I am the one running the game

Chapter 889: Fifty thousand people? Are the Aore Empire crazy?

The deal between Lu Xingshi and Donglang was finally reached.

All the people of the Snow Tribe were dealt with by Lu Xingshi. He was very reliable, especially when it came to his own interests.

In order to prevent the loss of his share of divine power, Lu Xingshi even brought his intact body to Winter Wolf himself.

This was all thanks to the help of the snow wolf pack, otherwise it would have been a real hassle for Lu Xingshi to drag so many corpses back by himself.

Then, Lu Xingshi stood aside and watched Dong Lang extract the divine power. Since he was already here, he had to watch it to the end before leaving.

One is to prevent the other party from stealing the power secretly, and the other is to see the extraction principle.

You never know if you will be able to use it in the future.

The winter wolf did not expel Lu Xingshi, mainly because it was not strong enough, and it could do nothing if Lu Xingshi refused to leave.

We can only let it go.

After nearly ten days of hard work, Winter Wolf finally gave the Breath of Wind and Snow to Lu Xingshi and sent him down the mountain.

Lu Xingshi checked and found no problems, and there was no problem with the divine power share, so he left.

It can only be said that there is no trust between the two parties at all, and the support is entirely based on interests.

On the way, Lu Xingshi tried to use the Breath of Wind and Snow, and it turned out to be quite effective.

Especially in terms of operating principle.

If the effects of the original Winter and Death of the God of Ice and Snow were fixed programs and relatively rigid, then Breath of Wind and Snow was self-programmed. As long as you could use the four powers of ice, snow, wind, and cold, you could weave and control related phenomena in nature.

Of course, there is a limitation, because he is not the real god of winter, ice and snow, so the upper limit is relatively limited.

But no matter how limited it is, as long as it is used properly, it is far more powerful than the magical weapon of death of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow.

However, the threshold is relatively high, and it is suitable for people like Lu Xingshi who are good at cheating. If Catherine gets the Breath of Wind and Snow, she can only play palace fighting honestly instead of crushing with the army of undead.

Because she really can't use it. If she wants to play it well, she must at least be a great wizard.

Another point is that the Breath of Snow and Wind cannot control the snow and wind in the Permafrost Mountains.

Through the Breath of Wind and Snow, Lu Xingshi also confirmed that the wind and snow in the Everfrost Mountains are indeed divine attributes rather than wind and snow. They are just manifested in the form of wind and snow.

If it could be controlled, Lu Xingshi would have taken it away directly. How could it be left in the Permafrost Mountains?

The snowy area solidified by the magical weapon Death of the God of Winter and Ice and Snow can be removed by Breath of Snow and Wind. In terms of authority, Breath of Snow and Wind is naturally higher.

In addition, Lu Xingshi also obtained the inheritance of a necromancer.

That’s right, it was the one Catherine got, and it was more complete than the one Catherine got.

After all, Catherine had no way to fully control the magical weapon. After it turned into the Breath of Wind and Snow, the original restrictions must have been lifted by the Winter Wolf.

Therefore, Lu Xingshi can just watch it directly without meeting the conditions for inheritance.

After reading it, Lu Xingshi lost much interest.

First of all, it cannot be used. Lu Xingshi’s extraordinary organ, the Heart of the Earth, is of earth attribute, and if he wants to use the inherited witchcraft, he needs the attributes of ice and death.

Apart from retaking the course, there aren't many possibilities for part-time study.

Part-time jobs also require compatibility. Lu Xingshi has the earth attribute, which doesn't match ice and death in any way.

Furthermore, the Necromancer himself is not very strong, but his strength lies in the Undead Army.

But Lu Xingshi didn't need it at all. He had the Moonlight Werewolf Corps. Not only could they appear on the battlefield openly, but their strength was also far superior to that of the Undead Army.

The undead army does not need to eat or drink and does not need to worry about anything, but these undead soldiers are all unemployed and can do nothing but fight and kill.

As for the Elite Undead? Not only is that expensive, but it also requires certain conditions.

The overall strength is about the same as Moonlight Werewolf.

On the contrary, Lu Xingshi's Moonlight Werewolf can serve as a combatant during wartime, and when there is no war, he can do other things and does not necessarily have to leave his job.

However, what determines these is not only the cost issue, but also the issue of strength and fit.
If he were a necromancer, he would definitely raise an army of undead. Unfortunately, he is not a necromancer, so he would definitely not choose undead soldiers who are of little help to him.

As for using them as cannon fodder? That is even more unrealistic.

Playing with the dead is a blow to one's own morale. No one wants to become a ghost after death and still be driven by others. All they want is to rest in peace underground.

This was not an empty talk, otherwise Lu Xingshi would have been able to gain so many conveniences by saying that Catherine was a necromancer who played with the dead and usurped the throne.

Usurping the throne is one thing, but another is that the methods of Catherine, the undead witch, are so hateful.

