Chapter 1506 Seizing the Opportunity
The Graystone people in Silvermoon City are also having a rough time.
They arrived with their best mechanical weapons, thinking Silvermoon City was empty. Even if they couldn't take any land in the end, they could still make a profit by taking back some of Silvermoon City's best items.
It's important to know that Graystone uses old, discarded parts from Silvermoon.
And yet, it's ridiculously expensive; you can't even touch it if you don't have the money.
Now that you can pick it up for free, this trip seems like a great deal.
But when they entered Silvermoon City and began to plunder it, they discovered that there were still people in Silvermoon City.
There are people in Silvermoon City, of course.
The vast majority of those who went to the Loess Plateau and Jingyao City to cause trouble were hot-blooded young men.
Those who were too young or too old wanted to join the charge, but unfortunately, they had to stay behind because their physical condition did not allow it or they were injured in previous battles.
Of course, there were also some rare rational Silvermoon people who, out of concern for their safety in the current chaotic situation, did not go along.
After the Beast Soul Legion rushed back to Crystal City to save the day, the Silver Moon people who were still able to move took to the streets to treat the wounded and clean up the mess.
After a few back and forth, they bumped right into the gray stone man.
The first reaction of the Graystone People to see the Silvermoon People was to cower.
The Silvermoon people were startled to see a large group of unfamiliar orcs, but they became furious when they recognized them as low-ranking orcs from Graystone.
The Graystone Man instinctively wanted to retreat, but then he noticed that the Silvermoon people opposite him were all old, weak, sick, or disabled, compared to the imposing and robust men on his side. They seemed, possibly, vaguely, perhaps posed no danger, and his courage grew.
Perhaps it's because of the inherent primal recklessness in their genes, but they pounced on any opportunity that presented itself.
Can the Silver Moon people tolerate this?
Despite being old, weak, sick, and disabled, their beast souls are still stronger than those lowly gray stone commoners!
The two sides immediately began fighting, with the east wind prevailing over the west wind at times, and the west wind prevailing over the east wind at others...
When Xingchen arrived with Lan Bingru, they saw Adrian holding a cushion in both hands, standing elegantly on a high platform not far away, watching the show, surrounded by twelve beast soul mechs.
His side was quiet and orderly, while the other side was in complete chaos, as if they were from different worlds.
Amidst the warning from the mech behind him, Adrian also spotted the stars. His smile faltered slightly, but quickly brightened again.
"Are you just going to watch like this?" Xingchen landed beside him, still holding Lan Bingru in one arm, without putting her down.
"What can I do?" Adrian gave a helpless smile. "If my mechs get involved, it would really be bullying people, wouldn't it?"
"Haven't you bullied enough people?" Apollo retorted as soon as he landed.
He deliberately moved to the other side of Adrian, causing Lord Finch, who was already quite wary of him, to unconsciously move closer to the stars.
To outsiders, the two mechs appear to be positioned on the left and right, forming a protective formation.
Only Adrian himself knew how uneasy he felt being sandwiched between these two unpredictable mechs.
But let's retreat... there are twelve mechs watching from behind.
If he shows weakness now, won't he destroy the prestige that he hasn't fully established yet?
No!
We have to hold on!
Adrian cleared his throat: "You can't say that..."
But nobody paid him any attention.
Xingchen bowed his head and reported the situation in the Loess Plateau to Qiansui.
Chisui, seemingly oblivious to what was being said, lay sprawled on the cushion in Adrian's hands, intently watching the chaotic battle below.
Adrian heard everything clearly and, knowing the whereabouts of those traitorous servants, began to plot how to settle scores later.
Neither Star nor Apollo intervened in the conflict between the Graystone People and the Silver Moon People; they simply stood with Adrian and watched coldly from the sidelines.
Although the Graystone People are strong and healthy, and possess some mechanical equipment for assistance, they have long lived at the bottom of society, have never had any organization or discipline, and fight based solely on instinct, each going their own way.
What his parents wanted was simply a better life; it wasn't an act of aggression in the true sense.
