Chapter Sixteen: The Swaying Balance of War

  "My goodness, what is this?!" The tall general stared blankly at the purple rain falling down, his heart full of surprise. He had seen black rain and green rain before, but those were polluted. But this purple rain, he really was seeing it for the first time, and didn't know what use it had.

  But before he could finish his thoughts, the short general's voice came to his ears again with surprise and joy: "Lorenzo, look!" Following the direction of Dardario, Lorenzo was shocked to see that countless purple raindrops on the ground had condensed and gathered into a group of "Purple Warriors".

  Without any facial features, only limbs, these purple-bodied creatures were able to command themselves, charging towards the mechanical dragon in an orderly manner. There were only four or five of them. In an instant, they leapt onto the mechanical dragon's head, seemingly unafraid that it would spew out fireballs. For some reason, the purple-bodied creatures suddenly melted and turned into a liquid state.

  A purple glow enveloped the mechanical dragon's eyes, and to everyone's surprise, the two originally ferocious and restless mechanical dragons suddenly became calm, even ceasing all activity.

  Two generals were stunned, these purple rains were so fierce that they could make the mechanical dragon stop? Before they had time to think carefully, they heard a spiral propeller sound coming from the sky.

  The two of them lifted their heads, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but curve upwards.

  It turns out that Raven's rescue has arrived!

  A huge ironclad airship suddenly dropped a rope ladder, and Fang Ke, Qiao Mu Si, and Kuren all climbed down the rope ladder and then let go of their hands, landing steadily on the ground.

  "Chomsky, it's unbelievable!" Fang Kai turned his head and gazed at the enormous ironclad flying ship, his eyes filled with an incredulous expression. Before long, on the deck of the flying ship, a number of black dots suddenly appeared. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these black dots were actually robots!

  Blue-eyed Chomsky licked his lips, staring at the purple-bodied people on the battlefield, muttering: "Yes, unexpectedly, the 'Flying Fox' arsenal actually had so many secrets."

  Kulen wiped his shirt, then patted General Lorenzo's shoulder and laughed: "It's hard for you to hold on for so long. Now it's our turn to fight for Tikal City." Kulen hugged Lorenzo and Dardario, then turned around and said seriously to Fang Kai and Jom: "Two brave warriors, thank you for everything you've done for the Holy City. I believe that Tikal's history will forever remember both of you."

  He didn't expect Kulen to say that, and Fang Kai was taken aback for a moment. Now he recalled the scene when he first met Peter, or rather the person Kulen pretended to be, and couldn't help but chuckle.

  "Let's save those words for later. Now..." Jorms gazed at the gloomy-faced Adams, a hint of a smile playing on his lips: "War!" A single word that completely opened the curtain to the counterattack.

  Riven sat on the spaceship, constantly sending troops to the battlefield. It turned out that he knew how formidable Quivas's mechanical dragon was, so he had been ordering the "Flying Fox" munitions factory to develop something that could counter the mechanical dragon. The matter was extremely confidential, so the area around the "Flying Fox" munitions factory was heavily guarded, and even Quivas' spies lurking around Riven didn't know what was going on inside the factory.

  For safety's sake, Raven emptied the surface of the munitions factory and only left a batch of mechanical soldiers to confuse Quwahs' side. Quwahs saw that inserting eyes didn't work, so he directly launched satellites to spy on the situation inside "Flying Fox" munitions factory, but only found some broken robots.

  At first, Quaid was still skeptical, after all, the "Flying Fox" factory was heavily guarded, but the contents were so small, it didn't make sense! However, Quaid had been monitoring the satellite for two years and only saw more and more broken robots, his vigilance gradually decreased.

  Little did they know, this was exactly what Ruiwen had been waiting for.

  Ruiwen was well aware that Quaid would definitely use satellites to monitor his own arsenal. So, he ordered the excavation of a space underground and moved all instruments and personnel there for research and development work. Heaven rewards those who are diligent, and soon they successfully developed a ** device capable of countering mechanical dragons.

  It was obviously those magical purple rains from just now.

  Zi Yu is actually a plasma state corrosive agent, as long as the program is set in advance in the molecular formula, it can self-destruct and reorganize, converting between solid and gas under any conditions. However, this corrosive agent does not corrode physical objects, but rather electromagnetic waves. In other words, Zi Yu can cut off the control information source of mechanical dragons, causing them to stop functioning.

  In this way, even if mechanical dragons are present, they will not be afraid of being swept away.

  In comparison, Adamas was not so calm. The fierceness of Purple Rain was evident to all, and the principle he could also see, but there was no countermeasure. Indeed, Mechanical Dragon could explode and reassemble, becoming even more ferocious, but this was consumptive. Each time it reassembled, Mechanical Dragon's lifespan would be reduced by a few points.

  In other words, a mechanical dragon can only explode and reorganize three times at most. Once it exceeds three times, the mechanical dragon is completely scrapped and becomes a pile of slag. So time is pressing, if Adam wants to turn the tide, he must defeat the Raven Party completely before all the mechanical dragons have been reorganized three times!

