Chapter 764: The Split of Fire Lotus and Brilliant Star
Ever since the Fifth Fleet was defeated again in the Hemu Star Region, the prestige of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction has dropped significantly. Although Pulin has also taken a series of actions to suppress the opposition during this period, no matter what these actions are, the aura of invincibility that the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction used to have faded, and various opposition parties have begun to look for opportunities, test and find weaknesses.

This situation is like countless pubic lice and ants surrounding the fire lotus, and they will drill into the gap once they find it. Under the erosion of various forces, the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction began to be unable to cope, and the hidden dangers brought about by the previous rapid expansion were gradually exposed.

Unlike the steady and cautious 'Emerald Dragon', the expansion of the 'Fire Lotus - Brilliant Star' faction is like joining a franchise. This allows it to greatly expand its advantages in the early stages, but once it encounters adversity, many people within it begin to waver and become unsteady.

"It is said that after the defeat of the Fifth Fleet, the morale of the fleet's officers plummeted and many of them became depressed."

In the dark underground base of the city, a group of people gathered secretly and exchanged information with each other. This way of face-to-face conversation can be described as primitive, but the advantage is that there is no need to worry about being retrieved and monitored by the Internet. Everyone knows the advantages of the Star Alliance in the Aijaka network field, so this ancient gathering mode is safer and more practical.

"My informant also received similar intelligence. It is said that many damaged warships are undergoing repairs at a slow pace, and the logistics personnel have no motivation at all."

"Why, isn't this just the same as usual?"

"Of course there is a difference. Just think about it. We spent five or six years preparing for a brand new fleet, but it became shabby in just one week without achieving any results. It's not a good feeling to have all the hard work go to waste overnight."

"That's true." The other party also sighed silently.

"But this is good news for us. The Fifth Fleet is in a state of disrepair. The deterrent power of the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction is now mostly gone. I also heard that Prinn was injured in this crown battle. I'm afraid he won't be able to raise the crown again within a year."

"Is this true?" Upon hearing the news, the people present became instantly excited.

"The opportunity has come." Ambition and greed flowed in someone's eyes.

"We need to confirm it again, just in case this is a trap..."

"Oh, with your timid and fearful personality, how can you possibly seize the opportunity?"

"If you ask me, Pulin must have been injured. It will be difficult for her to raise the crown again in half a year, even if it's less than a year. So this is a great opportunity. If you miss this time, you don't know when the next time will be."

"There are so many factions in the Central Star Region. Now all the power and interests are taken by Pulin. Do you know how much money our company has lost over the years?"

"It's because we joined their faction a step late, and our competitors got there first and handed over the profits in the industry to us. As a result, they got the support of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction, and they blocked us everywhere in terms of policies, restricting, searching, and suppressing us." He gritted his teeth with every word he spoke.

"We are similar. We were originally a neutral supernatural faction. Over the years, talented students have been recruited by the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction, resulting in a lack of successors and difficulty in faction inheritance."

"So are we……"

"me too……"

After exchanging information, the group decided to confirm the situation again and then take action.

"As for our specific plans, I don't think I'll talk about them here. They might get leaked out. But we can make an agreement to try to stir up various incidents in the next three months to keep them busy. This way, we can cover each other and the pressure we each face will be reduced a lot. What do you think?" A masked man spoke.

"Wise choice."

"I agree."

"That `s a deal."

Soon, everyone reached a consensus, and the party ended.

……

A month later.

Cuiyue Star Region, the headquarters of the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction.

"Damn it, it happens again." A fist pressed heavily on the table, with a dull sound.

"What's wrong?" Another intelligence officer in the room came over with tea and looked at the projection screen.

[Cui Yue Star Region - Harp Crown, Mr. Lemons, CEO of the giant enterprise 'Eye of the Dragon', was attacked by unknown thugs on his way to a meeting and was seriously injured. During the rescue, it was found that he was infected with a special toxin, which caused Mr. Lemons' consciousness to be permanently damaged and he fell into a long sleep.]
[In the Ti-Ta Star Region, the planet where the Tilted Star Tower resides, an accidental explosion occurred at the Amo Research Institute, killing 14 researchers in the institute, including two master professors.]
[The merchant fleet T-yh7821 was attacked by unknown pirates in the airspace between the Windpipe Star Field and the Lanka Star Field. The other party deployed 34 high-level mechas, dodged the gunfire of the escort fleet, hijacked a "Linguangyi" class merchant ship at close range, and drove it away.]
[In the northern star region, the Khanda star field, the γ-3 residential planet of the Cave Lion, protests broke out again. Many people promoted the ideas of the Black Smut Faction and gained support from a large number of residents.]
"It looks like there's a lot to do." The intelligence officer shook his head, then walked away with his teacup and sat down at his seat.

