Reborn as a fiend statue

In an underground space somewhere.

A group of senior members of the Dark Council sat solemnly around the conference table.

An old man holding a scepter said in a deep voice: "I believe you all know the recent situation, please share your opinions."

A werewolf bishop immediately said angrily: "The man named Yu dared to massacre the members of the Dark Council and left a warning message. He simply doesn't take us seriously."

"Indeed, he also ordered people to spread the news and make the blood sacrifice plan public, making it increasingly difficult to implement the plan. He must be severely punished."

"The top leaders of the major tribes have been controlled and purged. If we want to provoke inter-tribal war, there is basically no hope."

"Yu must be taught a lesson, otherwise he will treat the Dark Council as a soft persimmon and manipulate him at will."

"I suggest that we take control of a sixth-level or seventh-level tribe, and then go out with all our troops to slaughter the Phoenix tribe."

…………

The old man looked at the angry colleagues and did not speak immediately, but was thinking about whether to take action.

A fox-man bishop stood up and said: "Your Excellency Cardinal Archbishop, I believe that now is not the time for revenge."

The old man asked in surprise: "Why?"

"Your Excellency, Cardinal Archbishop, that Mr. Fish somehow used some method to gain insight into part of the Dark Council's plan and made it public.

Now in the chaotic land, whether it is the lowest first-level tribe or the seventh-level tribe with tens of millions of people, they all hate our Dark Parliament.

If we attack rashly now, we may very well fall into Mr. Fish’s trap.”

"Then you can't just do nothing, right?" a certain Tauren executive said angrily.

The fox-man bishop shook his head and said: "At this stage, it is best for the Dark Council to remain silent and reduce its presence as much as possible.

After the storm has passed, it is time for us to take action.

Otherwise, he will only become the target of public criticism and be besieged and killed by all the tribes.

If it were in the outside world, the Dark Council would naturally not be afraid of anyone, even the old enemies of the Holy See of Light. We would dare to fight head-on.

But in the chaotic land, everyone's level is suppressed, and facing the large tribes with large numbers of people, they cannot gain any benefits."

"What are you afraid of? When did the people of the Dark Council become afraid to death? I don't want to be a coward."

The fox-man bishop explained: "It's not a question of whether you're afraid of death, but it's not cost-effective.

Don’t forget, everyone, our final mission into the chaotic land this time.

What's the point of feeling a little wronged before the ultimate mission is completed?

In addition, we can just use the dormant period to improve the shortcomings of the method of controlling people and find a way to erase the mark.

When new methods come out, the Dark Council can control the top leaders of each tribe on a large scale without worrying about being discovered."

"What should we do with the three divine targets of the Phoenix Tribe?"

"Those three little girls will be used at the end of the plan. There is no need to alert others at this stage, and we are not without alternatives. If it doesn't work, we can choose to abandon those three goals and use alternatives to complete the plan."

"That makes sense."

"Well, for the coming of a new era, I agree to the proposal just now and hibernate temporarily."

"I agree too."

The old man finally made a final decision: "Then let the believers in each stronghold move their positions, then hibernate, study and improve the method of controlling people, and wait for the storm to pass before taking action."

"It's the Cardinal Archbishop."

…

After cleaning up more than 20 strongholds, Yu Yi went to several new strongholds in succession, only to find that the buildings were already empty.

Only then did he realize that the enemy had discovered his traces.

Yu Yi had to stop his plan to attack the Dark Parliament.

The same goes for Jiang Yuyao on the other side.

…

Yu Yi's consecutive sets of combo punches had already inflicted painful wounds on the rats of the Dark Council, who chose to avoid fighting.

On the contrary, it left a lot of development opportunities for the Phoenix Tribe and Qingluan Tribe.

Without the threat of external forces, both tribes embarked on a path of rapid development.

In the Phoenix Tribe, all projects that were stopped due to the war have been restarted.

New weapons are officially sold to all major tribes.

The Qingluan tribe is responsible for the transactions between tribes of the same level and above.

For tribes below level five, the Phoenix tribe is responsible for contacting and cooperating.

The two tribes have a clear division of labor to hide from others.

After the hunt for the Dark Council ended, Jiang Yuyao also returned to the Phoenix Tribe.

Inside the meeting hall.

Luo Ya, Jiang Yuyao, Qu Hanyan, and Bai Xiaomeng were sitting opposite each other.

Yu Yi tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said: "After the siege, Yang Wudi and other ten allied tribes each sent about 30,000 slaves, totaling more than 300,000.

Yan'er, you allocate slaves to various projects. Weapons casting and mountain road construction are the two projects that are most short of manpower. You can allocate more.

The urgent task now is to mine more ores and build more weapons.

Used to sell and equip tribes to prevent them from being besieged again.

After these slaves are successfully trained in the future, they can return to their normal status and enjoy citizen treatment."

"Okay, brother." Qu Hanyan nodded.

Yu Yi glanced at Jiang Yuyao: "Yu Yao, you and the council will be responsible for receiving the various tribal missions that have come to Divine Phoenix City recently.

We have a lot of weapons and commodities. If you are not an ally and want something, we will kill you ruthlessly.

