The Sky Tower is a massive structure made of advanced composite materials, and its height exceeds the most massive thing that an ordinary civilization can build, a vertical height of more than thirty kilometers, which is completely sensational for a building, and even more so if its builder is not a giant but a creature of similar human size.

Of course, the Xiling Empire has built a lot of behemoths, we have built planetary ecological controllers that are several kilometers high, warships that are more than ten kilometers long, heavy aircraft carriers that are tens of hundreds of kilometers long, and even planet fortresses, and even more frantic military extreme products: the Phantom Death Star, these things are exaggerated in size one by one, and even reach the point where it is a little difficult to describe in terms of size: the altitude of the last coronal material jet on the Phantom Death Star was thousands of kilometers. But the single structure we make is never too exaggerated: because it is not necessary, as a planetary surface structure, the height of tens of kilometers is unnecessary and wastes energy, and it is vulnerable to heavy fire.

I don't know why the builders of the Sky Tower built such a huge tower back then, and I don't know what level of civilization they have developed. What surprised me was that when Sandora scanned the Sky Tower, she sensed that there was an energy barrier inside, and its strength was enough to affect some of Sandora's radar, of course, it was quite easy for a Xiling Emperor to break through this barrier, but Sandora was worried that forcible destruction would cause some sensitive equipment in the Sky Tower to activate, so she didn't act rashly for the time being.

"There's an entrance to the bottom of the tower, but it looks like we'll have to get some things done first......" Sandora pointed to the bottom of the tower in the distance, her words interrupted by an explosion close at hand. Bang! "The scorching heat from the explosion even distorted the air in a considerable area, but it was impossible to break through the energy shields around us. Sakina and Sona were protected inside the shield, and their faces changed color at the sight of the hot air twisting around them. And that was just the beginning, and just a second or two later, a deafening explosion covered the space everyone was in.

"Get rid of some of the not-so-friendly guards." Sandora shrugged. Look at the more colossi that are rising from the ground in the distance.

As soon as we got some distance from the Sky Tower, the guard system was activated, and we weren't surprised that Sakina and Sona had told everyone that there were dangerous ancient guards here, but the shapes of the ancient guards were quite impressive to the imagination of their designers: they were colossus statues made of silver-white metal. The average height is about ten meters, and the whole body seems to be covered with metal rings, or itself is made of rings of metal, from head to toe are all parallel ring-like folds, this layer of metal is both their skin and their armor, and there is no other armor and clothing on their bodies, these silver-white metal colossias have no facial features and gender characteristics. There are only stout humanoid structures, and their faces are positioned as a layer of smooth trapezoidal mirrors, reflecting shimmering brilliance in the skylight. As soon as they locked on to us invaders, all of the Colossi launched a ferocious attack - to my surprise, they all used ranged attacks. The hands of the Colossus are some kind of artillery launchers, with the help of that ring-shaped metal structure, their entire palms can instantly shrink and fold into their wrists, leaving a black cannon muzzle with a round hole, and the golden-red high-temperature spheres flying out of it at high speed can produce a large explosion in an instant when it touches the ground, and the speed of this attack is extremely fast. Almost like the machine guns, a barrage of barrage was formed around us in an instant, as for the power of these golden-red spheres......

All right. A group of our leader-level guys are holding joint shields, and Ilson, a professional MT, has opened a deflection aura, who knows how powerful they are, only that there must be something special about this square in Langdao, or that the attacks of those metal colossas can automatically identify friend and foe, in such a massive and indiscriminate bombardment. There wasn't even a crack in the dusty boulder floor around them.

Because the existence of the Sky Tower itself has exceeded our expectations, everyone has also developed a lot of curiosity about the guard system here. When the more than 100 metal colossias rose from the ground, my sister and I held down Pandora and Viska who were on the verge of escaping, and we wanted to see how strong the guard system could be. Sandora activated her backup radar matrix and began measuring the attack capabilities of each metal colossus, her brow furrowed deeply.

"The outer layer of these golden-red balls of light is arcane energy, the core has an unstable mass collapse point, the arcane energy layer is used to generate area kills, and the mass collapse point of the core is obviously to destroy the physical armor, this ammunition structure...... They don't seem to be dealing with normal invaders, and are better suited to attacking things equipped with both shields and heavy armor, such as ...... Ground assault vehicle for interstellar civilizations. ”

Sandora glanced up at the colossus, the sane defenders were still unwavering in their saturation bombardment of the invaders, and changed formation after finding that their firepower had not had the desired effect, the colossi formed teams of three, alternating cover in front and back, and in each team of three there was a slightly more peculiar-looking colossus: the smooth trapezoidal metal plates on their faces were constantly refreshing with complex magical runes, like a display screen, This colossus may be an elite class similar to the squad leader.

