Everything in the Radiant Fort’s puppet base was automatized, but that place was the best masterpiece of a Heaven Rank powerhouse. The power needed to run the base was stolen from the Abyss via the Radiant Fort’s array.

The Grey Beastmen’s fort didn’t have anything that outstanding. There wouldn’t be enough power in the long term if they used mana crystals, so they could only use hydraulic power or some other type of mechanical power. But hydraulic power would need very heavy water consumption.

The fort was now sealed, so how could they still dare to use water without restraint?

After surrounding the Grey Beastmen’s fort, Lin Yun discovered that their fort was built on top of a huge piece of granite. That way, they wouldn’t be attacked from underground, and with the anti-air towers and the city walls, they simply didn’t need to worry about defense.

But that also made them lose their access to groundwater. How could they continue to use water like that?

Lin Yun looked at the confluence of the rivers while thinking of something. He then personally went to the river to start searching. The Magic Array was continuously studying the flow of the river, and in an instant, a huge amount of data crazily flowed into his brain.

Soon, Lin Yun found an anomaly in an ordinary spot. When the river flowed through there, a part would be missing, as if a part of the river was flowing somewhere else.

Lin Yun discovered an array specially used for concealment inside the river. That array’s defensive abilities were very poor. It was just like an ordinary rock covering a passage at the bottom of the river.

As he kept exploring the river, he quickly discovered thirteen such passages, presumably all leading to the Grey Beastmen’s fort.

‘No wonder these guys have such an unyielding attitude. It turns out they aren’t afraid of running out.’

Lin Yun thought for a while and then casually smashed two passages before sending a bunch of puppets to guard them, and another team to examine the bottom of the river.

This was all naturally detected by the Grey Beastmen. Two of their water sources had suddenly stopped working, and seeing the puppets on the river bank, they immediately became worried.

If all the water sources were destroyed, they would end up dying while trapped in their fort. Let alone developing, if they didn’t do anything, they would have issues just staying hydrated within half a month.

The next day, Lin Yun had the puppets destroy another passage. This time, the Grey Beastmen could no longer remain still.

At night, several hundred monster puppets quietly left from a side gate, followed by a few dozen strange puppets.

These human-shaped puppets were over six meters tall and had a huge, transparent light barrier covering their chests. A Grey Beastman could be seen sitting in the chest compartment of each one, controlling these mechas as if they were machines. But the mechas’ movements were clearly more flexible than those of puppets, and they could display even more power.

Lin Yun was calmly waiting on the side, not even lighting a bonfire as he looked at the Grey Beastmen and puppets who were taking advantage of the darkness.

Lin Yun smiled.

“Go, tear all that cannon fodder apart, but don’t kill the Grey Beastmen. Anyone controlling a mecha should be an Alchemist, and these are talented ones. Hmm… Just capture a few and let a few of them run away.”

The mage army and the puppet army were calmly waiting. When one of the puppets guarding the river was torn apart, the two armies immediately rushed to the river bank as if they had just discovered what happened.

The monster puppets weren’t worth mentioning. After being charged at by the sword puppets twice, they turned into a pile of components.

But those few dozen mechas driven by the Grey Beastmen showed shocking power.

Those mechas didn’t possess an automatic control system. They were fully controlled by the Grey Beastmen piloting them, and they were obviously Level 30 puppets. There were a few dozen mechas, yet, under the pressure of a few hundred sword puppets, they were only pushed back, and that was just due to being at a numerical disadvantage.

These mechas had the flexibility that ordinary puppets didn’t have, and just like seasoned fighters, they could cripple some sword puppets even while retreating.

But the circumstances changed once the mage army joined in.

The mechas themselves were close-range battle puppets, but the Grey Beastmen within could use a system to cast spells in close range. The power displayed by a Level 30 mecha and a Level 30 Grey Beastman together could be comparable to a powerhouse between Level 33 and Level 35.

Lin Yun recalled some notes about mechas as he saw this.

In the future, puppets would be too inflexible, and the weak point of being unable to compare with mages of the same rank would be repeatedly brought up. The mechas, which had already appeared, naturally became a source of attention.
