Chapter 733 Protecting the Law
“Brother, are you here yet?”
“Soon, soon.”
A small spaceship was parked on the brown desolate land. Sumr Night Flower and the others were waiting beside the spaceship.
Very soon, another spaceship landed beside them. The people in it got out of the spaceship, looked around, and greeted Sumr Night Flower.
“Where’s the stuff?” Sumr Night Flower approached.
“Where’s the money?” the person helping to do the purchases replied.
“Didn’t I make the transfer long ago?” Sumr Night Flower said with resignation.
“Ha, I just wanted to paint the atmosphere of an illegal trade. Didn’t it feel very dramatic?”
The person chuckled. Seeing that Sumr Night Flower was expressionless, he could only wipe the smile off his face awkwardly and take him into the cabin to see the stuff.
“There, this is all the stuff you wanted. Count it. Don’t say I scamd you.”
Sumr Night Flower scanned through and calculated in his mind that the quantity was all correct. Only then did he say, “No need to, I trust you.”
This ti, the person helping to make the purchase rubbed his hands with a slightly embarrassed expression and said, “You know, we’ve known each other for many years. We’re quite close, right?”
Sumr Night Flower was a little confused. “What are you saying?”
“I’m asking you, are we good friends that play together?”
“Why?”
“Since we’re friends, can you sacrifice yourself and let kill you a few tis to earn so bounties?” the person asked cautiously. “After all, you can’t accept the Bounty Missions from the army. Instead of letting others kill you, I can split thirty percent of the bounty with you.”
“Piss off.” Sumr Night Flower was speechless. Thirty percent? How is that little bounty reward going to make up for the experience I lose from dying?
“Stop talking nonsense. You’ve brought the stuff, so I’m taking it away,” Sumr Night Flower said as he was about to pick up the equipnt.
This ti, the person suddenly pressed on his hand and chuckled, “No, I think it’s better for to keep it for you temporarily.”
“What do you an? Are you trying to con ?” Sumr Night Flower was furious. His friends around him all ca closer with hostile looks on their faces, implying they would not hesitate to kill for the equipnt.
The person helping to buy the equipnt did not panic at all. He slowly said, “This is for your own good. You might be robbed very soon if you’re carrying new equipnt.”
Sumr Night Flower suddenly had a bad feeling
At this ti, the sound of spaceships landing ca from outside. Small spaceships landed on the ground one after another, and a huge group of players rushed out.
The expression of Sumr Night Flower and the rest changed drastically. He knew that these people were there for the bounty. He turned to look at the person who had helped to purchase the equipnt in disbelief. “You betrayed ?”
“Look at it yourself.” The person curled his lips and took out the communicator. On it was the location of the person wanted by the army, which was the location of Sumr Night Flower and the rest of the people. Their coordinates were constantly monitored. This trade was not a secret to the other players at all.
“Why didn’t I know about this?” Sumr Night Flower was stunned. Then he realized with resignation that his army program had automatically been uninstalled.
The Phillip sub-program of these players beca a background monitoring device that sent their coordinates to the nearby Black Star Army mbers at all tis. It was like a constant reminder to the army mbers nearby. Sumr Night Flower and the others were as conspicuous as sheep passing through a pack of wolves, except they did not know it at all.
Only the players nearby would receive the coordinates. Sumr Night Flower and the rest had only gone to Stronghold W-58 not long ago, so only the players in Periter 027 received the coordinates. They thought that this was just a mission reminder, so no one discussed it on the forums. Thus, Sumr Night Flower and the rest had no idea.
Suddenly, Sumr Night Flower realized sothing. With a face of shock, he said, “Wait a minute, you knew that our coordinates were exposed all long, yet you didn’t tell and even did not cancel the trade?”
“Sorry, I’m the cop.”
“Speak like a human being!”
The person smiled and said, “Sigh, I have to make a living, okay? Since you’re already here, it’s a waste not to kill you. Like I said, instead of letting others take the bounty, just let take it. I will split thirty percent with you.”
Sumr Night Flower’s mouth shivered. He pointed at him and could not say a word.
So, you had an ulterior motive all along!
This was a trap!
I saw you as a friend, but you wanted to deceive ?
