"Where's Black Grandpa?"

"Sir, this elderly Mechanical Body left a message saying he went to a meeting."

"Fine, forget him," Wang Jixuan said. "I was going to ask him to join us. We'd have a better chance of taking down Mo Feng that way, but it doesn't matter... Let's hold the meeting first."

Ling Tong asked, "Do we need to mobilize other Half-Human Mechs?"

"Not for now. At the moment, you few are the only ones I trust here."

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment.

"Red Snake can join our special squad later as well."

"Alright."

Ling Tong answered simply. She brought up a dialog box on her left Mechanical Arm, coordinated matters through the Command System, temporarily detached herself from the Half-Human Mech formation, and reported her squad's movements to her direct commander.

Everyone took their seats. Just as they were about to begin the meeting, Ling Tong received an order from the Frontline Command Center.

She looked up at Wang Jixuan. "The Frontline Commander says you should avoid participating in battle whenever possible."

Daoist Wang curled his lip. "Can I refuse to listen to him?"

"Theoretically, within the current command structure, your immediate superior is Dongfang Zhenghong. As long as he doesn't issue an order..."

Buzz! Buzz!

Ling Tong's Mechanical Arm vibrated slightly, and a new order appeared on it.

"Hmm... The Commander-in-Chief has personally ordered that you may act as you see fit."

Ling Tong looked slightly puzzled.

Daoist Wang chuckled. "Does this Commander-in-Chief I've never met trust me too much, or does he simply not care much about me?"

"It has to be the former!"

Zheng Shiduo grinned.

"The Commander-in-Chief must have discovered your greatness!"

"Don't praise me that highly."

Wang Jixuan cleared his throat and looked toward Treant Beta.

Treant Beta immediately straightened up nervously.
