Chapter 157: The War between the North and the South (9)

The "Steam Praetorian Guard" series is a war machine specially developed by the Steam Gospel, and there are several models, among which the "Steam Praetorian Guard" Type 4 is the highest single model in this series, also known as the "Steam Archon".

With Robert's order, a horizontal dimensional gate appeared above the battlefield, and the exit was aimed at the ground below.

"Rahu" came down from the earth, and the "Steam Archon" came from heaven.

I saw a huge metal box thrown down from the dimensional gate, as if a meteorite had crashed to the ground, smashing out a crater with a diameter of more than ten miles.

Then the walls of the metal box burst open on all sides, slamming into the ground, bursting with dazzling white light. Faintly visible, what was placed in the box was a metal cube that was only one size smaller than the metal box, and the surface was painted with various patterns similar to metal pipes, inlaid with unknown gems, some similar to a Rubik's cube.

The massive cube suddenly split into a number of smaller cubes, suspended in mid-air, and then reassembled, twisting and changing at the same time, eventually turning into a steel giant.

Steam Archon!

In a sense, the "Steam Archon" is somewhat similar to Takefu, with "Steam Power Cores" installed in many key locations, which is the same as Takefu's ability to control the whole body through the acupuncture body and spirit.

The "Steam Archon" is equipped with twelve "Steam Power Cores", namely the head, heart, lower abdomen, crotch, shoulders, elbows, knees, and feet, which makes the "Steam Archon" achieve a very balanced state of the whole body, and can act independently, in other words, in order to completely paralyze the "Steam Archon", it is necessary to destroy all the "Steam Power Cores".

Almost at the same time, Rahu, who had just summoned a meteor shower, also noticed this big steel guy, roared angrily, and immediately rushed towards the "Steam Archon", and above the line, the earth shattered and the building was gone.

The "Steam Archon" did not back down, and collided with "Rahu".

Rahu has four arms, two of which parry the arms of the "Steam Archon", and the other two arms frantically pound the "Steam Archon".

Not to be outdone, the "Steam Archon" lit up his eyes, and two fiery rays of Yang Yan directly shot at "Rahu" in the face, and "Rahu's" face was completely submerged by the Yang Yan rays.

Rahu immediately clasped the head of the Steam Archon with his extra hands, forcing him to look up at the sky, and the rays of sunlight from his eyes shot into the sky.

Immediately, the two behemoths were devoid of any beauty

Scuffling together, like a country man fighting, hugging each other, rolling on the ground, the earth roaring, dust everywhere, I don't know how many buildings were crushed.

The twelve "Steam Power Cores" of the "Steam Archon" ran wildly, spitting out billowing steam, giving birth to majestic power, violently pushing away the "Rahu", retracting his left hand into it, turning his wrist into a black hole, and then countless points of light converged, turning into a lightsaber and slashing directly at the head of the "Rahu".

Rahu avoided the point, and was torn a huge wound in the chest by the sword, and the corpse qi poured out from it, and at the same time, all four arms came out, and with the great physical strength, a large piece of metal was torn from the body of the "Steam Archon".

The Iron Giant, of course, did not bleed, and billowing steam erupted from the wound.

The corpse gas and the vapor seemed to be two incompatible things, and there was a violent conflict, constantly fighting and eliminating each other.

The "Steam Archon" raised his lightsaber and stabbed at "Rahu", but "Rahu" held his wrists with both hands and could not move any further, and at the same time, "Rahu's" dragon tail slammed the lower half of the "Steam Archon", tripping him over.

The two sides rolled together again, biting and wrestling like beasts, not only without beauty, but also without much skill, but the terrifying power of both eclipsed all the subtlety, and each roll, like an earthquake, flattened everything.

The condition of the two is also tragic, "Rahu" is covered in blood, the flesh and blood are blurred, and even one of his arms has been cut off, and the corpse is full of anger. The "Steam Archon" was opened by "Rahu", revealing that it was already reddened and overloaded

The "Steam Power Core".

……

"It's a pity I didn't bring the other Praetorian Guard series." The general in charge of the Steam Legion series was a little annoyed.

There are a total of four models in the "Steam Praetorian Guard" series, of which the fourth type "Steam Archon" is the rarest, with only one. Type 3, also known as the "Steam Patriarch", has three. There is no limit to the number of Type 2 "Steam Generals" and Type 1 "Steam Soldiers", and the latter two are the basis for the formation of the Steam Legion.

If you have the "Steam Archon" and cooperate with the three "Steam Elders" and several "Steam Generals" and "Steam Soldiers", you can activate a special contract named "Praetorian Succession Law" to temporarily "Steam Archon".

Promoted to "Steam Emperor".