What happened to basic trust between people?
If the furious looks on the Klent faction players around them could turn into knives, Sumr Night Flower would have been sliced into a thousand pieces.
Looking at the quickly approaching players, Sumr Night Flower hastily raised his hand with a face full of grief. The person helping to do the purchase thought that he wanted to fight, so he quickly jumped back a few ters. To his surprise, Sumr Night Flower stood in place and raised four fingers.
“Forty percent!”
The person’s eye sparkled. He kindly reminded Sumr Night Flower and said, “Rember to choose the faction revive point when reviving, or you’ll get killed another ti.”
“Thank you so f*cking much!” Sumr Night Flower clenched his teeth so hard it sounded like pieces of tal rubbing against each other.
Woosh!
With a familiar flash of white light, Sumr Night Flower returned to Stronghold W-58. His face was filled with grief, but he had no tears to cry.
This is so tiring. I shouldn’t have co to Klent...
The mont Sumr Night Flower thought that, he quickly eliminated it. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and convinced himself to believe in his analysis.
Although the path ahead would be twisted, he still believed that the future of the Klent faction was brighter.
“I will definitely be able to earn back the damages suffered now.” Sumr Night Flower encouraged himself then left the revive point. He was not planning to beco the target of the rage of the rest of the Klent players.
This ti, a ssage appeared on the interface. It was his friend that helped to make the purchase.
“I’ll hold onto your stuff for now. Let’s find another ti to et again.”
Sumr Night Flower was filled with rage.
You want to scam another ti?
“Piss of! Refund!”
Han Xiao saw this small incident on the forums. A player made a post to show off that he got the first kill of the traitor. He felt this was sothing worth praising, so he sent extra experience and Enas through the faction interface.
The analysis post of Sumr Night Flower beca popular again. Many were mocking him and laughing at it. Sumr Night Flower said that him getting killed was nothing; it was just a usual faction conflict, and the storyline in the future would prove that he was right. He was clearly very stubborn.
After killing so ti, a day later, Rexson gathered the troops and attacked Stronghold W-58.
With Han Xiao’s current experience, he had seen many small galactic skirmishes fought around a single stronghold. He did not even need to observe the battlefield to know what would happen.
The fleets fought intensely. Han Xiao was observing from the flagship and did not participate, nor did he let Hila and Feidin participate. Seeing that there were countless deaths on both sides, only then did he turn to look at Hila.
“Try the effect of absorbing souls of the dead on the battlefield.”
Hila nodded. A tint of red light flashed across her eyes. Then, black red energy covered her entire body. It was like she suddenly grew more than twenty centiters taller and gave off a vibe of an ancient God-rciless, enormous, and solemn.
In the wide galactic battlefield, gray fog appeared in the countless spaceship wreckages floating in space. They ford countless gray snakes and gathered into Hila’s hand through thousands of miles.
The remaining energy of all the warriors that died on the battlefield was absorbed by her.
Hila exhaled deeply, clenched her fists, and said, “Both the strength and range of my Esper ability are enhanced. That saved at least half a year’s ti.”
“Great, it works.” Han Xiao was delighted. This was good news. The quicker Hila beca stronger, the earlier she would be able to fight in his place. He would be able to let Hila help him get rid of those unimportant enemies.
He decided to call the quick growth thod exclusive to Hila ‘Gray Soul Absorption’. It was almost like a cheat.
At this ti, a strange energy suddenly exploded in the middle of the battlefield. From the fleet of the Stronghold W-58, three Calamity Grades flew out. The interference of high-level combatants quickly toppled the balance of the battlefield and beca sothing that Rexson’s troops could not deal with. Originally, they were only slightly at a disadvantage, but they were now constantly forced to retreat.
Inside the flagship, the deputy exclaid with shock, “Why are there three Calamity Grades? The intelligence says that there’s only Manudo!”
However, not only did Rexson not panic, he even smiled instead.
“It doesn’t matter if there’s three of them. With Black Star here, even if it were thirty...” Rexson paused. Although he was extrely confident in Han Xiao, he still did not dare exaggerate too much. He coughed and then said, “Even if there were 13 of them, His Excellency Black Star would still kill them all.”
At this ti, the scenery viewing window of the flagship zood in and focused on Manudo.
