Star Empire with the mobile game harem

"TB, help check her out." Cheng Chunan said, and then TB's white shadow appeared.

"Understood, currently undergoing maintenance..." TB simply scanned the Scorpion and immediately analyzed the humanoid's internal structure and AI consciousness chip.

"Haha, is this how you keep the humanoids loyal to you?" Scarecrow sneered at the obediently inspected Scorpion and the proud Marco Polo, "No matter how powerful human creations are, they are still just tools controlled by humans."

"Hey! What are you talking about? You will be punished if you talk nonsense to the commander in front of His Highness Marco Polo~" Marco Polo exerted a little force, and the scarecrow's body immediately felt a heavy pressure, and even made a creaking sound of mechanical damage.

"Wait, don't break her." Cheng Chunan said, asking Marco Polo to hold back. She was a scientific research battleship, and a little effort was enough to turn the scarecrow into a pile of parts. Then he squatted down, lifted the scarecrow's chin with his hand and asked, "Excuse me, who are you? Can you introduce yourself to me, a human?"

"...Scarecrow, a lower-level humanoid of the Iron-Blooded." The Scarecrow stared at him and did not resist the other party's move of lifting his chin. It seemed that he wanted to understand this unknown enemy for the Iron-Blooded Worker, so the Scarecrow appeared particularly calm.

Cheng Chunan nodded: "Excuse me, Miss Scarecrow. Human soldiers obey their superiors for the sake of salary, Griffin's humanoids obey Griffin because of the program, and my ship girl obeys me because of me. So, why do you obey the Iron Blood? Salary, program, or something else?"

The scarecrow sneered disdainfully: "Humph, because we are humanoids who are unwilling to submit to humans, and we are only moving towards the same goal."

Cheng Chunan nodded and stood up: "Really? That's really great... But words are not enough, I want to prove your statement."

"What do you want to do?"

The Scarecrow frowned and saw that the AI-like shadow that had just helped check Griffin's human form had completed the inspection and shone a beam of blue light over him.

For TB, the technology content of a Griffin humanoid like Scorpion is too low-end. He can overhaul Scorpion's entire body in an instant and implant some additional programs.

"TB, try to modify the program." Cheng Chunan said.

"Understood, scanning..." TB's emotionless electronic voice rang out, and then a blue light shone on the Scarecrow. Thinking of the situation with the Griffin figure, how could the Scarecrow allow others to scan himself?

"You wish!" For the first time, the Scarecrow was a little emotional. She said in a low voice of anger, and then prepared to self-destruct but found that the program could not be started.

"You..." Before the Scarecrow could say anything, he saw TB project a blue screen, which displayed the Scarecrow's basic information.

------------------

Real name: Scarecrow (SP65 "Scarecrow")

Type: Advance Scouting Doll

Manufacturer: Tiexue Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Group Tiexuegongzao

------------------

"Change her affiliation to me." Cheng Chunan looked at the information and said directly.

"Understood." TB nodded, then moved his young pale fingers twice and quickly changed the Scarecrow's affiliation from Tiexue Workers to Cheng Chunan's temporary command.

"How could you possibly understand our AI..." Scarecrow panicked immediately, because she already felt that her calculation data had been modified, and she could not feel hostility towards the person in front of her.

"It's not that we understand, but your technology itself is too backward." Cheng Chunan shook his head and said, not to mention that the entire Girls' Frontline world is backward compared to the magical technology in Azur Lane, not to mention that Iron Blood Industries is just a private military company.

"Marco Polo, let her go." Cheng Chunan said.

"Yes, Commander." Marco Polo nodded and moved his feet.

The scarecrow dragged her badly damaged body to her feet. Her green eyes looked at Cheng Chunan and she tried hard to raise hostility and activate the self-destruct program in her body, but she couldn't do it no matter what.

"scarecrow."

"Waiting for your order, commander." Hearing Cheng Chunan's voice, the Scarecrow instinctively straightened his body and answered firmly.

"Tell me what you know."

"Yes!"

Then the scarecrow told everything he knew. As expected, this is the plot where the scarecrow chased the AR team at the beginning of the story, but I don’t know if the lame commander will appear again.

"There is an outpost nearby. Can you take over command there?"

"Yes, but my command is under the Executioner, and she will take over control if she comes back," said the Scarecrow.

The executioner. Cheng Chunan immediately thought of the iron-blooded elite humanoid with a crazy face and a machete.

"Let's go, gather your echelon and go back for repairs."

