Glittering World, Emerald Cluster, Black Star Legion Branch.
Hundreds of ships are docked in the silver-white airport dock, colorful and of different models, from which groups of crew members who obviously do not belong to the legion. They stepped onto the platform, looked around curiously, and formed loose columns under the command of heavily armed Legionnaires, chattering and discussing.
"I've finally reached the place. It is indeed the base of the Black Star Legion. It is well-defended at first sight."
"Haha, my resume was screened four times and finally passed the review. We will also be members of the Black Star Legion in the future."
"I hope I can go to a position with high benefits..."
"I don't know if I can see Black Star this time. As usual, every new batch of newcomers has to go through the ceremony of joining the regiment. The regiment commander should meet with us, right? Even his clone is fine."
Everyone's faces are more or less excited, and these people are all interstellar mercenaries who have passed the application.
Today, the Black Star Legion’s sphere of influence spreads across multiple star fields, and various businesses have brought abundant capital flows, so the Legion has been recruiting new people, especially after Han Xiao was hired as a senior consultant for the three major civilizations, the strength of the recruitment reached a new peak.
After many years of operation by Han Xiao, the legion has an irreplaceable influence in the universe. According to market research, if the free power user who is involved in the interstellar society must join a faction, 41.3% of the people list the Black Star Legion as their first choice. , and even overwhelmed the three major civilizations.
By analogy, the status of the Black Star Legion is roughly equivalent to that of the top-ranked high-quality companies in the "Fortune 500", and the potential is still being realized, with great prospects.
While everyone was discussing excitedly, a legion spaceship entered the VIP track of the airport, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. I saw two emblems on the outer armor of the ship, one was the legion's logo, and the other was The red snake emblem with a dark red background, this is the separate logo of Hela.
With a snort, the hatch opened, and a group of female armed men wearing red light armor walked out neatly, guarding on both sides of the gangway. The logo on the chest armor represented that they were an elite battle group under Hela's command, and the number was "Three-Headed Snake Ranger". .
As the deputy commander of the army, Hela has a lot of authority in his hands. He has formed a private guard team and recruited some guards like Han Xiao.
tao tao…
The leather shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, and Hela walked out of the hatch.
She wears a pair of red sunglasses on the bridge of her tall nose, silver earrings in the shape of snakes, and a gorgeous red uniform similar to a lady's suit, with gold threads on the edges, and a black and gold high-necked cape on her shoulders. The collar of the cape is a circle of red fluff, and the whole person is full of popularity.
Everyone's eyes focused on her, and many people showed admiration on their faces, even the legionnaires around them.
"She is the second-in-command of the Legion, the goddess of death Hela, her aura is really strong..."
"It would be great if I could work under her command." Someone looked longing.
"Only the elites of the legion are eligible to be selected as the top guards, not even us. Are you thinking of shit?" The legion soldier on the side hummed.
At this moment, Hela came to the front of the crowd with her personal guard and glanced at the people present. The powerful aura of her own filled the air, and the commotion in the crowd gradually stopped. The excited people only felt a sense of oppression welling up in their hearts. Dare to speak.
Seeing this, Hela lightly opened her red lips and said in a cold voice:
"Recently, the legion commander is away. I will preside over your joining ceremony. My time is very precious. I will skip those welcome steps and test my strength directly. The legion speaks with strength. So try to stand in front of me as long as possible."
After speaking in one breath, Hela was too lazy to explain to everyone, and directly released her own high pressure and swept the audience.
Before many people in the room could react, they felt a sense of terror strike, the pressure penetrated through the body and soul, the whole body was trembling, and they would fall to the ground softly at any time.
plop plop
Groups of people couldn't bear the pressure of Hela's high position, and fell down with a clatter. The longest they lasted was more than 30 seconds.
Seeing this, Hela took back her pressure, looked at her watch, and said lightly: "People who stand in the top 10% of the time can take the position of team captain. As for the others, Philip will automatically assign positions based on your performance just now, and join the job immediately. , dismiss the meeting."
After she finished speaking, she didn't look at the crowd who fell softly to the ground, and turned around and entered the base with her personal guard.
Generally speaking, the joining ceremony of newcomers will introduce the history of the legion and cultivate a sense of belonging. Hela does not have this leisurely heart.
Halfway down the road, Hela took out the communicator, called out Philip, and asked with a frown:
"Can you contact Black Star?"
"Can't hum..." Philip lowered his head and pointed his fingers in guilt.
"Where did this guy go? He lost contact for several months!"
Hela's face was gloomy and uncertain.
