Chapter 374: The Trial Card is Expiring!

"For the Old Legion, Shanyin Cruise Ships are merely units that exist in concept; not a single one has actually been produced."

"It is truly unbelievable that this Artifact created by the God of Pleasure can actually produce it, even if it costs so many Resource Points."

Fen Yege stood beside Yun Mu, his expression looking slightly surprised as he spoke.

"Huh? Does the Old Legion in the real world not have Shanyin Cruise Ships?" Hearing His words, Yun Mu was somewhat surprised.

Meanwhile, Brenna at the side revealed a look of sudden realization at this moment.

"So that's it. I was wondering earlier why one could only see the silhouettes of Flash Silver Fighters in the sky."

"So, do you have enough Resource Points?" Fen Yege turned to look at Yun Mu and asked.

"Well, I have enough money to produce one." Yun Mu roughly calculated; the Federation had previously provided her with nearly 120,000 Resource Points.

Afterward, she relied on recycling the mechanical bodies of the Old Legion, as well as those bones that had spread out, to earn about 60,000 in total.

Although she spent quite a bit along the way, considering there were still many bones left in the city, she could count it as 180,000 Resource Points for now.

As for the final 20,000, it would be enough to just have the Mining Vehicles make a few more trips transporting bones.

In any case, the remaining few locations of the God Bone were going to take a few days to exhaust anyway.

"What did the Federation say?" Yun Mu asked Airui Laya, who had returned not long ago.

It was mentioned earlier that to retrieve those God Bones, one needed to take the Federation's Magic Train along the way; the Magic problem was easy to solve, as it was Fen Yege who had cut off the Magic supply in the first place, so one only needed to have Him open the power supply lines at the station.

The problem was that as a transportation hub for communicating with the outside world and transporting supplies, the Magic Train station had been blown up by the Old Legion at the very first opportunity.

Yun Mu had scouted it; the tracks were barely usable, but the train had already been completely destroyed.

So she had asked Airui Laya to go to the Federation and ask if there were any spare trains or anything else that could be used.

As for their purpose? That was not important.

As a Legendary-level Transcendental, whatever Airui Laya wanted to do had nothing to do with the Federation, and the other side obviously could not refuse.

Especially in front of a kin of Pleasure.

"That Crocodile Scale Species councilor first asked about my purpose; he seemed to suspect that we wanted to take the train to escape, but I told him that this was absolutely impossible, so he generously lent us two old-model Magic Train locomotives," Airui Laya said concisely.

The truth was certainly not as simple as she described, or rather, for Airui Laya, the truth was exactly as she had stated, but it did not matter; Yun Mu had no intention of understanding the detailed process, as long as the current problem could be solved.

"When can the train depart?" she asked.

"At the earliest this afternoon, if it's slower, it should be by evening," Airui Laya told her the time the Crocodile Scale Species councilor had mentioned.

Can it be solved today? That is actually a bit faster than expected.

"Then what about the other matter?"

To resurrect the Beast God, one must first collect the God Bones, yet even if the God Bones were collected, those guys from the Beast God Cult might not necessarily know how to use them.

Therefore, according to Fen Yege's words, they needed to apply a bit more pressure on the guys from the Beast God Cult.

It would be best to make them have no time to consider the matter of the God Bones at all, or to a degree where even if they had concerns, it would be useless.

"No problem, that Crocodile Scale Species councilor already intended to clear out that Spine summoned by the Beast God Cult."

"Mm, that way all the prerequisites are prepared." Yun Mu nodded with satisfaction, and after confirming there were no loopholes, she looked at everyone in the combat command room.

"Then according to the plan, let's begin!"

Although she pretended to be very imposing while declaring the start of the plan, in reality, there was nothing Yun Mu and the others could do at the moment.

The Shanyin Cruise Ship had to wait for the Mining Vehicles to transport bones into the Ore Refinery one by one, and could only be produced after there were enough Resource Points.

And the two Magic Train locomotives from the Federation would not arrive until this afternoon at the earliest.

Currently, the only thing that could act was the God Bone in the west of the map; Yun Mu dispatched a total of forty executors, six Flash Silver Tanks, two Armed Helicopters, plus six Transport Vehicles, driving along the road toward the location of the God Bone.

