King-class puppet!
Lu Yu now deliberately avoids thinking about the existence of these puppets.
Once they appear, the dead puppets will no longer remain a secret.
Perhaps by then, this city will become a target of contention and covetous eyes from various factions, and may even draw the attention of the divine spokesperson.
But now, he couldn’t afford to worry about that anymore.
This city must be defended at all costs.
This is something of great importance to him, and he will stop at nothing to protect it.
At least before the first wave of the apocalypse begins, this city must not fall apart. It has to hold on.
Now that various organizations desire the Star Artifacts, it remains to be seen how many King-level puppets they are prepared to deploy.
“How many king-level puppets will be deployed?” The British military major general slightly frowned and asked, “Mr. Lu, what exactly do you mean by that?”
“Refining star artifacts is not something that can be done in a day or two. Let me know how many king-level puppets you’re planning to use, then I can determine how many star artifacts need to be refined.”
British Major General, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and said, “Let’s join forces and prepare to deploy twenty King-level puppets. I think this number should suffice for now.”
This signifies that Lu Yu was no longer restricting the quantity of refining.
As long as they provided the star artifacts, Lu Yu was ready to refine them endlessly.
“Twenty star-grade weapons?” Lu Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.
At the current speed, it might take a whole year.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then clenched his teeth and said, “However, you should all know that once we do this, the secret of the corpse puppets will no longer remain hidden. Are you certain that you can defend the city if someone sets their sights on it?”
The British major general said solemnly, “You’re right. Once that happens, the corpse puppet will no longer be a secret. However, we also understand the importance of this artifact. Therefore, if a king-tier puppet appears, we will definitely hold this city to the death and never allow anyone to get close to the corpse puppet, because if this item falls into enemy hands, it will become a threat to us.”
Lu Yu nodded and said, “Great, then I have no issues.”
“Good, that’s excellent. Next, we’ll go prepare the materials and make sure they are delivered within three days,” the British brigadier general said repeatedly in agreement.
As long as they have a large number of star artifacts, they will have a chance to successfully defend against the tidal wave of the apocalypse.
Many organizations are likely to welcome this news.
They had always hoped that Lu Yu could refine more star artifacts, and now it has come true.
Lu Yu said goodbye to the British brigadier and immediately went to find Kun.
Kun seemed to have sensed it beforehand. Seeing Lu Yu approach him, he asked seriously, “Are you ready to reveal Fanggang’s true combat strength to the world?”
Lu Yu said, “Even if we aren’t fully prepared now, we no longer have the luxury of time.”
Kun nodded and said, “Since you’re determined to do this, then let’s begin. These many years, I haven’t merely been refining my skills—I’ve also been practicing control, all for this moment. Let’s see whether this city can create a miracle and survive the apocalypse tide!”
Lu Yu cannot spend an entire year crafting star artifacts, as there is no time to spare.
It’s impossible for one person to refine dozens of star weapons; there’s simply not enough time. Of course, this approach wouldn’t work either.
How about Kun, who possesses the techniques of refining soldiers and attracting stars, having ten or a hundred of them?
A long time ago, Lu Yu and Kun had already discussed the issue of star artifacts.
Once an unexpected situation arises at Fanggang and a large number of star artifacts are needed, one person’s crafting alone won’t be able to keep up with the timeline.
In order to refine more star artifacts simultaneously, more people possessing the Art of Forging Weapons and the Star-Invoking Technique will be required.
None of these can be found in a short period of time.
Moreover, cultivating a top-level expert in military training is no easy task.
They also don’t have that much time and money to cultivate warriors.
However, it can be cloned using dead puppets.
Lu Yu opened several rooms located on the second floor of the Core Region’s tavern. Inside, there were fifty puppets created from Kun’s blood.
They acted with Kun’s consciousness.
As long as the refining schedules are staggered, Kun can simultaneously control these fifty individuals to refine different star artifacts.
Now Lu Yu led twenty puppets out of the room and found Kun.
Kun started controlling twenty people performing different movements, and he also needed time to get familiar with it.
After all, cultivating a star artifact simultaneously is no small feat.
In a moment of carelessness, the materials could be ruined.
In these days, the British military, the American military, the Celestial Organization, and several other groups have successively sent people to come.
At the same time they delivered the materials, they also identified the controller of the King-level puppet.
The Celestial Deities Organization has formed an alliance with the Chinese military. The military is now supplying King’s Blood, and both the Celestial Deities Organization and the military are searching for the Controller simultaneously.
All parties immediately began gathering the materials for the star artifacts. The first batch delivered into Lu Yu’s hands consisted of twenty sets.
When they saw Kun and the twenty puppets, they understood immediately.
At the same time, everyone was overjoyed and extremely excited.
If we start working on it like this, twenty starcrafts can be completed in just one month.
The Wang’s blood used by everyone also belongs to the Heaven Swallowing King, the Storm King, and the Golden King.
The controllers of these puppets are all elite members loyal to their respective organizations, carefully cultivated and evaluated over the years since the organizations obtained the dead puppets.
Their loyalty is beyond doubt.
Their existence was solely for the purpose of controlling the King-class puppet on this day.
However, creating King-tier puppets takes time; fifteen puppets can be created in a month.
The defense of Fanggang cannot be interrupted during this period.
After granting several people the authority to enter the core area, Lu Yu returned to the city wall of the second domain.
In the core areas, these individuals are guarded by the Undying King, ensuring they don’t cause chaos within the core regions.
Beyond the city walls, the black mist still lingered without any sign of fading.
People could only launch attacks through the light shield. Each time the city wall was struck, a crack would appear on it.
Eleven king-level puppets, along with attacks from Tian Wang and others, could no longer suppress the black mist.
