"If you can promise me these things, then we will accept your invitation to join your army." "You don't trust us, and we don't trust you either. We've already expressed our sincerity, so I hope to see your sincerity as well. Even if we're no match for you, we can at least delay you for a while. This mission is your main mission, right? If the ship and the two mechs are destroyed or taken back, it won't be a good thing for you, won't it?" Aeschi said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll regret it.
"Heh." Xiao Ran chuckled. He did not take Aeschi's threat to heart. If he were to put himself in Aeschi's shoes, even he would have made the same choice as Aeschi. Besides, Xiao Ran sincerely wanted to invite them to join his army, so he would not overreact to Aeschi's words. Furthermore, Xiao Ran was quite satisfied with Aeschi's ability to calmly weigh the pros and cons and make the appropriate decision in such a short time.
Therefore, Xiao Ran did not say too much. He simply nodded and agreed to Aeschi's reasonable request. "I agree to everything you said, and I will also fulfill all my promises. However, you must remember that I am not agreeing to your request because of your threat just now. I am not worried that I will not be able to complete my mission. Even if the battleship is destroyed and the two mechas are recaptured, as long as I want to, those two mechas can fall back into my hands at any time. Do you understand?"
Aeschi was silent for a moment before he said, "I understand."
While Xiao Ran began to revise the details of the army's invitation and write new terms and conditions, Aeschi's team of four also began a new conversation.
Harvey, who was ranked fourth from the beginning, muttered, "Are we just going to agree to his request? Are we just going to sell ourselves to that army that knows nothing?"
"In order to gain his trust, this is necessary." Baines, who was the calmest of them all, said in a deep voice, "We've already made our choice. Now, we're just adding more chips to this choice. Furthermore, someone who entered this world with us but is already so far away from us has the ability to make us make a decision."
"Baines is right. A person who can become a B-grade pilot in such a short time is definitely not that simple. Moreover, once we start fighting, who can guarantee that the four of us will be able to defeat the opponent? The opponent was able to defeat the four of us when we were at the same level. Now that he has become a B-grade pilot, if we exchange our lives for the possibility of defeating the opponent, Harvey, would you be willing to do so?"
"Who would want to die?" Harvey said loudly in dissatisfaction. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "I just think that it's too easy for that guy. It's obvious that he didn't do anything and yet he took in four underlings. This kind of thing is too hard to accept."
Aeschi also sighed slightly. He did not use his usual scolding tone. Instead, he said with a sigh, "This is Prometheus. The strong are respected. Only the strong have the right to speak and more resources. But we don't have that, so we can only follow the path of the strong and continue to move forward. Harvey, how come your character hasn't changed at all after experiencing so many worlds? If you're still like this, maybe one day you'll suffer a big loss because of your character. "
"I know, big sister. I won't cause you any trouble." Harvey said in a low voice. He sat in the cockpit dejectedly with a helpless look on his face.
It was not too difficult to modify the details of the invitation and add Aeschi's requirements in the form of a text so that the invitation would satisfy the needs of both parties. In less than a minute, Xiao Ran had finished modifying all the details under the invitation. Once again, he sent the modified invitation to Aeschi's group of four. After about a minute, the four of them chose to join the Burning Legion.
"Participant number 6524, Harvey, C-grade pilot, agrees to supplement all the details and join the Burning Legion."
"Participant number 2240, Schuman, C-grade pilot, agrees to supplement all the details and join the Burning Legion."
"Participant number 1343, Aeschi, C-grade pilot, agrees to supplement all the details and join the Burning Legion."
"Participant number 1536, Baines, C-grade pilot, agrees to supplement all the details and join the Burning Legion."
After hearing these four consecutive notifications, Xiao Ran opened the Burning Legion's management page to take a look. However, even though Xiao Ran was the Commander of the Burning Legion, he could not see the detailed information of the four people. The only information he could see was the basic information of the Mech, the type of Mech, the level of Mech, and the name of the Mech.
In the personnel information, he could only see the participant number, pilot level, the direction of their first specialization, the number of world missions they had experienced, and their contribution to the Burning Legion.
