Star Sea Lord

Seeing the sphere, Zhou Meng couldn't help but change color, and lost her voice: "It's this thing? Your old man is really willing!"

Zuo Shiji said seriously: "It's a good thing, but it has to be in the hands of the right people to play its true role! With Xiao Junling's qualifications, this treasure couldn't be more suitable for him!"

Lan Ya, who was on the sidelines, smiled, and explained to Xiao Junling in a low voice. It turns out that this gold-like object is called "Black Crystal Star", and it is a strange energy-gathering crystal produced in the territory of the Northern Hell civilization. The core, a top-ranking founder of the Zuo family spent several years painstakingly building it a hundred years ago, is a rare equipment specially suitable for people with spiritual abilities.

Its function is to increase energy, which can double the total amount of Xiao Junling's mental power, which means a more durable combat capability on the battlefield; it can also strengthen the effect of skills by 30.00%; Recovery time is halved.

To put it simply and clearly, with this treasure in hand, Xiao Junling's combat power can be doubled on the current basis, and in the future as the rank increases, the combat power will also increase accordingly!Because it is improved proportionally, not an absolute value.

Zhou Meng thought for a while, and asked: "This is considered a treasure in your family's treasury. If you take it out like this, doesn't your old man feel at a disadvantage? After all, your family didn't really participate in their conspiracy this time. Need to pay for their stupidity?"

"Of course not," Zuo Shiji explained frankly,

"On the surface, in order to facilitate this matter, they have given our family a lot of compensation in private. But what made our Patriarch really determined was because the development potential shown by Xiao Junling was worth the price our family paid. Go make friends!"

"Then..." Zhou Meng looked at him meaningfully.

Zuo Shiji looked at Wu Jing beside him, rubbed the center of his brows with some headaches, and said: "I will also hand over the things that those companies gave us to Xiao Junling. That is to say, this piece of equipment is a gift from us alone. A gift to the future Lonely Star God of War as a guarantee for our cooperation."

"So...you should be satisfied?"

Xiao Junling looked at Lan Ya, the manager represented Xi Chen Qinglan's attitude, seeing that she had no objection, he said: "Okay! Since you have shown enough sincerity, then this matter will stop here! I can forget the behavior of those guys like Zhao Chanxuan. I hope they can improve in the future and stop trying to 'send' things to me!"

"Hehe, of course!" Zuo Shiji assured with a smile.

There was nothing to say next, and the few people chatted in vain, and then the couple left in a hurry.

"These two have been busy, how sincere do you think they are?" After they left, Xiao Junling asked Zhou Meng.

"The word sincerity has nothing to do with them!" Zhou Meng said disdainfully,

"But as long as there are enough interests, they can sell everything they have. There is nothing they dare not do, and there is nothing they cannot do. In the future... you will understand!"

Up to now, the young master of the Zuo family has been vacillating on both sides, judging the situation, pretending to be a good person inside and out, hoping to be able to have both sides, Zhou Meng has long been extremely contemptuous of his behavior, and naturally has no good face after meeting.

Xiao Junling smiled disapprovingly: "Everyone has his own way of life, he likes this way, we can't control him! Just be more careful in the future! I hope that after this lesson, they will calm down for a while."

"Of course, this is basically guaranteed!" Zhou Meng said,

"They have shed so much blood this time, and the old guys at the top of the family are already very dissatisfied with them. Even if there is any conspiracy, at least until the end of this war, it is unlikely to make any more moves! "

In order to settle the bad consequences brought about by this matter, these wealthy families not only have to spend a lot of money to buy Xiao Junling, but also have to provide enough benefits on the side of Marshal and Xichen Qinglan to allow these two big men to let them go a horse.Adding up all the expenditures, even with the profound background of their aristocratic families, it feels a bit overwhelming!

Therefore, unless there is a very special reason, or they have enough confidence in success, they will not spend any more energy on this matter.

……

After days of attacks, the Gambinos' legion was defeated again and again. The six provinces close to the human world, a total of 130 and nine star fields, were all captured by the tiger and wolf division of the empire, and the ensuing large-scale plunder and The star-slaying operation wiped out one-seventh of the wealth and population of the Gambino civilization!

Coupled with the fleet and elite high-end combat power lost in previous battles, it means that the war potential of Gambino civilization in the next ten years has been consumed by more than half!It is basically impossible to return to the pre-war state without large-scale foreign assistance!

Now, those who are still willing to organize defense lines near the wormholes on the borders of the major provinces and the main channel to resist the attack of the imperial army, only the troops of those local tribes are left, and the elite army directly under the royal court has long since secretly given up. After eliminating these tribes that were not regarded as the core force, they turned to concentrate all the remaining forces and fully retreated to the territory directly under the royal court.

Elder Tim Naert has issued several conscript orders on behalf of the royal court, relocating almost all the elites in the star fields not yet occupied by the imperial army to the territory directly under the royal court, and then some of them were transferred to The remote wild star field, in case the overall situation is unsustainable, leave some seeds of revival for this civilization.

Therefore, when the many imperial squadrons that had completed the cleansing plan reunited and continued to attack new provinces, it was discovered that there were not many decent legions that dared to block the advance of the imperial army!Those troops assembled by small and medium-sized local tribes are not even as good as second-rate miscellaneous troops!

Immediately, the huge imperial army ran into the flock like a tiger, and started killing them!In just three days, another one and a half provinces, a total of 41 star fields and more than [-] administrative planets were turned into purgatory and scorched earth!

"At our marching speed, it only takes about two more months to reduce the number of individuals in this civilization to less than ten percent of what it was before the war!"

Li Weizhong said to Xue Cangyun,

"At that time, without a sufficient population and wealth, the strategic potential of the Gambino civilization will be weakened to an unprecedented level, and it will not be possible to recover within the next hundred years, even if they can win over from other civilizations." aid!"

If a civilization wants to rise and become stronger, certain key conditions are essential!For example, a vast territory, a large enough number of individuals, rich resources for survival and development, powerful armed forces, etc.!

Without these conditions, the entire civilization would become a tree without roots, a castle in the air!No matter how strong and wise the high-level people are, they cannot guarantee the status of the entire ethnic group in the star sea.

Once the Gambino civilization falls into such a situation, it will completely lose the qualification to challenge the empire, and it will be completely reduced to a second-rate or even a third-rate civilization. It is only a matter of time before the genocide is exterminated!

This trend is not only well known by the imperial government, but also by the decision-makers of the empire and the various races in the Xinghai.Certain forces that don't want to see this situation happen have decided to unite and move around, trying to stop the offensive of the Imperial Army as much as possible.

Therefore, Xue Cangyun's pressure has suddenly increased in recent days.
