Chapter 722 - Going to War (1/2)

Han Xiao committed Summer Night Flower’s name to memory before throwing this matter to the back of his mind.

This was something that would definitely happen. Players were explorers after all; there would be some who wanted to seek something fresh. Since this could not be avoided, Han Xiao could only let nature take its course.

Only the crops that went through wind and rain would be truly precious.

After browsing through the forums for a while, Han Xiao suddenly felt the sofa tremble slightly, and someone sat down beside him. Turning around to look, it turned out to be Reynold.

“Not playing cards anymore?”

“Lagi dragged Feidin over. What’s the damn point of playing?” Reynold replied expressionlessly.

Han Xiao then chuckled before casually saying, “You must let me know if you have any requests.”

“No.”

“Think about it carefully again. Don’t need to worry about troubling me. You must let me know if you have any problems…”

Reynold had a strange look on his face. “Why do you ask me this question every month or

so?”

“It’s just me showing concern for my subordinates…” Han Xiao let out a dry cough. In order to obtain Reynold’s Perfect Mechanical Sense, Han Xiao showed concern to Reynold every now and then in an attempt to trigger a mission.

However, ever since Han Xiao saved Rossellin, not a single mission had appeared from Reynold again. Just when would he be able to finally obtain the Perfect Mechanical Sense talent?

Should I get some people to kidnap Rossellin so that Reynold will seek my help to save her?

“Your Excellency Black Star, how long do you think this war will last?” Reynold suddenly asked.

Han Xiao thought for a moment before saying, “If you were to ask for my opinion, a war represents opportunity, and the longer the war, the better. However, this war can only be considered ordinary when compared to the other galactic wars, which last hundreds of years. As long as the Crimson Dynasty finishes their negotiations with the Federation of Light, Klent will retreat. According to some intel that I received, the Universal Civilizations will probably finish their negotiations in a few

years.”

Reynold shook his head. “Looking at the current situation, Klent has completed almost half of their plan. When the Crimson Dynasty has fulfilled their wish, they will help Klent redraw the territorial borders of the Seoul Star Cluster and include the few Star Clusters conquered by Bloodshed Land in the territory of their Seoul Star Cluster. If Purple Crystal doesn’t find a backer, they won’t get any help for sure.”

“That’s right. An independent civilization will have to endure all this,” Han Xiao replied. He had some thoughts of his own but did not feel that it was necessary to let Reynold know about them. After pausing for a while, he continued, “However, even after the end of the secret war, the Crimson Tide won’t disappear quickly. It is just like how a rock being thrown into still waters won’t only create a splash but ripples as well.

“There are numerous civilizations in the galaxy, and they all have their own desires for more, which is like extremely combustible firewood. The Crimson Tide is like a spark to light up their dormant desires. The moment their desires are ignited, they won’t be extinguished easily.

“Purple Crystal also know that they cannot let Bloodshed Land occupy so many Star Systems. The purpose of this battle is to organize a large-scale retaliation, clear out all the strongholds that Bloodshed Land have in the Kant Star System, and snatch back control of the entire Star System. This is the largest military operation that Purple Crystal has launched since the start of the war, and they are sending out almost all their forces.”

In two days’ time, the Black Star Army would be officially deployed to meet up with the other members of Section Zero and head toward the Kant Star System.

This time, he was prepared to give the players a chance to show off their abilities and give all the dirty work to the players. More importantly, he wanted to groom the players and make them perform more war missions so that his crops could grow up healthily.

Since the players would not die, if they did not go to hell, who would?

Furthermore, the overall gaming experience would be better if the game was more dangerous. If the players did not experience some deaths, they would not be motivated at all.

Summer Night Flower had his eyes fixed on the forums, paying attention to the replies to his posts. Disagreements formed the majority of the replies, and his expression became ugly as he saw them.

He had only managed to create this post after some deep thought, and Summer Night Flower had felt extremely delighted at that moment. The way he saw it, he would definitely be able to knock many of the players awake and lead them in the right direction, gaining their praise in the process.

However, the reaction to the post was completely contrary to his expectations, and most of the players sided with the Black Star Army. Most of the replies were extremely sarcastic and said that his post was completely worthless and no more than a blind guess. This made Summer Night Flower extremely infuriated.

“These people do not know how to think at all!”

As Summer Night Flower saw more and more sarcastic replies, his mood became terrible, and he decided not to read the replies anymore.

Summer Night Flower edited his post and added, “All of you will know who is right and who is wrong when the truth verifies my thoughts. At that time, it will be too late for all of you to regret!”

At the same time, another player called ‘Hate the Heavens’ also saw Summer Night Flower’s post.

Hate the Heavens had always felt that he was extremely good at spotting hidden storylines that no one knew about. He was also an avid reader of the post by Galaxy Chronicles and had even set up a small guild for players who enjoyed digging up hidden storylines.

When he saw the post, Hate the Heavens immediately felt that Summer Night Flower must be right.

The Main Storyline would not give them a meaningless faction, so there must be a hidden storyline in Klent!

Hate the Heavens made his decision and sent a link to Summer Night Flower’s post to all the members in his guild.

“All of you look at this post. I think that it is extremely logical, and I plan to join the Klent faction.”

The guild immediately broke out into commotion.

“You must consider this matter carefully Guild Leader! You will be screwed if your guess is wrong!”

“I think that it makes sense. Guild Leader, count me in. This trip will definitely be interesting.”

“Guild Leader, how are you planning to join them? I don’t think we have a path to join them, right?”

“I searched for some information, and there is a news report of Bloodshed Land hiring soldiers in Colton,” Hate the Heavens replied. “I think that there will be a chance to join the enemy if we go to the frontline stronghold of the enemy alone. We can make use of this opportunity to change factions.”

“This can be considered betrayal, right? We won’t be able to return to the army again in future,” another person added.

“So what if we can’t return? Bloodshed Land is a large faction, and it may not be any worse than the Black Star Army. Furthermore, we may have the chance to come in contact with the Crimson Dynasty in the future,” Hate the Heavens replied indifferently.

“All of these are guesses. Guesses can be

wrong.”

“I feel that it can’t be wrong.” Hate the Heavens shook his head. “Besides, with so many players being in the Black Star Army faction, we will know about any developments in the army. However, no one has triggered the hidden storyline in the Klent faction, and I want to play a storyline that no one knows about…”

“But the benefits of the Black Star Army are so
