Chapter 9: Dragon Camp

  "Peter, this new slave is yours to handle." Adamkus Nunu mouthed as he rode the mechanical dragon, and the mechanical guards immediately pushed Fang Ke in front of a young man who looked around twenty years old.

  The young man wore a pointed hat and had paint on his cheeks, giving people an uncomfortable feeling. Fang Kai's eyebrows furrowed, a slave? Did Adam think of himself as a slave?

  It turned out that he wasn't looking at his own courage, but just arguing with Raven. Fang Kai secretly sighed and saw the young man called "Peter" bowing to Adamas with his right hand in the air, licking his lips and saying: "Alright, Lord Adamas, I'll arrange for him to go to a suitable place and do something suitable."

  Peter deliberately emphasized the word "suitable", staring at Fang Kai with a profound meaning, which made the latter's goosebumps rise, thinking that this guy wouldn't be gay, would he? Otherwise, why did his eyes look like that... Anyway, Fang Kai felt disgusted.

  "Adams seemed to be used to Peter's tone, and nodded immediately, his voice calm: "The day after tomorrow is the League Conference, I don't want anything to go wrong, do you understand what I mean?" Adams suddenly changed his tone, his eyes sharply staring at Peter. The latter was startled, cold sweat dripping out:"

  "Please rest assured, Your Highness, everything will go as you wish. I, a humble subject... dare to guarantee with my life that the matter will be successful." Peter sneaked a glance at Adamas, looking rather timid. However, this fell into Fang Ke's eyes, and there was an inexplicable strangeness about it. It seemed that things were not so simple?

  He hummed softly, Adamks narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "It's better this way, you know, the word 'failure' has never been in my dictionary. Take good care of this person, I hope to see him on the altar the day after tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Adamks flipped onto the mechanical dragon, turned around and left.

  "Your Highness, slow down." Young Peter bowed again and respectfully saw Adamkus off. When he lifted his head again to face Fang Kai, he put on another expression.

  Only to see Peter's face cold, pointing at Fang Kai humming: "From today on, you will be assigned to the arsenal, doing odd jobs in 'Longying'. Remember, your number is C4, follow me." With a crisp finger from Peter, two mechanical guards held Fang Kai, and they walked towards the arsenal.

  The so-called arsenal is actually a place where mechanical guards are manufactured. Due to advanced technology, Tikal City has long had the ability to mass-produce mechanical humans. Under Peter's introduction, Fang Kai learned that there were two arsenals in Tikal City. One belonged to Riven and was called "Hunting Tiger"; the other was called "Flying Fox", which was said to be owned by Riven's younger brother, Quicksilver. At that time, Fang Kai secretly sighed, indeed a family conflict.

  The place Fang Kai was about to be taken to was the "Flying Fox" Arsenal. The "Flying Fox" Arsenal was divided into four major camps: the Infantry Camp, the Rifle Camp, the Artillery Camp, and the Dragon Camp. The Dragon Camp, as its name suggests, was where mechanical dragons were produced.

  Mechanical guards do not ride mechanical dragons, only humans do. Therefore, the output of "Dragon Camps" is not very large, but the quality is extremely high. These mechanical dragons that serve as mounts are not only symbols of the rider's identity, but also a guarantee of high-level combat effectiveness.

  On the battlefield, these behemoths often turn the tide of battle. Because in design, these mechanical dragons can spit out high-speed fireballs while moving at high speed, with a wide range of combat and strong resistance to attack, it's simply a meat grinder on the battlefield. However, although the mechanical dragon is powerful, it also has its weaknesses.

  Mechanical dragons are very inflexible, and this weakness is extremely fatal. As long as you grasp this point, breaking mechanical dragons is not a difficult task. But the premise is that you can withstand their crazy bombing.

  Furthermore, creating a mechanical dragon is by no means an easy task, and the amount of resources consumed is also extremely large. After so many years, the number of mechanical dragons has always remained in single digits. It can be imagined how difficult it is to maintain them.

  After seven twists and eight turns, Fang Kai was finally brought to the Dragon Camp. However, the Dragon Camp was vastly different from what Fang Kai had imagined. As he looked around, the entire Dragon Camp resembled a museum, with several mechanical dragons of various shapes and sizes standing proudly on either side. In the center of the Dragon Camp stood a red crystal, which Peter said was a surveillance crystal, specifically used to monitor the mechanical dragons and prevent them from being stolen by outsiders.

  Here, Peter also said that even if you bypass the red crystal scan, it's basically impossible to steal a mechanical dragon. These few mechanical dragons have all been infused with "information veins", and are locked down at the control source. To change the silent program, you'd first need to clear out those information veins, which requires infiltrating the mechanical dragon's body to modify the program. Don't think it's easy to enter these massive objects, they can send you to heaven with a single cannonball at any time.

  Looking at these battlefields, Fang Kai secretly felt a chill in his heart, and his face gradually became solemn. He vaguely felt that there must be an earth-shattering struggle between Riven and his brother Kha'Zix. The most tragic thing was that Fang Kai had been drawn into it, and it was hard to escape now.

