A different world game? A different world game!

After selecting those high-level combat forces.

The next step will require a large number of troops.

Then, Leilia's gaze fell on the even larger array.

Her gaze swept quickly across the area, and she soon discerned which of these units belonged to which order, which units had been to the Abyss, and which units had fought in Taril.

You should know that Lelia had made many contingency plans in the Abyss for this mission.

We have obtained detailed information from the channel's personnel in various regions and acquired a great deal of archival information.

After much discussion with Apis and the others, the number of spots was finally decided.

So when she saw these teams, she already had a general idea in mind, and various legion options came to her mind.

"The Sixth Legion and the Second Legion of the Lightbringers, step forward! The Taliel 'Tearer' Mercenary Group, step forward! The Blood Pit Fortress 'Skullbreaker' Company, step forward!..."

One by one, the names of those who had earned great fame on the battlefield were called, and elite squads composed of level 10 peak experts broke away from the main force and gathered at the rear of the Soul Guardians.

They may not have any legendary figures leading the charge for the time being, but their fighting spirit, battlefield experience, and teamwork are equally indispensable forces in fighting deep in the abyss.

After they were chosen, smiles appeared on their faces to varying degrees. When they arrived here and saw the other people who had been chosen with them, they knew that this was no joke.

Which of their colleagues is not more capable than them? Which one can they confidently overpower?

Every single one of them was a spectacular and dazzling legion.

So when they arrived here, much of their confidence had been eroded. Whether they were chosen or not was something they had anticipated, so of course they were pleasantly surprised to be selected.

Leilia's selection was precise and efficient; each team she selected represented top-tier combat power in a particular area.

Blake silently took notes and talked with Alyris.

After all, deciding who gets to leave requires adjusting the current power deployment.

These are all elite troops that were squeezed out of the weak.

After Lelia selected these people, they would all be responsible for the subsequent emergency plans, which would keep them busy for a long time.

The process lasted for several hours. When the last roll call was given, a new team, reduced in size but with a breathtakingly sharp edge, was displayed in front of the reviewing stand.

25,000 people!
Among them are over three hundred legendary powerhouses. The rest are all carefully selected elites from the peak of level ten.

The power contained within this force is enough to unleash a massive wave in the main world, and now, they will serve as the spearhead, piercing the heart of the abyss.

"This is our Abyss Task Force!"

Leilia's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

It should be noted that this time, the Night's Watch's elite forces were truly mobilized.

And she was the one leading it.

For a battle fanatic like her, how could she not be excited, especially when it came to killing those damned demons?

"Rest, equip yourselves, and await orders!"

An aura of chilling solemnity rose to the sky; the silent response was more powerful than any shout.

Apis and the others stayed behind to begin preparations for the entire force.

Leilia was dragged away by Alyris and the others.

……

Forging area, the core furnace of Ashfire Keep.

The scorching heat distorted the air, and Sergio Greyhill was only wearing his signature adamantite breastplate.

His bronze-colored muscles gleamed with a metallic sheen under the firelight, and beads of sweat instantly evaporated as they rolled down his body. His enormous hand was caressing a piece of abyssal black iron that emitted a deep, cold light and contained terrifying energy.

Leilia stood to the side, her gaze focused.

Ares and Potter were also nearby.

"Girl, have you chosen your equipment?"

Sergio didn't even look up; his voice remained clear amidst the roar of the bellows.

"Still your usual tricks? Or should I come up with something new?"

Leilia was deep in thought at that moment.

Once he was brought here by Alireza, he knew what to do; Sergio was clearly going to create a top-tier, custom-made piece of equipment for him.

This made Lelia somewhat excited.

Her equipment wasn't bad, but why not get new equipment?

She also wanted to see the limits of Sergio's skills over the past few years.

Hearing Sergio's words.

Leilia grinned, her eyes blazing with a pure and wild desire.

"No! This time I want something new! Something handy! Something that can cleave open a deep abyss!"

“Hahaha, I love forging wild weapons, tell me!” Sergio tapped the red-hot anvil, sparks flying.

"Double-edged!" Lelia swung her hand violently, making a furious slashing motion. "A massive battle axe! The heavier the better! It should swing like a storm! It should strike like a meteorite impact! I have only one requirement—"

She stared into Sergio's eyes and said, slowly and deliberately, "It must be able to break through all evil defenses! Its power must be immense, and everything must be geared towards eliminating evil and demons."

"Ideally, it should be the kind that can cleave the demon lord in two in one go."

Of course, it sounds a bit like bragging.

