The participants who followed Xiao Ran were also shocked by the sudden appearance of the mission. Then, they looked down at the city that was already in chaos. The first thought in their minds was to immediately follow Xiao Ran's instructions and quickly leave the city.
How could they accept that the mission would fail if they killed a hundred civilians? Facing the Federation Army's defense forces that were galloping towards them, they couldn't guarantee whether these defense forces would open fire above the city. So, the only choice was to quickly leave the city and shift the battlefield to the no man's land outside the city.
In the entire city, only the three S-class pilots, Xiao Ran, Beech, and Xiaya, stayed in the sky only a few kilometers away from the capital building. They just floated in the air silently without any movement.
Xiaya didn't know what was going on, but Xiao Ran and Beech were restrained by the mission warning that suddenly popped up.
In the capital building, the captain, whose face had completely darkened, clenched his fists tightly. His body was trembling, and his expression was extremely distorted. Even his eyes were red with anxiety. He was completely driven mad by the current situation and the mission.
"Xiao Ran! Burning Legion! "
"Ding, participant number 1440, you have joined the Earth Federation camp. Main Mission issued."
"Main Mission 1: Assist the Earth Federation in strengthening its control of the universe and eliminate the threat brought by the armband and the Bister family."
"Main Mission 2: Find and take back the Laplace's Box and stop the establishment of the United Human Federation."
"Main Mission 3: Ensure the Federation's rule over the Earth, eliminate the chaos, kill the target – the resurrected Guyon Aznable, and make the Federation gain the right to rule over Guyon."
"Warning, warning, this mission is not allowed to cause harm to civilians of any force. It is forbidden to cause serious damage to the Earth. It is forbidden to destroy space colonies. If 100 civilians are killed, this mission will fail."
"Punitive measures: Your camp has been locked to the Earth Federation camp. You are unable to change your camp in the remaining time of this mission."
The captain's entire body was trembling. He was clearly in a state of madness, but because of the remaining rationality in his body, he was able to keep his anger under control.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had suffered such a huge loss, nor did he know how long it had been since he was this angry. But all of this was only because of the Burning Legion, only because of a random attack by that participant called Xiao Ran. If this captain still couldn't confirm that Xiao Ran's real purpose for descending to Earth this time was to deal with them, then he wasn't qualified to be the captain of this team.
"Good, very good." The captain gritted his teeth and looked towards the direction of Raindragon God, wishing he could tear the Mech apart with his bare hands. However, he reminded himself to be rational and calm. In the current situation, even if he directly rushed towards Raindragon God, it would not solve the problem.
From the moment Xiao Ran decided to lead the team and descend to Earth, they were already in an absolute disadvantageous position. Moreover, it would be difficult to change the current disadvantageous position no matter how much effort they put in, let alone completing the three missions issued by Prometheus. Moreover, there was also the restriction of not sacrificing 100 innocent people.
The captain could completely understand this restriction. After all, if two S-rank pilots really fought on Earth without a care, he was afraid that after a day and a night, this Earth would turn into dust. Even if it didn't turn into dust, the humans on Earth would definitely be completely wiped out because of the battle between the two S-rank pilots.
The captain was also very clear about the current situation of the Federation. The inside was completely broken. Except for those who couldn't switch sides and could only wait to disappear with the Federation, everyone else who had the chance were all operating to become Xiao Ran's guides. Such a Federation had no cohesion at all. How could he restore this Federation to its healthiest state?
There was also that damned Laplace's Box. It was now confirmed that it was in the hands of the Burning Legion. Snatching something from the Burning Legion? Moreover, with the strength of a small team, he had to snatch it from so many injured participants?
What kind of joke was this? Was this even possible?
If the first two missions couldn't be done, needless to say, the third mission was even more impossible.
The key was that because of his deliberate delay, Prometheus had actually arranged a targeted punishment. He could either persevere and go to war with the Burning Legion. In the end, the local forces and strength were just decorations. In the end, it would still be up to his team and the Burning Legion to decide who would win and who would lose. It was clearly forcing him to go to war with the Burning Legion.
Or he could choose to fail the mission. Other than these two options, there was no third option for him to choose. And the one who blocked the third option was the Burning Legion.
Resist? Who knew what else the Burning Legion had arranged? Public opinion? What was the use of that in the current situation? Fight? Could a small team of a few people win against a group of dozens of participants? Rope them in? Who could he rope in now in this f * cking situation? Those participants who sought refuge with Xiao Ran? The Burning Legion was a golden signboard. Although the signboard had the blood of many participants, the participants under the protection of this signboard would be stupid to stand up against the Burning Legion.
Slowly, the captain calmed down. As an S rank pilot, if he couldn't master the ability to calm himself down, then he really couldn't be considered a qualified S rank pilot. He wasn't a super class pilot, the angrier he was, the stronger he was, and the more reckless he was, the more awesome he was.
Gazing deeply at the hovering Raindragon God, the captain clenched his fist and directly summoned his own Body from his inventory. Very abruptly, a Body appeared in front of the building. After that, the captain quickly jumped into the cockpit of the Body.
The sudden appearance of such a body made many people stunned, including Xiaya who was beside Raindragon God. He frowned and controlled the body to face the body that suddenly appeared.
Raindragon God also slowly turned around and faced the blue body that was only 20 meters tall, but he didn't do anything else.
"Xiao Ran."
A low and depressed voice sounded in Xiao Ran's ears through the full frequency communication.
Xiao Ran paused and turned on the full frequency communication. "It's me."
"You're good, really good."
Xiao Ran gently smiled. "Well, I've always been good, I know that. What can I do for you?"
