Specifically, when humans were cleaning up the Energy City, they received information about the Energy Amethyst.

And it is already known that it is related to the two city defense tokens.

This made the people at the command post uneasy.

Energy amethyst is one of the most precious treasures that mankind has discovered in the mechanical world.

According to the calculations of the Magic Empire.

The mine that produces energy-rich amethyst is worth no less than a world-class treasure.

If the Autobots were to discover it, it would truly have a huge impact on the current favorable battlefield situation.

So they made a decision without hesitation.

They adjusted the direction of humanity's next attack.

The original plan was to take multiple approaches simultaneously to conquer the Snow City, the Moon Temple, and numerous smaller cities.

The order has now changed to: assemble a large army and head straight for the snow-covered city.

The news spread on the morning of the third day.

When Hart lifted the tent flap, he was clutching a report he had just copied from headquarters, and his expression was somewhat complicated.

"My lord, the command has given the order. The main force is to turn around and advance towards the Snowstorm City."

Ron was sitting at the table eating breakfast when he heard this and paused for a moment:

"Turn around? It seems they really can't forget about the Energy Amethyst."

Even well-planned attack strategies can be changed at the last minute, and all the main forces have to be committed to the Snowstorm City.

Ron picked up the bulletin and scanned it; it contained the latest orders from command.

All departments temporarily suspended their original plans and uniformly advanced towards the Snow City, striving to arrive before the remnants of the Autobots gained a foothold.

The announcement concluded with a bolded emphasis:

"The Energy Amethyst is of great importance. Teams participating in this operation will receive double the battle merits and will have the opportunity to obtain the Energy Amethyst after the battle."

Ron put down the notice without saying a word.

He stared at the map for a while, his gaze shifting back and forth between the Snow City and the Moon Temple.

The command's message was clear: to encourage the kingdom to continue following the main force in their fight against the Snowstorm City.

At first glance, they seem to be sent to be cannon fodder, but can those kingdoms really resist the temptation of the energy amethyst?

You might not get it if you go, but you'll definitely miss your chance if you don't go.

Margaret sat in the chair next to him, and seeing that Ron hadn't said anything for a while, tilted her head:

"What should we do? Should we go?"

Ron remained silent, as if he were doing some calculations.

Material consumption, soldier casualties, time costs, and expected returns. He calculated each item, but none of the numbers were convincing.

He finally looked away and said firmly, "I'm not going!!"

Margaret asked, "Why? Don't you want the amethyst?"

"Energy amethyst is definitely a good thing," Ron said.

"But the effect is similar to the original solution, except that it has an additional effect of immediate recovery."

We have the original solution ourselves, so there's no need to struggle with something that has similar functions.

That place is the main city, and the remnants of the Autobots have all retreated there. It won't be easier to fight there than Energy City.

With our limited manpower, going there would mean not only fighting a tough battle, but also not getting a chance to profit. Why would we bother?

He rolled up the map and put it away safely.

"Why don't we go our own way? If we can capture a few more small cities, the blessings we receive might just elevate you to demigod status."

There was no movement from Ron's side.

But as expected, the other ducal kingdoms were all captivated by the energy amethyst.

When Ron went to the logistics department to collect supplies, he passed by the camp of the neighboring duchy and heard a lively discussion coming from inside.

The commanders of several duchies huddled together, their voices trembling with excitement, their faces flushed.

"Amethyst mine! That's an amethyst mine! Getting a piece is like having an extra life."

"If only I could get a few pieces..."

"No need to divide it up, just take a few extra pieces when you see it. First come, first served!"

"I heard that the city of snow is full of amethyst veins underground, and you can dig as much as you want as you want as you want as you rush in."

.......

These guys have been completely blinded by greed.

Energy amethyst? Several major powers consider it a treasure.

Even if we could obtain it, how much could we possibly share?

Ron didn't stop listening, nor did he offer any advice to these people.

If it doesn't concern them, they just leave.

In the afternoon, Ron sent a reply to the command post: the Silver Dragon Knights would not participate in the operation in the direction of Snowstorm City and would choose their own battlefield.

The command didn't force them to stay, since Ron's troops already had "freedom of action" authority, and their willingness to join the attack on Energy City was already an extra form of cooperation.

The reply came back quickly, brief in wording, neither saying it was good nor bad, just a single sentence.

"I am aware of this."

Ron knew that doing this would displease the major powers, but he didn't care.

Anyone with eyes can see that after the battle in Energy City, the Autobots are no longer a threat.

With the beastmen also crippled, humanity's advantage has been firmly established.

The major powers will not allow these kingdoms to stay any longer.

After two or three more major battles, the major powers will no longer need the Kingdom Legion's help.

At that point, Ron and his men will probably be sent away, or given a random rear guard post assignment.

Therefore, Ron wanted to take advantage of the few remaining opportunities to wipe out a few more minor races.

The Silver Dragon Knights began breaking camp early the next morning.

Tents were dismantled one by one, and supplies were loaded onto the airship box by box. The knights inspected the armor and weapons, and the excavator family also joined the moving team.

Ron's team now numbers over a dozen airships, so he no longer worries about being attacked.

Most of the Autobots that had been scattered in the wild have been wiped out, and the remaining ones are no longer a threat.

Ron left the Energy City area in just two days.

The direction he was heading was towards the green forest.

That place doesn't have a main city for the Autobots, but it's home to a large number of smaller races.

It's perfect for grinding monsters in duchies and kingdoms like Ron's.

Most of the kingdoms with the freedom to act have now been drawn to seize the energy amethyst.

No one tried to take it from Ron.

As long as he can eat it, it's all his.

On the third day after leaving Energy City, Ron arrived at the edge of the Green Forest region.

Standing on the airship and looking down, there was a lush primeval forest below, so vast that Ron estimated it was only slightly smaller than the Magic Empire.

Ron found it quite novel.

Having been in the mechanical world for so long, he had never seen anything green except for the rusty rocks.

The sudden appearance of such a large primeval forest does seem rather incongruous.

Ron didn't investigate further; who knows if this was a characteristic of the mechanical world?

He called for the fleet to land, ready to give the Autobots, who lived in the Green Forest, a proper greeting.
