Chapter 2: Chapter 2

*POV of a certain Pixie or fairy*

'We were victorious in the conquest of both Arcana and Myrran, why are me and my squad still here' She thought. Remembering all the battles she fought and who she fought with. She remembers those stinky red dogs, giant lizards that couldnt fly, and the ones that did, even those flying giant chickens. She even remember riding on air currents, walking mudballs, and those big walking water people that she often went to take a bath in. She remembers all the fun she's had, both fighting and hanging out with her fellow comrades fighting for the great sorcerer lord, Goldie Locks. What she wouldnt give to be outside this place once again, what she wouldnt do to stay in that world, or to remain permanently, to exist. She would fight a hundred, no a thousand, no a million more battles fighting for any sorcerer lord, though she would prefer if it was Lord Goldie Locks, as his mana felt pleasant. She and her squad mates where thinking the same thing, as they were connected through a magical link which allowed them to communicate with each other, without verbally speaking to each other.

Time continued to pass, and this pixie didnt like being here, she didnt like this empty nothingness, she wanted to fly again, she wanted to feel the air of the world, she didnt want to be nothing, she didnt want to forget or be forgotten, she wanted to exist! As she was caught up in her dreary thoughts she felt a tug, a mana tug that she was very familiar with. This same mana is what continued to heal her, to revive her, to summon her over and over again. She could exist!! She will not be forgotten! She will fight battles, she will fight Wars, to exist she, will become everything the sorcerer lord needs, and she will become warrr!!

In her thoughts during the summoning she yells out "WAAAARRRR!!!", but whether the sorcerer lord heard it or not, she was committed, they were committed, to do what ever it took to continue to exist.

*Back to main POV*

Traveling thru normal means towards Numeria was quite time consuming, it has already been a couple of months, and not wanting to deal with any border guards, or things like that, i maintained our invisibility. Along the way we encountered more bandits, i obtained more points and more corpses, thats probably why it took us over a month going thru the River Kingdoms. Its ok though, because i did manage to free some, wrongly accused individuals, as well as some political prisoners, (according the them), and many, many slaves and peasants. in a few cities in Pitax, and other local territories, stealing from the local tyrant, or tyrants, (since its mostly made up of bandit lords anyways), and giving it to their people, whispering, encouraging, and enchanting various individuals to fight against them. This caused quite a bit of chaos in the many parts of the river kingdoms, but i never did like pitax and the river kingdom's bandit lords. Nobody still knows how the all out fighting started, or even how some of the 'peasants' came to be so well armed. I really dont want to reveal myself yet until ive taken Silver Mount, and Starfall in general. During this whole passing thru thing, i did encounter a few large magical signatures passing by Pitax and the stolen lands, and thought if this was the Lantern King, and, or that nymph that is fighting against him, screwing around and plotting, but this time, i wonder if he and she will side with the ones in power, or the ones fighting against the ones in power.

During our travels, Ada gives mention of the energy sources used by the gearsmen and, how advanced they are compared to the rest of the world she scanned. They have energy cores, that need to be recharged regularly, and although they dont have beam weapons, theyre core can generate enough energy to produce a energy beam or shot. A thought occurred to me, and i asked Ada if she can design a better version of these Gearsmen, i hear a whirr, and she starts dismantling a few of the gearsmen she had. She worked on creating a new one, by combining cores, materials and so forth thru a simulation, she managed to create a new type of gearsmen blueprint, A battle droid i called it, or BD for short (not good with names). Its a 4 legged humanoid, that stands at 3 meters tall, with 6 cores, 3 cores powering movement. mobility, strength and speed, and 3 cores powering its shoulder and chest mounted energy weapons (in the form of lightning and magic missiles). What makes this a better version is that it utilizes my mana to power and charge it, as well as accept all the enhancement spells i can think of to put in. The cost of 10 mana is enough to fully charge its six cores, which is good for a month of its operation, unless its in prolonged, and or in intense battles. That cost, more than makes up for it with its combat capabilities, and maneuverability. We managed to make 3 of these.

Also during this couple of months of our travel it seems that ada has classified mana as a form of multi dimensional energy that can be converted to anything, depending on the focus, path it travels thru, and how it is formed and released. Since the system is also a Wizard's Tower built into me, i can easily focus, direct, form and release its energy in the most efficient way possible, allowing me to understand spells and anything magical with relative ease. Ada also mentions, according to her analysis of the gearsmen, they can be easily combined into them, creating a new form of technological magic, or Magi-Tech as i termed it. This allows for the new BDs that we created to interchange between both magic, and non magical power consumption, or use both simultaneously. This brings a whole new thought to the things we can do once we get our hands on things like Droids and ships from the Star Wars galaxy, but first we need a base.

