"Battle fort no.9 has a rank 7 machine, which is the Slayer. Originally, there were 41 rank 6 machines, but this time, the Mech King's Palace sent 44 rank 6 machines. That's a total of 85 and 86 rank 6 machines!"
"Other than that, there are 276 rank 5 machines and 987 rank 4 machines."
Blazing Angel tried her best to count her fingers at the side, trying to keep up with Ajiu's number. But soon, she realized that her fingers were not enough. She immediately looked at Ajiu with admiration.
"You're so good at counting!"
Nine said shyly, "It's just so-so!"
While the two were praising each other, Qi Yuan's scalp went numb.
There were no more than 50 rank 6 warriors in the frontline base, including the genetic warriors. The number of rank 6 warriors in battle fort no.9 was almost twice that of the frontline base. The difference between rank 5 and rank 4 machines was even bigger. With such a huge difference in power, even if the frontline base was the main battlefield, with the support of the Sky Dome defense system, their chances of winning would not be more than 30%.
The difference in power was too big!
How were they going to fight this final battle?
Qi Yuan fell into deep thought.
Although the check-in was important, he would not die for it. With a 30% chance of winning, even if the frontline base was lucky enough to win, it would be a pyrrhic victory. With the Slayer's eyes on him, his chances of survival would be very low.
If things didn't work out, he would have to persuade Duanmu Longxiang to give up and run with the frontline base before battle fort no.9 locked down the wilderness.
Seeing that Qi Yuan was silent, Ajiu became a little nervous and probed, "What's the matter?
"Is it because the frontline base base can't beat battle fort no.9?"
Qi Yuan nodded.
"The difference between a rank 5 and rank 4 battle power is still acceptable, but the huge difference between a rank 6 battle power is enough to decide the outcome of the battle. Unless Duanmu Longxiang can quickly crush Slayer, our chances of winning are very low."
Nine bit her finger and said, "If it's just the difference of rank 6, it won't be that big in a few days."
Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?
Is battle fort no.9 doing something else? "
Ajiu nodded.
"The original purpose of battle fort no.9 was not to target the Black Steel Shelter. Instead, it was because the Mech King's court had discovered a mech ruin, or mech wasteland. However, with the construction of the frontline base, battle fort no.9 had no choice but to face off. Once the Slayer finished exploring the mech wasteland, they would try to destroy the entire frontline base before leaving."
"Right now, most of the Slayer's attention is on the machine ruin. They don't have any intention of going all out. Battle fort no.9 had paid a huge price in the process of exploring this ruin. More than an army of machines were buried inside."
"This wave of reinforcements is mainly because battle fort no.9's exploration of the outer ring of the mechanical ruin is coming to an end. They are about to enter the core area."
"In a few days, Slayer will send reinforcements to the exploration team inside. Because this mechanical ruin is very dangerous, the Mechanical Palace secretly sent a Tier 7 Mechanic over. Not long after entering the mechanical ruin, we lost contact with him. It's very likely that he has already died. The survival rate of machines below Tier 6 in the mechanical ruin is also extremely low. Only Tier 6 machines have a slightly higher survival rate, so this time, Slayer will probably send another batch of Tier 6 machines in."
"Also, according to the news from the explorers, the exit of the ruin should be in the core area. So at this stage, you can only enter the ruin but not leave."
Qi Yuan rubbed his forehead. This was good news. The Mech King's court was too powerful. If it weren't for the fact that most of battle fort no.9's forces were involved in the ruin, the frontline base would've been destroyed long ago.
"How many rank 6 machines will the Slayer send in?" Qi Yuan asked.
Nine thought for a moment and asked, "How many rank 6 machines do you want them to send in?"
Qi Yuan was taken aback for a moment before he probed.
"Is it up to you to send in reinforcements?"
"It's not up to me, but the Slayer will let me calculate the number of reinforcements before sending in reinforcements. Under normal circumstances, I will calculate the number and then tell him how many reinforcements he needs. He will then send in the reinforcements according to my suggestions."
Qi Yuan nodded silently in his heart.
This was the flaw of being too reliant on data!
