At this point, many people already have a basic understanding of Gray.
Even without having come into contact with the Machine Spirit, they realized that this was a guy with incredibly incredible luck.
If there's no real reason to vote for someone else, maybe voting for this guy will bring a little bit of luck?
Meanwhile, Felix on the platform did not stop speaking. He took out a folded manuscript from his jacket, unfolded it, and began to speak:
"The campaign information for the other three candidates has been public for over a month. In these final few minutes, let me briefly introduce, so far, Gray Gris's contributions that could be used to run for the Grand Foundry Master— "
"Regarding Gray Griss, there are two main contributions that have been declared and confirmed so far:"
"Firstly, Gray unexpectedly discovered a new life form whose body was constructed from sophisticated machinery, Blood Corpse, and special plants, and which required a special Psionic Energy shock to activate."
"The consciousness activated in this way is currently called the Machine Spirit. According to statistics, the strength of the Machine Spirit is positively correlated with the complexity and size of the composing machine. Furthermore, the longer the machine is used, the richer the Machine Spirit's abilities become, and the more things it can accomplish independently."
"They are generally calm and kind, the specific reasons for which are unknown, but they can greatly reduce the workload of the Graycast Corridor, and at the same time, they have the ability to think independently, so they can be considered a new kind of intelligent life."
Inside the fortress, the [ Do Some Farm Work ] worker, who was doing the final packing, raised his head from his ammo pack, looked towards the high platform, and uttered a questioning sound:
"Um?"
[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] wiped away a bead of sweat and asked:
"Has something happened over there?"
[ On the Do Some Farm Work ] frowned and said:
"Where did Gray get a second contribution? Besides the Machine Spirit, what else?"
"I told them."
Nuowa, who was watching the Soul Returner bustling about, suddenly spoke up:
Have you all forgotten how we met?
After a brief moment of confusion, the Soul Returner immediately let out a series of exclamations of realization.
Meanwhile, Felix, on the distant high platform, continued reciting:
"Secondly: We have received new intelligence from an ally that confirms Gray played a role in the campaign to defeat Hall, the progenitor of vampires."
"Although he did not directly participate in the battle, he played a crucial role in the initial location of Grand Duke Hall's sealed territory during the early stages of the battle."
The vast plaza of the Great Labyrinth City fell silent in an instant; no one could believe what they had just heard.
To annihilate a Grand Duke?
What is this guy saying?
The seven Vampire Progenitor have always been the foremost enemies of the Graycast Corridor. Compared to these guys, even the Eternal Domain, which is also a gatekeeper of the Demon Realm realm, has to take a backseat.
Since its founding, the Graycast Corridor has been busy for nearly eighty years, but it has not been able to completely eliminate any lineage of Blood Corpse; it has only been constantly weakening their strength.
But now, that guy named Gray has actually participated in a campaign against a Grand Duke.
This is unbelievable!
So everyone's attention quickly shifted, and soon someone asked:
"Master Craftsman Felix, has the progenitor of vampires, Hall, been destroyed?"
Felix shook his head and said:
"According to current intelligence, all the Blood Corpse in the Hall Lineage have died, except for the Grand Duke, who was split into three and is currently sealed by the Graycast Corridor, the Eternal Domain, and the Second Holy See."
The discussions among the citizens of the Great Labyrinth City below the platform grew even noisier, and clearly showed a tendency to turn into cheers.
Felix finally shouted:
"These two achievements are what Gray Gris used to run for the position of Grand Foundry Master."
"The introduction of Gray is finished. There's only one minute left. Hopefully, he... well, he doesn't seem to be here yet. But rules are rules, so let's wait a moment."
As soon as Felix finished speaking, a bright white light suddenly shone from one side of the square.
The light was like lightning, but without any roar; it was like sunlight, but fleeting.
When everyone's eyes recovered from the momentary blinding light, they saw that the area enclosed at the edge of the square was completely empty, with only a few dusty-looking guys standing there blankly.
Two hundred miles away, on the outskirts of the Great Labyrinth City.
A blinding white light flashed and disappeared in an instant, and all the players—living, dying, fighting, demolishing, and even those inside the washing machine—stopped what they were doing.
It's here!
It's finally here!
Our mission is complete!
The message from the Great Labyrinth City that was shared in the group chat not long ago [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] prepared everyone for what was to come.
Several hours have passed since the Antasia made contact with the two forts, one in front and one behind, at dawn, and the battlefield situation is quite different from what it was at the beginning.
At this moment, the top deck of the Antasia was filled with the dead, too badly Soul Returner to continue fighting, and there were even some bound soldiers of the Corridor Guard who were idly standing there.
And those two battle fortresses that were originally meant to attack the Antasia from both sides are even more complicated...
Even now, the fortress at the rear was still rotating at a steady pace, much like a pet in an RPG game that automatically follows you.
Both the players and the Corridor Guard have done their best in this regard.
Because of the ruptured high-temperature pipes, any flesh and blood that tries to get close to the internal core control panel will be subjected to a baptism of high-temperature steam.
Furthermore, the high-temperature gases continued to spread to the upper and lower levels as the Blood Corpse continued to supply energy, eventually turning all thirty players who had infiltrated and become trapped there into steamed pork.
As for the Corridor Guard members who were knocked unconscious by the players, they were thrown out through the freely accessible observation windows. Although they didn't die, they still suffered some hardship.
After a long while, the Soul Returner and the Corridor Guard, who had been trapped on the top floor and had announced their alliance, finally opened the enormous steamer, which was seven or eight stories high. Unfortunately, it was all too late.
The Corridor Guard members have now been temporarily housed on the Antasia. Only a few players who chose to become Dragonborn are currently recovering the players' corpses inside the high-temperature machine due to their heat resistance.
The Golden Cup, positioned ahead of the Antasia, was clearly in an even worse situation.
Two hours earlier, as the infiltrating players frantically floored the accelerator, the Golden Cup's power system finally suffered a major problem.
Players who stood up and pedaled, even damaging the vehicle, discovered that the Golden Cup was no longer responding. They then opened the one-way door and engaged in a fierce battle with the Corridor Guard above.
