MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1145 - Chapter 1145 Chapter 1145 Dead End

Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Dead End Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: Dead End Apart from the Mechanical Puppet Legion’s continued frenzied battle that lasted until nearly dawn, in fact, the other legions had basically collapsed.

It wasn’t that their strength was inferior to Li Yao’s legion; in reality, if there was a genuine comparison of strength, Li Yao’s legion was still far behind them. It was just that they had been outmaneuvered by Li Yao from the very beginning.

The Worm Tribe was just too bizarre, with the battle situation turning very unfavorable as soon as it began. Moreover, as the war raged on, all the scouts sent for mutual communication were being hunted and killed. Occasionally, a scout would reach another battlefield, but the news they brought back was infinitely despairing.

Thus, from the start until now, they had been fighting isolated battles, despite their leaders claiming that reinforcements would arrive soon. But since the beginning of the fight, not a single reinforcement had been seen.

And those Worm Tribe creatures were too cunning, with Breakers that could suppress spells, invisible assassins, lethally poisonous Horse Wasps capable of suicide bombings, and Corrosive Worms that could corrode armor and machinery and that seemed impossible to kill.

There were more, an unceasing stream of Fire Poison Cockroaches-kill a batch and another would appear. They didn’t know how many cockroaches there were. In reality, Li Yao was also fighting desperately. His Fire Poison Cockroaches were not endless, but he had ordered not to reveal all his forces at once but to deploy them step by step, maintaining a certain number.

This created the illusion that they could not be completely eradicated, which was quite natural, just like being unable to see your hands in pitch darkness. Maybe a few meters ahead was the path to escape, but it was indiscernible, leading one to turn back. It was like traveling through continuous mountains; perhaps after the hill in sight, one might see a village, yet the traveler did not know and, losing hope, might choose another path.

And surrender was another path. The continuous display of parasitism by the Parasites naturally led many to follow suit. For them at the bottom of society, surviving was the most important thing.

When the number of people surrendering reached a certain level, it caused a cascading effect, even those who were unwilling to join Li Yao’s troops lost the will to fight.

When a streak of dawn appeared in the sky, the Mechanical Beast troops were completely under control, thanks in part to their smaller numbers, the abundance of Mechanical Beasts, and their ease of control.

Next was the Magic Legion, who despite their powerful magic, were rigidly controlled by magic that devoured their spells. Their cast spells would be interrupted or countered during the incantation process, and with the additional threat of other Worm Tribe creatures and being completely isolated, they totally collapsed psychologically.

Then there was the Mechanical Integrated Legion, most of whom also surrendered. Those who resisted were either bound by their companions or hunted down and killed.

At this moment, Li Yao was watching the distant battlefield with a headache, below him were the officers of the several legions that had surrendered.

“My lord, there are still many who resist in the city, and some do not wish to fight for you. They have now been confined,” Nicholas said.

Collet also said, “We’re in a similar situation.”

Li Yao turned his head and said, “The disaster of this city should be over now. Those thugs still disrupting the order of this city, gather your hunters and hunt them all down. As for those who do not wish to continue fighting for me, that’s alright too. What I want is to take root here. If they don’t want to fight, they can still be useful in other ways, can’t they? First, confine them in the Lord’s garrison, and we will decide what to do with them later.”

“Thank you for your mercy, my lord,” Collet immediately knelt on one knee.

The surrendering officers also immediately knelt down, breathing a sigh of relief in their hearts. It seemed their new lord was not the extremely cruel sort.

“Mage Corps, you’re the deputy commander, aren’t you? Where’s your commander?” Li Yao looked down at the submitting officers, focusing on a dwarf with a special arcane insignia.

“Our commander sacrificed himself in battle during a duel with the lady giant dragon commander of the legion,” the dwarf said, a flicker of sadness in his eyes but masked with more pride. To have battled a giant dragon for so long was already a source of pride.

“Alright, from now on, you are the new commander of the Mage Corps.” Li Yao then turned to another deputy commander wearing a medal with a cannon engraved on it and asked, “And where is your commander?”

This was a grey-bearded dwarf who hurriedly replied, “My lord, he does not wish to remain in the legion, so he is in the Prisoner of War Camp.”

Li Yao sensed for a moment and immediately knew that this was someone who had been parasitized. Although he was somewhat disappointed, he still said, “Then you lead the Mechanical Integrated Legion. We are likely facing a great battle, and it might be against your former lord. I hope you won’t let me down.”

“Rest assured, my lord, there will not be a single soldier in my legion who is disloyal to you,” the commander of the Mechanical Integrated Legion replied, a glint of red flashing in his eyes.

Li Yao nodded, “Other ranks will remain as before. If a commander has fallen, promote the next in line. By following me, you will witness the beautiful landscapes of the prime material plane, not just confined to this small Dead Light Area. Your mechanisms, your talents, they can only be fully displayed on such a grand stage and will only then be known by more people. I truly wish for you all to work for me. I do not demand your immediate oath of loyalty. I am giving you time to consider. If you find yourselves unsatisfied with following me in the future, I can let you leave at any time. But if I find out that you’re playing both sides while working for me, I won’t show mercy.”

Li Yao didn’t wait for their response and walked directly onto the balcony, looking out at the distant battlefield. “Commander of the Mechanical Puppet Legion, are you still unwilling to show yourself? You’re at the end of your rope. The city has completely fallen into my hands, and there are only a few hundred of your mechanical puppets left. Do you still want to resist?”

Boom…

A Mechanical Puppet, pockmarked with the corrosive venom and blood of the Fire Poison Cockroach, suddenly burst into a blaze of golden light. In a dazzling flash, a Golden Greatsword sliced through the surrounding Fire Poison Cockroaches, and afterward, the Puppet soared into the sky.

“Kurut, Eiffel, you traitors.” As he spoke, he also looked towards Li Yao: “It’s impossible for me to surrender. My soldiers and I are the Lord’s most loyal followers. We only have death in battle, not surrender.”

“That’s truly a pity. You have the heart and spirit of a noble hero. I admire you, but it’s a shame you refuse to serve me.” Li Yao then turned to the surrendered officers and said, “You’ve heard him. Now take your elite troops and wipe out the remaining Mechanical Puppet Legion. Consider this as your initiation into my service.”

A few officers’ expressions changed, but only the commander of the Mechanical Integrated Legion immediately accepted the order. Casting a quick glance at the others, he quickly left. The rest of the officers also came to their senses and jointly accepted the command.

“Blade Queen, come back. Your mission is complete.”

With Li Yao’s words, the Bug Race Troops retreated without hesitation, and the Blade Queen teleported beside Li Yao in a flash. Her body was riddled with gun ports, and Li Yao asked her to return to the Heroes Hall in the Frame Space to recuperate. Then he looked down below…
