Free competition zone, Emerald star cluster, Rosende star.

This is a resource planet located in the inner ring area of ​​the star cluster. It has long been occupied by a star cluster-level civilization called "Thunder Horn" and transformed into a temporary base camp for the exploration army. It is heavily defended and has a large amount of supplies and troops.

At this moment, the leadership of the Thunder Cape Civilization Exploration Army gathered in the headquarters fortress conference room.

"Two stronghold planets located in the central ring area were invaded serially and breached by different organizations employed by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. What do you think?"

The commander-in-chief pressed his hands on the conference table and looked around the senior officials present with sharp eyes.

boom!

A senior commander with a beard like a steel needle pounded the table and said angrily: "Is there any need to discuss it? Organize manpower for a crusade immediately! My troops guarding one of the strongholds have been completely wiped out.

, we must fight back!”

Another tall and thin officer with a calm temperament stroked the lightning-shaped blue horns on his head (this action is similar to a cosmic human touching his beard), and said slowly: "I think we should wait for the time being. The first is the action of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

There is premeditation and strategic intention. Even if we take it back, we will be attacked again. Secondly, the central area is currently in chaos due to the attack by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. It is being converted into a private area by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. It is too dangerous.

It’s not suitable to act rashly.”

Now, the fourth phase of exploration has been completed, and each of the four star clusters in the free competition area has a unified regional division. There are dozens or hundreds of galaxies in a star cluster. According to different positions, they are divided into outer edge areas from outside to inside.

There are four floors in total including the inner ring area, the middle ring area and the core area.

Currently, the main strategic goal of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance is to completely control the core and middle-ring areas, have a stable rear base camp, and then use space transmission methods such as star gate channels to maintain supply transportation lines.

Although this would lead to a heavy siege, the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance had no choice. Conquering cities and plundering territory was their main goal, and guerrilla warfare was not suitable for them. No matter which area they occupied, they would be besieged.

"Then what do you want to do? Are you going to send me to the stronghold and let my people die in vain?!" Steel Needle Hu's fiery officer angrily yelled.

"Commander-in-Chief?" The calm tall and thin military officer turned his head, "I should be thinking the same thing as you."

Hearing this, the Commander-in-Chief nodded slowly and said, "I also agree to wait. The situation is still unclear."

"We've already started fighting, what's left unclear?!" the fiery officer shouted.

The commander-in-chief said patiently:

"In this storm, we are not the protagonists. The three major civilizations and the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance are the protagonists and chess players. Although the fourth phase is called a free competition zone, those of us who came to dig for gold and occupy land only took the initiative to enter

The pieces on the chessboard are far from being able to determine the direction of the overall situation, so now we have to wait for the three major civilizations to respond."

"So we have to expect the three major civilizations to take action on behalf of our troubled forces and start a war with the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance?"

"Of course not. The three major civilizations will not end up easily. After all, the principle of the free competition zone has not yet been broken. The Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance has recruited so many agent forces. On the one hand, it is to strengthen itself, and on the other hand, it also implies

According to the rules of the game, everyone uses agents to compete...and when their two armies start to officially fight, the situation will enter another more intense level, and now is not the time."

The calm tall and thin officer nodded: "Yes, so chess pieces like us are now waiting for the commander's order. When the three major civilizations respond, that is when we choose sides, then we will no longer be alone.

You’ll have a lot of teammates right away.”

The senior leaders of the Leijiao Civilization Exploration Army present nodded their heads.

Although I am not willing to be a chess piece, when I choose to enter the free competition zone, it is tantamount to taking the initiative to enter the game. These are the rules of the game formulated by the three major civilizations. If you are not convinced, don’t play. No one forces you. Of course, there are many benefits, and only those who are willing to be

Only chess pieces can obtain the benefits of Glittering World. How much you can get depends on your ability.

Didi didi!

At this moment, a virtual screen popped up in the center of the conference table. On it was a notice issued by the three major civilizations to the entire universe. The bright title jumped into everyone's eyes:

"Supplementary Regulations on the Anti-Monopoly Plan Explored in the Fourth Phase of Shining World"!

"coming!"

The Commander-in-Chief's eyes flashed, and he and everyone else read the announcement together, and they all had expressions of "Sure enough," they said.

The content of this announcement can be summarized in several points. First, it characterizes the incident the night before as the beginning of malicious competition and malicious monopoly, and believes that the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance violated the "Free Exploration Regulations"; second, it orders the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance to immediately stop malicious activities.

The act of expansion is strongly condemned by all civilizations in the universe; thirdly, if the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance does not repent and insists on going its own way, they will begin to impose sanctions and redistribute the territory occupied by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

In the appendix of the announcement, there is a plan to implement sanctions and redistribution. The Red Empire and the other two major civilizations expressed their unwillingness to personally undermine the "Free Exploration Regulations", so they encouraged all forces in the Free Competition Zone to launch a siege against the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

, provide special support based on merit.

At the same time, in the territory distribution plan, it was stated that the planets that various forces had taken back from the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance would not be taken back. As for those who helped the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, they would take back the territory as appropriate afterwards... In short, they were using inducements and other means to draw a picture.

