Pawn Crossing the River

The "Steam Guard" series is a war machine specially developed by Steam Gospel. It has multiple models. Among them, the "Steam Guard" type 4 is the highest single model in this series, also known as the "Steam Archon".

Following Robert's order, a horizontal dimensional gate appeared above the battlefield, with the exit pointing toward the ground below.

"Rahu" came down from the earth, and "Steam Archon" came from the sky.

I saw a huge metal box being dropped from the dimensional gate, as if a meteorite crashed to the ground, creating a crater with a diameter of more than ten miles.

Then the four walls of the metal box suddenly opened, hitting the ground heavily, and dazzling white light burst out from it. Vaguely visible, what was placed in the box was a metal cube that was only one size smaller than the metal box. The surface was painted with various patterns similar to metal pipelines and inlaid with unknown gemstones, somewhat similar to a Rubik's Cube.

This huge cube suddenly split into many smaller cubes, suspended in mid-air, and then reorganized, twisting and changing at the same time, and finally turned into a steel giant.

Steam Archon!

In a sense, the "Steam Archon" is somewhat similar to Takeo, with "steam power cores" installed in many key locations, which is the same as Takeo controlling his whole body through acupuncture points.

The "Steam Archon" is equipped with a total of twelve "steam power cores", namely the head, heart, lower abdomen, hips, shoulders, elbows, knees, and feet. This makes the whole body of the "Steam Archon" When it reaches a very balanced state, it can act independently. In other words, if you want to completely paralyze the "Steam Archon", you need to destroy all the "Steam Power Cores".

Almost at the same time, "Rahu" who had just summoned the meteor shower also noticed this big steel guy. He roared and immediately rushed towards the "Steam Archon". Above the line, the earth was broken and the buildings were gone.

"Steam Archon" did not give in and collided with "Rahu".

"Rahu" has four arms, two of which block the arms of the "Steam Archon", and the other two arms beat the "Steam Archon" crazily.

"Steam Archon" was not to be outdone, his eyes lit up, and two blazing sun rays directly shot "Rahu" in the face, and "Rahu"'s face was completely submerged by the sun rays.

"Rahu" immediately used his extra hands to tightly hold the head of "Steam Archon", forcing him to look up at the sky, and the sun rays shot out from his eyes shot into the sky.

Immediately, the two behemoths moved without any sense of beauty.

They struggled together, like villagers fighting in the countryside, hugging each other and rolling around on the ground. The ground roared, dust flew everywhere, and countless buildings were crushed.

The twelve "steam power cores" of the "Steam Archon" were running crazily, spitting out billowing steam and generating majestic power. He pushed "Rahu" away violently, shrank his left hand in, and his wrist turned into a black hole, followed by countless light spots. They gathered together and turned into a lightsaber, slashing directly towards "Rahu"'s head.

"Rahu" avoided the vital point, and the sword tore a huge wound on his chest. Billowing corpse energy gushes out from it. At the same time, four arms came out, and with strong physical strength, they tore from the body of "Steam Archon" Next a large piece of metal.

Of course, the Iron Giant would not bleed, and billowing steam would erupt from the wound.

Corpse energy and steam seemed to be two incompatible things, and they clashed fiercely, constantly fighting and annihilating each other.

"Steam Archon" raised his lightsaber and tried his best to stab "Rahu", but "Rahu" held his wrist tightly with both hands and could not move forward any further. At the same time, "Rahu"'s dragon tail slapped "Steam Archon" hard "Guan"'s lower body, tripping him down.

The two sides rolled into a ball again, biting and wrestling like wild beasts. Not only was there no beauty, but there was not much skill content, but the terrifying power of the two eclipsed all the exquisite skills. Every time they rolled, it was like an earthquake, destroying everything. All razed to the ground.

The condition of the two of them was also tragic. "Rahu" was covered in blood, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he even had an arm cut off, and his body was filled with corpse energy. The "Steam Archon"'s chest was opened by "Rahu", revealing the "Steam Power Core" that was already red and overloaded.

…

"It's a pity that we didn't bring the other 'Private Guard' series." The general in charge of the Steam Legion series was a little annoyed.

There are a total of four models in the "Steam Guards" series, of which the fourth type "Steam Archon" is the rarest, with only one. Type III, also known as the "Steam Elder", has three types. There is no limit to the number of Type 2 "Steam Generals" and Type 1 "Steam Soldiers" below. The latter two are the basis for forming a steam legion.

If you have a "Steam Archon" and cooperate with three "Steam Elders" and a number of "Steam Generals" and "Steam Soldiers", you can activate a special contract named "Praetorian Guards Succession Law" to transfer " Steam Archon" for now

Promoted to "Steam Emperor".

