With 50 teams, even if each team had an average of 5 people, there would still be a total of 250 participants in this world. This was more than double the upper limit of 100 participants for D and C grade newbies. This was only the lowest estimate, and the number of participants who would actually participate in this mission would only be more than that.
With so many teams appearing in one area at the same time, the possibility of bumping into each other was not small. At the beginning of the mission, a battle between the forces of Earth and the forces of Mars made Cruzet and the others start to decide which force to join. On one side was the lone Mars with only a few mecha, but it had the absolute strength to crush the mecha of Earth. On the other side was the Earth force, which had a large number of mecha, but their mecha weapons were extremely backward. They could not even pose much of a threat to the Martian mecha.
This was a battle of unequal numbers and strength. Cruzet was sure of the reason for this battle. He knew it when he was in the other world, but after returning to this world, he completely forgot about it. However, the reason for the battle was not important at all. Under the arrangement of the main mission, Cruzet and the others joined the Martian side with only a few mecha. Even if they wanted to join the forces of Earth, it was impossible because the battleship that could not be used was not on Earth at all. It was in the universe that was firmly controlled by the Martian forces. Even if it was for Mary, Sherry Dew, Bobby, and the other members of the battleship, Cruzet, Graham, Bassac, and Law, they had no choice.
In Cruzet's words, the Martian forces were blurred into the universe army. However, Xiao Ran, who knew the plot, knew the real situation. After the battle ended, because of the participation of the participants, the Martian forces that should have crushed the Earth forces were repelled due to insufficient strength. The forces that chose to join the Earth forces were more than three times the forces that chose to join the Martian forces. After these participants joined, the originally weak Earth forces suddenly had the ability to face the Martian forces head-on.
However, the fortress that fell from the sky caused the Earth of the other world to fall into chaos, bringing a disaster like a nuclear explosion. Countless people on Earth died in such a disaster, and it also caused the conflict between Mars and Earth to erupt again. Doomsday scenes appeared in many cities on Earth. Mars and Earth also started an all-out war.
Compared to the unity on Earth, after the participants on the Mars side joined the camp, they were once again divided into different individuals and cooperated with the indigenous groups on the Mars side. In addition to jointly fighting against the Earth camp, they were also in a competitive and semi-hostile state internally. They would even engage in battles and wantonly expand the sphere of influence that belonged to small groups on Earth.
Without the participation of Xiao Ran, Cruzet had no choice but to follow the dark path without knowing the plot. He sincerely helped the Martian faction. While fighting against the Earth army, he overthrew the native superior of his own faction and became a commander of the Martian faction. In fact, Kreutzer wasn't the only one who did this. Most of the participants who joined the Martian faction did the same. As a result, due to the differences between the participants themselves and the factions they joined, the Martian faction gradually became divided into two factions.
However, the difference between Cruzet and the others was that Xiao Ran had instilled in him the concept that peace was the ultimate goal of every mission. In the Martian faction that could be said to be divided into two factions, Cruzet also had a great deal of autonomy and privately reached an agreement with the Earth camp. After the final battle, he pushed a member of the royal family of the Mars camp to ascend to the throne of the emperor. After the mission ended, they also returned to Prometheus.
During the entire mission process, in addition to facing the technical strength of the Earth army that had greatly increased after the participants joined, they also had to face the various kinds of mecha of the participants. They also had to face the Martian mecha with strange abilities, such as the mecha that could absorb any attack, or the mecha that was densely packed with high-temperature mecha that could disperse light beams. Mecha that could vaporize live ammunition, such as the mecha that could launch floating punches that could vaporize anything it hit, also made Cruzet and the others rack their brains during the battle.
After Cruzet finished speaking, Xiao Ran used his own thoughts to deduce the development of the plot. He also roughly understood the process of Cruzet and the others during the mission.
According to Xiao Ran's speculation, the time when Cruzet and the others entered should be after the assassination of the princess' substitute in the plot. The inexplicable first battle that decided the faction of the Earth camp should be the revenge of some people in the Mars camp. After that, the huge fortress that fell from the sky was the Yanglu City commanded by the Martian Earls. The shock wave caused by the landing of the Yanglu City was no less powerful than the power of a nuclear bomb. The landing of 37 Yanglu Cities caused a large number of civilian and military deaths on the Earth side. It was enough to give the Mars camp a great advantage in the beginning of the all-out war.
