40,000 Years of Cultivation

However, although the ancient sages think so in their hearts, they lack sufficient theoretical level to express their opinions and interests clearly-after all, they jumped directly from the "feudal era" to the highly productive information society, just a few years ago They are still on a continent for the feudal kingship, and now they have to make decisions about the unpredictable Xinghai hegemony, which is too strong.

They, including the powerful "New Four Realms" who agreed with them to send troops, turned their attention to the same person-the former deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet, and the current "Bone Dragon-Chairman of the Far Star Development Committee", Di Feiwen.

If it is said that among the many strong people present, there is only one who sincerely wants to help the empire at all costs, then it is undoubtedly the original imperial immortal cultivator Di Feiwen.

No, the word "original" is a bit redundant. Up to this moment, Di Feiwen has not given up his identity as an imperial man and a cultivator, and still retains a very ambiguous "dual nationality".

Di Feiwen's experience and his status today deeply reflect the ups and downs and unpredictability of fate.

More than a hundred years ago, he was just an ordinary deacon of the Ten Thousand Realms Business League. At that time, the Ten Thousand Realms Commercial League was just an ordinary business alliance in the border world of the empire. He was countless small merchants in the imperial power and nobility. Shaking under the devil's claws, it's just a loose association with a group for warmth.

He just relied on his blood from the Black Wind Realm, first became the liaison between the Black Wind Realm and the Ten Thousand Realms Business League, and then gradually took control of the manager of the Ten Thousand Realms Commercial League sending resources to the Black Wind Fleet, and finally changed. Become the deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet.

But it was really not the right time for him to be the deputy commander-that was when the Black Wind Defense Line was riddled with holes by the Holy Alliance, and a large number of starships in the Black Wind Five Realms fled in a hurry, and the situation was corrupted to despair.

If this were not the case, it would not have been his turn to be a small businessman and logistics officer, who had no knowledge of fleet command and StarCraft, and became the deputy commander of the skirmishers.

When the Black Wind Fleet rushed to - or "escaped" to the Star Beach with a large amount of resources, no one was optimistic about the future of this fleet, and of course no one was optimistic about the future of Di Fei Wenren.

Hei Yeming, the rebellious "King of Black Wind", would never be willing to be manipulated by anyone. Even the Emperor Shenwu at the time did not even want to order him, let alone the Ten Thousand Realms Business League and Di Feiwen.

Di Feiwen is at best that Hei Yeming and the Hei Ye family are held in the palm of his hand, and a loyal God of Wealth, including Di Feiwen, also thinks so.

He only needs to coordinate and manage the resources of the entire fleet. As for the specific strategies and tactics, it is not his turn to interrupt at all. Of course, he does not have too many private soldiers and can grab more power.

And when the Black Wind Fleet hit a bloodshed in front of the Star Federation, and almost annihilated the entire army, Di Feiwen's destiny fell to the bottom of the valley, and he was about to die among the dark stars, with no place to bury him.

At this moment, destiny made a huge, almost ridiculous joke with him.

Hei Yeming-including all the most fanatical ****ers and militants in the Black Wind Fleet are dead, and the remaining remnants will be scattered among the stars, losing all the will to fight, and they are all trapped in Liushen Wuzhu, clutching their lives. The straw is stuck in a state where even Di Feiwen, the God of Wealth who has never had much prestige, can easily gather and order them.

The Xingyao Federation did not have such a big appetite. It ate the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet in one fell swoop, and had to give him the power to "battlefield uprising", ushering in a decent peace, and a resource-rich planet-the original Skeleton Dragon Star, now the most distant star, has become a base for them to recuperate and rejuvenate.

This was the beginning of Di Feiwen's good fortune, but it was far from the end of his ascent to the sky.

According to the general logic, Di Feiwen’s actions were completely betrayed the empire, even if he, the "defeated general", could dominate the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet to live in the Federation, gradually merged into the Federation and became a senior general in the Federation. In the real human empire, he was an unforgivable traitor, and he was going to be nailed to a pillar of shame, and he would be cramped and slashed.

But that was the logic under the control of the old empire—the four major electors’ families.

The "new empire" ruled by the reformists obviously has different views.

In order to consolidate their power, the reformers had to find powerful allies in the Xinghai Quartet. Even authentic practitioners can cooperate, and even the identity and Dao Xin of "Vulture Li Yao" can be ignored, and he was officially awarded the "Black Wind King". How can the title compare with the past of Di Feiwen and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet?

In fact, as the only intermediary between the Empire and the Federation, the role of Di Feiwen and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet became more and more important day by day, and their status increased day by day.

The officials of the new empire and the new federation have intentionally or unintentionally ignored the slightly embarrassing identities of Di Feiwen and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet. The new emperor, the little lion who was in desperate need of foreign aid, even granted it in a serious way He was awarded the title of "Second Class" in the Di Feiwen Empire, and praised the former small trader for his "loyalty" and "wu yong".

