Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 899: The Battle for Star Overlord III
Xia Xiu continued without changing his tone:

"In addition, the 3.5-generation aircraft is planned to be recast simultaneously."

He paused and raised his eyes slightly from the table.

"The two machines recovered from the ruins in the courtyard were more severely damaged than the God-given Colossus."

"The core chimeric layer is misaligned, the bone-bearing rings are broken, and the neural cables are shattered to the original structural source."

The tactical projection then showed the internal structure of two damaged 3.5-generation aircraft. The blood-red damage marks occupied more than % of the aircraft structure diagram. The ancient buildings on it had almost collapsed, and the severity of the collapse was even not inferior to the fortress that was destroyed on the battlefield.

“So we have to use external technical forces.”

"The Mechanical Saints will be involved in the repair process, in conjunction with the Mole Science Society."

“According to the old agreement, [Western] will be returned to the Orthodox Church as a bargaining chip for cooperation, and will be seen as a demonstration of mutual trust in the cooperation between the courtyard and the church.”

"At the same time, the restoration engineering data of the recovered Cardinal Zero, along with the high-energy joint replica drawings, structural rhythm records, and skeletal template models of another 3.5-generation machine [Azligon], will also be shared with the Orthodox Church."

"In addition, the first two levels of copies of the remaining mechanical divine arts technology excavated from the T-12 ruins will also be included in the Orthodox Church's main memory bank."

These were the conditions agreed upon between Xia Xiu and the Mechanical Saint. They were not working in the courtyard for free.

What's more, Yuanting made a lot of money from this cooperation. At least Xia Xiu got a fourth-generation aircraft while eating and taking it away.

The initial restoration project was led by the Mole Science Society.

They are responsible for building the initial psychic neural guidance framework, fault neural cable bridges and skeletal stabilization nodes to reconstruct the initial level of control authority of this super-specification body.

But that’s only part of it.

Truly complex central authority coordination systems, divine pulse harmonization arrays, and machine soul repair work must all be completed by higher-level technical organizations.

That is the base camp of the courtyard located in the depth 5 strategic enclave: [Odepapadopoulos Enclave].

In the enclave, the Essex Fortress Dockyard, the most industrially significant ship-borne base in the courtyard's exclusive engineering sequence, is located here.

This dock was originally one of the deepest scientific research structures of the Heavenly Kingdom Alchemy Engineering Department.

During the Ivy League War, with the approval of the resolution meeting, it was relocated as a whole to the [Odepapadopoulos Enclave] in order to maintain the deep construction capabilities of high-level strategic materials and the Holy Machine of Gospel.

Only Essex could undertake the full-scale restoration of Cardinal Zero.

Only there were the blueprints and keel structures of courtyard-class main flagships such as the Sword of Glory successfully built.

Because it not only has a fortress dock, but also a panda network that advances the courtyard technology tree.

The reason why Xia Xiu was able to support himself through war was, on the one hand, due to the transfusion from the eight major abnormal capitals, and on the other hand, due to Panda Network's almost barbaric ability to digest and deduce technology.

If Turanas is the strategic support point of the courtyard at depth 60·Astral Realm, then the [Odepapadopolis Enclave] is the core flesh and blood pillar of the entire courtyard's military-industrial system.

“Will the Orthodox Church continue to participate in the war?”

This question is asked once a week.

The question wasn’t long, but it hit the point of the answer that everyone in the meeting was really waiting for.

Whether to enter the battlefield or watch from the sidelines, whether to actively contribute or take the opportunity to infiltrate, this will determine the balance of the entire war.

Xia Xiu nodded slightly and did not avoid it.

"I asked, and the Mechanical Saint only gave one answer."

He raised his eyes and scanned the whole audience, then relayed that sentence:

"They won't be directly on the front lines afterwards, but they will be 'present'."

“Those are the words of St. Bumarou.”

The next second, Pansy Jane took over the conversation.

"What they want is nothing more than to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then they will benefit."

Xia Xiu listened and said that he didn't care. After all, he didn't really think that the people from the church would risk their lives for him in this war.

The fact that they didn't turn around and attack Ohm Messiah was already a huge help.

"Let them be."

"The main force of the battlefield is the courtyard."

"However, the Church promised to deliver two of the three major blueprints - the Folding Fleet and the Iron Wall Support Chamber. In terms of strategic structure, we can obtain their part of the industrial and transportation support."

