1170 Sensing
On the third floor of the Alchemy Society, five royal guards were guarding the stairs at the end of the passage.
There were three staircases that led to the fourth floor, and their team was ordered to guard them. Before the investigation was over, no one was allowed to pass.
“Clack, clack.”
Heavy footsteps came from the stairs.
The five of them heard the sound at the same time and looked up at the top of the passage.
Someone was there?
Everyone exchanged glances and raised their guard. They then looked at the team leader, Garthor.
It sounded like something was approaching from upstairs. Do they need to go up and take a look?
Garthor looked up and suddenly noticed something rolling down the stairs.
“No!” Garthor shouted almost subconsciously. “Be careful!”
Seeing this, the royal guards stepped back at the same time and raised their shields in front of them.
“Ka, ka… Pada.”
A light blue metal body about half a meter in size rolled down the stairs and bounced on the ground a few times, making a crisp sound of impact until it fell at the top of the stairs.
Not an explosive?
Garthor signaled for his team to stay alert and carefully walked forward to observe.
It looked like a metal device.
To be precise, it was two components, one big and one small, connected together with a few simple wires. The small component even had alchemy runes drawn on it.
Did it fall from the stairs?
Garthor was suspicious. He looked up the stairs.
“Buzz! Buzzz!!”
Suddenly, the metal block in his hand started vibrating.
Garthor sensed danger and quickly threw the metal block away from his hand.
There was still no movement. The piece of metal continued to make a buzzing sound after it landed on the ground.
After observing for another half a minute and seeing that nothing had happened, Garthor carefully walked forward and held the metal block in his hand to observe it carefully again.
The metal block was cold to the touch, and it would shake violently every ten seconds.
“Thump thump! Thump thump thump!”
Heavy footsteps came from above.
Everyone looked up the stairs and saw the alchemy machine of the Alchemy Society walking down the fourth floor with heavy steps.
The four royal guards behind him raised their spears at the same time.
“Don’t be nervous.”
Garthor stood at the front of the line and raised his hand.
“It’s an alchemy machine from the Alchemy Society, not an enemy. They have the function of friend-or-foe identification. Don’t attack them on your own initiative to avoid being identified as an enemy, or it will be very troublesome.”
While they were talking, several alchemy machines walked down from the fourth floor with heavy steps.
The alchemy machine’s eyes flickered with a yellow light.
Their mechanical heads slowly turned and finally aimed at where Garthor was.
“Di di di…”
The yellow in his eyes turned red.
“Dong Dong Dong…”
The six alchemy machines accelerated and rushed toward Garthor almost at the same time.
Not good!
Garthor sensed the hostility from the alchemy machine and immediately raised his shield, shouting, “There’s a problem! Be careful!”
“Thump!!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the alchemy machine punched the shield in front of Garthor.
“Despicable Alchemy Society!”
Garthor felt a weight on his shoulder. He gritted his teeth and raised his spear to counterattack.
The remaining four royal guards of the team immediately went forward to provide support.
At the corner of the fourth-floor staircase, Ed’s figure gradually solidified.
He had just gone offline to communicate with his ‘friends’ before coming back online.
As soon as he got online, he saw the royal guards and the alchemy robots of the Alchemy Society fighting on the third floor. He couldn’t help but be amazed.
“Lord Fang Heng, how did you do it?”
“It’s not difficult. I disassembled two alarm-type alchemy machines earlier on and combined the alarm device and power supply device. The continuous alarm will attract nearby companions for help. I also slightly adjusted the power and alarm mode so that the alchemy machines on the fourth floor can also sense the help signal and come to help.”
Fang Heng nodded and explained, “The weight of the support is relatively high, so the alchemy machinery took the initiative to enter the attack mode on the third floor. The alarm mode, at its highest level, allows the alchemy machinery to actively attack the enemy and make it lose its resistance.”
Ed understood and mumbled to himself, “Lord Fang Heng is indeed a professional.”
He didn’t expect that he would know so much about alchemy machinery other than necromancy.
It was no wonder those who had the guts to betray their country and establish their own factions all had some skills.
Ed continued to look downstairs.
The five royal guards got into formation and retreated in an orderly manner. After blocking a few attacks, Garthor found the right time to attack with his dragon strike spear.
“BOOM!”
The spear blasted a large hole in the alchemy machine’s abdomen, and the entire alchemy machine was sent flying.
Ha!
It began.
A smile appeared on the corner of Fang Heng’s mouth.
After detecting the destruction of a companion, the alchemy machine would enter the highest stage of crisis mode, maximizing its operating power, the support area, and the alarm range.
Everything was within Fang Heng’s expectations.
The royal guards were stronger than the alchemy puppets, and they also had the ability to attack in a group. Wouldn’t killing a few alchemy machines be a piece of cake?
“BOOM!”
Garthor used his martial arts again, waving his spear and stabbing forward, sending another alchemy machine flying and hitting the wall.
The alchemy machine struggled a few times on the ground and completely lost its ability to fight.
However, when he looked up again, he found more and more alchemy machines coming down from the fourth floor.
“To hell with it!”
There were so many alchemy robots that Garthor cursed in his heart. He could only raise his hand and retreat with his team.
“Let’s go, retreat!”
Seeing the royal guards retreating to the hall on the third floor, Fang Heng nodded to Ed and the other man.
“The parts I need are all in the torso of the alchemy machine, so I only need the torso.”
“In addition, the alarm will also be triggered inside the Alchemy Society at the same time. The people from the Alchemy Society will come to check soon. We need to act as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Fang Heng took the lead and went downstairs.
When he reached the third floor, he first found and retrieved the tools he had used for the crime. Then, he picked up a wrench and began to dismantle the alchemy machinery that had been destroyed by the royal guards.
[Hint: You have dismantled the alchemy puppet-the Empire’s Alchemy Society’s multi-functional alchemy body VIII (mass production, support type). You have obtained central energy converter*1, energy operating valve*1…]
Tang Mingyue and Ed also followed Fang Heng downstairs and divided the work. They roughly dismantled the torso of the alchemy machine and then carried it to the fourth floor, trying to give Fang Heng more time to dismantle it.
Ed knew that time was of the essence. He had just taken down the two alchemy bodies with great effort when he turned his head and saw a cart beside Tang Mingyue.
“Your Highness, this cart is…”
Ed looked at Tang Mingyue, who was loading the alchemy machinery into the cart and was a little dazed for a moment.
A cart?
Where did it come from?
Ed suddenly felt that Her Highness Mingyue seemed to be very familiar with this kind of thing.
