Views:

It didn't take much time to leave the territory and return to Prometheus. Ashe led the way into the Legion Council's independent station in the legion area. As soon as Xiao Ran entered, he saw Cruze smiling and surrounded by people talking.

Cruze saw Xiao Ran at a glance, nodded politely to the people around him, and then came over to greet him, saying: "My Lord Legion Commander, this is your first time here."

"It'll be fine as long as I have you." Xiao Ran smiled and looked at the people who gathered around again, and asked, "Who are these people?"

"These are the legion representatives who have signed a cooperation agreement with our legion." Cruze stood next to Xiao Ran and said to those people with a smile: "Everyone, this is Xiao Ran, the commander of our Burning Legion."

"I have long admired your name, Commander Xiao Ran."

"Legion Commander Xiao Ran makes people admire him at a glance."

"I also hope that Sir Xiao Ran can take more care of me in the future."

As soon as Kruse introduced him, the people around him immediately ran out with all kinds of nice words and flattery without asking for money. Xiao Ran also nodded to everyone with a polite and warm smile. Kruse raised his hand and pressed He smiled and said to those people: "We are all partners who have signed cooperation terms. Our legion commander will definitely take care of you. We still have some things to deal with, so I'll excuse you for now."

After wasting a few minutes, the person accompanying Xiao Ran became Cruze. After entering the station building, Xiao Ran also asked: "What is the situation now."

The fake smile on Cruze's face just now disappeared without a trace, and he said: "I suddenly received a notice saying that because there have been big changes in the rankings of the top five, the issue of shared territory requires the top five legions. The meeting was re-discussed and soon turned into a meeting between the five army commanders. After all, you had hardly ever appeared. The legion commanders of several other legions would come forward, so it was a bit inappropriate for someone like me who was not a legion commander. . ”

"In addition, there should be some mutual testing or exchange of interests in this exchange, information trading, etc. That's what Qinglong guy told me. Finally, there is information about the Fantasy Zone. I know from Qinglong that from No one has ever come into contact with the fantasy zone, or even cross-zone mission cards. However, Qinglong said that the number one legion commander might know something. That person's identity is very special, not just a participant. So if you want information about the Fantasy Zone, you can only rely on you to get it."

Xiao Ran nodded gently: "How special is it?"

Cruze stopped and said, "There are rumors that that person originally belonged to the Fantasy Zone. I'm not sure, but at least he didn't belong to the Real Zone. There are also rumors that he was originally supposed to be the original Prometheus." Residents, but that was a long, long time ago, and no one is sure whether these rumors are true or false.”

"But after all, he is the number one commander of the legion. In theory, he should be the most powerful person in that legion, and the number one person in the Prometheus Real Zone in name."

Xiao Ran nodded lightly and patted Cruze on the shoulder: "Okay, I understand."

Kruse smiled: "That's the news I got here. Anyway, if I tell you this and you can handle it, I won't have to worry about the rest."

Xiao Ran nodded.

The two walked for a while and then stopped in front of a gate. There were several people standing in front of the gate. One of them was the deputy commander of the Cuimeng Legion. After seeing Xiao Ran, he also bowed slightly towards Xiao Ran very politely. Bend down: "Legion Commander Xiao Ran."

Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "Hello."

Several other people also set their sights on Xiao Ran, but except for one who smiled and nodded at Xiao Ran, the others didn't have much expression.

The deputy commander of the Cuimeng Legion turned slightly to the side and said, "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, the other legion commanders have been waiting for a long time."

Xiao Ran nodded: "I'll go in now."

The deputy commander of the Emerald Dream Legion did not let Xiao Ran open the door by himself, but took the initiative to open the door for Xiao Ran. After Xiao Ran walked in, he stood with Cruze, clearly expressing his attitude and position to the others. , as for the person who smiled at Xiao Ran, he came from the third-ranked Bercia. The two legions were now confirming cooperation matters, so they also extended their friendship.

But other people showed a completely unfamiliar and cautious attitude.

