In the end, Qu Jianlei still did not agree to Xizhao's request.
It's good to have confidence, but you also have to be in awe. You're not in a hurry anyway, so it's better to be on the safe side.
Almost at the same time, the distant empire and the military were urgently contacting Dawn Base.
"Urgent report, the Alliance is launching a new round of attacks on the Empire."
Yuanyuan is now guarding the base. She said lukewarmly, "We are not qualified to interfere with the military's affairs."
However, the military could not care less about her attitude because according to the investigation, the warships launched by the Alliance to attack were all unmanned.
The Alliance Theater has issued a warning to the other side: Your attitude is not what peace talks look like.
But the alliance military said that these warships are out of control... and we don't want to attack you.
Currently, several battleships of the imperial military are infected and isolated on a larger meteorite.
Fortunately, the empire made preparations in advance to deal with artificial intelligence and lost most of its energy block reserves, so it is currently under overall control.
However, the military could not let the situation develop, so it was entrusted by the empire to urgently seek help from the Digital Phantom.
The military described the situation as serious, but Yuanyuan's response was unremarkable, saying that most of the members had already gone off to fight.
The staff left behind cannot 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 vigorously in the Federation.
The military could only ask if there was any emergency contact method.
However, Yuanyuan said that she was helpless and could only wait for the main force to contact the base.
Because she did not hide her voice, the military had already determined from the sound of her voice that she was the one who caused the massacre on the Sky Handle Star.
In the portrait of the empire, this person's loyalty is average and he is a group of people who should not be messed with.
Then they can only leave a message, hoping that when the main force contacts the base, she can relay the military's needs as soon as possible...
After Qu Jianlei and others arrived at Hesmus, they found that the scene here was completely different from Tres.
After all, it is a place of luxury and luxury, and everything here seems quite prosperous.
They adapted for a day, and then divided their forces into three groups to find the whereabouts of the magic weapon.
However, it is very regrettable that all three groups of people returned empty-handed. Those people either ran away or gave away the magic weapon in a high-profile manner.
And it all happened within the past two months.
Qu Jianlei was a little unconvinced and wanted to do some divination, but Taoist Jiao stopped him and thought it was unnecessary.
——These people and forces should be very knowledgeable. When they learn that the digital phantom appears, they will definitely take action.
In other words, for the federal people with the most sensitive sense of smell, their appearance is no longer a secret.
So the top priority is to inquire about Asura's situation, and think about going to Link Nebula.
So everyone went out again to inquire about the corresponding information.
I have to admit that Hermes is truly a city of depravity. As long as you have money, there is no news that you cannot buy.
However, there are also many people selling fake news, and there are still people who want to test their roots, so there is no need to go into details about these.
For this reason, they also killed one group of people, robbed and wounded two groups.
Everyone gathered together again to share their respective intelligence. We can be sure that the news of our coming to the Federation has been spread.
But the news shows that the leaders of the Federation are not ordinary, and they are inclined to resist the Digital Phantom.
Because they had fought against battleships carrying artificial intelligence and found it difficult to defeat them, but they were not as evil as the legend said.
They believe that the alliance has been beaten down mainly because its basic capabilities in digital defense are too poor.
However, some people say that the federation is a bit unable to bear it, at least not economically.
Therefore, the current toughness of the Federation is only to advance before retreating in order to get a decent treatment.
This doesn't sound very credible, but Qu Jianlei is not interested in it, "Is there a way to the Link Nebula?"
Facing the invasion of Asuras, the Federation released too many sensors to not only guard against the aliens, but also to guard against the empire from causing harm.
If Qu Jianlei and the others went directly, it would not be very difficult, but there was a possibility of running into the federal army.
Also, Asura has arranged large and small gathering points in the occupied space.
Although Qu Jianlei and the others are not afraid of fighting Asura, they have to consider the cost of combat. They carry a lot of ammunition and cannot waste it.
So it would be best if you can find relevant star charts.
Regarding this, several groups of people have heard the news.
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 Mrs. Jia both found out the way to the Link Nebula - to join the hunting group.
The Federation has issued a bounty for Asura to the entire society. Not only is the bounty huge, but it also provides a series of social benefits.
Although Hermuth is a place full of people and money, there are also many adventurers wandering here, and there are also many gray organizations.
