The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"..."

Ming Fuluo's eyes fell on a sniper in Watson's front line. It was obvious that she knew of this person's existence.

The gun this sniper was holding was not made by Babel, but an improved version made by other alchemists after Babel opened the structural principles of the gun to the Alchemy Association. Naturally, it could only be Earl Watson's own collection, not the help given by Babel.

"second stage."

She turned to look at Hendrick and said, "If everyone else had chosen to improve and upgrade the aether guns instead of making meaningless attempts at creation, we should be able to come up with something more lethal by now."

During that meeting, Ming Fuluo could not understand why Hendrick and others felt that the upper limit of the ether gun would limit its power.

That’s right, it’s almost impossible for anyone to create an etheric firearm that can pose a threat to a fifth-level transcendent, but in this world...how many fifth-level transcendents are there?

After Babel handed over the firearms technology to the Alchemy Association, even Ming Furo herself did not know to what horrific degree this weapon had developed under the transformation of alchemists across the empire.

If it is just "killing life"——

Firearms should be the most efficient weapons, no doubt about it.

"Ether...firearms." Hendrick's mind went blank. "When did they become so lethal?"

“It had that potential from the beginning.”

Ming Fuluo answered calmly, the horrific scene of the battlefield reflected in her purple eyes: "Because it does not need to add any other effects or functions, it only needs to focus on killing, absolutely pure."

A gun may not be comprehensive or powerful enough, but it can definitely kill people efficiently.

"That's why I'm wondering why you didn't focus on modifying or upgrading some special firearms, but instead wasted time making some weapons yourself."

"Because we are not executioners, Ming Fuluo. Something that exists only for killing... should not be born."

Hendrick's eyes were full of powerlessness and sadness, he wanted to make his tone angry and tough, but he knew... no matter how angry he was, he couldn't change anything.

"But weapons are meant for killing, and killing is all that is needed on the battlefield. Nothing else is needed."

Ming Fuluo glanced at Hendrick, her tone unchanged:

"Or do you think I'm an executioner? Did I create guns for the joy of killing?"

She just invented the gun, and her purpose was just to make Babel Tower valuable enough in the eyes of the Grand Princess. As for the fact that guns have developed to this point in such a short period of time, the terror and threat of guns have become even more terrifying...

What does this have to do with her?

Was it she who made the choice, developed the violence, pursued the killing?

Therefore, Ming Fuluo's rationality will not make her waver in the face of the current cruelty and violence.

Just like this, her humanity was gradually extinguished by the similar experiences she had experienced in the past three years.

"Is this the etheric firearm?" The emperor looked at the huge sniper rifle that Anser had magnified with great interest. "Interesting, it's really... a pure weapon."

In the extraordinary world, weapons are often given more meaning and value. The more powerful the weapon, the more its essence tends to be a "tool" with special effects and special abilities.

Guns, which have no special features or, in other words, all features exist only for killing, are indeed the purest weapons.

The roars echoing on the battlefield threatened the warlocks in the distant positions, and every time the warlocks hid in a panic, the muzzles of their guns would be aimed at the extraordinary warriors in front. They obviously had experience in fighting against firearms, and some of them could barely dodge, but those who couldn't... would be shot into pieces.

Earl Watson was obviously well prepared. Not only was this gun extremely lethal, the bullets he prepared for the sniper must have been very expensive. At the moment, he was showing signs of dominating the battlefield.

There is no doubt that this indirectly proves the power of firearms on the battlefield. Ivora, who had always looked very bad, now looked a little better.

“Hahahaha…” Effisande supported his face and laughed softly, “It seems that Ivora really made some interesting gadgets.”

On the light screen, the extraordinary group of Linghu Territory has shown signs of decline. Although no one knows where Earl Watson got this horrible weapon from, there is no point in considering this now.

As long as all the extraordinary people are defeated, the outcome of this war will be determined.

Behind the Linghu Territory's front line, Conrad Shenghui shook his wine glass, shook his head and chuckled, "It's really a powerful death struggle."

Watson Territory can use firearms, and Linghu Territory can use firearms as well. In fact, Earl Linghu had a more radical idea at the beginning. He wanted to collect as many ether firearms as possible and directly suppress Watson Territory with firepower, but this idea was rejected by the Ether Academy represented by Conrad.

How could they use each other's weapons in a war that would decide victory or defeat for both sides?

What's more, it's not necessary at all.

These so-called firearms are nothing but ants in front of true power and true "supernatural".

"The plot should be full of ups and downs. Your Majesty should be looking forward to the final climax."

He turned his head and looked further back, in the direction of Linghu Territory, and raised his glass from afar:

"It's your turn."

"The 'Black' Knight."

Then, light began to flicker on the other side of the horizon.

Ming Fuluo and Hendrick in the air looked towards Linghu Territory at the same time. The huge ether fluctuations emanating from there could not be ignored by anyone.

