Chapter 360: Help! Murder!

Not only did the huge red light on the Alarm-o-Bot flare up, but it also emitted an incredibly sharp noise. The next moment, several massive metal constructs came charging towards them.

Vanessa tried to use [Sprint] while in stealth to quickly move away from this strange thing, but the Alarm-o-Bot's arm shot out a flashing [Flare], illuminating all areas within several meters as if it were daylight.

This directly broke Vanessa's stealth.

"Ah!" Vanessa finally let out a scream.

The metal constructs were coming, but they all stepped on Alleria's traps and turned into large chunks of ice.

At this time, Duke shot an [Ice Bolt], freezing the Alarm-o-Bot into a large block of ice.

Suddenly, the entire huge steel passage returned to calm.

The shock on Vanessa's face had not yet faded, and it was clear that she could not accept that her stealth was broken by such a strange thing.

Duke asked Alleria with a smile, "How does Vanessa's stealth compare to that of a troll?"

"At least 80% better than most trolls."

"That's enough."

"Enough?"

"Enough!" Duke said with absolute certainty.

Sniffing the air, Alleria pointed to the end of the passage, "There seems to be a big boss over there."

Duke smiled, "Doesn't matter. That's not my target."

Duke walked over, unfroze the Alarm-o-Bot, and then on the spot, instructed the skillful Vanessa to dismantle the mobile alarm robot.

A large string of data appeared on Duke's retina.

"You have obtained the preliminary blueprint of the [Mobile Alarm System]."

In fact, this was not entirely correct. As a former engineering student, Duke had already figured out the structure of the Alarm-o-Bot.

In warcraft... gnomes are truly geniuses!

They actually used steam age technology to play with automatic control technology. The insane detection system was actually a combination of vibration sensing and heat sensing. This approach was simply a Tesla, Edison, Einstein that transcended the limitations of the era.

Of course, it's not to say that the Alarm-o-Bot's technology is explosively high. But when the gnomes originally designed this thing, they used a lot of simple, violent, and effective devices.

For example, this vibration sensing, its principle is similar to the 'seismograph' of ancient times before Duke crossed over, but more exquisite. It was actually the Alarm-o-Bot that sensed the vibration within a diameter of several tens of meters around it while it was stationary between each step. That brief gap, no one would realize that it was actually sensing the vibration in a stationary state.

Once there was a vibration, it would enter the next stage.

A heat-sensing stone was used for testing. When it passed again, it would automatically fire a flare towards the heat source to further confirm whether the target was stealthed or in a hidden state.

Three confirmations ensured that there would be absolutely no misjudgment.

Finally, there was the insane high-frequency horn alarm.

Plus its own unscientific magic-oriented power system.

A [Mobile Alarm System] robot was born.

Duke didn't go to the final boss. Cleaning up Gnomeregan is not a simple matter. In addition to cleaning up the big traitor of the gnomes, it is also necessary to block all the cracks in the rocks and clean up the not-so-weak radiation. Duke didn't have the leisure to do this.

So Duke took the two women directly into the engineering laboratory.

A day later, Duke returned to his private army, bringing back a large number of the latest models of Alarm-o-Bots

"System Sprite, are you sure this thing is okay?" Duke had deep dark circles under his eyes, and his face was visibly fatigued. But for the sake of his thirty thousand strong army not being hindered, it was all worth it.

"Respected host, I am absolutely certain. All the gravity sensing settings have been set to 150 kilograms, only humanoid creatures exceeding this weight will trigger the alarm. And according to the host's habits, I have set the most eye-catching alarm sound for the Alarm-o-Bot."

"That's good."

Duke almost emptied the entire engineering laboratory of Gnomeregan, and it was estimated that the big traitor Thermaplugg who had betrayed the High tinkerer and all the gnomes would go mad on the spot when he found out.

So, after Duke gave a brief explanation, the army moved on again.

Few people knew that there was an engineering laboratory on the fourth floor of Gnomeregan. Nor would anyone know what Duke had tinkered with in that laboratory, and what he had moved from the laboratory to Karazhan.

The soldiers of the Stormwind Kingdom curiously watched a bunch of strange mechanical things with tree bark on their heads running around the army.

They made strange noises of "beep beep click click".

Then they didn't seem to have any function, until that night.

Windsor was puzzled by Duke's arrangement, leaving only the minimum number of sentries, but instead arranged at least 200 people for a 'rapid response team'. That was a cavalry that was forbidden to sleep all night, and the equipment was strange - lassos with steel wire? Long-handled battle axes that cavalry rarely used?

What the hell was that?

"Alright, I've been a soldier for so many years. I've been fighting for almost two years. This is the first time I've heard such a strange order - let us 'hunt down' trolls in the middle of the night when we hear the alarm, and preferably alive?"

"Have you heard that unless you cut off the head or pierce the heart of a troll, it will basically heal itself after a while?"

"Yes, there are basically no trolls near Elwynn Forest, only occasionally a few near Duskwood. But on the continent of Lordaeron, trolls are the norm, right?"

"What kind of alarm is the alarm?"

None of the cavalry knew.

At night, they quickly learned what the alarm was.

Suddenly, in the pitch-black night, they heard a series of mournful cries for help.

"Help! Murder! These guys are going to dismember me!"

Every cavalryman had a big 'awkward' expression on his face. If the person shouting was a living person, of course, there would be no problem. The problem was that the voice was clearly a mechanical electronic sound.

Since this was an order from above, the cavalry quickly set off. When they arrived, they found a strange, red alarm light flashing 'Alarm-o-Bot' being chased by two trolls.

"Come and save me! Someone is showing off here! I can't hold the scene anymore!"

Shouting incomprehensible words, the robot tried to run with its short legs. It originally couldn't outrun the trolls, but when the trolls saw the cavalry coming, they immediately ran back.

Chasing trolls, who are masters of stealth, in the dark night is a terrifying thing, and you can be counter-killed at any minute.

At this moment, the cavalry laughed.

The trolls seemed to have been sprayed with some special paint, and even in the pitch-black night, they still had a very conspicuous glow. The trolls seemed to want to wipe it off, but the more they tried, the bigger the blob became.

Two ordinary troll scouts, after losing their stealth, faced a squadron of imposing cavalry. Was there any suspense?

The next morning, the entire army saw the spoils of the rapid response team.