Wanting something that is mobile the first thing that comes to my mind that i could buy was ships from star trek online, but those ships are worth millions, i only had a measly 800 or so. It was enuff to buy an draconian airship and a dwarven golem with a bit of extra left over. I soon i bought them i was surprised at the size of air ship, it was 45 meters long, 15 meters wide at the center and 8 meters high. Also it seems to be manned by 4 draconian magicians, 8 other crewmen. There were 3 decks in total, and the ship could comfortably fit the dwarven golem on the top deck, and the rest of my undead crew to the lowest or middle gunnery deck. Speaking also of the golem, it wasnt actually a golem, but a 8 meter tall machine piloted by 2 dwarves, leaves me thinking... thats why the unit need food as maintenance, the dwarves built a mini gundam. Upon seeing me they seem to kept yelling something about being alive, and thanking me for bringing them back, all, while prostrating reverently, while laughing and crying at the same time. It seems that the units and people of the world of Aracana, and Myrrar have retained theyre memories of the times i was conquering the the 2 worlds as a sorcerer lord.

On board the ship after everybody has settled in, i was taking a tour this medieval styled air ship, it seems that it uses a crysx crystal core that makes up the back part of the the middle and lower decks, and the mages channel theyre magic to it which causes it to fly up. After a hearing a whirr behind me, Ada says that power usage is inefficient, and we have a discussion about how to improve it. Apparently, its wasting 90% of the magic used to make it fly. It only needs about 5-10%, so just 1 magician. After some more analyzing, it seems crysx is a material that functions as a universal energy source. If it is properly aligned and carved to follow different types of matrixes, and then energy is channeled thru it, it can begin generating its own energy. From what Ada is saying, it sounds like it functions similarly to a Dilithium crystal, used in many starships in star trek, except without the drain. All it needs is just a jolt, like an ignition or starter to get it going. After some simulations that Ada was running she manages again to create a blueprint of a new air ship core with an engine, along with its connections, and matrixes, and from what she has created, in can produce over 900 terra watts of electricity. Thats more than enough to power the largest military ships in the X space games, fully equipped and then some. So trying to come up with some weapons to add to it, i look thru the system shop.

Having just over 200 points for purchasing i look at some of the weapons that can be bought from the fallout 4, and the various plasma and beam weapons from there and i found a gattling laser at 80 points and plasma rifles at 100 points. Buying them, i had Ada analyze them once again, and once again she creates a blueprint of energy cannons and laser weapons that can be mounted on the ship using the core as a power source. Thanks to the system i can use my create artifact spell to make many of these devices, all i need was blueprints and materials. Luckily, since we had robbed many bandit lords from River Kingdoms, as well as Pitax, we had an array of items, minerals and resources, stored in Ada, that can be used to channel, or direct the energy from the engine core to the ships cannons, and boy was i happy to see rocks melting, and disintegrating after a shot, or burst fire from the gatling lasers and forward plasma cannons. We also decided to armor the ship, along with some thrusters for propulsion and maneuverability with the things we have taken, and produced what looks like an ironclad ship from that browser game called Battlestations, also known as Sky Ocean, except this ship has more guns, and better thrusters. The reconstruction took a week or two, and so did modifying and improving the mini gundam golem.

Of course, its not only the Air ship that had Crysx Crystals, the Golem, or mini gundam also had a functioning one, albeit smaller, with 1 dwarf working it to power the golem, and the other dwarf piloting it. And once again, thanks to Ada, we managed to create a true mini gundam with gatling lasers, thrusters, and jet packs that allowed it to fly, though no energy swords yet, it did have reinforced joints in order to allow it to kick and punch at close range. With all these modifications to the ship and gundam we wasted almost a month and have run out of metals, and gold, and various other rare metals from re-creating the ship and the gundam. The gundam alone makes Ada's BDs look like little children, being just over 10 meters tall, more maneuverable, more firepower, and much tougher, and the airship, though a bit crowded inside, we did still have an upper deck to park the golem in.

