From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

Even though the Leithanian representatives, led by the Black Queen, were unwilling to accept the Empire's bullying behavior, they had no choice but to accept it.

Who made Leithania unable to resist the invasion of the Empire alone?

Moreover, even if Leitania did not fight the Empire alone, but sought other allies to jointly resist the Empire, it would be useless. The Holy Terra Empire was now too powerful, so powerful that unless all the countries on the entire Terra land except the Empire united together, there would be no possibility of a head-on confrontation.

The only way to defeat such a powerful empire is to wait for it to become corrupt internally, and then weaken and split due to various reasons, allowing it to collapse from within. Only in this case can other countries on the land of Terra have a chance of winning against the Holy Terra Empire.

However, according to the estimates of the Twin Queens and other Terran countries that have seen this, this situation is almost impossible to happen in the next two to three hundred years at least.

After all, the Red Dragon Emperor, who established and ruled the empire by his own will, was known to everyone for his dictatorial methods in military and power.

All those who attempted to hinder his rule and divide his power, whether they were merchants from the Commercial Federation or nobles from Ursus and Victoria, were all killed by him.

To this day, all the armies of the vast empire are still firmly controlled by him. Although there seems to be a Prime Minister of the Empire in politics, it is said that he was promoted by the Red Dragon Emperor when he was in Ursus.

It can be said that in the eyes of outsiders, the entire Holy Terra Empire, both in the military and political fields, was an ironclad entity managed by Tallulah, and was under her control from beginning to end.

Therefore, faced with this situation, the countries on Terra, including Leithania, can only look to the future.

Fortunately, although Leithania will be drained of its life by the Empire for a long time in the future, it is not without other means of self-rescue.

As far as the Black Queen knew, the White Queen had already prepared to contact Syracuse before she set off, and was prepared to communicate with Dayan together with Syracuse, so that the three parties could establish a cooperative trade relationship to alleviate some of Leithania's economic losses.

The White Queen also believed that Syracuse and Yan would not refuse. After all, in the entire Terra land, other countries except the Holy Terra Empire have reached the point where they are in a desperate situation. Syracuse and Great Yan would not watch Leithania, a country currently standing at the forefront of the empire, being annexed by the empire. Moreover, this cooperation is essentially a win-win situation for all three parties.

Letania received assistance from Syracuse and Yan State to ease the pressure. Syracuse, as a transit station for the cooperation between Letania and Dayan, can make a lot of money, while Dayan has obtained a large market share of Letania, and with the help of Syracuse, it can also deliver goods to Letania at a lower transportation cost. Letania and Syracuse will also introduce policy support for Dayan's products.

Judging from the cooperation alone, Letania actually gained the least. It only gained Syracuse's more convenient trade channels and Yan's more affordable goods to ease domestic economic pressure. However, judging from the results, Letania was the one with the greatest demand for this cooperation, and it had reached an urgent level.

It has to be admitted that the Twin Queens' reaction was indeed very quick, and the decision they made was very decisive and correct. On the one hand, they chose to stabilize the empire first despite the huge gap in strength, and on the other hand, they immediately took advantage of the fear of other Terra countries towards the empire to seek assistance, thereby alleviating their own pressure.

Unfortunately, what the Gemini Queens didn’t know was that one of the partners they chose was a mole.

The Moon Wolf Legion, which secretly controls the entire country of Syracuse, had already reported the matter to their loving father, Anxiu and Lappland, as soon as the White Queen extended an invitation for cooperation to Syracuse.

Therefore, the Empire now knows Leithania's plan very clearly.

However, Anshu and Tallulah had no intention of stopping it.

After all, it is better to open up than to block. For the empire, Leithania is now a piece of meat on the edge of its mouth, which can be eaten at any time when there is a need.

In this case, instead of giving no hope at all, An Xiu thought it would be better to give the other party some false hope to prevent the other party from making some extreme choices.

Of course, the Empire would not be afraid even if Leithania made any extreme choice. The reason for avoiding it was that in Anxiu's eyes, Leithania was already half of the Empire's territory, and it would belong to him sooner or later, so he would avoid it if he could.

As for Tallulah? She simply viewed the giant wendigo's attack on Letania as a warning and retaliation from the Empire against Letania's attempted border infiltration. In her opinion, the matter was over when the giant wendigo entered Letania's territory and taught Letania a lesson. The subsequent demands for further compensation and the signing of various agreements were all Anxiu's suggestions.

