Yeah, expedition army commander was beheaded, Black Star actually gave up continue attack, clarifying is thinks that time after time nibbled our army, but Three Kings did not give up the Glittering World's competition, continue invest military strength to be useful? Does not make Super A Grade participate, this brings death purely, Black Star has proven, he has ability to behead commander anytime and anywhere.” “哎,远征军指挥官被斩首,黑星却放弃了继续进攻,摆明了是想一次次蚕食我们的军队,可三王死活不放弃闪耀世界的竞争,继续投入兵力有什么用?不让超A级参与,这纯粹是送死,黑星已经证明了,他随时随地有能力斩首指挥官。” In a private small-scale reception room, several top real power officials sit on the sofa, complaint. 一间私密的小型会客室里,几位顶层的实权官员坐在沙发上,抱怨不已。 In a moment ago, the information of expedition army commanding officer sacrifice passed on, Modo Three Kings convenes high tier to meet, when getting angry, promoted the new captain in expedition army with great speed directly, and makes the military send out the more troops to go to support. 就在刚才,远征军司令牺牲的情报传了回来,摩多三王召集高层开会,在发怒之余,火速在远征军内部直接提拔了新的指挥者,并让军方派出更多人马前去支援。 At that time numerous official surface on the scene did not have the objection, but opposed many degree was gradually raised, therefore after the congress went on, the real power official who several had the opposition is meeting in secret. 当时在场的众多官员表面都没有异议,但是不少人内心的反对程度逐渐提升,于是在大会开完之后,几个持有反对态度的实权官员在私下里会面。 In the room, Maruko is the position highest official, he is Modo interior one mainstream politics faction No. 3 character, the right to speak is large, at this time opens the mouth slowly: 房间里,马鲁科是地位最高的官员,他是摩多内部一个主流政治派系三号人物,话语权颇大,此时缓缓开口: This way incorrect, has Black Star this opponent, Modo has almost no opportunity in Glittering World, gives up as soon as possible is the sane choice , to continue to tow, will only make the Modo's pressure bigger and bigger, to is unable to withstand the load finally.” “这样下去不行的,有黑星这个对手,摩多闪耀世界几乎没有任何机会,尽早放弃才是理智的选择,继续拖着,只会让摩多的压力越来越大,到最后不堪重负。” What said is ah, these days, the home not calm and steady...... Three Great Civilizations' many unofficial organization started the so-called peace movement in many colonial star, incited the social anti-war sentiments with armament parade, organization strike and other forms, forcing us to draw back troops, many industries were affected deeply. The fellow of harboring ulterior motives in the dissemination ethnic fracture ideological trend, attacks the system, to publicize the hatred, can reverse our for many years ethnic group to live together in peace and harmony unexpectedly the education, successfully inculcates the discrimination thought to some people, if given time, will expedite the new rebellious army surely......, even, some important people from all walks of life also encountered the Mysterious Influence assassination, internal disorder and foreign invasion ah.” “说的是,这些日子,国内也不安稳……三大文明的多个非官方组织在多个殖民星掀起了所谓的和平运动,用武装游行、组织罢工等形式煽动社会反战情绪,逼迫我们退兵,许多行业深受影响。还有别有用心的家伙在传播种族分裂思潮,抨击制度、宣扬仇恨,竟然可以扭转我们多年来的族群和睦相处教育,成功给一些民众灌输歧视思想,假以时日,必定会催生新的反抗军……甚至,一些各界要员还遭到了神秘势力刺杀,内忧外患。” Some people sighed, mutter said. 有人叹了口气,喃喃说道。 Maruko shakes the head, Modo dozens years ago for the Glittering World strategic layout, was investing the countless cost, Three Kings is unwilling immediately gives up reasonable. Now the situation changes, adjusting the strategy is our most important choice, since is unable to deal with the Black Star's issue , to continue in the Glittering World resource, is the insignificant waste, should be determined to secure against loss.” 