Chapter 699: Crisis on the Terra Continent, Goting's Determination, Population

[Dangerous Creature! The Terra Continent is About to Face Its Most Critical Moment]

Quality: Silver

Danger Level: High

Recently, the Mechanical Vanguard Society located on the Terra Continent has sounded the highest danger alarm.

Dangerous creatures in the form of black crude oil have entered the Terra Continent's territory and attacked three Mechanical Vanguard Society bases.

The Mechanical Vanguard Society has engaged in multiple rounds of combat, all ending in failure.

The Mechanical Vanguard Society is now facing a critical decision.

Through observation, they discovered that the oil creatures are highly dependent on energy-type resources, and the three bases they captured all shared a common characteristic.

All three bases had massive reserves of energy resources.

Because of this, the Mechanical Vanguard Society used this trait to set up a lethal trap for the oil creatures.

Three days ago, the Mechanical Vanguard Society activated their ultimate weapon, Heavenly Punishment, launching a high-altitude strike on the oil creatures that had entered the trap.

The results were significant, successfully destroying one-third of the oil creature's body, but failing to kill it.

After witnessing the oil creature fully regenerate within seconds, the Mechanical Vanguard Society was forced to accept reality.

They had reached the most critical moment since the organization's founding!

——————————

This new round of Global News Weekly reports updated Yu Yuan's intelligence database.

He looked at the photo accompanying the news article, showing the Oil Giant with a beam of light descending from the sky piercing through its body, roaring toward the heavens.

He rubbed his temples.

The Mechanical Vanguard Society was in danger.

"But perhaps this is also a new opportunity..." With this thought, Yu Yuan sent a message to Knight.

Then he turned his attention to the other news in the weekly report.

The news related to the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet recorded the progress of the Pioneering Group led by Alpha, as well as the Molten Believers led by Knight, in conquering this world's factions.

— 53%.

The Mechanical Scrapyard Planet's conquest progress had passed the halfway mark, and soon the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet would be completely under Yu Yuan's control.

During this period, Carmen's pressure had also been immense.

Not only did he have to coordinate the transportation of war spoils and supplies, but he was also responsible for the reformation and training of prisoners.

Fortunately, the Hunter Training Camp's training speed and capacity had been greatly improved.

Otherwise, so many prisoners would have been difficult to manage.

Everything was moving in a positive direction.

The last news item in the weekly report was about the Dead Mine Town world.

Upon seeing this news, Yu Yuan's gaze turned contemplative.

"Hmm? The Felda Revolutionary Army has noticed the changes in the Dawn Consortium and is sending people to investigate and establish contact..."

The Felda Revolutionary Army was the organization closely connected to the Dawn Consortium. After Yu Yuan had learned about this organization from the computer earlier, Alpha had sent people to scout it.

However, because the distance was too great, they were still in the intelligence-gathering stage.

He immediately sent this message to Quis, asking him to make arrangements.

Alpha was currently conquering the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet, so Quis would have to follow up on this faction's intelligence progress.

After that, he checked the new books that had refreshed in the Hidden Library this week, and surprisingly, there were several books related to combat.

Yu Yuan packed up these books and headed to the Hunter Training Camp.

Ladiz and Carmen were in front of a convoy, communicating with each other.

"Leader!"

The two looked over.

"How's the preparation going?"

Ladiz nodded slightly. He had now fully accepted his new identity.

"Everything is ready. These soldiers are of excellent quality, and with this convoy, I can transport all the supplies from my shelter within 3 to 4 days at most."

"Good. Coordinate with Carmen on this. The key point is that the soldiers you left behind at the shelter must be brought back."

Population had now become the most important thing to Yu Yuan.

He currently controlled a large number of worlds and urgently needed a massive population to develop them.

"Understood! I'll bring them all back this time."

"Excellent! Get ready and set out!"

"Yes!"

As they spoke, several figures hurriedly approached from the Civilization War Fortress Square, their bodies still carrying the smell of gunpowder and smoke, clearly having just come from the battlefield.

Upon seeing Yu Yuan, they immediately stepped forward.

"Leader, we're back!" Goting and several Molten Believers behind him said.

They had just captured a faction and were resting and resupplying ammunition at a military camp when they received Knight's message.

Upon hearing that the Leader had business with them, they rushed over immediately.

Yu Yuan led them into a meeting room and looked at Goting.

"How much control do you have over the EDEN alliance?"

"EDEN alliance?" Goting hadn't expected this to be related to EDEN and immediately said:

"Leader, EDEN is formed by eight factions. According to our classification, they are all elite-level factions, and their strength is nothing to scoff at. Previously, each faction had anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand members."

"But as for now... after the impact of the Extreme Cold Disaster, I estimate that each faction has suffered losses, with the hardest-hit factions losing over half their numbers."

"As for the degree of control, I do have some influence over them. The Ascetics of these factions are all Molten Believers, and the Ascetics obey my commands."

Goting looked at Yu Yuan and asked tentatively:

"Leader, do you intend to incorporate them?"

Yu Yuan nodded slightly.

"That's right. We need a large population here, and now a dangerous creature has appeared on the Terra Continent. For now, the Mechanical Vanguard Society is holding the line, so EDEN is still relatively safe. But what happens afterward is hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Goting was slightly taken aback.

He knew the strength of the Mechanical Vanguard Society, but based on what the Leader was saying, even the Mechanical Vanguard Society couldn't hold back that dangerous creature.

"Goting, these lost sheep need the guidance of my Lord. I want them to embrace the Lord of Molten Flame. Can you do it?"

Goting suddenly perked up, eager to prove himself.

"Leader, no problem. I guarantee these lost believers will follow your guidance."

"Alright, get prepared. I'll send you back to the Terra Continent afterward."

Goting's preparation time was even faster than Yu Yuan had imagined.

In less than an hour, he and the Bronze-tier Ascetics he led were all wearing the latest Mechanical Armor, standing before Yu Yuan.

The Mechanical Armor could ensure their mobility and survival in the current extreme cold environment.

Of course, it could only guarantee their mobility and survival in their regular Human Form.

If they wanted to transform while wearing the Mechanical Armor, the result would likely be their armor being burned to ashes.

The group walked into the motor lodge, and as the door opened and closed, they had returned to the Terra Continent.

Their location was exactly the underground church of the former Orthodox Church, where Yu Yuan had set up a teleportation point earlier.

"I'll leave it to you all then."

Watching Yu Yuan's figure disappear, Goting gently stroked the Mechanical Armor on his body and looked at the people behind him.

"Let's go! Time is of the essence. The Oracle's orders must be completed as quickly as possible."

"We have only one goal, and that is to take away everyone in EDEN. Remember, everyone..."

Goting's tone was unyielding.

The Bronze-tier Ascetics behind him curled the corners of their mouths.

"Understood!"
