In the sky, a huge shadow tore through the white clouds and descended with a grim, majestic, and powerful posture.
It was a steel fortress.
It was almost exactly the same size as the hill, and was made up of countless pipes, gears, and various industrial parts. Some pipes were emitting black smoke - that was the sound of the boiler burning; other pipes were gushing white mist - that was the steam gushing out from the inside. The entire outline looked so bold and rough... not to mention the rows of densely packed gun barrels!
Am I fucking dreaming?
Halfway up the mountain, a group of people looked up and saw this amazing sight. Ge Lan was stuck in the crowd, his mouth wide open and his eyes bulging, looking completely frightened.
Only the most rational people could guess the clues... such as Xia Yibing. The woman quickly looked at Hitzfeld and asked, "... Mechanical Kingdom?"
"It can only be them." The girl nodded, her face solemn.
how to say.
Indeed, she had imagined this scenario as early as when she heard Gran guess that Leon and his group were "spies of the Mechanical Kingdom", and this association was further deepened when she found the monster looking up at the sky.
But when the fantasy scene came true, really in reality rather than in retrospect, and she saw a "floating city" appear and sway above her head, she couldn't help but be startled, and a new worry arose in her heart.
The Mechanical Kingdom is the enemy of the Corrupted Blood Kingdom, so they will definitely try their best to stop what Alessia is going to do.
But this also proves that both sides have mastered the technology of floating cities...
Although it is not as big as the one on the abyss, it is only the size of a floating island, but it is also a real floating city.
It is not a good idea to rashly get involved in such a dispute.
And how could it be such a coincidence...
Amidst her fragmented thoughts, she suddenly remembered that someone had not shown up yet.
Could it be——
"Hello--!!!"
Just then, they heard a call from the sky.
Looking closely, it was Leon Cornerell standing behind a cannon barrel, waving towards this side with great excitement.
Chapter 77: The Battle of the Kingdom of God III
"Leon!!"
Baliu gnashed her teeth and called out the man's name. From her tone, she almost wanted to fly up and bite him to death. "He sold us out???"
"No," Hitzfeld whispered, "this is the wisest choice."
She didn't care what Leon had experienced in private. It was obvious that he had reached a consensus with the people of the Mechanical Kingdom and persuaded them to join this "marriage robbery plan."
Of course, she thought that the Mechanical Kingdom might not care about Aman's life, and they might not come for the purpose of robbing the bride. But those people must be very interested in stopping the plan of the Corrupted Blood Kingdom.
From the perspective of civilization, the people and soldiers of a country that can develop a mechanical civilization must be more friendly than Alesia's country, which may be a country composed of monsters.
If that was Agent Leon Cornerell's judgment, she chose to respect it.
We’ll talk about any hidden dangers later.
The floating city of the Mechanical Kingdom appeared in the sky, bringing about a series of chain reactions.
The huge shadow covered the sky, and all the living people knelt down facing the sky, closed their eyes and chanted. The water monster Alessia obviously realized who was the most important enemy, and it did not waste any attention on the "crawler". Its winding body quickly crawled across the entire mountain and the palace surface, waving and dancing, and occasionally brushed against the crew, but ignored them.
“Finally—” The water once again formed a huge face, and it roared towards the sky: “You guys are here after all!!!”
"We have no intention of making an enemy of you, Alessia."
A sound came from the sky, which was obviously amplified by a loudspeaker and sounded with a strong metallic texture.
"The battlefield between the Corrupted Blood Kingdom and the Mechanical Kingdom is on the Aisha Continent. We have an agreement not to bring the dispute elsewhere. So we don't want to care what you do here. It doesn't matter what you want to do."
"What on earth do they mean?" Torres pointed and cursed, "Why are you here without caring about anything? Are you here to watch the fun?"
The water monster had the same doubts: "Oh? How strange... I haven't heard such polite words for a long time..."
"Of course, there are conditions." The voice continued to echo, "We need to take some people away from Ivanria, and we guarantee that none of them are the Sea God's followers you are looking for."
"What if I want to keep Aman here?"
"can."
“Should I pick each one carefully?”
"it's up to you."
Madeline's heart almost stopped and she felt like she couldn't breathe.
She went secretly to see Hitzfeld.
Captain...listen to these bastards...listen to what they are saying!
"What do you think, Alessia?"
A question came from the mechanical fortress: "We will leave immediately after picking up the person... We will try our best not to have any contact with you, and you don't need to worry that we will take the opportunity to drop bombs or something... What do you think?"
"It's tempting," said the monster, "but I refuse."
"you--"
"You don't think I'm easy to fool, do you?" The water monster laughed sharply, "Hahaha... This is the first time I see a mechanical apostle give in like this. Let me guess, you have been looking for the so-called 'princess', is she here?"
"Even—on me?"
"Alessia!!!"
Rumbling--
The mountain shook violently, with an amplitude unprecedented.
Hitzfeld and his group had not yet gone down the mountain. To them, this was not just an earthquake at all. It was more like the palace and the mountain had their own will - it seemed as if it had come alive at this moment and was trying to break free from the earth's gravity!
Under the gazes of Torres and others, under the observations of Ethan, Darent and his party, and under the worship of a group of refugees and animals, a huge white steam rose from the bottom of the mountain, and more and more rocks fell off and peeled off... revealing its true appearance.
"The second one..." Ethan felt that he could no longer use the telescope. He took a deep breath and said, "How is it possible..."
“Alessia——!!!”
The voice from the loudspeaker was mixed with shock and anger: "This is the legacy of the Kingdom of God... How dare you???"
"Why not!" The water monster poked its head out from the white smoke. "You may think that it is a waste of this thing in my hands, because it is closer to your technology and it is difficult to drive it with flesh and blood energy."
