Chapter 41: The Secret Weapon

"Hey, I'll just say it, those who are leaders always like to make some small calculations that others don't know. Ji Yijun said with a smile.

"It was my father who brought us here. Yasin said.

"Well, I'm talking nonsense, don't care. ”

"However, he did know more secrets of the Black Dragon Empire, but he died when he broke off and did not leave any last words. We just came to settle here according to his previous instructions. As for the reason for choosing this place, no one knows anymore. Yasin said.

"Anyway, the old patriarch has picked a good place, and we haven't been disturbed much in all these years, except for the damned evil spirits. Sinclair said.

Chief Yasen pondered for a moment, pulled Sinclair aside, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Sinclair's eyes widened: "Village Chief, you, are you sure?!"

"That kid's words just now reminded me, perhaps, I understand why we are here, and what I have to do. ”

"But what if these people are greedy? And it will take at least a day to prepare that thing. ”

"We have time to prepare, but if we drag it on, the evil spirits will not give us time to live here. Nothing is more important now than destroying what's in the ruins. Have you forgotten how your son was tormented by evil spirits?"

"Alright!" Sinclair beckoned to a few dwarves and hurried away.

While they were talking, Ji Yijun's drone had already turned around again. Chen Hansheng counted the number of golems: "Twenty-five moving golems, twenty are suspected to be damaged, and five are completely damaged. Village Chief, how about the combat power of these golems?"

"Each golem is comparable in combat power to a mid-level samurai, and its defensive power far exceeds that of dwarves and humans. ”

"Comparable to a mid-level samurai? Doesn't that mean that there are more than twenty mid-level samurai waiting to fight us?" Ji Yijun stammered.

"Then do you know the fighting style and weaknesses of these golems?" Luo Ling asked.

"We dwarves are just craftsmen who make parts, and we don't know how to give wisdom to golems or how to manipulate their actions, that's the job of the Imperial Golemists. However, if there are weaknesses, they are indeed more vulnerable behind them than in front of them, and their heads and joints are more easily damaged. ”

"How do they distinguish between enemies and their masters?" Luo Ling asked again.

"Different golems have different levels of intelligence. It stands to reason that a high-level golem like the Dragon Guardian Golem has the ability to distinguish enemies on its own. ”

"But they took Matthew Knight for an intruder. Mr. Adan, do you have anything in your hand to identify yourself so that these golems can distinguish between friend and foe?" Luo Ling asked.

"Matthew has just put my black dragon pendant on his body. Maybe the golem still attacked them. ”

"Then we have to find a way to deal with them. Lao Chen, if you want to fight, what do you think?"

"It's about fighting on your home turf. Below they have enough of the position, and we can't go down and get under siege. So we have to find a way to bring them up. This crossing is not very wide, and it is probably only for two or three golems to pass through, so we have to take advantage of this and let them come up in batches to die. Chen Hansheng pointed to the entrance of the ruins, "We may have to use the power of the dwarves to build a wall fortification." ”

"Walling? It's a good idea, but I have a better suggestion. Yasin said.

————————————————

Now that it was certain that Matthew and Nate had been killed, the people above had plenty of time. After discussing with the dwarves, Luo Ling and the others decided to spend more time preparing to reduce possible losses.

The dwarves fenced the entrance to the ruins with a wall of stones, one and a half meters high and one meter thick, with a gap in the middle that humans could pass through, but this width was impassable for the golem. The wall is curved, and as long as the golem is stopped by the wall, it will be attacked from more than 180 degrees in the surrounding area.

Elaina also planted some vines in the walls and ripen them with magic. These vines, though not lethal, fill the ground with stumbling and slow the golem's movements.

Outside the wall, the dwarves used wood to resist horses under the guidance of Chen Hansheng, allowing one person to pass between every two horses, and if the battle ahead was unfavorable, these horses could provide time for everyone to retreat.

After the rejection of the horse, there was a low wall, which differed from the previous one in that there were battlements made on the edge of the wall. Like what kind of weapon is ready to be placed.

Even though dwarves are good at crafting, it takes them a day to build them.

At noon the next day, when all the fortifications were about to be completed, the village chief of Yasen finished refueling and cheering up the dwarven craftsmen, and met Luo Ling on the construction site.

"Village Chief Yasen, fate is really interesting, if it weren't for the cooperation of the two of us, you wouldn't be able to find out the secrets of the evil spirits, and we wouldn't have had the opportunity to go deep into the ruins. Luo Ling, along with the village chief, was watching the dwarven craftsmen paint the stone walls with an unknown layer of slurry.

"To be honest, I never imagined that one day I would cooperate with humans. I've lived through those days in the Black Dragon Empire. Although humans relied on us to make golem components at that time, and gave us decent living conditions, we were a bunch of slaves who couldn't get out of the camp. But obviously, Your Excellency Luo Ling, you are not such a person. ”

"Your trust will not be in vain. I've got some speculation now that the spirits might have something to do with these golems. ”

"Whatever it is, as long as they disrupt our lives down there, I'm going to destroy them. Yasin said firmly.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound on the road not far away, and a team of dwarves led by Sinclair pushed four or five carts over. The cart is covered with a long barrel of weights with cloth, which makes the wheels press deep into the ground.

"What is this?"

"This is the most powerful weapon in our village. Pneumatic cannon. When Sinclair's team came to him, Yasin said to Luo Ling.

The people who were working around saw the movement here and gathered around.

"I'll just say, how can there be no real cannon if there is a hand cannon. Chen Hansheng muttered, a rare look of excitement on his face.

"But why don't you put wheels on the cannon. Ji Yijun said softly.

"Don't talk too much, look at it with confidence. ”

Yasin lifted the cloth from the car, revealing the true face of the pneumatic cannon. The material of this cannon is very similar to that of a hand cannon, both of which are a kind of ferroalloy, and the gun body is two meters long, divided into two sections, the front two-thirds are the barrel, and the back third is the air cavity. Similar to the Dwarven Hand Cannon, there is a platform above the airsoft gun with a gas gathering circle carved into it. On the side of the cannon there was a trigger-like mechanism, presumably used to open the air cavity when firing.
