Chapter 926: Chapter 919: Your Love, My Disaster

Baiyue didn’t speak, but looked up at Luo’er with moist eyes, as she lightly bit her lip, wanting to say something, but never daring to open her mouth.

"What’s wrong?" Noticing her gaze, Luo’er looked at her and asked.

"No, nothing, it’s nothing..." Baiyue shook her head and hid her small face in the blanket.

Luo’er stared at her pensively, as if he thought of something, then turned his head to take a glance. At that moment, Tangmo was still discussing the story of the General and the puppet with everyone, so he took a deep breath, reached into the blanket wrapped around Baiyue, and pinched her soft fingers.

Baiyue trembled, immediately let out a small yelp of surprise, and her face instantly turned bright red. She covered half of her face with the blanket, shyly looking at Luo’er.

"Don’t worry, we’re not the General and the puppet, we’ll make it to the end," Luo’er said with a smile, softly comforting her.

"Then, what will you do?" Baiyue hesitantly asked.

"Then..." Luo’er said, instinctively twisting his head to glance at Tangmo again, then closed his mouth; although he did not speak outright, the meaning was already quite clear.

"Right, you’ll still have Sister Moumou with you," Baiyue said, her eyes dimming.

"I..." Luo’er, seeing her expression, tried to explain.

"No need to explain, I understand," Baiyue said, lowering her eyelids, smiling, "That’s actually what I hoped to see, I’m more worried about you than about myself."

"I’m sorry..." Luo’er attempted to apologize again, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Baiyue’s direct gaze.

"Please, no more apologies, okay?" Baiyue said earnestly.

"Mm!" Luo’er silently nodded.

"In other words, that puppet attacked us at all costs, just to protect her lover..." Cheng Ziang pondered with furrowed brows.

"Honestly, I think that puppet has a high research value. If we could bring it back to Earth, it might be a breakthrough for magic technology," Tangmo said, stroking his chin.

"Even Feng couldn’t beat that puppet, how are we supposed to capture her? Besides, now that the Snow God is speaking for her, we’re going to face a new enemy if we want to cause trouble," Hu Daoke said, spreading his hands and shaking his head.

Upon hearing Hu Daoke’s words, Feng, who was kneeling on the ground and looking at them, lowered her head in shame. To her, the strength of an enemy was not the key; what mattered was her inability to defeat the opponent, which for her, was a great disgrace.

"Hey, I mean, I’m not denying your abilities, Little Fengye," Hu Daoke quickly scrambled to explain, seeing Feng fall into a state of shame.

"As of now, it seems that Kedal metal with Defense Runes engraved can indeed achieve an almost invincible level of defensive strength. However, it is clear that such technology might not yet be applicable to new defensive equipment. After all, the Kedal metal has destructive resistance. If used for armor, it’d be terrible if the armor backfired without stopping a bullet," Cheng Ziang analyzed calmly.

Since the Otherworld research center hasn’t been able to resolve the destructive resistant nature of Kedal metal, for now, they can only use it for offensive weapons development, such as Kedal core-piercing rounds, and so on.

Even saying that this metal, when made into swords, has certain flaws, Cheng Ziang’s sword is basically on the verge of being scrapped because of the Kedal metal’s backlash effect on the blade itself.

If Earthlings couldn’t figure out how the Elf Race managed to solve the issue of Kaidar metal’s fragmentation resistance, then their research into this metal was doomed never to achieve any significant breakthroughs.

To Earthlings, Kaidar metal was a double-edged sword – if used properly, it could be indestructible and overwhelmingly powerful, but if not handled with care, it could easily backfire.

It was precisely because of this that the research center had always been very cautious in the application of Kaidar metal.

Hu Daoke’s shooting test on the metal puppet showed that Kaidar metal could indeed effectively defend against direct bullet hits, but it couldn’t neutralize kinetic energy. After all, a puppet is just a puppet, so it might not be as sensitive to the kinetic impact of bullets, but if this metal were used on armor, the negative effects would be very obvious.