马鲁科摇头,“摩多在几十年前就在为了闪耀世界战略布局,投入了不计其数的成本,三王不甘心立即放弃也是有道理的。只是如今形势发生了变化,调整战略才是我们的首要选择,既然无法处理黑星的问题,继续在闪耀世界投入资源,就是无意义的浪费,应该下定决心止损了。” To ah, the idea of Three Kings Your Distinguished Self is the dying brace, if Super Star Cluster Alliance goes well, we can also rub soup. May want to support Super Star Cluster Alliance to obtain that day of favorable turn...... the hope is too uncertain. Black Star is impossible to look on that this happened, do not look that he now and we are towing, if we have not invested the reinforcements to force-feed him, he will certainly start the general attack, drives out us.” Another person opens the mouth. “对,三王阁下的想法就是死撑,若是超星团同盟得手,咱们也能蹭一口汤。可想要撑到超星团同盟取得转机的那一天……希望太渺茫了。黑星不可能坐视这一幕发生,别看他现在和我们拖着,若是咱们不一直投入援兵喂饱他,他一定会发动总攻,把我们赶出去。”另一人开口。 Maruko drank deep amber brown strong liquor, lowers the sound saying: 马鲁科喝了一口深琥珀色的烈酒,压低声音道: Actually from the beginning, I did not think that Super Star Cluster Alliance can complete the Glittering World strategy, eight parts/most likely will be defeated, but is in conspiracy with other super star cluster civilization to wrestle together. Such being the case, Modo withdraws as soon as possible, gets rid of Three Great Civilizations and Black Star Legion's heavy pressure, will soon restore the national strength, instead is wiser.” “其实从一开始,我就不觉得超星团同盟可以完成闪耀世界战略,八成会失败,只是一起伙同其他超星团文明搏一搏罢了。既然如此,摩多尽早脱身,摆脱三大文明黑星军团的重压,早日恢复国力,反而更明智。” Right right.” “没错没错。” Several people in room deep is so in abundance. 房间里的几人纷纷深以为然。 Maruko narrowed the eye, Modo withstands to lose is bigger, opposition faction will be then more, perhaps we should start to arrange Impeachment Procedure now......” 马鲁科眯了眯眼睛,“摩多承受损失越大,反对派便会越多,或许我们现在该开始筹备弹劾程序了……” hears word, several people are startled, they complained here, didn't think Maruko really have to be put into action the plan. 闻言,几人吃了一惊,他们只是在这里抱怨一下,没想到马鲁科竟然有付诸行动的打算。 However changes mind thinks, this but is actually the one means. 但是转念一想,这倒不失为一个办法。 Modo is the civilization political power that three civilization unions become, a highest leader Modo Three Kings person of delegate one ethnic group, but the thought and political view are the cross races, therefore the Modo's political environment is very complex, similarly is faction stands in great numbers. 摩多是三个文明联合而成的文明政权,最高领袖摩多三王一人代表一个族群,但思想与政见是跨种族的,所以摩多的政治环境十分复杂,同样是派系林立。 But as a result of the particularity of regime, Modo naturally must carry out the balance of power, Three Kings cannot act in a self-serving manner, same has similar legislative body and Congress and so on organization is restricting their power, if the development route in term does not serve most people's interest, or had/left what scandal personally, then can make it leave office with the impeachment way, trades leader. 而由于政体的特殊性,摩多自然要搞权力制衡,三王不能为所欲为,一样有类似议院、国会之类的机构制约着他们的权力,若是任期内的发展路线不符合大多数人的利益,或者个人出了什么丑闻,便可以用弹劾的方式让其下台,换一届领袖 This situation happened in the Modo's history rarely, each Modo Three Kings as long as not does the seething discontent among the people, can go through the term calmly and steadily. 只是这种情况在摩多的历史上很少发生,每一届的摩多三王只要不是干得天怒人怨,就能安稳度过任期。 If Three Kings acts willfully, Modo gradually will pull out spatially, the future is gloomy, if their real road arrives black, that can only impeachment leave office.” “如果三王一意孤行,摩多会被逐渐掏空,前途晦暗,要是他们真一条路走到黑,那只能弹劾下台了。” Maruko said solemnly. 