Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 754 - 663: War Machine

After the meeting disbanded, everyone began to prepare for the subsequent actions.

Kane stayed on the second floor in his office, discussing some projects with the officials responsible for construction in the territory.

Bonona and Funa headed to Zorolostan in the Platinum Country.

The assembly line of the launcher was installed there by Kane.

Although these devices did not use any magic materials, a large amount of iron and steel was still needed to manufacture them.

These metallic minerals had not yet been explored and mined in the Lantern Territory at this time.

In the Platinum Country, however, the mining of such minerals had long been fully automated, requiring only some workers to monitor and prevent issues at any time.

This led to the warehouses of the Platinum Country storing a vast amount of metal materials.

These metal materials would be transported by rail to Zorolostan and then forged into launchers in the armory.

Not only the launchers, but also some simple engineering equipment would be assembled here, although these could not be fully automated.

Most of the assembly required manual labor.

The engineering equipment assembled here was first installed in the War Fortress for portal defense.

Moreover, this time Bonona went to collect not only launchers but also various disposable items such as landmines and grenades.

These were not all personally manufactured by Kane, as Meizike also provided some suggestions and formulas.

Before long, Bonona received the batch of launchers and various consumable ammunition and appeared in Kane’s office.

Looking at Bonona, Kane raised his head and asked, "How was it, did you get it?"

Bolona nodded, "I got it, and I tried it out. I have to say it can indeed significantly enhance a bronze-level soldier’s combat power, providing a significant boost to our soldiers."

Kane nodded and then said, "You should have seen the materials I sent you before, right? Use the materials to train those bronze-level soldiers on how to coordinate the use of launchers in formation."

"No problem, I’ve already seen it before, don’t worry."

"Alright, then it’s up to you. In these few days, set aside your current tasks and focus on training these soldiers."

"Yes, Your Majesty, then I take my leave."

Bonona nodded and then left the office.

After a while, Saqi, dressed in forceful attire, emerged from the shadows.

He was another newly joined gold-level member, responsible for the intelligence system in the territory and scouting of troops.

He came before Kane and bowed, "Your Majesty, did you summon me?"

Kane nodded and then reached into his space equipment to take out two devices.

One resembled goggles, and the other looked like a small in-ear earpiece.

Kane picked up the goggle-like device and handed it to Saqi, subsequently explaining it to him.

"Wearing this will allow your soldiers to scout distant conditions clearly at night and gauge the enemy’s strength roughly."

This device was inspired by tactical glasses from Kane’s former world, and Kane used it as inspiration to create it.

Saqi was pleasantly surprised when he heard this and took it, then wore it on his head.

Through the lens in front and the adjuster on the side, it could be adjusted for long-distance viewing like a telescope.

Then it switched to a black-and-white view, allowing them to see their surroundings clearly at night.

With further adjustment, it became an energy vision like that of Eagle Eye.

The energy vision used the same technology as the surveillance camera lenses in the sky.

Having used Eagle Eye for many years, Kane had long since mastered the skill and could replicate it rather perfectly using magic power machinery.

"This is so handy. With these glasses, my troops will become Your Majesty’s most precise eyes," Saqi promised excitedly.

Kane smiled, nodded, and said no more, then handed him the earpiece as well.

"This links with the magic mirror and allows for voice communication within a range, which should be very suitable for you."

This device was very simple and easy to understand, and Saqi accepted it as well.

"These items are all in the guild’s warehouse. You can take them as you need, and Candlelight will record it. That’s all, if there’s nothing else, you can go back to your tasks."

After listening, Saqi nodded and then withdrew.

The earpiece device had actually been distributed by Kane into the hands of all commanders and captains.

After all, such a useful item must be utilized.

Having dealt with some affairs, Kane left the government hall, and upon exiting the City of Light, he conjured a motorcycle-shaped vehicle, speeding towards the distant War Fortress.

It seemed that the internal transportation routes of the Lantern Territory also needed to be scheduled.

Currently, Explorers could still travel quickly using the vehicles Kane previously created, but it was a bit troublesome for the civilians living within the territory.

The speed and capacity of transportation were also an important factor in enhancing the development speed of the territory.

The speed of the motorcycle vehicle was extremely fast, moving like a stream of light on the ground.

The blue flame ejected from the back left a pale blue shadow in the air.

With no pedestrians or significant obstacles along the way.

Kane quickly arrived at the War Fortress thanks to the speed.

By now, the War Fortress had been expanded into a real large-scale fortress.

Gray-black stones inlaid a wide and thick city wall over ten meters high, with large watchtowers visible at intervals, equipped with a gigantic cannon.

These cannons were also the defensive devices Kane constructed during this period and were installed up there.

Even on the city walls, you could see the array of launchers, which looked very much like machine guns.