A blank check requires all forces to attack the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance together, and makes it more difficult for the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance to win over agents.

Either choose the three major civilizations or the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. There is no third way for ordinary forces to take. If everyone wants to remain neutral and stay away from the storm, the result will be that the territory is gradually eroded by the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance. This is why the three major civilizations implement this

No one wants to have the confidence to make a decision and the results of their own exploration are taken away, and no one wants to be out of the game.

And if there is really a one-in-a-million chance that everyone would rather give up their territory than get involved in the turmoil, then the three major civilizations will send regular troops to the scene. After overthrowing the Transcendent Star Cluster, they will not give up their territory to other forces. It is justifiable.

Occupy it and complete the "redistribution".

As for the third-party Transcendent A Grade forces, they are an alternative existence in this storm. They are the only ones with the capital to be neutral. The three major civilizations and the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance will also avoid the territory occupied by Transcendent A Grade forces to a certain extent.

And this is the impact brought about by the establishment of the Development Federation. It has been different from the previous life, and the butterfly effect has begun to become prominent!

Of course, the premise is that as many Transcendent A Grades try to watch as much as possible, the forces under their command can take advantage of the opportunity to expand, but taking advantage of the situation cannot go too far, and must be measured.

"Insidious tactics."

The commander-in-chief rolled his horns, snorted coldly, suddenly increased his volume, and said loudly: "Organize the fleet to move towards the central area. The time has come. We now have enough indirect allies."

Everyone stood up suddenly and performed a military salute in unison.

"clear!"

…

On the other side, the Black Star Legion's exploration frontline stronghold in the Emerald Star Cluster.

The incident that broke out the night before caused an uproar among legion players. A large number of players gathered to explore the front line. The hall was filled with darkness, filled with legion players with different equipment. They were talking and noisy.

"What's going on? I was on a business trip a few days ago and didn't have time to go online. Why has the world changed so much as soon as I came back? Are these guild alliances playing tricks?"

"The Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance wants to unify the Free Competition Zone. How did the Northern Front and the Pan-Business Alliance get together?"

"I read the forum, and it seems that they got the main line war mission from the Transcendent Star Cluster."

"But we don't have any related tasks. Does this main plot require choosing the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance?"

"That's not necessarily true. Hasn't there been a big boss who has analyzed the current situation? The three major civilizations will definitely not give up. We in the Black Star Legion should naturally stand on the side of the three major civilizations."

Everyone was chattering and discussing. At this time, announcements about the three major civilizations popped up on the floating screen in the hall, attracting everyone's attention.

After the entire site was viewed, the atmosphere became heated again.

"Haha, I just said that such a big situation cannot be a one-sided main plot."

"So this is a camp war, with the three major civilizations and the Transcendent Star Cluster being opponents on both sides?"

"We are going to fight a national war!"

Countless players are extremely excited.

But after a while, there was still no movement on the panel, and gradually some people became confused.

"No, isn't it about camp war? Why didn't we receive the relevant main quest?"

"Does it have to be triggered actively? But who can trigger it?"

"We are members of the legion. Maybe we have to wait until the legion makes an official announcement before we have a mission?"

Just when everyone was in shock, the Philip subroutine of everyone's communicator suddenly jumped out and issued an announcement:

[Black Star Legion Battle Order]

[In view of the outbreak of conflicts between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, the Legion decided to carry out an armed crusade against the Modo Civilization Exploration Force. For details, please refer to the appendix "Kunde Civilization" [Collapse/Expand] to conduct a targeted attack on the area occupied by the Modo Civilization.

When attacking, we don’t have to worry about affecting other Transcendent Star Cluster civilizations. If other forces prevent our actions, we can attack together. Expelling and killing the Modo civilization is our primary strategic goal. Legion affiliated organizations can do so without deviating from the strategy.

Take action on your own]

As soon as the announcement came out, a mission popped up on the panels of all legion players at the same time to start a camp war with the Modo civilization.

Apart from the specific requirements, there is no difference in form from the main missions obtained by Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance players.

Seeing this, many people beamed with joy.

"That's right, that's right. As expected, we won't have the main mission until the legion issues an announcement."

"So Modo civilization has a grudge against us?"

"Hey, at first glance, you are a guy who didn't read the background story of the version update carefully. The Modo civilization conspired to use the Kunde civilization, a native of Glittering World, to almost annihilate the people. You are very mean and deserve to be beaten."

Countless legion players are very excited and want to rush into the central area immediately.

However, what they didn't know was that there was actually something wrong with the mission they triggered, and it was not the main line of the battle between the three major civilizations and the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance.

For normal vassals of the three major civilizations or mercenaries from the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance, the missions they receive do not specify which civilization they want to fight. Instead, as long as they help expand their own power and kill any people from the other camp, their mission evaluation will be improved.

The missions given to legion players have the same mode, but the goal is simply the Modo civilization.

Due to the stance of the united front, the Black Star Legion and other Transcendent A Grade forces cannot respond to the call of the Scarlet Empire and cannot take the initiative to get involved in the turmoil. Therefore, normally, legion players do not have the main mission of the struggle between the two camps!

…

"Thankfully, brother, I'm smart..."
