Grimm's' old friend ', Armes the Thunder Dragon, was waiting at the entrance of the metal fortress.
It was apparent that Armes had concealed his identity on this trip. Not only did he transform into his human form, but he had also donned a thick robe that completely concealed his figure and appearance.
Armes stood alone in front of the towering walls of the metal fortress. He silently looked up at the huge metal object that was more than a hundred meters long appearing in the distant sky and quickly arriving above his head.
The giant airship hovered above the half-mountain, half-metal castle for a moment. Then, with the sound of grinding gears, an entrance suddenly opened up above the metal castle that had been in perfect harmony with the mountain just a moment ago.
Under Armes' astonished gaze, the airship slowly sank into the opening.
From afar, it looked as though the metal monster in the belly of the mountain had swallowed the airship in one gulp. It was a shocking sight to behold.
Since the metal fortress had surpassed the steam power stage, all the energy consumed within it came from the magical furnace. Therefore, there were no huge boilers, steam engines, or huge clouds of water vapor.
Half of the mountain in front of him had been hollowed out by the metal monster, turning it into a half-mountain, half-metal fortress. The half-mountain that Armes was facing had been completely turned into a metal wall. The thickness of the wall was shocking.
More importantly, the metal wall was as clean as new, and there were no entrances or exits. Armes couldn't break in even if he wanted to. It seemed like he had no other way but to smash the wall.
While Armes was deep in thought, a loud and long dragon roar suddenly came from the depths of the Stoneclaw Mountains.
Upon hearing the dragon's roar, Armes, who had remained calm a moment ago, began to panic.
"Welcome to my territory, Lord Armes! Please … "
Grimm was already standing respectfully in front of the metal wall. The metal door behind him slid to the side, revealing a huge entrance that was five meters tall and ten meters wide. On both sides of the door were two rows of tall and mighty metal puppets. There were roughly thirty of them.
Armes looked back. With his excellent eyesight as a dragon, he could clearly see a small black dot that suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon. Although it was still twenty to thirty miles away, Armes could already vaguely sense the surging presence of the fire element.
It was a Fire Dragon …
According to its memories, there was only one Fire Dragon that lived near the Stoneclaw Mountains and the Swamp of Sorrows. That was the powerful Fire Dragon Lady, Feliba, who occupied the Doomsday Castle.
Damn it, that was a powerful Tier 3 Fire Dragon. Moreover, it was tyrannical and extremely belligerent. Who would have thought that these human Sorcerers would provoke such a terrifying fellow as soon as they arrived here … Damn it, damn it, damn it …
Armes cursed inwardly.
For a moment, no one knew if it was cursing the female dragon or Grimm …
Armes didn't bother being polite to Grimm and strode into the strange fortress made entirely of metal. From the looks of it, it didn't seem to want to meet the Fire Dragon Girl in the distance.
As soon as he entered, Armes was stunned by what he saw.
This … how was this a castle! This … was simply a terrifying metal city that occupied a vast area and had perfect functions!
The silver-white metal floor stretched out in front of Armes' eyes. On both sides of the road were metal warehouses and metal buildings that rose from the ground. The crisscrossing metal paths could lead to any corner of the metal city, and the ones walking on them were terrifying Metal Magical Machines with heavy footsteps and dense auras.
There were as many as twenty security magic machines at the transportation hubs. Judging from their appearance and shape, they seemed to be divided into different types of magic machines. Some of the magic machines looked like eight-clawed spiders. Their disc-shaped metal bodies were densely packed with strange compound eyes that looked like beehives.
They stood on both sides of the road and scanned every magic machine that passed by. Their compound eyes flashed with strange spectral rays. It seemed like there was more than one way to detect something.
Apart from the fixed sentries, there were also metal eyeballs the size of a human head hovering above the metal city. They didn't have wings, but they could fly freely in the sky by relying on a few jets that emitted a faint blue light.
From time to time, they would suddenly hover above a building or a magical machine, projecting a wide and illusory green belt of light from their mechanical bellies. The metal that was swept by the bands of light would instantly turn transparent, revealing the contents and structure of the metal to the eyeballs.
