Who would have thought that the commander of the Federation's First Legion was actually the leader of the notorious star pirate group in the Dark Star Domain? Not only did he shelter the Federation's wanted criminal Arnold Percy and make money by selling mecha storage boxes, he also privately set up a mecha manufacturing factory to mass-produce and modify mechas. I don't know what his purpose is.
Aiden Gladstone was obviously very curious about the capabilities of the new modified mecha. He pressed the communicator on his hand, and soon a middle-aged man walked in. He was nearly two meters tall, with a strong build. It was obvious at first glance that he was a mecha fighter with very good physical fitness. He also wore a mask, making it impossible to know his true identity.
"Locke Barton!" Hall's voice echoed through Auckland's mind, and he saw through the man's identity at a glance.
'Who is he?' Oakland was extremely grateful that Hall had been able to remain invisible and follow along. Otherwise, even if he could see through these people's true identities, he would have no way to connect them to the highest power center of the Federation.
'He is Aiden Gladstone's adjutant, a combat division commander with the rank of major general, and the sharpest knife under Aiden's command. He has been responsible for protecting the Führer for many years, and in his early years, he made great achievements in the front line against the Zerg...' Locke Barton has always been a very dazzling existence among the army's mecha combat divisions, only slightly inferior to his father, who is known as the Federation God of War.
Hall thought Locke Barton was a very upright, honest and brave soldier, but he never expected that he would actually collude with the likes of the Star Pirates!
"Arnold, give the new mecha to Luo. Let him test it and see if it's really as powerful as you say."
"Yes." Arnold immediately handed the mecha storage box in his hand to Locke Barton.
"Luo, go and try it."
Locke nodded slightly to Aiden, then walked out carrying the modified new mecha.
Aiden turned on the light computer and projected the light screen onto the wall. It could be clearly seen that this was a training room.
Locke's figure soon appeared in the screen. He took out the new mecha from the mecha storage box and entered the mecha cockpit.
"Enter the mech and prepare to start." Locke's calm and indifferent voice came from the optical brain. He tried to move his body. "Initial energy is 100%, and the energy loss after startup is 10%, so the burden on the body is relatively light."
Locke drove the mecha for a few steps, then flew up, quickly circled the field and stopped, continuously testing the performance of the new mecha.
"At top speed, the mecha's energy loss is 10%, but the total energy displayed is 82%. The energy has a clear ability to automatically recover."
Arnold had only heard Jason talk about the benefits of this modified mecha, but he had not made such a precise analysis of how good it was. Now, listening to Locke's voice, a surge of ecstasy surged in his heart.
However, Locke stopped, raised his arm and froze for a moment, "I haven't found the storage location of the energy cannon and the Aurora Sword."
Aiden looked at Arnold at once, his eyes very sharp. Without the energy cannon and the Aurora Sword, the mecha had no effective means of attack at all!
Arnold's face turned green with nervousness. How could he have known this mecha wouldn't be equipped with weapons?! Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his expression turned extremely grim.
Oakland deliberately made him nervous for a moment before slowly stepping forward and saying, "Mr. Egg, when Mr. Black modified the mecha, he also integrated the weapon system into it. You can fire energy bullets directly from the mecha's palms to attack. In addition, the energy handle is hidden in the joint of the right hand. Press the button and it will automatically pop out."
Aiden Gladstone was silent for a while, then looked in the direction of Auckland. He looked him up and down with a sharp gaze, and finally said to Arnold, "You have a good son."
Arnold didn't know how to respond to this. Should he thank Mr. Egg for the compliment or be humble?
Fortunately, Aiden only said it casually, then retracted his gaze and said, "Continue."
Locke followed Oakland's instructions and, sure enough, he could fire energy projectiles from his left and right palms. While their lethality was only half that of the energy cannon, they consumed only 7% of the energy, making them a very effective weapon. He also used the energy handle, switching to the Aurora Sword, and tested it again, finding no decrease in attack power.
He tested the flamethrower under his feet and the thrusters integrated into the back of the mecha. It can be said that this transformation was very successful.
"Very good, I need fifteen such mechas." Aiden Gladstone said after turning off the light brain projection, obviously very satisfied with the modified mecha.
"Okay, no problem, but it will take about thirty days..." Arnold answered with a guilty conscience.
"Thirty days?! What did I give you all those heraldry masters for?!"
Aiden frowned deeply. Although Arnold couldn't see clearly because of the mask, he could still feel the dissatisfaction implied in this sentence.
"Mr. Egg, I'm really sorry, but this mecha is too large to be supported by a small spirit-gathering magic pattern. Mr. Black and my son have modified the energy circulation system of the mecha from a single cycle to a multi-cycle. Now all the heralds are working together. It will take at least two days to engrave the entire mecha..." Arnold explained quickly.
Aiden pondered for a moment and then said, "I understand. I'll find some more heraldsmen and give you fifteen days to deliver fifteen modified mechas."
After leaving the underground fortress, Oakland and Arnold returned to the mecha factory. Because they had to carry out the engraving work on the modified mecha, Oakland had recently been living in a small building behind the mecha factory. Arnold had it converted into many independent studios, similar to those in a processing center, so that they could work inside and rest comfortably in the bedroom.
"Well, you have grown up and are worthy of being my most valued son." Arnold patted Auckland's shoulder.
Oakland scoffed at Arnold's words in his heart, but on the surface he looked very touched and said, "Father, you are too kind."
"Have a good rest. We still need to continue engraving the magic patterns tomorrow."
"Father……"
"What?"
"Who is that Mr. Egg? Why are you so afraid of him?" Auckland asked tentatively.
When Arnold was a general in the Federation, he was a daring and shameless man who dared to do anything. Why did he suddenly become a coward here and was so fearful of Aiden? Did he know Aiden's true identity?
"Silly boy." Arnold didn't think much of it, thinking it was just his son's concern for him. "That's the leader of the Blood Moon Pirates, the man who controls the entire Dark Star Region. Your father and I are here thanks to his care. Here, his orders are supreme. Moreover, this gentleman has great powers and can accomplish anything. It won't be wrong to follow him."
Isn't that just supernatural power? He is the commander-in-chief of the First Army, the highest leader of the Federal Head's direct team. It is no exaggeration to say that he is second only to one person and above millions of people.
"I understand, father." It seems that Arnold is not clear about Aiden's true identity. Aiden is so eager to get fifteen modified new mechas within fifteen days. Maybe he has some intentions. They have to find a way to inform General Williams of this important news as soon as possible!
But the entire dark star field is blocked by the signal jammer. How can they convey this matter?
'A new mecha.'
'What? '
"I'm talking about that new mecha. You should find a way to steal one and engrave a spirit gathering array on it. I'll drive that mecha out in stealth, out of the range of the dark star field, and then I'll be able to contact my father."
'Okay, I understand.'
The author has something to say: o(╯□╰)o I'm just saying that this will be finished in about seven or eight days... If~uh, I publish a comic, will anyone want it? I can add some extra meat~
