Artificer Adventure Guide

Seeing that Lisanna seemed to have finally figured out the weirdness, Carl did not speak, but patted her shoulder with a look of pity.

Although it was not too late to react now, Lisanna's insight was still a little weak.

If a person made sufficient preparations before the disaster, he was probably not far-sighted, but well-informed.

Before today, neither Carl nor the wind giants and cloud giants who had a deep understanding of the alien vortex could see any signs of breaking the seal, but as early as a few days ago, the Emerald Claw tried to occupy the floating islands around the Eclipse Port, planning to set up a positioning array when the alien vortex changed and summon the undead army.

If there is no trick in this, Carl will be the first to disbelieve it!

But none of this is important now. The important thing is to eliminate all the guys from the Emerald Claw first!

The truth can be explored later. How to survive the current crisis is the top priority.

Giving Lisanna a little time to get angry, Carl dropped the giant sword, looked at Lisanna and said:

"The Emerald Claws seem to be heading towards Eclipse Harbor. I have to destroy them before they cause more damage. You stay here first. Don't worry, I will help you solve the problem of the land being eroded by negative energy later."

Without giving Lisanna a chance to respond, Carl instantly cut off the connection between the two parties, and the mechanical puppet returned to standby mode.

...

Eclipse Harbor, Carl's spaceship.

After waking up from a half-sleep state, Carl opened his eyes and called up the monitoring of various parts of the spaceship, and directly read what happened during this period from V's thinking core.

When Carl noticed that the spaceship's energy was running out, he was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly:

"The energy core's reserves are almost exhausted. Damn it. I should have started the element pool construction work first!"

Seeing that the various guns on the spaceship were still firing attacks, Carl quickly paused the bombardment and gave orders to V: "Let the Iron Ant Type 2 constructs join the battle. The energy of the spaceship can't withstand this level of consumption."

"Okay, Master."

As V's voice sounded in the room, the various guns on the spaceship stopped attacking and retracted into the spaceship.

The Iron Ant Type 2 constructs that were close to the spaceship broke away from the spaceship and fell rapidly towards the streets of Eclipse Port.

Immediately afterwards, Carl turned the direction of the spaceship and flew in the direction of Lisanna and others, which was also the direction where the Emerald Claw Knights came from.

"It will take about 29 minutes for the ship's energy to continue. Forget it, I'll go on stage myself."

Karl sensed the lack of energy in the ship through his connection with V. After a brief thought, he decided to deal with the Emerald Claw himself.

At this time, Hope and others had already woken up, but Karl didn't want them to follow him, so he asked them to stay in the ship on standby.

After re-wearing the power armor and mecha, Karl stood in the ship's arsenal, watching V install various weapons on his mecha, and took a hot melt ship slasher.

If he used this before, it was at most a force to defeat ten skills, then now when he used the mecha to wield the ship slasher again, he could really fight against opponents of the same size.

Looking at the blue sky below, Karl suddenly felt his heart beating violently.

That was his nervousness and expectation for the encounter of facing a strong enemy alone.

"I'm going!"

Karl said in a deep voice and jumped out of the hatch of the ship.

The huge floating gun behind him immediately sprayed out blue flames, carrying the mecha forward.

The radar soon found the target of this trip. The skeleton knights of the Emerald Claw were manipulating six airships at this time, flying towards this side in a herringbone formation like wild geese.

Holding the ship-slashing knife in his right hand tightly, Carl raised the left arm of the mecha.

The mechanical arm changed and rolled, and the original barrel merged with the arm, becoming stronger and more terrifying in caliber.

The blue arc wandered in the barrel, and the mecha calculated the enemy's speed and wind speed, and then fired a shot directly under Carl's command.

The moment the shell was fired, the white sound barrier cloud temporarily obscured Carl's sensor vision, but the shell flew towards the target accurately and hit the bull's eye a few seconds later.

The air pirates and Emerald Claw members on the airship had not yet reacted to what happened. The huge impact had torn the airship apart, and the strong airflow tore everything around, and the mortal professionals were turned into meat paste at the first sight.

"Enemy attack!"

Without time to mourn for the fallen airship and the companions on it, the remaining members of the Emerald Claws did not delay for a moment and immediately carried out tactical evasion.

At the same time, the skeleton knights on one of the airships immediately killed several human air pirates and filled their flesh and blood into a certain extraordinary machine.

As the machine was running, an evil breath spread in the airship.

"It seems that you have failed? Or did you encounter a powerful enemy before reaching your destination?"

Accompanied by a hoarse voice, a skeleton warrior wearing terrifying plate armor walked out of the black mist released by the machine.

Under the helmet, it seems that the vicious light burning in the eye sockets of the knight's skull can be seen.

