Zhang Xin and Xuanyuan had a very happy conversation, and he was generally satisfied with this person's initiative to take refuge.

The Thunderhammer Mercenary Regiment is not an unknown person, but a super-large armed group with 3,700 warships and 1 million combatants. The mercenary business covers seven star fields, with an annual profit of 5.9 billion federal coins. Such a volume was even enough to compete with the Shenwei Zhang clan before his arrival.

If it weren't for the mercenary group's special management structure, they would be destined to be a multi-headed system. Otherwise, Xuanyuan Blood could completely transform into a new large consortium through this mercenary group.

Being able to reach an all-weather strategic partnership with such a force is undoubtedly more beneficial to the situation in Yingzhou and the stability of the Weiyan Group.

The reason why Zhang Xin hesitated before was only because of the decision of the head of the Thunder Hammer, which was simply upside down. But since the other party bluntly said that it was to hug his thighs, Zhang Xin had nothing to hesitate, and immediately reached a verbal intention with Xuanyuan Blood.

As for the specific agreement, it will still have to be carefully negotiated by the people below, and it is expected that this process will take at least a month to complete. The alliance between two great forces is by no means a simple matter.

After the talks, Zhang Xin directly invited Xuanyuan Blood to stay temporarily in his shipboard palace, and the latter readily agreed.

It's just that when Cheryl went to the guest room with Xuanyuan Blood, her expression was so weird.

"Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?"

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Blood couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Is it strange?" In front of this employer of yours, I would bow my head so close to my ears, and I don't deserve the name of the arrogant bone sword saint. ”

"I'm weird. ”

Cheryl bowed slightly: "This is not like you as rumored. It is said that seventy years ago, even in the face of the Shenwu Liu Clan, you never backed down. ”

"It's not surprising that 70 years ago and 70 years later, the situation was very different. ”

Xuanyuan Blood sighed slightly: "In the face of a great powerhouse like your employer, our pride is useless and unnecessary. In his eyes, everything about you is as humble as an ant. Who cares about the dignity of ants?"

"Great powerhouse—"

Cheryl took a deep breath, thinking to herself that she would eventually have to face this fact,

"Your Excellency, in your eyes, is it strong enough to be worthy of the word great?"

"That's right!"

Xuanyuan replied without hesitation, his eyes were complicated: "I think that in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Earth Federation, your employer's achievements are unique. Even later, few people have been able to reach the level he did. If your chairman can defeat his opponent, then he is destined to be a great man in this star field, and his name will surely be a glory beyond the Earth Federation. ”

After saying this, Xuanyuan smiled at Cheryl again: "Unparalleled strength, talent in the mall, and attention and respect for your brother, I think this is the reason why your brother is convinced and willing to serve him." ”

"I see—"

Cheryl's expression at this time was also indescribable. She felt both shocked and faintly in her heart, thinking that what Xuanyuan Blood said was taken for granted.

And then Cheryl looked in the direction of Zhang Changzhi's master bedroom. She thought to herself, how could it be her own brother who had been subdued by the King of Divine Power?

- This is the first person to separate her from her brother Al and treat her as a separate individual, and to value her with great appreciation.

The so-called death of a confidant, just by virtue of this, that highness has enough qualifications to gain her loyalty from Cheryl Wilron.

When the 3rd Temporary Preservation Fleet set sail from the No. 4 dock of the Divine Court Star, two groups of warships came to converge nearby.

It was the Bright Mercenary Regiment and the Dragonbone Mercenary Regiment, each with about 400 warships, like a zigzag, guarding the battleship group of the Third Temporary Preservation Fleet.

After that, the great fleet began to sail at warp speed. After four consecutive times, spanning 3,700 light years, the escort fleet under Zhang Xin's command has swelled to 2,500 warships. Along the way, large and small mercenary groups have joined in one after another, a total of six, all of which are well-known medium-sized mercenary groups in the Guangcheng Star Domain.

At this time, even Xuanyuan Blood was full of emotion. The chairman of the Weiyan Group is really willing to invest, and if he doesn't make a move, he will be a thunderbolt.

——With such a large-scale fleet, it is clear that it wants to make a final decision in the strategic battle in the direction of Yingzhou!

Then after arriving at the border, the 1,000 warships of the Thunderhammer Mercenary Regiment also arrived as scheduled. And the person in command of this standard squadron-level armed force is none other than Frederick Diamond, the chief of staff of the Thunderhammer Mercenary Regiment!

"What a surprise that you're going to come here in person?"

In the luxurious room of the Shenwei, Xuanyuan Blood looked bored at the projection video in front of him.

"But what should I do over there in Hengdong Fortress?

"Caderola he has returned, the security of the headquarters, don't worry for the time being. ”

Frederick Diamond snorted coldly and looked at this side with dissatisfiedness: "If I don't come here in person, I don't know that the head of the regiment has sold us, and it is a discount." ”

"Hmm~ I knew you would say this. ”

Xuanyuan Blood was calm and composed, with a disapproving look: "Frederick, you know, I, Xuanyuan Blood, have never done a loss-making business. ”

"It's because I know that I haven't scolded you to the point of bloody blood. ”

Frederick's expression was solemn: "Let's talk about it, what did you find on Zhang Changzhi's side? Or what kind of soup did you pour into you, and made you make such a decision?"

"I'm sorry, but due to my promise to the new King of Kamui, I can't tell you the details of why I'm doing this for the time being. ”

At this time, Xuanyuan Blood's tone was also rarely serious: "I can only say that if it were you, under the circumstances at that time, you would have made the same choice." And in ten years at most, you will be grateful for this covenant today, which will benefit all of us in the Thunderhammer Mercenary Regiment!"

"It's really getting more and more curious, what kind of surprise is there about this Changzhi, how can you say such a thing. I want to know—"

Frederick tried to say something, but in the end he didn't get to the bottom of it: "Then you should know the captain of the regiment, right? The consequences of this covenant? How can you convince me to be with the senior partners?"

"Do you mean our mercenary group, the business in the major star fields?"

Xuanyuan Blood laughed: "It is expected that once we and the Weiyan Group determine an all-weather strategic partnership, then the chaebol groups in the various star regions will naturally be wary of our mercenary group, and the significant reduction in business volume and profits in a short period of time is predictable." However, the escort business on the side of Yingzhou Star Domain should be able to make up for our losses to a large extent. In the long run, this will only make the forces of the various star fields more eager for the power of our Thunder Hammer. ”

Frederick did not speak, but looked like he was willing to hear and listen.

Xuanyuan Blood's explanations couldn't convince him.
