MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1109 - Chapter 1109 Chapter 1109 Target

Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Target Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Target Five thousand fighter jets had already formed a cluster, representing an extraordinary combat force. This was significantly stronger than the usual air force, possessing both high mobility and firepower, capable of unleashing formidable combat power against both air and ground targets.

If there was a single drawback, it was their cost: expensive to build and maintain, and losing just one was a heartache.

Despite the brief battle where several hundred fighter jets were destroyed by the Dragonhawk troops, it was not a fair comparison–the disparity was too great, with one side at five thousand and the other just a few hundred.

Moreover, the idiotic Lord had chosen a poor time for the air force to take off, allowing the fighter jets to be destroyed before they even ascended. Otherwise, they could have inflicted significant damage upon the Dragonhawks.

More importantly, these were low-level combat helicopters. One should know, to be equipped with fifth-tier weapons, the fighter jets had to be at least of epic quality, incomparable to those of a standard blue quality, whether in armor or performance, they were significantly better.

Li Yao had not expected to find such a bounty. He had secured enough resources to produce twenty to thirty thousand units for the Silver British Mechanical Corps or even over a hundred thousand units for an elite fifth-tier mechanical legion, along with hundreds of Gatling guns, a large mobile storage warehouse, and even a cluster of fighter jets.

Now, Li Yao’s worry was the lack of a production line. Without it, even with sufficient craftsmen, it would take a lot of time to manufacture the Mechanical Legion. Moreover, without anyone to operate the Gatling guns and combat helicopters, they were nothing but scrap metal.

As Li Yao watched his subordinates transport goods, he pondered his next steps. Having resources was one thing, but he needed to utilize them to transform potential into tangible power.

“I didn’t expect someone to get here first.”

While Li Yao was continuously planning his next move, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

Abruptly turning around, Li Yao saw a high elf General, accompanied by several Light Rangers descending the passage.

“Meeting the General,” Li Yao said with a smile, “I didn’t expect the General to find this place too. Unfortunately, this lord was foolish enough to leave nothing behind but some useless leftover materials. I know the rules, since the General is here, these belong to you.”

The elf General’s face darkened momentarily, but then he smiled, “Keep the scraps. I have no interest in these chunks of metal. Since we met, I want to ask if you would like to join our army. You hold a colonel’s rank. If you come to me, half of the five thousand Dragonhawk Knights will be yours to command. Military honors will easily be within reach.”

Li Yao was surprised, his mind quickly grasping the situation. The other party must have known about his identity; otherwise, a commanding NPC like this could have forcefully conscripted him, but instead, they were amiably discussing matters and hadn’t even mentioned surrendering the spoils. The only possibility was that they knew of his identity.

Although he wasn’t particularly important, his mentor was formidable. The Queen, once a member of the Silvermoon Council, was second only to the Sun King in military command, and the current elven Regent had once been the Queen’s deputy, even going personally to Undercity to secure his position as the Regent.

It wasn’t just about status but also the influence of the Queen. During the battle of Silvermoon City, though the main city fell, the Queen, as the supreme military commander, fought at the forefront and eventually perished under the Demon Artifact. Even now, as the Undead Queen, she still held unparalleled influence within the high elves, with countless new generations idolizing her.

Understanding the situation, Li Yao decided to be straightforward: “I would indeed like to serve, but I am here to complete a leadership test assigned by my mentor. If I fail, I might never gain the insights my mentor can teach, so I must apologize.”

The General, as a Ranger, hearing that Li Yao could receive such teachings, was immensely envious, “Brother, you are truly lucky to be noticed by a General, even receiving teachings. You might be the first outside the Windrunner Family to grasp the Windrunner’s legacy secrets. Since the General gave you this opportunity, it means you are truly capable. Do your best and don’t let the General down. Here’s my contact, remember to reach out if needed.”

Receiving the full legacy of the Dark Ranger had already surprised Li Yao, but the genuine legacy of the Queen, growing stronger with the first and second successors, and the unique teachings of the Windrunner Family, made it clear that even if the Queen had successors, Li Yao was the sole heir to her true legacy.

Perhaps even Li Yaos didn’t fully understand, but the General did–now that the Queen was an Undead and could bear no progeny, her true successor would be the next sovereign of the Undead Clan. Should anything happen to the Queen or if she ascended to divinity, those loyal to her would naturally transfer their allegiance to Li Yao. The Queen obviously didn’t want to reveal this, seemingly as a test, which he would not disclose either, but it was certainly wise to maintain a good relationship.

Having grasped these issues, the General was a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment after handing over his contact details and quickly left, leaving Li Yao still somewhat confused.

His mind was still on the recent acquisitions and strategies: “We should head back too, or it might raise suspicion.”

Li Yao collected them, immediately canceled his Soul Form, and instantly felt a wave of darkness as his soul flashed back into his body.

Leaping off the carriage, Li Yao summoned his mount and joined the troops.

“Brother, you sure slept a long time, it’s nearly night,” Wangyu teased.

Jasmine also joked, “Right? We couldn’t wake you even when we left the main group, we had to trade our military honors for that carriage.”

Only then did Li Yao notice his surroundings–all the troops around were from his unit, already separated from the main force.

“Let’s camp here tonight, it’s not wise to fight at night,” he suggested, then they set up camp.

By the campfire, Li Yao asked, “What exactly is your goal?”

“It’s our goal, actually. Hehe, not to hide it brother, our entire army was wiped out last time because of this place. We discovered a secret Vampire lair here. This lair has been unexpectedly attacking many occupied castles. Haven’t you seen the bounty board? The honor reward for that Vampire Baron has skyrocketed. If we pull this off, our military strength could double at least. And if we take down the lair alone, we might even get the blueprints for military buildings. It’s a no-brainer.”
