Chapter 1 The Outcome

At the same time, the War Realm vanguard army summarized and digested the results of this battle.

"We repelled the first wave of attack, you did a good job, taking down quite a few Calamity Grade powerhouses. The Purple Crystal's allied forces will definitely be wary."

Joe Erde praised the vanguard army's achievements.

Hunting Blade nodded. "The enemy also hastily countered, not sending too many high-level combatants. You guessed right."

The vanguard army had many sets of tactical plans. The original tactic was mainly defensive. Seeing that the Zero Organ's first wave of attack didn't have an overwhelming lineup, Joe Erde temporarily changed the tactic, allowing the Eight Vanguard Officers to go out together, blasting the Zero Organ's high-level combatants, achieving a killing-the-chicken-to-scare-the-monkeys effect.

"We have about ten days of buffer time. The enemy will launch the next round of attack. You continue to deal with high-level combatants. This is the weakness of the united forces."

Joe Erde was full of confidence.

Hunting Blade frowned. "With this example, the enemy's high-level combatants won't underestimate us, and may not even fight us. We may not have such an opportunity as today."

"Then create opportunities." Floros, who had been silent on the side, spoke, slowly saying, "If the enemy doesn't send high-level combatants to deal with us, then let them watch us dismantle their fleet."

Joe Erde nodded. "In short, try to find opportunities to kill and injure the enemy's high-level combatants, kill them until they are afraid, and the difficulty of our expansion will be reduced."

Floros suddenly said, "Black Star should continue to participate in the next attack. I have a request, everyone should report Black Star's location to me at any time. If the main battlefield doesn't need me for the time being, I will rush over and kill Black Star."

Joe Erde pondered. "Okay, provided that your personal grievances don't affect the battle."

"Humph, you don't need to teach me this, and this is not just a personal grievance." Floros coldly said, "Black Star is a cadre of the Dragon Emperor. Killing him may force the Dragon Emperor out. In that case, Your Excellency Heber can rightfully take action and intervene in the secret war."

The existence of Super-A Grades is a deterrent. They rarely take action at will. Even if the Overlord is the leader of the War Realm, he still hasn't personally intervened in the secret war. But if Ames takes the first move, Heber will have a reason.

In their eyes, the Overlord is clearly stronger than the Dragon Emperor.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Joe Erde nodded and said, "That makes sense, then I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, no matter where he hides, I can find him."

Floros nodded in satisfaction.

…

While the allied forces were waiting for reinforcements, there were several riots. Led by the Arc Light Organization, the members who participated in the strong attack applied to change tasks, using the heavy losses as an excuse, and were unwilling to participate in the frontal battlefield strong attack again.

Cervett's death shocked the Arc Light Organization. The leader of the organization regretted it even more. Cervett was his capable assistant and trusted him very much. He let him lead the troops to participate in the battle, but he didn't expect him to die in the first battle. The leader suddenly retreated. Other organizations participating in the frontal strong attack also had varying degrees of casualties among their high-level combatants.

Such a high-intensity battle exceeded their expectations. The War Realm's Eight Vanguard Officers made them shudder.

Maybe joining forces could defeat the Vanguard Officers, but no one was willing to lose their own Calamity Grade powerhouse, so they tacitly avoided the battle.

This was an unsolvable contradiction. The Zero Organ's remote command could only readjust the offensive tactics, replace the candidates for the frontal battlefield, and pinned their hopes on the reinforcements to take on the responsibility of the strong attack.

However, the allies who came to support also learned of the casualty statistics on the front line, and did not want to participate in the strong attack, and were unwilling to let their own high-level combatants follow in their footsteps.

Purple Crystal Civilization had no choice but to compromise with some unwilling forces after private consultations.

The War Realm's tactics were very effective, fully exposing the shortcomings of the Zero Organ. Even if the members were all well-known armed forces in the Colton Star Cluster, when combined together, they were simply a rabble, perfectly interpreting what is called "smiling happily in the wind, hiding like a chicken in the headwind."

However, Han Xiao was not disappointed. The disadvantaged camp had more opportunities to show itself.

