Chapter 766: Blood Devil Mercenaries
After secretly mocking the Star Empire and Li Yu, Xinghuo remained calm on the surface and turned his attention back to Yinying.
"I accept your suggestion."
For him, opening up the desolate universe belt was nothing worth refusing.
Anyway, in this interstellar space, their living space has been compressed to the extreme.
The two reached a preliminary agreement, but some issues remained unresolved.
But both parties wisely did not ask further questions, as trust needs to be built step by step.
The two of them quickly left here and began to discuss the detailed plan of cooperation.
…
A few days later, on a commercial planet somewhere in the Star Empire, the Third Pioneer, who had disguised himself as a first-class imperial citizen, walked down from the spaceship with his head held high .
That arrogant attitude couldn't be more alike.
However, when passing through the checkpoint, the officer responsible for identity verification looked at the document in his hand with some confusion.
But before he could ask any questions, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes. He involuntarily pressed the pass button and the certificate was returned to him.
After safely passing the inspection checkpoint, the third pioneer quickly came to a commercial apartment and opened a room according to the building number he remembered.
Stored inside is a highly disguised encrypted communication device.
He quickly activated the communication device. The white noise on the screen gradually disappeared, and the noise coming from the audio channel was replaced by a vigilant question.
"Code?"
"＊＊＊＊"
The third pioneer uttered a series of codes. After a moment of silence in the audio channel, there was a scream and the sound of something falling to the ground.
"It's you, the third pioneer officer. Are you safe?" The other party's tone was a little excited.
The third vanguard officer was a little impatient and said, "Inform the leader as soon as possible that I have escaped from prison and prepare to send someone to pick me up."
"This..." The communicator's tone seemed a little hesitant.
"Third Forerunner, the leader asked us to issue an order not to initiate any support operations against you."
"Why?" The third pioneer was a little confused. He didn't think that the organization had given up on him, but that something must have happened that he didn't know about.
"The leader has issued an order. If you contact me, I will tell you that Li Yu's strength is already enough to fight against super life forms."
"The communication time has exceeded one minute and will be disconnected soon. Please take care."
After the beeping sound, a burning smell was also heard from inside the encrypted communication equipment.
A yellow-black liquid flowed out from under the machine, which seemed to be the product of dissolved metal.
The third pioneer was a little dazed at this moment.
Enough to fight against super life forms?
How... is this possible!?
Originally, he thought it was amazing enough that the other party could confront him head-on in such a short time.
However, now his leader told him that the opponent's strength was even stronger than previously shown.
This means that escaping from the other party would be a joke.
It was obvious that he was released on purpose and was used as bait for fishing.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt cold all over, as if someone was staring at him.
He subconsciously clenched his fists and used his own abilities to circulate throughout his body but did not find anything abnormal, nor any signs of being tracked.
His expression was uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
More than half a month passed in a flash. Lloyd hurriedly found him that day and told him a piece of news: "The Forerunners have started to act again."
"oh?"
Li Yu casually threw the card in his hand into the system space.
[Special Item - Plant Carnival: You can control nearby plants for a short period of time and give them extraordinary toxicity. ]
This is another reward that is of no use to him now.
"In fact, we discovered this kind of trace some time ago, but we have been trying to confirm the news." Lloyd continued:
"Not long ago, the Black Stone Research Base of the Barotaros Civilization was robbed, and a large number of Black Stone Cores were stolen. According to the clues, it should be done by the Forerunners."
Black stone core, this is a special material used in high-precision instruments.
There are many kinds of similar materials, and the black stone core is definitely one of the best.
"The Barotaros civilization seems to be very far away from the Star Empire." Li Yu thought for a while and said.
"That's right..." Lloyd nodded: "Even with the help of the jump star gates of multiple civilizations, it will take at least more than a month to reach Barotalos."
"We suspect this is their ploy to divert our attention from the Third Forerunner, and then they will implement the rescue plan."
Li Yu did not comment and glanced at the position of the third pioneer. He had been on that planet for a long time without moving.
Since he released the third vanguard, he naturally had the means to find the other party.
[Special item - Tracking marker: lock the target's location at any time. ]
This was the reward that No. 3 had received before. It only had a simple tracking function and was of little use to him.
It was due to an accidental incident, and someone used it to track him down and find out his origins.
This kind of reward can only work at certain specific times, and he has a lot of such small rewards.
The location of that planet is in the heart of the Star Empire and is not a suitable place for reception.
With the ability of the Third Pioneer, without using special methods such as using the Mirror of Omniscience to track.
It is almost impossible to detect it through normal screening methods.
If the Forerunners were really going to save him, the Third Forerunner shouldn't be staying in a place like this.
"Your plan worked. We thought we had let the Third Pioneer escape for nothing." Lloyd sighed.
What the Star Empire fears is not the actions of the Forerunners, but their inaction.
Once it enters a dormant state, there is really no clue left.
Now that we are moving again, there will always be a chance to find out more information by following the clues.
…
On the other side, the Hist Interstellar Corridor is a group of civilizations consisting of more than 236 civilizations.
A fleet was intercepted by a small fleet marked with the emblem of the Star Empire. After a fierce battle, all the members of the fleet were captured.
On the deck of the main ship, the charred body of the fleet leader fell to the ground.
All the younger brothers nearby were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, covered with wounds, trembling and not daring to look up. Standing around them was a group of soldiers wearing the Star Empire's advanced individual combat uniforms.
The leader was an interstellar human wearing more advanced combat armor and a badge on his chest representing his position as captain.
