Chapter 2624 Jess Empire Norn
After a busy trip, Cruze ran back and found Xiao Ran. At this time, Xiao Ran was already preparing to return home and return to Althea Planet. The biggest enemies of this mission had all been eliminated, and the remaining The only thing is to fulfill the agreement promised to the princess Arthea Star before. Liberating the entire galaxy or completely destroying Glaive Empire is not a problem at all. Then there is no need for Xiao Ran to be busy with the big legion.
So Xiao Ran is ready to take his 'wives' back to Arthea Star to relax and have a good rest. By the way, he can also train with Hana to get familiar with the ability link, and relax in the newly built castle.
Xiao Ran was also a little surprised after seeing Cruze running towards him again. "What happened again?"
Cruze shrugged his shoulders. "Of course I came here only if something happened. I talked to the people from those legions. One of the twenty-five legions was unlucky and was wiped out. Of the remaining twenty-four legions, the twenty small legions all agreed to become our affiliated legions."
"The only giant legion required a meeting with the boss of the legion before making a decision. The other three large legions were a bit troublesome."
Xiao Ran asked, "What's going on."
Cruze said, "Those three legions did not come with the whole legion, and Legion Leader didn't have any control over them. Although their legions are not as large as this giant legion, their upper level strength is not much worse than this giant legion. The only difference is that they cannot reach the current giant legion in terms of soft power."
Hard power refers to the strength of the legion participants themselves, while soft power refers to the overall strength of the entire legion. Today's Burning Legion really belongs to the kind where the hard power is temporarily insufficient and the soft power is terrifyingly strong, but it will no longer exist when the next mission is over.
Xiao Ran frowned slightly. Xiao Ran felt a little troublesome when Cruze said this. After thinking about it, Xiao Ran asked, "The people here can't make the decision, so we can only let them go? What about the issue of compensation? How are we talking about it?"
"The key is that they are willing to compensate, but they may not be able to afford it. Legion Wars lost and all were captured. Their legion finally had to pay for the prisoners. This way, their legion will probably be drained."
"That means we don't know whether they can afford to pay compensation. Legion Leader is not here and they can't decide to sign a contract and come over?" Xiao Ran chuckled and said, "Then what do they mean?"
Cruze said, "They are willing to join Burning Legion, but they can't make the decision."
Xiao Ran shook his head. "First set the amount of compensation and redemption amount higher, and then give them a three-day relaxation period after the mission is over, forcing their legion to join. If they don't join, they will be forced to go bankrupt and disintegrate. Then we will bring these people in, and sign a contract with them to join Burning Legion."
Cruze nodded. "Then I will do as you said. When will you meet over there?"
"Now without further ado."
Cruze responded and stood up. Not long after, several people appeared in Xiao Ran's office. In Xiao Ran's office, Zeng Jia, Basak, Master Asia, plus Hana, and six bodyguards stayed in the office to ensure the safety of Xiao Ran.
There were two people coming over from that giant legion. They were the real BOSS Black-haired Man hidden behind the scenes and his strong retainer.
After the two people entered Xiao Ran's office, Xiao Ran politely asked them to sit down, and then asked, "I don't know your names yet."
Black-haired Man showed a bitter smile when he heard Xiao Ran's words, raised his head and said to Xiao Ran, "Jess Empire Legion Leader, Norn·Jace, this is my retainer Mu Yi·Jace."
"Jess Empire, what is the name of your legion?" Xiao Ran asked, "This should also be a real empire, right?"
Black-haired Man Norn said, "Yes, Jess Empire is the empire located in the second cantilever of Behemoth Galaxy. I am the prince of this country."
Everyone in the entire office, including Xiao Ran, kept a calm look on their faces, but Behemoth Galaxy, Lao Shizi, was a galaxy that no one had even heard of.
Norn looked at Xiao Ran's expressionless look and said with a wry smile, "It is a galaxy very far away from this Milky Way. It is normal not to know. The entire universe is so huge and has trillions of lives and planets. No one knows what different galaxies are called in different places."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Then what is the purpose of you two wanting to meet me."
Norn said, "I want to see what kind of person Legion Leader is, who is called Vicious Legion in Super Zone. But now it seems that the word vicious is obviously inappropriate to use on you. What I mean is that the word vicious is far from describing your scheming and acting style."
Xiao Ran was not angry but smiled, "To be honest, you are the first person to say that I am vicious in front of us, which is very fresh."
Norn asked, "Can you tell me, if we hadn't carelessly jumped the entire fleet into your ambush circle this time, but only sent the top combat power and a small part of the force, what would you have done, and what would you have arranged to wait for us after we left."
Xiao Ran asked, "Is this important?"
Norn said, "It's very important to me."
"It doesn't matter if I answer you." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "If it is true as you said, we will use an ambush and send out senior pilots as much as possible to consume your senior combat power. If you see the situation is not good and prepare to leave, or if you have not surrendered and left before, there are indeed arrangements waiting for you. I would like to ask you, if your strength is weakened by us and your base camp is destroyed by us, where will you choose to go after leaving."
Norn said, "I should try to gather the power of the entire Glaive Empire, or form an alliance with them, or control Glaive Empire, let Glaive Empire's combat power consume you, and launch a decisive battle against you at the right opportunity. During this process, I will try to hide it as much as possible, and at the same time, I will tap into the power of the entire universe."
