567. Shocking
The puppet that the engineer is currently operating is always saying inexplicable lines, the previous old model was considered flashy by Bai Yi and useless in actual combat, but it successfully deceived the nobles of a large investment, the engineer took this money and carried out a major transformation of the puppet, not only loaded with the latest transformation module and language module, the entire external armor and the protective load of key parts were replaced with a new alloy produced by the alchemist, and the power system was also more unscrupulous on the basis of the original stealing Bai Yi's power.
The cost of this puppet is enough to arm a large army of 10,000 people, and its performance on the battlefield seems to be worthy of such value? That shell, which was forcibly named Gundam Nim alloy by alchemists, was so helpless that the church side was helpless? Whether it's a sword slash infused with fighting energy, or an attack of divine spells, it can't leave the slightest scar on its body? Still intact and sparkling?
And the puppet's attack method is also very rudimentary, rough, no gorgeous visual effects, and no name of the move that is second to the second degree, its attack is a simple and primitive punch, swing, the force is so fast, the judgment is accurate, and it is even more difficult to deal with than all kinds of exquisite martial arts, and no one of the crusaders and paladins who rushed to fight with it could not even hold out for a second, and soon created a huge chaos on the left front.
"Be careful, its main target is priests and mages, protect them!" A small group of crusaders had a keen insight into the puppet's intentions to cut into the back row, and bravely stopped in front of it.
"If you don't resist, you won't die, why don't you understand?" The puppet said coldly, and with a casual wave of his thick arms, the small group of crusaders flew upside down, and the priest they were protecting was immediately exposed to the puppet's attack.
"Don't be afraid, everyone! Good will triumph over evil! The priest, who knew that his life was imminent, plucked up all his courage and shouted.
"Who understands what you say?" The puppet threw a cold punch and smashed the priest into a small pie.
The great knight chief Yawen who sat in the Chinese army watched this demon idol arch his left wing like a bull, and he couldn't care about the formation or anything for a while, so he could only transfer people from the right wing, and even some impulsively wanted to send out the Holy Samurai Regiment as a hole card, but fortunately, the Grand Inquisitor next to him tried his best to dissuade him, at this time, if the Holy Samurai Regiment was entangled with this monster, other monsters suddenly rushed out... Both of them were in danger of dying.
So, in this way, under the wreak of destruction by the puppets, the left wing front of the church was in chaos, although the number of casualties was not large, but the back rows that were cut to provide protection for the legion, the original invulnerable spell protection system began to gradually show flaws, and the right wing legion also began to gradually move closer to this side under the order of the great knight commander, and the formation of the entire church began to become more and more dense.
The craftsman who had been watching the battle situation on the city wall felt that the time was almost up, so he shouted to one of his proud protégés: "Second battalion commander, where is Lao Tzu's Italian artillery?" ”
"Huh? How did I become a battalion commander? Don't we only have six cannons? The student complained to himself, gathered the other students and began to operate the magic cannon, and muttered with some confusion: "Why did you change the name to the Italian cannon again?" ”
"With high-explosive shells and incendiary bombs, you don't need to aim much, just shoot at the most densely populated places, and shoot in bursts! Fire! The craftsman continued to command.
As a result, the six magic cannons that had destroyed the Divine Punishment Fort silently made a series of muffled pops, and the cannonballs encapsulated with powerful lethal magic inside whizzed towards the church's increasingly dense formation.
Spell protection like this kind of large-scale legion battle, it is impossible to give specific blessings to a person like applying protection to a single person, and it can only maintain the best efficiency by connecting a large range of enchantments, if the formation is neat and the enchantment has been covered, it is naturally invincible, but once there is a problem with the formation, or the other party uses some means to break through the enchantment...
The end is like this, the barrier that is powerless in the face of physical attacks cannot resist the direct bombardment of cannonballs, one cannonball after another easily passes through the barrier, and the large-area lethal spells explode in the middle of the crowd without hindrance, with the loud sound of a series of spell explosions, large swaths of corpses fell on the battlefield... In front of ordinary people without protection, the killing efficiency of these spells is not much worse than that of modern gunpowder.
"What? Attacked by enemy magic? How is this possible?! "After hearing the latest battle situation, the old Haydn, who was already so angry that he was about to have a myocardial infarction, finally had insufficient support and fainted, and the chief knight and the chief judge on the side also looked confused, although the formation was a little chaotic at the moment, but the protective barrier was still well maintained, why was it suddenly attacked by magic?
