Chapter 1380: Chapter 1378: Siege City

[Perception]

Any individual with the ‘upgrade’ special trait will enhance their perception, more or less, during the upgrading process.

For The King, who has merged with the Truth and created his own world, perception often covers his domain, allowing easy access to the information he desires.

The father of the black dragons – Tepulo possesses a pair of ‘Dragon Eyes’ that penetrate the Truth. When he surveys the land in his colossal form, all surface information of the world becomes visible to him.

All life forms suppressed by the Dragon Veins can be seen by him.

When he overlooked London City, a trace of confusion flickered between his dragon eyes.

“Hmm?

Has Samir been completely devoured by madness? What a pity… The bloodline of the mountain giants will lose a part again.

Unexpectedly, there are several ‘humans’ in this city with the bloodline of the Dragon Race, most impure, but a small part possess extremely high purity, truly unimaginable.

If the war ends smoothly, we should take them back as prisoners of war to study thoroughly.

Speaking of which, why have I only detected two Kings?

One of them only meets the strength criteria and does not actually possess a kingly position.

Besides, there are several in the city who are infinitely close to being Kings… It’s strange, according to the Balance laws, shouldn’t the number of Kings be equal?

Blacksmith, what are your observations on this end?”

The Blacksmith Third Generation – Feng B. Kreman (Titan) stands erect on the dragon’s spine.

Metal rings are equally spaced on all parts of his body, and like a Count, his face also wears a ring of metal eye protection, while his mouth and nose are covered by a mask.

The Blacksmith’s perception is not through his senses, but through ‘touch’.

The iron rings worn all over his body can spread his sense of touch without loss, even using the iron in the environment to extend his perception indefinitely, similar to a MESH network.

Currently, with the steel scales on the black dragon’s body, the Blacksmith easily radiates his touch to the entirety of London City.

The perceptual information obtained is the same as that of the black dragon.

Although there are many Mythic Bodies in London City, only two have truly reached The King… even their overall forces are less, only half.

As the Blacksmith corroborates information with the black dragon, a conclusion is immediately reached.

“Half of their forces are active outside the city.

What are these Demons thinking? They’re not all defending inside the city at such a time… Could it be that they previously identified the original site of Makoms City and dispatched half their forces to secretly strike at home? Haha, that’s interesting.

Or have they given up on this battle and decided to sacrifice half of their forces here to resist stubbornly, buying enough time for the other half to seek space equipment to escape from other regions of the planet?

They have handed us such a great opportunity so directly… quickly inform the main body to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

It’s too easy, I initially thought it would be troublesome.”

The Blacksmith very confidently gives his viewpoint:

“The Demons would never give up the battle.

It’s highly possible what you mentioned first, they arranged half their forces to target the original site of Makoms in a secret attack, but unfortunately, combined with the main body’s technology, we can achieve a [Moving City].

I’ve already used your steel scales to complete detection within a fifty-kilometer radius, and I found no Demons hiding beneath the sand.

Now is indeed the best time to attack.

Since there are only two Kings staying in the city, there’s no need to wait for the Beheading King.”

Even though the current situation seems greatly advantageous, the Blacksmith still wears a serious expression… In his view, even if the Demon Group shows vulnerabilities, each step must still be taken cautiously.

Using the interconnected metal sensors, the Blacksmith relayed the intelligence to the main body.

Still hovering in the air, Makoms City launched [12] crystal pillars about a hundred meters high from its metallic surface, resembling a clock dial, equidistantly positioned around the outskirts of London.

‘Space Gem’

The good stuff brought by Blacksmith from the Holy Level World, it is a type of portable space item that can carry mass life transfers.

Lifeforms inside Makoms City only need to enter Portals marked with [01~12] to be precisely transported to the surrounding areas of the Space Gems.

Buzz~ The resonance of the gem, texts from the Holy Level World emerge on the surface, activating the gem.

Pillars of light, one after the other, descend around the gem.

Giant Dragons, Sin Spirits, craftsmen, and intelligent lifeforms.

Each gem is surrounded by a strong aura, at least one Mythic Body presides over each… one of whom is the Sin Spirit–Thousand Sins. Cavalier, who had previously encountered Han Dong and others in the Demon World.

In a blink of an eye, the assembled strength from four worlds has completely encircled London City.

Makoms inherently has its own defense systems, not requiring any troops to remain inside, only a small portion of the core CPU is needed for intelligent calculations.

Lifeforms from four worlds, after months of ‘deep interaction,’ have perfectly integrated some characteristics from other worlds.

For example, a Sin Spirit’s skeletal body has undergone purification and modification by craftsmen; its bone quality has become sturdier and energy transport more efficient, and it is also equipped with a full-metal intelligent armor.

However.

There is something strange.

The overview of hostile forces gathering around the outskirts of London does not include any beings reaching King Level.

As of now, The King revealed are still just the black dragon obscured in the sky and the blacksmith on its back.

[London – Big Ben]

As the headquarters of the Night Church.

This is also an incredibly important command tower during combat. Early on, when the Expeditionary Army settled in London, the ‘Eye of Expedition’ used during the march to contact Holy City and detect long-range information was contributed and perfectly integrated with the detection devices inside Big Ben.

In the absence of a magnetic storm, it can precisely capture detailed surroundings within fifty kilometers of London.

The expansive enemy force’s information has been fully captured by the Eye of Expedition, and then conveyed through ‘Dark Messages’ to the stationed troops in different regions for the fastest troop deployment.

However, there is something that puzzles everyone.

“The intelligence brought back by Han Dong only indicates that one King is trapped, why isn’t the other showing up? Could it be hidden within the metal main city, preparing for the next bombardment?

Strange…

Currently, London has no protective barriers, and with their perception, they should be able to accurately grasp our situation, clearly understanding our current lack of forces, with only two kings stationed.

By logic, they should immediately mobilize all their forces to carry out a devastating strike on us.”

The Great Demon Leader right now has his eyes closed, connected to the Eye of Expedition through special means, carefully examining the besieging forces… subtly discerning something, he whispers:

“You’re right, the enemy will surely deploy all troops, attempting to flatten London in one fell swoop.

Their bombardment has been successfully restrained by us, and the energy required for a massively powerful bombardment cannot be realized in a short term.

The third King might be mingled within the besieging troops through some special means we have never seen before, or maybe hidden in a place unknown to us.”

Just at that moment.

A pressure stronger than before descends from the sky.

“Let this old man test this group of demons first…”

Black shadows, molten lava, also containing an indescribable energy.

A mountain-like black Dragon Claw descends vertically.

It’s not just about the immense pressure… The energy symbolizing destruction flows between the Dragon Scales, coupled with the Blacksmith’s [Destruction Armor].

During the crushing phase, a highly destructive ‘Destruction Shock’ will also be delivered.

At the same moment.

The Thames within London City begins to stir.
