The Reactions of All Sides

Forward Base, Combat Command Room.

The Combat Command Room, which should have been bustling and noisy, was now deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop in the vast space.

Everyone just stared blankly at the images transmitted back from the wartime satellites.

Even more astonished, some people unconsciously opened their mouths wide.

A junior staff officer swallowed hard, uttering a sound that seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, "Who is that?"

Awakened by the sudden sound, the chief of staff took a deep breath, barely managing to maintain his crumbling worldview.

"It should be the deputy Captain of the Team Ten of the City Direct Military."

"That guy Lu Bai?"

The senior commanders present might not have a strong impression of City Direct Military's position, since, in terms of rank, the deputy Captain of the Team Ten was one or two ranks lower than many of them.

But as soon as the name Lu Bai was mentioned, all the senior commanders present immediately recognized him.

Sitting in the Combat Command Center, they were well aware of the cause of the impending war with the Mona people.

"So it was him."

"Then it's not surprising."

"No wonder it's so amazing, it's just too strong!"

"I feel like this guy alone is enough, it seems like we don't have anything to do with it."

Some of the younger officers present even made witty remarks.

Lu Bai single-handedly destroyed a Mona people interstellar warship, perhaps because his performance was so explosive that it made them optimistic about the upcoming war.

Of course, this optimism is based on the premise that they are unaware that the interstellar warship that Lu Bai destroyed was merely an outdated piece of equipment left behind by the Mona people for their Mona Warrior hundreds of years ago.

If I had known this, I probably wouldn't be as relaxed as I am now.

In the dense forest under the cover of night.

The Sports Student stiffly put down the portable astronomical telescope in his hand.

His face was filled with undisguised terror, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, the woman standing next to him instinctively asked, "What's going on?"

Perhaps it was too unbelievable; the Sports Student was still in shock and seemed not to have heard the woman's words.

"What exactly happened? Say something!"

The woman grew impatient, reaching for the portable telescope as she said, "Give me the telescope, I want to see for myself."

The Sports Student didn't resist at all, as if petrified, and the woman easily took the portable astronomical telescope from his hand.

Instead of making wild guesses, she picked up a portable telescope and looked in the direction of the interstellar warship.

The funny thing is, after searching for a while and finally finding what she wanted to see, she froze like Sports Student.

He murmured, almost as if in a trance, "This... you must be joking, right?"

The Sports Student finally snapped out of his shock and realized that just watching from afar had put immense pressure on him.

He reached up and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead. "It's unbelievable, this guy really only went through six Deathmatch Showdown?"

Fortunately, his reverence for the Lord prevented him from becoming dejected. "No wonder the Lord wanted to control this person."

Snap

The imagery from near-Earth orbit was so powerful that the woman, trembling, accidentally dropped the expensive portable telescope, which fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

"You're right, this kind of monster is indeed beyond the capabilities of the two of us. Let these lambs share the burden of dealing with this monster."

Even if the portable telescope is broken and can't see the images in near-Earth orbit.

But whenever the woman recalls that exaggerated scene, she feels an uncontrollable surge of intense fear.

She had previously looked down on these good-for-nothings who only dared to huddle in the shelter and was planning to make contact with Lu Bai. Luckily, the Sports Student stopped her, otherwise she would probably be buried with weeds three feet high by now.

"We, the most loyal warriors under our Lord's command, need to unite."

The Sports Student mustered a sliver of fighting spirit. "This guy is a real monster, not one of those trash we could have taken care of one-on-one before."

The woman pursed her lips. "But didn't the intelligence say that guy possesses some kind of ability to steal? If we Mona Warrior gather together, we could very well be wiped out by him."

The Sports Student shook his head.

"I know that too, so we absolutely cannot confront him head-on. From what I've observed these past two days, he doesn't seem to be willing to kill ordinary people. We can take advantage of that."

How to use it?

"I don't have any ideas yet, which is why I said I need to gather my comrades to brainstorm together."

In fact, many Mona Warriors who had witnessed Lu Bai's performance had similar thoughts.

This opponent, whose combat power is already ridiculously strong and who also possesses the special ability to steal, is something that no Mona Warrior would be confident they could handle.

Let's get started.

Soon, Mona Warrior scattered in all directions of the Forward Base began to contact their comrades nearby in their own ways.

Even if they couldn't defeat him head-on, out of loyalty to the Lord, they would still try their best to cause Lu Bai some trouble before the Lord's arrival.

At this moment, Lu Bai, who was hovering in near-Earth orbit, was unaware of the tremendous shock his act of destroying the interstellar warship had caused to observers from all sides.

Of course, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

What he's more concerned about now is when exactly the Mona people's interstellar fleet will arrive.

He destroyed the interstellar warship. Although it was far more advanced than human technology, it turned out to be nothing more than an old model left behind by the Mona people four hundred years ago to monitor Earth.

The same seems to be true for the interstellar warships he encountered earlier.

Centuries of development, plus the black technology secretly obtained by exploiting a bug in the Deathmatch System.

No one can say for sure what level of technology the Mona people have reached.

The good news is that the Mona people's fleet has not yet appeared, proving that the Mona people's planet is far enough away from Earth that it allows humanity at least some breathing room.

Therefore, Lu Bai estimated that if he could deal with the upcoming batch of Mona people interstellar fleets, the next batch would probably not be able to arrive for a while.

This essentially eliminates the possibility of a continuous barrage of attacks from the Mona people, thus providing a significant strategic buffer.