"As for the rest of the details, as long as they don't interfere with our route of advancement and resource collection, let them settle their own accounts."

"If they can get something... let them get it."

He has taken the fourth-generation machine in front of the Mechanical Saint. Now that the meat has been eaten, he should at least give him some soup.

At this time, Camille Schifani then whispered about another force that needed attention.

"The gods of the Golden Court also seem to have chosen to continue to stand aside and watch."

"The attitude is vague and they tend to wait and see. No god has spoken publicly."

"It seems that they have made up their minds not to interfere in this interstellar war."

Xia Xiu nodded. Not intervening in this troublemaker's affairs would be his greatest contribution to the war.

"The royal court, which respects faith, will of course be happy to see the demise of the Soul Sucker Empire."

"What they hate is depravity and defilement. We have cleansed them, and they are so happy."

After confirming the movements of multiple parties, the next person to report on is the staffing situation in the courtyard.

A small, doll-sized figure silently rose from the seat.

The doll is naturally Hope. Her figure is still small and her appearance almost maintains the fixed proportions of a doll.

This Little Mister series body, miraculously created by Dr. Wendtinment, also contains the existence of the supreme divine will from Jupiter. It is the most dangerous existence on the field except for the Lord of the Courtyard.

Of course, she is also the most lively one.

"It's my turn, it's my turn."

Hope, the admissions director, put his hands on his hips and said with a serious look:
"I have used my abilities to search for the third batch of children in the courtyard in advance. According to the current recycling and screening process, this round can be stably received..."

"Two thousand units."

The recruitment of the Children of the Courtyard has always been controlled by Hope, because her ability can cross the boundaries of the ether and spread the light of "hope" wherever there are humans.

Looking at the proud hope, Xia Xiu smiled and affirmed the other party's achievements.

"here you go."

Then, he said:
"This batch of Phase III Sons of the Courtyard will be under the unified command of the First Legion, that is, the Blood Oath Legion system."

"Once they return, the Blood Oath Legion will add another 2,000 units, and the First Legion will enter a temporary full strength stage."

"In other words, the First Army has completed its establishment of 3,000 people and entered the wartime independent full-sequence operation mode."

He paused, and there was a hint of sharpness in his smile:

"Courtyard...it's time to start thinking about constructing the second set of 'Holy Casting Templates'."

"The design, arrangement, formulation, and deployment of the Second Legion... I will come up with a specific plan at that time."

"I hope that you will continue to use your abilities to travel to more areas - to screen, collect, and awaken."

Hope waved her little fist and assured the Lord of the Courtyard:
"give it to me."

At this point, after the conversation with the admissions director, the meeting is in its final stages. The strategy has been clarified, the resources have been allocated, and the deployment has been finalized.

There is only one thing left;

implement!

Xia Xiu sat at the head of the group, his eyes slightly shifted to the left wing.

Sitting there was the Blade and Fist of the Courtyard, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, Broly; then, his eyes swept lightly to the right, where the four shadows had been sitting silently, the four special operators quietly waiting for new instructions.

Xia Xiu spoke slowly, his voice was even, but it was enough to overwhelm the last echoes in the entire hall:

"Broly."

"This time, you will lead the imperial guards and follow me deep into the battlefield."

Broly simply replied, "Understood."

Xia Xiu didn't say much, he knew his old friend's character very well.

Next, he turned his gaze towards the special operators.

"You four will be synchronized into the main axis of action from now on."

"You will each lead your task force and be incorporated into this round of advancement as a direct action group."

"Vanguard, raid, infiltration, suppression, you will cooperate with the Imperial Guards in different ways."

"The action nodes are issued by me personally."

"Yes!" The four special operators also answered directly and clearly.

At this moment, the two armed forces dispatched by Xia Xiu were both direct combat organizations under his power system.

The first is the imperial guards.

As the standing private armed force of the lord of the courtyard, this force's declared duty is to maintain public security and internal stability in the core areas of the courtyard.

Nominally it belonged to the "courtyard affairs", but in fact it was under the command of Hugh Abraham alone.

Its action scheduling, resource mobilization, and armed expansion are only subject to the command of the Lord of the Courtyard.

They were the imperial guards personally selected, cast and named by the Lord of the Courtyard.

They are essentially the sharp swords forged by Xia Xiu.

The second is the Mobile Task Force, which is composed of four "special operators" each leading an independent group.

