The Sky Tower is a gigantic building made of advanced composite materials, the height of which exceeds the largest thing that ordinary civilization can build—a vertical height of more than thirty kilometers is completely sensational for a building, if its If the builder is not a giant but a creature similar in size to a human, then this height will be even more sensational.
Of course, the Xiling Empire has produced many behemoths. We have built planetary ecological controllers several kilometers high, warships with a length of more than ten kilometers, heavy aircraft carriers with a length of tens of hundreds of kilometers, and even planetary fortresses, and even more insane ones. Military extreme product: Psionic Death Star, these things are exaggerated in size, even reaching the point where it is a bit difficult to describe in size: the height of the last coronal mass ejection of psionic death star is thousands of kilometers. But the single building we made has never been too exaggerated: because it is not necessary, as a planetary surface building, the height of tens of kilometers is unnecessary and a waste of energy, and it is easy to suffer from heavy firepower.
I don't know why the builders of the Sky Tower built such a huge tower back then, let alone what level of civilization they have developed. To my surprise, when Sandora scanned the Sky Tower, she sensed an energy barrier inside, which was strong enough to affect some of Sandora's radars. Of course, for an Emperor Xiling, to break through this The barrier is quite simple, but Sandora is worried that forcible destruction will cause some sensitive equipment in the Sky Tower to activate, so she has not acted rashly for the time being.
"There is an entrance at the bottom of the tower, but it looks like we have to get some things done first..." Sandora pointed to the bottom of the tower in the distance, and her words were interrupted by an explosion that was close at hand. "Boom!" The scorching air wave from the explosion even distorted the air in a considerable area, but it was completely impossible to break through the energy shield around us. Sagina and Sona were protected inside the shield, seeing the distorted scorching air around them, their faces all changed color. And this was just the beginning. Just a second or two later, deafening explosions covered the space where everyone was.
"Get rid of some unfriendly guards." Sandora shrugged. Look out for more colossi rising from the ground in the distance.
After we approached the Sky Tower for a certain distance, the guard system here was activated. Sagina and Sona told everyone that there were very dangerous ancient guards here at the beginning, so we were not surprised, but those ancient guards The shape of the guards is quite admirable to the imagination of their designers: they are some colossal statues made of silver-white metal. The average height is about ten meters, and the whole body seems to be covered with metal rings, or it is made of metal rings, with parallel ring folds from head to toe. This layer of metal is both their skin and their armor. , other than that, no other armor or clothing can be seen on them. These silver-white metal colossi have no facial features or gender characteristics. There are only thick human-shaped structures, and their faces are covered with a layer of smooth trapezoidal mirrors, reflecting the flickering brilliance under the skylight. Once the intruders were locked on to us, all the Colossi immediately launched a ferocious attack—to my surprise, all of them used ranged attacks. The hands of the colossus are some kind of artillery launchers. With the help of the ring-shaped metal structure, their entire palms can be instantly shrunk and folded into the wrists, leaving a round black muzzle, from which golden-red high-temperature guns fly out at high speed. When the sphere touches the ground, it can produce a big explosion instantly, and the speed of this attack is extremely fast. Almost like a machine gun, a barrage of bullets was formed around us in an instant. As for the power of these golden-red spheres...
All right. We have a group of leader-level guys supporting the joint shield, and Ilsen, a professional MT, opened the deflection halo. I don't know how powerful they are. I only know that there must be something special about this [square] field, or those metals. The attack of the Colossus can automatically identify friend and foe, in such a massive bombardment. There was not even a crack in the dusty boulders around the ground.
Because the existence of the Sky Tower itself has exceeded our expectations, everyone has a lot of curiosity about the guard system here. After the more than one hundred metal giants rose from the ground, my elder sister and I held down Pandora and Visca who were about to jump out one by one. We wanted to see how strong the guard system here is. Sandora activated her backup radar matrix and began to measure the attack capabilities of each metal colossus, her brows furrowed deeply.
"The outer layer of these golden-red photospheres is arcane energy. The core has an unstable mass collapse point. The arcane energy layer is used to produce range damage. The mass collapse point of the core is obviously to destroy the solid armor. This ammunition structure …doesn't look like they're meant to deal with normal invaders, they're more suited to attacking something with both shields and heavy armor, like...a ground assault vehicle from an interstellar civilization."
Sandora looked up at the colossi. The mindless guardians were still steadfastly carrying out saturation bombing on the invaders, and changed their formation after finding that their firepower had not achieved the expected effect. The colossi formed a three-person team , front and back alternately cover, each group of three has a colossus with a slightly special shape: the smooth trapezoidal metal plate on their faces constantly and rapidly refreshes complex magic runes, just like a display screen, this colossus Perhaps an elite unit like a squad leader.
I was already a little dazed at this moment, and looked at Sandora in disbelief: "You said... I can understand the arcane layer. You said that there is a mass collapse point in these light spheres? Such a high-end thing?"