Looking at the map, the first day's journey should be relatively smooth, and after the second day, there would basically only be dirt roads left.

Finally, they would have to pass through a stretch of rugged mountain roads to reach the location of the God Bone.

Counting the time for excavation and transportation back, it would be just about five days, and at the latest, no more than six days.

And because the Old Legion's attention was on the Spine summoned by the Beast God Cult, the mechanical squad dispatched by Yun Mu left Feiluoka very smoothly.

As long as they did not approach the Federation's border, they should be safe.

Yun Mu had heard from Fen Yege that the Old Legion had deployed most of their high-level mechanical bodies and troops at various entrances and exits of the border, and even in those desolate wild areas, there were some aerial units and tanks patrolling back and forth.

The Federation was so large that wanting to completely blockade it was certainly unrealistic, but as long as they could intercept 95 percent of the people, for the Purge, there would be no problem.

Fortunately, no God Bone was buried outside the border; even the farthest one was just close to the edge of the boundary.

It is said that the Federation's border was not this large before, and it was only expanded here due to the influence of Fen Yege.

Yun Mu could roughly guess His idea: if this place was also incorporated into the Federation's territory, the influence range of the Magic Fountain could be extended to cover it.

And only on land where Ether Information is thin would the erosion ability of the God Bone be restricted; watching the monitoring perspective of the Armed Helicopter on the screen in a daze, Yun Mu suddenly smelled a somewhat familiar tea fragrance.

Click.

A cup of black tea was slowly placed on the desktop in front of Yun Mu; she looked back and saw Elena, who had not been resurrected for long, looking at her with a full face of smiles.

"Perhaps you could rest for a while," Elena said, looking at the screen in front.

"No," Yun Mu had wanted to refuse, but after noticing the other's concerned gaze, she changed her mind: "In a little while, at least not now."

The mechanical squad had not left Feiluoka too far, and there was a probability of encountering Old Legion mechanical bodies.

She could not let her guard down yet.

This was also the reason why she had been sitting here staring at the screen.

"Alright, take care not to be too exhausted," Elena saw this and did not continue to persuade her.

The two chatted idly, and then the topic actually veered onto Brenna.

And in the topics related to Brenna, some of their views and thoughts were surprisingly consistent, which made the two of them laugh tacitly.

Time passed quickly in the idle chat, and when Yun Mu drank the however-many-th cup of black tea, the Federation finally sent over the two old Magic Train locomotives. The time was 5:00 PM, which was about the same as what had been agreed upon earlier.

Yun Mu dispatched executors to receive them and then escorted them to the station.

There was a team of maintenance workers here; they had already repaired the station's track system before the Federation people delivered the Magic Trains.

As long as the Magic Train is placed on it, it can run at any time.

But before that, there is still one problem that needs to be solved.

That is the issue of whether the Magic Train will be attacked by the Old Legion after it starts moving; unlike the mechanical squads that left along the highway earlier, although the Magic Train's movements are not large, in terms of its ability to be conspicuous... at least it is not that hard to be discovered.

To make it drive out smoothly, some small tricks are still needed.

【Rift Generator (Advanced): Centered on itself, it creates a Black Curtain that cannot be detected. The range of the Black Curtain is a minimum of 10 meters and a maximum of 150 meters.】

【Black Curtain: Blocks all perception and detection from outside the range. When people's gazes look toward this place, they will only see scenes they consider perfectly normal.】

This is, of course, not some psychic Black Technology; in fact, this thing is just a hallucination generator.

It automatically generates a circle of hallucinations based on the surrounding environment, and it cannot be seen through by the enemy's Radar.

It is said that this thing is also a conceptual product within the Old Legion, though the production cost is not as outrageous as the Shanyin Cruise Ship.

Building one only costs 1,500 Resource Points.

If one had to name the biggest drawback of this thing, it is that within the range of the Black Curtain, those hallucinations are completely useless.

After all, when you release hallucinations, you can't very well end up affecting the friendly forces within the range as well.

That would truly be failing to distinguish between friend and foe.

