Chapter 211: Puppet
When Ledana fell, why did Toronso choose to flee to Mangrove Ridge with Ley, not only because of the relative proximity to the old man's own territory and the ease of defense and attack, but also because it was adjacent to Echo Canyon. The convenience of escaping in a way that surprises the enemy in a critical moment is one thing, and the other is related to Echo Canyon.
It is known to be a completely unexplored place, and the terrain inside is so complex and even precipitous that even hunters are reluctant to go in it to make extra money, let alone settle down in such a ghost place where birds don't lay eggs. As a result, Echo Canyon has been inaccessible for thousands of years, but that doesn't mean the Empire has left Echo Canyon alone and left it unused.
In order to win the war with the Alliance, it is a matter of course to develop a new type of weapon, and if the Empire does not want the enemy to know about its existence and intends to conduct various tests after the weapon is developed, then where will they choose to test it?
Yes, that's right, Echo Canyon is the testing ground for these secret weapons, and Mangrove Ridge is where these weapons are housed and stored.
Octavir didn't know about these things originally, but later the empire went through a lot of things to make the girl like she is now, so she didn't have any opinion on Ley and the others choosing the decisive battle location in Taven City, and the girl knew very well that her brother must have some kind of killer weapon hidden.
However, due to Nangong Rong's activity and the timely arrival of the alliance team, this so-called killer weapon did not get a chance to be used, at least the eldest princess thought so, until she saw something suddenly appear behind the boy and his cheap sister.
Matthias is a genius, he has forcibly transformed the technology tree of the Razfield plane from a mechanical science to a magical biotechnology, and has also allowed the empire to maintain a leading position over the alliance in terms of the development and combat ability of Warcraft. However, when the whole world began to research and equip Warcraft for large-scale use, how to effectively counter Warcraft naturally became a very important topic.
Why are Warcraft, as flesh-and-blood creatures, more powerful than Tin Chariot Biplanes? Because they have the power provided by magic in their bodies, this power is temporarily incomparable to the current mechanical weapons, so on the battlefield, it will take several tanks to kill a Warcraft and even be killed by the other side.
What if the power of magic was infused into a mechanical weapon?
The thing that appeared behind Nangong Rong was a square tin can, connected to limbs that were not exquisitely shaped, and could even be said to be rudimentary, barely forming a human-like appearance; the surface was carved with a large number of complex and dazzling patterns, and it was also glowing with cyan light, as bright as a light bulb; its right hand was holding a firearm that was obviously specially made for it, and in its left hand was a huge shield, the surface was carved with many luminous lines like the body, and those who didn't know thought that this guy was a large firefly。
Because he had always been watching Octavir be vigilant about the next actions of the empire, Nangong Rong immediately noticed the stunned look on the girl's face, and when he hurriedly looked back, he couldn't help but sigh in surprise on the spot: ", could this be the legendary magic gundam?"
Lin Weiyin next to her grabbed the clothes on the young man's waist: "What kind of magic gundam, it's not even a kettle head at all, and it doesn't have a beard antenna, its characteristics don't match at all!"
Before the words fell, the girl dragged her cheap brother to slide out of place, and at the same time, the gun in the square tin can's hand also spewed out a beam of light, flying directly from the position where the two were standing.
That beam was obviously not the same as the laser weapon on Lin Weiyin's power armor, and it didn't pierce or burn the opponent's body after hitting an abyss monster in the distance that couldn't dodge, but produced an earth-shattering explosion, and the people who were fighting against it in the vicinity of the Dalian were all swept in.
"Wait, can anyone tell me what's going on!?" Octavier naturally knew the existence of the tin can in front of her, and she also knew that there was not only one thing, there were a dozen of them, "Isn't the puppet supposed to be used for the final battle with the alliance or the abyss, what is the trouble with it now to deal with Nangong Rong!?
The puppet is a kind of thing that even Razfield's myths and legends do not appear in all kinds of fantasy and other works.,The prototype is an elemental puppet summoned by magic.,After many artistic processes, it has a powerful body of steel、Powerful power that can smash rocks、Extremely high resistance to physics and magic.,It's an enemy that can make the protagonist and his friends run away in embarrassment.。
Or inexplicably, he was activated to recognize the master, and became the protagonist's biggest reliance on the protagonist to go sideways all over the world, compete for the world, and soak up all the beauties - depending on which style and genre the work belongs to.
Well, these are not the key, the point is that the technophiles of the Salturin Empire have successfully developed the puppet in a way that combines science and magic, and the only flaw is that everyone can't figure out the thinking circuit that can make the puppet act autonomously, so in the end they have to train a special driver to control it.
Hawkers, who told the people of this world that they were completely distorted before they had time to point out the technology of electronic computers?
In other words, Octavier would order the driver to stop attacking, and there was nothing wrong with it, the puppet was just a weapon in the driver's hands, not a machine with a bug or malfunction, and it would not run away if the pilot stopped, but only if the driver was willing to obey the girl's orders.
Obviously, this iron can, which was at least four or five meters high, turned the muzzle of the gun and continued to shoot at Nangong Rong, and the actual action of shooting them refused the order of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.
More puppets came out from behind the walls and joined the attack. At this time, if Octavier still doesn't understand what's going on, it can only be said that her hidden natural stupid attribute has attacked, but the girl never lets this cute attribute affect her in important things.
So when the girl saw this, she immediately gritted her teeth and stomped her foot hard: "Ley, and the old man, you are inevitably going too far!"