This is quite similar to the integration of the three yin objects of the Daomen, which are all about improving quality through quantity.

The Holy Court attacked this time, because of logistical and other reasons, it did not carry all the steam legions, and there was also a "steam elder" who was damaged by Qi Xuansu and was being repaired, at this time only the "Steam Archon" and some "Steam Generals" and "Steam Soldiers" could not launch the "Praetorian Guard Succession Law" to be promoted to the "Steam Emperor".

That's why the general in charge of the Steam Legion is so annoyed, if the "Praetorian Succession Law" can be activated normally and the "Steam Emperor" can be summoned, then the "Steam Emperor" can sweep everything before the "Bo Xun" is completed in the West Gate.

At this time, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and no one could help anyone, only to see corpse gas and steam mixed together, all kinds of flames, beams, and electric currents flew wildly, the earth shook, and even cracked, and the dust was filled, as if it was the end of the world.

Even Robert could not clearly observe all the details of the battlefield.

He had to open one of his prosthetic eyes, called "The Eye of Truth", which was not a masterpiece of alchemy or steam gospel, but a means of traditional magic of the Holy Court, carved from a pure gemstone, and then blessed, which could pierce through all kinds of falsehoods and see the truth, so it was named "The Eye of Truth".

Then Robert's face was a little solemn.

He suddenly realized a situation, if the battle is fair, then it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose between the "Steam Archon" and "Rahu", but at this time on the battlefield, a large number of casualties have created a large amount of corpse qi, "Rahu" is swallowing these corpse qi and recovering itself, the wound stabbed by the lightsaber has healed to the point of seventy-seven eighty-eight, and even the broken arm has signs of regeneration. However, this is not the source of the motivation of the "Steam Archon", and if the battle continues for a long time, I am afraid that the "Steam Archon" will gradually fall behind.

Gong Fu has long said that the Steam Legion of the Holy Court is of course very powerful, if there is no geographical advantage, it is difficult to fight head-on, but the Steam Legion has a big problem, that is, the requirements for logistics are extremely high, once it cannot be quickly resolved and falls into the predicament of a long war, all kinds of shortcomings of the Steam Legion will be exposed.

Once the "Steam Archon" is defeated, the frontal battlefield will be one-sided, and this major attack will be considered a failure.

Failure to capture Moncloix would mean a complete defeat for the Holy See.

It's what you're afraid of.

"Rahu" suddenly put his hand into the "Steam Archon's" already open chest, grabbed the "Steam Power Core" violently, and then pulled it hard, tearing all kinds of metal pipes, digging out the "Steam Power Core" and holding it in the palm of his hand.

Then "Rahu" hesitated for a moment, and actually swallowed this "steam-powered core" in one gulp.

In an instant, long white air erupted from Rahu's nostrils, ears, and mouth, and his skin was also covered with a layer of red.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help frowning, "What's going on?"

A real person from the Western Daomen replied with a solemn face, "Our 'Rahu's grip is loosening,' Rahu has absorbed a large amount of unprocessed corpse qi, which contains many corpses, remnant souls, and remnants that have not yet dissipated, and these consciousnesses have indirectly led to the awakening of part of Rahu's self-will, which is rebelling against us."

Huang Fu Ji asked, "Why don't the three major yin objects of the Dao Gate have such hidden dangers?"

The real person smiled bitterly, "Because the three major yin objects of the Dao Gate have given birth to a complete consciousness, they are independent consciousness after thinking and deciding to be loyal to the Dao Gate, rather than being controlled by the Dao Gate, there is an essential difference in this. Although there is also a contract prohibition between the Dao Gate and the three Yin Things, this prohibition is mainly the ability to control the three Yin Objects to merge into one, and the three of them do not want to be unified with the three, lose their original independent consciousness, and give birth to a new consciousness, or the three share a shell, so they naturally agree."

The real person paused for a moment, then continued, "As for 'Emperor Shakti, he is actually a shell, without any self-consciousness at all, and needs to be manipulated by someone, so naturally there will be no such hidden danger, which is very similar to the steam man of the Holy Court.' Rahu is right between the 'Emperor Shakti and the three great yin beings, and he has some sanity, but he only has instincts, and cannot really think.'"

Huangfu had a headache.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy the "Steam Archon", but now it seems that if "Rahu" is allowed to destroy the "Steam Archon", or even swallow more "Steam Power Core", it will cause "Rahu" to completely lose control, which is more than worth the loss.

The Emperor hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Strengthen the control of Rahu, give priority to stability, and if necessary, abandon the pursuit of the target."

Almost at the same time, Robert also began to give orders "This attack has failed, prepare to evacuate, and prioritize the safe retreat of the 'Steam Praetorian Guard Type IV.'"
