Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

Although it sounds a bit strange, the more sophisticated the machinery, the more pampered it is.

Robots like mechanical guards require careful care and maintenance on a daily basis, and they also need to replenish energy at regular times and locations like humans.

Even a robot will go on strike if it is not given enough rest time.

The barrel of the mechanical guard's gun will melt due to overheating, and without fire suppression, it will be just a toy in front of the densely packed, durable and sturdy zombie army.

And so Fontaine was in trouble.

The Fontaine people were unable to fight the zombie army in a place filled with the original fetal sea water. The main fighting force on the battlefield of Melo Petersburg was a large number of mechanical guards.

However, the special structure of Mellow Petersburg cannot accommodate enough mechanical guards, and Fontaine officials cannot use weapons of mass destruction to bomb zombies.

The former is because Melro Petersburg was originally used as a prison, and the narrow corridors are not suitable for legion operations. This limits the number of mechanical guards, but in turn limits the number of enemy zombies.

The latter is due to the special location of Melo Petersburg.

Melropietersburg was built under the sea, and below it is the entrance to the original fetal sea.

Melo Petersburg is like a huge cage, confining the zombies within this range. As long as Melo Petersburg is not breached, there is no need to worry about the zombies running out.

However, once large-scale and powerful lethal weapons such as large bombs are used, not to mention how many zombies can be killed, if the walls of Melo Petersburg are blown up, the zombies will be released.

Trying to find scattered zombies in the vast ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thus, in the place of Merlot Petersburg, a delicate balance is maintained between Fontaine and the undead.

Although it seems that Fontaine has the upper hand, in the long run, it is only a matter of time before Melo Petersburg is conquered and occupied by zombies.

First, the Fontaine people dissolved into the seawater of the Primordial Sea and were unable to enter the Primordial Sea to counterattack the undead creatures. The undead creatures were inherently invincible.

Secondly, the Fontaine people are facing a financial crisis. Mechanical guards look handsome and powerful, but they are not cheap, especially since they require energy to operate, which is a huge cost.

As the saying goes, when a cannon goes off, there is a thousand taels of gold.

The undead tribe only invested the most common zombie cannon fodder, while Fontaine invested real money.

In the first month of the war with the Undead, most of the mechanical guards previously transported to Melo Petersburg were almost consumed.

In order to maintain their advantage on the battlefield, Fontaine officials had to requisition mechanical guards from all over the country and have the factories that manufactured them run at full capacity.

Accompanied by Villette and Duke Leosli, the water goddess Finina personally went to the battlefield. Even though there was a battlefield full of artillery fire ahead, with zombie remnants and ashes scattered everywhere, as well as the bodies of abandoned mechanical guards, Finina forced herself not to show any fear.

Perhaps the only good news that Furninna received during this month was that she got in touch with herself in the mirror—the real water god Furkaros!

At the suggestion of herself in the mirror, Furninna finally decided to seek help from other countries.

The arrival of the airship, symbolizing reinforcements, boosted the morale of the garrison in Melottiye.

……

While flying the airship to Fontaine, Lu Ming was busy studying the Demonic Scale Disease on Cole.

Although Cole was very reluctant to lie on the operating table because it reminded her of the painful experience of being used as an experimental subject in the Fatui, with the company of her close friend Amber and Lu Ming's reputation and credibility, Cole finally cooperated with the examination obediently.

It was not possible for Lu Ming to cure the Demonic Scale Disease on Ke Lai, but on the second day after Ke Lai boarded the airship, Lu Ming cured Ke Lai of the Demonic Scale Disease.

The real difficulty is how to develop a quick and efficient method to cure the Demonic Scale Disease.

Lu Ming's method of curing Ke Lai could not be replicated by others, which meant that if one wanted to cure the Demonic Scale Disease, Lu Ming had to personally perform the operation. However, there were so many Demonic Scale Disease patients, and Lu Ming had to spend so much time to treat them one by one.

Although it sounds cruel, Lu Ming is not obliged to cure patients with Molin disease. He is a scientist, not a doctor.

However, for Nashida's sake, Lu Ming was still willing to try.

After all, Nashida is adorable, and as the god of a country, the face of the God of Grass is still very valuable.

