“I want that brat Lan Ling. After I have played with her, I will leave this place.” Zarberg finished the red wine in his hand. He enjoyed this type of life.
Moore nodded his head and said, “It would be better to nurture a new power instead of using the Lan family. They would be more obedient. However, before everything ends, we have to continue with our acts secretly.”
In the research lab, w.a.n.g Zheng had received the news from the Red Fox. The Blue Star Commerce Organization had really made their move. Currently, there were over 10 Panama-grade cargo s.h.i.+ps that were transporting large amounts of combat robots and mercenaries into this place. At the same time, there were bombardment s.h.i.+ps which used physical explosions in place. From their equipment, it was clear that the Commerce Organization had started their preparations a long time ago. They had not intended for negotiations from the very start.
“How could they be so rampant? Isn’t there anyone who was in charge? Is the Milky Way Alliance dead?” Kong Zhan said angrily as he could not hold back anymore.
“The t.i.tat.i.tan Star has not entered the Milky Way Alliance. Although the Milky Way Alliance has a const.i.tution, with no one taking the initiative, who would have done so in such a situation? Even if human rights activists were to protest, it would be after the whole incident has ended. They would then naturally provide a series of reasons,” Ye Zisu said calmly with a sense of helplessness. She looked at Lan Ling as the Lan family had a greater say in it.
At this time, w.a.n.g Zheng’s Skylink rang again. An image was transmitted over. It was sent from the base where the Red Fox was at.
The girls who were present immediately turned around. Everything was burnt to ashes and the burnt corpses of the people of t.i.ta were everywhere. They might not even know what had happened.
Lan Ling bit her lip. Since the humans had migrated to this place, the people of t.i.ta had not objected to it but only chose to maintain a distance from them. Tribes like the Pool Tribe even provided aid to the early immigrants for them to build their homes till the discovery of the Super Gravity Energy Mineral.
“Captain, the existence of the Milky Way Alliance’s Special Action Team was to prevent such matters from happening, why aren’t we taking action yet?” Ate said.
The Red Fox was trying to hide her anger. She had fallen for it. The whole incident might be something that the Consul had arranged and she had become the scapegoat. This incident that happened would be the direct responsibility of the squadron leader. The Golden Fox and Silver Fox being so calm and cooperative was entirely a show.
Although the Consul would bear some punishment, what he would gain from it would far exceed the minor punishment he would have to bear.
The Red Fox had finally understood! She was no match for them in scheming. The key was that other than her own section, she couldn’t mobilize anyone else. As a soldier, there were things she adhered to. However… with the current situation, she had no rights to send her section mates to death.
“Lan Ling, what is the Lan family’s stance on this matter?” asked w.a.n.g Zheng.
“Grandpa…” Lan Ling gritted her teeth. She knew how much the people of t.i.ta had helped the Lan family. Including her ancestors, what the Lan family had now was because of the people of t.i.ta. They were smart and pa.s.sionate. Their only request in the development plan was to not have their home destroyed. They did not even make much requests in the benefits of the mining of the ore.
“What about you?” asked w.a.n.g Zheng.
Lan Ling was taken aback. “I’m on the side of the people of t.i.ta!”
Suddenly, everyone realized the atmosphere around w.a.n.g Zheng had changed drastically. In his eyes, one could clearly see killing intent. “These are only the vanguard teams of the Commerce Organization. We have to inform the people of t.i.ta as soon as possible. Zisu, please try your best to come up with a way to let the news out. What we have to do is to defend and hold our ground till we have a response from the Milky Way Alliance!”
As long as the news spread, the Milky Way Alliance would not allow such a matter that infringed upon the const.i.tution to continue. That would only cause the collapse of the rule of the Milky Way Alliance. We shouldn’t forget about the Atlanteans, Mayans, Ghanaians, and many others. There were many other strong races within the Milky Way Alliance.
Ye Zisu nodded her head decisively.
“Let’s split up. Lan Ling and I will go to the Pool Tribe. The people of t.i.ta mustn’t have realized the seriousness of this matter yet.”
