With the Empire Building Sub System on her side, Qiu Yue had managed to slap down a fresh batch of railroad tracks without much trouble. She had already known long ago that she would be one of the partic.i.p.ants to take the fight to the Demon Rats via the tunnels.
Thus, this railroad train plan was all along part of her solution to fight against the Demon Rats especially when she knew that Jin"s Army would be transversing through from either the East or West Tunnels just to reach the Undercity.
"I am not going to walk hundreds of kilometres just to reach the Undercity!" That was her initial thought when they came out with the plans to stop the Demon Rats from invading other regions.
While it was a good plan to begin with, the process would definitely be a long and arduous trip for the armies to go through. The only advantage they had was that they did not have to worry about supply lines since they had the power of the System to aid them with that. Or else, realistically, this could be an operation that would never see its completion at all, in fact, the Demon Rats might overwhelm them.
And unlike her new teacher, Qiu Yue was nowhere at the skills of Zeru where she could fight for days without stopping. The Red Panda Cultivator had seen him chase after the Banned Emperor lackeys for days by foot when the latter managed to get a car to escape.
To the Banned Emperor lackeys, it was a terror trying to escape from the infamous Sword Saint as his qing gong was already equivalent to the speed of a car. Those lackeys eventually wanted to surrender but Zeru did the thing that would benefit Jin best. By giving them to Kraft and allowing him to get all the information before disposing of them.
Thus, in this particular instance, she had decided to bash her way through so that it will take the Demon Rats by surprise. The only she worried about was that the Demon Rats had decided to turn suicidal and blast the tunnel to kingdom come.
When that happens both sides would definitely take casualties but the losing end would no doubt be the Demon Rats since they had blocked the tunnel access which they had been working so hard to maintain and invade the greener pastures.
But instead of worrying about the worst case scenario, Qiu Yue had already summoned a train via her Empire Building Sub System and its appearance had already smashed a few Demon Rats into pieces.
"Heh Heh Heh! Behold my almighty War Train!" Qiu Yue declared as she knelt on one knee and spread open her arms towards the train that emerge literally from nowhere. Her flouris.h.i.+ng of the War Train made Weslie giggle quietly and she was commanding the Queen"s Royal Knights and army to hope onto the train.
As for the train itself, the front was mounting a ma.s.sive siege weapon as well as a well reinforced cowcatcher, known to deflect obstacles on the track that could have damaged or derail the train. After all, the Demon Rats would do whatever it takes to stop the train from moving and Qiu Yue had prepared in advance to make sure that her war train would move unhindered through the corpses of the Demon Rats as well.
The train"s wheels were also protected with multiple layers of armour as well making sure that it has enough strength to crash through remnants or debris left by the Demon Rats. And to have such power, the parts that Qiu Yue used were strengthened with inscriptions. Each and every portion of the train had been slapped with multiple reinforcing inscriptions to make sure they would not fall apart.
As if that was not an overkill, the train was packed with the latest mana engine that the military research had tolled day and night just to create it. (Obviously, they were doing it for the personal System Points which Qiu Yue had promised to give as well as a monstrous sum after the train had performed well during the live battle.)
And that was only the interior structure of the train as Qiu Yue had also fitted it with dozens of gun emplacements ranging from gatling guns, and mini cannons to crates of arrows for those inept at using a gun. Only a few from the Queen"s army were willing to give the modern weapon of destruction a try.
The Demon Rats were no doubt shocked by the emergence of the train but after all the intense fighting, they got over it pretty quickly and knew that the war train was their number of priority to ensure their survival.
And so hundreds of the Demon Rats were already aiming their fire towards it while the ones with melee expertise attempted to jump onto the train and kill its occupants when it was starting to take off.
"No no no. No, you do not touch my precious!" Qiu Yue exclaimed as she dashed across the front carriage of her War Train and spent 5000 Dungeon Dollars on her new toy. Suddenly turret barrels emerged from the train"s front and crackling sounds of thunder boomed through the tunnel.
? The Demon Rats that were initially rus.h.i.+ng to the War Train had been completely decimated, allowing it to move forward as the Empire Building Sub System automatically insert tracks right in front of the train.
Some of the Demon Rats thought they could stop the tracks from being inserted correctly by standing right in front of the train but they never knew that as it dropped from the s.p.a.ce above them, the tracks" placements were something close to a literal ton of energy dropping on to the ground to have it affixed.
This squashed the Demon Rats like bugs and their innards were spread all over the ground while the train stamped through it effortlessly. If anything, Weslie"s group of knights might potentially be the first to reach the Undercity and reinforce the main army.
