Since the second that they were not in conflict with their own procedures, the mechanical creatures in the Royal city almost immediately broke a certain layer of protocol, and there was no need to rack their brains to think about the reasons and excuses for some caring actions towards the youth.

Just, at the same time, they also had no excuse to keep the youth in the palace now. Before, they could pretend to lock him up. Now, what reason could they use to keep the youth?

At the thought of this matter, the mechanical creatures in the palace could not help being more careful in their actions, for fear that the youth would think of leaving the royal city.

If they were good enough to the youth, the youth should be willing to stay and let them take care of him. Because of this idea, all the mechanical creatures in the Royal city began to envision in their hearts how they would raise a human being. i8eanW

“Du.” A small flower was clamped in the round clamp tool of the R-03 robot beside the youth, and it passed the flower to the youth.

This flower was not picked by it, but an N-type robot asked it to help give it to the youth.

A group of mechanical creatures were hiding nearby due to their huge bodies. It was easy for Gu Huai to see them. He took the flower and walked directly to the front of the group of mechanical creatures.

“I didn’t want to leave.” Gu Huai looked up at a group of mechanical creatures with metal bodies in front of him. His line of sight locked on one of the N-type robots with blue electronic eyes.

In the past, when they still felt that their actions were in conflict with the procedures, the mechanical creatures in the Royal city could rightfully approach the youth under the pretext that they needed to guard the youth to prevent the latter from escaping, although at that time they could not be fair to the youth.

Now that their actions and procedures were not in contradiction with proper logic, these mechanical creatures wanted to care for the human youth in the palace. Yes, but before approaching, they could not help worrying about one more thing at this time.

Other human beings… that was, the people of his kind were killed by them. Would the youth actually not want to see them? This was the concern of the mechanical creatures in the Royal City from the beginning, and now this concern was becoming more and more obvious.

The flowers, they were also worried that it would be rejected by the youth, so after picking flowers that they thought were beautiful, these N-type robots found the old type robots that were the earliest to follow the youth to help them deliver the flowers. 3VwGJN

Although it couldn’t be expressed in words, the N2 and N3 robots that also didn’t have human forms in the royal city were actually envious of the old robots with a small patch on them, because through data sharing, they knew that the youth once said these old robots were his family.

Family…

Hiding nearby, these mechanical creatures originally wanted to secretly observe the reaction of the youth after receiving the flowers, but now they were suddenly approached by the youth, and they were stuck in place collectively. They dared not to hide, but also dared not face him.

After being frozen for a while, a mechanical creature in the team hesitantly lifted its right hand. There was still a flower in its hand that had not been sent out. It spread out its right hand flat to quietly place it in front of the youth. “…Du.” 40l2Ex

The cold metal did not match the flowers filled with vitality. The mechanical creatures were weapons made by human beings to win the war. It was too surprising for them to make such a tender move in any way, but the mechanical creatures present did not feel this way.

At present, the youth was different and very important to them… a precious thing that needed their protection and favor.

It meant to hold him.

Subconsciously responding, the mechanical creature closest to the youth had carefully picked up the youth and safely placed it on his left shoulder.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Was the youth willing to be so close to them? Did it mean that he may also be willing to treat them as family…?

They couldn’t help thinking about this problem. These cold and massive N-type robots subconsciously surrounded the youth and guarded the center of the team. gJLdfG

“But I’m going to Ogg City. There are some things I need to talk to the people in the Kadrin Parliament face to face.” To explain, he didn’t want friendship between the two sides. Gu Huai only wanted to keep the two sides out of trouble.

Gu Huai discussed the matter with his family yesterday. The latter did not oppose it, but… Noah made it clear without expression that he would go with him at that time, and the other side was extremely firm on this point.

Ogg City was the joint capital city set up to resist the mechanical army, while the Kadrin Parliament was set up for the same reason.

The last time Gu Huai entered the city with more than a dozen old mechanical creatures, he received numerous watchful or hostile eyes. That time, if he would really taken Noah, Gu Huai could imagine the scene. kY0V9N

But he didn’t agree, so obviously the other was not willing to let him go back to Ogg City alone.

Even if he promised not to fight with other races anymore, for Noah, life forms other than the youth still did not belong to the friendly side, and he could not let his important treasure out of his own protective circle alone.

“I think I’ll be back soon. Please stay here and wait for me.” Sitting on the shoulder of an N-type robot, Gu Huai said, touching the head of the mechanical creature. It was a cold special metal, its temperature couldn’t be easily touched, but Gu Huai touched the side of its cheek and rubbed it.

The clearance value had reached the passing line. Although he didn’t want to say this, it really soared after Noah lost patience and restraint and tormented him all night. Gu Huai’s feelings about this were really complicated. rOCPwQ

If he ignored what he had done, the increase in clearance value was not incomprehensible. Gu Huai’s goal was to prevent other races… or to prevent the world from being destroyed, and the biggest factor that would cause the world to be destroyed at present were the mechanical creatures created by human beings in the Ark Project.

As long as they were willing to listen to him, this mission objective would undoubtedly be regarded as half completed.

Gu Huai forgot, however, that Noah was not the only one who would not trust him to leave the protection area and go to Ogg City. After listening to his words, the group of mechanical creatures surrounding him made several monotonous sounds in a row.

“Du, Du-“ 10frW7

Compared with the gentle sounds they used when speaking to the youth, the continuous noises of these mechanical creatures were obviously much faster now, showing completely different emotions.

Without a language module, the mechanical creatures in the palace expressed their ideas directly through actions. They continued to surround the youth and got so close because they were afraid to lose sight of him.

The youth was now the object of most concern for all mechanical creatures in the Royal City. Of course, it was not a secret that the former had to leave the Royal City to go to Ogg City. Before Gu Huai left the palace, it was already conveyed to the consciousness of every mechanical creature by data communication.

