mechanical court

The Menesian Empire, south of Barkal, on the top of the mountains.

Whoosh-!

Several strategic bionic mechs exuding distorted waves and with buffer light shields activated flashed past the dark sky, forming a natural herringbone formation, with red flames ejected uniformly from behind.

The red heavy mecha headed by it has its arms close to its waist, two cylindrical accumulator cannons erected behind it, and an orange-yellow rhombic crystal inlaid on its forehead, which looks mysterious and powerful.Its right arm is a thick three-claw arm, and its right arm is made up of two slightly slender arms.The waist is slightly slender, but the kite-shaped armor on the chest is extremely heavy, and there is a heavy machine gun hidden under the ribs and the connection bracket of the mechanical arm.

The rest of the mechas had their arms folded across their chests, and behind them were long, spiked tails like scorpion tails. They were all Scorpio battle mechas.At this time, the cockpits of these mechs have been replaced by mainframes, and have been activated by the power of light and darkness.Strictly speaking, it is no longer a mech, but a mechanical life unique to Hyperion.

Their full flight opened up a vacuum corridor in the atmosphere, and layers of ring-shaped sonic boom clouds formed behind them. In an instant, the main city of Barkal completely disappeared in the distance of the horizon.

These were originally the battle mechas of the Hyperion Development Consortium, but due to light energy radiation, the machine body broke down and has not been repaired.Since the empire currently lacks high-end combat power, Ivan spent a long time activating them all and got a mech squad loyal to him.

……

Half an hour later, the mech battle group stopped above a canyon and formed a circle outwards to form a defensive formation.On the shoulders of the leading crimson storm, Ivan leaned over to look at the ground, carefully observed the terrain near the canyon, and then subconsciously closed his head gently:

"The terrain is similar to what the intelligence said. The secret key of the Holy Palace should be at the bottom of the water pool in the canyon."

"Master Yiwen, according to my radar detection, there is indeed a water pool at the bottom of this canyon, and it's bottomless." The crimson storm floated in the sky, and said with a metal trill that is unique to mechanical life.

"Well, you stay here, I'll go down and have a look."

"Obey." Crimson Storm immediately raised its head, changing the radar from detection mode to detection mode. The light in the orange prism-shaped one-eye was restrained and turned into a hazy and soft light that scattered in all directions.

Ivan jumped from its shoulders, turning into a pale white dotted line and falling straight down. Although the speed was faster than the speed of sound, no sound leaked out, showing strong and precise control.

Puff-!

After falling into the water, Ivan did not dive immediately, but raised his head to look around the pool.

This canyon is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the cliffs are like sharp swords soaring into the sky. Under the encirclement, a small valley is formed, with large areas of vines and vines all over the rocks.Covering a limited portion of the sky, if the sun is not covered by darkness at this moment, those few lines of golden light penetrating down from the top of the canyon, reflecting the water should look like an outdoor peach garden.

The air-conditioning in the pool water was dense, and there were bursts of white mist. From a distance, one thought it was a clear hot spring.

"If there is a chance, we must develop this ghostly place into a scenic spot." Thinking of this, Yiwen directly dived into the water, sank at the speed of a bullet, and dived to the bottom of a pool of more than 1000 meters in one breath.

Then he radiated his mental power, and began to search for the secret key of the holy palace that might exist at the bottom of the pool, centering on his body.

……

After about 15 minutes.

In the center of the pool, ripples first appeared, and the water surface was bubbling calmly, then the cold mist climbed upwards like water vapor, and the turbulent eddies moved towards the four directions.In the end, water splashed half a person's height, and the falling water droplets wet the surrounding ground, and Ivan surfaced safely.The figure rose from the ground in an instant, turned into an afterimage and rushed to the sky, passing through the canyon while breathing--there was a sudden turning point in the process of rising, and reappeared on the shoulder of the crimson storm without a sound.

"Master Yiwen, is it over yet?" Crimson Storm asked in confusion.

"It's false information. There's nothing under the pool... Take a look around." Ivan sighed rather depressed.

"Yes!"

The crimson storm immediately switched to the floating mode, and at the same time lowered its altitude, carrying Ivan slowly across the mountains.During this process, its orange-yellow single eye shot beams of light from time to time, sweeping across the dark mountains.

