Staring at Troy's fearful and respectful expression, Han Xiao laughed and asked: "You mean, you were framed to get to where you are now, and you are innocent?"

Troy swallowed his saliva and said bravely: "I was plotted by my political opponents, and they placed many charges on me."

Han Xiao gave a long oh, without comment, and said: "You want to take refuge in me now, take refuge under my command, and let me protect you?"

Troy said cautiously: "I dare not ask for your protection. I only ask that you allow me to leave the central star sea from the star gate with the fleet of the Black Star Legion. I am now wanted by a galaxy-level civilization. Without anyone to help, I cannot borrow the star."

Door."

Han Xiao shook his head and laughed, "Every civilization in the Constellation Corridor is controlled by the empire. You don't know that I am an ally of the empire? You are now a wanted criminal of a vassal civilization of the empire. You took the liberty to come to me. It would be nice if I didn't arrest you on the spot. You

You still want me to take the risk and take you to Broken Starlink? Just say it so casually, and you expect me to help you for free... Do you think I look like a philanthropist?"

"No, no, you misunderstood." Troy waved his hands repeatedly, "Although I want to take refuge, I also sincerely join the Black Star Legion. Your story of rising in the Broken Star Ring has spread throughout the universe. I have admired you for a long time. If you

I don’t mind it, I am willing to work for you and be loyal to you in the future,”

"Oh?" Han Xiao put his elbows on the table, folded his palms on the tip of his nose, stared at Troy, and said slowly: "You said you are innocent, do you think I believe it? Your ambition has failed.

You are wanted by civilization and you want to find me as your backer and use my name to pay the price of your failure. Is that such a good thing?"

In fact, this guy didn't know anything at all. During the years he ruled Soderian, he secretly planned many conspiracies to seek greater power. After the things were exposed, he was suppressed by civilization. Although there were exaggerations by political opponents, he did not

Clean, neither side is a good bird.

There is nothing wrong with the incident process described by Troy. He just changed the explanation of the reasons, deliberately concealed some of his own factors, and did not tell the whole truth. He wanted to shirk the blame, reduce the severity of his guilt, and portray himself as the victim.

He showed a helpless image in an attempt to lower Han Xiao's vigilance.

However, this method is of no use to Han Xiao. Soderian is the earliest novice planet in the Constellation Corridor. There is information dug by players. Han Xiao knows the ins and outs behind it so well that Troy can't hide it at all.

Moreover, Han Xiao checked the forum and browsed the chronicle posts recorded by players in the Constellation Corridor. It recorded a hidden mission. When Troy escaped and retreated, he arranged for people to plant high-energy explosives in the government building in Soderian's capital city, enough to level ten people.

A few blocks, regardless of the casualties of staff and civilians, were very vicious, but this triggered the player's hidden mission. The trap was destroyed by the player. Troy's back-up plan failed, but it also proved that this guy is not a good person.

You must retaliate and do whatever it takes.

Under Han Xiao's gaze, Troy's face froze, and he was secretly worried. If he hadn't been desperate, he wouldn't have rushed to the doctor. He gritted his teeth, put down his face, and suddenly fell down at Han Xiao's feet. In Interstellar General Culture

, this action represents the important etiquette of surrender.

"What is your identity? Who dares to deceive you? I did not express myself clearly and caused your misunderstanding. I apologize to you and hope you can save my life. I am willing to serve you forever."

Han Xiao secretly curled his lips, knowing very well what Troy was thinking. It was just that he had committed a crime and was desperate. The legion happened to be recruiting people, so he wanted to come here to take refuge. He was trying to conceal the truth with his clever words. If he failed, he wanted to find a backer to help him bear the consequences.

Nothing is so cheap.

Dare to put the idea on his head, if Troy didn't have a special role, he would have had Troy captured in exchange for a bounty, and the money bag would be delivered to his door, not for nothing.

Han Xiao stood up, lowered his head and glanced at the back of Troy's head, "I don't need your service, let alone your gratitude. I'm too lazy to catch you, so I'll pretend I've never seen you. Now disappear from my eyes immediately. Don't let me do it again."

See it, otherwise..."

Brush! The door slid open and Hela walked in. She stared at Troy coldly and told him to get out.

Troy's face was pressed to the ground, and his expression could not be seen clearly. After two seconds, he got up and patted the hem of his clothes, as if he wanted to dust away the non-existent dust. His head hung down and his eyesight kept tilting at a forty-five degree angle.

Looking at the ground, he did not dare to raise his eyes to look into Han Xiao's eyes. Under Hela's sharp gaze, he remained silent, clenched his fists, walked out of the room step by step, and was escorted away from the branch satellite.

After he left, Han Xiao's face relaxed and he revealed an inexplicable smile.

"I don't know if this free move will come in handy..."

Technician Han deliberately let Troy go, and Technician Han had an ulterior motive. Troy, as one of the mainline NPCs on the novice planet, had a plot. According to the development of his previous life, Troy escaped with a narrow escape, and finally escaped from pursuit in a thrilling manner.

Because he was wanted, he escaped into the border cracks of the Central Star Sea and survived there. Later, he was absorbed by the Ark of the Fallen and became a member of Ability God, not even a cadre. But because he was once a mainline NPC on the novice planet, so

Only then was the player noticed and recorded this information.

Important NPCs in the early stage turned into ordinary characters in the later stage and were treated as easter eggs by players, so Han Xiao remembered what happened to Troy.

Therefore, before Han Xiao let Troy go, he quietly gave him a wink.

