What the hell do you mean a Dreadnought Mecha was blown up by a wooden stick?The rebel leader really wanted to curse. He was intently listening to the speech of the Third Lady, trying to find flaws in the air defense system of the First Special District. He hadn't yet figured out anything, when someone rushed in and told him such baffling news.

"Do you even hear what you're saying?"

The Commander-in-Chief sternly questioned his subordinate.

He had to make sure they were discussing war machines intended for the front lines, boasting firepower capable of easily wiping out a troop of hundreds in the Edge World, and not some mascot at a fast-food restaurant.

"I know it sounds unbelievable, but... but... see for yourself!"

Alarm sounds connected throughout the lower deck, the defending soldiers fled in panic after hearing the invader could dismantle a Dreadnought Mecha barehanded. They all cowered into the middle deck like turtles, sealing off the entire lower deck, hoping the invader would be trapped inside.

The subordinate tremblingly adjusted the holographic projection to the lower deck. Zhuang Xiao flashed to view, sitting on the top of a Dreadnought Mecha's cabin, tightly gripping a wooden stick. She stabbed into the metal coating, then performed a beautiful backflip, landing steadily on the ground without a glance at the explosion.

This scene nearly made the rebel leader's eyes pop out of his sockets.

He suspected at one point that he was watching a dumb popcorn movie produced by a bored film company. Even in a popcorn movie, this would be extremely nonsensical and devoid of scientific spirit. He would sharply criticize these recent paper people for sacrificing their brains just for visual effects.

Yet the shocking scene for the Commander-in-Chief did not stop there.

He distinctly saw Zhuang Xiao approach a tightly closed cabin door, fumbled out a piece of cardstock from her pocket, studied it seriously for a moment, then lightly sliced the cardstock through the door crevice, opening this safety door, tough enough to resist heavy weapons, as if it were a mistakenly locked wooden door of her room.

"This invader, this woman... where the hell did she come from?"

He brewed for a long time but could only muster this sentence.

Zhuang Xiao continued to advance with her inexplicable method, as if nothing could hinder her steps.

Meanwhile, far away in the center square of the First Special District, the Chief Prosecutor was questioning Rowena about Zhuang Xiao's landing point.

"Third Lady, why did you choose the landing point in the lower compartments of the command ship, where Dreadnought Mechas and numerous war weapons are stored!"

He understood the structure of command ships, when the Edge World required large-scale ground sweeping, hundreds of Dreadnought Mechas would be deployed onto the planet's surface from the command ship—bringing destruction and death to the Edge World cities with outdated equipment.

He intensified his tone, developing a bad suspicion in his heart, "You should know Dreadnought Mechas are not something humans can contend with."

"I know, but the warlord of the tribe doesn't."

"Third Lady."

The Chief Prosecutor said with a solemn face, "Can I understand it as your hope to eliminate another threat to the Holy City this way?"

Before Zhuang Xiao boarded the aircraft, Rowena temporarily altered the plan, redeploying all elite forces of the tribe, leaving only Zhuang Xiao to board the aircraft. Oddly, the landing point was at the most dangerous area of the command ship; he could already imagine when all the Dreadnought Mechas activate, even the heavy machine gun barrage would be enough to keep Zhuang Xiao from showing her head.

According to him, the tribe had been forging weapons against the Demon these days, maybe they weren't adept at dealing with high-tech mechanical creations.

To eliminate threats to the Holy City using rebel hands, then subjugate the entire tribe—this was undoubtedly the practice of the Origin Society, always achieving their aims bloodlessly.

"The tribe is still our ally, now is absolutely not the time to scheme against allies!"

Rowena could only sigh in resignation upon hearing.

"Precisely because she knows nothing about Dreadnought Mechas, those war machines pose no threats to her."

If it were normal circumstances, she'd be too lazy to deal with such a... little fool, "You still don't fully grasp the secrets of 'My Power of Thought.' It's not only an enhancement for oneself; it can influence surrounding units. If the warlord is completely unaware of the Dreadnought Mecha's role, those things are just a bunch of clumsy, awkward iron lumps to her."

Rowena's explanation left the Chief Prosecutor stunned.

Has the Third Lady considered even such matters?

He actually speculated that 'My Power of Thought' was invented by Rowena, as it seemed like the Third Lady understood the miraculous power's use even more than Zhuang Xiao and the tribe residents.

"Just think, according to your plan, placing that girl in a relatively safe area, after breaking through the first-floor direction, the rebels would surely activate the Dreadnought Mechas without hesitation. At that point, she could likely learn the power of the Dreadnought Mechas from their conversation and expression."

Rowena continued, "But now, if that girl dismantled a few Dreadnought Mechas the moment she landed, despair would deeply imprint on every rebel's heart, even they will genuinely believe that girl is so powerful she can't be defeated."
