Staring at Troy's terrified and respectful expression, Han Xiao smiled and asked, "You mean that you were framed to the point where you are now, are you innocent?"
Troy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said bravely: "I was plotted by my political opponents, and many of the charges were placed on me."
Han Xiao let out a long sigh, noncommittal, and said, "You want to rely on me now, take refuge under my command, and let me protect you?"
Troy said cautiously: "I don't dare to ask for your protection, I just ask you to allow me to leave the central Xinghai from the Stargate with the Black Star Legion's fleet. I am now wanted by a galaxy-level civilization, and there is no one to help me. I can't borrow the star. Door."
Han Xiao shook his head and laughed, "All civilizations in the Constellation Corridor are controlled by the Empire, don't you know that I am an ally of the Empire? You are now a wanted criminal of the Empire's vassal civilization, so you take the liberty to come to me and catch you on the spot, it's good, you Still want me to take the risk and take you to Broken Starlink? If you say this casually, you want me to help you for free... Do you think I look like a philanthropist?"
"No no, you misunderstood." Troy waved his hands again and again, "Although I want to take refuge, I am also sincere to take refuge in the Black Star Legion. Your story of your rise in Broken Starlink has spread throughout the universe. I have admired you for a long time, if you Don't dislike it, I am willing to serve you in the future and be loyal to you,"
"Oh?" Han Xiao rested his elbows on the table, folded his palms on the tip of his nose, stared straight at Troy, and said slowly: "You said you were innocent, do you think I believe it? Your ambitions have failed, Wanted by civilization, you want to find me as your backer, and use my name to pay for your failure, is there such a good thing?"
In fact, this guy is not clear at all. During the years of ruling Soderian, he secretly planned a lot of conspiracies to seek greater power. After the incident was revealed, he was suppressed by civilization. Although there were some exaggerated elements of political opponents, he did not Clean, not good birds on either side.
There is nothing wrong with the process of events described by Troy, but he just changed the reason for it, deliberately concealed some of his own factors, and did not tell the whole truth. He wants to take the blame, reduce the severity of his guilt, and portray himself as a helpless image, in an attempt to reduce Han Xiao's vigilance.
However, this set is useless to Han Xiao. Sodrian is the earliest novice planet in the Constellation Corridor. There is information excavated by players. Han Xiao knows the ins and outs of the background too well, and Troy can’t hide it.
Moreover, Han Xiao checked the forum and browsed the chronicle posts recorded by the players of the Constellation Corridor, which recorded a hidden mission when Troy escaped and retreated, and arranged for people to bury high-energy explosives in the government building of the capital city of Sodrian, enough to level ten A few blocks, regardless of the casualties of staff and civilians, is very vicious, but this triggers the player's hidden mission, the trap is destroyed by the player, and Troy's backhand failed, but it also proves that this guy is not a good thing, Canthal Must report, by any means.
Under Han Xiao's gaze, Troy's face froze, and his heart was anxious. If he was not desperate, he would not go to the doctor in a hurry. He gritted his teeth, gave up his face, and slammed down at Han Xiao's feet in the interstellar general culture. , this action represents the great ritual of surrender.
"Who are you, who dares to deceive you! I didn't express it clearly, which caused your misunderstanding. I apologize to you, I hope you save my life, and I am willing to serve you forever."
Han Xiao secretly pouted, knowing what Troy was thinking, it was nothing more than committing a crime and desperate, just as the legion was recruiting people, so he wanted to come and take refuge, trying to hide the sky and the sea, and if he failed, he wanted to find a backer to help bear the consequences. There's nothing so cheap.
Dare to hit him on the head, if it weren't for Troy's special role, he would have had Troy captured for a bounty and sent to the door for a money bag, don't give up.
Han Xiao stood up and glanced down at the back of Troy's head, "I don't need your service, let alone your gratitude, I'm too lazy to catch you, just pretend I haven't seen you, and immediately disappear from my eyes, don't let me See, otherwise..."
brush! The door slid open, and Hela walked in, staring at Troy coldly, telling him to get out.
Troy's face was pressed to the ground, and he couldn't see his expression clearly. After two seconds, he got up and patted the hem of his clothes, as if he wanted to dust off the dust that didn't exist. Looking at the ground, he didn't dare to look up at Han Xiao's eyes. Under Hela's sharp gaze, he was silent, clenched his fists, walked out of the room step by step, and was escorted away from the branch satellite.
After he left, Han Xiao's face relaxed, revealing an inexplicable smile.
"I don't know if this step will come in handy..."
Deliberately letting Troy leave, Great Technician Han has no purpose. As one of the mainline NPCs of the novice planet, Troy still has a plot on his body. According to the development of the previous life, Troy escaped with a near-death experience, and finally escaped from the pursuit in a thrilling manner.
Because he was wanted, he fled into the border of the central Xinghai, survived in it, and was later absorbed by the Ark of the Fallen and became a member of Ability God, not even a cadre. But because it used to be a novice planet mainline npc, it was noticed by the player and recorded this information.
Important NPCs in the early stage became ordinary characters in the later stage, and were regarded as easter eggs by the players, so Han Xiao remembered what happened to Troy.
Therefore, before Han Xiao let Troy go, he quietly gave him an eye.
