Chapter 720: Surprise Attack on Kezan City (8000)
"If we can counter the influence of the rebellion, we can indeed make such a deal."
After discussion, everyone got a relatively consistent answer.
Within less than a month of fighting and development, the Gulf Territory's investment in the mechanical plane has reached a very astonishing level.
Although the harvest is also extremely rich, the positive cycle continues to bring more benefits and progress to the Gulf Territory.
However, everyone can clearly feel that in the face of the mobile city produced and controlled by the Sin Spark and the rebellious mechanical base.
Even the production capacity of the Gulf Territory has a lot of pressure in this regard.
Moreover, in the eyes of many commanders and managers, the control center's ability to play can at least be comparable to the Sin Spark.
In this case, if the problem of being controlled can be solved, the Gulf Territory's development in the mechanical plane will have a brighter future.
Meng Qingqing was very excited when she heard this, and made a promise without hesitation:
"No problem, we can act immediately."
After receiving the affirmative response from the Mo family, the commanders of the Gulf Territory had a routine discussion.
Soon, everyone started to act.
After experiencing the battle with the Sin Spark, everyone has a clearer understanding of the preciousness of time.
Development of the mechanical plane.
It is destined to be different from the slow Catachan demiplane, and it must take a faster, more accurate and more ruthless path.
Invisibly, everyone's efficiency has become higher.
Therefore, most of the spoils were immediately disassembled and studied quickly in the Gulf Territory's forward base.
Other spoils allocated to the goblins and Mohists were also directly allocated according to the Gulf Territory's contribution system and gold coins.
Both families are quite satisfied. The materials and merits given by the Gulf Territory are real, and they can always choose goods and equipment that satisfy them.
Throughout the entire Western Front battlefield, densely packed Gulf Territory soldiers and staff are taking action.
They have to clean up this battlefield as quickly as possible.
And they have to complete the disassembly, collection and classification of various materials.
More and more adventurers have been approved to enter the mechanical plane to participate in tasks and work.
Of course, except for some of the most outstanding adventurer teams.
Most adventurers cannot participate in combat missions for the time being.
The reason is simple. Fighting against rebellious machines and evil sparks is an extremely dangerous thing.
In the case of uncontrollable danger and casualty rate, the Gulf Territory will not let these adventurers participate in the battle too quickly.
Only the surviving adventurers can continuously create wealth and value for the Gulf Territory.
Matthew and Yaya took the initiative to leave the Gulf Territory forward base and followed the Mo family team to the mechanical city again.
Matthew soon discovered that the situation of the Mo family mechanical city was different from the first time he saw it.
The mechanical beasts all over the city wall disappeared, replaced by rows of dwarf artillery and magic artillery.
The Mo family disciples wearing heavy armor are conducting intense patrols.
On both sides of the canyon in the distance, there are still many engineering machinery working.
They are setting up various traps to deal with possible attacks from the rebellious mechanical army.
The big iron cone leading the way shook his head with great regret:
"It's a pity that the other three mobile cities have escaped, otherwise, we don't have to worry about being attacked."
Meng Qingqing glanced at him and said without thinking:
"How can such a good thing happen? Although the number of mobile cities is small, there are at least 20 in other territories."
"The rebellious mechanical army that has obtained some of our technology will become more powerful and terrifying in the future."
"On the contrary, these mobile cities are now aggregated together, consuming a lot of resources and energy, and the rebellious mechanical party needs to mobilize a lot of resources."
"In this case, we can seize the time to prepare for battle."
Matthew followed behind without saying anything, and naturally understood the intention of their words.
The Mo family understood the dangers of the mechanical plane, and also knew a lot of information and data about the rebellious machinery.
Even the reason why the Mo family has been investing for thousands of years and paying a huge price is to maintain the existence of the mechanical city.
It must have a deep relationship with the reason why the mechanical plane has become what it is now.
Matthew continued to look at the changed mechanical city, and watched the rumbling production factory with interest.
The production line of the Gulf Territory has been running rapidly in the mechanical city.