But the eldest princess also knew that there was nothing wrong with them doing this, even if Rog, who suffered defeat in Mangrove Ridge, did not leave the Razfield plane, he would continue to be pursued by the Alliance's squad, unable to effectively unify the Abyss in the Alliance's territory, and the Alliance would definitely not let the Abyss occupy Razfield, after all, it was rich in magic crystals, and the other party could only seek cooperation from the Empire when the Alliance was almost destroyed.
Maybe they will value the boy because of Nangong Rong's special talent, but they will not tear their faces with the empire for him, which gives Lai and the others the possibility and opportunity to take action to eliminate future troubles before Nangong Rong leaves the control of the empire.
In the past, it was an alliance, an abyss, and a lord's rebellion, so that the empire never had the time and energy to deal with the problems of the Han people, but now it is completely different. What's more, Nangong Rong's act of transforming the entire city into a puppet in the previous battle also made the imperial high-level feel extremely shocked and threatened, and combined with the identity of the teenager, it became a natural choice to leave him forever before he left the city.
"Hell, the fears are still happening. Lin Weiyin dragged Brother Cheap and said to him while quickly dodging the beam shot by the puppet, "But don't worry, if those tin cans can only stand stupidly and shoot at the target, I promise that I will definitely be able to take you out safely." ”
Nangong Rong has no doubt about this at all, the most important thing in air combat power armor is mobility, just when the girl grabbed herself to avoid the attack, they had already opened a long distance from the puppets near the city wall, and after the barrage became thin, they could directly rise into the air and climb high.
Then the two siblings were stunned to see the puppet that appeared first and attacked them spewed out many bright blue flames from its back, and then left the ground and suspended in mid-air, chasing after them at great speed.
To be reasonable, the jet plane is not unlocked at all in the technology tree of the Razfield plane, okay, and it is a wonder situation to use the jet thruster directly on the mech?
Well, it's actually just some kind of wind spell for flying, [slightly] a little more powerful, but it also works like a tech-made machine. As a result, Lin Weiyin was not able to get rid of the enemy as smoothly as she had previously speculated, but was entangled by the other party.
Nangong Rong's benefits of letting the cheap sister save her strength were finally reflected at this time, although the girl consumed part of her energy in the battle, she didn't completely consume it, so she couldn't let go of it when she shrank in the face of the puppet, and when the other party caught up, she pulled out the electric knife on her waist and greeted her fiercely.
Even the artillery type of power armor is not weak in melee at all, after all, they are designed to fight abyssal monsters, and the latter's melee ability is notoriously strong. However, the puppet in front of him apparently has a similar design, as it is used against various magical beasts that are also good at melee combat, so it quickly reacts to the girl's movements.
The other party decisively threw away the firearm, drew a single-edged axe from behind the shield, and slashed heavily at the girl's electric knife.
When the two weapons came into contact with each other, a large number of sparks suddenly splattered, and the harsh sound of metal clashing and grinding produced a violent vibration of the weapons themselves. Nangong Rong, who was splashed on the face by a small spark, reacted quickly, and immediately threw a blessing technique on the cheap sister's body, just saving the two of them.
Because the puppet smashed the shield towards Lin Weiyin on the spot while the axe was blocked, the damage was not very large, but it was sudden, but fortunately, the girl's defense was strengthened by the skill, so she did not lose her balance and was smashed to the ground, but with the armor on her arm, the opponent was shocked back.
In addition, Nangong Rong was also shocked, after all, the girl used to block the shield happened to be the arm that carried him, but no matter what, it was better than rolling on the ground to the point of being gray and even bleeding.
So far, the two sides should be evenly matched, but what happened next made Nangong Rong see the difference between a veteran driver who has experienced a hundred battles and a novice who has just entered the battlefield and only knows how to rely on the performance advantage of the airframe to make up for his own shortcomings.
Lin Weiyin shook her arms gorgeously and threw the boy away, and at the same time quickly curled up and raised her legs and kicked the puppet's chest exposed because both arms were shaken apart, causing it to lose its balance and rub it on the ground in an instant - that was enough, the whole puppet rolled wildly on the ground like a ball kicked by someone, and the weapon and shield were also thrown away.
Then all the girl had to do was to casually swing a knife at the metal ball, slashing its body through the middle and completely paralyzing its movements, without much difficulty. And after all this, the little girl still has time to catch Nangong Rong, who is about to land, lest he eat a mouth full of dust.
The puppet is absolutely scrapped, and as for the pilot inside, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, Lin Weiyin is not a god who can cut off the enemy's body no matter what the circumstances, and only the limbs are left with only the torso.
It's a pity that this fierce hand-to-hand encounter didn't deter the rest of the puppets, they all opened guns and chased after them, so that Lin Weiyin had to stuff back the idea of taking advantage of the situation.
"If we don't get rid of these heels, we're just going to be a great target for each other when we're trying to climb high. Lin Weiyin dodged the successive beams of light and explained to Nangong Rong, who was still a little dizzy, "Unless you can make a few puppets to stop the other party." ”
The young man spread his hands very decisively, and put on a helpless look. The potion given by Emmilina was indeed very effective, but this was not the reason why Nangong Rong could casually throw skills like no one else now.
"Well, I think so. I had no choice but to kill those magic Gundams one by one. ”
Lin Weiyin adjusted her posture slightly to make it easier for herself to fly with Nangong Rong on the ground, and then used her laser weapon to shoot at the puppets. Unlike the puppets who rely purely on visual aiming, the little girl with the help of the fire control system obviously has a much higher hit rate than her opponents.
After two or three test shots, the girl managed to hit a puppet, and then couldn't help but spat as its abruptly lit shield blocked her laser.
