The roar of the mechanical spiders came from behind. The bullets of the heavy revolving machine guns tore through the air and whistled past them. The sirens that rang throughout the city did not stop. Sharp sirens continued to ring from all directions. More and more Twilight Guards were pouring out of their garrisons, trying to intercept the dangerous people who were rushing to the lift.
However, the people they were trying to intercept had broken through the biggest blockade. The air column around the lift was getting clearer and clearer in front of them.
Hao Ren rode on Lily's nose in high spirits. He looked back and found that the steam robots of Steam6 had not caught up. Those huge mechanical spiders seemed to be only good at attacking and defending, not chasing. Hao Ren reached out and rubbed a tuft of hair between Lily's forehead. "Well done."
Lily's eyes widened into a cross-eyed look as she nodded her head excitedly. "Woo woo —"
Hao Ren was almost flung out on the spot.
"This is different from my previous plan …" Wendell, still wrapped in a large swarm of bats, flew dizzily in the air and shouted intermittently, "It's not the same!"
"This is called Plan B!" Vivian spread a pair of bat wings and flew in the air. "Your ancient sage is hidden in the depths of the city, surrounded by complex guards, and the power of the Lightseekers has been completely destroyed in the whole system. Do you still expect to send us safely to the Iron Throne?"
Y 'lisabet, carrying a huge mechanical leg that was two meters longer than her, ran behind Lily. "I like Plan B!"
In the face of this group of unconventional and powerful super creatures, Wendell finally said nothing. He began to calm down a little, thinking about whether it was a mistake to bring this group of people into Twilight Capital.
Perhaps the long journey in the dark had weakened his spirit, or the joy of suddenly finding the tinder had diluted the vigilance of the Lightseekers, or perhaps it was really the age that had dulled his senses. Only then did Wendell realize that he did not know anything about this group of people at all. He only knew the name of this group of people, that they came from outside Twilight Capital, and that they were the residual light in the long night. But he knew nothing about the true purpose and character of this group of people.
Now, this group of powerful and mysterious strangers had arrived in Twilight Capital and soon showed incredible power. Steam6, which had been used to resist the alien monsters, was no match for these people. They were now moving toward the Iron Throne of the ancient sage. Was this really okay?
After calming down from the initial excitement and joy, Wendell only felt a cold sweat slowly coming out of his forehead.
Just as these thoughts were getting more and more uncontrollable, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Bring them here."
Wendell woke up in an instant. He looked around in panic. "Who is it?"
"Bring them here," the voice did not explain anything but just repeated it again. The tone was indifferent but with a kind of majesty and inevitability that no one could refuse. "They are the people I am waiting for."
Wendell's mind went blank for half a minute. It was not until another shrill whistle came from afar that he woke up. The old man almost exclaimed, but he quickly shut his mouth and tried to respond in his mind, "Ancient sage?!"
After a while, the expression on the old man's face finally calmed down with some kind of joy. He looked up ahead, just in time to see a black steel tower gradually enlarging in front of him. He shouted, "Here we are! The big lift is in front of us! "
At the top of Twilight Capital, several of the most magnificent buildings gradually tilted together. Platforms and steel beams extended from the buildings overlapped and connected with each other, forming a magnificent steel square. Heavy and huge gears and bearings rotated on the mechanical platform on the edge of the square, and large pipes around the square constantly leaked a stream of steam that had not yet fully condensed. Several black steel towers were the most striking buildings in the square. These steel towers were inlaid with shiny runes, and the red light from the laser lights constantly swept from the top of the tower to the platform.
This was where the big lift was located.
The guards of Twilight Capital, who had been urgently summoned, were already on the platform.
Hundreds of guards of the Steam Assembly in steel armor formed a human wall shoulder to shoulder. Their armor was abnormally heavy, and each of them was more than two meters tall. The valves and pipes that were full of the city's characteristics could be seen on the heavy black armor. The dark red pressure gauge on their chest surged with the sacred power of steam. They were holding heavy flintlocks, serving as the first line of defense on the platform.
Behind the guards of the Steam Assembly were a few semi-fixed heavy cannons that were hastily set up, and some mobile cannons crouching on the ground. The mechanical legs of the mobile cannons were tightly attached to the reserved docks on the platform of the big lift. Between the two barrels of each cannon was a creepy mechanical eyeball that looked almost real.
Behind this second line of defense was the ultimate third line of defense: a dozen spellcasters floating in the air.
Hao Ren was surprised to see a dozen sorcerers here. Perhaps they should be called wizards. Those people in black robes floated in the air more than two meters above the ground. Their beards and hair were waving without wind, and their faces were stern. Years of contact with the taboo power had made their bodies extremely thin, as if they were about to turn into mummies. Every spellcaster was surrounded by several arcane balls. Although they were not at the same level as the magic balls around Anthony Alfonso, it was enough to prove that they were real battle mages.
There were sorcerers in Twilight Capital. Hao Ren could not help but be surprised by the ever-changing and bizarre style of this doomsday city.
"That's the wizards," Wendell's voice suddenly came from the side. "They are scholars with the ancient taboo bloodline, experts in the use of runes. Be careful of their power. The absolute power of these wizards may be weaker than the giant beasts of Steam6, but their ability is very strange and unpredictable. It's dangerous to underestimate them."
"Oh," Hao Ren said and turned to look at Wendell. He was surprised to find that the old man had a mysterious smile on his face, looking proud but trying to maintain a reserved look.
"What good news do you have in mind?" Nangong Sanba also noticed it and asked casually.
"Today is a day full of glory," Wendell's answer was like a donkey's mouth. "The ancient sage is guiding our destiny."
Everyone was puzzled. At this time, the Twilight Guards in front of the lift were already on guard.
Most of them were assembled in a hurry. The ordinary soldiers had no idea what was going on in the city, and they could not imagine what kind of enemy they were facing. They heard that Steam6 had set off to form the first line of defense, so many of them thought that things would be foolproof. The iron wall of Steam6 had always been solid in the eyes of ordinary soldiers. They did not expect the enemy to appear in front of them so soon.
Steam6 did not even succeed in delaying this group of people for more than ten minutes, which shocked the Twilight Guards.
What shocked them even more was that the enemies in front of them had a terrible appearance as if they were from the Mythological Era. There was a huge white wolf (dog) that seemed to be able to devour everything, a ferocious giant that was taller than some soldiers in steam armor, a flying woman with demonic bat wings, and a strange half-human half-snake creature!
The wizards floating in the air obviously had more thoughts than the ordinary soldiers on the ground. They had been studying the fragmented ancient history for many years, so at this time, they matched the knowledge in their minds with the scene in front of them. An old wizard with rune inlaid on his forehead pointed at the silver wolf (dog) with a little horror. "The name of the ancestor! I am afraid that is the descendant of Fenrir! "
"That snake-like woman is probably a descendant of Jörmungandr!"
"That ferocious man must be from the Kingdom of Giants. Although he is shorter than the giants, he is as ugly as the giants!"
After some imagination, all the wizards had the same thought: these people in front of them looked almost like the descendants of the ancient vicious creatures in the myths and legends. Was the end of Twilight Capital finally coming? Were these ferocious enemies here to complete the unfinished Twilight of the Gods two thousand years ago?
The nervousness and fear of the wizards seemed to have infected the guards on the ground. One of the soldiers shook his hand, and a heavy musket roared and spewed a long tongue of flame. This gunshot directly detonated all the firepower on the line of defense.
The guns roared, and the barrage came.
