Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Moreover, among the three currently vying for the throne, his reputation is the best. Although the situation is not good for the time being, he still has a chance if he plays it safe and steady.

But this would turn the empire's civil war into a protracted and arduous struggle.

This is a situation the Second Prince does not want to see.

Once a protracted war breaks out, the empire's territory will inevitably fragment.

If the war between the Covenant and the Omnic Horde ends prematurely, it will be even more difficult to restore peace once the Covenant intervenes.

"We must act quickly. Taking over the Selene military industrial zone will not only strengthen our forces but also threaten the central region from the flank. Although the Fourth Prince has temporarily gained the upper hand, they are not a unified force. This chaotic combination can indeed compromise with each other, but if external pressure is applied sufficiently, collapse is foreseeable."

The second prince gazed at the starry sky.

He cursed inwardly.

"These damned transdimensional and Black Tide traitors, one day I will send you all to the guillotine!"

……

For the vast starry sky, ten days is but a fleeting moment.

But for players who are shouldering a "major mission," even if they log off and AFK to wait on a boat, the wait is still very painful.

Fortunately, the spaceship successfully reached its destination.

Near the temporary military zone in the Dream Sea region!

"Split up!"

"Remember to set your respawn point, so you don't make a wasted trip."

"I understand, I understand."

"Don't make it too exaggerated."

"Please trust my acting skills."

"The problem is I find it hard to believe... Oh well, whatever."

"Goodbye."

The players who came out of the airport quickly dispersed to other places.

From that day on, wherever the Sixth Expeditionary Force was stationed or wherever officers of the Sixth Expeditionary Force were seen, a few strangers would always appear.

Moreover, these strangers are particularly annoying.

They would shout loudly as soon as they appeared—

"The Empire has broken out in civil war. The Dream Sea region can no longer be defended. Rather than waiting here to be beaten, we might as well go and seek refuge with the Second Prince now to end this turmoil as soon as possible."

"A moment of patience brings peace, a step back opens up a vast sky. Let's end the civil war first, then go and get revenge on Night Owl."

"It's time for you to contribute your strength to defeat the rebellious fourth prince."

Holy crap.

"These people were sent after all!"

"Arrest them! Arrest them all! Damn it, isn't this undermining morale?"

The officers of the Sixth Expeditionary Force were furious.

I wanted to rush up and tear their mouths apart.

However, the capture operation did not go smoothly, as these outsiders were very cunning.

They all slipped away very quickly.

Knowing they couldn't escape and would immediately commit suicide, they knew they wouldn't be out of prison for a while.

After successfully escaping, I rested for a day or two and thought things would be peaceful again, but unexpectedly, the troublesome strangers reappeared.

Neither the cosmic behemoths nor the surging insect swarms gave the Sixth Expeditionary Force such a disgusting experience.

The inspections were ineffective; the strangers were increasingly adept at hiding.

Considering that there were also foreigners in their own army, the proposal to investigate all foreigners was also rejected.

nmd.

After hearing these irritating words repeatedly, regardless of who sent them, the entire Sixth Expeditionary Force was enraged.

"If you hold back for a moment, you'll get angrier the more you think about it; if you back down, you'll feel like you've lost out. Damn it."

"Lately, I feel nauseous and want to vomit whenever I hear the words 'Second Prince'."

"Isn't that three words?"

"Look, I'm so disgusted I can't even count the words."

"We are the empire's regular army, why should we give up our lives for their ambitions!"

"But we can't let those lunatics like Night Owls in!"

An Ran never expected that her disgusting method would actually have such a miraculous effect.

However, this was also thanks to the fact that the Sixth Expeditionary Force did not take sides in the first place.

The expeditionary force was led by General Reed and Lieutenant General Kipling, both members of the Imperial faction. They were not interested in who would inherit the throne, as long as the Empire did not collapse.

No matter who comes to power, their existence cannot be ignored.

The power they wield, and the influence their families represent, are an integral part of the empire.

"The Empire has erupted... Holy crap, why did it happen so fast today?"

The players had barely peeked out and uttered four words when they discovered that hundreds of soldiers had suddenly emerged from all around the street.

We've been ambushed!

"Run! If you don't run now, it will be too late!"

Another fierce chase ensued between the pale-faced player and the soldiers of the Sixth Expeditionary Force.

At this time, small-scale skirmishes broke out on the front lines of the Dream Sea region.

"Damn it, why are these imperial dogs acting like madmen today?"

"We can't hold on any longer."

"Retreat first, retreat first."

A small fleet lost a third of its manpower in an instant. Even Night Owl couldn't hold on and had to retreat.

"The situation is not good. The Sixth Expeditionary Force has launched a very fierce counterattack recently. We cannot fight them head-on at this stage."

"Let's hold a meeting and discuss the next steps."

The butterfly flapped its tiny wings, stirring up a storm.

……

"Are we really going to send these things out?"

Outside the airport in Baplo, Heloise asked Anran again.

“Why wouldn’t we deliver? We’ve already received their deposit.” An Ran blinked. “It’s a matter of integrity. We’re doing business outside of our own space-time continuum; how can we not keep our word?”

Heloise was speechless.

Integrity?

She stared at An Ran, "You, you probably have a tiny bit of that."

It's not beyond saving.

"Don't underestimate this matter. If we trick the Qianhexing rebels this time, we'll only make 20 billion bis, but we'll lose an entire forest. Who will dare to do business with us in the future?"

An Ran stood on tiptoe and put her hand on Heloise's shoulder, saying earnestly, "We need to think long-term. Once these goods are delivered, we can earn another 80 billion pesos."

What?

"..."

Heloise realized she had grasped the key words.

This isn't a matter of integrity; it's simply that you're eyeing their 80 billion pesos.

Pah! Shameless!

But what could Heloise say?

Although she is officially in charge of every military operation in the transdimensional world, she is actually just a "little maid" of An Ran.

The kind of person who could be dragged to warm someone's bed at any time.

"Little maids" have no "human rights" to speak of.

"Anyway, as long as you're happy."

There's nothing wrong with that; Anran is the supreme will of the transdimensional world.

The spaceships, laden with weapons, turned towards the amusement park, and then they would travel to the Kuroshio region via space jump.

“Haven’t we already decided to cooperate with the Second Prince’s side? Giving weapons to the Qianhexing rebels would just be creating trouble for ourselves,” Maggie said hesitantly.

"With me here, these are all minor problems."

Maggie suspected that Anran had left a backdoor in the weapon, but she had no proof.

However, considering An Ran's past deeds, such as stripping her of her combat uniform, she felt that An Ran was entirely capable of doing it.

If An Ran knew what she was thinking, she would definitely feel very wronged.

It's so heartbreaking, I really didn't do that this time!

I just... I just accidentally leaked the information, and maybe some bandits will steal the weapon.

If not, then consider the Qianhexing rebels lucky.

Less than two hours after sending the transport fleet away, Anran received a message from Werner.

"The money you requested has been delivered."

An Ran's eyes lit up instantly, as if reflecting the coin's mark.

"Quickly, let them in right away."
