Exploring the mechanical realm is full of unpredictable surprises.

Because the land of the mechanical realm is composed of huge gears, and these gears will move slowly.

Sauron's trip was for the knowledge left over from the Arcane Empire and the corpses of ancient gods floating near the mechanical realm, so he didn't really want to deal with the Fumi ants, and he didn't want to meet the legendary mother of ten thousand ants. .

The ant race is very difficult to deal with in the Zerg, and it is more dangerous than the mutant Zerg at the bottom of the bottomless abyss.

but.

Just after advancing for more than ten miles, Sauron met the Fumi ants.

This time, it was not the workers, but the warriors of the Fumi ant clan. There were more than ten of them. This time it was impossible to solve it by magic. Sauron directly took out the machete and cut them all in one second kill.

"what happened!"

"Could it be that the location where I came to be the gathering place of the Fumi ants?"

Sauron clearly felt that something was wrong. In the wild, groups of Fumi ant warriors rarely appeared, unless they used this place as a new colony. Formians like to expand their territory, occupying cogs one by one and converting them into colonies of their own. If there are other races to control them, I am afraid that the Fumi ants can occupy the entire mechanical realm.

"what?"

"what is this?"

Sauron suddenly found a small emblem next to the corpses of the Formi ants. This emblem looks very special and a bit like the symbol of a monk sect, but Sauron knows that this is not a monk sect like the material plane. , but another sect of creatures, some of whom also seem to live in the realm of machinery.

Sauron quickened his pace.

Sure enough, many traces of battle were found ahead!

Soon he saw the corpses of many Fumi ants, as well as another slender human race.

"Githzerai?!"

Sauron bent over and looked at the corpse. The Githzerai were a bit similar to the Githyanki, but they were a race that advocated the teachings of monks. There were a large number of monks among the Githzerai, and they still possessed Psionic monk.

The githzerai are natural psionic monks.

"There seems to be a gathering place for the Githzerai around here!"

Just by distinguishing the surrounding situation, Sauron vaguely guessed something, because there were buildings destroyed by the Formi ants. It was clear that the expanding colonies of the Formi ants had affected the githzerai homeland, and conflict inevitably broke out. The strength of the Githzerai is very strong. Basically, there are at least a dozen corpses of the Fumi ants next to the corpse of a Githzerite. However, the number of Formi ants is very large. According to the traces of the battle, in the end, the Githzerai should have been forced to abandon their homes and retreat to the north.

Sauron stood on the spot and thought for a while, and then walked towards the north.

The githzerai are a relatively rare race, and he has never seen a living githzerai with his own eyes.

The footprints on the ground became more and more flustered. It seemed that the retreating Githzerai were being pursued by the Formi ants. Sauron couldn't help but quicken his pace, and then simply used the flying technique directly.

Zizizi!

After advancing for dozens of kilometers, Sauron finally saw the figure of the Githzerai, but the battle was drawing to a close.

More than a dozen Ghisserai were surrounded by hundreds of Formi ants, and hundreds of people and more Formi ants had fallen on the ground. The githzerai fight in a very similar way to monks, but they use psionics to coordinate their battles and have some astral and teleportation abilities.

If there is no accident, these githzerai will eventually be killed by the Formi ants.

Sauron thought for a while, and finally decided to take action. He quietly escaped into the shadows, and then lurked close to the generals of the Formi ant clan. This kind of ant clan was very obvious, like the leader of a soldier ant in a group of ants. To go out in a circle.

"Shadow Attack!"

There was nothing fancy during the battle, Sauron just cut off the head of the ant clan general with one knife.

Then, chaos broke out among the irresistible Formi ants. At this time, Sauron also appeared, almost one knife at a time. In the blink of an eye, more than ten Formi ants fell under his knife.

The Formie ants panicked.

The invincible formidable enemy made them terrified, and when hundreds of Formi ants died under the sword of Sauron, they finally began to retreat.

