As the current iconic building of the Dark Blade Legion, this floating city moves along an established route in the sky of the Eastern Continent all year round. It is a nearly perfect defensive and offensive war fortress, and there are many buildings on top of this palace.
It has amazing engineering equipment and some magic systems, but more often than not, Tyrion just regards it as a place where he and his family live.
But this time, the Black Temple carried a group of the most elite soldiers of the Dark Blade Legion. After dozens of minutes of flight, they arrived above the clouds of Pandaria from Stormwind City. Under the Black Temple was the deepest part of the majestic Kun-Lai Mountains.
The mountain range is also the location of Nalaksha's Engine.
"Buzz"
A huge blue portal opened at the entrance to the Dark Temple and Nalaksha Engine at the same time. Under the leadership of the two Death Lords, 200 carefully selected Dark Blade soldiers wore uniform black military uniforms and carried bags on their backs.
Appeared in this snow-covered valley.
In front of them, Lord Yrel, who was stationed at Nalaksha Engine, was standing at the entrance of the engine gate, welcoming the first batch of visitors to the Dark Blade Legion's greatest secret place.
"Great Lord!"
Yrel flicked his tail and bowed to the great lord who led the soldiers to Nalak'sha's engine. Tyrion nodded, and then motioned to Grokush and Danas to bring the soldiers in front of them first.
In the palace, he and Yrel were walking behind. The great lord looked at the renovated treasure house door in front of him, and he asked softly:
"How has the engine been running these past few months?"
"Everything went smoothly, not too many problems."
Yrel answered simply:
"Lai's subordinates, those old-fashioned guardians will go back and forth between the Nalaksha Engine and the Origin Forge every month. They will send enough Titan energy to run the engine for a month, but every time it is just right, and never more.
, and a lot of gifts... The far rotation of Nalaksha's engine is currently in charge of Lai's adjutant, Norush, who was rescued from the cave. It can create three times a day, and on average, it can create nearly
1,000 qualified rock constructs.”
"Well, the output is a bit low."
Tyrion nodded and asked again:
"How many structures are in stock first?"
"5,000 units!"
Yrel reported in detail:
"This refers to the number of standard structures. If you include the reconnaissance and defensive structures, the total number is 6,500. If you also include the batch of stock structures made by the Mogu, the number can reach 7,500.
Taiwan is barely enough to arm an army."
"No!"
Tyrion shook his head, and he stepped into the engine base that was defended by the death knights. He said to Yrel face to face:
"The structures made by the Mogu cannot be used by us. They do not conform to the action mode of the Dark Blade soldiers. It is like letting a human soul control the body of an elephant. They will feel very uncomfortable.
, This will weaken their combat effectiveness and even affect their thinking mode, so I only need those standard structures."
Having said this, Tyrion thought of something again and asked:
"Has the soul core loading test been completed?"
"Well, it's done!"
Yrel confidently said to Tyrion:
"The first structure with a perfect soul fit and a synchronization rate of more than 120%, codenamed "Tin Man" has completed all four phases of training. She can even be the subject of today's demonstration project. Don't worry, head, this
There will never be a problem once.”
"I always feel at ease when you do things."
Tyrion smiled and said to Yrel, but then he asked with a strange expression:
"I can understand that the first construct has a code name, but why is it called "Tin Man" such a weird name? Does it have any special meaning?"
When talking about this issue, Yirel shook her tail in embarrassment and whispered:
"Because Samaro likes watching the stage play "The Wizard of Oz", when I asked her to experiment with the construct, she privately gave her construct this name. The Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz has no heart, only cold
Body, she thinks this name suits her very well..."
"Oh, Samaro, I remember her."
Tyrion suddenly understood, and he said to Yrel:
"That was a Draenei ghost that was once attached to your body. It is said that she was your good friend who grew up together?"
"Well, yes, Samaro is my best friend."
Yirel crossed his arms with a normal expression, swung his tail and said:
"She's also my girlfriend! When we get married in the future, I will send invitations to you and Alleria."
"Um?"
This answer made Tyrion embarrassed.