"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded and said, "It's pretty much what I thought. If you don't take the initiative to die if you are rude and face a force more powerful than you, this is indeed the safest approach, and my judgment on your next actions is similar."
"In fact, maybe you have placed people in the Glaive Empire, but I have also placed people in the Glaive Empire. Not only have I placed some people inside the Glaive Empire, but I have also allowed my people to create a third force in the Glaive Empire, a force that Glaive Empire will never allow to develop, a Divine Authority Faction."
"Whether you are in contact with the Glaive Empire or are looking for other forces, this Divine Authority Faction will definitely appear in your eyes. This is an additional theocratic power system that is separate from all the current Prometheus mecha systems, so you will definitely come into contact with them and find them to cooperate to deal with us."
"But that's not all. I have also prepared a fourth force, an invader force that will regard the entire universe as an enemy."
"You don't need me to say anything more when you get to this place."
Norn was silent for a while and nodded slightly. "We did not lose unjustly and surrendered in time. According to what you said, there is indeed a more dangerous situation waiting for us later. If you calculate step by step, you may not even give us a chance to fight head-on and completely disintegrate our alliance of twenty-five legions."
"I am willing to sign an agreement. After the mission is over, the Jess Empire Legion will become the subordinate legion of the Burning Legion. Finally, can I ask about your strength?"
"It's hard to say based on the rating of Super Zone, but the worst case scenario is that no one can kill me, but I can't kill anyone either."
Norn asked, "Real Zone's level is all that high, and the participants over there are all like you?"
Xiao Ran said, "It's hard to say, but the participants in Real Zone pay more attention to strategy than bravery. Although I can also understand the saying that strength determines everything, but when the strength is the same, strategy becomes the most important."
Norn shook his head. "Strategy... This failure has nothing to do with strategy. The failure is due to the collection of intelligence, the difference in strength between us, and even more to my mentality, because I have never regarded you as a real opponent, but only used you as a tool to use, together with the other twenty-four legions."
"Very unwilling?" Xiao Ran looked at Norn and asked with a smile, "I can feel the resentment and unwillingness in your heart. Your inner emotions are not as calm and resigned as what appears on your face. Are all the princes of your country so good at disguising their emotions and controlling their expressions like this?"
Norn was stunned for a moment, and there was no change on his face. He just faced the words Xiao Ran suddenly said with silence.
"You want to see me just for one reason. You want to resolve the resentment in your heart and convince yourself, because you know that you have no choice at all, either die or join Burning Legion. If you want to survive, you must follow Burning Legion. You have no way to vent your grievances to us, so you can only convince yourself to become free and easy."
"That's a good idea. You are a smart person who knows how to make the right choice. Now are you happy?"
Norn closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled. "I'm convinced. I'm convinced."
Xiao Ran raised his hand. "Then sign the contract. From now on, Jess Empire will become the affiliated legion of the Burning Legion. All permissions will be open to the Burning Legion. At the same time, the Jess Empire legion will also enjoy the corresponding benefits of the Burning Legion Second-level treatment for members, they are not allowed to betray Burning Legion, they are not allowed to leak information about the Burning Legion, they are not allowed to betray any member of the Burning Legion, they are not allowed to consciously cause harm to all relevant legion members, and they are not allowed to leave the legion. These are probably the standard templates you should take a look at for yourself."
Norn did not look at what popped up in front of his eyes, but directly signed for confirmation, and signed the ownership contract in the name of the Jess Empire Legion Leader.
After the other party signed the contract, Xiao Ran had a prompt. Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Then you are welcome to join the Burning Legion family. In addition, the legion will have many rules. There will be dedicated people to give you tutoring classes. Don't ignore these courses. You still have a lot to learn after joining Burning Legion."
"We have collected intelligence about you before. Your legion seems to have a Faction Territory? What kind of world is it?"
Norn, who has signed a contract and completely became a member of the Burning Legion, said without any concealment, "There is a world with Ancient Civilization and giant robots, but the overall technological level on the planet has not reached the level that can span the universe. I also asked people to dig a lot, and indeed I found a lot of Ancient Civilization's technology."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. "In that case, how did you get the battleships in your fleet?"
Norn said, "It developed slowly. I am also a prince of the empire, and as a participant, the source of technology is also very broad. Moreover, there are many affiliated legions below that have been providing us with Merit Points and technology. We bought some and made some, but now after this battle, there is not much left."
Xiao Ran nodded lightly, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to think for a while, and said, "I understand, the territory will be taken over by the Burning Legion, but it will continue to be under the name of your legion. All permissions must be opened to all members of the Burning Legion. Then I will purchase a portal to link this place with other territories under the legion's name."
Norn, who has completely sold himself to Xiao Ran, will naturally not have any objections. According to normal circumstances, if they do not surrender to the Burning Legion, then this territory will eventually fall into the hands of the Burning Legion, as war compensation.
Xiao Ran asked again, "What happened to those three large legions? Why didn't their Legion Leader follow them?"
Norn said, "Those three legions are not our subordinate legions, but we have a close relationship and I need to use them before hiring them. Their overall strength is worse than Jess Empire, so Jess Empire will be the main one in the cooperation. The purpose of hiring them this time is to turn this world into Faction Territory."
"And my initial plan was to weaken all the small and medium-sized legions and then take them over. Those legions are not part of the main force at all. When the time is almost up, the only ones who will really fight you are our four legions. The reason why their Legion Leader did not come is because they have their own missions. We never thought that this mission would turn out like this."
