Chapter 187: One Man Guards the Pass
"What is that...?"
The armor landed on the ground, making quite a noise.
The mechanics who had not walked far before also turned back when they heard the noise.
The more professional you look at this six-armed mecha, the more you will understand the level of its technical content.
When they saw the octopus-like mechanical arm behind old man Tust, which was as flexible as an arm, they guessed that the skills of this plain-looking old man were probably far beyond their imagination.
Grandmaster Pierre's eyes froze, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and he murmured, "Eight-cylinder miniature steam boiler? How is possible..."
The most advanced single-soldier mechanical boiler of the Omar Empire military only has four cylinders. Six cylinders are still only in the laboratory stage... The armor in front of me actually has eight cylinders?
Professionals don't have to doubt the number of exhaust pipes they see, because unless the armor is made of paper, even the six-cylinder boiler in the Royal Academy of Sciences laboratory cannot drive such a huge machine!
The mechanics had no other expressions except shock.
…
The golden antler helmet slowly opened, and old man Tust looked at Ryan and sighed, "Ryan boy, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble by making such a fuss."
He said, apologetically, "I thought that after thirty years, I should have let go of everything. But when I saw those guys defending Brendan, I still couldn't hold back my temper..."
The most important reason for agreeing to come this time, besides wanting to see this "mechanical airship", was to help Ryan.
After thirty years of suffering, he had experienced all the ups and downs in the world, and he had no intention of proving anything in front of others. So when the old man was despised before, he had no intention of arguing with others. But when he talked about the enemy who caused his family to be destroyed, it touched the demon in his heart, and the resentment finally burst out.
But he also felt that by doing so, it might affect the friendship between Ryan and the eldest princess, which made the old man feel guilty.
Ryan shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa Tust, just go for it. No matter what happens, I will support you."
"good!"
Hearing this, Tust laughed. He naturally knew that Ryan could understand him.
But the old man feels bad if I always cause trouble to others and don't help.
Although he was not allowed to participate in the manufacturing of the Mechanical City during this period, he was not idle.
As for the "secret dismantling of the steam ball" mentioned earlier? Of course it was for research.
"It just so happens that this old man also wants to show you how magical this treasure you found is..."
When Tust talked about machinery, his eyes sparkled instantly, and he said excitedly, "In order to understand the function of those 'steam balls', I just tried this armor. I found that the pressure that this steam ball can withstand is roughly the same as the main power boiler of the 'Ghoul-level' mechanical city... Tsk tsk, only such a strong power can push the mechanical city into the sky!"
When Ryan heard this, he instinctively exclaimed, "So powerful?"
He looked at the black iron lump about half a meter in diameter and showed disbelief.
The power provided by such an iron ball is actually comparable to that of a "ghoul-level steam boiler" with a volume of hundreds of cubic meters? !
"Yes! Don't be fooled by the plain appearance of the iron ball. The super-level technology contained in it is simply incomparable to our current pressure-bearing device..."
Mr. Tuster didn't explain much. The eight robotic arms quickly climbed up to the operating cabin, and then with a crisp "click" sound, they were tightly fastened into the operating machine slot. He said, "I'll show you how powerful it is!"
The six-armed mecha boiler started up, and then made a squatting movement to accumulate power.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound of pressure explosion.
Then, a shocking scene appeared!
Ryan only felt a strong wind in front of his eyes, and a burst of super-pressure true energy that chilled him to the bone made his body unstable.
In the blink of an eye, the six-armed armor in front of him had disappeared!
Hmm…
"In heaven!"
Ryan looked at the dent in the ground, his pupils shrank suddenly, then he looked up and saw that the six-armed armor really leaped up and directly jumped over the dozens of meters high city wall and flew out!
"Fuck, so awesome?!"
Ryan couldn't help but curse in his heart.
He was one of the few people in the world who had seen this "Big Muscular Deer God Armor". The scene in the "Plague Base" where the old man manipulated this armor to kill all around in the beast tide was still fresh in his memory.
But...the armor at that time wasn't so powerful.
Even though the old man’s mecha had eight-cylinder miniature boilers, they were barely enough for the heavy armor to dodge flexibly, and even running seemed a little clumsy.
But now, what do you see?
Leap a thousand meters and soar dozens of meters into the air!
How much power is needed to push such a huge piece of iron?
"Is the steam ball really that strong?"
Ryan was so shocked that he was speechless. Without any delay, he jumped directly onto the city wall, wanting to see how powerful the old man's improved armor was!
…
At night, both monsters and zombies are most active.
At this moment, a large group of zombies came outside the city.
The "Kalatewa Basin" is a paradise for all kinds of dragons and large monsters. The influx of "zombie dragons" makes people feel like they have entered a dinosaur skeleton museum.
Ankylosaurus, Bagadasaurus, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Quetzalcoatlus, Emodontosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Apatosaurus, Poseidonosaurus, Argentinosaurus...
Ryan could name almost all the skeleton dragons. Although they were bigger in size, their appearance was basically the same as in his memory.
Among the dinosaur corpses that were generally several meters to dozens of meters tall, there were several carrion dinosaurs that were hundreds of meters tall.
These huge creatures can easily cross the walls of the Mechanical City. If they are not shot down outside the city, they will cause large-scale damage to the buildings inside the city.
The combat effectiveness of a general monster is not only judged by its rank, but more importantly by its size!
The larger the body size, the stronger the absolute strength will be, the more blood and defense will be, and the stronger the combat effectiveness will be.
This was also the reason why Ryan was worried that establishing a territory in this basin would lead to a catastrophic disaster. Dinosaurs are generally much larger than monsters of the same level!
