BXBX NOVEL Chapter 419 Legolas Baron
"Less than 6 months…"
It was a single sentence but it was a powerful one.
This single sentence was what prompted Planet Darvis into action. Seeing Champion Onana\'s charts and virtual projections was one thing, but imagining the scenario of facing the real thing was an entirely different thing.
All the Grade C Superhumans were grounded in reality.
\'This is war!\'
\'Our lives are at stake and we need to do everything to survive!\'
\'Afterall, in war, there are no rules to survival, just survive!\'
Instantly after that single sentence, President Shanks took over from there.
On his orders, 5 Grade C Superhumans escorted Champion Onana and an entourage of Superhumans to the different prisons where the Nak Champions were held as prisoners.
Of course, Champion Onana\'s first demand was releasing his people.
While this went on, at the same time, the surviving traitors of the Clown Society who took refuge with the Nak Navy also received special attention.
President Shanks made special demand for them.
"We need them; they are ours".
Champion Onana did not object so they were all taken into custody. While all these happened, Legolas took charge of the negotiations between both races.
This cooperation already exceeded the realms of normal negotiations, it was negotiation between different races with entirely different cultures.
To avoid being scammed by the other, Legolas volunteered for the job.

[You have managed to strike a favorable deal with the Nak Navy!]
[You have unlocked Minor Title: Negotiator!]
>Negotiator: +50% Persuasion and Negotiation skills<
----
It was already 2 days since Planet Darvis and the Nak Navy reconciled, and under Legolas\' leadership, after these 2 days of clever negotiation, the terms of cooperation between the Nak Navy and Planet Darvis was finalized.
Legolas looked through the contract one last time.
>Cooperation Contract<
>Contract Terms<
* Unrestricted exchange of any information related to the coming cataclysm and the army of Space Bugs
* Active steps to cooperation by helping each other unconditionally in preparation for the coming cataclysm
* Exchange of Arcanite Metal for equivalent payment trade
* General free trade between both races
* Access to more class knowledges
* Access to the galactic web and galactic transport services
Getting the 2nd to last clause in the contract was extremely hard. Champion Onana only conceded because Legolas already knew his obsession with finding anyway possible to improve as a warrior, this was what he used against him.
In exchange for getting access to more class knowledges, every high-grade warrior in Planet Darvis will contribute in any capacity towards furthering his growth as a Super.
As a Mechanic Super, in as much as Champion Onana grew stronger through battle, growing stronger also relied strongly on the quality of his mech suit.
In essence, Champion Onana just solicited the unconditional help from the Virtual Mechanic and Technician Mechanic who were in Planet Darvis to help with building his next Mechanic suit for the war.
This warrior was ambitious, his ideal plan for the cataclysm was building a mech suit so OP that he broke the barrier into the Grade A realm.
Though Legolas knew this was completely ridiculous, he agreed.
Finalizing the contract sent ripples of shock through Planet Darvis as a whole. Once again, the citizens of this Planet were witnessing history being made.
Their whole life, Superhumans were only exposed to 3 Super knowledges. For the first time in their lives, they were exposed to the 3 other Super knowledges that made up the Super world, this was an era defining moment.
Not just the NPCs, the players also got this new unexpected benefit.

This Regional announcement sent ripples of shock through the player community; the player community was sent into a frenzy.
As the global player forum exploded with activity, another pivotal event also took place in Planet Darvis on that same day.
After the contract negotiation came the welcome and naming ceremony of the very first Heavy Cruiser in Planet Darvis.
After years of development alongside John, Ella, the Technician Mechanic finally fulfilled her childhood dream and created a real Heavy Cruiser.
The whole of Planet Darvis watched through virtual projections as in the Presidential Villa, an iconic naming ceremony was held.
President Shanks was the star of the show. After much excitement and refreshment, the President was finally called up to the podium.
Standing there, President Shanks felt emotional.
"It\'s been 6 years since I climbed this podium as the President of our beloved Planet. And though I dare not say that I am perfect, I\'ve tried my best".
"I\'ve given my all to make Planet Darvis a better planet to live in".
"After 6 years of growth, promoting the beauty of democracy and as our unity grew, so also did we develop and become a stronger force".
"Our Supers are stronger and more numerous than before".
"We have planetary defense measures".
"We have 2 Destroyers".
"And recently, we allied with our first galactic force, the Nak Navy. I believe this is a first of many and from the benefits that we gained, I strongly believe that this is a step forward in the right direction".
"In a few years\' time, we will also be able to travel in space".
"Space travel will no longer be a fairytale, we will fulfill the dreams of our ancestors, travel through the universe and build our power".
"Compared to 6 years ago…" President Shanks smiled. "I call this growth".
"This would have never been possible without the constant support of everyone around me from the Vice President, to the High Officials, to the Grade C Superhumans and the millions of citizens who constantly support me".
"For your support, I forever remain grateful".
"Our ordeals of the past 6 years culminated in this moment". His smile widened as he looked to the side, giving the signal as the gigantic robe covering the huge metal structure floating in the air was removed.
Instantly, the majestic Heavy Cruiser was showed in its full glory.
Made in a slightly oval shape with it\'s green and black metal hull, the Heavy Cruiser like Ella envisioned looked like a military weapon of mass destruction.
President Shanks grinned. "Our struggles all culminated in this moment".
"The moment that our efforts will finally be crowned".
"The moment that symbolizes our growth".
"This Heavy Cruiser".
Even before he got to this part of his speech, the cheers from the spectating Superhumans and citizens of Planet Darvis was already explosive as they cheered wildly at the top of their voices.
A lot of them felt like they were dreaming, they experienced different emotions. To most of them, it felt too good to be true.
Just 6 years ago, Planet Darvis was still a novice to technology, they were still bumpkins. Fast-forward 6 years to now, they had grown so much.
Seeing the Golden Cicada in action just about a week ago struck fear into the hearts of the warriors of the planet. The destructive might of the Heavy Cruiser left an unforgettable imprint in their hearts, now seeing theirs, pride filled their hearts.
At this moment, every single one of them felt proud to be called warriors of Planet Darvis, their citizenship became a thing of pride.
It was only after the explosive cheers that President Shanks finally continued.
"In as much as this Heavy Cruiser is a reflection of our growth as a united Planet, without giving special mention to someone, it will not be complete".
President Shanks felt a pair of eyes glaring at him from the high table but he only snickered and continued his speech. "This special someone is the secret anchor at the center of our growth for the past 6 years".
"He became a hero all the way from the days of the Clown Society".
"Without his help, we would have never been adequately prepared for the just concluded war. We would have never had planetary defense measures; we would have never fielded 2 Destroyers to counter the Battleships of the enemies".
"Without his help, perhaps, we would have been all dead".
"I am the President but he is the real leader". President Shank\'s voice exuded genuine respect at this moment.
"This man is no other than the hero of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, who some know as the Sexy Chocolate…" He grinned on feeling the glare. "But the Majority know him as High Official and Army Commander Legolas".
The cheers were thunderous as the spectators cheered at the top of their voices, clearly, their respect for this individual was at an all-time high.
President Shanks continued. "The Heavy Cruiser was possible all because of him and as acknowledgement for his efforts, I name this Battleship… Legolas Baron".
The naming ceremony concluded on a high as celebrations rocked the whole Planet. They needed this feeling of joy in preparation for the cataclysm.
