The Strategic Affairs Department's fleet stopped outside the Dongfeng Island chain. The inner side had limited space and could not accommodate so many ships.
Therefore, the Strategic Affairs Department delegation, led by the Kui Dou Squad and Bai Shaotang's substitute, entered the island chain aboard a warship and reached Dongfeng Island, coming ashore at the pier.
Around nine, the delegations from the other Mecha groups arrived one after another.
Most of the delegations had come by air, since not everyone could afford to travel by sea.
If they traveled by ship, there were many things to consider. No one knew how many Forbidden Lands lay in the sea—places unknown to humanity.
By contrast, air travel was much safer. Unless they were unlucky enough to run into a Flying Beast, traveling through the air was both safe and convenient.
After all, apart from the former overlord Kun Beast, which had turned itself into a Forbidden Land and thus formed a special aerial Forbidden Land, the other Flying Beasts—even overlords—would only build their nests on land.
Thus, the land and sea were far more dangerous than the sky.
Inside Zhurong's cockpit, Luo Yan looked at a light screen on the command console. It showed live reports of the Mecha delegations entering the base one after another under the guidance of Strategic Affairs Department personnel and touring Dongfeng Island.
At the same time, through the satellites controlled by the Strategic Affairs Department, personnel at the headquarters of various Mecha groups in distant regions could watch the summit live.
At that moment, the scene shifted, and the camera focused on the sea outside the island chain.
Apart from the Strategic Affairs Department's fleet, another fleet was sailing toward Dongfeng Island.
The Freedom Wings delegation had finally arrived.
"They've got quite a few ships too."