"I lost this time. I really underestimated you, and even more underestimated your reaction speed and insidiousness." The captain suppressed his anger and said, "I thought that even if I couldn't become the final victor, I would definitely not become a loser. You taught me a good lesson and made me accept my loss wholeheartedly. I admire you."
"You're not a good opponent, no, being your opponent is definitely something that makes people angry and unwilling. You can't give me the carefree and tacit understanding that a real opponent can give, but I have to admit it."
"I admit my failure, so I decided to give you a gift at the last moment. No matter what, I don't want to give other people an enemy like you, an enemy that makes people feel sullen, helpless, and powerless."
After saying that, the captain controlled his body and rushed into the sky. Two strange-looking cannon-like weapons ejected from the shoulders. He turned around and faced the capital building. Then, one by one, more bodies appeared near the capital building and flew into the sky. Then, these bodies simultaneously launched attacks towards the ground.
The targets of these attacks were the Federation's capital building, the family strongholds of some die-hard members of the Federation, and some particularly important institutional buildings.
After the Mechs attacked, the entire city was engulfed in a sea of fire. Of course, only the places that were attacked turned into a sea of fire. However, the impact of the Mechs' attack quickly spread to the entire city. There were definitely more than a few hundred people who were affected by the Mechs' attack.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment. "You?"
"As a gift, at least let me clean up this last trouble for you. Consider it as my sincerity."
After leading his team members to do these things, the captain seemed to have vented his anger. After making a choice, his whole body relaxed a lot. After replying to this sentence, he directly led his team members into the sky without saying a word and quickly disappeared from Xiao Ran's sight.
"Not simple." Xiao Ran looked at the disappearing figure on the screen and narrowed his eyes slightly. Xiao Ran really had the intention to kill all these people here, but because of the mission restrictions, he stopped. However, he did not expect the other party to be so decisive and directly choose to kill them to end this mission.
But Xiao Ran did not chase after them because the other party's mission had been declared a 100% failure. What was the use of chasing after them? The other party could leave this world at any time because of the mission failure. Even if he chased after them, he would probably only see air. Moreover, Xiao Ran had to accept this face. The other party's actions could be said to have given them too much face. Xiao Ran was a little doubtful whether he had eaten the face fruit or if Burning Legion had become so awesome.
Although it was a little disappointing, Xiao Ran couldn't help but admire the other party's decisiveness and choice. This was definitely a shrewd person, a true shrewd person. Previously, he had controlled a team to prevent them from coming into contact with the faction. But now, he had first admitted his failure and took the initiative to leave. Although it was a little sullen, the way he left gave him a lot of face. Moreover, he had also forced Xiao Ran to give up on pursuing them.
Xiao Ran suddenly admired that guy a little. He had the means and temperament, and he did not lack the necessary decisiveness and directness. This kind of person was really not simple. The key was that he was very rational.
The team leader chose to do this at the last moment because he had no other choice, but it was also the only way he could break out of this situation. What else could he do if he could not win? Only a fool would do something like that.
But he did not say anything harsh. No matter what he thought in his heart, he still calmly communicated with Xiao Ran in the end. He did not say that they would fight in the future. He did not say that if this time did not work, there would be a next time. He also did not say that he would take revenge on Xiao Ran. This was a very rational and smart action. It was also a very responsible action.
He did not force himself to have a deep hatred with Xiao Ran because of a mission. He did not cause the two Legions to fight to the death because of a mission. He did not pull his Legion into a war with Xiao Ran's Burning Legion because of a mission. On the contrary, because of his last action, he gave Xiao Ran face. At the very least, he could get a chance for both sides to interact and communicate in the future.
Because of his rationality, because of his own control, although this mission failed, it was very likely that he would be able to form a connection with the Burning Legion. Regardless of whether they could become allies in the future, and regardless of what their relationship would become in the future, at the very least, he used his actions to give his Legion a chance to have a good start with the Burning Legion. Although the mission failed, there was a possibility that he could obtain more.
This time, he gave Xiao Ran face by not resisting and choosing to fail. When he returned, Xiao Ran would definitely give him face. Who could say that his mission this time was really a failure if he was able to establish a relationship with the most mysterious Legion in the real area?
This was definitely a good opportunity that could not be obtained even if he paid 10 million battle achievement points. This person was really smart. His words were telling Xiao Ran that he had no intention of becoming an enemy, and a gift meant that he hoped to become friends. In the worst situation, not only did he break through it, but he also found a new opportunity. If he was not a smart person, not a rational person, not a person who could not hold back his anger, and not a person who did not have a long-term vision, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.
So Xiao Ran really felt that he somewhat appreciated this guy, but appreciation was appreciation, and it was also a fact that he had no interest in him.
"Xiaya, Biqi, I'll leave this side to you. I suddenly feel a little bored." Xiao Ran released the hand that was controlling Raindragon God, allowing Raindragon God to control his own body. He only said in the comms, "I'll take my people back first. After that, you can arrange everything by yourself. If you can't make the decision, come and find me."
"Let's go, Raindragon God."
Raindragon God rushed into the sky, and Xiao Ran's team followed suit. They broke through the atmosphere and returned to the universe. This mission … was really boring. Xiao Ran thought that this team would resist for a while and find something to do later on. He thought that this team would fight back a little and then find something to do later on. He thought that this team would be evenly matched, and then he would feel a sense of accomplishment by burying the opposing team in a pit.
"Are the S-rank pilots in the real area already so rational? Has the Legion's influence in the super area unknowingly become so big? The enemies they met this time chose to retreat because they met me, but what about the others? There will always be participants who are not rational enough, and then what kind of choice will they make? "
