"But it’s very heavy."

Loken, who had just lit a cigarette, took a few deep drags and said, "I want to know if its energy, aside from moving itself, can also carry other heavy objects."

The old engineer gestured, "Those pre-civilization machines on the island’s surface, though they don’t have the Law Protection like the guardians in the Mechanical Creation Furnace, are just as solid."

No one doubted this fact; otherwise, they couldn’t have endured through the unknown years of storms after the Island Founder left.

"You mean using them to launch binding tools to trap that thing?" Neil asked.

"This is the best solution I can think of."

Loken sighed, "We live on an island that thrives on shipbuilding, in a peaceful place like the Flos Sky Realm, where there’s never been any battle consideration." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"I think it’s feasible," Li Ang said.

When everyone looked over, he continued, "I can use the Melting and Gathering Law to strengthen these machines, so they won’t easily be torn apart by the Destruction Battleship, but what about the binding tools?"

"Use the hovercraft connection cable for modification," someone interrupted.

The speaker was Bostein, the director of the Star Shipyard. After enduring imprisonment and the recent bombardment tremors, he looked exhausted, but he forced himself to be spirited.

"We are a shipyard, we have similar things in abundance, as long as we have the processing tools, modification would be quick. Here, at the Shadow Shipyard, I see many pre-civilization devices capable of such functions."

Even the construction of "Eternal Summer" was incredibly fast. What Bostein said could indeed be realized. And the hovercraft connection cable was a place where no shortcuts could be taken; otherwise, the ship would break and fall into the Bloody Red Land upon departure, so they were exceptionally sturdy, employing the best craftsmanship of the shipyard.

"We have connection cables here, but we haven’t focused on shipbuilding for a long time, and our stock is low," Neil said.

"Our warehouse has them, as long as we can go back!" another director said.

"Then we’ll have to execute an operation to retrieve the materials," Melegon said.

"Who will we send? Wait, whoever we send won’t withstand that thing’s artillery fire," Morales said.

Melegon seemed to have anticipated this, "Dual-line combat."

"What do you mean?"

"We planned to rescue civilians and tourists who were deceived, while the Empire needs these people as hostages to prevent the righteous side from attacking them, to implement their plan of establishing a base outside the Ignis Sky Realm. They cannot accept people being rescued and will certainly try to stop us."

"Understood, you want a frontal rescue and then use some people to block the Destruction Battleship, divert attention, and others go back to fetch the connection cables."

Xiaomo said, "Then only the people at the front may bear the artillery fire."

"That’s when the Fallen Island Battleship comes into play," Loken said.

It was precisely to gain a frontal counter against the Destruction Battleship that Li Ang and others took the Key of Activation.

"Rescuing civilians will naturally be undertaken by my people," the Order Flower Sword Corps leader claimed the task without hesitation.

And retrieving materials should also ensure combat strength, handled by Farina, Xiaomo, and a few order knights.

Among the two cavalrymen who came to assault the Mechanical Creation Furnace this time, one set out with Li Ang, Meluna, Meimei, and Andasu to reinforce large machinery, while the other headed to the combat airship of the Flower Sword Group in the cloud outside to gather the forces originally ambushing the fleeing Empire.

After retrieving the connection cables, they would be processed into blockade cables, launched using ancient machinery on the surface of the City of the Ship’s Rudder. Those cranes would become solid iron stakes to trap the Destruction Battleship.

Then, the Fallen Island Battleship and warriors could pour artillery fire towards the Destruction Battleship.

The plan was formulated, some details were discussed, and then execution began immediately.

In the dusk of the City of the Ship’s Rudder, the terrified crowd either cried or prayed, as the enigmatic Destruction Battleship, like an evil metal god, hovered in the sky, silently watching over the frail masses.

The Empire’s various proclamations had already gone through several rounds, but the warriors who emerged from the shadows drew their swords.