"These people who spread false information and are ignorant are really hateful, and they must be severely punished! Otherwise, I will die of exhaustion!" Sitting on the shoulder of the mech, he used light energy to dry the water stains, while viciously said to himself.

"Yes, it must be severely punished." Crimson Storm echoed naively.

"It's none of your business, continue to investigate."

"Oh..." The latter responded rather aggrieved.

"..." Noticing its emotional performance, Ivan was a little surprised—it seems that these mechanical life forms not only have independent consciousness, but also have relatively rich emotions, and they can actually produce feelings of grievance.

It seems that in the future, you can't just give orders blindly, but also pay attention to their feelings.

"Crimson Storm, and the Scorpios behind, do you usually have any hobbies?" He asked tentatively.

"What's your hobby?" All the mechs responded surprisingly unanimously.

"What do you think will make you happy?"

"I see! We will be happy if we destroy Lord Yiwen's enemies!" Crimson Storm replied without thinking.

"Yes! Lord Crimson Storm is right."

"If Master Yiwen is happy, we will be very happy."

"We will also be happy to accept your compliment."

After being inspired by the crimson storm, the mechas continued to associate at a deeper level, and then answered truthfully.

"So that's it, you are all good." After learning about this situation, Ivan tried to praise them.

"Oh hoo!"

"Oh hoo!"

"Oh hoo!"

The mechas were so excited that they couldn't control themselves, they kept making strange noises, and the mechs were also full of lightning, almost overloaded.Especially Crimson Storm, whose huge body trembled, and almost couldn't maintain his balance so that he fell down.

Chapter 42 The First Seal

Within five days of receiving the task No.80, hundreds of qualified persons arrived one after another, although they were generally those with occupations with semi-abandoned inheritance, or ability persons whose power system did not enter the mainstream.But they basically all have a combat power of level [-] or above, and they have a wide variety of abilities that complement each other. Overall, they are a very powerful combat power.

In order to save their lives, the qualified people almost broke their fortunes and threw themselves into the final battle this time, bringing all kinds of new equipment.A lot of information has been added to Ivan's database, but they are not bad, one set of individual combat mechs per person, and there are free weapon modifications.

According to the order of Ivan's mission NPC, all the five qualified persons of 120 stayed in the space fortress, and received coordinated training with each other, so as to avoid the dispersion of strength and being defeated by the enemy one by one.

During this process, although they complained, they never had the opportunity to make trouble.

That's right, it's because they have no chance to make trouble, not because they don't have the mind to make trouble.

Because there are quite a few pessimists among the qualified ones, they think that this trial must be death without life, so they don't care about their own life or death at all.All I want to do is to have fun before I die, or to blow off some steam.

It's a pity that this group of people has no chance at all, and they don't need to mobilize troops. The mecha army in the space fortress is enough to suppress all internal strife.In addition, they are also more afraid of the mission npc of Yi Wen - after all, he is the runner-up of the King of Fighters Championship, except for the zero number who opened the plug-in, and the instant dragon killing fist is almost invincible.

Today, the empire's defense system has also been integrated, and all 22 provinces have been built as defense bases.In addition to all kinds of heavy firepower weapons, it is also equipped with an energy barrier system, which can completely isolate it from the outside environment at any time, preventing the pervasive invasion of monsters.

Among them, Ekhtadun, the capital of the kingdom, received special attention. Ivan concentrated all the resources he could concentrate, hired a large-scale construction team from the Federation, and put the king's capital, including Jinghu, under the condition that the residents were bewildered. 2000 meters have been dug underground.Then a super-large fortification that could treat a nuclear explosion with an equivalent of tens of millions as a wind was built. The royal city of Akhtadun was also moved underground during this process, and then two layers of defensive barriers were built above the royal city.

In this way, the royal city of Akhtadun is in a safe position on the third underground floor, and the first two floors are the heavily guarded martial law area.The most elite military and industrial-grade heavy weapons are arranged on the ground, and the space fortress and space-based weapons are protected above, coupled with the tall and stable fortifications like dams, it can be said that it has reached the limit.

Once the monsters attack, the empire can quickly deploy troops to carry out three-dimensional strikes with the city of Ekhtadun as the center.
