The Legendary Mechanic Chapter 788 - Migration and Negotiation

Chapter 788 Migration and Negotiation

Boom!

Two huge wooden barrels clashed together, and amber-colored liquid splashed out from the edge.

Harmon raised his head, gobbled it down, and exhaled with satisfaction.

Han Xiao shook his head with a smile and drank so too. The spicy alcohol flew down his throat. The ethanol was broken down as soon as it entered his body. To him, this was no different from water.

They were sitting in the Rockfall Tribe’s flagship on the way back. Harmon had invited Han Xiao and the others to visit his ho.

Usually, battles were unavoidable in the process of fighting to beco the chief. However, because of Han Xiao’s appearance, the other candidates had given up in despair. The chief position had gone to Harmon without question. Overjoyed, Harmon hosted a party on the ship.

They were old friends, so Han Xiao, of course, gave him face.

“Congratulations to the next Rockfall Chief.” The other chiefs of the Luhan Beastman Civilization ca to congratulate Harmon one after another, all looking at Han Xiao with envy.

They had no idea how Harmon had such a good relationship with a Beyond Grade A. The War League of the tribe’s chief signified his network. With a Beyond Grade A friend, those chiefs knew very well that the Rockfall Tribe would rise after Harmon took on the position.

Watching Harmon be congratulated by his people, Han Xiao pondered. In his previous life, this storyline mission had been simple and rough—fighting from the start till the end. Harmon would then obtain the chief position through battle. Now, due to his interference, there was no battle. Therefore, he did not think any Dungeon Crystal would be created.

However, this did not matter to Han Xiao—he was not interested in such a little mission reward. He had gone to help because of his more than a decade long friendship with Harmon. Harmon had joined him when the Black Star Army was still the Black Star rcenary Group. Han Xiao was never petty in helping an old friend such as Harmon, just like how he had treated Herlous.

On the table beside them, as Hadavy stuffed a huge chunk of Beastman-style burnt at into his mouth, his eyes kept drifting toward Harmon. He moved his butt over to beside Hila and said softly, “Black Star has quite a good relationship with that Beastman. Is he always so caring about his officers?”

Hila was frowning and staring at the object that looked sowhat like an eyeball of a beast at the bottom of her cup. Hearing Hadavy’s question, she glanced at him. Her eyes seed to be saying, Get away from .

Ignored, Hadavy moved his butt to beside Feidin and softly said, “Brother Feidin, is Black Star always this good to his subordinates?”

Feidin rolled his eyes.

“Go away, I’m Chen Xing.”

Not far away, a group of players gathered and chatted while looking around at the many famous Black Star Guards.

“I heard Black Star is heading to the Bloodshed Land’s headquarters this ti. Could he be going there to make trouble?”

“No idea. But Black Star is going to et the Tyrant again. There’ll definitely be a good show.”

After Harmon’s War League mission was completed, Han Xiao gave these players new missions through the faction interface to make them follow him.

Although he initially did not plan to take players along to the Tyrant’s party, leaving these people halfway in the Seoul Star Cluster was not suitable. He did not want to lose this stack of leeks. Therefore, he gave them a following mission with a rich reward so that they would not run around.

Bun-Hit-Dog was not there, but there were still people posting his whereabouts on the forums. Now all the players knew that As and he were going to the Bloodshed Land headquarters together. So even said that they were on a honeymoon trip to fight with Heber—which was very Beyond Grade A like.

Ever since Han Xiao and As ford an alliance, there had always been discussions about them being a couple on the forums. The players felt they were perfect for each other, and there was definitely sothing going on between them. Soone even wrote an adult novel about Black Star rising in position to conquer this capable woman, and it was rather popular.

“Your Excellency Black Star...”

While drinking, Han Xiao heard soone call his na at the side. Han Xiao looked over. It was Faleta, who looked like he had sothing to say.

“What is it?” Han Xiao smiled. He was Harmon’s elderly father, after all, so Han Xiao’s tone was very friendly.

Faleta coughed and said, “Can we talk in private?”

Han Xiao nodded, put down the cup, and walked out of the party hall with Faleta. They ca to an empty corridor on the flagship.

“What is it?”

“Your Excellency Black Star, I’m wondering... what’s the exact relationship between you and Harmon?” Faleta asked cautiously.

“He joined under my command more than a decade ago and has given a lot of help. When my mother planet faced a disaster, he was there to help . I agreed to join his War League before I was even a Calamity Grade. Therefore, you don’t have to worry. I don’t have any ulterior motive.” Han Xiao smiled. He knew very well of Faleta’s worries.

After all, a Beyond Grade A personally helping soone fight for the chief position of a branch force within a Star System civilization looked suspicious in every way.

Faleta looked hesitant. Suddenly, he clenched his teeth and asked, “Your Excellency Black Star, I have a request... Does the Black Star Army accept race migration jobs?”