In the medieval period, European plate-armored knights were fully-armored, and traditional bows and even crossbows found it hard to pose any threat, making their defense against edged weapons practically perfect.

However, this type of armor didn’t offer much protection against blunt weapon strikes because such attacks could pass through the plate and transmit the kinetic energy directly onto the body, and the human body couldn’t withstand the direct impact of kinetic energy.

With the advent of the age of firearms, bullets packed with powerful kinetic energy could easily penetrate these armors, triggering a military revolution in Europe.

It could be said that military history has been, time and again, a contest between kinetic energy and density – as weapon kinetic energy continued to increase, so too did the need for greater armor density.

From the age of firearms to modern civilization, which spanned several hundred years, armor density failed to achieve any effective breakthrough, while weapon kinetic energy kept on increasing. Therefore, over these centuries, humankind had simply given up on defense in exchange for other advantages, thus triggering yet another round of military revolution.

With advancements in technology, particularly in the use of high-density composite materials, armor density finally achieved a breakthrough. Only then did humanity regain the defense it had abandoned for hundreds of years.

Upon entering Otherworld, the entirely new defensive pattern of Magic Runes dazzled Earthlings. In Otherworld, there was such an incredible form of defense that did not require reinforcing armor density to withstand powerful kinetic impacts.

Although the primary cause of Earth’s defeat in the Second Otherworld War was human error, unfamiliarity with Otherworld was also an objective factor. The strong Defense Runes of Otherworld made Earthlings doubt for the first time their kinetic firepower, which they believed they’d developed to its pinnacle and even considered to be excessive.

Of course, powerful cannons could still effectively strike the Otherworld Allied Army, but the tactical and combat methods of the Otherworld troops took the multinational forces by surprise. Making full use of their home advantage and mobility, these Otherworlders, relying on medieval weapons and equipment, managed to strike a modern army equipped with advanced weapons into successive retreat and nearly complete annihilation.

For the Otherworld Research Center, Kaidar metal was a fusion of spear and shield. Its high density and unique fragmentation resistance allowed it to be used in both offensive and defensive realms, and a breakthrough in the research of this metal would undoubtedly rewrite humanity’s military history again.

"Whatever the case, we have no way to deal with that puppet as of now. Our only option seems to be waiting it out. But now, with the Snow God on her side, it isn’t right for us to act, so let’s just wait and see if such an opportunity arises in the future," Tangmo shrugged and said.

"Don’t always go against the Snow God..." Fulajie’er floated in front of everyone, saying in a grieved tone.

"We’re not targeting it, and we don’t want to be enemies with the Snow God, but if it insists on opposing us, then there’s nothing we can do, right?" Cheng Ziang said indifferently.

"They were living there peacefully, and it’s clearly us who disturbed them. Don’t act like they’re attacking us on their own initiative, don’t pretend to be the good guy after doing something wrong," Fulajie’er muttered.

"Er..." Fulajie’r’s words left everyone present speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Just like Fulajie’er said, the Advance Team’s entering the tomb was essentially grave robbing, and no matter how eloquently they tried to justify it, it was inescapable. Presenting oneself as noble while engaging in despicable acts – Luo’er couldn’t do such a thing, so he readily admitted that the Advance Team was in the wrong.

"What’s there to be ashamed of? Invaders brought harm to the Snow Domain. Should we allow them to rest in peace on this land? Don’t forget, the invasion of the Aud Empire led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Snow Elves who didn’t even receive a grave and had their corpses exposed to the wilderness. The invaders lorded over everyone in life, and in death, they still wish to rest undisturbed beneath this land. Why should they?" Axia, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up, correcting the wrong values of the Advance Team with an icy tone.

"If I had the power, I would go to that military tomb, deal with that puppet, and drag the general’s corpse out to be burned. Not for any other reason, but for those Snow Elves, whose chests were cut open, their hearts brutally extracted while they were still alive," Axia said through gritted teeth.
