The intelligence included the location of all of Germinal's nuclear warheads. Dismantling these warheads would render Germinal's Dead Hand System useless, preventing it from even achieving mutual destruction.
When he stole intelligence from the Germinal headquarters, his intention was to deliver it to the Six Nations so that Germinal would be destroyed sooner, and his Grade A main quest [The Seed Sleeps in the Dust] could be completed sooner. The current progress is 36.2%. Delivering this batch of intelligence will further enhance his role in the Germinal War, and the progress is expected to increase further.
The only piece of information he kept was Advanced Knowledge. Han Xiao planned to sell this to players and make a fortune. Controlling the source was the key to monopolizing the market, and he was very experienced at this.
The representatives of the Six Nations stood up abruptly, their faces filled with excitement.
"It's all classified!"
"With this intelligence, we can end this war sooner!"
"Well done!"
This intelligence will bring unimaginable benefits to the Six Nations. It's like two people playing cards; if you can see through your opponent's hand, the advantage is obvious, and the course of the battle will change with the release of this intelligence.
The person who started all of this was Han Xiao, who was sitting at the end of the conference table picking his ear.
The representatives from various countries exchanged glances discreetly, and a moment of silence fell over the atmosphere.
Han Xiao, being understanding, said, "Alright, the intelligence has been given. What you do with it is up to you. I'm leaving now."
He got up to leave, but stopped abruptly after pushing open the door. He turned around abruptly, saw the indifferent expressions on everyone's faces, and said with disappointment, "Really no ambush...?"
The representatives from various countries twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Ambush? Don't you have any idea how strong you are?!
We want to live to retirement, you bastards!
Gu Hui wiped away his cold sweat. "Your intelligence is crucial; it's been a huge help to us. We need to hold an emergency meeting... so you'd better leave now."
The situation in the Expeditionary War changed drastically within a few days. The troops of the Six Nations seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, advancing by leaps and bounds, sweeping away the enemy army time and time again like autumn Fallen Leaves, achieving great victories. On the four battlefields in the east, west, south and north, the Germinal showed signs of decline, were snowballed, and gradually began to collapse, with their territory shrinking more and more.
The world was watching the war closely and was taken aback by the sudden change. After making inquiries from various sources, they learned that Han Xiao had leaked the stolen intelligence to the Six Nations.
When Han Xiao's true identity was revealed some time ago, he was surrounded and became the focus of the struggle between Germinal and the Six Nations. Han Xiao was in the encirclement, like being in the Wind Eye, surrounded by even fiercer gales: the battles on all fronts had reached a fever pitch, and a large number of Germinal's troops were being held back by the Six Nations, which was why they were short of manpower. All the long-range bombing missiles they launched were intercepted by the Six Nations at any cost.
At that time, all the factions had a premonition that if Han Xiao could escape, it would probably change the entire situation.
Sure enough, he became the turning point of the entire war!
He was the one who secretly started the war, and he was also the one who would end it, leaving all the forces in awe.
The title of legend is well-deserved!
With the war going well, the Six Nations began broadcasting updates on the situation domestically to reassure the people and announce the imminent end of the war. The citizens of each nation felt a sense of relief, and the domestic pressure eased considerably. Of course, the media inevitably embellished the story of Germinal, even though Germinal was already quite shady, they still habitually added to the smear campaign, emphasizing that the expedition was absolutely just, politically correct, and a defense of their homeland.
Players on Planet Aquamarine have personally noticed the changes in the battle situation, the most direct feeling being that there are fewer missions.
Originally, thanks to Han Xiao's instigation, the conflict Six Nations and Germinal broke out ahead of schedule, minimizing the impact on the players' participation in the storyline. They could only play a minor role, but at least the players had something to do. However, the war suddenly went smoothly, and now even playing a minor role became a luxury, and the players were completely reduced to spectators.
The Germinal players were an exception; they actually had more tasks... and at the same time, they gained more experience from failing tasks.
If we calculate based on the increase in the number of tasks and the rate of failure, it seems they actually lost money...
Players from both sides clashed frequently, with players from the Six Nations gloating on the forums, while the Germinal players were left heartbroken.
Why does the Black Phantom keep hurting us?
You clearly show affection to all the other players, but we don't get any benefits at all. Is this what they call being treated like an illegitimate child?!
It's a pity it was born in its Germinal!
Garbage Germinal, give me back my youth!
