Mechanical God Emperor

Chapter 37 – Great Knight Budd

Translator: Xaiomoge

To recruit Knight rank experts wasn’t easy. In general, the salary of a Knight rank expert was 20 gold coins per month, which amounted to 240 gold coins per year. 200 Knight rank experts had to be paid 48,000 gold coins in wages per year. If you added the various equipment of Knight rank experts into the equation, then the expenditure would be even more frightening. Only Fernandro Principality’s royal family could recruit 200 Knight rank powerhouses.

Gars’ eyes shimmered with astonishment, and he exclaimed: “Knights? How come these Knight rank experts are so formidable? Could they all be Great Knights? Otherwise, how could they withstand the assault of the mounted bandits?”

Under the astonished gazes of the youngsters, the 200 level-4 bladed robots killed all bandits, only sparing the bandit leader Budd with Great Knight rank cultivation base.

Even though these bladed robots were simplified version. Nevertheless, they still weren’t existences that ordinary humans could defeat.

“Impossible! What sort of freaks are you? What sort of freaks are you!!” Brandishing his blade, Budd hacked at a level-4 bladed robot and sent it flying. Seeing that he was surrounded by the 200 level-4 bladed robots, his eyes flickered with despair, and he roared.

200 level-4 bladed robots could chop Budd to tatters. Even Earth Knight rank powerhouses couldn’t withstand the siege of 200 level-4 bladed robots.

Yang Feng swept Budd with a glance and said indifferently: “Surrender! I happen to lack a Great Knight slave! I’ll give you three seconds to consider! If you don’t surrender, then you can drop dead!”

Clenching his saber and gritting his teeth, Budd said in a loud voice: “Sir, if you promise not to sell me to a Warlock to conduct human experiments, then I’ll surrender! Furthermore, I’m willing to serve you, Sir! Otherwise, you should just kill me!”

It was very easy to sell Great Knight rank slaves in the slave market! One of the materials that some Warlocks who carried out human experiments required were Knight rank powerhouses or higher. Once they fell into the hands of such Warlocks, a lot of Great Knights who were reduced to slaves in times of war would have a miserable ending.

“Take this headring and necklace and put them on! If you serve me sincerely, I won’t sell you to any Warlock.” Yang Feng waved his hand, and a bladed robot with a headring and necklace in hand walked up to Budd.

“Yes! Sir!” After seeing the headring and necklace, Budd’s complexion changed slightly, and he hesitated. Eventually, he gave a long sigh, dropped the saber in his hand, and put on the headring and necklace.

Yang Feng spoke indifferently: “These two items are secret treasures refined by the Steel Lord. Once you harbor harmful thoughts towards me, you’ll blow up into fragments, so you’d better behave.”

Budd’s face registered several changes. Finally, he said meekly: “Yes! Sir! I understand!”

In addition to the mechanical legion, Yang Feng also had to expand his influence within the Turandot Subcontinent. Recruiting a Great Knight like Budd who was considered an elite talent only brought benefits.

“The Steel Lord’s mechanical legion is truly amazing!” Gars admired sincerely. He walked up to Yang Feng, saying: “I am Gars, the son of the Warlock College Antalya’s level-1 Warlock Abel. To be escorted by the Steel Lord’s mechanical legion, are you the Steel Lord’s only kin Yang Feng?”

Yang Feng replied with a light smile: “Yes, I am him.”

Gars uttered: “Thank you for your help.”

Yang Feng scanned the aristocratic youngsters with a glance, and an enigmatic glint flashed past his eyes: “It was as easy as raising my hand! Besides, if I’m not mistaken, we’re ought to become fellow students soon.”

The Warlock College Antalya would have students enroll once a year, and the age restriction of the enlisted students was from 14 to 18 years old. The students who traveled to the Warlock College Antalya were mostly 14 years old. After passing the entrance exam, they would join the Warlock College Antalya. Thus, the dozen aristocratic youngsters standing before Yang Feng were approximately 14 years old, while Gars, who was oldest, was only 16 years old.

Yang Feng, who was already in his twenties, looked to be out of place as he stood among the youngsters.

Gars introduced the dozen youngsters to Yang Feng.

For the most part, the dozen youngsters were aristocrats from the Poten Principality. Originally, the aristocratic youngsters employed a large mercenary group and a joint personal guard squad with more than 100 people. Just the Knight rank experts they employed numbered 5 people. However, there were traitors within the large mercenary group. Attacked from both inside and outside, the large mercenary group collapsed. The joint personal guard squad was wiped out by the Storm Wolves, and only the dozen aristocratic youngsters managed to escape.

With a fragrance wafting from her, Shi Xue came out of the camp and went next to Yang Feng.

When Shi Xue appeared, the gazes of Gars and company, whether male or female, were firmly attracted by her. She was not only astonishingly beautiful, but also had a natural charm to her, which made her attractiveness toward males even more amazing. Although Yang Feng was in contact with her, but he didn’t dare to look at her too often. Otherwise, with his ordinary physique, he would have already yielded to her charm, unable to extricate himself.

Gars looked at Shi Xue with a look of infatuation in his eyes and said: “Yang Feng, can you introduce me to this fairy-like, beautiful lady?”

Eyes limpid like water, Shi Xue smiled sweetly and said: “Hello, I am Big Brother Yang Feng’s little sister Shi Xue! Nice to meet you!”

When the aristocratic youngsters saw Shi Xue’s beautiful smile, for which men and women alike would kill, their minds stirred. With her natural charm, whether men or women, everyone would have a favorable impression of her.

In midair, there was a short eagle tamer scout lying prone on a eagle’s back. The short tamer had the giant eagle fly into the distance.

“Come again! Use your flesh and blood to establish the Steel City’s prestige.” Yang Feng suddenly looked up at the giant eagle in the distance and whispered.

High in the clouds, above Yang Feng, the floated a micro reconnaissance satellite, surveying.

That giant eagle flew until an enormous camp that extended for a dozen kilometers, and then descended and headed for the largest tent.

Exuding a brutal aura, a burly middle-man with blue eyes and a blade scar across his face sat in the seat of honor inside the largest tent.

This brawny, blue-eyed middle-aged man was the Thousand Men Butcher Gria, the most powerful and cruel bandit leader in the Hunting Fangs Wilderness. He was the sole Sky Knight – comparable to a level-1 Warlock in terms of fighting prowess, in the Hunting Fangs Wilderness. Through numerous battles, he killed more than 1,000 bandits and caravan guards and established himself as the Hunting Fangs Wilderness’s most feared overlord.

“200 Knight rank mechanical golems! Moreover, he has 2,000 guards in total! In other words, he has 2,000 Knight rank golem guards.” After he finished listening to the report of the eagle tamer scout, Gria’s face darkened, and he spoke slowly.