I was already a little stunned at this time, and looked at Sandora incredulously: "You say...... I understand the arcane layer, you said that inside these orbs of light is a mass collapse point? Such a high-end thing? ”

How did it sound like I was jumping from Nima's Middle-earth realm to Battlestar in an instant!

"Their attack power is almost equal to that of elite Imperial GIs, and if there are other means of attack, it may even be on par with the grassroots commanders - not counting the Imperial soldiers summoning chrono firepower." Shandora said lightly.

Just as I was startling and about to make sure that Sandora had made a mistake, there was a frantic cry from beside me: "Hey! I say! Now is not the time to discuss issues so calmly! It's being attacked, bombarded by hundreds of ancient colossias! This is enough bombardment for the entire knights to evaporate in an instant! Hurry up and find a way to do something! ”

I turned my head to meet Sakina's grinning frenzied expression, and next to her, Sona was nervously watching the explosion outside the shield. The shockwave from the golden-red orb of arcane energy didn't produce much smoke and dust, so she could see more of the Colossus closing in through the twisted air more clearly, and although Sona remained silent, her tail was flapping rapidly on the ground at a rate of three times per second, Sakina was even worse. She was already coiling her tail in her arms: a subconscious habit when she was severely insecure.

"Woo-at least get rid of the Colossians here?" Sakina's scales all turned blue, and she said with a bitter face.

Shandora shrugged and motioned for me to let Pandora go, and I let go of the little brain melon in my hand, and before the girl rushed out of the curtain, I told him uneasily, "Try to keep one or two whole corpses behind." We'd like to study it. ”

Pandora paused and nodded aggrievedly: according to her idea, she must have wanted to cut those colossi into sections, and the height of each section could not exceed one meter two, but now it seems that this idea can only be put down.

When Pandora and Viska rushed out of the city, they caused a burst of exclamations from the half-dragon girl duo, who probably subconsciously thought that the two short (!) It was too dangerous for the little guy to rush out of the city, but they soon remembered that there were examples like Madiwen and Lynn at the scene, and they were instantly calm—until they saw two dwarf winter melons facing the crowd of colossians. He pulled out two cannons of almost the same caliber as their height. It suddenly occurred to me that it was a huge mistake to let these two little lunatics out: did they really have the concept of keeping whole corpses? Especially when faced with a group of huge humanoid objects that were more than eight times their height. But it was too late to say anything: the roar of a cannon could be heard outside the shield.

The loud blast of the explosion had swept through the venue, with a distorted halo of light and a piercing sound of metal tearing, and the metal colossus was said to be on par with the Empire's elite soldiers or low-ranking commanders, which was already quite a staggering amount of power, but they were unlucky. It was a group of people who could already be classified as out-of-spec, and the mass collapse bombs they dropped could not break through the already messy and indescribable layer of combined shields around us (if you think about it, you can see how complex the composition of this layer of shield is, the four major systems of the Protoss and all the leaders of Xiling are inside to charge the shield), and the layer of arcane energy outside the natural bomb will not play any role, and the giant cannons of Pandora and Viska are specially prepared for the destruction of heavy targets, and the name is the ship gun. The small ships were pierced from head to tail by the cannon of that thing, and the colossus exploded one by one like a swatted fly under the bombardment of this giant cannon, and I noticed one detail: when they were attacked, a layer of crystal clear shields appeared on their bodies instantly. Although this shield was completely ineffective in blocking the shelling, its very existence enhanced the strategic value of the colossus in my mind. Perhaps, while they have the attack power of the Empire's elite soldiers, their defense is not weak at all?

Although these guardians were miscellaneous soldiers in front of Pandora, it was still very interesting to see a group of ancient colossias that could rival the soldiers of the Empire in such a place.

It took less than a minute. The world is quiet, and the speed of those huge colossas is actually not slow. Even as nimble as humans, they were no faster than the Pandora sisters' radars, and all the defenders in the square held out for a total of forty-six seconds, as the two naval guns and a group of floating guns that would later join the battle.

Sagina looked at the potholed square after the smoke cleared (the potholes were all made by Pandora and the others, although the sisters had carefully limited their firepower, but the explosion shock wave that escaped still shattered the nearby boulder slabs, and the attack of those colossas did not hurt the square itself in the slightest, which is really amazing), and finally relieved herself for a long time: "Ah-"

I guess she'd never seen so many explosions appear around her at the same time in her life, and not being weak is already a sign of this girl's strong will. The little crow was frightened along with Sakina, although the bird was definitely not less powerful than this after fluttering on its own, but after all, she had just been full moon for a long time, and she had never seen a big scene, the silly bird looked around, opened her arms and flapped twice, making a "quack" sound. Then he gurgled and slipped into his sister's arms.

"Brother, the whole corpse you want." Pandora snapped and ran over, her little hand raised. Pointing not far away, he said.