She knew that Han Xiao went to the secondary dimension world, and it was inconvenient to contact, but even so, Han Xiao and Philip's main program would not disconnect the link.
However, just a few months ago, Philip said that Han Xiao had completely lost contact and could not be contacted in any way. Hela suddenly became vigilant, and couldn’t help thinking of the covenant organization he encountered in the secondary dimension.
Could it be that the commander of the army was besieged by a conspiracy
Hmm... it doesn't seem surprising at all.
In order not to cause turmoil in the legion and suspicion from the outside world, she asked Philip to block the news, maintaining the operation of the legion on the surface, and secretly investing resources behind it to quietly inquire about the trail of Black Star.
Han Xiao is the soul of the legion. As soon as he lost contact, the legion was suddenly much weaker in terms of Transcendent A Grade. Hela could only temporarily pick up the burden, terminate the training, return from the underworld, and sit in the legion.
No news was found for several months, and Hela was secretly anxious.
She has decided that if there is still no information after three months, she will call Emersy and enter the secondary dimension world to find Han Xiao.
Suddenly, Hela took a step and showed a strange look on her face.
"You stand by, I have to leave beforehand."
Throwing down these words, her figure suddenly disappeared, leaving the guards looking at each other on the spot.
…
at the same time.
Hela's figure appeared in the dimension of the underworld, and the land woman Aoni Selu appeared.
"What are you calling me for?"
"I found a group of weird creatures approaching the underworld. They seem to be cosmic creatures living in space storms. You know, monsters born in this environment are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid they feed on secondary dimensions. species." Oniselu expressed her concerns.
Hela frowned slightly. She is now both prosperous and prosperous with Netherland, and protecting Netherland is her duty.
"I'll fight them back."
She jumped up, turned into a red meteor, and quickly flew out of the space wall following Oniselu's instructions, but did not move away, just stayed in the direction of the enemy's advance, waiting for the rabbit.
The dimensional energy of the underworld forms a spherical light film on Hela, which provides defense and prevents her from being swept away by spatial turbulence.
After waiting for a long time, a vortex wormhole suddenly appeared in the space storm, and the huge number of air lice surged out, and the number was extremely alarming.
"So much?!" Hela subconsciously clenched her fists.
She has also been in the secondary dimension world, and she knows that there are some dangers here that can threaten the lives of Transcendent A Grade. Although she has never seen empty lice, she instinctively feels the threat, proving that this group of monsters cannot be killed casually.
Although Hela is not worried about her life safety, but there are too many monsters, she is only one person, and she can't guarantee that she can protect the entire Netherland.
"If only Black Star was here..."
Facing this situation, Hela couldn't help but miss Han Xiao's mechanical army.
"It's up to me now."
Hela raised her strength and prepared to strike first.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her mecha communication channel, causing her movements to freeze in place.
"Hella?"
In the empty lice group, Han Xiao, who was driving this group of cute little ones, sensed the energy fluctuations of Hela, turned his head and looked over, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The next moment, his figure flashed, and Void Transition appeared in front of Hela, and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a while, do you miss me?"
"Think..." Hela subconsciously wanted to speak, but she suddenly came back to her senses and said in surprise, "Why are you here? Where have you been during this time?"
"I went for a walk in the depths of the secondary dimension world, where the signal is not good, see these little cuties, this is my trophy, I plan to keep them around the underworld, just to act as a layer of defense, their The combat power is very impressive…”
Han Xiao rambled on and introduced it, pretending not to see Hela's performance several times.
After being out of contact for several months, he knew that it would definitely cause Hela's doubts and worries, but he didn't plan to reveal the experience of this trip for the time being, so he decided to hide the truth and prevaricate the past.
After listening for a while, Hela couldn't help interrupting Han Xiao's words and asked: "Do you know the impact of your loss of contact on us? If I hadn't blocked the news, there must be people in the army now floating..."
Han Xiao snorted, "You are the deputy commander, you are still there when I'm not here, there is no trouble, I believe in you."
Hearing this, Hela's expression looked a lot better.
She vaguely felt that Han Xiao was hiding something from her, but she didn't want to ask more if they didn't say it. The most important thing was when people came back.
Hela didn't ask any further, just ordered "Don't do this next time", and then turned to look at the group of willful-looking empty lice, curious:
"When these creatures are united, their combat power can really be comparable to the peak Transcendent A Grade?"
"The attack power is a little worse, but the resistance can definitely reach this level. They feed on spatial turbulence. Not only will they not attack the secondary dimension, but they will also provide protection. They like the environment around the secondary dimension and usually settle down. Come down and use it as a nest and attack all outsiders." Han Xiao nodded.