  "C4, from now on you have to apply preservative to these mechanical dragons every morning, noon and night. Don't even think about slacking off. You should know that from this moment on, all your actions will be under my surveillance." Peter turned his head, staring intently at Fang Kei. His sharp eyes seemed to pierce through Fang Kei's eyes like a dagger.

  Fang Kai nodded, and suddenly spoke up: "Can you tell me what's going on with that Alliance Conference?" As soon as the words fell, Peter's eyebrows shot up. He glared fiercely at Fang Kai and said in a low voice: "Some things are better left unasked, just focus on doing your job well. If you do your part well, maybe tomorrow I'll consider letting you die a bit more comfortably."

  After finishing speaking, Peter threw some bottles at Fang Kai and then turned around and left.

  Frowning, Fang Kai picked up the bottle and found that it was filled with some oily substance. Apparently, these were the maintenance agents mentioned by Peter. Thinking back to Peter's last words, and then thinking of what Adam said "I want to see him at the altar", Fang Kai's face suddenly turned pale.

  Was he going to be the sacrifice for that so-called Alliance Conference?

  Just thinking that his fate was once again in someone else's hands, Fang Kai couldn't help but clench his fists, and a raging fire surged up in his heart. "No way, I absolutely cannot just sit here waiting to die, my own life must be controlled by me!" Fang Kai didn't want to become a sacrifice, but now that he was imprisoned in the Dragon Camp, what could he do?

  Just as Fang Kai was at a loss, a low-pitched voice with a hint of surprise came from behind him: "Kai?!" As soon as he heard this voice, Fang Kai's whole body shook, and he immediately turned around, his eyebrows spreading apart: "Qiao Mu Si, how are you here?" Old friends met, and the two immediately hugged each other tightly.

  "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go over there." Qiu Mingsi carefully glanced at the red crystal and pulled Fang Kai to a blind spot.

  "Kai Zi, it's really great that you're okay. I...I thought you were...dead." Seeing Fang Kai safe and sound, Qiao Mu was seemingly overjoyed, speaking with a trembling voice.

  Fang Kai did not expect to see Qiao Mu Si in the Dragon Camp. To get into the city, he had used up all his strength and thought he wouldn't be able to meet up with his teammate again. But now... At this moment, Fang Kai didn't know what to say, only knowing that Qiao Mu Si's appearance was very timely.

  "It's a long story, Jom, but first I'll ask you, what brought you to Longying?" Fang Kai paused for a moment, gazing at Joms as if trying to discern something from the New Zealander's blue eyes.

  Chom saw that he was stunned, and suddenly sighed: "This, it's necessary to start from the day you blocked the electric wolf for us." Immediately, Chom told Fang Kai about the causes and consequences of his appearance in Longying.

  It turned out that Fang Kai had only blocked most of the electric wolves, and there were still four electric wolves lurking in front. At the time, for safety reasons, Qiao Mu Si and Pang Dong decided to split up and reunite after shaking off the electric wolves. Unexpectedly, during the escape, Qiao Mu Si was tripped by a stone and fell to the ground.

  The two electric wolves that had been chasing relentlessly saw Jorms being tripped and suddenly regained their spirit, pouncing on Jorms even more ferociously. Just as the two electric wolves were about to tear Jorms apart, a bullet suddenly shot out from one side. The speed of the bullet was incredibly fast, its power left Jorms stunned. The bullet was also very accurate, instantly "grilling" the two electric wolves together.

  When Jorms got up to see who had saved him, he was hit on the neck. Instantly, Jorms fainted. When he woke up, he found himself in the dragon camp. Later, Jorms learned that it was one of Adamkus' subordinates who was patrolling outside and saved him. Thus, Jorms became a slave of Adamkus and was assigned to do chores in the dragon camp.

  "We were all just odd jobs." Fang Kai had just sighed, and the two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing. After they stopped laughing, Qiao Mu Si asked in a soft voice, "And you? How did you end up coming to Longying?"

  "I... *sigh*..." With a deep breath, Fang Kai immediately recounted how he had arrived at Longying. The more Jomos listened, the paler his face became. Finally, after hearing the whole story, Jomos exclaimed: "I have to say, Kai, you're really very brave. However... *sigh*..."

  Jorm's hesitant expression piqued Kael's interest: "What is it?" But Jorm looked around cautiously, making sure no one was listening before speaking in a low tone: "I overheard Peter mention that at the Alliance meeting the day after tomorrow, Quaas and his son will be competing with Raven for control of the city. If they succeed, slaves like us will be sent to the Tikal Temple as sacrifices."

  Although Fang Kai had already guessed roughly, hearing these words from Qiao Mu's mouth at this time still made him smile wryly: "What can we do? Are we going to sit and wait for death?"

  As soon as the words came out, Joems stared at Fang Kai tightly and said in a low voice: "Kai, I have a way, do you believe me?" Fang Kai saw that there was a hint of self-confidence on Joems' face.
