The Sky Tower is a giant building made of advanced composite materials. Its height exceeds the largest thing that ordinary civilization can build - a vertical height of more than thirty kilometers. For a building, it is completely sensational. If it
If the builders were not giants but creatures similar in size to humans, then this height would be even more shocking.
Of course, the Xiling Empire has built many behemoths. We built planetary ecological controllers several kilometers high, battleships more than ten kilometers long, heavy aircraft carriers dozens or hundreds of kilometers long, even planetary fortresses, and even more crazy ones.
Extreme products of the military: the Nether Death Star. Each of these things is exaggerated in size, even to the point where it is difficult to describe it in terms of size: the height of the last coronal mass ejection from the Nether Death Star was thousands of kilometers. But we
The single buildings produced are never too exaggerated: because there is no need. As a planetary surface building, a height of tens of kilometers is unnecessary and wastes energy, and it is easy to be attacked by 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. What surprised me was that Sandora sensed this when scanning the Sky Tower.
There is an energy barrier inside, and its strength is enough to affect part of Sandora's radar. Of course, it is quite simple for a Xiling Emperor to break through this barrier, but Sandora is worried that forcible destruction will cause the inside of the Sky Tower to
Some sensitive equipment is activated, so no action is taken 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. Her words were interrupted by a close explosion. "Boom!" The scorching heat caused by the explosion.
The air wave even distorted the air within a considerable area, but it was completely impossible to break through the energy shield around us. Sakina and Sona were protected inside the shield. When they saw the distorted hot air around them, their faces flushed.
The color changed. And this was just the beginning. Just a second or two later, deafening and continuous explosions covered the space where everyone was.
"Get rid of some unfriendly guards." Sandora shrugged and looked at 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. Sakina and Sona told everyone from the beginning that there were very dangerous ancient guards here, so we were not surprised at all, but those ancient guards
The shape of the guards makes people admire the imagination of their designers: they are giant statues made of silver-white metal, with an average height of about ten meters, and their whole bodies seem to be covered with metal rings. Or they are rings one after another.
They are made of metal, with parallel ring-shaped folds from head to toe. This layer of metal is both their skin and their armor. In addition, they can't see any other armor, clothing, etc. on their bodies. These silver
The white metal colossi have no facial features or gender characteristics, only thick humanoid structures. Their faces are located on a smooth trapezoidal mirror, which reflects the flickering light under the sky. After locking on the intruders like us, all the colossi immediately
Launched ferocious attacks - to my surprise, they all used long-range attacks. The hands of the colossi were some kind of artillery launchers, with the help of that ring-shaped metal structure. Their entire palms could instantly contract and fold into their wrists,
It leaves a round black muzzle. The golden-red high-temperature sphere flying out from it at high speed can produce a big explosion instantly when it touches the ground. This attack is extremely fast, almost like a machine gun, and it is on us in an instant.
Barrage coverage formed around them. As for the power of these golden-red spheres...
Okay, we have a group of leader-level guys holding up the joint shield, and Ilson, a professional MT, has activated the deflection halo. Who knows how powerful they are, I just know that there must be something special about this square, or maybe it's those metal
The attack of the Colossus can automatically identify ourselves and the enemy. In such a massive and indiscriminate bombardment, not even a single crack appeared on the dusty boulder ground around it.
Because the existence of the Sky Tower itself has exceeded our expectations, everyone has also become quite curious about the guard system here. When more than a hundred metal giants rose from the ground, my sister and I stood on one side.
After holding down Pandora and Viska who were about to escape, we wanted to see how strong the guard system here can be. Sandora activated her backup radar matrix and began to measure the attack capabilities of each metal colossus.
, his brows furrowed deeply.
"The outer layer of these golden-red light balls is arcane energy, and the core has an unstable mass collapse point. The arcane energy layer is used to produce range damage. The mass collapse point in the core is obviously to destroy physical armor. This ammunition structure
...It seems that they are not designed to deal with ordinary invaders, they are more suitable for attacking things equipped with both shields and heavy armor, such as...ground assault vehicles of interstellar civilizations."
Sandora raised her head and glanced at the colossi. The unconscious guards were still unswervingly carrying out saturation bombing on the invaders. After discovering that their firepower did not achieve the expected results, they changed their formation. The colossi formed a three-person team.
, covering alternately front and back, there is a colossus with a slightly special appearance in each three-person team: the smooth trapezoidal metal plate on their faces is constantly refreshing with complex magic runes, like a display screen, this kind of colossus
Maybe it's an elite unit like a squad leader.
I was already a little dazed at this time, 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 balls? Such a high-end thing?"
Why does it sound like I jumped from Middle Earth to Battlestar in an instant!