The disciples of the Mohist School are indeed technical talents, and they are very talented in learning mechanical knowledge and mastering the corresponding production capabilities.
Except for some problems that must be solved by magic, the Mohist School basically mastered the principles and production processes of the production line.
In the entire northern continent, only the Silver Leaf Family, Blood Moon City, and the Dwarf Kingdom, which have closer relations with the Gulf Territory, should have barely mastered these technologies with the help of the Gulf Territory staff.
With the continuous improvement of the production line technology of the Gulf Territory, the difficulty of operation will gradually decrease, the technical difficulty will continue to increase, and the difficulty of mastering and keeping up will continue to increase.
In the future, even if the Gulf Territory opens up some production technologies, most forces may not be able to learn and imitate them.
"Talent training, technological research and breakthroughs will become more important development factors in the future."
Matthew continued to think about the talent training system of the Gulf Territory, and felt that there was still room for improvement.
However, there is not much time left for the territory to slowly cultivate and develop.
The elemental tide has not yet begun, and all the monsters have already emerged.
There will be more and more dangers in the future.
Real natural disasters will gradually appear.
"So, other forces must also work hard!"
Matthew thought so in his heart, and Yaya naturally heard it.
She looked at the many children who came over curiously, looking at their big black eyes and the sky-high braids, and thought they were quite cute.
Master Ban came over with a group of mechanical masters, with a little excitement and expectation on his face.
After so many years, the mission of the mechanical city is about to be completed, which is inevitably a bit exciting.
Matthew greeted Master Ban, looked at the tiger mechanical beast that had changed greatly, and observed that many of its parts were replaced by metal parts, and secretly admired it in his heart.
"Sure enough, organizations and forces that have been passed down for thousands of years have their own unique features in the acceptance and development of technology."
Ya Ya's eyes lit up, and he happily jumped onto the head of the wolf-shaped mechanical beast with a full metal shell, and happily knocked its head under the gaze of countless eyes.
"This thing is really interesting, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. It can actually be driven by only one person."
"We still have a lot of personnel in our territory, and we can also learn from this transformation technology."
"Different body shapes and different opponents can use different combat vehicles."
"The saved mechanical division can operate more mechanical beasts."
"With the improved productivity, both the increase in the number of battles and the convenience of executing orders will be greatly improved."
"However, these things are still a bit too brittle, and more metal can be added appropriately."
"..."
The Mo family mechanical division did not make any moves, as if he was not the mechanical division elite who defeated more than 30 very good colleagues and successfully occupied the driving rights of the wolf-shaped mechanical beast.
He participated in half of the battle yesterday and happened to see Yaya showing off his power and destroying a large number of automatic defense facilities.
Such a powerful existence, even the three commanders must treat him with courtesy, let alone him.
After hearing Yaya's words, Meng Qingqing blinked in surprise.
She really didn't expect that Yaya's understanding of mechanical beasts was so profound and intuitive, and she understood it more thoroughly than most mechanical masters.
On the contrary, Master Ban was very happy and understood what kind of amazing talent Yaya had.
Master Ban was very happy and willing to promote Yaya's hobby of machinery and combat vehicles.
If he could establish a good relationship with Yaya, the cooperation between Mojia and the Gulf Territory would be as solid as a rock.
In this case, the Mojia's transactions and material acquisition would also become more stable.
Of course, the most important task at the moment is to provide the ancestor Mozi with a body that is strong enough and can help his situation.
Thinking back to the large amount of storage equipment provided by the Gulf Territory, Master Ban's heart was filled with heartfelt joy.
The harvest of these space equipment alone can reduce the loss of materials by more than 70% and increase the material exchange efficiency by 300% when the Mechanical City and the Mechanical Island communicate.
If the space rift is not unstable, the communication time cannot be sustained for a longer time.
It is estimated that the Mechanical City and the Mechanical Island can also have a stable connection like the forward base of the Gulf Territory and the material plane.
In this case, the Mechanical City does not need to be trembling with fear and can invite back the ancestor spirit-Mozi.
