Old Galaxy, Modo Civilization, Three Kings.
"... The recent assassination cases of officials have caused extremely bad effects on society. The identity of the murderers is unknown, but judging from multiple clues, there is a shadow of the Scarlet Empire behind these incidents. Obviously, Maddie failed, and his methods did not work. can hide the empire."
In the Cabinet of Ministers, an important meeting was underway. Many ministers gathered to discuss recent events, and everyone's expressions were ugly.
The serial assassination cases of officials have affected social stability, made countless citizens of Modo panic, and the entire ruling class also has a dull face.
Their own safety was threatened, and these high-ranking ministers were all furious.
"Too arrogant! Does the empire really regard us as those low-level civilizations that are powerless to resist?! If we join forces with other superstar cluster-level civilizations of the old Xinghe to become independent, let this star field break away from the rule of the three major civilizations, and see how he ends. !" A grumpy military minister scowled and slapped the table vigorously.
"It's better to say less of this kind of angry words." Someone reminded.
Others present did not take it seriously. Although all Transcendent star cluster-level civilizations have long held grudges against the three major civilizations and do not want to replace them all the time, there is no way out for independence. Unless they are sure, no one will support them.
After venting for a while, everyone returned to the topic and discussed how to deal with it.
"No matter what, we must prevent more assassination cases from happening first, but we can't negotiate with the empire to be soft, there is nothing to say to them, they must want to take the accusation of using the natives and let us compensate for the loss of the war between the empire and the natives, dream! "
"Yes, it is claimed that the incident has nothing to do with us. If the empire comes up with evidence, then biting to death is a forgery."
"Also, to determine that the Empire has no basis for assassinating our officials, apply to the Civilization Council to sanction this underhanded method, Guanghui and Ethereal should be on our side, and we can win more Transcendent star clusters. high-level civilization, the universe is not his empire."
Some people shook their heads, not optimistic about this plan, "Glittering World is about to open to the outside world, it is estimated that few people want to tear their faces with the empire."
"Then what should we do? We can't let the empire murder our cadres."
"Hmph, just retaliate. He assassinated our officials, and we also assassinated their officers, as if no one had a power user."
Someone couldn't help but object and said, "The people who assassinated the empire? Did you forget the incident of the death of the peak?"
Hearing this, anger appeared on most people's faces.
This humiliating history thousands of years ago, they have not forgotten that the Transcendent A Grade of the three major civilizations hurt each other, because of the heavy damage, worried about losing the strategic advantage of personal power, so made up an unwarranted charge, including Modo civilization. All the Transcendent A Grade allies of the Transcendent star cluster grade civilization, including them, were slaughtered and then walked away.
This move not only hurt the superstar cluster-level civilization at that time in terms of personal power, but also left a long-term negative impact. Later, many Transcendent A-levels worried about their personal safety and dared not accept the superstar cluster-level win. The three major civilizations used this. Taking more Transcendent A Grades into their own hands is almost a no-brainer for them.
Therefore, Modo civilization knows that people can assassinate their people as revenge and warning, and once they assassinate each other, they are provoking the ruling power of the three major civilizations, which will lead to blood and blood, and Guanghui and Voidling will no longer watch the show. Join the Empire together to deal with Modo. In terms of maintaining the ruling authority, the three major civilizations urinated in a pot.
They have already experienced this kind of hooliganism many times, and they have swallowed their voices again and again, and they have already accumulated deep resentments.
"Don't go too far, the assassination incident is actually just a trivial matter, the empire has a sense of proportion, they dare not push us... But we can't do it if we don't fight back, we must also pay attention to the strength of the counterattack. The empire itself can't move, it can only take a step back and get Their ally forces... Well, it's just limited to forces, don't kill Transcendent A Grade."
"I think Beoni is very suitable. His power is rooted in the old galaxy, and it is very easy to deal with him. This can also show our attitude."
In a few words, everyone decided Beoni's bad luck for a while in the future.
For Transcendent star cluster grade civilization, unless it is Tool Nation Manison, Void Lord Kesuye, Black Star Han Xiao and the like, the general Transcendent A Grade is really nothing in their eyes. Star cluster level can kill Transcendent A Grade, let alone Transcendent star cluster level civilization.
The Empire let people assassinate our officials, and this revenge must be avenged.
As for the fact that we were conspiring in the beginning to cause the empire to suffer losses from the war, the reason for the loss comes first...
So what, isn't that our purpose
Everyone is a hooligan, don't talk about anyone.
At this time, someone worried:
"These are small things. What I care about is that the empire will restrict our future access to Glittering World because of this."
"What are you afraid of, Glittering World will open to the outside world sooner or later, even the empire can't stop this trend, if they specifically prohibit us from entering, then we will make trouble! Not only us, other Transcendent star cluster grade civilizations will definitely stand on our side and see his empire. Can't stand the pressure!"
Modo civilization is not worried about offending the empire and losing the opportunity to enter Glittering World.
All Transcendent star cluster grade civilizations know in their hearts that even if Glittering World is opened, the three major civilizations will definitely suppress their development, so they have formed a strategic alliance in private and decided to join forces to break the game.
