Chapter 1532: Chapter 500: The Art of Throwing Lives Away
"Lord Fanmao, your warship repair yard... truly... those warships..."
As soon as the communication connected, Bai Yi heard Sisosās excited question.
In the projection, Sisos seemed to be leaning over, his hands supporting something, his eyes clearly filled with excitement.
His words were somewhat incoherent, making it hard to discern what he was actually saying, only his name and that respectful tone could be heard.
"Lord Sisos, please calm down for a moment.
If youāre talking about those three large warship docks, they are indeed my creations.
Itās just a method to rapidly restore warships using resources. Since I promised to restore our combat capabilities before the next war, I couldnāt go back on my word, could I?"
Bai Yi pretended as if it was a trivial matter, but Sisos didnāt quite see it that way.
It took a good ten seconds before Sisos managed to calm down, though his tone still carried excitement:
"Lord Fanmao, I must apologize for any embarrassment, but those three docks are truly overwhelming for us.
No, I should say they are overwhelming for all Mechanical Masters in the Starry Sky.
The ability to produce warships of such a caliber with this efficiency is almost unimaginable...
To achieve such efficiency surely canāt be accomplished just within a space of this size; it must be due to the special abilities you possess as a Lord, correct?
Even so, itās still terrifying...
Having this fleet gives us more confidence in our next battlefield..."
"The next battlefield? Has the task from the Three Great Civilizations come down already?"
Bai Yi didnāt respond to Sisosās speculation but skipped directly to his last statement.
But Sisos seemed to have understood and felt that he had found the truth, assuming Bai Yi implicitly confirmed his question.
Indeed, itās the special achievement only possible for Lord Fanmao as a Contractor of Paradise...
This makes sense; although Lord Fanmao is considered a Mechanical Master, he primarily focuses on the Life Series and his mechanical expertise isnāt very deep, so creating such advanced works seems unlikely...
Of course, he wouldnāt directly express such thoughts.
"Yes, just now, the Three Great Civilizations have given the next task, targeting a planet with a church of the [Longevity].
Heh, speaking of which, thatās precisely the church represented by the high-level strong person you nearly eliminated, Lord Fanmao.
Maybe this time, Lord Fanmao will have another chance to encounter them.
I plan to take a little more time to rest and move out tomorrow. Iāll send the detailed intelligence over shortly.
Ah, right, I was so excited I almost forgot.
This time Iām also here to settle the remaining payment for the potion..."
"My fleet will guide the transaction, so weāll meet again when the time comes to act."
After hanging up the communication with Sisos, Bai Yi quickly received the detailed intelligence from Sisos, including specific coordinates and data.
"Itās actually the church of [Longevity]...
Ah, ah, with the power of the Life Series, maybe this time there really will be some surprises...
When can the fleet be fully restored?"
Bai Yi swiftly read through Sisosās intelligence and then turned to ask the witch beside him.
She had just returned to the warship through the Teleportation Gate and hadnāt had a chance to catch up on the latest situation.
"Report, Your Highness. At the current rate, it will take about an hour to fully restore all the warships.
Our current warships are already mature models from within the territory, with ample manufacturing experience, and our Undead Clan colleagues are assembling the warships at a very rapid pace now.
The remaining materials have all been disassembled and sent back to the territory through the Teleportation Gates in those three disguised buildings."
"Not bad, we can expect other high-level strong persons to send more next. You all are responsible for handling them.
We can take this opportunity to slightly expand our fleet.
Even though itās beyond the number I can officially control right now, during wartime, the Three Great Civilizations probably wonāt interfere.
As long as the numbers are appropriate, after the war, we might even receive additional commendations from the Gemini Civilization and have them officially grant the corresponding establishment to me.
However, thereās no need to overly concern ourselves with this figure; during the next war, we can seize the opportunity to voluntarily sacrifice them and convert those warships into multiplied resources.
If we can manufacture, letās manufacture as quickly as we can. Itās best to wash all the acquired resources clean and bring them back..."
These metal materials, after all, are destined for the Insect Clan, and must disappear rationally.
Previously, she could use the excuse of bringing out her fleet and territory construction to cover the metal materials.
But that was because the quantity she obtained was relatively reasonable, and the Three Great Civilizations couldnāt clearly determine how much metal she acquired.
From the perspective of the Three Great Civilizations, she managed to deploy a fleet easily, indicating some reserve strength, and the continued development report from Academy Star reaffirmed her territoryās good growth.
By deducing from these two points, itās assumed that all resources were put into territorial construction, which is why nothing seemed unusual.
Now, not to mention the transparency in the resource quantity she captured before the Three Great Civilizations, the sheer magnitude of resources gained by sacrificing the fleet was already too immense.
