Chapter 42: We Should Work with the Puppeteer
Five ghostly fighters slashed over a desert like a ghost, throwing away several flying demonic beasts behind them.
After flying thousands of kilometers, I saw that there was nothing but desert on the ground, but it was still a desert.
A relatively calm area was chosen, five warplanes landed safely, and a meteorite-like object was dropped.
"Drop - Sub-base No. 40 activated!"
With the sound, the meteorite shimmered red points of light floated in the air, and after a pleasant metallic sound, a hemispherical black creature more than ten meters high appeared out of thin air, and the wide track sank into the sand half a meter deep, indicating his huge weight.
This is Sub-Base No. 40, and it is also the farthest sub-base released in the "Blossom Everywhere" plan.
As soon as the sub-base was activated, a group of thousands of mechanical troops immediately teleported through the wormhole and plunged headlong into the nearby sand and hidden, protecting the safety of the base.
In addition, a dense swarm of mechanical prospecting ants dispersed in all directions. Flora and fauna are scarce in the desert, but the energy converter of the Atlantean civilization is very powerful, and there may be some suitable energy or minerals.
At the same time, Subbase 40 began to produce mechanical units, and a few minutes later, the first Mecha Scorpion came out of Subbase...... The production capacity of the sub-base can reach 300 mechanical units per day, and in just a few days, the mechanical empire will become a force to be reckoned with in this desert......
This was the only team of demon fighters that landed smoothly, and the other four detachments were not very lucky, and all of them were destroyed halfway. Among them, Subbase 38 was the most unlucky, when it was hit by the magic crystal cannon of the city defense while passing through a human city, and was transported back to the city as trophies, along with the wreckage and the meteorite of the sub-base that was not activated.
Through the picture transmitted by the meteorite at the sub-base, Zhang Feng could see it clearly, and the other party was very surprised when he found that the things flying in the sky turned out to be mechanical puppets, and mysteriously blocked the news and hid the wreckage. Moreover, they apparently regarded the sub-base meteorite as a part of a high-level mechanical golem, and even invited a prestigious mechanical puppeteer from other cities to conduct research, hoping to create this kind of flying mechanical golem themselves.
Zhang Feng is not worried at all about whether the technology of the sub-base will be thoroughly studied. This is a high-martial planet, but in terms of technological civilization, it is not even as good as the earth.
If they can penetrate the technology of the Atlantean civilization, then hell is it. Fortunately, the other party was worried that it would not be repaired after the damage, so he did not cut it for research, otherwise it would be enough for Zhang Feng to feel distressed.
It's just that in this way, Sub-base No. 38 cannot be activated for the time being, and can only become a shadow.
Of the four "overseas" base areas that have been successfully built, three are in the Great Demon Forest, and the distance between them and the main base is more than 10,000 kilometers, more than 30,000 kilometers, and more than 40,000 kilometers respectively, and the last one is in the desert more than 100,000 kilometers away.
It took Zhang Feng a few more days to produce several sub-bases, bringing the number of sub-bases owned by each "overseas" base area to three, showing a full momentum of mutual support.
............
Just when Zhang Feng's mechanical empire was booming, the situation outside was turbulent.
After receiving the news that the three elite legions of the Bernard Kingdom were completely annihilated, the Iron-blooded Heavy Knights of the Trazis Family, who originally attacked Zhang Feng, immediately adjusted the direction of the march and aimed the spearhead at the Bernard Kingdom, and in just three days, they besieged the royal capital of Aros.
The reason for Bowen Trazes, the chief of the Knights of Iron and Blood, is fair - Miguel Trazes, the sister-in-law of the Terrazes family, was killed in Victoria, and the Bernard Kingdom has an inescapable responsibility.
Moreover, Captain Bowen came up with enough evidence to prove that hundreds of elites of the Trazis family in the Bernard Kingdom were also killed at the same time.
In the Bernard Kingdom, this can definitely be achieved without the connivance and even support of the kingdom.
As for the Steinbol puppeteer, Captain Bowen insisted that it was just a smokescreen released by the Bernard Kingdom, and even if there was such a person, he was an ally of the Bernard Kingdom.
Faced with the advance of the Predator Knights and the Mondan Infantry Legion, the Bernard Kingdom did not even have the determination to resist. The only remaining elite legion, the Arus Guard, was cowered in the city of Arus, and they did not dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
All the nobles gathered in the palace hall again, but without the pressure of the last time, the atmosphere felt more panicked this time, and everyone's faces were desperate.
"We are a vassal state of the Raynal Empire, and they have blatantly launched a war of aggression against us regardless of their status as the suzerain, aren't they afraid that other vassal countries will be cold?"
