The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 303 Puppet War

As the days passed, the Moonlight Empire began working like a machine, preparing for war.

All work was suspended as citizens concentrated all their time on war preparation.

The original farmers accepted the official's arrangements and planted war crops.

The construction workers beautifying the Empire went into the border to set up the first defence line.

People working in various logistics allied together to help the army organize and transport war supplies.

Even idle people who were mainly training joined the temporary army.

If they couldn't, they joined various logistics and support positions.

The Moonlight Academy also stopped all its other activities as it experimented with weapons of war.

From bioweapons that could wipe out an army to mass destruction weapons that could destroy anything.

Some geniuses also joined the army, whether commanding or fighting.

As for the graduate students of the Moonlight Academy.

Most of them came back to their homeland hoping to support the war.

Although they had heard of the notoriousness of the Westle Empire and knew the possibility of dying.

They still disregarded their comfortable lives in the Arcana Continent and returned.

The Moonlight Empire had nurtured them from ignorant beings to what they were now.

They didn't want their home to be destroyed simply because they were scared of death.

All merchants also hurriedly donated their resources to the Empire as a contribution to the war.

Unfortunately, the Moonlight Empire was not desperate enough to accept others' charity.

If they accepted it, it might even dampen the confidence they had in the war.

Still, the merchants insisted, as they didn't want anything bad to happen in the Empire.

Businessmen put interest first and foremost.

Usually, their first response to this kind of scenario was to run and retreat to the Arcane Continent.

However, they didn't want their foundation to get swept in the war just because they didn't help.

More importantly, they had great confidence in the Moonlight Empire to win the war.

If all it took was to donate these measly materials to obtain the goodwill of the Empire then they would gladly do it without second hesitation.

Finally, at the insistence of the Merchants.

The Empire's officials accepted the materials at a discounted price.

...

In the tallest watchtower at the border of the Moonlight Empire:

"Brother, will you let me control these puppets first?" Sam asked Luke coquettishly.

Under the heated preparation of the Empire.

The puppets' war outside the barrier reached a high-end pitch.

In the beginning, the enemy only attacked using millions of puppets.

But, as time continued, it reached tens of millions, then hundreds of millions.

Now, over a billion puppets were outside the barrier, grinding the Moonlight Empire's puppets to death.

In the watchtower, Luke and Sam looked outside planning to intervene in the fight by manually controlling the puppets.

"Are you sure?" Luke asked with reluctance.

He also wanted to control his father's puppet army.

Looking at the millions of puppets standing strong even after being besieged by billions of puppets.

Luke could only say that his father's puppet army was indeed a group beast.

His idea of forming a cheap puppet army was also wavering.

After all, what's the use of numbers if they couldn't even defeat a few puppets of the same value?

Luke even despised the Divine Continent for making such paper tigers for display.

"Brother, how about this; If I lose a hundred thousand puppets, the overall control would be handed over to you," Sam proposed confidently.

"Sure, just a hundred thousand? Do you want to add more?" Luke agreed immediately, even suggesting to increase Sam's fault tolerance.

Although his father's puppet army was indeed awesome, over a billion puppets were no joke.

Even as they talked, hundreds of puppets kept getting destroyed.

If this kept on, it's only a matter of time before these billions of puppets breach the Empire.

They were only here to delay this and give the Empire more time to prepare.

"Hahaha, this is enough, brother!" Sam snickered secretly as if knowing something about the puppets that Luke didn't know.

"Oh, here's the Main Control Device." Luke handed him the main control control of the puppets.

It had been given to him by his eighth mother, Isabella after they expressed their desire to help the puppet army.

Mechanics not only studied the field of creating things but also dabbled in how to fully exert their creations' full potential.

Most adept mechanics were even more proficient in battle than others since they knew the ins and outs of their weapons.

After receiving the Main Control Device, Sam set up an exquisite control panel and inserted the device.

"You're using a Chrono Ex Quantum Controller?!" Luke exclaimed in shock upon seeing the controller.

This tier 9 device controller was akin to a cheat package.

According to the description he had seen in the past.

It contained almost all combat techniques and formations in all dimensions.

