Chapter 226: Cannon Fodder

"Headmaster, this thing is actually a goblin technique, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info If you want to use it to build a magic tower, don't rush it. ”

"Of course I'm not in a hurry, but you're in a hurry. ”

"I'm not in a hurry, Magic Tower, I already have one. ”

The headmaster of Metatrin just smiled and said, "When you come back from the border, come to me directly and tell me about the Chaos Barrier." ”

After he said this, he took the water of fate and returned it to Xia He.

Xia He's request, the principal agreed, he specially prepared twenty elite mercenaries for Xia He, the mercenary captain led by a thirty-level magic warrior, and the spell casting level has reached twenty. This is when he first learned magic and was sure that he would not achieve anything, so he turned to a warrior.

Few people can choose this, life is short, and not many people will suffer from starting over.

This person re-cultivated from a level 20 mage, learned warrior skills, and reached level 30, which is nothing compared to legends, but among ordinary masters, it is really unprecedented.

Twenty college mercenaries, Xia He brought four more students, the class presidents Yelena, Okini, Pugin, and Cole.

On the airship field of the academy, Xia He gathered everyone together and said, "On this mission, my goal is to bring back some samples of the alien invaders, not to destroy these things. The map has been sent to you, and if you look at it carefully, you are not allowed to enter the danger zone I have marked. ”

"Yes. The students and mercenaries agreed.

"If I'm not, Command Freya. Freya is not there, Medirri is in command, none of us are there, Elena is in charge. After Xia He finished speaking, he sent the map down.

Paper maps have no magical properties, and are color-coded to distinguish the terrain from high and low, with complex lines.

The airship soared into the air, rising at breakneck speed, spewing thick black smoke. The airship vibrated violently, not comfortable at all, this is military goods, the first guarantee is safety, the second guarantee is performance, comfort is the last thing to consider.

Compared with the one Xia He took before, this airship has a pair of fixed wings in addition to an airbag on it, and some of them look like ancient flying machines in the Shenzhou world. However, the magic array blessed on the wings is quite exquisite, allowing the airship not only to fly quickly, but also to flexibly turn in the air.

The airship rose to a height of more than two thousand meters, and then corrected its direction and flew towards the border.

Xia He checked the information again, and Metatrin gave him a little more information, and he already had a sample analysis of otherworldly creatures. These otherworldly creatures, most of which are made of metal machinery, have a magical core, and although they have no soul, they have powerful computing and analysis capabilities and can fight autonomously.

There are also creatures whose core is flesh and blood, which, when combined with metal machinery, is much more complex and more ferocious in combat.

Xia He was not surprised by this kind of mechanical creature because of his insight into the Shenzhou world, and similar things could be created by the Shenzhou Empire.

What can't be created is to make these things come to life and be reproduced at high speed.

This is absolutely not allowed, and if it does, mechanical life will soon eat up a world. The self-replication of machinery must be controlled, which is the basic common sense of all Shenzhou people.

And this otherworldly invasion is not the product of the loss of control of technology, those creatures that combine flesh and blood and machinery definitely have souls.

Xia He analyzed the data for a while, then gathered everyone together and said, "Although it is said that the metal projectile attack of the otherworldly creatures is difficult for you to break the defense, the cost of their attack is not high, and your battle qi and magic power consumption is not small. So if there is a fight, be sure to use a shield to defend it. Their light attacks are very powerful, but they are very harmful to the eyes, and they must wear goggles the whole time. ”

The mercenaries are also listening patiently, even if they are experienced in many battles, they will obey the arrangements of the magician.

"It's actually quite simple, I'm going to clean up this stuff on the periphery, mainly attacking with a freezing ray, freezing it, and then bringing back the sample. You try to fight by other means, and I'll collect footage of your battles. Twenty of you are protecting the four magicians, and you are divided into actions. ”

Everyone began to quietly look at the map and remember the most dangerous areas.

When it got dark, the airship entered the mountains and landed at the forward camp set up by Metatrin. This is the last place where you can land an airship, and further inside, the terrain is complicated, the air currents are chaotic, and the cost of landing the airship will be great.

Xia He asked the students to rest at camp for three hours and meditate before setting off.

The mercenaries also had a brief meal, and Xia He walked around the camp and found that the camp was full of wooden towers. At the top of the wooden tower is the Mage's Eye, and the top floor is surrounded by shield walls, with a magic crossbow that can be raised and lowered in the middle.

Above the camp, every now and then metal bullets whizzed by, and the magic crossbow rose and fired back into the distance.

Every time you shoot back, you can shoot an intruder, which is very efficient, but attacking a magic crossbow at such a distance and firing a magic crossbow arrow will probably cost a few gold coins.