Imagine meeting your parents’ ghosts on the battlefield, turning around to see your grandparents’ skeletons, and then discovering that your childhood friend’s flesh and blood has turned into a zombie.

Anyone would be furious at this, and their fighting power would at least double, or their adrenaline would surge.

When Lu Xingshi returned to the territory and had not yet sat down to drink a cup of tea, the butler rushed over like a monkey. "Sir, something big happened during your ten days away..." The butler reported the bad news to Lu Xingshi.

"The Aore Empire has sent reinforcements. There are now 50,000 steam soldiers on the front battlefield, many of whom are equipped with steam vipers."

"The defense on the front line is precarious. Just yesterday, the defense line was almost breached." said the butler.

When Lu Xingshi heard the number of steam soldiers, his face turned extremely shocked.

Fifty thousand people? Is this a normal number?
He remembered that according to the number reported by the spies, the other side had only 10,000 steam soldiers.

It's only been a short time, how come the number has suddenly increased to 50,000?

The commander of the Aore Empire's invasion of the Voss Kingdom this time was the famous imperial beast Gato, and Lu Xingshi also had a certain understanding of this.

He fights very fiercely, sweeping the battlefield like a wild beast. From a small soldier to now, he has only had very few defeats and his winning rate can be said to be 99 percent.

As a result, this time, the style has become so cautious.

But it's normal if you think about it again. Style is style, but people can't always fight with style. Otherwise, once others figure out their routines, they're doomed.

The so-called style is most likely used to confuse the enemy. If someone really targets the enemy according to his style, then Gato will let the enemy understand why he is called a beast in the Orei Empire.

"With 50,000 steam soldiers, it's really good to be able to hold on."

"By the way, I remember that the bodies of steam soldiers were sent from the front line before. Where are they now?" asked Lu Xingshi.

The bodies had been transported from the front line before he went to the Permafrost Mountains, so they must have arrived by now.

The Kingdom of Voss is not big, and compared with the kingdom to the north occupied by Lu Xingshi, its territory is naturally smaller.

"It has been delivered. I'll arrange for someone to bring it to you." The butler said immediately.

Lu Xingshi did not plan to go to the front line for rescue immediately. As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

It's a good opportunity to take a look at what these so-called steam soldiers are like. Only with sufficient intelligence can we respond appropriately.

Several steam soldiers were soon sent over.

As soon as he saw it, Lu Xingshi understood that the so-called steam soldiers were actually similar to cyborgs, and the whole person had become semi-mechanized.

As for the energy that propels itself, it can be quickly revealed through dissection.

"The heart and blood circulate at high speed, and the mechanical equipment implanted in the body forms steam, which creates extraordinary power..."

"No, its steam is not just a gas formed by pressure and temperature."

"It is a substance similar to qi and blood, forming extraordinary steam. In essence, it becomes extraordinary indirectly through objects."

“So this is why we are not restricted by the environment.”

Lu Xingshi quickly completed the analysis of the principles of steam soldiers. If Lu Xingshi wanted to manufacture them next, he... couldn't make them.

The machinery implanted in the body will produce rejection in the body. Also, the source of the extraordinary steam does not come out of nothing, and it also requires the implantation of some kind of inducer similar to the generation of qi and blood.

This means that steam soldiers, like the moonlight werewolves under Lu Xingshi, cannot be successfully manufactured without the corresponding environment and conditions.

How to become a moonlight werewolf without a crescent pendant.

If you want to make a crescent pendant, you need the Moonstone and the Werewolf Curse. If you lack one of them, you cannot create a Moonlight Werewolf.

Therefore, if you want to make steam soldiers, you need a complete production line and corresponding technical knowledge.

"So, there is indeed something wrong with the steam engine..." Lu Xingshi had previously thought that the steam engine was just an industrial revolution in the Orei Empire, but now it seems that this is not an industrial revolution at all, it is clearly an extraordinary revolution.

The steam engine is most likely not the steam engine he knows, it just has similarities in name and principle.

"Then...what is this thing?" Lu Xingshi looked at one of the more special steam soldier corpses, which had a mechanical device similar to a long tube on its body.

This creature is soft but also very tough, and has a certain strength, so it is not easy to destroy it.

The long tube is embedded in the spine and replaces the spine to a certain extent.

Overall, it's like a snake.

“Could it be the so-called steam viper???” Lu Xingshi suddenly reacted.

Since the steam engine was not the steam engine he imagined, then the steam viper in the steam weapon of the Orei Empire was definitely not the firearm he imagined.

It is a mechanically constructed snake transplant device, which makes sense.

"Don't mention it, it's really possible. Its structure further strengthens the transformation of the steam soldier, making it a secondary reinforcement with the spine as the center."

"Basic strengthening is the heart, and advanced strengthening is the spine."

"What about other enhancements?" Lu Xingshi was sure that the Steam Viper was not only a weapon, but also an advancement of the Steam Soldier, just like the change from Moonlight Werewolf to Moonlight Big Werewolf.