In the window, Manudo did a provocative sign toward the flagship, and the flagship received a video ssage from Manudo. His pale face appeared on the screen. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he had a very twisted mocking expression on his face.
“Black Star! I know you’re in there. Don’t hide. I’m not afraid of you. Us three Grade A Supers are challenging you right here. Do you dare accept it? Hahaha!”
In the end, Manudo laughed stiffly as sweat rolled down his face. The skin on his face was even shivering as if he was about to cry, and he was barely keeping up the ferocious expression.
The people in the flagship command room had strange expressions on their faces.
The enemy is taunting us, but why does it feel so unconfident?
Han Xiao held his forehead. Taunting with such bad acting skills, are you serious?
Rexson turned to Han Xiao and respectfully said, “Your Excellency Black Star, we can’t deal with Calamity Grades. Please help.”
In his eyes, if Han Xiao attacked, killing three normal Calamity Grade Supers would be a piece of cake.
However, Han Xiao shook his head and patted Hila’s thin waist. “These three people are yours.”
Despite having to face three opponents of the sa grade, Hila did not look troubled at all. She turned and prepared to strike imdiately. She was soone not afraid of obstacles and was happy to conquer them. Since Han Xiao could fight multiple opponents of the sa grade, Hila took this as her target as well. She had very high requirents for herself.
Furthermore, she also wanted to fight strong enemies and test her limits so that she could gain a clearer idea of where she stood in the Calamity Grade.
Manudo and the other two attacked the battleships while waiting for Han Xiao to appear. To Manudo, every second was torture. It was as if he had stepped into the execution ground and was waiting for the blade to land on his head. If not for Jorde’s orders, he would have run away imdiately.
Jorde was also observing the battlefield remotely, waiting for Han Xiao to appear.
This ti, a dark red teor appeared in the eyes of those people at an extrely high speed. It headed right toward the three of them. A Grade A Cannon Master beside Manudo fired from far away. High energy particle beams landed on the dark red teor one after another, slowly reducing its speed.
However, the next mont, this dark red teor suddenly erupted and released thousands of red energy beams that almost covered half of the entire battlefield. These energies were extrely thick, like thousands of enormous pythons. They spun their head and crashed into the Bloodshed Land fleet.
Manudo and the other two people were also hit by dozens of almost solid red energy beams. Other than having the usual heat and explosive damage, Hila’s energy beams also gave the three of them psychic damages. They hastily backed away with shock.
“This energy is very strange.”
“This energy beam tried to absorb my spiritual body away like tentacles with suction cups.”
As the tsunami-like red energy release ended, Hila appeared. The black-red armor on her body was focused on mobility and enhancing energy release. She did not wear a helt, but her head was covered by a half-transparent energy layer, providing life functions and a wide vision.
Manudo was shocked. He had expected Black Star to attack, but who was this woman?
“Is there such a person in the Black Star Army?”
“It doesn’t show on the intelligence. Could she be a new officer?”
“She’s very strong. I feel a sense of threat from her.”
The three of them spoke in their communication channel. They all felt the pressure.
Jorde, who was remotely spectating, was also confused. He carefully sized Hila up and was sure that he had never seen this person before, yet Black Star had sent her to fight three Calamity Grades alone. Was this because he believed in her strength?
“The Black Star Army sure has a lot of talents.”
Jorde clenched his teeth. Seeing that Black Star was not going to fight, he had no choice but to tell Manudo and the others to fight with Hila and see how strong Hila was.
At the sa ti, the others on the battlefield also noticed the confrontation between the high-level combatants.
The Black Star Army players saw Hila’s look and were shocked.
“Aye, this beauty looks kind of familiar.”
“I rember, isn’t this Hila who appeared in both 1.0 and 2.0?”
“That’s right. It’s her. I thought she’d died by Version 3.0, but it turns out she’s still alive and much stronger.”
“She appeared in the mid to later stages in Version 2.0. When did she join our army?”
“If I rember correctly, when Black Star went deep into the Germinal Organization’s base in Version 1.0, it was to rescue her. Could she be the captain’s old lover?”
“Oh...”
Many players let out aningful grunts before quietly activating the video recording function.
