CHAPTER 41: TRAPPED
“Heavy sensor,” Grimbolt said quietly, his voice filled with foreboding. “Silent alarm.” “Silent alarm?” Valerius parroted.

CHAPTER 42: TRAPPED IN A STEEL NET
Grimbolt, they’ve locked onto our position!” Valerius shouted. He gripped his dagger so tightly that his knuckles turned white.At both ends of the corridor, the Praetorians' ranks were closing in, their red optics locking onto their targets with precision.“I am aware of that, Valerius,” Grimbolt replied, his voice trembling unhealthily."Our chances of survival if we stay here are zero point zero two percent. I suggest we start moving. Now."“Move where? We’re trapped!” Cogs shouted, his mechanical wings flapping frantically above Valerius’ head. “You have a backup plan, right? Tell me you have a cannon in your belly or something!”“I’m a protection unit, Cogs, not a walking armory,” Grimbolt replied. His optics glanced at the Titanium-X ingot lying on the floor. “Valerius, we’re going to use it.”Valerius's eyes widened. "Use it? This thing weighs a hundred kilograms! You're going to throw it at them?""No. We'll use it as a shield," said Grimbolt.Grimbolt grabbed the end of the s
CHAPTER 43: THE HANGING CREW BET
“So, this is the end?” Valerius asked.His voice was small. He felt tears welling up in his eyes, not from fear but from frustration.“We’re not done yet, Valerius,” Grimbolt replied. “I won’t let Alaric’s bloodline end in this pile of scrap,” Grimbolt added.“Then what?” Cogs asked, perching on Valerius’ shoulder. “You want us to grow wings and fly? Because I’m the only one with wings here, and I can’t carry you both!”Grimbolt pointed upwards, toward the factory ceiling, lined with giant iron rails. There, a giant cargo crane was moving slowly, carrying a load of large crates.“Look up, Valerius,” said Grimbolt. “That’s our ticket out. But you’ll have to do something very risky.”Valerius looked up. The distance between the catwalk and the crane was at least five meters vertically, and the crane was still moving.“You want me to jump in there?” Valerius asked, his eyes wide.“Not jumping,” Grimbolt corrected. “I’ll be the one throwing you.”“What?! You’re completely out of your mind
CHAPTER 44: DEATH SWING
“Now!” roared Valerius. He stopped the crane right above Grimbolt, the steel hook swinging right in front of the Sentinel's face. With a movement remarkably fast for a robot of its size, Grimbolt jumped from the collapsing catwalk. KLANG!

CHAPTER 45: FREE FALL
“Don't brake, Valerius,” Grimbolt's voice sounded very heavy, as if he was pouring all his energy into the communicator system. "What?! You want us to crash into that wall?" "That wall is the final barrier," Grimbolt said. "Beyond that wall is a cliff overlooking the river of waste beneath Sector Alpha. If we breach it, we have a chance." "
CHAPTER 46: RIVER TOWARDS HOPE
“Recalculate,” Grimbolt muttered. He activated the emergency thrusters on his damaged legs. The thrusters emitted only sparks and a puff of black smoke, but they were enough to provide the little boost they needed. “Trajectory adjustment successful.” The garbage barge was now directly beneath them, with piles of black plastic bags, scraps of light metal, and piles of industrial rags towering above the deck. “Close your eyes, Valerius!” Grimbolt ordered. He twisted his body so that he landed first, using his back as a cushion for Valerius. “I hate this fateeeeeee!” Cogs shouted. BLAM! The sound of the impact was very loud, accompanied by the sound of plastic bags breaking and metal creaking. They hit a pile of trash. The stench of a
CHAPTER 47: GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS
Valerius frowned. He looked at Cogs in confusion. "Different how? I'm dirty, smelly, and covered in wounds. Of course I'm different." "It's not that, idiot," Cogs replied. The mechanical bird perched on Valerius' knee. He stared at Alaric's last heir with a tilted head. "You're no longer trembling like a kitten caught in the rain," he continued. "You j
CHAPTER 48: HALF-HEARTED IMPROVEMENT
“Cogs, please get the remaining copper wire from under that chair. Quickly!” Valerius ordered. Cogs snorted. However, he still flew to retrieve the wire. “I&rsq
CHAPTER 49: GRINDING VALLEY
Acid mist began to descend, blanketing the water's surface with a vapor that tingled the skin. Valerius stared at the land, a pile of rusted metal before him. “It’s time for us to disembark, Valerius,” Grimbolt said. “If we go past this point, the barge will enter the Vexxos’ self-destruct zone.” His voice was deep, accompanied by the unsynchronized hydraulic squeal of his newly patched left leg.

CHAPTER 50: SCAVENGERS
“Welcome to the real world, Prince,” Cogs said bitterly. “The Vexxos didn’t build a beautiful city. They built a giant machine, and those people were just fuel.” “Grimbolt, we must help them,” Valerius said firmly. “Negative, Valerius,” the massive robot replied. “My current combat condition is four percent. Weapon systems are offline. Attacking the camp now is a suicide scenario with a ninety-nine percent failure rate. Top priority is finding the Rust Pipe Queen.” “But they suffer!” exclaimed Valerius. “And they will continue to suffer if you die today,” Grimbolt said again. “An unplanned death is not a sacrifice, Valerius. It is just another statistic for Vexxos. We must move.” Valerius clenched his fists. He looked at the camp once more. “Very well,&