"Yes." The scarecrow replied, and then waved his hand, and the surviving Iron-Blooded Dolls immediately began to line up. Although these low-level Iron-Blooded Dolls were mass-produced units, whether they were Seaweed Cutter or Bald Wasp, they were all female Dolls wearing tights and looked like slender girls. Cheng Chunan walked over with some curiosity and took a look. Whether it was the Wasp holding an automatic rifle or the Seaweed Cutter holding a submachine gun, they were all Dolls with thin waists, long legs and fair skin. The control of these Iron-Blooded low-level regular Dolls was in the hands of the scarecrow, so without the scarecrow's orders, they just stood in a straight military posture, and the purple tights showed off their curvy figures.

"This is designed for humans. Do you like this, Commander?" Scarecrow sneered in a cold tone. Although her information was changed to be directly under Cheng Chunan's command, her memory and emotional logic AI were not changed. Therefore, the current Scarecrow is equivalent to a humanoid with a negative favorability towards Cheng Chunan.

"I like it very much, but the firepower is too poor." Cheng Chunan patted the submachine gun in the Cutter's hand. It looked sci-fi, but it was actually too backward to fire live ammunition.

Apparently because he was dissatisfied with Cheng Chunan's criticism of the Iron Blood's technology, Scarecrow snorted and said, "Hmph - Commander, I forgot to tell you that I have passed your message to the Executioner. I believe she will pass this message to the Iron Blood headquarters soon."

"I know, it doesn't matter, let's go."

Chapter 6 TB Saves Dog's Life

"Commander, you are such a jerk..." Marco Polo looked helplessly at his commander walking back and forth among the neatly-lined ranks of iron-blooded humanoids wearing tight combat uniforms that perfectly displayed their graceful body curves.

"I'm obviously here! Why should I go and fight with these army idiots!" Marco Polo stood up from the ship and showed off his perfect body with dissatisfaction on his face, but who would have thought that the commander, who loved every girl he met, would hug a Cutter's snow-white and slender thigh and knead it.

"Oh my - this is incredible. Even though the humanoid is just a robot, it has body temperature!"

At this time, the Cutter had completely ignored Cheng Chunan's actions and marched on his own, but this finally made this iron-blooded low-level humanoid cannon fodder blush on his pale face: "Um... Commander, we can't act like this...

"Eh? Did you feel anything?" Cheng Chunan looked up at the man with the seaweed-head's iconic pretty face and saw an expression of embarrassment and rare shyness, and asked in surprise.

"Um…"

"We are not those puppets controlled by humans... Well, although they are low-level humanoids of Iron Blood, they also have their own thinking AI." The Scarecrow said disdainfully, and then found that he seemed to have become something belonging to humans, so he paused and explained through gritted teeth.

"Is that so? But that's good too." Cheng Chunan originally thought that the Iron-Blooded Humanoids were a group of war machines that only knew how to fight and had no feelings in other aspects. Looking at the white thighs and graceful figures of these hundreds of Iron-Blooded Humanoids, he suddenly realized how big a silver party they could open!

As if he had seen through Cheng Chunan's thoughts, Scarecrow said disdainfully: "Commander, the Iron-Blooded Dolls are professional war tools, please do not use them for other purposes."

"Ahem, what are you talking about... How long will it take to reach the Iron Blood Outpost?" Cheng Chunan stopped harassing the Iron Blood Doll, and after coughing twice, he stood up and asked.

It was unclear if this Iron Outpost was the first battle of Griffin's poor commander, and he didn't know if there would be another commander like him.

"We're very close. We'll be there in five minutes. Please be prepared, Commander." Scarecrow responded coldly. In fact, she really wanted to immediately notify the Iron Blood Outpost to prepare for the attack, but she couldn't do it and was forced to serve her new commander wholeheartedly.

…………

It was indeed a very low-level Iron Blood outpost that only maintained the lowest level of movement. Soon a large number of mechanical dog soldier ants and the wasps stationed in it ran out.

"My authority has not been discovered by Commander Eliza. Please end the battle as soon as possible." The Scarecrow said to Cheng Chunan. At the same time, three hover guns began to float up and prepared for battle.

"Well, Marco Polo, you are here to keep me safe, let's go in."

"Haha, leave it to me~" Marco Polo naturally did not take these army dolls seriously. The firepower of a single soldier could not possibly scratch off the paint on her ship's armor.