The tribe's various construction projects, weapons production, and commodity manufacturing all require money, and they are very short of money now.

At the same time, use Black Pearl to contact Luan Fengyi to unify the price."

"Okay." Jiang Yuyao accepted the order happily.

Yu Yi continued: "Xiaoya, when you are in charge of the defense of the Phoenix tribe, pay more attention to which tribes have flying legions, so that you can make plans in the future."

"Yes, Brother Yi." Luo Ya recorded meticulously and nodded.

Yu Yi finally set his sights on Bai Xiaomeng and said: "Xiaomeng, ask Le Nier to assign spy guards to continue looking for traces of the Dark Council.

Pay attention to your own safety first and evacuate immediately if discovered.

In addition, send a group of spy guards to lurk in various tribes to collect information in a timely manner."

Bai Xiaomeng's character is not suitable for taking charge of the spy agency.

Yu Yi specially asked the fox girl Le Nier to serve as the deputy commander of the spy guards to assist the little cat girl in handling affairs.

"Okay, Master, meow~"

After he distributed the tasks, he did not sit idle and came to Yuan Li's research institute.

"Xiaoyuan, have you made any new progress in your research?"

"Brother Yu, come in quickly." Yuan Li was very excited when he saw Yu Yi appear.

He calls Yu Yi "Master Yu" in formal situations and "Brother Yu" in private situations.

"Brother Yu, after many studies and experiments on the Mauser rifle drawings you gave me, I finally made the finished product."

"Really? Take me to see it quickly."

The two came to the institute's shooting range and took out a Mauser rifle from the shelf.

Yu Yi took the Mauser rifle and observed it carefully.

Whether it is a Lumi gun sold externally or a Mini rifle equipped, it is a muzzle-loading gun.

Both weapons are loaded from the muzzle.

Not only is it a waste of time, but it is also easy to be sniped by the enemy while reloading, which is very inefficient.

The Mauser rifle is a breech-loading gun, loading ammunition from the rear, and uses rifle bullets, which is more advanced than the front-loading gun.

From the era of muzzle-loading guns to breech-loading guns, the first truly breech-loading gun was the Dresser m1841.

It was the world's first widely adopted breech-loading rifle.

However, Yuyi did not use the Dresser rifle, but chose the more advanced Mauser rifle in one step.

The Mauser rifle was a rifle commonly used in Germany during World War II.

In 1867, the two Mauser brothers designed a breech-loading single-shot gun with a rotating locking bolt, based on the French Chassebou breech-loading gun.

This rifle was adopted by the German army in 1871 and named the Type 71 rifle.

This is the first Mauser rifle in history.

Since then, after several improvements, Mauser rifles of 71, 84, 89, 96 and other models have been born, as well as the most famous Mauser 98k.

The Mauser rifle in Yu Yi's hands is the most advanced 98k improved model.

The blueprint for this rifle was actually delivered to Yuanli together with the Lumi gun, but due to technical limitations, it was not built until now.

The effective range of a regular Mauser rifle is about 800 meters. It still has a killing effect at 1,500 meters, but it loses its accuracy.

"Bang!"

With the sound of a gunshot, a large hole was punched into the target 800 meters away, and the effect was astonishing.

After Yu Yi tried the Mauser rifle, he commented: "Hmm... not bad, but there are some minor flaws and the accuracy is not enough."

Yuan Li smiled and said: "Hehe... Brother Yu, don't worry, I have solved these minor problems. There are the latest improvement drawings in the laboratory, we are just waiting for mass production."

"Well, that's good. How is the production line design going?"

"The production line of new weapons is difficult to design. The main reason is that our steam engines have not yet been manufactured and we lack corresponding power equipment.

Attempting to rely on manual mass production of high-precision firearms such as Mauser rifles will seriously delay production."

Yu Yi nodded and said: "There is no need to rush to build the new production line for the time being. Mauser rifles can be produced manually in small batches and equipped with combat teams that often go out on missions to improve their combat capabilities and survivability."

Yuan Li responded: "Okay, then I will hand over the drawings and manufacturing process to the weapons foundry department later."

"Take me to see the progress of the steam engine."

"OK."

Inside the Qi Research Institute.

Researchers of different races and skin colors gathered in front of the steam engine and discussed with each other.

Many researchers were taking notes with paper and pens. It seemed that they had just completed an experiment.

When Yu Yi and Yuan Li entered, all the researchers bowed respectfully.

"No need to be polite."

More than ten steam engines have been built in the research institute.

Yu Yi wandered around one of the new steam engines for a while and found that it was much smaller than the original one, but it still did not meet his expectations.

He couldn't help but ask: "Hasn't the material problem been solved? Why is the steam engine still so big?"

An old man in a white coat came out, cupped his hands and said: "Master Yu, the problem of air leakage in the gaps between the components of the steam engine has been solved through the monk's advice.

If the volume is reduced, the thickness of the metal sealing shell outside the steam engine needs to be reduced.

However, if the thickness is reduced, the strength of the shell will not meet the standards, and explosions may easily occur.

The shell can be replaced with alchemical materials, but the cost is too high and not cost-effective.

After all, steam engines will be produced on a large scale in the future, and there are not so many alchemy materials available in the chaotic land."
