After a long voyage across the star field, the imperial inspection team finally arrived at the Black Star Palace and was received by Han Xiao in the reception room.

"Hello, Lord Black Star, we are the envoys of the Kunde tribe this time."

A group of imperial cadres walked into the room, walking in neat steps. The leader of the inspection team led them with a respectful tone and took the initiative to extend his hand.

Han Xiao shook hands with him and invited everyone to take a seat. The other party briefly introduced himself, then took out the documents and got straight to the point.

"There are currently 113 planets inhabited by the Kunde tribe, with a population of one trillion. This time, the imperial colonial review department has given us twenty-five planets to be released from the ban. This is the upper limit, not a fixed number. If the assessment fails,

If the standards are met, we don’t have to lift the ban.”

"Can more than a quarter of the population be unlocked? I understand." Han Xiao nodded.

Each planet of the Kunde tribe is independently sealed and cannot communicate with each other. Therefore, the cultural transformation process of each planet is different. It is the task of the inspection team to select the planets with a high degree of transformation.

Although the empire has other goals, and the inspection team is most likely just a formality, there must still be rigid standards. If the results of the transformation are really not optimistic, the ban will not be lifted, and the empire does not want to release too many unrest factors.

After everyone chatted for a few words, Han Xiao called the inspection team from the legion and asked the two parties to discuss the details on their own before he left the room.

Given his level, it is enough to express his attitude. Naturally, he is not responsible for the specific work.

Han Xiao returned to the office and received a message from Phillip not long after, saying that the empire inspection team and the legion inspection team had reached a consensus and had left the Black Star Palace on a spaceship to start work vigorously and resolutely.

"Check the current status of each Kunde planet." Han Xiao asked Philip to retrieve relevant information.

He didn't have time to keep an eye on the Kunde tribe's transformation progress. Now that the inspection team had arrived, he planned to carefully browse the current status of each Kunde tribe planet, and take a look at the effect of his advance notification, so that he would have an idea.

On the virtual screen suspended in front of him, information about the Kunde planets flashed across quickly, and Phillip's voice also sounded at the right time:

"Master, according to statistics, after the news of the arrival of the inspection team was released, the appearance of the Kunde planet has changed. The popularity of anti-imperial thoughts has been reduced by 46% on average, and the average proportion of haters has dropped from 32% to

7%, but the social security level of some planets has declined, murders occur frequently, and some haters die from internal cannibalism..."

"Are they killing each other? It seems that the notification of the arrival of the inspection team gave them hope. After more than 20 years of isolation, they knew that lifting the isolation was the only way out for the ethnic group. Some people cherished this opportunity, so they began to eliminate the die-hards.

That’s right, right?”

"Yes buzz~"

"It's quite rational. It's just a pack of wolves... but this kind of behavior may have the opposite effect."

Han Xiao scratched his chin.

Even at the expense of a small number of people, to eliminate the diehards within and show obedience, at first glance, this behavior is for racial justice, which is quite great.

But the empire looks at the problem from a different perspective. Being too eager to lift the ban means that there is a strong purpose and killing each other, which means the establishment of a new hatred relationship. According to normal review standards, this is a sign that the degree of cultural transformation is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

, the blockade needs to continue until the temperament of the target group is smoothed out.

However, since the empire conducted the inspection many years in advance, it naturally understood that such a situation would occur. Han Xiao estimated that the standards would be set very low, and this behavior may have positive effects.

…

In the following months, the imperial expedition team visited one Kunde planet after another, and the assessment records became more and more abundant day by day.

Kunde tribe's No. 77 residential star, West Gaia City Prison, interrogation room.

The double-sided mirror wall divides the room into two spaces, one side is the interrogation room where the prisoners are located, and the other side is the monitoring room.

At this moment, the imperial inspection team was standing in the control room. The leader of the inspection team was holding a file. From time to time he glanced at a shackled Kunde man in the interrogation room, and slowly read out the contents of the file.

"Barton, age twenty-two, is a mechanical superpower. He graduated from the First Superpower Academy in West Gaia City. He is extremely talented and has excellent grades. He was promoted to level C during last year's test. The reason for his imprisonment is... inciting others to commit murder.

A total of 126 people died indirectly under his orders, and seven people were killed with his own hands, including his relatives.

The deceased were all haters in the census records, and he claimed that he was doing this to eliminate the die-hards... When the law enforcement officers came to the door, he stopped his accomplices who tried to resist, chose to let go, and shouldered all the crimes."

"How cruel." The leader of the Black Star Legion inspection team on the side said.

After reading the report, the leader of the imperial expedition team cleared his throat, then turned on the communication system and spoke to Patton:

"Barton, you instigated murder and committed bad deeds in order to cope with the empire's inspection?"

Barton closed his eyes and said nothing.

Seeing this, the leader of the imperial investigation team continued: "Let's just assume that's what you think. It's impossible for you not to know that when you commit a case, the law enforcement officers who monitor everything will definitely come to your door. In order to eliminate the so-called die-hards,

You didn't hesitate to go to jail, but you also took the blame for some of your accomplices. Is it worth losing your life for this?"

