"My second preparation," Ye Zhongming said, signaling everyone to retreat to the control console area, as the control room was now packed with nearly a hundred people.
Everyone was puzzled but followed Ye Zhongming's instructions.
With a casual wave of his hand, at least a hundred mechanical battle beasts appeared in the room.
Both the Alliance of Small Races, watching the true situation from the control room, and the Su Clan members staring at the scene through the light barrier, were left speechless in astonishment.
"So many...mechanical battle beasts?!"
A member from Dark Strip City, who had a deep understanding of mechanics, was astonished. Back in the day, they were nearly on par with the Tarros Red Dwarf, but that slight difference in capability left them unable to withstand the ruthless competition from the Dwarfs. After several trade wars and direct conflicts, they fell from a major clan to a minor one, moving away from the Survivor Fortress of the Tarros Red Dwarf and gradually ending up in a small city like Dark Strip City, now teetering on the brink of extermination like the Star-Eye Clan.
They were also the first to be swayed by the Star-Eye Clan to join the Alliance of Small Races. Their thought was simple: even without the many benefits offered by the Star-Eye Clan, they still wanted to take a gamble. The Star-Eye Clan had a new entry-level member, but they did not; if they didn’t take a chance now, they might never have another opportunity.
The leader of this small clan rushed in front of the mechanical battle beasts, nearly drooling. Many of their own technologies had been lost, but their vision remained intact.
"Crimson condensation level mechanical battle beasts, such good stuff! Alas, they are a bit aged and worn, even though they have been refurbished, their power has dropped by at least a third compared to their peak performance."
"Renyi level, brand new? So many? Hmm, not bad, not bad. Hey, this doesn’t quite look like the technology of the Tarros Red Dwarf. No, no, aside from those Dwarfs, it seems no one else could produce such things. It appears that over the years, the Dwarfs have been making various attempts. Our ancestors' defeat to them doesn’t seem too unjustified."
"These... at most, can be classified as common level. When did the Tarros Red Dwarf start manufacturing mechanical battle beasts of this grade? With these materials, wouldn’t it be better to create ones above kegang level? It seems they have only been producing crimson condensation level ones in recent years, strange, strange..."
The leader's voice echoed clearly in the extremely quiet control room; even though his volume wasn't loud, everyone heard him clearly.
People exchanged glances, feeling a bit strange toward Ye Zhongming.
Everyone was acutely aware of the value of mechanical battle beasts. Just think about how much Ye Zhongming spent purchasing Renyi level mechanical battle beasts back then!
Undeniably, these things were powerful. A crimson condensation level mechanical battle beast could rival a master worth over fifty thousand fuleira.
A top-quality Renyi level mechanical battle beast, while not as strong as a great master, could still exhibit the combat power of seventy to eighty thousand fuleira warriors.
However, while acknowledging their strength, the number of mechanical battle beasts was ultimately limited; they were complicated to manufacture and required a lot of materials, along with high technical demands. Even the Tarros Red Dwarf wouldn't easily produce them. With that time and financial resources, they could create several pieces of equipment of the same level.
Huo Zhi suddenly turned to glance at Jie Su.
Previously, he had heard Elder Yao Han Su mention that Jie Su had purchased quite a few mechanical battle beasts through some channels of the Su Clan, likely for Ye Zhongming.
Jie Su hesitated for a moment and nodded, but he was churning with thoughts.
He had indeed purchased mechanical battle beasts at Ye Zhongming's behest and even ordered a batch from the Tarros Red Dwarf.