马鲁科沉声道 People glance at each other, some people strengthen some people of hesitations, lowered the sound, is discussing the operation method low voice. 众人对视一眼,有人坚定有人犹豫,纷纷压低了声音,小声讨论着操作手段。 At this moment, Modo internal war opposition faction raised the head gradually, how starts to plan backstab Three Kings. Tracing to the source, is the Black Star's strength, making part of Modo high tier feel desperate, cannot see possibility that overturns. 这一刻,摩多内部的战争反对派渐渐抬头,开始谋划着如何背刺三王。究其根源,正是黑星的实力,让一部分摩多高层感到绝望,看不到翻盘的可能性了。 ...... …… In Modo Civilization, a silver white concealment high warp speed spaceship hovering in piece of nebula, the navigation, outer armor had not symbolized slowly. 摩多文明境内,一艘银白色的隐匿型高曲速飞船悬停在一片星云之中,缓缓航行,外装甲没有标志。 In the cabin, Rottal and Assassin Common Aid Society several cadre sit in a circle around a virtual screen, is glancing over the information in picture. Above is displaying the dense and numerous head pictures, is Modo Civilization people from various circles influential character, the heads of some people have marked red cross , indicating that assassinates successfully. 舱内,罗泰尔刺客共助会的几位干部围坐在一面虚拟屏幕四周,浏览着画面中的信息。上面罗列着密密麻麻的头像,都是摩多文明社会各界具有影响力的人物,有些人的头上已经画上了红叉,表示刺杀成功。 Modo had become one group randomly, big character of some industries were killed, causing minority colonial star local management systems nearly to paralyze, our work effects were evident.” cadre coldly said. 摩多内部已经乱成了一团,一些行业的大人物遇刺身亡,导致少数殖民星的当地管理系统近乎瘫痪了,我们的工作效果显著。”一名干部冷冷道。 Un.” “嗯。” Rottal has been staring at the screen, seems like seeking for next prey. 罗泰尔一直盯着屏幕,似乎是在寻找着下一个猎物 Assassin Common Aid Society did several months of work in Modo, has caused a big confusion, was captured and issues a warrant for arrest by the officials, while hiding here and there continues to commit a crime. 刺客共助会摩多开展了数个月的工作,已经造成了不小的混乱,被官方人员追捕、通缉,在东躲西藏的同时继续犯案。 These days action too radical, we also lost many people, this/should Silence a period of time.” cadre urged. “这些日子的行动太激进,我们也损失了不少人,该沉寂一段时间了。”一名干部劝道。 Rottal nods, shakes the head, said: Temporarily hides, then does in a big way.” 罗泰尔点点头,又摇了摇头,道:“暂时藏匿,然后干个大的。” Saying, him is stretching out the finger, selected on the screen the one of the head picture. 说着,他伸出手指,点了点屏幕上其中一个头像。 cadre on the scene along beginning to count on, the expression solidified on the face, in the eye gradually appeared panic-strickenly with the appearance that does not dare to believe. 在场的干部顺着手指望去,表情都凝固在了脸上,眼里逐渐浮现出惊骇至极与不敢置信的神采。 Object who Rottal selects, impressively is one of the Modo Three Kings! 罗泰尔选中的对象,赫然是摩多三王之一! „Do you want to assassinate one super star cluster civilization highest leader?” cadre stares the big eye, said with amazement: „Were you insane?!” “你要刺杀一个超星团文明最高领袖?”一名干部瞪大眼睛,骇然道:“你疯了?!” They have three leader, few one, no.” The Rottal tone is indifferent, I will begin personally.” “他们有三个领袖,少一个,没什么。”罗泰尔语气淡然,“我会亲自动手。” You know that the behavior of what nature this is? If went well, Modo Civilization surely with our not stopping until death. Moreover absolutely does not have the successful possibility, the Modo Three Kings side defense is stern, simply does not have the opportunity to approach, and they do not leave Motherstar, is impossible to assassinate.” Some people are anxious. “你知道这是什么性质的行为吗?要是得手了,摩多文明必定和我们不死不休。而且完全没有成功的可能性,摩多三王身边防卫森严,根本没机会靠近,并且他们不离开母星,不可能刺杀的。”有人语气急切。 