Poverty makes me capable of anything.

With the decline of imperial power and the constant division and reunification of various forces, there was a sense of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Meanwhile, An Ran calmly farmed on Dolphin Star.

The game is currently undergoing an update, and the time difference between in-game and out-of-game is no longer 10 to 1, or even uniform.

The official third video wasn't released until March 6th, within the game itself.

Three days to go.

The number three in the center of the video gradually recedes into the distance, eventually disappearing into the convergence of black and white.

The players' guesses were partially correct; the main color scheme of the third video is still black and white.

The two infinitely extending roads eventually converged, but instead of transforming into a yin-yang symbol due to the collision, they turned into a misty fog.

In the hazy light, two different beams of light seemed to converge.

The soothing music that started at the beginning of the video suddenly became more upbeat at this point.

Just as players were eagerly anticipating the next development in the video, they suddenly realized that the progress bar had already finished.

【? ? ? 】

The live chat was flooded with question marks.

[Is this a joke? Actually, there's also a 2P video, right?]

However, the video does not have a 2P component.

No matter how hard players searched, they couldn't find the so-called "hidden Easter egg" on the official website.

[Top to bottom meat]

[Damn it, when did this lousy planner start taking courses in writing off-the-top plots?]

[Game designer, come out here! I have two gold bars I'm planning to deposit into the game.]

I am a life counseling expert. If you have any planning needs in this area, feel free to message me.

【…】

However, even though the forums were in an uproar, the game publisher remained completely unmoved.

They seem to have reached a sublime state of being, "unperturbed by favor or disgrace, watching the flowers bloom and fade in the courtyard; indifferent to staying or leaving, gazing at the clouds drifting in the sky."

Everything is vanity.

The voice messages and texts typed by players are not insults, but expressions of love for the game!

To repay their love, we must steadfastly advance the original plan and ensure the game's continued success.

Time flew by, and on April 27th, when Vesa's allies were beginning to take shape, the official fourth video was released.

The mist swirled, pulling the line of sight infinitely high, and what came into view seemed to be a strange eye.

Then, some blurry images began to be reflected in that eye.

The video has ended here.

This time, the players finally adopted a more relaxed attitude.

Okay, go ahead and release the videos. Once you've finished, I don't believe you'll dare not release the game update.

If you dare to default on your promise, the company will be dismantled.

"The intervals are getting longer each time, and this time it might be about two months."

Enron's predictions were largely correct.

Before June, the Hyperspace also received an invitation to the Allied Forces' founding meeting, and Enron assigned Heloise to attend the meeting.

The allied forces assembled by Vesa consisted mainly of the original Ninth Expeditionary Force of the Empire, one-third of the Fifth Expeditionary Force, a mixed army that had defected from the Fourth Prince's side, the nearby independent army "War Front", the "Crystal Civilization" that roamed the stars, and the famous mercenary legions Underground and Time-Space.

In terms of numbers, it was roughly the same as the army assembled by the Second Prince, but its cohesion was also much stronger...

An Ran couldn't help but shake her head.

He's certainly become bolder, but in terms of command convenience, he's definitely not as good as the Second Prince.

For example, in the case of the Hyperdimension, if Vesa wanted to draw upon the Hyperdimension fleet to serve as the vanguard.

An Ran would only reply with a "heh heh" and say, "Do whatever you want, I'm not going. Come and hit me if you dare!"

Visa was aware of this situation, but it was a last resort.

Life is really tough.

The objective was to completely occupy the Selene military industrial zone, while also dealing with the roaming Sixth Expeditionary Force and restoration organizations like Nolan and the Land of the Xia.

Neither of them is easy to deal with.

A large fleet is the foundation of a power, but a sufficient number of top-tier combatants also have the ability to turn the tide of battle.

This is one of the reasons why Visa insisted on bringing in the hyperspace element.

The feat of sinking the Heimdall was truly remarkable.

The sinking of the Heimdall largely led to the Second Prince's series of reckless actions in the Kadomo region.