Glittering World is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Transcendent star cluster-level civilizations are willing to unite for this.
Even if only the Modo family is suppressed in Glittering World, other Transcendent star cluster-level civilizations will also come forward to support. Although everyone does not like to help competitors, in contrast, it is more important to join forces to break the blockade of the three major civilizations. On this issue Above, Transcendent star cluster-level civilization understands the truth that lips are dead and teeth are cold, and they will not be divided by others.
Besides, the empire is now lacking in skills, and can only use the painless means of assassination as a warning. Modo civilization discovered this, it is really not very false, secretly gearing up, just waiting for Glittering World to open up and do it. field.
Transcendent star cluster-level civilizations have the confidence to compete with the three major civilizations. After all, they are different from star cluster-level civilizations. They have no room to curry favor with the three major civilizations.
Only fight, only grab.
…
At the headquarters of the Infinite Consortium, Tool Nation Manison, Void Lord Kesuye, and Beast Ancestor Gorutan once again visited Sorokin.
"I don't know what the three of you have to do with me today?"
In the bright and clean office of the head of the consortium, the four of them sat in a circle, and Sorokin glanced at the three with a faint smile.
"Do you still remember our deal?" Gorutan said in a stern voice.
"Of course, I am in charge of commercial competition with Black Star Legion, squeezing their business space, exerting external pressure, and helping you plot the evolutionary totem." Sorokin said casually.
Kesuye opened his mouth with an ethereal voice, "However, your achievements over the years don't seem to be very good."
The Black Star Legion withstood the pressure of the Infinite Consortium and did not achieve the expected effect, which made the forces behind the three people not satisfied. The three of Manison came to be held accountable on behalf of the forces behind them today.
"Haha." Sorokin didn't care, and said slowly: "I said that the Black Star Legion is not so easy to deal with."
"We want you to step up."
"No problem." Sorokin smiled lightly, "But, I showed my sincerity, now it's your turn."
If you want the horse to run, let the horse graze first. The three understand that Sorokin is asking the forces behind them to fulfill some of their original cooperation commitments, otherwise don't come to comment.
Manison said slowly: "It's not a big problem. Those resource support, preferential policies, and deep-level cooperation projects will be implemented soon."
"Then I'll wait." Sorokin smiled, "Exactly, my next plan also needs to wait for the opportunity."
"What plan?" Gorutan asked.
Sorokin cleared his throat and said slowly:
"After several years of competition, Black Star Legion and I have been deadlocked, and it is difficult to open new breakthroughs in Broken Starlink. So I aimed at Glittering World, which is the new development focus of Black Star Legion."
"I have insider information. The Empire will open the Glittering World to the outside world during the fourth phase of exploration. At that time, it will be a carnival of the whole universe. Countless forces will pour in, and a new pattern will be formed, especially in the business sector, where countless consortiums are waiting. To seize the market, this is also my opportunity.”
He has long been eyeing the development of Glittering World, waiting for the Infinite Consortium to enter and seize the market, and then he can use economic means to exert pressure on the territory of the Black Star Legion.
When the legion got the benefits of the territory, it had to bear the responsibility and risk of management. Sorokin wanted to open up a new battlefield in another base camp of the legion.
The resource output, demand, and circulation in the territory are huge markets, and the Infinite Consortium has a way to use its wealth to seize market share and squeeze out the living space of other normal companies in the Black Star territory.
At that time, whether it is to remotely control some interstellar enterprises, thereby affecting the efficiency of resource circulation, or to use trade means to add obstacles to the economic construction of the Black Star Territory, or to build smuggling and intelligence channels in the Black Star Territory around the markets of different industries. It can bring more pressure to the Black Star Legion, and these are the methods familiar to the Infinite Consortium.
Of course, Sorokin's main goal is to allow the Infinite Consortium to expand and develop.
Compared with the benefits of Glittering World, the cost of suppressing Black Star Legion is not worth mentioning in his eyes.
…
The small friction between the Scarlet Empire and the Modo civilization did not evolve into a more serious conflict under the restraint of the two sides, and did not have much impact on the environment of the peaceful development of the entire universe.
The main theme of the era of exploration and expansion affects all aspects. Most civilizations and civil forces are keeping their own feet. They have been paying attention to the development progress of Glittering World, and silently preparing human and material resources for the opening of Glittering World one day in the future.
Affected by the general environment, the Xinghai pattern has maintained a calm state, and there are occasional petty troubles, but it is harmless.
In this environment, the second phase of the empire's exploration was successfully completed, and the third phase of exploration followed. The empire used this as a bargaining chip to sign more allies and vassals, so that the troops in the third phase of exploration grew again.
In times of peace, the pace of time seems to have become more silent, as if looking back, only to realize that year after year has passed.
Without too many twists and turns, the empire completed its goal as scheduled, and the third phase of exploration came to an end smoothly.
On July 15, 729 in the Xinghai calendar, the Scarlet Empire finally issued a long-awaited decree:
- The fourth phase of exploration soon, Glittering World, is officially open to the public!
Like detonating a psionic bomb
The universe, which had been quiet for more than ten years, boiled in an instant!
