Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

In any case, the blood can only belong to either the Blood Demon or the Conqueror.

"My parents ran away a long time ago. I just can't bear to give up my job as a bank employee. Sigh."

A dust-covered Lentinium citizen, trembling, gripped a flashlight with a dwindling battery, leading other equally dusty Lentinium residents through the intricate underground structure.

"More than half a year ago, these demons—the Sarkaz army—were the image of the military."

Another Lontinimian, who was right behind him, sighed.

The bank clerk who led the way with the flashlight remembered that their bank manager had been captured by the Sarkaz because her husband worked in the city's defense forces, and had never been seen again.

The community's security personnel have also been replaced with horned creatures.

Because Lotin was wearing the Mountain Barrier, he was able to continue using vision similar to that of the Knight of Light to survey the surrounding environment. From the current situation, it seemed that the escape of the Londinium people was not deliberately hindered by the Sarkaz Military Council.

Just as Lotin didn't deliberately crush every enemy completely when he destroyed the Third Army or the Kazimierz garrison, he needed survivors to spread his fame.

Theresis didn't care at all about letting the nations of Terra know who the true controller of Lontinim was.

The Sarkaz, dressed in neat uniforms, appeared without warning on this tacitly permitted escape route, their armor, indeed of the Sarkaz style, produced by the Londinium Armory using Victorian techniques.

They are the Royal Army, unlike the Sarkaz mercenaries whose equipment and armor are varied and diverse. They are a true regular army with modern systems and standardized equipment—although the Sarkaz mercenaries are their undisputed predecessors.

"stop."

Wang Tingjun's soldiers noticed the eerie green will-o'-the-wisps mixed in with the refugee ranks.

Their purpose in appearing here was not to arrest refugees trying to escape, but to capture informants for the so-called "citizens' self-defense army." To the Sarkaz, they were a bunch of disobedient sluts.

These overconfident little creatures are currently hiding nearby, causing trouble for their work.

Unfortunately, this informant appears to be in Deeppool's hands now.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's you traitors."

The leading soldier of the royal court army scoffed at several suspicious-looking individuals in the ranks.

The crossbows were already strung; these Sarkaz seemed unwilling to wait for conclusive evidence before taking action.

The cloak was lifted, and the Deep Pool soldiers, with nowhere left to hide, launched a surprise attack.

“We have nothing to do with Victoria anymore, you filthy demon!”

"A bunch of exiled rabble who took advantage of the chaos to seize someone else's city and now think they're the masters of Londinium?"

The Deeppool soldiers retorted with equally sarcastic language.

"You are the only ones who care about Lentinium."

"We'd rather see it reduced to ruins. The Sarkaz are here only because the Demon King is here!"

Lotin also overheard their conversation and knew that the demon king here was not Theresis, the regent who had never wanted to be crowned.

Theresa, who has been "resurrected," is also in this city.

"No matter what, we cannot befriend this person."

The soldiers of Deep Pool had no intention of releasing the prisoners and continued their stalemate with the royal army.

Skadi threw a steel bar from the shadows, killing a Royal Army soldier. Lotin remembered that this man was probably an informant who could help Rhodes Island's main operations team enter the city, so he stepped in to help.

Moreover, the more blood within the ritual area, the better.

At this moment, both Deep Pool and the Royal Court Army believed that the other side had fired the first arrow, so the Sarkaz roared that those stained with Sarkaz blood would pay the price.

The short swords and two-handed swords clashed, and these Deep Pool soldiers were clearly no match for the Royal Army soldiers. In the melee, they gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Squeak, squeak."

The rusty metal emitted a teeth-grinding sound, and two eerie beams of light shot out from the dim corners of the passage.

"aieeeeeeeee, Brass Ghost, Brass Ghost why?!"

The approaching threat of death, mental confusion, and the stark consistency between terrifying legends and the phenomena before his eyes—these cold, hard elements came together to trigger his NRS (Nautilus Reality Shock) response.

In other words, they fell into a deep state of panic.

"What a joke, you coward from Deep Pool!"

"Stop messing with me, you idiot from Deeppool!"

These mercenaries, now regular soldiers of the Royal Court, were certainly familiar with the Brass Ghost, but the exaggerated expressions and strange cries of the Deeppool soldiers led them to believe that it was merely a performance by the Tara people when they were desperate.

Until two beams of light shone on his face.

A cold and taciturn hunter, a twisted and grinning nun, a towering and imposing giant.

For a moment, neither side cared about capturing the informant; they were trying to escape the terror brought by the Brass Ghost.

Unfortunately, they couldn't do it.

Chapter 108: Using the Same Trick Again

"Bronze Ghost! Damn it, you coward from Deeppool, did you throw in a gold coin?"

"You demon, you weren't the one who threw those gold coins!"

The fighting between the Deep Pool soldiers and the Royal Court soldiers has temporarily ceased, and the green and white soldiers are gradually retreating.

It wasn't that they didn't want to run, but that their legs were too weak to move.

The giant anchor was hurled by the brass giant, not by the Q skill [Clear the Channel], but simply by Lotin throwing it as a blunt weapon with a chain.

Several Deeppool soldiers were crushed first; they were lucky enough not to encounter Lottin in Little Hill County, but now it was their turn to suffer.

Chunks of flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and pieces of entrails and the giant anchor were pulled back by the brass giant.

The force of the giant anchor retracting was enough to break the spines of the royal army soldiers in its path.

Sister Agor's circular saw roared, slicing open the breastplate, tearing flesh apart, and gushing out Goliath's blood.

The hunter's greatsword more simply and brutally shattered the victim's physical structure. Her power was originally designed to kill far more terrifying beings, and these land people were not even punching bags to her.

After the wailing in the corridor ceased, Luo Ting turned to his still-shaken informant and said:

"Go where you belong."

