Chapter 1629: Chapter 524: Target Selected

We just talked about using puppets to deal with the Insect Clan problem. Although the toxins of those insects have a corrosive effect on ordinary materials, it’s far better than corroding Transcendents.

"Yes, puppets!

But the problem is, those insects, although just beasts, are still powerful beasts.

The current standard military puppet intelligence is also insufficient.

Even when dealing with ordinary Extraordinary Creatures, it’s somewhat difficult and requires large-scale encirclement, not to mention these stronger Insect Clan.

Of course, using more Advanced puppets would be feasible, as the puppets made by various masters surely have this capability.

But aside from the incredibly low cost-effectiveness, even if we do bulk purchasing, the masters probably can’t provide enough puppets for so many planets."

Several Mages felt a bit regretful, as they indeed wanted to profit from this. After all, this is the entire civilization-level deal, a war profit!

Even if all Tier Six within the civilization, together with their Fifth Tier students, took this order, it would still make them a fortune.

But they have to admit the existence of this problem, which is that their output is too low.

However, soon, a Mage thought of a new approach.

"Perhaps we can mimic those technological civilizations, making puppets like Mechas to protect ordinary soldiers?

This way, they possess defense capabilities and can reduce the cost of puppets, right?"

"Yes! The expensive core of those puppets is the control core. By omitting it, we can significantly reduce the price, and the production difficulty would also decrease greatly...

Good! Let’s settle it then, the masters will collaborate to first create prototypes of puppet Mechas, and then we can make a unified purchase."

General Ximu made a hidden gesture with his hand on his thigh, and several Mages immediately understood, nodding with a smile, thinking, "This general is quite savvy."

He knows to give them a chance to profit.

Ha, these Insect Swarms came at a perfect time!

Recently, the Three Great Civilizations have been at war on the front lines, reducing their oppression on our civilization, and other civilizations have also reduced conflicts due to external threats.

The business for these Tier Six Mages was starting to stabilize.

Now that the Insect Swarm has arrived, they are valuable again, and with the Insect Swarm, money returns!

But since the general has shown goodwill, they can’t not return the favor.

They each shook hands with the general with a smile, intentionally saying:

"Rest assured, since the general has spoken, we will do our utmost.

When the designs are ready, we will ’negotiate’ the price with the general."

Emphasizing "negotiate," they ended the topic in a laughter that blurred the line between genuine and fake, and continued discussing tactics.

With the most concerning interest issue resolved, the Mages and the general were in good spirits, and each person who reached this level was quite capable.

According to the intelligence they obtained and the Insect Clan characteristics they tested themselves, they quickly came up with a plan focusing on long-range methods, aiming to kill the Insect Clan with the strongest single Spell damage possible.

The former can take advantage of the Insect Clan’s lack of ranged means, and also avoid being attacked by the Insect Swarm and getting tainted by those toxins.

The latter aims to minimize the hazards of the Insect Clan’s corpses after they die.

As for those professions that absolutely must engage in Melee, they summarized the best tactics against the Insect Swarm.

In a laugh that satisfied everyone, General Ximu saw off the Mages and returned to his seat, the smile still lingering.

"As expected of something over a hundred years old, unlike those youngsters, talking with them is straightforward.

Ha, once they draft the blueprints, I can earn a hefty commission from this procurement.

Adding the extra funds obtained from Your Majesty this time, tsk-tsk...

Saving up a bit more, I might be able to acquire another of Lord Fanmao’s Potion and try to break through to high-tier!"

He reached out and made a grasping motion towards a star outside the window, his fingers closing as if already envisioning the treatment he would enjoy as the first Seventh Rank in civilization.

A few seconds later, his gaze sharpened, returning to work mode, and he pressed the communication device at hand.

"Prepare the entire army, the 3rd and 4th fleets are ready to attack with me, other fleets hold position, awaiting new orders at any time."

As his order was given, the entire fleet swiftly started moving again.

Ten minutes later, half of the battle fleet separated and moved in the direction from which the Insect Swarm just retreated, heading toward the coordinates of the reconnaissance warship.

The coordinates of the reconnaissance warship weren’t too far, resting in the desolate cosmic space outside the Constant Star System.

It’s the most common space in the universe, situated between Constant Star Systems, usually utterly void, with only the rare occurrence of a wandering planet or cosmic dust.

It can be said to have almost no cover.

Yet despite this, because the space between these Constant Star Systems is extremely vast, finding something within is as hard as searching for a mosquito in a wide stadium, making it a good hiding spot instead.

Many civilizations set up their secret bases in these locations.