However, although the Martian Earls with the Yanglu City belonged to the Martian camp, they had been at war with each other for almost 15 years. The Martian Earls, who had mecha that could cross the line between the real and the super system, had never put the Earth camp in their eyes. It was precisely because of their thinking and the long-term war between them that they did not take the Earth camp seriously. In the face of the Earth camp's active withdrawal, they continued to wage war on Earth. In order to occupy more territory, the conflict between them continued to expand.
Because of the addition of the participants, the plot should have started to deviate greatly at this time. The participants who could be promoted to the current medium difficulty level were not as stupid as the novice participants that Xiao Ran had encountered before. Naturally, they would try their best to obtain more rewards and advantages in the mission world. They would even fight for those mecha with special abilities and try their best to gain more say in the Martian camp.
Compared to the natives of the Martian camp, who were slightly restrained, the Martian camp was more like an alliance to the participants. Under the alliance was their own small camp. In other words, the participants of other small camps could be friends or enemies. Once a fight broke out, there would be no mercy at all.
And such a battle would also intensify the conflict between the Martian Earls. For the sake of the ultimate benefits, the conflict would continue to expand and be completely divided. On one side, there were the participants and Martian Earls who were strong enough to easily deal with the Earth camp's battle. On the other side, in addition to completing the main mission assigned by Prometheus, which was to deal with the Earth army, the participants and the Martian Earls who were loyal to the Martian royal family were united to deal with the internal strife.
This caused the battle on Earth to become more chaotic. Many participants seized the opportunity to become new Earls or commanders of the Earth camp.
When Xiao Ran thought of the war between the Martian Earls and the Martian Earls, the war between Mars and Earth, the war between the Martian Earls and the Earth camp, and the war between the Martian Earls and the participants, as well as the Earth camp participants, for the sake of obtaining the greatest benefits from the alliance, the word "chaotic" instantly popped up in his mind. It was simply a case of fighting and killing whoever they caught.
After all, Xiao Ran did not personally experience this mission. He could only guess what had happened based on the plot and Cruzet's words. But if Xiao Ran personally experienced this mission, he would not feel so confused. There would be no problem in sorting out a clear line and accurately distinguishing between enemies and comrades.
In short, the final outcome was Cruzet and his allies, a small part of the thirty-seven Martian Earls, several participant teams, and the Earth camp. The person who ascended to the throne of the Martian Emperor won the final victory. As for the other participants, some of them completed the three main missions and voluntarily gave up the other side missions and returned safely, while some were completely annihilated in that world.
And when Cruzet and the others returned this time, in addition to some equipment that they did not need and had put into the army's warehouse, Xiao Ran's warehouse also had special equipment from the Martian camp that was completely different due to the different systems. There were molecular conversion devices, explosive beam launchers, two recovered mechs, Ordicia, which originally had the ability to clone itself, and a mech named Dioscuri, which had multiple abilities, Dimensional Barrier, High-Explosive Beam Saber, and Rocket Fist.
In addition to these mechs and mech parts that Xiao Ran had seen in the animation, there were also things that had never appeared before.
There was a weapon part that could gather energy and shoot it as an arrow. The beam that shot out had extremely strong penetrative ability and super high speed. After hitting the target, it would trigger an explosion. As Cruzet said, although it was powerful, it consumed a lot of energy. It would take a long time to launch an attack. Otherwise, in addition to having a stronger penetrative ability than a beam rifle and being able to attack from a longer range than a beam sniper rifle, its power would not be as good as a beam rifle of the same level. The key was that the process of drawing the bow and releasing the arrow was much slower than the process of pulling the trigger.
Finally, there was something similar to a backpack. It could emit countless beams with tracking abilities and burst out high-explosive flashes to interfere with the enemy's vision.
All these things, except for a gold treasure chest that had not been opened and a large number of battle achievement points, were all the gains of Cruzet and the others from this mission. Although it seemed very little and most of them were mission rewards, under the attention of so many allies during the battle, and under the situation where it was not convenient to use the recovery ability, it was already a lot to be able to obtain these things. (To be continued.)
