118 – Eudorax The Envoy
Ever since the Portable Fortified Stronghold was completed, the battle prowess of Yang Feng’s primary battle robots had suddenly skyrocketed by at least a hundred times. But he had no intentions of risking those primary battle robots for Turandot Subcontinent’s humans. If he were to send his primary battle robots to help Turandot Subcontinent’s humans defeat the allied force from the under world; then next, he might become the enemy of Turandot Subcontinent’s six great Warlock groups, before having them jointly restrict his development to the point of almost stifling him.
In addition, Yang Feng wasn’t indigenous to Turandot Subcontinent and wasn’t a person with a n.o.ble character that would selflessly risk his hide for Turandot Subcontinent’s humans. It’s only natural that he wasn’t willing to invest his forces in a dangerous war without any benefits.
Eunice, Judy and s.h.i.+ Xue; these three were relatively important to Yang Feng and had already been called back to Giant-Stone City. Yang Feng was ready to escape with his Portable Fortified Stronghold at any time.
A crisp ringing suddenly sounded beside Yang Feng. Yang Feng at once took the helmet.
The eyes of the Liquid-Metal Robot named Yang Ye blossomed with traces of red light and it entered the bouleuterion.
“I’ve seen City Master Daren!”
Allen, dressed in a silver-white Warlock’s robe with silver thread on the cuffs, bowed respectfully towards Yang Feng in salute. Relying on the huge amount of resources provided by Yang Feng, Allen had finally managed to promote to a level-1 Warlock not long ago. This made him even more grateful and awed towards Yang Feng.
"What is it?"
“Warlock College Antalya’s Eudorax Daren requests a meeting.”
“Take him to the reception to see me.”
“City Master Daren, Eudorax didn’t came alone. Fernandro Family’s Patriarch Leimix came also.”
Yang Feng was very surprised as he said: “Leimix? How come he also came?”
Yang Feng’s Steel City had swallowed almost half of Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality, stepping on Fernandro Family in order to expand. The people of Fernandro Family were itching to skin Yang Feng and burn him to cinders. 300 odd bodies of spies and a.s.sa.s.sins fell outside Black City each year, testifying to the terror of Steel City’s mechanical legion. Fernandro Family didn’t had any means of retaliation.
Yang Feng thought for a moment before saying: “Take him to the reception as well!”
Even if a powerful politician were to meet his mortal enemy, but he still could enter an alliance with his enemy in the face of benefits. Although Yang Feng wasn’t a politician, but he still had no qualms in meeting people from Fernandro Family. After all, it was him who took advantage of Fernandro Family and not the other way around.
Black City, inside the reception.
When Yang Feng saw Eudorax, he instantly proceeded to welcome the other warmly: “Eudorax, my good friend. For you to come visit me, is something the matter?”
Eudorax had given Yang Feng a lifesaving woodchip at the time, before saving him once. Yang Feng was still thankful towards him.
Eudorax said in a heavy voice: “Yang Ye, I’ve come to deliver to you the orders of Warlock College Antalya. The senate orders you to immediately dispatch your troops to Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s capital and defend it.”
Yang Feng agreed readily: “Alright.”
Only now did Eudorax heaved a slight sigh of relief. He had thought that Yang Feng would blatantly refuse this order. If that were the case, then he would have it difficult on both fronts.
Leimix, a handsome middle-aged man standing beside Eudorax, also heaved a slight sigh of relief.
Yang Feng smiled slightly and said: “As long as Warlock College Antalya gives me 30,000,000 Magic Stones, then I’ll immediately send my troops.”
It was extremely unwise to openly defy the orders of Warlock College Antalya. Of course, Yang Feng wouldn’t obediently comply with Warlock College Antalya’s orders and fight for Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality.
Eudorax’ smile stiffened at once.
The young, beautiful and pure Jessica br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a n.o.ble temperament. She lovely and pitifully looked at Yang Feng before pleading softly: “Respected Steel City’s City Master Daren. I’m Jessica, the third successor of Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality’s Fernandro Family. 30,000,000 Magic Stones is too much. Fernandro Family is unable to take out such a huge amount. Please be a bit understanding this once. Fernandro Family is willing to take out 300,000 Magic Stones; so please send Your troops to support us.
Yang Feng’s gaze fell on Jessica before revealing a trace of a smile.
Fernandro Family’s Jessica was acknowledged as one of the strongest geniuses among Yang Feng’s peers in Warlock College Antalya and had promoted to a level-2 Apprentice Warlock in just over two years. She was pursued by countless male students in Warlock College Antalya and was recognized as one of the four great beauties among Yang Feng’s peers.
Yang Feng said lightly: “Alright, I’ll send an infantry regiment to support you.”
After Yang Feng took over Steel City, he immediately begun to adapt his army and organize it according with earth’s military organization that he was the most familiar with; such as regiment, brigade, division and others. An infantry regiment had around 1,500 warriors.
Jessica’s beautiful complexion changed slightly. She revealed a lovely and pitiful expression before pleading softly: “Please, could You send five mechanized infantry divisions to reinforce us?”
In more than two years, many forces had dispatches spies to enter Steel City; of which, many had formal statuses. Under the investigation of those people, some information that Yang Feng had deliberately released was picked up by them. That’s the only reason why Jessica would know about mechanized infantry divisions.
In Black Dragon Empire, the large number of heavy artillery sold by Yang Feng had displayed tremendous power in the war. The aristocrats of Black Dragon Empire had at once made large orders to buy all kinds of heavy artillery.
There were already many forces in Turandot Subcontinent that knew about the power of Steel City’s heavy artillery. There were also many formidable weapons refined by superior Warlock-Alchemists in Turandot Subcontinent; many of them had even greater power than those heavy artillery. But Steel City’s heavy artillery had the highest cost performance ratio.
Just the price of one scroll of the level-1 spell Fireball was at least 10,000 Magic Stones. In small-scale battles, this level-1 Fireball could help a level-1 Warlock defeat another level-1 Warlock. But in large-scale wars, the power of this Fireball was by far inferior to that of large caliber heavy artillery sh.e.l.ls. Yang Feng very conscientiously priced the large caliber heavy artillery sh.e.l.ls at 500 Magic Stone per sh.e.l.l by.
Each of Yang Feng’s mechanized infantry divisions were equipped with large amounts of tanks, self-propelled artillery, rocket artillery, heavy artillery, heavy-duty a.s.sault helicopters, bombers and transporter aircraft. Jessica wanted for Yang Feng to send his mechanized infantry divisions as support, rather than him casually sending some cannon fodder.
The worth of 1,500 defenseless and untrained people going to a battle field might be even less than that of 50 fully equipped and well trained genuine warriors.
