Chapter 993 The Mastermind
The Kunder Clan war happened in the Shattered Star Ring. The Empire kept the process of the war secret and did not release a statement to the outside world, so this event did not cause any waves in the explored universe, and few people cared.
Only some special forces were paying attention to it deliberately.
The Ancient Star Desert, Three Kings Star.
This was one of the landmark planets of the Ancient Star Desert, and it was the capital planet of the Modo Civilization.
The Modo Civilization, also known as the Modo Three Kings Federation, was one of the four Super Star Cluster level civilizations that controlled the Ancient Star Desert.
The Three Kings Federation referred to the national conditions of the Modo Civilization, dating back to the Exploration Era.
At that time, the dominant group of the Modo Civilization was only the Modo people. During the Exploration Era War, the Modo people tried to annex two other powerful civilizations by force, but they did not have the same crushing strength as the Empire against the Kunder Clan and could only gradually erode them.
The war dragged on for an extremely long time, and all three parties had other enemies coveting them from the outside. Under internal and external troubles, the three parties chose to stop the war and make peace, and they all made compromises and concessions. The most powerful Modo people did not need to return all the territories they had conquered.
So, the borders of the three parties bordered each other. After the restoration of trade and daily circulation, the races of the three families began to live together, and there was a trend of integration.
After that, the situation in the Exploration Era War became more and more dangerous. The Modo people and their two old opponents felt strenuous, and because of their close proximity, the three parties guarded each other's backs. After long-term consultation, they finally decided to form an alliance, help each other, and strive to survive the dangerous Exploration Era War.
As the war spread and time passed, the three parties gradually expanded outwards, and their territories, technologies, economies, and military fields all reached Star Cluster level standards. Moreover, none of these three parties had xenophobic ideas. In the long external war, the situation of racial integration became more and more obvious, and the upper echelons also carried out a certain degree of intermarriage and alliances.
If things developed normally, these three families might become opponents who united and intrigued each other like the three great civilizations, but they were not the winners of the Exploration Era and could only obey the rules of the three great civilizations. Everyone was forbidden to fight again.
After the war, the division of interests followed. The advanced civilizations that survived in the major Star Areas finally began to establish order. In order to lay the foundation for their own status in the new era, every advanced civilization became extremely active on the diplomatic and political stage.
At that time, the three most powerful Super Star Cluster level civilizations in the Ancient Star Desert established their guiding principles. The Modo people and the other two were only at the Star Cluster level at that time and were not qualified to obtain a seat as Star Area managers.
The three families thought about it. Anyway, you slept with my brother, and I married your sister. We are almost one family, and our territories are connected. The races are also well integrated, so why not merge? This way, we will have the opportunity to get the title of a Super Star Cluster level civilization, and our right to speak will be much greater.
When the other Star Cluster level civilizations heard this, they were immediately unhappy. Oh, you three want to merge, so should we also merge? Isn't this cheating!
Examples of peaceful civilization mergers were rare, but they did occur in the Exploration Era.
Peaceful mergers required a foundation, and the three Modo families happened to have such qualifications. The three parties had maintained a political alliance for many years and had already advanced and retreated together. The races were also highly integrated, and mixed-race people accounted for 24% of the total population. The economy and culture were even more integrated, and many outsiders had long regarded them as one.
Finally, after a series of complex operations, the Modo Civilization's merger application was approved by the three hooligans, which established the system of three leaders representing their respective Star Cluster level races jointly ruling, making the number of Super Star Cluster civilizations in the Ancient Star Desert four. The Modo Civilization successfully became a Star Area manager.
Developing to this day, the Modo Civilization had completely secured its qualification as a Super Star Cluster level civilization and was a powerful civilization in the first tier of the explored universe.
At this moment, on the capital planet, the three kings of the Modo Civilization gathered together to listen to a report.
"...Intelligence shows that the Empire has withdrawn its troops, proving that the natives have been resolved. It took 116 days, and the Empire's casualties were minimal."
There was only one figure in the conference room. A mixed-race high-ranking official in a uniform stood in the center of the room, reading out the intelligence to the three kings' projections on the virtual screen.
He was thin and gloomy, and his whole person exuded a cold aura.
This person was named Madi, a high-level cadre of the Modo Civilization, responsible for intelligence, secret operations, and other types of work.
