EVE: Starting with a Space Station

A week later, at the border of the Eastern Star Region.

"Cormac Wagga, how long will it take to reach the destination?"

This week's voyage almost made Shi Man vomit.

At first, the ever-changing starry sky still interested him, and he looked at it with curiosity every day, but after a week of watching it, he now only felt bored.

If this continues, he will collapse.

Cormac Wagga glanced at the star map, calculated a little, and replied to Shi Man very respectfully: "My Lord, we will enter the Eastern Star Region in about three hours."

Only three hours?

Shi Man breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

Looking at Shi Man who had calmed down a little, Cormac Wagga continued to ask: "My Lord, when we enter the Eastern Star Region, what do you think we should do?"

In other words, are you ready to gain a foothold in this Eastern Star Region?

In response, Shi Man said without hesitation: "Let's go to the 'Pearl of the Orient' first, and then make plans later!"

In the past week, he has gained some understanding of the situation in the Eastern Star Region.

Although there are countless forces in the Eastern Star Region, there are three overlord-level forces.

The first is the [Northern Military Alliance] that controls the five northern star regions. This is an organization established by the various legion forces in the five northern star regions to achieve joint defense cooperation. Among them, the [Myth Legion] is the leader, with 27 internal members, and the military strength is very strong. It is also the strongest force in the entire Eastern Star Region!

Its current leader is the commander of the [Myth Legion]: Gracie Adam.

The second is the El Alliance that controls the Aisha Star Region and the Ellis Star Region. It is a military alliance headed by the [Eternal Legion] to block the edge of the Northern Military Alliance. There are 16 member forces, and the leader is the commander of the [Eternal Legion]: Godwin Borg.

The third one is the [Eastern Business Union] which controls the two major star regions in the east. At the beginning of its establishment, it was simply a pure business organization. Later, in order to cope with the increasingly tense war in the eastern star region, it gradually became an organization integrating business and military. Its members include 18 forces, headed by the [Crimson Dawn Legion].

The leader is the commander of the [Crimson Dawn Legion]: Hurt Rupert;

The three organizations have had various frictions almost every day for decades, and various small-scale battles have emerged one after another. Even they themselves can't figure out the grievances between the three.

In addition to these three powerful alliance organizations, there are dozens of other alliances of all sizes that divide and occupy other star regions, and there are countless pirate mercenary groups with varying strengths.

Simply put, this eastern star region can only be described in two words: chaos!

But in this chaos there is also an order, that is, the Oriental Pearl Galaxy located in the Eastern Region.

This galaxy is located in the center of the Eastern Star Region. Its unique geographical location makes it the economic center of the Eastern Star Region. It can also be regarded as the only pure land in the entire Eastern Star Region.

And this is the sales point of goods of various forces and even foreign caravans. It is also a well-known place for selling stolen goods.

Because this galaxy is mixed with the interests of the entire Eastern Star Region and even other regional forces, even if many forces have ideas about it, they can only give up. After all, the grass on the grave of the last self-reliant force who wanted to monopolize it has been cut several times.

So now that Shi Man and others have come out, this "Pearl of the Orient" is undoubtedly a good temporary settlement.

"Yes, my Lord!"

Seeing that Shi Man was well prepared, Cormac Wagga was relieved.

A few hours later, in an entertainment venue in the Oriental Pearl Star City.

Shi Man and his five people walked into it and found a place to sit down.

Because of the intimidating figures of Cormack Wagga and others, everyone couldn't help but look at them sideways, and some women with coquettish faces and bold clothes couldn't help but have their eyes shining.

However, due to the specially modified Gauss machine gun on Cormack Wagga's back and the laser knife hanging on his waist, everyone couldn't help but stop.

Because Shi Man didn't like drinking, he ordered a glass of juice and sat in his seat watching the people dancing wildly in the middle of the dance floor, and his mood was relaxed in the rhythmic music.

As for Cormack Wagga and others, they sat around Shi Man. Although they were drinking, they always paid attention to the surrounding situation, and their weapons were placed in the best position so that they could react at any time if something abnormal happened.

As for this alcohol, for them, it was just a liquid with a good taste, which had no effect on them at all.