Upon hearing this, Sergio not only didn't frown, but instead let out a deafening, hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha! Good! What a brilliant move to shatter the demon lord! That's more like it! That's the kind of thinking a powerful warrior should have."

The wilder and more boastful the idea, the more Sergio likes it.

What happened to the Demon Lord?
He was about to use the axe he had forged to split the other man in two.

He suddenly grabbed a huge forging hammer next to him, the hammerhead instantly glowing red from the furnace fire.

"Using Titan Iron as the main ingredient! Mixed with 'Purification Crystal' that I got from Popper, which can burn through chaotic energy! I'll personally inscribe the most domineering 'Exorcism' and 'Pressure' rune arrays for you!"

"Boom!"

The massive forging hammer slammed into the red-hot metal blank, scattering dazzling sparks and deafening roars.

"Just you wait, girl!"

Sergio's voice drowned out the clanging of the iron, filled with the supreme confidence of the Golden King of Dwarves and his fanaticism for his craft.

"I'll forge you an axe worthy of this demon-slaying operation! Let those abyssal bastards see what 'Wrath of the Night's Watch' really means!"

The roaring fire illuminated Sergio's focused figure as he wielded his giant hammer.

It also reflected the fighting spirit burning in Lelia's eyes, a spirit more intense than the hearth fire.

“Let’s go, tactical master,” Alyris’s cool voice interrupted Leilia’s gaze at the forging. “A sharp blade alone cannot cleave the abyss’s festering sores. Poppot has the ‘teeth’ and ‘armor’ you need.”

Upon hearing this, Poppot stroked his white fur, which was being further ruffled by the heat of the furnace, with his tiny paws and impatiently flicked his tail.

"Tsk! You think everyone's brain is just about hacking and slashing like you? That hellhole, the Abyss, without some good stuff, even the strongest warrior will be devoured by the Chaos! Follow me!"

They left the bustling and scorching forging area and entered a building with a completely different style.

The massive alloy door slid open silently, releasing a unique odor that mingled with alchemical potions, ozone, and the lingering smell of cooled metal. Behind the door lay not the cluttered laboratory one might expect, but a breathtakingly vast space.

The Treasury of the Alchemy Temple: Prototype Showcase

This is a honeycomb-shaped hall with an extremely high dome.

Countless individual display cases made of transparent alchemical crystals floated neatly like giant crystal lattices, emitting a soft, cool light.

Each display case either quietly displays an alchemical artifact or floats a miniature but incredibly detailed model.

A soft light shone down from below, illuminating the crystallization of wisdom and power.

Everywhere you look, there is a dazzling array of goods.

Leilia immediately spotted the original model of the first-generation magic-powered spear, "Eye of Fire," with its rough barrel, bulky energy tank, and a holographic image playing next to it, showing it spewing flames on a simulated battlefield.

The miniature model of the city defense magic power turret is slowly rotating, with the muzzle emitting a light that simulates charging, while below it plays a stunning video of it shattering a rock giant with a single shot.

A miniature model of an exquisitely crafted floating tower floats silently, its body covered in flowing runes. Below, it projects images of itself casting an orderly light on the abyss battlefield and suppressing the demonic black mist.

There was even a scaled-down projection of the "Fork" fortress next to it.

A miniature "iron flower structure" model, composed of countless metal parts, is simulating a transformation, switching from a defensive barrier to a mobile turret. The video shows its power in clearing out constructs in the Titan ruins.

It is filled with more ingenious ideas that have never been put into actual combat.

There are restraint devices that can launch energy nets to bind targets, drills that release magical sound waves to disintegrate rock structures, and even small single-person flying wing models simulating aerial evasive maneuvers...

Each display case is accompanied by a detailed text description and a holographic projection of a real-world test video.

This is not just a warehouse, but also a museum that provides a direct view of the Night's Watch's alchemical wisdom and war potential.

Of course, not every one is useful; many can be replaced by the simplest and most direct magic.

Especially after the widespread adoption of data, many alchemy equipment items have become mere toys.

Wow…

Even though Lelia was used to seeing large-scale battlefields, she couldn't help but let out a soft gasp of amazement.

Behind every item here lies the hard work of countless Night Watch craftsmen and alchemists, as well as their efforts to fight against the Abyss or the Void.

“Don’t just watch the show,” Popper’s voice pulled her back to reality. The ratman engineer led them straight to a slightly darker area deep in the hall.

The display cases here are bathed in a predominantly dark blue light, and the air seems to carry a hint of simulated sulfur and decay.

