Not long after, countless drones flew out from the fleet and the war fortress. These drones had a certain degree of combat capability, especially in terms of mobility, but their main purpose was to investigate, so their stealth ability was also special. These drones were all upgraded from the previous Ghost drones. At the same time, they also had the ability to jump and transmit information over long distances. They were small drones that were specially developed for wide-area or in-depth investigation. The control system was not some kind of super AI, but it was just a normal AI.
The densely packed unmanned reconnaissance drones that flew out of the various battleships and war fortresses were not few in number. It could be said that they were densely packed. After flying for a certain distance, they drilled into the FOLD tunnel one after another. They briefly made some rather conspicuous movements, but soon disappeared without a trace. They directly teleported to the designated location through the FOLD and lurked or patrolled to observe the situation. With the spread of these unmanned drones, at least for a long time, the Burning Legion would not be truly deaf and blind in this solar system.
Not long after the drones left, the reconnaissance team that went to the moon ahead of them sent back a message, confirming that there was nothing unusual on the far side of the moon. Then, the entire fleet began to jump. The huge fold tunnel entrance appeared in front of the fleet, and after all the warships and war fortresses entered, it slowly disappeared, and then reappeared on the far side of the moon.
The far side of the moon, the side that was always facing away from Earth, was the most typical dark place for Earth. With such a huge fleet and war fortresses appearing here, Earth did not even notice the slightest sign, completely unaware that a terrifying force that could suppress the entire Earth had fallen on their heads.
After coming out of the fold jump tunnel, Xiao Ran stood up from his seat, put his hand on Mary's shoulder, and said, "I'll leave this to you. Renard and I will take some people to Earth first, keep in touch."
"Okay." Mary nodded and turned to look at Xiao Ran, "How many people do we need to take down, and do we need to make any special preparations?"
"There's no need for that for the time being. It's not appropriate to make too much of a ruckus when we go down this time. We need to investigate the situation on Earth first, contact various forces, and find a ship to go down with us." Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "In terms of personnel, Renard, El Erf, Kane, Xinye, and I will lead some intelligence agents and landing fighters."
"If you don't mind, I would like to go and take a look." Cruzet walked over and said, "Why don't we bring Bassac along as well? Since we don't want to make too much of a ruckus for the time being, we have to consider what might happen if we don't pilot the body."
Bassac was still dozing off when he suddenly heard his name. He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran innocently.
Xiao Ran looked at Cruzet and Bassac, nodded, and said, "Okay, in that case, you and Royal Sword Mingye can come with me."
The Imperial Sword Mingye, who had not appeared for a long time, once again got the chance to appear. As Ceng Jia's disciple and Xiao Ran's bodyguard, the current Imperial Sword Mingye also possessed decent strength. Even without piloting a mech, he still had considerable combat power. If something happened on Earth, he would be of some use.
Of course, if something really happened, it would not be to that extent. Generally, the landing force would be more than enough. That was the landing force of the Burning Legion, a team with standard man-made Tiegaman armor. It was enough to fight against an AS alone. If something bigger happened, they could directly teleport the body from the back of the moon. Now that the Burning Legion had mastered a certain degree of space technology, even if they brought the body, it would only be a very small storage terminal. There was no need to consider the safety aspect at all.
The main purpose of going down this time was to contact and investigate the situation on Earth, and then confirm the next step. When the time came, more people might be sent to Earth.
The matter was settled, and the people who were named began to prepare. El Erf and Cain would be the main force of the preliminary investigation. Of course, it would not be just the two of them. Selecting a group of professional, qualified intelligence personnel was a must. It did not take long for an intelligence team composed entirely of demon envoys to be selected by the two of them. The group, together with the sufficient number of landing force members, transferred to another small Macross class battleship, left the fleet, and began to fly towards Earth in stealth.
Everyone who transferred, including Xiao Ran, received a 'gift' from Law, a custom-made Tegaman armor. In fact, Xiao Ran's Tegaman armor had been custom-made for a long time, but it had never been used. So did Imperial Sword Mingye. If there was anyone who did not have one, it would be Xiangyu Xinye. As for the intelligence team and the landing force, they already had their own armor, but it was just a standard mass-produced version.
Xiao Ran and Cruzet's Tegaman armor emphasized firepower, El Erf and Cain emphasized speed and strangeness, Bassac and Imperial Sword Mingye's armor emphasized close combat ability, and Renard's armor was made by him. Unlike the others, it had a lambda system, and other aspects were more balanced.
In order not to cause panic and chaos on Earth, Xiao Ran and the others first interfered with the satellites, then landed on the sea, and finally landed on the ocean.
In the bridge, Xiao Ran looked at the silent Renard and asked, "Renard, what are your plans?"
"First, I have to confirm how much the current situation on Earth has changed from when we left. I'm going to find the people who came into contact with the Amalgam and reclaim the power of the Amalgam for my own use. Mithril … No, Tessa, I'll leave it to you to contact. Then, I have to determine if there are any intruders on Earth."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Who do you want to cooperate with you?"
Renard glanced at the people in the bridge and said, "Cruzet, Cain, Bassac, I'll take another landing force."
"Okay."
Cruzet and Cain were very suitable to deal with the Amalgam with Renard. As for Bassac, he was purely a force representative. As for the current situation of the Amalgam, Xiao Ran and Renard didn't even think about the Amalgam's current situation. The Amalgam was like the Hydra in the Marvel world, it was not so easy to completely destroy them. Even if Xiao Ran gave them a disaster when he was in this world, the Amalgam's power had long penetrated every corner of the world. How could the Amalgam be completely destroyed? Xiao Ran's departure gave them a chance to breathe, and as long as they had this opportunity, they could develop again.
