Without arguing about the name, Mitris directly accepted the title of No. 18.

No. 1 on the side had already reacted by now, so it honestly told Carl about Moore's concerns.

This made Carl feel warm in his heart, but at the same time he felt that Old Deng seemed to be cursing him.

"Not yet."

After putting No. 1 in the car, Carl refused the suggestion to return to the college immediately.

Looking up at the duo of spies standing nearby, he waved, signaling everyone to follow him.

Coming back to the Titan war figurine that only had an appearance, Carl's eyes lit up with psychic light and scanned the thing from beginning to end.

Suddenly, there was a flicker of light in Carl's eyes.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid attacked quickly, drilling into the core of the Titan Warforged along its skeleton.

After poking a certain part using a method similar to that of opening the monastery statue, the huge war skeleton suddenly moved, revealing the passage below.

However, the next second, Carl immediately recalled the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and covered the entrance of the passage with it. He turned around and said to everyone in a hurry:

"Get down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of fire burst out from the passage.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid was blown everywhere.

“There’s someone inside!”

The fastest-reacting shadow immediately became alert, Nia took out her wand, and Lisanna took out a gun from her dimensional bag.

Black smoke came out of the passage, and along with the black smoke, there were three "ninjas" wearing black clothes and covering their faces.

Karl and his friends unexpectedly ran into the monks from the Shadow Sect by coincidence.

"Leave them to me!"

Almost at the same time as the three ninjas appeared, Shadow rushed towards them.

The silver chain darts were covered with a layer of spiritual energy and flew towards two of the ninjas.

Seeing that he was not the target of the first round of attacks, the remaining ninja immediately took out two things that shocked Carl - revolvers.

"I know this thing will be imitated soon, but isn't it too fast?"

Sighing in his heart, Carl summoned the power armor again, and then gave the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid a gathering command.

The ninja must have practiced his shooting skills hard. When he saw Carl rushing towards him, he calmly fired his gun to meet his target.

But just as the bullet was about to hit Carl, the Moon Spirit Marrow transformed into a mercury curtain that blocked the bullet.

The powerful kinetic energy almost penetrated the thin liquid like a water curtain, but the close distance seemed like an insurmountable chasm, blocking all attacks so simply and unpretentiously.

"bite!"

The revolver's cylinder was opened, and the ninja actually tried to change the type of ammunition at this time.

But although he moved quickly, there were people who were faster than him.

"Shua~"

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air rang in everyone's ears, and Mitris, who was emitting steam all over her body, ran behind the ninja without anyone knowing when.

The mantis knife with a flashing cold light shot out from the arm, aiming at the ninja's head.

Although the ninja reacted, the attack range of the mantis sword was too large.

The knife came down and dark red blood spurted out.

At the same time, the shadow on the other side used the power of psychic energy to pierce the throat of a ninja.

But the remaining ninja fought back and forth with her.

"Get out of the way!"

Gathering the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid in his hands, Carl controlled it to transform into a Gatling gun again, and then shouted loudly to the shadow on the battlefield.

Ying immediately dodged and hid aside.

Then, the Gatling gun, emitting blue flames, poured out countless bullets.

The ninja, who had originally been dismissive of firearms, actually used two long swords to split the magic bullets.

But the Gatling gun's firing rate is no joke.

When he failed one time, the bullet taught him the importance of humility, but the price was his life.

A tiny mistake immediately triggered a series of subsequent collapses. After the first bullet hit the body, the Shadow Sect ninja was instantly torn apart by the storm of bullets.

If Carl's rate of fire was a little lower, the ninja might be able to perfectly block the hail of bullets like a certain version of Deadpool.

After all, monks have a strong resistance to flying items.

Cass and Hong were both stunned at this point.

Their impression of Carl is still stuck on his time in Sarn, but Carl's combat capability today is more than just improved compared to before.

After a moment of silence, she finally remembered her mission.

Showing everyone her identification as a spy of the Kingdom's Eye, Cass bowed.

"I am a spy from the Kingdom's Eye. I was ordered to come here today to investigate the incident. But now it seems that the matter is no longer something we can handle alone. I hope you can lend a hand!"

I don’t know if it was because she learned the lesson from Carl in Sarn, but this time Cass was very humble.

Nia and Carl guessed that the two men were probably Nia's father's men, so they nodded and agreed.

"You, Nia, Lisanna, and No. 1 stay here and I will go down with this Warforged, Shadow, and No. 18."

Karl swept his eyes over everyone and quickly assigned the tasks.

Without waiting for Kasi to bargain, he activated the dragon crystal and jumped directly into the passage.

The firelight illuminated the situation in the passage. Ying and Mitris jumped down shortly after him, using the cracks in the bricks on the walls of the passage to jump back and forth to reduce the force of the downward rush.