"Their attack power is almost equivalent to that of elite imperial soldiers. If there are other attack methods, it may even be the same as that of grassroots commanders - not counting the imperial soldiers summoning super-dimensional firepower." Sandora Yun Danfeng
Said softly.
Just when I was taken aback and was about to confirm whether Shandora had made a mistake, a frantic call finally came from beside me: "Hey! Let me tell you! Now is not the time to discuss the problem calmly! We are being attacked.
.Being bombarded by hundreds of ancient colossi! This is enough bombing to evaporate the entire knights in an instant! Can you think of something to do quickly?"
I turned my head and saw Sakina's grinning, frantic look. Next to her, Sona was nervously watching the big explosion outside the shield, the golden-red arcane energy ball.
The shock wave would not produce much smoke, so she could see more Colossi approaching closer through the twisted air more clearly. Although Sona remained calm and silent, her tail was moving every time.
It was flapping on the ground as fast as three times a second, and Sakina was even worse. She had already curled up her tail and hugged her arms: this was her subconscious habit when she was seriously insecure.
"Ugh - at least let's get rid of the Colossus soldiers here first?" Sakina said with a grimace as the scales all over her body turned green.
Shandora shrugged and indicated that I could let Pandora out. I let go of the little head that I was holding in my hand and warned the girl uneasily before rushing out: "Try to leave one or two whole corpses, we still want to
I’m doing some research.”
Pandora paused and nodded aggrievedly: According to her idea, she must have wanted to cut those colossi into sections. The height of each section should not exceed one meter and two meters, but now it seems that this idea can only be given up.
When Pandora and Visca rushed out, the half-dragon girl duo exclaimed. They may have subconsciously thought that it was too dangerous for the two short (!) little guys to rush out. But it didn't take long.
They remembered that there were examples like Medivh and Lin at the scene, so they calmed down instantly - until they saw two short winter melons facing the swarms of Colossus soldiers, and they took out two weapons with diameters almost equal to theirs.
Until the height of the giant cannon. I suddenly felt that letting these two little lunatics out was a huge mistake: Do they really have the concept of leaving a whole body? Especially when they are 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 a huge cannon came from outside the shield.
The loud noise of the explosion has swept through the entire place, and there are distorted halos and harsh metal tearing sounds everywhere. The combat power of the metal colossus is said to be on par with elite elite soldiers or low-level commanders of the empire, which is already quite staggering.
strength, but they were unlucky. They encountered a group of people who could already be classified as outside the specifications. The mass collapse bombs they released could not break through the already chaotic and indescribable joint shield around us (you will know when you think about it)
The composition of this shield is so complicated. All the leaders of the four major systems of the Gods and Xiling are inside to charge the shield), and the layer of arcane energy outside the natural bomb has no effect. The giants of Pandora and Viska
The cannon is specially prepared for destroying heavy targets, and its name is anti-ship cannon. Small warships can be penetrated from head to tail by that thing without any problem. Colossi are exploded one by one like flies being swatted under the bombardment of this huge cannon.
Open, I noticed a detail: when they are attacked, a layer of crystal-clear crystal-like shield will instantly appear on their bodies. Although this shield cannot block the bombardment at all, its existence itself enhances this colossus.
In my mind, they have strategic value. Maybe while having the attack power of the elite elite soldiers of the empire, their defense power is not weak at all?
Although these defenders are just mere soldiers in front of Pandora and the others, in a place like this, seeing a group of ancient colossi that can rival the private soldiers of the empire still makes people very concerned.
But in less than a minute, the world became quiet. Those huge colossi were actually not slow in moving, and were even as flexible as humans. However, no matter how fast they were, they could not beat the Pandora sisters' enemy-finding radar. Between the two naval guns and
A group of floating cannons that joined the battle later concentrated on destroying them, and all the defenders in the square held on for a total of forty-six seconds.
Sakina stared blankly at the pockmarked square after the smoke cleared (the potholes were all caused by Pandora and the others. Although the sisters had carefully limited the firepower, the escaped explosion shock wave still shattered the nearby boulders.
board, and the attacks of those giant statues did not harm the square itself at all, which is really amazing). After a long time, he finally regained his composure: "Ah——"
I guess she has never seen so many explosions appear around her at the same time in her life. The fact that her legs are weak is already a sign of this girl's strong will. The little crow was also frightened along with Sakina, although that one
The power of the bird when it flutters by itself is definitely not less than this, but after all, she has just been full moon for a short time, and has never seen a big scene. The stupid bird looked around, opened its arms and flapped twice. It made a "ga" sound and then mouthed.
He purred and crawled into his sister's arms.
"Brother, you want the whole corpse." Pandora ran over, raised her little hand, and pointed not far away.
