The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4055

Chapter 4055 Hymenoptera Mech Line

Tristan understood why Perla Monater specifically brought him on an excursion to an industrial warehouse.

She wanted to introduce him to the living mechs that practically brought the Friday Coalition to its knees.

The notion sounded absurd and Tristan had a hard time believing in it if he had read about this from afar.

However, after coming face to face with the Hymenoptera mechs and learning how many of them had spread throughout the new frontier had opened up his perspective.

Ves and his clan had come a long way since they left the Milky Way!

A lot of pioneers struggled to adapt to the conditions of the Red Ocean, but the Larkinsons apparently thrived in the booming and chaotic environment.

Their rise exceeded the expectations of the Friday Coalition, so much so that the state had been forced to shelve its plan to assassinate Ves!

This was undoubtedly a major setback and source of frustration to the Fridaymen. The mech designer that turned the Hexers into deadlier and more intractable opponents was allowed to continue his work and aid the Hexer diaspora into rising again in the Red Ocean.

If not for the LMC's clever decision to branch out and compete in the market for both law enforcement mechs and industrial mechs, Ves would have been fair game to the Friday Coalition's secret operatives!

Though Tristan was sure that someone as rich and prominent as his old friend would have invested a lot in his personal security, there was still a huge disparity between the power of a clan and a major second-rate state!

Yet because of the massive amount of influence accrued through the sale of one of the lowest and most overlooked type of mechs, a state that had managed to grind down and overwhelm the Hexadric Hegemony in a massive sector-wide war had no choice but to compromise with an enemy!

This reality contrasted sharply with how the Fridaymen treated their archenemies. The former never compromised or made deals with the latter.

Despite how strong and aggressive the Hexers were at the time, the valiant members of the Friday Coalition bravely stood their ground and managed to end the greatest source of bigotry and tyranny in the Komodo Star Sector.

Every Fridayman including Tristan gained pride in taking part in this great endeavor! Winning the Komodo War was an accomplishment that would certainly be celebrated by many generations of descendents to come!

This was also why Tristan found the current situation to be absurd.

Defeating the Hexadric Hegemony turned out to be costly but doable for his state, but getting rid of a single Journeyman Mech Designer in the Red Ocean turned out to be a bridge too far!

This strange situation forced a victorious state that had just proven itself in war to adopt a much more humble posture towards the Larkinsons.

What was even funnier to Tristan was that the Fridayman diplomats still failed to attract the Larkinson Patriarch's attention despite the humility that they had shown!

It was as if the Journeyman and his clan were too powerful to bother with the demands of an entire second-rate state!

"The power of a mech designer can be great, but this is ridiculous!"

Ves had exceeded the scope of a Journeyman so long ago that his rank in the mech industry was completely misleading!

The amount and power of his innovations as well as the value that they brought to his many products were so overwhelming that he should have been a Master Mech Designer!

Tristan did not understand how his old friend hadn't advanced to Senior as of yet. Sure, he knew as well as any other Journeyman how much work and effort it took to reach the next rank, but a mech designer with as many accomplishments as Ves should have made this far already! _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

If not for the fact that Tristan had long given up participating in this race, he would have grown both jealous and envious at how much Ves took off these past few years.

"What will happen if we cannot strike any agreement with my old friend?" Tristan asked as he and his guide were ready to exit the warehouse.

"We will resume the fight as best we can." Miss Monater shrugged. "We will not give up our colonial holdings in this dwarf galaxy. If necessary, we will delay our reconstruction and consolidation efforts and funnel more resources into the Red Ocean to make certain that our colonies can hold their ground against the Hexers that have fled to the new frontier."

"Is it that important for our state to maintain a foothold in the Red Ocean?" Tristan questioned.

"Yes. There are too many reasons to count. Access to phasewater, forging new connections and giving our fellow Fridaymen hope for future expansion are just a handful of the strategic advantages that we can gain. There are more that I cannot even say to you. All of our coalition partners are united in this cause."

That was a serious remark. These days, the Friday Coalition was not as tight as before. The absence of a major enemy in the Komodo Star Sector had started to loosen the camaraderie between the different coalition partners.

The Gauge Dynasty that had always been powerful from the beginning had become more aloof and aggressive.

The members of the Gauge Dynasty suffered the least from the Komodo War, but demanded the greatest amount of territory!

On the other hand, the Carnegie Group and the Vermeer Group suffered badly due to the initial invasion of the Hex Army. Many of its star systems were still far from returning to their prime.

Given how much the Carnegies and the Vermeers had sacrificed to hold back the Hexer invasion, they should have earned more rewards.