These rapid-firing launchers that consumed massive amounts of magic power at least required Silver-level soldiers to control them.

Due to the high consumption of magic power, there was even a new gathering magic array equipped at the base, which could only be temporarily used for defense.

After all, not everyone is like Kane, who can recklessly fire these weapons even at the Silver stage.

The magic power of these soldiers could hardly compare to that of the explorers. After all, in the dungeon, they were just ordinary monsters or even cannon fodder.

Entering the gates of the War Fortress.

Afterward, one could see many explorers in the plaza of the War Fortress, including Kreya and the others who were all present.

What attracted them here, naturally, was the rows of giant steel constructs placed in the middle of the plaza.

Those were giant steel constructs shaped like spiders.

The combined height of the spider legs and body reached five to six meters, with a long, slender cannon mounted on its back, and its sides and head had launcher ports.

The spider-like configuration allowed it to adapt to any terrain, standing stably even on cliff walls.

The head featured four eyes resembling cameras, which emitted a red glow upon activation, constantly surveying the surrounding environment.

The Eagle Eye technology was also employed.

These were armor units created by Kane.

Due to constraints of time and materials, there were only a total of 18 War Spiders.

Each one was a large moving gun platform, capable of harvesting flesh on the battlefield.

The massive cannon on its back could shoot enormous explosive rounds that effectively damaged any enemy below Gold level.

The launcher muzzle on its sides and head fired armor-piercing bullets, lethal for Copper-level soldiers upon contact, and severely damaging Silver-level soldiers if directly hit, rendering them incapable of fighting.

The armor on its body also used some magic materials, giving it extremely high defense power, making it difficult to penetrate.

Especially the legs used for movement, which Kane directly manufactured using Rock Steel to prevent destruction and loss of mobility.

Seeing Kane’s arrival, Longbei ran over excitedly, patting his leg and asking, "Hey brother, these are surely your creations, can I have a go?"

With their obvious Kane-style design, there was no need to guess.

Seeing Longbei’s pleading look, Kane shook his head helplessly, "It’s not that I don’t want you to operate it, but from its initial design it wasn’t intended for human operation."

"It’s controlled by an Intelligent Core I created, which doesn’t require human intervention; it’s fully automated, so there’s nothing I can do."

"Ah, alas."

Upon hearing Kane’s explanation, Longbei sighed in disappointment.

But Kane suddenly added, "Although this can’t let you operate, there are other things you can handle."

With that, Kane headed toward a large warehouse not far away, and Longbei followed immediately upon hearing it.

Kreya and the others also came over from a distance.

Kane took out a key and unlocked the warehouse door, which was a closed-off section with no doors or windows, and was pitch-black inside, making it hard to see.

Kane switched on the nearby lights, instantly illuminating the warehouse, and the items inside were revealed to everyone.

Everyone widened their eyes, slightly open-mouthed, revealing how surprised they were at this sight.

Inside the warehouse were Kane’s giant mechas.

Although not reaching the over ten-meter height of the mechas Kane frequently piloted, each of these large mechas was eight or nine meters tall.

The streamlined metal appearance had sharp angles, with the equipment and magic power lines engraved on them, making them extraordinarily stylish.

Just standing there, they exuded immense intimidating power.

"These things were constructed based on my previous mechas as real products, but they are still prototypes and can’t yet perfectly perform on the battlefield. They need more experimentation and research."

After saying this, Kane smiled, addressing Kreya and the others, "But it’s no problem letting you pilot them for fun."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, several people’s eyes lit up with excitement, as they had longed to pilot Kane’s flashy giant mechas.

However, since there were only two prototype mechas in the warehouse, Kane had to let Longbei and Lilu ride them first.

Those two made the most noise, leaving him no choice.

"Once you enter the cockpit, release your auxiliary robots to link them with the mechas, as they will assist you in operating them."

Hearing Kane’s words, the two nodded and then released the intelligent helpers Kane had previously made for them.

Then the two flew into the cockpit.

The entire warehouse was designed as a storage unit for mechas, with maintenance arms nearby and elevators leading to the cockpit in the chest area.

The two flew to the chest area, where a slot lifted just right.

The two flew in directly.

As the chest area closed upon their entry, the mecha’s twin eyes lit up with blue light.

Then the entire warehouse started operating, as the main entrance Kane and the others entered opened fully, and the ceiling lifted upward.

The mechanical storage for the two mechas moved forward along the surrounding rails.

This massive noise attracted the explorers in the plaza, watching those War Spiders.

They all came running over.

And Longbei and Yoyo, in the chest cockpit, stood in the middle of the magic array, linking their senses with the entire mecha.

They were able to control skills as if they were maneuvering their own bodies.

Then everyone saw the first steps taken by the two giant steel constructs.