"Fortunately, everything is moving in a good direction."
Master Ban thought while leading Matthew and the team of the Gulf Territory.
Walking on the streets of the Mechanical City, Matthew saw many curious eyes and heard quite a lot of heated discussions.
"The three chiefs came together to greet them. Who are they?"
"Don't you know them? They are the real dragons of the Bay Territory - Yaya and Earl Matthew."
"Earl? That's an earl? Which kingdom's noble? Han? Chu? Or Qin?"
"None of them. Lord Matthew is from the legendary northern continent, but he has a connection with us Orientals."
"Real dragon? Is it equivalent to the Dragon King we know?"
"Almost. Although Lord Yaya looks small, her fighting power is very strong."
"Hehe, in the words of the Bay Territory, Lord Yaya's fighting power is at least 2000 More than!"
"2000? How high is that?"
"Well... let's put it this way, isn't the second brother of your aunt's third uncle's grandson's classmate a patrol guard reserve on the city wall?"
"Yes, that boy is only 16 years old, and he is very good at using a big sword."
"When he uses a big sword, his combat power is only 5 points..."
"5 points? So low? Is it true?"
"Tsk, 5 points is not low, the combat power of seven or eight of us combined is less than 5 points..."
"Uh..."
"..."
The interesting discussion made Matthew and Yaya feel quite interesting.
However, although the mental state of the people in the mechanical city is still relatively good, the information revealed in the words still made Matthew understand.
Even the Eastern Continent is no longer the hometown in his memory.
Matthew has also learned about the current situation there and learned a lot of things that made him sigh.
Thousands of years of inheritance have brought out many countries and histories in Matthew's memory.
The clear and special context gave Matthew a different feeling.
The previous history was mostly the same, except that the dynasties lasted longer, which was related to the emergence of extraordinary power.
Until more than 100 years ago.
The Zhou Dynasty, which had lasted for nearly 2,000 years, was destroyed.
The Qin State still swept the six countries and unified the four seas.
The powerful Qin State, as in Matthew's memory, continued to expand its territory and attack everywhere.
However, the targets of Qin's attacks have become the current barbarians, Baiyue monsters, Nanman mountain ghosts, and Dongying sea monsters.
What makes Matthew even more emotional is that it was also the fall of the First Emperor that caused the huge Qin Empire to fall apart.
In Matthew's memory, the Chu State and the Han State rose together and divided 2/3 of the territory of the Qin Empire, but did not destroy it.
This formed the three-kingdoms situation that Matthew was very curious about.
These things happened more than 20 years ago.
At present, the situation in the entire Eastern Continent is basically stable.
However, according to the intelligence and information collected by the Mohists, the three countries are preparing for war and are obviously ready to continue to complete the great cause of unification.
And even in this situation.
They are also actively exploring and developing.
While continuing to expand outward, they are constantly strengthening their armaments, improving their strength, and are always ready to destroy the other two kingdoms.
The most obvious feature is that the remnants of the Qin State suppress and expel the remaining forces of the barbarians.
The westward migration of the barbarians is closely related to the situation in the Bay Territory.
Matthew also got feedback from it, and completed a relatively complete match with the disaster "plot" of the large-scale invasion of the barbarians in his memory.
"It will be about the next two years. It seems that the territory should be prepared early..."
While thinking about this, Matthew followed Master Ban to the core area of the machinery city-the ancestral hall!
The main body of the ancestral hall is a hollowed-out boulder.
From a distance, the Mohist mechanical masters maximized its use and turned it into a very special building.
Even if they just watched from a distance, a special sense of pressure became stronger.
Matthew and Yaya didn't care about it, they were very familiar with this feeling.
An existence similar to the dragon's might is a special ability of some powerful creatures.
The interior of the huge ancestral hall was not as magnificent as Matthew had imagined.
There were plain stone walls everywhere, with simple strokes on them, outlining various patterns.
Matthew took a simple look and saw the construction process of the mechanical city and the various encounters of the Mo family in the mechanical plane.