Second-class prince, the second-class prince of the dignified true human empire!

A hundred years ago, countless powerhouses from the four major electors’ families had tormented all their lives in vain, and countless intrigues and fought life and death struggles, never dreaming of getting the title of second-class marquis.

Even in the special period of the Empire's counterattack, when the titles are issued in batches like hats, if you want to wear the Sun and Moon Sword Medal, which represents the second-class marquis, on your chest, you also need genuine combat exploits, using tons of iron and blood to forge!

If known by all the second-class princes of the empire in the past three to five hundred years, Di Feiwen only led the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet and was happy and happy on the Bone Dragon Star. It will be so angry that it will crawl out of the coffin, even if it is burned to ashes, the ashes will re-solidify, furious.

However, knowing that his identity is very subtle and his position is quite awkward, Di Feiwen became more and more low-key after he was awarded the title of Second Marquis of the Empire, and he also showed more and more "loyalty" to the Federation. In the long-distance negotiations of the empire, he stood firmly on the side of the Federation, severely slashed the empire’s negotiators several times, and helped the Federation squeeze out a large amount of precious technology of the empire.

Di Feiwen knew very well that the wealth and wealth of himself and the Remnants of the Black Wind belonged to the Federation, not the Empire.

The stronger the federation, the more important they are to the empire, and the higher their value.

If it helps the empire deal with the Federation, or even eliminates the Federation completely, then it is time for the empire to pursue their "shameless treason" guilt, any second-class and first-class will be the end of the head.

Di Feiwen took his position very rightly. The sensitive topic of "Expedition to the Center of the Star Sea" was not something he could easily interfere with as a dual-identity captain.

Therefore, at the beginning of the meeting, Di Feiwen sat awkwardly, watching his nose and his mouth, looking like an old monk, his mouth was like a zipper, and he made up his mind to be silent to the end.

He even turned a blind eye to the unabashed gaze of the ancient sage strongman Han Baling.

Speaking of which, Di Feiwen and the ancient sages have a very good relationship, especially with the king "Han Baling" from the Ghost Qin Grassland.

Most of the ancient sages are not pure cultivators, especially Han Baling, an ambitious "classical gangster", who has a strong interest in the empire's cultivation avenue, which is far better than the federal's seemingly tender cultivation system.

In order to cure the famine, plague and other diseases caused by the population explosion in the ancient sacred world, and to develop the Skeleton Dragon on a large scale, the Federation transported a large number of immigrants from the ancient sacred realm to the Skeleton Dragon to live, which made Di Feiwen and Han Baling had a very close job contact opportunity.

Han Baling is different from Yan Liren and Master Kuchan. He is extremely politically ambitious. He has a keen insight into the current relationship between the Confederation and the Empire. He also knows why Di Feiwen is so peaceful. The spirits are similar, and in just a few years, they have formed irreversible acquaintances, a certain kind of political alliance.

Now, the ancient sage is eager for a glorious war to further improve his position in the federation, but there is no clear reason to refute the many problems that Bai Xinxing has raised, and he naturally places his hopes on Di Feiwen. .

Di Feiwen does not necessarily have the power to make connections with the ancient sacred world and other new worlds to check and balance the "old federal system" and to achieve stronger independence and a brighter future for the black wind remnants.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes are in full view, and this inconvenience is directly exposed.

It wasn't until the Federal Speaker Ding Lingdang shot a knife-like gaze on him that a wry smile wafted from the corner of his mouth, until he couldn't escape anyway.

"General Di, the Empire is your hometown. If the Federation really sends troops to the center of Xinghai, you will have to play an important role, including the cooperation between the Federation and the Empire, the security issues of the Federation, and... after the victory, the conclusion of an alliance, The negotiation of many conditions requires your great efforts."

Ding Lingdang bluntly said, "What do you think about the many concerns that Chief of General Staff Bai raised just now?"

This is forcing him to tear through the pretense of uncertainty and ambiguity.

Di Feiwen sighed softly in his heart, and somehow he remembered the life in his home in the empire more than a hundred years ago.

It may not be so warm, what a beautiful memory.

But no matter how dark or cold it is, my hometown is my hometown after all!

"I haven't commanded a fleet for a long time. No, it should be said that I have never commanded a fleet. I am probably the most incompetent'fleet commander' among Xinghai? Military decisions are naturally based on the opinion of Chief of Staff Bai. quasi."

Di Feiwen smiled and said, "From the bottom of my heart, I've always been a businessman, just a small businessman who buys low and sells high and cares about everything.

"From the standpoint of a businessman, I want to ask you a question. If a businessman wants to sell an umbrella at a high price, should he choose a clear sky or a rainstorm?"
