<h4>949 High Profile Action</h4>
The territory of the Klent Kingdom bordered the Colton Star Cluster of the Purple Crystal Civilization. They were separated by a deste universe belt and connected together by a stargate. After the secret war ended, both sides lifted the wartime emergency measures and reopened their stargates, allowing people to resume their travels.
Within the observation post of the Seoul Star Cluster stargate, the sentry on duty was cking, turning a blind eye to the fleets entering and exiting the stargate. He held hismunicator in his hand, intently concentrating like the typical lowered-head generation.
Since the end of the secret war, Klent and Purple Crystal had decided to recuperate, while the ck Star Army joined the Crimson Dynasty. There was no chance of war breaking out, so the mentality of the sentries gradually rxed.
They could not be med for theck of professionalism. The main reason was that the vast majority of transit spaceships were subjected to review by the artificial intelligence, and there were few opportunities for manual review, so most of the time, they usually had nothing to do.
“This virtual singer is awesome...”
On the sentry’smunicator was a virtual image of a beautiful Klentan, d in a thin dress and dancing on the side while singing. Her voice was melodious and clear, like springtime.
The sentry on duty was fascinated, shaking his legs frantically while swiping his finger across the screen to send virtual gifts purchased with real cash.
This was an entertainment app popr throughout the universe. The user could customize their favorite avatar based on the aesthetics of different races. In addition to shape, they could also choose its personality. After creating the avatar, the user could interact with others in a variety of ways, such as asking them to sing, dance, or y Wayne Cards online, basically treating them like a real person.
One could also allow the virtual life to be a 3D life-size projection. If one had further needs, they could contact the website to buy a virtual sensory outfit, which would allow them toe into contact with it. This was divided into two categories: Children and Adult.
In this day and age, even with the high degree of interster integration, there were still many people that would prefer to have a virtual friend, brother, child, or partner than a real friend.
What was worth noting was that this popr app was developed by a sub brand of the Limitless Financial Group. The annual revenue obtained was terrifying, with their annual ie already enough to purchase the entirety of Bloodshed Land.
The sentry on duty, whilst obsessed with admiring his dream lover, suddenly heard the cold voice of the artificial intelligence.
“Detected specially marked fleets in transit. Requesting manual review.”
The sentry got a shock and almost threw hismunicator out of the window in fright before settling down. With annoyance at being disturbed, he turned to operate the manual review.
“Who is this idiot that... eh? ck Star Army?”
In that instant, the sentry seemed to have had his soul knocked out and back into him. The party in transit was actually the ck Star Army!
Within the database of such public stargates, they were some specially marked characters, such as the gctic criminals. Because of the grudges of the secret war, Klent had also added the ck Star Army to this marked list. Personnel with the identity of the ck Star Army would be reported upward if they came into Klent territory.
The sentry on duty knew that he had no right to review and immediately notified his team leader. This was passed upyer byyer and sent directly into the mailbox of a senior official.
It did not take long for instructions to be passed down, allowing the ck Star Army to pass.
Soon, a small fleet marked with the emblem of the ck Star Army sailed out of the stargate and turned into a stream of light, leaving only a light trail reflected in the pupils of the sentry.
Although the ck Star Army was allowed to cross the border, the upper echelons of the Klent Kingdom did not know how to deal with this problem.
Normally, the ck Star Army did not have any dealings with them, and they normally would note over to the Seoul Star Cluster.
But to suddenly visit with unknown motives... someone had to follow them to keep tabs on them!
...
Out of Klent’s expectations, the news that the ck Star Army had suddenly visited their territory spread out quickly, being known to many of the organizations and gctic residents of the Shattered Star Ring.
Klent knew that someone should be fanning the news behind the scenes.
Upon thinking about it, probably only the ck Star Army would want to do this. Klent did not understand their approach at first, but they soon realized what they wanted to do when they saw the ck Star Army moving toward Bloodshed Land.
