Poverty makes me capable of anything.

She was always causing trouble and had fallen out with Eternal Star Road, Lord of the Night, and Heda.

Moreover, this tablet computer company is also money-grubbing and exploiting ordinary laborers.

He's clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Twenty minutes later, the officer arrived at the spaceship that was there to greet An Ran via a fast-track passage.

It took them nearly another hour to finally encounter An Ran and the others, who had already jumped out of hyperspace, at the edge of the veil of light.

"This spaceship..."

The officer was a warship enthusiast.

Although the Divine Court warship was not sold to the public, he could tell at a glance from all the details that it was a deadly weapon born for war!

As expected of the Cult of Machines!

Although Anran has a bad reputation, her skills are undeniable.

"Are you from the Exiled Empire?"

An Ran's voice rang out first in the cockpit where the spaceship was being welcomed.

The officer replied respectfully, "Greetings, Lord of Peace. I have come to greet you on the orders of the Arbitrator."

An Ran nodded: "In that case, you can lead the way!"

An Ran was on high alert after being ambushed twice on the way.

However, the highest level of the people on the welcoming spaceship is only level 191, and the spaceship itself is nothing special, so there should be nothing unusual about it.

The officer quickly agreed.

His brief encounter with An Ran made him feel that An Ran's attitude was quite friendly, which was different from the rumors circulating outside.

However, this could also be because he did not offend An Ran.

This is the best way to go.

The officer carefully explained the situation at the front-line command post to An Ran.

During this process, An Ran didn't say much, she just kept nodding.

high cold.

Being aloof is good.

Upon arriving at the first outpost, he handed over the task to the fleet sent by the frontline command.

Have a safe journey!

The officer stood on the top floor of the airport and waved to the departing fleet.

At that moment, his adjutant arrived.

Looking puzzled, he asked, "Sir, this is a golden opportunity to curry favor with this newly appointed ruler, why are you..."

The army of the exiled empire was riddled with factions.

Even though those without connections were stronger than others, they were still assigned to guard the gate.

If you have a powerful ruler as a backer, you can definitely get a lot of lucrative positions.

The officer shook his head, his eyes seemingly filled with great wisdom: "You don't understand."

He said that.

"what?"

"Some rulers can be flattered, but some rulers are useless no matter how hard you try to flatter them. These researchers are just weirdos. Even if we really submit to her, who knows what kind of treatment we'll get?

The adjutant looked puzzled.

The officer lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, I have a friend who has done business on several trading planets of the Mechanicus. Among these businessmen is a rumored name, Christopher. You've heard of him, haven't you?"

The adjutant nodded: "Is it that mercenary who defected to the Cult of the Machine God?"

“That’s right.” The officer’s eyes lit up with approval. “A businessman was passing by his office one night when he heard him shouting—”

When will we finally get a holiday?!

Hehe, but when I think about how Iben is even worse off than me, I feel like I can pull another ten all-nighters!

The officer spoke with great emotion.

That sight sent a chill down the adjutant's spine.

Is it a horror game where you work overtime until you die?

He just wanted to slack off.

As for the Mechanicus cult and such, forget about it.

……

"It is said that the spaceship has already crossed the fourth line of defense."

Meanwhile, in the central control room of the frontline command post.

The two people were casually chatting in front of the star map.

"It's very fast."

Nathaniel, who was an arbitrator of the War Court of the Exiled Empire, reached out and tapped on the star map, which was the location of the fourth line of defense.

Another person asked, "So what do you plan to do after we meet?"

Nathaniel said, "Ask her if she wants to join the War Court, and I can vouch for her as a Second-Rank Envoy."

"That's it?"

Nathaniel smiled slightly: "And what did you expect?"

"For example, investigate why she was able to advance so quickly."

“That’s her secret,” Nathaniel said.

"Just because it's her secret, you're not going to ask any further questions?"

"of course."

Nathaniel looked at his companion with genuine sincerity in his eyes.

"You don't actually think I'm the kind of villain who would turn on an ally, do you?"

"No, that's not it."

Nathaniel laughed heartily: "That settles it then. The reason our Exiled Empire was able to rise from humble beginnings to become a top civilization on par with the Eternal Star Road is precisely because of our sincerity. As long as she is wholeheartedly devoted to serving the Exiled Empire, I will not mistreat her."

"No wonder you were chosen to be the arbitrator."

Nathaniel's companions were filled with admiration.

Arbitration, in essence, must be impartial and unbiased.

Nathaniel said, "Once she arrives, the meeting can officially begin. Those people from the Eternal Star Path are really persistent, coming to cause trouble time and time again. But they'll have to think twice before trying to cause trouble again."

"Yes."

Soon after, someone rushed over from outside.

"Arbitrator, we have received a message from the Eternal Star Road."

Nathaniel asked, "What news?"

"There's a rumor going around that An Ran has advanced to the Star Domain Ruler level, apparently spread by the people who attacked her."

Nathaniel dismissed it: "Let them spread the word. Anyway, this was going to be made public."

"Yes."

The person who reported the news left in a hurry.

More than two hours have passed, and most people probably already know this information.

Just as Nathaniel had guessed, the group of rulers behind the Radiant Mercenary Group, including Reeves' father, Sawyer, and the Night Ruler from the Sea of ​​Time who had conflicts with Anran, Barriel, Yega, and others, all received the news.

"To be honest, I'm still in a daze."

Barr shook his head vigorously.

The Night Lord's expression turned even uglier, as if his mother had passed away.

He still remembered that ten years ago, the Transcendental was just a small force in the Dust Territory, struggling to breathe under the oppression of the Protoss Cult.

But now, the Hyperdimensional Dimension has become the Cult of Machines, and this once insignificant little force now has two star domain rulers.

Furthermore, given the close relationship between the Cult of the Machine God and Silent City, even if he were to see An Ran, he would have no choice but to swallow his anger.

"If only she could grow up this fast..."

"Impossible!" Sawyer interrupted the Night Ruler. "It's one thing to improve one's strength quickly before advancing to the Star Domain Ruler level, but to become even stronger after advancing to the Star Domain Ruler level is something no human can do."

Barry said, "What if?"

Reeves' father said in a deep voice, "I don't care whether she can or not, we can't let her continue to live. The Exiled Empire must value her highly now. If we don't take action soon, we'll be in trouble once she enters the core of the Exiled Empire."

"Alright, alright, everyone knows about this."

Sawyer waved his hand impatiently.

What nonsense are you spouting? Propose an effective strategy!

Reeves' father suddenly turned his head and stared at Sawyer for a long time, but Sawyer was completely unafraid.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit tense, the internal meeting was interrupted halfway through.

Let's discuss it another day.

"Let's do it this way."

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

In just over ten seconds, only Sawyer remained in the virtual conference room.

He knew he wasn't safe either.

After all, he had once used Bridges' body to plot against An Ran, and given An Ran's vengeful nature, he certainly wouldn't let him off the hook once he gained power.