The Ability God was immune to the observation mark, and Troy came to the door. This gave Han Xiao an idea. If Troy joined the Ark of the Fallen as usual in the future, then he could monitor the actions of the Ability God.

Although I don’t know whether or when this moving eye position will take effect, since it is a random move, Han Xiao just wants to give it a try. After all, there is no good way to target the gods and make a profit.

It’s no loss if you don’t succeed.

…

Forty days flew by.

Han Xiao has been sitting on Gilman Planet, waiting for the branch to recruit people. During this period, he has not been idle. He has been expanding the mechanical legion every day, and using the new ultimate knowledge he has mastered, slowly transforming mechanical life. With Youzu as the leader,

The first generation of mechanical life under his command reached 3,000...

It's not that he doesn't want to get a few more. There are several main reasons. First, the cooldown of [Master of Kings] is a bit long, measured in days, and this is a prerequisite skill for using [Fire Awakening].

The second is that [Fire Awakening] can be cast in a group, but the upper limit of the target group cast is not very high. When the skill is upgraded to the full level, it can only be used on a dozen targets at most at a time. Moreover, he discovered that the mechanical life that can be cast in a group is

, the initial level is not as high as the mechanical life cast by a single target. The single target and the group consume the same skill. If it is shared among more targets, the energy received by each individual will be less.

The third is... he used it too frequently, and his kidneys couldn't bear it...

This also strengthened Han Xiao’s idea of ​​developing mechanical civilization. Using [Fire Awakening] alone to create mechanical life is not very efficient. His blood and mana regeneration are fast, but his physical strength needs rest and recovery, and the formed mechanical civilization can

Exploding troops on your own is not only very efficient, but also saves worry and effort, as you don't have to work day and night.

In the past forty days, the recruitment of the Gilman Star branch has finally settled.

There are many Transcendent A Grade forces in the Central Star Sea. The appeal of the Black Star Legion here is not as high as that of the Broken Star Ring. The Gilman Star branch has only recruited more than 10 million new members during this period, and the growth rate is gradually slowing down.

Tends to be saturated. Compared to the Transcendent A Grade forces in the Central Star Sea, this scale is relatively small, and the branch has just started.

Among them, there are more than 4 million new player members, accounting for about 85% of the total number of players in the Constellation Corridor. Through legion benefits and word-of-mouth on the forum, most of the players in the Constellation Corridor have come from surrounding galaxies to join.

Most of these more than four million players choose to become members of the legion's mercenary department. Legion members are divided into two types, one is the backbone, who obeys the legion's orders, and the other is the semi-establishment member, who works for the legion but is free to hire.

Bing is a typical example of the latter.

The mercenary system is inherently loose, and the mercenary department retained by the legion does not violate the rules of interstellar mercenaries. However, most players in the Constellation Corridor only come for the welfare benefits. Being a mercenary is more free for them and provides the legion with more freedom.

You do things in exchange for resources, the relationship is simple, and you won't be completely bound to the camp.

Han Xiao is not surprised by this. Other star players have not gotten along with the legion for a while, and their relationship needs to be cultivated slowly.

He gave the players of the Constellation Corridor ample time to make their choices. Among the more than four million player members, 700,000 accepted the Glittering World main line and applied to follow the legion to the Broken Star Ring.

The majority of the 700,000 people are ordinary players, which is partly due to the mobilization of clubs and guilds, while the remaining millions of players have decided to temporarily stay in the star field where they were born to continue exploring, and take a look at the situation of these cross-star player players.

The first batch poached 700,000 leeks, and Han Xiao was quite satisfied with this number.

Today is the day of departure. A huge Black Star Legion transport fleet is ready to go, and 700,000 players have already boarded the ship.

At this moment, players from all star regions are paying attention to the developments here through the forum's broadcast thread.

Every player is interested in the first cross-star domain case, and it may be used as a reference for their future cross-star domain. Therefore, this has become the highest-profile action in the history of the Black Star Legion, causing a stir among the player community.

The popularity broke previous records!

On each transport ship, many players were whispering to each other, excited.

"I don't know what it feels like to cross a star field, and how it is different from an ordinary star gate."

"I'm leaving now, but I'm still a little reluctant to leave. I don't know when I can come back."

"Will the players from Broken Starlink bully us?"

"Tell me, if you jump out of the spaceship while traveling across star fields, will anything interesting happen..."

"Guard! It's this guy!"

In the bridge command room of the main ship, Hela stood leaning against the wall with her arms folded, Aurora sat in the main driving seat and kept operating, and Fording watched with her head lowered beside her.

Hardaway was sitting on the sofa, holding a blue crystal square wine bottle in his hand, swaying the mercury-colored liquid in the bottle, and pouring it into his mouth boldly, choking until his face turned red. On the table was a Wien card game.

, the rule is who loses the drink, there are a bunch of empty bottles at his feet, and sitting in the opponent's position is the old man Aesop who was dragged over with a helpless look on his face, as if he suspected that you just wanted to drink.

Emersy stood in front of the viewing window with her hands folded, looking at the fleet around her. For more than a month, she had been accompanied by close people such as Han Xiao, Hela, and Aesop, and she was quite comfortable staying here on vacation.

Han Xiao stood in front of the star map. The target location had been set early. After everyone got on the ship, he immediately sent an order to the fleet.

"Set off."

Rumble

The propellers sprayed out tail flames, and the battleships took off one after another.

"Finally let's go!" Many players on the ship cheered up, and countless people following on the forum also widened their eyes.
Chapter completed!
