In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

When he thought of this, he also made up his mind silently...

……

After leaving Zuo's house, Maria and Sui followed the man and walked towards Bailiansi again.

But this time, they did not take the small path, but quietly approached a hidden corner.

Even Wei Sanzheng was ordered to stay nearby this time and was not allowed to enter with the men.

This made Maria even more curious.

What methods did Yan Country use to create the strength and situation to suppress the giant beasts in the future?

Soon, Maria and these people arrived at the underground space inside.

it's here……

She saw a lot of things.

"drawing?"

Looking at the drawings piled up all over the room, Maria picked up one at random and took a quick look at it.

It is an improved design of previous artillery.

The outcome of the previous battle in Nanjiang City had shown these people the potential of artillery, but the current artillery was still too heavy, its power was not fully utilized, and it was still unsafe...

So they decided to start upgrading their artillery.

but……

"Is that all?"

Maria turned her head.

If it's just the design of the artillery, that's far from enough...

Maria has also seen what the future world will look like, and has seen war monsters that are far more terrifying and turbulent than those of this era.

She did not deny that after gathering enough equipment, those mobile city-states would also pose a high threat to ordinary behemoths.

but……

That's not enough.

Not enough yet...

"Of course it won't be these."

The man shook his head slightly.

Of course he knew that these things were not enough, and the artillery of Nanjiang City did show its potential to everyone.

But facing those giant beasts, it is too bulky and needs to be prepared in advance...

But the behemoth will not wait for human attack like that.

They can also sneak attack...

and so……

"And these."

The man turned his head.

Maria then noticed that on the wall next to her, which was seven or eight meters high, there were hundreds of pieced-together drawings!

The precise lines show the designer's meticulousness to everyone in the simplest way, and the dense lines are of exactly the same thickness!

The ancient and simple lines precisely outline a plan that even Maria has to take seriously.

"You want to... turn the entire Yan Kingdom into a war machine?"

From the blueprint, Maria could already see traces of the future mobile city-state, but... unlike the mobile city-state of the future, the blueprint at this time was not so much about allowing the city to run, but rather about allowing the city to fight!

The areas that a city district should have are divided in sequence.

From the safe zones to which civilians were evacuated, to the design of the various counterattack turret openings, the placement of the attack equipment inside them, and the location of the dispatch console...

What surprised Maria even more was the various detailed numbers...

No...those things are not numbers, but...marks?

It was at this time that Maria noticed that there were piles of papers on the wall and floor beside her, and each piece of paper was marked with a corresponding number!

When stacked together, they could even be higher than the entire room!

They really intend to do this and have already started to implement it!

"These...were you guys doing this after you entered Nanjiang City?"

Maria simply picked up a piece of paper, looked at it for a few seconds, and was also a little surprised.

But the man shook his head.

"This is a plan that was started a long time ago..."

Nanjiang City is at most just a catalyst. The main body of the plan has already been prepared.

He took a deep breath and raised his head silently.

"Since the beginning of recorded history, Da Yan has always lived in close proximity to giant beasts... I know that perhaps in some countries, people regard giant beasts as gods and use various means to try to make friends with them."

"I also don't deny that there was indeed a time in the Great Yan when we bowed down to the giant beast and prayed for its protection..."

"But...what results did we get?"

"The so-called behemoth never took us seriously..."

The man's voice was calm, as if he was recounting history.

But Maria could sense the deep anger hidden in the man's words.

"Before I ascended the throne, I traveled all over Da Yan with several of my brothers..."

"I've seen the foolishness of countless villages. When they encounter wild demons, they send away children less than a month old, under the pretext of appeasing their anger..."

"I saw countless poor people forced to leave their homes and eat their own children due to natural disasters..."

"I've seen countless swindlers wantonly bullying the common people, all because of a single word about the power of a giant beast..."

"All our contributions, all our pleas, all the things that are worth our attention, in the eyes of those giant beasts, can't even attract attention!"

"From that moment on, I understood that the so-called giant beasts never care about humans."

The man clenched his fists and silently turned his head to look at the two people in front of him.

He knew that these two people were also behemoths, but in this situation, he still chose to speak his mind.

In fact, he had already made preparations since he chose to bring these two people here.

Why did he leave Wei Sanzheng, whom he trusted the most, on the ground?

Because he had been prepared from the very beginning.

If there is any problem, the other party will detonate the explosives buried on the ground since the beginning of the construction of this area, burying everyone dozens of meters underground!

Perhaps Dayan will lose an emperor, but... Dayan can also lose two dangerous beasts!

Even a giant beast cannot remain indifferent when faced with dozens of meters thick rock mud without any preparation.

Even if they can get out, they will be greeted by the most elite forces in the entire Baizao!

He just looked at Maria and Sui with a calm expression.

"It was also from that time that I began to feel that this land ultimately belongs to us..."

"As the Emperor of Great Yan, the only thing I have to do is to return this land to its people..."

"..."

Neither the old man nor Maria said anything, they just looked at each other quietly.

However, Maria remained calm in response to what the man said, as if she had seen all kinds of suffering.

But Sui was smiling.

"So... you want to defeat the behemoth?"

"……more than."

There was fire in the man's eyes, like a blazing madness.

"I want to... conquer the behemoth!"

"Just relying on these?"

He remained indifferent, as if the other party was not targeting his compatriots.

In fact, for the behemoth, family affection has never existed.

They are all unique individuals and never consider others as their own kind.

"..."

The man did not reply. He just looked deeply at the two women in front of him, his attitude calm and composed.

But Sui smiled and shook his head.

"Then I won't mention whether these things can defeat the behemoths or conquer them as you planned. But I want to ask, what do you plan to do with the behemoths you conquer...if these things can fulfill your wish."

“To be used by others.”

The man's words were still so calm.

There is no doubt about his disgust and hostility towards the behemoth.

But even so, he was still able to stay calm.

Killing the giant beast is certainly the best option, but it is not the best result for Dayan.

The best option is to deprive the behemoths of their power and be controlled by them.

"It's not an easy thing to do."

She looked at the man in front of her.

I have to admit that the other party is indeed very ambitious.

Conquer the behemoth?

Many people may have had this idea in their minds.

But... at least for now, Sui only saw the man in front of him making such a move.

But ambition is just ambition after all.

Without corresponding strength, the so-called ambition is just a joke.

And now, what she questioned was the other party's ability.

"What do you want to do? Build these cardboard shells, mount countless cannons on them, and use other people's lives to fill in the future you envision at the behemoth?"

“…It’s impossible to do it with just these things.”

The man shook his head.

He turned around and led everyone into action.

And Sui and Maria followed.

"Although artillery is powerful, the bodies of behemoths are incredibly strong. Although steel is strong, behemoth attacks are never easy... The feat of conquering behemoths cannot be accomplished simply by relying on the passage of time and technology."

"The most essential thing is the surging power of the giant beast..."

"so?"

I'm a little curious.

"So... we plan to use another method to plunder the giant beast's power..."

The man said, stopping.

Next to him, a large, solid, translucent yellow-black crystal, three people tall, lay quietly within the sealed area...

Unique diamond-shaped patterns float slowly in it, as if the interior is full of liquid.

Sui was stunned for a few moments, then a smile appeared on his face.