The situation of the Amalgam must be very complicated, and it was not clear what it had become. With Cruzet and Cain assisting Renard, it would be easier for the two guys to arrange the Amalgam from top to bottom.
Renard and the others were on the Amalgam's side, but what about the situation at the Mithril? Renard asked Xiao Ran to contact the Mithril because he didn't know how to face his sister, but at the same time, he also knew that with Xiao Ran watching over Tessa, Tessa would definitely not be in danger. Finally, Renard understood his sister, and letting Xiao Ran go could relieve Tessa's lovesickness.
Renard didn't stay on the battleship for too long. After some preparations, he, Cruzet, Cain, and Bassac brought some intelligence personnel and a landing force. When the battleship approached an uninhabited coastline, they directly left under the cover of the night. Without any nonsense or reluctance, they quickly disappeared into the night.
"El Erf, collect relevant information from the Internet and see if you can contact Mithril."
El Erf nodded and began to operate. Xiao Ran sat on the seat below the captain's seat, thinking about the next step.
First, it was necessary to contact Mithril. In the case of an intruder in this world, it was a priority to contact Mithril and confirm Tessa's safety. This was for Renard's sake. The information obtained from Mithril would also be more accurate than the information obtained in a short period of time. Besides, Xiao Ran also needed to determine the location of Chidori Yao, find Chidori Yao, and take control of her.
At the same time, Xiao Ran was also thinking about what the intruder would be this time. The intruder that appeared in world 0079 before was somewhat unexpected, but also seemed to be reasonable. After all, Idian did have a special entanglement with world 0079. But what about the All-Metal Tsunami world? What kind of entanglement did this world have with?
If it had to be said, there must be a lot. After all, the All-Metal Tsunami series had also included a mech battle. The mech battle V that had been experienced before, and the mech battle J that had become the territory, were all like this. Could the intruder possibly come from such a world? If this was the case, then the probability of the intruder appearing was really too high to count.
"I've contacted them."
Xiao Ran looked up at El Erf. "What's the situation?"
El Erf said without looking back. "I've contacted Dan Nu's Son. They've requested a video call."
"Put it through." Xiao Ran nodded and then looked at the front of the bridge. A virtual screen suddenly appeared. The figure displayed was Tessa, who had the same silver hair as Renard. The Tessa in the screen was a little different from the Tessa in Xiao Ran's memory. Her young face had matured a little. Although it was not much, it was more obvious. She had also grown a little taller.
Tessa's expression was a little excited. She crossed her hands in front of her chest. Her eyes seemed to cross over from the other side and stared straight at Xiao Ran. "Mr. Xiao Ran … is it really you?"
Xiao Ran stood up from his chair and smiled. He was calmer than Tessa. "It's me. Long time no see."
Tessa was just about to smile, but she suddenly froze. "Your eyes … your eyes?"
Xiao Ran smiled. "It's just a small problem. It won't affect anything."
Liu Gino did not appear on the screen. He stood aside and looked at the girl on the screen. Renard's appearance naturally appeared in his mind. He tilted his head and chuckled. Then he looked at Xiao Ran with a smile on his face. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
Tessa nodded gently without blinking. She was silent for about a few seconds. Suddenly, her expression became serious. "Mr. Xiao Ran, I hope I can ask you for help."
Xiao Ran frowned. "What's the matter?"
El Erf turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran. He tapped on the keyboard in front of him a few times. Suddenly, Tessa's screen shrank and several different screens popped up. All of these screens showed the situation of the battle. The protagonists that appeared were all huge monsters on one side, and the other side was the AS of this world. There were even some MS airframes and transformation fighters that flashed several times.
As for the first video, the time indicated was the current time. Similarly, several gigantic monsters were engaged in a battle with the AS, MS, and shapeshifting fighter squads.
When Xiao Ran came to this world, Mithril had mastered the technology related to MS and transformation fighters. It was not surprising that they would appear in this world. As long as there were participants in the world, most of the world would have some messy changes. It was normal for these airframes to appear in this world. It was just that the level of technology was relatively backward.
Xiao Ran's gaze fell on these monsters that appeared. Most of these monsters looked like dragons. Xiao Ran frowned tightly. He felt a little familiar, but also quite strange. They were not monsters he had seen before, but it seemed that there was a flash of impression in the depths of his memory.
Black, gold, gray, and something like a gorgeous gem on their body. He always felt a little familiar, and they were definitely not the original products of this world.
Not only Xiao Ran, but everyone in the bridge looked at the screen made by El Erf. At least now they knew what kind of things the intruders were.
Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "This is?"
When Tessa heard Xiao Ran's words, a look of understanding flashed in her eyes. She said, "We call these monsters dimensional beasts. They don't exist in this world. Half a year after Mr. Xiao Ran disappeared with Renard, this dimensional beast appeared for the first time. That time, it brought about extremely serious consequences. Until now, one or two dimensional beasts appeared in the beginning and were in their initial form. About a year and a half has passed since then, and they have evolved into multiple forms."
"Now, all the countries have united to eliminate the dimensional beasts together, but until now, we haven't found any pattern for the appearance of dimensional beasts. We only know that when something like a dimensional door appears in the sky and on the ground, it's when these monsters appear."
"Dimensional beasts." Xiao Ran pondered for a moment and nodded. "I got it. El Erf, confirm the location. Captain, prepare for the FOLD jump."