"But have you ever wondered what I am?"
"I am water too!"
"It's just a part of the body that explodes! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Chi Chi Chi -!
Along with the roar, the exposed pipes at the bottom of the palace began to spew white smoke.
The stuck, rusted gears began to turn... The water monster's body turned into water and filled almost every corner. Some of the water condensed into human hands to turn the valve mechanism, and some of the water flowed into the control room to pull the lever. It was actually to control this ancient relic with one person's power.
"Wooooooooo!!!" Everyone saw black smoke spewing out of the upward pipes.
It was like a long whistle, but it sounded creepy. It was as if countless wronged souls were rolling and surging in the black smoke... The wails of thousands of dead people merged into the sound of the whistle, awakening at this moment, crying out to the world about their past fate.
"boom!!!"
The Mechanical Fortress opened fire.
Densely packed gun barrels fired in batches. Each round of bombardment involved at least a hundred shells, which hit the ground and the mountain with incredible precision, trying to destroy its internal structure.
They are careful...
There was a constant dripping of dirt and rocks. Xia Yibing, like everyone else, clung to the wall to avoid it while she was filled with fear and speculation in her heart.
This bombardment could have hit a higher place, but it didn't...
Why……
The princess they were talking about, could it be——
Looking down at the girl tightly held in his arms, Xia Yibing licked her lips with her tongue and thought of Lengdis, the "Doctor of Machinery".
"What are you worried about?"
The water monster, Alessia's transformed human face, laughed at the sky. "You don't dare to hit upwards? Is it because of those people? Is the 'Princess' in there?"
"not me!!!"
Grant screamed and she noticed that almost everyone was looking at her.
It makes sense... She's the only one here who's a native Golian, and if there's anyone with a mysterious background, it can only be her.
On the mechanical fortress, a long-haired woman standing next to Leon glared at him.
"…It has nothing to do with me." Li Ang spread his hands.
"It guessed this on its own... I told you not to negotiate with it."
That night, he used an ice bomb to kill a "Private" soldier from the Mechanical Kingdom. He thought he could escape, but he was intercepted by the woman halfway and suffered a great loss at her hands.
The ice bomb was indeed effective when it hit her, and was much more effective than ordinary bullets, but the opponent's defense was amazing, and she did not lose her ability to move. After being hit hard, she used her superhuman mobility to dodge all of his shots, and then got close to him and attacked him ruthlessly.
Goddess, Li Ang almost vomited his intestines.
After subduing him, the woman took out handcuffs and locked him up, then took him out of the city at night and found the mechanical fortress behind a fjord.
This thing is actually hiding in the sea just like the Pierre!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Leon wouldn't have believed that such a thing existed in the world. At first, he thought it was a diving ship similar to the Pierre - at most, it was an offshore base, but after being taken inside to visit some of the internal facilities, he fell silent.
He was also a well-read man, and his good family background and family education gave him a wider range of knowledge than other colleagues. Therefore, he knew some mechanical dynamics and engineering, and he could see that the internal complexity of this thing was not just to stay still.
At that time, he had not thought about the floating city, but only speculated that the Mechanical Kingdom was going to take some action against Ivenria.
Then he was taken to a room, and the woman threw him on a chair and said, "I am Daryl, human, your name."
"Leon." Leon answered honestly, "Leon Cornerell."
"What about gender?"
"Since they took the trouble to pad your breasts so high, you shouldn't be able to see it..."
Daryl didn't say anything, and gave him another vicious blow to his stomach.
"I said..." Li Ang moaned and gave in: "I'm a man..."
"It would have been better if you did this earlier." Daryl left with these harsh words. After a while, she came back with a man who was at least two heads taller than her.
"I'm Luo Xin." The man seemed easy to talk to. He introduced himself first. "Like Daryl, I'm also a mechanical apostle."
"As for you, Agent Cornerel - yes, Agent, we know who you are, and we have your information in our database. I would like to ask you a serious question here: did Aisuen Hitzfeld come to Goli with you?"
"What do you want to do?" Li Ang became alert instantly.
He felt that he was doomed, because he felt that he was not the kind of person who would sell out his friends to survive. If these people wanted to get information by torturing him, he would rather die than give in.
"Don't be nervous, agent." Luo Xin shook his head, "We are not enemies, we can even be allies."
Li Ang didn't believe it.
Of course he didn't believe it! No one would believe it if they encountered such a situation!
The sudden appearance of a robot, a powerful woman who was suspected to have been modified by machines, a modified human who was suspected to be stronger than this woman, a mechanical fortress that dived into the seabed...all of this was impacting his understanding of common sense.
In this case, the other party politely told him that they might be one of their own.
How can he believe it?
He's not that naive!
"We are the legacy that the Doctor left to her." Daryl couldn't help but say, "We are mechanics, the kind that have been completely transformed. Strictly speaking, the entire Mechanical Kingdom is an extension of the Doctor's legacy. It was originally integrated with the Corrupted Blood Kingdom, but because of the Doctor's death, we no longer obey the Undead Fleet!"
"Undead Fleet?" Leon was stunned.
"The Undead Fleet is the most dangerous thing on this sea." Luo Xin nodded. "They are constantly shuttling between the two worlds. They may be here one moment and in the next they are with the evil god... They are the original rebels, the origin of the Eclipse. They chose the Outer Gods because they hated the Goddess of the Mechanical Sun for abandoning humans. They believed that they could obtain salvation and truth by converting to the Outer Gods."
"How can I trust you?" Li Ang felt that his entire worldview was being turned upside down.
no……
Before coming out, he thought the world outside would be very exciting.
But this is also...
A bit too exciting...
