“Eh?”

“What’s going on today? Why aren’t these crystal lights on?”

Roland tilted her little head, observing not far away. She was a young and energetic half-elf, usually only able to sleep around ten o’clock at night when the crystal lights in Modo City turned off. Sometimes she would stare at these crystal lights in a daze or chat casually with another little girl downstairs. Today, the crystal lights went off unusually early, around eight o’clock, something that had never happened before. It seemed that aside from the lighthouse at the harbor, there were no other lights anywhere, and the little girl felt that something was happening this evening.

The little girl tiptoed to prepare to sneak down from the balcony to take a look, but as soon as she landed, she noticed her father smiling at her from below.

“Oh no.”

Roland forgot one thing; her father used to be a very skilled thief. Although he had taken a legitimate job after moving to Modo City, she had never successfully snuck out of the house at night.

“What are you doing!” Her father rarely got angry, but Roland still lowered her little head in fear.

She quickly said, “The crystal lights are off, it’s so boring. I want to walk over to the square.”

Slap.

Her father gave her a light tap on the head and said, “Come back with me. There are important matters at the city hall today, and all the crystal lights are turned off. You are also prohibited from approaching the central square.”

After saying that, he grabbed her back as if she were a little chick.

………………

Modo City, Central Square.

Normally, there would still be people active in the square at night, and occasionally shy young boys and girls could be seen sneaking hand-holding interactions. However, today, there wasn’t a single person visible because there was a team of soldiers patrolling the area.

“High Priest!”

A man who looked like an officer approached the temple and bowed, saying, “Gloria said everything is ready on her side.”

The High Priest maintained a calm expression and nodded, saying, “Understood.”

“Cut off the energy transmission to the lighthouse and concentrate the energy from the Elemental Furnace to the portal!”

Zzzt.

A faint electric arc appeared, a phenomenon resulting from the high concentration of magical energy. The lighthouse at Modo Harbor flickered a few times before going dark, and then the crystals in the central square suddenly illuminated brightly. At the same time, all the crystal pipes projected a faint purple glow, directly connecting to the location of the laboratory.

A cold mechanical voice announced:

“Magical energy transmission started!”

“Locking onto the astral realm teleportation beacon! Interdimensional teleportation plan initiated!”

“Beginning test!”

A clay golem was activated by the energy and then walked out of the Golem Factory, promptly disappearing into the white light of the portal.

The Tower Spirit’s voice echoed again:

“Teleportation completed!”

“Conducting teleportation beacon test! Teleportation deviation exceeds twenty kilometers! Realign the teleportation beacon!”

Gloria was busy nearby, and the Fallen Witch was adjusting a massive array of alchemical constructs near the portal. After about ten minutes, the second test was initiated again.

Soon, the second clay golem vanished into the portal.

The Tower Spirit’s mechanical voice sounded:

“Teleportation completed!”

“Conducting teleportation beacon test! Teleportation deviation is approximately ten meters! Test completed! Locking space beacon! Initiating Golem Legion teleportation!”

Interdimensional teleportation tends to have deviations. Even legendary mages may encounter accidents; the prerequisite for avoiding mishaps is to provide two teleportation beacons, allowing for adjustments even in the event of a deviation. With the beacon for positioning, the current technology in Modo City can control deviations in teleportation locations within thirty meters.

At this time, Gloria also stood up and said to the Fallen Witch beside her: “Mother.”

“We can start the teleportation now. Should I go this time?”

The Fallen Witch lifted her head and replied, “You must stay in Modo City; those officials respect and obey you. So this time, I will go to the Mechanical Realm.”

“Okay.”

“Nothing to argue about! Start teleporting the Golem Legion!”

With the operation of the Tower Spirit, a massive dark door appeared beneath the Golem Factory, and several activated clay golems emerged. Modo City had continuously operated the Golem Factory for a long time, keeping a portion of golem puppets for construction while retaining another part as the army in storage. Clay golems were the easiest to create; Soren had brought over a thousand from the desert ruins, and Modo City had produced thousands itself. This reserve was prepared to deal with attacks from the Demon Legion. However, the demon assault did not choose Modo City, a tough nut to crack, so these Golem Legions could be deployed elsewhere.

More than three thousand clay golems arranged neatly entered the portal, followed by hundreds of stone golems. These two types of golem puppets were the most numerous, while steel golems had to wait for the metals from the Bottomless Abyss to be refined.