"Retreat! Immediate drawdown! "The Grand Knight Commander gave the most correct order regardless of his dignity, although he had not yet figured out the specific situation, this unreliable old Haydn was dizzy again, and it was the most correct choice to retreat for now, not to let a large number of soldiers be directly exposed to the enemy's magical attacks.
The magician who had been carefully observing the situation made a brazen move at this time, and began to continue to use spells to harvest the soldiers who were exposed to the protection, with the artillery bombardment on the craftsman's side and the pursuit of the engineer puppet, the church's originally orderly retreat was instantly stirred into a pot of porridge, and no matter how firm the faith was, the warriors could not keep calm, and began to flee in a hurry like a refugee, and the entire legion had become a piece of scattered sand.
"Why is this happening... Why is this happening?! The Grand Inquisitor, who was riding a tall horse and was quite safe under the arch of the Holy Warriors, asked repeatedly, he was now full of scattered and fleeing soldiers, the enemy's elusive magic was still exploding around him, and after walking a few steps, he would see several soldiers blown into the sky or reduced to ashes by flames, stumps and broken arms covered his sight, wailing and screaming filled his eardrums, and the mental torture was more than the young church leader had ever imagined.
Purgatory-like horror, isn't it?
"Tsk, what a pity..."The craftsman looked at the scattered church army, and muttered with some dissatisfaction, the student who had just been appointed by him as the commander of the second battalion had just told him that the cannon chamber had been overheated and that it was necessary to cool down and rest, and the church had become a piece of loose sand at this time, and the killing efficiency was far less than before, so he could only reluctantly order to suspend the shelling.
The puppet was also temporarily recovered, and the Engineer, not wanting it to suffer senseless wear and tear in this unsuspenseful pursuit, controlled it to return to the city gate with a high spirit, and said aloud to the applause and cheers of the soldiers on the city wall: "Solomon, I am back." ”
The attack on the magician's side did not last long, and it was not noble or honorable to hunt down deserters who had lost their fighting spirit, and it was not necessary for the noble Emperor Rosher to take action in person, just leave it to the people below.
"Send Artie's men out." The magician said to the girls beside him, Tisgaard and Nota.
A team of 5,000 steppe cavalry has been ready to move, they have been stranded in Artie's hometown, and have not teleported, but they have been preparing for battle, when the engineer's puppet began to kill in all directions, the cavalry began to gather in Yafen City through the teleportation array one after another, and prepared to be used by several mages to jointly perform short-distance teleportation, send them directly out of the city, and chase them with the fastest efficiency.
The quality of the steppe cavalry is not good, and the personal combat strength is also difficult to see, but the victory lies in strong mobility, and the opponent's condition at this time is worse than theirs, such a pursuit is undoubtedly efficient, cruel, and bloody.
This made Nota frown slightly, and asked softly, "Grandpa, the enemy has retreated, do we have to do this?" ”
"Child, let you learn to be kind, and understand that the premise and guarantee of kindness is such a cruel killing...", the magician replied in a low voice.
Nota seemed to understand something, nodded slightly, and seriously began to cooperate with the magician's spell casting, sending the steppe cavalry into their favorite and best pursuit link.
"King Arti said, "Every man has a reward of ten gold coins for his head! The warrior who cuts off the most heads can get a property in Dawn Moon City! My son is still eligible to take the university exam! Brothers, rush! Kill all these gods! The cavalry leader at the front shouted loudly, he was one of Arti's fans from the Xiaoyue clan, and he was the kind of person who only knew Artie and didn't know the king, and forcibly gave Arti the title of king again.
However, this group of barbarians didn't care who gave them the reward, they only knew that Xiaoyue City was now a paradise on the grassland, and no matter which clan's rich family wanted to buy a residence there, a house could be exchanged for hundreds of cattle and sheep; And the qualifications of children to be able to take the entrance exam are even more exciting, you must know that universities never admit steppe barbarians.
The so-called heavy reward must have brave men, this group of rabble in Bai Yi's eyes under the stimulus of the reward, regardless of whether they fought for the demons who had slaughtered the grassland, howled one after another, and rushed towards the defeated church army, even though they encountered a lot of resistance along the way and lost a lot of manpower, but they still chased them outside the shining sand city in one breath, and had to retreat when they were attacked by the defenders.
In total, they reaped more than 4,000 lives, bringing the number of casualties in the siege to 20,000, more than a third of the total!
Such casualties can be said to be shocking in this era when more than one-tenth of the battle losses will cause a rout...
