VCRMM: Chapter 321

Longxi Star, the Kvia Empire.

This was a nation ranked 199th in the interstellar rankings. It barely made it into the top 200 and was slightly higher than the Bewatt Empire’s 210th ranking.

In the eyes of the big powers, the Kvia Empire was a weak nation and the gap between them was like the difference between heaven and earth.

But in the eyes of many nations outside the top 200, the comprehensive national strength of Kvia was something that would take them several generations to catch up on.

Under the constraints of the Interstellar Alliance, almost every nation with a bit of ambition was working hard to develop itself. Things like plundering resources could only be done in secret.

As long as they weren’t discovered and the plundered nations had no evidence, the Interstellar Alliance wouldn’t be able to sanction them.

This was also one of the reasons why the star thieves were able to continue thriving without being stopped.

What could be more convenient than dumping the blame on the star thieves?

As long as it was a pirate organization, they would have some degree of collusion with some nations. Both sides would mutually benefit. The only one who suffered was the plundered nation, such as the wealthy but weakly defended Sigta Star.

The Kvia Empire was one such nation.

They also took a steady and cautious approach in the beginning. Then after cooperating with the star thieves and tasting the sweetness, they embarked on a path of no return.

Now, their leader was jealous of the Roland Empire.

As a small nation ranked second to last in the interstellar rankings, it was able to obtain such good resources. It wasn’t just the latest mechas and warships developed by the Interstellar Alliance, but also various rare materials and quotas for purchasing resources.

The resource purchase quota was the real reward that made people turn red to the point of dripping blood.

Such good things from the Interstellar Alliance were limited in quantity, so it would be restricted.

For example, the previous Roland Empire didn’t even have spaceships on the procurement list. Adrian had to use other channels to help purchase them

The weaker the nation, the more difficult it was to develop.

However, there were always nations unwilling to be weak and liked to shift their problems to other civilizations in order to seek shortcuts.

“What type of nation is Roland?”

At a secret meeting, the leader of the Kvia Empire asked his ministers.

“Your Majesty, based on the interstellar ranking of the Roland Empire, the nation’s strength should be very weak. Perhaps it isn’t even one-tenth of ours.”

This was what General Frederick of Kvia said.

“Yes, according to the information we collected, a large number of interstellar beasts appeared on Escher Star where the Roland Empire is located.”

“Roland’s regime was too busy dealing with these strange beasts, which caused the nation to develop slowly. Since joining the Interstellar Alliance, its interstellar ranking had never moved forward.”

As for the nation ranked last, it couldn’t actually be considered a nation.

It was a planet where civilization had just been born. Its level of civilization was still at the primitive farming stage. Moreover, resources were extremely scarce. It was a nation that even the star thieves were too lazy to visit.

With this understanding, everyone knew what the situation would be like for Roland, who was ranked second from the bottom. Even the emperor of Kvia, who was always cautious, didn’t take it too seriously.

What was more troublesome was the Interstellar Alliance’s protection of this nation and…

“That Guardian is very strong.”

This was something Emperor Kvia had to admit.

“Even if he is strong, he is only one person,” General Frederick said.

“There can’t be many geniuses like that. The Roland Empire is already lucky to have one such genius.”

“I even suspect that he isn’t a native of Roland.”

No matter how hard they thought about it, they couldn’t figure out how a weak nation like Roland could cultivate such a genius with both strength and speed.

Oh, and his mental strength was so high that he could control others.

This required not only talent, but also acquired training. This in turn required a lot of resources.

“The only thing we need to worry about is not being caught by Roland and not accidentally destroying Roland, lest the Guardian retaliates later.”

Given the importance that the alliance placed on this Guardian, it could be imagined how much trouble would be caused if they were exposed.

Emperor Kvia nodded in agreement.

“It would be safer to let the star thieves do this,” General Frederick suggested.

“Yes, contact Clive to do it.”

Finally, Emperor Kvia made a decision. “We only need the resources that Roiand obtained in the Genius Competition, especially the mecha ‘Struggle for Hegemony.’ They can do whatever they want to with the rest.”

“As for the resource purchase quota… forget it. Let’s talk about it later.”

If he wasn’t mistaken, the Fox House should be an industry of the Roland Empire. This was another mouth-watering piece of cake.

It could be imagined that the Roland Empire must have a lot of cosmic coins right now.

It wasn’t that Emperor Kvia didn’t want it. However, any transfer of cosmic coins would leave traces. It was better to leave it to the Roland Empire. It wouldn’t be too late to snatch it after they purchased resources in the future.

In his eyes, the Roland Empire was like Sigta, a hen that kept laying eggs.

“As you command, Your Majesty.”

General Frederick received the order and contacted the Clive organization.

This was a star thieves organization secretly nurtured by their empire.