Death Knights, undead creatures with a challenge level of up to 17, are usually transformed from fallen paladins who do not try to atone their sins.

Except for liches, they are the undead closest to legend.

"Sir Thors! We were attacked. The airship was directly torn apart by the enemy's attack. I'm afraid we can't deal with such an enemy."

Kneeling on one knee in front of the Death Knight, the Skeleton Knight quickly reported the encounter to the other party.

However, the Death Knight named Thors sneered and mocked: "Every time we carry out a mission, it is either windy or rainy. Isn't the Emerald Claw the most crazy terrorist organization in Khorvaire? Why do you seem to be persecuted now?"

Raising his hand, a hideous black horse appeared out of thin air. Its body was as black as ink, its mane was burning with flames, and sparks would even burst out when the horse's hooves stepped on it. It was the mount that many Death Knights loved very much - Nightmare.

After turning over and riding on it, the Death Knight looked up and saw a huge spaceship in the sky in the distance and a mecha flying towards him.

With a sinking heart, the Death Knight suddenly felt that the words he had just used to mock his subordinates seemed a bit heavy.

As a fallen paladin who had been transformed into a death knight before the Final War, although he died in the early stage of the war, he was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing in front of him.

‘Damn it, these good-for-nothings actually provoked a fully armed strange machine master? Although the strength of the strange machine master itself is not good, his weapons are not vegetarian! Damn it! Let me fight that kind of guy? ’

Looking at the mecha that was gradually getting bigger in his field of vision, the Death Knight Soth squeezed his legs on the horse's belly and flew up directly.

The hooves of Nightmare seemed to step on the invisible stairs in the void, carrying the Death Knight to charge.

Looking at this special combination, Carl immediately turned the ship-slashing knife in his hand. Under the rapid penetration of magic, the black blade was rapidly turning red and gradually turning to orange-gold.

The jet behind him started to work again, and the speed of the entire mecha's forward charge suddenly increased.

When the distance between the mecha and the Death Knight was less than ten meters, Carl manipulated the mecha to turn its body, and the hot melt ship slashing knife in his hand also began to move in a circle.

He wanted to recreate the scene of killing the Skeleton Knight with one blow on the floating island.

But obviously, the Death Knight is more difficult to kill than the Skeleton Knight.

"Buzz!"

As the blade quickly passed through the air, a buzzing sound came from far to near, and the ship slashing knife chopped towards the Death Knight's head.

Facing Carl's attack, the Death Knight used his 4th-level spell - Fear Slash.

During the duration of this spell, the next time the caster hits the opponent with a melee weapon attack, his weapon will attack the enemy's body and mind at the same time.

Compared with the Death Knight's 5th-level spell Annihilation Wave, this move has stronger single-target lethality and takes into account both the body and the mind.

If Carl was an ordinary mechanic, even with a mecha to resist, he might be killed by the Death Knight because of the attack on his mind.

However, Carl is not just a simple mechanic, and his ship-slashing sword arrived at the position first.

In the whistling wind, the Death Knight's attempt to dodge did not completely avoid Carl's attack. His plate armor was cut by Carl, and his tall body was broken into two parts from the waist.

At the same time, his Fear Slash also hit Carl's mecha.

The upper half of the Death Knight's body soared into the sky and stared at Carl's mecha, as if he wanted to judge Carl's state from the subsequent reaction of the mecha.

But just when he was expecting Carl to be affected by the Fear Slash, the face of the mecha that had been covered by the mask suddenly appeared.

"You seem to be looking forward to the effect of the move just now?"

When he heard this sentence, the Death Knight had a premonition that the situation was not good.

And the reality was just like this.

The ship-slashing sword that had just cut the Death Knight in half was still swinging sideways due to inertia, and the next second, Carl had already controlled the mecha to twist its body in the direction of inertia, and then connected a jump chop in a row.

Looking at the orange-gold blade that fell from the sky, the Death Knight subconsciously wanted to use his legs to control the nightmare under his crotch to escape, but he forgot that his lower body had been cut off and was now following the nightmare to escape.

At this moment, the Death Knight suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Born as a noble, he followed his parents' arrangements and married a wife he didn't like.

Became a paladin, and achieved good merits on the battlefield, inherited his father's castle, and had a fiefdom that matched his military exploits.

Later, he found a mistress outside, so he killed his wife.

Because he betrayed his wife, he became a fallen paladin.

In the end, the mistress eloped with someone, and later came back to say that she had his child and hoped that the child could inherit the title.

He killed the mistress and the child, died in the castle, and resurrected as a death knight.

"Ah~, is this my life? How sad!"

As the blade fell, the Death Knight's consciousness dissipated.

He would re-condense and revive after an unknown period of time, until he got tired of this kind of eternal life and tried to make up for his mistakes, so that he could finally be free.
