Under Duanmu Huai's inquiry, he finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

To put it simply, Ann wanted to build one of his own mecha on the red Minerva, but it was obvious that Duanmu Huai seemed to look down on these mechas, so Ann decided to get it himself. She found Lumiel and asked her to hack into the database of those mechs to get the data, and then after obtaining the data, Ann combined her own ideas to create a blueprint for the mech, and then she sent the blueprint to Maria, who was far away in the flagship, hoping that she could help her create it.

To put it simply, it's like using the resources of the Inquisition to do his own personal work......... Well, that's nothing.

But.........

"I really didn't expect you to actually make it for her?"

Duanmu Huai looked at Maria in surprise, and the latter nodded.

"I'm intrigued by Miss Ann's idea, and ........."

"And?"

"I think this mech can be a superior replacement for some Titans."

"Uh..............."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly had nothing to say.

Don't look at Duanmu Huai, he doesn't look down on mechas, in fact, strictly speaking, the Inquisition Court is also mecha.

That's the Titan series.

Of course, this doesn't refer to the Emperor-level Titan that Duanmu Locust used in Herman, which is basically the mainstay of the Steel Fortress level.

In addition to the Emperor-class Titans, Imperial Tech also has two branches, the Reconnaissance Titan and the Battle Titan, which are basically the same size as mechs such as Gundam, and have a similar shape, with two legs and a steel body. It's just that the head and arms are not quite the same——— the head of the Imperial Titan is not on top like the mecha, but in front of the chest. This allowed them to put another weapon where the head should have been installed.

Well, more is beautiful, bigger is better, and the more weapons the better.

At the same time, the arms of these Titans are not human arms, but have been transformed into large weapons such as battering rams or Vulcan cannons.

The Titans are also positioned differently from the Mechs, these Titans are mainly responsible for ground warfare, they have the ability to move fortresses, personnel carriers and fire suppression, and they are also able to rely on their legs to overcome some obstacles that tanks can't cross. Of course, while the Imperial Titans can't compete with mechs in terms of agility and speed, they far surpass those mechs that can only fly around in terms of defense.

It's just that there is one thing that the mecha is indeed stronger than the Titan, that is, the Titan does not have the ability to fight in the air and space, and it is a pure ground unit.........

Not to mention the Marauder-level, Warlord-level and Heavenly Punishment-level Titans used for the main combat on the ground, if it is a war dog class and a jackal class used for reconnaissance, it can indeed be replaced with a mecha. After all, if you want to scout, being able to fly is indeed an advantage.

At present, the ground forces of the Inquisition under Duanmu Huai, in terms of size, are basically arranged as a Space Marines formation dominated by night guards, and then there are dreadnought mechas——— of course, in the imperial period, it is very difficult to create dreadnoughts, a dreadnought mecha is powerful, but the sacrifice is not small. Only those warriors who have been mortally wounded in the battle for the Emperor and can no longer return to the battlefield on their own will be buried inside the dreadnought, connected to them, and fight to the death for the Empire with the rest of their lives.

Because of this, most dreadnought mechs are considered a very important core of a warband, after all......... Consumables are hard to find.

But the night guards under Duanmu Huai naturally don't have to worry about this problem, they don't need to put their bodies into the dreadnought mecha to connect with it like in the Age of Empires, but directly attach their souls to the mecha.

Well, the Soul of the Machine is a great joy!

By the way, even soul possession has a limit, and the dreadnought mecha is the limit of soul possession, otherwise Duanmu Huai will let them all possess the Titan.

When the time comes, the whole thing will be full of Titan's scarlet letters......... No, curse binding......... It's not, the night guards the Titan army, who is not afraid to see it?

Because of this, the current main formation under Duanmu Huai is the Space Marines and the Dreadnought Mecha, and the Titan class has not been created except for the previous Emperor class, the reason is very simple, the Titan class is much larger than the Dreadnought Mecha, and it has exceeded the limit of soul possession, and can only rely on people to manipulate it.

But it's impossible for Duanmu Huai to let his night guards do this, isn't it a waste? It's not like a PLANT or something.,Just find a few teenage boys and girls and open it.。

The Inquisition is not so talkative.

So Duanmu Huai has basically given up on the Titan series all along, but I didn't expect Maria to think of ——— Indeed, if you think about it, some mecha can indeed be used as a high-level substitute for the Detection Titan.

Merely......... The style of painting is a bit of a mismatch.

"Forget it, let's go check it out first."

Duanmu Huai sighed and decided to go and see it first.

