Chapter 169: Preparing for War

The city of fantasy, a central area blocked by light and closed to outsiders.

Vincent walked through the rigorous licensing and certifications set by the Pioneers before entering the underground space that had undergone a sea change.

Once shaped by the pioneers as the last barrier to protect the wishing network, and by the way, to serve as a real-life meeting point for the pioneers when necessary, after the pioneers have worked together to renovate, this place has become a hot production workshop.

All kinds of strange and hideous large machines are neatly arranged in this empty and wide underground space, the conduits and pipelines that transport energy are crisscrossed to maintain the continuous operation of the machines, and the black conveyor belts connect many machines to each other, constantly entering raw materials into the boxy, coffin-like device, and then the finished products will be transported out and sent to other large machines for sorting and sorting.

Under the conveyor belt, those transparent cubes about the size of a palm are being transformed into glittering wooden wedges, iron nails, and various huge cannonballs and giant guns at an incredible speed......

Rao was mentally prepared, but Vincent still frowned when he saw this sceneβ€”he knew that these crystals, which were placed on a conveyor belt as raw materials and put into the feed port, and then transported to the boxy coffin to be shaped and given concepts, were crystals created by the pioneers based on the study of the wishing network, and claimed that their properties and forms could change according to the needs of the user.

Cornerstone crystals.

As the captain of the Rebel Guard and trusted by the Pioneers, Vincent was no stranger to this sophisticated product, and the restraints that were now used to bind Maury were made of this keystone crystal.

And what surprised Vincent even more was that through the tempered glass of the shaping cabin, he could clearly see the people lying in those coffins, shaping the crystals and giving them concepts - they were actually the pioneering heroes of the Age of Great Wonders!

He saw Nick, who continued to lead the group of Pioneers after the fall of the Miracle Saint, with gray hair and a serious expression.

I saw Haaland, a giant man who had taken the lead in defeating hostile forces in the Battle of Miracles and was in charge of the conquest and rebellion in the pioneering era.

I saw Lily Lin, a webweaver who had single-handedly established the Asian Wishing Network.

Saw the gourmand Kent ......

See......

Vincent made a rough estimate and found that nearly a third of the Pioneers were lying in coffins.

Their expressions were solemn and solemn, and the captain of the rebel guard could not help but feel that he was looking at the remains of the pioneers.

Through the limited perspective through the tempered glass, he could faintly see that the pioneers were connected to various hoses and wires on their bodies and heads, and these lines and pipes connected these flesh and blood to the cold mechanical machine.

Seeing the Pioneers neatly placed in their coffins as if they were part of the machine, Vincent seemed to be greatly shocked: "This...... It's ......"

"You should know that a machine without a soul cannot get a response from the Make-A-Wish Network." Luther walked up to Vincent at some point, he was wearing a loose white lab coat, his hands in his pockets and looking at the shaping pods with a critical eye, "And the processing of cornerstone crystals can't be mass-produced by the wishing network, but these gadgets themselves have similar characteristics to the wishing network, which will conflict with the wishing network's wishing response, in order to prepare enough weapons to deal with the calamity matrix in a short period of time, they can only be wronged and let them lie down." ”

"It's not...... But this ......" Vincent opened his mouth and pointed to the rows of coffins that were neatly arranged all the time to make special weapons against the Mother Calamity, and his expression was complicated.

Luther waved his hand as if he saw through the worry in his heart: "Don't worry, I'm a humanitarian, all the pioneers are willing to participate in the plan, and use a shift system, everyone is divided into three shifts, and each person lies in it for eight hours a day, which can ensure that the entire production line does not stop." ”

"It's not...... Actually, I want to say, why is the shape of the shaping chamber still the way it ......" Vincent interrupted Luther's chatter, "Didn't I submit the proposal to prohibit the shaping of the cabin in the shape of a coffin to the Pioneer Council before......"

Luther smiled slyly: "I have suppressed that proposal, and my taste is beyond doubt. ”

Vincent: "......"

Seeing that this acquaintance was dumbfounded and speechless, Luther's originally gloomy mood became happy, and he changed the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about the business of calling you here this time." ”

"When I received an urgent call from the Pioneer Council, I thought something was wrong......" Vincent glanced at Luther, "Now it seems that it is indeed a big deal to be able to put the Pioneer in a coffin......"

"Ahem...... Okay, let's get down to business, why I really called you. The smile on Luther's face gradually retracted, and his expression became serious: "As our research on the Calamity Mother deepens, we can warn of the appearance of the Calamity Mother through the matrix fragments to a certain extent, preliminarily decipher the behavior patterns and action priorities of the Calamity Matrix, can guide its appearance area, and can detect and track the nearby Calamity Matrix, the problem will arise......"

"What's going on?"

"Haaland feels that the first strike is stronger, relying only on early warning and tracking the Mother of Calamity will always be one step behind in strategy and tactics, and after having weapons that can fight against it, he must take the initiative in order to grasp the path to victory in the war against the Mother of Calamity."

Vincent blinked, he didn't quite understand what was wrong with this proposal: "Lord Harland is right, taking the initiative to encircle and suppress the Calamity Mother is the best way, and we are always ready to fight against the Rebel Guard, once the Pioneer Council gives the order, we will not hesitate to go to the battlefield immediately, regardless of sacrifice, regardless of life and ......death."

"It would be nice if it was really just an initiative to encircle and suppress it......" Luther shook his head and sighed, "His proposal is to lure out the Calamity Matrix, the bait is a medium-sized city, if you can, it is better to set up a large city as a trap, bring the anti-Calamity Mother Arm, and the Rebel Guard and the Pioneer Council will go out and ambush the surrounding around at the same time and wait for the Calamity Mother to appear." ”

"This ......," Vincent's eyes widened in disbelief, and he first thought of the inhabitants of the city for the Pioneer's proposal, "what about the people who live in the city......

Luther didn't say anything, but Vincent also realized the answer to this question based on years of experience fighting the Mother Calamity: the people were naturally part of the bait......

In addition to those who were killed by the distortion of their own desires, and those who died under the influence of the miracle saints, most of them were eaten as food and nutrients - the Mother Calamity can eat people.

"To make matters worse, half of the Trail Blazers Council has already passed this proposal, and the time for a decisive battle has ......"

Before Luther could finish speaking, Vincent interrupted him with a low roar: "Are they crazy! Didn't you stop them? Mr. Nick didn't say anything about it either? There is also the ...... that should see the situation clearly and measure the situation."

"Personally, I voted against it, but it's a pity." Luther stretched out his hands and said that he could not do anything about it, "As for Thomas who is in charge...... He is second only to the Miracle Saint Profit Supremacist, and he can do the same thing that the Miracle Saint can do, and Mr. Nick ......"

"After the dawn of overcoming the Calamity Mother, Mr. Nick has begun to lose control of the situation......"
