"Ghost Captain?"
A black chassis, sleek, simple lines, and a fully humanoid design...
As the Mecha before him slowly emerged from stealth, Kloros's eyes narrowed, and he immediately matched it to the intelligence in his mind.
The Shattered Star Region's long-lost "fifth Legendary"?
Kloros was more inclined to believe it was covert reinforcement from the Machine Race.
Could an outsider who had only just arrived in the Shattered Star Region really be lucky enough to pick up a "long-lost" Mecha after a casual stroll?
He had heard that the Machine Race's morale never wavered, but never that they had a luck bonus.
As a lackey of the Imperial House, Kloros naturally knew far more about the Decapitation Operation a thousand years ago than the rumors circulating outside... such as the fall of the legendary Star Cross Knights.
Over three hundred Legendary Mecha had been destroyed in a single battle. Kloros would never believe that the Machine Race had failed to obtain at least a few Mecha cores.
The Ghost Captain was reportedly a Mechanical Noble, so getting his hands on one or two Legendary Mecha probably wasn't difficult.
"As a member of the Machine Race, you have no quarrel with us, past or present. Why do you keep opposing our Locke Conglomerate?"
Rather than attack immediately, Kloros wanted to extract some information from him.
"If I said I was bored at home and came out looking for some fun, would you believe me?" Nie Yun countered in his distinctive synthesized voice.
Kloros did not get angry.
Had this been an ordinary intelligent life-form, Kloros might have taken it as mockery. But if the other party was a member of the Machine Race, with an immense lifespan and near immortality...
Actually, that really was possible...
At least within the Wulf Empire,
