Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating! Chapter 253

Chapter 253: Chapter 247: Find a New Backer

“Abandon your current mission and return to the kingdom immediately; dimensional creatures have appeared here again.” A creature that looked somewhat like a seahorse appeared on the communication channel, clearly a Yodora person. The seriousness in the conveyed voice was evident, “and the number is even greater, likely due to an oversight in your previous mission.”

It must be said that there are a great many non-humanoid species in this universe.

Some experts speculate that this is very likely related to the presence of Ancient Gods.

Ancient Gods themselves are genuine non-humans, their appearance and cognitive abilities completely different from humans. Under the influence of the Ancient Gods, the emergence of many non-human intelligent life forms is quite normal.

Confronted with the statement of the Yodora official, Gong Man walked up with a helpless expression on his face.

“Honored Prince Bent,” he evidently recognized the other, then pointed to the bracelet on his neck, “As you can see, I have been captured. You should not have sent me to investigate this powerful civilization.”

“…” Prince named Bent obviously hadn't anticipated this situation.

His gaze finally settled on the beings standing to the left and right of Gong.

Previously he had thought them Gong's subordinates, but now it was clear these two were Gong's guards.

The civilization that suddenly appeared near their Yodora Kingdom was so powerful?

He was well aware of the strength of the Black Silver Mercenary Group!

The others were manageable, but the leader of the Black Silver Mercenary Group, Gong, possessed at least the perception ability of the middle three layers, with an extremely strong intuition for danger.

Gong might be defeated, but death was hardly possible for him, let alone capture!

Thinking of the situation back home, Sadness arose in Yodora's heart.

If the Life Empire had not fallen apart, their Yodora Kingdom would have been so mighty; such a situation with an unknown civilization appearing nearby would not have required hiring mercenaries to investigate but merely sending a message to inquire.

But now, the entire kingdom was in a state of panic.

Especially after losing the garrison legions of the Life Empire.

Their own modest strength was at most sufficient to deter a mercenary group like Black Silver, hardly enough to commit to a battle.

Now with dimensional life wreaking havoc internally and a powerful unknown civilization appearing externally.

One misstep, and the Yodora Kingdom could perish along with the Life Empire!

“Please forgive our intrusion,” Prince Bent finally said gravely, bowing deeply in accordance with Yodora etiquette, “We only wished to understand our new neighbors; there was absolutely no ill intent!”

A single sentence had put the Yodora Kingdom in an even lower position.

But that was unavoidable.

Even if he hadn't done so, the plight of Yodora Kingdom was well known.

It could be said that most civilizations affiliated with the Life Empire were in the same state; the Life Empire would send troops to garrison, hence the combat strength of local troops was evident, and nobody had anticipated that such a formidable Life Empire could disintegrate so rapidly.

All the garrison troops had been withdrawn, and their type of affiliated kingdom was essentially abandoned.

Facing a neighbor that could easily capture the Black Silver Mercenary Group, they really couldn't muster much defiance.

Human civilization had clearly anticipated this situation.

“I wonder if the Yodora Kingdom has considered seeking a new patron?” the envoy from Human Civilization stepped forward and spoke bluntly.

Prince Bent's eyes clearly lit up.

“As you can see, we encountered a dimensional vortex and were suddenly transported here, left with just a few planets,” the envoy stated directly following instructions from above, “We need many resources, and although the Yodora Kingdom is small, its economic development is fairly solid; in return, we can provide a garrison to help you fend off dimensional beings or other civilization threats.”

Mutual needs!

In such a situation, there was indeed no need for any beating around the bush.

In this world, occurrences like entire solar systems suddenly transporting along with some planets are rare natural phenomena.

Called dimensional vortexes.

They are large-scale, uncontrollable jump phenomena.

Human civilization merely needed to exploit this phenomenon.

After hearing this proposal, Prince Bent only hesitated for a brief moment before quickly responding, “If that's the case, I can represent the Yodora Kingdom in accepting this offer.”

Yes, there was nothing to hesitate about.

The other party making such an offer clearly had absolute confidence in their military strength.

If they had no confidence, the troops they sent, if not strong enough, could hardly have deterred them.

Similarly.

Since they had such confidence, the Yodora Kingdom had little resistance to offer.

In the currently emerging chaos of the stellar order, relations between forces had become simpler, ultimately dependent only on strength.

More so–The Yodora Kingdom was not without its bargaining chips.

