Chapter 798: The Future of Fear

The surrounding mammoths and white bears were ready for war, and they came to their respective posts, the bed crossbows and catapults that had been angled towards the sky, which were the few ranged weapons they could damage gargoyles.

The bed crossbows and catapults of the Attila Empire are still the same as they were a long time ago, and their power is still unquestionable, but there is no way to keep up with the times in other aspects.

Whether it is in terms of hit rate, reload speed, or difficulty of repairing after damage, there is a gap that cannot be crossed compared to the war weapons produced by the Baltic Empire.

They had had enough of these constructs in their previous battles, and even warriors like the White Bear and the Mammoth would take a long time to win the battle, not to mention the sheer number of these constructs.

"Such a battle would reduce the city to ruins. โ€

"Damn, the rebuilding after that will take us a lot of time. โ€

The two casters discussed in the distance, watching the gargoyles nimbly dodge the attacks of bed crossbows and catapults.

Flexible, this word should not have been used on gargoyles, their movements in the sky were very cumbersome, and for a long time, gargoyles were a bulky target in the eyes of experienced archers.

At least in the past, their solid bodies of rock could not resist the arrows of the archers, and they were always able to send arrows into the core of the gargoyles through the cracks where the stones joined the stones, causing them to disintegrate in mid-air and turn into scattered rubble.

Not anymore, if you still look at these gargoyles the way they used to be, then those guys will know how stupid they really are.

Unlike the old gargoyles, who could only rely on their claws and bodies for hand-to-hand combat, these newer gargoyles are given a completely different way of fighting.

On their bodies there is a small warehouse dedicated to ammunition, which is loaded with fist-sized round iron balls, the surface of which is perfectly depicted with rune runes that look like works of art.

This is an assembly line produced bomb, and there is still a gap between it and the traditional items made by the caster in terms of power, but in terms of versatility, this kind of extremely cost-effective thing is really suitable for war.

Dense black iron balls fell from the sky, and just as they were about to fall to the ground, there was a violent explosion, and countless mammoths and white bear people were emptied by these iron pieces.

The iron armor on the body did not have the effect it should have in such a power, the sharpness of these iron pieces was beyond imagination, and under the kinetic energy brought by the explosion, the white bear and the mammoth man suffered unimaginable losses.

"It seems that they are still using the experience from the last battle to carry out this battle. โ€

"We've just added some features to those gargoyles, and depending on the situation, these features can still bring some "surprises" to our enemies on the battlefield. โ€

The two spellcasters were still talking and laughing at a distance from the city, and they didn't need to manipulate the gargoyles, which was something the commanders in the army had to consider.

The reason why they appear here, in this dangerous battlefield, is just to be able to observe the abilities of their works in the battlefield up close, and to see what else can be improved.

Almost all spellcasters have unimaginable paranoia in their hearts, they are pure perfectionists, always striving for perfection, both in the pursuit of magic and truth, and in their creations.

"Our tactics were successful, and the casters on the opposite side suffered heavy losses at the beginning, and it was difficult for them to pose any threat in the rest of the battle. โ€

The bomb dropping just now was not carried out randomly, their targets were the casters of the White Bear and the Mammoth, those shamans who had the power of the elements, and without the support of those shamans, the remaining warriors had their combat power reduced by almost a third.

"No, it looks like our work needs to be improved. โ€

The knight on horseback galloped through the sky, and as he advanced, hideous gargoyles fell from the sky.

"That's for later, I think it's time for us to get out of here. โ€

Seeing that the knight had defeated a tenth of the gargoyles in a short period of time, the caster swallowed with difficulty.

He was confident that such a gargoyle army, even a powerful red dragon, could only flee in embarrassment, and it was difficult to match, but the plague, which was obviously ineffective, was still much stronger than the dragon.

The two spellcasters left in an instant, not leaving the battlefield, but going farther away, further away to observe, this place was no longer safe enough.

The Sรกmi evacuated quickly, throwing behind all their bulky supplies and, holding back tears, left their homeland and homeland at the hands of the Baltic Empire.

The carriages of the Baltic Empire played the role of a means of transport at such times, sturdy and smooth.

The appearance of those mercenaries has prevented the riots from happening, and those thugs who do not have the slightest national concept and want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune are directly arrested, and the dark mines will be their future destination.

This was the first group to surrender to the Baltic Empire since the beginning of the war, and it had an extraordinary political position, and the Baltic Empire would never allow it, and this operation failed.

This time the cooperation between the Baltic Empire and the Sami people was chosen in terms of time and opportunity, just when there was only a plague, and only one knight was much easier to deal with than the union of several knights.

On the ground, the Baltic Empire's armies had already crossed the walls, and after the entire Sami tribe had chosen to join the Baltic Empire, the walls made of heavy stones had no point in existing.

The troops who entered the city were not directly involved in the battle, for the simple reason that the attack of the gargoyles in the sky was still not over, and even if the whole army was destroyed, they would need to throw away all the bombs.

Those exploding bombs will not distinguish between friend and foe, and if they rush into battle, they will only be injured by the bombs, and their first thing to do now is to defend a few city gates and important streets, and completely wipe out the army of the Attila Empire here.

The Plague is a legendary mission, and even if they want to participate, they don't have the strength to intervene, and their targets are White Bears and Mammoths from start to finish.

