Six hundred and twenty-nine one-two-three-four-five, yes five pairs......
The sky was dark, and outside the Castle of Light, against the high and thick walls, Rezlin felt a little at ease. But when his eyes fell on the neatly arranged puppets in front of him, his heart sank again.
Two hundred kobolds in armor, four hundred well-read and devout kobolds, waiting for the order to attack.
Under his careful training, these kobolds have become old oilmen on the battlefield. He also spent all the bounties Marquis Atlas had given him, equipping all kobolds with a full set of Mithril armor. But the guns don't have long eyes, and the Mithril armor was a good weapon of protection in the old era, and it can block stray fragments in the new era, but it is a little better than psychological comfort.
His small army, which has spent endless effort and enthusiasm, is about to be consumed as cannon fodder with a little value in this war that is destined to be won without victory.
The creator God absolutely loves His creation......
Rezling thought so, and like a broken-mouthed old woman, she told the kobolds again. Take out three points of strength, show ten heroics, and the remaining seven points of strength are ready to run away at any time.
"Googa, this is a battlefield, and sacrifice is inevitable. ”
Seeing the kobold leader snorting, Rezlin comforted that the little guy was getting more and more emotional.
"Teacher, I am glad," said Gollum, "Our prayers have been answered by the Goddess, and the compatriots who died in battle will surely be accepted into the kingdom of God by the Goddess." ”
Rezlin was silent, after the kobold learned five lectures and four beauties, he still didn't sense the goddess, he gritted his teeth and took out the "death" in the "Crimson Divine Codex" to teach the kobold.
This doctrine teaches the equality of all spirits, and he changed it to a further course in the Kobold Divine Codex, telling kobolds that as long as they have souls, beliefs, and do not feed on their own kind, they are equal to dragons, humans, half-elves, halflings, dwarves, orcs, and lizardmen.
This doctrine made the kobolds study the sacred scriptures more zealously, worship the goddess more devoutly, and then they actually got answers in their prayers!
However, Rezlin always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the kobold's response.
"Your message has been recorded, I will reply at the right time, please do not repeat the call. ”
It's a bit like the manual service of the Phillips communication network......
This made him both confused and apprehensive, and vaguely felt that he might have stabbed a big basket, but the kobold still hadn't gained the crimson divine power, and he was a little unwilling.
Fortunately, the working group that monitored him had not interfered with him, and he had already understood that it was impossible for him to hide the mess he had been stirring up from them, and perhaps they were just letting themselves experiment to see if Lady Crimson could really develop followers among kobolds.
This is just one of the ordeals he faces, and the other is now. Atlas praised his kobold armor and not only promoted him to the rank of brigade commander, but also promised to repay the Mad King for his post-battle and elevate him to the title.
When the steel marquis with the triangular head said this, there were bats standing behind him, and at that moment he really felt that countless bats were hanging on his back, ready to eat his flesh.
When will this spy day be the end?
Because of this, there is also a third layer of torment. Kidina sent a message saying that she was doing well with the halfling, and asked him to think about changing his thigh. Of course, the thighs are not halflings, they are her.
There was a debate within the working group about whether or not to let him switch to Kidina's side.
Considering that Atlas was about to launch a general attack, and that the resources and advantages on his side were on the kobolds, it might not be as convenient as it was now.
When Atlas is defeated, I have to talk to Helva and the white rats, spies or something, Rezlin really doesn't want to do it anymore.
Rezlin had no doubts about Atlas's defeat, after all, even a spy like himself was crouching beside Atlas, so did he still have to fight this battle?
As he was wandering, Gurga said, "I am still grieving for my compatriots who died before, and if I had been more patient with them, they should have been able to receive such glory, I have committed a terrible crime." ”
"No, Gollum, the Goddess will forgive your ......"
Rezlin sighed deeply, and reached out to rub the hair on the kobold's head, which actually felt quite good.
Outside the phalanx of two hundred kobolds were a few hundred disorganized puppets, miscellaneous soldiers sent by other lords, now under Rezling's command. This was very gratifying to him, and in his eyes, these puppets were cannon fodder for the kobolds to block the knife.
The order to attack should have been handed down soon, Rezlin rolled his eyes, thinking about how to maximize the value of these cannon fodder, and the dull footsteps came from inside the fort, and the ground shook slightly.
