Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 935 - 659: Leasing the Future—In the Name of the Bauhinia

Before the Bug Race incident occurred, they still intended to use their status as the three giants within the alliance to apply pressure on the chairman of this Competition Committee.

They wanted to see if they could order a rematch, and after the rematch, without their Bauhinia Squad, there would be no qualification to compete, so the final winner would be no one other than their Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance.

But now, after witnessing the true power of Bai E in the Bug Race incident,

they need to reassess whether they can actually make this decision in the presence of such a formidable figure...

After all, Xing Zhuo's first reckless confrontation with Bai E led to the loss of more than half of the armed forces on the battleship.

This War God, capable of influencing small skirmishes single-handedly, must be taken seriously, even by their Thousand Stars Commerce Alliance.

The commander of the Thunder Dragon Empire, still showing signs of his hasty escape, was the first to sneer, "Another competition? I've already spoken to the chairman of the Competition Committee, and he stated that the results are in, no need for further discussion."

The Blood Cry Empire commander was still unwilling to relent, "But the Bauhinia Republic is dissolved; according to the alliance charter, those without national backing have no right to inherit competition achievements! I suggest we apply for a rematch with the Competition Committee..."

"A rematch?" Xing Zhuo sneered, "Do you have the guts to mention this in front of Bai E?"

"And so what?" Blood Ming was indomitable, "No matter how strong he is, he is still an individual! If the alliance Order crumbles for him alone, where would our three giants stand? Besides, do you think a place like Bauhinia could produce such talent? Bauhinia must have paid some price to enlist his help, so can't we control him to make him work for us?"

Originally, their hopes of winning the Star Alliance finals with their five legendary mech pilots were slim, but with Bai E as a strong ally now, their chances might be better!

"Control?" Xing Zhuo shouted angrily, "What makes you think you can control him? Soldiers are like ants before him, and a legendary Mecha is but a toy under his blade! Control? How do you think you can control someone like that?"

He had not mentioned to Lei Long and Blood Ming about his attempt to engage Bai E with his fleet.

In fact, the motives for originally taking action were related to these two empires... If their Business Alliance could recruit him, why couldn't Lei Long and Blood Ming do the same? 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Once the initiative was given to Bai E, having three options at hand would undoubtedly raise the cost of recruiting him while also running the risk of being intercepted by the two empires.

So he chose to take the risk of direct coercion, but didn't expect...

"Then what do you want to do? Worship him?" Blood Cry Empire's commander sneered, "He's just a capable Mech Pilot; no matter how strong, can he withstand a shot from the battleship's main cannon?"

Xing Zhuo gave him a deep look, took a deep breath, "…So, that brings us to another factor I mentioned — the Bug Race."

"A cosmic-level Bug Race civilization with highly unified intelligence, vast Spiritual Energy, and military technology enough to rival us humans! As of now, they have not shown any intent to communicate, posing only a threat of annihilation to humanity, making them even more incomprehensible than those green-skinned monsters. In the face of such a formidable enemy, I even feel that the Star Alliance competition is no longer important."

"And regarding this civilization, the only intelligence currently comes from Bai E. He is not only a capable Mech Pilot but also an expert with insights into areas we have yet to understand."

Or perhaps a leader?

The thought of Bai E as a leader startled Xing Zhuo.

A leader? Why would he think of him as a leader?

But if not him, then who?

Reflecting on previous brief encounters with him... Why did almost everyone subconsciously follow his instructions?

Is it because of power? No, power can only make people temporarily submit; only a leader can gain willing allegiance.

"In facing a major enemy like the Bug Race, I believe Bai E's status should be elevated to the highest level; the sole strategy should be: respect, cooperation, empowerment! If necessary, I even feel the alliance should consider forming a 'Bug Race Threat Response Command,' with Bai E appointed as the highest action commander, granting him cross-national absolute command authority during emergency situations, and a complete tilt of all resources and intelligence."

"Are you crazy?" The Blood Cry Empire commander sneered, "Granting supreme military authority to an outsider? Lei Long, would your country accept a non-national commander leading your imperial fleet?"

Lei Long's representative remained silent, stroking his beard, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"See, who would willingly hand over their military power to an outsider? I think you were just scared by those bugs in the recent battle. This fight was costly, but remember, none of the fleets we brought are main battle fleets. You saw that the main cannons of our three starships could effectively damage those Bug Race biological ships, probably a volley from the main battle fleet would take down these so-called Bug Race biological giant ships. The threat of the Bug Race is indeed imminent, but we don't need to worry too much."

"We humans have main battle fleets, how do you know the bugs don't have more ships behind?" Bai E once said...

"See, again with Bai E..." the Blood Cry Empire commander interrupted Xing Zhuo, "From beginning to end, his understanding of the Bug Race is just his own words. If he hadn't exaggerated the threat, how could you have the idea of receiving him with the highest standard? I think this is just his way to increase his worth, and once we completely purge these so-called Bug Race biological ships, then he too must become a vanguard for the Empire and conquer the Star Alliance."

Seeing the two of them about to break into a heated argument, the previously silent commander of the Thunder Dragon Empire finally spoke to mediate, "The Bug Race threat is real and has interrupted the competition, but the threat and Bai E's achievements must be reported immediately. So I propose our report should be divided into three parts: one, evidence of the Bug Race threat; two, Bai E's redemption merits; three, request the Alliance Supreme Council to determine the competition result and Bai E's authority — after all, it involves the fundamental laws of the alliance."