As for the Silvermoon people, their physical limitations ultimately restricted the effectiveness of their beast souls. Furthermore, they weren't originally warlike, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed.
Lacking combat experience and having to consider the wounded, they inevitably struggled in both offense and defense.
Unable to drive away the Graystone Men, they could only fight and retreat, resulting in a stalemate.
From their perspective, protecting their homeland and driving away outsiders is perfectly justifiable. This is a battle between orcs, unlike the Yellow Earth people who passively accept and unilaterally suffer slaughter; there is absolutely no need for them to intervene.
On his way to Graystone Settlement, Impelio unexpectedly discovered this group of people and brought his Beast Soul Legion with him.
The moment the massive, dark mech army appeared, the two sides, who had been locked in fierce combat, froze instantly.
The Graystone Man had never felt such a heavy sense of oppression before, and he wished he could run away immediately.
But their way back was blocked by the Beast Soul Legion, so they could only look at Adrian.
But then, the leading beast soul mech also headed towards Adrian.
"Could they be planning to wipe us all out here?" One of the gray stone men suddenly seemed to have a brain, and was filled with extreme fear.
"Really?" someone said, skeptical, but their tone was uncertain. "If he really wanted to make a move, there's no need for him to choose a time like this, is there?"
"Using someone else to do the dirty work!" someone else exclaimed. "If he dies here, he can say it was done by the Silvermoon people, and then he can go back and take over Graystone without any problem..."
"Master Renjingyao City, do you even care about our gray stone?"
"Why wouldn't you care? Don't you care that he's been with us for so long?"
"Stop arguing, let's see how their relationship is first!"
"Lord Burning Beast." Impelli approached, first greeting the young master, but still received no response, before turning to Adrian.
“Lord Finch, these two mechs… do not seem to be of the Beast Soul Mech standard.”
"Hi!" Apollo raised his hand in greeting, "Mr. Glory, it's me."
"It's you?" Impelio immediately matched Apollo with the talkative red-haired guy, then looked at the white mech next to him and finally understood why Adrian was so wary of these two people.
Then he couldn't understand why Adrian was still so afraid, since both of them were under the restriction rings...
But that's not the point.
The female figure that the white mecha was holding caught his attention.
If I remember correctly, she was the third person to attend the auction. I hadn't seen her before and thought she was dead.
Now she suddenly reappears, and look at the bloodstains and filth covering her clothes...
“Excuse me, is this…” Impelli asked.
"No comment." The white mecha replied decisively.
"Beautiful!" The black mecha clapped its hands.
Impellio hadn't expected the boomerang to come back at him after going around in such a big circle, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He turned to the Silvermoon people who were looking at them warily.
"Who among you knows how to repair underground energy pipelines?"
The men left behind in Crystal City to search reported that those troublesome Silvermoon people were too difficult to find. Even if they caught one or two, they were all tough nuts to crack; they wouldn't cooperate in repairing the pipeline, and they couldn't even be pried open.
Impelli was initially troubled about how to proceed with Valerius's repair mission, but he unexpectedly bumped into other Silvermoon people here and quickly figured out the key.
Those who remain are either gentle or timid, making them easier to communicate with than impulsive brutes.
However, he underestimated the Silvermoon people's hatred for Crystal City.
Even with the promise of great rewards, the Silver Moon people below remained unmoved and not uttered a single word.
They wouldn't even look at the Beast Soul Legion directly, as if they were something dirty to look at.
“Have you thought this through?” Impelio’s voice was cold and hard. “If you don’t make amends now, it will be too late to regret it later.”
"Don't think that what others did has nothing to do with you. The wrath of Crystal City will be borne by all of you Silvermoon people, and no one will escape! Cooperating now is your only chance to make amends."
"Come on then!" someone sneered. "It's nothing more than killing us all! Even if you kill us, no one will repair your pipelines or supply you with energy. Your Crystal City can just wait to fall to the ground and be smashed to pieces!"
Impelli frowned, about to lash out, when someone suddenly shouted from the side.
“That… Mech Lord!” Someone in the Graystone settlement raised their hands high.
"Do you think we can do it? We can fix pipes too!"
