With that in mind, I should choose higher-level missions in the future to speed up my progress.
After returning to the Blue Zone Joint Command Center, Lu Ziye first handed over the Combat Footage to Qiu Yuan, the Commander of the Dragon Kingdom here.
Qiu Yuan watched the footage and gasped in surprise, "Xiao Ming taught you to do this?"
"Yes!" Lu Ziye nodded repeatedly. He had mentioned Legion Commander Liu Tianwei during the recording out of fear of being scolded.
In the future, I need to be cautious. These three are quite famous, yet you slaughtered them like dogs. Although they deserved it, it seems I will inevitably have another argument with Commander tonight. I truly dislike those old fogies and don’t want to see them, Qiu Yuan shook his head.
I understand. As long as they don’t harbor any hostility towards me, I won’t take action. However, if they plot against me, I still believe what Xiao Ming and Legion Commander Liu Tianwei said: it’s better to strike first.
Right! Just continue doing what you think is right and quickly level up. When the time comes, Legion Commander Liu Tianwei will tell you more things. Also, I need to inform you that there has been a battle in the Black Zone; the Blue Star Joint Command Center barely won, but several top Master Mechanics were injured, including Legion Commander Liu Tianwei, Qiu Yuan said with a frown.
Lu Ziye’s face turned pale with shock. Even Legion Commander Liu Tianwei was injured? What kind of Mechanical Beast could be so powerful?
A series of questions raced through Lu Ziye's mind, but he didn’t ask. Whether it was Qiu Yuan or Xiao Ming, they never hesitated to share information with him when they deemed it necessary. Since they hadn’t mentioned it now, it must not be the right time for him to inquire further.
"Is the injury serious?" Lu Ziye asked with concern.
The mecha suffered significant damage and requires thorough repairs; he is also injured and resting. The Black Zone is not as simple as you think. Focus on your tasks; I'm sharing this with you just to give you a sense of urgency and power.
"I understand, thank you, Commander."
After bidding farewell to Qiu Yuan, Lu Ziye hurriedly made his way to the Mission Hall. The situation with Xiao Ming added a sense of urgency for him.
To grow stronger—only absolute overwhelming firepower can bring peace of mind.
This time, Lu Ziye directly chose a level mission area; level missions were still somewhat arrogant, as there was too much difference in energy levels—there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
The Mechanical Domain at this level could provide him with more Mecha Mastery Progress; if he killed a few more enemies, he could unlock the Mechanical Profound Meaning, which he looked forward to eagerly.
Once again preparing for departure, Lu Ziye felt in high spirits.
Meanwhile, at the Blue Zone Joint Command Center, whether it was Eagle Sauce or Sakura from A San Country, Commander sent a message to all Mechanics in the Blue Zone.
The message emphasized the importance of upholding a cooperative win-win philosophy in joint operations and prohibited any unfriendly actions towards foreign Mechanics.
As for what had just happened, they had suppressed it thoroughly; Bob and others' deaths were classified as combat losses.
Since there was only one incident where Qiu Yuan argued with them again over the irrefutable Combat Footage evidence, these people found themselves unable to voice their grievances.
Clearly, their own side had suffered losses while they had to swallow their anger instead. With skills inferior to others, they could only endure this humiliation; they were unaware that all Dragon Kingdom Mechanics held an unwavering belief: falling behind means getting beaten up.
In the Black Zone, at the Joint Headquarters, dozens of the most elite Mechanics gathered here. It was evident that this group was almost entirely injured, with many wrapped in bandages and receiving IV drips as they attended this crucial meeting.
An excited Mechanic from Eagle Sauce Nation stood up: "I oppose Xiao Ming's proposal. Launching a reckless attack on Resource Star is tantamount to signing our own death warrants! Last time, we only increased our occupation level, and we nearly lost control of the Blue Zone. From the current situation, our weakest point is definitely the defense of the Blue Zone."
"I, from Sakura Country, also oppose this. It’s too insane! Until our defensive forces at the Blue Zone Stargate are strengthened, we absolutely cannot launch another attack on Resource Star. Our last stroke of luck won’t happen every time."
"Whatever, you can oppose all you want. My Dragon Kingdom will launch an attack regardless. If you don’t coordinate your defenses, then we’ll all die together. I’m saying this now: tomorrow we will initiate war. The Blue Zone Stargate belongs to us, Dragon Kingdom. As for the other regions, you can defend them or not as you please." Xiao Ming sneered; he had never been one to coddle these people.
"You’re being unreasonable! If your Dragon Kingdom wants to die, don’t drag us down with you!" shouted an angry Mechanic from A San Country.
"Watch your words! Even though I’m injured, I can still crush you easily," Xiao Ming retorted. "You lot with your pig brains don’t even think about it—just as the riots in the Black Zone Abyss were just quelled, based on our previous experiences, when a riot in the Black Zone is suppressed, it’s the perfect opportunity for us to attack. The strength of Mechanical Beasts across various regions will decrease. If we don’t take advantage of this moment and seize the upper hand, when the next Black Zone riot occurs, do any of you have confidence that you can hold your ground? Look at the scale and intensity of this riot; if anyone here can step forward and guarantee they can defend against it, then I’ll take back what I said."
Xiao Ming's words left everyone in silence.
These strange Mechanical Beasts connected various battle zones and kept each other in check. Just as humanity had increased its occupation level at Resource Star, they had triggered a riot in the Black Zone—but thankfully it had been suppressed.
Among the Mechanics in the Black Zone, there were differing opinions. One Mechanic suggested that they should take a step back, while those represented by Xiao Ming believed in reciprocity: since the riot had been quelled, they should reap corresponding benefits; attacking was indeed the best form of defense.
Seeing that no one had anything more to say, Xiao Ming slowly stood up: "Tomorrow at noon we will attack. Watch how my Dragon Kingdom gives this damned world a little shock!"
