Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　It was given extremely high importance.

　Although these dignitaries had reservations about Moros's interference in the internal affairs of the Firemoth, after carefully weighing his demands, they had to admit that the influence of the necromancer was something they could not ignore.

　Moros's demands were not actually unreasonable.

　He simply hoped that these powerful figures would warn the members of the Moth Chaser Council to stop their suppression and harassment of Mebius.

　He did not make any other demands.

　In this situation, the powerful and influential chose to compromise after weighing the pros and cons.

　These powerful figures were well aware that Moros's choice to resolve the issue through diplomatic channels, rather than taking direct action, was already a great concession to them.

　If their reactions do not satisfy him, the necromancer may choose to resolve the problem in his own way.

　At that point, things might develop in a way that is beyond everyone's expectations and control, evolving in a direction that no one wants to see.

　Rather than let things escalate to that point, these powerful figures would rather take the initiative to cause trouble for the Moth-Chasing members of parliament.

　In fact, this is something that many rulers who control the direction of human society have always wanted to do.

　The expansion of the Firemoth has indeed brought enormous power and benefits to the members of the Firemoth Council.

　However, at the same time, as the moths that chase fire expand, the number of eyes coveting their parliamentary positions has also increased considerably.

　Now that there is such a reasonable excuse, many people will naturally want to take advantage of the situation to bring down those complacent members of parliament and replace them.

　Whether it was to appease the necromancers or to take the opportunity to weaken the power of the Firemoth Council members, these powerful figures had ample incentive to help Moros achieve his demands.

　When these powerful figures at the top of human society began to take action, the members of the Firemoth Council also felt immense pressure.

　Some powerful figures secretly warned lawmakers that if they continued to suppress Mebius, they would face extremely serious consequences.

　Other powerful figures spoke out publicly, criticizing the Moth of Fire's radical approach and accusing them of being unjust and unreasonable in their suppression of Mebius.

　These actions fostered an unspoken understanding among the powerful and wealthy.

　Although they did not form an explicit alliance, they secretly worked together to put pressure on the Moth Council members.

　The members of the Firemoth Council quickly noticed this subtle change.

　It was only then that they truly realized just how close the relationship was between Mebius and the necromancer.

　Then, the members of the Moth of Fire Council had no choice but to reluctantly withdraw all the pressure they had previously exerted on Mebius.

　Otherwise, what else can be done?

　Do we really want to openly become enemies with those powerful figures who stand at the pinnacle of power in human society?

　This is not the way to seek death!

　Since the secret war triggered by the issue of vampire human rights came to an end, the formidable strength displayed by the private soldiers and assassins raised by the powerful has made everyone realize how unwise it was to be their enemy.

　Moreover, the current Moths of Fire are not the same organization that replaced the United Nations in leading human society after the Ninth Great Collapse.

　At this point, the Fire Moth is merely an international organization affiliated with the United Nations.

　If the Moth of Flames were to confront the United Nations and the powerful figures behind it, it would descend into unprecedented division and chaos.

　When the members of the Moth Chaser Council chose to compromise, those powerful figures who had originally wanted to seize this opportunity to take their place had no choice but to temporarily back down.

　However, they did not come away empty-handed.

　In the previous political storm, several members of parliament who lacked strong backgrounds and stable power were forced to resign.

　The seats they vacated were mostly taken up by powerful and influential people who had long coveted them.

　The remaining seats were taken by other members of the Moth Chaser Council.

　For example, MP Eugene, MP Vincent, and MP Wang.

　After engaging in a series of political deals, they not only successfully consolidated their position but also further expanded their power.

　This once again proves that in the game of power, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.

　As one of the parties involved, Möbius was certainly aware of the compromise made by the Moth Chaser Council.

　With Möbius's intelligence, she could easily discern the mystery after a little thought.

　After learning about the forces behind the UN intervention that forced the Moth of Flames Parliament to compromise, the beautiful scientist with long, flowing green hair smiled charmingly.

　"PhD?"

　Upon seeing this, Klein, who was about to hand over a report on newly added research materials to his doctor, stopped in his tracks, his eyes revealing a mixture of doubt and curiosity.

　"It's nothing, I just remembered some pleasant things."

　Möbius casually changed the subject.

　Clearly, she didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer.

　"Klein, give me the report you have."

　"Yes, Dr. Möbius."

　Klein handed the report to Mebius.

　Just then, the laboratory door opened gently, and with the soft sound of machinery running, a familiar and light voice drifted into my ears.

　"How suspicious!"

　Upon hearing that familiar voice, Mebius's expression changed slightly.

　She looked up and saw Alicia standing at the door with a smile, her bright eyes sparkling with a mixture of curiosity and interest, as if she had seen through everything.

　"Alicea, why are you here?"

　"Of course I came to see you!"

　Alicia blinked, her smile as bright as the rising sun.

　She walked over to Mebius and stood on tiptoe.

　"Don't move, look in the mirror with your eyes... Okay, how do I look?"

　Faced with Alicia's charming offensive, Moros would definitely find it difficult to resist.

　But Mebius remained unmoved.

　"Alicia, what are you up to now?"

　Mebius frowned slightly, his tone tinged with helplessness.

　Upon hearing Mebius's words, Alicia not only didn't get angry, but instead smiled even more brightly.

　She gently shook her head and said.

