Chapter 1203: Chapter 704: Valkyrie*Zero_1 Chapter 1203: Chapter 704: Valkyrie*Zero_1 “I am Nora Camp. From now on, I will serve as the supreme commander of this operation.”

When Nora Camp’s voice resounded through the public channel, Nico Ross, who was undergoing an armor modification, was slightly stunned, but quickly understood.

He had been on the Glenoid Tribe Star for too long, experienced too many things, and had been profoundly impacted by conflicting ideas. He had nearly forgotten that the little girl who grew up with him was now a well-regarded, up-and-coming general.

Although she was young and had little experience in commanding battles, her talent had risen as swiftly as the morning sun, and she could not be ignored.

Thus, assigning this small-scale battle to her was justified.

Nora Camp did not communicate privately with Nico Ross but instead allowed the auxiliary AI to quickly distribute the appointment orders.

The nearly three million people on the Glenoid Tribe Statellite were divided into six teams.

Each team had different tasks.

Among them, two teams were responsible for the main offensive. Undoubtedly, one was led by Needham Brown. His Wind God Special Combat Team ranked first in the overall competition progress leaderboard, far ahead of the second place in terms of development and overall strength index.

However, the name of the captain of the other team sparked some controversy.

The few teams who had previously received orders and rushed to support were fine. They knew that although Nico Ross was not well-known and was at the bottom of the competition rankings, there must be significant reasons that they, as minor characters, were not privy to.

But most people who came here were proud and prominent, and the majority did not approve of a captain who only had a beetle.

Of course, since all contestants had become professional soldiers, their dissatisfaction remained private, only expressing it by opening a small team channel to complain, with no public protests.

But soon, these people received two explanatory documents about personal circumstances.

One documented Nora Camp’s promotion history over a few years. She was only eleven years old, commanded a special warship fleet for years, participated in hundreds of large and small-scale battles, with no battles exceeding the loss limits and no mission completion rates falling short.

Not long ago, she had even performed a general-level campaign task as a lieutenant general and completed it perfectly. In another highly confidential campaign mission, she received high praise. Her controlled troops suffered minimal damage in an extremely unfavorable overall situation.

This was another kind of approval for Nora Camp’s appointment. The main idea was, “You may not understand the commander’s decision, but your understanding is not important; what is essential is obedience and execution.”

The other piece of information was about Nico Ross.

It mentioned two things. First, Nico Ross had broken free from the Destiny Covenant Mark by his will alone and eliminated an enhanced Anti-gravity Centipede with just five entry-level beetles in an extremely unfavorable situation.

After reading these two documents, those young people who were previously dissatisfied shut their mouths.

It was a military force where power was paramount.

Perhaps Nico Ross was unremarkable at the beginning of the competition, but there was no doubt that he had undergone an enviable transformation during the Anti-gravity Centipede battle. For now, he barely deserved the position of captain.

The Destiny Covenant Mark had become an anchor in the minds of almost everyone. At any time, the Mark could provide some help. Everyone knew they had a Mark and developed an inevitable dependence on it.

When facing desperate situations that could not be resolved by human power alone, the Mark could help maintain calm and prevent collapse.

When the advantage was completely on their side, the Mark could, in turn, keep them vigilant to prevent overconfidence.

When there were irreconcilable differences and disputes, the Mark could make people involuntarily let go of the conflict and seek common ground.

When individuals needed to sacrifice themselves for the group, the Mark would also maximize their collective consciousness and create a strong mentality of giving up their self-interest in pursuit of the greater good.

Over a hundred years ago, the Destiny Covenant Mark proposed by Dylan Mitchell and perfected and promoted by countless scholars had played an indispensable role in human civilization.

People had completely adapted, and they couldn’t imagine how life would be without the Mark.

Nico Ross gave them a new answer.

But they didn’t dare to do the same. They could only speculate and imagine in their hearts.

Unknowingly, Nico Ross had become a catfish swimming in the hearts of the three million contestants and tens of millions of off-field think tanks. Due to Nico’s small actions, soundless ripples were slowly spreading across the lake surface.

…

In the following ten days or so, the team’s reorganization work continued as more and more teams arrived near the Flying Tiger Base, but they did not gather together. Instead, they assembled in this vast area of valleys and hills at a relatively high density.

From a visual perception and intelligence standpoint, this area was no different from the normal surface of the satellite. High-rise smelters were tightly packed, with one chimney after another spouting useless waste particle mist into space. Numerous beetles, centipedes, heavy-load spiders, sand dune worms, excavators, and multi-functional variable metal composites were bustling and flourishing everywhere they went.

In the previous failed surprise attack, human warships had left many wreckage pieces, most of which had been recycled for materials.

According to the normal labor pattern, the Glenoid Tribe Statellite would need nearly two months to fully digest all materials and launch the behemoth again, sending the usable products to their main planet.