On the other side, the surviving Githzerai kept staring blankly at Sauron, as if they had seen some kind of monster, so they watched Sauron wipe out hundreds of Fumi ants by himself.

"Thank you for your help!"

After repelling all the Fumi ants, an old-faced Githzerai came to Sauron, folded his hands and said respectfully, "Thank you for saving my clan."

Sure enough, it's the style of a monk.

The githzerai are internally organized by sects, just like the astral fortresses of the githyanki, the githzerai make up the entire ethnic group with different styles of monks.

"Hands up."

Sauron smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at them and said: "This place should be regarded as a new colony by the Formi ants. They will not give up easily, and they should come back soon. You better Move to other places."

The old githzerai nodded, then looked sadly at the corpse of the tribe.

But after all, he believed in the teachings of warrior monks, so he quickly packed up his emotions and said, "Your Excellency seems to be from another plane? Do you know what I can do for you?"

Githzerai don't like to owe favors.

It seems that no one in the lawful alignment likes to owe favors to others.

Sauron thought for a while and said, "I was commissioned by a friend to find some relics related to the Arcane Empire in the mechanical realm. Do you know where they are?"

During the Arcane Empire period, there was a floating city in the mechanical realm.

Hearing the words, the elder of the Githzerai showed hesitation, and said slowly: "Are the ruins of the Arcane Empire? Are you looking for the floating city?"

"The floating city fell in a city to the south of the Fumi ants."

"It has now become the base camp of the Formi ants, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of Formi ants entrenched in it. I do not recommend that you go alone."

really!

These ants everywhere are a problem.

After hearing the news, Sauron couldn't help frowning, then nodded and said, "I understand. You should leave quickly. The Fumi ants should be back soon."

After he finished speaking, he also turned and walked to the other side.

If the floating city really fell into the city of the Fumi ant clan, it would be a very unwise choice for Sauron to go alone, because he could not bring anything back at all. However, he has already left his own foreshadowing in the mechanical realm very early. It is very difficult to clean up the tens of thousands of Fumi ants, but if you can borrow money, it should not be a big problem.

"Looks like we're going to find those Tarlings!"

Taring is a very advanced constructing life, and the most in the mechanical realm are all kinds of metals and parts. There are many constructing beings here, as well as special sanctioners. If these towerings want to gain a firm foothold in the mechanical realm If they are, they will definitely be integrated into the construct life, and with their abilities, they can quickly create a group of construct puppets in the mechanical realm.

There must be a queen in an ant city.

What Sauron had to do was to deal with the queen, and then the other bugs would find another way. If it couldn't work, they could only send the Golem Legion from Modo City.

I just don't know if the interplanetary teleportation operation can be completed with the current alchemy tree of Modo City!

Sauron thought about it seriously, and thought it was better to see if there were any other residents nearby. If he could provoke them to counterattack the Fumi ants, it would definitely reduce the number of troops invested. Because in the mechanical realm, creatures from other planes exist, angels, devils, blue dragons, green dragons, mind flayers, etc., all may live in the mechanical realm.

However, according to Sauron's habit, he still had to prepare his back.

So he transferred his mind to the third layer of the bottomless abyss, where the demon incarnation-Sauron is located. Although the mechanical realm is very unfriendly to the demons of the chaotic camp, if he can summon a demon army, it should be able to solve a lot of troubles.

………………

The Bottomless Abyss, the third floor, the Forgotten Land.

After slow accumulation and the blessing of power brought by the crazy expansion of the territory, Sauron finally underwent a qualitative change.

………………

Balor, who was promoted as a demon lord.

Sauron's strength is stronger than other Balor Flame Demons, and even his average attribute is about 2 points higher. He is now following the path of the Balor Flame Demon Lord, and he will definitely need to advance to become a leader in the future.

From the initial creation to the promotion, the strength of the demon incarnation has surpassed most of the demigods.

Sauron is now equivalent to cultivating a constant incarnation of a demigod or more alone, and in the future it may even reach the level of weak divine power!