If Anxiu hadn't said it, she would have chosen to put the matter behind her. After all, the Queen's Voice spy from Leithania only helped some remnants of the nobles to control a small border town, while the Empire actually sent a giant Wendigo to penetrate the Leithanian border army and entered Leithania to cause damage.

However, since Anshu wanted to go further and ask for more benefits from Leitania, Tallulah also chose to support him. Although she felt that this might be a bit too bullying, if it was Anshu's decision...

Anxiu will not harm herself, so Tallulah will not oppose any decision of Anxiu.

This is not only because she will be controlled by Anxiu, but more because of Tallulah's own judgment.

After all, although this control relationship exists, Anshu has never used this ability on Tallulah. Only Mebius demonstrated it to her once at the beginning, so Tallulah almost forgot about it.

Chapter 201: Mass Production of Core Combat Force? Weierwei's Transformation Results and Proposals

In this way, the compensation paid by Leithania to the Empire and the signing of various treaties were completed. The Black Queen and other Leithanian representatives left the Empire and chose to return after a short stay.

Judging from the results, the conflict between the Empire and Leithania has ended, but the problems exposed in the conflict between the Empire and Leithania must be solved.

How could a group of remnants of the nobility secretly occupy a small border town of the Empire? In addition to the help of the Queen's Voice spies from Leithania, the main reason was that apart from the major cities of the Empire, many remote cities of the Empire lacked sufficient core forces to guard them.

If all border cities had Wendigo Corps stationed there, even if there were only a single-digit number of Wendigos in a city, the remnants of the nobles and the Queen's Voice spies would not have been able to succeed as easily as this time. Instead, they would have been discovered by the Wendigo and their heads would have been twisted off on the spot.

Of course, the occurrence of this situation is not actually the empire's problem. On the contrary, the empire's decision is very normal. No country will disperse its ace troops to a bunch of small towns with no great strategic significance to guard them. Good steel must of course be used on the blade. It is sufficient to entrust ordinary border towns like this one to ordinary soldiers or even local security teams to assist in management.

However, this is an unavoidable problem for ordinary countries, but it is different for the Holy Terra Empire.

Considering that the empire now has giant Wendigos, and the number of ordinary Wendigo legions has expanded to a full seven thousand, it is not a big problem to divide half of the Wendigo legions and spread them throughout the empire.

But Anxiu felt that apart from dispersing the power of the Wendigo Legion, he should have other solutions.

Thinking of this, Anxiu greeted Tallulah in the palace, then opened the portal and headed to Mebius's research base.

......

In the One Punch Man world, inside Mebius's research base.

As soon as he opened the door of the laboratory, before he could speak, An Xiu saw General Lei Dian standing next to the laboratory door.

At this moment, General Lei Dian's body has been fully recovered, but he did not perform any aggressive behavior like before.

According to General Lei Dian's original logic, let alone seeing An Xiu, just the pile of experimental equipment around him would be enough for him to regard it as an eternal variable and then draw his sword and start slashing.

Seeing this, Anxiu looked at Mebius and Velvet in the laboratory.

"Have you solved the problem of General Thunder?"

In response, the two people who were originally busy with the experiment stopped what they were doing and nodded.

"I simply cultivated a new demon body and transferred Lei Dianying's consciousness out. The rest of the problems were solved by Wei Erwei."

"Well, after my modifications, the thinking logic of this puppet's body has been rewritten, so now there's no need to worry about her attacking us or the surrounding environment."

Mebius and Velvet spoke one after another.

"Is that so? Then, Vivi, what have you done to General Raiden's logic?"

Hearing this, An Xiu asked.

In this regard, Weiwei, in her expert personality, described it to Anxiu.

"It's simple. I simply modified General Lei Dian's logic regarding eternity and combined it with your existence, Master."

"Simply put, in the eyes of the current General Raiden, you are the eternity she seeks."

"I have become the eternity that General Raiden is pursuing?"

After hearing what expert Wei Erwei said, An Xiu turned his gaze to General Lei Dian again.

General Lei Dian nodded calmly.

