Chapter 661 The war begins!
Click, click! Click!
There was a sound of mechanical transmission, and the densely packed mechanical locking mechanisms behind the door suddenly snapped shut one by one, with the lock tongues pressing the door firmly to the ground.
The entire hall suddenly became quiet.
People looked at the locked door in confusion, then gradually focused their attention on Hela, who was slowly walking forward in the hall.
Ta-ta-ta.
Every time she took a step, there was a sound of metal clashing. There was no trace of flesh and blood on her face or body. The extremely precise mechanical structure was like a dense swarm of worms, moving slowly on her body.
The people on both sides subconsciously made way for her, and immediately a mechanical priest in a red robe followed.
Gaia looked around vigilantly and found that from those seemingly inconspicuous pipes and secret doors, believers of the Mechanical Temple were rapidly pouring out, holding all kinds of complicated guns and weapons in their hands.
"Believers of the Mechanical Spirit, devout warriors of the Temple!"
As Hela walked and spoke loudly, the people in the banquet hall finally sensed something was wrong. Some looked around frantically, looking for an exit, while others stepped forward to question them, but were forced back by the black muzzles of guns.
Hela stopped walking. She had already walked to the wall facing the main entrance of the banquet hall. The wall was covered with a thick curtain.
Hela turned around, her face made of steel and gears was as cold as ice. The power reactor in her chest was spinning rapidly, and the red color was like a volcano about to erupt.
Zoe and Gaia looked at each other and slowly backed away, trying not to attract attention.
But soon, both of them froze in their tracks.
Not only the two of them, the entire hall fell into silence.
Behind Hela, the huge curtain fell.
The black muzzle behind was revealed.
A gun muzzle almost as big as the entire wall.
Zoe swallowed and whispered in a trembling voice, "Gaia, you're still being conservative. They didn't plant a bomb, they just put the entire banquet hall at the mouth of the cannon."
Gaia's eye twitched.
"Warriors of the Temple, for the sake of the sacred machinery, for the sake of the spirit of machinery, annihilate the enemies of the Temple!"
A sharp metallic friction sound came from the black muzzle, followed by a dull humming sound, as if a machine was gradually starting up and slowly began to operate.
The mechanical priests who had surrounded the crowd drew their weapons and pointed them at the guests.
"Damn it! You're rebelling! You've betrayed the great Candlelight!"
A priest shouted angrily, but then a bullet blew off his head and the candlelight did not protect him.
The sound of gunfire seemed like a signal to start fighting, and fighting broke out in the entire hall in an instant.
The mechanical priests were numerous and had firepower, so they should have crushed the enemy one-sidedly.
But most of those surrounded were high-ranking members of the Candlelight Society, and the high-ranking members of the Candlelight Society were often extraordinary people.
In an instant, at least a dozen people simultaneously mobilized their extraordinary powers.
Dense swarms of bullets were fired, and ordinary people fell to the ground in panic, but the last group of Candlelight Society priests who came in were mostly still standing.
"How dare a mortal flame compete with candlelight?"
The old man standing in the front suddenly slammed the scepter in his hand, and an invisible force surged around him. The mechanical priests noticed him and opened fire at him.
Those spinning bullets stopped in front of him and could not move forward an inch.
But this was his limit. Soon, the scepter he was holding in one hand became held in both hands, and finally he had to hold it with great difficulty.
"What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and do it!"
The monks of the Candlelight Society around responded one after another, but they were unable to break through due to the firepower of the Mechanical Temple.
The old man saw that the situation was not right, his eyes turned, and he was about to speak when the whole church suddenly shook.
Bang!
Many mechanical monks fell to the ground.
There was another dull thud. Zoe and Gaia, lying on the ground, looked at each other, both of them a little puzzled. "Isn't this something the Mechanical Temple did?"
"It looks like this is probably the Candlelight Society's trick, right?"
Indeed, some mechanical monks fell down due to the vibration, and the firepower suddenly weakened a bit.
Several monks of the Candlelight Order seized the opportunity and rushed towards the mechanical priests!
One of them was halfway through the charge when his foot suddenly slipped and he staggered. By the time he steadied himself, he saw several black gun muzzles pointing at him.
He immediately wanted to activate the extraordinary power of [Investigator] to block the bullet, but the next moment, a trace of fear appeared on his face.
The fall he just made caused his arm to cramp. The abnormality in his body made him unable to concentrate on influencing the Sea of ​​Unconsciousness, but instead the anchor was washed away by the tide in the sea.
The ability was delayed for a moment, and most of the bullets were blocked, but a few bullets still hit his body.
He looked at the blood on his chest in confusion and slowly fell down.
Unfortunately, the bullet went right through his heart.
Apart from the unlucky guy, the remaining [Investigators] successfully rushed into the Mechanical Priests' line, like a hot knife cutting into butter, and blood and flesh flew everywhere in an instant.
[Investigator] has almost no weaknesses and is also very good at frontal combat, which refers to frontal combat with other extraordinary people.
But when facing mortals, it is a one-sided massacre.
He didn't need a weapon, he just stretched out his hand, passed through the red priest robe, parted the flesh, and grabbed a still beating heart.
He crushed it casually, and the hot blood that was squeezed out of his heart was thrown into the faces of a group of believers nearby. The next moment, the [Investigator] rushed over and crushed a path of flesh and blood.
The believers of the Mechanical Temple nearby immediately turned their guns around and pulled the trigger without hesitation, not caring that there were many friendly troops over there.
The situation suddenly became a mess.
Zoe and Gaia were lying on the ground cautiously. They had now hidden under the table and were looking at the battlefield outside.
"Well, who do you think will win?"
"The Candlelight Society, right? They may be small in number, but their combat effectiveness is truly formidable. The Mechanical Templar's firepower has gradually diminished, and look at their weapons."
Gaia pointed at the muskets in the hands of the mechanical priests.
"Although it looks like a weapon capable of rapid fire, it's actually just a few extra barrels and triggers stacked on top of each other. It's essentially like several guns strapped together. It's not even as advanced as Jeremiah's previous duckbill musket. They'll run out of bullets soon!"
"They shouldn't be short of supplies here, right?"
"Not necessarily. I think these people are just stalling for time. The cannon over there should be ready to fire soon. This sound doesn't seem right!"
She pointed at the cannon port on the wall.
