The two left the venue through the side door and entered the reception room in the corridor. Philip closed the door. The soundproofing facilities here were very good, and the noise of the banquet outside was isolated.

The two sat down face to face. Han Xiao snapped his fingers and asked the simulated mechanical waiter on standby in the room to pour two glasses of amber wine, add a few ice cubes to them, and place them on the low table in front of the two of them.

"You can talk now." Han Xiao shook the wine glass and licked the rim of the glass with the fragrant and mellow wine.

He is now a big shot in Broken Starlink. With his current status, he no longer takes the initiative to find tasks, but tasks come to him. There will always be people coming to ask for help.

This phenomenon is not limited to him, players can also do it. Suppose a player has been around a certain galaxy for a long time and has made a name for himself. He will occasionally encounter NPCs who come to him. This is the role of regional reputation.

"That's right, my request is related to the future of Gural civilization..." Cecilin sat upright.

You guessed it, it’s not a big deal at this level, who would bother a Transcendent A Grade with nothing to do... Han Xiao’s face didn’t change, and he raised his hand, gesturing for him to continue.

"Before that, please allow me to briefly introduce the current situation of my civilization." Cecilin said seriously: "Gural civilization has always been in a state of military division. The three main parties have formed their own military areas and are opposed to each other.

, divided the territory, these three parties are the Ancient Emperor Party, the Pioneer Party and the Advent Party, and the ruling party that now represents the orthodox government of Gural Civilization is the Ancient Emperor Party. They conduct diplomatic activities in the name of Gural.

My teammates and I are all members of the Gudi Party."

Broken Star Ring is one of the edges of the explored universe. Due to the lack of control, the situation is relatively complicated. Some civilizations are very stable and peaceful, while some civilizations are in the midst of external and internal troubles all year round. Like the Gural Civilization, there is a situation of internal military division.

It was considered a rather serious civil unrest.

"Well, I understand, what do you want to request?" Han Xiao asked.

"I pray for the war assistance of the Black Star Legion to end the division of the Gural civilization and allow us to gain peace."

"Oh, I understand. You want to apply for war employment and let my people assist the current ruling party and suppress the other two parties, right." Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

However, Cecilin shook his head and gave an unexpected answer.

"No, I hope that the Black Star Legion can assist the Pioneer Party, overthrow the rule of the Ancient Emperor Party, and suppress the Advent Party."

Han Xiao became a little more interested and looked Cecilin up and down. "You are from the Ancient Emperor Party and you actually work as a lobbyist for another party. Could it be that you have secretly joined the so-called Pioneer Party and are you a spy?"

Cecilin shook his head, "No, I was born in a colonial star controlled by the Ancient Emperor's Party. I served in the army of the Ancient Emperor's Party when I became an adult. So far, I have not joined any other party."

"Then what are you doing this for? Benefits? Did the Pioneer Party promise you benefits?"

"No, I have a high position in the Gudi Party and I am a war hero. The Pioneer Party will not win over a die-hard member like me. And with my status, whatever the Pioneer Party can give me, the Gudi Party can also give me.

I'm not doing it for profit."

"What's that for?"

"Ideology." Cecilin said solemnly: "I agree more with the philosophy of the Pioneer Party. The Ancient Imperial Party has become decadent. Only the Pioneer Party can make the future of civilization full of hope."

"I understand." Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, "You are a traitor. The Ancient Emperor Party gave you power and status, and also allowed you to enjoy the Evolution Cube quota, but you secretly want to overthrow its rule?"

"From their point of view, I was indeed a betrayer, but from the Pioneer Party's point of view, I became a person who abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side. The statement depends on the position, so I just want to focus on the actual actions and don't want to care about other people's evaluations."

Cecilin whispered: "When I was young, I was a passionate young man. I always wanted to serve civilization, but my thoughts were not yet mature at the time. Like many people, I was also keen to maintain the orthodox Ancient Imperial Party. Since I was born in

Their colonial star, my position is largely determined by nature... But after serving for so many years, I have doubts about the ideas and behavior of the Ancient Imperial Party, and my belief has become increasingly shaken."

