However, at this moment——
In the conference room, a male hesitantly put forth, "Should we seize this opportunity to apply for the launch authorization of the X19 Eastwind Missile?"
"We have already located the general position of that human player."
"A single missile would definitely eradicate the problem."
"No!"
The old man sternly retorted, "I cannot accept that we spend such a tremendous price to activate the launch authorization of the X19 Eastwind Missile just to kill an Alien Race gamer."
"Our Mechanic Race, is different from the other races."
"We must accumulate enough Merit Value to unlock enough weapons during the Battle of All Races, enabling our Mechanic Race to kill other races as if we were gods."
"The X19 Eastwind Missile is for use during the Battle of All Races, not for killing a potentially stronger Alien Race gamer."
"Yes, leader!"
Seeing the leader's refusal again, the man who initially proposed the idea did not dare say anything else and could only reluctantly nod in agreement.
In fact, the leader's perspective was not wrong.
But he always felt that if they allowed this human player to continue growing, it would be terrifying.
According to the imaging transmitted by the original group of enforcers that died at the Ruins Site, the firepower this Human Player had at that time was not as powerful as it is now, and yet not even one day has passed.
The firepower in this Human Player's hands can only be described as a world-shaking transformation.
Actually, if they had unlocked the Artillery Group now and aimed at the human position, a few rounds of concentrated fire would solve the problem quite satisfactorily.
But the problem is...
City 18 has not yet unlocked the Artillery Group.
After all, at the beginning, regardless of whether it was the rifle, machine gun, or the Artillery Group, all could easily slaughter the Human Race that descended near them.
Of course, it would be more cost-effective to unlock the production rights to the rifles and machine guns in bulk!
At this point, it's too late to unlock the Artillery Group.
After unlocking the artillery authorization, allowing the factory to produce, and going through the tedious casting mold process, the first artillery unit will take a full week to produce.
If they want enough artillery to form a well-established group, it would take at least a month.
The Racial Talent of the Mechanical Race is——
"Item Creation!"
They are the only race out of all races that have the ability to create items.
There are only two ways to obtain items - to kill Mutated Beasts or to obtain them from the Mechanical Race.
But...before creating items, they must unlock the creation rights.
To unlock the rights, they need to consume Merit Points, which are obtained by killing Alien Races.
At this point——
Glenn Fleming, sitting in a corner, kept his head low. His face fluctuated between different expressions, but he remained silent.
No one paid him any mind, nor cared if he would speak.
But he cared.
He was the most supportive of unlocking the X19 Eastwind Missile authorization and bombarding that Human Player directly.
Because if that player does not die within 24 hours, he will die.
He did not know how many Merit Points were saved up in City 18.
But he was aware that at the beginning of the Battle of All Races, City 18 had indeed killed many from the Human Race and accumulated a large number of Merit Points. At the same time, they also unlocked the rights to create items, consuming a considerable number of Merit Points.
Especially the Energy Dome and the Spider Web Air Defense System, both required a large amount of Merit Points to be consumed.
It's not a one-time consumption.
As long as they are activated, they would continue to consume.
Those rockets being shot and that continuously replenished Energy Dome were all exchanged with Merit Points.
He worried that if the troop sent out by City 18 failed to kill that Human Player and allowed him to escape, his life would end right here.
No!
A hint of madness flashed in Glenn Fleming's eyes. The X19 Eastwind Missile authorization must be unlocked... but now the military base has been bombarded into oblivion, is the missile silo still intact?
But judging from the leader's conversation just now, City 18 should still have a concealed X19 Eastwind missile launch well somewhere.
It's just that the leader did not want to activate it.
He then took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
There's still a long way to go before the 24-hour countdown. After all, even six hours haven't passed since the Sky Eye Pursuit Order took effect. He may be worrying too much.
But if... when the 24 hour countdown is close to ending and that human player is still not dead, if the leader is still unwilling to activate the X19 Eastwind missile, don't blame him.
...
At this time, outside City 18.
A small mound, a kilometer away from the military base.
Kerr Cowell and his companion stood beside the turret, watching the rockets rise from inside City 18, collide with their fired shells and detonate them.
"I have to say."
Scar Dog shook his head: "The mechanical race from City 18 is not that easy to deal with. These ascending and exploding rockets look like they're setting off fireworks for the New Year."
"Honestly, it's quite nostalgic."
"Ever since the ban on fireworks was implemented on Blue Star, I haven't seen the spectacular scene of the city full of fireworks."
"Shall we retreat?"
"Retreat?"
Kerr Cowell shook his head: "The number of ascending rockets is not small."
"Since ancient times, the defense side has always consumed more."
"City 18 is just a small city. I don't believe that they have that many rockets in reserve. In just a short minute, a full 10,000 rockets have already ascended."
"I don't believe that City 18 could have that many rockets?"
"Throw over those semi-scrapped items."
"Strengthen the recoil of the turret a bit, let's mount it on the car and properly give them something to play with."
This military base is basically ruined now, there is no need to continue bombing it.
What is next is to skirt around the edge of City 18, targeting the densely populated residential areas, bombing them one by one.
Just now, they had bombed for three minutes in total.
The ammunition was reduced by 9570 rounds.
The Steel Sword Self-Controlled Turret is left with 54430 rounds.
"54430 rounds / 81000 rounds."
Approximately enough for a full firing rate of about 18 minutes.
Fortunately, there's no need to worry about the problem of the gun barrel overheating.
Which is to say, once he's used all this ammunition, he'll only be able to restore the ammunition 24 hours later.
During these 24 hours, there will be a firepower vacuum period, which is extremely dangerous for him.
The energy shell of the energy firearm, after 24 hours it will restore the ammunition not when the first bullet in the shell is fired and it starts to replenish the ammunition.
But it's divided into two kinds.
The first kind, after the firearm has been still for 24 hours without firing, regardless of how much ammunition is in the shell, all will be fully restored.
The second type is after the energy of the shell has been depleted, it will start to restore automatically, until it's fully restored 24 hours later.
This means that, as soon as he stops bombing City 18, City 18 would certainly retaliate with an unbearable blow in anger.
However —
Kerr Cowell glanced at the human race's Merit Shop.
In it, there was a prominent item.
"Item Name": Energy bullet shell supply gun.
"Item Level": One-Star Item.
"Item Effect": Hold this gun and shoot at the energy shell of your energy firearm to instantly restore the energy shell to its peak state.
"Item Introduction": As you know, compared to allowing the energy shell to naturally recover, this method of instantaneous charging is costly, so you should be able to accept its not cheap price.
"Item Price": 1000 Human Merit Points.
The remaining balance of his merit value at this time was 1234 points.
Enough to buy one energy bullet shell supply gun.
Meaning, as long as he can kill 1000 alien creatures with the Steel Sword Self-Controlled Turret and earn 1000 Merit Points.
Theoretically, his Steel Sword Self-Controlled Turret can be in a state of infinite ammunition.
Although, there are many good things in the Human Merit Shop, using these many merit points to buy an energy bullet shell supply gun feels a bit wasteful.
But for his current situation, this item might not have the best cost-effectiveness, but it's definitely the most suitable one.
Kerr Cowell looked up towards City 18 in the smoke and suddenly laughed.
"Next up, please enjoy this grand fireworks display."
