The metal passage was not long, only a few meters, and on the opposite side was a large metal isolation door that had fallen. There is also a small door next to the isolation door, which is supposed to be used by the humanoid golems and their original controllers on a daily basis.

"Humanoid, close in height to the Parvatiga, with an unknown appearance, but probably not too peculiar. Standing in front of the small door, Shurbi measured the level of the entrance, "If, as Mia said, it is the automatic system that controls the fortress, then there are only two reasons why the weapons do not attack us, or even allow us to enter such an important base. ”

"Traps, lure us in?"

"It's not that exaggerated, let's not talk about whether the automatic system has the intelligence to set traps, and even if it can really set it, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Shur pressed his hand against the door, shook his head, and said, "Whether it's the bugs or the controllers of this fortress, their knowledge of our offensive and defensive capabilities is based on them. ”

Shure gestured to the ordinary mercenaries who were guarding outside of the ordinary people.

"Are you deliberately hiding your strength?" Mia said with a little surprise.

"There's no harm in keeping a hole card in your hand. Shuer smiled noncommittally, "If the fortress wants to destroy them, it can be done with only those guns, and there is no need to do anything, as long as we advance the firing time by a few seconds just now, if we don't participate in the battle, we will be flanked from the front and back, and no one will survive, so there is no need to waste time laying traps, and we have to risk being destroyed from the inside." ”

"Yes, that's right. Mia's proud eyes became a little different, but could your expression be a little more vicious with the necromancer next to her? Mia didn't notice that someone was gritting her teeth, and said thoughtfully, "So the two reasons you said, one is ......"

"One is that the attack order of the fortress automaton system is only aimed at bugs. "Depending on the situation, the two sides are mortal enemies, and the fungus blanket that covers the ground disappears near the fortress, and the fortress opens fire as soon as it sees insects, which is enough to show the attitude of both sides." Well, if the stronghold has bugs as mortal enemies, and all other creatures are friendly creatures, it can explain why we don't get attacked. ”

"As for the second reason, the creatures that created this fortress and controlled the automatic system are very similar to us, so that the automatic system of the fortress will judge us as allies, and of course it will not attack us again. ”

"Two possibilities, originally I didn't have a tendency, but seeing those humanoid puppets, and then seeing the height and size of the inner and outer doors, I am more and more inclined to the second point, the similarity between our two sides is enough to confuse the judgment of the automatic system. ”

"Eh, can otherworldly creatures look the same as us?" said Moria, surprised, "Why are all the strange creatures I see, even the remains of intelligent creatures, not like human form?"

Xiu'er didn't speak, just stared at Lin Jing with very weak eyes.

"Ah, hahaha, I didn't say anything just now. "When Xiuer asked who had experience chasing shadows before, this guy pretended not to understand anything, and accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, but with Lin Jing's character, of course he would be casual, "You didn't hear anything, right, hahaha." ”

"Alas. Xiuer sighed deeply, feeling that a creature like Lin Jing was simply his natural enemy, but the captain's duty still had to be fulfilled, so he could only explain weakly, "There will be strange intelligent creatures, but there must also be creatures exactly like us, there is no need to question this." ”

"Eh, how do you know?" said Moria, meaningfully, "You probably haven't been in the projection space, why are you so sure?"

"Because I ......"

"Oops. Lin Jing subtly interrupted Xiu'er's already good words, "It's so dark, I'm going to be out of breath, get out quickly, I want to bask in the stars." ”

What's your logic? Shul grinded his teeth, feeling a splitting headache.

Headache to headache, the door still has to be entered, and Shul pushed the side door open with force. It was dark outside, but in the eyes of everyone who had adapted to the darkness, the stars outside were dazzling.

When the gaze returned, everyone felt as if they had entered a world that only existed in fantasy.

The first thing you see is a square square with a length and width of 50 meters, and like the walls, the floor of the square is also made of metal, and the silver-gray metal shines in the starlight. In the center of the square, a large support with a complex shape is slowly being retracted into the ground, judging from the position where the smoke has just risen, the powerful cannonball should have been sent from this support. When the bracket is retracted into the ground, the square becomes flat and smooth, and it is difficult to find the position where the bracket is raised.

On the metal square, there are six hideous metal monsters parked, the shape of all metal, the same crawler base as a humanoid puppet, the heavy and sturdy front and rear armor, the flexible rotating turret, the long barrel that sticks out of the body, the barrel of the black hole hole is thick and long, the inner diameter is even about the same as the thigh of an adult, it is hard to imagine how powerful the cannonball fired inside will be.

