Free Competition Zone, Emerald Cluster, Rosende Star.
This is a resource planet located in the inner ring area of the star cluster. It was occupied by a star cluster-level civilization called "Thunder Point" early, and it was transformed into a temporary base camp for the Expedition Army.
At this moment, the leadership of the Thunder Horn Civilization Exploration Army gathered in the headquarters fortress conference room.
"Two stronghold planets in the Central Region were invaded by serial invasions and were breached by different organizations employed by the Transcendent star cluster alliance. What do you think?"
The commander-in-chief pressed his hands on the conference table, and looked around the executives with sharp eyes.
boom!
A high-level commander with a beard like a steel needle thumped the table and said angrily: "Is there still a need to discuss? Immediately organize a crusade! My troops are guarding one of the strongholds, and the entire army has been wiped out. , must fight back!"
Another tall and thin officer with a calm temperament stroked the lightning-shaped blue long horn on his head (this action is similar to a cosmic human touching a beard), and said slowly: "I think we should wait for the time being, the first is the action of the Transcendent star cluster alliance. There is a premeditated and strategic intention. Even if we grab it back, we will be attacked again. The second is that the Central Region is currently in chaos due to the attack of the Transcendent star cluster alliance. It is being converted into a private plot by the Transcendent star cluster alliance, which is too dangerous. Not suitable for rash action."
Now, the fourth phase of exploration has been completed, and each of the four star clusters in the free competition zone has a unified regional division. There are dozens or hundreds of galaxies in a star cluster. According to different positions, they are divided into outer edge area, inner ring area, middle ring area and core area from outside to inside, with a total of four layers.
At present, the main strategic goal of the Transcendent star cluster alliance is to completely control the core and central area, have a stable rear base camp, and then use space transmission methods such as star gate channels to maintain supply and transportation lines.
Although this will be surrounded by heavy siege, there is no way for the Transcendent star cluster alliance. Siege is the main goal, and guerrilla warfare is not suitable for them. No matter which part they occupy, they will be besieged.
"Then what do you say? Do you obediently send me to the base and let my people die in vain?!" The hot officer of Steel Needle Hu angrily scolded.
"Commander-in-chief?" The calm, tall and thin officer turned his head, "I should think the same as you."
The commander-in-chief heard the words, nodded slowly, and said, "I am also in favor of waiting, and the situation is still unclear."
"It's all fighting, what's still unclear?!" the hot officer shouted.
The commander-in-chief patiently said:
"In this turmoil, we are not the protagonists. The three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance are the protagonists and chess players. Although the fourth phase is called the free competition zone, those of us who came to pan for gold and occupy land just take the initiative to walk in. The pieces of the chessboard are far from determining the direction of the overall situation, so we have to wait for the three major civilizations to respond."
"So we have to count on the three major civilizations to take action for our suffering forces and fight with the Transcendent star cluster alliance?"
"Of course not, the three major civilizations will not easily end in person. After all, the principle of the free competition zone has not yet been torn apart. The Transcendent star cluster alliance has recruited so many proxy forces. On the one hand, it is to strengthen itself, and on the other hand, it also implies The rules of the game, everyone uses proxies to compete... and when the two armies start to fight formally, the situation will enter another more intense level, and now is not the time."
The calm tall and thin officer nodded: "That's right, so pawns like us are now waiting for the commander's command. When the three major civilizations respond, that is, when we choose a side and stand, then we are no longer fighting alone. There will be a lot of teammates right away."
The senior leaders of the Thunder Horn Civilization Exploration Army who were present nodded.
Although he is not willing to act as a pawn, when he chooses to enter the free competition zone, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to enter the game. This is the rule of the game formulated by the three major civilizations. Of course, there are a lot of benefits. Only if you are willing to be a chess piece can you get the benefits of Glittering World. How much you can get is still up to your ability.
Drop drop!
At this moment, a virtual screen popped up in the center of the conference table. On it was a notice issued by the three major civilizations to the entire universe. The bright title jumped into everyone's eyes:
"Supplementary Regulations on Anti-monopoly Plans Explored by Glittering World Phase 4"!
"coming!"
The commander-in-chief's eyes flashed, and he read the announcement with everyone, and they all showed the expression "as expected".
The content of this announcement can be roughly summed up in a few points. First, characterize the previous eve incident as the beginning of malicious competition and malicious monopoly, and believe that the Transcendent star cluster alliance violated the "Freedom of Exploration Regulations"; second, order the Transcendent star cluster alliance to immediately stop malicious. The act of expansion is strongly condemned on behalf of all civilizations in the universe; thirdly, if the Transcendent star cluster alliance does not repent and go its own way, they will start sanctions and redistribute the territory occupied by the Transcendent star cluster alliance.
In the appendix of the announcement, there is a plan for implementing sanctions and redistribution. The Scarlet Empire, together with the other two major civilizations, expressed their unwillingness to personally destroy the "Free Exploration Regulations", so they encouraged all forces in the free competition zone to launch a siege against the Transcendent star cluster alliance. , to give special support according to merit.
