"I knew their legion wasn't simple, this is a real pleasant surprise, haha."

Xiao Wen also laughed heartily.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Those idiots actually lost a Generation III mecha. Can you imagine how furious Aimaya is going to be?"

Chen Shan was laughing so hard he was almost crying.

"Being furious is a small matter, they might even start fighting with those idiots."

Zhao Shao was also laughing until his stomach hurt.

"Alright, enough laughing, let's talk business. What do we do with that Generation III mecha? That's the most advanced single-unit weapon right now, specially used for strategic and special operations. I remember we only have three of them, and they're all with the First Legion."

Jiang Hanqiu asked with a bit of a headache.

"Hanqiu, if you didn't mention it, we would have forgotten. Stop laughing, let's talk business. Shouldn't we recover that mecha? Or should we send someone to talk to them, and let them set whatever terms they want?"

Zhao Shao said very seriously.

Hearing this, Chen Shan quickly said, "That's not a good idea. After all, they snatched it. What would we look like asking them for it?"

"Chen Shan, it's not that simple. We're not trying to force them, but this weapon is strategic, so we should try to recover it if possible."

"I agree..."

...

Many people present nodded in agreement.

After all, they were acting for the greater good, wholeheartedly fighting the war. Other independent players, aside from a few enthusiastic ones helping them, were mostly focused on entertainment and making money.

The nature of the two groups was different. Although the Speaker had explained the situation, professional matters should still be handled by professionals. Others were probably just taking advantage of the situation.

At this time, Xiao Wen spoke up: "Personally, I think we should let it go. I think that mecha might be more effective in their hands. Besides, I don't think it's up to us to decide. The Council should handle it."

"Well, that's the end of that."

Zhao Shao and the others sighed. They had been hoping to get the jump on things and exchange for the mecha, but after Xiao Wen's words, there was no hope.

Inside the Speaker's office in the central administrative building of the capital, the Speaker wore glasses and flipped through forum posts, a kind smile on his face.

Tang Qin brought over a cup of hot tea and saw the Speaker browsing the forum, engrossed in it. She asked curiously, "Speaker, what are you looking at that's making you so happy?"

Just a few days ago, Tang Qin had seen the Speaker looking very worried about the previous battle's defeat.

The Speaker put down his phone and replied with a smile, "I saw a very interesting post."

"What post?"

Tang Qin became even more curious.

"The Shi Shen Guild had a Generation III mecha entrusted to them by the Freedom Victory Guild, and the Dawn Guild snatched it. Now the matter has been posted online."

The Speaker replied with a smile.

"This..."

Tang Qin also felt it was too absurd.

The Speaker smiled and replied, "Haha~ Doesn't it feel absurd? I'm telling you, reality is like this. It's not just miracles, but also absurdity. But this is a good thing."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock!

"Come in."

The Speaker replied calmly.

A small old man in uniform with a hooked nose and sharp eyes walked in, limping slightly.

Tang Qin quickly greeted him respectfully, "Li Ruiqi, Director..."

Li Ruiqi raised his hand to interrupt Tang Qin and said, "Now is the time of the Conquest Star Ring campaign. Don't use my external titles, call me Vice President!"

"Yes, Vice President Li."

Tang Qin replied respectfully.

Li Ruiqi walked up to the Speaker and said to him, "The war is pressing, and I need weapons, preferably weapons that can turn the tide. So I want to discuss with you about requisitioning that weapon."

The Speaker slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied, "Although weapons are scarce, be patient, they will come. The people below have finally achieved something, we should protect them and let them grow stronger, not cut them off."

"But isn't there no way to merge into one guild right now?"

Li Ruiqi frowned.

"As long as our hearts are together, we are teammates. Whether we merge or not, aren't we all our own people?"

"Alright."

Although Li Ruiqi was a little unwilling, he still agreed with the Speaker's words.

The Speaker turned to Tang Qin and said, "Let the people below know that no one is allowed to ask for that mecha in any way."

"Understood, Speaker."

Tang Qin nodded in agreement.

"Also, prepare a file for me with information on everyone involved in this incident."

The Speaker said with a smile. Nothing made him happier than discovering talent.

"Okay."

...

-----------------------------------------------------

Top floor office of the Dawn Group central building.

Ye Tian was on the phone, speaking respectfully to the person on the other end.

"Okay, I understand!"

"Don't worry, I know."

...

After a long time, Ye Tian hung up the phone. He slumped back into his soft chair, a look of extreme complexity on his face.

His eldest son, whom he had placed great hopes on, had not accomplished anything remarkable, while Ye Xue's actions were becoming increasingly astonishing.

Now even the higher-ups were calling to inquire about it, which was quite ironic.

At this moment, a very mature and beautiful secretary walked over and reported to Ye Tian in a low voice.

"President Ye, the young masters have arrived and want to see you."

"I'm not seeing them. Tell them to do what they're supposed to do. Don't stare at others all day long. If you have the ability, go get it yourselves. And anyone who tries to take what's in someone else's bowl will face the consequences."

Ye Tian said hoarsely.

"Understood."

.......

Inside Dawn City, Qian Chengxue jumped out of the mecha cockpit. Looking at the city she had built with her own hands, now completely destroyed, she felt a mix of emotions.

Sun Li walked over and said, head bowed, "Sister Xue."

"Is the rescue work finished?"

Qian Chengxue turned to look at Sun Li.

"Almost. There aren't many survivors, only a little over two thousand. Those people are just too evil, using poison gas bombs. Now over three-fifths of Dawn City has residual poisonous gas."

"I understand. Tell everyone to prepare to evacuate the city. It's time to abandon this place."

Qian Chengxue replied calmly.

"But..."

Sun Li's eyes turned red, and her voice became very choked up. She remembered how many brothers and sisters had died to take this city in the first place. Later, they had operated here for so long. Even though they were constantly bombed by the Shi Shen Guild, they had never thought of giving up. She never thought they would have to abandon this place now.

"Alright, we have to look forward."

Qian Chengxue comforted Sun Li instead.

"Okay, Sister Xue."

"By the way, what are the casualties of the support teams that came to help?"

Qian Chengxue then asked.