This is quite similar to the three major Yin objects of Taoism integrated into one, both of which improve quality through quantity.

The Holy Court's large-scale attack this time did not bring all the steam legions due to logistical reasons, and there was also a "Steam Elder" that was damaged by Qi Xuansu and was being repaired. At this time, there were only "Steam Archons" and some "Steam Generals" , "Steam Soldier", cannot activate the "Prætorian Guards Succession Law" to be promoted to "Steam Emperor".

That's why the general in charge of the Steam Legion is so upset. If the "Private Guards Succession Method" can be activated normally and the "Steam Emperor" can be summoned, then the "Steam Emperor" can Sweep everything.

At this time, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and no one could do anything about the other. All they could see was corpse gas and steam mixed together, all kinds of flames, beams, and electric currents flying around, the earth shaking, even cracking, and dust filling the air, as if it was the end of the world.

Even Robert could not clearly observe all the details of the battlefield.

He had to open one of his prosthetic eyes, called the "Eye of Truth". It was not a masterpiece of alchemical arcana or steam gospel, but a method of traditional divine magic of the Holy See. It was carved from a pure gemstone and then By giving blessings, you can see through all kinds of illusions and see the truth, so it is named the "Eye of Truth".

Then Robert's face became a little solemn.

He suddenly realized a situation. If there was a fair fight, it would be hard to say who would win or lose between "Steam Archon" and "Rahu". But at this time, on the battlefield, a large number of casualties had created a massive amount of corpse energy. "Rahu" was The whale swallowed the corpse energy and recovered itself. The wounds stabbed by the lightsaber had healed to a great extent, and even the broken arm showed signs of regeneration. But the power of the "Steam Archon" does not come from this. If the battle continues for a long time, I am afraid that the "Steam Archon" will gradually fall at a disadvantage.

Gong Fu has long said that the Holy Court's Steam Legion is of course very powerful. Without geographical support, it will be difficult to fight head-on. However, the Steam Legion has a huge problem, that is, it has extremely high requirements for logistics. Once it cannot fight quickly, If they decide quickly and fall into the predicament of a long battle, all the shortcomings of the Steam Legion will be exposed.

Once the "Steam Archon" is defeated, the frontal battlefield will show a one-sided situation, and then this large-scale attack will be considered a failure.

Failure to capture Monclova would mean a complete defeat for the Holy See.

It is precisely what they are afraid of that will come.

"Rahu" suddenly put his hand into the open chest of "Steam Archon", grabbed the "steam power core" suddenly, and then pulled hard, tearing off various metal pipes, and removed the "steam power core" "Dig it out and hold it in the palm of your hand.

Then "Rahu" hesitated for a moment, and actually swallowed the "steam power core" into his mouth.

In an instant, long streams of white air spurted out from "Rahu's" nostrils, ear holes, and mouth, and his skin also became covered with a layer of red.

Huangfu couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene, "What's going on?"

A Xidaomen master replied solemnly, "Our control over 'Rahu' is loosening. 'Rahu' has absorbed a large amount of unprocessed corpse energy. This corpse energy contains many undissipated three corpses, remnant souls, "Remnant soul, these consciousnesses indirectly led to the awakening of part of 'Rahu''s self-will, which is resisting us."

Huangfuji asked, "Why don't the three major evil objects of Taoism have such hidden dangers?"

The real person smiled bitterly, "Because the three major demons of the Taoist sect have given birth to complete consciousness. They decided to be loyal to the Taoist sect after independent conscious thought and consideration, rather than being controlled by the Taoist sect. There is an essential difference. Although the Taoist sect and the three There are also contract restrictions between the great yin objects, but this restriction mainly controls the ability of the three great yin objects to merge into one. The three of them do not want to merge the three into one, lose their original sense of autonomy, and give birth to a new consciousness, or The three of them share the same body, so of course they agree.”

The real person paused for a moment and then said, "As for 'Emperor Shakti', it is actually a body without any self-awareness at all. It needs someone to control it. Naturally, there will be no such hidden dangers. This is different from the steam man of the Holy Court." It's very similar. 'Rahu' is just between the 'Emperor' and the three great evil beings. He has some sanity, but he only has instincts and cannot really think."

Huangfu had a headache.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this golden opportunity to destroy the "Steam Archon", but now it seems that if "Rahu" is allowed to destroy the "Steam Archon" or even swallow more "Steam Power Cores", That will cause "Rahu" to completely lose control, which is not worth the gain.

Huangfuji hesitated for a moment and then ordered, "Strengthen the control of 'Rahu', put stability first. If necessary, you can give up chasing the target."

Almost at the same time, Robert also began to order "This attack has failed, prepare to evacuate, and give priority to ensuring the safe retreat of the 'Steam Guards' Type 4."