Barton shook his head calmly and whispered:

"Both here and outside are prisons. What's the difference? No one's life on this planet has value. If it can be exchanged for some hope, of course it's worth it."

"You think you are great?" The leader of the inspection team said expressionlessly, "I am an imperial inspector. To tell you the truth, I don't like your extreme behavior. The purpose is too obvious. Do you think that you can do this?

Impress the empire? Young man, do you underestimate us?"

The color of Barton's body surface changed slightly, but it soon returned to a calm color, and he whispered: "In my life, there may be only this opportunity for inspection. I just did what I thought was right at the right time.

No matter what the result of the inspection is, I have reduced the source of hatred, and there will be fewer haters born in the future. Even if it doesn't work now, the chance of passing the inspection will be improved in the future. At least my efforts are meaningful."

The leader of the imperial inspection team was unmoved. He had seen many examples of defeated races undergoing cultural transformation and it was commonplace, so his mood would not fluctuate in any way.

He thought for a while, changed the topic, and asked: "If the planet is lifted, what do you think should be done to quickly revive the race?"

"Join the Black Star Legion."

Button's answer this time was without hesitation.

The leader of the imperial inspection team narrowed his eyes, "Why?"

"Even if the ban is lifted, the Kunde people still live in the territory of the Black Star Legion. In the short term, the Kunde people still need the protection of the Black Star Legion. Our civilization is still too weak.

If someone can become a cadre of the Black Star Legion, the Kunde tribe can get corresponding help, let superpowers work for the Black Star, and use individuals to feed back the group. This is the best way out at present."

Barton said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the leader of the imperial inspection team couldn't help but glance at the Black Star Legion inspection team and snorted:

"It seems that your publicity work has been done well."

"Thank you for the compliment. It's all because of the legion commander's good leadership and strong personal charisma." The legion inspection team leader chuckled.

The leader of the imperial inspection team withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and thought for a while, then wrote a note on the review form and checked a few boxes.

…

After the inspection team visited all the Kunde planets, Han Xiao received the final assessment results.

"A total of seventeen planets have met the lifting standards, and the review standards are even lower than I imagined."

Han Xiao curled his lips and looked at the list of unbanned people. Among them was the resident planet No. 77.

After thinking for a while, he called out Philip and ordered:

"Well, there is no problem. Just follow this list and let the garrison troops on these seventeen planets guide the residents to become familiar with the interstellar society and issue recruitment announcements. Although the Kunde tribe has lifted the ban, they have nowhere to go. There will be

A large number of people choose to join my staff...

Also, live broadcast the process of unblocking the seventeen planets to other planets to encourage them to accept the transformation and regain their freedom as soon as possible."

Han Xiao issued the order, then read the details of the investigation process, and discovered the conversation record between the imperial investigation team leader and Barton.

"Oh, this guy is interesting."

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, pulled up Barton's information, looked at it, and then said:

"Philip, notify the prison department on Planet 77 to release this kid and let him join the legion."

With Han Xiao's current status and level, it is no longer easy to impress him with just one or two sentences. On the one hand, he feels that Barton is a person who has pursuits and is not a salty person. On the other hand, he feels that Barton has the value of training. After all, Kunde

The clan did not have a super power system before, and Barton was one of the first people to come into contact with it. He became a C-level super user at a young age, so he should have good potential.

However, Han Xiao has no intention of meeting. He just habitually picks out a good leek from the vegetable field and does not cultivate it specially. If Barton fails to make a name for himself among the Black Star Legion, Han Xiao

I won't remember him specifically.

A few days later, after the assessment results were approved by the empire, the Black Star Legion immediately took action to lift the blockade of these seventeen planets, and hundreds of billions of Kunde people were liberated.

On the day when the ban was lifted, countless people's ecstatic cheers resounded through the sky. After more than 20 years of suffering, they finally saw the light of day again. Both the old and the young had tears in their eyes at this moment.

Everyone still has prejudices against the empire, but most people are deeply grateful to the Black Star Legion. They are not only grateful to the Black Star Legion for their advance notice, but also grateful to the Black Star for severely injuring Modo to avenge the Kunde tribe, and for several

The kindness of protecting me for ten years.

Within the Kunde tribe, the legion's reputation is unparalleled, and their relationship has reached the level of respect.

At the same time, Residential Planet No. 77, West Gaia City Prison.

When Barton walked out of the prison gate, the dazzling sunlight made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes. The streets were filled with carnival crowds, and noisy cheers came from different directions, far and near, frequently.

The lifeless city in his memory seemed to suddenly come to life. Barton was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he was in another world.

"You've been released from prison, let's go."

The warden spoke from behind. He had received instructions from Black Star, so he did not dare to neglect and personally escorted Barton out of prison.

"Isn't my case very bad? Why did you let me go?" Barton turned around, shocked and confused.

Do I think I want to...

The warden slandered, but a stiff smile appeared on his face, "You don't need to thank me, this is the regiment commander who personally named the person to be released. He must have taken a fancy to your ability. You should work hard and don't let down the regiment commander's kindness.

"
