Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs Chapter 247 - Who Was Controlling the Mechanical Device?

Chapter 247: Who Was Controlling the Mechanical Device?

Mike was listening to the dragon’s report in the tower.
“Master, I just received a message saying that a very strange army has been found in the mountains in the south!”
The dragon was relying on the message sent by the messenger to explain the message clearly.
“Master, I’ve never seen such a strange army before. I’ve never even heard of it in the entire continent!”
“As for the appearance of that army, I’ve already asked the messenger to draw it. I believe that you’ll be able to see it very soon!”
Mike knew that after the messenger returned to the castle, they would usually head to a specific area of the castle first.
That was the information processing center that Mike had built.
In order to see the new army that the dragon mentioned as soon as possible, Mike decided to personally head to the information processing center.
As for the ongoing siege of the Anti-dragon Alliance flying troops outside the castle, there was no need to keep an eye on it.
That was because there were very few flying troops in the air at the moment.
The Anti-dragon Alliance’s siege of the Dragon Castle this time had cost them almost all of their flying troops.
Mike brought the dragon out of the tower and went to the information processing center in the castle.
It was a room that was placed underground. The information processing center was surrounded by very tight security.
In such an important place, once it was entered by the messengers outside, the loss would definitely be unacceptable.
Therefore, when Mike took the dragon to the information processing center, he discovered the troops hiding in the dark.
When the troops found out that it was the master of the Dragon Castle, Mike immediately retreated to a secret corner.
Mike was very satisfied with the performance of the guards.
He brought the dragon directly to the underground information processing center.
In the huge underground room, there were many troops that were proficient in information processing that were busy at the moment.
The dragon glanced at Mike, then walked to a messenger.
“Come here for a moment. Master has something to ask you!”
The messenger who was stopped by the dragon saw that it was really the Castle Lord who had come to the information processing center.
The messenger came to Mike nervously.
“Respected Castle Lord, is there anything you need me to do?”
Mike saw that the messenger was very nervous. In order to ease the other party’s nervous mood, he deliberately reached out his hand and patted the other party’s shoulder.
“Don’t be nervous. I’m here to ask you something. You’ve been sent to the small town in the south to investigate. Did you find anything important?”
The dragon had told Mike this before, so he asked directly.
The messenger was still a little nervous. He looked at the dragon standing behind the Castle Lord again.
Usually, he would feel large pressure from dragons. However, the Castle Lord in front of him had an indescribable pressure. It was as if the creature standing in front of him was not a human, but rather a god from the myths.
“Respected Castle Lord, I have indeed obtained a very important piece of information in the small town in the south!”
The messenger reorganized his words and continued when Mike was about to lose his patience.
“I saw something very strange in a small town in the south. I’ve never seen it before. Oh, right, I did a sketch of what I saw.”
After the messenger finished speaking, he immediately turned around and took a drawing board from a staff member.
This should have been drawn by the staff member according to his description after the messenger returned to the information center.
Mike took the drawing board from the messenger and immediately began to study it.
He saw a very strange-looking device.
It was difficult for the creatures born in this world to recognize it.
However, when Mike saw what was drawn on the drawing board, he recognized it at first sight. It was the steampunk that had been popular on earth for a long time.
It was a type of machine that was assembled and operated by humans.
However, Mike saw something different on the drawing board in front of him.
On the steampunk device, there were many short creatures that looked like dwarves.
What Mike was not sure was whether the creatures on the drawing board were dwarves or not. Because it was the creature described by the messenger, it might not be dwarves.
After all, there were some differences in details.
Therefore, Mike looked away from the drawing board and looked at the messenger.
“When you saw that thing, did you see what creature was controlling it? There’s no hurry to answer my question. You have to recall it carefully. You have to describe it clearly!”
After Mike’s reminder, the messenger began to carefully recall the scene he saw in the town.
Seeing the image that the messenger was trying to recover, Mike did not wait at the same place. Instead, he led the dragon to the interior of the information center.
This was his first time coming to the information center. He did not know many military types.
They were all military types that the giant dragon had captured before.
In order to survive, they were willing to stay here. It was much better than leaving the castle and going outside where the living environment was very difficult.
Even those soldiers who were ordered investigate for information received good treatment.
Mike knew how to use his troops. If he wanted his soldiers to work for him, he must first ensure their survival.
Not long after Mike walked around the information center, the messenger came to Mike again.
“Let me recall carefully. Those creatures are not the common dwarves outside. Although they look similar to dwarves, and they look similar to the gnomes I’ve seen before. However, it is definitely the first time I’ve seen of these creatures.”
The messenger’s words made Mike feel confident. If he guessed correctly, creatures that the messenger had discovered should have appeared for the first time.
Moreover, through the information that the messenger had brought back, those unknown creatures were controlling the machinery, and they were heading towards the Dragon Castle.
The timely discovery of this information was very important to Mike’s Dragon Castle.
After all, that kind of mechanical device was very destructive to the castle.
At this moment, Mike was very glad that he could discover the mechanical device before it attacked the castle.
According to the information brought back by the messenger, there should not only be one mechanical device heading to the castle, but the speed of the mechanical device was not very fast.
According to the messenger’s description, the speed of that huge thing was only slightly faster than the speed of ordinary soldiers.
Putting all the information together, Mike began to plan the next step.