Indeed, it should be thetest movements from the Bloodshed Land that had attracted the ck Star Army!
The truth behind the cooperation of Bloodshed Land and the Limitless Financial Group was not known to Klent, and they only knew that the organizations within the Bloodshed Land were advancing by leaps and bounds, robbing the businesses of the ck Star Army.
Heber was also an ally of theirs, and Klent originally wanted to use some means to hide it, but they discovered it toote.
The news that ‘ck Star Army was going to visit Bloodshed Land’ had long spread. Now, most of the Shattered Star Ring knew that the ck Star Army was prepared to take action against Heber.
This was to the point that the ck Star Army had even publicly announced their flight destination. Every day, the distance from the Bloodshed Land was constantly decreasing.
Under such a high-profile momentum, many gctic residents of the Shattered Star Ring were waiting to watch a good show and eagerly awaited the meeting between the two parties.
Public opinion had already been established, so Klent had their arms and legs tied.
After another half a month, the ck Star Army’s fleet finally arrived at the Bloodshed Land’s headquarters.
...
Above the skies of the Bloodshed Land headquarters, a fleet of spaceships spread all over like a cloud of steel. All the Vanguard Officials were called back to lead different fleets and wait in line.
Heber stood on the surface of the with his hands behind his back, looking up at the deep ck sky with a poker face.
ording to the itinerary announced by the ck Star Army, today would be the day when their fleet was due to arrive.
When he discovered that the ck Star Army wasing to him, Heber knew that it was his premonition surfacing, but this was his territory. He could not run, nor would he run.
Thus, Heber stopped his roaming headquarters, waiting for the arrival of the ck Star fleet, and he intentionally showed that he was not panicking. This was to prevent people from mistakenly thinking that he was afraid of ck Star and thus manipting his headquarters to run, dying the time for them to meet.
In fact, Heber himself did not understand the goal of ck Star’s move. He did not think that ck Star would dare provoke infighting among the dynasty’s allies.
Could it be that this guy just wanted to use this method to deter him?
You are clearly still part of the dynasty, so should I be scared?
Humph, know the answer!
Yes, Heber was rxed at this moment and wanted to see what Han Xiao had in stock.
While he did not think that Han Xiao would be serious, they still had to put up a front, so hemanded his fleet to be on alert.
As for whether the fleet would suddenly take a detour to trick him, Heber never considered this possibility. If they really did so, it would be the ck Star Army that was embarrassing itself.
After waiting for a while, specks of light lit up at the end of his sight and stopped in the blink of an eye not far from Heber, revealing the appearance of the ck Star fleet.
The fleet size of both was iparable. Heber had more than a million spaceships on his side, while the ck Star fleet only numbered dozens.
On the other side, apanying the ck Star fleet was also the Klent fleet, along with many gctic residents and gctic media groups.
Heber snorted, taking out hismunicator and switching on the wide areamunication channel before speaking.
“ck Star, I didn’t invite you, you did not mention in advance that you wereing to visit me, and you are not even here in person... What’s the meaning of this?”
Hearing this, many of the spectators got excited. They could sense the gunpowder in this sentence, and they carefully awaited ck Star’s reply.
After a moment, a cold mechanical voice sounded, without greetings or politeness, going straight into the main point.
“Heber, still remember our unfinished battle?”
Heber suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Without waiting for his answer, Han Xiao’s mechanical host said, “When I first stepped into the Beyond Grade A stage, you challenged me to a duel, and because of the dynasty, I had to agree, but there was no victor.”
“Humph.” Heber coldly snorted. “So, you’re here to send a duel challenge?”
“That’s right,” Han Xiao coldly replied. “When I first reached Beyond Grade A, you wanted to bully me. Now’s a good time for me to settle this debt with you. In twenty days, I’ll fight with you in the Seoul Star Cluster. You can choose the location.”
“Twenty days, heh? Can you even make it back from the dynasty?”