Although the city was huge and bustling with activity, and filled with gigantic metal magical machines, there was strangely not much noise or ear-piercing noises. The construction machines walking on it were either carrying huge metal boxes or large piles of metal ingots or some kind of rare materials …
Armes looked around and couldn't find a single one among the hundreds of magic machines and construction machines. They seemed to be busy all the time, never knowing fatigue.
Armes could also sense a powerful spiritual power emanating from them.
Indeed, ever since he stepped into the metal city, Armes could clearly sense that every piece of metal and metal here was permeated with an indescribable mental force. It was as if they were being controlled and ruled by a powerful mind and will …
It was that strange, grade-3 brain monster!
There was no need for further explanation. Armes, who had participated in the entire battle at the Goblin Plane, immediately thought of that strange lifeform. That guy's physical combat ability was almost zero, but in terms of magical energy and mental ability control, he was clearly far stronger than he was.
Who would have thought that it had also survived that big explosion …
Just as Armes was regretting that he didn't get rid of the root of the problem the last time, a loud rumble came from the thick metal wall behind him, followed by a piercing siren.
It seemed that the irascible Fire Dragon Lady was here to 'attack' the city!
As soon as the siren sounded, the originally peaceful metal city suddenly changed.
The engineering robots that were moving along the metal path in an orderly manner moved to the sides of the path. Meanwhile, a few huge warehouses and fortresses near the metal walls opened up abruptly, and groups of Battle Magical Machines and gigantic and exaggerated Goblin War Chariots ran out from within.
The combat machines and chariots quickly gathered near the metal walls and formed battle formations, quietly waiting for news.
The metal walls were receiving more and more frequent attacks.
* Thud thud thud … *
Dull sounds echoed above the metal city. Rocks and rocks began to fall from the sky, but they didn't cause too much damage to the metal city. Inside the metal walls, about a hundred meters above the ground, there were strange metal buildings.
When the metal walls were attacked, countless small cannons silently opened up on the metal walls. The metal buildings moved forward and extended their pitch-black cannons. When the metal wall was attacked, countless small cannons silently opened up on the metal wall. The metal building moved forward, and the black cannons extended out.
Immediately after, a massive amount of magical energy was transmitted from the underground of the metal city. The magical energy flowed along the walls of the metal structure and quickly extended toward the strange metal building. As the magical energy gathered grew larger and larger, the Magic Energy Cannons trembled soundlessly and shot out frighteningly powerful energy beams.
Armes didn't know the situation outside.
However, as the magic cannons continued to fire, the attacks on the metal walls stopped abruptly. It seemed that the enemies outside had no time to attack the metal walls and were busy defending against the terrifying energy attacks.
The short battle only lasted for a quarter of an hour before it ended.
A few moments later, dozens of metal gates of various sizes opened. Squads of combat machines and construction machines swarmed out and launched their final assault on the remaining enemies in the distance.
Soon, teams of construction machines lifted, carried, and carried Drakonids with broken limbs and mangled flesh back to the city, before locking them in special cells and prisons one after another.
Even though Armes didn't care about the strength of the magic machines, he watched everything with a pale face.
This was Lance Plane, the backyard of the low- and mid-tier Dragon Overlords!
However, when Armes saw the scene before him, his heart trembled and he was terrified.
Once upon a time, the Dragons were the masters behind the scenes, and the Draconians were the undisputed rulers of this place.
But now, just like how the Draconians slaughtered the native tribes, the metal city was also slaughtering the Draconians with a clear plan and a clear target.
The hunters in the past had become the prey of someone else!
Armes found it hard to adapt to such a reversal of the situation.
Just as Armes was silently mourning for the Draconians outside, a short, mournful dragon roar sounded from within the metal city.
Armes turned around and saw a large group of metal puppets working together on a tall metal platform to move a white dragon covered in translucent white scales down from the floating warship.
It was the dragon that had suddenly woken up and let out a short roar.
Ice Dragon Alentini!
Armes didn't even need to take a closer look. He could tell who it was just by looking at its sparkling and beautiful ice scales.
In the Lance Realm, this Grade 2 Ice Dragon Alentini was a rare beauty.
Unfortunately, looking at the situation, she seemed to have fallen into the hands of the group of sorcerers.
