Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

"Are those damn knights coming to raid again?"

"It looks like the base will be moved again."

In the dark and damp cave, the dim candlelight flickered, and Xinghuo looked solemn.

After several days of pursuit and interception by the Carter Principality's army, the slave workers he brought out from the Valier Mine suffered heavy casualties, and hundreds of them stayed there forever.

"They're too powerful."

Nick lowered his head, his expression gloomy.

His friend in the mine died in the battle. The army sent by the principality was surprisingly terrifying. Nearly a hundred slave workers who stayed behind were all slaughtered by the heavily armored knight known as "Carter's Eagle" alone. The bloody The scene remains unforgettable to him.

"He's a professional."

"We can't go on like this. The gap between us and these guys with extraordinary power is really too big."

Starfire said as she spread out the parchment map.

After several days of fierce fighting, he had become a first-class warrior, but he had no equipment and was no match for the heavily armored knights sent by the Carter Principality.

"etc--"

Starfire crossed her hands and held her chin, as if thinking about something.

"Maybe we can use outside forces."

Nick smiled bitterly: "All the countries in the North have issued ultimatums. They want to cut us into pieces. Although these countries have their own internal conflicts, they have the same hatred towards us defecting serfs."

"The 'external forces' I am talking about do not refer to the countries in the North."

Nick said in astonishment: "You mean"

Starfire grinned and smiled meaningfully:

"Since they slander us as devils and beasts, we have no choice but to cooperate with another group of devils."

As a well-known plot party player, Xinghuo has the contact information of many closed beta players, and now these have become his contacts to find a way out for "Tinder".

He opened the panel and looked at the "Steel Frenzy" on the list, the famous president of the Mechanicum.

North Wind Castle, Mechanicum headquarters, "Mars" palace.

On the door is a gear emblem full of technology.

A passage is engraved on its base: "In the name of the sacred binary, loudly praise Omnisiah, and all glory be to the God of all machines!"

This group of artificer players from [Cult Mechanicus] have taken cosplay to the extreme.

Iron Frenzy is currently in the hall approving documents and is very busy. There are several ogre guards beside him - they say they are protecting Steel Frenzy's safety, but in fact they are supervising his work.

Since the last time he misappropriated public funds to build a mecha, Trump has sent several cronies to supervise him at all times to prevent a similar situation from happening again. Even large-scale fund transfers must be reported to superiors.

Steel Frenzy is crying without tears, in his own words:

"I'm not the president here, I'm just a coolie."

Recently, [Mechanicum] has attracted many high-quality talents with real value and assigned them high-level positions in technical positions. They have rapidly advanced the technology tree, combining real-world technology with magical reactions, and have created semi-automatic firearms, howitzers, and even designed magical tanks.

It can be foreseen that a new round of iteration of weapons in the Kingdom is about to begin.

Steel Frenzy looked at the next document.

"Project No. 127: Early Internet Architecture Based on Magic Network - Remote Magic Terminal Connection"

He couldn't help but swallow. Being the president of this hidden guild would always make him feel ashamed.

"Holy crap, where did this big boss come from? How fast is the progress? The Holy Binary is really about to start now."

Suddenly, a message came from the system panel of Steel Frenzy, which also made him temporarily put down the files at hand.

Starfire: Brother Kuangchao, are you there?

Spark: Are you interested in sponsoring a batch of arms?

Steel Frenzy:?

Steel Mania has also heard about the "Tinder" organization established by Spark.

After all, the "Waril Riot" was published in the special section of the Kingdom Daily and became a major event that was talked about in the country. It was even praised by the Kingdom's officials, who called it the "Mine Uprising."

Steel Frenzy: White Wolf with Empty Gloves, right?

Xinghuo: How can you say that? This is investing in the future!

Steel Frenzy: I don’t have this authority now. I was fined last time I built a mecha.

Starfire: Then report it to the higher-ups. The enemy of our enemy is our friend. I believe the higher-ups in the kingdom will be happy to assist us.

Steel Frenzy: Okay.

Iron Frenzy suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to get some extra funds, which might allow him to build another mecha.

As for the firearms for assistance, wouldn’t it be enough to pack up the obsolete junk and send it there?

Thinking of this, he closed the chat interface and patted the sleepy ogre next to him.

"Fat skin?"

"What are you doing?"

"Don't try to play any tricks, and don't try to get close. I studied in Mr. Trump's accounting class, and you still owe the kingdom a sum of money."

The ogre known as "Fat Skin" opened his eyes, waved his hands, and said impatiently.

"I have something important to report to Mr. Trump."

"oh."

Fatty murmured, took out a crystal stone from his backpack, and activated it skillfully.

Soon, Trump's ugly and scary face appeared in the magical image.

"What's up?"

In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, and to escape from the ogre's surveillance as soon as possible, a flattering smile suddenly appeared on Steel Frenzy's face.

"Lord Trump, the leader of the 'Tinder' organization in the Carter Principality contacted me."

"oh?"

Trump's voice was calm.

He had long guessed that those rebellions were caused by the Starfallers, and he was happy to see them come to fruition.

Steel Frenzy continued to report: "They hope to obtain a batch of arms and some supplies from the Kingdom to help them resist the pursuit of the countries in the North. I wonder if you can approve another amount of funds?"

Trump said calmly: "There is no need to specially approve a fund."

"A few years ago, the army eliminated a batch of muskets and they have been stacked in the warehouse. This time they can all be sent to them. When the assembly line is improved to semi-automatic rifles and the army's equipment is iterated, those outdated firearms can also be used Sell ​​it to them at a low price.”

Trump's tone paused, and there was a warning in his eyes.

"In addition, the kingdom's official will naturally support these actions, so you don't need to worry about the Mechanicus."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, leader, I'll go tell him right now."

Seeing that Trump saw through his little plan to defraud funds at a glance, Steel Frenzy suddenly smiled apologetically and kept echoing.

When the magic image was cut off, he lay down on the chair tiredly.

"It's okay to be crushed by the big guys in the guild."

"How can you still be crushed by the intelligence of NPCs in the game——"

Steel Frenzy wailed silently in his heart.

Write some player reactions to enrich the content of the interaction between players and indigenous people, and start pushing the main story in two chapters.