Yun Mu had the maintenance worker build the 【Rift Generator】 in the carriage behind the Magic Train, then set the range of the Black Curtain to 50 meters.

This way, there would be no problem.

As the Magic Train moves, the coverage area of the Black Curtain will also change.

This means the Rift Generator must constantly change the parameters of the hallucinations, and there will inevitably be some flaws exposed midway, but this is still better than doing nothing.

Moreover, unless one stares at it constantly, those anomalies are not that easy to be discovered.

Watching the Magic Train slowly drive out of Feiluoka after starting, and seeing that no Old Legion mechanical units noticed any anomalies, Yun Mu finally let out a slow sigh of relief.

"Hoo."

Once the tightly wound spirit relaxes, one feels exhausted; Yun Mu let out a slow breath, rose from the command chair, and walked toward the lounge.

"I'm a bit tired, I want to rest for a while, hmm..."

She looked at the Resource Points in the top right corner of the screen and instructed Elena: "Remember to call me when the Resource Points reach 200,000."

"Haa~"

Yawning with some sleepiness, Yun Mu turned and left the command room.

At the same time in Feiluoka, beside the spine summoned by the Beast God Cult.

"How is the situation?" The Bishop, draped in a blood-red robe, held the Scarlet spine scepter, looked up at the tall spine overhead, and asked the Priest behind him without turning his head.

His voice sounded very hoarse, as if his vocal cords had completely degenerated; the one speaking did not seem to be a human, but some kind of monster wearing human skin.

Hearing his words, the young High Priest subconsciously shivered and answered honestly: "The sacrificial process is going smoothly, but our number of Believers is not quite enough."

To put it bluntly, ordinary Believers are just a bunch of consumables; even if they die, they are only contributing to the Resurrection of their deity.

But the problem is, if the number of Believers is exhausted, who will stop those mechanical units outside?

"How many ordinary Believers are left?" The Bishop slowly turned around, revealing his cheeks which looked as if they had been soaked in sulfuric acid.

"This..." The illiterate High Priest who hadn't even graduated from middle school was slightly stunned: "Less than... three thousand?"

"..." The Bishop of the Beast God Cult suddenly felt a bit nostalgic for the previous High Priest; although that guy was not very obedient and always had his own ideas.

But at least, that person had a high school diploma.

He wouldn't be like this guy in front of him, having to think for half a day even for such a simple question.

And the answer wasn't necessarily accurate! If he said three thousand, then he would tentatively count it as two thousand... because the summoned deity spine could also defend against attacks, plus the various divine arts cast by the Priests.

Holding out for a week should be no problem.

But dragging it out like this is not a solution; he must find a way to break through.

Hmm... counting the batch of flesh and blood absorbed when the deity spine was just summoned earlier, plus the dead Believers.

Sacrificing another five hundred people should be enough... The Bishop's eyes flashed with a cruel glint, and his cold, gloomy gaze landed on the young High Priest, making the other party become even more awestruck.

He turned and walked to the Scarlet spine, gently stroking the bones on the spine with his hand, muttering something in his mouth as if he were talking to the spine.

Seeing this scene, the young High Priest suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and thinking of what the previous High Priest had told him, he suddenly became a bit afraid.

Come to think of it, his predecessor was the one assigned to attack the Council Building.

It had been several days and he still hadn't returned; he was likely dead.

The Bishop in front of him... it was said that this guy had been serving as Bishop since the founding of the Beast God Cult, and the position had never changed hands to this day.

He had no chance even if he wanted to wait until he could take the position.

And if he couldn't become the Bishop, the final result would likely be the same as his predecessor: sent to execute some suicide mission, and then never having the chance to return. How pathetic; whether it was those Believers or he himself as the High Priest, they were all just dispensable consumables in that man's eyes.

He actually knew these things when he joined the Beast God Cult, and he believed most Believers were the same as him.

It was just that not everyone had the ability to refuse this 'gift', or perhaps, they were just lured here by the greed stirred up in their hearts for a moment.

Suddenly, a bold idea arose in the young High Priest's mind.

Since the other party could sit in the Bishop's position, why couldn't he?

As long as he planned it well, it might not be impossible to replace him. (End of chapter)
