Not long after, Starnet News broke a sensational story: the military had concluded their investigation into the Imperial spies. The Empire had planted spies within the Federation to gather secrets, and their whereabouts had been exposed because they had targeted a modified mecha and were attempting to seize it. Investigations revealed a connection between this modified mecha and Arnold Percy, who had previously fled to the Dark Star Region. Furthermore, they had reason to suspect that Arnold Percy was the sole controller of the Blood Moon Pirates in the Dark Star Region.
Several pictures were also released, showing Arnold Percy's frontal image, showing him sitting in an extremely spacious office, commanding the pirates from a high position, and inspecting the mecha manufacturing plant. It can be said that his identity as the "ruler" of the Dark Star Domain has been confirmed.
The people of the Federation were in an uproar. They hadn't imagined Arnold Percy had actually traveled to the Dark Star Region, where he was controlling all the dark forces within it! He had even built a mecha factory, stealing the fragments of the magic pattern scroll passed down by the Oakland family and creating a new type of mecha. If his power continued to grow, it would undoubtedly pose a grave threat to the Federation.
Then, revelations surfaced about the kidnapping, murder, trafficking, and forced detention of numerous citizens of the Federation by the Blood Moon Pirates. The Federation's hatred for the Dark Star Region and the Blood Moon Pirates reached a new high. And the perpetrator, Arnold Percy, became a despised and reviled wretch.
Federal Head of State Derrick Bridges publicly stated that he would conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and that Arnold Percy, this cancer, must be eradicated.
"Oh, that's quite calculating. He pushed everything onto that idiot Arnold and cleared himself of all responsibility." After reading the report, Hall sneered.
"That's right. They are probably afraid that the Imperials will expose the secrets of the Dark Star Region. Rather than bringing disaster upon themselves, it's better to sacrifice the enemy to save the king." Oakland said with deep conviction.
"I wonder what plans they will come up with next..." General Williams' expression was also extremely solemn. Now he had a growing feeling that a storm was about to come.
"Don't worry about him. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. We just need to do our own thing. They will make the move and we will just respond." Hall did not take those people seriously. The head of state of a country turned out to be a villain who only used those inferior means and conspiracies!
"Hall is right... Oakland, if you allow me, I would like to teach the basic training method you taught us before to my subordinates and Lewis Swift. I hope they can become stronger." General Williams looked at Oakland, hoping to get his consent.
"Of course you can. The effect of that set of skills on humans depends on their qualifications, but for orcs, it will get twice the result with half the effort." Oakland was naturally willing to do so. Doing so would strengthen the strength of the Second Army. Lewis Swift was the commander of the Fourth Army and was a very good friend of General Williams. By strengthening the strength of the two legions, they would be able to better cooperate with each other in the future to face the great changes that might come at any time.
"In addition to this, we also need to take precautions in terms of armaments. In addition to the Blumer family and the Lowell family, which family is one of the three major suppliers of standard mechas for the federal army?" Oakland felt that they also had to strengthen their armaments. Aiden was constantly making new mechas. Even without him, it was not impossible to make them. They could not lose to the enemy in terms of mecha performance.
"The other is the Johnson family. The current person in charge is Francois Johnson. I have a good relationship with that guy. If we ask them to help build a new type of mecha, there should be no problem." General Williams also heard about the modified new mecha from his son. Whether in terms of energy utilization or various new functions, it is very good. We cannot let the enemy enjoy this advantage alone.
"That's good, but it still requires the cooperation of many heralds." Hearing this, Auckland felt much more relieved, but he was only one person after all. Even if his engraving speed was faster, it could not meet the needs of the entire legion. Everyone had to work together.
"No problem, I'll arrange it." Since Arnold's fall, General Williams has thoroughly checked the Second Army from top to bottom and made a list of an absolutely loyal core team. All those who might be suspicious have been eliminated. Now it's time to use these people. Many of them are very talented heralds. Letting them work with Oakland is an extremely valuable learning opportunity for them.
Everything proceeded smoothly. General Williams applied for military practice qualifications for Oakland and Hall at the school. Oakland's heraldic strength was clear, and his instructor, Comer, was very accommodating. After hearing General Williams' request, he agreed without hesitation. Hall had already won the Rookie Mecha Competition, proving that he was ready to graduate from the military academy at any time. His instructor didn't hesitate to give him a hard time and gave him the green light.
