Chapter 1184 Blood-stained Authority

Although the Crimson Guards were all elite humans with strong individual combat power, and they were fearless in the face of death, in such a confined space, facing such a high density of powerful weapons fire, the outcome was predictable.

Immediately, the entire room was filled with severed limbs and corpses, extremely bloody, and large swathes of blood splattered even on the walls!

Then, Prince Pombalu, carrying the momentum of ruthless killing, casually trimmed his fingernails, and unintentionally said in front of the old man with an iron face and Phi Ji, whose face was ashen:

"I want the pyroelement bars brought back by this sailor. No matter how much he produces, the Big Ben Research Institute will take it all. Meng Ge, you can discuss the specific details, I just want the result."

At this point, Prince Pombalu gave Fang Senyan a threatening glance:

"However, you contractor must remember that according to the agreement between the Empire and the Nightmare Space, you have the right to refuse to sell anything, but if you insist on selling, then the only trading partner can be us! Otherwise, anyone who dares to violate my words is an enemy of the Empire!"

Hearing such an overbearing declaration, a surge of unyielding pride welled up in Fang Senyan's heart, and he couldn't help but sneer. But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something and a sentence.

The thing he remembered was the illusion that occurred on the planet Epros during the battle with the man who called himself the Fool, or rather, the secret hidden deep within his heart?

The sentence he remembered was what the Skull Man Barbarian test subject said to him in his dying moments: "You must, you must go to the Big Ben Research Institute! Inside! There, there is, there is your...your..."

Wasn't this Prince Pombalu an important member of the Big Ben Research Institute?

With this thought in mind, Fang Senyan immediately calmed down and bowed to Prince Pombalu:

"Your will shall become the principle I adhere to, Your Highness."

Prince Pombalu snorted and looked at the old Gold Star Admiral:

"Don't think that no one knows about the tricks you guys are playing behind the scenes. The Emperor is just being merciful for the time being, it's not like you've done it flawlessly!"

After saying this, Prince Pombalu's image disappeared. Fang Senyan noticed a crucial thing. Although this prince had an imposing aura and impressive momentum, and even displayed bloody slaughter, he had only killed the Crimson Guards.

Logically speaking, Major General Phi Ji was the biggest opponent against him, but Prince Pombalu still didn't touch him! From this, it could be seen that the prince's arrogance and unruliness were just an outer layer, and he knew very well what could and couldn't be done. He was merely intimidating.

From this, it could be inferred that this vast interstellar empire had rebels outside, and there were also clear signs of warlord separatism within. As for the lives of the people at the bottom, there were also clear distinctions. Although he didn't hear any complaints, it was probably because no one dared to voice them.

If this continued, without the rebels needing to win consecutive victories, just surviving and continuing to put pressure on the empire, Fang Senyan could foresee that civil strife might really occur in the empire in the near future!

After the communication ended, Ronnie came again to persuade Fang Senyan to sell the pyroelement bars, guaranteeing that the price offered here would be higher than the prince's side. This was clearly instructed by General Phi Ji, completely disregarding the prince's words. From this, it could be seen that the profit from pyroelements was indeed very large, and secondly, the imperial authority had almost disappeared in this remote war zone star field.

This kind of thing sounded very outrageous, but thinking about the powerful ministers and generals Lan Yu and Hu Weiyong under the wise and domineering founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and Nian Gengyao, the valiant general under Yongzheng, if these people had taken the emperor's authority seriously, then why would they have ended up with their heads separated from their bodies? Moreover, Prince Pombalu was only a prince, at most he could only make the old guy bow his head face-to-face. Perhaps he could convince him verbally, but convince him from the heart? How was that possible?

However, Fang Senyan's ambitions were great at this time, and he had already decided to use the pyroelement bars as a stepping stone to knock on Prince Pombalu's door. So, as long as Lieutenant General Meng Ge didn't go too far, he would endure the loss.

However, Lieutenant General Meng Ge was not a short-sighted guy either. Because of the special status of contractors like Fang Senyan, even though pyroelement bars were useless to them, if pushed too hard, they could at least refuse to sell?

A stalemate would benefit no one. Moreover, once word got out that he had high-purity pyroelement bars, there would be too many people swarming over like flies to blood.

So, Lieutenant General Meng Ge was very frank with Fang Senyan, saying that the Nightmare Space often needed some strange things. These things were often specialties of a certain star field. With these specialties, they could exchange for different trading privileges from the Nightmare Space.

For example, the Andromeda Galaxy produced a plant called wen feng mu. If this plant was used to trade with the Nightmare Space, it could be exchanged for the contractor's free attribute point privilege! So, if Fang Senyan traded with the superiors in the Andromeda Galaxy, free attribute points would definitely be the main condition.