“Martial law has already been imposed outside…”
“If that’s the case, we just have to kill our way out. Kong Zhan and Ate, I will leave the safety of the people here to the two of you,” said w.a.n.g Zheng.
“Rest a.s.sured!”
Rara Durai and the other giants still didn’t know what had happened. When they heard the situation from w.a.n.g Zheng, all of them let out an angry growl.
“Rara, you guys will follow me and charge out. Remember, don’t desire for a battle. What is more important now is to inform Elder Mu Sen. The situation is very grave.”
w.a.n.g Zheng said with a serious tone. His voice wasn’t loud but was like a low pitch cannon and caused the roof to tremble. This was able to calm the anger amongst the giants slightly.
w.a.n.g Zheng entered the new mech and left a giant behind to follow him. Luckily, there was giant battle armor in this place. If not, they might not even have had the opportunity to make it out.
w.a.n.g Zheng had originally wanted to bring only Rara Durai and Shan Meng along and leave the other four giants behind. However, they were unwilling to stay behind, no matter what he said. They would rather die on the battlefield when they knew that their own kind was suffering.
Death and war was glory to a t.i.ta warrior.
The humans within the cities weren’t clear of the situation outside. However, they still knew that war had begun.
A majority of the humans were against it. The immigrants of the t.i.tat.i.tan Star had been living here for a long time and enjoyed the peaceful environment around them. The key was that this was a war started by the Commerce Organization due to benefits. The ones who would enjoy the benefits would definitely not be them, and they would lose their homes once again.
However, the police was already out in full force. The whole city was under martial law. Combat robots were deployed in the main street. Anyone who was causing disruptions to the order would be arrested. Obviously, it would be in the name of safety.
Ison had always made sure that he had considered everything. He would not have done it if he had not made full preparations for it. If he was successful this time, not only he would be able to receive a large sum of remuneration, he would also receive 1% of the profits from the Super Gravity Energy Mineral.
It would be enough for his lifetime. He had no intentions to spend his entire life working as a consul on a barbaric star.
Everything was under control. These barbarians could only surrender under the artillery fire.
The small scale war had started. Without any exception, the tribes of the people of t.i.ta were all buried in the sea of flames.
The combat robots only cared about slaughtering, while some of the mercenaries were fond of torturing before killing. Mercenaries who were willing to take on such jobs were no different from pirates.
w.a.n.g Zheng was piloting the new mech and took the lead in rus.h.i.+ng out. There wasn’t anyone who could stop him in Lan Kao City. When dealing with his own people, he would not kill them. All he did was break the combat capabilities of the opponents’ mecha. The other party was only executing orders given to them.
Occasionally, these d.a.m.n orders were truly troublesome. This could be seen from his encounters. If one met a leader like Meng Ao, he would likely plead for leniency on his behalf. If it was others, they would have sacrificed w.a.n.g Zheng to appease the anger of Aslan or for benefits.
These emotions did not disappear but were hidden deep in his heart. If it wasn’t because of w.a.n.g Zheng and the others that gave him a reason to, w.a.n.g Zheng had felt that he would likely not be able to control these emotions.
However, the d.a.m.n Commerce Organization had nothing to do with him!
The new mech model was leading the way. Although it might not look great, its effectiveness was great.
The six giants followed behind him closely. The group had rushed towards the exit of the city and had not met much resistance. It was probably because not many people had the time to react to it. The order that the police force received was most likely to only maintain order.
After all, the conflict over the mineral reserves had been around for a long time. Everyone would have guessed that the Commerce Organization had made its move. They wouldn’t have thought that the giants were attacking the city, because if the giants wanted to attack the city, they would have done so over the last hundred years and there wouldn’t be a today.
When w.a.n.g Zheng brought Rara Durai across the streets, there were even cheers for them.
Rara Durai and the other giants’ expressions relaxed a little. They knew that it was the humans that wanted the mineral that had started the war.
However, only the Pool Tribe had made much contact with humans and therefore were likely to understand. The other people of t.i.ta might not be thinking the same way.