Since we will be entering Numeria, i needed at least a force that can challenge its fauna, and other mechanical abominations, those death knights, and just 1 golem and 1 air ship is not enough. I need scouts, raiders, infiltrators, and basically an army. My army may be comprised mostly of death knights since theyre cheap and easy to produce, and i do have quite a few corpses. Since im out of points to spend, all i can do is summon.

The first creatures i summoned were 6 squads of pixies, each having a group of 5 per squad. To my surprise, one of the squads was yelling, and the others crying or praising me, and one them yelling "WAAARRR!!" im not sure what that meant. These pixies look like theyre small human chibi children, standing at 4-5 inches tall. As if preparing for battle they seem to be perfectly orderly, disciplined, and quite eager to do tasks, except for them calling me 'Lord Goldie Locks', i think i like this group. I order them to remain on lookout, as i summoned 2 sky drakes, and 1 arch angel, for now. I had them fly as escorts around the ship and have them stay and rest at the top deck, especially the Drakes, as they where at least 10 meters long and 3 meters wide with theyre wings tucked in. These ones too seem be very disciplined and eager to follow my orders. After some preparations we continue our way towards Numeria, towards Silver Mount, and Starfall.

Finally crossing over the Numerian border, it doesnt take long for us to encounter a few of its denizens, a lot of androids, according to Ada's scans, artificial life forms, that looks like a human, being chased by what looks like hundreds gearsmen, and according the pixies, these ones were armed with energy weapons, or rather staffs that shot out fire and lightning. Also accompanying them are these giant scorpion like things with a bunch of weapons attached to them, i do remember that wizard i mind hacked back in the cave called them annihilators, and 3 of these groups where moving to intercept the androids. I needed to interfere. I summon 4 more sky drakes, 3 more pixie squads and 2 more arch angels. This group it seems very happy to be summoned, and asks me for commands, and they still call me Goldie Locks!! Damn it, gonna have to mention the name change at some point.

I asked Ada if she could hack those, the same way she hacked the others, back in that ruins in the stolen lands. She whirrs and mention she is getting interference from those machine robed figures. It seems that these ones are different from the wizard we encountered in the cave, and theres 3 them, one controlling each group, and protected by some kind of barrier on top of those annihilators. Guess its the hard way then.

I divided the units into 3, each group having 2 drakes, an archangel, and 3 pixie squads, and held by a drake in each group, Ada's battle droids. As for the mini gundam, the Death Knights, the air ship and myself, we were fire and magic support, with the gundam going to battle when its needed, and the death knights on the guns. Then i gave them all buffs in speed, defense, and attack, and when finished, command the to attack.

From the vantage point of the ship, i could see all three battles occurring at once (also thru my the system which is a wizard tower), as the draconians, and death knights, fire strafing shots in 3 directions, plasma in front, and burst gatling lasers on the sides, and they were accurate, very accurate. I didnt recruit draconians until midgame, using theyre airships, mid to mid late game, having only 1 group or 5 airships reach elite. And watching the crew aim the new weapons was just so awe inspiring, annihilating everything they fired at.

Its not just the air ships that was impressive, watching the drakes dive at such speeds targeting those annihilators, electrifying them, disabling theyre shields, b4 forcefully crushing them under theyre feet, causing large craters where they stomp, dodging and maneuvering beams pointed towards them, as the machine gun bullets simply cause light bruising. All the while the arch angel healing and buffing them from out of sight.

But what truly impressed me the most was the pixies... My god these things were fast, so fast that all you could see are lines crisscrossing around the gearsmen, severing joints, exploding eye sockets, and doing them at such high speeds, that the hundreds of gearsmen couldnt even hit them. Even the homing magical missiles (magic missile spells are homing), that chased them around, where simply used as extra projectiles for the pixies, as it hit other gearsmen instead of the pixies. I had even witnessed one take on an annihilator, by piercing the shields, smashing its eye or occular sensor, and then seconds later causing an internal explosion after it exists it the way in came in. My expression being one shock and awe, is the only way i can explain it, i havent even casted a spell yet during the battle and half the forces of all 3 groups were completely scrap, is this really how they fought in arcana and myrrar, i remember them only being scouts and ranged support for main attack groups. I guess these summoned units are warriors, battle hardened for the almost 200 (2200 turns) years of conflicts in the world they were from, to the point that they are masters of battle, and of war.

I wonder how the other units would be, the ones ive played as, the high men, and then later, cause they were close by and conquered, the high elves. I have a few groups of champion lvl paladins, high elven lords and several groups of high elven longbowmen... How would theyre 'rank' effect be like in battling here.

