In the Gray Zone, the Blue Star Joint Command Center stood as a hub of military activity. Various nations' Starships hovered in the air, while Mechanics piloted their mechs down from the ships after passing assessments in the White Zone. Unlike the White Zone, which was divided by national factions and managed accordingly, the Gray Zone operated differently. Here, Mechanics from all nations were stationed together, fighting side by side without separation based on their countries.
The White Zone had the conditions to support such divisions, but in the Gray Zone, fierce battles erupted constantly. Each day brought two possible outcomes: either the human Mechanics would capture a Beast Nest, pushing their forces forward on Resource Star, or the Mechanical Beasts would gain the upper hand, reclaiming territory and forcing human Mechanics to retreat.
At the entrance of the Blue Star Joint Command Center, a large projection screen displayed real-time updates of the battlefield. The current status showed areas of Resource Star occupied by humans alongside regions completely under Mechanical Beast control. The objective for humanity was straightforward: to drive out the Mechanical Beasts and regain control of Resource Star.
"New recruits, stop dawdling! Get your turtle shells moving and report for duty to receive your combat assignments! With that kind of spirit, I doubt you’ll last three days! You’re the laziest batch of recruits I’ve ever seen! Move it, move it, hurry up!" A commanding officer shouted as they landed.
Lu Ziye joined the throng of Mechanics reporting for duty. Just upon arrival at the Gray Zone, there were already numerous Mechanics in line. If this continued, thousands of new Mechanics would join the fight each year—this battle had captured the attention of everyone on Lan Xing.
Currently, Lan Xing had one main combat zone and several training bases in the White Zone. The training bases were similar to where Lu Ziye had just come from; they focused on adapting newly awakened Mechanics from around the world. The combat zones were crucial for resource production and mech construction—essential for sustaining human warfare.
If humanity were to suffer a complete defeat on Resource Star, everything would be over; they would lose their most vital war resources. Here, one could frequently see transport ships weighing over ten thousand tons hauling precious ores from Resource Star back to Lan Xing for mech construction.
The Mechanical Beasts on Resource Star were not overwhelmingly powerful; most were around a certain level. If humanity could mobilize a strong team, they could quickly establish a foothold and even take full control of the planet. However, it was not that simple. Each time humanity increased its occupation on Resource Star, a violent Beast Tide would emerge, with numerous Mechanical Beasts arriving from other star systems to support their kind, pushing humans back and even counterattacking.
Through research, humanity discovered that these supporting Mechanical Beasts came from four other planets known for their high intelligence and cooperative abilities.
Thus, humanity could only temporarily maintain a certain balance with the Mechanical Beasts on Resource Star, ensuring their survival. After years of warfare, a large number of high-level Master Mechanics emerged, and battlefronts were opened on four other planets to divert the support of the Mechanical Beasts.
Having finally endured the recent violent Beast Tide, humanity had increased its territorial control significantly. However, another High-Level War Zone was already operating at full capacity, making it difficult for the Mechanical Beasts to provide reinforcements. Meanwhile, humanity lacked the strength to advance further on Resource Star.
In this situation, any progress or defense on Resource Star relied entirely on the Mechanics stationed there. The Mechanics present had vitality levels around ten thousand, with ranks fluctuating between levels. Based on their abilities, they were assigned to different mission areas.
"Make way! Make way!" The chaotic sounds from outside interrupted Lu Ziye's thoughts as he headed towards the reporting area. He saw a shuttle unloading over a dozen injured Mechanics, some from the Dragon Kingdom and others from foreign lands, all severely wounded. Such scenes had become commonplace here.
"Yan Long Raider Mech, Lu Ziye, rank level—you have been assigned to the Assault Team. I’m pulling you into the Assault Team now; your specific tasks will be assigned by your team leader. I’ll add you to the Assault Team channel; pay attention to the messages inside." After reviewing Lu Ziye's basic information, the reporting area administrator first looked at him in surprise before proceeding with his assignment. To his astonishment, he discovered that Lu Ziye possessed a Mecha Soul Talent at level S—something he had never encountered before among Mechanics of this caliber.
The basic information included mech type, mech rank, Mechanic name, and talent level; however, the Firepower Index was not listed—this was something only the Mechanic himself knew.
Obeying the arrangement, Lu Ziye found that his mech communication channel now included an Assault Team section. Soon after, information came through from the Legion Channel.
"[New members Lu Ziye, Zhang Yu, and Wang Ke have joined the channel.]"
"[Legion Channel Liu Tianwei: Welcome new members! I am your team leader Liu Tianwei. After we analyze the new combat mission, we will issue orders in a few minutes. Please prepare for battle and check your mech status. Remember, this is Gray Zone—not a trial camp—there are no second chances here. You must obey orders; on the battlefield, desertion leads to only one outcome: military law.]"
Around Lu Ziye were thousands of mechs—new recruits waiting for their respective missions.
