What followed was the biggest battle in the entire game. Strangely enough, it wasn't a battle between technology and magic, but a battle between a giant robot enthusiast and a modern weaponry enthusiast.
The Engineer and the Blacksmith were both technology-oriented people, and they spent most of their time working together. The main difference between them, other than the fact that the Blacksmith was not a member of the Gentlemen Group, was their different understanding of the technology tree. This game was the perfect opportunity for them to prove whether giant weaponry or conventional weaponry was more powerful.
As for the final conclusion, even though the Engineer Walker had passionately led the giant robot into battle and had even prepared all kinds of delusional lines, this world was still more realistic. Even though the Engineer Walker had won the support of the Archmage with a newer and faster mobile phone and a cooler computer, using the power of magic to move the giant robot that defied all laws of physics, that was the limit of this fantasy creation. In the end, before the overwhelming firepower of the Blacksmith Walker's tanks, airplanes, and cannons, the robot was reduced to a pile of scrap metal. It did not even manage to put up any effective resistance. Baiyi, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, could not help but feel a little sad.
After all, the giant robot was just a product of romance.
"That's enough. That's enough …" The Engineer Walker stood alone in the pile of scrap metal, sighing softly. He looked relieved. He had already guessed the ending. The giant robot's counterattack had only fulfilled a childish dream of his.
"Ah, what an ingenious design!" The Blacksmith suddenly appeared beside the Engineer. He did not seem to be overjoyed by the victory, nor did he choose to kill the Engineer. Instead, he went to the wreckage to inspect the giant robot's design. "A transmission mechanism like this? It's still in the testing phase, and you're already using it? But the actual combat effect isn't that great … "
The Engineer quickly recovered from his defeat and started to discuss with the Blacksmith. "It's not that the effect isn't great, it's just that the robot's body is too heavy. The joints are beyond the limits of current technology. Even with the help of magic and alchemy, it's still not enough unless there's a groundbreaking breakthrough in the field of materials science. But obviously, this isn't something that can be simulated in a game. As expected, giant robots can't be mechanized, so we can only go towards logistics. Looks like I'll have to focus on biology from now on … "
"You still won't give up?" The Blacksmith asked, a little surprised.
"Why would I give up? Even if it's just a product of romance, it's still a hobby, right? I'm a man who plays with real robots! I'm way better than those rubber guys! " The Engineer Walker said proudly. Then, he took out a storage bag containing the robot blueprint and tossed it to the Blacksmith Walker. "Study it yourself. If there's anything you don't understand, we can discuss it."
With that, he elegantly turned around and slowly disappeared into the distance, accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun.
After this game-like war ended, many things happened one after another, such as the encirclement and annihilation of the Demigod Lich. In this war, the Stardew Valley Faction allied with the Mage Faction that the Magician Faction belonged to to to fight against the Lich and the Devil Faction. Although the Technology Faction gave the Mage Faction some support, they did not personally participate in the battle. Therefore, this war was still a civil war between the Mage Faction.
So, the war was still a war between the Wizards and the Wizards.
The reason for the war was the Lich's sudden idea to hunt down Noirciel and see what kind of undead creatures an angel could summon. The idea was crazy and bold, and it was as if he was taking advantage of the fact that this was a game. So, he led his army of undead and launched a surprise attack on the scenic Stardew Valley.
This battle was much more intense than the one on the technological side. The Sage-Emperor of the Magi and the Demigod Lich once again clashed, but the outcome this time was different from the last. The Archmage had lost miserably, and it was basically a one-sided battle. Even his soul was captured by the Lich.
Why did he lose so badly? Apart from the fact that he still could not activate the Book of Servitude, perhaps it had something to do with his life as a nerd?
In the early stages of the battle, the sorcerers were forced to retreat. The Lich Walker, who had been training his strength ever since he entered the game, displayed an overwhelming advantage over the sorcerers. Together with the devil and the evil cultists, the sorcerers, who only knew how to farm, were forced to retreat. The outer perimeter of Stardew Valley fell into the hands of the Lich Walker, leaving behind only a lone city. If it were not for the Blacksmith and Engineer's timely assistance, all of Baiyi's treasures would have become the Lich Walker's.
