Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 246 Repelling the Snake Men, the Legion Sets Up Camp

"This alchemical golem self-destructed?"

"It has such terrifying power, but why haven't we sensed any strong magical fluctuations?"

Looking outside the city, six terrifying small mushroom clouds rose into the sky.

Many humans and snake people were blinded by the shockwave.

Even if these killing machines are equipped with miniature nuclear power units, they are also equipped with miniature nuclear weapons.

However, even a small nuclear explosion has a terrifying impact that is no less than the full-force attack of an eighth or ninth-tier being.

Moreover, the six snake people currently have very little magic left.

Therefore, facing such an impact head-on would naturally mean certain death.

As for the shockwaves during the nuclear explosion, they were all blocked by the other three special killing machines in the killing machine.

Without a doubt, these three killing machines are robots made of advanced materials.

Whether it's magic or the level of technological application, it's far superior to most low-level killing machines currently available.

"The stars are the crown, the black hole is the crown; wherever the star path leads, it is a land protected by the Dragon God!"

"kill!!!"

The three high-level robots looked cold and simultaneously shouted!
"The stars are the crown, the black hole is the crown; wherever the star path leads, it is a land protected by the Dragon God!"

"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!"

At that moment, all the nuclear-powered infantrymen roared in anger!

At the same time, all ten killing machines, each with a hundred members, went even more frantically to clear out any snake-men in sight!
"The High Priest!"

Seeing the terrifying scene before them, the high-ranking snake people around the high priest all showed expressions of fear.

"I'm not an idiot!"

"What are you yelling for? Alright, consider these humans lucky. Everyone, get out of Brady County!"

"The origins of these alchemical golems are highly suspicious. However, once the Great Serpent Father successfully 'redeems' those false gods of this world, this world will soon become the Great Serpent Father's kingdom and our paradise."

"Hmph, do those gods in the Astral Plane think they can refuse the divine grace bestowed upon this world by the Great Serpent Father with alchemical golems? Heh, I'd like to see just how many more of these guys those gods can make."

"What kind of strange language are these guys talking about? I can't understand a single word."

The alchemical golem's power was indeed beyond the snake people's comprehension.

But in the eyes of the Serpent High Priest, alchemical golems like these should not be so easy to create, even for gods.

What's more, it's incredibly powerful.

Therefore, if we've already lost, so be it.

Although this would inevitably subject him to ridicule from snake-people priests in other regions, it wouldn't matter much.

Moreover, given some time, his snake-man priest army will soon be able to take shape again.

There is no shortage of living beings in the mortal world, whether they are humans or ordinary animals and monsters, they can all become breeding grounds for snake people.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the people of Brady County, large numbers of snake people began to retreat.

The strange alchemical golems also stopped there and did not pursue the matter further.

The city walls of Bradyshire.

"Your Majesty the Duke!"

The commotion outside the city had already alerted the Duke of Bradyshire.

Even though the Grand Duke was seriously injured, he still brought a group of high-level professionals to the city wall.

The elderly man frowned slightly as he gazed at the terrifying puppet army gathering outside the city.

"When these terrifying alchemical golems descended, did any of you priests receive any divine decree from our Lord?"

Upon hearing this, the three high-ranking priests around him all showed solemn expressions.

"Your Grace, we have not received any divine decree."

"Even now, we have not received any guidance from the gods."

"That's it."

Duke Zahn pondered.

He then said directly, "Alright, in any case, these alchemical golems have helped us solve the pollution crisis."

"Let's go. No matter who they are, we can't neglect our manners."

"Yes!" The surrounding high-level professionals readily accepted the order.

Soon after, Duke Zahn's body floated up.

At the same time, he was accompanied by seventeen other high-level professionals.

Just as this group arrived in front of the killing machine legion, the killing machines had already assembled their forces.

In this operation, the entire killing machine legion suffered almost no losses, except for the loss of six suicide infantrymen.

However, the ammunition consumption was enormous.