"Yes, to me, your existence is the true embodiment of eternity, an existence even more sublime than the laws of nature. The so-called eternity I pursued before was false. An existence like yours is what I truly pursue."

"From now on, I will be at your service. I only hope that my body and Inazuma can be stained with a little of your glory. This will be our supreme honor."

Good man, this effect is definitely just a change in logic, and not directly brainwashing General Lei Dian? You know, An Xiu and Wei Erwei’s words just now were not behind General Lei Dian’s back at all.

"How's it going? Isn't it working well? For the current General of Thunder, every word you say is the truth. To some extent, you are even more obedient than us clones."

Judging from the tone, it is very likely that Vivi has switched to the magician personality and spoke to Anxiu in a meaningful way.

"And if I remember correctly, she was rude to you before, Master, and even attacked you. Now, if you give her the order, even if you ask her to take off all her clothes and fold them aside and then bow down to you, she won't refuse."

Then when the urge came, I just brought Velvet and Mebius to start a game here, right?

"We can arrange these later, let's get down to business first."

Temporarily suppressing the thoughts aroused by Vilvi, An Xiu told Vilvi and Mebius about the situation on the Ark.

"Well, to put it simply, we need a core combat force that can be mass-produced, right? This problem is very simple. If you ask me, we can solve it by simply creating a power armor that can significantly increase the wearer's strength."

Wei Erwei touched her chin and said after a brief thought.

"I remember Terra already has native mechas like the Steam Knight that can be controlled by humans and can significantly increase combat capabilities, right?"

"Then I just need to build on this and design a new type of mecha that has lower requirements for the wearer, is more convenient, easier to produce, and has stronger combat capabilities. Then I can design a few production lines, and this problem can be solved in a very short time."

"In this regard, Wei Erwei does have the advantage."

Mebius on the side also nodded, with no intention of proposing any new plan or competing with the other party.

All the actions of the clone are based on the interests of the original body as the highest priority. As for the question just raised by Anxiu, compared to asking Mebius to create new biological weapons, Vilvi's proposal is obviously better.

After all, if you want to solve the problem raised by An Xiu this time, strength is secondary. As long as you can face the ordinary elite troops on Terra's side without being defeated, the production speed is the most critical factor in solving this problem.

Compared to biological weapons that require slow cultivation and the slightly more expensive mass-produced Ouroboros potion, mechanical equipment that can be mass-produced and popularized with just a production line and can keep costs extremely low is clearly a better choice.

It is not even limited to equipping ordinary soldiers with mechas similar to Steam Knights. In addition to the initial production line, Vilvi can also free up her hands to design, produce and equip a set of power armor for the Wendigo Legion and the Luna Wolves Legion respectively.

Chapter 202: Imitation Steam Knight Armor and Astartes Power Armor, Progress in Redstone Research

It was naturally not a difficult task for Weiwei to simply design a few sets of power armor. After just a little idea, Weiwei drew the preliminary drawings and started to put them into practice.

Judging from the design drawings, the steam knight-like power armor used to equip ordinary soldiers is undoubtedly the simplest. According to Velvi's design, this steam knight-like power armor has the least requirements for the wearer. Theoretically, with the average physical fitness of the Terrans, any Terran with some physical advantages can meet the requirements through a little training.

But this does not mean that this imitation Steam Knight power armor is weak. On the contrary, its data is not inferior to the original Steam Knight armor. It is a powerful weapon on the battlefield and is more than enough to maintain street security in various cities in the empire.

There is no need to worry that this set of imitation Steam Knight power armor will be snatched away by forces from other countries. Each set of power armor has been set up with permissions and positioning systems by Weiwei. Without Anxiu's authorization, this thing cannot be used at all. On the contrary, if this set of armor is found to have flowed into other countries, it will give the empire an excuse to declare war on the grounds of stealing important military equipment.

In addition to the imitation Steam Knight power armor used to equip ordinary soldiers, the Astartes power armor designed by Vilvi based on a game in Anxiu's previous life and used to equip the Wendigo Legion and the Astartes power armor II used to equip the Shadow Moon Wolves Legion are much more complicated.

The first is the prototype of the Astartes power armor equipped for the Wendigo Legion. Its heavy armor not only provides extremely high protection for the wearer, but also provides the wearer with tremendous strength blessing. A set of Astartes power armor is enough to double the strength of a Wendigo, and the matching chainsaw sword will also provide the wearer with stronger offensive capabilities.

