Chapter 485: Breaking In
Steel golems stood on either side, bronze metal doors that had slid open, now locked. The magicians silently prepared, and the puppets carried down the small magic cannon, and they set up a platform in the passage to install the magic cannon.
This sliding metal door, quite heavy, with a sandwich in the middle, is a hard solid wood. The wrapped metal is also more than two centimeters thick.
The solid wood inside the mezzanine must have been arranged with a magic array, and if you want to chop it with a knife and axe, it is impossible to open the door.
Corleone is ready to use a magic cannon to bombard directly, simple and rude.
Corleone and Xia He stepped down into the passage first, looking at the metal gate, Xia He said, "Don't you make a pre-attack?"
"It looks like there's a Chaos Pattern inside, and the pre-attack and the magic cannon attack can't complement each other. Anyway, it consumes strength, so it can be done with a small magic cannon, and the magician preserves his strength. ”
Xia He looked at the ground, it was hard iron and mudstone, which could be regarded as magically processed, and the earth splitting technique was not very useful. And this is an underground passage, and if it collapses, the mage himself will be unlucky.
Although the front is spacious, it can't line up all the magicians there, there are really any accidents, and it is difficult to retreat.
Xia Hedao: "Actually, it's not that difficult, this kind of portal without counterattack is indeed the best." But let me do something first, and you're ready. ”
"Good. Although Corleone had his own plans, he happily agreed.
Xia He released a puppet, this puppet is quite simple, obviously an immature work, and a lot of plug-ins have been removed. It seems, there is no combat power. Corleon looked puzzled, and then he saw that the Marquis of Asra had taken something and handed it to the puppet.
The golem held the weapon, approached the metal door, the front of the weapon, popped out a drill bit, and began to spin rapidly.
The magicians were speechless, this puppet and that weapon, they were very ordinary, only the quality of the drill was excellent, and in the blink of an eye, the drill bit pierced through the outer layer of metal.
If you slash with a knife and axe, or bombard with magic, these attacks can be evenly dispersed. However, the strange drill bit drilled down, and the outer layer of metal was directly punched out of a hole.
Xia Hedao: "You see, sometimes, it's much easier to think differently. ”
As he spoke, he commanded the puppet, changed positions, and continued to make holes with the drill. It didn't take long for a ring of holes to appear in the metal gate. At this time, there is no need for Xia He's guidance. A steel golem stepped forward, bent down, and blasted upward, revealing a hollow in the metal shell, and the connected holes were completely torn.
The Iron Golem reached out and tore the entire circle of metal off.
The magicians were dumbfounded, they didn't understand how it worked. Xia He also didn't explain that the similar defensive means of normal Daomen would have counterattacks, repairs, and all ways to deal with them. It really has to be solved in a hard-nosed way.
The golem proceeds to destroy the outer metal with the drill, and then the steel golem goes up to rip off the metal that has been initially cut by the drill.
The gate was seven or eight meters high, and the puppet only handled the two meters below, but it was enough.
Xia He caused the Steel Golem to retreat, unleashing a shattered Hell that burned directly into the lower half of the gate. After the metal skin of the gate was broken, its defense against flames decreased a bit. Xiahe's Shattered Hell is known for its long burning time, and on the battlefield, it can block the enemy's progress and form a moat.
The wood inside this gate, more than half a meter thick, was made by spells, and Xia He's fierce magic flames didn't ignite it, but the magic patterns inside were weakened, Xia He: "You observe, it's almost time to open a cannon attack." ”
"Let's get out first, the aftermath of the magic cannon is not pleasant. Corleone said.
Xia He nodded, and the magicians exited the passage, leaving only the person who controlled the small magic cannon. In addition, the Iron Golem and the golem also retreated. Magic artillery cannons can't distinguish between friend and foe, as long as they are in front, they will be blasted into slag.
The passage was quite spacious, but there was no safe place in front of the magic artillery, and after everyone withdrew, six small magic cannons lined up roared together.
The mage in charge of the attack, raised his shield, but was still lifted out.
The entire gate was half destroyed at once, and the hot temperature of the cave made people dare not approach.
Frost World!
Gothic an epic magic was lost, the temperature was quickly lowered, and everyone did not hesitate to damage the magic cannon itself in order to break in.
Rushing out of the front row were four steel golems, then twenty battle mages, and then two hundred heavy infantry plus a core mage regiment. Behind them were more than 3,000 elite soldiers.
The human army entered in an orderly manner, and the four steel golems rushed into the ground, and hundreds of weapons were thrown at them at once.
There are stone bullets, arrows, hammers, magic ......
