In the Gray Zone Blue Star Joint Command Center, the commanders from various countries, including Commander, concluded their mission briefing and departed to hold meetings within their respective nations.
In the Dragon Kingdom's command center, Gray Zone Commander Li Jianfeng was in his office discussing tactics with Legion Commander Liu Tianwei. Once everyone confirmed they had no questions, they prepared for battle.
During a brief moment when they were alone, Liu Tianwei curiously asked, " Commander, I noticed you seemed unfazed by the recent incident where Lu Ziye's team encountered danger while attacking the Beast Nest. Given that the other two foreign assault teams met their demise, how can you be so confident that Lu Ziye survived?"
Li Jianfeng shook his head and replied, "What is the greatest characteristic of our Dragon Kingdom warriors on the battlefield?"
After pondering for a moment, Liu Tianwei responded, "They don't engage in battles without preparation and avoid unnecessary risks. Their primary focus is on stability."
"Exactly," Li Jianfeng continued. "So do you really think I would send Lu Ziye's team without any arrangements? Ha! There’s a Level Soul Talent among them, a Mechanic who serves as a guardian. Ensuring Lu Ziye's survival was not an issue; what surprised me was that Lu Ziye didn’t just escape—he fought his way out!"
"Indeed, it seems you had contingencies in place," Liu Tianwei acknowledged.
"Not only that," Li Jianfeng added, "the situation is more complex than it appears. We have clues suggesting that those high-level Mechanical Beasts were likely summoned by the Western Alliance themselves. This is truly a desperate ploy; they sacrificed two of their own assault teams just to eliminate Lu Ziye."
"What?" Liu Tianwei was genuinely taken aback by the depths of the Western Alliance's treachery.
"There's nothing strange about it. If the Western Alliance had someone like that, we in the Dragon Kingdom would do the same because we all understand that if the extraterrestrial battlefield stabilizes, there will inevitably be a confrontation between the Dragon Kingdom and the Western Alliance. Lu Ziye could very well tip the scales of victory in our favor; his current trajectory of development has already exceeded our expectations." A smile spread across Li Jianfeng's face as he spoke about Lu Ziye.
"But Commander," Liu Tianwei interjected, "if the Dragon Kingdom and Western Alliance completely fall out, what will happen if they abandon their responsibilities? The Dragon Kingdom cannot bear the burden of a war zone operation alone; that's simply impossible."
"When you say 'abandon,' you mean that the entire Western Alliance would give up on fighting in this war zone and let everything fall apart, leaving us to fend for ourselves," Li Jianfeng replied. "This is also why there are constant conflicts between the Dragon Kingdom and Western Alliance; despite frequent skirmishes, we still cooperate on the battlefield because if either side falters, the current stability will collapse in an instant."
Li Jianfeng chuckled lightly. "At present, we indeed cannot shoulder such a burden alone. However, the Dragon Kingdom has a long history; this kind of stalemate has played out countless times before. We have methods to break through it. Have you ever heard of the Dragon Rising Legion?"
Liu Tianwei's eyes widened in shock. "You mean that even their lowest combat power is at Legendary Talent level? The strongest legion of the Dragon Kingdom?"
Li Jianfeng nodded. "Yes, go now. You don’t need to know too much—just hold your position at Setting Sun Canyon."
"Understood!" Liu Tianwei responded eagerly and left with a noticeably lighter step. His previous worries faded away; he realized he had been overthinking things. The Dragon Kingdom had capable strategists at work, and he decided not to fret unnecessarily in the future.
At Setting Sun Canyon, Wan Mecha gathered as they prepared to defend this crucial pass where Lu Ziye’s legion was stationed. This time around, a Mecha Corps had been mobilized for the ambush at Setting Sun Canyon, with Li Jianfeng serving as both Legion Commander of Mecha Corps and commander of this operation.
At that moment, he addressed everyone on the battlefield with clear instructions: "Each Mecha Corps has received their defensive positions at the pass. You are to immediately occupy your designated areas. Remember, not a single Mechanical Beast must pass through! The Mecha Corps is a mobile unit; if any pass comes under pressure during combat and requires support, you must rush to assist immediately to maintain overall balance."
"Yes!"
At this moment, Lu Ziye was confronted with an astonishing sight. The Setting Sun Canyon was immense, stretching a kilometer wide and extending far beyond the horizon.
According to the data, every time the Beast Tide occurred, the Mechanical Beasts from the northern direction would inevitably pass through this location. There was only one entrance here, but it had an exit, making it crucial to guard this narrow pass.
Before long, battles would erupt across various locations. The Gray Zone Elite Assault Team would launch a major offensive while the other allied legions were responsible for intercepting the Mechanical Beasts and providing cover for the attacking forces.
If these interception points failed to successfully block the Mechanical Beasts, the Mecha Corps would face additional pressure, and the situation on the battlefield would gradually spiral out of control.
Lu Ziye observed that at the eighth pass, Guardian Mechas were lined up and ready, firmly blocking the entrance. Behind them was the Raider Mecha Legion, a significant number of units, with Lu Ziye being one of them.
Further back were the Roarer Mechs, which had already readied various long-range strike weapons. Once a large number of Mechanical Beasts appeared ahead, they would be among the first to open fire, boasting the longest range.
Lu Ziye had now reached Level Energy Intensity, and his weapon's range was impressive as well. The effective range of his Level Six Linked Energy Railgun was a kilometer.