"Mr. Lemens is an important ally of our faction. He leads the 'Eye of the Dragon', a famous military-industrial enterprise in the Federation. Over the years, he has provided us with a lot of help in the design and construction of the 'Red Angel' class battleships."

"We cannot sit idly by and watch such an ally, otherwise the prestige of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction will be greatly reduced."

"In addition, the Amo Research Institute is an important member involved in the development of the 'Red Lotus Weapon System'. The attack on them may be because those people want to obtain information about the 'Red Lotus Weapon System'. This should also be taken seriously."

"As for the other items, although they have an impact, they are not as important as the above two. We have limited personnel now, and many of them are on missions, so we can only choose the important ones."

The other intelligence officer took a deep breath to calm his troubled mood.

"I understand everything you said." He walked to the window and looked at the scenery below through the blinds.

"But there are more and more cases like this now. Our staff are running around everywhere, just like putting out fires, and we are increasingly unable to cope with the situation."

"Do you need help? I mean, ask the Children of the Stars for help." asked another intelligence officer.

"Look for them?" He hesitated for a few seconds.

"Well, now is not the time to talk about face. They should be able to help us."

……

In the following month, the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction encountered more and more unexpected incidents. At this time, many factions in secret seemed to have a tacit understanding. They all knew that the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction was unable to take care of itself at this time, and they acted more and more unscrupulously.

The occurrence of various accidents caused panic among the people in the Fire Lotus-Star faction. The group that was already wavering began to consider whether to leave this leaky ship and look for a new force to join.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, the Star Children Alliance gradually took action and began to assist in cleaning up those groups that were secretly sabotaging.

With the intelligence and personnel support from the Son of the Star, there were fewer accidents in the following month, and many hidden forces were eliminated, making the situation stable.

"No, as long as the Children of the Stars are involved, it will be difficult for us to succeed. Their intelligence system is too powerful." The second meeting was held, and this group of people who had met in secret got together to communicate.

"It's a headache for me too. If it's just a few of us meeting, we can be careful and leave no traces. But when directing the activities of my subordinates, I can't do without the Internet. Otherwise, it will be too slow and rigid."

"Is there no way to solve the Star Children Alliance?" someone asked.

"It's difficult. Their faction's power is extremely dispersed. You can hardly find a real core."

"Moreover, space stations are different from residential planets. Their environments are relatively closed, and it is difficult for outsiders to infiltrate." "But if we don't get rid of them, it will be difficult to overthrow the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction." Someone said anxiously.

"This... I suddenly have an idea." Someone thought of something.

"Hurry up and tell me. Don't keep me in suspense at this time."

"I was thinking, 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' are two separate forces. Is it true that their alliance is so close without any cracks?"

"The Star Children don't have big ambitions. They just want to occupy a certain number of seats in the Federation Central Council, and then get the Federation to strongly support the development and establishment of various space stations to expand their own tribe. As for other things, they don't have many ideas now, so all kinds of policy agreements are usually handled by the faction led by Pulin. They also hold a lot of power and positions in important departments."

“But it’s obvious that the support provided by the Fire Lotus faction within the faction is obviously not as good as that of the Son of Star, and most of the benefits and power have been taken by the Fire Lotus faction.” Someone said sinisterly.

"Not all Star Children like the Fire Lotus Faction, especially Prinkoko's strong style. Many Star Children are not interested in it."

"That's not enough. We have to find the differences between the two sides that are difficult to compromise and then expand them."

"Such a disagreement..." Many people at the scene pondered.

"What if we spread rumors to drive a wedge between the two sides?"

"It's useful, but not very useful. It's easy to be seen through. After all, at this level, everyone knows those tricks."

"How about if we encourage a large number of factions to join the Star Children Alliance and encourage them to become independent from the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction?"

"This is also difficult, because the Star Children Alliance does not have such strong ambitions, and they have no reason to be independent, so they will most likely not accept it."

"This..." The scene was deadlocked.

Time passed by minute by second.

"I thought of someone." Someone suddenly spoke.

"You should know that in the beginning, the Star Child Alliance was actually hostile to the financial group led by Pulin, and the cause and the key figure was 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin."