  With Raven's support, the number of mechanical soldiers on both sides is now roughly equal. This implies that the war of attrition has disappeared, and what replaces it is a battle of life and death! Whoever wins will be the master of Holy City Tikal!

  "Hah, a few purple people think they can take down my dozen mechanical dragons? What a joke! Haha, this is perfect, I'll catch you all in one net. After today, I, the great Adamkus, will be the master of Holy City! Hahaha...!" Adamkus maniacally grinned, and detonated two mechanical dragons that had been sent to the battlefield, initiating their second reassembly.

  Immediately afterwards, Adamkus swung his large hand and the remaining mechanical dragons and artillery no longer hesitated, joining the battlefield with great momentum. Tens of mechanical dragons dispersed on the chaotic battlefield, splitting Raven's mechanical troops into dozens of parts.

  There is no doubt that this is a strategy of breaking up and eliminating one by one.

  "Two generals, brave warriors, Raven elder has let me command the ground battlefield, do you have any objections?" Seeing Fang Kai and others shook their heads, Kulen continued to say: "Very well, now please two brave warriors drive the war chariots, to attract the attention of the mechanical dragons, try to make them gather together, then wipe them out at once. As for the two generals, I'll trouble you to command from behind, lead the mechanical soldiers to wander around. And remember, never get hit by the mechanical dragon's fireballs, got it!"

  Kulun grasped Fang Kai's hand tightly, his expression sincere.

  It's too late to talk, and the time is fast. On this side, Fang Kai and others followed Kulun's command to take action, while on the other side, Kulun himself led many slaves to set up traps on the battlefield, trying to slow down the enemy's attack speed. War is like this, once one side grasps the rhythm, it's easy to achieve final success.

  And rhythm is driven by tactics, strategy and combat.

  Ruiwen stood on the deck, his eyes fixed intently on the battlefield below. Gradually, fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and his fists clenched unknowingly. This final battle was extremely important to him; if he lost, Adamax would take over. With his ambition, he would manufacture mechanical soldiers day and night to sweep away the forces surrounding Holy City, and ultimately dominate the Yucatan Peninsula!

  If it really develops into that, then there will be no peace on the peninsula, and everywhere will become a fertile ground for war, a paradise for gunpowder smoke. This is what Riven does not want to see. For the holy city, for the peace of Yucatan Peninsula, he must eliminate Adamas.

  Thinking of this, Riven gritted his teeth and slammed his fist heavily onto the railing.

  One mechanical soldier was crushed, one mechanical soldier was bombed. Laser beams, bullets, and fireballs filled the air as the smell of gunpowder wafted across the entire battlefield. Both sides were killing each other in silence, dying in silence.

  War has always been bloody, war has always been cruel. In this confrontation, both the Raven Party and Adamax suffered heavy losses, and most of the troops in the entire Holy City were thrown into this war!

  However, the Tikal Great Pyramid stood quietly under the clouds, like an old man with vicissitudes, casting a wise gaze into the ruthless battlefield.

  "Hmph, you insignificant ants, your doomsday has arrived!" Suddenly, Adamkus clenched his fists, and mechanical dragons charged towards the Raven Party soldiers, exploding and reassembling. The strange winds generated by the explosions blew all the mechanical soldiers to the ground. Almost simultaneously, Adamkus's mechanical army poured out, pouncing on the fallen mechanical soldiers of the Raven Party.

  "Damn it!" Fang Kai pounded the ground and got up. He looked around and found that there were several squads of fallen mechanical soldiers! Upon closer inspection, those mechanical soldiers were covered in scars, apparently caused by the strange wind.

  Because of the mechanical soldiers blocking, the range of the strange wind was limited to only the front of the battlefield. Kulen and the slaves standing in the back were not affected, but the problem was that Adam's purpose was not to blow away the enemy with the strange wind, but to disrupt their rhythm, thereby quickly gaining victory.

  Understanding this, Kulen licked his lips and then swiftly pulled out a bottle containing a blue substance from the bag opening. Kulen paused for a moment before tossing the bottle forward with force, sending it flying into mid-air. Without hesitation, Kulen took out his gun, aimed at the bottle, and fired a shot, causing the blue substance to splatter everywhere.

  These as soon as they encountered the air, immediately turned into rain threads, floating down on the mechanical soldiers who were lying on the ground, wounded and battered. As soon as the rain threads hit the mechanical soldiers' bodies, a miraculous scene suddenly appeared.

  Only the original cracks that crisscrossed were gradually healing. What was even more surprising was that the mechanical soldiers actually slowly "stood" up and re-entered the battle.

  Upon seeing this, Kulen let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, he still had one bottle of "Repair Potion" left; otherwise, Adamas would have succeeded. However, although the mechanical soldier was repaired, its combat strength was reduced by a bit compared to before.

  On the other side, Adam's mechanical dragon became even more frantic while his army of machines closed in. The situation suddenly turned unfavorable for Raven.

  Reven stood on the deck, his expression solemn and silent.
