Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 506 - 494 Guan City

Bai Zhongqi rode a white horse, accompanied by Ling and several students, to the gate of Mount Ranji—the Bowl Mouth Pass.

He and Zang Murenqing had traveled there via the mountain path from the Great Snow Mountain, but the road to the north could hardly be called a road at all since it connected to the Great Snow Mountain north of Mount Ranji, which still presented great difficulties for marching troops. This made the Bowl Mouth Pass the only exit from Mount Ranji to the outside world.

"Although the terrain is not as steep as I imagined, it is still quite good," Bai Zhongqi judged purely on the basis of ancient military knowledge.

Ze Pei said, "Teacher, the Lords of Mount Ranji through the ages lacked strength; and at the Bowl Mouth Pass, they built guard towers. Of course, the more important factor is that no lord would bother to mobilize troops for a campaign with no special yields from the rugged terrain of Mount Ranji. So the construction of guard towers here at the Bowl Mouth Pass isn't of much use."

The newly-inducted student of Bai Zhongqi, Bie Su, chimed in, "I reckon we actually need not worry about the Bowl Mouth Pass. Although the forces of the Northeast Land Warlords might assemble tens of thousands of troops, what can they do? The divine might exhibited by the teacher that day against the Rapids Dragon is not something these troops can withstand. We can line up the teacher's cannons outside the Pass, bombard them to upheaval, and any coalition will also have to disperse."

Zang Murenqing spoke seriously, "Although the army of the Northeast Land Warlords is just a human force and their weapons are inferior to those of our Mount Ranji troops, they should not be underestimated lightly. Although I haven't truly understood it these years, the Ghostwatch Mountain folks have nurtured a few dragon slayers. Well, at least they had the capability of dragon slayers, but deep down, they lacked any real intent to slay dragons."

Zang Murenqing had already mentioned this when he revealed his thoughts to Bai Zhongqi earlier, so Bai Zhongqi was not surprised.

He sighed, "Humans are ultimately a species prone to fear and self-interest. Even the powerful dragon slayers think of siding with the Lord, to be among that spared thirty percent in the upcoming Era of the Dragon, while turning a blind eye as the rest are sent to their doom."

Shi Nazhen also said, "How shameful, dragon slayers should not have so little backbone. Fortunately, there is the teacher who steps forward to lead us against the dragon swarms. Otherwise, humanity would have had their spines broken, forever reduced to pigs and dogs for the dragon swarms."

Bai Zhongqi showed no pride, but continued on the topic, "The Rapids Dragon has experienced our Mount Ranji's firepower, and he knows that just relying on tens of thousands of human coalition troops will ultimately not be able to shake Mount Ranji. Since he has made such a plan, there must certainly be other supporting actions. This requires our military preparedness to be full and thorough."

Ling giggled softly, "It's just the erection of a watchtower, not a great difficulty at all."

As she spoke, she opened her own Subspace. This was the first time Shi Nazhen and the other two had seen Ling's Swarm Subspace, and they were shocked and confused, while the soldiers incorporated into the Mount Ranji guard were also somewhat scared and agitated.

From the Subspace, emerged over a dozen giants who were at least ten meters tall with silver skin, looking very intimidating. These were the new type of Enslaved Beasts, Type I Engineer Beasts, produced by Ling after she split off a second Insect Nest and evolved her Insect Nest level. The main function of this type of Enslaved Beast was construction, and their primary building technique was actually 3D printing.

Type I Engineer Beasts could emit a large amount of powder from their mouths along with a special adhesive, followed by expelling extremely hot flames to sinter these bonded powders into solid forms, ultimately creating complete shapes. Even though they emitted a vast quantity of construction powder, Type I Engineer Beasts were still able to control the precision to 1-micrometer level. Moreover, the strength of the shaped objects was very high. According to Bai Zhongqi's own experiments, large-caliber cannons couldn't penetrate a wall structure a meter thick.

The dozen Type I Engineer Beasts dispatched by Zero quickly got to work. They expelled a large amount of powder, some of which was directly sintered with extremely hot flames. After completing one layer of wall, they then spewed out building materials containing metallic alloy powder and sintered it once more.

In just a few hours, the Type I Engineer Beasts had constructed a magnificent fortress at Pass.

Shi Nazhen, unable to believe his eyes, supported himself against a large tree, "This is simply breathtaking."

Lang Rishong laughed and said, "The flaming giants look like they could even fight the giant dragons."

Bai Zhongqi disagreed. The Engineer Beasts were slow and, although they also had a layer of metallic armored skin, they were very inflexible. Dragons had excellent combat skills and, furthermore, Engineer Beasts couldn't fly, so they posed little threat to Flying Dragons.

Building a fortress was just a routine task for Bai Zhongqi, adding a layer of rather insignificant insurance to his defense operations. Of course, a significant advantage of the fortress Zero built was that it facilitated the deployment of the Enslaved Beast army from Mount Ranji, especially the firepower-class beasts.

At that moment, Zang Murenqing suggested, "With the fortress, our military can be said to be in an invincible position. General Lang Rishong's cavalry, which is currently being assembled, is almost ready. Together with the tanks, armored vehicles, and other weapons under teacher's command, and incorporating air power, when the great battle begins, I ask our teacher to deploy my command of the cavalry and armored vehicles to break into the enemy's formation, scatter them, and support with artillery firepower, guaranteeing victory in one fight."

Bai Zhongqi was amazed at how quickly Zang Murenqing had learned; he hadn't been studying with him for long and had already mastered tactics like infantry-tank-artillery coordination. Although his understanding was still basic, through artillery fire suppression, air force interception and strikes, combined with fast-moving ground units' assault, not to mention against mostly medieval armies with limited firearms, it could be deadly even against old-era armed forces.

However, Bai Zhongqi had more considerations. Undoubtedly, his army of Enslaved Beasts was an ace up his sleeve. Warp Speed, the scout, would surely monitor closely and would necessarily report Bai Zhongqi's situation to the Swarm. Bai Zhongqi didn't want to reveal his hand about the Swarm's strength too soon, offering more surprises for when the Swarm arrived.

On the other hand, Warp Speed wouldn't let the Northeast Land coalition forces come to their doom so easily; he must have made other arrangements. Without reliable intelligence, Bai Zhongqi remained cautious and decided not to dispatch his mobile troops, especially the guards' cavalry.

Zero still wore his smiling face and said, "No worries. Even if we deploy ten thousand Humanoid Beasts to fight those so-called coalition forces in close combat, we can easily win. The Swarm only gets stronger the more it fights. When they leave behind a large number of corpses, they will become nourishment for the Swarm, allowing us to create new Enslaved Beasts."