Why does it sound like I jumped from Nima Middle-earth to Battlestar in an instant!
"Their attack power is almost equivalent to that of elite imperial soldiers. If there are other means of attack, they may even be on par with grassroots commanders—not counting the case of imperial soldiers calling for hyperspace firepower." Sandora said calmly. said.
Just when I was taken aback and was about to confirm if Sandora had made a mistake, a frenzied call finally came from beside me: "Hey! Let me tell you! Now is not the time to discuss things calmly! You are being attacked! , was bombed by hundreds of ancient colossi! This is enough bombing for the entire knight order to evaporate in an instant! Hurry up and find a way to do something!"
I turned my head and saw Sagina's frantic grinning face. Next to her, Sona was nervously watching the big explosion outside the shield. The shock wave produced by the golden-red arcane energy ball would not produce too much smoke and dust, so she could see more colossi that were approaching more clearly through the distorted air, although Sona still maintained a silent attitude. Calm, but her tail was slapping the ground three times a second, Sagina was worse. She has curled her tail up and hugged her arms: this is a subconscious habit of her when she is seriously insecure.
"Woo - at least get rid of the colossus soldiers here first?" Sagina said with a bitter face, the scales all over her body turned blue.
Sandora shrugged and signaled that I could let Pandora go out. I let go of the little head I was holding on to, and told the girl worriedly before she rushed out: "Try to leave one or two whole corpses. We still want to Study and study."
Pandora paused, and nodded aggrievedly: According to her idea, she must want to cut those giant statues into sections, and the height of each section should not exceed 1.2 meters, but now it seems that this idea can only be let go.
When Pandora and Viska rushed out, the half-dragon girl duo exclaimed. They might subconsciously think that it was too dangerous for those two short (!) little guys to rush out, but soon They remembered that there were examples like Madison and Lin at the scene, so they calmed down instantly—until they saw two short winter melons facing the colossus soldiers rushing up in groups. They took out two giant cannons whose diameters were almost equal to their height. I suddenly felt that it was a huge mistake to let these two little lunatics go out: did they really have the concept of leaving the whole body? Especially facing a group of huge humanoid objects that are more than eight times their height. But it was too late to say anything now: the roar of cannons rang out from outside the shield.
The loud noise of the explosion has swept through the audience, and there are distorted halos and harsh metal tearing sounds everywhere. It is said that the combat power of the metal colossus can be equal to that of the elite soldiers of the empire or low-level commanders, which is already quite staggering Power, but they are unlucky. What I encountered was a group of people who could already be classified as out-of-spec. The mass-collapsing bombs they released could not break through the messy and indescribable joint shield around us (you can see that this shield has a lot of components. It's complicated, all the leaders of the four major departments of the Protoss and Xiling are charging the shield inside), the layer of arcane energy outside the natural bomb has no effect, and the cannons of Pandora and Visca are designed to destroy heavy targets The prepared ones are called anti-ship guns. Small battleships can be pierced from head to tail by that gun. Colossi exploded one by one under the bombardment of this kind of giant cannon like flies being swatted. I noticed a detail: when they were attacked, their bodies would instantly explode. A layer of crystal-clear crystal-like shield appeared. Although this layer of shield can't stop the shelling at all, its existence itself enhances the strategic value of this colossus in my mind. Perhaps while possessing the attack power of elite soldiers of the empire, their defense power is not weak at all
Even though these guardians were miscellaneous soldiers in front of Pandora and the others, seeing a group of ancient colossi that could rival the imperial soldiers in this kind of place still made people very concerned.
But less than a minute of effort. The world is quiet, and the speed of those huge colossi is actually not slow. They are even as flexible as humans, but no matter how fast they are, they are no faster than the Pandora sisters' enemy-finding radar. After the two naval guns and a group of floating cannons that joined the battle later were concentrated and wiped out, all the guards on the [Square] field held together. Forty-six seconds.
Sagina stared blankly at the potholed square after the smoke had cleared (the potholes were made by Pandora and the others. Although the sisters had carefully limited the firepower, the blast wave that escaped shattered it. The giant stone slabs nearby, and the attacks of those giant statues did not harm the square itself at all, which is really amazing), after a long time, I finally recovered: "Ah—"
I guess she has never seen so many explosions appearing beside her at the same time in her life, and the lack of weakness in her legs is already a sign of the girl's strong will. The little crow was also frightened with Sagina. Although the power of the bird was definitely no less than this after it jumped up, but she had not been a long time since the full moon, and she had never seen a big scene. The silly bird looked around. , opened his arms and flapped twice, making a "crack". Then, gurgling in his mouth, he got into his sister's arms.
"Brother, you want the whole body." Pandora ran over patter, raising her little hand. Pointing not far away said.