The kobolds didn't react much, the puppets were a little disorganized, and the miscellaneous soldiers gathered farther away let out a tidal wave of exclamations. The necks of the humans, half-elves, and halflings stretched out as if they had been pulled up by an invisible hand.
Not far away, the gate of the fort erupted into large fragments, and a giant almost the same height as the castle wall stepped out of the dust, making Rezlin subconsciously gasp.
It was a huge golem, fifteen or sixteen meters tall, with a stout body and angular limbs, and a thick obsidian-like shell covered with blue magic circuits. The light flickered faintly, and as a magician, Rezlin could clearly sense the surging magic running inside the golem's body.
The golem wears an old-fashioned helmet on its head, has only a scarlet eye larger than a human head, holds a shield in one hand, holds a mace in the other hand that is too thick for a person to hold, and has some magic guide devices on its arms that are obviously incongruous.
The shape and style of the entire golem is reminiscent of a cyclops, and Rezling finally understands what is in the wagons that have been constantly being brought into the Castle of Light these days.
Strengthen the Golem of War, the hole card of Atlas, Marquis of Steel.
It seems that the soul of the cyclops is used as the core of the golem, this Atlas is really powerful.
Rezlin was admiring as the golem stepped forward with heavy steps, its back exposed. Three hatches were opened from the back of the neck to the waist, and the crew stepped on the open hatches, looking down at the miscellaneous soldiers with either high-spirited or disdainful eyes.
No wonder Atlas looks at himself differently, just look at the magic guide device installed on the golems, and Atlas has transformed these golems with the idea of kobold armor.
Compared to the Adamantite Golem that Atlas used before, this War Golem is indeed much stronger, but it only depends on one......
Before Rezlin could finish muttering in her heart, another golem walked out of the castle gate, expanding the gatehouse and gate where the previous golem had smashed into a gap.
One after another, endlessly, and when the count reached fifty, the vibrations in the Holy Light Fort were still dense and continuous.
The horn of the attack sounded, and a large number of griffons, horned eagles, two-headed wyverns, and even harpies flew through the sky.
Rezling's face turned from white to blue, and from blue to black.
This posture doesn't look good......
There are dozens or hundreds of such terrifying enhanced war golems alone, and now there are flying troops!
I'm afraid it's going to be over!
"Scared?"
The sound of the bat suddenly sounded, and Rezlin shuddered, and this was the time when he was really afraid.
"Don't overthink it, just do what you have to do. ”
Bat winked at him: "By the way, I would like to remind you, don't continue to nest in the Holy Light Castle, the farther away the better." ”
Rezlin instantly understood something, and gasped again.
Looking at his kobold armor, and then looking at the golems that were still coming out of the castle, Rezlin had the feeling that ants were circling around the cat and mouse, this was definitely not a battlefield that his kobold armor could mix.
..................
"Second Lieutenant, it's time for us to go!"
"Wait, I'm not willing to retreat without firing!"
Between the hills covered by the military unit, the trenches were crisscrossed, the craters were dense, and a six-legged chariot covered with camouflage nets lurked quietly, but the channel inside the car was not so quiet.
"Second Lieutenant, are you going to lock us up again?"
"Captain Yuskar is not something that everyone can learn, he goes into the little dark room and sleeps for a whole day!"
"The company commander's order is the queen of the palace, and if you don't even see the enemy, you will run away and call it the air of the temple!"
"But the time has come! If you don't leave, you're disobeying orders!"
"Don't be verbose...... Here it ——!."
As Captain Hessler shouted, the other three members of the crew all looked out through their observation windows, and then let out an oh exclamation at the same time.
"What a big one! It's the Colossus of War, isn't it?"
"It's coming up three thousand meters away, how tall does that have to be?"
"I don't know, it's less than twenty meters high, it's called a Colossus? The real Colossus is 100 meters high, and even a legend can't do it!"
"Platoon commander, it!"
Hessler leaned out of the turret, stared at the golem with his eagle glasses, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Load the magic steel bullet, prepare, and hit it when it enters two thousand meters!"
Three minutes later, the entire crew breathed a sigh of relief, and finally entered two thousand meters, and then took a breath of cool air, and more golems appeared, dozens of them!
"Let's withdraw quickly, since the top has let go of the front, it means that he knows that this guy can't be beaten by us. ”
"Who knows if you haven't beaten it......"
"Griffons, dragons, we only have one shot!"
