As a native of Prometheus, Aipras also serves as an evaluator in the Legion Alliance Council, an organization affiliated with the Legion Hall. He is an Aboriginal, but he is also an Aboriginal who can deal with many participants and the Legion. , the identity and job responsibilities can be considered very special.
The aborigines are actually very mysterious in the eyes of many participants, because these aborigines exist in Prometheus and they are equivalent to two completely different ethnic groups. They do not need to participate in tasks and do not face dangers. At the same time, their What life is like, what abilities and rights they have are all unclear. The only thing we know is that the aborigines cannot reveal anything about other participants, so it feels like they know a lot of things, but the participants There is no way to get a word out of the Aboriginal people's mouths. Whether they know more or less is a secret.
Epras mentioned the super zone and the madman army in one breath. This shows that he is connected with the super zone. It also seems to indicate that there is another set of communication channels between the aborigines that can cross regions. Make contact.
In this way, Aipras should even know the general strength of the Burning Legion, but he has never shown it in front of any participants, including Xiao Ran.
After the evaluation team of Eplace confirmed the final result and uploaded it to the legion council and legion hall at the same time, it didn't take long for the entire legion fifty meters in front of Prometheus to become lively because of the news.
As soon as a legion that has never participated in the legion council joins the legion council, it will challenge the legion ranking that has been sitting in the fourth position for a long time. A legion that has long been known for its mystery among the Prometheus legion is finally going to Lift his mysterious veil.
No one would think that the Burning Legion is overestimating its capabilities. One of the meanings of the existence of the Legion Council is to target such guys who overestimate their capabilities and disrupt the Legion's environment. Now that the evaluation team has given the final result, it shows that the Burning Legion is indeed Has the ability to challenge for fourth place.
But many legions will wonder why the Burning Legion chose to stand up suddenly at this time. Is it because of what happened or because of who provoked them? There will also be people who think that the real strength of the Burning Legion is only fourth. The level is still beyond the fourth place but he chooses to hide his power.
But most legions still had mixed feelings after knowing this. The Burning Legion already had the ability to rank fourth. This was another top legion that had always been wearing a mysterious label under the noses of many people but was developing rapidly. , and all the previous uncertainties about the Burning Legion have been partially confirmed at this time.
But the most complicated and embarrassing thing in my heart is only three of the fifty legions, the fourth, the fifth, and the last fiftieth.
For the fourth-ranked legion, they may not have thought that their status would be challenged so suddenly. It is quite inexplicable. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a look of confusion. They have never provoked the Burning Legion. I have never had much contact with the Burning Legion, and there has never been any news that I will face an 'enemy' suddenly. Victory is okay, but failure is equivalent to turning yourself into a stepping stone for the Burning Legion to ascend to the throne. This is simply preparing to step on their heads and sit on the throne.
The fifth legion was also very embarrassed and irritable. They were not qualified to interfere in the first challenge of the Burning Legion. They could only watch helplessly as the Burning Legion and the fourth-ranked legion decided the final outcome. If the fourth-ranked legion wins, they will accept the challenge of the Burning Legion as the second game to confirm whether the Burning Legion can get the fifth position again.
But if the fourth legion fails directly, they will no longer have the opportunity to be challenged and will be directly kicked out of the top five seats. They will also lose all the rights they can enjoy when they are ranked fifth. The embarrassment is really because they They can only wait for the results, and their irritability is real because they can only accept the results.
For the 50th, it can be said that they are the goalkeepers of the Legion Council. Their strength is actually quite good. At least they are still qualified as goalkeepers. But now what they have to face is that they will inevitably be kicked out of the top 50 and lose the Legion Council. As a result of the seats, it was completely reduced from a good legion to an ordinary legion.
The situation of the legions in the entire Prometheus real zone is almost divided into three types. The first is the first to fifth place, which are the seats that can only be controlled by the top legion. The second is the sixth to fifth place. The tenth one can have their own seats in the parliament, participate in discussions and express opinions, and then the fifty-first and subsequent ones are mediocre, ordinary, and rubbish.
The fourth-placed legion restored the legion council after half an hour of intensive discussion. Then Leonard received the news and immediately conveyed it to Xiao Ran.
"Three days later, there will be a closed legion battle in the competitive area... a full-scale, encounter battle."
"Full scale?" Xiao Ran suddenly became a little silent as he looked at Leonard who slowly spoke out the notice given by the general council.
Leonard roughly stated what Xiao Ran was thinking right now: "The uncertainty of the commander of a full-scale legion is the greatest. In a full-scale battle, even an unranked legion is likely to have something unique to a high-ranked legion." The combat power is just like ours before, so we can’t be sure whether the opponent has any trump cards or reserve combat power.”
"But since the other party chooses to be closed, it means that they have never thought about exposing their power to the outside world. I think I can contact them and we can sign a confidentiality agreement with each other."
Xiao Ran nodded lightly, then shook his head and said helplessly: "Why bother? Why bother? Just ordinary ones. Just use participants to appear. Why do you have to get one?" What is the full scale? Is it to shock us and let us know the gap, or are we prepared to fight to the death to keep our fourth position?"
Leonard said: "I think it's all right. If you can keep the ranking, keep it. After all, fourth is more stable than fifth. Maybe he wants to fight us head-on to confirm our strength, and to scare us. We don’t want to try to trick them, even if we fail, it will tell us that they are not easy to mess with.”
At this time, there was a knock on the office door and Cruze opened the door and walked in. He looked at the two people sitting on the sofa and smiled: "You have caused another big incident in the past few days."
Xiao Ran looked at Cruze, waved his hand to Yao who was still standing by the door and said to Cruze: "Have you finished handling your matter?"
