Ark Undead

The moment he truly found the answer was on the night Therese left Victoria, when the dragon, stained by the abyss, soared through the sky.

Will that ancient dragon really cause Victoria a great deal of damage?

I'm afraid not.

Did Theresis not consider that even though he already knew the Undead were in the city-state of Victoria, he still allowed the dragons to appear?

The answer is that the dragon wasn't there to lure the Undead at all.

What Theresis was trying to lure out was actually the steam knight hidden in Londinium.

Theresis didn't believe that a country's capital city wouldn't have one or two high-level combatants.

But no Steam Riders appeared in the Lower City until the dragon fell to the Undead and the Glasgow Gang.

It was then that Therese truly became convinced that all of Victoria's steam knights had perished, disappearing with time from the history books of a century ago.

It was precisely because of that initial probing that Lentinium fell so quickly.

When Theresis realized that Lentinium no longer had Steam Knights, Lentinium truly lost its last layer of protection.

However, he probably didn't expect that.

The steam knight I've been longing for for so long has finally appeared.

That night, a steam knight appeared. But unfortunately, the first person he ran into was an immortal.

Both sides considered each other enemies, and a battle ensued in the woods.

Although the Steam Knight was ultimately cut in half at the waist by the Undead with a single blow from his greatsword, the Undead were deeply impressed by him.

Since a steam knight appeared that night, does that mean there really aren't any steam knights in Victoria?

Is it possible that the steam knights of that time have disappeared, and the true steam knights will only stand on the earth according to the will of the people?

"Quickly! Clear the entire transport route! I don't want to see a single obstacle on the road!"

Sass's eyes reddened; he knew this was a critical moment.

The soldiers of the Third Army are resisting the demons from Kazdel at the entrance to the upper city, and what can save them is the power of these ordinary people.

The huge mechanical right hand was lowered down and rolled on a huge iron net for a moment before being tied to the net by dozens of workers and then put onto an oversized transport vehicle used to transport huge objects.

This is an underground transport tunnel that was used when the Upper Town of Victoria was built, for transporting huge steel structures.

And now, it can also be used to create "knights" for the rebels.

The generals of the First and Second Armies also took off their helmets and watched as the resistance workers on the ground got to work at the fastest speed they had ever been.

"One, two, three, let's go!"

"One, two, three, push!"

The road gate was opened, and amidst the workers' shouts, the huge transport vehicle was slowly pushed onto the tracks.

The sound of steel rubbing against steel seems to originate from the very core of the human spirit.

The moment the massive transport vehicle touched the rails, all the nodes on the road ahead were lit up, and green lights illuminated the way, brightening people's ears and sight.

"All assembly workers, get on the bus! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

As Sass jumped onto the transport vehicle, he shouted to all the workers through his communicator.

“We only have twenty minutes to assemble it, and the shipping alone is expected to take ten minutes. Tell me, can you assemble it in ten minutes?”

"can!"

A deafening shout rang out from the transport vehicle, no less powerful than the soldiers' united battle cry.

Everyone was radiant, their eyes filled with confidence and love for their home.

These are knights born from their hands, and for the first time in Victoria's history in the past century, working-class people have stepped onto such a grand stage.

The turning point of this war will be born from their hands.

"Alright! The area ahead is cleared. Transport vehicles, you can start!"

Sass waved frantically at the person on the other end of the console.

As the button was pressed, the sounds of steam and gears filled the air as the transport vehicle slowly moved forward, heading towards the center of the five infected settlements in everyone's sight.

At the same time, the same thing was happening in the other four infected communities.

These workers from different neighborhoods may never have met. But they all know that in other parts of the city, there are fellow countrymen just like them.

Filled with enthusiasm, everyone secretly began this mysterious reproduction technique, following a blueprint from a hundred years ago.

The two legion commanders watched the bustling scene in disbelief. This continued until the transport vehicles had completely entered the transport tunnel.

"How do you feel?"

Scout stood beside the horn and asked softly.

"It's very impressive."

Horn's arm trembled slightly; she was a warrior who favored this kind of violent aesthetic. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used the giant shield, which concealed turret launchers, as her weapon.

"I never imagined... that one day the turning point of a war would be in the hands of these... ordinary people."

"It existed a long time ago, but you weren't even born yet."

Right next to the bugle, a general with a full head of white hair suddenly spoke up.

“My father was a participant in that war. According to him, the Steam Knight was the most magnificent steam-powered creation he had ever seen in his life.”

"He witnessed that war, and he also witnessed the return of power from the king to the common people. The Steam Knight will forever be an unyielding banner."

"It's an honor."

The elderly man with white hair hugged the helmet tightly to his chest.

"I hope to witness his return in my lifetime."

Scout nodded as he listened to the old coach's words, and then asked a question.

"Then shall we go together to witness its birth?"

"Look at how it looks from assembly to standing up?"

The general smiled.

"It would be my great honor."

...

Five different components have departed from various infected communities and are heading towards the central factory area in downtown Victoria.

There were still more than ten minutes left until the twenty-minute deadline, but the pressure was no less.

The wall built by the soldiers of the Third Army with their own flesh and blood did not advance even a single step despite their willingness to sacrifice their lives.

Instead, the Abyss Legion from Kazdel advanced more than ten meters into the lower city.

Meanwhile, strange occurrences are happening in various parts of the lower city.

"Doctor, we have a job."

W stood on the city wall of the lower city, her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at the white mist that had suddenly disappeared from the lower city, and spoke.

"Theresis can't sit still anymore; what he's been hiding in the lower city is about to be released."

“I can see.”

The Doctor remained seated in Rhodes Island's command center.

Because the soldiers of Victoria held off the main force for them, these monsters, which were difficult for ordinary people to deal with, had to be dealt with by the force that the doctor had carefully prepared.

"Attention all Rhodes Island personnel, in the lower city of Londinium, near every infected settlement, there are unidentified energy sources and the mineral content in the air is rising sharply."

"Allies who have come to support Rhodes Island, it is time for you to step up your efforts."

As he spoke, the doctor continued to move his fingers.

However, at that moment, the door to the command room was opened.

"PhD!"

Amiya rushed in, still panting.

"Mr. Undying is gone, and the campfire in his room has been extinguished!"

The doctor nodded slightly and reached out to rub Amiya's head.

"Don't rush, think again, is there a sword stuck in the campfire?"

"No, that strange, twisted sword has disappeared too!"

Amiya shook her head.

The doctor chuckled and patted Amiya's head.

"That's good, he's ready."

...

The moment the doctor gave the order, those who had been mixed in with the three legions pressed their earpieces and slowly withdrew from the main force in a corner unnoticed by anyone.

Following the professor's directions, Hoshiguma arrived at an abandoned building.

She took off the headset and looked back at the alley behind her.

"Sirs, we've arrived."

Then a dark figure quietly emerged from under the eaves.

The young faces fixed their gaze on the building that had been abandoned for months.

"Is this the demon's lair?"

The leading soldier sighed softly.

Wearing a black-patterned helmet and fine fish-scale armor, he held a beast-face with intricate carvings in his right hand, exuding an imposing aura, while his left hand rested on the hilt of the inscribed greatsword at his waist.

"If it weren't for the overwhelming demonic aura here, I wouldn't have been able to pinpoint the source. Thank you for leading the way, Miss Hoshiguma."

"It's nothing. It's an honor to witness the skills of all the Imperial Guards in person."

Hoshiguma spoke very politely, but she was genuinely curious.