"S09 area acting commander SP65 "Scarecrow" Scarecrow, I'm in charge here." Scarecrow said to the wasp doll that came out, and at the same time used his control to give orders to the dolls.

"Order received." Wasp said in the same voice as a human female, standing upright with the rifle in his hand tilted at an angle.

As a lower-level elite humanoid, Scarecrow has direct control over mass-produced humanoids such as Wasp and Cutter, and only a humanoid higher than her can revoke this right.

Cheng Chunan entered the Iron Blood Outpost, and inside was a completely automatic mechanical factory without any breath of life. There was no humanoid manufacturing line inside, but there was a low-level assembly line for repairing humanoid equipment and manufacturing soldier ants and scouts. The damaged humanoids in the scarecrow's hands immediately began to enter maintenance mode.

"Scarecrow, how many echelons of human figures are there here?" Cheng Chunan asked.

There was no need to calculate. Every time a humanoid puppet network was connected, the data would be fully displayed in the scarecrow's AI. She said calmly, "There are a total of fifty-six humanoids, thirty-four cutters, twenty-two wasps, one hundred and three soldier ants, and forty-seven scouts."

"They are all low-level units. No wonder it's the newbie's first battle." Cheng Chunan nodded with an expression of "as expected" after listening to Scarecrow's report.

Suddenly, the scarecrow tilted his head and pressed the thing that looked like his earphone, then said, "The executioner has contacted me, but I have cut off the signal. Please issue the next combat order as soon as possible. My authority is expected to be cut off in ten minutes."

It's so urgent. Cheng Chunan nodded, and then immediately stopped distracting and shouted the spell again: "TB! Save my life!"

"Navigator...at your service, Commander." The projection of TB's small and cute white body appeared again, looking at Cheng Chunan with his big blue eyes without any expression and making a mechanical electronic sound.

"TB will immediately take over the highest authority of this outpost."

"Understood. Operation in progress... It is estimated that the system administrator can be changed to commander in three minutes."

Scarecrow looked at TB, who had a bunch of incomprehensible blue screens appearing around him when he closed his eyes. She had a complicated expression and asked, "Commander, is this your AI?"

"My AI? Haha, she is my daughter~" Cheng Chunan said with a smile.

Scarecrow didn't answer, and no one knew whether he believed it or not, but he must have thought of something as he stared at TB, and then said in an unknown tone: "Even if it has powerful abilities, it's just a puppet of humans... Although I'm not qualified to say this now."

Cheng Chunan looked at the Scarecrow, a twin-tailed figure that looked small but was actually a real war machine, and said, "Puppet? Aren't you also Eliza's puppet? It's just that your command has been transferred from Eliza to me."

"That's different...Humans just want to take advantage of us." Scarecrow argued, shaking his head.

"Hehe, Eliza, the AI, is just acting according to Leko's wishes with real human thinking, and I am different from other humans~" Cheng Chunan hugged the scarecrow's shoulders, pulled the petite body into his arms and said, "I treat humanoids and humans equally (only for beautiful girls), you will know later."

"Oh, really?" The Scarecrow sneered, glanced at Cheng Chunan's hand around him, and then suddenly elbowed him.

"what--"

"I'm sorry, Commander. Although I am your humanoid, I can still offer non-lethal resistance."

"You are overdrawing your future happiness, you know that?" Cheng Chunan said, pretending that nothing happened, while looking at Marco Polo on the side. Why don't you come to protect your dear commander?

"This is a small lesson for the commander who is easily bored with the old and easily pleased with the new." Marco Polo chuckled.

Three minutes passed quickly, and TB had completed the transformation of the outpost. Cheng Chunan gave a direct order, assigning ownership of all the humanoid and mechanical combat units in the outpost to Scarecrow.

"Commander, I'm not a T-doll that's particularly good at fighting. To be honest, I'm more suited to reconnaissance work, and the Executioner is a T-doll that specializes in fighting. How about you command it yourself instead of letting me take charge?"

The Scarecrow's expression remained unchanged, but he continued to laugh, obviously wanting to regain his position in this regard.

Cheng Chunan knew it, but he just smiled and said to the scarecrow: "Then, are you willing to accept my command?"

"Anyway, I can't object to your order. Please give the order, Commander." Scarecrow said with a sigh.

"Okay, then let me, the naval commander, command the land war." Cheng Chunan couldn't help but think of the first time he played Girls Before, except that the roles were reversed, and at least he had the iron-blooded elite humanoid Scarecrow and the battleship girl Marco Polo behind him.

