Chapter 1418: Chapter 436 How Outrageous Can This Guy Be?_2 Chapter 1418: Chapter 436 How Outrageous Can This Guy Be?_2 She knew Leonard Churchill’s methods and his close ties with the Rebel Dragon Army of the Southern Continent, so she assumed that “reinforcements” referred to experts from there.

That indeed wasn’t very convenient to discuss in detail.

Leonard Churchill didn’t say, and Seven Brown, understandingly, didn’t ask.

However, the seven team members beside them furrowed their brows tighter and tighter.

These young Mechanics knew almost nothing about the situation beyond the East Wilderness, and it was hard for them to understand where Leonard Churchill’s calm confidence came from.

Seven Brown was aware of her teammates’ worries and knew that they needed something to boost their morale now.

She asked again, “So… Leonard Churchill, what should we do now? We’ve been targeted, and if we can’t deal with that Titan Mech, I’m afraid we can’t go anywhere.”

Leonard Churchill wasn’t surprised at all. In fact, from the moment they met, he had even guessed everything about their entry and exit.

He countered, “Why do you think the people from the Orlan Royal Court didn’t kill you?”

Seven Brown said directly, “For the intact battle armor, for the experimental equipment and data we carry, and to find the location of our base.”

Listening, Leonard Churchill still had a slight smile on his lips, “So, what do you think is the best way for them to get these things?”

Seven Brown had long contemplated this issue and answered directly, “To capture us alive.”

Leonard Churchill nodded and continued to look at her inquisitively, as if to pursue, “And then what?”

The people beside them were confused. Weren’t these questions obvious to anyone? What was there to question?

Seven Brown instantly understood what he meant, saying, “You mean… how can they capture us alive?”

Leonard Churchill nodded, “Mm.”

“…”

At this thought, Seven Brown’s brow immediately furrowed.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered it.

On the contrary, she had thought about it countless times along the way.

They could die in battle, but by any means, they couldn’t let themselves be captured alive.

Yet just as she was about to voice her thoughts, she realized that Leonard Churchill would certainly have considered such an obvious issue.

There must be a deeper meaning behind this question.

So instead of responding hastily, Seven Brown fell into deep thought.

Leonard Churchill observed but didn’t rush her for an answer.

Danger was always the best pathway to growth.

He could easily solve the problem, but he wouldn’t be able to help with every danger in the future.

He had realized that among the pursuers from the Orlan Royal Court, there was someone who laid out plans very craftily.

It seemed to be a counselor with extensive experience in strategy and combat.

Seven Brown was no longer the gang Elder Miss she used to be.

This kind of strategic confrontation was an invaluable experience for a competent commander.

After pondering for a moment, Seven Brown still couldn’t figure it out and could only ask, “So, what are you getting at, Leonard Churchill?”

It is sometimes hard to see through a situation when one is in the middle of it, so Leonard Churchill timely reminded her of a keyword, “Mental illusion, or perhaps some other Mysterious Type of skill.”

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Seven Brown’s expression became even more somber.

She thought about it and it made perfect sense.

To capture them alive, the best method was not through direct combat, since that was simply impossible.

The Hunting God Armor could exempt almost all known illusion techniques.

Therefore, they could only be captured by controlling their bodies directly with a mysterious system spell when they were off guard, like now while they were camped and resting.

But… they had thought of this approach before.

Seven Brown didn’t know what Leonard Churchill had seen, but she also tried hard to think of what she might have overlooked.

However, the young teammates beside her were becoming impatient.

They had listened to the entire conversation between the two but couldn’t keep up with Leonard Churchill’s thinking like Seven Brown could.

Seeing their own team leader ponder over such a simple question for so long, the young man named Rocky Smith finally couldn’t help but speak up, “Sir, I mean no disrespect. But perhaps you don’t quite understand the Mechanical Battle Armor we wear. This ‘Hunting God Armor’ isn’t just any mechanical device on the market. Its design considers nearly every possible combat situation. Including mental magic spell impacts…”

Rocky Smith thought Leonard Churchill was unaware of the battle armor’s properties, which is why he posed such a question.

He continued to elaborate, “The helmet of the Hunting God Armor is made from Abyss Copper, a high-grade metal that can shield against mental pollution. Not to mention, the inside of the armor is furnished with complex protective curses that can withstand any mental illusion and Mysterious Techniques. Moreover, the Mecha each have a self-destruct mechanism, and we will activate the self-destruct mode if we cannot escape. So it’s impossible for us to be captured alive on the battlefield.”

As he spoke, a sense of pride and courage unfurled on the young man’s face.

Although the other six young Mechanics didn’t speak, it was clear they felt the same.

What they didn’t know was…

Leonard Churchill not only knew the detailed parameters of the Hunting God Armor but also the blueprints for the armor, which were obtained when he and Seven Brown had gone on a heist.

Seven Brown saw her teammate speaking and wanted to remind him, “Rocky, don’t…”

However, Leonard Churchill interrupted her, acknowledging the statement, “Yes, you’re right.”

With that, others were even more puzzled.

But he suddenly changed the topic, addressing everyone, “What if it’s not during combat? You don’t always wear the battle armor, do you?”

This question made the team members exhibit an “oh, this guy really doesn’t get it” expression.

Only Seven Brown continued to ponder.

Rocky Smith, although dubious about this reinforcement’s reliability, continued to explain patiently because he was a friend of the captain, “Sir, it’s practically impossible for that situation to occur. Our portable Mecha equipment includes a ‘Higgs Life Detector,’ a ‘Fifth-Generation Energy Fluctuation Detector,’ a ‘High-Sensitivity Mechanical Signal Capturer’… These pieces of equipment are a bit complicated to explain, but you can be assured, as long as any target approaches us, we will detect it immediately.”