"Originally, it was almost handled, but something happened when you suddenly caused such a big incident." Cruze said with a smile: "All the terms of cooperation with the Shadow Blade Legion have been confirmed, but Bercia They were originally only prepared to cooperate with us to a certain extent, but now they want to further deepen the cooperative relationship with us because of the noise you made."
Xiao Ran did not give a direct answer but said: "Let me take a look at the terms of cooperation with the Shadow Blade Legion."
Cruze took out his personal terminal and handed it to Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran carefully read all the displayed terms.
After Xiao Ran read it, he looked up at Cruze: "This doesn't look like a cooperation clause, but more like an ancillary agreement?"
Kruse smiled: "Actually, there is no difference. Since they want greater support from us, of course they have to pay more."
"In the original terms of cooperation, I gave them a 20% discount on trade transactions alone, but they worked hard to get a 50% discount on the entire catalog, such as the protection agreement and the common enemy and common war agreement. I gave them A phased protection fee is collected on a pay-per-use basis, and they also worked hard to obtain phased payments at ultra-low prices, and also secured mission protection and team leadership agreements in addition to the hostile protection agreement."
"Of course, our purpose is to support them, so I have given a nominal zero charge for the protection fee, but they must purchase everything they need from our Burning Legion in the future, including airframes, battleships, weapons, etc. Wait, they can purchase what we don’t have.”
"There are also things like training agreements and guidance agreements. The first batch of them are going to buy a batch of cores, bloodlines, bodies, battleships and portable armor from us as the first protection fee."
"After all, the situation of our legion really scares them, and it is a real golden opportunity for them, not to mention the ranking battle."
Xiao Ran nodded and said: "But it still has to be mutually beneficial. I don't want the Legion to become a giant blood-sucking worm. I hope they can truly grow up and become reliable partners of the Burning Legion. The stronger the people who unite around us, the more powerful we will be." Our interests are greater than absorbing their flesh and blood so that we can obtain benefits that are meaningless and restrict their development."
"Just like the current Legion Council, if the top five are all allies who firmly support us, and the top fifty are all firm partners, then we will be truly powerful, instead of hanging ourselves in the first position alone. Then he was looked upon with hostility and spied upon by the other forty-nine people."
"As for the core matter, you need to communicate with Durandal and Luo. I'm not sure whether we can make it ourselves now."
Kruse said: "I have already asked, mass production is no problem, but the output has not been improved. Selling them one or two hundred units is no problem."
Xiao Ran nodded: "Okay, then let's determine it according to this agreement. It's okay if it's not a subsidiary. In the future, if there are legions that want to embrace the thigh, they will follow this agreement as the standard. Then what about Bercia?" What level of cooperation do you want to achieve?”
Kruse said: "Technical exchanges, pilot exchanges, business exchanges, etc., and finally we hope to reach strategic cooperation with us, sharing enemies, sharing friends, and mutual assistance in missions."
Xiao Ran asked: "What technology do they have that we urgently need but don't have?"
Cruze shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I didn't find it."
"Then temporarily suppress technical exchanges. Pilots can communicate, and business transactions can also be done. You can give them discounts and make the catalog fully public. Of course, they must do the same. There is no problem in helping each other on missions, and there is no problem in sharing friends. The common enemy told them that they need to think about it, and if we confirm it, we can sign it as a supplementary agreement."
"If they are unwilling to disclose the full catalog, we will also block it according to the degree of similarity. The maximum body size cannot exceed s but can be customized. Bloodlines will not be sold, cores will not be sold, and new series of warships will not be sold. Limited series Weapons are not for sale, and portable armor does not exceed level A."
Most of the participants in Prometheus have no bottom line at all, so even if they sign a contract, there is a high possibility of violating the contract. However, the participants can have no bottom line, but Prometheus's own bottom line is Very high. Prometheus used its own bottom line to raise the lower limit of all participants. At least the contract cannot be violated, and violation will inevitably lead to severe punishment. This makes the participants dare not violate the contract. Unless the two sides are amicable, if you want to betray, you can only give him a hehe.
Kruse nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "I'm fine here, Leonard, how are you over there?"
"Full-scale legion encounter in three days, virtual battle." Leonard told Kruse the reply he received, and then said: "You were still discussing this matter before you came."
"Haha, full scale?" Cruze showed the same expression as Xiao Ran just now, nodded and said: "Why not choose full scale?"
Leonard said: "We have the same idea, so I am going to sign a confidentiality agreement with the legion currently ranked fourth."
Kruse asked: "What if they don't sign?"
Xiao Ran smiled leisurely: "Then we will be a permanent neutral legion ranked fourth and actually number one. We will not participate in the wars and conflicts between any participating legions. We are willing to trade and cooperate with all legions. We will also be a neutral legion. Arms dealers, I believe no one would dare to attack us."
"It won't be much more difficult to provoke conflicts among these legions than to arrange those forces, camps, and enemies in the mission, and it won't be too difficult to cultivate some supporters."
Cruze and Leonard glanced at Xiao Ran, smiled and nodded lightly. Even if the Burning Legion stands on top of other legions' heads and makes a Shen Teng-style provocation, I'm afraid there won't be much if you come. The Legion can bear the consequences and come to create conflicts. What's more, the Burning Legion doesn't seem to be Shen Teng's kind of provocation. It should be said that it is more excessive than that. It is the kind carrying a rocket launcher. Come on.
After Leonard made contact, the fourth-ranked legion quickly responded in the affirmative. In fact, just as Xiao Ran and Leonard thought, since they chose the closed type, they must not want others to know about their legion. Their true strength, and the Burning Legion really had no grudges against them. The fight was only because of the rules. After the fight, both parties understood each other and could still keep it secret together and become friends.
No matter who is fourth or who is fifth, if the two parties truly become friends, wouldn’t their right to speak among the five seats be greatly increased