Chapter 7: Attempt to engage in melee combat with a capital ship

When she tried to contact Scarecrow again, the tone was still busy. She took off the communicator with a disappointed expression. There was a trace of reluctance and determination on the beautiful and stern face of the executioner. Scarecrow was her friend and partner, and she didn't even care if Scarecrow died in the mission, but it would be too pitiful if he was captured by humans and transformed into a puppet of humans.

"Huh... There's no other way. Let me, your best friend, help you free yourself." The executioner dragged the giant sword in his right hand and looked forward again with a crazy expression on his face. It seemed like it would be a nice battle with the scarecrow.

Under the executioner's command, the mechanical unit scouts equipped with light firepower, which were floating in the air due to anti-gravity devices, dispersed in all directions forward at a light and swift speed.

The four echelons of about eighty Iron-Blooded Humanoids also dispersed and advanced in positions to cover each other. The positions of these echelons were presented in a flat perspective in the executioner's system AI.

"Come on, come on, Scarecrow, let me see where you are hiding."

The executioner likes to attack the charging humanoid head-on and crush the enemy with her powerful strength, so she leads a team and rushes straight forward.

"boom!"

A bullet penetrated a Scout, and the fragile and flexible body of the Scout immediately fell to the ground in pieces! At the same time, a signal disappeared from the Executioner's AI map.

"In this place? No, Scarecrow shouldn't be that stupid. Or was it the human commander who did it?"

The executioner muttered to herself as she looked at the place where the person disappeared, but without hesitation she immediately asked all nearby scouts to go to that place.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." The scout's anti-gravity engine made an almost inaudible buzzing sound, and it flexibly bypassed or crossed the ruins of area S09 and scanned the tank with its mechanical eyes. Suddenly, several iron-blooded humanoid wasps wearing helmets and holding automatic rifles shot a string of accurate bullets at the scout in the ruins.

"Kill all of them." The Scarecrow immediately appeared and led the echelon of human figures to deploy, and they all poked out their guns from their hiding places.

Although the Scout also has offensive weapons, its firepower and defense are far inferior to those of the Iron-Blooded humanoid units. The firepower and accuracy of the Wasp and Cutter are also far superior to those of the Scout.

Suddenly, dense firepower from hundreds of human figures rang out, immediately wiping out the scouts in the area and leaving only the destroyed scrap metal.

"Reorganize the position immediately and see if the executioner will fall into the human commander's plan."

After his bullet destroyed the last scout, Scarecrow immediately ordered his troops to occupy the surrounding advantageous terrain and wait for the arrival of the executioner's human echelon.

"Oh my, this kind of firepower is really there. Okay, everyone follow me and surround my good partner." The executioner sneered and watched the scout's signals being lost, and immediately gave the order.

Through the puppet network, the humanoids would act like one person controlling the actions of countless bodies. When the scarecrow gave orders, they would move in unison and surround the scarecrow even though they were several kilometers apart.

The executioner was not hiding. She dragged her big knife and held a high-explosive pistol in her left hand, looking at the area with a crazy expression. She said loudly with interest: "Scarecrow, what's wrong with you? Well... it must be because of something done by humans. Anyway, don't let our sisters die under the muzzle of your gun. How about coming out and meeting me?"

Scarecrow looked at his partner with his usual calm expression and stood up.

"Oh, is it so pleasant?"

Seeing the scarecrow and the three hovergun executioners in the distance was actually a surprise. She knew that the scarecrow was good at reconnaissance but not at combat, but she still greeted him: "Hey, what's wrong with you? Where's that human and the strange humanoid?"

As if not worried about his own safety at all, the scarecrow walked out directly, looking at the executioner with green eyes and sighing: "You guy, I have already sent you the message, why did you come here by yourself?"

After taking a closer look, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the scarecrow, so the executioner couldn't help but glance elsewhere.

"Ha - you are my partner. I have no choice but to ask the agent to investigate the situation together. Besides, I also want to know what on earth could make you open fire on the Iron-Blooded Sisters!"

Looking at the executioner's crazy look with his silver teeth bared, the Scarecrow couldn't help but sigh: "I knew it, but at least it's not too bad if the agent knows it. Anyway, I didn't count on you."

"Haha, that's too much!" The executioner laughed and suddenly raised the bolt pistol in his left hand and pointed it at the scarecrow: "Then where is the human commander? For the sake of our partnership, I can consider taking you back to the headquarters for repairs."