At the same time, this set of Astartes power armor also has certain reconnaissance and flight capabilities, which can allow the wearer to jump over many obstacles when necessary, such as jumping directly onto the city wall.

Once this situation occurs, the strength of the Wendigo Legion equipped with Astartes power armor will undoubtedly be a disaster for the enemy.

However, although this set of Astartes power armor has great benefits for the wearer, the usage requirements and physical burden it places on the wearer are also very terrifying. Except for the Wendigo Legion, there should be few races in the entire Terra that can be equipped with this kind of armor for long-term combat.

Unlike the Astartes power armour equipped to the Wendigo Legion, the Astartes power armour II equipped to the Luna Wolves Legion is much smaller in comparison. After all, considering that all members of the Luna Wolves Legion are Luper girls with white fur and animal ears, it is natural to make such an improvement.

According to Vilvi's design, this set of power armor II for the Luna Wolves would not provide much protection. After all, all members of the Luna Wolves possessed terrifying self-healing abilities. As a light power armor, its main function was to provide the wearer with greater speed and explosive power. At the same time, it would also enhance the Luna Wolves' keen sense of smell, thereby giving them a more powerful reconnaissance capability.

Similar to the Astartes power armor equipped by the Wendigo Legion, this set of Type II power armor equipped by the Luna Wolves Legion has lower requirements for the user than the Wendigo Legion, but the burden on the body is equally terrifying. However, considering the average physical fitness and self-healing ability of the Luna Wolves members, this burden can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

"I've already made arrangements on the production line. We'll have the first batch of finished products in a few days. Before that, do you want me to make a few samples and send them over for testing?"

Only Wei Erwei asked.

"Don't bother with that. I still believe in your abilities, Wei Erwei. It's not too late to discuss the specific tests after the first batch of finished products are produced."

An Xiu shook his head and replied.

"Speaking of which, how's your research going on with the set of redstone I sent you earlier?"

Ignoring the question about power armor, An Xiu turned to ask about the research status of the batch of redstone he had sent earlier.

"The research is progressing quite well. Although many of the game world's features have been lost since entering the real world, and there's still no in-game workbench for processing, at least the most basic features are still there."

"In reality, redstone still possesses the property of releasing unlimited energy. It can be said that it completely subverts the law of conservation of energy. Mebius and I are now trying to utilize its properties."

"For example, the power armor I just designed for the Wendigo Legion and the Luna Wolves Legion incorporates redstone as a source of energy, unlike ordinary Steam Knight-like power armor that uses Originium as fuel."

"Mebius and I are currently planning to build a redstone energy plant within the research base to provide energy for the entire base. If all goes well, we only need to build a few more of these energy plants, and all future experimental projects will no longer have to worry about energy."

When it comes to redstone, Weiwei's expression is full of interest. After all, to a certain extent, redstone represents endless energy. After simple processing, redstone can not only release energy infinitely, but its own energy properties are also surprisingly stable.

Compared with redstone energy, nuclear energy, electrical energy, and destructive energy are all insignificant. From an energy perspective alone, redstone energy is perfect and is the ideal cornerstone for the development of any civilization's technological system.

Mebius beside him also nodded.

"I'm currently trying to integrate the properties of redstone into living organisms, but unfortunately, I haven't made any progress."

Compared to Velvi, who had a blast studying the redstone after getting it, Mebius undoubtedly gained much less from his research on the redstone.

Compared to redstone, she actually hoped that An Xiu could get some biological materials for her research. She was not greedy and would be satisfied with any research materials such as Doomsday, Leaf Rot, Fertility Star God or Breeding Star God.

An Xiu's mouth twitched at this.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Are those things he is capable of getting now?

If they really want to take action against these things, they have to at least wait until Sakura grows up for a while, and then they can all cling to Sakura's thighs.

"I'll send you some Haisi in a while so you can study it first. As for the rest... let's talk about it later."

Chapter 203: Tallulah: I wonder who dares to say I'm not feminine again!

Another week had passed since Mebius and Velvi returned to the Ark World. The first batch of imitation Steam Knight power armor and Astartes power armor had been produced and delivered.

There are a total of two thousand power armors, and more than half of them are imitation steam knight power armors.