Back to the battle, the androids have taken the opportunity to flee, not knowing what the fuck was was going on, moving thru the openings made by the pixies. Though, the androids were well armed to fight a few gearsmen, the were not good enough to fight the annihilators, and some of them were killed. I ordered my units to ignore them, as they run away from what was happening. Fuming and getting angry at theyre loses, i see the machine robed wizards desperately fighting Ada's battle droid units, and they were having a bit of a hard time. Even if they were able to dodge most of the spells, and weapon attacks of the wizards, they were no match for them at close range, as they took out some very advanced weapons. What i first thought was a lightsaber, was actually just a rod that was incased in some kind of energy, that cause severe damage to the droids. Ada was really determined to get control of the army so she targeted them, but was having difficulty, due to the skill and spells of these individuals.

With the gearsmen and the annihilators all completely destroyed, i ordered the troops to aid the battle droids and subduing those machine robed wizards. In the end 2 of the three died, and the other one was missing both legs and an arm, but was still alive, thus ending the battle. I asked them all to clean up the battle and bring all the parts scattered around to me, as i tried to probe around the minds of these machine robed wizards But as it turns out, i cant mind hack already dead ones, only those that are still alive, or unconscious, so i did.

While ada stuffs and dismantles the scrap, our stock of materials sky rocket and we have more materials to build droids, as well as discovering that the armors, or machine robes the wizards were wearing was made up of some sort of material known as star metal, according the wizards mind i hacked. Some adamantium, which i was familiar with in the masters of magic game that boosted units' attack and defenses when it was mined nearby, and silvery residue, which ada mentioned is a substance that was leftover by some kind of fuel, as it shares characteristics of the gas released by burning oils, and or fossil fuels, except the residue is in dust, or particulate state. We kept them all and continued looting, and decided to create more mechanical units and things.

It seems that the gattling lasers, and plasma cannons were effective in damaging them, so she designed variants of them using the cores of the gearsmen, and created a tripple cored bi-pedal battle droid, we simply called, Soldier Droid, or SD for short. It has similar fire power as the BDs, it uses the newly integrated plasma and laser rifles. We also upgraded the BDs with those weapons, renaming them BD-01s. As for the annihilators... Ada created a Heavy Vehicle, or tank blueprints from destroyed and dismantled annihilators. She designed 2 variants, one with a rotating powerful dual plasma cannon, and side mounted, anti air lasers (similar to machine gun, except its a laser) , with heavy armor meant for long range combat, or mobile artillery with 6 legs, we simply called artillery tank, or AT. The second one, having a quad rotatable gatling lasers, medium armor, with hover, or limited flight capabilities to make it more maneuverable, and close range lightning bolt throwers, to attack those getting near it, we also, simply called Hover Tank, or HT, and planned to have some the Death Knights pilot them, if possible, or simply automated and controlled by ada. Also thanks to shielding on those annihilators, we shielded everything as well including the ship.

Since im the only one with a method of manufacturing anything, i created those droids and vehicles using my Create Artifact spell, using the materials available, adding extra damage, resistance and defense. From the 12 destroyed annihilators, we managed to create 8 tanks, 4 ATs, and 4 HTs, and started charging them in the air ship. I also created, from the over a thousand or so destroyed gearsmen, 200 SDs, and 100 BD-01s, all put under Ada's control. Also according to her, the control rods that the 3 wizards were carrying used a command code that allowed them to control such a large number of those robots. It also has a type of physical firewall, or electronic shield that needed to be disabled manually by force, in order to start hacking it, or the robots it controlled. This is making rethink my attack plan of Starfall and Silver Mount, since im finding the tech they have to be so advanced, thats its hard to believe that this is a medieval world, but Ada said that she could also use the rods to hack any internal systems they may have that prevents hacking. She ends up reverse engineering the rods, creates a blueprint and ask me to make it, which i did, and she, with whirr, integrates it into herself... i think.

