Please be my partner.

The towering man complained, "Merlen, you asked for leave at the wrong time. I've only had two days off, and you're already here to take over your duties."

The young man in brocade clothes smiled and said, "Sanchez, you are reluctant to leave the female knight who has been so popular recently, right? Mellen has been stationed for such a long time, and he has been doing the work of two people. It's time to rest and relax."

Sanchez curled his lips and said, "Sasha, of course I know that." He turned to Mellen and chuckled, "Brother Mellen, you're quite charming. I heard that even during your garrison mission, that witch Evelyn came to see you every few days. Hehe, you guys are quite the shrew!"

Mellen rubbed his aching forehead and said, "Sanchez, I don't have the energy to think about all that right now. What, are you interested in Evelyn? How about I set you up with her someday so you can get to know her better?!"

Sanchez waved his hands quickly. He knew Evelyn, of course, but he decided to forget about this complicated witch. In comparison, he preferred those female knights, who were not only strong but also straightforward, which was more to his taste.

After a brief chat, Melen completed the task handover with the two of them, and then without any further delay, he boarded the Golden Retriever and headed directly towards the Kingdom of Kro.

Dal looked at the figure riding the giant dragon leaving in the sky with a dazed expression.

At Jinmao's current speed, it wouldn't take long at all to get from Sunset Mountains to Vero City.

Soon, Melen arrived at the valley base. Pinocchio had been waiting there for a long time with a smile on his face.

Pinocchio naturally understood what Mellen was most concerned about right now, so after a simple salute, he took him into the valley base.

Mellen watched along the way. After several months of development, the changes here were quite great. Not to mention the entertainment town on the periphery, the area was two or three times larger than the original one. The valley base was even more cyber-fantasy, and all kinds of mechanical creations that facilitated work and life could be seen everywhere. The interior was also divided into several floors, and each floor was strictly controlled. If you want to pass, you must undergo multiple certifications.

Soon, they arrived at the deepest part of the valley base and saw a huge, sci-fi mechanical fortress.

The Titan Fortress is mainly silver in color and has an overall oval shape. Its maximum diameter is 5 kilometers, its minimum diameter is 4.5 kilometers, and it is 50 meters high. Regular geometric textures can be seen from the outside. This is because a large number of modular structures were used in the construction of this mechanical fortress.

Such a gigantic mechanical creature, just standing here, will give people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Pinocchio said proudly, "This is the Colossus Fortress, a weapon that can influence any war. At full power, it's enough to burn the entire Kingdom of Crow to the ground within three days. This is still limited by its speed. Even a legendary warrior known for his defense can't survive its attack for more than a second!"

"Originally, to operate it, one would need at least three legendary mechanical masters, over a hundred third-tier mechanics, three thousand first- and second-tier mechanics, and tens of thousands of mechanical professionals who have undergone various professional training."

"But with the help of the optical computer network formed by the 127 optical computers we installed, we now only need one legendary mechanical master, ten third-level mechanics, and and nd-level mechanics to operate it with ease. All aspects of operation and maintenance can be handed over to specially built mechanical puppets."

"Of course, if more mechanics join in, the performance of the Giant God Fortress can be improved to a certain extent."

When Pinocchio was introducing it to Mellen, several dogs also came out and looked at this huge mechanical creation.

Garuru ran quickly around the Targon Fortress, and when it came back, it looked at its owner with an embarrassed look, as if to say, this guy is too big and looks delicious, but it can't eat it.

Melen tapped the mechanical dog's head with amusement and said, "There's no rush to swallow the Titan Fortress. We have to wait until you become a Legend."

Under Pinocchio's guidance, they entered the interior of the Titan Fortress, and the mechanics from the Fairy Tale Kingdom were already in place.

In the command room, three little pigs in silver combat uniforms saluted Mellen solemnly, then reported the more specific parameters of the Titan Fortress. Finally, they said, "Your Majesty, the Titan Fortress has completed its self-inspection, and the data is normal. As long as the three power cores are in place, it can be officially activated."

Melen nodded and went to the power room of the Giant God Fortress, where there were three interconnected sealed cabins.

In cabin number three, Mellen took out a round metal cage the size of a human head. Densely crisscrossed tiny chains extended from the cage. These chains were all made of energy, trapping a dark sphere inside.

