Throne of Magical Arcana

"The great steam god, the ruler of life and death, your servant Augustus prays to you."

"... Under your guidance, we have infiltrated the entire Vlad territory, affecting the castles of all mid-level vampires nearby, allowing 23,786 dwarves to recite your name and honor you as holy ... "

"... 2,609 believers have died in battle with vampires and blood servants. We have begun to receive the attention of high-level vampires, and our actions are becoming more and more dangerous ..."

"Please lower the guidelines again and let the devout dwarves escape the bondage of the vampires, stay away from the night plateau, and be reborn."

"Steam is supreme."

The icon in front of Augustus is quite weird. It is a thick tower-shaped long arrow, round and gray, and engraved with countless strange patterns.This is based on the shape of the devastating weapon they saw in "Atlantis"-in Lucien's words, this is called "nuclear bomb worship".

The body was completely creeping on the ground. Augustus prayed prayerfully that the god of steam once again lowered the oracle. Even if more than three years passed, he had not received any guidance from the god of steam. test.

However, his mood was urgent and anxious. When the team was not strong at first, relying on the favorable conditions of Earl Vlad sleeping and the death of Madame Tess, in this territory, the dwarves were at ease.They gained knowledge and controlled some minerals, and their equipment in the blacksmith shop was quickly renewed. High-pressure steam rifles, vampire busters, and armor doped with mitral silver can effectively defend vampire claws and other weapons. When they face blood servants and low-level vampires With the ability to contend, you are no longer simply passively beaten.

However, when more and more dwarves of the steam gods developed into the territory of nearby mid-level vampires, the situation became critical.The strong melee strength, spell-like ability, and terrifying speed make them often have to damage hundreds of people to injure mid-level vampires, causing the other party to retreat, even if they later invented an explosive bullet that does not distinguish between enemy and self.

According to Harold and Quiggins, unless a large ship cannon that restores ancient steam civilization can be eroded to a large extent, it is expected to kill the mid-level vampires with amazing speed.

"But with our existing knowledge, standards, and conditions, it is impossible to create that kind of terrible cannon ..." Quiggins, the leader of the Dwarf Resistance, said so desperately at the time.

The Archbishop of "Steam God" August is even more worried: "This is still a mid-level vampire. If we alarm the high-level, or wait until Count Vlad wakes up, then even the giant ship cannon is useless unless ... … "

"Unless" is not finished, but whether it is Quiggins, Harold, or Milna, it is very clear that the archbishop said that the city of Atlantis seems to destroy the entire night plateau, and can temporarily create a The ultimate weapon of the legendary steam civilization of the sun.

Thinking of this, Augustus prayed more and more piously, and the most dangerous situation was the moment of the most test of trust.

"You dominate everything and control the boundary between life and death, the king of kings, the god of gods."

At the end of the prayer, just about to get up, Augustus suddenly heard a solemn and grand voice:

"The near future is near. Pick up the scepter and guide the dwarves to rebirth."

Augustus opened his eyes wide, excitedly prostrate all over again, slurred, saying: "Say your name, follow your orders."

He only felt the light bloom in front of him, and the dim underground cave became as bright as the silver moon.This was the illusion caused by the eruption of his great joy.

After a little calm, he reacted and asked with humility and awe: "The great steam god, do not know how to guide the dwarves to leave?"

Although his ancestors passed on from ear to ear to know that the dwarf ancestor came from another place, he could not think of how to leave the night plateau.

"Follow my guidelines, don't ask why."

"Honor you, be willing to be free from all suffering and evil under the glory of your glory." Augustus was instructed, his old face glowed with dazzling brilliance, walked out of the sacrificial platform, opened the stone door, and was enthusiastic, excited and confident. Outside the dwarf said: "Transfer orders to all the dwarves of the steam gods, and gather here within three days. The great steam god has given the oracle, we will leave the night plateau!"

After a short period of silence, under the leadership of the dwarf girl Milna, all the dwarves shouted in unison: "Steam is supreme!"

Tears of joy and excitement ran wildly on their faces.

…………

Three days later.

This huge underground cave in the territory of Count Vlad was filled with dwarves from nearby secretly approaching, nearly 21,000 people.

Some of them were carrying high-pressure steam backpacks, carrying huge steam rifles, guarding the entrance of the continuous cave, and some were ragged, with lashes everywhere, and the only common thing was that their faces radiated with dazzling hope.

"The time has come for the oracle to be delivered. I am satisfied that every living steam god believer has arrived here. This shows your piety, and you will be redeemed." It is a short tunic robe, holding a silver gray scepter like a "missile", "And I, the spokesperson of the god of steam, will lead you forward."

"On this way, no matter how dangerous or desperate, don't be afraid, you can't stop, we have the blessing of God!"

"set off!"

The dwarves responded to the "steam supreme" in unison, and then arranged in line according to the "Military Training Manual" given by the gods, and walked neatly and quietly in the underground cave **.