This unit does not belong to the conventional system of the courtyard. Its organizational authority, intelligence domain contact, and command frequency band are not within the courtyard military platform, but are connected to the higher-level structure of the Kingdom of Heaven:
Burial agency.

Every formal or reserve decision-maker can form an "independent armed force directly under the decision-maker's jurisdiction" without the need for "assembly deliberation".

This unit does not belong to the collective command system and is not included in the regular military organization. Its only loyalty is to the individual who made the decision.

Originally, this authority was strictly limited by staffing, armed force size and cross-domain dispatch levels.

But everything changed when the Ivy League Wars broke out.

At this moment, Xia Xiu’s identity is not single.

He is not only the reserve decision-maker of Heaven, but also the only agent of Heaven in the Ivy League War, the supreme commander of the Honkai Administration, and the founder and principal of the Mortal Courtyard.

The superposition of these three identities constitutes an unprecedented special institutional state.

Hugh Abraham's authority was infinitely magnified by Eden.

Eden System, in order to maintain the stable operation of the Ivy Region Honkai Management Bureau,
In certain high-level permission execution processes, permission mapping amplification is allowed by default.

Therefore, Xia Xiu, who originally only had the authority to dispatch "one burial team", is now still nominally "one team".

In reality, however, they do have six completely independent Mobile Task Forces mobilized and operating.

These task forces, which all belong to the same index number in Eden's dispatch system, are technically still extension modules of the "single tactical group", but in terms of structure, mission configuration, and action organization, they have long been differentiated into six multi-purpose strike units with independent command sequences.

It is in this gray area of ​​tacit authority that the direct task force system he established is growing and expanding rapidly, and its influence has also expanded from tactical units to the factional structure of the entire Honkai Administration.

The original functional department structure within the Honkai Administration is being reorganized and integrated around these six task forces.
The emerging power ecology is reshaping resource allocation, personnel appointments and command priorities with "Hugh Abraham" as the core axis.

The expansion of this system was not achieved through laws or institutions, but through action - through victory, through the undeniable results of war.

Xia Xiu had a hunch that after the astral war was over, he would begin to truly touch the...core of power of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Many eyes inside the Kingdom of Heaven are looking here.

Not looking towards the courtyard, not looking towards the Honkai Administration.

But looked towards him.

The fourth sword bearer.

He drew his sword in the name of Heaven and sent out his troops under the banner of the Courtyard, beheading enemy kingpins, recovering the Godforge, and sweeping across every line of defense on the Astral Front.

However, the factions within Heaven no longer view this as just a victory.

What they saw was a "sword bearer" who was using war as a path to enter the inner court of the central power of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Xia Xiu was clearly aware that when this interstellar war finally came to an end, when the battle flag of the courtyard was inserted into the main ring of Hebria, the true level of order obscured by the heavens would no longer exclude him.

He will take the initiative... and inevitably walk into that door.

That is the true heart of Heaven.

He will truly face the programmatic issues of the Kingdom of Heaven that have long been buried deep at the bottom of the order hierarchy.

That is the gathering of all power divisions and ideological cracks under the utopian mechanism.

He will have to navigate through it all and face those complex problems.

He will face the Thirteen Knights, which are the symbolic structure of the Heavenly Armed Order. Behind each Knightly Order, there is a representative of the will of a faction.

He will face the six chief judges of the Tribunal, who only care about whether this war is in the supreme interests of mankind. They symbolize the purest human race ideology of the Kingdom of Heaven. Their silence means tolerance, and their speech is the starting point of divine punishment.

He will face the Burial Agency, which is not only Heaven's external anomaly containment unit, but also a double-edged sword for internal cleansing.

He will face the Ethics Committee, which is not part of any armed or adjudicative structure but has the power to put an end to any "transgression in the human sense."

He will face the highest core body of Heaven, the thirteen members of the Decision Council; they set the rules, finalize the battle orders, and freeze the records.

Every change and every shift in the main structure must be approved by a silent vote of these thirteen people.

They never show up, but they are never absent.

And... the central containment chamber.

A place that is not even in the power structure of the Kingdom of Heaven, but is hidden in the deepest part of the entire system's logic.

It contains several entities defined as [Crisis Sequence].

Some are failed experiments in heaven.

Some are sheltered gods.

Some of them were once the decision makers themselves.

And some more - no one knows.

All of this was waiting for Xia Xiu.

What he has to do now is to seize the fruits of victory in this interstellar war!
