Chapter 263: Once Again Investigating the Army of Mechanical Devices

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seven days had passed on the Otherworld continent.

In the Dragon Castle, which was located at the edge of the Misty Forest.

Mike was looking at the information that the messenger had returned.

This was all information regarding mechanical devices. After a few days of continuous tracking, Mike finally had some details about the mechanical devices.

It turns out that there were two sets of machines that were controlled by the gnomes.

The outer layer is the mechanism responsible for defense. After the outer layer receives the attack, the outer mechanism will fall off and explode.

After that, it exposes the inner layer of the mechanism, which is the central area controlled by the gnomes.

Do not underestimate the inner layer of machinery. It contains high-energy weapons that would be used against the enemy.

The only difference was that the defense of the inner layer was much lower. If one could destroy the machine before it launched an attack, it was almost certain that the entire mechanism would be completely paralyzed.

Putting all the information together and analyzing the injuries the Black Dragon had suffered, it was not difficult to figure out the details of what happened that day.

Thinking of this, Mike realized that the defense of the Dragon Castle would face a huge challenge. It was the same for the dragons in the castle.

According to the information sent by the messenger, the number of mechanical devices controlled by the gnomes was shocking.

With this advantage in numbers, even if Mike used the Sky City, it would be impossible to defend against the siege of this mechanical army.

After all, after the Sky City attacked once, it would take a few minutes to replenish its energy.

Within a few minutes, the numerous mechanical devices would attack before the Dragon Castle could defend itself.

If Dragon Castle were to be defeated, Mike would have no choice but to give up the entire castle, leave the Misty Forest, and head to other parts of the Otherworld. However, if Mike really did that, only destruction awaited him.

The dragon nest was connected to the dragon’s castle, it could not be separated. This was equivalent to giving up the dragon nest.

Even if Mike could temporarily escape danger, after entering the other regions of the Otherworld, survival was a huge problem.

The other regions of the Otherworld were no less dangerous than the Misty Forest.

Now, there was only one path left for Mike, and that was to protect the Dragon Castle.

After some calculations, he know that the mechanical army would reach the outskirts of the Misty Forest in two days.

At that time, the range of the mechanical devices would be enough to hit the Dragon Castle.

However, it would take another three days for the new creatures in the dragon nest to hatch.

This timing was very awkward. Mike would need to lead the dragons to fight against the mechanical army for at least a day.

If they could defend the Dragon Castle for a day and wait for the heaven-tier creature to be born, they would be able to resolve this crisis.

This was a far more dangerous crisis compared to when they encountered the Anti-dragon Alliance.

The Anti-dragon Alliance’s flying forces were easily suppressed by Mike’s dragons.

However, the mechanical device that was about to arrive had a strange attacking ability. It could break through the dragon’s defense.

At this moment, the Red Dragon came to the hall and saw Mike analyzing the information in front of him.

“Master, it’s my turn to look after the Black Dragon today. I found that the Black Dragon’s body moved by itself!”

Hearing the Red Dragon’s words, Mike instantly stood up from his seat.

“Is that so? That’s a good thing. Let’s go to the dragon nest now!”

Mike directly climbed onto the Red Dragon’s back so that they could arrive at the dragon nest faster.

A few minutes later, the Red Dragon landed in front of the dragon nest. Mike jumped off the Red Dragon’s back onto the ground and immediately headed towards the central area of the dragon nest.

There laid a Black Dragon.

When Mike got close to the Black Dragon, he saw that it was just as the Red Dragon had said.

The Black Dragon was moving its huge body, and it looked as if it was about to open its eyes. All of this indicated that the Black Dragon was really going to wake up.

This news quickly spread to every corner of the Dragon Castle.

The other dragons rushed to the dragon nest one after another. They were all dragons born from the dragon nest, and they had a deep relationship with each other.

When the dragon nest was filled with seven dragons.

The Black Dragon’s eyes finally opened, and its huge dragon eyes scanned the surroundings.

Soon, the Black Dragon saw Mike, who was not far away.

The Black Dragon struggled to stand up, but its body had been in a deep sleep for a long time, so it did not have the strength to stand up.

After several failed attempts, Mike walked to the front of the Black Dragon and reached out his hand to gently stroke the Black Dragon’s head.

“Don’t move. You just woke up. Your body still needs a long time to recover before you can stand up again!”

After understanding Mike’s words, the Black Dragon no longer struggled to stand up.

It then told Mike the scene and details of the previous attack through telepathy.

There were many similarities between this information and the ones Mike already knew.

It seemed that Mike’s judgment was right, the destructive power of the mechanical equipment was extremely shocking. It was not something a dragon could easily resist.

It was unknown what level the gnome dwarves were, to be able to create such powerful mechanical devices.

If this continued to develop, the gnome dwarves could even unify the entire continent of the Otherworld.

However, it was unknown if the gnome dwarves had such ambitions. That was because Mike had recently discovered a strange phenomenon.

The mechanical device controlled by the gnomes was aimed at the Dragon Castle.

The Alliance of Gods Castle, which was in the same dimension as the Dragon Castle, was actually ignored by the gnomes.

In other words, it is very likely that the gnomes are cooperating with the Alliance of Gods.

It was very likely that the leader of the Alliance of Gods had secretly bribed the gnomes to attack the Dragon Castle with the mechanical army.

It was very likely to be the case.

After Mike received all the information from the Black Dragon, he immediately called the castle’s butler.

Then, he told the butler to pick the smartest soldier from the messengers.

Mike decided that he could not sit still and wait for death. He had to take the initiative to attack first. He will not be passively sitting in his castle.

Mike wanted to send a very smart messenger over to the gnome army.

He wanted to speak to the gnome leader who was controlling the mechanical devices.