"It's good to aim and fire! That guy has at least one drawback, and that's that he's too slow. ”
Hessler confirmed the shooting for the last time, holding the trigger handle and firing the cannon.
The chariot shook slightly, and a circle of orange-red flames swung from the muzzle of the cannon, and then it was pulled into a flame line by the fireball that came out of the disembowel, and disappeared in an instant.
The fireball arced at a speed clearly visible to the naked eye, and it took four or five seconds for it to fall on the body of the giant golem nearly two thousand meters away.
In the eagle glasses, a four-fold fireball exploded in the waist of the golem, and Hessler said excitedly: "Hit ——!"
The golem's pace paused, and it started again, crashing into the fireworks, unaffected by its speed. There were only a few cracks in the area hit by the Magic Steel armor-piercing projectile, and the cracks gradually dissipated as the blue light of the magic circuit flickered.
Seeing the golem raise its arms, Hessler shouted, "Hurry up!"
The driver had already been prepared, as soon as he shouted, the pale golden light in his hand lit up, the chariot shrugged forward, and six thick mechanical turtle legs supported the body of the car and reversed out of the crater, and ran directly backwards, drawing an arc while running.
In the distance, several harpies flew over, and a ball of fireball landed where the chariot had been, exploding a tall pillar of dust.
"I didn't even see it, didn't I hit?"
"It seems to have hit, but it's useless. ”
"So this cannon doesn't mean anything other than proving that we can only tickle that guy?"
The others shouted, and Hessler defended himself unwillingly: "That guy is too hard!
He added: "Speaking of which, it's still a problem with artillery, and our four-rate cannon is not good for dealing with this kind of hard shell!"
"Platoon commander, it's not that you always have to learn from Yuskar, we can change our clothes. ”
"I heard that the cannon on there is different......"
"I still like our old tortoise, and I've heard that the new chariot has two walking modes, and it's deadly heavy. ”
The chariot retreated to the level ground, and Hula drifted and shook the front of the cart, and rushed south. At this time, not only the car group channel was talking, but the company battalion headquarters channel also sounded a whoa-wow scream, all of which were scolding Hessler.
Hessler said thickly: "Failure is a successful mother, and it is quite cost-effective to change a mother with a day of confinement." ”
The Harpy chased for some distance, was chased away by machine guns, and the chariot crossed a large wasteland, galloping for more than ten kilometers, stopping in front of a line of defenses that resembled breakwaters.
"Is there a way to stop the enemy here? Not even a military unit, and no bunkers or traps?"
Hessler muttered in confusion, then his gaze was glued to a chariot that had just rounded the embankment.
The body was square and angular, more than a circle larger than his own tank, and the equally square turret rested in front of the body, and the thick barrel protruded far from the hull.
This is not unusual, but the strange thing is that instead of mechanical turtle legs, the sides of the body are two wide and thick steel straps. The straps turned, making a creaking sound of metal rubbing, dragging the chariot across the ground, leaving two distinct marks.
The square-headed chariot approached, and Hessler saw the side of the chariot, with two small wheels dangling in front of and behind the steel belt, and several large wheels pressed against the ground.
He counted carefully, one, two, three, four, five......
That's right, five pairs of big, rough and heavy wheels.
The two carts were about to stagger when the five-pair wheeled straps suddenly froze, and the chariot slid forward and stopped, and the officer who leaned out of the turret beckoned to him: "Hesler! Why did you come here? I almost took you as a target just now, and if you become the first of the new chariots, it will go down in history." ”
"Captain Yuskal!"
Hessler hurriedly saluted, and then asked curiously: "This is the new chariot, how to use this ...... Walking with iron straps?"
"It's too heavy, it's too slow to use the mechanical legs", Yuskar spread his hands, "the point is not the straps, it's five pairs of wheels, isn't it?"
Hessler was worried: "If you run into trenches and craters, you'll be in trouble." ”
"Don't worry," Yuskal laughed, "there are still legs." ”
At this time, Hessler came back to his senses from the strange painting style of the new chariot, and said nervously: "The enemy has dispatched a huge golem, which is very difficult to deal with!"
"Got it", Yuskar said calmly: "We can see clearly......"
He leaned over and patted the black barrel of the cannon, full of confidence: "Our new cannon is not vegetarian, you go back to the small black house and wait for our good news." ”
