"Speaking of which, aside from the two weapons, I have some good news for you," Su Yunbing said with a slight smile. "Our Cyan Dragon Magic Guide Technology Research Institute has been established, and now we have developed our first heavyweight equipment."

Hang Yu was all ears.

He immediately beamed with joy.

Honestly speaking, the recent period has been overwhelmingly busy.

After bringing back Tigule, Hang Yu almost left everything to Su Yunbing without a second thought. To his surprise, Su Yunbing had already set up the Cyan Dragon Magic Guide Technology Research Institute as per Hang Yu’s instructions.

Teacher Su indeed has remarkable capabilities.

Her collective personal strength is not inferior to that of Xu and Zhao.

The most prudent and wise decision Hang Yu made for the smooth expansion and growth of the Cyan Dragon Group was recruiting such a talent as Su Yunbing. With her steering the helm and a Dog assisting, it saved Hang Yu a great deal of effort and energy!

"Let’s go and have a look!"

Hang Yu pulled Er Gou out of the room, where he was engrossed in a game.

They followed Su Yunbing to the Cyan Dragon Magic Guide Technology Research Institute.

To facilitate management.

The institute was set up within the community.

Su Yunbing acquired a small factory here as the venue.

With Tigule as the center, she built a luxurious magic-guided study team.

She began to introduce the situation here.

"According to your previous instructions, it would be best for the Cyan Dragon Institute to form a joint venture with the Celestial Net. This will provide a significant advantage in acquiring materials and talent."

"After thinking it over, since a partnership is in order, and as long as we ensure that the Cyan Dragon Group’s leadership remains unaffected, we can absolutely bring in more powerful shareholders."

"Currently, the research institute’s shares are distributed as follows: Cyan Dragon Group 51%, Jiang City Military Intelligence Bureau 25%, Jiang City Celestial Net 15%, and Jiang City Spirit Relief Association 9%!"

The establishment of the Cyan Dragon Magic Guide Technology Research Institute was initiated and premised on Hang Yu bringing back the rare and valuable quasi-master-level magic guide producer, Tigule, from Lu City.

The initial thought was to form a joint venture with the Military Intelligence Bureau, to indicate willingness to share benefits with the government, thus facilitating future material purchases and talent recruitment.

Unexpectedly.

With Su Yunbing’s maneuvering.

The Cyan Dragon Group, Jiang City Military Intelligence Bureau, Jiang City Celestial Net, and Jiang City Spirit Relief Association were all brought into it, yet the Cyan Dragon Group still maintained a controlling position.

This structure was more perfect than Hang Yu had anticipated.

He only wanted to say 666!

"Aside from the chief researcher Tigule, the institute has a total of ninety people, thirty are elite magic guide teams from the group, forty are from the Celestial Net production department, and twenty are elites from the Spirit Relief Association."

Su Yunbing paused slightly before continuing: "Well, you might think there aren’t many people, but each one is an elite, and their work efficiency is astonishing."

A few people walked in.

The institute was already operational.

Er Gou was hopping around in various materials and work areas, seemingly searching for something edible. He was now a level 12 Dog, just a step away from another evolution.

Regrettably.

Most magic guide materials were inedible.

When Er Gou expressed great disappointment, his dog ears suddenly twitched, and his eyes stared intently ahead, immediately shouting, "Oh, boss, lady boss, come quickly, what is this?"

A gigantic mecha stood towering in the center of the workshop.

It was as tall as eight meters, surpassing two stories, nearing three, shrouded in dark blue, densely covered with patterns, exuding a powerful aura, and even when still, it gave off an intense sense of oppression.

Er Gou said, "This dog has never seen such a large mecha; it’s simply like the legendary Gundam."

A short and skinny, shriveled high-level goblin emerged from behind the giant magic-guided mecha and quickly stepped forward to salute, "Boss, master, this is a level 14 ’Destruction Giant Soldier’ mecha!"

Hang Yu squinted his eyes for a closer look: "Could this set of magic-guided mecha be blue quality equipment?"

Tigule nodded and said, "Indeed."

A glimmer flashed in Hang Yu’s eyes: "To actually create blue-quality magic guide equipment, truly deserving of a seasoned magic-guided study expert!"

Tigule had also witnessed the Deserted Valley Town battle on television.

He too was well aware of the formidable strength of the person before him.

Of course, compared to his strength, what commanded more awe was his future potential; judging from the current situation, becoming a Spirit Realm Lord seemed certain, but the Great Lord would not be his ultimate limit.

Although Tigule tried hard to act humble, his inherently arrogant nature remained, and upon hearing Hang Yu’s comment, he immediately said with disdain, "As long as you provide me with sufficient high-quality materials, I can craft higher-quality, higher-level magic-guide equipment, what’s the big deal!"

