Chapter 1125: The Twilight Guard
The roar of mechanical spiders came from behind them, the bullets of the heavy revolver machine guns tore through the air, and the shrill whistle swept past them, the alarms that resounded throughout the city still did not stop, and the shrill whistles continued to sound from all directions, and more and more Twilight Guards were pouring out of their cantonments, trying to intercept the dangerous group that was hurtling towards the big lift.
However, the person they were about to intercept had already passed through the largest blockade line, and the air columns around the large elevator were becoming more and more clear before their eyes.
Hao Ren rode on the bridge of Lily's nose in high spirits, he glanced back, and found that the steam robots of the six branches of steam did not catch up, and those huge mechanical spiders seemed to be only good at attacking and defending, not good at chasing, so he reached out and rubbed a handful of hair between Lily's head: "Well done." ”
Lily's eyes widened into cross-eyed, and she nodded happily: "Woo-"
almost didn't throw Hao Ren out on the spot.
"This has to do with me...... ...... what was planned," Wendell was still engulfed by a swarm of bats, and flew dizzily in the air, shouting intermittently as he flew, "It's not the same! ”
"It's called PlanB!" Vivien spread a pair of bat wings and flew in the air, saying loudly as she flew, "Your ancient saint is hidden in the depths of the city, surrounded by intricate guards, and the power of the Light Seekers is completely ******** in the entire system, so you still expect to send us to the Iron Throne safely?" ”
Elizabeth carried a huge mechanical leg that was two meters longer than her, and ran after Lily: "I like PlanB!" ”
In the face of this group of super creatures who are completely out of common sense and incredibly powerful, Wendell finally said nothing. Moreover...... Begin to calm down a bit, and wonder if it was a mistake for me to bring this group into the Twilight City.
Perhaps it was the long journey in the dark that caused me to weaken my spirit. Or maybe it's the joy of suddenly finding the "tinder" that dilutes the vigilance that the seeker should have, or maybe it's really the sluggishness caused by age. Wendell realized that he had no idea about the group of people in front of him: he only knew their names, that they were from outside the Twilight City, that they were "the remnants of the night", but he knew nothing about the true purpose and character of the group.
And now, this group of powerful and mysterious strangers has arrived in the Twilight Capital, and soon has shown incredible strength, and the six branches of steam that were once used to defend against extraterritorial monsters are no match for these people. They are now on their way to the Iron Throne of the Old Sage...... Is that really okay?
After calming down from the initial excitement and euphoria, Wendell only felt a cold sweat slowly break out of his forehead.
Just when these thoughts were popping up more and more irrepressibly, a voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Bring them here." ”
Wendell woke up instantly. He looked around in horror: "Who?!" ”
"Bring them here," the voice said without explaining anything, but repeating it again, indifferently but with a majesty and inevitability that could not be denied, "they are the ones I have been waiting for. ”
Wendell's mind went blank for half a minute, until another shrill whistle came from afar that woke him up, and the old man almost exclaimed, but he quickly shut his mouth and tried to respond in his mind: "Ancient Sage?!" ”
A moment later. The expression on the old man's face finally calmed down, and with a certain joy, he looked up to see a black steel tower gradually enlarging in front of him. So he reminded loudly: "It's here!" The big lift ahead! ”
At the very top of the Twilight City, several of the grandest buildings are leaning close together, and the platforms and steel beams that extend from the buildings overlap and connect. The formation is a grand steel square, with heavy and huge gears and bearings turning on a mechanical table at the edge of the square. The large pipes that surround the square constantly leak puffs of vapor that are not completely condensed, and several black steel towers are the most striking buildings in the square. The steel towers are inlaid with gleaming runes of runes, and the red light from the laser lights constantly sweeps across the platform from the top of the towers.
This is where the big lift is.
The Twilight City Guards, who had been urgently summoned, were already on the platform.