Rottal explained rarely: One, Modo originally with our not stopping until death. Second, the Modo Three Kings side guard are many, but does not have outwardly on Super A Grade personal guard, most is only natural disaster grade, not over my ability limit. Third, Modo Motherstar does not have Three Great Civilizations Motherstar Banning Nether Energy Zone, therefore sneaks completely feasible.” 罗泰尔罕见地解释了起来:“一,摩多本来就和我们不死不休。二,摩多三王身边护卫多,但没有明面上的超A级亲卫,最多只是天灾级,不超过我的能力极限。三,摩多母星没有三大文明母星幽能禁制环带,所以潜入完全可行。” Assassinates Modo Three Kings, at first sight simply is not quest that is possible to complete, but he carefully analyzes, is actually not an opportunity does not have. After all although Three Kings is leader, but is actually not the owner of individual mighty force, in special oneself has God Stabber, Even if on Three Kings has Super A Grade Gift Magic Defense Rune, this weapon can still penetrate, the subject matter be the assassination regardless of the success or failure, is very difficult to move out. 刺杀摩多三王,乍一看简直是不可能完成的任务,但是他心里仔细分析一顿,其实并非一点机会都没有。毕竟三王虽是领袖,但却不是个人伟力的拥有者,特别自己手里有【刺神者】,即便三王身上存在着超A级赋予魔法防御符文,这件兵器也可以穿透,主要问题是刺杀无论成败,都很难全身而退。 The people are astonished, as if first time knows Rottal to be the same, even they have assassinated some big character Killer, but in their eyes, this is still the one bold plan. 众人惊愕无比,仿佛第一次认识罗泰尔一样,即便他们都是刺杀过一些大人物杀手,可在他们眼里,这依然是一个胆大包天的方案。 You said easily, is the actual operation, brings death radically!” “你说得容易,可是实际操作起来,根本就是送死!” Anything is possible, sometimes, but needs some small luck.” Rottal narrows the eye, several people on the scene do not know that his idea, he also has no intention to explain. “万事皆有可能,有些时候,只是需要一些小小的运气。”罗泰尔眯眼,在场几人不知道他的想法,他也无意解释。 Because of Roselin and Three Great Civilizations' operation, the Modo internal race difference ideological trend gradually is on the rise, at this time, if can assassinate Three Kings of one of the ethnic group, thinks the means on the radical member who the responsibility advances other two races, could intensify the contradiction, lets this ideological trend swift and violent eruption, the result is not difficult to imagine. 因为洛瑟琳三大文明的运作,摩多内部的种族分歧思潮逐渐抬头,在这个时候,若是能刺杀其中一个族群的三王,想办法将责任推到其他两个种族的激进份子头上,也许能激化矛盾,让这个思潮迅猛爆发,结果不难想象。 The technique was cruel a point, but as one spy -type Killer, whether Rottal did not care about the method morals, only cared to be easy-to-use, can complete target, it can be said that resorted to all means. 手法是阴损了一点,但作为一个间谍式的杀手,罗泰尔不在乎方法是否道德,只在乎好不好用,能不能完成目标,可以说是不择手段。 He came out to operate for dozens years, no longer has been one pure assassin, gradually learning analysis general situation, how although Black Star did not have the explicit instruction to do, but Rottal very clear Black Star's target, he was glad with a more flexible way very much, created bigger killing to Modo, had the might compared with the pure assassination. 他出来经营了数十年,早已不再是一个单纯的刺客,渐渐学习着分析大局,虽然黑星没有明确指示该怎么做,但罗泰尔很清楚黑星的目标,他很乐意用更灵活的方式,给摩多造成更大杀伤,比单纯的刺杀更具威力。 Naturally, assassinating Modo highest leader and shifts blame above the racial hatred is only the one idea, the difficulty is extremely high, only by Assassin Common Aid Society, the possibility without completed. 当然了,刺杀摩多最高领袖并嫁祸到种族仇恨上面只是一个想法,难度极高,单靠刺客共助会,没有完成的可能。 However, Three Great Civilizations in Modo domestic influence is the natural boost, Rottal planned to manufacture that the one blasting fuse, enabling them to use something as a pretext, the ideological trend that just like they stir up made him produce assassinated the Modo Three Kings' idea to be the same. 