As the droids were being recharged, i had asked Ada to analyze and scan the Androids that were killed/destroyed in theyre attempt to escape. What i got was that theyre systems were inert, or non-functional, but can be restarted again thru some means, and that was to charge them with particular energies with certain signatures. Remembering what i took from the surviving wizard, they force souls into the bodies of inert androids, to cause the systems to restart and regenerate back to its zero state, fully repaired or healed, and then try to force them to do theyre bidding, be theyre slaves. Im guessing thats why the encirclement, they didnt want any of theyre 'precious property' to escape. I really need to destroy this group, steal theyre research and free the androids... maybe, but first, I asked ada if she can find a way to get the androids back to the zero state, so it can begin regenerating itself and become functional again, without shoving a soul in it. She says the androids system is powered by a magical core, or rather a semi-magical core, that once its fully charged, starts to accept souls, to begin a new programing algorithm, or a personality, which regenerates its damaged or 'dead' state, with very unique nanomachines. From her analysis the cycle of rebirth and death state occur every 60-80 years of the souls' life or energy, if they dont encounter anything lethal. Side effects may vary depending on the condition of the android, and memory relapse of past cycles would be common. Which means these androids are basically immortal, in a constant state of reincarnation. Ada then mentions that she can reprogram the system, but it may alter theyre the algorithms, or possibly damage them completely, creating a very unpredictable result. Hmmm... Anyways...

While the droids were charging, i recalled the memories of the dead tech wizard, and found 4 locations, or caches of inert or non functioning androids. as well as soul cairns that hold souls for them to force restart the systems of said androids. I had to get to these because each soul i release ill get points, and who knows, maybe i can repurpose or reprogram the system of these inert androids at a later time, if me and Ada study these 'tech wizards' research on them.

Traveling on a drake we left the airship, its crew and a few creatures for defense and made them invisible, me and ada along with 4 squads of pixie's traveled to the caches, while also, being invisible. Two of these caches were pretty simple with lots of scraps, gold that looks like the currency of this country, unusual techs, and dismantled androids and various other machines, the third one had a lot of traps, but was easily seen through by ada, and disarmed, or sprang, without causing any damages, by the pixies. This one had a lot of gold, a cairn and around 100 inert androids. The cairn had over 1000 souls inside, thats enough for me to buy more airships, and dwarven gundams. The 4th cache had some form of defenses, along with traps, but once again, ada, and the pixie sqauds made very short work of them, with ada taking control of some of the bigger robots and automated defenses. This cache was the bigest, with 14 soul cairns all having 1000 or so souls in each of them, making my total points, after destroying them, just slightly over 15000. The lengths these technic league members in numeria would go through in order to obtain these souls... Packing up everything into ada, including the scraps, more gold, rusted metals, furniture (basically the whole storage cache building that ada broke down into materials), inactive androids and other experimental robots. When we were done, we went back to camp.

After arriving, i began creating more units for us to use in battle, and we manage create more ATs, and HTs, and since we only had 1 air ship, i had to buy a few more, 12 to be exact, each costing 300 points, i went ahead and modified 10 of them to be the same as the first, and just like the previous crews, they were praising and thanking me for bringing them back from wherever they were being held or kept in stasis, (have to ask ada about this one later). The other 2 air ships ada dismantled for theyre crysx crystals. I also bought 12 dwarven gundams and once again modified 10 with the same build as the first one i bought, and the other 2 used for parts and the crysx crystal cores. Then seeing as i had 8400 points left i checked the system shop, looking under fallout robots, I decided to buy both an eye bot, costing 3000, and a sentry bot at 4000. Though they did not add much to the tech that we currently posses, theyre AI seems to be much more mechanical than the gearsmen, or other bots that we've found so far. Also, as soon they appeared, the crews of the dismantled airships, and dwarven gundam, wanted to know if they could be piloted or controlled in some way, which gave me and ada an idea.

Using both the tech from the golems and the weapon systems and ai from the fallout robots, we created intelligent systems that linked pilot to ai, similar to the mechs of titan fall, and with 2 airship crysx cores, and 2 extra golem cores, ada proceeded to create blueprints. I named them titan mechs, or TM for short, standing at almost 8 meters tall. Ada created the blueprint to be able to interchange weapons and load out, and created several other blueprints of various weapons, and drive cores, Since we had extra crews from the 2 dismantled airships, and 2 dismantled golems. I created the ones that used a smaller crysxx for the 16 regular crewmen of the airships, and 4 of the dwarven golem/gundam, and created 8 larger crysx core ones that are used by the draconian magicians. Since the dwarves were already familiar with golem controls, ada only had to instruct them on the added features, and becoming friends with the ai. Also the ai were programmed by ada to have a patriotic or maybe overzealous, loyalty towards me, and the empire i intend to create. The draconians required some time for training, luckily the dwarves were able to help them on usage, and it didnt take long for all of them to be proficient in theyre usage of the TMs.

