This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1279 - 568: World-Shocking Warship_2

"That makes sense..."

"Wait, if that’s the case, aren’t the other Sky Cities in danger too?" Solomon exclaimed in surprise.

"I’m afraid so..."

Before the two could finish their conversation,

Holy Light Nana sent a crying emoji.

"Sunset City has been invaded as well?" Solomon asked.

"I just received a message from players in Twilight City. Ten minutes ago, Twilight City, which had been stationary within the territory of the Fatima Empire, suddenly started moving, flying away from the empire’s border, heading east. Neither I nor the Deputy City Lord issued any command to move Twilight City before we went offline..."

"This..."

Everyone gasped when they read the message.

Combining this with the incident Blue Beard encountered, it was obvious that Twilight City had suffered a similar robot attack and, from the looks of it, it wasn’t just an ambush - they had seized control of the skies and taken over the command of the Sky City.

Mu You sighed at this revelation. It was certain now that the Mech People from the Abyss had mobilized.

The Famal Empire is located close to the Abyss, and Twilight City, stationed there, was likely the closest of all the Sky Cities to the Abyss.

Next closest was Blue Beard’s Sunset City. It was very possible that the assault on Twilight City had started before the one on Sunset City, it’s just that Blue Beard had more manpower and better communication.

As everyone paused from their discussion, Blue Beard came online again and immediately brought bad news as he entered the group chat.

"Damn, these robots are so freaking tough! How come I can’t kill them?"

"Can’t kill? What do you mean?" People were puzzled by Blue Beard’s message.

"Just as it says. I even activated my Divine Skin and went at them one punch at a time, but these damned things, no matter how many times I kill them, they keep reviving fast..." Blue Beard cursed.

"Uh..."

People were still confused.

But Mu You understood immediately: the attacking robots were definitely Terminators!

"How many Mech People have come?" Mu You asked urgently.

"Ninety-nine... oddly enough, the number of robots exactly matches the number of people we have on the other side."

Ninety-nine...

This number made Mu You frown too. He and Medicinal Plant Gatherer had had trouble handling two Terminators before and had to resort to using the Shadow Fur Ball’s seal.

And now there were suddenly nearly a hundred Terminators. Even Shadow Space might not be able to contain them...

"How is it now? Did you win? Why did you come back?" Baron of Hell asked.

"Ah, don’t even mention it, these creatures are simply not something normal players can handle. Plus, I had just used my Divine Skin, so its attributes hadn’t fully recovered yet, and I ran out of stamina after fighting for just a short while."

"Sunset City then? It hasn’t been occupied too, has it?" Baron of Hell asked further.

"Not yet, fortunately I arrived just in time. The authority wasn’t affected, and after I got there, I immediately issued a retreat order for Sunset City. Now my people are defending the city, fighting and retreating. I came back first to report and also wanted to hear everyone’s opinion on how to defend under this situation," Blue Beard asked.

Everyone understood his meaning. Despite these robots being only a few dozen, the fact that they couldn’t be killed meant they could maintain a non-stop assault on Sunset City.

In this aspect, players clearly couldn’t outlast the machinery. Stamina was only one aspect; even more importantly was the portal limit, as for every day the players stayed in the Star Spirit World, their life force was being burnt away. Defending for two or three days was fine, but the longer it dragged on, no one could afford it.

"What exactly do these robots want by going to such lengths to take our cities?" Solomon asked, puzzled.

"No matter what they’re planning, we’re now clearly at odds with these robots, and stopping their actions can’t be wrong."

It was then Mu You spoke up in the group: "These robots have crawled out of the Great Abyss. Since Twilight City and Sunset City have been ambushed, it’s very likely that all eleven Sky Cities are their targets. If we let them be, the rest of the Sky Cities will probably suffer the same fate... My suggestion is that all City Lords immediately take whoever they can mobilize to the Star Spirit World, control Sky Cities to retreat away from the Abyss, and ensure at all costs that their cities do not fall to the Mech People."

"Right."

"Let’s take action then..."

"We mustn’t delay..."

...

Everyone agreed with Mu You’s proposal and started preparing to move out.

However, just at that moment, the Son of Heaven, who had been silent until now, suddenly left a message.

"Wait, I have a piece of news that I’ve just obtained. Before we set off, it’s best that everyone checks it out."

"What news?" someone asked.

The Son of Heaven didn’t explain, but instead directly posted a video file a few dozen seconds long in the group chat.

Everyone clicked to watch.

The video seemed to be a recorded image from a crystal of memory, then filmed with a mobile phone, hence the quality was rather blurry.

The first frame showed a rural landscape with some hills. Several medicinal plant gatherers with baskets on their backs were collecting herbs on the mountainside.

"Look, what is that?"

Suddenly, an exclamation rang out, followed by the camera immediately panning upwards to focus on the dark clouds in the sky.

The thick, rolling clouds, a huge Iron Monster broke through the tumbling clouds, appearing before everyone’s eyes.

A dark expanse, like an eclipse, cast a shadow over the entire land.

It was a gargantuan steel fortress, its size comparable to a human capital city, shaped like a ship, reminiscent of the legendary Space Battleships.
