(Yi Zui has updated two chapters in the past few days, and there have been no breaks. The chapter the day before yesterday was actually two chapters, but Yi Zui was not divided into two chapters. The number of words is correct.)
For Xiao Ran, it was inevitable to choose not to join Mithril and to carry out Mission 2 as an independent person. Under the premise that Mithril rejected his proposal, several bases scattered around the world would inevitably be attacked by the evil camp, especially the participants of the amalgam force. It was an obvious target for them to attack.
Under the leadership of Amalgam, an organization whose tactics are unconventional and ruthless, and whose recruiters do not care about the past or refer to their character, dealing with Mithril, who has a high self-esteem, is a piece of cake. As long as they launch attacks on various Mithril bases at the same time, Mithril can suffer heavy losses in the blink of an eye.
Judging from Amalgam's behavior, they can easily gather a group of truly powerful warriors and dig out participants with combat capabilities beyond this world to join them.
Mithril has always felt that it should be hidden under the water. It upholds justice and has equally strict requirements on itself. Even the recruiters strictly follow the inspection system and recommendation system. For the participants of the justice camp who do not know much about this world, there is almost no channel for direct contact with Mithril.
Xiao Ran is able to cooperate with Mithril only by relying on his understanding of the world and Mithril. Participants with a justice bias will generally be more secure and cautious in their choices when encountering problems, and they also have a certain attitude towards dealing with things. In fact, they are a little constrained and cannot let it go. In this way, it is impossible to get Mithril too much attention.
In this way, the strength of Amalgam will be infinitely amplified, while Mithril will gradually become weaker than Amalgam. Mithril's rejection of Xiao Ran's proposal is almost a rejection of their own future, leaving the enemy with only the best opportunities to defeat each one.
As a participant, there is naturally no need for Xiao Ran to join Mithril at such a time and under such circumstances, and to face the destruction that they will inevitably experience next and cause trouble for themselves. Xiao Ran can completely choose other partners to achieve its goals.
Luo ran back not long after he left. When he came back, he brought the person Xiao Ran wanted him to find, Tessa.
At this time, Tessa's face looked a little tired and lonely, but she still smiled reluctantly when she saw Xiao Ran: "Are you looking for me?"
"Well, sit down." Xiao Ran nodded. After taking a look at the situation in the small room, Tessa sat in her original position and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Ran did not cut into the whole story at the beginning, but asked, "How is the situation over there?"
Tessa shook her head and said with a helpless smile, "It still doesn't work. No matter what, they are unwilling to abandon the current base and evacuate. The scope of involvement is too large and the subsequent impact will be too great. They would rather believe that they can prevent the war between the two sides than take great risks to evacuate. Maybe nothing will happen and tomorrow will be just like this."
Xiao Ran shook his head. He didn't know what to say to the guys at the top of Mithril, but Xiao Ran also understood the other party's concerns. After all, once it was transferred, it would be a huge thing for Mithril. There were countless things that needed to be transported. If nothing happened, it would be a waste of manpower and material resources to transport them back.
Xiao Ran was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then what do you think?"
"I don't know, do we really have to move? Even if we don't move, wouldn't it be the same as long as other bases are more careful and increase their vigilance?"
Tessa really couldn't figure out why Xiao Ran had to ask them to transfer, and why she was so sure that Amalgam would attack Mithril. If there was only one Amalgam, Mithril wouldn't be able to retreat step by step. Countries that had always maintained good cooperative relations with Mithril would not necessarily attack Mithril as Xiao Ran said.
"It doesn't matter now whether to transfer or not. To be precise, you have wasted too much time and you probably won't have time to do it now." Xiao Ran sighed slightly and said, "Amalgam's plan is to eradicate Mithril, the organization that poses the greatest threat to them. They can pay a lot for this, and all the investment will be doubled after destroying you."
"According to reliable information, I believe that Amalgam's side will start to carry out operations against you soon. I think they will act in many ways at the same time, including attacks on your bases and important facilities, etc., turning you into terrorists, etc. If you believe me, it is best for you to order all the people in Merida to evacuate now, and transfer everything that can be transferred to Danner's Son."