Hang Yu checked the attributes of the Destruction Giant Soldier.

The specifics were too lengthy, so he couldn’t be bothered to display them.

As a level 14 dark blue quality magic-guided mecha, its attributes were exceptionally powerful, with fifteen offensive and defensive means, its power close to that of a Bronze Overlord of the same level.

Of course.

Theoretical power is one thing.

Combat power is another thing.

Hang Yu believes, as long as it’s not too weak, relying on this mecha’s power, it can single-handedly surpass anyone in the Azure Dragon Organization, aside from Hang Yu.

This is the advantage of magic-guide weaponry!

Of course.

Magic-guided equipment also has its drawbacks.

First, creating a blue-quality magic-guided equipment requires consuming time, materials, and Crystal Stones many times over those needed for a blue equipment of the same level and quality.

Second, once magic-guided equipment is in use, it essentially burns money every minute and every second; the blue-quality magic-guided equipment consumes Blue Crystal Stones, and the harder you push, the more it consumes.

Overall.

Magic-guided equipment is only suitable for large-scale battles.

If you were to use magic-guide weapons even for ordinary monster hunts or boss fights.

The day’s harvest might not even offset the losses, it’s just not worth it!

"Using this in the final battle at Sand Spring City, I think would alleviate a lot of pressure," Su Yunbing said, "but the output of such equipment is not high, mainly due to the massive demand for materials."

Hang Yu’s finances are quite tight.

Although he has many Money Tree industries.

The recent short-term expenditures have been quite significant.

Despite defeating Kaliemlo in the Deserted Valley Town battle, the resources and equipment obtained far surpassed those from Eagle’s Nest Town in total value by two or three times, yet the losses from the Deserted Valley Town battle were too significant.

In repairing battle damage, replenishing troops, and compensating the fallen, the wave of expenditures left not much remaining.

Fortunately, Hang Yu has many good things in his possession.

He currently has a collection of at least ten to twenty Third or Fourth Tier Skill Stones which he doesn’t need to use, as well as several blue-quality pieces of equipment, plus various other items. If necessary, just liquidating a portion would replenish cash flow.

"No problem, do your best to produce, I’m very confident in the upcoming battle; such equipment will merely be the cherry on top."

What truly invigorated and delighted Hang Yu.

Wasn’t the equipment itself, but Tigule’s ability and the potential of the Cyan Dragon Magic Guide Technology Research Institute. The future magic-guide equipment produced here will undoubtedly sell for high profits.

Celestial Net also doesn’t have an expert-level Magic Guide Maker!

Tigule is even a highly experienced Master Level Magic-guided Master!

A rare and valuable asset indeed!

The next day.

Under the direct leadership of Mayor Huang.

Several Celestial Nets of the city successively allocated a total of sixty latest Celestial Net Defender magic-guided cannons and an additional one thousand assorted shells to Hang Yu, allowing the Azure Dragon to buy on credit.

This kind of equipment is hard to come by even if one has the money.

Hang Yu has managed to accumulate more than two hundred pieces for the Desert Province.

This is mainly attributed to the country’s desire to set Hang Yu and the Azure Dragon team as examples, establishing the Earth Dragon Realm Desert Province as a Spirit Realm test area, and Hang Yu’s consistently good relationship with the Jiang City government.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Hang Yu led his troops from Deserted Valley Town.

Firstly, arriving at a place called "Gale Town."

Gale Town is a small Centaur Race town, and the town’s Lord was originally an old member who followed Kaliemlo many years ago, almost a direct lineage and trusted confidant of Kaliemlo.

However.

Due to Kaliemlo’s various actions.

Plus, the recent decline in Kaliemlo’s power.

And the situation where over twenty Lords pledged allegiance to Hang Yu.

He realized that Kaliemlo’s regime was doomed. Although Sand Spring City still held considerable power, it was only a matter of time before it was overthrown.

It is a wise man who knows the times.

The Lord of Gale Town became the sole direct-line Lord of Kaliemlo to surrender to Hang Yu and Deserted Valley Town. Because Gale Town was close to Sand Spring City, Hang Yu set it up as the forward base for the war.

Soon.

The grand army completed its assembly!

Hang Yu stood on the walls of Gale Town.

When he looked out onto the vast and desolate wilderness, he felt an endless expanse.

Teeming relentlessly!

In the tens of thousands!

All soldiers!

Such a large-scale troop assembly was truly a wondrous sight!

As the highest commander of this army, a surge of unyielding and heroic passion naturally welled up within Hang Yu.

He said a few words to boost morale succinctly.

Unwilling to waste any more time, Hang Yu directly announced: "The whole army, march!"
