Inside the fortress, near the core area.

The two Great Elders, Tao Tao and Jie Jie, were running in a hurry, and finally arrived at the nearest safe house.

Considering that the core area is also a key target for the enemy in times of war, the safe house is specially set up a little farther away.

Of course, the main reason is just a vacant seat chosen by the designer...... After all, no one thought that someone would be able to break into this place.

As soon as they closed the heavy gate, before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw the door made of multi-layer composite steel plates vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of hoarfrost quickly climbed on the door panel, and the hoarfrost quickly condensed into a thin crust of ice. Tao Tao Jiejie, who was hiding inside, only felt a biting coldness.

Click!

Suddenly a hole opened in the ice...... And the gate underneath was cracked.

Rumble!

Another loud bang. This time the door could no longer hold up, like fragile porcelain, and cracks crawled all over the door panel in the blink of an eye.

Then, the gates of high hopes shattered all over the ground.

A terrifying man with an icy aura appeared outside the door, looking inside with eyes without the slightest emotion.

The two Great Elders of the Shen Clan stiffened and did not dare to move.

After a moment of stalemate, as if coming back to his senses, Jiejie forcibly pressed down the panic in his heart, stepped forward to block his companion, and took out a wrench-shaped staff from his pocket, and began to tremble.

"Jiejie, are you crazy?" From behind him, there was an exclamation in Momo's low voice.

The Shen are not good at fighting, nor are they good at the magic of other demons. But that doesn't mean they don't have the ability to fight, and it doesn't mean they can't use magic.

In fact, most of the best large-scale ritual magicians in the Demon Realm are from the Shen Clan, or they are just guys who have studied abroad in the Shen Clan.

However, the Shen call the magic they use "arcane", a special method of casting spells based entirely on wisdom and standardized rituals.

The fourth elder of the Shen clan, Jie Jie, is a profound grand arcanist.

If he is given enough time and space, he can even exert a terrifying attack power far beyond the Demon King level.

But...... Just like all Shen demons, if they encounter hand-to-hand combat, any commander can kill him......

In Woz's eyes, it was even more of a non-threatening existence - at least, he didn't have the time to wait for Jay to finish the spell.

"Enough!" Woz struck him on the head with his staff, forcibly interrupting the spell.

The Great Elder of the Shen Clan, who was overly frightened, sat down on the ground and looked at Woz in shock.

And the demons of this breed? Waz muttered in his heart, but he didn't bother to ask.

"What kind of place is this!" He asked bluntly.

"This is the safe house, the place to protect us from the war!" Tao Tao also told the truth.

"The core area of this world should be around here, right?" Waz asked again, he had completely mistaken the two timid fellows for ordinary craftsmen, and had not played too much tricks.

Usually, the sense of secrecy of the little people will be a little worse, and a lot of information will always be revealed unconsciously.

"Well, there's a little bit more in the core."

However, although the two Great Elders of the Shen Clan were in high positions, they really didn't have any sense of secrecy.

"Yes." Woz looked back, "Thank you......"

At this time, the ground shook violently again.

Tao Tao Jiejie knew that it was a change in the modules inside the fortress, or a movement caused by the movement of some kind of large machinery.

Her Highness Sophia's Mechanical Legion is coming here!

"Well, then, you go ahead and hide." Woz walked out of the safe house and backhanded a gate with ice cubes, shutting the safe house again.

Neither Woz nor Peach Jackie noticed that in the few short breaths just now, a small object with a metallic luster fell from Peach Tao's waist.

After bouncing on the ground a few times, the small object left the safe house.

The brass gears were energized by the vibrations coming from the ground and rolled tirelessly down the passage.

Soon, it hit an obstacle.

A maintenance golem made of steel.

This golem is the most common model inside the stronghold, with a scorpion-like lower body and a humanoid upper body and hands.

The maintenance puppet is more than two meters tall and more than two meters long, which is a behemoth compared to the small pinions under its feet.

At this time, the maintenance golem is working on repairs. Its scorpion tail is a high-powered laser welder that emits dark red rays that mend cracks in the walls. The generous back room is its toolbox and material rack, which is filled with a wide variety of tools at its disposal.

The maintenance golem is not sapient, so it completely ignores the faint impact from under its feet.

But the brass gear stopped moving forward, as if accumulating a scorpion of strength in place, and then suddenly bounced upward, changed its trajectory in the air, and flew into the maintenance puppet's body with a whoosh.

The maintenance puppet suddenly stopped working, as if suddenly realizing something, and looked down.

Airplanes!

The brass gear spun at high speed, turning into a tiny chainsaw, tearing through the shell armor of the repair golem and burrowing headlong into it.

There was a violent movement in the maintenance golem's body, and the whole body twitched and trembled as if an ordinary human had been electrocuted, all the joints twisted strangely, and the mouth that had been used for decoration was also wide open, letting out a silent roar.

After a few seconds, everything suddenly calmed down again, and the repair puppet returned to normal.

Except for the wound on his chest, it was no different from before.

The maintenance puppet turned its head and looked around. Then he lowered his head and looked at it with open hands.

Slowly close your fingers, clench your fists, and then slowly open them again.

Rumble! The buzzer of the machine running at high speed suddenly sounded in the body, and the brass gear embedded in the transmission mechanism in the body rotated at high speed.

The golem's eyes lit up instantly.

It reached for a chainsaw from the toolbox on its back.

Buzz Buzz......

The chainsaw is directly connected to the power source in the puppet machine, and instantly enters an overload state.

Call!

The maintenance golem tried to swing it, leaving deep tears in the walls and floor.

Nodding in satisfaction, he slowed down the chainsaw, and the maintenance golem made his way forward along the passage.

On the other side, Woz was coming head-on.

Woz saw a maintenance golem patrolling the passage from afar, not paying much attention.

Along the way, Wox had learned quite a bit about it, and knew that this model of puppet was just a repairman, and its preset program was to repair the damaged parts of the fortress, not combat.

So later on, Woz chose to ignore them and walked straight to the side.

Merely...... Woz frowned, giving the maintenance golem one more look.

The moment it got close to it, strictly speaking, it entered the attack range of the chainsaw, and the roar of the motor suddenly soared several steps, and it felt as if it was about to burn out the engine, driving the chainsaw into a real furious weapon!

The fast-spinning chainsaw fell head-on.

Woz had such an expression and calmly dodged it.

However, unexpectedly, this maintenance puppet has unexpected sensitivity and strength, and after realizing that this blow cannot be effective, it quickly changes its tactics to sweep!

This is not in line with the normal performance of a puppet! Woz was shocked, and it was too late to dodge.

So he had to erect his staff to block it.

Zizi, sparks splash around.

Because of the power overload, the chainsaw made an unpleasant sound and quickly scrapped.

At the same time, the staff in Woz's hand was sawed out with a crooked wound - the first time Wozna had injured it since he arrived at the staff!