"The final stage." Ming Fuluo stared at the stream of light rushing from the ground to the sky, "It's time to decide the winner."

At this moment, all the extraordinary people who were fighting each other on the battlefield stopped almost at the same time.

They all raised their heads subconsciously, and then they saw... two streams of light that seemed to tear the sky apart.

The iron knight galloping from the sky grew bigger and bigger in everyone's sight, and the nozzles behind the shoulders of the dark and cold armor spewed out dazzling and hot light like dragon's breath.

It charged over the battlefield and then slowly descended. In everyone's dazed eyes, this sixty-meter-tall steel monster stood in the center of the battlefield.

Its helmet is as ferocious as a dragon's head, and the heavy and exquisite armor protects it, which is already extremely hard, making it impeccable. Its left arm is covered with a shield, and its right hand holds a long sword engraved with complex patterns. All extraordinary people are as small as dust in front of it.

It's not just about the size, it's more about the absolute overwhelming momentum.

"This Robbie... he can at least understand what I mean."

The emperor's mouth curled up slightly: "Of course the knight must be there to turn the tide of the battle and perform a qualified heroic savior drama."

She tilted her head to look at Ivora under the throne, and her hoarse old voice was somewhat kind: "My dear daughter, where are your weapons?"

"...You'll see it sooner or later." Ivora sneered, "And I'm curious about what you'll do if this thing loses."

"Don't talk about things that can't happen, Ivola," the emperor said leisurely. "It's meaningless and makes you look really stupid."

On the light curtain, the iron giant held the sword in both hands and slowly inserted the giant sword like a city wall into the ground. It did not choose to launch an attack, but instead stood on the ground like a statue.

"Hahahaha, the noble pride and rules of a knight!"

Effisand laughed happily. "Interesting! This is what drama looks like. The proud knight lets the weak insects and ants make insignificant attacks on him as much as they want... I like this idea very much!"

Bang!

A gunshot was heard on the silent battlefield, but other than that sound... it seemed as if nothing happened.

The sniper in Watson's front line was stunned for two seconds, then he carefully looked at the part he had just hit through the telescope, but there was no dent on the Black Knight's armor... there was not even a trace of it!

"what!!!"

A warrior transcendent from Watson Territory roared, raised his war hammer and charged at the Iron Knight. From Ming Furo's perspective, he was like an ant rushing towards a mountain.

Then, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed on the black knight's shield, and the white light shot out and directly evaporated the warrior's entire head on the spot!

The warrior's headless body still ran forward two steps before falling to the ground with a thud. The Iron Knight standing on the ground did not make any movement and still just stood there.

Earl Watson looked up at the steel monster rising into the sky, then looked at the small bracelet on his wrist, and his body gradually began to tremble.

He wanted to grab Ming Fuluo by the collar and ask her what was going on. He wanted to shoot the fraudster Count Linghu to death. He even wanted to chop off the head of the old madman on the throne... He wanted to go crazy, and he was really going crazy, but he still had to force himself to stay calm.

"…It's not that there is no chance of winning. It's not that there is no chance of winning."

The plan arranged by Ming Fuluo emerged in his mind, and at this moment he finally understood what the other party meant by "sacrifice".

The young lord's eyes flashed with determination and ruthlessness. He grabbed the necklace around his neck and said in a cold tone:

"Everyone, charge!"

At this moment, all the extraordinary people in Watson's territory were frozen.

“My Lord, My Lord.” Some extraordinary people who could contact Watson couldn’t help but say, “Facing this monster… we have no chance of winning!”

"I said, forward."

Watson's murderous voice echoed in the hearts of every extraordinary person: "I only give you two choices. First, go forward and die on the way to challenging this monster. Second, be killed by me now, immediately!"

"damn it!"

The situation in Watson's territory was already chaotic. Some of the extraordinary people on the battlefield were not Watson's die-hard fans. They were trying to take advantage of the situation and gain some credit.

After all, in this kind of war, it is not so easy for extraordinary people to die. In such a chaotic situation, it is not difficult for people with some strength to survive if they only want to save their lives.

These people, especially those who were already powerful, did not listen to Watson's words at all. Someone responded with disdain: "You idiot kid, go and have fun by yourself! At worst, I can run to Donggang. Who would accompany you to die, stupid——"

His voice stopped abruptly.

The extraordinary person standing next to him was extremely horrified to see that there were countless black thin lines spreading in all directions from the man's chest. Then, his entire body began to self-disintegrate, just like rapidly rotting pieces of meat. His bones, flesh, and even the ether flowing in his body were all collapsing and... self-destructing!

His companions watched him go from a complete person to losing his human form, as his bones and flesh melted and disintegrated, and finally... he completely turned into a pool of blood.

The black lines that came from nowhere have formed a light black mist in the air, but the companions of the person who just made the bold statement felt that this mist... seemed to be staring at them.

