Chapter 182: Steel Golem
During the first discovery of the castle, Renault passed the message to Medelia and Horsen through "Friend Info". The two quickly found Renault's location according to the friend icon on the map.
The three of them got together, and Renault's incurable injuries were also restored under the divine healing, and Medilia and Hawson were very interested in not asking how the injuries were caused. Although Renault hid the dark gold ring, it is believed that he would probably see something from the natural aura left in the wound.
I didn't dwell on the cause of the injury, but there was always a dispute over whether to sneak into the castle or turn back to inform the guild.
Horsen was resolute, and Medilia had no intention of backing down.
Once this ice beauty is stubborn, even a dignified seven-foot man will be embarrassed.
Huo Sen couldn't fight, so he had to pull out Renault's shield: "Brother Lei, do you think we will retreat temporarily, or will we enter the enemy's base camp desperately and gamble with our own lives?" β
Renaud is very embarrassed, on one side of the friend, on the other hand is the beauty he admires. No matter what the conclusion is, it will offend one of them. "What's this? Let's take the long view! β
Huo Sen said with a crying voice: "Brother Lei, your eyebrows are burned, so don't play Tai Chi with us." Now it's one to one, and with your vote, we decide whether to go or stay. β
Renaud is not an indecisive man, but the dilemma is indeed difficult to define: Rationally speaking, Howzen is right, turn back to Ebudra and uproot this behemoth with the help of the forces of the Cross Alliance. But Renaud was worried that the strong man who followed him before was the master of Alchemy City, and it was very likely that the traces of the three of them had been exposed. In that case, the other party will never let them leave the dark forest alive, and the price of turning back is most likely to fall into an ambush set by the other party in advance.
Medilia's suggestion is not entirely unreasonable, building such a magnificent castle in the Dark Forest is impossible of impossible, unless it is the legendary city of mobile. In that case, the strategy of going back and moving troops will probably be in vain. Even if they broke through the ambush of Alchemy City, by the time reinforcements arrived, the castle would have long since disappeared. While it is almost impossible for Medilia to destroy the core hub of the Moving City, isn't Renault himself the best example of a miracle?
Just as Renault was in a dilemma, Medilia suddenly said, "You stay and study slowly, I'll go first." As he spoke, he walked straight to the black iron gate of the moving city.
Renault shrugged and followed. Huo Sen has no other choice, and the distinctive personality of Medilia is simply his natural nemesis. His persistence, his persistence, was simply vulnerable in front of her.
The closed black iron gate was like a muddy wall in front of the three of them, and with a push, the locked iron bolt was broken, and the three of them entered the castle in a grand manner.
Walking through the gate, the three of them were even more sure that this was the legendary mobile city, and the interior decoration was not as magnificent as that of ordinary castles, and simple but elegant decorations could be seen everywhere. The most impressive thing is the alchemy machine composed of countless gears and dissimilar metal components.
The three of them did not deliberately hide themselves, since it was a legendary mobile city, it was impossible not to have the most basic defenses. And when they entered the castle, Renault had already noticed that a faint sense of energy swept over them.
It's been exposed!
After knowing this, the three of them didn't react much, after all, they had expected it before.
The three of them left the hallway and walked down the hallway as far as the eye could see. The walls lined with blue bricks are inlaid with butter candles instead of the magic lamps that are usually seen. The limited brightness of the lights adds to the gloom of the deep corridor. The fluctuation of the air flow brought by the walk caused the candle flames to flicker incessantly, and magnified the shadows of the three people several times and projected them on the blue brick wall, as if the three giants were strolling along.
After about five minutes of walking, the corridors were lined with more decorations: steel armor stood against the walls, their weapons flickering in the faint candlelight, as if they were ready to attack the three of them.
Renault suddenly stopped, and looked carefully at the first armor, and from his frowning brow, Hussen felt uneasy: "What's wrong?" Is there a problem with these armors? As he spoke, he struck twice on the heavy breastplate, and a crisp metal echo immediately echoed in the hallway.
It's empty inside!
It means that no one is hiding inside, so it should be fine. But the uneasiness that lingered in Renault's heart still lingered.
What went wrong?
Just as Renault was worried, a sudden "click" broke the silence of the corridor. The three of them immediately became alert, and Renault instinctively jumped backwards.
The sound was clearly coming from the inside of the shell armor!
Renault shouted, "Be careful! The sound of metal grinding in the hallway immediately resounded, and the "belly" of several armors in front of it also resounded with the screeching sound of gears, like performing a steel hymn.
It's moving! A suit of steel armor moves! Not only that, but through the dark holes in the helmet's dark eyes, the three of them saw the sparks that were gradually burningβit was the soul fire awakening.
