Chapter 1 The Beginning

To be realistic, Qiancheng Xue was still worried about how to repair the Helan, let alone develop it.

Sun Li, standing beside her, kept wiping her eyes, still somewhat in disbelief.

"Sister Xue, is this Bay Base really ours?"

"That's right, we'll have two large bases from now on."

Qiancheng Xue replied with certainty.

....

Inside the apartment, Su Mo lay on the bed, not asleep, flipping through the forum.

The forum had been extraordinarily lively recently, especially after the rules of the Earth Cup were announced, with countless posts springing up every day.

Su Mo patiently browsed these posts, needing to pay special attention to the overall trend.

Although they were just small figures, it was difficult to influence the overall trend. But to survive better, they had to pay attention to it.

Just then, an eye-catching post caught his eye: "Sensational News, Gods Fighting, Endangering the Fishpond."

Su Mo clicked in to take a look. The poster had uploaded a series of video clips. On the vast sea, nuclear-powered aircraft carriers fully loaded with carrier-based aircraft were sailing in formation, followed by escort fleets. Then, carrier-based aircraft took off in an orderly manner.

These carrier-based aircraft flew in groups towards a certain direction.

Before long, a swarm of fighters like locusts appeared on the distant horizon, and all the assembled carrier-based aircraft groups merged into it.

In the center of these fighter groups, a giant jamming aircraft with a disc on top was constantly releasing jamming sources.

Not long after, a giant strategic city appeared on the distant horizon.

These fighters successfully approached the target silently, without being scanned by the opponent's defense radar.

At this moment, four rounded fde-03 pulse fighters with metal-like tops detached from the fighter group. They emitted special pulses, paralyzing all nearby ground electronic equipment, including intelligent anti-aircraft weapons, on a large scale.

The next second, the approaching fighter group unleashed a barrage of missiles, firing them at the city.

Rumble~~

Explosive flames, accompanied by towering black smoke, shot into the sky.

In an instant, the huge city was reduced to a sea of fire. After a successful strike, the fighters turned around and left without saying a word, not giving the enemy a chance to retaliate.

This scene was not only happening in this city, but also simultaneously in several large cities, and these cities were basically unknown and lacked any special reputation.

However, specific information was still revealed by commenting players.

"Damn it, this is too much. The players from Country M are conducting precise surgical strikes against the Tianlong Guild, attacking all the major production areas, command posts, and strategic locations."

"Too shameless, ambushing like that!"

Su Mo carefully read the post, shaking his head. This battle was really fierce. Judging from the post, at least twenty cities and forty strategic locations had been subjected to large-scale air strikes, and the losses were incalculable. Moreover, the enemies were extremely cunning, shielding defense radars and other equipment, then launching a barrage from a distance, and then retreating!

By the time the combat personnel of the Tianlong Guild reacted, the enemy had already withdrawn.

Su Mo exited this post and carefully browsed the popular posts, only to find that the Tianlong Guild still had no response, as if their own cities had not been bombed.

"That shouldn't be."

Su Mo muttered to himself. If they were trying to keep a low profile before and didn't want to publicize it, now that the rules were out and the enemy was attacking them, there was no reason to let them get away with it.

Just then, someone suddenly posted: "Everyone, go to the Country M player forum section to see, shocking news!"

Su Mo curiously clicked on the other forum, and immediately saw a headline post.

"The Demise of Fimos Sky Base!"

Su Mo clicked in and took a look, his mouth twitching slightly. He thought to himself, courtesy demands reciprocity.

The largest Fimos Sky Base in the southwest of the Freedom Victory Guild, the official guild of Country M, was destroyed by the Tianlong Guild with a nuclear mine. The combat weapon responsible for dropping it was also photographed upon its return. It was a light blue Generation III transforming mecha, and the post included a short video clip.

The video showed an eighteen-meter-long fighter aircraft made entirely of blue rare metal, with canard wing configuration templates, vertically free-falling towards the ground. When it was close to the ground, designated parts of its fuselage extended into arms and legs, and at the same time, various parts of the body automatically folded, instantly turning into a very special mecha that landed, with very dazzling movements.

Su Mo looked at this Generation III mecha with a bit of envy. It looked like a good thing at first glance.

Unfortunately, such good things were destined to be very rare. It was estimated that even the Tianlong Guild didn't have many of them. After all, Generation II mecha were already difficult to obtain.

Su Mo closed the post and continued to browse the forum for one or two hours.

He then lost interest, as it was basically all flame wars. Because everyone was desperately attacking each other now, it was a complete mess.

Su Mo put his phone aside, turned off the lights, and rested.

....

Several days later, Su Mo, as always, was in a good mood as he entered the Dawn Group building, ready to go to work.

At this time, a message popped up on Su Mo's phone.

He opened it and found that it was a message in the WeChat group, and Qiancheng Xue had @ everyone.

"Latest Legion structure adjustment, due to a large number of personnel being specialized, production tasks have been reduced, so the logistics pressure has been reduced. In order to maximize resource optimization, after careful consideration, it has been decided to change the Twelfth Team from a logistics team to a combat team. As for the Legion's logistics, it will be borne by each team."

The group suddenly boiled over.

Zhou Qian was the first to pop up: "Great, we're finally official."

Tang Yao (Deputy Legion Commander): "Congratulations! Our Legion's strength is about to increase by another point."

Chen Meng (Third Team Leader): "Congratulations! Well deserved!"

Su Mo was also a little surprised that the Twelfth Team had been turned into a combat team.

Just then, Su Mo heard some members of other teams walking past, discussing the changes in the Legion.

"Did you see the notice in the group just now? The Twelfth Team has been turned into a combat team."

"I saw it. It was expected. The Twelfth Team has made so many contributions recently and has performed so well."

"I don't think so. Do you think it might be because of that Su Mo?"

"Maybe, it's a pity that such a great master didn't end up in our team."

"Okay, stop daydreaming. By the way, is that great master called Su Mo handsome? I haven't seen him in person yet."

"I don't know either. He should be handsome. I heard he's a very stylish uncle."

Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly as he listened, then he lowered his head and walked towards the elevator.
