Chapter 1521: Chapter 497: The Defeated Church (6k)_2

But there are always the unlucky ones.

This high-tier warrior was unlucky to encounter one of the only three 8th Rank powerhouses on the entire battlefield.

Apart from the flagship that Bai Yi attacked and the one Bai Yi encountered, this was the only 8th Rank believer.

But unlike Bai Yi, he lacked both the luck and strength, encountering a believer who was extremely adept at countering him and slightly stronger.

As a Mechanical Master, he ran into a believer skilled in technological creations, and his mechanical forces were almost forcibly controlled and taken away by the opponent.

Forget about effortlessly taking out the opponent, he barely avoided being taken out effortlessly himself.

Thankfully, due to the surplus of high-tier warriors from the side of the Three Great Civilizations, they called for timely rescue and managed to fend off this powerhouse with the help of other teammates.

As the Commander, he naturally understood what just happened, and with a reassuring tone, he advised:

"Lord Mechanical Demon, there’s no need to feel too down. You’ve done well.

Not to mention you, even if I had taken action personally, I doubt I could have done any better.

This was just the first battle; there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge. As Mechanical Masters, should we be defeated just because we faced a counter?

Moreover, your strong fleet has made a significant contribution this time, and you will receive ample rewards."

The Commander patted this high-tier warrior on the shoulder and said no more.

If one could be so easily dispirited, they wouldn’t be an 8th Rank powerhouse.

His words were merely to save face; becoming the only one to perform poorly in such an advantageous battle is quite embarrassing for an 8th Rank warrior.

However, the rewards from a victory can indeed cover many contradictions.

Thinking of the Commander’s mention of rewards, the Mechanical Demon did not continue sulking.

The originally displeased expression relaxed, and he silently nodded, though he still grumbled:

"Hmph, I know well enough, it’s just one failure, I won’t take it to heart."

It doesn’t seem like he’s not taking it to heart...

The Commander thought silently, avoiding further provoking the Mechanical Demon and turned to Bai Yi with the brightest smile:

"Hehe, Lord Fan Mao, you’ve really given us a ’surprise’...

Had I known your fleet possessed such quality, capable of such a level of tactical coordination, I wouldn’t have the heart to send them to probe.

It caused such significant damage to the fleet, almost half lost.

With their strength, they could absolutely be more effective elsewhere, even decisive.

Using them here is truly a waste..."

The Commander lamented, knowing this war wasn’t limited to this battlefield, and there are many future battles requiring not only his command but also the combat power and gains he can obtain.

Upon witnessing the fleet’s ability for coordination and maneuver, he already regretted it.

It’s like opting for short-term fortune by killing the golden egg-laying goose. If he could only keep this "goose" temporarily, he would undoubtedly squeeze every value from it.

But now this "golden egg goose" can continue to hold long-term use and value in his hands.

Now being lost due to his own carelessness, of course, he felt heartache.

Had he known, he would rather sacrifice his own fleet to preserve such a powerful fleet for bringing more value in future wars.

But what’s done is done, he cannot change it.

If he went for rescue at that time, it wouldn’t save the fleet and would make the original plan ineffective, leading to wasted warships sacrificed, and more could suffer loss that could have been avoided like this time.

Now, this is already the best result.

With a little guilt in his heart, the Commander solemnly promised:

"Rest assured, Lord Fan Mao, your contribution in this war is immense.

Not only did you hold off an 8th Rank powerhouse, but you also successfully took down the opponent’s flagship. I will make sure to highlight this in the battle report!

Moreover, we will not forget your fleet’s sacrifice, which reduced so many of our anticipated losses. I will especially mention this significant contribution of Lord Fan Mao in the battle report.

I will try to secure more resources for Lord Fan Mao.

Consider it compensation for your fleet’s loss."

There was no objection to the Commander’s decision, as every high-tier warrior respects powerhouses.

Bai Yi’s contributions and sacrifices in this battle were the greatest, as the Commander stated, Bai Yi’s fleet’s sacrifice provided crucial intelligence, indirectly reducing many of their fleet’s sacrifices.

Just for this reason alone, they owe Bai Yi a favor.

Some originally viewed Bai Yi’s righteous persona as mere self-decoration, but now they truly recognized this trait.

Needless to say, just based on Bai Yi’s willingness to sacrifice his strong fleet for them, it was enough to earn their highest respect.

Even though the additional compensation definitely occupied the collective resources of this battlefield, they were willing to accept it.

Of course, a large part of this is because of Bai Yi’s performance in this battle.

"So it was Lord Fan Mao who destroyed the flagship!