但是,三大文明摩多境内的势力就是天然的助力,罗泰尔打算制造一个导火索,让他们可以借题发挥,正如他们煽动的思潮让他产生了刺杀摩多三王的想法一样。 ...... …… hōng lóng! 轰隆 The one red form tumbles is falling to desolated planet, just like a meteor, pounds the one crater in the surface loudly. 一道红色的身影翻滚着坠向荒芜星球,宛若一颗流星,在地表轰然砸出一个环形山。 The Hela corners of the mouth overflowing blood, the body inserting land, she just pulled out oneself, Han Xiao appears above her suddenly, the whip leg of momentum is big, power is deep pulls out ruthlessly in her abdomen. 海拉嘴角溢血,身体嵌入大地,她刚把自己拔了出来,韩萧骤然出现在她上方,势大力沉的鞭腿狠狠抽在她的腹部。 Bang! 嘭! Just condensed point Power of Death to be kicked the powder, shockwave bursts open, sends out an explosive. 刚刚凝聚了一点的死亡之力被一脚踢散,冲击波迸开,发出一声爆响。 The abdomen was hit hard, Hela just like the sun-dried shelled shrimp the same as bend the body, shot speedily, was kicked dozens kilometers, pulled off a long gully. 腹部遭到重击,海拉犹如虾米一样弓起身子,疾速射了出去,被踢飞数十公里,拖出了一条长长的沟壑。 Also hits? I have punched your 11 hour, words that did not remember incorrectly, you have been on the verge of death times three, the stupor five times.” “还打吗?我已经揍了你十一个小时,没记错的话,你已经濒死三次、昏迷五次了。” Han Xiao holds the arm to stand, the complexion is helpless. 韩萧抱臂而立,脸色无奈。 Snort, you want me to praise you to be really fierce...... consider as finished, today arrived here, but don't forget, this was only third time compares notes that's all.” Hela wipes off the bloodstain of corners of the mouth, rubs the belly to stand up. “哼,你是要我夸你真猛吗……算了,今天就到这里吧,但是别忘了,这只是第三次切磋而已。”海拉擦掉嘴角的血迹,揉着肚子站起身。 hears word, the Han Xiao can't help eyelid pulls out. 闻言,韩萧不禁眼皮一抽。 He is implementing the initial agreement at this time, is accompanies Hela to compare notes the 30 time, now is also left over the 27 time, thinks this number, Han Xiao thought the waist of oneself is a little sore. 他此时正在履行当初的协议,即是陪海拉切磋三十次,如今还剩下二十七次,一想到这个数字,韩萧就觉得自己的腰有点疼。 Here is position near somewhere Black Star's Mobile Palace, he has come back for several days from Free Competition Region. 这里是黑星行宫附近的某处位置,他已经从自由竞争区回来好几天了。 Modo has not sent Super A Grade to deal with this time Beheading Operation, behind eight parts/most likely will not take risk, and Han Xiao has left behind enough Mechanical Section team and dominion clone, therefore has not continued to treat in the frontline, turned the head to return to Base Camp with Sovereign directly. 摩多没有派超A级应付此次的斩首行动,后面也八成不会冒险,且韩萧已经留下了足够的机械部队与主宰分身,所以没有继续待在前线,转头用皇者直接回到了大本营 Han Xiao is thinking studies Punishment Disciple and inextinguishable mechanical weapon technology at home with single-hearted devotion, but Hela desires discontentedly, must draw him to compare notes. 韩萧本来想着在家专心研究刑徒不灭械兵技术,但是海拉欲求不满,非要拉着他切磋。 Because there is an agreement, he is not good to repudiate a debt, has to accompany Hela pā pā pā to hit for several days, although Hela this sandbag anti- hits very much, the feel also good, but hit Han Xiao unable to bear for a long time. 因为有协议在,他不好赖账,只好陪海拉啪啪啪打了几天,虽然海拉这个沙包很耐打,手感也不错,可是打得久了韩萧也受不了。 Obtained exclusive Virtual Technology Innovation · Manison, Punishment Disciple and research of inextinguishable mechanical weapon technology is smooth, but the distance decodes also many key technologies points to attack and capture thoroughly, needs time, therefore Han Xiao has not promoted the research progress with awakening point, only depends on various oneself skill and Specialty addition, should be able deduce blueprint. 