Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1410 638: Twin Brothers

In the laboratory, Pei Yurong huddled in the corner, surrounded by pools of blood.

Li Banfeng crouched closer to Pei Yurong and said, "I have some coordinates here, said to be the base where you developed the Controllable Magnetic Storm Weapon. Could you tell me the coordinates again?"

Pei Yurong provided the coordinates, and Li Banfeng continued asking, "How do you usually deliver the supplies for experiments to the offshore base?"

"By ships."

"Do you remember the license numbers of the ships?"

"I really don't remember, these tasks aren't handled by me personally!"

"Surely you know how many ships there are?"

"Yes, there are six ships in total."

The coordinates and number of ships she mentioned matched exactly what Gu Hao had told him. Li Banfeng opened the Pocket Watch and had Meng De verify once more; there was no change.

"When do you plan to deploy the Controllable Magnetic Storm Weapon?"

"Once we've accumulated enough energy, we will begin the attack the day after tomorrow."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "So soon?"

"Yes, it's under the Demon Lord's instructions. The Demon Lord will attack Huan Country the day after tomorrow, and Yuezhou will be his first stop."

"Why target Yuezhou first?"

"Because Yuezhou is adjacent to Three-Head Fork, which is the grip point for Demon Lord Chernoborg."

"What is a grip point?"

Pei Yurong recited the scriptures from Hundred Demons Workshop to Li Banfeng: "The great Demon Lord Chernoborg extends his right arm beyond his domain, tightly grasping the soil leading to the lowly land,

the lowly land longs for the Demon Lord's guidance and enlightenment, but the Demon Lord has faced betrayal and desecration in his homeland,

yet he hasn't abandoned the beings of the lowly land, still tightly holding onto this undeveloped land during the brutal battle,

some parasites have crawled onto the Demon Lord's arm, attempting to claim his flesh and blood as their own, the enraged Demon Lord, after defeating the traitors, intends to eradicate all of these pests..."

Li Banfeng listened attentively to every word Pei Yurong said, pondering whether to find a translator for this person.

She spoke such a long passage, which to Li Banfeng sounded entirely like a mythical story.

But upon careful thought, this myth seemed somewhat special.

Exactly how special, Li Banfeng couldn't pin down, yet it felt strongly connected to some knowledge he had previously encountered.

Pei Yurong couldn't clearly explain much, so she found a doctrine from among the scattered corpses and handed it to Li Banfeng, who glanced through it; the content was quite obscurely written and seemed hard to comprehend, possibly due to translation issues.

Is there anyone who can help Li Banfeng interpret it?

"I heard from Gu Hao that there's a Lavsha person here who is the Demon Lord's envoy."

"Yes, a large part of our actions are under his command, and many of our technologies were provided by him!" Pei Yurong's eyes showed a glimmer of hope; if Li Qi identifies the Demon Lord's envoy as the mastermind, she might still have a chance.

Li Banfeng was indeed very interested in the Lavsha person: "Where is he now?"

"He's still in Yuezhou! He's lecturing in our workshop."

Li Banfeng smiled: "So you have another workshop? Can you take me there?"

"I can!" Pei Yurong cooperated eagerly.

Li Banfeng stood up and sent a message to Chen Changrui.

...

At the venue, Chen Changrui's veins were throbbing constantly; he had been in meetings for over three hours, and still, the nature of the Hundred Demons Workshop organization remained inconclusive.

"Comrade Changrui, we'd like to hear your thoughts."

Chen Changrui didn't know what else to say; he had voiced countless times that his opinion was to immediately deploy combat personnel to destroy the research base of the Magnetic Storm Weapon.

But since the higher-ups were asking, Chen Changrui couldn't ignore it; he was about to speak when his phone vibrated twice in his pocket.

Chen Changrui checked his phone, a move that sparked dissatisfaction among many.

"Comrade Changrui, at such an important meeting, you actually brought your phone into the venue. What attitude is this?"

Chen Changrui looked up and didn't answer the attitude question, because he had more important information to convey: "Head Li Qi has determined the time of the enemy's attack; it's the day after tomorrow."

"Forget the day for now; let's address your attitude first... What attack did you mention?"

Chen Changrui elaborated: "According to Hundred Demons Workshop's narrative, it's the Demon Lord's attack, and according to our conjecture, it's an attack from Dark Star Third Planet. Their target is Yuezhou, aiming to open the exit at Three-Head Fork."

The venue fell silent instantly.

Ten minutes later, the meeting reached a conclusion.

Immediately dispatch a special operations team to destroy the research base of the Magnetic Storm Weapon, led by Dark Star Bureau, exerting full effort to arrest members of Hundred Demons Workshop, issuing emergency notices to the Defense Agency to prepare for war.

Chen Changrui breathed a sigh of relief; before the war ensues, they finally initiated the necessary response procedures.

It wasn't due to mishandling by the higher-ups, as Chen Changrui had been to Puluo State and understood the distinction between Puluo State and the Outside Provinces.

While the Outside Provinces follow their own procedures, once they activated the correct protocols, based on previous battle examples, the subsequent responses should be flawless.

The next day, issues arose.

Initially, the special operations team faced difficulty in their tasks; they located the offshore base in international waters and dispatched 170 high-performance drones for the mission.

However, the 170 drones couldn't complete the mission, as the offshore base activated the Magnetic Storm Weapon, disrupting communications for all drones within a 20 nautical mile radius.
