Chapter 37: Ambush
The Great Forest of the Demon Domain covers the sky, and even the light in the woods during the day looks very dim.
A one-horned panther carefully hid in a large tree and swallowed a hare-like animal in front of it in two or three.
Hegel is a one-horned panther who knows how to enjoy food, and if he is in normal times, he will definitely chew his prey slowly and enjoy the deliciousness of food.
But now, he is not in the mood at all.
Hegel really didn't expect that His Royal Highness Argos, the king of the dragon, who had always been a great and invincible existence in his mind, would be killed by that group of hateful outsiders.
When Argos launched an attack on the swift robot, Hegel did not follow too closely in order to avoid being affected, but watched from a distance.
At first, Argos's attacks were very sharp, and the black bugs were simply vulnerable to the great king.
Hegel felt that this was the way it should be.
However, what happened next was much more than he expected.
First, a black mist-like existence surrounded His Highness Argos, then several white pillars of light, and then, the Great King was defeated.
Hegel didn't see what happened to His Highness Argos, but he thought that he was eaten by the black worms.
Hegel shuddered at the thought of this. Even the great dragon Argos was murdered, and those black bugs were terrible.
Hegel no longer wanted to regain his territory, he just wanted to hide far away. He was now fleeing into the depths of the Great Forest of the Demon Domain, and the further he went, the more powerful the types of demonic beasts became.
A sixth-level demonic beast like Hegel can still dominate the northern part of the Argos Grand Canyon, but when you get here, you can only be a leopard with your tail between your legs. Of course, life was not as comfortable as it used to be, but Hegel made up his mind that he would rather be a leopard here forever with his tail between his legs than go back to the north of the Grand Canyon of Argos......
............
The conquest corps of the Bernard Kingdom set out as scheduled.
With a burly rhinoceros beast more than three meters tall under his crotch, a fine armor covering his whole body, and a spear of nearly ten meters in his hand, Bivis looked majestic and majestic.
As the chief of the Bernard's Knights, the kingdom's most elite legion, Bevis has his pride, not only because he is a member of the royal family of the Bernard Kingdom and the youngest count in the kingdom, but also because of his status as an eighth-level warrior - the only eighth-level warrior in the kingdom.
Cultivating to the point of an eighth-level martial artist before the age of fifty, even if you look at the entire Limek Continent, this is enough to be proud of.
This time, the three elite regiments of the kingdom, the Bernard Knights, the Claude Knights, and the Ulu Infantry Brigade, were dispatched at the same time, and in fact, they were led by the Bernard Knights. Beavis was personally appointed by His Majesty the King as commander-in-chief of the operation.
As a member of the royal family, Beavis is not a person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and before leaving, he had already mobilized all kinds of information at hand and asked many relevant people to investigate the strength of the target of this expedition - the Steinbo puppeteer.
Intelligence shows that the puppeteer is very powerful, and his command may have up to thousands of mechanical golems. That's an amazing amount. You must know that before this, the recorded puppeteers on the mainland could only control nearly a thousand mechanical puppets at most.
If these words came from someone else's mouth, Bivis would not have believed them. But his own niece, Princess Angela, also said the same.
Angela's surname, Bivis simply knows too well, it will never lie. Of course, Angela's real purpose in telling the strength of that pariah is ridiculous, it is to hope that he, who is an uncle, will be able to retreat from the difficulties and not use troops against that puppet master without authorization.
Thinking about Angela's anxious expression at the time, a loving smile appeared on the corner of Bivis's mouth. For this niece of his own, Bivis is full of love. It's just that sometimes this niece's idea is too naïve.
Thousands of mechanical golems are indeed a very powerful force - although most of those mechanical golems are only level 1 combat power. Originally, according to Angela's meaning, it was good to recruit for the kingdom, but I heard that the puppeteer was only about twenty years old, and when the time came, he could use the resources of the kingdom to cultivate it, and maybe he could have a lot of development potential.
It's a pity that the arrogant Stembo people have offended almost all the nobles of the kingdom. In this way, it is almost impossible for him to become a friend of the kingdom.