The body of the golem was suddenly covered with scars. Xia He looked at it from a distance, feeling very speechless, what kind of attack is this, just breaking the skin of the Iron Golem? That's really the skin, just to make the Iron Golem look more beautiful, and then there is no other meaning.
Twenty battle mages quickly rushed in, fireballs firing in all directions. The hoplites followed, and upon entering, they found that it was a small square, and in front of it was an army, probably nearly a thousand men. The mage behind the Iron Golem who unleashed the fireball was not attacked at all.
The hoplites, armed with muskets, lunged forward, pulling the trigger at the same time, and two hundred magic muskets roared.
Xia He glanced at Corleon beside him and said, "This is your information?"
Corleone blushed a little, he didn't expect that the tough underground world would block the inside and outside, but the army was so weak that it was only more than a thousand people, and he wanted to resist his own army.
According to the elite level of the empire's army, it is not a problem for one person to fight ten of the other party.
Twenty magicians were covered with fireballs, directly interrupting the opponent's attack, and after two hundred muskets fired, the opposite side was completely stupid. The hoplites did not charge, and more than 100 people were knocked down in the front row.
Xia He saw snowmen, dwarves, wormmen, cave people, and even some bat people.
This army is a hodgepodge, the dwarves and cavemen in it are quite strong, and the batmen are almost burned by a wave of fireballs, screaming on the ground.
However, the army of the county king did not take it lightly, and quickly advanced to find a strategic position.
After entering the gate, there is a small square, and there is a passage in all directions, but the passage directly in front is the widest, which is behind the army of the underworld.
The two wings originally had high platforms, but there was no one stationed on them.
The human soldiers in the back rushed in, and immediately assigned a hundred people to the left and right, occupying the commanding heights.
The auxiliary mage released the acceleration technique, and all kinds of shields fell on the soldiers, and the human soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and their feet almost crushed from the bodies of more than a thousand enemies at the speed of a charge.
Xia He has participated in many wars, but for the first time, the difference in strength between the two sides is so large. And this time, the other party has no backup means.
The guy who seized the human merchant is this kind of goods?
"Take the prisoners, interrogate them, move on. Corleone barely calmed down and gave the order. More human armies poured in from behind, and soldiers and auxiliary mages worked together to kill the surrounding passages.
To their disappointment, however, they did not meet with decent resistance.
In these passages, there are indeed some enemies in ambush, but these enemies are not even armored, and they seem to be inferior to human mercenaries.
Xia Hexin said that it was really easy for him to make this money, anyway, no matter what the enemy was, he had the credit.
But well, the enemy has a very powerful epic? Why haven't you seen any of them?
Xia He is also strange, but this is not his concern, he now hopes to quickly find a place where he can be stationed, and then he will stay in the camp himself, waiting for the ghosts to collect gold, jade, wood and stone underground. The magicians of the county king also hope to hold themselves back and not wander around.
Because of the map, the army prioritizes advancing the caves on both sides, with a slight slower midpart. These caves are interconnected, and if you advance too quickly in the middle, you may be flanked from both sides.
However, all caution turned into a waste of time, and when the army pushed into the location of the underground city, they saw that the huge underground city was full of broken walls and ruins, as if they had just experienced a great battle.
The dungeon's shrinking army, less than two thousand, quickly collapsed under the attack of magic muskets.
"Lord Marquis. Corleone also looked inexplicable.
Xia Hedao: "It should be that there was an accident here, and they have no negotiation conditions, so they took a gamble and blocked the gate, expecting us to retreat." ”
Corleone couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "I have a life, and I have to jump into the abyss in front of me, how can I leave." ”
Xia Hedao: "These underground creatures, what do they know, they are not even unified. ”
Corleon regained a little of his ability to think, and knew that the Blood Mage was right. The civilization of the underground world is backward, and the view of affairs cannot be the same as that of the human empire.
In the underworld, sometimes giving up is the means of survival. But once the human empire has a plan, it will only find ways to complete it.
Xiahe's people didn't experience much fighting, and he chose the location north of the underground city to build a camp.
He asked his magicians to tear down the original house and build it himself. He looked like he was going to stay here all year round, and he frightened the mages of the Lilac County King, Corleon.
Corleon was busy directing everyone, and Goth was sent over.
When he saw Xia He, he asked a little directly: "Lord Marquis, are you planning to stay here for a long time?"
"Of course not, the student's trial task is completed, and I leave. ”
"But ......"
"You're saying I'm building fortifications? It's part of the mission, to make the students skilled in the military, and many of them may have to join the army in the future, and besides, I don't think the city is very safe. ”
