Chapter 612
Chapter 612 Magical Machines Take the Stage
The portal to Faen was in an underground hall behind the Witch Council. It was under the joint protection of the Sidonthiria Clan and the Pale Witches.
The witches of the various branches had all sent their representatives to Werning as the date of the plane’s opening approached. What surprised people the most was the fact that the Witches of Fate had also sent people to participate in this planar invasion.
It was the first time this had happened since the witch branches had shared their private lesser planes with the others.
Thus, the arrival of the Witches of Fate drew a lot of attention!
While the other witches were driving their heavy chariots on the uneven roads toward Werning City, a massive shadow flew past their heads.
The witches in the rear of the formation lifted their heads in surprise. They were shocked to find an incomparably large flying ship storming toward Werning City with unstoppable momentum, shredding the clouds in their way as if it was a metal fortress floating in the skies.
Several dozen witches rose from Werning at the same moment. They stood off against the flying ship from a distance.
The next second, a hatch opened at the side of the hull. Squads of ferocious and towering metal golems of strange design walked out from within the ship with heavy footsteps. The entire square tremored slightly with their march.
It was a group of exceptionally fierce-looking metal monsters!
The armor on their bodies was at least a dozen centimeter thick and glowed with a ghostly blue sheen. That was an appearance unique to magical metals. They came in various shapes and appearances. With a quick glance, one could approximately split the machines into three categories with.
The first ones were defensive magical machines with incredibly thick and heavy armor. They held a large metal tower shield in one hand and a thick, massive flail in the other. As they walked in neat rows, the dust and debris on the stone slabs of the square were sent flying into the air. Even the stone buildings around the square started to tremble slightly.
The second type of machines was comparatively slender and agile. However, their bodies were covered with all sorts of strange gun barrels of various sizes. For some reason, the apprentice witches could vaguely feel a suffocating killing intent when they looked at these black gun barrels.
The first two types of magical machines took up ninety percent of the army. Three even stranger and even more fearsome magical machines slowly walked out of the ship behind them. These three machines were all enveloped by a forcefield of semi-translucent energy.
The machine in the lead was the first proper magical machine warrior that Greem had created after exhausting a great deal of energy and effort– the Mechanical Pioneer, Second Grade.
It was a new magical machine warrior model that used the miniature magic energy furnace as its power source. Installed on it were the Blitz Apperception System, magic energy guns, gravity interferometers, and energy artillery cannons. Greem didn’t wholly put this mighty magical machine warrior under Gazlowe’s control. Instead, he decided to have the machine fight using the traditional method of the goblins– being operated by a pilot.
However, the magical machines of the past were difficult to control, yet they were still only capable of simple body movements. They could not qualify as proper magical machine warriors. However, the Mechanical Pioneer had been equipped with the Blitz Apperception System. When hidden within, First Grade Goblin Mechanic Tigule didn’t need to use any levers or control panels. He could flawlessly operate this powerful machine using his mental consciousness alone.
The other two magical machine warriors were the improved Goblin Tinker and the Goblin Bomberman.
The magic energy weapons installed on them were not as powerful as those outfitted on the Mechanical Pioneer. Their core energy sources were also miniature space furnaces, rather than the miniaturized magic energy furnace. They were far inferior compared to the Mechanical Pioneer, especially with the addition of the goblin mechanic.
If one were to evaluate these two machines from various aspects, they could barely make the cut as Pseudo-Second Grades.
All who witnessed these one hundred towering metal constructs form up neatly in the square couldn’t help but hold their breath and dilate their pupils.
This…this was a frightening army of steel!
