Technically speaking, mass-producing Legendary Mecha was no longer difficult for Nie Yun.
If he hadn't feared that word getting out would be so terrifying that the Wulf Empire would treat him as a super-boss and mobilize its entire civilization to wipe him out, Nie Yun could have taught Kloros a lesson with a Legendary Fleet in minutes.
That was no exaggeration.
After all, manufacturing Legendary Mecha Cores required an advanced version of Mechanical Insect material.
In the Wulf Empire's eyes, this was the "lost technology" of an advanced civilization. They had spent thousands of years researching it without achieving mass production, so the number of Legendary Mecha had always remained around a thousand. At most, a few hundred were still on record today.
And now you were telling them a whole bunch had suddenly popped up in some remote backwater?
Unless the other side had inherited an advanced civilization's legacy and mastered the relevant manufacturing technology, what other explanation could there be?
If someone with such extraordinary technology was given time to develop and build eighty or a hundred "Legendary Mecha production lines," wouldn't they become a dire threat?
Thousands of years ago, the Star Cross Knights had brought the Empire to glory with a mere thousand Legendary Mecha.
The Empire was far stronger now, of course, but even accounting for inflation, a hundred thousand Legendary Mecha would still give it plenty of trouble.
So whether to nip a threat in the bud or seize the precious technology in Nie Yun's hands, the Wulf Empire would immediately put him on its "must-kill list"!
At that point, unless it sent twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, or sixty thousand capital ships right into his face, along with another seven, eight, or nine super-fortresses, it could hardly call itself an empire!