When almost everyone was shirking responsibility, only Han Xiao took the initiative to request to participate in the strong attack.

This news quickly spread throughout the camp, causing an uproar. Han Xiao was subjected to strange gazes from others every day, full of surprise, incomprehension, shock and other emotions.

Knowing that there were risks in the strong attack, Black Star actually rushed to do it. Has he lost his mind?

The Arc Light Organization and other comrades-in-arms who had already suffered losses watched coldly. Black Star's actions made them misunderstand. In their opinion, Black Star wanted to take the opportunity to act, stepping on them to show a greater role and gain the attention of Purple Crystal.

There was nothing wrong with this in itself. What made the Arc Light Organization and other forces criticize was that Black Star's idea was right, but he didn't have the corresponding strength. That was purely courting death. Even their high-level combatants suffered heavy losses. Didn't Black Star have any self-awareness?

Many allied forces reached a consensus—Black Star was desperate to improve his status.

However, no force took the initiative to remind Black Star. They needed someone to stand in front. Since Black Star wanted to die, they would not stop him.

Han Xiao was taking on such a dangerous task, and Lefay was almost responsive to his requests. Han Xiao didn't let his troops participate in the strong attack together, but let Laki, Melos and others participate in low-intensity battles. Lefay agreed.

A few days later, the second batch of reinforcements finally arrived, and the Zero Organ coalition once again attacked the War Realm's first stronghold in the West Wind Star System.

Han Xiao let Melos temporarily command the fleet, while he piloted the Blacklight Lurker, and lurked alone in the frontal troops.

This tactical mission required holding back the Eight Vanguard Officers. The reward was advanced knowledge, as well as a large amount of experience and camp contribution, which was equivalent to more than ten times the normal tactical missions.

Due to the last setback, the Zero Organ's second attack received attention from the entire Star Field.

The other five Star Cluster-level civilizations in the Shattered Star Ring, as well as some large organizations with respected status in the Star Field, all turned their attention to Colton's West Wind Star System. The result of the second confrontation between the two sides basically represented the future trend of the secret war.

…

This was the second confrontation. Both the War Realm and the Zero Organ were prepared. There was no need for foreplay. The battle entered a white-hot stage from the beginning.

Blooms of fireworks lit up the dark universe. Burning warships, exploding bullets, and shining light cannons spread the dangers of the interstellar battlefield, like a colorful and unrestrained painting.

The frontal battlefield was fierce. The Eight Vanguard Officers, led by Floros, broke through one warship after another, unstoppable, as if entering an uninhabited area.

It should have been stopped by the high-level combatants, but the Calamity Grade powerhouses of the Zero Organ almost all chose to avoid the battle, watching the Vanguard Officers destroy the warships.

"What are you doing, stop them!"

Remote command was roaring.

"Got it, we'll do it later."

"Now is not the time, let them consume some energy first."

The Grade A powerhouses perfunctorily prevaricated, procrastinating.

Remote command was furious, but also extremely helpless. These high-level combatants were acting against orders, and he had no way to solve it. Even the fleets belonged to these people. Relying on the fact that Purple Crystal would compensate after the war, they would rather watch their troops be beaten down than take action. Remote command had no temper.

Lefay couldn't sit still. He knew the situation was bad, but he didn't expect the situation to be so bad. He couldn't help but contact Han Xiao.

"Black Star, no one else can be relied on. When are you going to take action? If you drag it on any longer, we will undoubtedly be defeated!"

In the cockpit, Han Xiao stared at the Eight Vanguard Officers marked on the tactical screen, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Give me a battlefield."

"Understood!" Lefay was overjoyed.

He was skeptical about whether Black Star could withstand the Eight Vanguard Officers, but he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Now he could only rely on Black Star.

…

In the center of the battlefield, Floros was leading the Seven Vanguard Officers to kill to their heart's content, like eight meteors, smashing through one Zero Organ warship after another. The offensive was like a tsunami, directly disrupting the Zero Organ's formation.

