Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2014: Removing the Platform!

As time passed, the situation on the local battlefield where the knight golem was located continued to deteriorate.

More and more powerful demons broke into the Dragon Palace and launched a fierce attack on the platform where the knight golem was located.

Although the powerful enemies in the Sky Battlefield no longer resorted to spatial means to distract themselves and launch sneak attacks as they had done before.

However, the barrier that Stella rebuilt gradually began to suffer more and more long-range attacks from the Great Demon.

At a certain moment, the entire barrier collapsed with a deafening roar!

Faced with this situation, the two most powerful demons nearby reacted first, abandoning their opponents and charging toward the platform where the knight golem was located.

Following closely behind, numerous other demons within the Dragon Palace area who were free to act also provided remote support.

Seeing this, the knight golem put away its longbow and gripped the giant spear on its back with its right hand.

Facing a powerful demon-level [Firebat Demon] wielding a giant scythe who quickly rushed close.

Suddenly, streaks of emerald light shone from the magnificent armor on the knight golem's body.

The wind elemental legion followed suit, forming ranks, and then charged towards the [Firebat Demon] wielding a giant scythe, accompanied by knight golems.

A breath later, the knight golem gripped the hilt of its giant spear with both hands and slammed it down in a furious attack!

The deep blue spear blade, bearing fine white cracks, slammed into the Firebat Demon's massive scythe as it swung upwards with tremendous force.

And the next moment.

It was accompanied by a soft "click".

The deep blue gun blade sliced ​​through the scythe's edge, then slashed a gruesome wound across the Firebat Demon's chest!

Looking at the Firebat Demon in front of him, whose originally hideous face was now filled with pain and disbelief.

Driven by inertia, his entire body weakly and helplessly tumbled down, intersecting with the knight golem, and crashed onto the hard ground beneath the tower.

The knight golem withdrew its gaze and then turned its attention to another great demon approaching them.

—The azure-colored [Chains of Wind] were binding his limbs, and a huge storm falcon was relentlessly retreating, its sharp beak striking his burning, crimson chest!

The perspective shifts again, revealing numerous crimson meteors, imbued with the power of the Great Demon, hurtling towards the war weapons positioned on the platform.

The knight golem accelerated and hovered above the giant ballista on the platform.

With a gentle wave of his left arm, the wind elemental legion surrounding him instantly transformed into a sky full of wind arrows amidst a roar, heading towards the crimson meteors attacking from all directions.

After blinking.

Centered on the high-rise platform where they were located, there were intense crimson flames all around, exploding halfway through.

Followed by.

After swinging his giant axe, he shattered several of the powerful fire attacks from the great demon.

His gaze shifted slightly, and he saw Stella approaching with Finia, then speaking to him in a low voice amidst the continued clamor:
"Bernard, provide cover for Jon and his team to dismantle this war machine, then we'll retreat into the tower!"

Upon hearing this, he glanced at Jon and the others who were already dismantling the crossbow's mounting brackets at full speed.

The knight golem nodded quickly.

Before long, after wielding the giant spear, he and Stella repelled several charging demons.

Jon below put the disassembled ballista directly into his specially made large magic pocket, and then shouted:

"Evacuate! Evacuate!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the platform further covered the way as they entered the tower via the pre-prepared staircase.

The knight golem walked last.

Protecting Stella and Finia as they retreated into the tower, Stella watched as the warriors swiftly sealed the entrance, then temporarily added a layer of enhanced earth elemental damage.

After completing all of this, Stella breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"My God, that was so exciting!"
And there's also this [Sinking Sea Heavy Water Crossbow].

It's great, but unfortunately it arrived too late; for now, we can only set it up on the open-air platform.

The name of the war machine they had been protecting was the "Sinking Heavy Water Crossbow".

It is a top-tier war weapon of the initial stage of great magic, imbued with elemental domains.

Each of its attacks is as powerful as a full-force strike from a junior archmage.

In previous battles, it not only provided support to the Sky Battlefield on multiple occasions, but also killed or seriously wounded many enemies!

It is precisely because of this that their enemies continue to launch fierce attacks against them.