I looked up, and found that Pandora and Viska actually remembered to leave a research sample: a colossus soldier was not smashed by them, but was knocked to the ground, and Viska was carrying a huge Cannon, using the mount as a hammer. Beating the hapless Colossus soldier on his back everywhere. The colossus soldier obviously hasn't stopped running, it is moving its deformed limbs trying to stand up again, and Viska uses super fast space jumps to dodge around, as long as part of the colossus' body is lifted to 1.2 meters Above the height, the girl immediately fell down with a cannonball. The cat's eye lili wielding a huge cannon barrel flashed back and forth in mid-air and jingled, smashing with joy, the air echoed with bursts of metal knocking and Viska's joyful cheers—this bear Children really know how to play.
And that colossus soldier was also very tenacious, his hands and feet were smashed, but he was still persistently trying to stand up—not as smart as Uncle B, at least Uncle B’s first reaction after seeing the Pandora sisters was to squat down. Huo even wants to stand up!
"Okay, okay. Stop the meeting." I asked Lilina to use vines to firmly fix the giant statue on the ground, and reached out to hold down Viska's little head. Jumping up: "Brother, brother, I will hit it twice, I will hit it twice!"
"If you hit it again, it will be completely flat." I gave her a head-scratching blow. The little girl finally calmed down. Sandora squatted down and knocked on the metal statue that was bound but still struggling angrily, and there was a hollow metal echo from where she knocked.
"It's empty inside." One of Sandora's fingers turned into a blue thorn needle, stabbed fiercely at the chest of the metal giant, and then slashed vertically, cutting off the circles of metal rings on the giant's body shape structure. Forming a foot-long rift "very solid outer shell, comparable in strength to the armor plate of a starship. And it has a charging structure. Inside... that's it."
She tore open the solid metal shell with her bare hands. Amid the ear-piercing sound of alloy tearing, the chest of the colossus was completely cut open, revealing the cavity inside. There was no mechanical structure in sight, let alone flesh and blood internal organs and other things. similar organs. The colossus [body] is empty, only a halo of constantly changing colors flows in the cavity like water. This halo has a texture that can almost be touched, and it contains an extremely powerful energy response—I feel a bit close to the energy response on the raven. Of course, it's just that the "mystery" of this energy gives people a feeling similar to It feels like there is no psionic reaction on the colossi, they seem to be arcane-driven.
Even though the body was cut open, the colossus did not weaken its vitality at all. It was still vibrating violently, and the torn hole on its chest was slowly closing: this thing actually has a strong self-healing ability.
"Fortunately, it was us who met. If the Colossus fought with the same number of imperial soldiers, it would have been a tough battle just now." Sandora couldn't help but said after seeing that the Colossus still had such a high self-healing ability.
Of course, this repair ability couldn't keep up with Sandora's dissection speed, and soon, the Colossus' weapons were also displayed in front of our eyes. Sandora cut off one of its arms, and cut across the structure that can shrink into the wrist and form the muzzle. What appeared in front of us was a complex rune and energy array, as well as a circle of crystal structures, but although there were many knowledgeable people on the scene, the technical content of this thing in front of us was really not low (with such a high combat effectiveness, it also It is not difficult to imagine), and no one can see how it is driven.
There is no one on the mysterious side of the empire—and Bingtis, a technical geek, doesn't seem to be good at the field in front of him.
Hey wait, it seems that the mysterious side is not completely empty, I seem to have one with me all the time!
"Alaya, look at the principle... Hey, why is this guy asleep again!" I called out to a sleepy angel in my spiritual world, but what responded to me was an even and soft purring sound, concentrated I checked my mental power, but found that a certain dull cat was hugging Xiao Qijing, who was sleeping, so I had to increase the strength of my mental call, "Alaya, sleepy, lazy cat, get up quickly! Haven't had enough sleep after sleeping on and off for nearly twenty hours?!"
After calling for a long time, I finally heard Alaya's lazy and soft moaning voice in my mind. It was not easy to wake up the angel sister from her doze, but I finally woke up. I asked everyone to get out of the way. Next second The holy light that wandered around condensed on the open space among the crowd, and the holy light quickly condensed into a snow-white and holy figure. Alaya, who was wearing a long white dress, landed lightly on the ground with his bare feet, Stretching: In the process, he flapped his wings and flew towards Ding Dong who didn't know what he wanted to do, then opened his eyes, and looked at the surrounding people with golden pupils in confusion.
"Wow! What is this!" Sagina finally exclaimed.
I thought about it, and explained: "You still remember Xiao Qijing? This is Xiao Qijing's mother—you can understand it like this, otherwise it would be too complicated to explain."
Sona gave me a strange look, and said in a low voice, "Do you have the habit of putting your wife and children in your [body]?"
Me: "... let's talk about something light."
Alaya blinked inexplicably, his golden pupils finally fell on the giant metal statue that was tossing and swaying beside him, and then frowned.
As if recalling something, she whispered a word uncertainly: "Gonda Colossus?"