Among them, what impressed Matthew the most was a huge and lifelike giant goblin city.
The goblin buildings gathered together were very similar to a goblin city recorded in many murals in the goblin ruins of the Death Desert - the Giant City of Kezan!
This city is one of the birthplaces of the Goblin Empire.
It is also one of the holy places of the Goblin Empire.
According to legend, the Goblin Empire obtained many powerful production technologies in the Giant City of Kezan.
Especially its super combat puppet production technology, which makes most forces in the entire northern continent unable to match it.
The former Goblin Empire was much stronger than the current Netheril Empire. It once occupied more than 1/2 of the continent and controlled many demiplanes and many resources.
If it was in the past, Matthew naturally did not believe that the Goblin Empire once had such strong strength.
However, with the emergence of many relics and the records and excavations of many players in Matthew's memory.
A shocking secret hidden in the dust of history gradually appeared in front of Matthew.
The Goblin Empire was destroyed by the conquest of the gods, destroyed by the tacit siege of many forces, and disappeared by the tacit elimination and cover-up of many gods' churches.
It is estimated that even the major churches do not know that the inheritance of the Goblin Empire exists in the dangerous and terrible mechanical plane.
Otherwise, they would have launched a large-scale attack long ago, not only to gain control of the demiplane, but also to win the favor of the gods.
Various information flashed through Matthew's mind one after another.
He carefully looked at the mural, looking at the huge figure standing in the middle of the giant city of Kezan.
Hundred meters high, carrying thunder, holding a huge sword, breaking the sky!
The strongest fighting force of the Goblin Empire - the Emperor Titan!
The smaller mechanical Titans also have many figures that Matthew is very familiar with.
Warmaster Titan, War General Titan, Warrior Titan, War Dog Titan, and some small Knight Titans.
These behemoths that are more than ten meters to dozens of meters high are still just some large-scale deployed war machines in the huge and majestic giant city of Kezan.
If the records on the Mo family murals are correct, the strength of the giant city of Kezan is definitely very strong.
But even so, it still disappeared in the long river of history.
Even if the Gulf Territory dug up half of the Death Desert, it only found a few words about the giant city of Kezan in some hidden and deep ruins.
"How were they destroyed?"
"Were they destroyed by the gods themselves?"
"What kind of performance would the gods have if they did it themselves?"
"..."
Ya Ya asked curiously. She had only come into contact with the Goddess of Magic and the Mother of the Earth.
These two powerful gods were omnipotent.
Matthew shook his head and did not elaborate with Ya Ya.
Now is not the time. Talking too much may put a considerable burden on Tooth.
Master Ben, who was leading the way, gradually slowed down his pace, his expression became serious, and he made a retreat gesture to the followers around him.
Even if they were unwilling to do so, they could only stand still and focus on Matthew and Yaya who were looking as if nothing had happened.
Meng Qingqing, who followed closely in the footsteps of Master Ban, felt the pressure on her body getting bigger and bigger, and every step she took consumed a lot of energy.
Huge pressure came from the wooden stone statue in front.
Meng Qingqing gritted her teeth and continued to move forward, wanting to see her progress during this period.
The big iron cone next to him was also sweating profusely.
A strong body does not seem to make it easier for him to resist pressure.
His steps were slower than Meng Qingqing's, and he stopped completely when he was 30 meters away from the wooden statue.
There is no way forward!
Meng Qingqing was slightly better than him, stopping at 25 meters.
Master Ben stood 20 meters away, breathing heavily. He turned to look at the unstressed Yaya and Matthew who was looking at the wooden statue. He suppressed the shock in his heart and said in a very respectful tone:
"This is the ancestral spirit of the Mohist family - Mozi, which we discovered, and it is also the reason why our government city was established."
"About 1,800 years ago, our Mohist expedition passed through a dangerous space rift and accidentally found the mechanical plane."
"Here we discovered the remaining inheritance of the Goblin Empire, and also discovered the long-lost ancestor spirit - Mozi!"
"This clone statue of Mozi can test and enlighten Mohist disciples from time to time."
