“Donna, could it be… are we under an illusion? How come I see the captain embracing a man… ”

“Why are you pinching me, pinch yourself! Idiot Rogue!”

“Could this be the ‘friend’ the captain mentioned?”

“…”

The members of the New World Mechanical Squad rubbed their eyes in unison as they watched the scene unfold before them, thinking they might be victims of an illusion.

However, after observing for a moment, their brains finally accepted what their eyes were seeing: Captain Seven Brown was indeed embracing a man warmly!

And judging by their intimate demeanor, they were more than just close.

What’s going on?

Seven pairs of eyes stared straight at the two of them, no one speaking.

But the same look of astonishment was written all over their seven faces.

The breeze was gentle, the sea of grass very quiet, with only the rustling sound of the grass waves.

After the climax of passionate longing in their reunion, reason slowly returned.

Just now, Seven Brown only had eyes for Leonard Churchill.

Now, however, she saw her curious teammates staring intently at her.

Only then did Seven Brown seem to remember something. Without any embarrassment, she introduced to the others generously, “Let me introduce everyone, this is Leonard Churchill.”

As she spoke, she turned to Leonard and introduced her companions: “Leonard, these are members of our New World Mechanical Group, Gibb, Rocky Smith, Dina, Donna…”

On one side was her closest friend, and on the other were her combat partners.

Seven Brown introduced everyone earnestly.

Both parties nodded their heads, acknowledging the introduction.

Some were familiar with the Wanted list from the East Wilderness and recognized Leonard as an “S-rank Fugitive” who was still on the list.

But precisely because they recognized him, there was an added hint of skepticism in their eyes.

The very powerful friend the captain had mentioned before… was it this man?

They had no doubts about the captain’s words.

But given the current situation, unless the Lady Valkyrie from the Revolutionary Army came to their aid, they couldn’t think of anyone else who could help them out of their predicament.

The seven young Mechanics didn’t say much, but the disappointment in their eyes couldn’t be hidden.

Without seeing reinforcements, there was still a glimmer of hope;

But now that they actually saw someone, it was as if all their fantasies were shattered.

If I remember correctly, on the Wanted poster, he was Fourth Tier, or was it Fifth Tier?

In the current situation, even a Seventh-Order Card Master wouldn’t be able to resolve the problem.

What use would this person be then?

…

Compared to the complex thoughts of her companions, Seven Brown felt no urgency whatsoever.

She knew her old friend’s character very well. If he said “No problem,” then there must be no problem.

But given the current circumstances, Seven Brown was also quite curious about what Leonard had in mind.

She looked at Leonard with expectant eyes and asked directly, “Have you advanced again?”

What she really wanted to ask was: Did you advance to Eighth Rank?

In Miss Rita’s opinion, she herself couldn’t believe Leonard could advance to Eighth Rank, so she didn’t dare to ask directly.

But what if…?

However, the truth was, the last time they met he was Fifth Tier, and now he was Sixth Tier, so he had certainly advanced.

Leonard looked at Seven Brown with that hopeful look in her eyes and shook his head with a smile, “I have indeed made some progress in strength. But it’s not as exaggerated as you think.”

As he spoke, he knew what she wanted to ask and added directly, “At least… I can’t beat Titan Battle Armor.”

The combat power of the Titan Battle Armor was comparable to an Eighth Order Card Master. Because of the unique nature of Machinery, it didn’t have the same weaknesses as humans. Even facing a Ninth Rank, it could still perform impressively.

It was originally designed by the Taren Dynasty to change the tide of war, a top-tier combat force. It wasn’t something that could be easily dealt with.

Not to mention Leonard at his current level, even if he were Seventh Rank, he wouldn’t stand a chance against this pinnacle of Taren machinery using ordinary means.

Upon hearing this, Seven Brown was taken aback, “Ah?”

If we can’t beat it, what do we do?

Before the brief panic in her heart could emerge, seeing that ever composed face again, she speculated, “Could it be… someone else is coming?”

But looking around, it seemed there was no one else.

Only Ivan in her pocket, who appeared to be sound asleep.

Leonard shook his head with a smile, uttering a sentence with a profound meaning, “Solving a problem doesn’t always require being able to beat it.”

Seven Brown was utterly confused, “Ah?”

How can you solve a problem if you can’t beat it?

Leonard didn’t offer further explanation but pondered for a moment, “This…”

Now he understood why conversations with strategists like Noah Wright always seemed to be half-finished.

It wasn’t about being intentionally obscure; it was that some plans could only be deduced, understandable to him, but telling others might require too much explanation.

Moreover, the lines of inference didn’t point to a single outcome but to multiple possibilities.

He could explain, but the listener might not understand.

Leonard thought it over, then looked at Seven Brown and instead said, “Rita, all you need to know is that if we really need reinforcements, we can call them.”

He had come to the East Wilderness to set up a Teleportation Array.

Griffith was right at the Old Continent Chain Alliance Army’s headquarters. A Space Scroll would summon him instantly.

With such an expert coming over, even the Titan Battle Armor could be dealt with.

But the Rebel Dragon Army Leader was not someone you could call over at will, not like a hired hand.

His favor was more valuable than a piece of machinery.

Leonard wouldn’t bother someone unless it was truly an insolvable problem.

…

Seven Brown listened to Leonard’s words and blinked.

While she hadn’t fully understood, since he said so, she trusted him completely.
