(Taking half a day off for the weekend. I wish everyone a happy holiday!)
Under Rara Durai's lead, the group had finally arrived at the Pool Tribe. This place had yet to suffer from the flames of war. However, it was obvious that the entire tribe was filled with anger and fear.
Not only was Mu Sen here, but Elder Guang Yao and the chiefs of the surrounding tribes were also here. However, when everyone saw Wang Zheng and Lan Ling, their emotions immediately became agitated.
"Shameless humans, you still have the cheek to come!"
"Kill them!"
Instantly, the crowd was agitated. Some people even started throwing things. Wang Zheng and Lan Ling had already expected such a situation. If it was them, they might have done something even more outrageous.
Rara Durai stood in front of Wang Zheng and allowed the things to hit him. Along the way, they had seen the miserable state of the destroyed village with their own eyes. Let alone Rara Durai, the anger in Wang Zheng's heart had already accumulated to a boiling point.
"Elder Mu Sen, fellow compatriots, Ada and Miss Lan Ling are here to help us. They are not in cahoots with those people."
Rara Durai had really matured a lot. Under such circumstances, he could still control his emotions.
Mu Sen raised his hand and signaled for everyone to be quiet. Mu Sen looked at Lan Ling and said, "Miss Lan Ling, please answer a question of mine."
"Elder Mu Sen, please speak."
"I know that this attack was initiated by the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. However, why didn't the Lan Family do anything? I remember that we are allies and have been friends for hundreds of years." Mu Sen hit the nail on the head. Although his expression was calm, Elder Mu Sen's trembling wrinkles were obviously restraining his anger.
The Wise Ones were different from the giants. They understood humans very well. This was also the reason why they had always maintained an ambiguous relationship with humans. It was because humans did not keep their promises like them.
The people of Tita were not afraid of battle or death. Even if Tita Star was destroyed, it would be fine as long as they had tried their best. However, the betrayal of someone they had always trusted had indeed made them angry.
Quibble? Cover up?
Lan Ling really did not know what to say. This was because the people of Tita had a natural trust towards the Lan Family since young. What she had heard was the hundred years of friendship between the Lan Family and the people of Tita. However, the truth had told her that what her uncle had been talking about was actually not worth mentioning.
Looking at Rara Durai's trusting gaze, Lan Ling made a decision.
Lan Ling bowed deeply, "Elder Mu Sen, I express my deepest apologies for the Lan Clan's cowardice and submission. I know that this can't be redeemed with just a few words. I, Lan Ling, am here today to say that I will fight with everyone until the very last moment. Even if it means death, if you believe me, then give me a chance. If you don't, then kill me and I won't complain."
Lan Ling spoke resolutely. An explanation was a cover up, but a cover up was still the truth. She only knew why she was here. It was because she felt that what Lan Jiang did was wrong.
Disregarding feelings, even if it was the truth, allying with the Commerce Organisation was akin to asking a tiger for its skin. The Lan Family was on Tita Star and would be nothing once they left this place. However, the Commerce Organisation only treated this place as a gold mine and would leave once they were done digging.
Perhaps she wasn't mature enough, but she had made her own decision. She wanted to fight alongside the people of Tita.
Wang Zheng maintained his composure and quietly observed the reactions of the people of Tita.
To be honest, would a few words be of any use?
However, Elder Mu Sen smiled. Although there was a tinge of sadness in his smile, "Lan Ling, you are a friend of the people of Tita. We, the people of Tita, would never betray our friends!"
"Elder Mu Sen, the situation is rather critical. I wonder what countermeasures you have come up with?" Wang Zheng asked straightforwardly.
"The people from the Commerce Organisation have belittled the people of Tita. Even if we have to fight to the last man, we will still protect our home." said Mu Sen.
"We have already mobilised tens of thousands of warriors. We will let these greedy humans know how strong we are." said Shan Yue.
Wang Zheng frowned. Only this much? He had thought that there would be at least hundreds of thousands. It seemed that not all the people of Tita could participate in the battle.
"Chief Shan Yue, what you are seeing now is only the vanguard of the robots. Frankly speaking, with the financial resources of the Commerce Organisation, such a force can arrive continuously. You should gather more strength. From what I know, you shouldn't only have so many warriors."
Mu Sen smiled bitterly. Elder Guang Yao, who was at the side, shook his head and took a look at Lan Ling. "The attacks and betrayal of the humans had caused the other tribes to lose confidence. Moreover, as Elder Mu Sen had always been close to the humans, the other tribes had already given up on us. They felt that the Kamla region was the source of the war and would not spread further."
Wang Zheng was stunned. … Was he lying to himself or was he just being silly and naive?
Mu Sen could see Wang Zheng's doubts. "The truth was that the tribes of the people of Tita did not form a unified leadership due to the differences in customs and various aspects."
Mu Sen explained. … The problems that existed between the humans were the same for the people of Tita. One could imagine that the Pool Tribe and the Ling Shan Tribe belonged to the same region and would also have endless disputes.
"Could it be that the Elders Guild was unable to make a decision?"
"The 8 Great Elders are more focused on strengthening communication and not allowing the people of Tita to have a large scale war. However, we do not have the authority to command." explained Elder Guang Yao.
Wang Zheng's heart sank. The situation was more difficult than he had imagined. For the news to ferment, it would take quite some time for everything to go smoothly. However, if the people of Tita had already been annihilated during this period of time, everything would be useless.
