The roar of the mechanical spider came from behind, the bullets of the heavy-duty rotary machine gun tore through the air, and a sharp howling passed by. The alarm that resounded throughout the city still did not stop. More and more Twilight Guards are pouring out of their garrison, trying to intercept the dangerous elements that are rushing towards the large elevator.
However, the person they wanted to intercept had already crossed the biggest blockade line, and the air column around the big elevator became more and more clear before their eyes.
Hao Ren rode on the bridge of Lily's nose in high spirits. He looked back and found that the steam robots of the sixth steam department hadn't caught up. Those huge mechanical spiders seemed to be only good at attacking and defending, not good at chasing, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed her. Rubbing a bunch of hair on Lily's forehead: "Nice job."
Lily's eyes were cross-eyed, and she nodded happily: "Woooo—"
Hao Ren was almost thrown out on the spot.
"This is what I... planned..." Wendell was still surrounded by a large group of bats, and flew forward in the air in a daze, shouting intermittently while flying, "It's not the same!"
"This is called Plan B!" Vivienne opened a pair of bat wings and flew in the air, and said loudly as she flew, "Your Old Sage is hidden deep in the city, surrounded by complex guards, and the power of the Lightseeker is in the entire system." The place is completely fucked, so you still expect to send us to the Iron Throne in a safe and sound way?"
Elizabeth was carrying a huge mechanical leg that was two meters longer than her, and ran after Lily: "I like PlanB!"
Facing this group of super-creatures who played their cards against common sense and were so powerful that they were unimaginably powerful, Wendell finally said nothing, and... began to calm down a little, thinking about whether it was right for him to bring these people into the Twilight City error.
Maybe it was the long journey in the dark that weakened my spirit, or maybe the joy brought by the sudden discovery of the "fire" dilutes the vigilance that the light seeker should have, or maybe it is really the dullness caused by aging, Wendell Only then did he realize that he knew nothing about the group of people in front of him: he just knew the names of this group of people, knew that they came from outside the Twilight City, and knew that they were "the afterglow of the long night", but he had no idea about this group of people. The true purpose and character of the crowd are ignorant.
But now, this group of powerful and mysterious strangers has arrived in the Twilight Capital, and they quickly showed incredible power. The Sixth Division of Steam, which was once used to resist monsters from outside the domain, is actually no match for these people. They are now marching towards the Iron Throne of the Old Ones... is that really all right
After calming down from the initial excitement and joy, Wendell only felt a burst of cold sweat slowly emerge from his forehead.
Just when these thoughts emerged more and more irresistibly, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Bring them here."
Wendell woke up instantly, and he looked around in panic: "Who?!"
"Bring them here," the voice did not explain anything, but repeated it again, with a calm tone but with a majesty and inevitability that no one could refuse, "They are the ones I am waiting for."
Wendell's brain went blank for a full half a minute, until another piercing siren came from afar and he woke up in horror. The old man almost exclaimed, but he quickly shut his mouth and tried to respond in his mind: "Old Sage?!"
After a while, the expression on the old man's face finally calmed down, and with some kind of joy, he looked up to the front, just in time to see a black steel tower gradually enlarged in front of his eyes, so he reminded loudly: "We are here! The big elevator is ahead !"
At the very top of the Twilight City, several of the most magnificent buildings are gradually leaning towards each other. The platforms and steel beams extending from the buildings overlap and connect with each other, forming a magnificent steel square. The heavy and huge The gears and bearings rotate on the mechanical platform at the edge of the square, and the large pipes surrounding the square are constantly leaking steam that is not completely condensed. Several black steel towers are the most eye-catching buildings on the square. These steel towers are inlaid with With the shining runes, the red light from the laser light continuously sweeps across the entire platform from the top of the tower.
That's where the big lifts come in.
The guards of the Twilight City who were urgently summoned are already waiting on this platform.