When I looked up, I saw that Pandora and Viska had actually left behind a sample of their research: a Colossus was not smashed by them, but was put to the ground, and Viska was carrying a huge cannon and using the gun mount as a hammer. Hammering this hapless colossus with his back to the sky. The Colossus had apparently not stopped running, moving its already slightly deformed limbs to try to get back on its feet, while Viska used its super-fast space jump to flash around nearby, and as soon as a part of the Colossus's body was lifted to a height of more than one meter and two, the girl was immediately smashed down with a cannon. The cat-eyed loli wielding a huge cannon barrel flashed and clanked in the air, smashing with joy, and the air reverberated with the loud sound of metal knocking and Visk's cheerful cheers - this bear child really knows how to play.

And that colossus soldier is also very tenacious, his hands and feet are smashed, but he is still persistently trying to stand up - not as smart as Uncle B, at least Uncle B's first reaction after seeing Sister Pandora is to squat, this thing still wants to stand up!

"Alright, alright. Cancellation meeting. I asked Lilina to fix the colossus firmly on the ground with vines, and then reached out and pressed Visca's little brain, and the cat-eyed Lori jumped up and down under my hands: "Brother, brother, I'll smash it twice, I'll smash it twice!" ”

"If you smash it again, it'll be all flattened." I didn't give her a brain break. The little girl finally quieted down. Sandora crouched down and knocked on the metal statue that was bound but still writhed with rage, and from where she struck there was a hollow echo of metal.

"It's empty inside." One of Sandora's fingers turned into a blue stabbing needle, stabbing the metal colossus in the chest, and then slashed vertically, cutting off the metal ring on the colossus's body. A crack more than a foot long, "a very strong shell, as strong as a starship's armor plates." And there is a charging structure. Inside...... That's it. ”

She tore open the sturdy metal shell with her bare hands, and in the cacorum of the metal tearing, the Colossus's chest was cut open entirely, revealing the cavity within, and no mechanical structures could be seen, let alone flesh and blood and other similar organs. The Colossus was empty, except for a halo of ever-changing colors flowing through the cavity like flowing water. The halo has an almost palpable texture, and it contains an extremely powerful energy response - I feel a little close to the energy response of the raven, of course, but the "mystery" of this energy gives a similar feeling, there is no ghost reaction on the colossus, they seem to be arcane driven.

Even though its body was dissected, the Colossus did not lose its vitality in the slightest, it was still vibrating violently, and the torn crack in its chest was slowly closing: the thing was still very capable of repairing itself.

"Fortunately, it was us, if the Colossus and the same number of Imperial soldiers went to war, it would have been a tough battle just now." After seeing that the colossus still has such a high self-healing ability, Sandora couldn't help but say.

Of course, this repair ability simply can't keep up with the speed of Sandora's dissection, and soon, the Colossus's weapon is also displayed in front of our eyes. Sandora severed one of its arms, slicing the structure that could shrink into its wrist and form the muzzle. What appeared in front of us was a complex array of runes and energy, as well as a circle of crystal structures, but although there was no shortage of knowledgeable people at the scene, the technical content of this thing in front of us was really not low (with such a high combat power, it is not difficult to imagine), no one could see how it was driven.

There's no one on the mysterious side of the empire - and Bingtis doesn't seem to be good at the field in front of him.

Eh, wait, it seems that the mysterious side is not completely unmanned, and I seem to have one with me all the time!

"Alayah, what do you see how this works...... Eh, why is this guy asleep again! I beckoned a certain sleepy insect angel in my spiritual world, but I responded to myself with an even and soft purring, and I concentrated on investigating it, but found that a certain stupid cat was sleeping with Xiao Qijing sleeping in Zhengxiang, I had to increase the intensity of my spiritual call, "Alayah, sleepy insects, lazy cats, hurry up!" You've been sleeping on and off for nearly twenty hours, and you haven't slept enough?! ”

After calling for a long time, Alayya's lazy and soft chirp finally came to his mind, it was not easy to wake up the angel sister from sleep, but he finally woke up, I asked everyone to get out of the way, and the next second the open space between the people condensed the holy light wandering around, and the holy light quickly condensed into shape, turning into a snow-white and holy figure, Alayya, who was wearing a white long dress, fell to the ground lightly with bare feet, and stretched hard: in the process, a wing flew away and passed over I don't know what I wanted to do. Then he opened his eyes and looked around with his golden pupils in confusion.

"Wow! What is it! Sakina finally exclaimed.

I thought about it for a moment and explained, "Do you still remember Xiao Qijing?" This is Xiao Qijing's mother - you just understand it, or it's too complicated to explain. ”

Sona gave me a strange look and whispered, "Do you have a habit of keeping your wife and children in your body?" ”

Me: "...... Let's talk about something lighter. ”

Alaya blinked inexplicably, and her golden eyes finally landed on the metal colossus that was "clanging" and tossing next to her, and then frowned.

As if recalling something, she spat out a word softly and uncertainly: "The Colossus of Gonda?" ”