He knew from Alleria very early on that Yrel, a beautiful and lovely hoof girl with a perfect body, had a slight problem with her sexual orientation... This was because she always liked to hang out with some of the female commanders in the legion in the dead world.
He could tell it by soaking in the hot springs, but he didn't expect that Yrel actually regarded the Draenei banshee in his body as his spiritual partner.
But then again, caring about the sexual orientation of subordinates does not seem to be what a boss should do...
So Tyrion hesitated for a few seconds and decided to pretend that he had never heard of this matter...
"Okay, then go and get your little girlfriend ready for the demonstration. This time there are two lords and 200 of the best soldiers watching. It's best not to make any mistakes, understand?"
"Well, no problem! Don't worry, great lord!"

"So what exactly is this so-called 'Overwatch'?"
Keeshan was sitting on the viewing platform of the underground training ground at the Nalaksha Engine Base. He was chatting in a low voice with the necromancer Menason next to him:
"I heard from the Ice Wind Commandos that this is a new weapon and equipment similar to power armor, but it is hard for me to imagine that because of a new weapon, all the legions that are performing missions will be recalled.
...This is a bit too exaggerated.”
"There's something weird behind this thing, head."
The necromancer whispered to Keeshan:
"I have been on duty in the military department in the past few weeks, but I have never heard any news about this plan. It seems to have jumped out of nowhere, but you and I both know that the Dark Blade's military plan has been from designation to
The execution steps are very tedious and rigorous, so I think this matter is part of a long-term plan that has been hidden for a long time... The last time I went to the "Ghost" pub in the dead world to drink, a
The big-ass chick was drunk, and she told me that our great lord has been preparing a big plan called "What the Gods Come Down"..."
"Maybe this "Overwatch" in front of me is part of that big plan."
"Buzz"
Just as these soldiers were whispering to each other, a buzz suddenly interrupted everyone's imagination. As the energy shield around the training ground in front of them was opened, a ray of light shone on the ground below like a stage light.
On the training ground, followed by a burst of low footsteps, a strange structure appeared in front of all onlookers with very natural steps.
It was a human-shaped structure. Its body seemed to be made of rock, but it didn't have the alienating feeling of a pile of rocks. It was as if it was carved from a whole piece of rock. It was about 5 meters high, and its arms were made of rock.
Holding weapons made of steel, two enlarged shotguns were inserted into his waist, and black tactical wristbands were placed on his wrists. He also carried a heavy rapid-fire cannon on his back, which was often placed on a steam tank, and
A heavy ammunition box.
Looks well armed.
She has a slender body similar to that of a woman, and recurved hooves like the Draenei. She also has a lifelike face on the body, and stone hair. In the eyes of the structure, there is a faint blue glow.
The light represents a truly active soul controlling this rock structure.
And on the steel breastplate worn by this blue rock structure, a slightly funny Tin Woodman emblem is engraved with feminine lines.
"Click"
The rock man turned around in a structural manner and gave a non-standard military salute to all the soldiers on the viewing platform.
Samaroo's feminine voice sounded on the training ground. There was no structural sound at all, and it perfectly restored the voice of the Draenei banshee. Facing her request, the great lord sitting in the first row waved his voice.
He waved his hand:
"Let's get started!"
"As you command!"
As Samaro's voice fell, the steel fence slowly opened around the huge underground training ground. All kinds of dangerous creatures were prepared in advance, captured from all over the world, from the demonized saber-toothed tiger to Northrend.
The mammoths of the mainland, from the elemental aberrations in the world of Draenor, to the ferocious Vulcan yaks of the Pandaria continent, from the dangerous crystal lizards of Kalimdor, to the unique Naga sea beasts of the Endless Sea.
In almost just a few seconds, the rock structure on the training ground was surrounded by a huge army of monsters. This scene made Keeshan sit up straight with interest. As a real warrior, he
It can be seen from the fighting posture of the structure that the person who controls the structure is not a real warrior, but the more so, the more interested he is in the outcome of the battlefield battle.
Keeshan already roughly understood in his heart...what the so-called "Overwatch" is.