After careful research, Lu Ming finally came to the conclusion that in order to completely cure the Demonic Scale Disease of the Xumi people, it is necessary to eradicate the source of the Demonic Scale Disease, the culprit that caused the Xumi people to suffer from the Demonic Scale Disease - forbidden knowledge!

Taboo knowledge is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two. It is more important to support Fengdan now. At least with the special medicine sent by Lu Ming, the patients with Demon Scale Disease in Xumi can still survive for a long time.

Nashida's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Ming curing Cole's Demonic Scale Disease so quickly and providing a follow-up solution to the Demonic Scale Disease.

Nashida: "Even if it's for the people of Xumi, I have to protect Mr. Lu Ming!"

Behind Nashida, Wendy and Zhongli smiled at each other and high-fived to celebrate: Nashida joined Lu Ming's fan club.

……

Although the detour to Liyue and Xumi took some time, the airship developed by Lu Ming was still very fast when flying at full speed.

The airship arrived at Fontaine earlier than expected.

It was precisely because the airship arrived a few days earlier that Funina originally planned to meet several people in person at Momang Palace out of gratitude for these reinforcements and respect for Lu Ming.

When the airship landed from high altitude and arrived at the Momang Palace, the Fontaine people realized that the reinforcements had arrived ahead of time. At this time, Funina and Navilette were commanding the battle against the undead in Melo Petersburg.

After learning that the two key figures were not there, Lu Ming directly picked a Fontaine person, Charlotte, a reporter from the Steambird News, as a tour guide, and drove the airship to Mello Petersburg.

As a reporter, Charlotte had previously written an exclusive interview for Lu Ming, so the two were old acquaintances.

As a journalist who is always striving for the truth, Charlotte would naturally not refuse such a precious invitation.

Now the people of Fontaine are most concerned about first the battle situation on the front line of Mello Petersburg, and secondly when reinforcements from other countries will arrive.

Now Charlotte could actually obtain two kinds of precious information at the same time. Standing on the airship and looking at the reinforcements from various countries, she felt like she was hit by a pie in the sky and was dizzy.

Now, the sales of Steambird Newspaper will surely increase rapidly. Charlotte feels that she might be elected as the best reporter this year with this report!

As a journalist, Charlotte knew the importance of public opinion. Therefore, under her advice, Lu Ming did not let the airship fly too high, but chose to fly at a low altitude to let the people of Fontaine know that reinforcements had arrived.

From the mechanical guards patrolling the streets of Fontaine, it can be seen that Fontaine's technology tree is a bit crooked. They have even built intelligent robots, but they don't even have simple communication equipment.

However, airships are not rare in Fontaine, but an airship as large as the one made by Lu Ming is not common.

The people of Fontaine on the ground were extremely curious about the huge airship that suddenly appeared. At least they didn't have to worry about the people of Fontaine treating the airship as a monster.

Fontaine Citizen A: "Wow, such a big airship, was it made by those guys from the Academy of Sciences?"

Fontaine Citizen B: "No way, this big thing will take a lot of effort. Hasn't the Academy of Sciences been rushing to make mechanical guards recently? Where did they find the time?"

Fontaine Citizen C: "Hehe, you probably don't know this. I heard from my third aunt's eighth aunt's uncle's cousin's nephew's husband's father's friend that the person on this airship is Mond's great scientist Mr. Lu Ming, and there are reinforcements from other countries!"

Fontaine Citizen A: "Mr. Lu Ming! Great! Fontaine is saved!"

Fontaine Citizen B: "Great! I will tell others this news!"

……

Flying low all the way, the enthusiastic people of Fontaine followed the airship to express their gratitude to these volunteers from afar.

Everyone on the airship was moved by this enthusiasm and was ready to launch a heavy attack on the undead zombies in Mellow Petersburg, so as not to disappoint the enthusiasm of the people of Fontaine.

At this time, everyone in Mellow Petersburg finally received the news.

In order to ensure that he did not lose courtesy and to prevent the zombie army from catching the guards of Melopentsky Fort and launching a sneak attack when they were welcoming the guests, the Chief Judge Navilette transformed himself into a water-spraying dragon king and struck hard at the zombies!

Navilette: "O tide, I have returned!"

