King of the Stars [Rebirth]

As the sound sounded, a video image appeared in front of Yan Beichen's eyes.This is a new program developed by Campbell Jr. It can remotely connect the "Nightmare" communication system to his communication device. As long as the connection is turned on, he can make video contact with his subordinates through "Nightmare".In this way, no matter how far the distance is, what the other party sees will always be that terrifying mech.

In the picture, a middle-aged man with gray temples and a smile greeted him by touching his chest: "My lord, it's a pleasure to see you again. The tasks you entrusted to me have all been completed."

"You did a good job in Cicero." Yan Beichen maintained his usual tone and said calmly, "The Fourth Fleet has taken control of Cicero Port, and you can return home."

As if he had guessed the order, the man slightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you preparing for Star Nader?"

"Yes."

"As long as Star Nader is leveled, your power on the border will further expand. Congratulations in advance, my lord." The man's voice was smooth and humble, as if smeared with honey.

Yan Beichen frowned imperceptibly: "Go back to the voyage as soon as possible."

After speaking, he cut off the connection.

In the communicator, the voice of Campbell Jr. came: "Bryce once worked for the federal nobles, and there may be problems in his position."

"I know." A sneer crossed Yan Beichen's lips.

The man just now was none other than Bree Bryce, the captain of the Titmouse, known as "Mozu" Bryce.Compared with the other subordinates under him, this person's resume is more complicated. He served the federal nobles in the early years, and later joined a certain border pirate, "inherited" the other party's foundation, and became the leader of a small border force .Among the space pirates, he is an extremely rare "non-knight" captain. He does not have many armed forces, but his communication skills are very strong, so he can hold a corner of the border where the strong are respected.

However, this balance was interrupted by the rise of the Qunxing. Unlike other pirates who vowed to resist to the death, he quickly recognized the situation and brought his free port to Yan Beichen's command.Because the timing of his engagement was too appropriate, Yan Beichen did not reject this cunning guy, but used his clever tongue to assist other fleets in attacking the city.This not only effectively curbed the expansion of Bryce's power, but also gave full play to the role of that glib tongue.The effect is remarkable.

It's just that for people with ambition, this is not satisfying.Therefore, conquering Star Nader is the best opportunity no matter from which angle.Bryce is also well aware of this.

"Connect to Chu Nan." Yan Beichen gave the order without hesitation.

A few seconds later, that slightly tired face appeared in front of his eyes. Chu Nan obviously did not expect this summons, and asked with some doubts: "My lord?"

"What's the trend of the Federation?" As an outpost, Yan Beichen had already dispatched an eyeliner, and with the help of little Campbell, information flow was not a problem for him at all.

"The lions of the Golden Family are making more noise, and the council seems to be in chaos." Chu Nan replied immediately, "According to the current information, there will be a battle to clear the border soon, just like in the past, quietly Silent petty wars."

This is also the self-balancing method of the five major families. While eradicating pirates, they can uproot the opponent's roots and pave the way for self-expansion.In his already vague memory, he still vaguely remembered that it was through such feats that the golden son really stepped onto the political stage.Compared with himself, perhaps that enemy who is more than ten light-years away is more interested in the Nader star belonging to the fifth family.

The war on Star Nader is by no means as simple as relying on force alone.This may be an opportunity to clear internal hidden dangers, smooth out surrounding obstacles, fight against enemies that will inevitably be faced in the future, and get what you want from that "Anteater".A war that kills two birds with one stone.

"Very well, pay attention to the actions of the Federation. This time, we will 'cooperate' with them in a dance. Also, pay attention to your side and guard against sneak attacks." A sharp light flashed in Yan Beichen's eyes. He never minded using tricks , as long as these intrigues can help him win.

Stepping into the armor room, he turned off the connection and looked at the tall and dark mech in front of him.Maybe this time, let that "son of gold" see its power.

Looking at the pitch-black screen, Bryce suppressed his smile.The first mate standing beside him leaned forward and asked cautiously, "Captain, did the Tin Woodman notice anything?"

"The Tin Woodman" is a derogatory term for that strange black armored knight.No one has ever seen the real face of that lord, and no one has been able to approach his ship, the Starship. Just like the legendary King of Terror, it is mysterious and dangerous, making people fearful and curious at the same time.Of course, no one had the guts to really let this name reach that person's ears.

Bryce gently rubbed the precious bracelet woven of fine golden silk feathers on his wrist, and opened his mouth contemptuously: "He never trusted me, unlike those captains. This kind of reckless man who only uses force Husband, how could he understand the importance of planning. Moreover, his fortune is too fast, and someone wants to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson. This is the time for us to intervene."

"Change a team?" the first officer asked back.