There was some struggle and hesitation on Tessa's face, while Xiao Ran continued, "Apart from this, I think our cooperation ends here. Although we have certain cooperation with your mithril, it does not mean that we will face destruction with you. For you, and for this Danner's Son, I can also give you two choices."
"First, if you take the initiative to cooperate with me, then we will take over the Danner's Son in a peaceful way, and all subsequent actions will be carried out in accordance with my requirements."
"Second, if you refuse, I will control this Danner's Son by force. In the following situation, I very much need a mobile base to serve as my logistics support, but I don't want to go to this step. After all, controlling you by force does not mean that you will gain much trust from me."
Having said this, Xiao Ran looked at Tessa biting her lower lip tightly, shook her head slightly and sighed, "I can also give you a third option. We will leave here to find other partners. Then no matter what situation you encounter, it will have nothing to do with me, but I will take away those prisoners, after all, they are the people I captured."
When Luo heard Xiao Ran's words, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiao Ran. He seemed to understand what Xiao Ran was thinking. Instead of forcing Tessa to be a villain here, it would be better for Tessa to take the initiative to come to them after encountering an unsolvable situation. At that time, he could still get 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 in a deep voice, "Okay, but the evacuation operation on Merida Island must start now. Before that, we need to borrow the equipment on Danner's Son to maintain our body. If you haven't given us an answer after the maintenance is completed, then please prepare a transport helicopter for us, okay?"
"Okay." Tessa nodded decisively, stood up and left in a hurry. In the current situation, she could no longer make the decision alone. She had to discuss it with Richard and Kalinin.
Luo also heard what Xiao Ran said, nodded and walked out of the room with Little Eight in his hands. Before going out, he said to Luo, "You come too. If Guts is older, you can also help me with some physical work."
Xiao Ran left Tessa time to think about it. The first thing was that Variable Fighter and Demon King Mecha did need some maintenance. After leaving Danner's Son, you might not find a suitable partner in a short time. So it would be better to restore the body to the most perfect condition here and then choose to leave.
Secondly, after all, Main Mission 2 has just been announced. Even if some participants are ready to take action, if there are any arrangements on the Amalgam side, they will not be started immediately. But what Xiao Ran can be sure of is that when Main Mission 21 appears, the whole world will soon become chaotic.
Those participants have been restricted for several months. Now that the restrictions are lifted, it is like a mad dog coming out of the gate. They can do whatever they want without any scruples. If it doesn't cause chaos, there will be something wrong. When individual abilities surpass team abilities and the combat power of participants exceeds the capabilities of the world's local military, then there will be no restraints for participants, and combat and destruction will become the real theme.
The room suddenly became a lot quieter, and Xiao Ran lay on the bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed, thinking about the next step of action.
"Choosing a new collaborator is a must, Soviet Union. There is no need to think about the two forces in the United States. The amalgam has penetrated too much, and even if it is strong, it will not meet the requirements for cooperation."
"A country must have its own industrial strength, and it is best to be able to build AS independently. United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey are all good choices, and Japan, which is more familiar with it, is also good." (Actually, the best choice is of course Great Celestial Dynasty, but I really dare not write about the situation in Quanjin, not just Quanjin, so just treat it as a blank spot on the basic map.)
"In addition, when Amalgam launches an attack on Mithril, you can take advantage of the chaos, gather up Mithril's defeated soldiers, and steal their important equipment, materials, etc. Not only Mithril, you can also do the same to deal with Amalgam, rob their things, and rob their people. But if there are only four of us, we don't seem to be able to get too many things every time, so the existence of Danner's Son is also necessary."
"Although Main Mission II does not ask for too much, we have to make more preparations for Main Mission Three. If the destroyed Mithril can be re-established and turned into Mithril under my control, it will save a lot of trouble. In short, no matter what, a complete logistics manufacturing base must also exist."
