Chapter 69 The Fallen Floating City!
Exploring the Mechanical Realm is full of unpredictable surprises.
Because the mechanical land is composed of huge gears, and these gears can move slowly.
Sauron's trip was for the knowledge left over from the period of the Arcane Empire and the corpses of the ancient gods floating near the Machine Realm, so he didn't really want to deal with the Formian ants, and he didn't want to meet the legendary mother of all ants. .
Ant tribes are difficult to deal with among the Zerg tribes, and they are more dangerous than the mutant Zerg tribes at the bottom of the bottomless abyss.
but.
After advancing for more than ten miles, Sauron encountered the Formi ants.
This time, it was not the workers, but the warriors of the Formi ant clan. There were more than a dozen of them. It was impossible to solve this problem with magic alone. Sauron directly drew out the scimitar and killed them all in one second. kill.
"what happened!"
"Could it be that the location where I descended is the gathering place of the Formians?"
Sauron obviously sensed something was wrong. Groups of Formian warriors rarely appeared in the wild, unless they used this place as a new colony. Formians love to expand their territories, occupying individual gears and turning them into colonies of their own. If it weren't for other races to control them, I'm afraid the Formi Ants could occupy the entire Mechland.
"Huh?"
"What's this?"
Sauron suddenly found a small emblem next to the corpses of these Formi ants. This emblem looked very special and a bit like the symbol of the monk sect, but Sauron knew that this was not the monk sect like the material plane. , but another sect of creatures, and some of them seem to live in the territory of the machine.
Sauron quickened his pace.
Sure enough, many traces of battle were found ahead!
Soon he saw the corpses of many Formians, and another, more slender species.
"Githzerai?!"
Sauron bent down and looked at the corpses. The githzerai are somewhat similar to the githyanki, but they are a race that upholds the teachings of monks. There are a large number of monks among the githzerai, and they still have Psychic monk.
Githzerai are born psionic monks.
"This seems to be a gathering place for githzerai!"
Just by distinguishing the surrounding situation, Sauron vaguely guessed something, because there are buildings destroyed by the Formians here. Apparently the expanding colony of the Formians affected the homeland of the githzerai, and conflict inevitably broke out. The strength of the githzerai is very strong. Basically, there are at least a dozen corpses of Formians next to the corpse of a githzerai. However, there were a lot of Formians. According to the traces of the battle, the githzerai should have been forced to abandon their homes and retreat to the north.
Sauron stood there and thought for a while, then walked towards the north.
The githzerai were a relatively rare race, and he had never seen a living githzerai with his own eyes so far.
The footprints on the ground became more and more flustered. It seemed that the retreating githzerai were being chased by the Formi ants. Sauron couldn't help speeding up his pace, and then he simply used the flying technique.
Zizizi!
After advancing tens of kilometers, Sauron finally saw the figure of the githzerai, but the battle was drawing to a close.
More than a dozen githzerai were surrounded by hundreds of Formis, and hundreds of them had already fallen on the ground, as well as more Formians. The fighting style of githzerai is very similar to that of monks, but they will use psionic power to cooperate with the battle, and have some astral power and teleportation ability.
If there were no accidents, these githzerai would eventually be killed by the Formians.
Sauron thought for a while, and finally decided to make a move. He sneaked into the shadows, and then lurked close to the general of the Formi ant tribe. This kind of ant tribe is very obvious, just like the leader of a soldier ant in a group of ants, with both physique and brain. To come out a circle.
——"Shadow Attack!"
There were no bells and whistles during the battle, Sauron just chopped off the head of the ant general with a single blow.
Then, the unstoppable Formi Ants were in chaos. At this time, Sauron also appeared, almost stabbing one by one. In the blink of an eye, more than ten Formi Ants fell under his knife.
The Formians panicked.
The irresistible enemy made them feel afraid, and when hundreds of Formians died under Sauron's knife, they finally began to retreat.