Walking into the door, Xiao Ran saw four people standing or sitting in the room. Except for Qinglong who was standing aside with arms folded, Xiao Ran could say that he didn't know the other three people at all.

As a newcomer who suddenly joined this circle, Xiao Ran was the first to speak politely: "Hello everyone."

Qinglong hurriedly walked towards Xiao Ran: "Legion Commander Xiao Ran, come in quickly, I will introduce you to the three legion commanders."

"Zhou, Commander of the Bersian Army."

Xiao Ran looked at the person introduced by Qinglong. When he met Cang, Xiao Ran never thought that their legion commander would be a woman. The person leading the third-highest legion in the entire real zone would be a woman. He was immediately shocked. Xiao Ran thought about Na Zi back then, how could the gap between them be so big if they were both women.

This person named Zhou cannot be said to be very beautiful, beauty is of course, Prometheus handsome boys and beauties can be seen everywhere, but it is not the kind of beauty that is full of charm like Ai Xi, but a very heroic and refreshing beauty, like a The female general is heroic.

Like Cang, it is a one-character name, simply the word "zhou", but I don't know if such a name is just a code name or their real name, and what kind of meaning it has.

"Captain of the Space Corps."

"Hello, Commander Xiao Ran."

"This is Todd, the commander of the second-ranked legion Kai."

This is a gentle-looking man, wearing a half-robe, his hair meticulously arranged at the back, wearing a pair of round-rimmed glasses, he looks very gentle, gentle and wise, and he is holding a thick book in his hand. The book does not look like a participant who has experienced countless wars, but like a scholar.

After hearing his name, he nodded slightly and smiled at Xiao Ran.

"The last one is the commander of the current number one Mythical Legion..."

"nameless."

Myth has no name. For a moment, Xiao Ran seemed to have walked into the wrong set. However, it makes perfect sense to put the word myth in Prometheus. It has no name and a big name.

Wuming has natural white hair. He is silent and gloomy, like a deep pool of water with no bottom. Even though he openly reveals all his face, he still exudes a kind of mystery, and that face cannot be said to be pretty. It's just a face that is so ordinary that it's hard to find any advantages but also can't find any faults at all.

Coupled with the Qinglong beside him, a forced indifference and an arrogant posture, the four people in the room can be said to have their own characteristics, and now with the addition of Xiao Ran, tsk tsk tsk, this five-person council is even more interesting.

Xiao Ran looked at the three people except Qinglong who nodded and smiled: "I'm sorry, I don't have much contact with the Legion Council and I know very little about it. It's really embarrassing to keep everyone waiting."

Wuming didn't speak, and Qinglong didn't have the right to speak. Todd raised his head, pushed up his glasses, and smiled gently at Xiao Ran, indicating that it didn't matter. His gentleness was completely different from Xiao Ran's warmth. The feeling was from the bottom of his heart. The gentleness revealed in his face was as warm as a small sun, while Xiao Ran's warm smile was like a bright sun, warm but also scorching, the kind that would get scorched if you weren't careful.

At the end, Zhou waved his hands cheerfully and said in a rather heroic voice: "After all, it is the first time for Commander Xiao Ran to come into contact with the five-member council. It is okay to come late without being notified before. Don't worry about these small things. Thanks to Army Commander Xiao Ran, we drove that noisy guy out of the five-person council."

The noisy guy naturally refers to Huiyan, the former fifth-ranked Huiyan Legion, that strong man, rough and thin but noisy.

The five chairs in the room represented the top five seats of the real zone legions. Now there were only two chairs left with no one sitting on them. Xiao Ran didn't care and kept smiling and sat on a chair casually, and then Qinglong followed suit. The last chair.

This order seemed to indicate the ranking issue among everyone, but it also seemed to express another deeper meaning, which also made the other three people look at Xiao Ran and Qinglong involuntarily.

This Qinglong, who usually seemed quite indifferent at all times, would greet Xiao Ran so enthusiastically and introduce him to Xiao Ran so kindly. This was indeed a bit incredible in the eyes of the three of them.

