Baiyu stared at everything around him, gaining a rough understanding of this mechanical creation.
It can effectively isolate the interference from the Simulation Realm, its interior forming an independent environment, possibly even purifying the air.
Clearly, this Mechanical Fortress can create a whole world when faced with combat or other special circumstances.
"We've arrived. I rarely come to the Steel Fortress. This is the assembly point for the Mechanical Corps, usually buried deep underground.
On normal days, only a small team is here for maintenance.
It is only designated as an emergency assembly point when special circumstances arise and the Mechanical Corps is dispersed."
Cha Shan also doesn't know much about the Mechanical Fortress.
But the two of them didn't stay at this gate for long before a small team of armed soldiers rushed over.
"This is the second team action group of the Mechanical Corps, responsible for the handover work. May I ask who you are?"
The leader of this small team asked warily.
"Cha Shan, the deputy captain of the third brigade of the Mechanical Corps, the number is 9035..."
After Cha Shan finished stating the number.
The leader took out a machine, inputted the number, and then used it to scan Cha Shan's face.
After obtaining results that matched the information.
He then respectfully saluted, "Greetings, Deputy Captain. Your verification is fine. However, a pollution check is still needed. And this is..."
His gaze turned to Baiyu.
Seeing his face, he felt somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall where he had seen him.
"I am Baiyu."
Baiyu said concisely: "Whatever tests you need to do, make it quick. We are still surrounded by demons. The gap I created with artillery support will soon be filled. So I need to meet your leader immediately. I know how to get out."
Hearing Baiyu say this.
These soldiers' faces showed excitement.
"Alright, we'll report immediately. Director Bai, please wait a moment."
One soldier hurriedly left.
During this waiting period, Baiyu also underwent information checks and pollution level examinations, all without issues.
Soon.
In a luxurious room.
Wearing metallic armor, with a Warrior Medal on the chest, a middle-aged man in his forties met with Baiyu.
The interior of this room was lavishly decorated.
There was even a huge LCD screen on the wall, showing the situation of intense firefighting outside.
"Director Bai, I am Jiang Han, the leader of the Mechanical Corps."
This middle-aged man in his forties did not take Baiyu lightly because he looked young, showing great politeness.
While the other was evaluating Baiyu.
Baiyu was also staring at him.
The Warrior Medal is usually a symbol of glory for the Imperial soldiers, only awarded to those who have achieved significant military accomplishments.
This Jiang Han's military rank.
Is Imperial Lieutenant General.
The Imperial General is the highest rank except for the Marshal; Lieutenant General is a rare position in the vast Imperial Army.
A person able to lead an important department like the Mechanical Corps is indeed no ordinary figure.
"Captain Jiang, we are all sensible people here, so I won't beat around the bush. You should have seen the current situation. What are your thoughts?"
Baiyu said in a low voice: "Though we have broken out of the encirclement, the demons are in hot pursuit behind, and it is difficult to shake them off."
Jiang Han nodded, "Director Bai, you are right. Previously, I was going to use the Mechanical Fortress Thunder God to fiercely attack one side, creating a breach, and then engage in a seesaw battle with these demons within the city.
However.
Since you are here, Director Bai, there are other solutions to this matter.
Like that artillery barrage just now, how many more times can you command the Legendary Ship to fire? If we could get it to fire twice more, we might be able to destroy this group of demons!"
Jiang Han said this with a glint of cold light in his eyes, evidently bearing deep hatred for the demons.
However, Baiyu shook his head: "You know my current capabilities are not enough to fully operate the Legendary Ship.
That artillery barrage just now was already the result of me using all my strength.
However.
I can take you out, Captain Jiang. Currently, the outside of Mountain City is also under attack by demons, and the situation should not be underestimated."
Jiang Han, hearing Baiyu's words, had his already serious expression become even more grave.
"Director Bai, can you really take us out? You must know that the positions within the Simulation Realm constantly change. It may seem like we are moving here, but in reality, we are in another place."
"Yes, I can sense the position of the Legendary Ship in the Outer World, so it is impossible to get lost.
Furthermore.
The edges of the Simulation Realm do not have demons lingering.
Most demons are now gathered in the center of the military zone, seemingly concentrating on attacking several buildings."
Jiang Han found Baiyu's words compelling.
If they could leave now, it would not be a bad plan, but he also thought of Yao Shuimei still in the Simulation Realm.
This demon's Simulation Realm is quite unusual this time.
Yao Shuimei is surely battling the core demon of this Simulation Realm now. If she can't be helped to win the fight, Mountain City would indeed be in danger.
Mountain City can still control the situation for now.
Once this Simulation Realm erupts on a large scale, the consequences would be uncontrollable.
"Captain Jiang, I fully understand your concerns. I came this time to rescue Director Yao.
But up until now.
The situation in the military zone has completely spiraled out of control.
We haven't been able to get any information on Director Yao, and it's impossible to determine her whereabouts immediately.
So the safest thing currently.
Is to leave first, then consolidate forces and plan long-term.
One must know that humanity has never fallen in the confrontation against demons precisely because humans can more flexibly concentrate their power."
Baiyu's persuasion was not without effect.
After deep thought, the commander said in a deep voice: "Director Bai's observations are extremely reasonable, but now that there's an opportunity, we should strive to rescue more people.
From what I know.
There are at least ten thousand troops within the military zone, all from regular army, with very strong fighting capabilities.
Although they are all squad units left to defend the camps.
Their strength should not be underestimated.
According to my knowledge, there's a Shadow Warrior camp nearby, with roughly five hundred people.
If we could bring them along, it would be a great boon to our subsequent operations."
Baiyu pondered for a moment: "Agreed, but if things become impossible, we must retreat immediately."
At such a point.
Jiang Han dared not be overconfident. After nodding, he ordered the Mechanical Fortress to fire full force and break through in one direction.
The Shadow Warriors are the kind Baiyu saw last time, clad in black robes.
They appear, like the Blood Knight Order, to be a special force of the Empire, not often seen on ordinary days.
Baiyu observed all external action on the giant LCD screen inside the Mechanical Fortress.
However.
In the current situation, Baiyu didn't need to do much further.
He took the opportunity to tour the inside of the Mechanical Fortress.
