Chapter 1669 Group formation
In the end, Qu Jianlei still did not agree to Xizhao's request.
It's good to have confidence, but you must also be respectful. Since you are not in a hurry, it is better to be cautious.
Almost at the same time, in the distant empire, the military was urgently contacting the Dawn Base.
"Urgent news, the Alliance is launching a new round of attacks on the Empire."
The person guarding the base now is Yuanyuan, who said indifferently, "We have no right to interfere in the military's affairs."
However, the military did not care about her attitude because according to investigations, the warships launched by the Alliance were all unmanned.
The Alliance War Zone has already issued a warning to the other side: Your attitude is not for peace talks.
But the Alliance military said that these warships are out of control... We don't want to attack you either.
Currently, several warships of the Imperial Military have been infected and isolated on a larger meteorite.
Fortunately, the empire made preparations to deal with artificial intelligence in advance and discarded most of the energy block reserves, so the situation is currently under overall control.
However, the military could not allow the situation to continue, so they were commissioned by the Empire to urgently seek help from Digital Phantom.
The military described the situation as serious, but Yuanyuan's reaction was indifferent, simply saying that most members had already gone out.
The people left behind are unable to handle the local artificial intelligence, so... I can only say sorry.
The military also knew about the Digital Phantom's expedition, and even knew that they were fighting successfully in the Federation.
The military could only ask if there was any emergency method of contact.
However, Yuanyuan said she could do nothing to help and could only wait for the main force to contact the base.
Because she did not conceal her voice, the military had determined based on her voice that she was the one who committed the massacre on Tianbing Star.
In the portrait of the empire, this person's loyalty is average and he belongs to the group that should not be messed with.
Then they could only leave a message, hoping that when the main force contacted the base, she would be the first to convey the military's needs...
After Qu Jianlei and others arrived at Hesmus, they found that the scenery here was completely different from that of Tres.
After all, it is a place of decadence and extravagance, and everything here seems quite prosperous.
They adapted for a day, then split into three groups to search for the whereabouts of the magic weapon.
But unfortunately, all three groups of people returned empty-handed. Those people either ran away or gave away the magic weapons in a high-profile manner.
And all these things happened within the past two months.
Qu Jianlei was a little unconvinced and wanted to do some divination, but Taoist Jiao stopped him, thinking it was unnecessary.
——These people and forces should be well-informed, and will definitely take action when they learn that the Digital Phantom has appeared.
In other words, for those federal personnel with the most sensitive sense of smell, their appearance is no longer a secret.
Therefore, the most urgent task is to find out about Asura's situation and plan to go to Link Nebula.
So everyone went out again to inquire about the relevant information.
I have to admit that Hermus is truly the city of decadence. As long as you have money, there is no news that you cannot buy.
However, there are also many people who sell false information, and some people want to test their backgrounds. There is no need to elaborate on these one by one.
To this end, they killed one group of people and robbed and injured two groups.
Everyone gathered together again to share their respective intelligence, and it was certain that the news of their coming to the Federation had already spread.
But news shows that the Federation’s leaders are not ordinary iron-willed, and they are inclined to resist the Digital Phantom head-on.
Because they have fought against warships carrying artificial intelligence, they found that although they were difficult to defeat, they were not as evil as the legend said.
They believed that the Alliance was badly defeated mainly because of its poor basic capabilities in digital defense.
However, some people also say that the federal government can no longer bear it, at least not economically.
Therefore, the current tough stance of the federal government is just a step forward in order to obtain decent treatment.
This statement sounded quite credible, but Qu Jianlei was not interested in it. "Is there a way to get to Link Nebula?"
Facing the invasion of Asura, the Federation released too many sensors, not only to guard against alien races, but also to prevent the Empire from doing bad things.
If Qu Jianlei and his team go directly there, it won't be very difficult, but there is a possibility of running into the federal army.
In addition, Asura has set up gathering points of various sizes in the space he has occupied.
Although Qu Jianlei and his men were not afraid of fighting Asura, they had to consider the cost of the battle, and they could not waste the large amount of ammunition they carried.
So it would be best if you can find a relevant star map.
Several groups of people heard about this.
The Federation does have this kind of star map, but there are many versions and the reliability is not very high.
Among them, the Fourth Master and Old Lady Jia found out the way to get to Link Nebula - joining the hunting group.
The Federation has issued a bounty for Ashura to the entire society. Not only is the bounty generous, but there are also a series of social benefits.
Although Hermus is a place of debauchery and extravagance, there are also many adventurers and gray organizations here.