"No, it's to replace some people and become a more important role to him." Bryce shook his head. He didn't actually intend to overthrow the "Tin Woodman", but just wanted to make him suffer and let him understand , Those idiots who fight and kill are not really worth relying on.When a crisis comes, only the strategy is the most important thing to rely on, it is a transaction and balance, not a blind struggle.

The first officer was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he immediately responded: "The third fleet or the fourth fleet?"

Under the Constellation, there are four complete fleets.Among them, the flagships of the main fleet are Demon Wolf, Fierce Dragon, Thunderbolt, and Snow Bee, as well as two independent spaceships, Titmouse and Youying, to coordinate and manage the surrounding areas.Demon Wolf is the direct descendant of the direct descendant, and Barnett is one of the very few confidantes who can board the Stars.The helm of the fierce dragon "Christina the Rebel" owns the frontier mine star and has the closest relationship with the Alpha star.The rest of Thunder and Snow Bee are pirate reorganized teams, one is a fighting maniac and the other is a rigid mercenary. They have the same loyalty to Lord Qunxing, and the only difference is in the fighting style.It is these two teams that he wants to leapfrog.

Compared with the berserker who crazily worships the strong, his own strategy should play a greater role.As for the remaining two... Bryce's eyes showed a hint of cruelty, he will wait slowly, waiting for the day when they will be arrogant and domineering and really anger the adults.If he can become the second person under the lord, and can control the voice channel of that lord, he will have all the power of the other party.Like a fox with its back against a tiger, every word he said had an irresistible force.

This is the real victory.And before he wins, he has to make a good plan, how to quietly weaken that person's strength, so that he can move to a more prominent position.

"How is the dark line arrangement?" Bryce asked suddenly.

"They've already made preparations. Once Star Nader starts to send troops, there will be a 'routine' on the front line until the 'Thunder Wolf' falls into the enemy's line." The first mate replied in a low voice.

The defeat of the Third Fleet will plunge the situation into a quagmire, and this is the best time for him to come forward.In this three-way battle, the stars will know how valuable "foresight" is.And war is not a problem that can be solved simply by fighting.

A clever layout for a double, maybe even a triple.

"Youying needs to deal with it." Bryce changed the topic, "Although their strength is not great, but their position overlaps with ours, if necessary, find someone to eradicate them."

The first mate nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "Who will the Federation send this time?"

"The first family is still fighting among themselves, so it is estimated that they will choose a cannon fodder." Bryce licked his lower lip lightly, "Maybe it is the 'Golden Son', who has made a lot of contributions in the western border of the Federation. But here It's not Xizhen, but the real outskirts of the star field, not that kind of gentle puddle. This kid who hasn't even grown his hair should also taste the taste of failure."

The cold war involving the five major families has never been reserved.No one can understand this more clearly than Bryce.Star Nader is associated with too many internal interests of the Federation, even if it is sent to wipe out the team, it will not be a simple force.Letting a fledgling kid control this team is nothing more than an opportunity for people to plot against them.At that time, there will also be battles within the Federation, which will involve disputes between the first family and the fifth family.And the inside line he contacted can easily let their team board the big ship of the federal nobles.

After a series of transactions and communications, they will work with the Federation Fleet to wipe out the remnants of Star Nader. The nobles will get rid of their thorns, and the stars will replace Luther Nader and become the new spokesperson of the frontier planet.This would be a near-equal deal. When those nobles leave with confidence, what will be left on the border is a force that is strong enough and will not be controlled by others.And, true "balance".

As long as he chooses the right person to invest in.

And he, since he was born, has never made a wrong choice.

Bryce's eyes turned to the porthole in front of him, staring at the dark night, he seemed to see the scene that made him tremble deeply at the time, the mecha of a different and ordinary model rushed into the enemy line, like tearing up a piece of paper , Shredding the mecha and spaceship in front of him.He had never seen such a terrifying humanoid weapon, no one dared to call it by its original name, but trembling all over, murmured a code name like "Wrath of the Stars".Just like that battleship, the embodied anger of that black armor can only make people have the urge to prostrate and bow down.

He understood in his heart why the rebellious Christina would lead his mine star to surrender, and he also knew why Crazy Worf would obey that person.That is a power that surpasses their class, and even surpasses the top combat power of most Federation or Star Alliance knights.No one dared to show off their power in front of such power.

However, strength is only strength after all. The reason why human beings stepped out of the primitive planet is not by strength beyond other species, but by wisdom.He is confident, possesses wisdom far stronger than strength, as long as he grasps the opportunity, he can complete his plan.

Become the well-deserved "second person" in the team.

Bryce smiled, a reserved and sinister smile flashed by, and he raised his chin at his subordinates: "Contact the Fourth Fleet, we are ready to return."
