The moment the star thief told all the information he knew, the barrage of comments in Super Invincible Commander’s live broadcast room actually stopped scrolling. The screen was briefly blank.
Suddenly, there was another explosion.
[???]
[What the? A space war?]
[What type of awesome prelude is this? Or… has the plot already reached the final stage???]
[Can anyone tell me what the star thieves organization is? Does Roland have such a thing?]
[There are also battleships! Mechas! I have never seen them in Roland!]
[There are mechas. They seem to be in Roland’s Imperial Research Institute. However, judging from the leaked videos, they are probably still in the development stage.]
[Yes, the big shots all guessed that this should be the content of the next version of the game.]
[Why is Roland, such a weak and backward nation, facing such an evil interstellar force at this stage? Is our novice planet going to be lost?]
[How is this possible? We are the fourth natural disaster that can be resurrected infinitely! What are a few battleships and mechas?]
[A mecha is dozens of meters tall and can crush a person with one step. This is something that a mortal body can’t resist, right?]
In the live broadcast room, there was a large argument over whether elementalists could fight against mechas or not.
In the end, the majority of people believed that they couldn’t compete.
The mechas were equipped with various new weapons and no one would be able to withstand the bombardment. In addition to the mechas, the opponent had battleships that were more difficult to deal with.
Several players, who followed Val Roland on her mission, posted the information about interstellar battleships they collected directly on the forum.
Interstellar battleships were one of the standards for measuring a nation’s strength. The Bewatt Empire, whose technology was many times more advanced than Roland’s, only had three.
It was obvious that the pirates’ battleships would definitely be more advanced and difficult to deal with.
For a time, pessimism and anxiety spread through the forum.
[What is up with the NPCs in Starry Sky Age? Do they like to go through the plotline without the players knowing? This time, they are going to do something so big!]
[Gather, gather, gather!]
[Those on Bewatt Star, hurry back. In addition, those on the seabed and in the Sprite World, return to Roland to defend!]
All the major mercenary groups had started to prepare for war, but they had no clear information and hadn’t received any specific tasks. Therefore, everyone was in a panic for a while.
[Assemble! Protect Roland!]
[We will have no way out once Roland is lost!]
[The enemy is from space. How can we defend on land? Roland only has a few shuttles. We can’t defeat them.]
[Don’t forget, we have millions of elementalists.]
[Yes! Let these pirates have a taste of the power of magic!]
There were many different opinions and a lot of noise on the forum.
As for scolding the planners, this had already become a traditional skill.
[What if the words of the star thief are false? The server has only been opened for a year. There is no way players can handle this type of crisis at this stage. If this is true, the planner is too stupid, right?]
[F*k, why does a casual infrastructure game like Starry Sky Age have a star wars game? Are the planners crazy?]
[???]
[Is Starry Sky Age actually a casual infrastructure game?]
It had to be said that the proportion of players who played Starry Sky Age was really large. It was to the point where people had a wrong understanding of the game. It seriously deviated from the original ideas of the planners.
Even if they weren’t life players in the beginning, they would be guided imperceptibly for a long time and would eventually become a good life player.
As for fighting…
How could killing monsters and advancing maps be considered fighting?
However, the sudden crisis finally awakened the fighting spirit of the players.
There was anxiety and worry, but most people were still excited.
It was finally time for a war!
Super Invincible Commander finally fulfilled the promise and released the star thief. Then…
After the star thief escaped for hundreds of meters, he was captured again.
The expression of the star thief was really exciting.
In the end, the star thief was sent to prison. Then Super Invincible Commander tried to find a way to convey a message to the imperial family of the Sigta Empire.
Of course, the Roland players who watched the live broadcast were already trying to report the news to the Roland Empire, but…
The emperor of Sigta didn’t know.
Therefore, this didn’t prevent him from getting the rewards he deserved.
After more than a year, the leaders of the major mercenary groups had already built up a certain network of contacts in Roland. It wasn’t difficult to report the news to the top management of Roland.
So before long, Xu Sili received news from various ministers that the evil interstellar forces were preparing to attack Roland. Even Silin ran back to report to him in person.
The call for the braves to go into battle were so loud that they were almost unstoppable.
He really didn’t expect the players to be so well-informed.
Xu Sili finished pacifying Silin and finally received news from Emperor Sigta.
It was only then that he roughly understood from which channel the players got the news.
A few days later, even Aunt Val, who was far away on another planet, sent back a worried message and told him that she had asked for help from allies.
Xu Sili knew that Roland could handle it but he was still quite touched.
Among the five nations with which they had established diplomatic relations, three were willing to send troops to help.
As for the remaining two, they were too behind and were unable to do anything. But they also said that if there was any other need, they would do their best to help.
