Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480: Power Synergy

"That’s hard to say! I’ve already lost hope for the bottom line of the Three Great Councils. After all, they are the stronghold of the magic realm. If they really gather a large army to block us and force us to submit, we must make corresponding preparations! Because everyone knows that our greatest weakness is the lack of military strength in this area of magical abilities." Bearing the key to victory and defeat this time, Pei Yan must consider all possibilities, and understanding the overbearing attitude of the councils towards different realms, the Three Great Councils are very likely to react this way.

"Alright! What do you want me to do? Should I move far away from the crowd and summon my model army? But during the attack on the Vlad Clan, the Bright Church and that witch were spectators. I think they will notice this, and once they discover I’ve summoned such an army, they will definitely find a way to swiftly eliminate me first." Jiang Feiyang pondered for a moment and voiced his concern.

"I have another idea for this." Pei Yan chuckled upon hearing this, leaned over to Jiang Feiyang, and shared insights from his recently awakened magical abilities and his plans.

Listening to Pei Yan’s arrangements, Jiang Feiyang grew excited. He stood up and paced around the room, calculating the feasibility of such a plan in his mind.

Eventually, he sat back down in the chair, rubbed his hands enthusiastically, and said, "This might actually work! Combining our abilities, I can summon a Tang Dynasty army, and you can mechanize this army. By using both of our abilities simultaneously, you can break through the control limits, while I enhance the manipulation of the models with the energy consumption greatly reduced."

Speaking of it, Jiang Feiyang suddenly realized some issues: "Wouldn’t it be possible to involve Xia Yu too? Isn’t she capable of absorbing steel abilities and condensing them into many Steel Puppets? This way, wouldn’t our momentum be even greater!"

Pei Yan shook his head to dismiss this idea: "We could do this, but the Steel Puppets Xia Yu refines are just for show. They have poor self-awareness and aren’t responsive. Besides having great strength and intimidating looks, they are easy targets in real fights. Although I can grant them a part of consciousness awakening, this would consume too much of my ability. So, I’ve decided to let Xia Yu summon them to create an imposing formation and equip them with firepower, acting as mobile artillery to suppress enemy fire while attracting their attacks. The main force still relies on you! Whether it’s the Tang Army models you’ve released before or the current models, I’ve found the soldiers you conjure to be quite spirited and flexible in combat, which is why I asked you for cooperation. So, do you have any difficulties in achieving this goal?"

"Yes!" Jiang Feiyang, seeing Pei Yan’s straightforwardness, didn’t hide his concerns either and replied, "The reason why you see my models appearing so spirited after I catalyze them is that they are intricately crafted in their model state. The more exquisite and lifelike the models, the higher the level of spirit they possess when catalyzed to human size. The biggest problem now is that I don’t have enough model prototypes! I have three thousand Tang Army soldier puppet models in my bag, but I haven’t ordered more since my advancement because I rarely use them. There are one hundred mechanical replica Soldier Puppets and sixteen thousand modern soldier puppets, custom-made for potential losses in battle by the department and stored in my Storage Ring for backup. Not to mention these don’t match your requirements, even if they did, adding them all up wouldn’t reach your expected quantity."

"Ah! That is indeed a problem!" Pei Yan felt like a bucket of cold water was splashed over him by Jiang Feiyang, and his spirits dampened as he sighed, resting his chin on his hand.

"Yes, if you had said so earlier, it would have been better. Now, there’s less than two days left until the agreed date, and rushed orders won’t make it in time! Providing new models, then remodeling the production line, followed by mass production—no matter how fast, it would take more than half a month." Jiang Feiyang was also at a loss about this.

"It’s also because I’ve only awakened these abilities after my advancement! I’m not Ye Ruozai, capable of foreseeing!" Seeing his plan fail, Pei Yan answered grumpily, "It seems this plan can only be saved for next time against the Blood Fiends."

Just as the two were lamenting in the room, Zhao Yuanhu entered to check on Pei Yan’s condition after his awakening. Seeing them in this state, he asked puzzledly, "Why are you two looking so gloomy in here?"

Lazily, Pei Yan recounted his plan’s collapse to Zhao Yuanhu briefly, and upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanhu turned to Jiang Feiyang and asked, "Are there any requirements for these Soldier Puppet models? Material and such?"

"There’s no requirement for materials. As long as they look the part! It’s best if every detail is realistic; if it’s other models, considerations like coloring, clothing, facial expressions, and striving for authenticity would be needed. This way, when activated by magical abilities, their spirit is higher, but given the tight time, the requirements aren’t as high this time; detailed craftsmanship alone would suffice." Jiang Feiyang, disappointed at missing the chance to personally lead a grand army, replied weakly.

"Why don’t you ask Xia Yu? All you need is the model prototype; she can use steel abilities to create identical copies. Even if you don’t ask Xia Yu, couldn’t Pei Yan, who has absorbed so much material, condense a model?" Zhao Yuanhu looked at the two in the room like they were fools.

"Right! Why didn’t I think of that?! No, wait, that won’t work!" Jiang Feiyang’s initial excitement was followed by self-denial, "Models condensed with abilities return to energy when placed in the Storage Ring Space, getting isolated from the owner’s source energy, and would dissipate upon reopening the ring. The opponent wouldn’t give you enough time to condense them again on the battlefield."

"That’s dumb! We don’t need to condense, just use real materials! We’ve been overcomplicating things!" Pei Yan slapped his forehead and said, "After sleeping for over ten days, my brain’s gone fuzzy! If it weren’t for Yuan Hu’s reminder, I’d still be muddled! We can directly find real-world materials and then have Xia Yu and myself modify them. Magic abilities would only aid the assembly process. This way, the results would be tangible and wouldn’t disappear in the Storage Ring Space."

"Right!" Jiang Feiyang also got excited.

With a solution in mind, Pei Yan wasted no time, jumped from the bed, and hugged Zhao Yuanhu, giving him a big kiss and praising, "You’re truly my lucky star! I love you!"

After speaking, he left the room without looking back, leaving Zhao Yuanhu blushing, and after a moment returned, grabbed the door frame, and shouted at Jiang Feiyang in the room with an embarrassed look, "Why are you still standing there, hurry up! We don’t have much time left and you’re dawdling!"

"Oh! Coming!"