On the other side, the surviving githzerai kept staring blankly at Sauron, as if they saw some monster, watching Sauron wipe out and repel hundreds of Formy ants by himself.
"Thank you for your help!"
After repelling all the Formi ants, an old githzerai came to Sauron, clasped his hands together and respectfully said, "Thank you for saving my people."
It really is the style of a monk.
The interior of the githzerai is composed of sects, just like the astral fortress of the githyanki, the githzerai consist of different factions of monk styles to form the entire ethnic group.
"Easy to do."
Sauron smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at them and said: "This place should be regarded as a new colony by the Formians. They won't give up easily, and they should come back soon. You'd better move elsewhere."
The old githzerai nodded, then looked sadly at the corpses of his tribe.
But after all, he believed in the teachings of monks, so he quickly calmed down and said, "Your Excellency seems to be from another plane? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Githzerai don't like to owe favors.
It seems that people in the lawful camp don't like to owe favors to others.
Sauron thought for a while and said, "I was entrusted by a friend to find some relics related to the Arcane Empire in the Machine Realm. Do you know where they are?"
During the Arcane Empire period, there was a floating city in the Mechanical Realm.
The elder of the githzerai showed hesitation when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Is it the relic of the Arcane Empire? Are you looking for the floating city?"
"The floating city fell to a city south of the Formians."
"It has now become the base camp of the Formians. I am afraid there are tens of thousands of Formians entrenched in it. I do not recommend that you go there alone."
really!
These ants everywhere are a nuisance.
After hearing the news, Sauron couldn't help but frowned, then nodded and said, "I understand. You guys should leave quickly. The Formians should be back soon."
After speaking, he also turned and walked to the other side.
If the floating city really fell into the city of the Formians, then it would be a very unwise choice for Sauron to go alone, because he couldn't bring anything back at all. However, he had already left his own foreshadowing in the Mechanical Realm very early on. It would be very difficult to clean up the tens of thousands of Formians, but it shouldn't be a big problem if they can borrow their strength.
"Looks like I'm going to find those tower spirits!"
Tower spirits are very high-level construct life, and the most in the machine world are various metals and parts. There are many construct life here, as well as special sanctioners. If these tower spirits want to gain a firm foothold in the machine world If they are not, they will definitely be integrated into the life of the structure, and with their ability, they can quickly create a batch of puppets in the machine world.
There must be a queen in an ant city.
All Sauron had to do was to deal with the Queen, and then the other worms had to find another way. If it didn't work, they could only send the Golem Legion from Modo City.
I just don't know if the cross-plane teleportation battle can be completed with the current alchemy tree in Modo City!
Sauron thought about it seriously, and decided to see if there were any other residents nearby. If they could be provoked to counterattack the Formi Ants, it would be possible to greatly reduce the number of troops invested. Because creatures from other planes exist in the Mechanical Realm, angels, devils, blue dragons, green dragons, mind flayers, etc., may all live in the Mechanical Realm.
However, according to Sauron's habit, he still had to prepare a backhand.
So he transferred his mind to the third layer of the bottomless abyss, where the demon incarnation-Sauron is. Although the mechanical realm is very unfriendly to the demons of the chaotic camp, if he can summon a demon army, it should solve a lot of troubles.
………………
The bottomless abyss, the third layer, the forgotten land.
After slow accumulation and the power blessing brought by the crazy expansion of the territory, Sauron finally made a qualitative change.

………………
The Barlow Balrog who advanced as a demon lord.
Sauron's strength is stronger than other Balor's, and even the average attribute is about 2 points higher. He is now following the route of Balor's lord, and he will definitely need to advance to become a leader in the future.
From the initial creation to the promotion all the way, the strength of the demon incarnation has surpassed most of the demigods.
Now Sauron is equivalent to cultivating a permanent incarnation above a demigod alone, and may even reach a level above a weak divine power in the future!
