Honkai Impact: Star Railway: I'm really not a Star God!

After gathering information along the way, the group hurried towards the Earth Marrow region.

The so-called mineral veins can already be glimpsed from afar on the paths in the mining area.

"Xing, Danheng, what do you think Ling Kong is doing right now?"

"Ask him when you have time later? We shouldn't need to worry about Ling Kong's strength, right?"

While replying to March 7th, Xing observed the situation along the way.

The winding path offers a good view in this terrain, and below... there are quite a few robots.

"Do you think... the mechanical settlement Lingkong mentioned has anything to do with this group?"

"A mechanical settlement? In mid-air?"

Bronya, who overheard the three talking, looked at them curiously.

“Our other team member is also in the lower zone now.”

"Will he be alright on his own? The mechanical settlement... it should be the stronghold of this group of people, if nothing unexpected happens."

She rolled her eyes at Bronya and analyzed rationally that she had heard of this suddenly emerging force, but she did not expect it to rise so suddenly recently.

This group suddenly appeared when the High Guardian ordered the Silvermane Iron Guards to evacuate the Lower District.

How can humans fight against machines? So this group directly occupied the main road connecting the lower and upper districts.

"Don't worry, our teammate is amazing! He'll definitely be fine!"

March 7th said confidently.

As for Ling Kong, although he's not particularly reliable like Xing, his strength is still quite formidable.

After all, she couldn't... shatter the Trampler with a single punch...

Before even reaching their destination, Xing's imagination began to run wild. Glancing at the robot in the distance, she said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Do you think... taking advantage of the situation by capturing the leader first...?"

"What a coincidence! But... wait, it seems like it really is possible... but he doesn't know that, does he? What if the leader of these robots can communicate with them? Wouldn't that backfire?"

"If that's true, we'll tell Ling Kong, and we can work together from the inside out, if this big shot Schwarzlo isn't willing to cooperate."

Dan Heng nodded, having already arranged Ling Kong's mission.

At this moment, the sound of arguing kept coming from the fork in the road ahead.

"You cowardly bullies, why can't you stand up straight in front of Schwarz's henchmen? Didn't your parents teach you what backbone is?"

Antonina looked at the three wanderers in front of her with disdain. These people... if they hadn't suddenly attacked and wanted to seize the mine, how could their Earthfire have been unable to deal with Boss Schwarz's mechanical legion?

"Are you kidding me? What would I gain from risking my life against robots? And don't pretend you're innocent; you've unearthed such a large area of ​​earth marrow and you're still hiding it. Do you think it's good to keep it all to yourself?"

The leader of the homeless retorted without any politeness, his eyes revealing naked greed and anger.

If the Earth Fire and the miners really take over the Earth Marrow, how could they possibly have any business? They don't believe that someone who has taken advantage of the situation would give up the benefits. How could the Earth Fire still be so good?

He didn't believe it.

In addition, this newly discovered mineral vein... is quite large... If we successfully obtain it, we won't have to worry about money for the rest of our lives.

"This mine is our territory. When the mining team was working day and night to meet the deadline, you didn't contribute a single bit of effort, not even a single word of nonsense! You're all lazy and good-for-nothing, only thinking about taking advantage of others, and you still have the nerve to act so self-righteous... You're shameless!"

Clearly, Antonina couldn't win a verbal battle against the group of homeless people, so she could only glare angrily at the three of them.

"When you can't even fill your stomachs, what good is face? I get it, you just hope we all starve to death so your mining team can save some food."

"It's a waste of breath to reason with you. Now look what's happened. You've caused such a commotion that the entire mine has been taken over by robots. Nobody's benefited."

When force failed, Antonina could only try to persuade the homeless men.

With a formidable enemy at hand, if they hadn't clashed with the Wanderers, they might have been able to put up a fight against Schwarz. The robots might not be able to use the Earth Core, but this group of people...

To survive, we rely on these earth marrows, so this vein of minerals must not be allowed to remain.

"Hmph, yeah, the mines are out of the question... but don't forget, who has the loaded gun now?"

With a cold laugh, the leading vagrant touched the musket in his hand, which had a knife wrapped in rags as a bayonet at the front.

Nobody knows where these homeless people got their weapons. What if someone suddenly sponsored them?

The sudden appearance of such a large-scale geology vein in the lower layer is a highly sought-after opportunity...

Whether in the upper or lower districts, everyone wants to possess this precious land.