Parade or cruising fleets patrol within civilized territory, similar to the role of the police.
Civilizations with a little bit of ability will also train teams that specialize in external operations. They are like agents but are open to the public.
The captain of the Star Empire paced in front of the fleet, speaking slowly:
"Three days ago, you left the Kansanian civilization, carrying with you a large amount of source crystal ore obtained through illegal means."
Pop .
The captain of the Star Empire suddenly stopped in front of this fleet.
He pinched the black tentacles on his chin, forced him to look up and meet his sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me, what is the relationship between you and the Forerunners?"
“And why steal this resource on such a large scale.”
"I...we don't know either."
"It's just that the captain asked us to transport some things at a certain port."
This member of the fleet stuttered, almost in tears, and he was obviously not a member of the Forerunners.
The true members of the pioneers had been wiped out in the recent battle, and they would rather die than surrender.
They are just a bunch of unlucky people.
"Where are the things now?!" he asked coldly.
"Yesterday...yesterday a team of mercenaries took over and temporarily relocated it."
"Transfer? What mercenaries?" he asked.
"It's the Blood Devil Mercenaries!"
The captain of the Star Empire's eyes flashed, and he pulled up the information of this mercenary group.
"A mercenary group that was established less than a year ago, mainly undertaking frontline business. There are two A-level life forms, a troll and an interstellar human..."
He whispered: "Two A-level life forms, it's a bit tricky..."
"Report to the A-level alliance and request assistance from the A-level life forms near the Hist Interstellar Corridor. Hmm..." He paused for a moment and added, "No need to take action, just serve as a deterrent."
"Understood..." The subordinate obeyed the order and turned back to work.
Positive business basically includes escorting caravans and tasks such as small civilizations dealing with harassment from marauders.
Generally speaking, such mercenary groups can negotiate and there should be no conflicts.
Even though the Star Empire overlooks the interstellar space, it is difficult for these small soldiers to raise the banner when it comes to specific actions.
The captain of the Star Empire narrowed his eyes. The general plan had already formed in his mind. He abandoned the fleet, turned around and left, leaving behind a few words.
"Let's go and find these people!"
"Also, eliminate all traces here!"
With the support of a big tree and huge resources, it was not difficult for them to find a mercenary corps.
Just report the message directly and wait for the coordinates given by the upper level.
…
A few days later, a fleet was sailing in the bizarre jump channel.
Keller walked with her slender long legs, and her heels made a clanging sound as they stepped on the metal corridor.
She looked even more enchanting, her red lips as bright as fire.
"Hello, Chief!"
The men who passed by were stiff, looking straight ahead, and shouted greetings.
They didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until Keller walked far away.
When I pushed open the door of the training room, as expected, I saw a burly figure sweating profusely.
"Big guy, I knew you were here." Keller raised his eyebrows and jumped lightly, sitting on Tu Ying's shoulders, crossing his legs. His tight combat uniform outlined a graceful curve.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of collision in front continued to ring out, and the special training dummy in front of Tu Ying was almost overwhelmed and was about to collapse completely.
His movements were very large, but Keller, who was sitting on his shoulders, did not show any signs of shaking.
"I'm your brother, not a big guy." Tu Ying's voice was as dull as ever.
"Got it, got it..." Keller said nonchalantly, "Our business has been cut a lot recently. The Hasev Corps is going to use shady tactics."
"Our prices are lower than theirs. They have been monopolizing this market for nearly a thousand years. They will naturally not give up if we disrupt it."
Even when Tu Ying was undergoing intensive training, his tone of voice remained calm.
"Damn them, don't they know how much wealth they have earned from the Hist Interstellar Corridor? Yet they are still not satisfied." Keller gritted his teeth and said:
"We just happened to be employed here, and they suppressed us in various ways."
"They are very powerful, with more than ten A-level life forms, but I am surprised that they only suppress our business." Tu Ying said.
"If they dare to attack us, we will have no choice but to overturn the table." There was a dangerous gleam in Keller's scarlet pupils.
"Mobilizing the Transformation Corps will expose our identities. Uncle Yu said that once our identities are exposed, we should go back." Tu Ying stopped and said, "Do you want to go back?"
“Although I miss my mother a little, I don’t want to go back yet…” Keller shook his head.
"That's all. Wait a minute. I feel like I'm about to break through. Once I become an A2-level life form, I should be able to challenge their leader."
"Or, just leave this civilization?"
"No!" Keller shook his head decisively: "The Hasev Corps illegally resells slaves and even racial children. Damn it!"
"I can't forget the children on that spaceship!" Her expression was full of murderous intent.
They have been out for more than half a year and have experienced a lot, especially Keller, who is no longer the same girl.
Tu Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "Then let's destroy them."
While the two were talking, an alarm suddenly sounded from the battleship -
"A warp interception device has been discovered. We are about to be forced to exit the warp state. Please prepare for the impact."
Keller and Tu Ying's faces changed slightly. They looked at each other, quickly walked out of the training room and came to the command room.
The subordinates who have undergone rigorous training are working in an orderly manner.
"Someone is intercepting us. Could it be the Hasfu Corps? Are they finally unable to hold back and take action?" Keller frowned slightly.
"I don't know..." Tu Ying's eyes were calm: "If the enemy comes, we will fight him; if the water comes, we will block it with earth!"
"Don't learn from Uncle Yu..." Keller rolled his eyes, destroying the momentum that Tu Ying had worked so hard to build up, and glared at her fiercely.