Han Xiao looked at him without saying a word and asked Philip to search for detailed information on the Gural civilization. He would not believe one word.

At this time, Cecilin's tone fluctuated, containing a hint of anger:

"Due to the partisan opposition, in order to maintain its absolute rule, the Gudi Party secretly committed many bloody incidents against compatriots. I was also involved in some of them. Looking back now, I regret it. I have seen the darkness of politics, the rule of

The bloodshed and the confinement of thoughts made me fall into self-doubt. My home is full of medals awarded to me by the ancient imperial party. I used to like to look at them and recall the glory of the past, but now I look at these medals that I was once proud of.

Medal, I can smell the disgusting smell of blood in my nose."

Han Xiao touched his chin, "So you decided to betray the party that trained you?"

"To be precise, after experiencing self-doubt, I felt like I had been liberated from some kind of shackles." Cecilin picked up the wine glass, took a sip, took a breath, and sighed: "I have always been bound by my identity. At that moment

I realized that the three parties are just positions that divide the civilization. The so-called opposition is meaningless. The future of the entire civilization should be more concerned. Whoever can bring a brighter future to Gular, I should help.

, so I got rid of the entanglement of being a member of the ancient imperialist party, got rid of the position that had always restricted me, and chose to follow free thoughts and inner judgment, so I chose the pioneer party that the people want. They can lead the ancient imperialists.

Lal goes even further."

"So you think you are great?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"I have no such idea." Cecilin shook his head.

"... Regarding your choice, I am just an outsider and I don’t want to comment on it anymore."

Han Xiao said slowly: "I just want to know, you said you have not joined other parties, so why do you represent the Pioneer Party to negotiate cooperation with me?"

"I am not making a request on behalf of the Pioneer Party, but in my personal capacity."

Han Xiao laughed, "Then why do you think you can convince me to intervene in a civilized civil strife that I don't care about at all? You have not reached a consensus with the Pioneer Party, let alone whether they have any intention for me to intervene. To be realistic

, can you afford to pay for war employment? Why should I kick out the Gudi Party that is now cooperating with me to help you? What can you bring me? "

"I know it is very abrupt in my personal capacity, but I have no choice." Cecilin said solemnly: "The Ancient Emperor Party sent me here this time, and also gave me a task, which is to let me serve as an envoy to represent the Ancient Emperor Party.

Applying for war employment from you, they are prepared to use force to eradicate the other two parties and take back all the divided areas."

"So that's it." Han Xiao understood.

The Ancient Emperor Party wants to resolve the split once and for all, but does not want to be controlled by advanced civilizations, so it does not ask for help from star cluster-level civilizations, but plans to hire foreign aid, that is, interstellar mercenaries. In Broken Starlink, the largest mercenary force is

Several, the most representative of which are three, Mercenary Allies, War Realm and Black Star Legion.

Since the Black Star Legion is the chief director of the Mercenary Alliance and is an ally of the Empire along with the War Realm, as long as the Black Star Legion is hired, the mercenaries of Broken Star Ring will basically not be hired by employers who are opposed to the Black Star Legion.

After all, the Black Star Legion has a high status and strong strength. Although the mercenaries value money, they do not want to die. At the same time, mercenary groups with cooperative relationships are not employed by mutually hostile employers. This is a potential rule of the mercenary industry.

In the mercenary world of Broken Starlink, the status and influence of the Black Star Legion are already at the peak level.

As the ruling party, the Ancient Emperor Party has already hooked up with the Black Star Legion. As long as it gets help, the Pioneer Party that Cecilin likes will definitely be defeated, so he can only take risks and attack Han Xiao directly without adequate preparation.

Make a request.

Tsk, I was really unlucky to choose you, a rebellious guy, as my messenger... Han Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.

Is this "I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person"?