“Rx, only the two million mechanical troops and one of the mechanic hosts in this fleet now will go against you,” Han Xiao slowly said. “I don’t think you’ll be scared, right? Where’s the confidence you had when you fought me? I just stepped into Beyond Grade A a few years ago, but you don’t dare duel me?”
His mechanical life forms were developing in the Flickering World, so Han Xiao did not bring them over this time. Thus, there was only one batch of mechanical soldiers as well as a host, all of which were the reserves of the ck Star Army headquarters. This batch was even manufactured before he hit level 300, so there was no manufacturing bonus at all.
Hearing this, Heber immediately grew annoyed.
After the battle of Lighthouse, Heber suspected that he was not Han Xiao’s opponent, but that was if Han Xiao came personally. Now, he did not even bring a single one of his apostle weapons, and he only wanted to rely on a host and a batch of mechanical soldiers to challenge him?
He was showing Heber zero respect!
“Hahaha...” Heber’s expression was frosty. “You’re just afraid toe over personally, right? Are you scared that you’ll be cornered with nowhere to run? Humph, to use only a bunch of mechanical soldiers to challenge me, even if I destroy all of them, you’re still safe, right?”
“It’s up to you how you want to think. I’ve already issued the challenge. Do you dare ept?” Han Xiao did not bother exining himself.
Heber thought about it and realized that Han Xiao had actually sealed off all his paths of retreat.
First of all, the matter had already blown up, and the Tyrant’s reputation did not allow him to admit defeat. Secondly, when he issued the challenge when Han Xiao first reached Beyond Grade A, the other party had agreed easily to the duel. If he tried to argue back now, it would be embarrassing for him.
Turns out, this was your n all along...
Heber was furious.
Resolving this grudge was just an excuse to force him to be unable to refuse. In essence, this happened because of the recent undermining of the ck Star Army’s businesses. The other party struck into the core of the matter and openly issued a challenge, wanting to use fists to talk, to destroy his prestige.
ck Star, your timing is really good. I’m now riding on the back of a tiger and cannot get down!
Heber smiled through his anger. “Good, I’ll ept your challenge. ck Star, you’ve been too sessful recently and have be arrogant. I’ll give you a free lesson in humility!”
If it was Han Xiao’s main body, it would be different. Heber knew that he was not Han Xiao’s opponent, but if it was just a mechanical host, Heber thought that he would not lose to him.
To actually dare look down on me...
Do you think that my title of Tyrant was obtained through nothing?
“Very well, I’ll wait for the details.”
Seeing that Heber had epted, the ck Star fleet turned back and went away, quickly disappearing from the eyes of everyone present.
“Disperse.” Heber snorted, waving his hands andmanding his fleet to retreat.
He coldly swept his gaze across the spectators before walking back into his pce.
The gctic residents who watched the whole journey became excited immediately.
Many of them had seen the battle between the two men many years ago, and now history was repeating itself before them.
This time, however, the roles were reversed!
“There will be a nice show to watch!”
“Last time, the dynasty came forward to mediate, so there was no clear winner and loser. This time, I don’t know if the dynasty will mediate.”
“I doubt so. They have no reason to intervene. Last time, they didn’t prohibit the Tyrant from issuing the duel, so they cannot do the same for ck Star.”
The countless gctic residents began to chatter and discuss the fight among themselves.
Within the headquarters of the Bloodshed Land, Sorokin sat there with a frown as he watched the ck Star fleet leaving.
ck Star’s move was bold, and there was even a suspicion of infighting. Sorokin had guessed that this situation was a possibility, but he did not expect ck Star to really carry it out.
If he could defeat the Tyrant, ck Star would have the pressure on him alleviated somewhat, but the price of that was that the prestige of the Tyrant would plummet. The Crimson Dynasty was unlikely to sit back and watch this happen, as the deterrent power of their Beyond Grade A allies was equivalent to a bargaining chip of the dynasty.
If you really seed, then my n will again rise in difficulty. Sorokin was lost in thought, his brow tense.
