Chapter 765: Storm
A few days later.
A large number of ships docked at the Wanghaicheng Pier in the Yao Kingdom's capital, and thousands of survivors from Scar Island landed. While rescuing a large number of missing people, another piece of news spread that the devil army attacked Scar Island...
Royal City.
In the corridor, Princess Junru, wearing luxurious clothes, followed by a maid and four soldiers wearing combat uniforms and carrying guns, passed by a beautiful garden and walked towards the big house. This is the residence of the old king of Yao. When you walk to the door, you can smell a scent of herbs. Princess Junru sighed and walked in with the maid welcoming her. The maid and four soldiers stood outside the door.
Entering the door is the living room. Going around the living room and entering the bedroom, there is an old man with a haggard face lying on the luxurious big bed. It is Princess Junru's father.
"Father, your daughter greets you."
"Ahem... family members don't need to be so restrained, come... come and sit next to me... ahem..." The old king said tiredly while lying on the bed.
Princess Junru obediently sat beside the old king. Seeing her father's condition getting worse day by day, her heart ached. Although the royal family had no family affection, that was relative to the situation of having many children. No matter how you counted, the old king only had this one daughter, so there was no need for intrigue. Princess Junru and the old king lived much better than other royal families.
"Father, I..." Princess Junru didn't wait for her to finish.
"Rue'er, don't call me father, just call me dad. We don't need to say those useless names... cough cough!"
"Yes, dad."
"Ah... still so friendly cough cough..." The old king showed a happy look on his face.
"Dad, the fleet that went to Scar Island today returned, and brought back all the people on Scar Island. It is said that zombies appeared there. I just called the mechanical empire messenger Mofang. He said that there were high-level zombies suppressed in the ancient ruins of the island. It used to be a zombie prison, but... something unexpected happened." Princess Junru was worried.
"Did they take down Scar Island? Zombies? Ahem... They used tens of thousands of people to attack Scar Island."
"Two hundred people and two ironclad ships, I can't believe it either, but General Tian said that there were indeed only two ironclad ships and two hundred people attacking. Those two ironclad ships were very powerful and could launch thunder bombs. The warships of Big Scar were blown to pieces in an instant. And... the soldiers sent by the Mechanical Empire were all devils. These were all said by the people from Scar Island. They were covered in steel and had red eyes, but according to the description, those so-called devils used the weapons used by the guards, called firearms." Princess Junru briefly described what happened on Scar Island.
"Two ships... Two hundred people... The Mechanical Empire is not ordinary... I hope the number is not too large." The old emperor leaned on the quilt and looked at the roof with a bad face.
"We don't know whether it's right or wrong to form an alliance with the Mechanical Empire, but there's really no way out at the moment. The coalition of seven countries is ready to move. If it weren't for the assassination of the Mechanical Empire, they would have started long ago. The Mechanical Empire is really terrible, and there is no trace of the assassination." At this point, Princess Junru looked down at her wrist. She deliberately put the bracelet outside before coming in, otherwise there would be no secrets during the whole monitoring.
"Yes, my Yao country is declining and deserted by all the relatives. The ministers are colluding with various countries everywhere to get benefits. Even the concubines in the palace asked their relatives to find new backers quickly... If other countries have wise kings, it's not impossible to merge, but where are the kings who can be on the stage in the coastal areas? Although the origin of the Mechanical Empire is unknown, it can save our Yao country... cough... There are no devils in this world, and there are only those greedy and cruel dignitaries."
The old king who saw through life and death unconsciously said a classic quote.
"The seven nations have already started to take action, and the death of the generals could not be delayed for too long. The Mechanical Empire's messenger Mofang told me that their army will come to Wanghai City in the next few days. I hope they are not here to force the emperor to abdicate..." Princess Junru looked out the window and fell into deep thought.
The old king couldn't bear to see his daughter overworked, so he thought about it and interrupted the topic.
"By the way, your guard said, cough cough... I have lungs... lung cancer?"
Princess Junru remembered what happened a few days ago when she brought a guard to see her father. After taking a look, the guard said that her father had lung cancer, and it was in the late stage. At present, it is impossible to cure it according to the medical skills of the Shenwu Continent, unless there are immortal masters who improve the elixir. He didn't say how the Mechanical Empire treated it or how he saw it.
"Well, lung cancer, lung lesions, is a very serious disease." Princess Junru didn't say the word "late stage". In her heart, she still hoped that these were all nonsense, but in fact, she also knew that what the guard said must be true.
"I'm old... I'm useless. My biggest wish is to see you safe and happy... Many people are watching me and waiting for me to die, haha..." The old king laughed at himself.
Boom...!
There were lightning and thunder outside the window, and soon it rained heavily, making the leaves outside the window crackle. The thunderstorm seemed to foreshadow the future of Yao Kingdom. Princess Junru grabbed the old king's withered hands and said nothing. The guard given to him by the Mechanical Empire had another word, if he was lucky, the old king could live another month...
…………
Volcano Island.
The battleship in the huge factory has been basically completed. After so much hard work, it is finally coming to an end. The launch or completion of the Mechanical Empire ship is not like the activities of the Earth humans, such as wearing red and hanging ribbons and smashing champagne. Some just check the data and do various tasks. Fifty intelligent robots are busy on the battleship. The battleship is too big to rely on the intelligent program to operate it automatically. The Rubik's Cube simply fixed fifty combat robots to operate the battleship.
The painting work has been completed, and two engineering robots are installing the Mechanical Empire emblem on the battleship.
The emblem is the Rubik's Cube starship logo, which is simple, direct and eye-catching. The hull number is 001, and it is also called Battleship 001, which is simple, direct and rough.
After leaving two hundred combat robots on the Clam Girl Island, the Rubik's Cube flew to the factory to prepare for the battleship to enter the water. Everything is ready. The motor above the sluice is running, and the huge sluice slowly rises. The seawater rushes back into the dock. As the sluice rises, the seawater entering is getting faster and faster. More and more seawater, what needs to be done now is to wait for the seawater to lift the battleship so that it can be towed out of the dock.
The seawater in the dock was surging, and the Rubik's Cube stood on the command platform and watched quietly. It would take some time to fill the seawater.
"Creator, the dock cannot be idle and do nothing. What type of warship should be built next?" asked an engineering robot with fire.
The Rubik's Cube thought about it.
"The equipment in the shipyard has been upgraded. It's time to build some advanced warships. Then build the Longguo 52D destroyer, with a displacement of 7,000 tons, a length of 157 meters and a width of 19 meters. I will use the missiles it carries to attack those flying monks. The focus is on detection devices and high-tech missiles. The blueprint data has been sent."
"Data received successfully."
The Rubik's Cube stood motionless on the command platform. The seawater in the dock has almost stabilized, and the battleship is slowly rising...
