(Yizui has been updating two chapters in the past few days, and he hasn't stopped. The chapter two days ago was actually two chapters, but Yizui didn't split it into two chapters. The word count is correct.)
For Xiao Ran, choosing not to join Mithril and completing the second mission as an independent was inevitable. After Mithril rejected his proposal, the various bases scattered around the world would inevitably be targeted by the Evil Faction, especially the Amalgamate. They were obvious targets for them to attack.
Under the leadership of the Amalgamate, an organization that did not follow common sense and was ruthless in their methods. They did not care about the past and did not take into account the character of their recruits. Dealing with the arrogant Mithril was a piece of cake. As long as they launched an attack on all the bases of Mithril at the same time, Mithril would suffer heavy losses in the blink of an eye.
Judging from the Amalgamate's behavior, it would be easy for them to gather a group of truly powerful fighters and recruit participants who had combat power beyond this world.
On the other hand, the Mithril faction had always felt that they should hide under the surface of the water. Upholding justice, they also had strict requirements for themselves. Even the recruitment personnel strictly followed the inspection system and the recommendation system. For the participants of the justice faction who did not know much about this world, there was almost no real direct contact with Mithril.
Xiao Ran was able to cooperate with Mithril because of his understanding of this world and Mithril. Participants of the Evil Faction who were biased towards justice would generally be more prudent and prudent when faced with problems. They would also maintain a certain attitude when dealing with problems. Speaking of which, they would be somewhat restrained and wouldn't be able to do as they pleased. This way, they wouldn't be able to attract too much attention from Mithril.
In this way, the Amalgamate's strength would be infinitely magnified, while Mithril would gradually become weaker compared to them. Mithril's rejection of Xiao Ran's proposal was equivalent to rejecting their own future, leaving the enemy with the best opportunity to destroy them one by one.
As a participant, Xiao Ran naturally didn't have any reason to join Mithril at this time and under such circumstances. Facing the inevitable destruction with them would only bring trouble to himself. Xiao Ran could totally choose another partner to achieve his goal.
Langba came back not long after he left. When he came back, he brought along the person Xiao Ran wanted him to find, Tessa.
At this time, Tessa's expression was a little tired and lonely, but when she saw Xiao Ran, she forced a smile. "You're looking for me?"
"Yes, have a seat." Xiao Ran nodded. After glancing at the situation in the small room, Tessa sat in her original seat and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ran didn't cut into the overall situation at the beginning. Instead, he asked, "How's the situation on your side?"
Tessa shook her head and smiled helplessly. "It's still not working. No matter what, they're not willing to give up the current base and evacuate. The area involved is too large, and the consequences are too great. They'd rather believe that they can stop the war between the two sides than take the huge risk of evacuating. Maybe nothing will happen, and tomorrow will be fine."
Xiao Ran shook his head. He didn't know what to say to those guys at Mithril's top management, but Xiao Ran understood their concerns. After all, once they moved, it would be a huge matter for Mithril. There were countless things that needed to be transported, and if nothing happened, they would have to waste manpower and resources to transport them back.
Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't know. Do we really have to move? Even if we don't move, as long as the other bases are careful and increase their vigilance, isn't it the same?"
Tessa couldn't figure out why Xiao Ran wanted them to move, and why he was so sure that Amalgamate would attack Mithril. Amalgamate alone wouldn't be enough to make Mithril retreat. Those countries that had a good relationship with Mithril wouldn't necessarily attack Mithril like Xiao Ran said.
"It doesn't matter whether you move or not. To be precise, you've wasted too much time. You don't have time to do this now." Xiao Ran sighed slightly, then said, "Amalgamate's plan is to eliminate Mithril, the organization that poses the biggest threat to them. For this, they will pay a lot, and all the investment will be repaid after they destroy you."
"According to reliable sources, I believe that Amalgamate will soon start to target you. I think they will act in many ways at the same time, including attacking your bases and important facilities, turning you into terrorists, and so on. If you trust me, it's best for you to order all the people in America to evacuate and move everything that can be moved to the Son of Dan Nu."