The Magicians were mostly heavy long range support TMs, with both long range heavy plasma, and miscellaneous magic weapons, such magic missile launchers, and lightning bolt throwers, that fired at gatling speed, used all ranges. The rest used a variation of close to mid range plasma and gatling lasers, with CQC weapons, like spears, halberds, swords and hammers. The draconians using swords, spears and halberds, and dwarfs using hammers. Thanks to the amount of salvage we got from the caches, creating mech sized weapons didnt put too much of a drain on resources. Of course the other gundam pilots also wanted to have AIs in theyre systems, but we will make modifications after we have taken over starfall and silver mount.

The eye bot, that i purchased was then also modified and improved by ada. It was made sleeker, more aero dynamic, can also broadcast on all frequencies, including the ones from the tech wizards, as well its own loudspeakers. Instead of a single laser cannon, it was equipped with 2 rapid firing lasers on its side, and was added with multi-directional thrusters for added mobility and speed, and of course shielded, as all the the TMs and all the machines we have build so far, and we simply called them eye bots or EB for short. We created 200 eye bots, for aerial support, and propaganda warfare.

With everything being 'invisible', using my greater invisibility spell, not even the loud hammerings of the dwarves making or adding modifications to theyre TMs, making what looked like a giant wooden house, and bombs, were heard, as hundreds of combat capable robots was being charged on the 10 airships with a crysx core. The giant wooden houses was actually a storage ship, with a modified energy core (no crysx), that they charged in one of the 10 ships that had it, and that allowed it to hover, surprising me, at the level of ingenuity these dwarves posses. I didnt want my army to only be comprised of machines, so i started summoning. 200 pixie squads, 10 great drakes, and 10 more sky drakes. Along with them, 27 water elementals, 6 arch angels and demon lords, 12 Djinns, 4 great wyrms, 20 groups of cockatrices, and 25 groups of spiders. I was also able to buy 6 high elven longbowman squads at 150 points each, and a gauss rifle at 500 points from fallout new vegas. Again, the elves were on theyre knees, thanking the great sorcerer 'Goldie Locks', for bringing them back, but at the same time, mentioning something about a successful casting of a spell that saved all the people under my rule in arcana and myrrar, and also that they hope i can bring back the rest of the citizens under my previous rule. I thought 'wow Q, you even created a backstory for my first avatar'.

With these purchases i now had almost no points left. The gauss rifle was then modified once again by ada, into a mass accelerated weapon, with an energy core, and this time without the flaws of the the gauss rifle had in the FO game, also with longer range, and scope, as well as ammo the size of those old 1800 arquebuses brass ball bullets. Using a replicating enchantment that uses the energy, and converts matter into round balls, accelerating them at high speeds, so anything, even rocks and sand (turns to a glass ball) can be formed into a ball and accelerated at a target at 4 times the speed of sound, luckily i have a lot of rusted and misc metals. Knowing i had bought the champions of the High elven longbowmen, i decided to teach the use of these weapons, and was pleasantly surprised, at how easy they were to adapt to it. Maybe theyre overzealous worship of me helped, but it took less than a day for them to master it, although, they still kept their bow. With that, i made 24 rifles, and handed them metal dust, chunks, and shavings, and told them the different ammos it can take and fire with it.

With the amount of mana i had, preparations in summoning and 'artifact creation', it took us 4 months to be fully prepared for the attack on starfall, but b4 that, we raided every 'noble' house loyal to the technic league, leaving messages asking the technic league, and all the people within numeria to surrender, and give starfall, and silver mount to theyre soon to be new future ruler. Of course the message was being broadcasted by my EBs, all over Numeria, getting very mixed responses, according the images brought back by the EBs. But it doesnt matter soon Starfall, and Silver Mount will be mine, and 1 month later, after hunting few of the wildlife for food, and destruction of a few despotic 'nobles' around starfall, we were just a few km away from the city.

The city actually looked heavily cramped, with both primitive and advanced buildings. The most advanced being that castle on top of that hill, as the town itself surrounds the silver colored starship. Standing at 700 meters tall. I can see why the locals call it silver mount. It also looks like its thrusters are facing the sky, while the rest of it is probably underground. I thought then, about how i was gonna approach this city.

So i started to create more death knights, and made them appear to be the main army, becoming visible to the many, (maybe thousands) robotic figures stationed along the wall of the city, as well as machine robed and armored individuals, and some half naked men, holding primitive (swords, axes, spears, shields, bows and crossbows) weapons, and even some glowing green ones.