The tragic end of his companions made him scream in fear, and he was forced to rush towards the motionless Iron Knight, and then was killed by the beam of light condensed on the shield.

But come to think of it, it's much better than that horrible way of dying.

"……Um?"

The emperor naturally noticed the abnormality immediately. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the scene on the screen: "This thing..."

"I'll say it again!"

Watson's tone was filled with hysterical cruelty: "If you don't die at the hands of that monster, then die in my hands in a more miserable way!"

As he spoke, he killed several extraordinary people with Nidhogg. The tragic end of their flesh and blood being separated, their bodies disintegrating and turning into blood left the extraordinary people led by Watson with no choice.

They didn't know where Watson got his sinister power from, but no one was not afraid of this outcome.

So...the funniest and cruelest scene in this war happened.

More than 200 extraordinary people in Watson's territory rushed towards the Iron Knight with determination, madness, or desperation, while the Black Knight just stood there without making any movements, and easily killed one extraordinary person after another with just the flashing light on his shield.

These "strong men" who usually acted high and mighty, were treated with courtesy and honored as guests wherever they went, but now their deaths were meaningless and valueless, falling one by one like harvested wheat straw.

Hendrick sighed and stopped looking at the scene on the battlefield, while Ming Furo took everything in with an expressionless face, with streaks of light passing through her lenses.

"Nidhogg's completeness is 96%, 93%, 92%..."

As she whispered these incomprehensible words, tiny black dots imperceptible to the naked eye slowly rose from the bodies of the fallen extraordinary people on the extremely cruel battlefield, and then quickly merged into the next body, then floated up again and flew quickly towards the body of the Black Knight.

Originally, Ming Fuluo was confident of winning this war.

If this war involves the entire territories of both parties, then Nidhogg's concealment advantage will be perfectly utilized. As long as someone wears the controller, connects with Nidhogg, and sneaks into Linghu Territory, he alone can slaughter the key forces overnight.

Moreover, she knew the Ether Institute and the Emperor very well. Those despicable mediocre people who wanted to curry favor with the Emperor would never send the Black Knights directly to Watson County at the first opportunity. They would choose to make this "drama" exciting and interesting enough to win the Emperor's favor, just like the pretense they were doing now.

In other words, the Black Knight would most likely be in standby mode in the early stages of the war, which gave her a perfect opportunity. As long as Nidhogg invaded the Black Knight, she could directly destroy this first-generation mechanical equipment that seemed impeccable but actually had various defects and limitations and was quickly eliminated by Anther.

But for some reason, the other party actually proposed a head-on confrontation to decide the winner, and Earl Watson reluctantly agreed. This caused the chance of winning this war to drop drastically, but even so, Ming Furo found the best choice at the first time.

That's sacrifice.

She couldn't gamble on how many spells the activated Black Knight was equipped with, nor could she gamble on whether the machine could detect Nidhogg. Therefore, it would be unwise to attack the Black Knight directly without cover. And breaking up the Nidhogg cluster into pieces and controlling each bug individually was impossible because Earl Watson didn't have any ability to do so.

Then, let the Nidhogg cluster split to the limit of Watson's manipulation, let them hide in the bodies of the extraordinary people in batches, use the corpses of the extraordinary people as springboards, approach the Black Knight step by step, and when approaching the Black Knight... complete the Jedi counterattack!

This is actually also a gamble. If the Black Knight's attack would completely destroy the extraordinary person, if the Black Knight did not pretend to do so for dramatic effect, Watson would not have any chance to resist. But now Ming Furo and Watson have no other choice.

The only option is to let these extraordinary people die one by one.

Ming Furo watched them die tragically, being pierced through the heart by the beam of light, having their heads blown off, having half of their bodies evaporated, being cut in half... These tragic scenes would make her heart waver at first, but as time went by, she no longer felt anything.

This is a necessary sacrifice, and such sacrifice is valuable, bringing them closer and closer to final victory.

"...Eighty-four percent, still within the acceptable range, the last fifteen meters."

The Black Knight was still performing. He no longer used beams of light, but used spells to kill the ants that were trying to shake the mountains. This was a good opportunity for him and the Aether Academy to show their strength. Destroy Watson's army with one sword? Kill all the extraordinary people with a high-level spell?

That would be too boring and such a waste. They spent so many resources of His Majesty the Emperor and so much manpower to create such a milestone in alchemy. How could they not show it off?

And this arrogance is the key to Ming Fuluo's final victory.

"Eighty-two percent, the last eight meters...six meters..."

Ming Fuluo's breathing began to rapid up. She felt the trajectory of Nidhogg's movement. Her purple eyes, which had been almost ice-cold for the past few days, now showed a few rays of fiery light.

The Tower of Babel must not be disbanded, and I... must not be defeated by those mediocre, vicious, shameless and despicable people in the Ether Court who are corroding and imprisoning this world!

When the last extraordinary person fell at the feet of the Black Knight, Ming Fuluo almost growled:
