Mechanical God Emperor

Finally, six Apprentice Warlocks dressed in gray robes appeared atop the city wall. These six were rogue Apprentice Warlocks whom Viscount Harley went to great lengths to recruit.

In the Turandot Subcontinent, Warlocks grasped great power and wealth. Official Warlocks would be recruited by some powerful Warlock groups. Very few aristocrats could recruit official Warlocks. Only greater aristocrats of powerful empires may be able to recruit an official Warlock.

“Grease!” An Apprentice Warlock pointed at a bladed robot and cast a level-0 spell.

The bladed robot slipped and tumbled to the ground.

Several heavy crossbows locked onto the bladed robot. In a flash, three frightening crossbow bolts shot at the bladed robot and blasted it into numerous metallic fragments.

“Arcane Projectiles!” Another Apprentice Warlock pointed at a bladed robot, and Arcane Projectiles shot at it alike bullets.

Arcane Projectiles blasted into the chest of the bladed robot and hurled it several steps back. Its chest sank in a little.

But the bladed robot just swayed, and then continued to rush forward, unaffected.

The level-0 spell Arcane Projectiles, which could inflict heavy damage on a Knight rank powerhouse, didn’t do much damage to the bladed robot. Instead, a strike from a Knight rank powerhouse was a bigger threat to a bladed robot.

“Acid Rain!” An Apprentice Warlock pointed at a bladed robot, and sprayed it with acid.

Like having a basin of concentrated sulfuric acid poured on it, the bladed robot emitted white mist, and potholes were corroded onto the surface of its body. If sprayed by the acid, an ordinary human would have their upper body corroded, and would be rendered incapacitated, suffering great pain. However, the bladed robot showed no reaction, and still continued to charge.

“Acid Rain!” “Acid Rain!” “Acid Rain!” 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

The head of the bladed robot was completely corroded after being sprayed four times by Acid Rain, and it powerlessly fell to the ground.

The six Apprentice Warlocks were to few in numbers. Although they managed to jointly knock down seven bladed robots, yet the bladed robots still charged until the bottom of the city wall.

When a bladed robot arrived at the bottom of the city wall, it put its alloy battle blades on its back and lifted its hands high. Then another bladed robot jumped onto its palms, and then also lifted its hands high. The bladed robots repeated this action, and quickly formed six human ladders.

Bladed robots very agilely jumped up the six human ladders, and then jumped towards the city wall.

“Arcane Projectiles!” The six Apprentice Warlocks could only cast this level-0 spell. By relying on the spell’s strong repelling strength, they shot down the bladed robots from midair.

However, the nimbleness of the bladed robots was too abnormal. The first wave of bladed robots was just repelled, when the second wave of bladed robots jumped atop the city wall. Brandishing their alloy battle blades, they ruthlessly slashed at the soldiers atop the city wall of the Giant Stone Castle.

“Go to hell!!” A Knight wearing heavy armor and holding a greatsword roared angrily, then erupted with a powerful life energy, slashed at the head of a bladed robot in a surprise attack from the side, and sent its head flying.

Before the heavy-armored Knight could take a breath, six bladed robots pounced at him, and 12 huge alloy battle blades sliced at him from six directions.

The martial prowess of the Knight was strong, but he only managed to block two alloy battle blades before being sliced to pieces by the remaining alloy battle blades.

Altogether there were 13 Knight rank experts atop the wall, but under the siege of a large number of bladed robots, the 13 Knight rank experts were quickly sliced and diced. Even with the Apprentice Warlocks providing assistance from the back, the Knight rank experts still couldn’t resist the bladed robots, which exchanged death for death.

After the 13 Knight rank experts were killed, the morale of the soldiers atop the city wall collapsed, and they either fled, or knelt and begged for mercy.

Before the six Apprentice Warlocks had time to escape, they were surrounded and sliced to pieced by the bladed robots. Only their heads were left intact.

<Drop your weapons and kneel on the ground, and you’ll be spared!> Yang Feng gave the order, and the bladed robots started shouting loudly as they killed the routed troops.

Most of the soldiers of the Giant Stone Castle were part of Viscount Harley’s private troops, and their fighting strength and loyalty were far higher than those of the average soldiers of the Giant Stone City. Thus, only some chose to surrender, while the rest were killed by the bladed robots.

Viscount Harley was just a Knight rank expert, and was soon killed under the siege of seven bladed robots.

Thus, the Giant Stone Castle also fell into Yang Feng’s hands.

The forces of the four major families of the Giant Stone City took advantage of Yang Feng leading his troops to attack the Giant Stone Castle and left the Giant Stone City. A large number of aristocrats also fled the Giant Stone City along with large amounts of gold, silver, and other valuables.

Yang Feng lost less than 20 bladed troops during the capture of the Giant Stone City.

After occupying the Giant Stone City, he dispatched some bladed robots to attack the ancillary towns of the Giant Stone City.

The ancillary towns were easily captured by his mechanical legion, and their lords were uprooted. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

A lot of land fell into his hands, and large numbers of engineering robots were dispatched to the towns to build solar umbrellas and munitions factories.

After he seized the Giant Stone City and its ancillaries, the territory under Yang Feng’s control became 100 times bigger. The surroundings of the Giant Stone City were rich in mineral resources. So long as the basic facilities were built, then the number of battle robots he could build per day would increase by 50 times.

Additionally, with the construction of a large number of solar umbrellas, he no longer lacked in energy. He could gradually phase out the level-4 battle robots and produce a large number of level-6 and level-7 battle robots.

Level-6 and level-7 battle robots were the strongest battle robots he could mass produced at the moment. Previously, he chose to produce a large number of level-4 battle robots because he had enough steel but lacked energy. After taking hold of the Giant Stone City, his situation reversed – he had enough energy, but lacked steel.

The day after capturing the Giant Stone City, Yang Feng led the fully charged mechanical legion towards the Black Cottage.

Judging by the information uncovered from Viscount Harley’s head, the master of the Black Cottage was an old freak who lived had over a century, and had exceedingly vast connections. The Black Cottage Warlock group not only was on good terms with the Warlock group backing the Fernandro Principality, but it still had close ties with many other Warlock groups.

Once the Black Cottage mobilized its full power and asked for help, the enemy Yang Feng would have to face wouldn’t be just the Black Cottage Warlock group.

The capture of the Giant Stone City came as no surprise to him. His true enemy was the Black Cottage.