As if he had seen such a mechanism, Huo Sen shouted, "This is a steel golem!" Be careful, everybody. β
Reynolds said, "Have you encountered it before?" β
Huo Sen smiled bitterly: "Not to mention, I have also fought with them. β
Renault seemed to think of something from his embarrassed wry smile, and hurriedly asked, "How was the result?" β
Huo Sen replied without even thinking about it: "Awful! Lose both. Beware of their defenses, which are defenses that even the major forces can't break. β
There was no need for Huo Sen's reminder that Renault had already seen the signs in the plate armor that was beginning to fade gray, and it was all rare quality silver-grade plate armor! Defenses catch up with ordinary epic heavy armor.
There are as many as six steel golems, each two meters tall, and they are as agile as a knight in plate armor under the power of internal gears. Although the joints are still a little jerky, just looking at the way they act, there is not much difference from real people. They vary in their weapons, ranging from two-handed spears for cavalry, robotic arm crossbows for long ranges, and broadswords for short and medium ranges. If the six steel puppets were separated, they would not be able to pose any threat to Renault, but once they were united, with a skillful tactical formation, even if they were as strong as the Demon Swordsman, they had to be cautious, otherwise they might be injured if they were not careful.
The soul fire in the eyes of the steel golem changed from the original dark color to a faint blue flame, which is a sign of complete awakening, and the jerkiness on the joints is not so obvious due to the huge size. They did not immediately attack the intruders and were very disciplined to "unite" together. Soon, a rare formation appeared in front of the trio - two spear golems stood at the forefront, and the broadsword golem stood in the center, protecting the last arm and crossbow golem.
"This is the Mandarin Duck Formation!" Horsen exclaimed.
Renault is also a senior professional player in Bogu Tongjin, and he knows a little about the Ming Dynasty's famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang's creation of the Mandarin Duck Array. Except for the lack of a shield hand responsible for defense, the name of the Mandarin Duck Array is very commensurate.
"Kill ......," the six steel golems shouted in unison, the sound of the metal gears rolling muffled the sound. However, it did not reduce the solemnity of the atmosphere, but only added a little weirdness.
Quick! As the strongest attack in the squad, Renault has taken the lead in moving his body. The flame sword in his hand was as bright as red-hot steel, and with a fiery red tail flame, he launched the fiercest attack on the steel puppet.
Whoosh ...... It was the sound of the crossbow as it slashed through the air, six in all.
"Damn! It turned out to be a repeater! Renault cursed secretly, and his free left hand flashed a faint round magic shield.
The three crossbows were blocked by the small round shield summoned by Renault in time, and the other two were shot down by the Flame Sword, but the last crossbow was too tricky and shot at Renault's left ankle, which was difficult to defend and parry.
The injury is not serious, but it greatly affects the speed of movement. Just as he was stagnant, two spears stabbed at the left and right at the same time, and Renault shouted loudly, and used his small round shield to catch the spear stabbed on the left, and the other hand put down the head of the spear stabbed from the right. However, the strength of the steel golem greatly exceeded Renault's expectations, and the epic small round shield was almost pierced by a spear with an armor-piercing effect, while the Bright Flame Sword only changed the trajectory of the spear head, and the original target was changed from the chest to the lower abdomen.
Strong, not generally strong. Renault finally understood why Hawson had the same expression when he saw the steel golem.
Renault exhaled deeply, ignoring the two broadsword puppets that were striking him from his left and right wings, and stomped on his feet, taking advantage of the impact from the small round shield, and fled backwards. While resolving the crisis of the right side stabbing in the lower abdomen, it also successfully avoided the possibility of the two wings being pinched.
"Brother Lei, I'll take charge of the defense, and you're responsible for finding fighters behind me. Medilia, Divine Preparation! Huo Sen deployed his tactics in one go, and overtook Renault non-stop, blocking the six steel golems in front of him.
Renault took advantage of the moment to settle his body, the tip of the sword slashed downward, and brought out the sharp arrow stuck in his ankle, and was about to continue the battle when a numbness came from his left ankle.
"Oops, the arrows have toxins attached to them!" If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Swordsman had an advantage in various resistances that other classes didn't have, the poison on the arrow would have made him incapacitated.
Rao is like this, Renault's movement is greatly restricted, unless he drinks the antidote, otherwise, with the speed of the spread of the toxin, it will spread to all parts of the body sooner or later.
Suddenly, a faint magical light shone on Renault's body, and the paralysis under Renault's feet suddenly dissipated without a trace.
"Divine Technique - Detoxification!" Renault stole a glance behind him, and it was Medelia who was unleashing her magic spell for herself. Immediately after, one by one the auxiliary skills fell on Renault and Horsen: Divine Blessing, Acceleration Extreme, and Sacred Word Barrier. Each one is an upgraded version of normal support magic. For example, the Divine Blessing is twice as effective as the normal Blessing Technique, and the Acceleration Extreme and the Word Barrier are more than 50% stronger than the Acceleration Technique and the Word Barrier.
Magic is really a must-have for home travel, killing people and stealing goods.
