Chapter 40: The Source of Danger
"Brother, Uncle Matthew, they're in danger. We need to save them!" Ora shouted at Adam, drawing his sword.
Matthew and Nate are both mid-tier peak knights. Let these two carefully guarded masters disappear in a few breaths, which shows that what they have encountered is very dangerous.
Adam clutched the hilt of his sword and froze in the doorway, wondering for a moment whether he should rush down to the rescue.
Matthew and Nate were his two most trusted knights, and he didn't have many of them, and if he could, he would save them anyway.
But in the group, only he and Kalanda are high-level warriors, and their strength is better than Matthew's. However, the so-called mid-level and high-level are not a simple comparison of combat power values, and in many cases, high-level warriors may not be much stronger than middle-tier warriors.
"It's too dangerous to go down in a hurry. We have to be ready. At this time, Luo Ling said.
"That's right, prepare the dwarves to stop it. Kalanda and I went down to find out. Chen Hansheng said.
"No, still with drones. Luo Ling objected.
"Xiao Luo, that thing is too precious to be wasted like this. And it doesn't fly fast, and the sound is loud, so it is estimated that it will be solved by the enemy in one shot. I'm different from Kalanda, we're fast, we can play and run. Chen Hansheng said, glancing at Kalanda. The latter nodded in agreement with his judgment.
"These foreign objects are as safe as yours. Luo Ling took out the drone by herself, "Since the committee agreed to bring it, then be prepared for losses." Don't fight with me, that's it. ”
The dwarves, under Sinclair's command, lined up outside the cave. In front of the man with the axe and shield were the two exhaust gunners crouching and standing. The dwarves fired more frequently than the flintlock muskets, so instead of using a three-shot approach, they fired in two rows in turn. Although these dwarves are all from the village, they are obviously trained enough, and they appear to be very professional in both the queue and the movements. The masters in Luo Ling's team were also unsheathed and ready for battle, and most of them stood on both sides of the dwarven phalanx, playing the role of stragglers.
This time the drone is still controlled by Ji Yijun, Luo Ling released a mute technique centered on the drone, and Elaina released a concealment technique, this magic can reduce the reflection of light, making it more difficult for others to detect it.
Sure enough, after this takeoff, the drone did not make any noise, and it looked very inconspicuous, quietly entering the entrance of the tunnel.
Luo Ling's tablet clearly showed the drone's field of vision, and it slowly floated through the stone path and came to the door of a hall.
"Oh my God! Aura exclaimed as she stood behind Luo Ling as a tall metal figure appeared in front of the screen. It had pitch-black metal limbs, demonic patterns all over its body, and a large long knife attached to its arm.
"Golem. That's what the Empire's golem looks like in the atlas. Adan said.
"I'll go, isn't this a robot? How can there be such advanced things here? I don't know what metal they're made of, they look violent. Ji Yijun manipulated the drone around a golem, "It seems that the structure behind it is weaker." You see, some institutions are exposed. Oh, there's a lot more over there!"
I saw that in the hall, which looked to be three or four hundred square meters, dozens of golems more than two meters high stood quietly. The form of these golems is basically the same as the one at the door, except that the weapons in their hands are varied.
Ji Yijun raised the drone to a position close to the roof and floated quietly over the heads of the golems, and the people around him held their breath, for fear of disturbing him to control the drone and let the golems find out.
"I saw Uncle Matthew and them, just, on the ground in front of the left, they, they look so miserable!" Ora covered his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes.
"It's miserable. Ji Yijun asked the drone to move in that direction, and the bodies of Matthew and the two were clearly displayed in front of everyone. The two of them were clearly besieged by the Golems, and nearly twenty Golems in front of them surrounded the two of them in the middle. Matthew's head was separated, and his legs were trampled by the golem's meat sauce. Nate made two large holes in his body, apparently stabbed through by two spears.
Nate avenged Matthew's death. Luo Ling said, pointing to two destroyed golems not far from Matthew, one kneeling on the ground, with half of his head cut off. The other stood with his head down. Nate's cutlass stuck in the back of his neck, "This suggests that these golems have a weakness in their heads, which can at least be broken by steel knives." ”
"But there are too many golems, if the two of them fight so hard, it won't be easy for us to go in. Ji Yijun said.
"It seems that there are more than these two golems damaged. Luo Ling clicked on the edge of the screen and said, "You fly to the wall and look at the golems that are neatly arranged and don't move their positions." ”
Ji Yijun manipulated the drone and flew towards the wall. I saw that there were seven or eight golems standing in the same posture by the wall alone.
"Look. The golems were covered in dust, and it was clear that they had just not moved. If we assume that all the golems react to the enemy, it is likely that the golems have been damaged. ”
"Maybe these golems are attacking in batches? These may just be reserves. Ji Yijun said.
Luo Ling shook his head and said: "It's unlikely, first of all, the position where these golems stand is very irregular, second, the damage and rust on the bodies of these golems are obviously more serious than the golems who just participated in the encirclement, and third, do you see the traces of cracking and water seepage on the back wall? The location of those cracks almost corresponds to the location of the damaged golems." Finally, if I were the designer of this defense system, I would have the reserves on standby after activation, at least ready for battle, such as preparing weapons and locking on to the enemy, but these golems did nothing. ”
"Sister Luo Ling, I really convinced you. So much to see through one screen. Ji Yijun admired.
She was right. At this time, the dwarven village chief Yasen, who had been silent, spoke, "This is the dragon guard type golem of the Black Dragon Empire, and we valley dwarves don't know how much effort we put into making them back then. Unexpectedly, these things ended up hiding so close to where we were staying. I was personally involved in making their parts. If this golem is rusted to such an extent, it must be broken. ”
"Uncle Village Chief, this is fate. This ruin should have been there a long time ago, and when you moved here to live in seclusion, I am afraid that you will want to go with the people who built the ruins. Or maybe your leaders knew about these things, and maybe they were trying to take out the golem and use it. Ji Yijun said.
As if thinking of something, Yasin frowned and remained silent.
