Chapter 44: The Robot Army
Having won the first battle, knowing the enemy's weakness, the raiders easily defeated the White Knight Armor.
"The passage down is here!" Everyone was still reminiscing about the victory just now, and the gray-robed man had already found the next way.
So, the raiding party moved on.
"Brother Fan, that trick just now was pretty good! Is it a spell? Someone asked Fan Li.
"It's just a spell." Fan Li explained with a smile, "All I did was write it out with my sword, and if I can play a little role, I can't count on the attack power." β
Ling Jian sighed beside him: "Can you still operate like this?" It's really a world full of wonders! β
Fan Li suddenly leaned over and said to Ling Key, "This trick was taught by our family's mage, if you are interested, young man......"
Ling Jian rolled his eyes, this uncle still hasn't given up his plan to "abduct" himself! Speaking of which, I don't know which studio he works in. However, Ling Jian didn't plan to ask him, he always felt that once he spoke, he would be moved by default, which made it even more difficult to refuse.
"But speaking of which, the spell you wrote is really straightforward, uncle, against the damage of invisible ghosts...... It's a shame that this spell works! Ling Jian turned to sigh.
Fan Li was surprised: "Huh? Can you read the incantation, boy? He said that almost no one could read the incantation......"
Ling Jian was stunned for a moment, and before he could think about it, Fan Li said to himself: "Well, anyway, the things of the legal profession are like that, right?" Boy, you're really close to us, think about it more! β
The middle-aged man patted Ling Key on the shoulder earnestly, and then without giving him a chance to refute, he squeezed to the front of the line and walked side by side with Old.
"Anyway, why are we going down?" Walking down the long staircase all the way to the underground, someone suddenly asked, "Didn't you say in the previous battle meeting that the real place where the enemy might stay is the third floor at the top of the fort?" β
Hearing him say this, the others finally reacted, and they were directly taken down by the gray-robed man just now, without carefully searching the hall at all, and didn't even think much about the reason.
Could it be that the gray-robed man is......
"Okay, the road is right." Old said.
The gray-robed man hurriedly explained: "Yes, this is a special design of the fortress. I don't know if the other forts look like this, but as far as I know, most of the forward bases of the Knights of the Flame are laid out this way. Because the most important torches in the fortress were placed on the top floor, the defense of the top floor was extremely strict. There is no way up the hall on the first floor, only go down first, and there is a staircase up until the second basement floor. β
"What a troublesome design ......"
Fan Li also said: "Yes, but it is really good for defensive operations......
In other words, it is not conducive to their offensive crusades.
"And considering that the enemy is the armor collector," said Old Dakker mused, "even if he was the only one in the fortress, it would be equivalent to having a legion." I'm afraid you'll have to be mentally prepared next......"
"Prepare what?" Someone asked.
Old Dekker sneered and pushed open the door at the end of the stairs, revealing the space on the basement floor.
"Prepare for the baptism of the army!"
In the huge underground space that has been excavated, there is a neat army of steel!
β¦β¦
Just as Old Dakker pushed open the door of the underground space, the defeated white knight's armor that had been scattered all over their heads suddenly moved in the hall where they had just fought.
The grumbling and weak wails sounded again, as if unwilling to die here.
As if in response to its call, a faint blue suddenly flashed on the ceiling. A dark blue crystal falls through the ceiling.
"Ding~" The mutilated crystal stone fell into the gap between the helmet and the visor - as if swallowed by the white knight's open mouth.
β¦β¦
"Hey, hey, kidding, right?"
"What's the deal with this amount?"
"This should just be the Knights' arsenal, what is the place to store the armor......
No, it's not armor. Ling Key narrowed his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him: an underground space larger than the hall above, a high dome supported by two rows of stone pillarsβhe finally knew why the staircase was so long.
And in this vast dungeon, an army is neatly arranged, and under the light of the dome, it is shining with a metallic luster, shining and even a little dazzling.
The visual impact of this silent army was very strong, and the group of raiders was a little distracted for a moment. But if you look closely, you can find that their number is not so exaggerated, Ling Key roughly visually inspected, but only about three hundred. Overly neat queues give the illusion of a large number.
Ling Jian also determined that these things were definitely not stock armor - it could be seen that their limbs and waist were very thin, and they should be made of several metal brackets, which could not be worn by people.
And their overall style doesn't want to be something like "armor" either. Ling Key's words can still be somewhat associated with sci-fi exoskeleton armor such as "Future Soldier", but it obviously does not exist in this world...... At least there is no verifiable history.
However, the armor collector who made these things is also a talent.
The two sides looked at each other and confronted each other for a while. As a result, the "robot army" did not react.
"We ...... What's next? β
Old ordered: "Be careful to pass through, always ready to fight!" β
Old Dekker definitely didn't believe that such an army was just here for decoration, but there was no need for them to take the initiative to provoke. After all, he is not leading the main force of the Traveler's House......
In other words, if it is the front-line expedition team of the Traveler's House, I'm afraid that it will directly cover all the troubles with firepower and then move on, right?
Walking in the steel jungle-like robot phalanx, Old Dake raised his vigilance, but his heart was very relaxed. To be honest, such a legion simply cannot pose an effective threat on its own. With enough time, it is not difficult for one person to cut it all to pieces.
When the crowd reached the middle of the phalanx, the robot legion launched an attack as expected!
"Haha!" Old Dekker let out a long laugh and swung his knife to smash a robot in front of him, "Sure enough, can't you help it?" Don't fight, give me a break to the next level! β
The people were in a panic, and according to the plan just agreed, they were going to follow the old Dake forward.
But at this moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked, and then quickly moved to change position. Scattering the raiders to all areas of the hall at once, the robot legions were also divided in all directions. There are a different number of robot warriors around everyone!
"Hey, boy, are you okay?" In the last moments before the division was completed, Fan Li's voice echoed through the underground space.
There was no other reason, it was entirely because of the largest number of robots "assigned" by Ling Key's side, and Fan Li saw at a glance that there were more than eighty robots around him, almost one-third of the total number of all robot legions.
"Damn! It seems that you can't get by without solving them! Old Dake yelled, "Everyone is fighting their own battles, and you have the spare power to help the others!" Quick ......"
The voice did not fall, and the mutation regenerated. A wall suddenly rises from the ground, dividing everyone into more than thirty individual compartments. There is only one person in each "room", and several robot warriors in varying numbers.
The room where Ling Key was located should be the largest one.