But this doesn't matter, because the three 20-meter-long supply vehicles in the rear can produce the basic ammunition themselves.

One of the supply trucks is a magic collection truck, whose main function is to absorb the magic energy of places with magical environments in order to condense magic crystals.

One of the supply vehicles is a mineral collection vehicle, whose main function is to detect mineral deposits. It also has a small mining robot and a multi-functional small furnace for refining metals.

As for the last supply vehicle, it was naturally the supply vehicle for the small production line.

In short, this army of a thousand killing machines is perfectly capable of basic self-sufficiency.

However, it must be said that such a legion has also consumed a lot of resources. Their total value is no less than the cost required to successfully cultivate an ordinary Saint-level being.

However, the Star Empire is vast and powerful, and this little bit is nothing.

The arrival of Duke Zahn and his entourage naturally attracted the attention of the robot army.

So, the leading legion commander immediately led ten squadron robot officers behind him into the air.

"He who comes is stopped."

"Please explain your purpose of visit."

At this moment, the leading killing machine had already issued a warning using its spiritual device.

Duke Zahn could naturally see that the eleven killing machines at present were all alchemical puppets.

But realizing that these alchemical golems seemed to possess a high level of intelligence, he immediately perked up and solemnly replied:
"I am Zahn Hall of Bradyshire, and now the Grand Duke of Bradyshire in the Kingdom of Holmes!"

"I have come here to express my gratitude for your rescue. May I ask where you are from?"

Upon hearing Duke Zahn's words, the leading killing machine immediately straightened his face and said:

"No need for thanks!"

"As for our origins, we have nothing to hide from you."

"We are subordinate to the Mechanized Legion of the Star Empire, and are currently one of the land landing forces of the Empire's Seventh Starship Fleet. Our legion number is 112."

The Star Empire? A Starfleet?
What is this all about?
Upon hearing this, the high-ranking professionals around Duke Zahn exchanged bewildered glances.

"What country is this? I've never heard of it before."

"This could absolutely not be a country from our continent of Skoao."

"Do you even need to tell me? Didn't you hear that these high-level alchemical golems are legions of some kind of astral fleet?!"

"The Astral Legion? Could this be an extraterrestrial civilization?"

"This is unheard of, but now that snake-people contaminated bodies exist in our world, it's not impossible for another unknown force to emerge."

"But" what follows doesn't need to be explicitly stated by these people.

The expressions of those around him became very serious.

Even these high-level professionals have become wary of the killing machine legion.

Duke Zahn was no exception.

His expression was grave as he looked at the killing machine.

"If I understand correctly, you and your fellow alchemical beings all come from an extraterrestrial world that we have never heard of?"

The leading killing machine nodded calmly.

"Is such that."

"But you need not be afraid. Our Star Empire is not so foolish as to wage war against humanity, against a race of order, without cause."

Grand Duke Zahn remained expressionless, simply staring directly at the other person.

The commander of the killing machine legion continued:
"Our Star Empire comprises countless races, all of which are equal. We do not indiscriminately commit murder, nor do we invade other worlds without cause."

"Therefore, you need not worry."

"As for the legion I lead, it's just that during a previous war exercise, for some unknown reason, we ended up in this unknown world when we crossed a teleportation array that could teleport us to a designated location for the exercise!"

"Everything is accidental, so you don't need to worry."

"As for the action just now, we only saw that humans were being attacked by evil creatures, and in accordance with the Imperial War Law, we launched the necessary military strikes against these evil creatures."

Duke Zahn and his entourage were utterly astonished by the robot legion commander's words.

A vast array of races?

Legion exercises? Did I accidentally end up in this world while crossing a teleportation array?

Evil creatures? How do they know the snake-men are evil creatures?

Could this not be a race war?
Of course, Duke Zahn assumed that these alchemical golems had a way of distinguishing evil creatures and even had their own criteria for judgment.