After a long battle, the number of the White Bear and the Mammoth, who were already less fertile, has been reduced to a certain extent, and if they go through a few wars like today, the White Bear and the Mammoth will have no usable soldiers.

If they don't want the main plane to fade, these mammoths and white bears will make the most appropriate choice when the Attila Empire is about to collapse.

What the Attila Empire can give them, the Baltic Empire can also give, and give more, the so-called loyalty is such a thing, and loyalty is worthless in the face of the continuation of the race.

The gargoyles began to move non-stop, and while they were dropping bombs, they still did not forget to dodge the plague's attacks, and they still did not forget to delay the plague's time and footsteps.

As the bombs in their bodies were consumed, the gargoyles lost weight, they flew faster and their trajectories more agile, looking down from the sky as if they were goshawks chasing a swarm of bees.

"It doesn't seem like we need to do anything. โ€

The commander of this battle stood on the arrow tower of the city wall, watching the battle that took place in the city from afar, and now there were not many white bears and mammoths on the field who could stand.

Although they tried to hide in their houses, which they could rely on to avoid explosions from the sky, the houses built by the Sรกmi were not entirely made of stone and could not withstand such explosions.

Even if they were made of stone, they could not withstand such explosions, and they completely miscalculated the power of these bombs, and still believed that the gargoyle's attack was as powerful as the explosive arrows used by the harpy.

Many of the White Bears and Mammoths did not actually die in the explosion, they hid in their houses and were buried directly by the collapsed houses, and the city was reduced to ruins and razed to the ground, and it is not just an exaggeration to say that the Baltic Empire has the power to do so.

There was no smile of victory on the commander's face, this was the victory of the Baltic Empire, the victory of the casters who created the constructs, but not the victory of his army.

His pupils flashed with a fear that was imperceptible to outsiders, and he feared that his place would be replaced, replaced by the constructs created by these spellcasters.

There are contradictions within any organization, because people will hold each other together because of their different personalities, relationships, interests, etc.

This is the nature of intelligent beings, whether they are gnolls or humans, whether they have become undead or those elements, as long as they still have intelligence, they are unavoidable.

Even the Baltic Empire, known for its order and law, for its fairness and justice, could not avoid such a thing, in which there was always a direct contradiction between the structure and the ordinary labor.

The structure has too many advantages, I don't know how to be tired, and I can manufacture it in batches on the assembly line, and with the maturity of the manufacturing process, the cost can be sharply compressed.

These structures can completely replace ordinary labor to do those boring, repetitive tasks, they can be farmers as hunters, they can be miners can be fishermen.

As long as the caster's skills continue to improve, these constructs can also improve, and it will now take time for a mature, experienced squad to win a construct, which could be easily destroyed by even an adult male.

If he were the ruler and he was the master of the Baltic Empire, he would be equally willing to use these constructs as a substitute for ordinary labor, as a substitute for soldiers.

He could fully imagine that as these constructs became more widespread, the caster's status would rise further, and conversely, the rest of the classes would become dispensable and could be replaced by constructs.

The commander was very worried about such a thing, he couldn't accept it happening, but he couldn't stop it from happening, he could only watch as those constructs replaced his soldiers and completed the combat mission.

Thankfully, the Construct is not yet able to deal with the Legendary enemies, and if the Legendary is killed by the Construct by the Construct Population, then the soldiers will be unemployed.

This is a very realistic thing, the empire has always been so realistic, absolute, pure consequentialists, just look at the effectiveness, look at the comparison between the effort and the result.

"Commander...... Shall we ......?"

The adjutant next to him leaned over to the commander and whispered.

The adjutant didn't finish his words, there was something in the words, but the commander understood what he meant, and found a way to sabotage the performance of the construct, so that the construct's record became less brilliant.

The commander waved his hand, there can be a conflict between them, but if this conflict affects the outcome that the Baltic Empire needs, then the outcome that awaits them is definitely not a good one.

"Look, we have our mission, they have theirs. โ€

Legend has a special position in the army, and it is difficult for the commander to give orders directly to the legend, because the way the legend fights is completely different from ordinary soldiers, they have a strong autonomy, and directly accept the leadership of the empire.

"Do our job well. โ€

"Don't think about it. โ€

The commander finally calmed down the inner turmoil and educated for a long time

Let him remain calm at this time, calmly make choices that benefit the empire.

While the two were discussing, the situation in the field changed dramatically, and the White Bear and Mammoth Man, who had only been hiding in the house, began to retreat.

They are worthy of being the elite of the Attila Empire, and even in such a disadvantage, they are still able to maintain their formation, and they are retreating towards the place they became.

In other words, they were actively fighting the forces of the Baltic Empire, knowing that only in such a situation could they be spared from the bombardment from the sky.

Unlike Attila, the Baltic Empire still values the lives of its soldiers, and will not waste it for the sake of victory, nor will they sacrifice it at will.

The White Bears and Mammoths, as the breachers, are at a disadvantage, leaving corpses behind along the way, and their progress is slower and slower as their numbers decrease.

In contrast to the battlefield on the ground, the battlefield in the sky was one-sided, and the gargoyles were sadly only able to delay time in the face of famine, and as their numbers decreased, their influence on the battlefield also decreased.

The sky, obscured by dark clouds, began to clear
