Chapter 1286: Chapter 395 Machinery City*Dragon Hunter No. 4 Chapter 1286: Chapter 395 Machinery City*Dragon Hunter No. 4 Hearing that he was coming, the old friend was very surprised and said she also happened to have some things to discuss.

Catherine Carter was punctual as usual.

Leonard Churchill had only been waiting at the arranged spot for a few minutes when a striking blonde woman in a white military uniform emerged from the darkness.

Leonard Churchill had of course noticed the newcomer early on and took a moment to size up this old friend, his gaze lighting up ever so slightly.

It had to be said, despite several months of absence, there seemed to be little change in Catherine’s appearance, still radiant and beautiful, but that air of authority was now more pronounced.

It added a sense of cold and aloof inaccessibility to her.

However, seeing Leonard Churchill, Catherine’s haughtiness dissolved instantly, and a happy smile surfaced on her pretty face as she took the initiative to say, “Leonard Churchill, long time no see.”

Leonard Churchill also smiled brightly, “Long time no see.”

As he spoke, he added, “Miss Carter, you look very pretty today.”

It was a courteous, standard greeting for a meeting.

But as the two were quite familiar with each other, Catherine did not say thank you, instead she asked playfully, “Oh? Was I not pretty before?”

Leonard Churchill laughed and shook his head, “Of course.”

“Thank you~”

Catherine raised an eyebrow.

Seemingly delighted by the old friend’s compliment, she then explained, “I put on some light makeup because you were coming.”

Leonard Churchill glanced at her and smiled, “I am honored.”

As he spoke, his gaze flicked around the surroundings; it was clear he sensed there were more guards around than before, and the security was tighter.

Catherine was quick-witted, picking up on his sidelong glances and explained, “The situation has been a bit special recently… Let’s walk and talk.”

Leonard Churchill: “Hmm.”

…

Catherine led Leonard Churchill toward the deep mountains and soon they entered the underground.

During their light chatter, Leonard Churchill also learned that the Alliance Army had been developing rather well on the Old Continent recently.

With the focus of the people of the Southern Continent on the Eastern Wilderness, the Alliance Army guerrillas, still without a stable government, didn’t attract much interest from the higher-ups of the Ariel Empire.

This granted the Alliance Army a rare opportunity to grow.

They stockpiled grain, dug deep into the Underground City, and explored the Relics…

In just a few months, their scale had become quite substantial.

There was no need for them to engage in direct combat with the people from the Southern Continent unless absolutely necessary.

“I’ve got a surprise for you!”

Catherine led Leonard Churchill deeper into the Underground Cave.

Leonard Churchill initially thought this was just another temporary base like the ones he knew before.

But gradually, he realized something was off.

This was a Relic!

And it was very well-preserved.

What was strange was that there were no towns nearby three thousand years ago, so what kind of Relic would be built here?

As Leonard Churchill was pondering, after passing through several rigorously defended gates, he suddenly heard the roaring sound of steam boilers.

Even Catherine, as they approached the last door guarded by elite Mechanical Warriors, underwent strict identity verification.

She did not forget to explain to Leonard Churchill, “This is the biggest secret of the Allied Forces at the moment. Everyone entering and leaving the base must undergo multiple identity checks.”

Leonard Churchill’s curiosity grew as he listened, wondering what this place was all about.

After their identities were verified, the ancient door, obviously a relic of black technology, slowly opened, revealing a vast space.

A world of steel and Machinery unfolded before their eyes!

Entering what seemed like the belly of a gigantic steel beast, towering steam towers stood like giants, a complex network of pipes resembled the veins of a city, and massive rivets pieced together an industrial tapestry that filled the sight.

In the background was the hissing of steam being released, the thunderous meshing of gigantic gears, and the low hum of machinery in operation.

This was no mere base, but a city constructed of precise gears and cold, hard steel!

Everywhere he looked, huge mechanical structures interlocked with one another, tightly connected. Enormous anchoring devices fixed interlacing platforms in place, on which various Mechanical arms bustled about…

Compared to these massive mechanical devices, the countless people busying themselves on the platforms appeared as tiny as ants.

This sight deeply conveyed the oppressive feeling of being dwarfed by “gigantic objects.”

Leonard Churchill couldn’t help but express his amazement, “Is this… a mobile Machinery City?”

“Exactly! This is a war fortress from the Taren Era that was left unfinished; we’ve named it ‘Dragon Hunter’.”

Catherine’s tone was proud, “It’s probably because it was never completed and thus never participated in a war that it’s been so well-preserved. When we discovered it, its main structure was nearly finished. With this Machinery City, even if we face an enemy ten times our size, we have a fighting chance. Plus, it’s extremely mobile and can tunnel through rock layers…”

“…”

Leonard Churchill was familiar with Machinery technology but had never seen a mobile Machinery City of such scale.

He looked on with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Anything built towards the end of Taren’s Era was aimed at resolving the Outer Gods and the wars.

Therefore, the purpose of this Machinery City was definitely not simple.

Catherine also eagerly beckoned, “Come, let me show you around. There’s a lot of interesting black technology inside this Machinery City…”

The Alliance Army had braved countless dangers on the Old Continent, and now, at last, there seemed to be some hope.