But since it was just talk, Grand Duke Zahn and the others naturally didn't believe it.

But what can you do if you don't believe it?
After all, the commander of this alchemical golem is speaking quite convincingly right now.

Therefore, while considering the risks of this matter, Duke Zahn pondered for a moment, and then immediately said:

"I see."

"So, you ended up in our world by accident?"

“That’s right.” The robot legion commander nodded calmly.

"It's not that I doubt you, but what you've said is truly quite unbelievable."

"However, I've also discerned that the world you reside in, um, the Star Empire, actually has humans, is that right?"

The robot legion commander said indifferently, "That's natural. Don't our appearances speak for themselves?"

"Furthermore, I can sense that you humans are suspicious of us."

"In that case, we have received your words of gratitude, and you may now leave."

"As for our side, we will find a no-man's-land to set up camp and then look for a way back to the Empire."

This?
Let them find their own place to camp?

Not only Duke Zahn felt uneasy, but even the other high-level professionals felt uneasy at this moment.

Putting aside the fact that these alchemical golems have mysterious origins.

Even if they choose their own area to camp, which part of Brady County isn't nominally under the jurisdiction of Duke Zahn?

Moreover.

If these mysterious alchemical legions truly originated from a powerful civilization and empire.

In fact, everything he said was true.

Letting them go like that would be even more inappropriate.

After all, the world of grids is now full of contaminants, and towns and kingdoms have fallen into chaos.

Even self-preservation is a problem.

Now that we have such a powerful foreign aid team, letting them go would not be in Duke Zahn's best interest at all.

More than a decade has passed, and even the Duke of Zahn himself could not have imagined that the world would degenerate to this extent.

The emergence of the snake-man contaminant was not taken seriously from the beginning.

This could lead to large-scale attacks, or even divine intervention in wars.

Even now, divine descents have become rare, and the situation of the gods has even deteriorated.

In such circumstances, it's no wonder that even a county town would struggle to receive aid.

Each of the kingdoms' capitals has its own major troubles.

In this situation, where various places are effectively completely isolated, Duke Zahn really doesn't have many options left.

Whatever the situation is with this Star Empire.

He could never let go of such a powerful ally.

For no other reason than for the sake of the remaining million residents of Brady County, he had to keep this mysterious alchemical legion.

In short, it gives one the feeling of having to bow one's head when under someone's roof.

Therefore, Duke Zahn immediately spoke with bitterness.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood."

"It's not that we're suspicious. To be frank, you all should have realized that the situation in our world is actually not good."

"Those snake people, also known as the corrupted beings, are now everywhere in our world."

“We are truly worried that we may encounter another malicious race or civilization that could cause even greater harm to our world, which is why we have some doubts about you.”

"But now, well..."

At this point, Duke Zahn spoke frankly.

"Given how you all helped us defeat these pollutants, we certainly shouldn't doubt you."

"After all, to be honest, even if your civilization or empire has designs on our world, it's still better than everyone becoming those inhuman, monster-like beings."

"Moreover, the fact that you all helped us out of this predicament is itself a tremendous favor, so..."

"Gentlemen, if you trust us, why not set up camp outside Brady City? That way, we can repay your kindness."

"Of course, it would be even better if you could help us defend against those snake people during these days."

"Although it may be presumptuous, since you have all said that you have been stranded in our world, you must want some information about our world, or even supplies."

"Therefore, if you can help us, I, the Lord of Brady City, will do everything in my power to fulfill all your requests."

"So, what do you think, sir?"

Duke Zahn had already made his point very clearly.

They even regarded this alchemy legion as the county's lifeline.

Although the other high-level professionals around them still had doubts, considering the reality, they all ultimately chose to remain silent, like deflated balloons.

As for the robot army?
Since the host has said so, as the commander of an intelligent legion with advanced computing power, he naturally has no reason to refuse.

Furthermore, this is actually their goal in itself.

And so, this thousand-strong army successfully set up camp outside the city of Brady County.