They all understand that staying in the night plateau can't see any hope of life, and will die humiliatingly sooner or later, and the appearance of the god of steam immediately let them find the sustenance of their souls in despair. The left is also dead, and the right is also dead. Fight once, even if a few dwarves are hesitant and afraid, they will follow the crowd under the influence of people around them.

Through the caves, the terrain gradually raised, and dense tombstones appeared around it.

"This is the hero who has sacrificed for the survival and hope of the dwarves in the past three years. Some of them are warriors, and some are ordinary dwarves and women who cover the warriors. Every dwarf is a hero when it is related to the survival of the dwarf family." Austria Gus all said loudly in the forefront and paid a deep respect.

Two thousand six hundred and nine tombstones watched them pass silently, and the atmosphere became solemn. Suddenly, a sharp piercing sound rang out behind the cave. Seven or eight ordinary vampires unfolded under the leadership of two or three powerful vampires. Bat wings, flying and chasing!

"It's Sanilson!" A dwarf shouted aloud, recognizing that it was a vampire knight who had crucified hundreds of dwarves, level 5, "They came after!"

"A traitor?"

"Someone was caught on the way?"

Panic, desperation and panic spread in the dwarf team. These vampires are close to high-level. In such a dense and crowded environment, the death and injury of themselves and others will not know how serious.

Harold looked at his compatriots, hesitated for a moment, and then spit hardly, shouting: "Warriors of the Robot Knights stand up! We are martyred for the god of steam, and the moment of glory for the dwarves has arrived!"

X's, death must stand and die, and death must die to be valuable!

At this moment, he conquered his fear of death.

Some of the Mechanical Knights soldiers with huge steam rifles shrank and hesitated, and some of them stood out after clenching their teeth. The slamming rifle followed the steam diffusely, but only hit an ordinary vampire, let him wailing Roll on the ground.

Just when Harold was a bit desperate, Augustus's voice rang: "On this way, no matter how dangerous or desperate, don't be afraid, you can't stop, we have God's protection!"

"No matter who it is, put away the weapon and move on without stopping, we have the blessing of God!"

There is still a silver lining in the rebellion, so that going forward will only lead to a tragic death!Harold looked at Augustus in confusion, but was stunned by his stern eyes and had to give the order: "All follow."

The dwarf walked slowly in doubt and fear, and the vampire's sharp cry, as if he could already feel the dangerous breath of horror pressure.

Suddenly, they were shocked to find that the tombstones around them started to shake, and a dwarf corpse climbed up from the grave, some of them had become bones, and some were still rotten pieces of meat.

Just when they thought it was a vampire's spell-like ability to control corpses, more than two thousand tombstones all fell around, and the dense corpses stood up, as if the world of the dead came to the ground, gloomy and terrifying.

This huge scene is completely beyond the imagination of the dwarves, and some even think it is the resurrection of the dead.

However, these corpses rushed towards the rear silently, connected to the vampires in pieces, and made a huge explosion from time to time.

"Are they dead and still guarding us?"

"Is their attachment to the dwarves so persistent?"

"Another holy name for the God of Steam is 'Master of Life and Death' ..."

With tears in her eyes, Harold looked back at those former comrades who exploded and clenched their fists to himself: "I must fulfill your wish!"

"This is the obsession that our dwarf family has accumulated for thousands of years!"

So he shouted with his arms: "Steam first, move on!"

After passing through the "Dwarf Heroes Cemetery", out of the underground cave, a huge stone appeared in front.

In accordance with the guidance of the "Steam God", Augustus successfully opened the gate of the underground palace, with the dwarf fish in, and saw a deep and mysterious gate in the center of the hall, which shone with bright stars.

"After the gate, there is the new world, the world of salvation." Augustus pointed to the gate. "The dwarves without hesitation and doubt can enter now."

At this point, who will hesitate?The dwarves entered the gate under Harold to maintain order, disappearing in place, and the space turbulence gradually became fierce.However, none of the vampire princes of the Night Plateau was in their own castle, and they all invested in the action of “saving” the ancestors, while the high-level vampires were not so keen, and the only close Earl Vlad was still trying to escape from the blockade. .

When there were only members of the Robot Knights in place, Sanilson and other vampires finally got rid of the entanglement of the undead and killed them.

"What should I do?" The members of the Robot Knights glanced at each other, and they must separate their hands to resist the vampire with the twisted face, so that the remaining comrades can leave.

Harold held his chest and said: "Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, let's move on."

As soon as the words fell, Harold and other dwarves and blood-stained vampires suddenly heard a crisp "ding" and saw a silver coin rolling over the door.

As the coins rolled, twisted magnetic fields and silvery electric currents appeared around them. They twisted rapidly and twisted into a huge electric snake with the coins as the core.

Then, Sanilson was shocked to see the dazzling light, filling the entire hall, the majestic power of terror quickly swallowed himself, unable to escape.
