Chapter 738: Eternal Star Alliance

"What do you think? Do you have any problem with my conditions?" Nash asked, seeing everyone stay silent.

"Lord Nash... Giving you 10 or even 20 mother core ships was not a problem. But helping you transport population..."

Not only would it be a hassle, consuming most of the manpower to help with the transportation, they also needed to decrease the intensity and number of dark gates they had to open. Calculating the overall cost, it would equal ten million in the short term and hundreds of millions in the long term.

Those dark gates were their foundation; if they were to stop, they would be further left behind by others.

"I’m not asking you to hurry. As long as you can deliver them in 5 years, I would already be satisfied." Nash said.

There wasn’t any hurry about the population expansion. They had barely stabilized their territory, and adding another would cause more loss than gain. Especially since their opening of the dark gates had already been halted long enough.

"5 years? In that case, it’s not a problem."

Stretching the timeline to five years, the cost they had to bear was naturally lower. In fact, it was almost negligible, as Nash would be paying all their expenses.

The only problem was, since they needed 5 years to complete the deal, did that mean Nash would also help them only five years later?

"What about the Altier Arcane Cannon, Lord Nash? Can you help us in advance?"

"Naturally, the stronger you are, the more help you can give to the alliance. As soon as you deliver the Chaos Stones and mother core ships, I’ll help you deal with the tier 9 dark beast within your territory."

"That’s great!"

"Haha, indeed. Since we’ve all come to an agreement, then our alliance is officially established. Please decide the name of our alliance, Lord Nash."

"Let’s call it the Eternal Star Alliance."

"Cheers to the Eternal Star Alliance!"

"Cheers!"

Celebrating the formation of the Eternal Star Alliance, they didn’t forget to sign a partnership contract, including the various conditions and terms they had discussed earlier.

The contract was overseen by the Void Administrator. Although it was only valid for a limited time, it was enough to assure everyone.

A week later, after the Altier Convention, Nash and the others returned to their territory.

Carrying in his storage space were the items he bought at the auction, as well as 320 tier 8 mother core ships!

"The harvest this time was not bad," Nash muttered, full of smiles.

Not to mention the items on which he spent 15 million Chaos Stones, his greatest gain was these mother core ships. Converted into Chaos Stones, they were worth at least 32 million. If they were all put toward replication, he could have another 320 mother core ships in three years.

"The foundation of those top-level teams is really immense."

"The trouble isn’t small either. Leading the Eternal Star Alliance, you would be on the opposite side of those Major-Level Teams." Elizabeth commented.

During the remaining week of the Altier Convention, they discussed various matters, from how to cooperate more deeply to tackling the unexplored domain areas, and how to face the alliance of other top-level teams and the Major-Level Teams.

"Isn’t this more exciting? In this way, the cosmic competition would be a little more interesting." Camilla said. As a war freak, she wanted more chaos than anything else. Although a peaceful life was good, it was too monotonous.

"Don’t be too excited. Without virtualizing all 1,616 laws, forget about joining the coming expedition." Nash said, knowing what was on her mind.

"How come? I can’t possibly virtualize all those laws before the expedition. Can’t I at least send a clone?" Camilla pouted.

In 5 months, the Eternal Star Alliance would be joining the Chronos Alliance on the expedition. Such short notice wasn’t even enough for 10 laws; how could she finish all 1,616?

"Fine, for every law you virtualize, I’ll let you send a clone."

"Yay~ Thank you, husband~" Camilla said sweetly, hugging his arm.

As for Elizabeth, she was not a battle maniac like Camilla and preferred to stay in their residence and tend flowers.

Returning to the Neon Star Alliance Territory, Nash went to meet up with Julius, while Camilla and Elizabeth began to tend to their residence with the plants and animals they bought at the Altier Auction.

"Supreme Leader, you’ve called me." Julius bowed in greeting.

"How is the recruitment drive at the Altier Convention? Have you managed to recruit some teams?"

"Hmm, hearing the news that you are willing to buy their population and territory at a high price, many teams within the Chronos Alliance were already on their way here."

"That’s good."

Unfortunately, the teams they could invite were limited to the Chronos Alliance Territory. Each Major Team’s territory was closed off and couldn’t interfere with the others besides normal trade.

As for how that 3,000-member alliance was able to form, they must have negotiated it in the unexplored domain area during the previous expedition.

After talking about a few more matters, Nash gave Julius a tier 8 spatial artifact. This treasure was gifted to him by the alliance members after becoming the leader of the Eternal Star Alliance.

An Artifact-grade treasure! Nash remembered the last Artifact-grade treasure was sold for tens of millions of Chaos Stones at the Altier Auction.

This grade of treasure was truly one of a kind. From common, rare, top, special, true, artifact, supreme, origin, and ultimate treasure, it was the sixth grade of treasure, unique to this world.

The function of this spatial treasure was not simple either; besides its seemingly limitless space, it could contain any life. From fragile mortal life to special life that needed a unique environment.

Stored inside were the 14 Sun Star Voids, 320 mother core ships, dark gate materials, core material for a tier 9 array, special material for mother core ships, defense and weapon technology for the military outposts, and other resources.

"After distributing the resources inside, bring it back to me," Nash said. If worst came to worst, he could store the entire Neon Star Alliance Territory inside and escape into hiding.

The other use was, of course, to gather as many resources in the coming expedition as possible.

Meanwhile, having examined the resources inside the spatial artifact, Julius’s heart couldn’t help but throb in excitement.

With these resources, they could rebuild the foundation of the Neon Star Alliance not worse than any top-level team!

"Leave everything to me, Supreme Leader. I’ll let you see a renewed Neon Star Alliance in a few months!"

"Hmm. Go."