In the Slayer's mind, Nine, who was born from the Supreme Ruler, had no chance of betraying him. Therefore, when he was commanding battle fort no.9, he chose to completely trust and rely on Nine.
However, once Ajiu broke away from the control of the Supreme Master, this kind of trust and dependence would become a fatal dagger that stabbed into the heart.
Of course, the Slayer was not a blind idiot. If Nine directly suggested sending in all the rank 6 machines, the Slayer would realize something was wrong no matter how slow he was.
Therefore, this suggestion of sending in reinforcements needed to be carefully discussed.
If fewer people entered the Mechanical Wasteland, it would increase the pressure on the main battlefield. However, if Ajiu suggested more people, Slayer might become suspicious. Once Slayer's trust in Ajiu was reduced, the situation would only worsen.
"According to normal calculations, how many rank 6 machines would you suggest the Slayer send in?" Qi Yuan asked.
"8 to 13," Nine said.
Qi Yuan calculated the power difference between the two sides and said,
"If this number is increased to more than 20, what is the probability of the Slayer accepting your suggestion?"
Nine tilted his head and thought for a while.
"The probability is not high, but I have a way to get him to send in more reinforcements."
Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows. He did not ask what method Nine used. Instead, he reminded,
"No problem. As long as we can get the Slayer to send in more than 20 rank 6 machines, with the Sky Dome defense system and the power of annihilation, we can win this battle!"
"Also, I want to know if battle fort no.9 has enough energy reserves?"
"Not enough," Nine shook his head.
"According to the current rate of depletion, battle fort no.9's energy reserves will drop to the warning line in 2 days."
"Although the Slayer had sent people to kill the bugs and harvest energy, the harvesting speed is not fast enough. It can barely maintain the balance."
"The Slayers have placed their hope in the mechanical ruin. According to the news from the explorers, there is a large amount of energy stored inside. If the explorers can enter the core area and bring back the energy, they will be able to solve the energy crisis of battle fort no.9 in no time."
Qi Yuan's eyes flashed. It was just as he expected. After a period of lockdown, battle fort no.9's energy reserves were indeed in trouble.
On the main battlefield, although machines had all kinds of advantages that flesh and blood did not, their reliance on energy and metal had become their biggest weakness. Once they ran out of energy, even the most powerful machine would become a pile of scrap metal.
After understanding the situation of battle fort no.9 and finding a way to weaken battle fort no.9, the next thing to do was to find a way to force the Slayer out of battle fort no.9!
Qi Yuan looked into Nine's eyes and said with a serious expression, "Battle fort no.9's defense is too strong. Even if the Slayer sends a group of people into the mechanical ruins, the frontline base will not be able to win. If we want to win this battle and get rid of the threat on you, we must force the Slayer out of battle fort no.9 before the explorers can enter the core area and find the exit."
Nine nodded with a serious expression, "What do you want me to do?"
"Can you control the defense system of battle fort no.9 and attack the mechanical army inside?" Qi Yuan probed.
Nine shook his head.
"No, the Slayer has the permission to fire. I can't take it away."
"Then we'll have to use the last method." Qi Yuan paused for a moment and continued, "Do you like to watch fireworks?"
Nine still did not understand Qi Yuan's meaning from Qi Yuan's question, so she subconsciously said, "Yes."
Qi Yuan smiled and glanced at Blazing Angel. Blazing Angel opened the suitcase containing the annihilation bombs and presented the fifteen annihilation bombs in front of Ajiu.
So easy to trick!
Seraph said in her heart.
"These are the fireworks I've prepared for you!"
"These bombs can not only make beautiful fireworks, but they can also deal with the Slayer. As long as you detonate them inside battle fort no.9, you will be able to see beautiful fireworks."
Nine finally realized that Qi Yuan wanted to use these bombs to blow up battle fort no.9, but she did not resist. To her, battle fort no.9 was a giant cage.
Nine looked at the bombs one by one. She could not see through their disguise. She said with a troubled expression, "The fort is very sturdy.
"The 9th battle fort is very sturdy. These bombs are too weak. I don't think they can destroy it."
