Chapter 557: Sectarian Dispute

When the Alliance showed signs of planning to attack Heyang VIII, the Alfonzo sect's contacts had already been connected to the Alliance.

To be honest, the Alliance and the Alfonzo sect have always been in contact.

The Alliance has sent many diplomatic envoys outward, all of whom are in Iron Rage Stone, and Alfonzo is no exception.

However, before this, the communication between the two sides was dull and they never discussed anything important, useful or core.

There is actually nothing much to talk about between the two sides.

It was not until the Alliance began to actively attack the Proud Claw Starfield that the Alfonzo sect began to summon the Alliance ambassador more and more frequently.

Until now, when the Alliance came to Heyang VIII, a sage of the Alfonzo sect, riding a small boat, blocked the way of the Alliance fleet.

This master sage named Todd Paulson claimed that he could fully represent the Alfonzo sect in all matters in the Proud Claw star field, and was very sincere in having an in-depth exchange with the Alliance to resolve the conflict in the Proud Claw star field.

That was a nice statement. Gu Hang took into consideration the identity of the man in question. He was a sage of the main occupation after all, and must be considered a high-ranking figure in Alfonzo's sect, so he could give him some face.

But it is still impossible to stop the alliance fleet alone.

They could talk, and while they were talking, the fleet continued to sail towards Heyang VIII.

Even after Sage Paulson boarded the Alliance's ship, he didn't even see Gu Hang. It was only an Alliance diplomat who communicated with him.

Paulson has always emphasized that the Alfonzo Sect and the Iron Armor Legion are not allies; the Alfonzo Sect has always been firm under the banner of the great God of All Machines; the Alfonzo Sect and the Alliance are by no means hostile.

The alliance did not object to these statements.

There was even no evidence of the so-called collusion between the Alfonzo sect and the Iron Fury Stone thrown in Paulson's face.

That doesn't make any sense. Paulson can lie with his eyes open and claim it's fake news.

There is no point in arguing about right or wrong. If you say you are loyal, then do something truly loyal.

The alliance made the conditions clear:
Heyang VIII must fully obey the arrangements of the Alliance; the armed forces on Heyang VIII must assemble, accept the command of the Alliance, and participate in this war; all ships with the emblem of the Alfonzo sect stationed on Heyang VIII must accept the conscription of the Alliance, join the Alliance fleet, and obey the assignment.

If you meet these conditions, the Alliance will certainly consider you loyal, and will acknowledge that the Alfonzo Cult is an ally of the Alliance and a comrade-in-arms standing together on the "Anti-Iron Armor Front".

When it comes to this, Paulson hesitated.

He could only emphasize that Heyang VIII also needed defense arrangements; the core interests of the Alfonzo sect, that is, the 'Alfonzo Star Region', were right behind the Princess Star Region. More than four hundred worlds were full of auxiliary legions of the Iron Armored Corps and naval garrisons. The entire sect was in a state of being held at the neck by the Iron Armored Corps' knife. It was really willing to kill the enemy, but powerless to turn the tide.

As the talks went on, the alliance lowered its requirements.

The Alliance could even accept that the Alfonzo Cult would withdraw all military forces from Heyang VIII and take away all the fleets stationed at the starport.

The Alliance wants this planet to ensure that when they turn around and announce that the entire Proud Claw Star Domain has been conquered and need to fully deploy defenses against the enemy's possible invasion from the south of the Nepeta Star Domain, there won't be a big bomb exploded behind them.

This is already a very sincere condition.

However, Paulson is still avoiding the issue.

They say that Heyang VIII is the hometown of the knights. The so-called armed forces, that is, the knights, are actually the local aborigines; they say that the "Third Order of Alfonzo", that is, the "Knights of Heyang", are loyal to the sect, so why would the sect migrate all the loyalists away from their hometown?
But for the league, if they still don’t accept this, then let’s fight.

The alliance is determined to take down Heyang VIII.

Paulson, in desperation, even threatened: "Are you trying to turn the Alfonzo sect against you?"

"Can your so-called alliance really shoulder this responsibility?"

After hearing these words, Gu Hang just chuckled and asked the alliance's receptionist to reply to Paulson:

"Loyalty to the God-Emperor is unconditional."

"Whether the Alfonzo sect rebelled or not, and whether it would rebel or not, never depended on me or anyone else, but was a fact."

After conveying Mr. Gu's opinions, the alliance's diplomats once again made it clear that the alliance's bottom line is unshakable.

He Yang VIII, Alfonzo must let go.

Paulson couldn't agree to this, so he claimed that he wanted to leave and return to Heyang VIII to discuss matters with the "Heyang Knights".

The alliance didn't let anyone go.

There are star language facilities on the ship, you can make use of them to communicate.

As a result, the next day, the servant found the sage "dead" in Paulson's room.

But soon, after disassembling the body, it was discovered that this was a "dummy" with a completely mechanical structure.

Paulson didn't even show up in person from the beginning, he was already prepared.

Even after the Alliance seized the spaceship carrying the dummy's body, Paulson was not found inside.

After the alliance's technical staff and consultants from the Ming Yang sect dissected the "corpse", they believed that Paulson's real body might not be in this galaxy at all.

The ruling bishop of the Ming Yang sect excitedly believed that this was a technology that allowed a person to control a mechanical body across an unknown distance of light years. It was an unconventional lost technology, and he made a formal request to the alliance.

If a formal war is declared with the Alfonzo sect later, the captured equipment, captured personnel, and acquired technology of the Alfonzo sect must be handed over to the Mingyang sect.

The Ming Yang Sect didn't take it for free, aren't we all allies? These can all be counted as money!

If the technology analyzed by the Ming Yang Sect can be put into mass production or some products can be produced, they can be provided to the alliance for use.

This is the most typical cooperation model between the Mechanicus and other forces.

In the past, the Ming Yang sect was not so willing to cooperate with the alliance in this way.

To put it bluntly, I still look down on the alliance.

However, things have been different since the alliance took out the black box.

With Wu Jiarong's internal efforts, the Mingyang Sect quickly adjusted its attitude toward the alliance and began to seriously regard the alliance as a good partner.

With this in mind, the Ming Yang Sect would be very happy if there was a chance to attack the Alfonzo Sect.

The Alfonzo sect is much more powerful than the Ming Yang sect, which means that there is a large amount of Mechanicus background that the Ming Yang sect can obtain.

To this end, the ruling bishop of the Ming Yang sect also hinted that if necessary, the sect could send a fleet and a Titan legion.