Compared to Xiao Ran's calmness, the four people of Aeschi were both surprised and happy when they looked at the Burning Legion's information. They were surprised that the Burning Legion was so small. Including them, there were less than sixty people, and it had only been established for a short period of time. Furthermore, most of them had just joined Prometheus. This meant that the Burning Legion did not have any foundation at all.
They were surprised that even among the newcomers who had only completed one world mission, there were already many C-grade pilots, and there were even four B-grade pilots. A newly established Burning Legion that had only been established for the second world mission had not yet ended. Under the circumstances of having less than sixty people, there were already four B-grade pilots, and the remaining half were C-grade pilots. Even if the Burning Legion did not have much foundation, it still showed that this Burning Legion had great potential.
Furthermore, what really surprised the four of them were the two faction territories in the Burning Legion's list of territories. Of course, they knew about faction territories, especially Aeschi who was very concerned about the Burning Legion's information. The reason why she worked so hard to have a B-grade pilot in her team was naturally to be able to lead the entire team into a good Legion. Of course, it would be even better if the Burning Legion had a faction territory that could provide them with great help.
Even if B-grade pilots were not as good as A-grade pilots, they could still take on the role of the main combat force in a good Legion. The strength of a Legion did not depend on how many A-grade pilots there were. After all, in order to become an A-grade pilot, one needed to accumulate enough special evaluations before they could be promoted. This meant that it was not easy to become an A-grade pilot, and it was also destined that A-grade pilots would always be the real high-end strength. Therefore, in Prometheus's current situation in the real area, B-grade pilots were the real mainstream combat force.
B-grade pilots with enough potential would definitely become the core talents of a Legion. They would also receive some resources and help from the Legion. For example, they would receive help from the Burning Legion in their faction territory, and use less war merit points to obtain more time to stay. Of course, they could also use their current status as C-grade pilots to join a Legion. However, the key was that C-grade pilots could not really join a Legion that had a faction territory. Even if they could find a Legion that did not have a faction territory, under the premise that Prometheus had a terrifying number of C-grade pilots, what could they use to gain the attention of the Legion's higher-ups?
However, they would never have thought that a newly established Legion, in addition to having four B-grade pilots, would actually have so many C-grade pilots. These were participants of the same level as them. What was even more unbelievable was that this Legion that had not even been established in two worlds actually had two faction territories. This was probably something that even a large Legion could not do.
At this moment, they finally understood what the generous reward Xiao Ran had mentioned meant. To be able to join a Legion that had two Legion Territories as C-grade pilots, this was definitely not because Xiao Ran was lucky to have recruited four subordinates. They were the ones who had really hit the jackpot. One faction territory represented infinite possibilities. What about two?
More importantly, this Legion was a newly established one. Once they joined at this time, once the Legion grew up, they would definitely become the veterans of the Legion and receive more resources than the other members of the Legion.
Aeschi seemed to see a day in the near future where all four members of his team had become B-grade pilots. They piloted B-grade mecha and completed one mission after another with the help of the Legion. In the end, they would become the core strength of the Legion and become powerful A-grade pilots. They would lead countless subordinates and happily fight in one world after another until they left Prometheus and returned to their true home, ruling the world like a queen.
The four of them were still in shock. They did not notice that Xiao Ran had already fired the signal flare to inform the Gadi Lu to retreat. It was not until Xiao Ran spoke again in the communication channel that the four of them were woken up. "Let's go."
Baines was the first to react. At this time, he already knew that the person who had invited them to join the Legion was the Commander of the Burning Legion. Since he had entered Prometheus with them, he had the ability to establish his own Legion, grow into a B-grade pilot and obtain two faction territories. This man was completely worthy of his sincere respect. After hearing the two words "Xiao Ran", Baines also very respectfully replied, "Yes, Sir."
The reason why Baines did not use the title of Legion Commander and instead used Sir to address Xiao Ran was that other than the genuine recognition and respect in his heart, the title of Legion Commander was actually not suitable to be used in the mission world. After all, these three words were too directional. If it was heard by the natives, it would cause some unnecessary doubts.
