Poverty makes me capable of anything.

With a loud bang, one of the people in the conference room suddenly stood up and awkwardly ran straight out the door.

"I'll go ask too."

"I am coming too!"

The conference room, which was full, was emptied in an instant.

The room leader looked around and muttered to himself, "Then I'll go ask too."

With his feet seemingly oiled, the room leader was fast, steady, and agile in turning, quickly overtaking several people from the side and behind.

A few minutes later they found out the truth.

The reason the media knew the facts first was because the night owl had notified them.

Night Owl discovered a hyperspace route from the mining area to the vicinity of the directly administered area. Putting aside the enormous price they paid for this route, the discovery of this route alone shocked everyone who heard the news.

The areas directly under the jurisdiction of Ocean Forest are no longer safe!

They were completely exposed to the Night Owl's offensive.

Night Owl's warship traversed an enormous distance to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory. The fleet pursuing the rebels was lured to the vicinity of the end of the shipping lane, and ultimately, ambushed, it disintegrated before it could even send out a distress signal.

The Sixth Expeditionary Force is currently engaged in battle with Night Owl's main force in the mining area. If news from here gets out, then...

Even the reporters, who were always eager to stir up trouble, felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

The fact that Night Owls released this information meant that they were going to take a gamble.

The governor's office could actually mobilize a limited number of troops.

A major crisis looms overhead.

No wonder Governor Fitch was furious like never before.

The chief of staff hung up the communication and looked out at the group of people standing at the foot of the Governor's Mansion.

This time, something really might be going to happen.

Dark clouds appeared in the sky above the empire.

The room leader wasn't a local from Ocean Forest. At this moment, he was filled with mixed feelings, wondering if the saku in his hometown... had bloomed yet.

……

"It's here, a bit faster than expected."

In a quiet little restaurant on Aquamarine, a young man with a backpack spoke to a boy walking towards him from a distance.

The boy here had a youthful face and wore a loose robe with his hands completely tucked into his sleeves. The robe had thick white stripes on both sides of the zipper.

"What would you like to order, sir?" the owner behind the counter asked with a smile.

The boy said expressionlessly, "Can we temporarily close down and let me talk to him?"

He pointed to the young man carrying a backpack.

A fleeting mist appeared in her bright eyes.

"No problem." The boss nodded mechanically.

Then, the shop door closed automatically, and the owner went up to the second floor from the lift platform behind the counter.

The lights prevented the shop from being completely dark after closing time.

"You still like to do unnecessary things." The young man put down his cup helplessly.

The boy sat down and said, "I don't like having someone watching me when I'm talking."

"What was the actual situation when you went to investigate last time?"

“It’s chaotic.” The boy’s expression suddenly turned serious. “When I tried to peer inside, all I saw was a sky full of stars. The fragments were like a torrent, and even the high walls I built were riddled with holes. It’s strange, but I didn’t find any familiar scenes.”

"I see. Although we were being too neurotic, that person must be no ordinary person either."

"And then, what do you think?"

You mean this time?

"Correct."

"Isn't it a reasonable fate for those who defy the Holy Lord to become crushed pebbles in the torrent of history?" the young man chuckled.

"Agreed, the truth is never wrong."

In the dim light, two strange people sat facing each other. They neither continued their conversation nor savored the desserts in the shop. Instead, they seemed to be lost in thought at the same time.

……

The news that Night Owl had informed the media was quickly spread through online media via NPCs.

And it spread to player forums in a very short time.

The main forum of Aquamarine Forest and the forum of Aquamarine Star are where the most heated discussions take place.

Surprise attack!

A major mission that has been in the works for more than half a year!

A pivotal battle between the Empire and the Night Owl!

These keywords quickly became trending topics.

The strategic battle surrounding Aquamarine Star won't last long; this is a consensus among everyone.

However, players don't have much time left, as there are less than 24 hours left before the server shutdown test.

Players on Aquamarine Star were the first to get ready, while players nearby were trying their best to get to Aquamarine Star.

Unfortunately, with the outbreak of "war," no civilian flights dared to travel near Aquamarine.

In a very short time, Aquamarine seemed to have become a closed loop.

This will be a climax of the Blue Forest map event, but not the whole story.

It turned out to be the case.

At this moment, Zhou Jieyu and the others finally understood why An Ran had brought them here.

"So, should we help Night Owl or the Governor?" Zhou Jieyu asked excitedly.

Justice and evil, black and white—none of that matters. What matters is Anran's perspective.

We will firmly follow in Enron's footsteps and forge ahead under Enron's leadership!

Embrace the right people, do the right things.

"Night Owl!"

An Ran gave a concise and powerful reply.

The task was posted, and then Zhou Jieyu spread it to the forum.

Experience rewards, weapon rewards, robot rewards, and Machi's first version combat suit reward.

When there are more benefits to be gained, Enron is not stingy with what it gives to players. Of course, if the quest system weren't so rigid, giving a little less wouldn't be a problem.

An Ran directly plagiarized the name of the previous hidden mission.

The Anran version of "Owl's Roar" includes destroying targets and inflicting casualties on enemy forces.

Due to level restrictions, Anran can only issue a maximum of 230 tasks per day.

Although she hasn't received any tasks from the system yet, An Ran already has high expectations.

"rustle--"

It was a message from Nadia.

Anran answered the call quickly.

“Where are you now?” Nadia asked.

After agreeing on a meeting place, it wasn't long before the Enron detected several ships approaching.

“All is well, the target is 70 light-seconds away from us,” Ella reported.

almost.

The 70 light-second journey didn't take too long. Of the four ships that arrived, three were Night Owl's warships, and the other was under the command of Harrison's subordinate, Caladotil.

With the help of someone familiar with the situation mediating, everyone quickly reached a consensus, with their goal set on the City of Eternal Hope.

Hidden missions and important storylines are revealed in the final 16 hours before game maintenance.

This may be the longest day since the game launched, or it may be the fastest day.

Lin Yumo gripped the sword and spear firmly in her hands.

Through life or death, keep going!

Anran, who had just visited Maqi who was starving, flicked her right hand, revealing three cards in her grasp.

Proof of Oath, Zerg Summoning Card, and Teya Zerg Summoning Card!

With the addition of 200 robots and 230 "hidden" players on the spaceship, Anran holds far more cards than one might imagine.

Let's duel!

The first game of the Empire.

So, which card should we draw first?

Chapter 62 Support An Ran, Charge!

The City of Everlook is named after a city, but its actual size is far smaller than that of a modern city. It would be more appropriate to describe it as a sky city perched atop a mountain.

However, this sky city is not dreamlike.

Unlike the Star Ring, which is full of colorful dreams and revolves around an artificial continent, or the Spiral Mountain in the Central Region, which offers surprises of unknown exploration and different combinations every time you climb upwards, it is simply a former governor's mansion in the Azure Forest that has existed for 300 years.

It bears the marks of history, but it is even more magnificent and awe-inspiring than the Sky Mountain.

The governor's mansion in the empire has always been a massive building that serves as a place of function. It is not a large mansion as people imagine it. Strictly speaking, it is a complex of buildings that integrates all the functions of the governor.

Therefore, even without the aid of the ship's equipment, Anran could still see the outline of Eternal Hope during the ship's descent.