Another example was a rare metal called titanium silver in the star field under the command of the old Gold Star Admiral. This thing was also a required product of the Nightmare Space. Trading it could be exchanged for a new type of honor potion privilege, which could increase the maximum life by fifteen hundred points. So, the conditions offered by the old man and the others mainly consisted of new types of honor potions. Of course, there would be no free attribute points.

After listening to Lieutenant General Meng Ge's explanation, Fang Senyan expressed his understanding and asked Lieutenant General Meng Ge to offer his conditions.

Fang Senyan couldn't help but burst into anger when he saw them.

The first condition offered by Lieutenant General Meng Ge was similar to the old man's side:

a: Reduce the merit points required for the next promotion by 60%.

b: Make a high-level bloody equipment corresponding to the rank for Fang Senyan.

And then there was nothing! There was nothing below, not because it was unfinished, but because it was complete!

Seeing these two conditions, Fang Senyan thought to himself, are you really treating me like a sucker? So, he didn't speak, but looked at Lieutenant General Meng Ge with a cold, contemptuous gaze, hoping that he could give himself a reasonable explanation. Lieutenant General Meng Ge saw the forced smile on Fang Senyan's face and knew that there must be a misunderstanding, so he immediately said:

"It seems that Colonel, you don't know how rare high-level bloody equipment is. You must know that apart from the Big Ben Research Institute, there really isn't any other place that can come up with this kind of bargaining chip."

Fang Senyan snorted coldly and said:

"Is that so? But why did I hear that Ronnie's conditions included a clause for custom-made bloody weapons?"

Lieutenant General Meng Ge could only patiently explain:

"What you are referring to should be ordinary bloody equipment."

Fang Senyan asked curiously:

"Are there more advanced bloody equipment?"

Lieutenant General Meng Ge smiled wryly:

"Yes, you still seem to be a colonizer and haven't entered high-intensity battlefields, so it's no wonder you don't understand the secrets. Anyway, I'm not restricted by your Nightmare Space, so let me explain it simply to you."

"Bloody equipment is divided into two categories. After all, contractors serving as reserve officers make up the majority. The so-called scattered bloody equipment is aimed at this group. The prices of scattered bloody equipment range from cheap to expensive. Expensive scattered bloody equipment is not weak in attributes, but has obvious targeting attributes, such as a 50% reduction in attack power against non-contractors, and it is usually impossible to have top-level attributes. Therefore, it does not perform well in battles in parallel worlds. The threshold for purchase is not high either."

After listening to Lieutenant General Meng Ge's explanation, Fang Senyan immediately thought of the weapon, Unstoppable Force, that he had obtained after killing Zeus's right-hand man, Torre Hartnett. According to Zi, this weapon could only be exchanged for by contractors whose military rank had reached the general level. His heart stirred, and he vaguely understood what Lieutenant General Meng Ge would say next.

"In addition to scattered bloody equipment, there is, of course, standard equipment based on the military rank of regular officers. For example, a contractor major general will have equipment tailored for the contractor major general. The higher the military rank, the more powerful the bloody equipment obtained!"

At this point, Lieutenant General Meng Ge took a sip of water and continued:

"The bloody weapon tailored for Ronnie is actually just a particularly powerful piece of scattered bloody equipment. You can choose to add the top attributes of ordinary scattered bloody equipment to it. However, the high-level bloody equipment that we provide to you is powerful equipment that only your current military rank is qualified to possess. If you trade with us, you will obtain bloody equipment at the colonel level, which will have very powerful military rank attributes! And bloody equipment below the colonel level is impossible to obtain this attribute."

Fang Senyan thought for a while and frowned:

"It sounds pretty good."

At this time, he had roughly understood the difference between scattered bloody equipment and military rank bloody equipment. The former was like bandits, among whom there might be snipers, but they would never have airplanes and cannons. The latter was like a regular army, although the hierarchy was strict, the higher the level, the more powerful it would naturally be. With each promotion, there would often be unique abilities that the previous levels could not possess.

Fang Senyan immediately said:

"Then can I take a look at what kind of bloody equipment I can customize first?"

Lieutenant General Meng Ge nodded and said:

"Of course, wait a moment, I will connect to the Big Ben Research Institute and have them transmit the data."

Soon, Fang Senyan obtained the relevant transmission list. The first thing he glanced at made his heart beat wildly, because he saw a piece of equipment called "Bloody Colonel's Boots", and the first attribute of these boots was actually all attributes +15!!!