It was like an automatic control device where you could just sit back and choose a movie clip you wanted.

"Hahaha, I bought this from father earlier," Sam replied proudly.

"Where did you get the money? Did you borrow it from Lux?" Luke asked doubtfully.

He was already a mechanic earning mountains of money, yet still, he couldn't afford a tier 9 item or resources.

However, here was Sam, a womanizer bought a tier 9 device like a toy?!

"No, this is my secret..." Sam didn't disclose.

Many thought that playing with women meant spending money after money.

But after getting really good at it, Sam earned more and more money along the way.

It's not that Sam got money from the women.

Rather, Sam learned the unique ways of the world, thus earning money in the process.

It reached the point where he could even afford tier 9 items if he saved a little bit.

Sam could only say that being handsome still had its benefits.

"Alright, enough of that, you already lost some puppets, hurry up and move" Luke urged upon seeing the perverted smile on his face.

"Oh~" Sam hurriedly put the device controller in his head as his view changed.

Sam felt like he had become a god as he could see every angle of every puppet under his control.

"Let's see."

"Delta, analyze the battlefield for me," Sam commanded the device controller AI.

[Analyzing...]

[Host Puppet Army Status:

Number: 2,895,135

Type: Hybrid Combat Type Puppets

Estimated Strength: Peak Tier 8 Realm

Combat System: Transcend

Overall Rating: 95.5%

Remarks: An average combat puppet with a perfect combat system.]

"Hiss~"

"I don't know where Father got these combat puppets..."

"Furthermore, how awesome is the combat system that it elevated an average combat robot to a near-perfect one?"

Although curious, Sam continued to let Delta scan and analyze his enemy.

[Enemy Puppet Army Status:

Number: 1,362,452,790

Type: Cannon Fodder - Mass Produce Puppet

Estimated Strength: Early Tier 8 Realm

Combat System: Basic

Overall Rating: 30.2%

Remarks: A cheap cannon fodder puppet that can overwhelm an elite army.]

"Tsk, these puppets are too many."

Over a billion puppets versus millions of puppets.

If not for the overwhelming combat ability of his father's combat puppets.

The Moonlight Empire would probably have been breached a long time ago.

"Delta, analyze our winning percentage as it is."

[Analyzing...]

[Winning Percentage: 7.3829%]

"How about with your help?"

[Winning Percentage: 31.2618%]

"Even with a tier 9 controller, the chance of winning is so small?"

Although the Chrono Ex Quantum Controller is said to contain almost all the techniques and formations for puppet or mechanical battle.

Success still depends on those who control it.

After all, no matter how many bullets you have, the enemy only needs one to kill you.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter; Let's start this party!"

Sam began to analyze the battlefield, thinking of his first command.

"Uhmm, Delta, Cross Counter Formation. Also, shrink the battlefield..." Sam smiled slyly.

[Roger!]

Soon, the puppet army shrank their formation, not taking the initiative to attack.

The enemy puppets paused for a moment and continued to attack, oblivious to the traps ahead.

"Heh, as expected."

"Delta, divide the army into three and stagger their attacking time as I tell you."

[Roger!]

Soon, the puppet army was divided into three, with the front line defending and countering the enemy puppets.

However, because of the division.

The puppet army suffered tens of casualties in just a few minutes as the formation formed.

"Now, here comes the finale..."

"Delta, proceed with Z-99 Overload Mode."

[Warning!!! This command will make the puppets scrapped with only 1% repairability.]

[Proceed with the command?]

Overload mode is one of the combat techniques programmed in the Chrono Ex Quantum Controller.

It's a taboo technique that leverages all parts of the puppet and the dimensional laws to explode with extreme power.

In exchange, all parts of the puppet would be destroyed beyond repair.

Thinking of this, Sam just smiled.

"Proceed."

Suddenly, the front line of puppets seemed to explode internally as it emitted overwhelming heat.

The battlefield, the sea, also steamed, making the view cloudy with almost zero visibility.

"How is their combat power compared to earlier?"

[2x...3x...5x]

[Warning: Overload mode will only last 5 minutes.]

"Hehe, that's enough..."

"ATTACK!"
