Just like how two people with the same mana, mana fluctuations, and frequency didn't exist, the same thing could have subtle differences in the hands of different alchemists. These subtle differences would affect the success rate during the manufacturing process, and even if they succeeded, it would affect the power.
But the Grey Beastmen were different. They could make a puppet with many people at the same time, and it would be no different from a single person. Sometimes, a puppet made by many people working together might even be a bit stronger than a puppet made by a single person.
What was even more frightening was that the Grey Beastmen had a special trait. Not only could they work together to make something, but they could also make it surpass their own rank.
A group of alchemists might be able to make something that could only be made by Great Alchemists, or even something that could only be made by Master Alchemists.
It wasn't impossible to make something even stronger!
This kind of ability was the strongest aspect of the Grey Beastmen in the field of alchemy.
Thus, Lin Yun didn't care about a few dozen ordinary alchemists. With enough people, he would be able to handle some matters, and with enough people, there would be enough research.
The next day, Lin Yun dispatched even more puppets to conduct a reasonable search, as if he wanted to find all the entrances to the water passages.
On the same day, he once again destroyed a water passage that he had discovered earlier. With the entrance blocked, there was another large water passage in the Grey Beastmen's fort that couldn't produce any water.
This made the Grey Beastmen anxious, but the previous day's battle was still vivid in their minds. They wanted to secretly open those blocked water passages, but they were discovered. Their mission wasn't completed, and they couldn't even open the backup water passages.
On the third day, Lin Yun blocked another water passage. That night, the Grey Beastmen couldn't sit still. Taking advantage of the night, they dispatched over a hundred Grey Beastmen riding Beastmen. They then gave up on the cannon fodder puppets and only brought over a hundred Level 30 Elite puppets.
Lin Yun didn't immediately attack. Instead, he waited for the Grey Beastmen to open a blocked water passage before sending the mage army and the puppet army.
After another battle, over a hundred Grey Beastmen were captured, over seventy were captured, and over forty were released.
The captured Grey Beastmen were directly sent to the Radiant Fort.
Lin Yun took some time to return to the Radiant Fort and replenish some sword puppets. He had lost a few dozen sword puppets in the past few days, and most of them had been used to lure the Grey Beastmen. If he didn't give those guys some benefits and let them see some hope, how could they keep sending people?
Seven or eight days passed in a row. Lin Yun had yet to completely block all the entrances to the flowing water passages. If it were someone else, they might not be able to find all of these secret passages in a short period of time. However, Lin Yun's strength was getting stronger and stronger. So was his calculation ability.
Just by standing by the river and releasing his mana, Lin Yun could calculate the direction of the flow of water in the river. He could even detect the slightest decrease in the flow of water. Unless the entrances of the flowing water channels stopped drawing water, Lin Yun was no different from a bright lamp.
Every day, he would block an entrance and lure the Grey Beastmen out. One after another, he had already captured close to four hundred Grey Beastmen. Most of them were ordinary Alchemists, but there were a dozen Great Alchemists.
A large number of their clansmen had been captured, and they were all Alchemists. This made the Grey Beastmen somewhat anxious and they thoroughly gave up on sending more people out.
Lin Yun didn't block all the entrances to the flowing water passages. If he did, it would really drive the Grey Beastmen crazy. He didn't want to flatten the Grey Beastmen Tribe.
If it had been another Beastman Tribe, he would have just swept through them, but the Grey Beastmen were different. Their race wasn't native to the Raging Flame Plane, and they were also an alchemist race. Killing one of them would be a loss.
After three days, no more Grey Beastmen came out. Lin Yun knew that it was impossible to lure them out, so he might as well have the mage army and the puppet army start the siege.
The siege officially started, and the might of the Grey Beastmen's fort was thoroughly displayed.
Holes could be seen on the city walls, and thick cannons could be seen coming out of them. On the city walls, casting puppets could be seen clapping their hands, as well as box-like alchemy weapons, as well as metal blockhouses that the Grey Beastmen had rushed to refine.
When the battle started, the cannons sticking out of the holes on the city walls started blossoming with glaring flames. Huge fireballs with diameters of over ten meters loudly fell down.
After falling to the ground, they created a thirty-meter-wide hole in the ground, and the flames swept through everything within several dozen meters.
Those monstrous casting puppets walked to the edge of the city walls and spat out countless Firebolts. It was as if countless red lasers had burst out.
When these Fire Bolts fell within the puppet army, the fastest sword puppets were covered in charred marks.
