Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

With Rara Durai leading the way, the group finally arrived at the Pool Tribe. The Pool Tribe had not been attacked yet. However, it was clear that there was anger and panic building up within the entire tribe.

Not only was Mu Sen around, Elder Guang Yao and the Chiefs of the surrounding tribes were also present. However, when the crowd saw Wang Zheng and Lan Ling, they immediately became agitated.

“Shameless humans! How dare you show your face here!”

“Kill them!”

Instantly, the feelings of the crowd ran high. Some of them even started throwing stuff at Wang Zheng and Lan Ling. Wang Zheng and Lan Ling had expected this situation. If it was them, they might have committed even worse actions.

Rara Durai stood in front of Wang Zheng and allowed everything to hit him. On their way here, they had witnessed the miserable situation of the destroyed villages. Disregarding Rara Durai, the anger in Wang Zheng had accumulated to a tipping point.

“Elder Mu Sen and fellow countrymen, Ada and Miss Lan Ling were here to help us. They are not the same as those people.

Rara Durai had really matured a lot to be able to still control his emotions in such a situation.

Mu Sen raised his hand to signal for everyone to remain quiet. Mu Sen looked at Lan Ling and said,” Miss Lan Ling, please answer my question.”

“Elder Mu Sen, please speak.”

“I knew that it was the Blue Star Commerce Organisation that had started this attack. However, why didn’t the Lan Family take any action? I remembered that we were allies and had friendly relations for over a hundred years.” Mu Sen had went straight to the heart of the matter. Although his expression was composed, his trembling wrinkles made it clear that he was also trying to restrain his anger.

The Wise ones were different from giants. They understood the humans. This was also the reason why they had maintained a lukewarm relationship with them. Unlike them, humans would not keep to their promises.

The people of Tita were not afraid to die in battle. They weren’t afraid of death. Even if Tita Star was to be destroyed, it would be alright as long as they had tried their best. However, they were truly enraged by the betrayal of the humans that they had always trusted in.

Quibbling? Covering up?

Lan Ling really did not know what to say. This was because the people of Tita had a natural trust for the Lan Family since she was young. What she had heard was also that the Lan Family had a friendship with the people of Tita that lasted over a hundred year. However, the truth now was telling her that what her grandpa had been saying was not worth anything.

Looking at the trusting gaze of Rara Durai, Lan Ling made her decision.

Lan Ling took a deep bow and replied,” Elder Mu Sen, I would want to express my deepest apologies for the Lan Family’s cowardice and yielding to the enemy. I know that my words would not be able to salvage anything. What I, Lan Ling, would like to say here today was that I would fight to the last moment with everyone even if I was to die. If you all could trust me, please give me another chance. If you couldn’t, I wouldn’t complain even if you wanted to kill me.”

Lan Ling said resolutely and decisively. An explanation would be the same as covering up. Even if she wanted to cover it up, it was still the truth. She only knew why she was here. This was because she felt that what Lan Jiang had did was wrong.

Disregarding relationship and considering only the truth, allying with the Commerce Organisation was equivalent to asking the tiger for its skin. The roots of the Lan Family were on Tita Star. If they leave this place, they wouldn’t be anything. However, the Commerce Organisation would only treat this place as a gold mine and would leave after excavating.

She might be acting immaturely but she had made her own decision to fight together with the people of Tita.

Wang Zheng had remained composed and looked at the reactions of the people of Tita queietly.

Truthfully, what could a few words do?

However, Elder Musen smiled. Although there was some sadness in his smile, he replied,” Lan Ling, you are a friend of the people of Tita. The people of Tita would never betray our friends!”

“Elder Mu Sen, the situation is rather pressing. Would you happen to have come up with a countermeasure?” Wang Zheng asked directly.

“The Commerce Organisation had underestimated the people of Tita. We would fight to protect our home even if it meant for us to be fighting till the last of us.” Mu Sen said.

“We had already mobilized over 10 thousands warriors. We would let these greedy humans knew about our strength.” Shan Yue said.

Wang Zheng frowned. There was only so little warriors. He had originally thought that there would at least be several hundred thousands. It seemed that not every single person of Tita was participating in the battle.

“Chief Shan Yue, what you all are looking at was only the robotic vanguards. Frankly speaking, with the financial strength of the Commerce Organisation, they could send endless supplies of such units. You should try to gather more strength. From what I know, there shouldn’t be so few warriors.”

Mu Sen forced a smile. Elder Guang Yao who was at a side shook his head and took a look at Lan Ling. “The attack and betrayal by the humans had caused the other tribes to lose their confidence. Moreover, Elder Mu Sen had always been close to the humans. The other tribes had abandoned us. They believe that the Kamla region was the source of the war and wouldn’t spread outwards.

Wang Zheng was stunned... Was this self-deceiving or were they too silly and naïve?

They could tell the doubts that Wang Zheng had. “The truth was that the tribes of the people of Tita did not have a universal leader due to the differences in culture and other aspects.”

Mu Sen explained... The problems that existed between humans were also present between the people of Tita. One could tell from the endless disputes between the Pool Tribe and Ling Shan Tribe which belonged to the same region.

“Couldn’t the Committee of Elders make the decision?”

“The purpose of the 8 great Elders was to strengthen relationships and prevent large scale internal war between the people of Tita. We did not have any right to command each other.” Elder Guang Yao explained.