"Yes, maybe this is just the private action of the Trazes family, we should immediately appeal to His Majesty the Emperor of the Raynal Empire through our personnel in the city of Kaiseria, and ask him to administer justice for us!"
"Okay! If this is just the private behavior of the Trazers family, maybe our Bernard Kingdom can still be saved! Your Majesty, you must hurry up and make up your mind!"
This time, the important ministers were all united, and everyone understood that with the Bernard Kingdom, they were all nobles who had been inherited from generation to generation, and without the Bernard Kingdom, the so-called noble title would not be guaranteed.
What's more, the Predator Knights don't have a good reputation! About a hundred years ago, the Predator Knights were ordered to conquer a small principality that had gone against the will of the Raynal Empire. After the victory, in order to avoid future troubles, the Predator Knights actually took advantage of the chaotic city period they occupied, and slaughtered all the noble families of the principality.
With this precedent, who knows what terrible things will happen to the city of Aros once it is breached?
King Cyril was over sixty years old and still in good health. He is a magician himself, but he has the burly body of a warrior.
His Majesty Cyril has always been calm, and even when the nobles pressed him step by step a few days ago to send troops to destroy the puppeteer of Stebo, he did not show even a trace of impatience on his face.
But now, His Majesty Cyril walked up and down the main hall with a restless appearance. He also wanted to behave calmly in front of all his ministers, but the critical situation made him unable to calm down.
"Without the support of the Raynal Empire, the Trazes family would definitely not dare to openly use troops against us. Go and appeal to the emperor of the Raynal Empire, that is to deliver meat to the door. His Majesty Cyril frowned and said, "If our three elite legions are still there, we can rely on the city walls and the city-based defense system to resist for a while, and take the opportunity to ask for help from other vassals and major powers such as the Bright Empire, so that they can exert pressure, and maybe we can resolve the crisis." But now, even if other countries are willing to help us, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out until then. ”
His Majesty Cyril's words made the people in the hall fall silent. Is this how the kingdom of Bernard is going to end?
What's even more terrifying is that the object of the destruction of the Bernard Kingdom turned out to be the Predator Knights!
Thinking about what their family might have to do, these noble lords couldn't be more painful in their hearts.
At this moment, only a crisp voice sounded:
"Father, I have a way, maybe I can relieve the siege of the royal capital. ”
Changing out of the khaki magician's robe, the gorgeous palace dress can better set off her delicate figure, and Princess Angela walked in.
"What's Angela's idea?" asked King Cyril. Cyril was a little curious about his daughter's words.
"As you said, Father, as long as we can hold out for a while, the Raynal Empire may withdraw its troops under international pressure. Angela didn't have the confidence to defeat the Predator Knights, but if she was only resisting the attack for a while, Angela had an idea. ”
Angela said this, glanced at the nobles in the main hall, and then said slowly:
"Angela thinks we should work with the puppeteer Zhang Feng. ”
"What? Working with that executioner?"
"Is Her Highness the princess talking about the Stembo pariah?"
"How can this be? That untouchable is also our enemy!"
“......”
As expected, as soon as Angela's words came out, there was immediately a crusade.
"Why not? There are only eternal interests in this world, and there are no eternal enemies! Don't you even understand this truth?" Angela suddenly raised her voice, suppressing everyone's voice.
Everyone didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess, who usually looks gentle and obedient, to have such a sonorous and powerful side, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing that the desired effect was achieved, Angela continued:
"It is true that the puppeteer Zhang Feng is our enemy, but he killed Miguel Trazes, so he is the undying enemy of the Trazes family. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We have a basis for cooperation. And, if you don't, are you sure you'll survive the catastrophe in front of you, or would you rather have your own family that has been passed down for thousands of years to the ashes than cooperate with a powerful puppeteer?"
Angela questioned repeatedly, and everyone fell into deep thought. Compared to the Predator Knights, maybe that puppeteer would be better!
"But, Your Highness Princess, even if we are willing to cooperate, will the puppeteer agree?
"I think, it will!" Angela's voice was extremely sure, "The Trazes family dispatched the Iron Knights and the Mondan Infantry Legion this time, such a powerful force is simply not something we can deal with, nor is it something that the puppeteer Zhang Feng can deal with." What's more, there is an even more powerful Raynal empire behind the Trazers family...... As long as Zhang Feng has a little brain, he will understand the power and choose to cooperate with us. ”
Angela spoke eloquently, and everyone nodded their heads.
"Well, worthy of the king's daughter!
"The ministers think that what Her Royal Highness said is reasonable!" everyone agreed.
