At that moment, the former soldiers of the Cooler Legion were completely unmoved by Cooler's death, like a pool of stagnant water.
After Saigo returned to normal and suppressed his ki, he slowly raised his head and called out, "Salza!"
Whoosh!
A man suddenly burst out of the crowd above, his aura flaring as he dove down at high speed. He was none other than Salza, with his blond hair and pale blue skin.
"I am Salza, captain of the Armored Squadron. I pay my respects to King Saigao!" Salza bowed respectfully.
"No need for formalities." Saigo waved a hand.
Just then, Bardock, Vegeta III, and Tarble flew up as well. Vegeta III had returned to his humanoid form.
Saigo pointed at them. "Salza, take your troops and follow Captain Vegeta and Captain Bardock. Get everyone settled as soon as possible!"
"Yes! I obey!" Salza replied with a respectful bow.
Saigo turned to Vegeta III and Bardock. "Captain Vegeta, Captain Bardock, I need the two of you to help Captain Salza get the legion's soldiers settled as soon as possible. From now on, some of the legion's soldiers will handle logistics. As for our people, every one of them must train, regardless of talent!"
Vegeta III, Bardock, and Tarble all looked confused, and were wary of Salza.
"King Saigao, logistics are important. We can't just hand them over to outsiders without a second thought. Perhaps you should reconsider?" Bardock hesitated before speaking up.
Vegeta III chimed in as well. "That's right, King Saigao. We can't just let outsiders handle logistics. Please think it over."
Before Saigo could say anything, Salza said indignantly, "Captains, please rest assured. My troops and I are absolutely loyal to King Saigao. We'll carry out every task and order he gives us to the best of our ability! I stake my honor on it!"
Honor?
A spineless turncoat like you had the nerve to talk about honor?
You were just working for that so-called Cosmic Emperor Cooler, who'd been blasted to pieces. Now that your former boss was dead, you'd immediately bowed to your enemy.
It was only natural to be suspicious!
"Ha! You're a traitor. What honor could you have?" Vegeta III scoffed.
"You!" Salza glared at him, but remembering that he was one of King Saigao's people, he forced down his anger. "Hmph! If it weren't for King Saigao's orders, do you think I'd want to work with you? Just looking at you makes me sick!"
"What did you say, you bastard? Are you looking to die? I don't want to work with a traitor either!" Vegeta III flew straight up to Salza, his hands cracking as he clenched them. He stared at him with open hostility.
"You want to fight? Then don't turn into a Great Ape! Let's see what you've got!" Salza sneered.
He knew his opponent's power exceeded a million after transforming into a Great Ape, while his own was only 500,000. He'd have no chance against him then, but in humanoid form, things might be different.
What Salza hadn't realized was that Vegeta III's power was still higher than his in humanoid form, even if only by a few tens of thousands. In a drawn-out fight, Vegeta III would definitely win.
Vegeta III sensed that Salza's ki was slightly weaker than his own. He folded his arms and sneered. "I don't need to turn into a Great Ape to deal with you! My humanoid form is more than enough."
He then looked at Saigo and asked for permission. "King Saigao, I request your approval to fight!"
"I also respectfully request permission to fight!" Salza said fearlessly.
Saigo hadn't expected the two of them to clash so badly, and his head began to ache. He raised a hand to stop them before their argument got any more ridiculous, then fixed them with a cold stare and snapped, "Enough!"
"If you two want to fight, you can—but first, get the soldiers up there settled. If there are any scientists, make sure they're properly looked after too. That's final! If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. Once you've finished the task, fight all you want! Just don't kill each other!"
As soon as Saigo finished speaking, he vanished from the spot with High-Speed Movement.
Vegeta III and Salza glared at each other, each unable to stand the other.
Bardock and Tarble exchanged glances, each seeing the other's helplessness and wariness. Neither said a word; they simply nodded solemnly.
"Captain Salza, please take us to meet our future comrades," Bardock said.
"Of course! It's good to meet you, Captain Bardock. I hope we'll work well together!" Salza said with a smile, appearing in front of Bardock in a flash. "Come on! I'll show you our soldiers. And, Captain Bardock, could I trouble you to explain the situation..."
The group flew upward, chatting and laughing.
Seeing this, Vegeta was baffled. Why had Bardock and Tarble accepted a traitor to handle the Saiyans' logistics? But he didn't dare disobey Saigo's orders, so he hurried after them, calling, "Hey! Wait for me!"
Time passed quickly.
Four days had passed since Cooler invaded Planet Saiyan.
It was now November 7.
After several days of integrating, the Saiyans and the soldiers of the Saigao Legion had learned to accept one another.
The Saiyans' extraordinary talent made the ordinary soldiers of the Saigao Legion envious. They also learned that battle power could be freely controlled and quickly increased through training in the Gravity Chamber.
The Saiyans, in turn, loved the advanced technology, weapons, and food the Saigao Legion had. They especially praised the delicious food.
The Armored Squadron under Salza's command had many advanced technologies and several outstanding scientists, including advanced laser weapon technology, medical instrument technology, Mecha technology, and spaceship technology.
In just four days, those scientists had built a Gravity Chamber. Before, it had taken a month to build one, so they were several times faster! It was clear that these scientists were far more capable than the two who had previously worked on Planet Saiyan.
After hearing the news, Saigo ordered them to produce Gravity Chambers at full capacity until there were enough for everyone.
Interestingly, Vegeta III and Salza hadn't fought. According to the two of them, since they hadn't received King Saigao's permission, the other had been lucky to escape a thorough beating.
Over these four days, they ran four simulations and chose battle power each time: battle power +120 million.
Training in reality: battle power +4 million.
