Mechanical God Emperor

Chapter 24 – Fernandro Principality’s Decision

Translator: Xaiomoge

The capital of the Fernandro Principality, the Narona City, within the palace.

A blue-haired and green-eyed, hook-nosed, and tall and sturdy as a bear man sat on the throne. His gaze brimmed with coldness and dignity as he overlooked the hall. This blue-haired and green-eyed man was the current Archduke Fernandro.

The current Archduke Fernandro was one of the most outstanding archdukes in the history of the Fernandro Principality. Under his leadership, the Fernandro Principality was thriving, it was several times more flourishing than in the past.

Under the watchful gaze of Archduke Fernandro, the ministers were restless and frightened. Archduke Fernando had a very distinct policy about rewards and punishments. His rewards were very generous, but his punishments were similarly very generous and difficult to bear.

Archduke Fernandro spoke in a husky voice, stressing each syllable: “I want to know the origins of the Steel Lord Yang Ye!”

The ministers lowered their heads, not daring to face Archduke Fernandro. Yang Feng emerged less than half a year ago. Prior to this, the ministers didn’t pay the Autumn Leaf Town that lied in a remote corner any attention. Who could have imagined that in less than three months’ time, even the Black City would be captured.

Archduke Fernandro’s gaze moved and fell on a middle-aged man with grizzled hair. The middle-aged man was Archer, the minister of defense of the Fernando Principality.

Archer uttered slowly: “Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, Zhao Jiang of the Autumn Leaf Town suddenly occupied the Black Rock Town over two months ago, and he commanded the mechanical legion of the Steel Lord Yang Ye. Immediately after, the Giant Stone City dispatched troops on a punitive expedition against the rebel, yet the troops were defeated by the mechanical legion of the Steel Lord. Then, the mechanical legion raided the Black City and murdered its master, Bonney. According to my conjectures, Zhao Jiang probably obtained a relic of the 6th Warlock Dynasty and got its mechanical legion.”

“The 6th Warlock Dynasty!”

“Is that mechanical legion a product of the 6th Warlock Dynasty?”

“The mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty could slay terrifying beings such as gods! If that really is the mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty, how can we resist it?”

“...”

After hearing the name the 6th Warlock Dynasty, the complexions of the ministers turned extremely pale and they commented.

Among the Eight Warlock Dynasties, the 2nd Warlock Dynasty was a dynasty teeming with taboo research and the 6th Warlock Dynasty was a dynasty teeming with secret treasure refinement. The 6th Warlock Dynasty was also known as the Secret Treasure Dynasty. Golems were formidable battle weapons developed by the Secret Treasure Dynasty. In its time, the mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty conquered many planes and slayed countless gods and fiends.

Golem Lord Acanthe, the highest masterpiece of the 6th Warlock Dynasty, was one of the strongest beings at the time. Later, due to unknown circumstances, Acanthe was enticed by the fiends to command one-third of the mechanical legion to rebel against the 6th Warlock Dynasty, which led to the destruction of the 6th Warlock Dynasty.

After the destruction of the 6th Warlock Dynasty, Acanthe wandered about until it reached a powerful primary material plane, occupied it, and became its ruler. Now, the primary material plane was called the ‘Core of Mechanics’ Plane. It was one of the strongest and most terrifying planes known to humans.

Many fiends and gods traveled to the ‘Core of Mechanics’ Plane in an attempt to kill the supposedly already very weak Acanthe. However, the formidable beings from other planes that went to that plane had become specimens hung in front of the mechanical gate. Over time, there were no formidable beings that would dare to venture to the ‘Core of Mechanics’ Plane.

The mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty was ferocious and formidable. If a single fighter class golem from the strongest mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty were to venture to the Turandot Subcontinent, it would be able sweep across the entire subcontinent with impunity.

Archer said solemnly: “No need to panic. Even if he acquired the mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty, the mechanical legion already doesn’t has much strength. According to our intelligence, the fighting strength of the golems is currently only at the Knight rank. Besides, most golems are of the melee type. They should be defective products. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to get a hold of them. We can easily wipe them out so long as we deploy the Blood Bat Knights.”

“The Blood Bat Knights! If it’s them, then they should be able to crush those golems!”

“If there are only Knight rank golems, then there’s nothing to worry about!”

“They are antiques from hundreds of thousands of years ago! They should’t have much strength.”

“...”

The complexions of the ministers of the Fernandro Principality became slightly better as they consoled themselves. If they were to face the elite mechanical legion of the 6th Warlock Dynasty, which was capable of slaying fiends and gods, they would be powerless to resist. However, against defective products, they were confident in their ability to withstand it.

Archduke Fernandro spoke unhurriedly: “The Eye of Demonic Snake and the Fang of White Bear agreed to ally with us in order to exterminate Yang Ye. I need the council’s authorization to mobilize 100,000 magic stones for military expenditure.”

Magic stones were energy crystals with mysterious power. The standard size of magic stones was approximately the size of the knuckle of an adult’s index finger. Magic stone was a treasure used in alchemy, pharmacology, and a variety of other fields. Magic stones were a unit of measurement in the world of Warlocks. The price of a magic stone was approximately 100 gold coins or 200,000 copper coins. 100,000 magic stones was equivalent to 10,000,000 gold coins or 20,000,000,000 copper coins. Archduke Fernandro required the authorization of the council to mobilize such a large sum.

“Approved!”

“Your Majesty, I will do my best to pass this motion in the council!”

“...”

The ministers seconded the motion.

One day later, the council of the Fernandro Principality convened secretly and quickly passed the motion to transfer the 100,000 magic stones.

Three days later.

The Blood Dragon Mountains was a vast mountain range covered by boundless woods located 100 kilometers to the north of the capital of the Fernandro Principality. The Blood Dragon Mountains belonged entirely to the Fernandro Family. Apart from those who received approval of the Fernandro Family, anyone who entered the mountain range would be executed.

The Blood Dragon Mountains were very rich in natural resources. Every year, the Fernandro Family received great wealth from the mountain range.

Deep in the Blood Dragon Mountains, in a valley surrounded by mountain peaks hundreds of meters tall. The valley was covered with caves of different sizes. Occasionally, huge bats would fly out of the caves. The huge bats were dyed red as if covered in blood, and had 10-meter-long wingspans and sharp fangs.