The informant nodded nervously, ignoring the bits of flesh stuck to his face, and staggered to his feet, moving towards the other end of the passage.

"Nautilus, which way do we go?"

Skadi tried to use her deep-sea hunter's keen senses to detect air currents in order to find a possible exit.

"The old way."

Lothing walked to a wall, raised his giant anchor, and began to strike. [Nash's Tooth] kept Lothing's giant anchor constantly surrounded by magical energy.

The magical energy of the deep-sea titans, like raging tides, shook the physical structure of the wall, causing it to collapse with a deafening roar.

"Just like back in Little Hills, right?"

Skadi's greatsword began to blast through wall after wall.

In Little Hill, he did indeed use the exact same method to dig into the city's defensive cannons.

This time, Lotin is going to dismantle one of the defensive cannons in Londinium, the one that was destroyed in the original storyline. Digging in the correct direction will ensure success.

Lotin was worried that the cannon fire would disrupt the stability of the ceremony and interfere with his actions, so he chose to destroy the city's defensive cannons first.

It's going to rain soon.

In the original storyline, the storm was created by the Regent using the broken building, and Lotin, who entered battle mode, accelerated the process of these dark clouds beginning to rain.

In the original storyline, it actually rained in Lontinim, but because of Lotin's presence, the rain would only come sooner and last longer.

Therefore, digging underground and setting up the ceremony allows one to take advantage of favorable weather conditions while ensuring the stability of the ritual patterns.

Let it rain, it won't affect anything. You can reach the Sarkaz altar even in the shallow underground passages.

"A riot has broken out at Exit 312!"

"Reporting to the general, it appears that a conflict has broken out between the so-called Citizens' Self-Defense Army or Deep Pool Force and the patrol team. The patrol team has been lost contact."

A royal army soldier reported to General Sarkaz, who was in charge of the city's defenses.

Thick shoulder armor, long pale yellow hair, a sharply defined face, and an imposing presence—he was none other than Manfred, the Regent's student.

"General, should we send reinforcements?"

Manfred simply waved his hand, saying that the parameters of a city defense cannon could be calibrated in eight minutes, just eight minutes.

Behind him, a one-eyed Sarkaz mercenary leader was observing Manfred's reaction to the riot.

Rhodes Island shouldn't be at Exit 312; only someone else could be there.

But who could that be?

Brass Ghost?

The powerful support Rhodes Island received in Chernobog crushed the Reunion Movement and the Ursus Third Army.

Is Rhodes Island planning to use his power to tip the scales this time as well?

"Hedley, does your left eye still hurt?"

Manfred's question came out of nowhere; it's rare to see a mercenary leader so eager to please a general.

"A year has passed, it's all better now."

This was a ruse orchestrated by mercenary leader Hedley to gain Manfred's trust; his loyalty did not belong to the Sarkaz Military Council.

“Since that day, I have never doubted our friendship.”

Hedley executed traitors and proved his innocence in front of Manfred without exception.

"General, we are ready."

The messenger reported that the city's defensive cannons had been tested and adjusted.

Do you want to press the button?

Hedley politely declined. A spy like him was already likely to incur the wrath of the Brass Ghost, and if he were to press the launch button, it would only increase the risk of him being eliminated by the Brass Ghost.

Ha. When did I realize that even city cannons couldn't do anything to the Brass Ghost?

A secondary cannon from a city defense artillery spewed out a devastating stream of molten metal, covering a large area where Lotin was located.

The scalding heat melted almost everything in its path, and the underground passage that Lotin had passed through collapsed.

"They did indeed attempt to shell the area where I was."

Knowing the plot, how could Loting not know that Manfred had seized and was working to restore the functionality of a city defense cannon?

If Lotin, in its normal state of being gigantic, were to be directly hit by the main gun of Londinium's city defense cannon, which is powerful enough to cripple a high-speed warship with a single shot, the situation could be quite dangerous.

But this was only one-tenth of its secondary guns firing.

Moreover, Lotin is still digging underground, so even if the main gun fires, it's impossible to hit Lotin directly.

Manfred dared not massacre the civilians in the city, fearing that starting the main cannons to bombard the city would lead to the Grand Dukes outside the city being driven to their deaths.

Furthermore, Lotin also has Flash and Giant Form as trump cards.

The reality is that the surrounding brass hatches, at the cost of several broken doors, blocked all the debris and molten metal.

【Winter's Arrival】Upgraded to 【Doomsday Winter】by fulfilling the passive conditions, this provides bonus health equal to 8% of mana.

The passive effect of this item doesn't even require a hero unit to stack, so Lotin had already stacked quite a few layers in Kazimierz, and then just a few hits in Londinium were enough to fulfill the requirement.

Therefore, with the mana provided by the equipment and the mana bonus from [Mana Stream], Lothing gained approximately 1268 health from this item.

In other words, the shield provided by the W skill (which scales with maximum health) has now exceeded 1000 points, far exceeding Lothing's maximum health when facing the Bell Ringer at level 3.

Even if the secondary gun fires a direct hit, it's probably not enough; it wouldn't even be able to break through a shield with a single shot.

Skadi was shielded in front of him by his arm, and together with Laurentina, they were within the protection range of the W skill, sheltered from the high temperature and shrapnel.

Lotin stated that with the skill speed boost provided by [Doomsday Winter] and [Nash's Tooth], the cooldown of his W skill was shorter than the reload time of the opponent's cannon.

Teacher Daman, go ahead and blow it up if you want.

The secondary guns of the Londinium city defenses fired, but they couldn't harm him.

The brass giant, carrying the hunter in one hand and the nun on his shoulder, broke through the collapsed metal supports and walked on the gradually solidifying molten metal.

"Those annoying firecrackers, just take them down."
