Survival of the Stars: Rise of the Fourth Scourge

"In nearly four years, "UNSC" has been able to grow from a small number of people to 109 people today. It is inseparable from everyone's efforts. I hope everyone can continue to work hard to make our round table bigger. In this era , Only by uniting can we go too far.”

Compared with two years ago, the round table in the conference hall is bigger.

It was almost full, with only a dozen vacant seats left.

At a glance, there are more than 100 people sitting around the round table.

Everyone is wearing a black military uniform, male and female.

Everyone looked at the figure who got up and gave a speech.

The words spoken by the President of the Council may not be so inspiring, but they are the most truthful words.

Yes, for the same goal, in the past two years, everyone has maintained a high level of tension.

Days are passed by time, except for the rest time, everyone is struggling in their respective positions.

Whether old or new, once integrated into this group, they will be infected by the atmosphere of collective struggle.

One person said: "President of the Council, just give an order. War has never been about justice. In this day and age, the weak prey on the strong, and the weak will only be eliminated. If we want to survive, we must become the strong, not be plundered, The oppressive weak."

As soon as these words came out, everyone responded one after another.

"That's right, we have prepared for two years and struggled for two years, isn't it just for this day to come? Councilor, please give an order, everyone here can fight for the future of "UNSC"."

"President, I recommend myself, let me go..."

"I'll go as well……"

"Count me..."

In the face of the coming war, no one in the conference hall flinched.

They recommended themselves one after another, wanting to join the "UNSC" in its first foreign war.

Seeing that everyone recommended themselves and wanted to join this foreign war, Wood Stevens breathed a sigh of relief.

His individual decision and collective decision are completely two concepts.

Among more than 100 people, it is impossible for everyone to have the same opinion.

It is only because most people approve of foreign wars that a small number of people remain silent.

As the head of the council and the core of the group, he cannot take sides at any time.

Only by remaining neutral can he be respected by all.

It is not he who makes the decision, but the group, the minority obeys the majority, and he is only the judge of the result,
"Everyone, please be quiet!"

Inwood Stevens spoke, and the conference hall gradually fell silent.

Looking around at the people on the round table, Wood Stevens said in a deep voice: "The life of each of you is important to me and to the team. I am very pleased that you have the courage to sacrifice yourself, but as the chairman of the council, I can't send all of you to the battlefield, in order to preserve our vitality, three people will lead the fleet to the S-01888 star system in this foreign war, each commanding five firm-class frigates, a total of fifteen warships."

Speaking of this, Wood Steven's eyes fixed on one person.

"Leo, you are the most familiar with S-01888, so you will be the commander of the fleet and command the fleet to fight!"

Seeing the chairman of the council looking at him, Leo knew that he would not be able to run away in this foreign war.

As a member of the governor's council, he naturally couldn't back down.

Standing up, Leo nodded and said, "Leave it to me!"

Wood Steven looked at the other two.

"Kayson, Brian, the two of you will serve as deputy commanders to assist Leo in commanding the fleet."

Ryan, Brian stood up and said in unison: "Yes!"

Nodding to the three of them, Wood Steven said: "Three days to prepare, three days later, the fleet will set off!"

The meeting continues...

In the following time, Wood Steven said a lot.

War is never a two-person affair.

There are people fighting on the front lines, and the burden on the shoulders of those behind will not be light.

War is never easy.

If you want to win, you must be more comprehensive and farther than the enemy thinks.

"That's the end of the meeting, Leo, Maureen, Rosalind stay..."

In the end, Wood Stevens declared the meeting over.

Some people left the conference hall, while others stayed.

As everyone left, there were only four people left on the round table.

Leo, Maureen, Rosalind, and Wood Stevens.

Wood Stevens looked at Leo, and said: "The reason why I let you stay is because I have something to tell you. I have given instructions to the artificial intelligence of each ship. Once the ship is destroyed, any Information about the S-01820 star system, avoiding the discovery of the star system where the "UNSC" headquarters is."

A look of surprise flashed in Leo's eyes.

"President, do you think we will lose?"

Wood Steven shook his head and said: "I don't think we will lose, but we must be prepared to "lose". Before we win the war, any result is possible."

Hearing this, Leo fell silent.

The President of the Council is right, no one has the ability to foreknowledge.

Whether it will win or lose is still unknown.

Although Leo didn't think he would lose, they did lack understanding of the forces in the S-01888 star system.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle.

And they know nothing about the enemy.

"Leo, I hope you understand that people are more important than ships. Ships can be rebuilt when they are gone. If people are gone, they are really gone. There are only fifteen warships. We can afford to lose them. As long as people are still there, we will not lose them." will lose."

Whether this was true or false, or just a hypocritical courtesy, Leo didn't know.

He doesn't understand people's hearts, and he doesn't have the patience to explore people's hearts.

But Leo had to admit that the speaker's words made him very comfortable.

Let him be willing to trust the chairman of the council and admire him from the bottom of his heart.

This may be the so-called politician, who is good at winning people's hearts.

And this set is not something everyone can learn.

Leo nodded: "I understand..."

With a slight smile, Wood Steven said: "Go, take a good rest for a few days, and recharge your batteries."

Without saying anything, Leo got up, stood up, turned around and strode away.

Seeing Leo's leaving back, Wood Steven put away the smile on his face.

He looked at Maureen and Rosalind again.

The two happened to sit next to each other.

"Rosalind, you and Maureen are going to the "Trade Mall". The time limit for the mission is approaching, and your characteristics are just right for you."

Go to the trade mall?
Mo Lin asked: "President, is there enough trade currency?"

Rosalin's characteristic is "Wandering Merchant", five times the price and [-]% discount.

With Rosalinn around, one ton of ternary lithium ore can be sold as five tons.

You can buy two for the price of one population.

But as far as Morin knew, "UNSC" was relatively poor.

Wood Steven said: "I have calculated that if there are 20 people, and then use other characteristics of "UNSC" members, all members can complete the task."

Some "features" require a team concept.

And a real team is not as simple as a two-person alliance.

There has to be some kind of connection.

Take the "UNSC" as an example, everyone's technology template comes from the "characteristic" of the chairman of the council, Wood Stevenson.

All of them have some kind of subtle connection with the chairman of the council, which is the team.

Once a person's attributes are associated with the "team", they can be shared by all members.
