The arrangements to enter the All-Metal Tsunami world were urgently delayed for seventy-two hours. Those who originally did not want to go immediately arranged their work and joined the expedition team. They brought along all kinds of necessary resources and new equipment to the war fortress, instantly increasing the size of the fleet by several times. There was no need to mention the number of personnel. They were fully equipped for a full-scale battle. The fact that they brought along the war fortress transformed from the Dyson Sphere was enough to explain the problem.
The appearance of an intruder in the mission represented a threat, but conversely, it also represented benefits. Defeating the intruder would definitely result in a cross-regional mission card. It went without saying how much benefits a cross-regional mission card would bring. Xiao Ran's use of the regional mission card twice brought great benefits to the Burning Legion. And that was only a low-level mission card. Now that the legion was carrying out a mission at the scale of the legion, they would definitely be able to obtain rewards that were suitable for the legion. Moreover, the rewards given by the mission itself were quite good.
They couldn't give up on this mission just because it was difficult, and they couldn't give up because of the unknown. In a place like Prometheus, if they couldn't face the difficulties head-on and have the courage to fight, the Burning Legion wouldn't have been able to develop to their current level so smoothly. Of course, Xiao Ran's crucial role in this couldn't be ignored. Xiao Ran had the foresight to avoid the path with the highest risk and the lowest reward. However, most of the time, didn't she also carry out the mission with considerable risks? Needless to say, the others didn't.
And now, they had to use the All-Metal Tsunami world mission card. There was only one chance. If they missed it, they would miss it forever, and they would miss the entire world. The uniqueness of the All-Metal Tsunami world was very important. Even though Xiao Ran and the others had mastered a more reliable world-crossing technology because of Luo Zeng's lucky hand, it was possible for them to travel between different worlds under the same phase. But after all, that was a completely different concept from creating a new world. If they could thoroughly understand the ins and outs of the All-Metal Tsunami world, perhaps the Burning Legion could create another Prometheus. That would be simply invincible.
The two newcomers, Corgi and Seleus, as well as their former subordinates, were so excited at first that they wanted to pilot their new mecha and go on a killing spree in the mission. But it did not take long for them to become dumbfounded. All the teams were reorganized into squadrons and brigades, and some people they did not know were added to their respective warships. Then, from the main force of the mission, they were directly demoted to the regular combat force of the mission. Well, they were still the more ordinary regular combat force, becoming soldiers in the hands of others.
The series of unforeseen events made their fragile little hearts skip a beat. It was simply too exciting. Not only did the importance of their existence in the fleet plummet, but the higher-ups were all big shots with A-Class strength. They, the participants, instantly became existences at the bottom of the food chain. Even if those who would command them did not have A-Class piloting abilities, they definitely had commanding abilities that exceeded A-Class. With a group of big shots above their heads, they could only tremble in the shadows of those big shots, obediently keeping quiet.
There were just too many big shots in the Burning Legion. The number of high-end combat forces added up from several worlds was just too terrifying. An A-Class came, an A-Class came, an A-Class came, an A-Class came, an A-Class passed, an A-Class passed … Wow, what was that thing that seemed to be flying across the universe naked? Was that still a f * cking human? Oh right, that wasn't a human. That was Tegaman, a group of Tegaman.
In the Burning Legion's bridge, Xiao Ran, who had arrived a few hours earlier, sat on the commander's seat above. Beside him was Mary's captain's seat. Her seat was slightly ahead of Xiao Ran's, which was also to indicate that the captain's seat in this bridge was different from the previously empty bridge. Now, every seat was already occupied. Everyone was wearing headphones to record and report all the work of the entire fleet.
A young girl wearing a new unified black uniform walked to Mary's side and handed the electronic document in her hand to Mary. Then, she nodded and smiled at Xiao Ran.
While Mary was looking at the contents of the electronic document, Xiao Ran looked at the girl who nodded and smiled at him. Somewhat surprised, he asked, "Flay, why are you here?"
"Teacher." Flay lightly bit her lower lip and smiled with a bit of embarrassment. In fact, she wasn't a young girl. However, due to the special technology of the Burning Legion, she looked like she was only 21 or 22 years old. While wearing the unified uniform, she didn't lack the mischievousness and cuteness of a young girl.
"I have never relaxed my high standards for myself. I have been studying tactical command and ship coordination every day. This time, I will be acting as Captain Mary's adjutant. Teacher, you wouldn't disagree, right?"
Xiao Ran glanced at Mary. Mary nodded without raising her head. "She has passed my test. At the very least, in my opinion, she has completely passed. Right now, Flay also holds the rank of major in the military. Previously, she had also obtained the top few positions in the internal command competition. She also has a deep understanding of various aspects of combat. Acting as the adjutant of the Burning Legion isn't a problem. She doesn't need to be able to take charge here either. As long as she can coordinate the various aspects of work, it will be fine."
"Heh." Xiao Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "All right. Since Mary has agreed, I will naturally not refuse."
"Thank you, teacher." Flay smiled and bowed slightly. "Then, I will go back to work."
After looking through the things in her hands, Mary placed them to the side. She turned to look at Xiao Ran and said with a smile, "Besides, we don't know how long this mission will last. From what I know, many little fellows have brought along their girlfriends."
"Aslan? Kajali?!" Xiao Ran suddenly thought of something and his eyebrows twitched slightly.