Han Xiao's experiences during the war were all found out, and enthusiastic players edited them into a short video, which they excitedly shared on the forum. The effect was like watching a short film, and the response was very good.
However, the short film was missing the final battle. Players weren't present during the boss ambush, so there was no live recording. Players felt something was missing and were eagerly anticipating the fight, which was a great pity.
As a result, Meat Bun Hits Dog, who claimed to be "broadcasting first-hand information about Black Phantom," was caught in the crossfire and his personal space was bombarded by players.
"What happened to the firsthand information you promised? This is utterly shameful! Take your skirt off!"
"Trash streamer, followed!"
"Why aren't you dressed as a woman and apologizing? Do you still want recommendation votes?!"
Rumors were flying everywhere, causing a great uproar and chaos. Meanwhile, Han Xiao had already boarded a plane to return home, leaving Andia and taking Hila and Aurora with him, along with Bennett and the others, back to the Southern Continent.
Stepping out of the cabin, the warm air of the Southern Continent greeted him, washing away the lingering smell of gunpowder in his lungs. Han Xiao comfortably squinted his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and his mental fatigue eased.
He had spent the longest time in the Southern Continent, and now he felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he were returning to his hometown, and his whole body felt relaxed.
Hila led Aurora the plane. Aurora was excited, looking left and right as if she wished she had an extra pair of eyes. Everything in the outside world was new and exciting to her, and she couldn't get enough of looking at it. She kept asking Hila questions.
"I'm heading back to First Sanctuary now; I still have some backlogged business to catch up on," Bennett said, and left with his men.
Hannes and Vernina nodded to Han Xiao and left together, leaving only Han Xiao, Hila, and Aurora, making things much quieter.
Upon arriving in the Southern Continent, Hila suddenly remembered that when Germinal withdrew its troops from the Southern Continent, she had fought with Han Xiao and was even injured by him. At that time, she had decided to get revenge.
Hila couldn't help but sigh at the cruel twist of fate, never expecting things to turn out this way.
"Where is your territory?" Hila asked.
His territory was naturally the Sanctuary. Han Xiao remembered that when he left, the Sanctuary had completed its initial construction. He wondered how the progress was after so long.
In the dead of night, the Third Sanctuary was brightly lit, like a sleepless night in the wilderness.
A group of burly men dressed in refugee clothing walked hurriedly through the alleys of the Sanctuary's residential area, their eyes darting around, seemingly harboring ill intentions.
This group of people were bandits who disguised themselves as refugees and infiltrated the Third Sanctuary.
As the Third Sanctuary expanded and its reputation spread, some bandits began to have designs on it. They discovered that the Third Sanctuary had stockpiled a large amount of supplies, and some of them, driven by greed, decided to take the risk.
As they passed an intersection, they heard voices talking. The group quickly hid in an alley and waited for several other players to pass before quietly revealing themselves and continuing on their way.
"There are too many Inhuman here; we'd better be careful," one of them said.
The bandit leader, a burly man with a crooked mouth, spat out a mouthful of phlegm indignantly upon hearing this, and cursed, "These Inhuman are all a bunch of disgusting monsters."
In the "One-Book" section, the native inhabitants of Planet Aquamarine are very hostile towards the Inhuman, regarding them as aliens. Racism is commonplace among them. Of course, their deepest thought is envy and jealousy of the Inhuman ' inability to die.
"Let's go to the warehouse; if we can grab even a little bit of supplies, we'll be rich."
Dozens of meters behind the bandits, Frenzied Saber, Hao Tian, Maple Moon, Meat Bun stealthily followed them. They had discovered this group of strangely behaving "refugees" by chance, triggering an emergency mission to track them, so they quietly followed them.
"There are thirty-four of them, averaging around level ten. There's only one mini-boss; the rest are just regular monsters," Meat Bun whispered.
"They're all yellow-named; I wonder if they're enemies," Maple Moon said.
If they killed the wrong residents of the Sanctuary, they would lose favor with the Sanctuary. The group patiently followed them and eventually arrived near the warehouse.
The warehouse was heavily guarded, with armed personnel from the Dark Net patrolling. The gang of thieves hid in the shadows. The burly man with the crooked mouth kept glancing at his watch and whispered, "Once the people who bombed the power plant succeed, the power in this area will be paralyzed. We'll take advantage of the chaos to move the supplies."