Han Xiao blinked, signaling for him to go on.

“The origin of us Luhan Beastn is a stray civilization. Today, although we ford a Star System civilization, every tribe is still an individual nation. In terms of the developnt direction of the civilization, we have a lot of disagreents. I hope to migrate the Rockfall Tribe out of the Seoul Star Cluster.”

“Why?” Han Xiao was curious.”

“The Seoul Star Cluster is Klent Kingdom’s territory. They have a very strong desire to control everyone. There are a few Star System civilizations in their Star System; us Luhan Beastn are just one of them.

“The other few civilizations are more or less connected to Klent. They have been marginalizing us, squeezing our resources to force us to beco Klent’s vassal too. Our territory was three Star Zones wide more than a hundred years ago. Now, we only have one and a half. The Luhan Beastn are brave and capable in combat. The faction of Supers in our people is very high. Klent has always had an interest in us.

“Our Rockfall Tribe hopes to maintain independence, and we are unwilling to beco a vassal, but the majority of the tribes want to compromise with Klent. Our people who prefer independence are the minority, and we are all looking for a way out.”

Han Xiao rubbed his chin and pondered. This was common in the universe. When a civilization had more than one governnt, there would always be disagreents when it ca to the overall future direction of the entire race.

Such a political structure was not suitable for Star System civilizations. In Galaxy, where there were organizations everywhere, the decision of a civilization had to be made with the entire race in mind. However, having multiple governnts ant they would have different interests, so conflict would occur very easily. Sadly, due to the Luhan Beastn’s past, they were forced to use this structure. It would be very difficult to change it even though they knew what the problem was—no tribe was willing to voluntarily give up their power.

The Luhan Beastn Civilization was considered a comparatively weak Star System civilization. Every tribe ruled a few colonial planets, and they only had around a hundred planets in total, spread about different places.

A Star System usually had more than ten Star Zones. For example, a powerful Star System civilization like Godora would be able to rule an entire Star System and all the Star Zones. On the other hand, multiple Star System civilizations existed in so Star Systems. They all ruled so Star Zones and fought for resources. Of course, those Star Systems were weaker in comparison.

“You want to make the Rockfall Tribe independent, leave the alliance civilization, and develop in another Star Cluster as a branch of the Luhan Beastn?” Han Xiao nodded.

“That’s right.” Faleta quickly agreed.

“Do you know the consequences of that? If you do that, a lot of your people will choose to stay and not migrate with you.” Han Xiao raised his brows.

“I will settle that. There are quite many who are displeased with Klent in the other tribes,” Faleta replied with a deep voice.

Han Xiao then stopped asking questions and slowly said, “Okay, when you’ve made up your mind, contact anyti.”

He only cared about carrying out the job in exchange for money. Soone else’s tribe would be soone else’s responsibility. With the Black Star Army’s ability, taking care of a tribe’s migration was no difficult task.

In the universe, it was not rare for a civilization’s governnt to seek independence, so he was not surprised by this.

Faleta nodded continuously. The migration process would be very dangerous, so they needed guards. Initially, he had been hesitant. Once he saw Harmon and Black Star’s relationship, he felt that the Black Star Army might be able to make this plan work.

The migration matter had to be discussed with the next chief, Harmon. However, with Harmon’s personality and experience, he would most likely refuse to be Klent’s vassal as well.

They arrived at the Rockfall Tribe’s planet and stayed as guests for three days. Then, Han Xiao bade farewell to Harmon and continued to head to the Bloodshed Land.

Harmon went to be a chief, but if the Rockfall Tribe decided to migrate, they would still have the chance to et in the future.

...

Ten days later, a thick blue stream of light dashed across the universe.

Planet Heber appeared in their sights. The blue stream of light stopped, and a spaceship appeared, slowly flying toward Planet Heber. At this ti, there were already many spaceships landing on and leaving Planet Heber.

“It’s been more than ten years since I last ca.” Looking at Planet Heber, it still had the sa old look. Han Xiao turned to look at As and said, “I ca with you last ti too.”

“You were much cuter back then.” As smiled.

“Ti sure passes fast.” Han Xiao sighed and told Phillip to land the spaceship.

This was his second ti stepping onto the Bloodshed Land’s headquarters. More than ten years ago, he had been As’ follower. Today, he had received an official invitation as soone that stood at the top of the Shattered Star Ring.

The spaceship had already reported their identity and flew into the port following instructions. As the ship landed, Hila and the Black Star Guards led the way at the front and disembarked from the spaceship first. Han Xiao and As then stepped onto the dock.

Both of them were wearing black. Han Xiao wore his black windbreaker, as usual, and a few chanical hovering guards swam around him mischievously.

As wore her high-cut black dress as always. The dress complented her long and beautiful legs, making her look royal and gorgeous.