"I think that 'White Rose Harp' Ewen Qilin should still be alive. She is obviously a mortal enemy of the faction led by Pulin. She is most likely under the protection of the Star Child Alliance and has not been handed over to the faction that Pulin Koko is in."

"Also, although the elves have lost power, their potential power and influence are still great, they are just dormant now. If we can support the White Rose Harp Ewenkilin to take over the Federation Center again, Pulin will never sit idly by and will definitely ask the Star Children to hand over Ewenkilin, a condition that the Star Children will not accept."

"This is indeed an irreconcilable disagreement between the two parties, especially for the chaebol faction led by Prinkoko. They have taken most of the benefits of the elf faction and there is no way they can give it back. The elf faction will never forgive them. The two parties have become mortal enemies, but now the elves are weak and have to avoid the edge."

"Then how can we start a dispute? None of us knows where Ewen Qilin is now. She may be well hidden by the Children of the Stars."

"We don't know, and neither does Pulin, so this must be a thorn in her heart. As long as she asks Star Child for someone, it will definitely cause a conflict."

"So, for a period of time, we must try our best to keep a low profile and let the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction relax. Only then will Pulin have time to ask the Son of the Star for people."

"She is a very proud person. Once she speaks, she will get the result. She will never allow herself to retreat in disgrace. At this time, the Children of the Stars are in a difficult situation. They must make a difficult decision. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for."

"It's a good plan. This may be our last chance. After this period of weakness, we don't know when we will have the next chance."

"It doesn't sound like a big problem, but I've failed so many times and I'm a little discouraged. I hope it works this time."

"It's settled. For the next two months, all actions and plans will be suspended and we will wait and see how things develop."

"clear."

"It's actually very difficult to do it now. Many people were arrested some time ago."

“This is in line with everyone’s thinking.”

"Let's stop here today." After that, everyone dispersed again.

For a period of time thereafter, the central star field returned to peace again, and the hidden forces of all parties seemed to be laying low.

"It seems that we hurt them some time ago. Their manpower is not endless." An intelligence officer looked at the recent report leisurely.

"With the intelligence support from the Star Children Alliance, things are indeed going much more smoothly. They probably also made an assessment and decided that the benefits would be too low and the risks would be too great if they continued."

"There are people who can do regular jobs everywhere, but it's not so easy to find a desperate person who is not afraid of death and has a certain level of strength."

"Although some high-level agency agents often engage in shady business, most of them don't have the guts to confront federal officials. They also have families and lives to live. They will only take risks under special circumstances."

"Now I can finally relax."

Just when the Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star faction gradually relaxed its vigilance, some hidden rumors came from the central star field. It was said that the representatives of the elves had found the Star Children Alliance and wanted to meet with the White Rose Harp Ewen Qilin and bring the singer back to recuperate.

"It is neither reasonable nor moral for the Star Children Alliance to place a singer under house arrest. This violates the fundamental constitution of the Federation." Someone said this in the Central Parliament.

This put the Star Children Alliance in the spotlight, and the once forgotten elven singer 'White Rose Harp' Ewenkilin was mentioned again.

Not only the elves are concerned about the whereabouts of Ewenkilin, but the rival Fire Lotus faction is also very concerned. Although the elf faction is now deserted, Ewenkilin is different from an ordinary singer after all. She has extremely high talent and has been hovering at the Full Moon level, and is only one step away from breaking through to the Sunday level.

Once she breaks through to the Sunday level, it means that there will be two Sunday-level singers in the Federation Center, who will be able to quickly lead the elf faction to a comeback and compete with the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction.

The two had long been at odds with each other and there was no possibility of reconciliation, so Ewenkilin must not be allowed to return to the hands of the elves.

"In this case, in order to avoid hidden dangers, please ask the Star Children to hand over Ewen Qilin to my care. I swear in the name of the singer that I will not abuse this senior." Pulin spoke to the Star Children representative at the internal meeting of the 'Fire Lotus-Brilliant Star' faction.

"With all due respect, we can't do such a thing." The representative shook his head.

"Miss Ewen Qilin has done a favor for the Star Children. We cannot betray this singer. Besides, she has not yet reached the Sunday level, and she will not threaten your position. I hope Miss Pulin will understand our decision."

During the meeting, Huo Lian and Cui Xing had their first disagreement, and at the end of the discussion, the two sides parted unhappily.

The once closely united alliance is now beginning to show an unbridgeable gap.
