Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Her mission was to assist Heda in completing the sweep of the Eagle Eye Sector.

The Hawkeye Sector is not on the main force's offensive route, but if it is not suppressed, the main force's logistical routes may be affected.

In order to seize more areas before the Eternal Star Road, ensuring the logistical transport of the main force is also very important.

"For us, the Eagle Eye Sector is uncharted territory. We don't know how many troops the New World Starfield has deployed there, nor do we know how the power structure is divided there. Therefore, your mission is very important."

Heda patted Anran on the shoulder.

She didn't intend to target Anran in this operation, but necessary communication was still required.

Otherwise, if the two of them start fighting, the mission will be impossible to complete.

An Ran nodded: "I understand, you don't need to worry."

That's good.

A good beginning is half the battle.

Heda only hoped that she and Anran could maintain their current relationship until the mission was over.

In reality, she was overthinking everything.

An Ran has no conflict of interest with her now, and they are colleagues in the War Court. If there is no benefit for An Ran, why would she provoke her?

I'd rather watch a few more shows.

While the war machine of the Exiled Empire was set in motion, the Eternal Star Road was not idle either.

They not only mobilized a large number of troops to the New World Starfield, but also secretly prepared a plan to deal with Anran.

Chapter 82 Taking the Initiative

The white light illuminated the room.

Accompanied by soothing music, the group from Eternal Star Road gathered together.

There were only five attendees, but all five were renowned Star Domain Rulers.

There is the Lord of the Night from the Sea of ​​Time Starfield, and Yega, the Nightmare of Deep Space.

Also present were Sawyer from Eternal Star Road, Jeffrey Reeves' father, and Keynes, who chaired the meeting.

Like Yiga, Keynes is an extremely rare cosmic behemoth.

But unlike Yega, who looks like a deep-sea monster, Keynes's true form is still quite close to humanoid.

Big eyes, small nose, and a face so sharp it could pierce a steel plate—it's like a character that jumped out of a certain style of comic book.

At this moment, he sat at the head of the meeting room and began to speak:

"According to the information sent back by our spies planted in the Exiled Empire, Anran officially went to the Eagle Eye Sector with Heda two days ago."

"Oh?"

Jeffrey narrowed his eyes.

His son Reeves and his old friend Fisher died at the hands of the Mechanicus, and he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Once I catch that woman, I'll make sure she knows the consequences of messing with me, and turn her into a heartless baby-making machine!

Sawyer's words interrupted Jeffrey's colorful reverie.

"We've mobilized so many people this time, and even partnered with Future Technology. We must succeed this time, otherwise we'll suffer a huge loss if they get away."

Even for a top-tier civilization like Eternal Star Road, mobilizing five star domain rulers simultaneously is no small matter.

In particular, the simultaneous transfer of five people from the front lines to carry out secret missions could have a significant impact on the main battlefield.

Therefore, if we are going to take action, we must succeed.

Otherwise, if they fail to eliminate the person and instead exacerbate the conflict with the Exiled Empire prematurely, it would be a huge loss.

Jeffrey waved his hand dismissively: "With Keynes holding Heda back, the four of us plus Sidney from Future Technology, how could we possibly be no match for a mere Anran?"

nonexistent.

Did those five people live for nearly seven thousand years, wasting their lives like dogs?

If such a thing were to happen, there would be no need to wait for the Grand Council's accountability or the Empire's retaliation by exiling the empire; they might as well just find a block of tofu and smash their head against it.

The Lord of the Night disagreed with Jeffrey's confidence.

"Although the detachment of the Exiled Empire on the surface only has two Star Domain Overlords, we cannot ignore the existence of Virginia."

That encounter in front of Silent City was a humiliating defeat for the Lord of the Night.

If it's just embarrassing, then it's not so bad.

It's a little embarrassing to say, but when the Night Lord saw the full-body photos of Virginia taken by players, he lost his temper.

That psychological trauma can't be cured in a short time.

Unless Virginia dies, or he can defeat Virginia in a 1v1 head-on fight.

But is that even possible?

The Lord of the Night felt it was impossible.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have developed a trauma.

"Look at your pathetic self."

Jeffrey gave the Lord of the Night a mocking look.

It's just Virginia, what's there to be afraid of?

What's the difference between "five against one" and "five against two"?

No.

People from small towns are just ignorant and always suspicious.

The Lord of the Night stared at Jeffrey expressionlessly.

It's said that this guy is even stronger than Sawyer.

You're pretty good.

Let's pretend we didn't hear it today.

Yega, now a mushy mess of black sesame paste, slumped in his seat, watching the argument between the Lord of the Night and Jeffrey with an impassive expression.

harm.

Why not just listen quietly to them in the conference room of Eternal Star Road? Why argue with them about this and that?

It would be so nice to be a nobody like him, peaceful and happy, and he could even pick his toes when he had nothing to do.

Sawyer stepped in to smooth things over: "Indeed, besides Virginia, we cannot ignore the other star system ruler of the Mechanicus, and the Exiled Empire also has the Star Miracle..."

“We still have the advantage in numbers, and those people in the New World Starfield certainly won’t stand idly by,” Jeffrey said.

Yes.

Keynes smiled and nodded.

This has already been taken into consideration by those above.

Moreover, it wouldn't be a problem even if the people in the New World Starfield chose to sit back and watch the fight.

Their side consists of established and powerful individuals, whose average strength is significantly greater than that of An Ran and Heda's side.

"Let's contact the people at Future Technology first. Once we reach an agreement, we'll set off immediately," Keynes decided.

……

That was somewhere in the starry sky near a planetary graveyard.

A shuttle-shaped spaceship is concealing itself and rapidly heading towards the Eagle Eye Sector.

Inside the spaceship, Sidney, who was leisurely fiddling with building blocks, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

"Is this a contact from the Eternal Star Road?"

He casually tossed the building blocks onto the tower he had built, and they landed steadily.

Sidney said, "Connect."

A moment later, Keynes appeared in the spaceship.

He was gentle and refined, and had the air of an artist.

This made Sidney feel a sense of goodwill towards him.

Is there anything urgent?

Keynes nodded and said, "We've received information about Enron's movements. How's the situation on your end?"

Sidney didn't rush to answer Keynes' question, but instead asked, "Tell me about her movements first."

"Two days ago, she and Heda led a fleet of 500,000 warships out of the Veil of Light, with their destination being the Eagle Eye Sector near the Veil of Light."

Hawkeye Sector?

Sidney quickly opened the star map that Eternal Starway had sent him not long ago.

The administrative divisions of the New World Starfield are somewhat similar to those of the two top civilizations.

Of course, the name "Hawkeye Sector" was simply a translation for ease of understanding.

From the Veil of Light to the Eagle Eye region lies a desolate expanse of space spanning nearly 400 million light-years.

Given that that area is part of the New World Star System, it is impossible for the Exiled Empire's fleet to directly jump there.

The use of warp drives can significantly reduce flight time, but the presence of escort ships will still slow down the journey of large fleets.

“That means they’ll need at least eight days on the road. And once they arrive, they’ll definitely need to investigate the Eagle Eye Sector and build a stargate for rapid troop transport, which will take at least five or six days.” Sidney nodded. “Half a month should be enough for me to catch up with them. As for your situation…”

Keynes chuckled and said, "You don't need to question the technology and strength of our Eternal Star Path."

“That’s true.” Sidney didn’t care about Keynes’s attitude. “Then let’s meet up directly in the Hawkeye Sector. Hopefully, you’ll have the Stargate built by then. Otherwise, facing attacks from millions of warships at the same time won’t be easy, even with me here. That woman is no pushover.”

"We'll get in touch then."