At this moment, Finina truly realized how powerful Villette's fighting power was. The zombies that used to pour into Melo Petersburg like a tide were killed in large numbers, and they had not emerged from the exit of the original fetal sea for a long time.

The Water Dragon King is so terrifying.

Finina looked at Navelette, who was floating down from the sky with a calm expression, and her mouth opened in shock.

Furninna: “Ah——!”

Navilette said to the shocked guards, "For at least half an hour, you don't have to worry about the counterattack of the undead creatures. But you still have to stay alert and report any abnormality in a timely manner!"

The guards looked at Villette with excitement, and shouted in unison: "Yes! Lord Villette!"

Looking at the guards who were full of vigor and vitality, Villette nodded with satisfaction and looked at Funina and said:

"Ms. Furninna, you can't be so rude in front of guests."

Finina came back to her senses, held her head high and said, "Of course the Water God knows this. As a god, I personally meet with them, which is considered to be enough face for these reinforcements."

If Funina was still worried about being exposed in front of outsiders before, this worry has completely disappeared since she contacted herself in the mirror. The self in the mirror has agreed to use her power when Funina needs it.

With the power of the water god and the recognition of the people of Fontaine, even if justice comes, Funina is still the real water god!

Since Villette had taken action, she didn't have to worry about the defense of Melo Petersburg in the short term, so she could relax and receive the visitors. The guards and mechanical guards here were not vegetarians either.

Although these guards cannot fight the undead zombies head-on because the Fontaine people have dissolved into the water of the original fetal sea, they have no problem suppressing them with firepower using long-range attacks.

Not to mention the use of bows and arrows, Fontaine also has single-shot flintlock rifles. Although it takes a long time to reload after firing a shot, the power is not bad. Most importantly, the guards accidentally discovered that after wearing elemental armor, they don’t have to worry about being affected by the water of the original fetal sea.

The elemental armor is like a protective shield that separates the wearer from the water of the original fetal sea. Before the outer armor of the elemental armor is broken, the Fontaine guards wearing the elemental armor do not have to worry about melting when it comes into contact with water.

Unfortunately, Fontaine spent a lot of money and effort, but only bought fifty sets of elemental armor, which was just icing on the cake for the battle of Melo Petersburg.

Funina and Navilette invited Lu Ming to come and support Fontaine, also hoping to get him to make more elemental armor.

……

Huh, huh, huh.

The huge airship continued to descend and hovered above Mellow Petersburg.

Although Melo Petersburg is located under the deep sea and relies on water and people's fear of the deep sea to imprison prisoners, this does not mean that diving is the only way to enter Melo Petersburg.

After discovering that the exit of the original fetal sea was beneath Melo Petersburg, Melo Petersburg was transformed from a prison into a war fortress and became the front line of the battle between the Fontaine people and the undead zombies.

Some of the prisoners originally in the prison were transferred to other prisons, while the others were directly incorporated into the guard force of Melopenemburg.

In order to motivate these guards who were originally criminals to fight, Duke Leosli, after obtaining the consent of Fernina and Navilette, announced that those who performed well in the battle with the undead could have their sentences reduced.

In addition, in order to facilitate the transportation of goods, weapons support, and personnel exchanges, Fontaine immediately built a huge elevator-like entrance above Mello Petersburg.

After all, not to mention the mechanical guards, the gunpowder and food reserves for the people in Mellow Petersburg all require a dry transportation environment.

Originally, Melo Petersburg could basically achieve self-sufficiency through the labor of prison inmates and underwater fish resources, but now most of the people in Melo Petersburg are focusing their energy on the battlefield and have no time to catch fish.

Therefore, the supplies in Melopentsky are now mainly transported by the huge elevator above.

And now, Funina, Navilet, and Leosli were standing at the elevator entrance above Melo Petersburg, waiting for the arrival of Lu Ming and others.

With the help of ladders and ropes, most of the combatants on the airship landed on the elevator, while the logistics personnel on the airship drove the airship to the nearest land.

Such a huge airship is a good choice for transporting supplies. It is better than transporting them bit by bit by bit with a small boat. And when Lu Ming was making the airship, he also considered using it to fight against the undead creatures head-on.

Therefore, Lu Ming installed many large-caliber elemental turrets around the airship to ensure that he could provide fire coverage as soon as the undead creatures showed up.