As Mellen let go, the round metal cage floated to the center of the cabin. Under the guidance of the energy circuit in the cabin, the dark and pure void energy began to gush out. At the same time, the natural law textures originating from the void behemoth were mapped out. Under the guidance of these law textures, the chaotic and disordered void energy was immediately tamed and began to flow along the predetermined trajectory.

As the void energy surged, the outer space of the Giant God Fortress became slightly distorted.

In cabin number two, Melen placed the elemental energy pool in the pre-made interlocking interface. With a slight 'buzzing' sound, the four-element energy liquid in the elemental energy pool began to boil, and the energy pipeline guided it to various parts of the Giant God Fortress.

As the four elements' energies flowed, the Giant God Fortress gradually became full. From the outside, four colors of light kept flashing.

In the last cabin, No. 1, Melen touched Garuru and said softly, "Go."

Garuru, who had been unable to wait any longer, immediately jumped in and partially deformed himself to create various interfaces to connect with the lines in the cabin.

At this moment, the mechanical dog's thinking expanded infinitely and gradually connected to the entire Giant God Fortress. In addition to being one of the three major power cores, it is also the central brain of the entire Giant God Fortress. It has the highest authority in the Giant God Fortress, and other mechanics only play an auxiliary role.

"Buzz buzz buzz!~Boom boom boom!~"

Just like a giant ancient beast awakening from a long slumber, a heavy aura that was enough to oppress the body and spirit slowly rose up.

Chapter 241 Testing and Brewing

In the command room of the Titan Fortress, Melen casually sat in the main seat and said, "Well, let's test this 'big toy'!"

After receiving Mellen's order, all the fairy tale mechanics began to get busy.

The eldest of the three little pigs said, "Giant Fortress, start! Start the void engine and prepare for space jump."

The second brother said: "The void engine has been started, the void laws have converged and stabilized, the void energy has overflowed, and the space jump is ready."

The third brother said: "The scanning system is in place, the jump location has been locked, and the stabilizer self-check is complete. There are no abnormalities. The space jump can be made."

As the Fairytale Mechanics took action, Pinocchio, standing next to Melen, explained, "Normally, a space jump from the Titan Fortress to a target location within a 300-kilometer radius takes only three seconds. However, since this is the first time the Titan Fortress has been activated, we need to go through the process again for safety reasons, and the relevant components also need to undergo a self-inspection."

Mellen nodded slightly and waited patiently.

In fact, it didn't take long. After about two minutes, the space jump was ready.

With a buzzing sound, the Giant God Fortress floated into the air, and the surrounding space began to distort rapidly, making the entire Giant God Fortress hazy.

When a certain critical point was reached, the space distortion stagnated for a moment, and then suddenly collapsed, and the Giant Fortress disappeared from the valley base.

West, three hundred kilometers away.

The space began to tremble slightly, and then a large area of water wave-like texture appeared. The Giant Fortress seemed to be squeezed out of the void, causing the surrounding space to become disordered for a short time.

The three little pigs quickly summarize the data:

"The Void Engine is running well. Void Energy consumption is 3.9%, with an estimated replenishment time of 8 minutes and 37 seconds. The Void Law Texture is deflected by 0.19%, with an estimated recovery time of 6 minutes and 15 seconds."

"Scanning the surrounding environment, consistent with the preset, stabilizer No. 7 is overheating, stabilizer No. 11 is in an abnormal state and has been isolated. The other stabilizers are operating normally. The cause is under investigation."

"Recovering the scattered void energy... Recovery complete."

"Conducting a second overall self-test...Self-test complete, void energy begins warming up, preparing for ultra-long-distance transmission and high-stress testing. Target: the open sea, 6500 kilometers away."

Pinocchio said, "Void energy is a form of pollution that is difficult to remove from the world. It not only causes environmental damage, but also causes unpredictable distortions in the lives affected by it. Although the overall cycle of the world itself will continuously purify the void energy, as a precaution, it is best to recycle the dissipated portion after each use of void energy."

Melen nodded slightly, which was what he should have expected.

More than ten minutes later, the outer space of the Giant Fortress collapsed again, and the next moment, it appeared above the open sea 6500 kilometers away.