*<Battle POV>*

Hundreds of corpses appeared on the ground, as a spell is cast which brings them all to life, each holding some kind of shield and a scythe, glowing an eerily dark purple glow, and horses with a skeletal frame covered in a fog black as night, all hovering a couple of feet off the ground. Though they were silent when they advanced, theyre approach was felt, as an eerie aura engulfed the defenders atop the walls of the city.

B4 those menacing death knights approached the range of the defenders ranged weapons, a massive vortex was formed in the middle of the defenders, as lightning shot out from it, moving along the walls of the city, striking at the many robots stationed along the walls, some wizards used defense magics to try and defend against it, others try to dispel it but to no avail. Then seconds later balls of living fire and air started to appear at the gates, and behind the wall, striking at the defenders with tendrils of air and fire, combining together creating a much higher temperature as fire should be, as more and more are summoned next to them, melting metals, and the stone walls, and draining the defenders energy barriers. Water and ice spells being cast to cool the robots, and theyre armor as well as extinguish the flames, were very effective in destroying the living flames, but not the living air, as the defenders were all wet, the living air entities began shooting bolts of lightning and electricity at the defenders, stunning them, electrifying them, the defenders were forced to abandon the walls and flee to the middle area.

As the battle ended on the wall, the death knights advanced, flying over the walls, and thru the melted gaps, and engaging the enemies within the city. Green bolts of light, that melted theyre decaying flesh and dark armor, were fired upon them as they charged towards the robots, and machine robed wizards and armored men firing at them. Many of the death knights broke through, causing havoc and death all around killing the living, as theyre barriers were ignored by the purple glowing scythes, and at the same time, engaging the robots in melee. With magics being casted left and right, and the machine armored individuals lighting up green glowing giant swords, and robots fighting surprisingly well in melee, as well as those half naked men fighting back with overwhelming strength and tenacity, the battle was starting to go in favor of the defenders.

As things were starting to look up for the defenders, red pinkish light bolts started firing at a fast rate from the sky, and green bolts were fired from the walls, many of the robots are mowed down, and theyre energy barriers broken thru in seconds. 4 metal clad air ships appear just above the wall, as the defenders try to find cover around the houses and other buildings. Several of the defenders having theyre head mysterious explode, or theyre arms and legs suddenly blown off, after the sound of a loud *TZBANG* was heard. Not just the human defenders, also the robots were exploding after the loud sound. More and more green bolts were being fired from the walls, as what looks like large 6 legged carriages to the defenders, start appearing atop walls, raining down green bolts, destroying buildings and the defenders in their range.

"LET THEM OUT, LET THEM ALL OUT!!" shouted one of the machine robed wizard on what appears to be a small rod with holes in it, getting a "WE CANT CONTROL THEM!!, THEYLLE ATTACK US IF WE THEM OUT!! *bzzrcht*", the wizard responding with "THEYLL ATTACK THEM TOO!! JUST LET THEM OUT!!!", as the wizards shoulder is blown off by an accelerated, energized pellet.

Soon the metallic buildings, and the castle on the hill, start opening up as large numbers of annihilators were released, attacking everything in range, including the defenders. More than a hundred of them scurrying out of theyre storage area. Some firing on the air ships with some kind of guided metal missiles, and green energy balls, causing airships barriers to ripple, and shatter. Concentrated fire on one of the air ships causes severe damage to it, and causing it to fall and crash into the city's walls, while the other air ships, now focusing theyre fire on the annihilators, and focusing theyre shields on the broadside facing the giant robots. During the same time, several floating machines began appearing firing rapid, pinkish red like energy bolts towards the berserk giant robots, as lightning and electricity surge from the skies disabling theyre barriers, and then are stomped at the center point of their chassis by giant heavy blue colored feet of a dragons, causing its total destruction.

More and more of these 'dragons' appear, blue and red, as they rain down electricity and fire so hot, the annihilators barriers shatter, and theyre metal bodies, melt at the extreme heat. Some of the dragons, using the metal bits, to shield themselves, from missiles and on going plasma fire. While some get injured, they are immediately healed, b4 blood even starts spurting out, as well as magical barriers being formed around them, increasing theyre resilience against the ongoing onslaughts of these giant mechanical scorpion robots.