At the same time, in the site allocation plan, it is stated that the planets that various forces have seized from the Transcendent star cluster alliance will not be recovered. As for helping the Transcendent star cluster alliance, the site will be recovered as appropriate afterwards... In a word, it is to use lure and other means to draw a picture. An empty check requires all forces to attack the Transcendent star cluster alliance, and increase the difficulty of the Transcendent star cluster alliance to win over agents.
Either choose the three major civilizations, or choose the Transcendent star cluster alliance. Ordinary forces have no third way to go. If everyone wants to stay neutral and stay away from the storm, the result is that the site is gradually eroded by the Transcendent star cluster alliance. This is also the implementation of the three major civilizations. No one wants to be robbed of the results of their own exploration, and no one wants to be out of the game.
And if there is a one in ten million probability, everyone would rather give up the site than get involved in the turmoil, then the three major civilizations will send regular troops to enter the field. After overturning the Transcendent star cluster, they will not take out the site and distribute it to other forces. Justifiably Occupy down and complete "Reallocation".
As for the third-party Transcendent A Grade forces, they are an alternative existence in this turmoil. Only they have neutral capital. The three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance will also avoid the territory occupied by Transcendent A Grade forces to a certain extent.
And this is the influence brought by the establishment of the Development Federation, which is already different from the trend of the previous life, and the butterfly effect has begun to become prominent!
Of course, the premise is that many Transcendent A Grades are on the sidelines as much as possible, and the forces under their command can take the opportunity to expand, but taking advantage of the fire cannot be too much, there must be a degree.
"Insidious tactics."
The commander-in-chief slapped his horns, snorted coldly, suddenly increased the volume, and said loudly: "The time has come to organize the fleet to head towards the Central Region. We now have enough indirect allies."
Everyone suddenly stood up and gave a military salute.
"clear!"
…
On the other side, the Black Star Legion's exploration frontline base in the Emerald Star Cluster.
The outbreak of the incident on the previous night caused an uproar among the legion players. A large number of players gathered to explore the front line. The hall was filled with darkness. All the legion players with different equipment were talking and noisy.
"What are you doing? I didn't have time to go online a few days ago. Why did the world change when I came back? Are these guild alliances playing snakes?"
"The Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance is trying to unify the free competition zone. How did the Northern Front and the Pan-Business Alliance get on the line?"
"I looked at the forum, and they seem to have gotten the mainline war mission from the Transcendent star cluster."
"But we don't have related tasks. Does this main storyline have to choose the Transcendent star cluster alliance?"
"That's not necessarily. Hasn't the big brother analyzed the current situation? The three major civilizations will definitely not let it go. We in the Black Star Legion should naturally stand on the side of the three major civilizations."
Everyone was chatting and discussing. At this time, the announcement of the three major civilizations popped up on the floating screen in the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
After viewing the audience, the atmosphere became hot again.
"Haha, I just said that such a big situation cannot be a unilateral main storyline."
"So this is a faction war, and the three major civilizations and Transcendent star clusters are opponents on both sides?"
"We're going to fight a national war!"
Countless players are very excited.
But after a while, there was still no movement on the panel, and people gradually became suspicious.
"No, isn't it a faction war? Why haven't we received the relevant main quest?"
"Do you have to take the initiative to trigger it? But who do you want to trigger?"
"We are from the Legion. Maybe we have to wait for the official announcement from the Legion before we have the task?"
Just when everyone was in shock, the Philip subroutine of everyone's communicator suddenly jumped out and issued an announcement:
[Black Star Legion Battle Order]
[In view of the outbreak of the conflict between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance, the legion decided to carry out an armed crusade against the Modo civilization exploration force. For details, see the appendix "Kunde Civilization" [Collapse/Expand], and target the area occupied by the Modo civilization. When attacking, you don't have to care about affecting other Transcendent star cluster civilizations. If other forces prevent our actions, we can attack together. Expelling and killing Modo civilization is our primary strategic goal, and the affiliated organizations of the legion can act on their own without deviating from the strategy]
As soon as the announcement came out, a task popped up on the panels of all legion players at the same time to start a faction war with Modo civilization.
Except for the specific requirements, the form is no different from the main quests that the players of the Transcendent star cluster alliance get.
Seeing this, many people smiled.
"That's right, that's right. Sure enough, we have to have the main quest only after the Legion makes an announcement."
"It turns out that Modo civilization has grievances with us?"
"Hey, at first glance, you are the guy who didn't read the background story of the version update carefully. Modo civilization conspiracy to use a Kunde civilization native to Glittering World to almost wipe out the family. It's very cheap and deserves a beating."
Countless legion players were so excited that they could not wait to enter the Central Area immediately.
However, what they didn't know was that there was actually a problem with the task they triggered, and it was not the main line of the battle between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance.
The normal three major civilization vassals or Transcendent star cluster alliance mercenaries, the tasks they get will not specify which civilization they want to fight, but as long as they help their own forces expand and kill any opponent's faction, they can improve the task evaluation.
The missions that the legion players get, although the mode is the same, but the goal is simply Modo civilization.