Hundreds of Vapor Council guards in steel armor formed a human wall side by side, their armor was unusually thick, each of them was more than two meters tall, the heavy black armor could see the valves and pipes full of the city's characteristics, the dark red pressure gauge on the chest surged with the power of divine steam, they were armed with heavy muskets, acting as the first line of defense on the platform.
Behind the council guards were several semi-stationary heavy guns hastily erected, as well as some mobile guns crouching on the ground. The mechanical legs of the moving guns clinged to the joints reserved on the large elevator platform, and between the two barrels of each cannon was a creepy-looking, almost realistic mechanical eyeball that spun around at a rapid pace.
Behind this second line of defense is the final third line of defense: more than a dozen spellcasters floating in mid-air.
Hao Ren was surprised to see more than a dozen magicians here—perhaps they should be called wizards. Those in short black robes floated in mid-air more than two meters above the ground, their hair dancing without wind, their faces were serious and cold, and their bodies were extremely thin due to years of exposure to forbidden powers, as if they were about to turn into dried corpses. Each caster is surrounded by several arcane orbs, and although they are not at the same level as the orbs next to Anthony, they are enough to prove that they are real battle mages.
There are even mage troops in the Twilight City, and Hao Ren can't help but be amazed by the strange painting style of this post-apocalyptic city.
"That's the wizards," Wendell's voice suddenly came from the side, "they are scholars with ancient forbidden bloodlines, experts in the use of runes of runes, be careful of their powers: the absolute power of these wizards may be weaker than the behemoths of the six branches of steam, but their abilities are very unpredictable, and they are dangerous to underestimate." ”
Hao Ren sighed, turned his head to look at Wendell, and was immediately surprised: he found that the old man had a mysterious smile on his face for some reason, and he looked like he was proud but trying to remain reserved.
"What did you think of?" Nangong Sanba on the side also noticed this and asked casually.
"Today is a day full of glory," Wendell replied with a donkey's lips not a horse's mouth, "the Old Sages are guiding our destiny. ”
Everyone felt inexplicable, and at this time, the twilight guards in front of the elevator were already like enemies.
Most of them were hastily summoned in a state of confusion, and ordinary soldiers had no idea what was going on in the city, and they had no idea what the enemy was to face. They had heard that the Steam Six had already set out to form the first line of defense, so many thought that things would be foolproof: the iron walls of the Steam Six had always been impregnable in the minds of ordinary soldiers, and they had no idea that the enemy would appear in front of them so soon!
Steam Six didn't even manage to delay the group for more than ten minutes—much to the horror of the hastily assembled Twilight guards.
What shocked them even more was that the group of enemies in front of them had a terrifying appearance as if they had come from a mythological era: a white wolf (dog) huge enough to devour everything, a vicious giant taller than some soldiers in steam armor, a woman with demonic batwing wings flying in the air, and a strange creature that was half human and half snake!
The wizards floating in the air obviously thought more than the ordinary soldiers on the ground, they had been studying those fragmented ancient history for many years, so at this time, they all matched the knowledge in their minds with the scene in front of them, and an old wizard with runes inlaid with runes on his forehead pointed to the silver-white giant wolf (dog) with a slight horror: "The name of the ancestor! That's probably a descendant of Fenrir! ”
"I'm afraid that serpent-like woman is a descendant of Jörmungad!"
"That fierce man must be from the land of giants - though he is shorter than giants, he is as ugly as giants!"
After some self-reflection, the same thought swelled in the minds of all the wizards: these people in front of them seemed to be almost all descendants of the evil things of the ancients in myths and legends, could it be that the end of the Twilight City had finally come? Are these vicious enemies here to complete the unfinished Ragnarok 2,000 years ago?
The nervousness and fear of the wizards seemed to infect the guards on the ground, and with a shake of the soldier's hand, the heavy musket roared and spat out a long tongue of fire, and the sound of the gun directly detonated all the fire on the defensive line.
Guns roared, barrage struck. (To be continued.) )