The senior leaders of the organization were basically all Kvia Empire people, but they were given fake identities. Even if they were caught, it would be difficult to trace the Kvia Empire back from them.

These people were basically die-hards. They wouldn’t betray the Kvia Empire even if they were caught. If they did betray, there was no evidence.

“According to the evidence we received, the Interstellar Alliance has sent a spaceship to the Roland Empire. It is expected to arrive in two months. You must complete this operation within these two months.”

“Understood. Leave it to us.”

Clive took on the task with ease.

It was because when he checked, he found that this nation was ranked 265th in the interstellar rankings. Everyone knew that there were only 266 nations in the Interstellar Alliance.

As the third largest star thief organization, wouldn’t it be easy to capture a small nation like Roland?

Of course, he didn’t act rashly. He did a more detailed investigation before making a plan.

Likely, he didn’t take the Guardian’s personal combat power too seriously.

Clive had five battleships and thousands of mechas. This was stronger than the average small nation.

For example, the Bewatt Empire had only three battleships.

Could a mortal Guardian deal with them if they came out in full force?

According to the statistics of the comprehensive national strength of the Interstellar Alliance. Roland had no battleships before this competition.

Even if the Interstellar Alliance gave them one now, how could a group of primitive people operate it without the relevant talents?

What made Clive feel tricky was the geographical environment of Escher Star.

This planet not only had strange beasts, but also a special magnetic field that could interfere with the navigation of battleships and spaceships. They might get lost if they entered rashly.

According to the internal records of the Interstellar Alliance that he had obtained, a spaceship suddenly lost its signal after entering the atmosphere of Escher Star and hadn’t been found to date.

Some people suspected it was intercepted by the Roland Empire, but that was basically impossible given the situation and technological strength of the Roland Empire at the time.

Later, the Interstellar Alliance made great efforts to open up a safe passage in the Roland Empire.

This wasn’t a secret. Reporters from the Interstellar Alliance had reported it in related news, but it hadn’t attracted much attention.

This safe passage was in the hands of the Interstellar Alliance. According to the confidentiality agreement, the Interstellar Alliance wouldn’t provide it to any other nation without the consent of the Roland Empire.

However, this wasn’t difficult for Clive.

What the Bewatt Empire found difficult to do in the past could now be accomplished by the third largest star thieves organization. It just required a bit more effort and money.

Around half a month later, Clive spent a huge price and finally got the information of the safe passage to the Roland Empire from a special channel.

The cost wasn’t small but it was nothing compared to the expected benefits.

During this period, Clive’s five battleships had set off one after another, secretly heading to the star field where the Roland Empire was located.

Everything was ready. Only the favorable information was missing.

Now that they had the information about the safe passage, they just had to reach Escher Star and they could successfully sneak into the Roland Empire.

To avoid any accidents, Clive’s army increased its speed again.

They didn’t take this battle seriously. After all, they came out in full force. As long as they sneaked in, wouldn’t a small nation like Roland be at their mercy?

It was even possible that Roland would become their captive nation.

“If we can capture one more battleship, our Clive will be the number one star thieves organization!”

On the battleship, Clive’s senior executives were chatting.

“That’s right. Ever since the Flaming Fox lost their base, they have been badly damaged and haven’t recovered yet. Who is so powerful that they destroyed the Flaming Fox’s base?”

“In addition Blood Dance was tricked by Flaming Fox. Later, they suffered heavy losses from a small nation.”

“Our two rivals are no match for us.”

“The resources we steal this time have to be sent back. So forget about that battleship.”

Hearing this, the one who spoke first shook his head and said nothing more.

After all, they also knew their identities.

But sometimes, once they got used to being a star thief, they felt it was better to be a star thief forever. They could just grab any resources they wanted and live a free and easy life without relying on the Interstellar Alliance.

Of course, this was just an occasional thought. After all, without the support of the Kvia Empire behind them, it would be difficult for them to develop so fast.

Around half a month later, the five battleships entered the star field where the Roland Empire was located and approached Escher Star at full speed.

However, these star thieves didn’t realize that when they obtained the information about Roland’s safe passage, Xu Sili also received the news at the same time.

Everything about the Roland Empire was a priority for Xiao Wu.

So when he discovered that someone was secretly retrieving the information of the Roland Empire’s safe passage, it secretly tampered with the information and discovered the Clive organization through tracking and surveillance.

Of course, they also had a series of plans in place against the Roland Empire.

Xiao Wu wasn’t panicked and was even vaguely excited.

However, he didn’t act on his own. He reported it to Xu Sili as soon as possible.

Xu Sili hadn’t expected the crisis to come so early.

He learned about Clive’s strength and thought about it carefully before finally deciding not to alert the enemy.

After all, what was coming would eventually come. It was time to show the world the strength of the Roland Empire.
