77: capture
As the Mage Tower slowly passed through the teleportation gate, the scenery outside the Mage Tower suddenly changed.
Brian looked through the window at the world covered in silver, and although the Mage Tower blocked the cold outside, he could still feel the chill from the scene.
In the ice and snow world, 40,000 intelligent robots quickly dispersed.
They began to execute the targeted elimination plan!
"Spirit Eye, activate the remaining 40,000 intelligent robots and station them within the besieged city!"
"Okay, Master. I'll arrange it immediately!"
There were a total of 100,000 level 4 intelligent robots, of which 10,000 were activated and bound to family members.
Because Alice and Lucia's mage talents had already reached the minimum third-tier, Brian did not arrange for them to come and earn contribution this time.
After all, the highest reward for talent in a low-level world is only second-tier. If Brian doesn't choose this, it will automatically be given to others based on contribution ranking.
He planned to give this second-tier mage talent reward to his father.
His father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister, a total of 5 people, each bound 2,000 level 4 intelligent robots.
Currently, the factories in the territory and within the Mage Tower are still continuously producing level 4 intelligent robots.
Combining both locations, the current daily output of level 4 intelligent robots is 10,000, level 4 magic guns is 20,000, and small magic missiles is 20,000 launchers + 2 million missiles per day.
At that time, more could be produced for Alice and the others to bind.
His family members would not come every time to earn contribution.
But his wives could come to freeload anytime.
Brian watched the projection inside the Mage Tower, which showed the robot team heading towards the valley.
Along the way, he saw many peculiar ice-type creatures, some resembling giant ice tigers, others like ice birds with wings.
These creatures seemed very wary of the suddenly appearing robots, but after seeing the intelligent robots instantly eliminate their leader, a level 4 magic beast, they immediately scattered and fled.
A day passed, and they finally arrived at the valley. A faint mist permeated the valley, and the surrounding trees were covered in ice and snow.
In the center of the valley, the level 3 Ice and Snow Elf was comfortably lying on a giant ice crystal tree.
She, being only palm-sized, looked both inconspicuous and infinitely conspicuous.
She was inconspicuous because she was simply too small, only 20 centimeters tall, with translucent wings tightly wrapped around her body, like a snowflake about to melt.
She was conspicuous because her body was light as thin ice, her skin semi-transparent, faintly revealing a flowing blue glow within.
Her wings were composed of ice crystals condensed from extreme cold and magical energy, thin as cicada wings, with edges glowing with a faint blue luminescence.
Her long hair, like strands of ice crystal, refracted a colorful aurora as it drifted in the wind.
Her body emitted a soft blue light, and the surrounding plants had undergone ice-type evolution, becoming crystal clear.
Spirit Eye excitedly said, "Master, it's her! She's so cute!"
"Prepare to begin the capture operation," Brian commanded.
The intelligent robots carrying biological containment units quickly surrounded her, forming an encirclement.
The Ice and Snow Elf seemed to sense danger; her body trembled slightly, and the surrounding temperature instantly dropped significantly.
Just then, the Ice and Snow Elf suddenly spread her arms, releasing a powerful ice magic.
A colossal ice wall instantly rose from the ground, blocking the path of the intelligent robots.
She tried to obstruct the intelligent robots.
The intelligent robots quickly adjusted their strategy; some began to use their magic guns to fire magic rays to destroy the ice wall, while others flew around the ice wall on both sides, intending to approach the Ice and Snow Elf from the flanks.
After all, they were not trying to kill her, so many attack methods of the intelligent robots could not be used.
Seeing this, the Ice and Snow Elf quickly flapped her butterfly-like wings, whose veins were as clear as ice sculptures, scattering tiny ice crystals as she flapped, creating an ice storm in the air.
The ice storm, carrying sharp ice shards, swept towards the surrounding intelligent robots.
The intelligent robots immediately activated their magic shields and rapidly advanced towards the Ice and Snow Elf.
Just as the intelligent robots were about to break through the ice storm's attack range, the Ice and Snow Elf suddenly vanished from her original spot, escaping with a short-distance teleportation.
Fortunately, the intelligent robots' encirclement was large enough; she couldn't escape!
Spirit Eye, in the Mage Tower's combat room, analyzed the Ice and Snow Elf's movement trajectory using the intelligent robots.
Soon, her trace was found again; she appeared in another corner of the valley.
"Master, this Ice and Snow Elf is smarter and more agile than we anticipated. She seems to be constantly looking for opportunities to escape our capture."
"Increase the capture effort. Have the robots disperse to form a larger encirclement, preventing her from teleporting away again."
Upon receiving the command, the intelligent robots quickly dispersed, advancing slowly like a steel torrent towards the direction of the Ice and Snow Elf.
The Ice and Snow Elf felt increasing pressure; her body began to emit an even more dazzling blue light, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.
She seemed to be accumulating even greater power, preparing for a final resistance.
Suddenly, the Ice and Snow Elf let out a sharp cry, its sound echoing through the valley.
Immediately after, the surrounding ice and snow began to surge wildly, forming massive ice golems.
These ice golems charged towards the intelligent robots, engaging them in fierce combat.
The intelligent robots showed no fear; they skillfully wielded their magic guns, slaughtering the ice golems with a vast disparity in power.
The magic guns sprayed beams of energy, and the ice golems shattered under their attacks.
But the Ice and Snow Elf did not give up; she continuously created more ice golems, attempting to prevent the intelligent robots from approaching.
For a time, the roar of battle and the glow of magic intertwined in the valley.
Since they could not harm the Ice and Snow Elf, many intelligent robots could only gradually approach, unable to use weapons to attack.
As the battle continued, the number of ice golems dwindled. Finally, the Ice and Snow Elf seemed to be running out of strength; the light from her body became much dimmer.
"Master, now's our chance!"
Brian decisively ordered: "All robots, focus fire! Use the biological containment units for capture!"
The intelligent robots responded swiftly, abandoning their fight with the ice golems and swarming towards the Ice and Snow Elf.
The biological containment units were activated, and beams of energy shot out, enveloping the Ice and Snow Elf.
The Ice and Snow Elf struggled, trying to break free from the energy beams' restraint, but she had already expended too much energy.
Ultimately, she was successfully captured within the biological containment unit.
Spirit Eye jumped up excitedly: "Master, capture successful! We successfully caught the Ice and Snow Elf!"
"Excellent! Bring the Ice and Snow Elf back to the Mage Tower; I want to study it thoroughly," Brian said, equally pleased.
The intelligent robots, carrying the biological containment unit, slowly returned to the Mage Tower.