It had to be said that Aunt Val had good vision. The nations she made alliances with were all very loyal. In fact, reinforcements from one nation had already been dispatched.
Xu Sili didn’t reject their kindness.
If they really fulfilled their promise to send troops, Roland could naturally give them more trust.
It was easy to add icing on the cake, but it was hard to provide help in times of need.
At least on the surface, the current Roland Empire was at an absolute disadvantage. Perhaps only the Sigta Empire knew that the Roland Empire’s military level was quite good.
It was just that the emperor of Sigta wasn’t very optimistic about this battle.
It was because the opponent was the third largest star thief organization that was feared by everyone, with five battleships and thousands of advanced mechas.
These star thieves were veterans of hundreds of battles. Each of them was a wanted criminal in the interstellar space. They were experienced in combat and their methods were extremely cruel.
Now they had come out in full force, and their ambitions could be imagined.
This time, the Roland Empire might not get any good results.
Aunt Val had a certain understanding of Roland’s strength, but she still couldn’t help worrying.
This was the first time that the Roland Empire had come into direct battle with an alien force. Intellectually, she felt that she should trust Xu Sili and Si Sheng, but emotionally, she found it difficult to convince herself.
“Your Majesty, I want to go back to Roland!” Aunt Val said to Xu Sili through the communication.
Xu Sili shook his head.
“It is too late now. If you are worried about Roland getting into trouble, you shouldn’t come back.”
If something really happened to the Roland Empire, Aunt Val and Joan, who were out in the universe, were the last spark of hope.
At this time, it would be more appropriate for them to stay outside.
“You don’t have to worry too much.”
Xu Sili said, “Please believe in our soldiers and the braves from another world. They will help us protect the Roland Empire.”
Speaking of the braves from another world, Aunt Val talked about several players on the spaceship.
They were probably the earliest group of players to come into contact with the universe besides Super Invincible Commander. However, they spent most of their time on the spaceship and didn’t have as much freedom as Super Invincible Commander.
Now hearing that the Roland Empire was in trouble, they took the initiative to request to return to their nation to protect it. They were very eager to do so.
It was very simple if players wanted to return home. They just needed to die and return to the city.
The reason why they asked for instructions was probably because they had a mission to complete and was worried that returning directly would result in a mission failure.
Xu Sili rejected them.
After all, compared to the Roland Empire, it was actually more dangerous than Aunt Val and Joan to walk around outside. He would feel more at ease with the protection of players.
Xu Sili ignored the players’ wailing and ended the call.
He wasn’t worried that the players would run back directly. It was because in this case, the cost of silencing would be too high and it would obviously not be cost-effective.
After comforting Aunt Val, Xu Sili turned around and contacted Adrian again.
The Interstellar Alliance’s delegation was already on the way, and Adrian was among them. After receiving Xu Sili’s message, he naturally took it very seriously. He hurriedly ended the call and went to discuss it with the person in charge of the delegation.
According to Xu Sili’s idea, the technology mastered by the Interstellar Alliance meant that there should be a way to speed up their arrival, right?
Of course, it wasn’t a big problem if they couldn’t catch up.
The show was about to begin. How could there be no audience? This delegation should include talents from many nations.
After all, this was the only legitimate reason at present to enter the Roland Empire. The Guardian was very popular.
Thinking of this, Xu Sili couldn’t help glancing at Si Sheng.
Si Sheng was a bit confused. He blinked and asked, “Ah Li?”
Xu Sili looked at him and suddenly asked, “Ah Sheng, do you think Roland’s world is too small for you?”
In the future forum, Si Sheng was a being who could destroy a planet with one sword. These legends generally only appeared after he rebelled against the Roland Empire…
Based on Si Sheng’s strength, he shouldn’t be loyal to the Roland Empire.
Si Sheng thought about it and asked him, “Ah Li, did I do something wrong?”
“Huh?”
“Are you trying to drive me away?”
Looking at his pitiful eyes, Xu Sili suddenly felt that he was worrying too much.
“I don’t want to chase you away. I’m just asking casually,” he said. “In the future, there will probably be many nations that want to poach you from the Roland Empire.”
“Wherever you are, I will be there.”
Si Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly. “If any nation dares to use tricks against you, I will make them regret coming to this world.”
Xu Sili observed a second of silence for those nations. Then he called up the mission editor and started working.
Originally, he hadn’t thought of letting players participate in this battle. After all, the Roland Empire didn’t have many spaceships and it would be quite troublesome to send them into space.
But when thinking about it carefully, the last time such a large-scale activity happened was when they were resisting the beast wave.
Now that they knew about it and were so enthusiastic, he might as well plan a large-scale team-building activity. It wasn’t the first time anyway.
The star thieves gave this equipment for free. Why not take it?