After catching a batch of empty lice, he separated from Kesuye and went home. After doing some research on the way, he had already figured out some of the habits of empty lice, which can coexist harmoniously with the secondary dimension, which is very suitable for guarding the family. Guards, placed in the underworld can improve the security here.
"Well, as long as there is no danger, keep them here, I have no problem."
Hela nodded and agreed. After thinking about it, she said, "The teacher came to you three times, but I blocked them all back. Remember to talk to her."
"Well." Han Xiao responded and asked, "By the way, how was the association when I was away?"
"It's the same, nothing has changed, it's just that without the quarrel between you and Manison, everyone feels that the meeting is boring, and it's basically all deserting."
"These hanged men will only count on me to revive..."
Han Xiao's mouth twitched.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these Transcendent A Grades are aloof, awe-inspiring and not to be offended, but in his eyes, this is a group of sullen guys.
After a few words of greeting, he rejected Hela's invitation to ask for abuse, threw the empty lice in the underworld, and then directly used the emperor to teleport back to the Legion's base camp in the Glittering Star Cluster.
…
As soon as his eyes flashed, Han Xiao returned to the legion office and saw Silvia sitting in his seat with Erlang's legs crossed.
Suddenly there were more people in the room, and Silvia was startled, but after seeing that it was Han Xiao, she calmed down, her eyes moved, not only did she not get up, but she deliberately put a pair of long legs on the table, hum With a sound, Yin Yang said in a strange way:
"Yo, isn't this Lord Black Star, you still know how to come back? I thought you had forgotten us."
Han Xiao didn't care, walked to Silvia, smiled and touched Silvia's dog head, felt the volume of hair, and smiled:
"Well, it seems that you have worked hard and hard these past few months."
"Fuck off." Silvia patted Han Xiao's hand, got up and moved away, and said angrily: "I haven't been able to contact you in the past few months, and there is a backlog of things waiting for your instructions. Hurry up, I'll wait. Want it."
After she finished speaking, she was too lazy to care about Han Xiao, she turned her head and was about to leave. When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, then turned back, took away the coat on the back of the chair and the gold wire glasses on the table, and by the way, whitened Han Xiao. At a glance, he opened the door and left.
"Tsk, the resentment is really not small."
Han Xiao pouted, naturally he would not care about the bald little baby at home.
This trip has been a huge harvest. He has learned a lot of the secrets of the universe and greatly expanded his knowledge. For him, returning to the explored universe feels like a lifetime. But in the eyes of the legion cadres, it's only been a few months since he hadn't seen him. Except for a few people, the others were not at all curious about where he went.
Han Xiao reconnected with Philip and encrypted and stored all the information recorded in this trip.
This technical treasure is too rich, even for a peak Transcendent A Grade like him, the digestion time is in units of ten years, and it will not be finished in a while. Although awakening points and experience points can speed up the research progress, it is somewhat wasteful to use them. After all, it is difficult to supplement before the next version arrives. It is not far from the 4.0 version update. He has time to digest it slowly. He is not in a hurry to ask for it. to make.
He found a housework robot, sprayed air freshener in the room, and dispelled the elegant body fragrance left by Silvia. Then he sat back to his seat, and while dealing with the backlog of affairs, he logged in to the forum to check the players' updates.
A few months later, the fourth professional league has entered the international competition circle and reached the quarter-finals. This time, Huaxia has two teams qualifying, one is the most stable Dynasty team among the giants, and the other is Jiangcheng.
After three leagues, Jiangcheng is no longer a cutting-edge dark horse, but a stable and powerful team.
The international group stage that has ended is the most dangerous schedule, and the crazy sniping of China by clubs from various countries is still effective. As a result, this time, there are one less China team in the top eight than the previous one.
But looking at it from another angle, clubs from all over the world spared no effort to stop them. Even if some teams did not want to score points, they would have to fight against the Huaxia team.
Now the hopes of the whole village rest on Dynasty and Jiangcheng. As long as any team wins the championship, they can achieve the achievement of China's three consecutive championships. No other team in the quarter-finals wants to see this result. However, in the quarter-finals, it was a dignified battle, and it was impossible to encircle and suppress it in many ways like the group stage. Those Tian Ji horse racing tactics and some small tricks were useless, and they could only rely on hard power.
"At the quarter-finals, it's not far from the end of the league. There are at most two months left for version 4.0... I have to prepare."
Han Xiao secretly said.