"This is the place for you—the Abyss Specialization Zone."

Specialized equipment depot.

The exhibits here are clearly more targeted, and the design style carries a rough, utilitarian aesthetic:

Weapons are no longer dominated by traditional swords and knives, but have become more complex devices with energy cores.

Shoulder-mounted hand cannons capable of firing powerful purification beams, powered gauntlets with chaotic magic filters, chainsaw swords engraved with order runes, and even miniaturized mechanical arms capable of throwing order bombs.

The armor models are all covered with a thick anti-corrosion coating, with special sealing designs at the joints, and the surface is engraved with fine runes to resist mental corruption.

The armor plates are significantly thicker, sacrificing some flexibility in exchange for improved survivability in the harsh environment of the abyss.

The vehicle is a small alchemical tracked vehicle model with an extremely high chassis. The body is covered with anti-magic armor, and a purification crystal emitter is mounted on the top.

There is also a smaller version similar to the hover scorpion, but instead of a transport container, it carries a multi-barrel launcher at its tail.

Auxiliary equipment includes energy shield generators of various shapes, high-efficiency abyssal environment gas masks, portable order beacon enhancers, and so on.

Popper patted a display case with his paw in a smug way.

"See? This is tailor-made for the Abyss. No matter how powerful your new axe is, others need these things to protect them so they can be more effective."

Leilia's sharp gaze swept over the equipment, but she already had the most pressing question in her mind.

"Popot, where's 'Iron Hoof'?"

She asked directly, her voice filled with undeniable concern.

"Chocobos that can charge into the abyss, and their armor? Our previous alchemy vehicles were too cumbersome; a raid requires speed and agility."

Popper's mustache twitched smugly.

"Hmph! You think I've been blowing up labs all these years? I've already taken care of it."

"Corrosion-resistant and reinforced feathers, a mental barrier implanted in the collar, specially made hooves to prevent acid and slipping, plus training to adapt to the abyss environment..."

"The armor is all set up, lightweight and highly protective, and there are even mounting points for the gadgets you chose. Don't worry, I'll show you the actual product later, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Of course, the greatest effort comes from the animal trainers, who are breeding animals to adapt to the abyss environment.

Hearing Popper's affirmative reply, Leilia felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

With a mount that can traverse the abyss, her tactics can be fully unleashed.

Only after resolving the issues that mattered most to her could she focus her attention on the things in front of her.

Soon, her attention was focused on the new equipment in front of her, and she began to examine each piece one by one, simulating in her mind the effects in the abyss and whether the way it was used was reasonable.

It took her almost half a day to finally form a rough idea in her mind.

Her goal was clear: lightweight, efficient, and capable of quickly forming combat effectiveness.

"this!"

She pointed to a model of a crystal cluster suspended in a pillar of pale blue light. The crystal emitted a soft, orderly glow, and a projection below showed it hovering above a five-person squad, forming a protective shield and firing purifying rays to destroy small groups of lesser demons.

"【Portable Purification Crystal】One is provided for every five people in a team. It purifies, protects, and can even counter harassment. A must-have!"

"Hmm, good taste."

Popper nodded.

"The energy core is stable, and the coverage and power of the rays have been optimized through deep-sea combat simulation tests."

Leilia moved her finger and tapped a sharply styled, spear-like shoulder-mounted hand cannon model.

The model demonstrated how it instantly fired a condensed golden beam of light, piercing the chest of a berserker demon.

"【Miniature Holy Light Hand Cannon】Magic-to-positive-energy ray, used to clear out small fry, weaken powerful enemies, and supplement ranged firepower. I need a lot of it!"

"It has concentrated power and consumes far less energy than cannons, making it suitable for small-team operations."

Popper agreed.

Finally, her gaze fell upon a group of unremarkable spherical models that resembled metal pomegranates.

The footage shows such a sphere exploding, unleashing a golden shockwave of positive energy that melts demons within its radius as they scream, while wounded human warriors' injuries rapidly heal in the light.

"【Holy Radiance Bomb】Order buff, demon slayer! The more the better!"

Popper grinned.

"Ha! I knew you'd be interested in this! A 'merciful' weapon of mass destruction, guaranteed to send demons to the heavens!"

"These three new pieces of equipment are the priority for replenishment!"

Leilia made the decision.

"As for other things, such as the improved transport scorpion and the standard purification bomb, the Abyss Front has mature models and inventory, which can be directly used."

"For this operation, speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness are key; the equipment cannot be too bulky." (End of Chapter)