　"Oh dear, Doctor, you're always so serious, it's really not endearing."

　Mebius sighed helplessly; she really didn't have many good solutions for Alicia.

　then……

　You've gained weight!

Chapter 222 The Necromancer Engine (Part 1)

　Leaving aside the friendly exchanges between Mebius and Alicia, after receiving the batch of biological agents provided by the former, Moros immediately devoted himself to the modification and upgrading of the undead legion's existing war machines.

　After taking over the modern weaponry enhanced with Honkai energy from the regular armies of Australia and New Zealand, the Undead Legion's war machine has undergone a revolution and upgrade.

　In the battle to eliminate the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind, the combat effectiveness of these Honkai energy-enhanced weapons and equipment purchased from the [Blacksmith Shop] was fully demonstrated.

　Therefore, the necromancer was very satisfied with this upgrade, which cost a lot of Ashan gold.

　However, the violent tornado unleashed by the Herrscher of Wind in the final moments of her life caused unprecedented and severe damage to these war machines.

　After carefully analyzing the battle damage data, Moros discovered that compared to the mid-to-high-tier undead units that also perished in the storm, the loss rate of these war machines enhanced by Honkai energy was actually more than ten percentage points higher.

　Given its high cost, and the fact that major powers on this planet, represented by Mu Continent, are conducting in-depth research and development on Honkai energy to enhance their military capabilities, Moros is naturally unwilling to merely stop at the level of making up for losses.

　He was determined to further modify and upgrade these Honkai energy weapons that had been widely used by the regular armies of Australia and New Zealand, in order to unleash even greater power in future battles.

　That being said, upgrading these weapons and equipment that are officially deployed to the military and embody the wisdom and hard work of countless researchers is by no means a simple task.

　The complexity involved is enough to deter anyone from attempting it.

　But for a necromancer, this is not impossible.

　The reason is very simple.

　Vervier is willing to provide technical support for the upgrade of this war machine.

　The expert confidently stated that this was entirely due to her strong interest in the mass production and cost control of weapons and equipment.

　It was definitely not because I wanted to help Moros!

　In addition to Velvi's technical support, Morros also had his own unique ideas on modifying and upgrading the war machines assigned to the undead legion.

　Admittedly, in terms of science and technology, he is far from being comparable to the researchers of this era.

　But Moros felt he could use his all-powerful magic to solve the problem.

　In fact, this is his area of ​​expertise.

　Since technological means are insufficient, let's make up for it with magic.

　In the eyes of the necromancer, the war machines currently assigned to the undead legion are not entirely suitable for his needs.

　After all, the only difference between them and those that were once equipped to the regular forces of the Australian continent and New Zealand is that the main body operating these war machines has changed from humans to skeletons with the relevant operating memories.

　As is well known, in order to accommodate the relatively weak human body, many war machines had to make numerous compromises in their initial design.

　If the beings controlling these war machines are no longer human, then many of their original designs have become constraints on their performance, resulting in a self-defeating and flawed design.

　In this case, for

　In order to make these Honkai energy equipment better serve the undead legion, improvements starting from the design level are particularly crucial.

　"What? You mean we don't even need to reserve a cabin for operators?"

　Faced with her lover's design request, the expert stared wide-eyed at her beautiful pink eyes, her face filled with surprise and bewilderment.

　She was well aware, of course, that this batch of Honkai energy-enhanced weapons and equipment would eventually be deployed to the undead legion.

　However, in Wilvi's understanding, even without the life support system, the location where the operators were stationed should still be retained.

　After all, while skeletons don't need to breathe or rest, they still need a fixed space to support and stabilize their movements during combat.

　But Morros's request completely overturned her understanding, making her full of anticipation and curiosity for the upcoming transformation work.

　"Yes, this time I plan to completely change the original operating method."

　Looking at Vilvie's charming face, which was full of "I'm very curious," Moros continued to explain.

　"I plan to use a magical ritual to completely integrate the skeleton's soul into the war machine, achieving a perfect physical fusion between the two."

　That's right. If we're going to make changes, why not make them even more thorough?

　Beyond the Tree Sea system, in a far, distant place, there exists a world filled with war, slaughter, and death.

　There, there exists a war machine known as the Daemon Engine.

　Their interiors imprison chaotic demons, which control the engines and power them.

　The unique innovations of the Dark Mechanicus's tech priests deeply inspired Moros.

　He intends to draw inspiration from this design concept.

　By perfectly fusing the skeleton archers, the lowest level of the undead army, with war machines, a more powerful war tool that is better suited to the characteristics of the undead army has been created.

　"That sounds like a good idea."

　After listening to Moros's detailed explanation and understanding the concept of the [Demon Engine], Velvie's eyes gleamed with excitement.

　Clearly, this strange mechanical creation had deeply captivated her.

　Interest is undoubtedly the best driving force for human exploration and innovation.

　Driven by an endless curiosity about the mechanical creations that Morros described as a perfect fusion of soul and machine, Velvi quickly became immersed in this new design concept.

　In just over a month, this most outstanding mechanical expert from the previous civilization produced his design masterpiece.

　“Moros, look.”

　With the design drawings spread out on the workbench, the expert woman was intently explaining her ideas to her partner.

　"After eliminating the life support system and personnel compartments, I made significant adjustments and optimizations to the mechanical structure of this 155mm Honkai Energy Self-Propelled Cannon..."
