"I know you find what I'm saying hard to understand, and you can hardly imagine that the military region is now in the hands of such unreasonable people."
But believe me, reality is often more magical than dreams.
It is said that this term of the military region's top leadership is the most incompetent, unable to accomplish anything they want to do. In fact, this is all due to the previous term of the military region's top leadership.
Moreover, most people don't know that the reason for the demon invasion back then was partly due to the deliberate provocation by the high-ranking military officials of that era.
Looking back now, their choice seems like a crazy decision. As for the inside story, who cares?
Even such a past was buried by the military region. Gradually, patriotic propaganda spread everywhere. What was clearly a provocation against the demons that led to the demon invasion was later portrayed as a proactive invasion by the demons.
"Don't you think this kind of military region is ridiculous?"
Bu Xiaosai never expected that the story of the Northern Region being invaded by the Demon Clan would have such a connection.
If the military region heard Ren Tianchi's words, he would probably be labeled a traitor, because he was smearing the military region and speaking on behalf of the enemy, the demon race.
"As for the Mechanical Star... it was an extremely powerful war fortress, which housed the most powerful fire control Sky System in the entire Dragon Kingdom at the time, and its quality was comparable to that of the entire Aurora City. At that time, our Future Source only had one project underway, and that was to build the Mechanical Star!"
We hoped that the Mechanical Planet could grow to be comparable to the Blue Planet, so we continuously refined and updated it. In the end, we completed the first phase of our goal and successfully destroyed the entire anomaly in the SS-level anomaly, the River of Doomsday. However, as a result, the Mechanical Planet suffered heavy damage.
Therefore, Tie Tianlan did not take the Mechanical Star with him at the time, and in the days that followed, the military region continued to send people to acquire the Mechanical Star.
Ha, how utterly ridiculous! I think they're just plotting something, wanting to get our Mechanical Star, even if it's just the first stage of our technology. But without Tie Tianlan, we're powerless to continue our research. Even so, they can forget about getting the Mechanical Star.
Afterwards, the military region witnessed Tie Tianlan taking the Mechanical Star away, but they never expected that the real Mechanical Star was still here.
What was taken away was merely a mimicry-based repair model.
Then there's what you investigated.
"In that case, may I see Jiang Xie's condition?"
"Can."
With the misunderstanding cleared up, Ren Tianchi acknowledged their abilities. Since he couldn't hide it from them anymore, there was no need to conceal it any further. A small, three-dimensional mechanical factory appeared on the conference room table, while the miniature Jiang Xie was working with the technicians from the Source of the Future to examine a manuscript.
This original manuscript is Tie Tianlan's record of the operation and functions of the mechanical star.
But before that, the engine must be repaired.
Over the years, the Source of the Future has been repaired by batches of technicians, but only the outer weapons have been fixed. The interior requires the authority of a Star Forger!
According to the original manuscript, there are two ways to activate the mechanical star: one is to rely on the Star Forger's own SSS-level ability to activate it, and the other is to arrange for people to operate all the control nodes in the first stage.
The problem is that even just the control nodes in the first phase involve tens of thousands of people. Moreover, to control the battle on the mechanical star, tens of thousands of people must work together to unleash its full power.
Ultimately, this is more like an exclusive weapon for SSS-class Starforgers; the larger the mechanical star, the greater the amplification it provides.
As the main force resisting the demons on the eastern front, the Northern Alliance naturally understood how terrifying the demons' offensive was. Aurora City, as a major city under the control of the Future Source, required all members of the Northern Alliance gathered there to obey his command.
Moreover... the Mechanical Star cannot be transferred to other regions. Once this place falls, returning to Aurora City to activate the Mechanical Star would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. The restless state of the Demon Clan over the past month has forced them to take a risky approach and forcibly take Jiang Xie away.
However, their unusual actions also attracted the attention of the military region, forcing them to stay obediently in Aurora City. But as long as the plan goes smoothly and the mechanical star takes off, both the demon invasion and the military region's questioning can be easily resolved.
Now he needs time, a lot of time.
Chirp~ Chirp~ Chirp~
What was that sound?
Bu Xiaosai heard a strange sound and looked up at Ren Tianchi, who frowned and turned on his communication network.
"Director Ren, this is bad! The front line has fallen, and the Northern Alliance's troops are blocked north of Aurora City. They can only retreat eastward and cannot come south to our side. The City Lord's Mansion has declared a state of war and begun evacuating the people from Aurora City. We also need to make plans as soon as possible!"
What? How could this be so sudden!
Ren Tianchi glanced at Bu Xiaosai and replaced the picture of the mechanical factory on the conference table with a miniature picture of the front line.
What was once an impregnable defensive line has now been overrun by a large number of demon warriors.
"Did they bypass them? What are the frontline commanders doing?"
Ren Tianchi watched as the seemingly impenetrable defensive line was bypassed by the demons. They clearly knew the weak points of the line, yet failed to leave enough troops to defend it – treating the battlefield like a game! This kind of commander should be shot!
"Make sure our mech pilots are ready. Before the main force of the Northern Alliance returns to defend, we must hold Aurora City, even if it means total annihilation!"
"Open all unmanned access, activate all war factories, and prepare all the jamming towers and aurora cannon positions we previously built to cooperate with the city lord's mansion in establishing an outer defense line."
