"Beep... Identity verification successful!"

"Highest-level access channel established!!"

With a cold, mechanical sound, the huge circular holographic sand table in the center of the operations room suddenly lit up with a ghostly blue light.

The beams of light intertwined and recombine in mid-air, and five holographic projections appeared one after another around the sand table.

The moment the five illusory figures solidified completely, a suffocating aura of superiority swept over us.

Captain Renault and the Commander of the Armand Warband knelt on one knee and gave a perfectly standard Imperial salute.

Lin Hui, on the other hand, calmly observed them.

On the far left is the Pope of the state church, Clement.

He was an old man dressed in an elaborate and ornate dark gold monk's robe, wearing a pointed crown and holding a holy scepter.

Next to the Pope was Alexander, the Chief Justice of Starshield City.

He was as tall as an iron tower, with half of his face covered by a cold, silver metal mask, revealing only a cold, mechanical prosthetic eye that gleamed red.

Standing in the center was Leonard, the Star Shield War Commander. His posture was as straight as a sword, his aura as calm as an abyss, and his icy blue eyes were deep and restrained, exuding an imposing presence without anger.

To the right of the War General is the Chief Technician, Otto.

This is also the most bizarre-looking one. He is tall, but his skull is covered with rows of data cables that flash blue light, and his arms have been completely replaced with precision mechanical prosthetics.

She is Elendina, the only woman in the five-member Supreme Council and the city lord of Star Shield City.

She was a woman with long, wine-red hair, wearing a tight-fitting dark red military uniform that exuded both aristocratic elegance and a powerful aura.

If an ordinary player were faced with this situation, they would probably be at a loss and speechless.

But Lin Hui was different; his presence was no less imposing than these people.

He remained silent for a full five seconds.

Finally, Coach Leonard spoke, his voice steady:

"Lord Lin Hui, on behalf of the Imperial High Council, I thank you for your intervention in Manchester today! If it weren't for you, Manchester would have suffered the same fate as cities like Amis, being completely wiped off the map by the Mechanical Eldar."

Today, the Eldar invaded four cities simultaneously. Except for Manchester, which held out, the other three have all fallen!

Upon hearing this, Lin Hui's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

Just then, the Star Shield City Judge suddenly asked:

"Your Excellency, have those silent statues and escort ships... been permanently lost? Or... have you simply hidden them in some space beyond our reach?"

He needed to determine whether those silent statues would one day suddenly reappear in the heart of the Empire and be reclaimed by the Eldar through phase teleportation!

All eyes in the room instantly focused on Lin Hui.

Lin Hui smiled slightly and said, "I have indeed hidden them in a space. As long as I don't release them, the Mechanical Spirit Race will never be able to get them again."

The Chief Judge of Star Shield City was a 9th-tier psychic. Although he couldn't directly see into Lin Hui's mind, he knew from Lin Hui's facial expressions that Lin Hui wasn't lying.

But Lin Hui's words also had another meaning: if he wanted, the Mechanical Spirit Race could get these things back.

This means that in the upcoming cooperation...

The initiative was firmly in Lin Hui's hands, not in the hands of the empire.

Lin Hui glanced around and said calmly, "What is the mission? You may speak frankly."

Warlord Leonard stated directly, "Since that's the case, then I'll be frank. We need your cooperation with the Star Shield Army's top elite forces to infiltrate the Eldar-controlled territory and steal all the [Silent Statues] from them!"

"According to our intelligence, when the Soren Dynasty fleet arrived on Torres, there were a total of 10 Silent Stone Statues. You took one away in Manchester today, so they should still have 9 left."

Lin Hui suddenly spoke up, "To correct you, it's not nine. They only have eight left now."

"Could it be that you..." Elena, the city lord of Star Shield City, couldn't help but ask, her beautiful face filled with astonishment.

"Yes," Lin Hui said casually, "I picked one up on my first day on Torres Star."

Captain Renault, standing to the side, was startled. He suddenly recalled the day he first met Lin Hui on the battlefield of the canyon, when the anti-magic field that had been suppressing them suddenly and inexplicably disappeared!

At the time, he thought the stone statue had been teleported away, but now that he thinks about it... it was actually stolen by Lin Hui, no, picked it up!

Lin Hui waved his hand casually, "Let's continue discussing the conditions."

Leonard took a deep breath and continued:

"This mission is deep behind enemy lines and extremely dangerous. But if you agree to take it on, the Empire can provide you with all the materials needed to upgrade your vehicle to Tier 10, and we'll even cover the cost of building a brand new top-tier vehicle if you wish!"

After saying that, he continued, "That's not all. After that, for every Silent Statue you successfully steal, we can grant you access to the Empire's Royal Treasury, where you can choose any item unconditionally!"

"Don't underestimate our empire's treasury; it's the culmination of nearly a century of accumulation, and the collection within... will absolutely exceed your imagination!"

What do you think?

Listening to Zhan Shuai's grand promises, Lin Hui quickly started calculating in his mind.

A nod and you get level 10 materials? You can get a free item into the national treasury for every one you steal? The Supreme Council is really going all out to win me over.

This mission might be dangerous for other players, but I can enter the alternate dimension at any time and teleport to the RV, greatly reducing the risk.

Seeing Lin Hui deep in thought and not answering immediately, Elena, the city lord of Star Shield City with long, wine-red hair, spoke up:

"Your Excellency, you may not know this, but just two hours ago, the Supreme Lord of the Mechanical Eldar personally ordered three capital destroyers to head straight for Manchester. Although we don't know why they suddenly turned back halfway, one thing is certain..."

"Your ability to take away warships and statues has crossed their line. You are definitely on the Eldar's kill list!"

"Cooperating with our empire is not only helping us, it's also saving yourself!"
