Poverty makes me capable of anything.

[Lead the way and run!]

[Quickly report your coordinates via voice message! I don't have time to carefully examine the map; it would be disastrous if I lured the enemy there.]

"emmm..."

I walked back several times and scratched my head.

Just as he was about to report his location, a bright light flashed across the distant horizon, followed by a surge of thunder.

As time went on, the thunder grew clearer, and the lights in the sky became more and more colorful.

"Ahhh-"

Amidst screams, after retracing the steps several times, I discovered—

got windy!

The gates of the mechanical castle opened, and a mech unit charged out menacingly.

The mech unit walked past him, ignoring him.

"Ya ya ya—"

The sound came from behind the mechanical castle.

At this moment, another air force unit emerged.

It flew over Chongzou's head several times with a roar, then ignored him.

"..."

Having retraced my steps several times, I was prepared to be easily replaced, but something's not right.

Are you all blind?!

Or do you think I'm too weak to warrant any attention?

He angrily walked back several times and headed straight for the mechanical castle.

Since you're ignoring me, I'll just go in and try to break in!

I refuse to believe that you won't abandon me now.

His steps were steady and deliberate.

There was a secret joy in my heart that every step forward felt like a gain.

Meanwhile, Zhou Jieyu, pulling a large group of people behind her, used the energy jets from her combat suit to dash around the wilderness as fast as a rocket.

Although the explosive bombs and energy beams were powerful, they couldn't break through the shield behind her in a short time.

Those mechs, though powerful and heavy, lacked agility and could only follow behind Zhou Jieyu, eating dirt.

Enveloped in the flames of war, after several detours, we finally arrived at the gates of the mechanical castle.

To his surprise, the city gates were not closed.

A man with a sinister face stood there.

He was muttering something loudly, and the person on the other end of the communicator kept agreeing.

After noticing that Chong had turned black several times, the man stopped talking.

He frowned.

Finally, he grabbed Chongzuo's shoulder and threw him inside.

"..."

What the hell?

I walked over several times but still couldn't understand what that person was saying.

"Young man? Forget it, since we're here, let's go to the furnace together."

boom!

Zhou Jieyu was still circling around the city of machinery.

Her appearance attracted everyone's attention.

No one paid any more attention to this newbie who kept repeating the same route.

His energy level was so low that it was not much different from that of the native inhabitants of the Feathered Civilization. That was why the man standing at the door, who was directing the operation, mistakenly identified him.

And who told him to wear a hat several times during his journey, covering up his ears which were different from those of the Feathered Civilization?

As the alarm sounded, Zhou Jieyu was urging her Type I basic operations force of the AI ​​Legion to launch a frenzied attack on the mechanical castle.

The flashing lights on the tanks provided the best cover.

"Take care of her first; we can talk about supporting the front lines later!"

The man at the door shouted loudly.

In the darkness, in an open space.

Unnoticed energy began to gather.

In this environment, I walked back several times, still somewhat bewildered, until I reached the end of the road.

He saw those old people again.

You have triggered the story quest [Adaptive Contract]

Beneath the green "droplets" floating in the air, these elderly people knelt devoutly on the ground, chanting words that were difficult to understand even after walking through the area several times.

These words formed a resonance that the game labeled as "Contract Convergence".

Then, green leaves began to float in the air.

I walked through it several times, my eyes wide with surprise.

A green-leaf monster that shines on the battlefield!

How could he not recognize this?

He saw the green leaves roll up the old men in front of him one by one, and after a whoosh, the old men's health bars were completely emptied.

A bright red health bar appeared above the previously lifeless green droplet. Each time an old man disappeared, the health bar would grow longer, eventually stopping at the number [60780].

"Sacrifice!"

I took a step back after walking several times.

He seemed to understand something.

No wonder that green leaf monster that appeared in the ambush was impossible to kill.

Its immortality came at the cost of countless sacrifices by members of the Feathered Civilization.

I retraced the steps several times but didn't have time to check the rewards for the story missions.

Because the green leaf monster had already discovered his presence.

woo-

Before his consciousness and body disconnected, he walked through the green light several times, and it made him panic.

This is a civilization ruled by a cult!

……

"Important news to report?"

Anran, who was commanding the fleet in battle, received a message from Cherny.

This is the information that was transmitted back after the resurrection and several retracing of the journey.

"By making sacrifices, the Green Leaf Monster's health can be continuously increased, uh..."

An Ran stared wide-eyed.

If such a massive civilization were to sacrifice all its inhabitants, it would create a monster with an incredibly high health pool.

It's likely that just grinding them down would be enough to kill the Star Domain Ruler many times over.

An Ran did not keep anything to herself.

She relayed the message to her ally, the Drenthe civilization.

This war cannot be dragged out.

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us.

Only by quickly drilling into the core of the Feathered Civilization and tearing it into countless fragments can we stop them from launching a super sacrifice.

Upon receiving the intelligence, the people of the Drenthe civilization also became vigilant.

"For the sake of ultimate interests, it is necessary to stop this behavior of the Feathered Civilization."

This starry sky is already very barren. If everyone dies, wouldn't they have wasted their time after the war?

Even with compensation from the Originium Festival, it can't make up for it.

In the following days, the Feathered Civilization army behind the defensive line faced even greater pressure.

After their left flank was breached, they were forced to retreat completely due to a lack of timely reinforcements.

At this point, the allied forces began the pursuit phase.

But this is all for later.

After delivering the message, An Ran no longer hesitated.

Holding the newly completed space displacement device, she returned to the Mechanicus's temporary base in the planetary graveyard.

The second phase of the smuggling operation has officially begun!

In the dark starry sky outside the temporary base.

An Ran enveloped the space to be replaced as if setting up an array.

Countless white rays of light illuminated the starry sky.

Besides a large number of players, those within the Light Network also include Tszky and the panda.

"Take it easy on yourself. If you get targeted by the enemy's star field ruler, I won't be able to get to your side for a while," An Ran warned Ciqiya.