"Elder Mu Sen, the situation now is very dangerous. The Commerce Organisation wants to completely turn the Tita Star into an uninhabited mining planet. Our process of joining the Milky Way Alliance was obstructed by them. I know the bravery of the Tita warriors. However, all of you have seen it for yourself. Those robot troops were just some machines and could be produced continuously." said Lan Ling.
This had also caused the people of Tita present to be worried. They knew the capabilities of the humans. A war that would never end was something that they couldn't bear.
If there was a choice, no one would be willing to be destroyed.
"Miss Lan Ling, do you have any ideas?" asked Mu Sen.
"There is only one idea currently. To defeat the bandits, first capture the ringleader!" said Lan Ling.
Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. He had roughly understood Lan Ling's thoughts. This was probably the only way.
"I would like to hear the details."
"Wang Zheng had already used other methods to spread the news of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation going against the Milky Way Alliance's constitution. However, forming a proposal and submitting it to the Milky Way Alliance would require time. However, the Blue Star Commerce Organisation wouldn't give us this time. Our only way would be to concentrate our superior military strength and directly attack the headquarters of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. As long as we occupy that place, we would be able to disrupt the follow-up of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. This would buy us precious time!"
Said Lan Ling.
"Moreover, this way, the casualties of the people of Tita would be reduced to the lowest. The war against the Kamla region was just a tactical exercise. Once they felt that it was feasible, the largest scale attack would begin!" said Wang Zheng.
If the people of Tita could give the strongest counterattack at this moment, the Blue Star Commerce Organisation would evaluate the gains and losses. This was the style of the businessmen. Therefore, they had to give a fatal blow.
Wang Zheng had also gradually grasped the context of the entire matter and the methods of the Commerce Organisation.
"The warriors of our Ling Shan Tribe are already prepared to die!" said Shan Yue.
Lan Ling shook her head. "These warriors aren't enough. There are only two things that I can do now. The first is to find a way to locate the headquarters of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. Such a huge robot army would definitely require a control headquarters. The second is Elder Mu Sen. You guys have to send a few thousand warriors to me. I know of a Lan Family armour warehouse. Although there are only over 10,000 pieces, it would still be of great help!"
Mu Sen's eyes lit up when he heard this. They only had a few hundred pieces of armour. It would still be alright on a small scale. However, it would be completely useless in a large scale battle. However, if they could equip over 10,000 giants, it would be a completely different matter.
Clearly, this was Lan Ling's personal decision.
"What do we need to do then?"
"Elder Mu Sen, Elder Guang Yao, the people of Tita have to unite. This attack has to land a hit. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Just relying on our military strength here wouldn't be enough. We need the people of Tita to unite!"
Said Wang Zheng. He was very clear about the battle power of the Tita giants. He was even more clear about the military strength of the humans. These people would be wiped out before they could even reach the base. Once the main battle power was wiped out, Tita Star would really have no hope at all.
Mu Sen and Guang Yao looked at each other. Elder Guang Yao tapped his cane on the ground and said firmly. "I'll go and gather the Elders Association. No matter what, we have to work hard and fight for every bit of strength we can!"
"Then let's split up!"
"There's no time to lose. Let's set off immediately." said Lan Ling. "Wang Zheng, you stay here. It would be easier for us to contact each other."
Wang Zheng nodded his head. Clearly, the messengers of the various tribes wouldn't be far from the start of the war.
The entire Pool Tribe had been mobilised. At least Lan Ling's batch of equipment was the most urgent.
At night, Wang Zheng couldn't sleep at all. The new mech stood there alone. For the first time, Wang Zheng felt helpless. In the face of war, the strength of a single person was so insignificant.
Mu Sen walked over. "Can't sleep?"
Wang Zheng nodded his head. "Elder Mu Sen, how many people do you think we can gather this time around?"
Mu Sen shook his head and let out a long sigh. "Within the people of Tita, especially some remote tribes, they aren't willing to change. Coupled with the incident this time around, it's hard to say."
"Is there nothing that could unite the people of Tita? Has there never been a leader in the history of the people of Tita?" asked Wang Zheng subconsciously.
"There is!" Mu Sen's gaze became deep and distant. "Titan!"
This was the belief and ancient legend of the people of Tita.
"I heard Rara Durai mention it before. Could it really exist?"
"It's true. This is also the origin of our TitaTitan Star. Disaster has descended but the Titan didn't appear."
"How can we find the Titan?" asked Wang Zheng immediately. He wasn't superstitious. As long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely grab it.
"Every person of Tita can become a Titan. Only the Titan can return from the Abyss."
"Where is the Abyss?" Wang Zheng's eyes were bright. Actually, he had heard Rara Durai mention it previously. He didn't believe in the Abyss. However, the primitive tribes had some inexplicable worship. If this was a reason for them to unite, Wang Zheng was willing to give it a try.
"You want to go?"
"Elder, I'm willing to go with Ada!" said Rara Durai.
(Actually, I don't really want to talk to Xiao Wen anymore, but this guy asked me again, saying that he really understood. I asked him what he understood, and he said that the girl wasn't suitable for him, so he changed his target. The original girl was too gentle, and he liked the lively ones who loved sports. He himself is a special recruit for basketball, so Xiao Wen asked me for a suitable place for a date. I said that it's easy, we can go to Tashan Park to climb the mountains. The weather is good, the scenery is good, and the location is suitable. When we reach the top of the pagoda, we will feel relaxed and happy. So, I decided to trust him again and gave him the funds. This time, he was full of confidence and swore that he would get the girl in one fell swoop … I believe him ….