"Any Mohist disciple who can advance further through testing and enlightenment can obtain the corresponding knowledge inheritance."
"Many of the knowledge and technologies are long-lost skills of the Mohists, or are guidance on how to innovate existing technologies..."
"Under this situation, our Mohist family concentrated a large amount of resources and manpower, and amid the doubts of other organizations and forces, we left the Eastern Continent and came to the Southern Islands."
"We occupied a large island and transformed it into a place of Mohist heritage."
"During that period, the Mo family's strength and technology have grown to a considerable extent."
"Even in the dangerous mechanical plane, four machine cities were built."
"It's just to find the location of his true body by cooperating with the clone of the ancestral spirit Mozi."
"After spending nearly a thousand years and investing countless resources and manpower, we finally found the location of the true form of the ancestor Mozi - the ruins of the destroyed holy city of the Goblin Empire, the giant city of Kezan!"
"At that time, everyone in the Mo family was very excited. Thousands of years of hard work and investment were about to be rewarded."
"We gathered our strength and sent in a large number of manpower and elites, ready to explore the giant city of Kezan."
"It's a pity that everything our Mo family has done has fallen into the control of the enemy."
"A large number of rebel machines came and besieged more than a dozen mobile cities. The Mohist elite team suffered heavy losses. After obtaining some key information, they were forced to evacuate the giant city of Kezan."
"During that time, we were besieged and hunted by renegade machines. Many machine cities were destroyed, and many elite forces were sacrificed."
"However, our efforts have finally paid off, and Mozi, the ancestor of the Mohist family, has been further awakened."
"He can provide sober shelter, and the scope of the shelter is exactly the territory occupied by the current agency city."
"Under His protection, even the enemy's renegade machinery will escape its control and gradually regain its independent thinking."
"It is precisely for this reason that the government city can survive."
Having said this, Master Ben couldn't help but raise his head and stared at the shining wooden statue.
He looked at the blurry figure and said very excitedly:
"Now that we have been given instructions, the evil enemy is about to be freed from its shackles once and for all."
"At that time, even the ancestral spirit Mozi will lose the power to restrain the other party, and will no longer be able to resist its influence, but will be controlled by it!"
"So, we don't have much time left."
"The ancestral spirit Mozi has decided to give it a try, transfer his mind and will from his original body, and join the Knight Titan to tell us how to completely defeat the opponent."
Listening to Master Ben's words, the smile on Matthew's face remained gentle and calm.
He silently stared at the shadow in front of him, motionless and saying nothing.
As if aware of Matthew's attitude, the ancestral spirit Mozi, who was constantly exuding terrible pressure, withdrew his momentum when Da Tiezui and Meng Qingqing could no longer support it.
His figure gradually became clearer, and under the excited gaze of all the Mohist disciples, his detailed features and face were revealed.
The face of a rather handsome middle-aged uncle.
His eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life, and it took him a while to regain his intelligence. He looked into Shang Yaya's curious eyes, revealing a little bit of surprise and surprise.
He was just about to say something, but then he quickly reflected, turned to look at the calm Matthew, and said softly with emotion:
"There are talented people from generation to generation, and each of them leads the way for hundreds of years."
"It's another elemental tide. I really didn't expect that I slept for so long."
"Young arcanist, your path is truly unique!"
Matthew did not speak, not even a hint of surprise, until the real information appeared above his head.
Mozi: Ancestral Spirit (Doppelganger)
Challenge Level: 25+ (Leader)
Challenge Suggestion: Escape!
Basic Attributes: ? ? ?
Combat Power Rating: 2500!
Even though Matthew had expected it, he was still inexplicably amazed when he saw Mozi's avatar.
The challenge level of a avatar is as high as 25+Leader.
This means that Mozi's original body has at least 27+Leader strength.
In other words, Mozi is definitely a demigod, not an ordinary high-level legend!
This is a real boss!
Presumably, in his heyday, he was most likely one of the strongest few under the gods.
When the gods cannot descend in person and cannot exert their full strength.