得到了专属的【虚拟技术革新·麦尼逊】,刑徒不灭械兵技术的研究还算顺利,但是距离彻底破解还有不少关键技术点要攻克,需要时间,因此韩萧也没有用觉醒点来推动研究进度,仅凭自身各种技能专长的加成,应该就能推导出图纸 At this time, Hela flew from the distant place, asked: How do you feel my progress?” 这时,海拉从远处飞了回来,问道:“你觉得我的进步怎么样?” Ok.” Han Xiao said without thinking. “还可以。”韩萧随口道 Tch, the tone is really perfunctory, you accompany the teacher time has the patience actually very much, is so casual to me, then doesn't want to accompany me?” The Hela eyebrow front raises. ,语气真敷衍,你陪老师的时候倒是很有耐心,对我就这么随便,那么不想陪我吗?”海拉眉锋一扬。 „Did you say?” Han Xiao stares. “你说呢?”韩萧一瞪眼。 Your masochism does not have self awareness at heart, daily asks me to kill, must compel me to punch you very tired, I also good! 你个受虐狂心里没逼数,天天找我打打杀杀,非要逼我揍你,我也很累的好吧! Because craves in the fight, the Hela's strength rise is quick, especially obtained Netherland, had broader rise space. 因为热衷于战斗,海拉的实力提升很快,特别是得到了冥土,有了更宽广的上升空间 When Aurora achieves Super A Grade, Netherland then can display Heroic Spirit Rebirth ability, by that time, Hela can achieve the peak strength. 等到欧若拉达到超A级,冥土便能发挥出“英灵重生”的能力,到那个时候,海拉才能达到巅峰实力。 Han Xiao also knew from the Netherland local land's lady mouth, if Aurora's life ability achieves Super A Grade, will have the qualitative change, can make living body without soul, acts as the Netherland Heroic Spirit Rebirth carrier. 韩萧还从冥土土地婆口中得知,欧若拉的生命异能若是达到超A级,又会产生质变,可以制造有生命无灵魂的躯体,充当冥土英灵重生的载体。 Happen, this ability and Soul Transferer can coordinate, Han Xiao passed on to Fording this set of view, pledged to make Aurora make fleshly being when the time comes, treated as the new body of Morningstar. 正好,这个能力转魂仪可以配合,韩萧把这套说法转告弗丁,承诺到时候让欧若拉制造一具肉身,当作晨星的新身体。 Hela light snort/hum, shifts the topic: 27 time compares notes, the day after tomorrow I will take one time, remembers that sets aside time.” 海拉淡淡哼了一声,转移话题道:“还有二十七次切磋,后天我就要一次,记得腾出时间。” You were also too difficult to satisfy, being separated time can long?” Han Xiao pain in the ass. “你也太难满足了吧,间隔时间能不能长一点?”韩萧蛋疼 „It is not good! Snatches with great difficulty from the teacher hand you, I want you to accompany all the way.” “不行!好不容易才把你从老师手里抢回来,我要你陪个够。” The Hela eyeground flashes through wipes the happy expression, turns the head to return to the spaceship, operated without consulting anybody the spaceship. 海拉眼底闪过一抹笑意,转头回到飞船,径自把飞船开回去了。 Helpless Han Xiao shakes the head, more and more definite Hela is one masochist. 韩萧无奈摇头,越来越确定海拉就是一个抖M Compares notes to confirm the strength, but knew perfectly well that the disparity is so big, but also wants the one vigor to ask me to fight, this does not look to punch intentionally! 切磋本来是为了验证实力,可是明知差距这么大,还要一个劲找我打架,这不是故意找揍么! Hadaway easy ah, with to look to punch, this fellow knew in heart, was hit can also greet with a smile, where is cold a face like Hela, probably I owed her money like...... 还是哈达威,同为找揍的,这家伙心里有数多了,被打了还能笑脸相迎,哪里像海拉一样冷着一张脸,好像我欠她钱似的…… speaking of which, had time is not licked by Hadaway, actually also thought of strangely. 说起来,有段时间没被哈达威舔了,竟然还怪想念的。 Han Xiao, is not letting Mechanical Section team withdraw destroyed combat soldier anxiously, while battlefield cleanup time, opened the forum conveniently, the preparation brushed the piece of stupid-ass netizen, relaxed cheerfully. 韩萧不急着回去,让机械部收回一些被打碎的战兵,趁着打扫战场的时候,顺手打开了论坛,准备刷一下沙雕网友的段子,乐呵呵放松心情。 But just turned on the Glittering World plate, his vision was then topped the placard attraction by one. 可刚一打开闪耀世界板块,他的目光便被一个置顶帖吸引了。 «World Service Battle Invitation»! 世界服会战邀请函》!