Since the other party did not opt for direct assault and occupation, this might be an opportunity!

Thus, the initial agreement was reached as smoothly as anticipated.

“First, send the special operations force, I will personally deliver them,” Shen Hao said, “The spaceship's modifications also need to be expedited.”

The current Human Civilization lacked sufficient jump engines and related technology.

However, the jump engines obtained from the “Black Silver” fleet could initially be utilized.

These jump engines were produced modularly and could be freely assembled. In fact, assembling spaceships in this star system was like assembling cars in the past human civilization–it required some technical skills but was not exaggerated.

With the current technological accumulation of human civilization, it was effortless.

They could even redesign warships based on the parameters of these jump engines and manufacture them in a short period.

They just needed to wait a little longer.

This was also one of the reasons for the relatively conciliatory nature of human civilization.

The first batch of strong individuals to be sent was quickly determined.

Many elites eagerly signed up, and even Qiuyue responded actively, but after careful consideration, Shen Hao dispatched two numbered special operation teams.

The first team was the “Snow Wolf Battalion,” consisting of three thousand members, led personally by Yang Jun as the battalion commander.

All members were above Level 17, including forty who had reached the third stage, and ten were direct subordinates of Shen Hao.

Their strength was undoubtedly among the top few in the elite forces of present human civilization.

The other battalion was named “Yanshi Team.”

Clearly, it was led by Chen Sihui.

This battalion, in fact, was not merely a combat unit but also a research team. The members' levels weren't high, and their number was not large, only about a thousand, but most were involved in the production and research of weapons equipment, who were also powerful combatants.

Their equipment was highly sophisticated and extremely powerful.

The reason for dispatching this unit was not for battle but to better study the technologies related to spiritual energy.

After all, in this world, the primary application of spiritual energy was not for civilian use.

But for combat! It ultimately was a type of extraordinary energy designed for battle.

In this scenario, Chen Sihui was indeed specialized in the field.

Once the personnel were selected and the timings coordinated, Shen Hao directly raised his scepter, transforming these four thousand individuals into a beam of light that directly crossed through space!

Meanwhile, on a planet of Yodora named Deandre, Prince Bent quietly waited with a group of soldiers wearing white war armor.

Standing by his side was the strongest individual in the Yodora Kingdom.

The Kingdom's Knight Commander–Reith.

Similar in appearance to a seahorse, but Reith's physique clearly surpassed other Yodora People by several times, his body filled with formidable spiritual energy, carrying immense deterrent power.

Reith's spiritual ability talent was also mighty, ranked at the fifth layer among the twelve levels of talent.

Also the Middle Three Layers.

It was because of his presence that the Yodora Kingdom dared to employ mercenary groups; otherwise, they would have to beware of the mercenaries turning against them.

After all, in this universe, mercenary groups could be trading groups but also cosmic pirates.

“Reith,” Prince Bent spoke, “when the advanced forces of human civilization arrive, you will be the one to receive them. You need to showcase your strength and observe their performance.”

“Yes, Your Highness,” Reith clearly understood.

Being a Yodora Person, he had been trained by the Yodora Kingdom from an early age, especially after awakening his powerful talents, and his loyalty to the Yodora Kingdom was extremely high.

He clearly knew his greatest use.

That was deterrence!

He didn't need to truly step onto the battlefield, face the enemy, but he must offer deterrence.

It could even be said that in the current situation, his power of deterrence determined how many options and how much dignity the Yodora Kingdom still held.

Reith quietly looked up at the sky.

If things went as expected, the spaceships of human civilization would soon jump to outer space and then arrive before them.

This was actually quite an impolite act.

Normally, they should jump to a distance far from the planet and then arrive at the planet under the escort of their spaceships.

But the other party had requested that they wait directly on the planet, meaning they had to completely open up all space defenses.

“Human civilization, I have never heard of this name, nor can it be researched,” Reith finally spoke.

“Hmm, I suspect it's just a fake name,” said Prince Bent, looking somewhat worried, but his gaze involuntarily glanced behind him for a moment.

It was just a fleeting glance.

Apart from Reith, no one noticed.

But this glance reassured Reith.

Yes, the Yodora Kingdom might appear very weak now, but they had been an affiliated kingdom of the Life Empire for a full thousand years!

How could they not have any trump card!

If the other party really thought they could oppress them at will, even swallow them, they would certainly break a tooth.