But in the end, the war ended strangely. After the liches gained the absolute advantage, they suddenly seemed to realize something and gave up on the easy victory. Instead of continuing to besiege the main city of Stardew Valley, they turned around and stabbed the demons in the back. The two villains had an internal conflict right under their enemies' noses, and in the end, the mages reaped all the benefits.
"Kill me. My game is over, just like you did to me a thousand years ago," the Lich said to the Fairy Walker in a carefree manner. The Lich said to the elf in a carefree manner. The undead army had been completely annihilated, and the Lich was the only commander left. It couldn't help but chuckle strangely as if it had happened yesterday.
"Why did you …" The Fairy Walker did not rush to attack.
"Because this is just a game, right? Even if it's in the game, I've already fulfilled my wish to lead the Undead Army into battle one last time. " The Lich turned its back to the Fairy Walker and said, "Even if we stand on different sides, we are still fellow inmates who have spent time in the same place. Now, it's time to say goodbye. It's a shame that I didn't manage to capture that angel and complete my experiment …"
The Fairy Walker did not quite understand what the Lich was trying to say, but Baiyi did. After this game was over, the Lich would leave the Voidwalkers' ranks. It would not go to the new world like the others.
"Are you sure you want to make this choice?" Baiyi asked, pulling the Lich's consciousness out of the game. "We may not see eye to eye with each other, but it's not like you can't find a place for yourself in the new world."
"Isn't that what I said before? You want me to return to the Realm of Undead? With your current strength, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? That's where I belong, "the Lich replied calmly. The Lich replied calmly, "Perhaps this world will be destroyed in the end, but the Lich is an existence that pursues death. The death of the world will also interest me. If that day really comes, I want to witness it with my own eyes and experience it personally."
Baiyi did not say anything to the Lich Walker, who had suddenly come to his senses. He would respect the Lich Walker's decision. The proud Demigod Lich Walker had been living in Baiyi's shadow for far too long. Now that the Lich Walker had offered him a choice that would preserve the last shred of friendship between them, there was no reason for him to refuse.
At this point in the game, Baiyi suddenly lost interest in continuing. After all, he had already collected everything he needed to collect, so there was no point in continuing. After notifying all the players, Baiyi shut the game down. The world was now stuck in an era where technology and magic were intertwined. 'Not bad, huh?'
The player who took first place in the leaderboard was, of course, the Lich, who had almost wiped out all the sorcerers. However, the Lich died at the very end and quit the game, which at least guaranteed the player's gaming experience.
Although more than ten years had passed in the game world, only three days had passed in the real world. Be it the Voidwalkers or the students who had participated in the game, none of them felt satisfied.
Only Mia and the other girls breathed a sigh of relief. Although the game had created a beautiful life, and the battles were thrilling and exciting, there was just too much homework, and the teachers were too strict! They really did not want to go back to their horrible school days.
"Mr. Hope, no matter what happens in the future, please don't make me study anymore, okay?" As soon as Mia left the game, she jumped into Baiyi's arms, trying to act cute. Tears streamed down her cheeks, making her look pitiful.
"Emmmm … I'll look into the education system later. Maybe there's still room for improvement …" Baiyi murmured as he caressed Mia's soft body.
"Speaking of which, what views and thoughts do you have on this new world? Everyone, organize them and submit a detailed report to me later. As for the students … I won't inform them about the reconstruction of the new world for the time being. Let's wait for the results of my further deductions and determine an ideal new world model before we talk about it." Baiyi gently picked up Mia and said to the other Voidwalkers, "It's not easy to build a new world. Let's all get serious!"
"I know what you're thinking, but I actually have a suggestion," the Archmage suddenly said seriously. For some reason, the Archmage Walker returned to his usual serious self. "What kind of world are you trying to build?" he asked in a serious tone. Utopia? The Garden of Eden? But I don't think it's meaningful. You want my ideas and suggestions for a new world? Then I can tell you right now that I don't need a beautiful world. I don't need a world without disease, death, or pain. I just need a world that is truly controlled by humans. "