……………………

On the other side.

Near the factory in the Mechanical Realm, a makeshift portal was also completed.

Before Soren, a clay golem first appeared, and after about ten minutes, more clay golems began to walk out of the portal.

“Mobility is still insufficient!”

“The alchemical trees of Modo City need to continue climbing up!”

Soren watched the clay golems emerging, frowning slightly. “Although interdimensional teleportation has been achieved, this method still lacks mobility.”

“During the Arcane Empire period, battlefield zero-delay teleportation was possible.”

“The Godslayers who attacked the Spider Queen could also perform zero-delay battlefield air drops. Modo City’s teleportation technology must be further improved.”

Soren’s ideal of interdimensional combat was to directly air-drop the Golem Legion into the cities of the Fermi Ant Tribe, but currently, Modo City’s alchemical trees were still insufficient, so they could only teleport to the Mechanical Realm first and then regroup for the attack. This, in turn, significantly reduced mobility. Back in the Arcane Empire, they dared to intervene in the Abyssal Blood War for resource disputes between demons and devils precisely due to that zero-delay teleportation technology. Research on portals is one aspect, and energy supply is another. To initiate interdimensional portals, Modo City even turned off the energy supply to the lighthouse.

Thousands of clay golems completed their assembly, followed by the gathering of stone golems.

The figures of Tower Spirit No. 1 and Tower Spirit No. 5 appeared, slightly bowing to Soren, saying, “Your Excellency, Lord of Shadows! Our Golem Legion has assembled!”

On the other side near the Golem Factory, three formations of varying sizes had taken shape.

Due to the different command systems of the golem puppets, the Tower Spirits could only control the forces themselves. These Construct Life forms were also very interested in the fallen floating city of the Arcane Empire; they hoped to conduct research after defeating the Fermi Ant Tribe.

A large military force had gathered.

Ultimately, Modo City deployed more than three thousand clay golems, over eight hundred stone golems, more than a hundred steel golems, and twelve diamond golems.

The attack was scheduled for nighttime.

The reason was that the Golem Legion was not flesh-and-blood life, and nighttime affected them very little, giving them a distinct advantage in combat.

As the Fallen Witch’s figure appeared from the portal, Modo City’s army had all arrived. Tower Spirit No. 3 activated a portal at the edge of the gear that could lead directly to the city occupied by the Fermi Ant Tribe.

“Let’s start the action.”

Soren nodded, handing over command of the Golem Legion to the Fallen Witch, then shifted his mind into the Bottomless Abyss.

This battle faced tens of thousands of Fermi Ant Tribe members, a race where all organisms were standard professionists; even the worker ants were equivalent to level 3-5 warriors. The challenge level of the Mechanical Realm was so high primarily because of these ever-present Fermi Ants.

Soren also needed a reserve force.

At this time, he needed to draw on the power of the Demon Avatar; if necessary, he might even have to air-drop a demon legion onto the battlefield.

The massive Golem Legion began to mobilize.

Such a large-scale operation could not be concealed from the opponent. Therefore, when the Golem Legion teleported near the ant city, they had already been discovered by the enemy.

Zzzt!

Accompanied by sounds resembling those of insectoids, large numbers of Fermi Ant Tribe troops gathered.

This race exhibited standard insectoid characteristics; individual consciousness was very weak, with the strongest will in the group being the Ant Queen. The other Fermi Ants were essentially puppets, readily controlled by the Queen’s mental commands.

Heavy footsteps began to echo.

As cannon fodder, the clay golems advanced; the Golem Legion fought without much technique, presenting a scene of pure brutality. Each clay golem, about two meters tall and weighing over 500 pounds, charged headlong, crashing into the defenses of the Fermi Ant Tribe with sheer force. Even if they fell in battle, they showed no signs of wavering, following orders to continuously push forward. Along the way, there were crushed bodies of Fermi Ants, and while they destroyed enemies, the number of scrap clay golems was also gradually increasing. A race where every member was a professionist level was not easy to deal with.

However!

As time went on, subtle differences began to emerge.

That was, Modo City’s clay golems sustained fewer casualties, while a third of the Tower Spirit’s clay golems had already been lost. The reason for this was simple: the clay golems from Modo City had been infused with a specialty ability during their creation.

——”Guarding while Attacking!”

After nearly two months, Gloria finally cracked the specialty ability that had been infused into the golem puppets during the Arcane Empire period.
