Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"Some things are safer to say face to face."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he found a seat and sat down.

"With this bait, besides the Star Core Hunter, there's also a chance to catch the Annihilation Lord."

"Oh, young friend Lin, do you have any inside information?"

Jingyuan's tone immediately became more serious.

"There's no inside story, it's just a feeling."

Lin Yuan shook his head.

"What I want to ask is, if we have indeed caught this big fish, has the general already chosen a hunting ground? You and I both know that the power of the envoys in battle is something that Luofu cannot possibly withstand."

Jing Yuan remained silent for a moment, then gave Lin Yuan a deep look.

“Young friend is quite right. Within Luofu, there is indeed a most precious bait, reserved for the Great Lord of Annihilation. Several major calamities in Luofu have been related to this. And the battlefield I have chosen is precisely here. However…”

He paused, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The time is not yet ripe..."

Seeing the conflicted look on Jing Yuan's face, Lin Yuan spoke leisurely:

"General, sometimes there is another way to fish. Why don't we wait for those who are willing to take the bait?"

Chapter 213 Ready

"Are they willing to take the bait?"

Seeing that Jing Yuan seemed to have some doubts, Lin Yuan changed the subject:

"General, do not worry. Let things take their natural course on the battlefield. However, if we wish to minimize the impact on Luofu, there is one more crucial point..."

Lin Yuan paused, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Jing Yuan.

"I would like to ask the general, when we were besieging the Great Lord of Annihilation, did Luofu have any other fighting forces prepared besides the two of us?"

"If we have sufficient power, the moment the Great Lord appears, you and I, along with the entire strength of Luofu, can attack together and swiftly kill him."

Jing Yuan remained silent for a moment.

Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lin Yuan politely pressed on:

"So, what are our hidden combat forces? Give me a hint in advance so I can be prepared."

Jing Yuan regained his composure and glanced at Lin Yuan calmly, saying:

"With you and me here, we are more than capable of dealing with the mere Extinction Lord."

Furthermore, the nameless passengers on the Star Train are said to each possess extraordinary abilities, their fighting spirit and patience astounding. As a secret weapon, they are sure to surprise that Annihilation Lord.

"So...besides the two of us, only the people from the Starry Sky Train are left?"

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Jing Yuan's words.

His gaze held three parts disbelief, two parts mockery, and five parts profound meaning.

Jing Yuan said he didn't understand the look in his eyes. He stood up and strolled leisurely around the hall.

"The Ten Kings' Division...the Ten Kings' Division must have hidden forces, right?"

"The Ten Kings' Office has its own strengths, but the prison is a crucial location and should not be touched rashly."

"The Yunqi Army... Yanqing's elite guards are also incredibly strong."

"Young friend, you're letting Yanqing go into battle... are you serious?" Jing Yuan glanced at him.

"Then the future Sword Master can't go... but what about the current Sword Master?"

"........."

"Or perhaps those powerful figures from your generation... are still hiding in some street corner?"

"........."

Seeing Jing Yuan turn his back, Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly.

"General Jingyuan, how about this, I'll personally go and find some help for us. But if I do find any, the price will have to be factored into the contract between Shence Mansion and the company."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he took his leave without waiting for Jing Yuan's response.

A moment later, only a slightly helpless sigh remained in the hall.

Jing Yuan turned around and looked at the empty hall, but there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

.............

After leaving the Shence Mansion, Lin Yuan first checked the message sent by Xiao Han through his terminal.

Seeing that Scott had successfully joined the train crew, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Scott, Scott, in order to prevent you from ending up at Two-Phase Paradise after being transferred to the Strategic Investment Department, I've arranged for you to join the main characters' group in advance to build good relationships with them—I'm sure you'll get along well with them."

Feeling pleased with his good deed, Lin Yuan returned to Chang Le Tian's base and gathered his Hammerfall Squad.

"How have you been? Aren't you getting a little bored these past few days on Immortal Ship Luofu?"

"Yes, compared to Pierpoint, the entertainment here is rather lacking."

"At first it was fine, but then martial law was imposed, and all the street performers were sent home."

"Yes, we don't even have food to eat."

"I'm bored, I want to fight!"

Looking at the team members who each held their own version of events, Lin Yuan nodded.

"Alright, I see you're all tired from playing, so it's time to get back to work. I've asked the Shence Mansion to sign employment contracts for you."

All eyes immediately turned to Lin Yuan. Weren't they supposed to be buddies? How did they suddenly become contract workers?

"Captain Lin, I think Luofu is quite interesting. There are still many things we haven't seen yet."

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I haven't written my weekly report yet."

"I have no food to eat."

"I'm tired, I want to sleep."

Two-faced, huh? Lin Yuan just watched them quietly.

After a moment, the team members accepted the task with tears in their eyes. They went to collect their equipment and prepare to take on the missions assigned by the Cloud Riders.

Prior to this, as foreign powers, they were not allowed to bring large quantities of weapons and equipment into the country.

However, after signing the agreement with Shence Mansion, Lin Yuan has legally moved the weapons from the company's ships into the country in the past two days.

In this way, the Hammerfall Squad was able to be fully armed again.

In addition, Lin Yuan also prepared secret weapons for them.

"This is an energy grenade developed by the technology research and development department. Compared with conventional grenades, its special feature is that it will produce different reactions according to the characteristics of its internal energy."

Lin Yuan moved a box over and opened it, revealing many transparent spheres inside that shimmered with white light.

"Captain Lin, so what are the characteristics of this grenade?"

Seeing his teammates curiously handling it, Lin Yuan said softly:

"This grenade doesn't possess the lethality of conventional weapons, but it has one unique characteristic—if you encounter an enemy affected by the force of fate, throwing it will reveal its effectiveness..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up, and the image of that figure hovering in the sky above Sith came to mind.

"Captain Lin, could this be..."

Seeing the slightly excited looks on everyone's faces, Lin Yuan simply said softly:

"This is a small step for mortals to take control of their own path..."

After saying that, he gave everyone a look that they could interpret themselves.

"By the way... here's your contact information. If anyone asks for your help, go there immediately to uphold the company's authority."

At that moment, Scott saw the message sent to his terminal and let out a soft hum.

"I never expected that I, Scott, would also have the trump card of being able to deploy the company's elite team."

As he watched the train crew eating across the way, he suddenly felt much more confident.

"Brothers, let's eat too! This meal is on the bill from the Xianzhou people, we can't lose to that wretched Star Train—we have to eat our way up to the company's prestige!"

"Yes!"

..........

After arranging all this, Lin Yuan finally had time to fulfill his promise to Lao Jing.

Who should be chosen to lead the campaign against Huanlong?

He strolled leisurely down the street, several figures already appearing in his mind.

Meanwhile, the Star Train.

Dan Heng's expression instantly turned grim as he looked at the image of the blade in the holographic communication system.

"The immortal ship is in danger! This person...this person—"

"If he's on the fairy ship, then everyone—Mr. Walter, Star, and March 7th—is in danger! But..."

This was the first time Himeko had seen this usually calm and composed young man show such a panicked expression.

She spoke slowly, her voice gentle yet filled with concern:

"He's related to...what you're trying to escape, isn't he?"

Dan Heng nodded silently, then looked conflicted.

"But...but I can't just leave them alone. I'm afraid...my burden will catch up and drag everyone down with me..."

"Danheng...who can be without burdens? Even if Xiao Sanyue doesn't remember anything, she still has heavy things on her shoulders."

Himeko's eyebrows curved into a smile.