This is a huge trouble for ordinary mechanical city walls.
…
"Level 1 ultra-long-range artillery! Salvo fire!"
"Second-level artillery, prepare to ignite..."
“…”
There were hundreds of cannons of various calibers on the city walls, and the gunners followed orders and began firing round after round.
Recently, everyone has gotten used to monsters attacking the city at night. Everyone performs their duties and the cooperation becomes more and more tacit.
The gunners on the city walls are almost all well-trained elite members of the Royal Mechanics brought by former Storm General Baron.
It has to be said that artillery is the best weapon to fight against the tide of zombies. One round of artillery fire will leave large pieces of broken bones.
However, the power of artillery is inversely proportional to the firing frequency. The more lethal the artillery is, the longer the firing interval is. For high-level zombies, small-caliber artillery has limited lethality.
Even though the shooting was done in groups, a small number of monsters still broke through the coverage area of the shells and rushed towards the city walls.
However, everyone has dealt with it as usual.
"'Decapitation Squad' and 'Harvest Squad' prepare to leave the city!"
Seeing this scene, no one said much. The high-level extraordinary people under the eldest princess had already put on their armor and were ready to go.
Although there was not much communication, Coleman's warriors not far away also mounted their Warcraft mounts.
As soon as the city gates open, they will rush out of the city and stop those who have escaped the artillery coverage.
And just after this round of artillery fire, everyone suddenly heard a "hissing" sound of steam gushing out.
Those high-level transcendents were even more keenly aware of something, looked up, and immediately froze in place.
As everyone stared in astonishment, a black shadow passed over their heads and landed steadily outside the city gate with a bang.
At this moment, all the mechanic legions brought by Ymir on the city wall were stunned.
…
"What is that?!"
"It looks like a mechanical armor."
"Ah? When did we get this kind of armor?"
"Not ours..."
"It seemed to fly over our heads just now?"
"Although I also thought it was unlikely, my eyes told me that it did fly over here."
“…”
The Royal Mechanics are Omar's most elite mechanical cavalry corps, and the equipment they use is the most advanced in military use!
The mechanical city equipment is also their most proud strength.
But at this moment, everyone was embarrassed to find that the six-armed mecha was not theirs. Moreover, it looked much more technologically advanced than the luxurious mechanical equipment they were wearing!
…
At this moment, Ymir looked at Ryan who jumped onto the city wall and stood beside her, and she obviously understood something.
She suddenly realized that the previous conversation was probably true.
Grandmaster of mechanics?
It's incredible.
Ymir's face showed a hint of strangeness, and she asked, "Doctor Ryan, this is..."
Ryan's eyes sparkled as he introduced: "This is Grandpa Tust's individual combat armor, the 'Big Muscle Deer God'."
After all, a mechanic's job is to use his skills.
Before he could explain further, the first wave of zombies had already rushed to a place not far from the city gate.
The six-armed mecha controlled by Mr. Tust holds a giant shield in one hand and a double-edged giant sword in the other.
However, before he could make a move, the two sixteen-round alchemical had already ejected long arcs of light, like a whip, fiercely lashing at the surging tide of corpses...
And then, nothing happened.
The whip of light swept across the corpses, and wherever it passed, bone powder and blood and flesh flew everywhere. It was not just penetrating injuries, but also range explosion injuries. It directly smashed those "unkillable" zombies into pieces...
Seeing this scene, everyone on the city wall stared blankly.
It's as if time has stopped.
Everyone could clearly hear the "gulp" and "gulp" sounds of swallowing saliva.
The power of this thing... is it still within the realm of a musket?
Although the trajectory was linked into a "whip of light", the sound of the bullets firing still did not escape everyone's ears.
Then, they watched as the wave of bullets turned the tide of zombies in front of them into ashes.
…
Although this was not the first time Ryan had seen the old man's Vulcan cannon, he was also extremely shocked.
At this time, he also acted as a qualified commentator, and he re-introduced what Carl had said to him: "That's the [Sixteen-round Vulcan Cannon], and the bullets are Grandpa Tust's unique alchemical bullets [Phosphorus-rich bullets]..."
The people on the city wall listened in silence, with no other expression except shock.
Da, da, da, da...click!
At this moment, the bullets in the ammunition boxes were emptied and the gunfire stopped abruptly.
At this time, a flexible "Raccoon Mech" ran over and helped the six-armed giant replace the ammunition box.
Ryan introduced: "The one who helps load the ammunition is Mr. Tust's grandson, Carl. He is also a very good mechanic... The mecha he is wearing is called 'Little Raccoon'."
At this time, the city gate had been opened. Behind the six-armed mecha, thousands of Coleman Warcraft Knights and Royal Mechanical Knights rushed out and were also stunned there.
It was this steel monster that stood in front of them and "took away" all their work.
How powerful is this? How could these "city people" who came from the Omar capital not understand it?
Not to mention the six-armed antler mecha that looked like an iron god of war, even the little raccoon mecha in front of them looked much more advanced than the most advanced mecha they had.
After all, the Omar Empire is at the forefront of steam technology. What weird technology on the market didn’t come from there?
But now, they themselves feel like "frogs in a well".
Civilian equipment is actually more advanced than their military equipment?
How is that possible?
…
The tide of zombies in the distance continued to surge towards the city.
After several rounds of artillery fire, the only ones who could rush out of the city gate were those huge monsters whose bodies could withstand the artillery fire.
At this time, the six-armed deer-antler mecha also put away its muskets, and its four idle mechanical arms slowly pulled out the four black long swords on its back.
Then, another burst of white steam gushed out from its back, and the tall steel body rushed forward!
