Chapter 638 In the Chaotic Crimson Tide, Storms Are Forming 2 (1/2)
In the Seoul Star Cluster, Klent Kingdom territory, Bloodshed Land headquarters, Planet Heber…
Inside Heber's palace, the emissary from Klent met with Tyrant to deliver the message from his superiors.
”The Purple Crystal Civilization eliminated the scouting team that we sent to Colton. This is their warning. According to the information transmitted back, the people that attacked the scouting team were all private forces in the Colton Star Cluster. This means that Purple Crystal is creating an alliance. We need to make the corresponding reaction.”
”You guys need my help.”
”Yes. In these two years, Klent has been helping you assemble many private military forces in the Seoul Star Cluster. The size of the Bloodshed Land is many times bigger than two years ago. We plan to form an alliance force with you as its core and secretly invade the Colton Star Cluster, starting a secret war with the Purple Crystal Civilization.”
”Okay.” Heber gave a short and simple reply.
”Although the Dragon Emperor Ames is in Colton, she is basically neutral. However, the Black Star Army under her seems to be on Purple Crystal's side. If Ames interferes, we hope you can deal with her.”
”When it's necessary, I will.” Heber shook his head.
Back at the party, Dragon Emperor and Black Star did not directly reject the Crimson Dynasty's invitation. After that, they did not make any decision. However, even if the Floating Dragon decided to choose the Crimson Dynasty's side, they were still not his ally. The two of them had different goals and were in two opposing Star Cluster Civilizations. The Crimson Dynasty did not mind their chess pieces fighting each other. The more chaotic the situation, the better.
Klent was willing to step forward and execute the Crimson Dynasty's belief of being as high profile as possible. With such a strong backer, Klent had been more and more daring over the prior two years, especially toward neutral civilizations not under any of the three Universal Civilizations such as Purple Crystal.
The Seoul Star Cluster under Klent's rule was the second smallest Star Cluster in all of the Shattered Star Ring, as well as Colton's neighbor. Klent was very ambitious; their goal was not only just taking a bite on the profits of the Flickering World but also to get their hands on the Colton Star Cluster. Although they maintained a good relationship with Purple Crystal on the surface, they secretly wanted to snatch a few Star Systems from Purple Crystal.
Of course, this would not have worked out in the past. However, now that the Crimson Dynasty wanted to stir things up, the restriction of the peace treaty suddenly became much weaker. The strong had the right to make rules. The laws and balance in the galaxy seemed unbreakable in the eyes of normal people, but to the three Universal Civilizations, they were very fragile. The other civilizations were just players that had to obey the game rules they had set.
Even Heber felt that the Klents were very greedy.
However, this suited what he wanted. He needed an ambitious ally, not an ally content with what they had. The greedier they were, the more they would rely on him.
Heber stood up. His gigantic body cast a shadow over the Klent emissary.
”I understand what Klent wants. Go back and tell your boss that I will be in charge of this war. They don't have to worry about anything.”
The Klent emissary nodded and smiled with the confidence of a certain victory.
The difference between the Bloodshed Land and the alliance force built by Purple Crystal was like an iron fist and a plate of sand. For this secret war, Klent had been preparing for two years. Purple Crystal's reaction only came much later. This meant that they were at a disadvantage before the war even started.
With the Tyrant, Heber, taking care of the situation, demolishing Purple Crystal's alliance force was just a matter of time.
Through continuous victories, the Bloodshed Land had never disappointed Klent before.
…
Shana returned to the headquarters that were shockingly in an area so remote it was the desolate area at the edge of the Shattered Star Ring. There was absolutely nobody around; it was a truly unpopulated area.
All the Star Fields had desolate areas that very few stepped into. Their characteristics as a whole were that there were very few planets, hardly any resources, and no signs of life. Some wanted or mysterious organizations would occasionally choose these desolate areas as the location for their headquarters.
When Shana entered the headquarters, all of her colleagues were waiting. Other than Eliot, there were four others. They all wore different masks and gave off a vibe of unfathomable strength. They were all looking at Shana.
With a husky voice like an old man at the end of his days, a short man among them slowly said, ”You failed and exposed your face. For the next few years, you will replace Adrian to guard the headquarters. He will go out to carry out missions with Eliot.
”Humph.” Shana was not happy about it but did not object. This was their internal rule. In order for them not to be targeted by anyone, once someone failed, the person working in the field had to be swapped.
This secret organization had very few members, but they were all elites.
Adrian was a muscular and tall male being with the characteristics of a Beastman. He took out a palm-sized metal disk and threw to Shana. ”It's your turn to guard the headquarters. Enjoy the boring times.”
This metal disk was one of the specially made keys of the jail inside the headquarters. There were four of those keys.
All the captured targets on the list would be locked up in the prison. Usually, four of them would be guarding the headquarters, and two of them would go out to capture the targets on the list. This was their usual way of doing things.
Eliot shrugged and said, ”Looks like we can't be partners. Shame, I always thought we worked very well together.”
Adrian pointed at himself and said, ”I'm your old partner, too.”
