Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151 Chapter 1151 Going All In

Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Going All In Chapter 1151: Chapter 1151: Going All In The Blade Queen originally had no clothes on her body, but rather a chitinous layer similar to the armor of the Worm Tribe. Although it didn’t look ferocious or out of place on her, it had an aura of wicked charm.

But now, the chitinous layer had transformed into metal, as if she had donned a skin-tight leather suit, only it was bronze in color, and she wore a semi-transparent mask on her face. Her athletic figure was even more provocative. In short, it left Li Yao with a sense of astonishment.

The rather unsightly spider-leg like wings she had before now also seemed to have turned into something made of metal, with a real sense of quality to them, and they looked exceedingly sharp.

“How do you feel?” Li Yao asked. In fact, he had already known about her enhancement from her attributes, but he wanted to hear it from her as well.

“No wonder my master enhanced my strength and stamina. I didn’t understand before, but now I do,” the Blade Queen was clearly very satisfied with her current state: “My defense has increased by more than thirty percent compared to before. As for the attack, it’s not clear yet, but at least it has improved by thirty percent, and it’s sharper. My overall combat ability feels like it has increased by more than half, and I’ve gained an aura skill that can give my Legion a metal Shield for a short time, as well as some Armor Breaker effect.”

“That’s good. The battle is about to start. You should reacquaint yourself with your swarm,” Li Yao said before leaving the Frame Space.

At this moment, the Frame Space was already filled with densely packed Fire Poison Cockroaches covered in Metal Armor, like a steel-clad torrent.

In just a few hours of time, not only the Heart of Machinery’s armory was in operation, but the queen insect was also busy at work.

Now, under Li Yao’s command, the number of Steel Fire Poison Cockroaches had finally broken through one hundred thousand. This was due to Li Yao’s enhanced production capabilities. Opting for a mass-recruitment strategy was necessary.

Those who died in the upcoming great battle, along with the shattered machinery, were mostly thrown into the conversion pool.

Now that the enemy had set out, Li Yao estimated that by the time they arrived, much of his Steel Insect Tribe would have been replenished.

Li Yao made another round of inspections on the city defenses. By now, the number of surrendered troops under his command had also been counted.

A total of sixty thousand in the combined Legions, thirty thousand in the spellcasting troops, up to nearly one hundred thousand Puppets, five thousand helicopters, and ten thousand tanks.

These numbers resulted from the elimination of those who did not wish to continue being soldiers, plus the soldiers newly recruited in the city–the remnant of the original forces was not included.

Although the numbers seemed large, due to the loss of many elite soldiers and the inclusion of new recruits, their actual combat effectiveness was much lower than before.

However, this was inevitable. With the battle underway, Li Yao didn’t want to keep soldiers who were unwilling to fight for him. Negatively engaged soldiers were often more prone to cause the collapse of an army than new recruits, and he didn’t want to see any instances of betrayal during the fight against the Gryphon Lord.

But without them, the numbers of the army were significantly reduced. That’s why Li Yao issued a mass recruitment order. This was his domain, and as the Lord, he naturally had the right to recruit residents to join the Legion. This was also why he chose to join the Legion.

Population meant a source of troops. Later on, he would open the city to the entire guild and allow members to recruit soldiers from here based on their military achievements, as a kind of guild benefit.

The city was too large, and its geographical location was very important for the Dead Light Area, so Li Yao was not worried that it would fall into decline. Moreover, Li Yao did not plan to turn it into a fortified ghost city but rather to make it an open city.

As a transfer station and base for players, Li Yao had big plans. He intended to take over Heart City as well and unify the plain surrounded by mountains.

The land here is fertile, and along with a large river and its branching network of tributaries, it’s simply the best spot for planting and estates–it’s like a paradise on earth.

Although Starfire was remotely controlling two maps, one sandbar was too complex and the other was too barren.

Li Yao’s blueprint was that after unifying the plains, he would establish a defensive fortress on the mountains, completely sealing off this pass. Of course, it wasn’t to prevent others from entering, but to turn this place into a truly fertile paradise on earth.

He was even ready to launch the construction plan for estates and villas on the war map, which would be met with fiery enthusiasm when it came time to reward the guild members.

What stirred Li Yao’s heart even more was that this place was the entrance to the underworld, whether it be extremely rare resources from the surface world or all kinds of exotic troops and beasts, or the fallen elves which have a great affinity to darkness, all of them possessed tremendous potential for development. Naturally, Li Yao would not let such opportunities slip by.

Moreover, behind Griffin City lies a continuous chain of mountains. Not to mention that the Queen desires a hidden base, even if the Queen wanted to build an underground city, Li Yao could achieve it with Tunneling Bugs at his disposal–an ideal fit for the Queen’s requirements.

However, if one truly wants to become the Lord of this place, the best approach now is to recruit new soldiers.

No matter how wise a Lord is, there will always be classes within his domain, and with classes come those who are dissatisfied with the Lord.

Li Yao, as the new Lord, naturally wanted these people. Once they joined the Legion, they would become new stakeholders, and for their own interests, they would not betray him, because Li Yao’s interests were now tied to theirs.

In addition, integrating them into the army would also serve to deter and supervise those soldiers who had surrendered. Thus, even if the fighting strength was temporarily weakened, Li Yao still made this decision.

Furthermore, Li Yao had used the military reserves of the Gryphon Lord to rearm some people, essentially bleeding the Gryphon Lord dry.

It was three o’clock in the afternoon in game time when the United Army arrived, a bit later than Li Yao had anticipated, nearly two hundred thousand troops from the two Lords combined. There were also a substantial number of players, at least thirty to forty thousand.

Although they had been through a night of battle, Li Yao knew that the number of player armies must not be small, at least over a million. If he could not break the enemy’s will, he would be mired in a tough fight.

Moreover, Li Yao was aware that, perhaps, the outcome of this battle would be decided by the air forces. That was truly the most perilous part.

However, after looking at the quantity of the Worm Tribe in the Frame Space, Li Yao felt slightly relieved; eight hours of frantic production and conversion.

The number of Steel Insect Tribe was not small either: 110,000 Steel Fire Poison Cockroaches, 50,000 Steel Mantises, 50,000 Breakers, 50,000 Steel Parasites, 30,000 Self Detonating Wasps, and 30,000 Corrosive Worms.

To amass this Steel Insect army, Li Yao paid a price; not only was the energy unit of the queen consumed, but also many other materials and items were converted in the transformation pool to scrounge up enough energy units.

As for smelting, to say nothing more, the Lord’s Manor warehouse and the territory’s warehouse’s copper ore was depleted, and more than half of the iron ore was consumed as well, along with all sorts of other materials. If converted into Gold Coins, Li Yao forced himself not to calculate to avoid begrudging the cost.

For this battle, Li Yao had used up more than half of what the Gryphon Lord had left behind. It was truly an all-in move…
