The Western Alliance Headquarters is the brain of the entire Western Alliance, where many crucial decisions regarding the alliance are made. The headquarters is divided into dozens of sections, with commanders from various nations working here, and the operations center is currently engaged in intense discussions.
This section is responsible for the operations concerning Resource Star, and today a meeting is being held to address accountability regarding a recent incident of mass assault.
“Matsushita, the Western Alliance's Mechanic forces suffered significant losses this time, and you cannot escape responsibility. We have decided to revoke your Mechanic status and assign you to the logistics department on Resource Star for a thousand hours of labor as punishment. This resolution will take effect immediately. Do you have any objections?”
The commander of Eagle Sauce holds considerable authority here, while the commanders from other nations are largely mere decorations. Generally, everyone complies with his inquiries, but this time Matsushita feels wronged.
“Commander, I broke a rib, my mecha was destroyed, and I was dragged out of the cockpit like a dog and humiliated. Shouldn't we hold the Dragon Kingdom accountable instead of punishing our own? If this continues, who will still believe that the Western Alliance is our sanctuary and that we are unbreakable allies?”
Matsushita's words were heartfelt, tears welling in his eyes.
“Ha! You provoked others first, leading to significant losses for the Western Alliance. I will hold you accountable before addressing how to deal with the Dragon Kingdom's arrogance. As for whether the Western Alliance can protect you or if you are still allies, that depends on your understanding. If you have objections, you are free to leave the Western Alliance and face the Dragon Kingdom directly. My Eagle Sauce Nation values freedom; the choice is yours.”
Unexpectedly, Matsushita’s arguments did not sway the Eagle Sauce commander at all; instead, he countered with a series of sharp retorts.
“The likes of you, A San and Sakura Zai, should know your place as dogs—how dare you make demands? You’ve been given enough face already!”
Present were not only the commander of Eagle Sauce but also other commanders from various nations. At this moment, they fell silent and began addressing the Eagle Sauce commander.
“Matsushita-kun, this incident was indeed your fault; it would be wise to accept your punishment. Life is long; there will be other opportunities.”
Currently, humanity is in a united effort against Mechanical Beasts. The Dragon Kingdom is both foul and formidable; we must prioritize the bigger picture. You do bear responsibility for mishandling this situation.
Just then, a commander from Sakura Kingdom abruptly stood up after receiving a phone call. “Everyone, there’s an urgent matter! Our intelligence officer has just reported astonishing information: one of the mechs in Matsushita-kun’s squad that day possesses Level Soul Talent. Therefore, in my view, Matsushita-kun has provided us with valuable insight into the Dragon Kingdom's Level Soul Talent capabilities. This could offset his wrongdoing; perhaps he should not be punished after all?”
The Sakura Kingdom commander looked towards the Eagle Sauce leader, who frowned deeply.
“Level Soul Talent? It has appeared on Lan Xing before; if this news is true, it is indeed significant. Please gather footage from that day’s combat—at least from multiple angles—we need to assess it. As for Matsushita-kun’s situation, let’s proceed as you suggested.”
The Eagle Sauce commander immediately ordered for that day’s combat footage to be brought forth—footage captured during the melee involving Western Alliance mechs.
At that time, Lu Ziye's strength was not particularly impressive; he relied on Hundredfold Attack Speed.
After watching the video, many expressed disappointment.
“This? Level Mechanism Soul? Are we sure there’s no mistake?”
In the end, they reached a conclusion: it was not worth worrying about and did not need to be reported!
“Wow! There really is something there!” Lu Ziye fought while retreating, handling an Elite Mechanical Beast on his own without confronting it head-on.
In the sky, more than ten Energy Shells surged in from the outskirts, intercepted by Lu Ziye's artillery. Massive fireballs erupted in the air, staining a large expanse of the sky with crimson hues.
The violent shockwaves lifted clouds of dust from the ground, creating swirling sandstorms that were truly spectacular.
At this moment, the advantage of rapid fire rate became apparent. The additional speed allowed Lu Ziye to attack while still having enough capacity to defend against the incoming Energy Shells.
The opponent was an Elite Mechanical Beast, whose mobility surpassed his own. Although Lu Ziye fought while retreating, it was only a matter of time before he would be caught. However, Lu Ziye's concentrated firepower continuously inflicted damage and hindered the Mechanical Beast's advance. Coupled with a slight repelling effect, the Mechanical Beast was unable to close the distance significantly for the time being.