Because of the position of the United Front, the Black Star Legion and other Transcendent A Grade forces cannot respond to the call of the Scarlet Empire and cannot take the initiative to be involved in the storm, so normally, Legion players do not have the main task of fighting between the two factions!
…
"Fortunately, bro, I am witty..."
Seeing the uniform excited reaction of the legion players in the forum, Han Xiao in the room secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As early as when the Development Federation asked all members to be neutral, Han Xiao realized that the Black Star Legion might not be able to join the main storyline of the battle between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent star cluster alliance this time. rights and must obey the collective resolution of the united front.
He guessed the follow-up influence at the time, so he deliberately left the goal of Modo civilization, which made the three major civilization and development associations feel that this was a personal hatred.
In this way, he can justifiably imitate a war mission and make legion players mistake it for the main line. Although the mission goal is more single than the real main line, the player can only accept it.
If there is no such counterfeit main line, there will inevitably be a large number of Legion players who have joined soon to be disappointed. In order to participate in the first World War, some people will definitely switch to the camp, which is beyond doubt. After his own operations, the negative impact was minimized. Although the specific tasks were different, at least it was possible to enter the national war, which was enough to meet the needs of most legion players.
At the same time, this can also be compared with other Transcendent A Grade forces. Most Transcendent A Grade camps cannot participate in the main line, but the Black Star Legion has a fake main line, which can attract some players from other camps to switch to the army. .
On the other hand, players in the previous national war period had a lot of room for freedom. To say it was good, it was vertical and horizontal, and to say it was ugly, it was to fight each other and fight indiscriminately. The main line of their imitation has a strong goal, and the final effect is integration. With the strength of tens of millions of players in the legion, concentrate resources on Modo, and have a greater chance to complete the mission of [Kunde Leader's Last Wish]!
In this way, this problem is basically solved.
"United Front, United Front..."
Han Xiao muttered twice, a little helpless.
Now the united front has become a new shackle, and it can still be maintained at present, but as this clause affects the interests of more members, problems will inevitably arise. It is estimated that the three major civilizations also have plans to drag down the unity of the Transcendent A Grade group.
To be honest, from the current point of view, he feels that the probability of the Development Federation and the three major civilizations reaching an agreement is very low, and there is a strong conflict of interest between the demands of the two sides.
As far as the association is concerned, because of the different needs, the collective resolution that has been reached is naturally not the best plan, it can only be said that it is a plan that everyone does not strongly oppose.
The Development Federation wants the three major civilizations to unconditionally lift the knowledge monopoly, and then talk about other cooperation, which is a reasonable request in the eyes of Transcendent A Grade, because their ultimate knowledge is exchanged through meritorious service, and they have paid enough for many years. I gathered the ultimate knowledge, but I was ordered not to teach it.
Only by breaking the monopoly of the three major civilizations can the shackles of the camp be lifted. In this way, the association itself spreads knowledge, so that the current and future Transcendent A Grades no longer need to work for the three major civilizations to obtain ultimate knowledge. After all, most people originally They are not citizens of the three major civilizations, and they themselves have no responsibility for dedication. In this case, someone who wants to join the three major civilizations in the future will just simply look for a backer, which is no longer necessary.
However, even if Han Xiao thinks with his toes, he knows that the probability of the three major civilizations agreeing is very small.
Unconditional? Even he himself felt like he was thinking about farting!
But as the vice president, I have the obligation to convey collective resolutions, and at the same time, I cannot make opinions on behalf of so many people, so I can only convey the meaning of the association truthfully.
According to Han Xiao's own thoughts, it is actually not bad to agree to the deal proposed by the three major civilizations, in exchange for dealing with Transcendent star clusters in exchange for their release of knowledge monopoly. However, most people disagree. First, they are unwilling to destroy the original intention. Second, they do not want to take risks and get involved in such a storm. Third, they have different positions... If the two sides have been deadlocked, Han Xiao can basically conclude that the final result is super a. The level association couldn't bear it anymore and began to teach knowledge privately, and the three major civilizations took the opportunity to attack.
"It's hard, it's hard... But luckily it's nothing to me."
Han Xiao shook his head.
The first is that he has all the ultimate knowledge, but he doesn't care so much about the monopoly of knowledge.
Secondly, he knows where the turning point of this matter is, so he doesn't care about the problems exposed now.
"When the super energy disaster or the seedlings of the World Tree appear, the existing pattern can be broken. Now is far from the time... Speaking of which, I don't know if the covenant has succeeded."
Han Xiao pouted.
Putting this idea aside for a while, he thought for a while, picked up the communicator, and dialed someone's number.
In the turmoil of the Transcendent star cluster alliance, Transcendent A Grades other than the direct line of the two sides will not intervene in the turmoil, but there will definitely be a very small number of people doing things in private, and Sorokin, who holds the thighs of the three major civilizations, must be one of them.
The interests of the two are in line, and this time they may be able to cooperate quietly and beat Modo into pigskin.
And Han Xiao already had a bold guess about Sorokin's identity.
"Just to verify..." Han Xiao secretly said.