Tessa's face showed signs of struggle and hesitation. Xiao Ran continued, "Apart from this, I think our cooperation ends here. Although we have a certain degree of cooperation with Mithril, it doesn't mean that we will face destruction with you. As for you and the Son of Dan Nu, I can give you two choices."
"First, you take the initiative to cooperate with me, then we will take over the Son of Dan Nu in a peaceful way. The following actions will be carried out according to my instructions."
"Second, you refuse, and I will take control of the Son of Dan Nu by force. In the following situation, I will need a mobile base to serve as my logistical support, but I don't want to go to this step. After all, forcibly taking control of you doesn't mean that you will gain my trust."
Speaking of this, Xiao Ran looked at Tessa biting her lower lip tightly, then shook his head slightly and sighed, "I can also give you a third choice. We will leave here and find other partners. No matter what happens to you, it will have nothing to do with me. However, I will take those captives with me. After all, they are my people."
When Law heard Xiao Ran's words, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Ran. He seemed to understand Xiao Ran's idea. Instead of forcing Tessa to be the bad guy here, it's better to let Tessa take the initiative to come to them after encountering an unsolvable situation. At that time, they will be able to gain the other party's sincere trust and full support.
Tessa gritted her teeth and looked up at Xiao Ran, "Can I think about it?"
Xiao Ran knocked on the armrest of the chair and said, "Alright, but the evacuation operation on Merida Island must begin now. Before that, we need to borrow the equipment on the Son of Dan Nu to perform maintenance on our airframe. If you still haven't given us an answer after the maintenance, then please prepare a transport helicopter for us, is that okay?"
"Okay." Tessa nodded decisively, stood up and left in a hurry. In the current situation, she could no longer make a decision alone. She must discuss it with Richard and Kalinin.
Law also heard what Xiao Ran said. After nodding, he walked out of the room with Little Hachi. Before going out, he said to Langba, "You come too. If you are strong enough, you can also help me with some physical work."
Xiao Ran gave Tessa some time to consider. Firstly, he thought that the Shapeshifting Mech and the Demonic King Mech needed to undergo some maintenance. After leaving the Son of Dan Slave, he might not be able to find a suitable partner in a short period of time. In that case, he might as well restore the mech to its most perfect condition before leaving.
Second, after all, the second main mission had just been announced. Even if some participants were ready to act, the Amalgam's arrangements could not be started immediately. But Xiao Ran could be sure that as soon as the second main mission appeared, the whole world would quickly become chaotic.
Those participants were restricted for several months. Now that the restrictions were lifted, they were like mad dogs that had been released. They did whatever they wanted without any scruples. It would be strange if the world did not become chaotic. When the individual ability surpassed the team ability, and the combat power of the participants surpassed the ability of the world's local army, then the participants would no longer be restrained. Fighting and destruction would become the real main theme.
The room suddenly became a lot quieter. Xiao Ran also directly laid on the bed and closed his eyes to take a nap, thinking about the next step of the plan in his mind.
"Choosing a new partner is a must. The Soviet Union and the United States are out of the question. The Amalgam has too much influence in them. Even if they are strong, they will not meet the requirements of cooperation."
"A country must have its own industrial power. It would be best if they could build an AS independently. England, Germany, Turkey are all good choices. Japan, which is more familiar, is also good." (In fact, the best choice is of course the Great Celestial Empire, but I dare not write about the situation in Quan Jin. Not only Quan Jin, I dare not write about everything. I will just treat it as a blank space on the map.)
"In addition, when the Amalgam attacks the Mithril Federation, we can take advantage of the chaos to collect the remnants of the Mithril Federation and steal their important equipment, materials, and so on. Not only the Mithril Federation, we can also do the same to the Amalgam. Rob their things and rob their people. But if there are only four of us, we can't take too much each time, so the existence of the Son of Dan Nu is necessary."