“Your Excellency Black Star, Your Excellency Dragon Emperor.”

The Vanguard Official captain, Fosters, was waiting at the dock to welco the two of them. He greeted them with a stiff tone.

“Yo, isn’t this an old opponent?” Han Xiao chuckled. “I rember you were saying you’re going to kill during the war. Why aren’t you saying that now?”

Fosters clenched his teeth tightly and glared at Han Xiao, but he did not dare to respond. It was clear that the Tyrant intended to make peace with Black Star by inviting him this ti, which actually made the Bloodshed Land officer feel quite resentful.

However, this was Heber’s order, and they could not disobey it. They had no choice but to swallow their rage.

“Please. Follow. !” Fosters squeezed out one word after another between his teeth, turned around, and led the way, making up his mind about not responding to Han Xiao.

Seeing this, Han Xiao did not want to make fun of him anymore. He walked beside As and followed Fosters into the guest castle.

He attended a Tyrant Party before, so he knew the procedure. They would usually stay a few days in the guest castle, communicate with the representatives of the other organizations, and expand their network while waiting for all the guests to arrive. The party would then start officially.

The players who followed behind were filled with curiosity. This was their first ti in the Bloodshed Land headquarters, so it felt refreshing. They secretly wondered what Han Xiao’s intentions were. The Tyrant Party was an activity for those in high positions, so the players did not know about this at all.

After a peaceful walk, they arrived at the guest castle. There were already many representatives of large organizations inside. They were surprised to see Han Xiao and As, and the atmosphere beca strange.

Many people looked like they could not wait to talk to them.

With the Evolution Cube in his hands, everyone wanted to get close to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao did not walk in imdiately and asked, “Is the Tyrant not planning to see us now?”

“Don’t know, don’t ask ,” Fosters replied with a stiff tone.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stopped and looked at Hadavy. “You’re now a mber of the Black Star Army, huh?”

“Hmm?” Hadavy realized that Fosters was talking to him and nodded. “Yes, I’m now a Black Star Guard. The treatnt’s quite good. Do you want to co too?”

Fosters felt as if he was being ridiculed and was furious.

Hadavy had once worked with the Bloodshed Land, but it had ended after Jorde used him. He had then joined Han Xiao.

However, in Fosters’ eyes, this felt like Hadavy had ‘walked into the light from the darkness’. He was already enraged, and now he was furious and needed to vent it. “As a Bloodshed Land Vanguard Official, I challenge the Black Star Army’s Black Star Guards. Who dares fight ?”

Hearing what Fosters said, As and Han Xiao’s expressions beca strange. They looked at each other’s eyes and realized that they thought of the sa thing as if they had communicated with their eyes.

Haven’t we seen this before?

Isn’t this similar to when you challenged that traitor, Carroll?

Han Xiao smiled with resignation.

In the past, he had taught Floating Dragon’s traitor a lesson for As. Now, the Bloodshed Land’s officers had beco the side that were displeased and wanting to challenge his guards. How the tables had turned.

Fosters was loyal to the Tyrant. Heber had failed in establishing power, so Fosters wanted to try to earn so pride back. Hence, he targeted Han Xiao’s officers. Although Han Xiao was an invited guest, the relationship between the two sides was odd. He was not willing to show friendliness to an enemy that had killed more than three digits of Bloodshed Land high-level combatants.

It was a just challenge, so it would be difficult even for a Beyond Grade A to stop it. Furthermore, the Bloodshed Land did not stop Han Xiao from challenging Carroll more than ten years ago.

Like thunder, his voice attracted the attention of the various representatives in the hall.

Hila narrowed her eyes and stepped forward. “Where are we going to fight?”

“Who are you?”

“Captain of the Black Star Guards, Hila!”

A murderous intent flashed through Fosters’ eyes. Just as he was about to speak, a shadow suddenly shrouded him. A deep voice ca from behind him.

“Get back.”

The crowd looked up and their expression changed. It was the Tyrant, Heber.

Hearing Heber ordering him to stop the challenge, Fosters clenched his teeth and turned around and left, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Hila took a few steps, too.

Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked up at the tiny mountain-tall Heber. Heber looked down at him with an expressionless face.

The atmosphere around seed to beco heavy. Other than As, everyone in the hall felt that it was difficult to breathe.

As the atmosphere kept getting tenser, Heber suddenly spoke and shattered the uptight atmosphere.

“Black Star, Dragon Emperor, follow . Let’s have a chat between us five Beyond Grade As.”

Then, he turned around and walked into his palace.

It seed like how the two of them treated each other in the future would be decided this ti. Without hesitation, Han Xiao told Hila and the others to rest in the guest room while he followed Heber into the palace.

“All five?”

With a faint smile on her face, As followed him into the palace as well.