"What...what do you want? I'm warning you, the subterranean fire is still nearby..."

"Don't try to scare us with your fire! They're busy playing with Schwarz's henchmen, they don't have time for you. If you don't want more holes in your bodies, hand over all your supplies and equipment!"

The group that arrived just in time witnessed this scene and was about to teach the homeless a lesson.

Having waited in vain for an opportunity to strike, Xing's large stick was already itching for action. Her gaze sharpened, and she said in a deep voice.

"Leave it to me!"

"Why be a lone hero now? I'll fight you together!"

Seele glanced at the star, then picked up her scythe and prepared to rush forward.

But before the two could make a move, a huge object suddenly fell from the sky, causing the ground to shake and the rising dust to obscure everyone's vision.

As the smoke cleared, a giant automaton appeared before everyone's eyes. In front of the automaton, the three former wanderers looked like children.

The leader of the wanderers was so frightened by the strong wind generated by the fall that his legs went weak, and he lost his grip on his musket, firing a bullet at the automaton.

clang!

It bounced off the mechanical casing, leaving only a dent.

The automaton that hadn't yet faced the wanderer slowly turned around.

"Hostile rogue detected - Activate annihilation mode -"

Wanderer: ? ? ? ?

Aren't they all located right next to the mines?

How did I get here?

Chapter 57 The Mastermind! It's You!

This sudden turn of events caught everyone present completely off guard.

Just as Seele was about to rush forward, Xing grabbed her and pulled her back.

Xing hurriedly asked curiously. Originally, they were planning to take action, but now... it seems they don't need to.

"Wait... weren't these robots supposed to only guard the area around the mine? How did they get out here...?"

March 7th guessed based on its own characteristics.

"I don't know...maybe...they just wanted to go for a drive?"

Antonina spotted Seele and the others, and her eyes lit up. Grabbing her two dazed younger brothers, Antonina jogged over.

This group completely ignored the homeless man's screams.

Compared to the Automaton Grizzly, the three wanderers were no different from dolls.

"Seele! Thank goodness you brought the robot, otherwise we would have—"

"By the way, Antonina, have you seen Chief Oleg?"

Ignoring the increasingly distant wails, these guys deserved it. Although they didn't know why the robot had come here, the wanderers, knowing they couldn't defeat it, conveniently lured the robot away.

“Oleg? He took a group of people down to the inner circle, saying he planned to drive away the invading robots, but judging from this... something has changed in the inner circle? The robots have been guarding the mine, and this is the first time they've left the inner circle this far. Weren't they brought here by you?”

"They've been gone for a while now, hmph... If Di Huo weren't gone, those thugs wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

Seeing the strange expressions on Seele's and the others' faces, Antonina was startled.

"Oh no! Something might have happened in the inner circle!"

Seele's pupils contracted slightly, yes!

The robots have all come to this place; Oleg's situation... might not be so optimistic.

"There's no time to lose. Although there are still many questions I want to ask, I think we should hurry up now."

Dan Heng stepped forward and spoke slowly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Seele's figure disappeared from everyone's sight like a ghost, rushing towards the inner circle.

Oleg... he absolutely cannot get hurt...

"Hurry up and follow them."

Nodding, the remaining four quickly followed Seele's figure.

......

"This mineral vein...that's what everyone's after..."

Standing beside the mine, Clara gazed at its enormous size, lost in thought.

"Mr. Schwarz, Brother Lingkong, look—what a huge vein of minerals! Clara has never seen so much geyserge before..."

"Calculating - based on average mining efficiency, this vein of ore can sustain Beloberg's energy supply for 231 days, plus or minus seven days."

"Such a large mineral vein, and it only lasted for such a short time?"

Ling Kong, standing to the side, looked at the mineral vein and was slightly surprised by Schwarz's calculations.

Doesn't that mean that if more mineral veins aren't discovered, Beloborg will perish?

What a coincidence! That's perfect for promoting the concept of original sin.

Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as providing charcoal in the snow; that's perfect.

"Brother Lingkong...actually, there are still many mineral veins in the lower area...but most of them have been affected by strange phenomena...many monsters roam those areas...at first, everyone wanted to deal with these monsters..."

Seeing that Clara was a little scared, Schwarzlo spoke on Clara's behalf.

"This is caused by a phenomenon called rift. As long as the source is not dealt with, those monsters will keep appearing, and no matter how many people you take, it won't help."

"And...someone said...they saw their fallen comrades reappear there..."
