Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 1007 - 697: United as a Blazing Flame (Part 2)

"We co from different places, with different pasts, mastering different skills. But today, we stand under the sa starry sky, on the sa land. For a common na—'Bauhinia'. And for a common promise—'Dawn'."

"The universe is vast, full of opportunities and dangers. The fangs of the Bug Race have never been far away, and the shadows of higher dinsions loom, while humanity is not united within, with suspicion, betrayal, and oppression never ceasing."

Bai E's tone beca progressively solemn, "The planet beneath our feet was once barren, desolate, forgotten. The people living here were once numb, desperate, unable to see tomorrow."

"But that is all in the past." His voice suddenly rose, carrying an indisputable resolve, "From the mont we decided to change, from the mont we chose unity, resistance, and construction, the past has already been left behind!"

"We repelled the pirates and established order!"

"We integrated Mine Star and began construction!"

"We faced the Bug Race and protected our holand!"

"We rejected absorption and chose independence!"

"Now, relatives from afar have responded to the ancient call and returned across the Star River!"

Every sentence was like a heavy hamr, striking everyone's heart, awakening mories they had experienced or heard of.

The miners recalled the change from slaves to free people, new immigrants recalled the hope they found here, and veterans rembered the life-and-death monts of fighting side by side.

And the new responders felt the passionate cohesion that transcends ti and space.

"Today, we gather here not to commorate the past, but to create the future!"

Bai E's voice was like a sharp sword unsheathed, dazzling, "The 'New Bauhinia' is not anyone's vassal, not a lingering remnant of the past! It is a newborn, independent holand with infinite possibilities! It is the kingdom that belongs to every one of us!"

"We have converged here not to retreat to a corner, but to prove to the entire universe—that no matter how low the starting point, no matter how strong the enemy, as long as our hearts are united and our will unyielding, we can carve out a place of our own in this Star Sea!"

"The Star Alliance championship final is the stage where we declare the existence of the 'New Bauhinia' to the universe! We must let everyone see that we, from the Edge Star Domain, have the strength and determination to reach the pinnacle!"

"But this is not just for honor! It is for survival, for developnt, for ensuring that everything we cherish—our family, friends, holand, civilization—can stand firm in the storms of the future! We must earn respect with our strength, exchange achievents for resources, and create miracles with unity!"

He paused for a mont, his gaze penetrating as if to reach into every person's soul.

"The road ahead is destined not to be smooth. Training will be exceptionally tough, the competition filled with challenges, and enemies in the dark will not cease their prying. But I believe, every person standing here is ready."

"Because we do not fight alone." Bai E's voice lowered, yet it carried more power.

"Behind us is each other. Beside us are our comrades. In our hearts is the sa holand, the sa belief!"

"Tell !" Bai E suddenly raised his volu, addressing the thousands in the audience, "Are you willing to fight with for the 'New Bauhinia'? To fight for our holand? To fight for the future that belongs to us?"

After a brief silence—

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Thunderous shouts erupted into the sky!

As if to scatter the clouds over "New Jing City"!

Miners waved their tools, soldiers beat their chest plates, new responders raised their arms high, and excitent, fervor, and unreserved trust were written on everyone's faces!

The waves of sound rose high, rging into a magnificent spiritual torrent, echoing and reverberating above the square!

"Long live Lord Bai E!"

"Long live the New Bauhinia!"

"For the holand! For the future!"

On the side of the high platform, Catherine looked at the boiling crowd below, at the amazing new companions beside her who were equally shouting excitedly, and then at the upright figure in front as if holding up the entire starry sky, her eyes instantly beca moist.

The sense of etherealness from rapid developnts, as if everything was a dream, finally hit the ground at this mont, transforming into a heavy and imnsely solid sense of presence.

It's real.

All of this is real.

This leader truly possesses the magic power to summon the Star Sea.

These powerful companions truly gather because of the sa na.

This ho nad "New Bauhinia" is truly rising with astonishing speed.

And she is both a witness and a participant in all of this.

Awe finally transford into a faith and pride infused into her very bloodstream.

The Black Beast was equally overwheld with emotion.

She was once a pirate leader, had t all kinds of people, and believed in the supremacy of strength.

But the scene before her, this kind of cohesion and identity that transcends interests and spans the Star Sea, was sothing she had never imagined.

She finally understood the "light" Xu Ruoguang had always held in his heart before her, what kind of existence it truly was.

This was no longer a simple "boss" and "subordinate" relationship but part of a legend being born.

Gong Yan, Kuang Xin, Xu Ruoguang, and others were also flush with excitent.

Dai Lian, Rose, Zhou Wenjie, Ares, and other new returnees had eyes flashing with the relief of finding a ho and a high fighting spirit.

Elorin scholars silently recorded everything, their evaluations refreshed once again.

This leadership charisma and collective cohesion even surpassed pure technical or military prowess.

He began to believe that the rise of "New Bauhinia" was probably an unstoppable trend.

After the gathering ended, the fully unified and morale-pumped "New Bauhinia" was like a finely crafted machine, finally assembled and starting to operate at full force, embarking on the final sprinting preparations for the Star Alliance championship over the next few months.

In just a few months, the developnt of Mine Star changed rapidly:

In terms of military and warti preparation, a mobile warrior unit centered around Bai E was quickly assembled into multiple cha tactical squads with distinct features, with Catherine, Rose, Ares, and others as the backbone.

The Fire Hamr Guild technical team brought by Dai Lian collaborated with Zhou Wenjie's Stardust Relic Reverse Engineering team. Utilizing captured Bug Race remnants and Bai E's ideas regarding the previous Storm Battle Armor, they began to focus on targeted enhancents and tactical equipnt developnt for existing chas.

The training was incredibly intense, and simulated battles were fought day and night without rest, yet there were no complaints.

The Seventh Legion of the Planet Defense Army underwent a complete upgrade, with Dai Lian's guild and new technical personnel assistance, all Seventh Legion warships were systematically maintained and partially upgraded. The Planet Defense Army replaced its equipnt with more standardized gear and underwent rigorous and professional tactical training led by Ares and so forr mbers of the Shield of Shadow, rapidly enhancing overall military literacy.

Simultaneously, an intelligence and tactical system was established, Gong Yan integrated the power of new intelligence analysts, forming an initial intelligence analysis departnt, systematically collecting and analyzing public information of potential opponents, attempting to construct a tactical database.

In the realm of science and industry, the foundation of a research system began to take shape.

Centered around Zhou Wenjie's team, in conjunction with so scientists and engineers who joined, they established the first comprehensive "Frontier Science Research Institute" in "New Jing City".

Research directions mainly focused on material science, energy technology, the application of Spiritual Energy, and... analysis and defense technology targeting Bug Race biological characteristics.

Industrial capability, livelihood and infrastructure, education, and external cultural relations saw comprehensive advancents.

In a few months, ti flew by amidst the unrelenting fight.

By the ti the official invitation and detailed schedule for the Star Alliance championship arrived at Mine Star Command Center through encrypted hyperspace channels, "New Bauhinia" had already been reborn anew.

A fledgling spaceport was hosting a fleet, ready to set sail; the city lights connected across the planet's surface; chas roared on the training grounds, warriors shouted angrily; the research institute was brightly lit, with intense discussions; people hurried along the streets, yet filled with hope.

Bai E stood at the top of the command center, overlooking the vibrant planet beneath, behind him the core mbers of the competition team that had completed the final selection and were now brimming with montum.

"The ti has co." he calmly said.