In early June, the war in the Central Region entered a critical stage, and the Allied forces finally formulated the first phase of their strategy.

The target is the three star systems behind the Serene military industrial zone in Cadomo.

The troops stationed there belong to the Fourth Prince, but due to the obstruction of the Royal Guard, they have lost contact with Aistar, making this the perfect time to attack.

Both the front lines of the war, the Crystal Civilization, and the Underground Legion received mobilization orders.

Time travel is no exception.

Trigger an S-rank faction mission.

The Changes in Selene

[Affiliation]: Nova Allies

[Mission Brief]: The Nova Alliance has launched a final assault on the shattered Selene military industrial zone. As a member of the Nova Alliance, you should also answer the call and contribute to the capture of the entire Selene military industrial zone.

[Mission Reward]: Conquer the entire Selene Military Industrial Zone

1. Rewards will be given based on individual contributions. Please click for details.

2. Rewards will be given based on contribution to the [Time-Space] faction. Please click for details.

This faction conflict mission is roughly similar to the faction mission that Enron took on when he was still on board 1886 to attack the Far East branch of Morningstar.

Although the scale is incomparable, the form is not much different.

These are all main storyline quests.

This corresponds to the "general trend," the direction of the version!

The confrontation between the two major camps involves a large number of forces, and even within the same camp, there are many different "small groups".

As the ruler of the transdimensional world, An Ran led his entire subordinate faction to participate in the war between two larger factions.

Her contribution to the transdimensional space-time continuation will also be converted into a portion of her reward.

Due to their complex internal structure, this type of faction mission also includes many competitive missions and missions with point-based reward pools...

Even if one side loses in the end, the players who participated can still gain a lot.

Unlike those faction battles that are irrelevant to the main storyline, where if you lose, the gains might not even be as great as the investment, and you might lose everything.

“The war has been in preparation for nearly four months, and it will certainly last a long time. By the time Vesa can possibly invade Aistar, it will probably be at least next year. I still have time,” An Ran pondered.

Void Panda, don't let me down.

It was early June, and An Ran, responding to the call, led a portion of the fleet to set off first.

Players will have to wait at least another month to return, by which time the war will most likely have already begun.

Players who have had a break will be thrown into intense main storyline battles as soon as they enter the game. The corresponding version name, "Eve of the Storm," should give players even more to look forward to.

If such a large-scale war is only the "eve of the storm," what will it be like when the real storm arrives?

The official team really piqued our interest.

From releasing a key plot update to releasing a trailer video every other day, the choice of version name is full of pitfalls.

On June 6th, the official release date for the game, the fifth trailer video was released.

This was a very memorable day for Anran.

At noon on June 6th, four years ago, she waited for the player's arrival in Colin's workshop in Twin Moon City.

Excited yet nervous, I scrolled through the forum, experiencing the various amazing things that other players did. Seeing those words, Anran felt a thrill of finally meeting her kindred spirits.

The fifth teaser video.

The displayed time has changed to 1.

One person, one road, one starry sky, one world, one goal.

A flame rose from the illusory world.

Accompanied by background music that alternates between somber and rousing moments, the trailers released worldwide all featured the same lines delivered in local language familiar to gamers.

"Life always blossoms in the darkest places."

"When I rise from the flames, the winds of vengeance will guide me on my path."

"Shackles are nothing but prisons for the self-righteous!"

That voice was full of authority.

An Ran's ears twitched the moment she heard it.

This is An Ran's voice!

It was just the voice of the pirate princess Anran.

In fact, Princess Anran, the pirate, spoke in the trailer before the open beta, but her tone and manner of speaking were different. I wonder if any players will have guessed this.

At the end of the video, there was a "Click for details →" link. However, clicking on it led to a compilation video that combined all five trailers into one.

"The final promotional video will be released tomorrow!"

As a result, the players who were still guessing the plot in their minds immediately exploded, "I'll poke you, you dog planner who likes to keep us in suspense!"