Mozi can be said to be one of the strongest combat units in the material plane.
Big Thigh!
This Mozi may not be the "Mozi" of that time, but even so.
He is definitely a super tough guy!
Just like the one in Matthew's impression!
No wonder the influence of the Sin Spark cannot work on the Mechanical City.
It's not that the rebellious machines can't use other methods to destroy the Mechanical City.
It's because the Mechanical City has Mozi as its backer, so it can naturally continue tenaciously.
Matthew's face gradually showed a smile, and he said very gently:
"I'm just repeating what others have said. The predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade."
For Matthew's modesty, Mozi narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head in admiration, and said with emotion:
"We don't have much time, release the Knight Titan's body in your storage space."
"Magic is sometimes really convenient, but unfortunately it is controlled by others in most cases."
"The path of the Arcanist does have great potential, you can continue to dig deeper and explore it well."
"I shouldn't have been so stubborn to the disciples of the Mo family back then, why did I make a fool of myself?"
Hearing Mozi's words, Matthew immediately released the Knight Titan.
Some words are just for listening, don't just interrupt casually.
This Knight Titan is larger than the other Knight Titans.
It is 13 meters tall. When it appeared in the Patriarch Hall, it filled up a large area of the huge space.
Mozi's eyes seemed to have a special penetrating power. He could see the internal structure and situation of the Knight Titan clearly. After a simple glance, he nodded with satisfaction.
He exuded a green light and slowly fell on the Knight Titan. At the same time, he continued to say to Matthew:
"What really determines the level of strength is the extreme heightening and improvement."
"Break through one point, and the rest will come naturally."
After saying this, without waiting for Matthew to react, Mozi's phantom slowly disappeared.
On the contrary, the Knight Titan, which was basically well preserved, began to make subtle sounds and changes in its body.
Da! Da! Da!
Ka! Ka! Ka!
Matthew listened to various sounds, felt the subtle collision of power, and the spreading waves.
Noticing the Knight Titan's slow movements, Matthew carefully observed the true situation of the Knight Titan's changes.
A special force spread from the Knight Titan's body. Matthew saw this subtle change and quickly found out the attribute:
"Legendary-Unfate Aura LV3, let all units within the aura's influence range resist 70% of the effects of blind obedience, bewitching, enchanting, and controlling, and the will judgment is +6."
An extremely special and powerful legendary aura!
"Unfate? Interesting!"
Matthew naturally understood what Unfate represented.
This is one of the core ideas of Mohism.
It emphasizes that people should have independent thinking ability, oppose blind obedience, dare to fight against fate, and emphasize subjective initiative.
What Matthew didn't expect was that these propositions and ideas, under the influence and guidance of extraordinary power, actually became real abilities.
"Perhaps, this is also a kind of knowledge, a kind of cognitive progress knowledge."
"Knowledge is power, and it has a clearer interpretation in the material plane."
"So, there is a means to fight against rebellion, deception, and bewitching!"
Matthew felt the fluctuations of the little bit of the undead aura and the slow influence, and immediately realized that this was the work of Mozi.
Mozi had been emphasizing the arcanist just now, and had already made his attitude clear to Matthew.
What is the most outstanding ability of the arcanist?
Possessing his own magic power!
Possessing the ability to express, release, and display other extraordinary powers with spells!
The arcanist is the strongest application unit of the human body!
The undead aura displayed by Mozi is to fight against the "rebellious" power of the Sin Spark.
Matthew silently absorbed the knowledge and information, carefully recalled Mozi's attitude and information, and immediately got an answer that he was looking forward to:
The Sin Spark is about to escape!
Mozi has the ability to deal with Him!
Matthew withdrew his eyes from the slowly changing Knight Titan, and walked quickly towards the outside of the Patriarch's Hall under the stunned gaze of the Mo family disciples.
At the same time, Matthew quickly sent a message.
"There's nothing more to say, pack up immediately and prepare to attack Guilty Spark!"
"This is a good prey, don't let it go!"