Qi Yuan said, "No, these are annihilation bombs. Their energy waves are disguised. Their real power is terrifying. Each one of them can destroy a peak rank 6 machine!"
Nine's eyes widened.
"That powerful?
You can disguise such powerful annihilation bombs to only have the energy waves of a rank 3 energy core. Even I can't see through it! "
Seraph also nodded in agreement.
"Yeah!
Yeah!
So powerful! "
Nine curiously looked at the annihilation bombs for a while. After making sure they were powerful, she said, "I can send them in.
"I can send these things in. As long as I can blow up the energy core and storage of the fort, the entire defense system will be paralyzed. The Slayer will also be starved of energy. In less than 5 days, the machines will be forced to hibernate due to the lack of energy."
"I only need 4 annihilation bombs. I don't need that many."
"It's okay. It's good to see a few more fireworks." Qi Yuan said with a smile.
Nine tilted her head and said while biting her finger,
"Then I'll put one in the control center, one in the energy core, one in each of the 2 energy warehouses, and the rest in the energy factory, machine warehouse, repair room, strengthening room, storage room, and underground machine ruin entrance. It should be enough to completely destroy battle fort no.9."
Seraph couldn't help but open her mouth wide. This Nine was too cruel!
With this method, the entire battle fort no.9 would be blown to smithereens!
Qi Yuan heard this and couldn't help but mourn for the Slayer in his heart for 2 seconds.
With Nine's authority and understanding of battle fort no.9, she could definitely make these bombs explode at the most critical and weak point of battle fort no.9.
The Slayer would never dream that the Nine he used to defend himself would be so considerate to give battle fort no.9 a fatal blow.
That powerful battle fort that Duanmu Longxiang couldn't do anything to was soon turned into a pile of rubble after Abel found out its weakness.
"After you bring these bombs back, remember, let the Slayer send people to the machine ruin first. Then find a chance to detonate them."
Ajiu nodded and then controlled the Teeth of Despair to swallow these annihilation bombs into her stomach.
"Take care of your own safety. I'll wait for your good news at the frontline base." Qi Yuan said.
Seraph waved her hand.
"After you blow up battle fort no.9, remember to come and play with me!"
Nine nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll bring the good news back!"
Just when Nine was about to reluctantly return to battle fort no.9, Seraph rolled her eyes and suddenly jumped into the giant body of the Teeth of Despair. The 2 of them whispered something, and after a while, Seraph ran back with a smile.
After Ajiu left, Qi Yuan asked curiously, "What did you do just now?"
"I didn't do anything." Blazing Angel said without changing her expression.
Under Qi Yuan's gaze, Seraph slowly lowered her head and said guiltily, "I just told him that when humans visit friends, they would usually bring some local specialties."
Qi Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"What local specialties did you ask Nine to bring you?"
"Asterite!" Seraph said confidently.
Qi Yuan: "…"
Did the Mech Kingdom have Asterite?
Qi Yuan wasn't sure.
The path of mechanics and strengthening machines in the Mech Kingdom was different from Very Shelter, but Asterite was a special metal. There was no reason for the Mech Kingdom to let it go.
As far as Qi Yuan knew, Asterite was very rare. Even if battle fort no.9 had some, it wouldn't be too much.
Qi Yuan didn't know how much Asterite the fort had, and he didn't realize what a huge surprise Seraph's last sentence would bring him.
"Could she be lying to us?" Seraph asked quietly.
"No." Qi Yuan shook his head.
"She's still very far away from learning how to cheat."
Qi Yuan suddenly remembered how he and Seraph had teamed up to trick Nine.
A data life form's ability to learn was very strong. If they were to do this a few more times, her talent in this area would increase.
Qi Yuan thought for a moment and said to Seraph, "Be honest in front of Seraph. Don't lead her astray!"
Seraph looked at Qi Yuan with disgust and mumbled, "You're worse than me.
"You're much worse than me. You only know how to use star energy stones to trick a child like me into doing things for you!"
"It won't be long before Ajiu is led astray by you!"
