high-quality resources in the nearby star field that are enough for the guild to go further have been occupied by other guild teams.

If you want to expand, you must defeat nearby guilds and seize these resource lands.

This is the reason for the many team disputes in the development star field, the territory and resources are limited, and if you want to develop and grow, you must expand the territory, which can only be forcibly seized by defeating other guilds by force.

The Ember team now has five teams of similar strength, and three of them are perennially hostile, one neutral and one allied.

And these five have different neighbors and different relationships, forming a fragile balance.

At this stage, there is no war in the guild for the time being, and guild members do not need to stay in the headquarters all the time, they can go outside to explore, or they can go to the Divine Judgment System to do various tasks, they just need to report.

Although there are three rival guilds, they also have different enemies, and hostility does not mean that there will be wars every day.

Fang Chen walked around the guild for a while, stayed for a week to familiarize himself with the guild, and then returned to the Divine Judgment System.

He had to come back and pull out the batch of mining ships in the universe in his palm, pretending to buy them from here, and then pull them back to the guild and find a suitable galaxy to mine in his sphere of influence.

As for the original plan, he was going to try it again when he was more prepared after a while.

The dungeon is only accessible to frigates, with a maximum of ten, and he now has eight frigates, and two less is too much of a loss.

Back at the guild station, Fang Chen pulled five large mining ships and two small mining ships to a galaxy that was only four jumps away from the headquarters to mine.

This galaxy belongs to the mining galaxy of the Seventh Independent Squadron, and it also belongs to the garrison galaxy of the Seventh Independent Squadron, although Fang Chen is the commander of the light pole, he is also a member of the Seventh Independent Squadron, and he is qualified to mine here.

He didn't have much time to stay here to mine, and was going to entrust the mining ship directly to the mining department of the guild's full-time mining.

This is also one of the team benefits, all the regular combatants have a special person to take care of the logistics, and the mining ship has a special person to help take care of it, so that they can free up their hands to do other things.

The mining fleet was sent over, and when I passed the outpost in the center of the galaxy, I saw a large fleet moored next to the outpost space station, which contained 7 cruisers, 22 destroyers, 96 frigates, and 15 large and medium-sized industrial ships.

As soon as he handed over the mining ship, he received a communication from Zhou Shaohang:

"Brother is free now, I'll take you to play something exciting."

Fang Chenqi said:

"Now that I'm free, what's the excitement of playing?"

"Isn't there three rival guilds in our guild, I'm going to bring some people over to harvest a wave, do you want to go?"

Fang Chen immediately understood.

The so-called harvest refers to the destruction and robbery in the hostile sphere of influence.

When there is no full-scale battle between teams, it is generally used to fight opponents in this way.

I am very interested in this Fang Chen, and I should go immediately:

"Count me in."

Zhou Wenhan immediately put up a big slap finger:

"Happy!"

The rest of the 7th Squadron in the channel also smiled.

Participating in team activities together is one of the fastest ways to integrate into a team.
