Steel Golem

Almost all attacks had no effect on those Mechanical Swordsmen. Only a few Knight-level experts lifted huge stones and smashed more than a dozen Mechanical Swordsmen until they twisted out of shape.

But that was also the final resistance of the human warriors atop Black City.

Once the twenty human ladders had been set up, a steady stream of Mechanical Swordsmen poured in from them.

"Die! All of you, die! You damned puppets!!" A Grand Knight clad head to toe in over a hundred kilograms of heavy knight armor roared. Wielding a two-meter greatsword, he charged before a Mechanical Swordsman and brought the terrifying blade down, forcibly cleaving it into two.

Eight Knights followed beside the Grand Knight, forming a small arrowhead. He swung his terrifying greatsword, and wherever it passed, the Mechanical Swordsmen were either sent flying or cut in half.

The eight Knights at his side protected his flanks and rear, allowing him to avoid being surrounded and fully unleash his strength.

Yet the Grand Knight's outburst was no more than the setting sun at dusk. No matter how desperately he fought, the Mechanical Swordsmen atop the walls only grew more numerous.

Those fearless, expressionless Mechanical Swordsmen brandished their enormous Alloy Battle Blades and charged into the ordinary soldiers, stirring up a storm of blood and flesh.

Flesh flew across the city walls, accompanied by the miserable screams of countless human warriors of Black City.

One human unit after another was slaughtered to collapse by the Mechanical Swordsmen, scattering in all directions.

Before long, only four Knight squads led by Grand Knights remained on the city walls, still resisting stubbornly.

The main force of the vast Mechanical Legion marched straight toward the Wizard Tower, dispatching only a thousand Mechanical Swordsmen to surround those four Knight squads.

"Submit. Surrender to me, and you will still have a way to live. Otherwise, die." A Mechanical Swordsman spoke coldly to the four Knight squads in its synthesized mechanical voice.

Knight-level experts were exceedingly rare even in human society. Only one Knight-level expert might emerge from among a thousand ordinary people. Those four Knight squads were the essence of Black City. If they surrendered, Yang Feng would find it much more convenient to move through Durando Human Society in the future.

"Ptui! A monster like you can eat shit!" Bennett, a burly Grand Knight wielding a greatsword, flashed a defiant look in his eyes and spat at the Mechanical Swordsman.

The Mechanical Swordsman ordered coldly, "Kill everyone in this squad!"

Two hundred Mechanical Swordsmen moved at once, pouncing on Bennett and his seven subordinates from all directions.

"Break through with me!!" Bennett roared, brandishing his greatsword as he charged at the Mechanical Swordsmen without turning back.

"Aah!!"

"Save me!!"

Almost at the same instant, Bennett heard waves of miserable cries for help. Turning back, he saw that the comrades who had always followed him had already been cut into countless pieces by the unending Mechanical Swordsmen, who fought by trading life for life.

In less than five breaths, Bennett's seven squad members had all been slain by the Mechanical Swordsmen. Their desperate attacks had destroyed five Mechanical Swordsmen as well.

"No! You beasts!!" Bennett's eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a heart-rending roar. He swung his greatsword and slashed a Mechanical Swordsman across the waist, instantly cutting it in two.

Twelve Alloy Battle Blades slashed at Bennett from six directions. Without his comrades' protection, he barely blocked four blades before being hacked into countless pieces.

The three remaining Knight squads felt a chill rise in their hearts at the sight. Bennett had been the strongest Grand Knight in Black City. If even such an expert could be so easily killed by the Mechanical Swordsmen, then stubborn resistance would leave them no hope of survival—only a dead end.

"I surrender!" Jon, a burly, bearded middle-aged man, looked back at the Knights behind him and let out a long sigh before tossing away his greatsword.

Jon's squad members also secretly breathed a slight sigh of relief and threw down their greatswords.

After Jon surrendered, the experts of the other two Knight squads also chose to surrender.

The vast Mechanical Legion advanced all the way, crushing every feeble force of resistance within Black City, and soon reached the Wizard Tower.

"Acid Splash!"

"Dark Ray!"

"Arcane Missile!"

As soon as the Mechanical Legion entered within two hundred meters of Black City, over a hundred Level-0 Tricks blasted into the Mechanical Swordsmen at once, taking out dozens of them.

The second floor of the Wizard Tower was packed with Wizard Apprentices from the Black Hut, nearly a hundred of them. These hundred-plus Wizard Apprentices were the backbone of the Black Hut.

The Wizard Tower could enhance spells. Within it, those hundred-plus Wizard Apprentices could unleash combat power comparable to several Level-1 Warlocks.

After dozens of Mechanical Swordsmen were destroyed, the vast remaining Mechanical Legion was utterly unaffected and continued charging toward the Wizard Tower.

At that moment, the doors of the Wizard Tower opened, and two Steel Golem puppets, each seven meters tall and wielding two terrifying six-meter greatswords, strode out of the tower.

The moment the two Steel Golem puppets appeared, red light flickered in their ruby eyes. They swung their greatswords and savagely slashed at the Mechanical Swordsmen.

A Mechanical Swordsman raised its Alloy Battle Blade before itself. The Steel Golem's greatsword crashed heavily onto the Alloy Battle Blade, forcibly chopping both the Mechanical Swordsman and its blade into twisted fragments.

"Strength Spell!"

"Agility Spell!"

The two Steel Golems stood guard at the entrance of the Wizard Tower, slaughtering the Mechanical Swordsmen madly. Above them in the tower, over a hundred Wizard Apprentices continuously cast Level-0 Tricks to enhance the combat power of the Steel Golems.

Steel Golems were combat weapons forged by true Alchemists with countless painstaking efforts and precious materials. Not only was their combat strength comparable to that of a Sky Knight, but they could also withstand the enhancement of all kinds of status spells, making them incomparably powerful.

Once activated, those two Steel Golems could even directly rout an army of a thousand ordinary mortals.

The Wizard Apprentices above the Wizard Tower continuously attacked the Mechanical Swordsmen with various Level-0 Tricks, preventing them from surrounding the two Steel Golems.

The two Steel Golems possessed terrifying combat strength, but once they were surrounded by hundreds or thousands of Mechanical Swordsmen, they too would have only a dead end awaiting them.

The Mechanical Swordsmen had no morale whatsoever. No matter how many were killed, so long as Yang Feng's command did not stop, they would continue hacking their prey before them to pieces.