As the battle raged, regular, and poorly dressed civilians started running out of the city in waves, running for their life, as far away and as fast away from the ongoing destruction and battle. Seeing theyre defenders suffering greatly. Watching this, the defenders, the grearsmen, and tech wizards, started firing on the civilians, yelling "WE TOLD YOU, ALL THAT FLEES WILL DIE!!!", as hundreds of the fleeing people are slain just b4 they reached the city's gates, but just b4 the defenders can continue to massacre theyre own, other bi-pedal, and 4 legged robots suddenly appear as they begin firing on the cruel defenders. With solid barriers, and fast weapons, these new robots were fast, agile, durable, and strong, with firepower overwhelming the defenders, and stopping them from firing on the civilians.

Meanwhile among the houses that have been blown open by the current battle, are shivering, terrified children, not knowing what to do, as theyre parents or adults have abandoned them. Then a demon looking like the ones from the stories told them that came from north of the numerian border, appear. "Looks like i get to snack after all..." reaching for one of the screaming, terrified children, but just b4 the demon managed to touch one, a loud smack was heard as his hand was swatted away by a small glowing life form, then another smack was heard as his face was struck by another glowing life form, and smacked with such force, that the demon was sent flying across the wall and into the next building. "STUPID DEMON! THE LORD SAID SAVE THE CHILDREN!!", as the children watched the scene happen b4 them. "HAHAHAHA!!!" laughing loudly at how easily and how hard he was smacked. "Very well little sprites, i will yield to your strength..." as the demon stood up, and took a guarding position by the building. "You, you and you, go get that dwarf who built the house ship, so we can take these children away from the battle, AND HURRY!!", as 3 pixie's rush in the direction outside of the wall. Soon the children are carried away, although still terrified, by a giant 10 meter tall robot, in a makeshift carrying basket in the front and back of the TMs chassis, away from the battle, as others continue to flee from the destruction happening all around.

These kinds of scenes, and things were happening all over city, as the civilians continue to flee in all directions. Although regular civilians were ignored, those who were richly garbed, or running with carriages full of wealth, gold and many other luxuries where stopped by very sticky webing, and then turned to stone, by colorful, giant flying chickens. Theyre carriages taken away by 8 legged giant spiders. Some of the carriages even having naked women and children of various races, but were all taken outside the walls, as they are clothed, and freed from their bondage.

In the under ground areas of the city was the main base of many of the tech wizards, as they started packing and storing theyre items in bags, that seem to have an infinite space in them, as they attempted to port out, but b4 any them could, theyre spells backfire violently, as giant wyrms appear just below them, smashing thru the metal floors and walls, followed by giant spiders, as well small glowing like life forms, that immediately went for their groin, legs or arms, while the spiders webbed them, and bit their arms and legs, preventing any kind of escaping. After the spiders and pixies appeared, the new robots that were fighting out side as well, suddenly appeared, fighting the other robots that were serving these tech wizards.

Many of the rooms around the underground areas were spacious, and as monsters and robots came in, its occupants were killed and or outright destroyed. Though, the attacking robots were met with the defending robots, they were no match for the capabilities, and firepower of these new SD, and BD models. Labs, storages, robot building stations and hangers were all taken over and ransacked, and if they had soul cairns or soul containers, they were immediately destroyed. During this attack, machine robed and armored individuals was either slain accidentally, maimed by pixies, and or cocoon rapped in tough sticky and tight spider silk, their robes and armor not helping them, or are severely damaged b4 getting webbed.

As the attackers continue to advance to the center, they encounter a man fully armored, on top of a platform, pushing buttons here there and yelling out orders. 'This must the leader' a pixie thought, as gatling lasers and plasma bolts start firing at him. His barrier start shimmering on and off, b4 it shatters by an attack from 2 pixies, one exploding his kneecap armor, and separating half a leg from his body, as the other changed the shape of her glow to a very sharp looking dagger, targeting the man's shoulder joint, severing the entire arm and armor from the man. "I AM THE CAPTAIN!!, YOU CANT...!!", b4 the sentence was finished a third pixie smashes his face in the form of an uppercut, as the man accidentally bites his tongue off, and falls with a loud thud fully unconscious . "Your not suppose to kill him," a pixie says. Then another pixie came over, "He's still breathing", another says, just as a spider climbs the platform, webbing the 'Captain' in a fine silk cocoon.

Soon the under ground area was secured, and a small oval shaped robot approached the platform, launching tendrils of various tools, and open electrical wires at the console of the platform, and then starts whirring and beeping, as the undergound facility start shutting down and turning on, a few minutes at time, and then after a while, the robot says.... "Master, I am in control..."