"Kajali isn't here. However, Meiling's little girl is acting as the CIC on the other ship." Seeing Xiao Ran's expression, Mary also felt that it was somewhat funny. She said, "Besides, what do you think Kajali is? At the very least, that Kajali of yours, who is more or less like an adopted daughter, is very sensible and mature."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled. He did not say anything. The Kajali of Seed's world had indeed changed a lot. After all, she had been influenced by him for such a long time and had come into contact with so many things. It was not right for her to still be as silly as before.
Mary said, "All right, all the necessary preparations have been completed. It is about time for us to set off."
"Everyone, get to your positions." Xiao Ran nodded. His expression became slightly more serious.
Mary picked up the telephone beside her and said, "Inform everyone to get to their positions. In ten minutes, our fleet will set off for the mission world."
The ten minutes of preparation was not a long time. After saying a few words, it was over. The mission card that had been completely changed was once again in Xiao Ran's hand. Following the prompt in his mind, Xiao Ran chose to confirm. After the ten seconds countdown ended, the huge fleet disappeared from the Fleet World without a single ripple.
A familiar scene, a familiar feeling. When he opened his eyes again, the entire Burning Legion fleet appeared in the all-metal world. There was no need to elaborate on the mission requirements. Eliminating all intruders and ensuring the safety of the world would not be rebooted was the mission of the Burning Legion this time.
To ensure that the safety of the world would not be restarted, in Xiao Ran's eyes, this could only be considered an addition to this mission at most. It could completely point to the core and directly eliminate it from the source. As long as he grasped the Thousand Birds, it was equivalent to completing this condition. As the most special confidant among the whisperers, Xiao Ran really did not believe that so many spiritual big shots in his army could not suppress a consciousness that could be suppressed by the Thousand Birds alone. However, for many other people, this mission was quite inexplicable. There was no head, no tail, no root, and no source. Perhaps they really did not know how to complete it.
Not long after Xiao Ran woke up, the Burning Legion began to bustle again, and so did every ship in the huge fleet.
The first thing they did when they woke up was to confirm their current position. The entire fleet, including the Dyson Sphere, immediately activated the mirage system to hide their position. Concealing one's whereabouts was just a standard operation in combat, but its importance was needless to say, especially when there were intruders in this world.
It did not take long for their position to be calculated. The target of the mission was Earth, and the location where the Burning Legion appeared this time was not too far from Earth, nor was it considered to be out of the solar system. It was only because of the fleet's appearance that the location where they would appear would naturally be in the universe.
After confirming the location, the next step was to take action. However, they were not completely without consideration. After all, other than the intruders, the main purpose of this mission was to completely turn this world into the territory of the faction. With such a large space fleet and a war fortress, it was impossible for them to directly fly in the direction of Earth and casually land on the heads of Earth's residents. At least in the beginning, they had to at least hide the fleet's whereabouts and enter Earth to gather information.
However, this matter did not require too much time. There was the best place on Earth for the fleet and war fortress to hide without being discovered. The dark side of the moon was the most suitable place. Under the cover of the moon, it was too easy to hide a fleet from Earth, not to mention the mirage system could be used. Then, the fleet began to prepare for the jump. Of course, in order to not make any mistakes in the process, even if it was completely possible to calculate the location of the jump, they still first sent a few fighter squads to investigate.
Waiting was boring. After a few fighter squads flew into the fold jump channel, Renard, who had been maintaining silence in the bridge, showed a rare expression of anxiety. Although Renard used to have all kinds of problems, at least from the bottom of his heart, he had always cared about his sister Tessa. Moreover, Renard had completely changed his mindset. He was no longer bitter and resentful. Without the factor of suppressing his feelings, Renard had always been quite worried about his sister, especially this real sister of his.
Ever since he learned that there would be intruders in this world, Renard had always been a little anxious. He was worried whether something huge had happened to Earth at this time, what kind of situation Tessa was in, and whether she was safe or in danger. These were all hovering in his mind.
A few minutes after the fighter squad left, Renard suddenly stood up from his chair and walked towards Xiao Ran. This action attracted the attention of the people around him.
Renard stopped beside Xiao Ran expressionlessly. "We need to confirm the situation of Earth and the entire solar system as soon as possible. After that, we also need to confirm the current situation of Earth, including the Amalgam, Mithril, and all other forces. We need to collect as much information as possible for analysis, and then we can start to arrange for the territory."
Xiao Ran understood Renard's worries. He nodded and said, "Then, do you think we should start investigating the entire solar system now?"
Renard nodded gently. "We shouldn't waste time."
"Mhmm." Xiao Ran nodded and looked at Mary. "How about this? Send out the UAV force to investigate. The first step is to place the main investigation targets on other solar planets besides Earth. We will personally investigate Earth later. After confirming the situation of these planets, we will spread the UAV out to build a reconnaissance network and conduct factual monitoring of the entire solar system."
The solar system was very, very big. Establishing a factual monitoring network did not mean placing UAV in every corner of the solar system. Of course, this level of monitoring was impossible. This kind of monitoring was just placing UAV at the important nodes of the solar system for reconnaissance. Countless UAV would be connected to each other and cover a very large area. A single UAV would be responsible for a very large area of space, using reconnaissance equipment and measures to monitor abnormal situations in the solar system, and then respond to the fleet immediately.
There was no need to talk about this kind of monitoring, and it was definitely impossible to have a comprehensive factual picture. However, if there was a huge abnormal reaction, such as an energy reaction, a gravitational reaction, or a spatial reaction, they would still be able to receive it.
Mary looked at Renard and said, "I'll arrange it right away."
