I rely on myself

Chapter 896 Hunter and Prey

The huge battleship Lemengaton can be seen from afar due to its huge size.

There were also three Barbadoros. All the soldiers who had participated in the battle against Tabins with Iogu and escaped were deeply impressed by them. At that time, only one plane was enough to cause them a lot of trouble, let alone three of them.

In addition, dozens of Hasmons were quietly surrounding the area, continuously releasing a large number of sub-machines, Bluman. From a distance, it looked like a huge beehive surrounded by a large number of bees.

"It's really interesting. No one would have thought that what was originally an internal power struggle in Gjallarhorn would eventually develop into a war with a civilian armed organization. How unpredictable things are."

Lesdal sighed as he looked at the huge army deployed in the outer orbit of Mars.

"Who said it wasn't? But I am very curious about one thing. Where did the Tekkadan find so many resources to build such a large army? According to the records we found, although they have a large semi-metal mining site, it is not enough, whether it is time or funds..."

The person who said this was Galio, who was standing behind Lesdal. Unlike the others, as the eldest son of the Badwin family, he had received all the education he should have. So after seeing the huge army of the Tekkadan, he instantly saw the hidden problems therein.

Iogu, Julieta and others who were also standing behind Lesdal could not answer this question. In the end, it was Lesdal who gave the answer.

"It's a wreckage belt. In the three hundred years since the Calamity War, countless ships have sailed through this universe, and quite a few have crashed. The wreckage of those ships has piled up, and because it would cost a lot to clean up or recycle them, basically no one would clean them up, and over time, a wreckage belt has formed.
If it's not surprising, the reason why the Tekkadan was able to gather enough resources to build that huge battleship and so many MAs was because of what they recovered from the wreckage belt."

"But if we want to collect them from the wreckage, then the cost will be huge. In order to collect enough resources to build that battleship and so many MAs, the manpower and material resources required will definitely be considerable. Let's not even talk about whether the Tekkadan has the ability to do so. Just for such a large-scale operation, I don't believe that no one will fail to notice it."

As soon as Lesdal finished speaking, Iogu interrupted and said that compared to his previous arrogance, he has become a little more calm now after some self-reflection and Lesdal's personal teaching.

It is precisely because of this that we can see this problem, although it is still not very good.

"Master Iogu, have you forgotten? The Tekkadan are capable of producing MAs. Even though they can only produce some submachines such as the Blumen at the beginning due to their own financial constraints, they will be able to expand their scale over time.
Moreover, unlike general human recovery, using sub-machines such as Bluman to recover debris is not only faster, but also unlike humans, those sub-machines can continue to operate and do not need to pay too much attention to environmental issues. It is probably because of this advantage that the Tekkadan successfully collected enough resources in the debris belt. "

It was Julieta who answered Iogu's question. While answering, Julieta kept looking at the other party with contempt. However, Iogu did not notice it because he was thinking about the problem.

"I see. Thanks, Julieta."

Lesdal did not interfere in the conversations among his subordinates. After all, this was also a way to demonstrate a good relationship.

But the next battle will begin soon, so Lesdal said to the people behind him: "Okay, you will have tasks for the next battle, so you should start preparing." "Yes, Lord Lesdal! Then I will withdraw and make preparations." x2
After hearing this, Julieta and Iogu both hurriedly said they would get ready. Only Galio did not respond immediately and remained silent.

Although both of them were a little curious about this, they still went downstairs to prepare when they thought about their own tasks.

After the two men left, Galio asked Lesdal, "This battle is different from the previous ones. Do you have confidence?"

Without further ado, Galio asked the most important question right away.

It is not surprising that Galio asked such a question. After all, it is different from the previous battle with McGillis.

Because of the information Galio provided, although Lesdal did not have complete control over McGillis' actions, he was not far off.

He had basically anticipated what kind of trump card McGillis would finally play and what actions he would take, so in the previous battle, Lesdal looked at ease from beginning to end, but this time was different.

Although it stands to reason that the Tekkadan is just a private security company and would not have any exaggerated performance, the facts perfectly illustrate that anything is possible.

Now standing in front of them was a huge army consisting of a huge battleship, three large MAs, dozens of Hasmons, and countless Bluman sub-machines, as if telling this truth.

So it was inevitable that Galio would feel unsure and ask this question.

"…………" Lesdal was well aware of Galio's concerns, because he had the same concerns, but as the commander of the Arianhrd fleet, he would not and could not show these emotions.

Otherwise, the subordinates will also become nervous, timid and retreat.

But now that Galio has seen through it and asked, Lesdal no longer hides it. He restrains his expression and speaks seriously: "To be honest, I am a little unsure about this battle. According to common sense, our army not only has an advantage in manpower, but also far exceeds the enemy in terms of elite troops. Victory is almost inevitable, but..."

"But the guy on the other side is not someone who can be measured by common sense, right?" Galio suddenly said what Lesdal did not say, and an extremely serious expression appeared on his face.

"…Yes, although I don't want to admit it, this situation is what the Tekkadan has been looking forward to for a long time. I don't know how much they have done to promote it, but I am sure that all the current developments and turmoil are what they have seen and prepared for.
In other words, in this battle, the Tekkadan is the hunter who has already made all kinds of preparations and is waiting for the prey to come to him, while we are the prey who have just reacted but have already stepped into it..."