To them in the city, humans had become a pack of trapped beasts.
Lu Yu looked toward the city’s outskirts, then at the eleven king-level puppets, clenched his fists tightly, and coldly said, “Since we’re ready to use them, there’s no need to wait any longer. Anyone who dares to challenge us can come and try to take them.”
Lu Yu is the controller of these King-level puppets, and now he has issued an order.
No longer hiding – activate the King’s skill.
Boom——
The puppet of the Stone City’s ruler, at the foot of the city wall, stirred. His hands suddenly clenched violently in midair.
Boom… Boom…
The black mist outside the domain let out an explosion.
Beasts were roaring, and flames erupted one after another within the black mist.
Each explosion blasted the black mist into pieces within a radius of hundreds of meters.
Tongues of flame spewed out from the epicenter of the explosion, igniting the black mist they touched, causing it to explode instantly.
Each explosion sent out waves of flames, which then spread further.
It was just like the butterfly effect, spreading the black mist with a diameter of thousands of zhang in less than a minute.
A black tiger stood in the center of the dark mist, glaring angrily at the puppet and roaring fiercely.
Boom—boom—boom—
The thunder began to rumble in the sky.
Ten king-level puppet warriors clad in armor surged into the sky.
Their armor disintegrated piece by piece, and the black robes on their bodies also fell to the ground.
They revealed the same expression and emitted the same aura.
Endless bolts of lightning coiled around their bodies.
The warriors in the city were stunned.
“What is this? How is it possible to have ten kings who are exactly the same?”
People cried out in alarm.
After looking at the ten Kings, the Heaven Swallowing King and others shouted in unison: “Thunder King!”
That’s right.
Standing before them was King Thunder.
They saw the King in a city when they were destroying the beast crystals.
One appears, and they will not be surprised.
They would think that the Thunder King has arrived.
But the sudden appearance of ten Thunder Kings at once was definitely not right.
Breath, appearance, exactly the same.
This is just like duplication, yes, exactly duplication.
All the kings suddenly recalled that Lu Yu had once taken their royal blood, and that the Celestial Organization had also asked for their royal blood in recent days.
They are replicating, mass-producing warrior-level beings.
Boom—
The thunder seemed furious, with dark clouds rolling across the sky, pressing down heavily as if they were about to fall onto the earth.
Massive lightning serpents, each as thick as a water bucket, surged down from the clouds, striking the earth with a deafening roar.
The thunderous serpent plunged into the dark mist, piercing through it.
Then, in an instant, from within the dark clouds in the sky, millions of lightning snakes appeared all at once, and then they struck down toward the earth.
The ten kings simultaneously unleashed their royal skills.
Five thousand zhang of black mist were completely enveloped within the thunderous lightning.
The explosion from the City Lord of Stone City and the trillions of thunderbolts crashing down transformed the area beyond the domain into a vast sea of lightning.
The beast howled within the black mist; all five clusters of dark fog had completely enveloped the雷海 (Sea of Thunder).
Dark clouds rumbled with continuous thunder, and in just one strike, the black mist was completely dispersed. Five beast kings stood within the dissipating mist, glaring fiercely at Fanggang.
The next moment, they personally charged towards the defensive port and collided with it.
But their attacks didn’t even have the power to make Fanggang City tremble.
“Alright!”
The soldiers had no time to wonder how it was possible that ten identical kings appeared in the sky.
What they saw was lightning destroying the black mist.
Although the black mist did not disappear, it was merely scattered.
However, the collaboration of these eleven kings brings them hope.
Xue Ji also joined the fray, leaping directly into the sea of lightning and charging toward the giant serpent.
Heaven Swallowing King, Storm King, and Golden King also joined the battle, leaping directly into the sea of lightning to confront another king alone.
The black mist couldn’t condense, and thus posed no threat to them at all.
Hum.
In Fanggang City, another king’s aura spreads once again.
“I’m coming, hahaha!” Blade Armor King laughed loudly as he rushed out of his domain, launching a deadly charge toward the last Beast King.
One-on-one, they fear no one.
The puppet of the Stone City’s ruler also leaped out to assist Xue Ji in subduing the giant serpent.
Lu Yu stood on the city wall, his gaze cold as he looked out over the battlefield. He was controlling eleven puppets.
“We have shattered even the Five Death Mists, so what else is there to fear!”
“We did it!” the warriors in the city cheered.
A Beast King without the shroud of black mist is nothing at all.
With the combined forces of many kings, they emerged victorious in this battle once again.
At this moment, Liu Xing ran over, his face pale as he said, “Mr. Lu, something’s wrong—the city is in danger.”
Lu Yu turned to Liu Xing with a puzzled look and asked, “Why is it dangerous?”
Liu Xing panted, “The Chinese military and Si Jiucheng have made contact via teleportation. Through satellites, they received news that about seventeen clusters of black mist are approaching us from land and sea thousands of miles away from Fanggang City. They should arrive in about three days. Moreover, in the distance beyond that, massive amounts of black mist are gathering. A colossal black mist with a diameter of ten thousand zhang is also heading toward our city!”
“What!”
Lu Yu’s face also changed expression.
This is definitely not good news.
Seventeen black mist formations, which might transform into a vast black veil, completely engulfing Fanggang. At that time, would Fanggang City’s defenses be sufficient?
Moreover, there was also a mass of black mist with a diameter of ten thousand zhang, indicating that ten more beast kings were approaching.
Lu Yu gritted his teeth, took out a crystal from his storage space, and threw it to Liu Xing, saying, “Give this to the Chinese military. Tell them that after they kill the Beast King, they must return one to me.”
Liu Xing took the crystal, and after glancing at its attributes, his expression immediately changed.
