Chapter 2679: Burning Legion's Greatest Weakness
At last, the longest and most eventful rest period in the Burning Legion's history officially came to an end. Every member of the Burning Legion had prepared for the upcoming mission—except Xiao Ran, who remained in the territory like a salted fish.
Given the current situation, he really was not suited to keep testing Prometheus's limits of tolerance. Pushing things too far would not be appropriate either. If he entered a mission now, would he not just stir up trouble, stir up trouble, and stir up more trouble? If things escalated and somehow brought him major trouble, that would be even less appropriate. Taking the initiative to back down, admit defeat, and hide for a while was hardly a big deal.
Although Prometheus could not deliberately target him, it could still assign Xiao Ran to an extremely difficult Mission World, bind him to a faction, and drop him straight into hell difficulty. Then, under those circumstances, it could give him some ridiculously exaggerated missions. Even if Xiao Ran could complete them, they would definitely give him a massive headache. Being trapped for a year or two would not be much of an issue, but if simply not entering a mission could avoid all that trouble, why insist on wading into that muddy water?
So Xiao Ran stayed in the territory and went nowhere. There were conditions for an S-class Pilot to avoid entering missions: either remain in the territory during the mission period, or return home through Prometheus. In any case, he absolutely could not remain in Prometheus. Once he chose to stay there, it would be considered default acceptance of the mission. Thus, Xiao Ran did not even have a chance to see everyone off and could only remain in the territory.