Because there were many people like Shi Man who came with bodyguards, everyone's attention was soon focused on the rhythm of the dance.

After drinking a few glasses of juice, Shi Man winked at Cormack Wagga, who nodded and walked out of his seat.

After a while, Cormac Wagga came back with a tall and slender young man who looked like a pretty boy.

The young man looked at the position and quickly came to Shi Man with great discernment. He bowed with a smile and said:

"I am Wenshu Bai, the boss of this club. Is there anything I can help you with?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Man threw a card on the table and said calmly:

"I just came here and want to make a living with my brothers. Does Boss Wen have any good suggestions?"

Looking at the card on the table, Wenshu Bai's eyebrows moved, and his heart was suddenly hot. While putting the card in his pocket, he asked with a smile:

"What is your name, and what kind of business do you want to do?"

"Just call me Mr. Shi. I have a fleet under my command. What business do you think I should do?"

Shi Man shook the blood-red juice in the wine glass and looked at Wenshu Bai with a playful look.

Hearing this, Wenshu Bai's face immediately understood.

It's just pirates or mercenaries!

Hearing this, Wenshu Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pressed a button in the terminal, and then an energy shield rose around their position.

Looking at the four burly men who had already grasped their weapons and looked at him with unfriendly faces, Wenshu Bai hurriedly explained:

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is an energy shield used to isolate detection and sound, and it has no defensive power. If you don't believe it, you can try it!"

Shi Man did not speak, but nodded to Cormack Waga. Cormack Waga slowly stretched his arm towards the energy shield. The energy shield had no defensive power at all, and Cormack Waga's hand stretched out very easily.

After detecting the energy shield through the computer in his body, Cormack Waga nodded to Shi Man, indicating that there was no problem with the energy shield.

After confirming that there was no problem with the energy shield, Shi Man chuckled and apologized to Wenshu Bai.

"Boss Wen, I'm very sorry. My subordinates don't know the rules and frightened you."

Seeing this, Wenshu Bai waved his hands repeatedly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his head, saying:

"It's okay, it's your duty. It's my fault for not telling you in advance."

Although Wenshu Bai is also a figure in the Pearl of the East, that is only compared with his peers. Compared with these desperate criminals, he doesn't think he can have any status in front of these people.

The two talked for a while, sweeping away the tense atmosphere just now.

Then, Wenshu Bai turned the topic back.

"Mr. Shi, if I guess correctly, you brought your fleet here to find a way to gain a foothold in this Eastern Star Region, right?"

Shi Man was not surprised by this, after all, he deliberately exposed it.

"I have this idea. I have offended some people outside who I shouldn't have offended, and now I can only come here to find a way out."

Shi Man said half-truthfully.

After hearing what Shi Man said, Wen Shubai narrowed his eyes slightly and said his purpose.

"Then Mr. Shi, do you know the current situation in the Eastern Star Region?"

"I know something, but not much. Please tell me in detail, Mr. Wen. I would like to hear the details."

Although Shi Man knew about the general situation in the Eastern Star Region, his understanding was very one-sided, so it was not wrong to ask more.

Sure enough, after seeing Shi Man's performance, Wen Shubai was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly said:

"Mr. Shi, you may not know that the El Alliance and the Eastern Commercial Federation have joined forces and launched a large-scale military attack on the Kelson Star Region and Buweiden Star Region of the Northern Alliance three days ago..."

After Wen Shubai's narration, Shi Man also had some understanding of the current situation.

Generally speaking, the El Alliance and the Eastern Commercial Federation completed their cooperation at some point, and raided the Kelson Star Region and Buweiden Star Region controlled by the Northern Alliance three days ago and launched a large-scale attack.

Moreover, this time, the Eastern Commercial Union attacked the Kelson Star Region, while the fleet of the Aiel Alliance invaded the Buviden Star Region to conduct raids and harassment, delaying the support of the Northern Alliance.

At present, the fleet of the Eastern Commercial Union has occupied one-third of the territory of the Kelson Star Region in just three days. Faced with the absolute superiority of the Eastern Commercial Union, the fleet of the Northern Alliance in the Kelson Star Region retreated step by step.