Wang Zheng’s heart sank. The situation was direr than he had thought. For the news to spread and everything to proceed would also take some time. However, if the people of Tita were exterminated during this time, nothing would be left.

“Elder Mu Sen, the situation now is critical. The Commerce Organisation was intending to completely convert Tita Star into an uninhabitable mineral Star. The progress to join the Milky Way Alliance was also obstructed by them. I know about the bravery of the Tita warriors. However, you should have seen that these robots are mass produced goods, destroying them wouldn’t really mean much.” Lan Ling said

This was also what made everyone around worried. They knew the capabilities of the humans. A war that would never end was also something that they couldn’t endure.

If there was a choice, no one would hope to be destroyed.

“Miss Lan Ling, did you had a plan?” Mu Sen asked.

“There is only one way currently. That would be to capture the ringleader first in order to capture his followers!” said Lan Ling.

Wang Zheng’s eyes lit up. He could roughly understand Lan Ling’s way of thinking. This was probably the only way out.”

“Go on.”

“Wang Zheng had already leaked the news about the Blue Star Commerce Organisation going against the Milky Way Alliance Constitution through other methods. However, it would take time to form a proposal to be submitted to the Milky Way Alliance. The Blue Star Commerce Organisation would not give us this time. Our only way was to gather our elite soldiers and attack the command centre of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation. Once we have occupied that place, we could disrupt the following plans of the Blue Star Commerce Organisation and gained valuable time for us!”

Lan Ling said.

“Moreover, this could help reduce the casualty count to the lowest. The war on the Kamla region was only a tactical exercise. Once they feel that it was doable, the largest scale attack would also commence!” said Wang Zheng.

If the people of Tita could provide the most unyielding counterattack at this moment, the Blue Star Commerce Organisation would start to assess their gains and losses. This was the innate style of a businessman. Therefore, they had to quickly deliver the fatal blow.

Wang Zheng had started to understand the entire matter’s connections and the ways the Commerce Organisation did things.

“The warriors of Ling Shan Tribe had made the preparations to fight to our death!” said Shan Yue.

Lan Ling shook her head. “These warriors would not be enough. What I can do now is one of two things. One of them was to find a way to determine the location of the command centre of Blue Star. Such a large robotic army would definitely require a control headquarters. The second thing would be for Elder Mu Sen to send a few thousand warriors to me. I know about where the Lan Family’s battle armour warehouse is situated. Although there are only over 10 thousands sets, it would still be a great help!”

Mu Sen’s eyes lit up after hearing it. They only had a few hundred battle armour. It would only be enough for a small scale war. If it was a large scale war, it would be completely pointless. However, if they could equip over 10 thousand giants, it would be a different matter.

Clearly, this was Lan Ling’s personal decision.

“What do we have to do then?”

“Elder Mu Sen and Elder Guang Yao, the people of Tita have to unite together. We must strike the bullseyes in this attack. If we can’t, the outcome would be dire. It wouldn’t be enough to depend on our current military strength. We would need the people of Tita to unite together!”

Wang Zheng said. He knew clearly about the battle power of the Tita giants and knew even clearer about the military strength of humans. With their current strength, these people would have been exterminated before they reached the front of the base. Once the main battle force was eliminated, there would really be no hope left for Tita Star.

Mu Sen and Guang Yao looked at each other. Elder Guang Yao paused for a moment and said resolutely and decisively,” I would go and convene the meetings of the Elders. No matter what, we have to try our best. Every power counts!”

“In that case, let’s split up and do our mission!”

“Without further ado, let us head out immediately.” Lan Ling said. “Wang Zheng, can you stay here? It would be more convenient for us to maintain communication.”

Wang Zheng nodded. Clearly, the war had started. The ambassadors of various tribes shouldn’t be far apart.

The whole Pool Tribe had been mobilized. The batch of equipment was the most pressing matter.

At night, Wang Zheng couldn’t sleep. The new mech stood alone. For the first time, Wang Zheng had felt helplessness. In the face of war, the strength of a single person was so minute.

Mu Sen walked over. “Can’t fall asleep?”

Wang Zheng nodded his head and said,” Elder Mu Sen, how many people do you think we can gather this time?”

Mu Sen shook his head and let out a long sigh. “The thoughts of the people of Tita, especially those from rural tribes, weren’t willing to adapt to change to begin with. Coupled with the current incident, it would be hard to tell.”

“Isn’t there anything that could unite the people of Tita? Weren’t there any leaders that appeared in the history of the people of Tita?” Wang Zheng asked subconsciously.

“There was!” Mu Sen gaze turned deep and distant. “Titan!”

This was the belief and an ancient legend of the people of Tita.

“I had heard it from Rara Durai. Could it be that it really existed?”

“Yes, it was real. This was also the origin of our TitaTitan Star. Catastrophe had fallen but the Titan had yet to appear.”

“How could we find this Titan?” Wang Zheng asked immediately. He wasn’t being superstitious. However, if there was a chance, he would definitely grab it tightly.

“Anyone could be a Titan as long as they could return from the abyss.”

“Where is the abyss?” Wang Zheng’s eyes lit up. In fact, he had heard from Rara Durai previously. He did not believe about the abyss. However, every primitive tribe would have something that they believe in even if it might be baffling to others. If this could be a reason to unite them, Wang Zheng was willing to give it a try.

“You would want to go?”

“Elder, I’m willing to go with Ada!” said Rara Durai.
