The Mech Touch novel Chapter 2840

Chapter 2840 - New Promise

For a long time, the local authorities heavily restricted the amount of mechs the Golden Skull Alliance and the Infinity Guards were able to bring to the surface.

It wasn’t until very recently that Ves managed to persuade Master Werther Cline in loosening these restrictions for him. After all, he had become one of the most controversial mech designers in recent memory due to the widespread promotion of the controversial design duel.

Ves thought he’d be able to ship hundreds of mechs to the surface, but the reality was less than optimistic.

The mechs that emerged from Gentle Lotus Base only amounted to just twenty-eight mechs!

To be sure, this was much better than before. The Larkinsons, the Glory Seekers and the Cross Clan had only been allowed to bring a couple of mechs each. The Infinity Guards received a greater allowance, but only to a modest extent.

After the end of the first phase of the design duel, Master Cline pulled some strings to allow the different organizations to ship a couple more mechs to the surface.

The quantity was much less than everyone hoped, but at this point they were extremely vital in projecting a unified front against the refugee mechs!

While it seemed inconceivable for the paltry amount of mechs aligned to the Larkinson Clan to defeat a mob of 200 mechs, the former nonetheless projected a lot of strength!

The base defenders were all cohesive and unified. There was no doubt that their mech pilots would stand their ground and defend the base and its occupants at all costs!

The same determination was lacking from the refugees. The fact that they abandoned their previous homes and strongholds in order to attach themselves to a haphazard refugee train already indicated that they were lacking in courage.

In this regard, the ultralifers and the diehard rebels were much more superior!

In any case, the mechs deployed by the occupants of Gentle Lotus Base not only looked formidable due to their unity, but also their quality and distinctiveness.

Different from the biomechs employed by most refugee groups, the mechs utilized by the Golden Skull Alliance were all military-grade or equivalent to it! The quality of their armor systems, the power of their weapons and the discipline demonstrated by their mech pilots all made it clear that they were not to be trifled with! Each defending mech was at least four to ten times more expensive than the biomechs utilized by the refugees!

This was not a surprise to Ves. Second-class mechs were much less affordable on a relative basis. Their power was greater, but only wealthy people and organizations could afford to field and maintain them. If an outfit wasn’t good at generating revenue, then it could forget about fielding mechs!

The fact that every individual group in the refugee train was able to field a handful of mechs indicated that they were all good at something. Even if they looked rather shabby and pathetic right now, it would be a mistake for Ves to doubt their competence!

"It will be quite difficult to manage them all." Ves muttered.

When the bioshuttle carrying Ves, Vincent and his honor guard arrived at the entrance of the base, the Larkinsons gladly let the vehicle inside!

The first action he took after emerging out of the shuttle was to invite the Roving Hunters inside.

He requested the Roving Hunter personnel to leave their vehicles and line up in front of him. Although Captain Rivington did not feel comfortable in doing so, he nonetheless exited the c.o.c.kpit of the Taragon.

"What’s this all about, Mr. Larkinson?" The fit team leader looked puzzled.

"Before, I promised that you would have a place in our clan. I intend to keep this promise. Are you still willing to become a part of my clan?"

The Roving Hunters looked at each other. Most of them eventually looked up at Captain Rivington. His men trusted in their leader to make the right choice!

While the man weighed this important decision, Ves issued a couple of orders.

Nitaa approached and handed the Larkinson Mandate over to him. When his gauntlets held the heavy tome, he felt Goldie’s care and concern.

"I’m fine." Ves communicated to her in a spiritual fashion. "I’ll need your help, though. If we want to make it out of this place alive, we can’t do it alone. We need to gain the cooperation of as many locals as possible, and the only reliable way to do so is to induct them into the Larkinson Clan."

Nyaaa?

"I know it will be difficult, but I hope you can do your best to welcome all of these newcomers. Don’t be afraid to.. exert more effort into making them recognize the glory of our clan. I don’t want any second-guessers in our midst."

Ves knew that Goldie could be counted upon to handle the influx of new ’recruits’. However, even she had limits. The effect she could exert on someone’s minds was subtle.

No amount of persuasion would be able to convince stronger-willed people and fanatics!

While he did not think there were many of these kinds of people amongst the refugees, Ves already knew that the Lifers were awfully stubborn in certain matters.

The Golden Cat did not exert too much effort to connect Captain Rivington to the Larkinson Network. This indicated that the man genuinely accepted the clan in his heart! _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