In order to support the Kelson Star Region, the Northern Alliance immediately organized several fleets to support it, but they were all intercepted by the Aiel Alliance in the Buviden Star Region. Before they arrived to support, they had already suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, in the face of the cooperation of the two major alliances, the Northern Alliance immediately began to mobilize for war, intending to open up the channel from the Buviden Star Region to the Kelson Star Region. At present, the fleet of the Northern Alliance is really gathering from various star regions to the Buviden Star Region. At present, the assembled fleet has broken through fifteen fleets, and there are still a steady stream of fleets coming.

This also made the El Alliance, which originally only wanted to play a supporting role and contain the Northern Alliance fleet to buy time for the Eastern Commercial Union to occupy the Kelson star field, feel that things were out of control and was ready to withdraw from the battle. It also suggested that the Eastern Commercial Union should stop while it was ahead.

But seeing that it only took a little time to complete the occupation of the entire Kelson star field, how could the Eastern Commercial Union, which had rich mining resources in its hands, be willing to send 15 fleets to the Buweiden star field to intercept, and promised the El Alliance a huge profit to let it intercept the Northern Alliance fleet together.

Although the outside world is not clear about what the Eastern Commercial Union promised to the El Alliance, the El Alliance has also begun a large-scale fleet mobilization and assembly, and is currently stationed on the border of the Buweiden star field.

Now everyone is watching the development of the situation, hoping to get a share of it.

Shi Man looked at the young man who was talking slowly in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss Wen has said so much, it should not be just to popularize the current situation to me, right?"

Wen Shubai did not deny it, but said very straightforwardly: "To be honest with you, Mr. Shi, because the fleet of the Northern Alliance is under too much pressure, the El Alliance and the Eastern Commercial Union are now urgently hiring pirate groups and mercenary groups from all parties.

And because of the special nature of my industry in this Pearl of the Orient, I am also entrusted by the Eastern Commercial Union to find a powerful force to jointly resist the Northern Alliance. Of course, the price will definitely satisfy you!"

Shi Man only believed half of what Wen Shubai said.

Maybe Wen Shubai was really entrusted by the Eastern Commercial Union, but he was just looking for cannon fodder. As for the high reward, as long as the people are gone, who will the reward be given to?

This is also a common thing in this Eastern Star Region, so generally the old people who have been in this area for a little longer know this, so now they are still watching, instead of directly intervening and facing a place where they will die without a burial place.

So when he knew that Shi Man and others had just arrived here, Wen Shubai was so excited. After all, this kind of young man is much easier to fool than those old-timers!

As expected, Shi Man looked at Wen Shubai and said lightly:

"Can you hire me on behalf of the Eastern Commercial Union?"

Seeing that Shi Man was interested, Wen Shubai immediately patted his chest and said: "Don't worry about this, I also have some status in the Eastern Commercial Union!"

Shi Man looked at Wen Shubai who was full of confidence, stood up slightly, supported his hands on the table, and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "The hiring price of my Tianshe Group is not low, I'm afraid you can't make the decision!"

"How much, just tell me the number!"

The Eastern Commercial Union gave him a lot of autonomy, and he didn't think that Shi Man and others could really survive the battlefield, so Wen Shubai was very confident about this.

Shi Man smiled and immediately said with a big mouth: "I don't want money, I just want two star systems as a foothold!"

"······"

Hearing this, Wen Shubai's smile froze, this was beyond his rights.

Even though he knew that Shi Man and others would not be able to come back alive, he still did not dare to make a promise, and then he had to call the leader of the Eastern Business Union.

After hearing Wen Shubai tell the whole story, Hutt Rupert immediately said nonchalantly: "Tell them that as long as they obey the command, when the battle is over, regardless of success or failure, the two star systems will be handed over to them!"

After hanging up the call, Hutt Rupert shook his head and lamented the big mouths of the mercenaries now.

Then his eyes were fixed on a small dot on the star map, his eyes full of solemnity!

"But don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you want to get the rewards of two star systems, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

Buweiden Star Region, 11ST Star System, the most important channel from Buweiden Star Region to Kelsen Star Region, and also the most important transportation and supply line in Kelsen Star Region!

Thank you all for your rewards and encouragement in the past few days. I would like to express my gratitude here! Thank you!
