Mechanical God Emperor

In the middle of the huge manor stood a Warlock tower 3 stories tall, for a total of 60 meters. The Warlock tower was made of steel rock, which were as hard as steel.

Steel rock was one of the commonly used materials to build Warlock towers. It was as hard as steel. After being enchanted by Warlocks, it would possess extraordinary qualities. A brick-sized steel rock cost upwards of 1 gold coin. The 60-meter-tall Warlock tower required millions of gold coins to be spent on steel rocks alone. Coupled with various other materials, the Warlock tower should cost upwards of 10 million gold coins to be built.

Although the construction of a Warlock tower was exceedingly costly, but it had various wonderful uses. A level-1 Warlock, coupled with enough Apprentice Warlocks, could even contend against a level-2 Warlock from within a Warlock tower. Additionally, a Warlock tower could gather elemental particles from its surroundings, which could accelerate the cultivation rate of powerhouses inside the Warlock tower. Furthermore, some formidable Warlocks could still use Warlock towers to manipulate the weather within the scope of the Warlock towers.

Some rogue level-2 Warlocks who didn’t join any major forces didn’t own a Warlock tower. The Black Cottage could own a Warlock tower because it was rooted in the Fernandro Principality and collected a large amount of wealth each year.

A man looking to be 35 or 36 years old wearing a grey Warlock robe with three copper threads on the cuffs was watering a strange flower with the face of a cat in the garden next to the Warlock tower.

The gray Warlock robe meant that the man in his thirties was an Apprentice Warlock, and the three copper threads on the cuffs meant that he was a level-3 Apprentice Warlock. Above the level-3 Apprentice Warlock rank was the official level-1 Warlock rank.

There was an insurmountable chasm between level-3 Apprentice Warlocks and level-1 Warlocks. In the Black Cottage, level-3 Apprentice Warlocks weren’t that rare, yet there was only a single level-1 Warlock, who was the master of the Black Cottage.

“Zoro, today’s water is too bland! I want to drink honey water! Don’t use sugary water to fool me!” The cat-faced flower swayed and made threatening gestures, saying.

Zoro replied with a smile: “There’s no more honey! I’ll buy some more in the afternoon!”

“No, go now! I’m dying of thirst! I’ll die without honey!” The cat-faced flower argued with Zoro.

“Wait a minute, the white raven is back!” Zoro looked up, and then a white raven fell from the sky and landed on his right arm.

“Zoro, the Giant Stone City is in trouble!” When the white raven landed on Zoro’s right arm, it immediately chattered away and relayed Viscount Harley’s message.

Zoro calmly listened until the end, then turned around and went to the Warlock tower.

Zoro went to the third floor of the Warlock tower. He stopped in front of the door of the innermost room and knocked on the door: “Teacher, it’s Zoro.”

“Come in!” A rather aged voice came from the other side of the door.

Zoro pushed the door open.

Inside the room, a white-haired old man dressed in a black robe with a silver thread embroidered on the cuffs was writing something in front of a table.

This black-robed old man was the official level-1 Warlock Bonney, the master of the Black Cottage and the ruler of the Black City. The fates of the 200,000 inhabitants of the Black City were in his grasp.

Bonney said impatiently without looking up: “What’s the matter? Speak up!”

“Teacher! The Black Rock Town was occupied by a Warlock force...” Without leaving anything out, Zoro respectfully reported the information he heard from the white raven.

Bonney spoke impatiently: “Have Rooney, Pocker, and Jaime take a few level-2 Apprentice Warlocks to support the Giant Stone City.”

Rooney, Pocker, and Jaime were level-3 Apprentice Warlocks. Coupled with a few level-2 Apprentice Warlocks, they could defeat a 1,000-strong ordinary army.

“Yes! Teacher!” Zoro answered respectfully, then retreated and carefully closed the door before leaving.

Before long, a cavalry set out to the Giant Stone City from the Black City.

Three days later, the cavalry entered the Giant Stone City.

In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the city master’s mansion to welcome the Apprentice Warlocks of the Black Cottage.

After a night of revel, the Apprentice Warlocks of the Black Cottage rested for a day.

On the third day, a 2,000-strong elite army departed for the Black Rock Town from the Giant Stone City. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

“Is this the army of the Giant Stone City? So many people!” Yang Feng launched four micro reconnaissance satellites to keep an eye on the movements of the Giant Stone City. He got the news as soon as the army of the Giant Stone City set out. Sitting in the newly established command-center in the Black Rock Town, he observed the movements of the army through a big screen.

In addition to the 2,000-strong, elite army, the Giant Stone City still deployed 5,000 auxiliary troops carrying a large amount of supplies. The procession extending for a few kilometers looked very spectacular.

In order to capture the Black Rock Town, to retrieve the strategic ore town in one fell swoop, the Giant Stone City mobilized a lot of siege weapons. Among the 2,000-strong elite army, there were 50 heavy cavalrymen. The 50 heavy cavalrymen could even kill a level-3 Apprentice Warlock.

In the center of the army, next to an officer, stood a dozen young men and women dressed in gray robes with copper threads on the cuffs. They were the Apprentice Warlocks of the Black Cottage.

“Are they Apprentice Warlocks? Let me see what you’re made of!” Yang Feng put on the consciousness transmitting helmet.

In the next moment, in a barracks, a liquid metal robot opened its eyes. Its eyes flashed red, and its body twisted into Zhao Jiang’s likeness.

When he stepped out, Yang Feng saw the barracks filled with level-4 bladed robots, level-4 gunner robots, and level-4 artillery robots.

The densely packed level-4 robots numbered more than 3,000. During this time, the Autumn Leaf Town and the Black Rock Town were transformed into two huge munitions factories. As long as there was enough iron ore, it would be even possible to produce 1,000 level-4 robots per day. This frightening force could easily destroy the Giant Stone City. Were it not for his apprehension of the Warlock group Black Cottage, the backer of the Giant Stone City, Yang Feng would have long since dispatched his forces to attack the Giant Stone City.

“Set out!” Following Yang Feng’s command, the figures of the 3,000 level-4 battle robots flickered, and they followed closely behind him, sweeping towards the army of the Giant Stone City. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Unlike humans, the 3,000 battle robots could reach a movement speed of 150 kilometers per hour, and they could keep this speed so long as they had enough energy. This was the gap between robots and humans.

The road in the surroundings of the Black Rock Town wasn’t smooth, which limited the movement speed of the battle robots. But the bladed robots could still maintain a frightening movement speed of 80 kilometers per hour.

Half an hour later, the 3,000 battle robots led by Yang Feng reached a hillside 40 kilometers to the north of the Black Rock Town, and then lied in ambush.