As for the strange box-like puppet on the city walls, it had eight legs, and numerous patterns were floating on the box. Terrifying mana fluctuations were surging, and the front of the box was covered in numerous small holes that looked like a beehive.
In a split second, a large amount of light burst out from those small holes like a shower, and one after another, awl-like alchemy bombs shot out from those holes.
The countless bombs exploded on the ground, and the ground in front of the fort was filled with dust. One sword puppet happened to be enveloped by a large number of bombs.
Within a second, over a hundred alchemy bombs exploded on the sword puppet's body.
The concentrated flames exploded, and in an instant, the surface of that Level 30 sword puppet's body was blown away. Its two arms and head were blown into a pile of broken components.
As for the other blockhouse-like metal cover, a four-meter-long tube extended out. The tube was as thick as a thigh, and with a buzzing sound, a half-meter-thick Firebolt burst out of it and hit a casting puppet over two hundred meters away.
In an instant, that casting puppet's head rapidly turned red before collapsing like melted butter.
Facing this situation, Lin Yun remained expressionless. This kind of loss didn't matter.
Ever since those few hundred Grey Beastmen had been sent to the Radiant Fort, the production efficiency of the puppet base had rapidly increased. The missing research and development parts had also been patched up by a few hundred Grey Beastmen, and some important parts of the fort had been repaired.
And with the adjustments made by these Grey Beastmen, the efficiency of the underground base had sharply increased. Every day, puppets would be produced at a speed several times faster than before, and that speed was still slowly rising.
They didn't care about consumption. After those Grey Beastmen were sent to the Radiant Fort and dealt with by Lord Shawn, they all signed contracts, and after their deaths, their souls would continue to work for Lin Yun.
If there was reincarnation in this world, then these Grey Beastmen would be Lin Yun's people in their next life, and the life after that.
With a large number of puppets, Lin Yun didn't have to worry about the puppets being consumed too quickly.
The large number of puppets fearlessly rushed to the front of the Grey Beastmen's fort and crazily attacked the entrance. They simply didn't care about the Grey Beastmen's defenses, as if they were planning on using numbers to forcibly push open the entrance.
Sure enough, the Grey Beastmen couldn't bear it. Their walls were very powerful, but the entrance was the only weak point of the wall.
And the only place the Grey Beastmen needed to focus on was the entrance. Now that they were under the entrance, how could they not be anxious?
Soon, two box puppets on the city wall threw a large number of bombs in front of the gate. Then, two cannon puppets turned their bodies and shot two ten-meter-wide fireballs in front of the gate.
In an instant, a large area was cleared in front of the entrance, and at that time, the entrance opened.
A large number of cannon fodder puppets rushed out of the entrance, along with over three hundred Grey Beastmen and three hundred elite puppets.
The large number of cannon fodder puppets rushed out and started fighting with Lin Yun's puppet army. The elite puppets in the back, as well as the three hundred Grey Beastmen controlling the mechas, also rushed out.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth as he glanced at the sighing Xiuban.
"Xiuban, go and capture as many Grey Beastmen as you can."
After a pause, Lin Yun added, "Or you can go and capture as many Grey Beastmen as possible."
"Or you can throw those Grey Beastmen controlling the mechas to the back."
Xiuban couldn't help sighing in relief after hearing Lin Yun's words.
The bodies of those Grey Beastmen were really too weak for Xiuban. If it had been a Black Iron Beastman from before, he would have only been able to make him vomit blood and faint. But if it was a Grey Beastman, that slap would explode their heads.
Not killing them would be too difficult for Xiuban.
But he didn't need to worry about them now. He only needed to throw them to the back along with the mechas, and that would be too simple.
Xiuban raised Carnage and grinned mischievously before roaring and rushing out.
Xiuban was like a Tyrannosaurus in human form as he suddenly inserted himself into the battle between two groups of wolves. Those cannon fodder puppets didn't even have the qualifications to stop Xiuban.
Soon, Xiuban rushed into the middle of the Grey Beastmen's army and swung Carnage, simply ignoring their spells.
No matter what spell it was, it was ineffective against Carnage, and it even collapsed into the most basic elemental power after being smashed by Carnage's hammer.
A Grey Beastman controlling a mecha was smashed by Xiuban's hammer. The huge mecha was over five meters tall and weighed at least two thousand kilograms, but it was like a huge ball that was sent flying three hundred meters away. Half of the mecha fell apart in midair, and the Grey Beastman inside spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting.
After landing, a few puppets immediately rushed over and rapidly dismantled the mecha before taking away the fainted Grey Beastman.
