Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

"Now I have an even better plan. What do you think?"

Swallow didn't reply, but the red light in his electronic eye remained steadily lit, clearly waiting for something to say next.

Lin Si's lips curled into a smile.

"You and I, along with the people from the Earthfire, will gather all the mechanical guards you can, storm the upper district, overthrow the current Grand Guardian, and let the people of the lower district see the light of day again."

He spread his hands.

"how?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at Bronya with astonished expressions.

Seele's mouth was open, as if she hadn't quite grasped what was happening yet.

Oleg did not speak.

He glanced thoughtfully at Bronya's wide grin.

That smile... doesn't seem serious.

But it didn't seem like a joke.

Hiluva and Clara also stopped their discussion and looked at her.

Schwarzkopf's electronic eyes flashed wildly.

"Analyzing target motivations...Evaluation in progress..."

"Unknown motives...cannot be assessed..."

He remained silent for a full five seconds.

For a robot, those five seconds felt like a system crash.

“A member of the Silvermane Iron Guard,”

He finally spoke.

"I have no intention of starting a conflict."

Lin Si smiled.

"Seeking peace? Unfortunately, that's just your one-sided demand."

His tone suddenly turned cold.

"If I were to lead troops to attack the lower districts now, what would you do?"

Upon hearing this, Seele was about to interject when Olegra tugged at her sleeve.

He shook his head, signaling her to be quiet.

Seele held her breath and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Schwarzkopf's electronic eyes flashed even more intensely.

"Reassessment in progress... Target threat level has increased."

His voice remained flat, but his speaking speed had noticeably increased.

"Members of the Silvermane Iron Guards, the lower districts are unable to resist the upper districts' attacks, and will only suffer more casualties."

"Casualty assessment: More than 67% of the population lost. Conclusion: Unacceptable."

Lin Si shrugged.

"So tell me, if you want to stop me from leading my troops to attack the lower districts, what are you going to do?"

He paused for a moment,

"Let me tell you, I am the current commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, Bronya Rand."

After he said that, the room fell silent again.

Schwarz looked at Clara.

The little girl was looking at him with a worried expression, her little hands gripping his mechanical leg.

He looked at Oleg again.

The middle-aged man had no expression, but his eyes were staring sharply at him.

Finally, he looked at Seele.

The member of Earthfire was shrugring his shoulders, clearly trying hard to suppress a laugh.

Schwarzlo fell silent.

Very silent.

The red light from the single eye on its head dimmed slightly, as if it were undergoing some extremely complex process.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

This time, he even used honorifics.

"President Bronya, what is your request? Please speak."

Lin Si almost burst out laughing.

Sure enough, although this robot was incredibly intelligent, its logic was still straightforward.

When you try to reason with him, he just calculates probabilities with you.

If you flip the table, he'll have no choice but to negotiate terms with you.

What is this called?

This is called "social maneuvering!"

Simple and straightforward, but effective.

Seele secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Si saw it, smiled, and ignored her.

"Swarovski, I need to know the total number of Beloberg's mechanical guards, their classifications, and whether there are any other robots like you."

Chapter 42 is stable, completely stable!

Schwarz did not answer immediately.

The single red eye glowed steadily, as if it were retrieving some long-forgotten data file.

After a few seconds, he spoke.

"President Bronya, please wait a moment."

Then, he compiled a list of data.

"The following are the currently existing and statistically verifiable mechanical units in Bellberg:"

"Automatic Mech - Tooth Wolf: Approximately 3200 units."

"Automatic Mech - Grizzly: Approximately 1500 units."

"Automatic Mech - Beetle: Approximately 2800 units."

"Automatic Mech Spider: Approximately 900 units."

"Automatic Mechs - War Dogs: Approximately 1100 units."

Lin Si raised an eyebrow as she looked at the numbers.

"Automated weaponry... are there that many?"

He was genuinely surprised.

That adds up to almost 10,000 units!

It's already quite an achievement for the city of Belleburg to maintain its current state, so where would it get the resources to support so many robots?

Schwarz seemed to see through his confusion.

"President Bronya, this is the total. But 90% of the automated soldiers were 'borrowed' from the Star Peace Corporation by Beloberg seven hundred years ago."

Lin Si: "......?"

"Because of the company's withdrawal, no one knows how to activate these automated robots anymore."

About 70% of them are still in good condition. The remaining 30% have been dismantled and used for reverse engineering to create Belloberg's own automated mechs.

Lin Si fell silent.

He stared at the numbers on the screen and remained silent for a long time.

666.

He really didn't expect that.

He thought that having a Star Core made him invincible in the game, but he didn't expect there to be other experts.

However, since they are the builders of "storage protection," it's reasonable for them to receive support from the company. After all, to be fair, the guys at the company actually respect those who practice "storage protection."

Otherwise, the slogan wouldn't be something like "Dedicate everything to the King of Amber".

However, withdrawing is in line with the company's consistent practices.

The game settings are quite rigorous.

It's unclear whether the developers actually built a company within the game or simply used a concept.

If the company were to actually be established, Lin Si felt that if the company knew that Belloberg still existed, it might come looking for debts...

After all, it was 'borrowed'.

Bronya in her subconscious was even more astonished.

Does Bellenberg have another batch of machinery?

She had no idea!

And what is Star Peace Corporation?

Oleg was also looking at the data.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing Bronya's obvious thoughtful expression, he wisely refrained from interrupting.

Bronya had given him a strange feeling from the very beginning.

That feeling.....

It doesn't look like a leader reviewing military assets.

More like a...

How should I put it?

Are players checking their equipment inventory?

I think that's what young people say, right?

Oleg fell into deep thought.

Hiluva and Clara have returned to the camp entrance.

Hiluva was directing the automated machine gunners to adjust the structural parameters of the gate, muttering to herself.

"This is wrong. The angle of the support beam is off by two degrees. This will cause problems with the load-bearing capacity..."

Clara stood beside her, tilting her little face up to listen attentively, nodding occasionally, and then relaying the information to the automated soldiers.

The scene was actually quite harmonious.

Seele was also helping, but her way of "helping" was more direct. For example, she would kick aside the scrap metal blocking her way.

Lin Si ignored them and continued scrolling through the data. The list of data was very long, and he scrolled all the way to the bottom.

Then it stopped.

At the very bottom of the list, there is only one model listed, with a quantity of only '1'.