This is followed by the third round of self-inspection after the high-stress test.

Not long after, Pinocchio reported: "Your Majesty, the Void Engine is operating well, but such long-distance teleportation requires a longer time to recover, and can only be used once every three hours."

"The next thing to test is the attack system."

Melen showed anticipation and indicated that they could begin.

Pinocchio said, "Currently, the Titan Fortress is equipped with three types of weapons: the Psionic Beam, the Four Elements Fusion Energy Cannon, and the Void Retraction Cannon."

Thirty-six slender spikes extend from the outside of the Giant God Fortress. Due to the modular combination, these spikes can move freely around the fortress and change their positions at will.

As the energy gathered, slightly dim beams of psychic energy shot out from the spikes. These beams of rays intertwined into a net, instantly cutting the sea below into pieces.

The speed of psychic energy beaming is extremely fast. Once locked, it is almost impossible to avoid. The damage of a single ray can reach legendary level. It only takes three or five rays to jointly concentrate fire. If a legendary strongman does not have special means, he will almost certainly die.

Immediately afterwards, six thick gun barrels extended from the periphery of the Giant God Fortress, but they did not launch the attack at the same time. Instead, one of them pointed at a small island with an area of more than ten kilometers not far away.

This small island is located in the open sea. Due to its altitude, it will be directly submerged once the sea level rises. Therefore, there is no life on it, and there are not even many plants.

As the fusion energy of the four elements gathered at the muzzle, the elements in a large area around it became chaotic and agitated. If a wizard with weaker control was in such an environment, it would be easy for him to fail in casting spells.

Ten seconds later, a four-colored ball of light, half a man's height, shot out. Its speed wasn't considered fast in the eyes of a Legendary warrior, and it could be easily dodged. However, when it hit the island...

The energies of the four elements, earth, water, fire and wind, began to entangle and fission with each other. Although more than 95% of the energy was offset by each other in this entanglement, the remaining energy fissioned and skyrocketed exponentially.

Light!

Endless light spread out!

The moment the four-element fusion energy exploded, the one-kilometer radius around it was directly melted away, and then the entire island quickly shattered and disintegrated under the impact of the energy. The energy shock wave continued to spread outward, a large amount of sea water was evaporated, and a huge tsunami was set off.

The Giant God Fortress, more than ten kilometers away, was also affected, but the distorted space deflected most of the impact wave, and the remaining part hit a layer of four-color energy shield, like an ant trying to shake a tree, without causing any ripples.

After several minutes, the energy impact stopped and the huge tsunami gradually moved away. It took a long time for the sea to resolve the impact of this attack.

At this time, the entire island has completely disappeared. The impact range of the previous attack can reach 30 kilometers. Of course, it is impossible to kill the extraordinary person after about ten kilometers away from the center of the explosion.

The Void Recoil Cannon test was relatively simple, using only a single attack at its lowest power.

With this blow, the space with a diameter of one kilometer shattered as a whole, its interior turned pitch black, and countless spatial cracks were stirring wildly.

Finally, the Giant God Fortress tested various capabilities including conventional flight, enemy scanning, energy protection, space blockade, element extraction, etc.

After this test, Melen really saw the value of the four words "war machine".

Melen could feel Garuru's joy through the contract. The mechanical dog had no resistance to such a hard and strong big guy.

Mellen asked, "Now that the testing is complete, when can it be put into actual combat?"

Pinocchio listened to the three little pigs' report, thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, it will take three days to debug everything. After three days, the Titan Fortress will be in perfect condition."

Mellen nodded and asked, "Will this fortress be unable to operate without Garuru?"

Pinocchio shook his head and said, "Garuru is equivalent to a ready-made core furnace. Due to its unique characteristics, it can greatly enhance the Titan Fortress. However, it is not the only one. We have already created a backup. However, if the backup core furnace is used, the Titan Fortress's performance is expected to decrease by approximately 11%."

"A drop of 11%? So much?!" Mellen was a little surprised.

Pinocchio nodded to indicate that it was correct.

Melen sighed helplessly, "Let's try to strengthen the backup core furnace. I can't let Garuru stay in the Titan Fortress forever."

