Chapter 1061 - The Elementium Magical Machine in Combat
Goblin Plane, City of Machines.
As the majestic capital of steel that had concentrated the most powerful fighting force available throughout the Goblin Plane, the City of Machines had an enviable amount of wealth and a shocking number of magical machines.
Ever since the unique professions of magical mechanics, machinist sorcerers, and machine pilots were founded, anyone who thought something of themselves had come to the City of Machines in hopes of finding a way to get stronger.
The three major financial groups and two main trade unions of the Goblin Plane had even moved their headquarters here to tighten their connection with the World of Adepts. In doing so, the City of Machines became a massive city that combined all the wealth and talent of the Goblin Plane.
There were over a dozen steel refineries and nearly a hundred magical machine factories located on the outskirts of the City of Machines.
If there were sufficient resources and the factories were operated at full capacity, the City of Machines could produce as many as four thousand magical machines in a single day!
Unfortunately, lower-end magical machines consumed too much magic energy while having limited combat prowess. As such, the financial groups, trade unions, and research academy of the City of Machines placed more emphasis on the research and innovation of high-quality combat magical machines.
However, as a direct disciple of Meryl, he received a sizable number of resources from the clan that were far above that of the average adept.
As he started to unleash his elementium magic without restraint, the magical machines were blasted to the ground by wild pillars of lightning descending from the skies. The rebels could only get their hands on a limited amount of magical alloy. As such, the magical machines they had at their command were often not very resistant to magic.
The few stationed adepts and dozen apprentices alone were enough to wipe out most of the magical machines that made it past the elementium magical machine.
However, when second-generations started appearing among these machines, the inner perimeter propped up by Deserra and the others began to falter.
The sharp-eyed Snorlax also spotted Princess Vanessa’s figure among the rebels that were gathering in the distance. Standing beside her were many other influential goblins, including the leader of the Blackwater Magnate, the Chairman of the Musen Merchant Group, and the Chairman of the Risk Investment Company.
They gathered around the princess, pointing here and there at the battlefield as if arguing or debating about something.
“Des, something seems wrong!” Snorlax had a terrifyingly powerful magic-energy ray gun in his hand. He secretly snuck to Deserra’s side and spoke, even as he continued to shoot frost rays to turn the magical machines into blocks of ice, “I know those guys. They might have been able to put together an army behind our backs, but their forces shouldn’t be such an elite army with such terrifying power. I suspect that a third party is involved in their rebellion!”
“You mean,” Deserra paused for a moment, but his eyes quickly lit up, “That big ol’ brain has extended his hands into this affair?”
“Only he can manufacture such a large number of second-generation machines and transport them here to the Goblin Plane without our notice. The other goblin leaders have all been under the clan’s scrutiny. They could not have been capable of such a feat.”
