Epplas is Native inhabitant of Prometheus, and also serves as an evaluator in the Legion Alliance council of a subsidiary organization of the Legion Hall. He is Native inhabitant, but he is also a Native inhabitant who can deal with many participants and legions. His identity and job responsibilities are very special.
Native inhabitant is actually very mysterious in the eyes of many participants, because these Native inhabitant exist in Prometheus and they are equivalent to two completely different groups. They do not need to participate in tasks and face dangers. At the same time, what is their life like and what do they have? What abilities and rights are unclear, the only thing that is known is that Native inhabitant cannot leak anything about other participants, so it feels like they know a lot of things, but the participants cannot ask Native inhabitant. Whether they know more or less is a secret.
Epplas said Super Zone and the lunatic army, which shows that he is related to Super Zone. It also seems to show that there is another set of communication channels between Native inhabitant that can communicate across regions.
In this way, Epplas should even know the general strength of the Burning Legion, but he has never shown it to any participants, including Xiao Ran.
After Epplas's evaluation team confirmed the final result and uploaded Legion Council and Legion Hall at the same time, it didn't take long for the entire army fifty meters in front of Prometheus to instantly become lively with the news.
As soon as a legion that has never participated in Legion Council joins, it will challenge the legion ranking that has been sitting in the fourth position for a long time. A legion that has long been known for its mystery among the Prometheus legion is finally about to lift its mysterious veil.
No one will think that Burning Legion is overestimating his capabilities. One of the meanings of Legion Council's existence is to target the guy who overestimates his capabilities and disrupts the legion environment. Now that the evaluation team has given the final result, it shows that Burning Legion indeed has the ability to challenge the fourth place.
But many legions will wonder why Burning Legion chose to stand up suddenly at this time, whether it was because of what happened or who provoked them. There will also be people who wonder whether Burning Legion's true strength is only fourth place, or whether it is beyond fourth place but chooses to hide its strength.
But most legions still had mixed feelings after knowing this. Burning Legion already has the ability to rank fourth. This is another top legion that has always been wearing a mysterious label under the noses of many people but is developing rapidly. All the previous uncertainties about the Burning Legion have been partially confirmed at this time.
But the most complicated and embarrassing thing in my heart is only three of the fifty legions, the fourth, the fifth, and the last fiftieth.
For the fourth-ranked legion, they may not have thought that their status would be challenged so suddenly. It is inexplicable. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a look of confusion. They have never provoked Burning Legion, and they have never interacted with the Burning Legion has had too many contacts, and there is not even the slightest rumor that he will face an "enemy" suddenly. Victory is okay, but failure is equivalent to turning himself into a step for the Burning Legion to ascend to the throne. This is simply preparing to step on their heads and sit on the throne.
The fifth legion was also embarrassed and annoyed. They were not qualified to interfere in the Burning Legion's first challenge. They could only watch Burning Legion and the fourth-ranked legion decide the final outcome. If the fourth-ranked legion won, they would accept Burning Legion's challenge in the second game to confirm whether Burning Legion could get the fifth position again.
But if the fourth legion fails directly, they will no longer have the opportunity to be challenged and will be directly kicked out of the top five seats. They will also lose all the rights they could enjoy when they were ranked fifth. The embarrassment is true because they can only wait for the result, and the irritability is true because they can only accept the result.
For the 50th, it can be said that they are Legion Council's goalkeepers. Their strength is actually quite good. At least they are still qualified as goalkeepers. But what they have to face now is that they will inevitably be kicked out of the top 50 and lose Legion Council's seat. They will be completely reduced from a good legion to an ordinary legion.
The situation of the entire Prometheus Real Zone legion is almost divided into three types. The first is the first to fifth place, which are the seats that can only be held by the top legion. The second kind is the sixth to fiftieth place, which can have its own seat in the parliament and participate in discussions and express opinions. Then there are the fifty-first and after, mediocre, ordinary, and garbage.
The fourth-placed legion restored Legion Council after intensive discussion for half an hour. Then Renard received the news and immediately conveyed it to Xiao Ran.
"Three days later, Arena Zone closed legion battle... full scale, encounter battle."
"Full scale?" Xiao Ran looked at Renard who slowly spoke out the notice given by Legion Council, and suddenly became a little silent.
Renard roughly stated what Xiao Ran is thinking now, "The uncertainty of the full-scale Legion Leader is the greatest. In a full-scale battle, even an unranked legion is likely to have the combat power of a high-ranked legion, just like we did before, so we cannot be sure at all whether the opponent has any trump cards or reserve combat power."
"But since the other party chooses to be closed, it means that they have not thought about exposing their power to the outside world. I think I can contact them and we can sign a confidentiality agreement with each other."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, then shook his head and said helplessly, "Why bother? Why bother? It's just ordinary. Just use the participants to appear. Why do you have to make a full-scale one? Is it to shock us and let us know the gap, or are you prepared to fight to the death to keep your fourth position?"
Renard said, "I think it's all right. If you can keep your ranking, keep it. After all, fourth is more stable than fifth. Maybe they want to fight us head-on to confirm our strength. They want to scare us not to mess with them. Even if they fail, they can tell us that they are not easy to mess with."
At this time, there was a knock on the office door and Cruze opened the door and walked in. He looked at the two people sitting on the sofa and smiled, "You have caused another big incident in the past few days."
Xiao Ran looked at Cruze, waved his hand to Yao who was still standing by the door and said to Cruze, "Have you finished handling your matter?"
"Originally, it was almost handled, but something happened when you suddenly caused such a big incident." Cruze said with a smile, "Shadow Blade Legion's cooperation terms have been all confirmed, but Bolsia's side was originally only prepared to cooperate with us to a certain extent, but now they expressed their desire to further deepen the cooperative relationship with us because of the commotion you made."
