Chapter 816 - First Battle
Chapter 816 First Battle
The magical machine army fighting under the banner of the Fate Witches was the fourth group to enter the planar door.
As many goblins in the group were only at apprentice level and below, the Crimson adepts had no choice but to apply magical defenses on them ahead of time. The goblins were also made to drink defensive potions to maximize their chances of survival.
However, twelve goblins were still crushed to pieces by the distorted planar powers during the process of crossing the door.
The sensation of crossing a planar door was a bizarre one. Greem himself felt like it had only been an instant, but the Chip recorded a lengthy seventeen seconds of blank memory. Greem had clearly been in a certain strange state of spatial transition during those seventeen seconds. His mind had not been able to break through the confines of time to allow him to experience the entire process.
Greem had a feeling that he might even be able to affect the teleportation process if he could maintain Spirit activity while under this state of spatial transition.
Unfortunately, Alice’s spatial talent had been completely converted into a talent for fate. Otherwise, he might have been able to learn something from her.
The witches here might not be proficient in the techniques of creating metallic golems, but they did have some degree of understanding as to how it was done. Compared to the more convenient and simple voodoo beasts, the creation and assembly of metal golems were far more tedious and difficult. It also demanded a surprising amount of metallic ores.
Consequently, most witches here did not forge metal golems, simply because they believed that they were not as cost-efficient as their own undead and shadow creatures. Metal golems were pretty decent when placed in a tower and used as stationary guards. However, when bringing them into actual combat, even losing one of them was enough to induce heartache. Repairing these metal golems was a complicated task as well.
After all, they couldn’t possibly bring along the technicians and logistics groups responsible for golem parts every time they brought the golems out for battle, could they?
It was due to such reasons that the witches had given up on using metal golems as a fighting force on expeditions. However, this didn’t mean that metal golems were not powerful!
Metal golems were loyal, powerful, robust, and had surprisingly strong defenses. Even more valuable was their ability never to feel fatigue. As long as there was a sufficient supply of magical crystals, they would become machines of perpetual motion, continually fighting until the moment they came apart.
This magical machine army under the banner of the Fate Witches was almost wholly made up of First Grade metal golems.
Yet, the combat prowess they were displaying was superior to the disorderly voodoo beast army. They appeared to be much easier to use.
The powerful witches also clearly saw the strange metal giant marching at the front of the magical machines. That machine was an even stranger existence. As it walked forward, blue energy beams shot out of its large metal body.
Magical machines hit by this beam immediately became charged with energy. The frequency of their rifle shots and the intensity of their attacks had increased to some extent.
Hmm? That appeared to some sort of strange energy source that could remotely provide energy to the entire magical machine army.
The curious witches couldn’t help but secretly extend their Spirits toward the machine.
Unfortunately, a crystalline forcefield radiated around the machine and blocked the Spirits of the witches.
Eh? That was even stranger. It seemed it was not just an energy source machine, but a metal lifeform as well.
The witches couldn’t help but become even more intrigued!