The metal monster was much taller than a human, and he could only look up when he stood in front of him, and Shuer tried to shake it, even with the power of his blessed divine arts, it was difficult to lift it, and it could only make it rise and fall slightly.

"It's heavy, at least tens of thousands of kilograms. Shul shook his hand and pouted, if it was replaced by Duck or Saf, he might be able to lift up a little bit, use up his explosive power, and maybe drag two steps, but he definitely couldn't.

In addition to these six metal monsters, there are also two other man-made machines parked in the square, which are very strangely shaped and immediately attract everyone's attention.

The machine has a flat body, almost horizontal below, and several small wheels protrude from the body on the ground, supporting the entire machine. Looking at the bottom of the machine from directly below, you can see that in addition to the wheels, there are several holes with large arms at the bottom of the machine, and there are traces of high temperature burning inside the holes, and there should be flames spewing out of them.

The upper part of the machine is perfectly streamlined, with a very smooth surface that can even illuminate a human figure.

The two triangular pieces of metal, jutting out from either side of the machine, looked like the wings of birds, and the surface of the parts was equally smooth, and Shul even suspected that even if water was sprinkled on it, it would quickly slip off without leaving a trace.

At the tail of the machine, there are six spouts similar to the lower part, but they are much thicker than the bottom spouts, and there are also traces of scorching inside, which are cold to the touch, and it seems that they have not been used recently.

"What is this?" Everyone was quite interested in surrounding the two machines, and even the ordinary mercenaries were curious, until they were scolded by Shuer a few times, and then returned to their posts.

It's no wonder that everyone is curious, although the six metal monsters look hideous and terrifying, but at a glance at the shape, you can know that they are nothing more than large-scale war weapons, but these two are different, it stands to reason that if they are placed here, they should also be war weapons, but no matter how you look at it, you can't see how it exerts its strength.

Maybe no one can't see it, at least Yuri, who has been pretending to be an ordinary person, has two frenzied flames in his eyes, it's like Shur has seen the gold coin, oh no, it's like Shur has bathed in divine grace. Unfortunately, everyone's attention was drawn to the strange machinery, and no one noticed Yuri's enthusiasm.

Eight war equipment, the square is full, and there are many inward-facing guns around the square, ready for the enemy to invade the interior at any time, it is simply fully armed, worthy of a military fortress.

But that's all, where do the metal golems usually stay? Where do the humanoid creatures that make the automatic system stay if they enter the fortress? Also, the vehicles have cockpits and can certainly be piloted manually, so where are the drivers, the biological warriors?

Inside the fortress, of course.

Walking around the fortress, in addition to a few steps up to the fortress, you can find several metal doors embedded in the walls, with signs of up and down arrows next to them. It's just an elevator, and there are similar tools in Pavatiga, which are mostly used in magic towers, and it is said that the sky city of the winged people is also often used, but the material and driving energy are different, and the reason is still the same.

"First up or first down?" It's safe time, and Shure is talking a lot, not like in wartime, "The top should be the combat platform, and the bottom is the main body of the fortress, Dak, you just saw the top, is there anything special?"

"It's boring. "It's similar to our walls, except that bows and arrows have been replaced with guns, but it's a little strange." ”

"Huh, what's strange?"

"It's just ......" Duck was about to say something, when the fortress suddenly became bright, the walls, the ground, there were lights, the light was soft, but it was enough to illuminate the whole square.

At the same time as the lights, there was a sound that resounded through the fortress square, and the sound was the same as that of the humanoid puppet, which seemed to be made by machinery, but this one was more female. The voice was repeated several times, and as always, no one understood the meaning.

"That's the weirdness of that. Duck looked up, "It turns out that those interfaces and slides are for this purpose. ”

Above the head, at the top of the fortress, several curved metal plates slowly rose from within the thick metal wall, and after the metal plates rose to the highest point, they began to close inward, and finally spliced together to form a hemispherical zenith, which closed the top of the fortress and turned the open-air plaza into an indoor square.

"Well, I wonder why war equipment should be left in the open, when it can still be like this. Retracting his attention from the closed roof, Shul pressed the downward arrow, "Since it's boring up there, let's go down and take a look, I'd love to see the automatic system that can control the entire fortress." ”

The elevator is smooth and fast, and quiet, much easier to use than the crystal energy elevator of Pavatiga, but the space inside is not large, and it can carry more than 20 people at most. There was no way, it could only be divided into two groups, Shuer took one group first, and within a few seconds of entering the elevator, he descended dozens of meters in height and entered the interior of the fortress.

As soon as the door of the elevator opened, several dangerous firearms were seen protruding from the roof, aiming at the exit of the elevator from all angles.
