A week later, Gate of Hell close to former Ilter Capital
One of the Gates of Hell opened very near to the former capital city of the Ilter Federation. This gate was fortified with special care, as the city was housing now several thousand Sacred Devourer Ghouls and even some Vampires that left Imperial Capital to come here.
Suddenly the Gate of Hell started shining with violent light, and hundreds of thousands of weird mechanical armored beasts started coming out like a wave of the ocean. Fortunately, soldiers of the Holy Niflheim Empire were prepared for them, and countless Magitek Infantry Soldiers were prepared to fight. From observation, one could see that the weakest is the close-combat armored beast, and it is on par with a Type 4 Divine Warrior, similarly to Magitek Infantry Soldiers, they fought with perfect precision and coordination, absolutely unafraid of death.
Magitek Infantry Soldiers, composed of Armored Sorcerer-Type, Armored Assassin-Type, and Armored Swordsman-Type clashed ferociously with those weird mech beast and killed them like flies. This was the disparity of strength. Of course, those weird mech beasts weren't that useful. With their overwhelming numbers, they have managed to kill more than twenty thousand Magitek Infantry Soldiers with suicide attacks. Thought it lowered their numbers by more than one million.
"Commander, based on our estimations, the commander should be the sentient robots. They are constantly jamming our signals, but as we have been focused on Magitek, all their attempts are futile. Those sentient mechs are at the level of Type 7 Divine Warrior, comparable to weeks Magitek Infantry Soldier. What is the order?" Reported one of the younger officers assigned to this Gate of Hell.
"How is the state of the invader army and our Magitek Infantry Soldiers?" Asked commander that was responsible for holding the fort here.
"Invader army has reached number around ten million, while Magitek Infantry Soldiers are only one hundred thousand. If this goes this way, I can predict that after two hours, Magitek Infantry Soldiers would be wiped out by endless hordes of those mech beasts. This is some kind of Mech civilization, though it is weak for our standards, they make it up with their terrifying numbers. Even the Greater God World isn't that simple as it seems." Sighed officer slightly.
"Hmm... even though Magitek Infantry Soldiers are just pawns if we lose them all it would be detrimental. Bring me my armor. We will attack them too, and send messages to the 3rd Squad of Ardent Fleet, they can attack with their battlesh.i.p.s too." Barked commander as a powerful aura of Pinnacle-Phase Count-Rank and Jindan Realm exploded from him.
Meanwhile, those sentient robots saw that place they have invaded is very strong, so they prepared for a fight to the death. There were tens of them, each with the power of Peak-Grade Type 7 Divine Warrior. The core of the Mech Kingdom were these sentient robots. Each of them had their own unique abilities. Be it transforming into tanks, fighter jets, battlesh.i.p.s, or even satellites, they were incredibly adaptive. Several of them, already transformed into their combat modes, that are able to multiply their strength.
Behind the mech beast army, a sentient robot, who had yellow skin and black hair, stepped up to speak: "Bardonia, today, we have probably chosen the bad opponent. Even though we hold the numerical advantage, their strength is all around Type 7 to even Type 8. Not counting those humanoids back there."
"They don't have any satellites around the planet, only some sort of huge fortress-like thing flying above the orbit. When Fang tried to bring it under his control he was killed immediately." This caught the interest in the rest of sentient mechs.
"What it is? Is it some kind of Gold-Grade Treasure of Hope? If we are able to bring it back into the Mech Kingdom, Mech Emperor His Majety would reward us handsomely!" Said excitedly one of the sentient mechs that looked like some jet.
While they were discussing their plan of combat, suddenly a huge wave of energy hit them, killing several of them all together in a matter of seconds. It was the darkness energy sent there by the commander of the Imperial Army stationed there to protect the Gate of Hell. His strength was already comparable to the Peak-Grade Type 9 Divine Warrior in this cultivation system.
"T-t-ype 9 Divine Warrior!" Screamed one of the sentient mechs, before he was cut in half by the axe of the commander.
"Kill all of those scraps of iron. Capture a few of them for interrogation. Those mech beasts, destroy them all, and sent them to factories. They would make good material. From this, I should get enough contribution to get a promotion." Smiled commander slightly as he cut down another three Type 7 sentient mechs. When he got to the fourth one, it started screaming the word 'surrender' and was captured soon enough.
"Commander what should we do with those sentient mechs?" Asked one of the soldiers, that was holding in his grip one of those sentient mechs that were captured alive.
"Send them to HQ, I believe some Magisters there would be more than happy to look at such a fine specimen." Answered commander as he looked over the battlefield. Fortunately, they have managed to stop endlessly-seeming waves of mech beast in time. Right now the Gate of Hell was closed, but he still requested for reinforcements, so one more Holy Imperial Knight would come here. Right now there was one, but to be perfectly sure... This gate fell under the protection of Arima, but alas he didn't see a reason to interfere. Still, with such numbers, when more came, even Arima would be forced to partake in battle.