Hall led those carefully selected individuals through closed-door training. Whether they were mecha combat technicians or mecha repair technicians, or even the young soldiers in the logistics and medical departments, as long as they were trustworthy, he would teach them this basic set of cultivation techniques, allowing them to learn to breathe in and out spiritual energy, gradually improving their physical fitness. These individuals were personally assigned by General Williams to patrol space, and then quietly gathered on a small resource planet with abundant spiritual energy. Aside from General Williams, who had sent them out, no one would discover their true whereabouts.
Mecha combatants typically possess strong constitutions, their meridians wider than those of the average person. Therefore, they cultivate the fastest, with many successfully drawing Qi into their bodies within just a day or two, reaching the initial stages of Qi Refining. The cultivation speed of the orcs is even more astonishing, with many quickly moving past the initial stages of Qi Refining and reaching the Qi Gathering stage, expelling impurities from their bodies. While ordinary people with weaker constitutions may not be able to match their cultivation speed, they can still achieve the same physical enhancement.
Those who receive training will undergo a physical and mental test every day. This is also the time they look forward to the most. They are excited to see the test results increase little by little.
After seeing the test results sent by General Williams, even the commanders of the Fourth Army, Lewis Swift and Franks Johnson, could no longer sit still. They pestered General Williams to teach them this magical practice method. And according to what General Williams said, they carefully checked their subordinates and carefully selected a group of the most trustworthy confidants to secretly go to the resource planet for practice.
Franks Johnson, a true mecha builder, quickly produced the first batch of modified mechas according to the blueprints provided by Oakland. Using the storage rings and bracelets Oakland had provided, he quietly delivered them to the Second Army. General Williams had the heraldsmen he had personally selected from the Second Army learn the Soul Gathering Magic Runes from Oakland, engraving them onto the mecha components one by one.
Auckland also taught them the basic set of cultivation exercises. It was not that he was deliberately keeping it to himself and was unwilling to teach them the Fire Cloud Art, but the Fire Cloud Art had very high requirements for spiritual roots and comprehension. If it were not for his body being blessed with fire-type spiritual roots, and if it were not for the hundreds of years of accumulation from his previous life when he cultivated to the Golden Elixir stage, he probably would not have such good cultivation results. It would be better for him to let them learn the basic breathing exercises first, improve their physical fitness and widen their meridians, learn how to use spiritual power first, and then plan for the future.
These heralds were able to stand out and be selected to join the military, so their learning abilities were naturally not too bad. After knowing that they had the opportunity to study with the famous Auckland Campbell, they all worked very hard to learn, making progress every day. The speed of making a whole set of mechas became faster and faster. Moreover, after practicing for a period of time, with the blessing of spiritual power, the effect of the spirit-gathering magic pattern became better and better.
Of course, all of this was done in secret, with no word leaking out. On the surface, the Second Army was still investigating the kidnapping of Owen and Oakland, and General Williams appeared quite busy, seemingly oblivious to the unfolding events outside. With the next federal election drawing near, General Williams, Hall, and Oakland all knew that time was running out.
The head of state would naturally send people to conduct secret espionage, but they were discovered by General Williams, who had already strengthened his defenses and used some false information to divert their attention.
The author has something to say: Road construction started downstairs at 6am and lasted until 10pm, and renovations were underway upstairs from 8am to 7pm. I'm almost going crazy from being immersed in the noise every day. They don't even let people sleep in on weekends!!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻I didn't fall asleep until after 2am last night, and was woken up by the sound of pile driving at 6am. I almost went crazy!

Owen: It's nice to ride a dark horse once in a while. ^_^
Hall: Dad, you're bringing a horse into the house! You're going to regret it!
Maoqiu: I don't want to leave Lanlan! I don't want to! I don't want to see Big Brother and Dark Horse together every day. Dark Horse may be dark, but when they show affection, it will blind my cat's eyes!
Lanlan: Maoqiu is leaving, I can’t pet him anymore, what a shame!
Hall: And me too! My wife, rub me! Anywhere is fine! ＼(￣︶￣)／