The reason it was placed on an open-air platform is...

That's because this thing has a huge impact and amazing aftershocks when it launches an attack.

Moreover, it was only transported to the Dragon Palace half a month ago, and they haven't had time to build a suitable gun emplacement.

So it was temporarily placed on the top floor of the tower, and then protected by a barrier.

Thinking this through, Brand felt that their [North Holland Twilight Giant Crossbow] was still far more powerful. Not only was it much smaller, but it also made very little noise when fired.

However, from another perspective, it was, after all, a byproduct of the North Holland family's research into artifacts.

In terms of both cost and technology, it is not on the same level as the [Sinking Sea Heavy Water Crossbow].

As I was pondering this, Stella leaned closer and said with some concern:
Why aren't you saying anything? Are you injured? Was it from that attack earlier?

Upon hearing this, Finia, who was peering out through the arrow slit, immediately turned her head.

Seeing this, the knight golem shook its head and said:

"No, I was just thinking about something."

By the way, the top floor of that tower next door seems to have been silent for a long time?

Upon hearing this, Jon, who had come down with him, explained:

"Because they had already evacuated, we were the last to leave."

This is all thanks to Master Bernard and Lady Stella's help.

Furthermore, our mission has been successfully completed.

You are now free to move around as you please.

They could either go to the underground refuge to rest, or rely on the Dragon Palace's defenses to continue fighting.

As per Lady Evelyn's orders, I will lead the entourage and accompany the two ladies throughout their journey.

The knight golem said in a deep voice:
"Of course, we should continue fighting, but what is the situation in the West City?"

When asked about this, Jon turned his gaze to one of his subordinate soldiers in charge of intelligence.

The soldier responded seriously:
"According to the latest intelligence from 15 minutes ago, multiple breaches have appeared in the outer wall fortress of the West City."

The demon army is now slowly invading the outer city in the west.

"And we, the Emerald City Guard, are now relying on the city's defenses to launch a sustained attack on the enemy!"

【Emerald City】is a super-large city.

Even if the outer city wall on the west side falls completely, there is still the more solid inner city wall and the city wall of the core area.

In addition, many buildings in various areas of the city were fortified in a fortress-like manner.

In conclusion, it's still a long way off for the demon legion to conquer the Emerald City!
Next, I observed the surrounding situation through the arrow slits of the tower.

Under Brand's control, the knight golem found a suitable position, took out its longbow, and continued to launch ranged attacks on the enemy.

Previously, on the open-air platform, there was only one protective barrier, and we were also surrounded by enemies.

But things are different now. The fortress-like walls of the Dragon Palace, which have been enhanced by magic, have much stronger defensive capabilities.

Moreover, even if the enemy breaches the wall and enters a certain area.

They could simply seal off the lost area and then move to another location to continue fighting!
Against this backdrop, Brand felt a sense of relief.

A short while later, Ivy's surprised voice suddenly reached my ears:

"Why are they still playing games at night?"

Turning her head slightly, she saw Ivy and Chris walking in together.

Brand shrugged and said:
"The actions of the [Radiant Hall] here seem to be aimed at diverting the attention of the frontline legions of the Osia Continent."

The intention was to mislead and entice them to return to their aid.

Overall, the war in the northwest of the continent of Osia is becoming increasingly fierce.

Next, after discussing the current situation...

Catherine and Sonia pushed the food cart into the studio together.

While controlling the knight golem to continue fighting, Brand also enjoyed dinner served by the ladies.

Immediately afterwards, Sonia smiled and said:

"By the way, darling."

This afternoon, Serena asked me to ask when you're free?
She had been preparing for this for a long time, and now she was just waiting to take you to experience the post-apocalyptic landscape of the continent of Vantim.

As she finished speaking, as if recalling some amusing scenarios, a teasing expression unconsciously appeared on Sonia's face.

Brand glanced at him.

Then, in the simulated world, he casually noted down Sonia, who had challenged the family head's authority, in his little notebook, to be severely punished tonight.

Brand waved his hand dismissively and said:

"I will contact her after I finish dealing with the Knight Golem."