Therefore, some forces have set up offices here to publish bounty and team formation information.
After everyone analyzed it, I felt that the one chosen by the Fourth Master was relatively more reliable.
The main reason is that the opponent's strength is average and the cooperation conditions are relatively broad. The key is that the star map in hand comes from the military.
This team is called the "Skyline Mercenaries" and there are five Supremes in total. This time, three armed merchant ships and three Supremes will be dispatched.
At the appointed time, everyone went to the meeting place and got on the floating bus.
There were more than twenty people in the bus, but Qu Jianlei and his group of ten were relatively eye-catching.
After getting on the bus, they didn't say hello to anyone else. They all had cold faces and looked like they couldn't get close to strangers.
But this is not surprising. There are very few people who can get on this bus - they are willing to risk their lives with aliens.
A big man with a scar on his face came over and said simply and concisely, "Salaries will not be paid until the starship is launched!"
The main body of the hunt is Skyline mercenaries, who pay salaries to their employees on a daily basis.
The fourth master said in a deep voice, "No, we have also obtained an armed merchant ship. We should be able to meet in space."
"Found it?" The scar-faced man looked at him, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
Participating in a battle on other people's starships and bringing your own starship are different concepts. The latter is a cooperative method.
Of course, such a team also means a stronger team.
Hearing this, several people gave him surprised looks, but they 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 in advance, and the Skyline team knew very well that many of these masters who dared to risk their lives had criminal records.
Only by providing such services can they attract more good people.
Anyway, it's just fighting against the alien race, the criminal background is not important, once you achieve great success, you might be able to clear up some of it.
The three armed merchant ships of the Skyline team are all heavily armored, one of them is large, and the other two are medium-sized.
Qu Jianlei and the others were assigned to a medium-sized merchant ship.
But when we boarded the ship, the scarred man said, "If I can't wait for your merchant ship, you have to get on a large ship."
There are many attack ships mounted on large ships, and they recruit mercenaries whose main purpose is to pilot these small ships.
In space battles, these small ships are the easiest to damage, and the risk is extremely high, but...it really can't be done without its cooperation.
The meaning of this is a bit rude: you are welcome to bring your own dry food, but if you want to play any tricks, you are free of charge!
Qu Jianlei and the others didn't respond, as if they didn't hear anything. Only the fourth master nodded slightly.
Although it is a medium-sized armed merchant ship, its size is more than double that of an ordinary armed merchant ship.
After entering the cabin, more than forty people were already waiting in the hall.
Qu Jianlei and the others formed a small circle and stood in a corner of the hall.
After a while, someone came and asked, "Is there anyone who specializes in damage control? Come and register."
There is really a shortage of such manpower. After all, the damage control task when fighting aliens is much more dangerous than fighting against humans.
This man saw that Qu Jianlei and others' team was quite large, so he came over to ask.
Normally, such a large team should have its own damage control personnel.
When he learned that the other party was in space and had a starship for his own use, he grunted angrily and left.
After the number of people in the hall exceeded a hundred, people 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 would really be confused, how could they dare to care about hunting with just three starships?
As the starship set sail, the solemn atmosphere in the hall relaxed a little, and someone began to talk in a low voice.
Later, more and more people were whispering to each other, and some even raised their voices to show off their knowledge.
But this is not surprising. In the next battle, everyone will face ferocious aliens.
Therefore, it is very necessary to seize the time to improve your personal reputation. At least in emergencies, your words will have a heavier weight.
So Qu Jianlei and the others learned that out of the six ordinary armed merchant ships, only two belonged to the Skyline mercenaries.
The remaining four ships are also partners from the mercenary group.
No wonder the scar-faced man easily accepted the fact that they had armed merchant ships. There were quite a few people who did this together.
Seeing that the team of Qu Jianlei and others was quite large, some people even came over to say hello.
It's a pity that their attitude is a bit indifferent, and visitors can only leave in silence.
Not long after, people from the mercenary group came and arranged a room for everyone to rest.
After being arranged into the room, the salary for the day will be distributed. There should be differential treatment.
Qu Jianlei and his party were arranged into a small conference room, which could barely fit in the seats, but there were no beds.
They didn't pay attention, but kept the door ajar and listened to the noise outside.