I looked up and found that Pandora and Huesca actually remembered to leave a research sample: a colossus soldier was not beaten to pieces by them, but was knocked to the ground, and Huesca was carrying a huge cannon.
The cannon used its base as a hammer. It was hitting the unlucky Colossus soldier who was lying on its back. The Colossus soldier obviously hadn't stopped functioning yet. It moved its slightly deformed limbs and tried to stand up again, while Viska took advantage of the super-fast space.
Jumping and flashing around nearby, as long as part of the body of the colossus is raised to a height of more than 1.2 meters, the girl will immediately be hit with a cannon barrel, and the cat-eye loli waving the huge cannon barrel is flashing back and forth in the air.
The banging was a blast. The air was filled with loud sounds of metal knocking and Viska's cheerful cheers - this naughty kid really knew how to play.
And the Colossus soldier was also very tenacious. His hands and feet were smashed, but he still kept 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.
This guy actually wants to stand up!
"Okay, okay, let's calm down for a while." I asked Lilina to use vines to firmly fix the colossus to the ground, and then stretched out my hand to hold down Viska's little head. The cat-eyed loli was still scurrying around under my hands.
Jumping up: "Brother, brother, I'll hit you two more times, I'll hit you two more times!"
"If you hit it again, it will be flattened." I gave her a blow that would break her head. The little girl finally calmed down. Sandora squatted down and knocked on the metal statue that was still struggling angrily despite being tied up.
There was a hollow metallic echo from where she struck.
"It's empty inside." One of Sandora's fingers turned into a blue needle and stabbed hard into the chest of the metal colossus. Then she slashed vertically and cut off the metal rings on the colossus' body.
-like structure, forming a crack about a foot long, "a very strong shell, with strength comparable to the armor plate of a starship, and it has a charging structure. The inside... is like this."
She tore open the solid metal shell with her bare hands. Amidst the harsh 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
Similar organs, the body of the colossus is empty. There is only a halo of constantly changing colors flowing in the cavity like water. This halo has an almost touchable texture and contains extremely powerful energy.
Reaction - I feel that it is a bit close to the energy reaction on the raven. Of course, it is just the "mystery" of this energy that gives people a similar feeling. There is no psionic reaction on the colossus. They seem to be driven by arcane magic.
Even though the body was cut open, the colossus did not lose its vitality at all. It was still vibrating violently, and the torn gap on the chest was slowly closing: this thing actually has a strong ability to repair itself.
"Fortunately, it was us who met us. If the Colossus went to war 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 had such a high ability to repair itself.
Of course, this repair ability couldn't keep up with Sandora's dissection speed. Soon, the weapons of the Colossus were also displayed in front of our eyes. Sandora cut off one of its arms and retracted it into the wrist to form a muzzle.
The structure is cut across. What appears in front of us is a complex rune and energy array, as well as a circle of crystal structures. However, although there are many knowledgeable people on the scene, the technical content of the thing in front of us is indeed not low (some
With such a high combat effectiveness, it is not difficult to imagine), no one can figure out 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 this field.
Hey, wait, it seems that the mysterious side is not completely deserted, I seem to have one with me all the time!
"Alaya, look at the principle of this... Why did this guy fall asleep again!" I called to some sleepy angel in my spiritual world, but what I received in response was a gentle and even snoring sound.
After concentrating on the investigation, I found a certain silly cat holding Zhengxiang who was sleeping with little Qijing. I had to increase the intensity of my mental call, "Alaya, sleepyhead, lazy cat, get up quickly!"
You’ve been sleeping on and off for nearly twenty hours and you still haven’t had enough sleep?!”
After calling for a long time, Alaya's lazy and soft hum finally came to my mind. It was not easy to wake up the angel sister from her drowsiness, but she finally woke up. I asked everyone to move aside. The next second
The holy light that was wandering around condensed in the open space among the people. The holy light quickly condensed into shape and turned into a snow-white holy figure. Alaya, who was wearing a white dress, landed lightly on the ground with his bare feet.
He stretched out: in the process, he flapped his wings and flew away Dingdang, who was leaning towards him not knowing what he wanted to do. Then he opened his eyes and looked at the people around him with golden pupils in confusion.
"Wow! What is this!" Sakina finally exclaimed.
I thought about it and explained: "Remember Xiao Qijing, right? This is Xiao Qijing's mother - just understand it like this, otherwise it will be too complicated to explain."
Sona gave me a strange look and whispered, "Do you have the habit of carrying your wife and children inside your body?"
Me: "...let's talk about something light."
Alaya blinked incomprehensibly, and his golden eyes finally landed on the giant metal statue that was "clanging, clanging, clanging" next to him, and then he frowned.
As if recalling something, she whispered a word uncertainly: "Colossus of Gunda?" (To be continued)