Ability God is immune to the observation mark, and Troy comes to the door, which makes Han Xiao have an idea. If Troy joins the Ark of the Fallen as usual, then he can monitor the actions of Ability God by the way.
Although I don't know if this moving eye position will take effect and when it will take effect, since it is a casual chess move, Han Xiao is just trying it out. After all, there is no good way to target Ability God now. Neither success nor loss.
…
Forty days passed in a flash.
Han Xiao has been sitting in Gilman Star, waiting for the branch to recruit people. During this period, he was not idle. He was expanding the mechanical army every day, and using the new ultimate knowledge, he slowly transformed the mechanical life, led by the ancestors, The first generation of mechanical life under his command reached 3,000...
It's not that he doesn't want to get a few more, there are several reasons. First, the cooldown of [Master of the King] is a bit long, measured in days, and this is a prerequisite skill for using [Tinder Awakening].
Second, although [Fire Awakening] can be cast in groups, the maximum number of targets that can be cast in groups is not many, and the skill can only be used at most for a dozen targets at a time when the skill is upgraded to full level. Moreover, he found that the initial level of mechanical life that received group casting is not as high as that of single-casting mechanical life. Single and group use the same skill consumption. If it is shared with more targets, the energy received by a single person will be less.
The third is... using it too often, his kidneys can't stand it...
This also strengthened Han Xiao's idea of developing mechanical civilization. Using [Tinder Awakening] alone, the efficiency of creating mechanical life is not high. His blood return to blue is fast, but his stamina needs to be rested to recover, and the formed mechanical civilization can explode troops on its own.
In the past forty days, the recruitment of the Gilman Star branch has finally settled.
There are many Transcendent A Grade forces in the Central Star Sea, and the Black Star Legion’s appeal here is not as high as that of Broken Starlink. The Gilman Star Branch has recruited only more than 10 million new members during this period, and the growth rate is gradually slowing down. tends to be saturated. Compared to the Transcendent A Grade forces in the Central Star Sea, this is a small scale, and the branch has just started.
Among them, there are more than 4 million new players, accounting for about 85% of the total number of players in the Constellation Corridor. Through legion benefits and word of mouth on the forum, most of the Constellation Corridor players came from the surrounding galaxies to join.
Among these more than four million players, most of them choose to become members of the mercenary department of the legion. There are two types of legion members: one is the backbone, who obeys the legion's orders, and the other is a half-organized member who works for the legion but is free to hire. Soldiers are typical of the latter.
The mercenary system is already loose, and the mercenary department retained by the legion does not violate the rules of interstellar mercenaries, and most of the players in the constellation corridor are just rushing for welfare benefits. It is more free for them to be mercenaries and serve the legion. Do things in exchange for resources, the relationship is simple, and will not be completely bound by the camp.
In this regard, Han Xiao is not surprised. Other Starfield players have not been getting along with the Legion for a long time, and the relationship must be slowly cultivated.
He gave Constellation Corridor players plenty of time to make choices. Among the more than 4 million player members, 700,000 accepted the Glittering World mainline and applied to follow the Legion to Broken Starlink.
Among the 700,000 people, most of them are ordinary players, and there is a factor of club guild mobilization, while the remaining millions of players decided to stay in the star field where they were born to continue exploring, and watch the situation of these cross-star players by the way.
In the first batch, 700,000 leeks were dug up, and Han Xiao was quite satisfied with this number.
Today is the day of departure. A huge Black Star Legion transport fleet is ready to go, and 700,000 players have already boarded.
At this moment, players in various star domains are following the trends here through the forum's rebroadcast posts.
The first case of cross-star field, every player is interested, maybe it can be used as a reference for their future cross-star field, so this has become the most popular action in the history of Black Star Legion, which has been set off in the player group. The popularity broke the previous record!
On a transport ship, many players whispered and were excited.
"I don't know what it feels like to cross a star field, and what's the difference between it and an ordinary star gate."
"It's going to leave, I'm still a little reluctant. I don't know when I'll be back."
"Will the Broken Starlink players bully us?"
"You said, if you jump out of the spaceship when you cross the star field, will something fun happen..."
"Guard! It's this guy!"
In the bridge command room of the main ship, Hela stood with her arms folded against the wall, Aurora sat in the main driver's seat and operated non-stop, and Fording looked down beside her with her head lowered.
Hardaway sat on the sofa, holding a blue crystal cube wine bottle in his hand, swaying the mercury-silver liquor in the bottle, gulping heroically into his mouth, his face flushed with choking. The table is the Wayne poker game. The rules are who loses and drinks. There is a pile of empty bottles at his feet. The old man Aesop who was pulled over with a helpless expression was sitting in the opponent's position. Like drinking.
Emersy stood in front of the viewing window with her hands behind her back, and looked at the surrounding fleet. She was accompanied by close people such as Han Xiao, Hela, and Aesop for more than a month. She was quite comfortable here on vacation.
Han Xiao stood in front of the star map, the target location was set early, and when everyone was on board, he immediately sent orders to the fleet.
"Set off."
rumbling
The propellers spewed tail flames, and the battleships took off.
"Finally set off!" Many players on the ship were refreshed, and countless people who followed on the forum also widened their eyes.
The fleet slowly left the Gilman Star branch and began to accelerate, carrying 700,000 uprooted leeks, heading for Broken Starlink.