Hong was even more straightforward. He stabbed his arm blade directly into the wall, slowed down and jumped down.

At the bottom of the passage, Carl landed smoothly in a standard superhero appearance posture.

The old man who had been pretending to be the gatekeeper had changed his clothes and was standing in the shadow of the passage ahead, looking at him with regret.

"It would be great if you could just leave. This matter is not something you can get involved in."

Although he said nice things, the old man was not at all ambiguous when he took action.

A blue magical light flashed, and an arcane turret appeared in front of him.

Blue and white energy gathered at the muzzle, shocking Carl so much that his scalp went numb.

Carl only had time to shout to the three people above, "Don't come down yet," before he activated the fire element in the dragon crystal again and rushed straight towards the other party.

The old man was obviously also a machinist, and a magic artillery master at that.

The knowledge Carl had learned clearly told him that when encountering a magic artilleryman, it was best to kill the opponent in the first few seconds of the exchange of fire.

Otherwise, you will have to endure the enemy's continuous high-explosive attacks.

Seeing Carl getting closer and closer to him, the old man was not panicked.

"Fire!"

Following a deep roar, the air in front of the muzzle twisted.

Carl, who was rushing forward, felt dizzy and then he was hit directly against the wall by a cannon.

A human-shaped hole was smashed directly on the wall of the passage by his power armor. As he struggled, broken rocks fell down sparsely.

Force Field Ballista, one of the types of arcane turrets of the Artillerist, can fire force field damage.

It must be said that in this narrow underground passage, the old man can hold out for a long time with this cannon.

"Are you okay?"

Just at this moment, Ying and No. 18 had reached the bottom. Seeing Carl in such a miserable state, they asked in unison with concern.

"No big deal, just a little dizzy."

Thanks to the shock absorption of the power armor, otherwise Carl might have really died here this time.

"Hmph! Young man, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless."

The muzzle of the cannon glowed again, and the old man stood in the middle of the passage, with an imposing manner that one man could block the passage of ten thousand.

"Bah! Who do you think you are? You are a level 9 magic artillery master who might not even survive the first round of bombardment on the battlefield. How dare you act so arrogant in front of me?"

After sensing the damage to the power armor, Carl narrowed his eyes and sneered.

It wasn't that he started to speak foul language after being attacked, but that he was trying to disrupt the old man's thoughts with his words.

He was certain that the opponent had not held back in the previous attack, so he believed that the old man's level of machinist could not be higher than level 12.

But if it was level 12, Carl felt that the opponent should use fireball to attack him.

"You little brat! You have such sharp teeth! Die!"

I don’t know which sentence touched the old man’s sore spot, but he instantly entered the red-temperature state.

A pair of eyes were filled with bloodshot, and another force field attack was fired out again.

But Carl is not going to go ahead with it head on.

After grabbing Ying and No. 18, Carl took off on the spot.

“Boom!”

With a dull thud, the force field shell hit the human-shaped pit that Carl had just created, making the already dilapidated wall even more pitiful.

The "crackling" sound of shattering gradually spread along the cracks, making people feel scared.

Placing Shadow and No. 18 back on the wall, Carl took out a missile staff and loaded it into a groove on his wrist.

When he landed back on the bottom, he released as many magic missiles as possible.

The old man naturally used the force field crossbow to fight back, but the damage on both sides was force field damage. When two force field damages in different directions collided, each would lose a part.

With the help of this characteristic, Carl started a wave of action.

Several magic missiles swarmed forward, and Carl followed closely behind, leaving a long tail of flame behind him.

Another force field crossbow was fired, but the old man's attack was completely offset by numerous magic missiles.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man immediately put away the summoned arcane turret, turned around and fled into the door behind him.

The remaining magic missiles hit the door, shattering it into pieces.

Looking at the scene behind the door, Karl's pupils shrank.

"Is this a workshop for producing war figurines?"

In the space behind the door, semi-finished war figurines are being assembled by machines.

Artificial fibers replacing muscles, alchemical solutions acting as blood, and that iconic, crude mechanical body.

Everything indicates that the people here, with the help of the cover of the abandoned factory above, are producing large quantities of unactivated war figurines.

"Plop"

Ying, No. 18 and Hong jumped down again.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Ying and No. 18 were fine, but War Terracotta Red became uneasy.

"No wonder the mission this time is to investigate the unauthorized manufacture of weapons. Are these guys planning to start a war?"

During the Final War when the Warforged had not yet acquired thoughts, their prototypes were mechanical soldiers created to make up for the shortage of soldiers.

Mechanical soldiers serve a similar purpose to the Undead soldiers of Karrnath, but are cheaper and more rigid.
