Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 791 - 576 Military Region and New Products

It has been several days since the great victory at the Blackrock District Hive, and Weslin, having returned, is rapidly familiarizing himself with all the changes that have occurred in the military camp during his slumber.

He is pleasantly surprised to find that the camp has become much more docile upon his awakening, no longer as wild and intractable as before.

No matter what orders he issues, they are executed immediately and without question.

It seems that his father's decision was indeed correct. When he has sufficient prestige in front of everyone, even those thorns that never followed his will in the past must completely submit to his authority!

In the end, it's all thanks to Bai E!

Weslin looks at the figure standing quietly before him, ready to take orders, with nothing but satisfaction in his eyes.

After another one of his strategic decisions for the development of the camp is smoothly implemented, Weslin waves his hand at all the gathered officers and says, "That will be all for today's meeting, gentlemen... Although we have achieved a stage victory in our strategy to pioneer this world, I hope no one becomes blinded by this temporary success. Our Military Department is the city's sword, and there are many more challenges ahead of us, so please, remain vigilant."

"With that, meeting is adjourned! General Bai E, stay back, I have other matters to discuss with you."

"Yes, Marshal!" Bai E replies succinctly, while quietly signaling with his hand to the other officers, indicating that they should leave as ordered.

The many generals, walking away from the conference room in groups of twos and threes, stop and a disgruntled voice arises from one small group, "Damn, this is suffocating! We had to play along with that fool before, and now we have to play along with this fool, when will these shitty days end?"

"He should've just stayed comatose, now that he's awake, what's the deal? Under General Bai E's leadership, our military sector was doing just fine. What's he doing sticking his fingers into our business?"

No matter what partisan thoughts these officers harbor, at their core, they are still a group of warriors who believe most in the supremacy of strength.

Bai E has already conquered everyone with his power, and their eyes can no longer tolerate anyone else standing above General Bai E and giving orders.

"I don't know when General Bai E will be willing to make a move. I've had it with the lord of this city and his family!"

As a seditious voice appears, the others quickly cover his mouth, "Shh!"

Carefully looking around, especially at another group of gathered officers, they lower their voices, "Have you gone mad? How dare you say such a thing!"

Undeterred, the person replies, "What's there to fear? General Bai E is now the strongest in this city, and if he wishes, he could overturn the old lord's rule at any time! I think, for the new lord, it should be our General Bai E. And as you all have seen, General Bai E obviously does not want to submit to the lord's command. Confrontation is simply a matter of time."

"That might be true, but you can't just say it out in the open!" the objector says, glancing cautiously at another group of officers, "Now that Weslin's back, even though everyone is following his directives under General Bai E's orders, who knows if someone might play the part so well they actually defect in secret. We have to be wary of them!"

Coincidentally, an officer from the opposite group also looks over at this moment. They make eye contact, share an awkward smile, and then both look away.

Within that group, the officer who looked away quietly reminds his comrades, "We are certainly loyal supporters of General Bai E, but who knows what others truly think. We must beware of them!"

…

Bai E, left behind in the conference room, watches as Weslin steps down from the main seat and approaches him.

He gently places his hand on Bai E's shoulder, speaking with sincere reassurance, "General Bai, don't take to heart what happened on the day of our triumphal return. My father has always been overbearing; he feels uncomfortable if people don't kneel to him. You don't need to dwell on this, just avoid meeting him in the future. Rest assured, from now on in this city, you only need to follow my orders. As for what others say, you can ignore them entirely!"

"I don't know, Marshal." Bai E looked up blankly, meeting Weslin's gaze, "Was the city lord asking me to kneel to him?"

"..." Weslin paused, then laughed heartily as he patted Bai E's shoulder, "Ah haha! Not knowing is even better! Anyway, you did very well, just follow me with peace of mind, and you will have everything in the future!"

"Yes, my lord!" Bai E stood up respectfully, "If my lord doesn't have any other matters, I would like to go watch the new soldiers' training."

"Then go take care of your business." Weslin said with a smile and a wave of his hand, "But don't overwork yourself. Leave the tasks that others can do to them. As you will be in charge of more and more people in the future, it is not practical to attend to every single matter personally."

"Understood."

Leaving, Bai E didn't head for the new recruits' training ground; instead, he left the barracks and walked toward the wilderness.

Helen had returned!

With her brand-new creation.

...

"This is the brand new armor I have developed with the help of those death warriors in Grey Iron City!"

Helen, returning from the Intelligent Mechanism Base, didn't rush into the city but rather parked her product in the deserted wilderness.

The perimeter was guarded by modified death warriors from Grey Iron City, absolutely safe and confidential.

At this moment, upon Bai E's arrival, she simply pointed at a dark blue wearable armor beside her and explained with a smile.

Bai E first smiled at the Grey Iron City scientist who had come with Helen, then turned to take a careful look at the dark blue new model armor before him.

The nearly twice human-size mech still retained human limb features, with heavy-looking armor completely covering the body, although the silver armors at the joints were clearly designed for mobility, which seemed to be the only weak points on the mech.

"Want to try it out?" Helen asked Bai E with an odd smile on her face, sounding almost like a challenge.

"Try?" Bai E was a bit puzzled, "Am I to operate it?"

"Of course not." Helen said with a smile as she tapped on the fully enclosed metal armor, then took two steps back.

Realizing what she was implying, Bai E roughly guessed the meaning of "trying it out."

And as this thought flashed through his mind, the silent, dark blue armor vanished from its spot in an instant.

A blurry shadow rushed towards Bai E, and the huge metallic fist smashed down fiercely towards his face!

"Boom!"

The dark blue silhouette drew a graceful arc, crashing high into the distance...