Hundreds of steam council guards wearing steel armor stood shoulder to shoulder to form a human wall. Their armor was extremely thick, and each of them was more than two meters high. On the heavy black armor, you can see the valves that are full of the characteristics of this city. With the pipes, the dark red pressure gauge on the chest surged with divine steam power, and they held heavy muskets, serving as the first line of defense on the platform.
Behind the parliamentary guards, there were several semi-fixed heavy artillery that were hastily erected, as well as some mobile artillery crouching on the ground. The mechanical legs of the mobile artillery are tightly fastened to the reserved connection port on the platform of the large elevator. Between the two barrels of each artillery, there is a creepy-looking mechanical eyeball that is almost fake. Go around.
Behind this second line of defense is the ultimate third line of defense: more than a dozen spellcasters floating in midair.
Hao Ren was surprised to see a dozen magicians here—maybe they should be called wizards. Those people wearing black short robes were floating in the air more than two meters above the ground. Their beards and hair danced without wind, and their faces were serious and stern. Years of exposure to taboo power made their bodies extremely thin, as if they were about to turn into mummified corpses It's daunting to look forward to. Every caster is surrounded by several arcane balls. Although they are not at the same level as the magic balls around Anthony, this is enough to prove that they are real battle mages.
There are even mage troops in the Twilight City—Hao Ren couldn't help being surprised by the changeable and weird painting style of this doomed city.
"That's a group of wizards," Wendell's voice suddenly came from the side, "They are scholars with ancient forbidden blood, experts in using runes, be careful about their power: the absolute power of these wizards may be stronger than steam six Ke's behemoths are weak, but their abilities are so unpredictable that it's dangerous to underestimate them."
Hao Ren snorted, turned his head to look at Wendell, and was immediately surprised: he found that the old man had a mysterious smile on his face for some reason, and he looked proud but trying to maintain a reserved look.
"What good things did you think of?" Nangong Sanba at the side also noticed this, and asked casually.
"Today is a day full of glory," Wendell's answer was wrong, "The Old One is guiding our destiny."
Everyone felt baffled, but at this time the Twilight Guards in front of the elevator were already on the verge of a formidable enemy.
Most of them were summoned in a hurry when they were at a loss. Ordinary soldiers had no idea what was going on in the city, and they couldn't even imagine what kind of enemy they were going to face. They heard that the Sixth Steam Division had set off to form the first line of defense, so many people thought that things would be safe: the iron wall of the Sixth Steam Division was always solid in the minds of ordinary soldiers, and they never thought that the enemy would It appeared in front of my eyes so quickly!
Steam Six Division even failed to delay the group of people for more than ten minutes—this made the Twilight Guards who had gathered in a hurry feel appalled.
What made them even more astonished was that the group of enemies in front of them had terrifying appearances as if they came from the age of mythology: giant white wolves (dogs) that were so huge that they seemed to be able to devour everything, vicious giants that were taller than some soldiers wearing steam armor , a woman flying in the air with demonic bat wings, and a half-human, half-snake weird creature!
The wizards floating in mid-air obviously thought more than the ordinary soldiers on the ground. They studied the fragmented ancient history for many years, so at this time, each of them matched the knowledge in their minds with the scene in front of them. The old wizard with the runes pointed at the giant silver wolf (dog) with slight horror: "The name of the ancestor! That is probably the descendant of Fenrir!"
"That snake-like woman is probably a descendant of Jormungandr!"
"That vicious man must have come from the land of giants—though he is shorter than giants, he is as ugly as giants!"
After brainstorming on their own, all the wizards had the same thought in their hearts: These people in front of them seem to be descendants of those ancient evil things in myths and legends. Could it be the end of Twilight? Is it finally here? Did these vicious enemies come to complete the unfinished Ragnarok two thousand years ago
The tension and fear of the wizards seemed to infect the guards on the ground. Some soldier shook his hand, and the heavy musket roared and spewed out a long tongue of flame, and this burst of gunfire directly detonated all the firepower on the defense line.
Guns roared, and barrages struck. (to be continued~^~)