The bespectacled man Todd put down the book in his hand and smiled at Xiao Ran: "It seems that the commander of the Xiao Ran Army and the commander of the Blue Dragon Army have not known each other before, and they are already very familiar with each other."

"It is indeed very familiar." Xiao Ran did not deny this, and said with an elegant smile: "After the battle with the virtual army of the Cuimeng Army, I took the initiative to find the commander of the Green Dragon Army. After all, everyone will be sitting here in the future. There is no need for us to work together in the top five legions at the same table because of a ranking issue and to break up and cause even greater chaos to Prometheus. Therefore, we actively seek out the Emerald Dream Legion to achieve some goals. cooperate."

"The commander of the Blue Dragon Army is a good person. Although he looks cold on the outside, he is warm and polite on the inside. He is a person who can become a friend."

Zhou smiled: "Legion Commander Xiao Ran and Cang from my legion seem to get along very well. I also hope to become a true friend with you, Commander Xiao Ran."

Xiao Ran nodded and smiled: "I welcome it. I hope that the Burning Legion can become friends rather than enemies with everyone, and I don't want the Burning Legion to become the enemy of others. Being harmonious is a good thing. Anyone who is willing to cooperate with our Burning Legion We are all willing to cooperate with him.”

Although the five people are ranked first to fifth in the legion, this ranking does not mean that when the five legion commanders sit together, they will determine the weight of their words based on that ranking. In fact, everyone sitting here is They are equal, unless there is a big boss who can really suppress everyone else.

It is difficult for Xiao Ran to give an accurate evaluation to these people. Of course, apart from Qinglong, Wuming makes it difficult to see the depth. Todd seems to be deliberately hiding it, and Zhou seems to be honest, but if Xiao Ran really wants to say it, it will not be clear. Only Wuming might have the ability to suppress others, but that was before.

Now that Xiao Ran has entered this council, he will naturally not give others the chance to unify. If there is to be unification, it will be his unification and not other people's.

Whether these three people believe what Xiao Ran said has nothing to do with Xiao Ran, and there is no need or significance to care at all.

Zhou nodded and said: "The reputation of the Burning Legion was not small in the past, especially the machines, battleships, and weapons produced by the Burning Legion were all high-quality, but now they have proven themselves with their own force."

Except for saying his name at the beginning, Wuming has not said a word yet and has no intention of speaking at all. The person who talks the most is Zhou. Should I say that she is worthy of being a woman or is she deliberately relying on herself as the only one in this place? It’s hard to say that women should use this point to enhance their right to speak.

Todd smiled and said, "We've almost finished talking politely, let's talk about the business next?"

Xiao Ran nodded: "Okay."

Todd looked at Zhou and made a gesture of invitation, and the latter said directly without being polite: "The main purpose of this five-person council is to meet the commander of Xiao Ran's army, and also to meet with the commander of Xiao Ran's army. We are familiar with each other, and there may be a gap in strength among the legions that can become the top five, but it is hard to say how big this gap will be."

"The role of the legion council is to maintain the stability of the real zone environment, so the five-member council of the first five legions must play a leading role in this. In the past, conflicts between legions in the five-person council rarely occurred and It is very restrained, so we all hope that after Xiao Ran’s Burning Legion joins, they can maintain a good relationship with our four legions.”

Xiao Ran nodded: "This is natural."

Todd smiled slightly and added: "The Legion Council has internal trade channels and communication channels, but among our five legions, there is also another small circle of trade and intelligence that only belongs to the five-person council. We also sincerely Invite Commander Xiao Ran to join us."

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "Can I ask what level each legion in this circle needs to reach before they truly join?"

Todd replied: "Not to any extent, there are no mandatory measures. Materials are valuable, information is valuable. If you are willing to give it out, but if you want to get it, you must give corresponding rewards. This is natural, but there is some tacit understanding in it. , such as how to avoid conflicts after the five major armies enter the same mission, and what kind of consensus should be reached on the maintenance of stability."

"Isn't the purpose of organizing the five-person meeting today to have a good exchange with you, Commander Xiao Ran?"
