"Runemage Regiment!" a dwarven warrior riding a leaping deer came to the quietest area of the entire battlefield, "The king has an order, order the mechanical legion to go on the expedition!"

The leader of the mage regiment, an elderly gray-haired dwarf, accepted the order. In the next second, the eyes of the mechanical legion with the six-barreled cannon as the hand lit up with a faint blue light!

The mages of Icewind Castle looked curiously at the mechanical legions that were close to three meters, they were not as different as the golem army of Icewind Castle, but they were exactly the same as the machines produced on the assembly line.

They are divided into three forms, one is the most double-handed barreled machine Charlotte has ever seen, the other is a tank-like device that can carry people, and the last is a mechanical army that is five meters tall and has human-like flexible palms and joints.

Except for the difference from the appearance of Icewind Castle and the various mages who pay attention to personalization, the rest of the looks are not much different. But soon, Charlotte noticed something different.

When the leader of the rune mages gave the order, each rune mage embedded the huge gems inlaid with runes into the steel plates of the mechanical creation, and soon, the eyes of the originally silent mechanical legion lit up with a faint blue light. Then the rune mages took out a silver disc and made various gestures, and the mechanical legion in front of them marched towards the city of Vortarazi as if it were really alive.

Unlike Icewind's way of relying on a central system to control multiple golems, runemages seem to use the disc as a central operating system, but it works in a strange one-on-one way.

Charlotte and her disciples watched all this curiously, and Sylvia, noticing their expressions, explained in detail in a patient tone.

"Notice how they're different from the Golem Legion? Actually, it's quite simple, because regular mages need to build a model to cast spells, so it's more advantageous to use a Golem Legion with artificial intelligence and the ability to give simple commands with a central system. Runem, on the other hand, can use Runestones to cast spells quickly on the battlefield, so it is more advantageous to use them individually. ”

Charlotte's master and apprentice are both people of extraordinary wisdom, so after this explanation, several people understand the reason.

"But how do I feel that the runemage controls the mechanical legion is more flexible?" asked Lolita, asking the doubts in her heart.

This time, without Sylvia's answer, Charlotte expressed her opinion, "Because it is a manual operation, it is naturally far more spiritual than the intelligent golem army." However, I think that rune mages can only be called machines, and even if they have the ability to operate remotely, they are essentially no different from muskets and swords. ”

"That's right. Sylvia nodded, "A Icewind Castle mage can control multiple golems by himself, while a rune mage can only operate one machine alone, so there is no superiority or inferiority between the two. When it comes to the use of spells and souls, Icewind Castle is naturally more advantageous, and in terms of the sophistication of machinery, it is the Rune Mage of Molten Iron Keep that is superior. ”

As Sylvia said, there is no superiority or inferiority between the Icewind Castle Mage Group and the Molten Iron Keep Rune Mage, except for the different emphasis.

The ensuing battle also confirmed Sylvia's point, and when the Mechrons arrived on the battlefield, Drow, who had been condescending and dominant, fell into a panic in an instant. The mechanical warrior with his hands in the shape of a cannon barrel deftly leaped over the position, raising his hands to fight back at the city's arrow towers.

Under the control of rune mages, they fire grenade-like weapons from the barrel of their guns, and their hit rate is as high as 30%. Grenades crumble, rocks crumble, and drow marksmen constantly fall from them, an average of five to six grenades is enough to completely collapse a mystery-reinforced tower.

The only thing to worry about is that those mechanical warriors will face the trouble of overheating the barrel every time they fire a grenade, and after twelve grenades, they must return to the battle to replenish their ammunition, otherwise these nimble mechanical legions will be enough to completely collapse the defense system of Futarazi City.

In addition, under the cover of the dwarven tanks, those huge machines with nimble feet also began to rush to the city gates. They nimbly dodged attacks under the control of rune mages, and when they approached the gates, they slammed their bodies into the gates, clasping their brackets with both hands, trying to break through the defenses of the city of Futarazi.

After the mechanical legion entered, the drow elves' defenses were suddenly in jeopardy.

Vivien and Lolita couldn't help but applaud and cheer, but the mage Loran, who was controlling a machine beside them, did not show the slightest joy, but frowned and observed the situation on the battlefield.

Just when Lolita wanted to ask, Lorain suddenly said in a relieved and very serious tone, "It's finally here!"

The group subconsciously looked at the head of the city, only to see a black hole suddenly emerge from the body of the arrow tower that Futarazi said was intact inside, and inside the hole, a huge bed crossbow was exposed.

"That's ......" Vivien exclaimed as she looked at the swordfish-like streamlined bed crossbow.

"Drow Elves' Magic Crossbow!" Mage Loran said in a serious voice, "and the ranged weapon they are most proud of!"

As the words fell, a magic crossbow shot out a pulpy white tongue of fire, and the whistling sound formed a sound barrier that spread all over the wilderness! It seemed that the crossbow arrow was like lightning flashing, like the electric energy weapon in Charlotte's previous life science fiction film, full of terrifying power!

Its power was just as great, with a small explosion almost every time it hit, a terrifying shockwave that sent the dwarves flying, and the massive potential made the engineering bed creak and shake violently.

The highly accurate crossbow was aimed at the mechanical legion, and even with the control of the rune mage, after a salvo, a dozen or so machines were completely blown into scrap metal! The Mech Legion took advantage of their reload time to fight back, but after the next round, the crossbow still inflicted great losses on the army!

After half a day of fierce fighting, the king of the Molten Iron Fortress, who could not break through the defenses of the city of Futarazi, ordered the troops to be withdrawn. Leaving behind dead bodies and smoke-filled battlefields all over and below the city, the two sides began to reorganize their legions.

In the next battle, the dwarves and drow will battle their wits and courage, vowing to tear their enemies to pieces.

In the middle of the night, in the ceremonial camp of the Molten Iron Castle, Icewind Castle and his party participated in King Lloyd's deliberations as reinforcements.

"As Master Loran said. Lloyd Thundering, who was sitting in the middle of the tent, inquired at Sylvia, "The secret passage of the Mad Lich who lives in the city of Futarazi is very likely to be the key to the outcome of this battle, so I would like to ask the Earl of Winterhold to communicate with the Mad Lich. Of course, I assure you that the elite I send will be there to protect the Count. Ignorance...... What do you think?"

There was obvious hesitation after the word 'I don't know', that is, Lloyd, whose strength was close to the legend, obviously noticed the cold aura on the stunning woman in front of him.

Charlotte understands Lloyd's struggles.

The mad lich Heywood had offered Charlotte a secret passage out of the city, and it was clear that it was only the tip of the iceberg of the secret passages he had mastered. For the Molten Iron Keep, if it can destroy the defenses of Fortarazi City from within, it will bring more than just victory.

The losses of the dwarves should be reduced at least several times!

But...... Will Sister Sylvia agree?

Feeling the big trouble caused last time, this time Charlotte ignored Heywood's pleading eyes and waited for Sylvia's answer.