The price of the intruder's metal bullets is quite low, and the cost of one will not exceed ten copper coins.

The flight speed of those metal bullets does not exceed a thousand meters per second, and some even have a speed of only four or five hundred meters. For a magician, it is completely reactive.

The defensive ability of the shield wall is not higher than magic, and many bullet attacks on the shield wall of the wooden tower are embedded in the wooden shield. However, after the wooden shield has been attacked dozens of times, it will have a vulnerable area, and if it is not repaired, it will easily collapse.

Xia He had almost finished observing, and the students had finished meditating, so Xia He led the team and left the camp and went deep into the mountains.

Close to the location of the camp, even if it is cleared, more invasive species will soon approach.

Xia He released an eye of the Frost Giant, and the team walked along the path. The Frost Giant's Eye looked around and quickly spotted its target. It was in the woods on the hillside, dozens of metal-mechanical beings sneakily approaching.

These metal beings, walking upright, resemble metal golems, only emaciated.

They have three glowing eyes on their faces, long weapons on their metal arms, and a metal tube in front of them.

What an inefficient thing, Xia He thought to himself, and told the information to the team.

The team turned and rushed towards the hillside, the projectiles of metal life, all of which attack in a straight line and do not turn, and if they fight in the woods, they rely on the metal knives equipped at the end of their weapons to fight hand-to-hand.

If it is a metal golem of a magician, the structure will be thicker, the defense will be stronger, and it will also have a long-range attack method, and it will definitely be much more powerful than the thin bamboo pole in front of you.

Once the intruder was sure that he had been spotted, he quickened his pace, and ten metal robots rushed up, the rest raised their weapons one after another, and the rest also raised their weapons to aim. However, the sparse woods are not suitable for a straight line attack, and Yelena, who rushed in front, tried to find cover and did not give the opponent a chance to aim.

100 meters, 80 meters, 60 meters......

When the distance was close to fifty meters, Yelena gave up hiding and suddenly appeared, a small blue ice pick flying out of her hand. The ice pick blocked the muzzle of a raised gun like lightning, and an explosion was heard in the metal robot's weapon.

The red mechanical eyes flickered rapidly, and two fireballs exploded, blowing away four of the mechs that rushed to the front. The mercenaries took their bows and arrows and began to attack from a distance of fifty meters. The metal robot in the front row raised his weapon, and saw a metal projectile whizzing out of the metal tube.

The mercenary raised his shield, and the battle spirit was output, and he stopped in front of Yelena.

Elena was excited, and for the first time, she had come to complete a battle as the main general.

Ice picks, wind blades, fireballs!

She attacks methodically, the icicles in their tiniest form, piercing directly into the barrel of the robot. Dense metal bullets hit the warrior's shield and were ricocheted off by the shield. The warrior curled up, feeling the impact from the shield, and his mood was calm.

This feels like facing a junior archer, on the battlefield, it is like cannon fodder, but the attack distance and attack frequency are not as high as these robots.

The wooded area is not suitable for the combat of the robots, and most of the metal projectiles of the robots in the distance are blocked by the trees, and they cannot form an effective attack. These mercenaries are all veterans, with rich training experience and actual combat experience, and they can block the narrow attack channel with a few shields.

A high-quality shield, after being infused with battle qi, has no lower defensive power than a metal shield, and has good portability, so high-level warriors will have one.

The robots in the distance saw that the bullet attack was ineffective, and rushed up with all their weapons in hand-to-hand combat.

Elena calmly unleashed her magic, while the rest of the group watched the whole time.

Ding Ding ......

The ice pick hits the robot's joints, and the robot's joints freeze, and when it runs at high speed, it hears a clicking sound inside, and then rolls to the ground.

The first ten metal robots to approach had all been dropped to the ground, some with a few arrows stuck in their faces, some with their legs blown off, and some with their heads cut off by the Wind Blade.

Yelena summoned a puppet and rushed forward, fighting the robot in hand-to-hand combat, the puppet's body was quickly cut with dozens of huge wounds, but it hugged a robot, the robot quickly petrified, and then was shattered in the chest by its punch.

The Eye of the Frost Giant was lowered, Xia He made a move, and the last four robots were hit by the freezing ray, and the magic of up to level 20 dealt with the miscellaneous soldiers, and the robots froze instantly, Xia He leaned forward and included the frozen four robots in his badge.

Most of the robots lying on the ground are not dead, but have lost their ability to fight.

"Elena, you're in charge of guarding. Xia He let the Frost Giant's Eye hover above Yelena's head, beckoned the others to come over, cleared the ground, immobilized the limbs of a mech-looking robot, and took out a metal orb.