Like other Super Star Cluster civilizations, the Modo Civilization also sent stowaways to the Shattered Star Ring. Madi was in charge of the project.
The plan to use the Kunder Clan to injure the Crimson Empire was proposed by him, and the strategy of having the stowaways deploy the crashed spaceship was also approved by him.
"Those natives are too useless. They can't even make the Empire lose a few more troops." One of the leaders shook his head.
"Natives are just natives after all. We can't ask too much of them." Madi was expressionless.
The life and death of the Kunder Clan were not within his consideration at all. To him, they were just a tool that could be used.
"What are your plans next?"
Madi said lightly, "I have already let the stowaway troops in the Shattered Star Ring continue to explore and look for the next native civilization that can be used. With this native example, other Super Star Cluster civilizations will follow our approach, which will not only cause more trouble for the Empire, but also use the Empire's hand to eliminate possible future competitors."
"Well, it's best not to let the Empire find out that we planned this."
Another leader said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Excellencies," Madi sneered. "I have already made arrangements. It is impossible for the Empire to know who did it."
...
A few days later, the expeditionary Imperial troops finally escorted the Kunder Clan back to Beacon Star. The Imperial upper echelons also decided on a solution and notified Han Xiao.
"The Empire has decided to settle the Kunder Clan in your territory for cultural transformation. During this period, they will be cut off from contact with interstellar society and will be under your supervision."
Tarrokov in the communicator brought the good news. Han Xiao, who was teasing Phillip, immediately smiled.
"Okay, leave it to me. Thank His Excellency the Head of State for me."
Han Xiao nodded. This decision proved that the Empire had balanced all opinions and was willing to let him obtain the population resources of the Kunder Clan. Ulan Riel's opinion must have played a key role.
In this way, the first requirement of the mission is basically stable... Han Xiao muttered to himself.
"Well, someone will connect with your Black Star Army then." Tarrokov nodded and changed the topic. "There is another thing I want to tell you. The Empire is investigating the mastermind behind the use of the Kunder Clan, but there are very few clues. The crashed spaceship is a common model, and the factory number cannot be found. We must first find the stowaways who deployed the spaceship. Maybe we need your help in this regard."
"It's my duty." Han Xiao's eyes lit up. It was related to the mission, and he was quite happy to help.
Locking down the identity of the mastermind was a necessary prerequisite for completing the mission. Those stowaways were probably already in the uncultivated Star Areas in the back, and finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The difficulty was very high.
In this regard, he was afraid that he would have to ask Grandpa Isy to help.
Although the mission description was vague, he was sure that relying solely on the Empire's sanctions would not be enough to meet the second mission requirement. In the end, he still had to rely on himself.
It meant that I had to fight against a complete Star Cluster level or even Super Star Cluster level...
Han Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.
There were, of course, dangers, but he also had advantages. After all, the three great civilizations liked to bully these Super Star Clusters the most.
So, it might be okay if I went a little too far... Han Xiao pondered in his heart.
"By the way, the Kunder Clan's high-level live broadcast is about to begin. They will mention you. Watch it together?" At this time, Old Tar said.
"Okay."
Han Xiao put away his thoughts and nodded.
...
At the same time, on the Kunder Clan's main ship.
An Imperial Intelligence Bureau agent wearing a crimson military uniform and black gloves walked into the Kunder Clan leader's cell and threw down a document.
The Kunder Clan leader, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, picked up the document in front of him, and slowly flipped through it.
He looked at it carefully and then closed the document and slowly opened his mouth.
"Is this the ending you prepared for me? I will cooperate well."
"I know, but we still need some insurance." The Imperial Intelligence agent was expressionless. He reached out and pressed the Kunder Clan leader's head and implanted a group of psychic bombs.
This did not affect the Kunder Clan leader's independent consciousness, but he could control his thoughts remotely at any time to prevent him from changing his mind.
"I have already made an agreement with His Excellency Black Star. I will not mess around. You are doing something unnecessary."
The Kunder Clan leader shook his head.
The Imperial Intelligence agent did not answer and said in a deep voice, "Come with me. The time has come. The live broadcast is ready."
Slowly exhaling, the Kunder Clan leader stood up and lowered his head to carefully tidy his clothes.
He tidied up for a full minute, making sure that there was no trace of dust on his clothes before he raised his head again, strode out of the cell, and went to meet his death.
