983 Mastermind
The Kunde Race war happened in the Flickering World, and the dynasty kept the process of the war confidential. As such, this matter did not create a huge storm in the explored universe, with few paying attention to it.
Only a few special organizations had paid close attention to the war.
In the Primeval Star River, Planet Three Kings was an iconic planet and the capital planet of the Modo Civilization.
Modo Civilization was also known as the Modo Three Kings Alliance, and they were in charge of one of the four Super Star Cluster Civilizations in the Primeval Star River.
The Three Kings Alliance referred to the political situation in the Modo Civilization.
During the exploration era, the ruler of the Modo Civilization was a member of the Modo Race. The Modo Race attempted to swallow two other powerful civilizations during the exploration era, but they did not have sufficient strength to swallow up the enemy.
As the war dragged on, there were many parties eyeing the three civilizations. As such, the three civilizations could only choose to ceasefire and negotiate. The most powerful Modo Race did not need to return all the territory that they conquered. The borders of the three civilizations became joint. As trade returned to normal, the three races began mixing with each other and showed signs of merging.
After that, the war in the exploration era became even more terrifying. The Modo Race and their two old opponents felt threatened by their opponents. Since the three of their territories were near each other, they covered each other’s back, and after a long period of working together, they decided to form an alliance to survive.
As the flames of war expanded and time went on, the three parties gradually expanded and their territory, technology, economy, and military gradually reached the level of a Star Cluster. During the long period of the war, the signs of the three races merging together grew even more obvious with political marriages being held among the upper echelons.
If things went on normally, the three civilizations might have ended up like the three Universal Civilizations and schemed against each other. However, they were not the winners of the exploration era and could only listen to the rules of the three Universal Civilizations.
After the war, it was time to split up the benefits of the war. The various advanced civilizations finally established proper laws, and every advanced civilization became extremely active in foreign diplomacy to solidify their position.
At that time, there were three Super Star Cluster Civilizations that were the most powerful. The Modo Civilization and the other two parties were only Star Cluster civilizations and did not have the rights to manage the Star Field.
Since the three parties already had plenty of marriages with each other and were almost like a big family, they decided to just merge together so that they could become a Super Star Cluster Civilization and obtain greater rights.
It was extremely rare to see the merger of civilizations, but there were a few examples in the exploration era.
There needed to be a foundation behind the merger, and the three civilizations had sufficient foundations. The three parties had been in an alliance for a long time, and their races got along pretty well. Furthermore, their economy and culture had already been merged into one, and many outsiders already treated the three as one civilization.
As such, the Modo Civilization managed to gain the approval of the three Universal Civilizations and became the fourth Super Star Cluster Civilization in the Primeval Star River.
After many years of development, the Modo Civilization had already solidified their place as a Super Star Cluster Civilization and was a top notch civilization in the explored universe.
At this moment, the three kings of the Modo Civilization were gathered on the capital planet and listening to a report.
“The report shows that the dynasty has already recalled their forces. This means that those natives have been taken care of. The dynasty’s losses are almost negligible.”
A figure could be seen in the conference room. It was a mixed blood upper echelon dressed in military attire.
He was skinny and had an eerie aura around him.
His name was called Madison, and he was an upper echelon of the Modo Civilization. He was in charge of intelligence and stealth missions.
The Modo Civilization had also sent stowaways to the Flickering World like the other Super Star Cluster Civilizations, and Madison was the one in charge of the operation.
He was the one who had come up with the idea to make use of the Kunde Race to injure the Crimson Dynasty.
“These natives are far too useless. They weren’t even able to injure the dynasty’s fleet.” One of the leaders shook his head.
“Natives will be natives, after all; we cannot have too high expectations of them,” Madison said expressionlessly.
The life and death of the Kunde Race was not even within his consideration. They were no more than a tool to him.
“What are your plans?”
“I have already gotten the stowaway fleet in the Flickering World to continue their exploration and find the next native civilization that we can make use of,” Madison said calmly. “With this native civilization as an example, the other Super Star Cluster Civilizations will also mimic our actions. Not only will it create trouble for the dynasty, we can also borrow the dynasty’s strength to get rid of our future competitors.”
“You’d better not let the dynasty find out that we are the ones behind this,” another leader said with a deep voice.
“Don’t worry, Your Excellencies.” Madison’s lips curled up with a sneer. “I have already made the relevant arrangements. It is impossible for the dynasty to find out who the culprit is.”
...
A couple of days later, the dynasty’s fleet finally escorted the Kunde Race back to Planet Lighthouse. The dynasty had also decided on how they should deal with the Kunde Race and informed Han Xiao.
“The dynasty decided to settle the Kunde Race down in your territory and educate them. During this period, you must cut off their connection from the Galactic Society, and they will be in your charge.”
Tarrokov brought this piece of good news to Han Xiao.
“Alright then, just leave the matter to me. Please thank Her Excellency for me.”
Urranrell’s words must have played a huge part in the dynasty’s decision.
This way, the first mission requirement would probably be fulfilled.
“Hmm, there will be people meeting up with your Black Star Army later.” Tarrokov nodded before changing the topic. “There is something else. The dynasty is currently investigating the mastermind behind this matter. However, there are few clues, and the spaceship wreckage is of a very common model. We aren’t able to find its serial number, and we have to first trace the spaceship to the stowaways first. We may need your help for this.”
“I would be happy to help.” Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled. Since this matter was related to the mission, he would naturally be willing to help.
Finding the identity of the mastermind was the first step to completing the mission. However, the stowaways would have definitely escaped into the unexplored region. It was no different from finding a needle in a haystack, and it was a challenging task.
He would probably have to seek Aesop’s help for this.
The mission introduction was extremely vague, but he was certain that relying on the dynasty’s punishment would not complete the mission requirement. He would still have to rely on himself in the end.
This means that I will have to clash with a complete Super Star Cluster Civilization...
Han Xiao’s eyes sparkled.
There would definitely be dangers, but he still had some advantages. After all, the three Universal Civilizations enjoyed bullying these Super Star Cluster Civilizations the most.
Thus, it shouldn’t matter even if I go overboard.
“Right, the direct broadcast of the Kunde Race upper echelons will be starting soon. You will be mentioned. Do you want to watch it together?” Tarrokov said.
Han Xiao nodded. “Okay.”
...
At the same time, on the Kunde Race flagship, a dynasty intelligence officer threw a document to the Kunde Race leader.
The Kunde Race leader, who had his eyes shut, picked up the document and read it slowly.
After reading it carefully, he slowly said, “This is the outcome that you have prepared for me? I will work together with you.”
“I know, but we still need some insurance,” the dynasty intelligence officer said expressionlessly and held onto the Kunde Race leader’s head to plant a Psychic bomb.
This would not influence the Kunde Race leader’s independent thought, but they would be able to control his thoughts remotely.
“I have already made a deal with His Excellency Black Star and will not make a silly move. This is a pointless action.” The Kunde Race leader shook his head.
The intelligence officer did not reply and said with a deep voice, “Follow me. It is time for the live broadcast.”
Letting out a long breath, the Kunde Race leader stood up and tidied up his clothes.
After a full minute and ensuring that there were no creases or dust left behind on his clothes, he departed and welcomed his death.