Han Xiao shook his head, "Let's talk about something practical. No matter which party you have is in power, it doesn't make much difference to me. The Ancient Emperor Party must have put forward a real price when seeking cooperation with the Black Star Legion, and you just

You can't guarantee anything by coming to me so rashly...Forget it, I don't want to say unpleasant words, this conversation can be over."

With that said, Han Xiao put down his wine glass, stood up, and walked towards the door, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Cecilin made nice words, but he didn’t talk about any substantive remuneration. Han Xiao didn’t care about the party struggle of an unfamiliar civilization. The Black Star Legion retained the mercenary business after its transformation, and mercenaries are not good at starting a charity.

.

Violating professional standards is an act without professional ethics and has no practical benefits. Are you just trying to fool a Transcendent A Grade with your words?

You have such a beautiful thought, why can’t I be so beautiful to you?

"Please wait." Cecilin stood up hurriedly, "As you said, it does not matter which party is in power for you. The Pioneer Party will also maintain a cooperative relationship with you. I beg you to help the Pioneer Party, Gural

The stronger the civilization becomes, the more rewards it will bring to you. The ancient imperial party has become corrupt, and the pioneer party is just."

"What does the justice you talk about have to do with me?" Han Xiao didn't even look back. He set up a banner of justice for himself as soon as he spoke. Everyone was just here to mess around, so it would be boring to do this.

His kindness only exists among acquaintances, and is very limited to strangers. This is due to his personality and the indifference created by the times. Moreover, after experiencing so many things, he will not be easily persuaded by outsiders.

"Please help Gural Civilization!"

Boom.

There was a strange sound behind him. Han Xiao looked back and saw Cecillin prostrate on the ground. A natural disaster-level man made the lowest gesture and asked for help. His tone was anxious. He had no other words to say.

After taking a glance, Han Xiao was indifferent, withdrew his gaze and was about to open the door and leave.

At this moment, a task popped up on the panel.

[You trigger the S-level mission [Gural Civilization Pioneer Fire]!]

[Mission introduction: The Gural civilization is a galaxy-level civilization troubled by internal divisions. Serious partisan conflicts have kept this civilization shrouded in war. The civilization has not made progress for many years, and is even retreating. In order to break the deadlock,

As a senior member of the Gudi Party, Cecilin decided to switch to the Pioneer Party and made a request to you]

[Task requirements: Overthrow the rule of the Ancient Emperor Party, eradicate the Advent Party, and make the Pioneer Party the ruler of the Gural Civilization]

[Failure condition: The Pioneer Party is destroyed]

[Reward: After completing the task, the reward depends on the performance evaluation]

"S-level mission?" Han Xiao paused. The coup of a galaxy-level civilization is basically the same as a total war. It is indeed S-level in difficulty. It is difficult for players to control the direction of the internal war of a galaxy-level civilization.

Of course he is different. The Black Star Legion is very powerful and is naturally qualified to intervene in the war of galaxy-level civilization. This task is not difficult for him.

After thinking for a while, Han Xiao did not stop, quietly opened the door and walked out, leaving Cecilin in the room in despair.

S-level missions are indeed attractive, but there is no reason to give missions to the Pioneer Party, but no missions to the Ancient Emperor Party. Han Xiao is rich in experience and can tell at a glance that this must be a series of missions.

Han Xiao is going to communicate with other senior officials of Gural Civilization first, trigger the mission of another party, and then see how to choose.

He has never been obsessive about doing it when a task pops up on the panel.

S-level mission-level war employment is not a trivial matter. Although the Black Star Legion now has a status comparable to that of the star cluster level, it does not mean that it can ignore the galaxy level civilization.

Han Xiao knew very well that although the Black Star Legion had a high status, it had its own factors. After all, the time for the camp's development was limited. The Legion's military power could easily fight a galaxy-level war, but it was still far from a star cluster-level civilization.

Han Xiao actually doesn’t really need the rewards from this mission, and he doesn’t look down on the rewards from galaxy-level civilizations. He cares about this matter mainly for the players.