Therefore, some forces have set up offices here to specifically release bounty and team formation information.
After everyone analyzed it, they felt that the one chosen by the fourth in command was relatively more reliable.
The main reason is that the other party's strength is average, the conditions for cooperation are relatively broad, and the key is that the star map in hand comes from the military.
This team is known as the "Skyline Mercenaries" and has a total of five Supremes. This time, they will dispatch three armed merchant ships and three Supremes.
At the agreed time, everyone went to the meeting point and boarded the hover bus.
There were more than twenty people on the bus, and Qu Jianlei's group of ten was relatively eye-catching.
After getting on the bus, they did not say hello to other people. They all had cold faces and looked like they wanted to keep strangers away.
But this is not surprising. Few of the people who can get on this bus are good people - they want to fight to the death with the aliens.
A big man with scars on his face came over and said simply, "Salaries will be paid after the starship is launched!"
The main body of the bounty hunters are Skyline Mercenaries, who pay salaries to the hired workers on a daily basis.
The fourth boss said in a deep voice, "No need, we have also obtained an armed merchant ship, we should be able to meet in space."
"Found it?" The scarred man looked at him, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
Participating in a battle on someone else's starship and bringing your own starship are different concepts. The latter is a form of cooperation.
Of course, such a team also means a stronger team.
Hearing this, a few people looked at him in surprise, but didn't say much.
The bus passed three checkpoints and entered the star port. No one checked the identities of the passengers along the way.
This was agreed upon in advance, and the Skyline team was well aware that many of these guys who dared to risk their lives had criminal records.
Only by providing such services can they attract more talents.
After all, we are fighting against aliens, so criminal record is not important. Once we are successful, maybe we can whitewash some of it.
The Skyline team's three armed merchant ships are all heavily armored, one of which is large and the other two are medium-sized.
Qu Jianlei and his team were assigned to a medium-sized merchant ship.
But when boarding the ship, the scarred man said, "If you can't wait for your merchant ship, you have to board a large ship."
There are many attack ships installed on large ships, and the main purpose of recruiting mercenaries is to drive these small ships.
In space battles, these small ships are the easiest to be damaged and the risk is extremely high, but... we really can't do it without its cooperation.
The meaning of this statement is a bit impolite: you are welcome to bring your own dry food, but if you want to play any tricks, forget it!
Qu Jianlei and his group did not react, as if they did not hear anything, only the Fourth In Command nodded slightly.
Although it is a medium-sized armed merchant ship, its size is more than twice that of an ordinary armed merchant ship.
After entering the cabin, there were already more than forty people waiting in the hall.
Qu Jianlei and his friends formed a small circle and stood in a corner of the hall.
After a while, someone else came to ask, "Are there any experts in lossy tubes? Come and register."
There is a real shortage of manpower like this. After all, the damage control task when fighting against alien races is much more dangerous than fighting against humans.
Seeing that Qu Jianlei and others' team was quite large, he came over and asked a question.
Normally, such a large team should have its own damage control personnel.
Only after learning that the other party had his own starship in space did he snort and leave.
After the number of people in the hall exceeded a hundred, they finally stopped entering and three armed merchant ships gradually took off.
After entering space, Qu Jianlei and others discovered that there were six ordinary armed merchant ships waiting in space.
But this is normal. Otherwise, they really can't understand why just three starships dare to dream of hunting for bounties?
As the starship set sail, the solemn atmosphere in the hall loosened a little, and some people began to talk in low voices.
Later on, more and more people started whispering to each other, and some even raised their voices to show off their knowledge.
But this is not surprising, because in the next battle, everyone will face brutal aliens.
Therefore, it is quite necessary to seize the time to improve your personal reputation. At least in an emergency, your words will carry more weight.
So Qu Jianlei and his team learned that out of the six ordinary armed merchant ships, only two belonged to the Skyline Mercenaries.
The remaining four ships are also from the mercenary group’s partners.
No wonder the scarred man easily accepted the fact that they had armed merchant ships. It turns out there are quite a few people who do this.
Seeing that Qu Jianlei and others’ team was quite large, some people came over to say hello.
Unfortunately, their attitude was rather cold and the visitor could only leave in embarrassment.
Not long after, the mercenaries came and arranged a resting room for everyone.
The day's salary was only distributed after we were arranged into the room. There must be some differential treatment.
Qu Jianlei and his group were arranged into a small conference room, which had just enough space for seating but no beds.
They didn't care, but left the door ajar and listened to the noise outside.
