The roar of the mechanical spider came from behind, and the bullets of the heavy-duty minigun tore through the air and passed by with a sharp whistle. The alarms that resounded throughout the city still did not stop, and the sharp sirens continued to sound from all directions.
More and more Twilight Guards are pouring out of their garrison, trying to intercept the dangerous elements that are rushing towards the big elevator.
However, the person they wanted to intercept had already broken through the largest blockade, and the air pillars surrounding the big elevator became increasingly clear before their eyes.
Hao Ren was riding on the bridge of Lily's nose in high spirits. He looked back and found that the steam robots from Steam Division 6 had not caught up. Those huge mechanical spiders seemed to be only good at attacking and defending, not chasing, so he reached out and rubbed them.
Rubbing a bunch of hair between Lily's forehead: "Nice job."
Lily's eyes widened into cross-eyes, and she nodded her head happily: "Woo-hoo"
Hao Ren almost got thrown out on the spot.
"This is what I... planned before..." Wendell was still surrounded by a large group of bats, flying forward in the air in a daze, shouting intermittently as he flew, "It's not the same!"
"This is called planb!" Vivian opened a pair of bat wings and flew in the air, saying loudly as she flew, "Your ancient saint is hidden deep in the city, surrounded by intricate guards, and the power of the Light Seeker is in the entire system.
It’s completely ******** inside, so you still expect to be able to safely send us to the Iron Throne?”
Elizabeth carried a huge mechanical leg that was two meters longer than her, and followed Lily running and jumping: "I like planb!"
Faced with this group of super creatures that were completely unconventional and incredibly powerful, Wendell finally said nothing, and... began to calm down a little, thinking about what he was doing by bringing this group of people into the Twilight City.
Not a mistake.
Perhaps it was the long journey in the darkness that weakened his spirit, or perhaps the joy brought by suddenly finding the "fire" diluted the vigilance that a light seeker should have, or perhaps it was really the slowness caused by increasing age, Wendell
Only then did he realize that he knew nothing about the group of people in front of him: he only knew their names, knew that they came from outside the Twilight City, and knew that they were "the remaining light in the long night", but he knew nothing about them.
The true purpose and character of the crowd are unknown.
But now, this group of powerful and mysterious strangers has arrived in the Twilight City, and they have quickly shown incredible power. Even the Sixth Section of Steam, which was once used to resist alien monsters, is no match for these people. They
Now we are heading towards the Iron Throne of the Old Saints... Is this really no problem?
After calming down from the initial excitement and joy, Wendell felt a cold sweat slowly break out from his forehead.
Just when these thoughts emerged more and more uncontrollably, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Bring them here."
Wendell woke up instantly and looked around in panic: "Who?!"
"Bring them here," the voice did not explain anything, but just repeated it again, with a calm tone but with a kind of majesty and necessity that could not be rejected, "They are the people I am waiting for."
Wendell's mind went blank for half a minute, until another piercing whistle came from the distance, which made him wake up in horror. The old man almost screamed, but he quickly closed his mouth and tried to respond in his mind:
"Old Saint?!"
After a while, the expression on the old man's face finally calmed down, and with some joy, he looked up and looked ahead, just in time to see a black steel tower gradually enlarging in front of his eyes, so he loudly reminded: "We're here! There is a big elevator ahead.
!”
At the top of the Twilight City, several of the most magnificent buildings gradually tilted closer together. The platforms and steel beams extending from the buildings overlapped and connected to form a magnificent steel square. The heavy and huge
Gears and bearings rotate on the mechanical platform at the edge of the square. The large pipes surrounding the square continuously leak out streams of incompletely condensed steam. Several black steel towers are the most eye-catching buildings on the square. These steel towers are inlaid with
There were gleaming runes, and the red light from the laser lamp continued to sweep across the entire platform from the top of the tower.
This is where the big lift is located.
The Twilight City guards who had been summoned urgently were already standing ready on this platform.
Hundreds of Steam Council guards wearing steel armor formed a human wall side by side. Their armor was extremely thick, each one of them was more than two meters tall. On the heavy black armor, you can see the valves that are full of the characteristics of this city.
With pipes, the dark red pressure gauge on the chest is surging with sacred steam power. They hold heavy muskets and serve as the first line of defense on the platform.
Behind the parliamentary guards were several semi-fixed heavy artillery units that had been hastily erected, as well as some mobile artillery pieces crouching on the ground. The mechanical legs of those mobile artillery pieces were tightly latched onto the reserved connections on the large elevator platform.
Between the two barrels of each artillery piece, there is a creepy-looking, almost fake mechanical eyeball that moves around rapidly.
Behind this second line of defense is the ultimate third line of defense: more than a dozen spellcasters floating in mid-air.
Hao Ren was surprised to see a dozen magicians here, or 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 were dancing in the wind, one by one.
Their faces are serious and cold, and their long-term exposure to forbidden powers has made them extremely thin, as if they are about to turn into mummies, which is intimidating to look at. Each caster is surrounded by several arcane balls, although the magic balls around Anthony are not the same as those around Anthony.
They are not on the same level at all, but this is enough to prove that they are real battle mages.
There was actually a mage troop in the Twilight City. Hao Ren couldn't help but be surprised by the changeable and strange style of this apocalyptic city.
"That's the wizard group," Wendell's voice suddenly came from the side. "They are scholars with ancient forbidden bloodlines and experts in using runes. Be careful about their power: the absolute power of these wizards may be greater than that of Steam Six
The giant beasts of the family are weak, but their abilities are very strange and unpredictable, and it is dangerous if they are underestimated."
Hao Ren said oh, turned to look at Wendel, and was suddenly surprised: he found that the old man had a mysterious smile on his face for some reason, looking proud but trying hard to remain reserved.
"Have you thought of something good?" Nangong Sanba on the side also noticed this and asked casually.
"Today is a day full of glory," Wendell's reply was tactless, "the ancient saints are guiding our destiny."
Everyone felt confused, but at this time, the Twilight Guards in front of the elevator were already facing a formidable enemy.
Most of them were summoned in a hurry when they were completely confused. Ordinary soldiers had no idea what was happening in the city, and they had no idea what the enemy they were facing was like. They heard that the Sixth Steam Division had already set off.
To form the first line of defense, many people thought that things would be foolproof: the iron wall of Steam Section 6 has always been solid and unbreakable in the minds of ordinary soldiers. They never expected that the enemy would appear in front of them so soon!
The Sixth Steam Division didn't even succeed in delaying this group of people for more than ten minutes, which shocked the twilight guards who gathered in a hurry.
What shocked them even more was that the enemies in front of them had terrifying appearances as if they came from the mythical era: giant white wolves (dogs) that were so huge that they seemed to be able to devour everything, and ferocious giants that were taller than some soldiers wearing steam armor.
, a woman flying in the air with devil bat wings, and a weird half-human, half-snake creature!
The wizards floating in the air obviously thought more than the ordinary soldiers on the ground. They had been studying 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, and one of them was inlaid on the forehead.
The old wizard with rune symbols 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 ferocious man must come from the land of giants. Although he is shorter than the giants, he is as ugly as the giants!"
After thinking about themselves for a while, all the wizards had the same idea in their hearts: these people in front of them almost seemed to be the descendants of those ancient evil things in myths and legends. Could it be that the end of the Twilight City is coming?
Has it finally arrived? Are these ferocious enemies here to complete the unfinished Ragnarok two thousand years ago?
The tension and fear of the wizards seemed to have infected the guards on the ground. One of the soldiers shook his hand, and the heavy musket roared and spit out long tongues of fire. The sound of the gunfire directly detonated all the firepower on the defense line.