But then again, Ann can actually design mechas? Although I have known that she is a genius for a long time, she is too naïve on weekdays......... So much so that Duanmu Huai forgot that this person was a god.

Soon, under the leadership of Maria, the group came to the hangar, and then Duanmu Huai saw the mecha designed by An.

At first glance, how do you say it......... Pretty is really beautiful.

The entire body is pure white, with a pair of steel wings behind it, and the head is somewhat similar to that of the Gundam, and the hands and feet look more like decorations with openwork patterns. In a word, it feels like a work of art designed to support the scene, rather than a cold steel machine. It lacks that heavy mechanical aesthetic and feels like a craft.

"Will this thing work?"

Duanmu Huai looked the mecha up and down suspiciously, with a question mark on his face. After all, the charm of mecha lies in the thick and cold artefact beauty of steel machinery. It's like the silly shock of a steam-jetting locomotive or a roaring steel tank.

However, this one in front of me is too delicate, and it feels like an ice sculpture that will shatter at the touch of a button.

Pretty is really beautiful, but other than that, Duanmu Huai has to put a question mark.

"Hmph, you don't understand that, Mr. Knight."

As a result, to Duanmuhuai's surprise, instead of being happy, An raised his head very proudly.

"These aren't ordinary patterns, they're magic arrays! It took me a long time to integrate the amplification magic with the defensive magic array, and I was able to make sure they didn't clash with each other! Awesome! ”

After listening to An Yangyang's proud introduction, Duanmu Huai understood what kind of design idea her mecha was——— although An did not know much about the science of mechas, there were similar metal golems in Manalia, so she simply designed in this direction, and the whole process was completely replaced by magic. And what Duanmu Huai saw, the hollow patterns on the outside of the body, were actually magic arrays.

Of course, in general, it's almost impossible to fuse so many magic circles together without clashing, but ......... After all, he was Manalia's number one magic genius, and Ann still managed it hard.

But.........

"You said that this is all engraved on the magic array, so if someone else cripples your body, won't this magic array be finished?"

"Of course it's not that simple, I'm using a character mode, even if the opponent breaks the body, it will only affect the effect of some magic arrays, and other magic arrays can still be recombined through magic characters!"

"Well, it seems that you are very thoughtful, but............... Do you have a cockpit or a double? ”

Duanmu Huai silently looked at the cockpit on the chest of the mecha, still up and down.

"Of course, I'm going to drive with Gourlea."

"Gruelia sit down and face it."

"Hey, hey, you've found out..............."

"You know what you want to do with your brain."

Ann has always had a soft spot for Greya's tail, Grea sits on it, she sits below, she can touch Grea's fat tail at any time, and with Grea's character, the thought of Ann sitting below can see the scenery under her skirt anytime and anywhere as soon as she looks up, it is estimated that it makes her restless.

Well, Duanmu Huai thinks that most of the reasons why Ann designed this kind of cockpit are on this.

"Forget it, we'll know when the time comes."

Of course, Ann's mecha can't be integrated into the Inquisition's system, but it doesn't matter, this is not a mass production machine after all, as for whether the plan to replace the Reconnaissance Titans in mass production will depend on the performance later.

"By the way, what's the name of this mecha?"

"Wow, I haven't figured it out yet........."

"Why don't I help you up?"

"I got my kindness, I'd better discuss it with Gu Leiya!"

The naming art of Duanmu Huai, even An is not sensitive.

"By the way, Mr. Knight, would you like to have one too?"

"Me............... I ..............."

Hearing Ann's inquiry, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, but at this moment, he felt his hand being pulled and lowered his head, only to see Ogis looking at him silently.

“…………… I'll forget it, after all, I already have my own puppet. ”

I don't think Ogis will be embarrassed by this, but ......... Duanmu Huai didn't bother to think too much about this, after all, he didn't have much interest in mechas.

After a short rest, Duanmu Huai approached Echo again and asked about the current situation, exactly......... It's about the battleship Exelion.

"So you mean that the other party has not fled back into the solar system, but has been operating in the periphery?"

"Yes."

Arcot nodded.

"This ship has been operating within the edge, so there are frequent encounters with cosmic monsters, and to be honest, I wonder why they don't go back........."

"I guess I don't want the cosmic monsters to follow them to Earth."

So far, only a very small number of fish have escaped the net in the solar system, and most of them have basically been killed as soon as they appear, and they have not become climatic. Because of this, the Earth in this galaxy is quite safe at the moment.

"Then again, it's a shame they can last so long."

"I think they're going to be pushing the limits too."

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

"Well, let's go talk to them."
