As for Vax, Cheng Yu decided to get ahead of them before they could react. Their objective was easy to guess. They must have assumed that, with the Legion busy dealing with Pan Chabuko, its failure to attack Vax, which also bordered Balchik, meant it could not spare the personnel.
In that case, why not strike first and attack the Legion's headquarters directly? They could test the Legion's strength while also taking some pressure off Pan Chabuko.
But Vax's intelligence clearly lagged behind the Legion's. Pan Chabuko's supreme leader had already fled, and the Legion was taking over everything it owned. Its main forces were now free, which meant they could be redeployed for a showdown with Vax, one of the Star Sea's two great powers.
Conductor and the other Mecha agreed, so the strategic policy for the Vax front was settled.
As for Shatla on the other side...
Cheng Yu could not help looking thoughtful. Even now, the Legion's Research Institute had no definitive answer about Shatla's Demonic Web. It had only produced an analysis reporting that the web contained most types of energy.
With the Legion's research capabilities, investigating a civilization whose combat strength was only Legendary had somehow failed to yield any definitive results. Cheng Yu could think of only two possible reasons.
First, Shatla possessed technology in some field that surpassed even the Legion, which could manufacture Epic-Rank Mecha.
Second, the Demonic Web was closely connected to the Big Shot's authority fragment-or the Demonic Web itself was the Big Shot's authority fragment.
Of the two, Cheng Yu leaned toward the latter. The reason was simple: if the former were true, Shatla could have used that technology as the foundation for weapons far beyond this era and unified the Small Heavens, rather than remaining in the middle