Xiao Ran did not give a direct answer but said, "Let me take a look at the cooperation terms of the Shadow Blade Legion."
Cruze took out his Personal Terminal and handed it to Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran also carefully read all the displayed terms.
After reading it, Xiao Ran looked up and looked at Cruze: "This is not like a cooperation clause, but more like an ancillary agreement?"
Cruze smiled, "Actually, there is no difference. Since they want greater support from us, of course they have to pay more."
"In the original terms of cooperation, I gave them a 20% discount on trade transactions alone, but they worked hard to obtain a 50% discount on the open access to the entire catalog, such as the protection agreement and the common enemy and common war agreement. I provided a phased payment of protection fees on a pay-per-use basis. They also worked hard to obtain ultra-low-price phased payments, and also obtained mission protection and team leadership agreements in addition to the hostile protection agreement."
"Of course, our purpose is to support them, so I have given a nominal zero charge for the protection fee, but they must buy everything they need from us Burning Legion in the future, including airframes, battleships, weapons, etc. They can only buy what we don't have."
"There are also things like Mentorship Agreement, guidance agreement, etc. The first batch they are going to buy from us are a batch of cores, bloodlines, airframes, battleships and Portable Armor as the first protection fee."
"After all, the situation of our legion really scares them, and it is a real golden opportunity for them, not to mention the ranking battle."
Xiao Ran nodded and said, "But it still needs to be mutually beneficial. I don't want the Legion to become a giant blood-sucking worm. I hope they can truly grow up and become Burning Legion's reliable partners. The stronger the people who unite around us, the greater the benefit to us. Instead of absorbing their flesh and blood to allow ourselves to obtain meaningless benefits that limit their development."
"Just like the current Legion Council, if the top five are all allies who firmly support us, and the top fifty are all firm partners, then we will be truly strong, instead of hanging ourselves alone in the first position and then being hostile and squinted by the other 49."
"As for the core matter, you need to communicate with Durandal and Luo. I'm not sure whether we can make it ourselves now."
Cruze said, "I have already asked, mass production is no problem, but the output has not been improved. Selling them one or two hundred units is no problem."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Okay, then it will be determined according to these terms. It is not an affiliated subsidiary, that's fine. In the future, if there are legions that want to embrace the thigh, this agreement will be the standard. Then what level of cooperation does Bolsia want to achieve?"
Cruze said, "Technical exchanges, pilot exchanges, business exchanges, etc. Finally, we hope to reach strategic cooperation with us, sharing enemies, sharing friends, and mutual assistance in missions."
Xiao Ran asked, "What technology do they have that we urgently need but don't have?"
Cruze shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "I didn't find it."
"Then temporarily suppress technical exchanges. Pilot exchanges are allowed, and commercial transactions are allowed. We can give them discounts and make the catalog fully public. Of course they must do the same. There is no problem with mutual assistance in missions, and there is no problem with common friends. If we are common enemies, we will tell them that they need to think about it. If we confirm it, we can sign it as a supplementary agreement."
"If they are unwilling to disclose the full catalog, we will also block it according to the degree of printing. The maximum body level cannot exceed S1 but can be customized. The bloodline will not be sold, the core will not be sold, the New Series battleship will not be sold, and the limited series weapons will not be sold. Portable Armor will not exceed A level."
Most of the participants in Prometheus have no bottom line at all, so even if they sign a contract, there is a high possibility of violating the contract. However, participants can have no bottom line, but Prometheus's own bottom line is very high. Prometheus uses its own bottom line to raise the lower limit of all participants. At least the contract cannot be violated, and the fact that violation will inevitably lead to severe punishment makes the participants dare not violate the contract. Unless both parties terminate it amicably, otherwise they will have to give him a gift if they want to betray.
Cruze nodded to express understanding, and then said, "I'm fine here, Renard how is your side?"
"Full-scale legion encounter in three days, virtual battle." Renard also told Cruze the reply he received, and then said, "You were still discussing this matter before you came."
"Haha, full scale?" Cruze showed the exact same expression as Xiao Ran just now, nodded and said, "Why not choose full scale?"
Renard said, "We have the same idea, so I am going to sign a confidentiality agreement with the legion currently ranked fourth."
Cruze asked, "What if they don't sign?"
Xiao Ran smiled leisurely, "Then we will be a permanent neutral legion ranked fourth and actually number one. We will not participate in any wars and conflicts between the Participant Legion. We are willing to trade and cooperate with all legions. We will be a neutral legion and an arms dealer. I believe no one will dare to favor us."
"It won't be much more difficult to provoke conflicts among these legions than to arrange those forces, camps, and enemies in the mission, and it won't be too difficult to cultivate some supporters."
Cruze and Renard glanced at Xiao Ran, smiled and nodded gently. Now Burning Legion even stood on the heads of other legions and made a Shen Teng-style challenge. Provocation, come here, I'm afraid not many legions can bear the consequences of coming to create conflicts, not to mention Burning Legion doesn't seem to be a Shen Teng-style provocation, it should be said to be more extreme than that, the kind carrying a rocket launcher, come here~~~~
After contacting Renard, the fourth-ranked legion quickly responded in the affirmative. In fact, just as Xiao Ran and Renard thought, since the closed type is chosen, it must be wrong. They want others to know the true strength of their legion, and Burning Legion really has no grudges against them. The fight was just because of the rules. After the fight, both parties understood each other and could still keep it secret together and become friends.
No matter who is fourth or who is fifth, if the two parties truly become friends, wouldn't their right to speak among the five seats be greatly increased?