"Bang"
Samar was a Draenei banshee. She was not a powerful warrior in her lifetime. She was better at releasing magic from a distance. However, when she manipulated a rock body with huge power and heavy defense, she was hiding in her heart.
The warrior's heart was activated. This slightly irritable banshee casually pulled out two huge cannon-like shotguns from her waist and took the lead in attacking.
Amidst the low roar of bullets, high-explosive bullets as thick as a baby's arm flew out of the shotgun's muzzle, carrying terrifying kinetic energy and noisy sound, knocking the mammoth in front of him from the center of his body.
It was torn apart, and this terrifying metal storm suppressed the monsters in front of the "Tin Man" in place with blood splattering, but it was unable to protect Samaro's back.
The scaly Naga sea beast roared and hit the back of the rock structure from behind. The huge and arrogant force knocked Samaro staggering, but the claws raised by the sea beast were only made by the Nalaksha engine.
A few insignificant claw marks were left on the super rock that came out, and while Samaroo was roaring, he turned around and knocked the Naga sea beast to the ground with a punch.
The power of life in this rock is huge. The banshee threw away the shotgun in her hand, raised her heavy fists, and punched the head of the Naga sea beast one after another. In just a few seconds, it was destroyed
The monster was smashed into a ball of meat paste.
This violent and chaotic bastard fist swing made many soldiers on the stage show contempt, but the terrifying combat power displayed by this rock structure shocked these soldiers.
But it’s not over yet!
After Samaro carried the heavy cannon on his back and swept away the remaining monsters with a sound like tearing cloth, like the wind blowing away fallen leaves, four guns were controlled by complex machinery around the training ground.
The howitzer aimed its muzzle at the rock structure covered in blood. This was also part of the demonstration, used to show everyone the defensive power of the rock structure.
"Boom boom boom boom"
Amid the roar of the artillery shells, the entire training ground was covered by the shock of the explosion and the heat of the flames. After the smoke from the three rounds of salvos dissipated, Samaro stood proudly in the middle of the messy training ground. The weapon she controlled
The "Tin Man" rock structure was bombarded by artillery at close range without even a single crack appearing.
This "super rock" made by the Nalaksha engine mixed with earth elements, although it is still called rock in nature, its hardness is far beyond ordinary steel.
Samaro completed the demonstration perfectly. She gave Tyrion an irregular military salute, and then quickly exited the training ground with everyone watching.
At this moment, the light in the training ground dissipated, and the entire dark viewing platform lit up again. Lord Tyrion stood up, looked back at the soldiers behind him, and said loudly:
"Maybe you've been thinking about what the hell this 'Overwatch' thing is all about... Now, you can see it in its entirety."
"Here, soldiers, please allow me to use some more emotional words as an evaluation of this observation...".
The great lord looked at the eyes of the best soldiers of Dark Blade in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"The black hands, ancient gods, elemental kings, demons and those crazy mortals who dare not be lonely hidden in the darkness of the world will not just give up on their arrogant ideals of destroying the world. They will stab out malicious tentacles from the ground.
The dark flames of war brought from the stars will try to use their pitiful power to destroy the new order we have created! They are like mice, peeping at the world we protect!"
"This world needs warriors... This world needs more... heroes!"
"That's why I call it Overwatch...My soldiers, we will be the vanguard in this world to destroy all opponents, and the only reason why we set foot on the battlefield is that we need to watch this new world shaped by our own hands...
Such a great and glorious sacrifice! Who can refuse it?"
"This plan will allow us to shed our cowardly flesh and blood, become a firmer rock and even a steel body in the future, and support an orderly sky for the world and our just cause! We will become stronger in the glory of the faded flesh and blood.
! More pure... We will step out of the earth, enter the stars, enter their battlefields, and give them a head-on attack!"
"A new era has arrived...the stars will no longer be able to restrain our steps! The space between the stars will become our new battlefield!"
"And the only thing I doubt is the soldiers of Dark Blade!"
The great lord's voice became deeper at this moment, as if he was deliberately irritating these brave warriors:
"Are you the kind of heroes I need who are willing to sacrifice everything to maintain the new order?"