The Eight Vanguard Officers were like leopards, and the warships were like sheep. Without the high-level combatants holding each other back, the warships were completely prey. Once targeted, there was no possibility of escape.

"Haha, the enemy's Calamity Grades still don't take action. Do they really not care about the fleet?"

In the communication channel, Mazax laughed wildly.

"What a bunch of cowards, they don't even have the courage to take action." Hunting Blade's tone was disdainful.

Bang!

Inside a warship, Floros shattered half of the spaceship with one punch, boarded the responding assault ship before the explosion. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Why hasn't anyone reported Black Star's location yet? Where is he?"

"I don't know. No trace of Black Star has been found in any local battlefield, but the Black Star Army's troops have been found. However, Black Star is not among them. There is only a Grade A mage holding the line."

Floros glanced at the battle and said coldly, "The enemy's high-level combatants are a bunch of cowards. The frontal battlefield doesn't need my help for the time being. I'm going to find the Black Star Army. He must be hiding in that local battlefield."

"Okay, you go, we'll take care of this."

Hunting Blade nodded in response.

Floros was about to let his seat turn around and leave.

At this moment, the surrounding warship formations suddenly dispersed, forming an arching trend, revealing a passage. The Blacklight Lurker flew out from the depths of the formation.

"That's... Black Star?!"

Floros suddenly stopped, staring at the Blacklight Lurker. Even the other Seven Vanguard Officers couldn't help but look over.

Han Xiao, wearing the Mad Ape mechanical suit, left the cockpit, suspended in the universe, and made a provocative gesture of "come here" to the Eight Vanguard Officers in the distance.

Although a person was too small in the vast interstellar battlefield, no one nearby ignored Han Xiao's existence. He released his energy, and the high-energy reaction generated on his body was enough for any warship's radar to mark him as dangerous.

Although the distance was far, Floros and others could still clearly see Han Xiao's movements, and their expressions changed.

"He's provoking us?"

Hunting Blade was surprised, unable to understand who gave Black Star the courage.

Floros was also surprised. He thought that Black Star was hiding like other Calamity Grades, but he didn't expect him to appear on his own initiative.

"Not bad, at least he has more courage than others, saving me the time to find him."

Floros narrowed his eyes and let the assault ship rush towards Han Xiao, then jumped out of the spaceship, his body burst out with flames, like a dark red meteor, crashing straight into Han Xiao.

Han Xiao stretched out his arm, and the mechanical components quickly unfolded, turning into a hundred-meter-sized mechanical giant fist along his arm. Mechanical force lightning jumped, and the giant fist hammered towards the meteor.

There was no sound in the vacuum environment, but the collision between the two made many people subconsciously imagine the sound.

Bang!!

The giant fist was instantly penetrated by the meteor, revealing a human-shaped hole. Floros's momentum did not diminish, and he punched Han Xiao in the chest.

Han Xiao retreated straight back, then shook his body, stabilized his body in mid-air, and shook off the broken mechanical giant hand.

"Use all your methods, let me have some fun." Floros sent a voice message to Han Xiao through the armor's communication system.

He actually sends voice messages while fighting... this guy is really a chatterbox!

Han Xiao couldn't help but slander, with a wave of his hand, the Blacklight Lurker's warehouse opened, and all the mechanical legions came out in full force, like locusts.

Soon, the army suddenly appeared, hundreds of thousands of mechanical soldiers surrounded Han Xiao, immediately attracting the attention of the entire battlefield.

This scale should not be underestimated!

Because the Purple Crystal Civilization would overcompensate for the losses, Han Xiao used all the machines this time without reservation, going all out.

"All eight of you come together, you are far from enough to deal with me." Han Xiao returned the favor and sent a message to Floros.

Floros smiled dumbly, too lazy to answer. In his eyes, Black Star was already a dead man, and he alone was enough to kill him.

The Calamity Grade powerhouses of the Zero Organ who avoided the battle were all paddling and watching, and no one had any intention of helping.

So far, Han Xiao was the only Calamity Grade on the Zero Organ's side who had fought on the frontal battlefield!
