Aks has been in high spirits lately, his status in the family rising day by day. Previously, Aks was not the strongest in the family due to his love for adventure, and he rarely concerned himself with family matters. As a result, his position as the heir of the O'Neill family was not very secure.
However, the news Aks brought back this time was incredibly important for the O'Neill family. It was this information that prompted the O'Neill family to begin preparations for the invasion of the Ark Continent.
In this context, Aks's status within the family became increasingly stable, and his qualifications as the heir were no longer questioned by anyone.
Because of this, Aks took the invasion of the Ark Continent very seriously. In his view, this invasion was definitely a good opportunity. If the family could conquer the Ark Continent, the position of family head would surely be his in the future.
This was why Aks was so enthusiastic about this invasion. He even participated in many matters that were not originally his responsibility.
The family head of the O'Neill family, who is also Aks's father, truly dotes on his son. Seeing Aks getting involved in those matters, he did not try to stop him; on the contrary, he was very supportive.
Previously, Aks did not pay enough attention to family affairs, which was exactly what worried his father. As the family head, one can delegate power, but one must know what is happening within the family. Delegation does not mean being oblivious; otherwise, one would become a puppet.
Aks used to be like that, which caused great concern for his father. Therefore, when Aks displayed such enthusiasm this time, his father not only did not stop him, but also encouraged him.
In the Atlantis Continent, especially in the Mecha Continent, they wanted to conduct large-scale military operations. There were many preparations to be made.
For example, the divine race also needed to make preparations before attacking someone; troop mobilization, resource allocation, and weapon storage all had to be carefully organized before action could be taken. A military operation without thorough preparation would only end in failure.
Moreover, the battle preparations on the Atlantis Continent required even more. Their main weapons were mechas, which had strong defensive and offensive capabilities. However, mechas also had a drawback: they required power.
Unlike humans, particularly those with divine-level strength, who have great combat ability and only need food and some rest to continue fighting, mechas are different. They require a compressed energy device to provide power. The energy in these devices is extracted and compressed from ordinary magic crystals found in the Atlantis Continent.
This energy device is the heart of the mecha. Therefore, the first thing prepared for the mechas was these energy devices. A mecha without an energy device is just a pile of scrap metal.
Because of the need to prepare these things, the Atlantis Continent required significantly more time to prepare for battle compared to the divine race. The divine race could mobilize troops within a month, while the Atlantis Continent needed at least two to three months to prepare.
In addition to these compressed energy devices, there were many other things that needed preparation for an attack from the Atlantis Continent, with transportation tools being the first priority.
The mechas from the Atlantis Continent are like airplanes; they are certainly more powerful than airplanes, but they have a very limited capacity for carrying energy devices. Once these energy devices are used up, the mechas would no longer have any combat power.
Thus, while mechas can be used for fighting, they cannot engage in prolonged combat. They also cannot use their limited energy just for traveling. Therefore, if they want to use mechas for combat, they need to find another way to transport them using a larger vehicle.
The Atlantis Continent has many such transport vehicles; some can operate on water, while others can move on land. Undoubtedly, all of these transport vehicles are quite large.