That alone meant the whole city was not quiet at all. Gbv20D

“The commander and the human youth cannot be allowed to go forward so lightly. In case the elves or lichs do anything, their safety will not be guaranteed.” This sentence was really questionable, but he had no such thing as a heart anyway. Serge’s face was unflustered when he said this.

As the same kind, the mechanical creatures in the Royal City certainly knew their commander better than those outside the city. It had to be said, these races even couldn’t cope with the N model mechanical creatures, so how could they hurt their commander.

Some N1 mechanical creatures could take the form of human beings, making the Kadrin parliament nervous. In such a comparison of strength, Noah’s ability was almost absolute.

Just as there was a qualitative difference between the N-type and the old type of mechanical creatures, Serge had always been very clear that there was also an insurmountable gap between them and their commander. mzVoFI

Type S, the model of the Ark Project’s final creation, was set above Type N. Noah was the only humanoid weapon belonging to this model.

However, even if this was a false statement, on hearing it, the voices of the mechanical creatures echoed in the hall. Even the N2 and N3 robots, which could not speak, were now closely attending the youth to demonstrate their own thoughts.

Now this scene, regarding Gu Huai’s decisions, the hidden forces that had been released after a few days were stupefied.

Earlier, when the youth was said to be locked up, all the humanoid machines present said that the underground cells were no longer usable, and instead he was locked up in a palace with a comfortable environment. When it came to the members of the hidden forces, all the rules would be followed. JSUOdr

Although the hidden forces had been released from their cells, their actions were still under tight surveillance. Just today, they were to be entertained in a palace, and a mechanical creature in the form of a human came in to expressionlessly brief them on what they needed to do.

They could understand every word, but the words formed sentences which made the group of thieves begin to doubt their ears.

Friendly negotiations, cessation of war, peaceful coexistence…? ? ?

These words heard in the sentence alone were enough to make the hidden forces stranded in this city dumbfounded, not to mention they were now watching a group of cold mechanical creatures circling around the human youth. K vqrT

The human youth whom the parliament asked them to come to rescue was being raised by these mechanical creatures.

Seeing was believing. The thieves from all races who were also staying in the palace could see clearly the attitude of the surrounding mechanical creatures towards the youth.

Like the mechanical creature that let the youth sit on its shoulders and, from time to time, turned its head to see if the youth had a stable seat. That was totally… a loving attitude, like doting on a child.

Under collective agreement, Gu Huai could only watch the expansion of the retinue of mechanical creatures with a tangled expression and a headache. When he finally left the Royal City, the team had already become an army in scale. And this army was larger than any mechanical army sent before. S92Y7w

Did that mean that, for these mechanical creatures, protecting the youth was more important than winning the war?

Along with the team, the hidden forces discovered that the Kadrin Parliament’s original estimation of the strength of the mechanical creatures had been wrong. In so many conflicts in the past, the mechanical creatures had never fully attacked them— 

Such a huge team, of course, couldn’t directly enter Ogg City. First of all, Ogg City was enveloped by the transmission device, and even if they transmitted to a location five hundred meters away, it was estimated that the allied races would start preparing for a fight.

For this reason, there needed to be people who could serve as a bridge between the two sides, and the members of the hidden forces were very good candidates. ngkLpC

The army group composed of mechanical creatures teleported to the edge of Ogg City’s alert range, which undoubtedly shocked the entire Kadrin Parliament. All races held their breath and waited for the battle order.

But, while waiting, the soldiers found that their superiors had not given them any instructions to prepare for the war. Instead, they waited for an order that made them very incredulous…

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

How could they dare let a small army of enemy troops into their city?!

Just receiving such an order, the people of all races in Ogg City soon saw a small army approaching the gate of the city. cEtYsp

Compared with the huge army on the edge of the range, this small team was not enough to arouse too much vigilance, but the idea only stopped before they saw the icy figure at the head of the team.

Noah.

Seeing this cold elite figure, the people present even let out a sigh of fear, their fingers slightly cold.

The last time they saw the other was on the battlefield. People of all races in Ogg City were reluctant to recall, because the hopelessness of being completely crushed in ability was too easy to kill a person’s will to fight. JDdKTi

But what made all the people in the city feel even more incredulous now was that the humanoid weapon in front of the team… His right hand was firmly grasped by the human youth beside him.

There was no ambiguous meaning to this scene. The eyes of the public somehow felt as if they had seen a dangerous sharp blade and a scabbard restraining the former.

The other came to talk about peace. The message from the superiors said so. But could the mechanical creatures be trusted? They could so casually bring such a level of killer mechanical creatures into the city??

Despite the controversy on this issue, the gate of Ogg City was finally opened. Only by talking about peace could various clans have a chance to survive. The Kadrin Parliament made this decision based on this point. 3HS Aa

This was actually something the leaders of the races had been aware of for a long time, just in order not to make the army passively accept the challenge, and everyone had deliberately obscured their understanding on this point.

The number of mechanical creatures entering the city was less than 20, but Noah’s presence and the presence of the other six humanoid machines led the Kadrin Parliament to send a large force to meet them. It was called “receiving”, which of course also meant prevention. Both sides knew it well.

In the mechanical team, the human youth they originally thought they had sacrificed and  the hidden forces they thought could not be rescued— both had been sacrificed in the mechanical creature’s city…

But now, the hidden troops had been brought back intact, and the human youth in front of them was surrounded by a group of mechanical creatures. All the facts completely subverted with their understanding. 6X9Z2u

This may really be a change… From a distance, looking at the humanoid weapon that was quiet and gently allowing the youth to grasp his hands, the people of all races in Ogg City could not suppress this idea.