Pinocchio wanted to say that the current backup core furnace was the limit of their current technology and there was no room for improvement or enhancement, but since his king had already spoken, he naturally could not refute it and could only say that they would try their best.

Melen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hurry up and debug it. The Giant God Fortress will soon be unveiled for the first time. I believe it will be a grand spectacle that will shock the Blue and Green World."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

…………

Leaving the follow-up matters to Pinocchio, Mellen returned to Sunset Mountains and then immediately went to see Dahl.

Darl asked with concern, "How is it?"

Melen smiled and said, "It's better than I thought! We can start the plan now."

Dahl didn't answer immediately, but closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a long moment, he said, "The reason the demons have been tolerating us is simply because the three demon lords are unwilling to give up their gains, but also unwilling to suffer too much loss. If we display extraordinary power, the three demon lords might attract other demon lords to join us. At that time, the situation we have to face will be even more difficult, so..."

Dahl's expression grew serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "We only have one chance. If we miss it, it will be difficult for us to recover. By then, you and I will both become sinners of the Blue and Green Realm. Are you sure you want to continue with this plan?"

Melen said nothing and pushed a memory crystal in front of Dahl.

Dahl lightly touched the memory crystal with his fingertips, and came back to his senses after a moment, with a hint of shock still in his eyes.

He sighed and said, "I see. Then, let's start the plan!"

The two then discussed secretly for several hours before ending the conversation.

Orders were issued one after another from the Knights of Dusk. This time, there was no need for sharp eyesight. Any normal person could understand that the Knights of Dusk were mobilizing for a full-scale war.

A day later, all the legends on the human side were summoned. Even those who were unable to leave due to missions participated in the meeting remotely through special supernatural items.

Facing the puzzled looks of the Legends, Dahl said, "I am ready to start a decisive battle with the demons and completely wipe out all the demons in the space-time rift!"

"what?!"

"Why is this happening?"

"No! We are currently able to maintain a balance of power only because of the rules of the Blue and Green Realm. Once we enter the space-time rift, the demons' combined strength will be enough to crush us."

"Yes, Captain, why did you make such an unwise choice?"

As soon as Dal's words came out, the vast majority of the legendary strongmen immediately expressed their opposition. Even those who did not express their opinions just watched coldly, waiting for Dal to give an explanation.

Darl looked around and said with a firm expression, "It's not that I don't trust everyone here, nor do I want to deceive you. It's just that this matter is of great importance, and we only have one chance. If there is any mistake, the entire Blue and Green Realm will be doomed. I hope everyone can trust the Dusk Knights this time. I will charge headfirst and stand before everyone!"

Mellen's mouth twitched slightly. He remembered that a certain novel seemed to say, "A true hero will turn his back on everyone." The scene before him gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

After a long silence among the Legends, someone spoke up, "Alright! I'll keep you company this time. I want to see what secrets you, the Twilight Knights, are holding out for. But let me be frank: if you ruin this promising situation, don't blame me for turning ruthless! Humph!"

Upon seeing this, the other legends also expressed their opinions one after another, but their expressions were not very good.

Dahl didn't say anything more, but bowed deeply to everyone with a solemn expression.

Those who can achieve legends in the current era are the best choice, no matter in terms of talent or mind, and being able to come to support the battlefield of time and space rifts further demonstrates their position.

Although Dal's evasive words made them feel offended and distrusted, they decided to accept it with the support of the Dusk Knights.

After all, to make Dahl do this, I'm afraid the Dusk Knights are really going to reveal some incredible tricks.

Although there are some doubts about the timing of the Dusk Knights revealing their cards, if the outcome can really be decided in one battle, it will be a good thing for the entire Blue and Green World.

The human camp in the entire Sunset Mountains was like a fully wound train, rushing forward. The atmosphere of war became increasingly intense. The legions of all parties began to make final adjustments and assemble, and the legendary strongmen were also gearing up and preparing for the battle.

In the space-time rift area, the demons vaguely felt the atmosphere of the human side, but most of them had no scruples and continued to do what they had to do, not taking humans seriously at all.

Only a very small number of demons noticed that something was wrong. Years of fighting with humans have made them understand this opponent better. They know that humans cannot suddenly go crazy collectively, so the action of humans taking the initiative to provoke war is very interesting.
