Chapter 540: Sudden Attack
Kira was confused.
We agreed that everyone would come together to fight monsters, and I even hired the two strongest ones. But a month later, the helpers I invited didn't even cause any trouble. Isn't this too lame? !
"That Silver, could it be that his brain is rusty, or the wiring is wrong? Such behavior is really unworthy of my trust in him!"
The Mechanical Town is worthy of being the place where the mechanical people live. Everything that comes into view, dolls , animals, clothes, weapons, daily necessities, buildings... can be found to be more or less related to machinery.
It is worth mentioning that Kira also saw a means of transportation similar to a bicycle, and suddenly felt out of touch with the world.
The mechanical people hate rainy days because the rain will soak their metal bodies and even enter their bodies to cause damage to their "organs".
Fortunately, it was a sunny day. Kira strolled on the dry and clean streets. He felt the sunlight shining on him was peaceful. Suddenly, a strong smell of motor oil wafted in the air. Kira looked in search of the smell and found that there was a beverage store with a "Motor Oil" sign.
"Using motor oil as a drink... is this so local?"
Looking at the sign in front of him and the mechanical people sitting in the store drinking motor oil like juice with a satisfied smile on their faces, Kira was silent for several seconds, then he complained lightly and continued walking forward.
In any world with a touch of magic, it is inevitable that technological development will be hindered.
This phenomenon is particularly evident in an empire like the Albareth Empire, where almost everyone practices magic and all the imperial soldiers are wizards. It is so obvious that every outsider who sets foot on the territory of the Albareth Empire can feel the difference in lifestyle between the Western Continent and other continents.
These differences are subtle, but cover a wide range and cannot be erased. For example, some chefs use cooking magic instead of seasonings to cook, and use sound magic instead of pens to write, and so on. Similar behaviors are spread throughout the lives of the people, forming a deep-rooted and unique culture of this empire.
This culture cannot be seen or touched, but people living here can feel it clearly.
Interestingly, this obstacle did not cause trouble to the residents of the empire in their lives. On the contrary, precisely because magic was better developed, their lives were more convenient than in many kingdoms of Ishgar. Even a magical kingdom like the Kingdom of Fiore, where magicians accounted for a large proportion of the population, could not compare with it.
During the time he had been in the Western Continent, Kira had clearly realized the per capita magic level of the towns in the Albares Empire. It could be described in one word: hard! If one had to add one more word, it would be high and hard!
But he also recognized its technological level, and could describe it in one word: terrible!
But now, the mechanical town in front of him broke Kira's original view.
The level of technology here is obviously higher than that of other towns in the Albareth Empire. Even if all the countries in Ishgar and Kiltina are counted, there are only a handful that can compare with this one.
"With both strong magic and technology, the overall national strength of the Albares Empire is far stronger than what is shown in the comics!"
This is Kira's current evaluation of the Albares Empire.
Because the wizards from the 730 magic guilds were under the unified management of the empire, the country's magic was effectively spread and practiced, which to some extent was equivalent to the compulsory education that Kira received in his previous life.
The empire established by Jellal has a history of at least a hundred years. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has completely transformed the descendants of ordinary people who had no talent for practicing magic.
Nowadays, the people of the Albares Empire have more or less some talent for practicing magic. Even the vegetable seller you meet on the roadside can use some crude ripening magic to shorten the ripening time of vegetables.
"Fortunately, magic has become more widespread, but technology has not!"
Just as Kira was looking into the distance step by step, several figures walked over from the opposite side of the street.
He has a strong physique, a bad look in his eyes, a fierce look on his face, and a sinister look all over.
"It seems like they are coming towards me? No... That shouldn't be the case! I don't know them!! Let's try to avoid them... Oh? They are coming! They are coming in a different direction!! Is there someone behind me? Sure enough, there is someone! I knew it wasn't them..."
"Hey wait! What's going on? Why do these people behind me look so fierce and ferocious? And they all look exactly the same?"
"Ah, I see! They must have agreed to fight here, but I just happened to be standing between them! Um... let's leave from the side road!"
"Hey, hey, hey... Why didn't they fight? Instead, they joined together and caught up with us? What's going on?"
Kira retreated to the wall by the roadside and watched a group of silver-white standard robots surrounding him.
These robots are nearly two meters tall, with chestnut heads, silver masks on their faces, eight-pack abdominal muscles made of steel on the upper body, and apricot shorts on the lower body, but they are actually made of steel. The gloves cover the elbows, revealing strong biceps. But from the appearance, they are even more imposing than Elfman.
The icy temperature and ruthless eyes are simply chilling.
"A physique like this... those middle-aged ladies who are rich, powerful but unsatisfied will definitely like it!"
The robot soldiers definitely didn’t understand Kira’s complaints. They only received one order - kill this man!
whoosh——!
More than a dozen robot soldiers pounced at the same time, and their movements were so coordinated that only one sound could be heard. If Kira had not seen it with his own eyes and could distinguish the sounds of breaking through the air from all directions, he would have almost thought that there was only one opponent.
BANG!!!
More than a dozen fists smashed down at the same time, creating a big hole where Kira had been. The floor could not bear the weight and several cracks extended along the hole.
"Wow! So strong?!"
Kira's voice came from the sky. In the instant before his fist fell, he pushed off the ground with his feet, jumped into the air at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and used wind magic to stay in the air. At this time, he was looking at the machine soldiers below with interest.
Seeing that the attack missed, the robot soldiers immediately turned around, raised their heads and locked onto the target. One of them also jumped up and rushed towards Kira! !
There was no hindrance or waste in its movements, as if it were a robot implanted with a death command. Its only purpose of existence was to obey orders - fight the person in front of it, and then defeat him, or be defeated by him!
BANG!!!
An extremely terrifying gravity pressed down hard, and the robot that had originally jumped towards Kira was pressed back to the ground again, creating a human-shaped pit on the ground that sank several feet.
The gravity magic created by Kira's powerful magic power continuously crushed the steel body of the mechanical soldier, making a crackling sound of metal breaking. The tiny metal pieces that burst out could not withstand the gravity and were directly crushed into gray-white metal powder, and then sank into the ground without even being able to be blown up by the wind.
In just a moment, the mechanical soldier turned from a sturdy man into a fragmented piece of metal, and then into a pile of fine powder, just like a superhero who got hit by a finger snap, and his death was extremely hasty and miserable. There was not even the sound of electricity from the machine malfunctioning.
This commotion naturally caused a huge commotion , and the mechanical people who were still on the street fled and hid to avoid being involved in the battle.
"what happened?!"
"Is that person the human from before? Why is he fighting with these soldiers? Wait! They seem to be Lord Val's..."
"Never mind, just run!!"
It turns out that Val may be the strongest of the mechanical race, but he is not the leader! It is just like the Transcendent race, the strongest may be Lili, but the leader is Queen Charlotte.
Therefore, even though these people recognized Val's mechanical soldiers, they did not treat Kira as an enemy directly and thought about intervening. Instead, they ran away first to ensure their own safety.
Kira was relieved now. Since this was not Val's kingdom, he didn't have to worry about having to fight against those powerless mechanical people. After all, he was a good man who couldn't bear to lay hands on children!
Snap! Click!
Accompanied by several crisp sounds, another one of the remaining mechanical soldiers on the ground changed.
It began to emit special magic power, forming an invisible force field around itself, offsetting all the gravity magic released by Kira.
Then, the robot soldier raised its head again and stared at Kira in mid-air as if nothing had happened.
