MMORPG: The Almighty Ring Chapter 3022

Having 0544 download the data, Jiang Fei turned back to Su Zhe and Su Rui. “Those four warehouses right behind you contain the ancient nemesis’ technological knowledge, weapons and equipment, civil technology, and medical equipment respectively. I've now unlocked the warehouses, so we can retrieve items from them.”

“That’s great! Then, what should we start with?” Su Rui was so excited that he was at a loss.

“Weapons!” Su Zhe declared. With war staring them down, everything else could wait. The top priority was grabbing the weapons first and training up the soldiers.

“Hmm, I agree.” Jiang Fei nodded.

“Alright!” Su Rui nodded, then bellowed to the servants and royal guards waiting outside, “Come in, carry the stuff!”

“Yes!” The servants and royal guards outside responded. They streamed into the hall behind their leaders, then filed orderly into the armory following Jiang Fei’s directions.

“Holy sh*t!” The moment Jiang Fei stepped into the armory, he froze in shock! He led the way since only he could unlock the electronic door. The armory’s immense scale alone blew Jiang Fei’s mind!

The whole armory filled nearly the mountain’s gut. Weapons and gear overflowed the place—from fighter jets and mechs down to all kinds of personal arms. One surprise for Jiang Fei, though: no battleships in sight.

After a quick think, though, Jiang Fei got it. Even with the mountain hollowed out for the armory, battleships’ gigantic sizes dwarfed this space. High-level civilizations built no ground-based military ports. The surface was too tight for docking those behemoths over ten kilometers long.

Super capital ships hundreds or thousands of kilometers in length? Forget landing on a planet’s surface. Their colossal mass and size meant escaping gravity wells guzzled astronomical energy.

“Let’s haul all this out...” Jiang Fei ordered the royal guards.

“Yes, sir!” The royal guards saluted and got to moving the gear.

“What do we do with these big fellas?” Su Rui gestured at the mechs nearby and asked.

“Uh...” Jiang Fei hesitated a bit. Sure, the seal was broken and Protoss now had access to mech weapons and equipment, but beyond basic personal weapons for immediate use, mastering mechs would take way more than three to five days.

Earlier, Jiang Fei had barely glanced before dropping the battleship seal probes for the exact same reason. These Protoss still carried mech bloodlines, but all tech know-how was lost. Turning them into battleship-ready soldiers would demand at least one or two years.

The exiles wouldn’t hand them that time or chance.

“Did those exiles fly in on a battleship? If so, I’d have to ditch Su Zhe and Su Rui to back the other side!” Jiang Fei mused silently. His real target was the level 2 password—whether aiding Protoss or exiles didn’t faze him.

Jiang Fei and the nemesis descendants were purely transactional. They gave him the level 2 password; he’d evacuate some nemesis descendants from the black hole.

So Jiang Fei held no real ties to these folks. Betrayal wasn’t even a concept here.

“This is unreal! Gear the ancestors built and fought with 10,000 years ago...” Su Rui approached a massive mech towering over 20 meters, its silver-white metal frame gleaming. Jiang Fei didn’t know its stats, but that aerodynamic build screamed serious firepower!

For weapons and equipment, good looks usually meant solid combat prowess—a universal truth.

“Right. 10,000 years ago, Planet Namek’s people were a hyper-advanced tech race!” Jiang Fei sighed in awe. Who’d guess that a millennium later, Planet Namek’s folk hadn’t advanced but reverted to stone-age basics?

As Jiang Fei kept lamenting, sudden clamor broke out from outside.

“What’s going on?” Su Zhe scowled.

“Your Majesty! Disaster strikes! The Elder Council's elders have sealed the exit with their troops. They're barring us from carrying these items away,” a Royal Guard officer dashed up to Su Zhe and reported.

“Hmph! Persistent as ever!” Su Zhe let out a cold snort. Despite their utmost secrecy in every step, being the divine king meant Su Zhe's actions always drew watchful eyes. Escaping the city under midnight's cover was doomed to stir alerts. The jittery Elders, already on high alert, caught the disturbance and raced to the secret chamber hidden below. There, they realized the key had vanished.

Consequently, these elders barreled toward the forbidden zone without pause. So, precisely as the imperial guards hauled the goods outward, the swift-arriving elders blocked their path.

“Useless wreckers, all of them. Brother, count me in!” Su Rui shot a word to Su Zhe before charging out furiously.

Su Rui stood as the champion of the pragmatic side. To him, the ten-thousand-year pact's result meant nothing. Securing war victory alone would shatter their chains of slavery, release the formidable sealed weapon, and smash the foes—it stood to reason.

Yet the elders, bound by their ancient ideals and ironclad convictions, committed no fault. Differing standpoints defined the rift. Su Rui and Su Zhe rejected the Elders' outlook entirely.

Exiting the cave, Su Rui confronted the elders. Alongside them gathered nearly every capital heavyweight. Wary of failing to halt the divine king from unleashing the seal solo, the elders rallied these allies. Their aim: overwhelm Su Zhe with pressure, forcing him to withdraw and scrap the seal-breaking plot.

“Hmph! What's the meaning of this gathering?” Su Rui demanded with a icy snort.

“Your Highness, opening this seal is forbidden. The old ancestor decreed it so!” affirmed the foremost elder.

“Hmph! Old ancestor's decree? Did the old ancestor proclaim you all born as slaves?” Su Rui snarled, eyes locked fiercely on the elder.