If you can't use it for me, you must destroy it! The more potential the other party has, the more you must eliminate it in infancy. This is Beavis's philosophy of life.
As for the strength of the opponent's thousands of first-level mechanical puppets, they are definitely not the opponents of the three major legions of the kingdom.
Thinking of this, Bivis made up his mind that he would not give the puppeteer any chance to escape, and that he would kill him with one blow.
"Order the Claude Knights and the Ulu Infantry Brigade to speed up their march, and that there is another thirty or forty miles ahead of us to Victoria, and we will try to reach Victoria before dark. ”
"Yes, Master Chief!"
Receiving the order, all the fighters cheered.
It has been five days since the departure from the royal capital of Arus, and even the warriors have already arrived tired, let alone ordinary warriors.
Rush to Victoria before dark, and everyone knows what that means. The Earl of Bevis was known for his generosity to his warriors, and the warmth of the girls of Victoria was well known, and it was believed that an evening here would be a wonderful one.
The Bernard Knights and the Claude Knights each have five thousand cavalry, each of which can reach the strength of a second-level martial artist, and even hundreds of them have obtained the third-level martial artist certification, and more than a hundred have obtained the fourth-level martial artist certification.
This powerful force is the elite of the Bernard Kingdom.
Behind these two knights was a brigade of Ulu infantry of twenty thousand men.
The abundant aura of the Limec continent made the young men look burly and majestic, like sturdy bears. The Ulu Infantry Brigade is the guard of the royal capital, and the soldiers are selected from hundreds of millions of people, and they can reach a height of about two meters if they pull out any one, plus a suit of armor, as well as a weapon and axe, which is extremely majestic.
The procession, which stretched for several miles, was enthusiastic and marching, when suddenly the ground shook, and countless huge black insects cut through the ground and burrowed out from under the ground.
"Ahh
"What kind of monster is this!"
"Demon worms?"
"Ahh
A terrible scream rang out, and the entire marching party immediately became chaotic like boiling water.
In an instant, the army of 30,000 humans had all been sunk into a sea of black bugs.
The perverted production speed and cheap production cost allowed Zhang Feng to accumulate the number of mechanical warriors under his command to as much as 100,000 during this period of time. Among them, the most basic combat class, the Swift Robot, alone accounts for more than half, reaching 70,000 people.
Other ranged mechanical units seem to have sharp attacks, but in large-scale legion battles, Zhang Feng always feels that the seemingly swift mechanical bug is the most suitable. As long as you charge through, you can crush the opponent to pieces. Therefore, the focus of his production is still on the speedy robotic bug.
It's not for nothing that the Velocidant Bug can become the most basic land class of the Atlanteans.
Besides, on the battlefield, the first human army to react was the elite of the two knight orders.
These 10,000 warriors, any one of them has second-level strength, and the war horses under the seat are all well-tamed Puma, and the knight's spear in his hand can cause great damage to the rapid mechanical insects.
Bivis, whose strength has reached level eight, is more like killing a god. Luck was vindictive, wrapped in a purple halo, and everywhere the knight's spear went, patches of swift mechanical insects were killed.
Even the burly rhinoceros beast under his crotch was a fourth-order demonic beast, trampled by four hooves, and the swift mechanical insect was killed instantly.
Suddenly, Bivas's eyes cracked!
"Protect the mage!"
However, it was too late.
Countless swift mechanical bugs suddenly came out of the ground, and the team of magicians was simply caught off guard.
The swift claws of the swift mechanical bugs swung their claws, and flesh and stumps flew everywhere they went.
Knowing the power of the magician, Zhang Feng deliberately took care of it when he arranged the ambush. In charge of dealing with the team of magicians, there are hundreds of more than 30 tiger striped mechanical insects and all third-level rapid mechanical insects, and there are also thousands of second-level rapid mechanical insects.
Once the power of a magician is exerted, it is definitely not comparable to a martial artist of the same level. But the weakness of magicians is equally obvious, that is, their ** is fragile, there are almost no means of close combat, once they are close, they can only be slaughtered.
A handful of high-level mages reacted quickly.
As a fourth-order magician, Benjamin is the squadron leader of the magician team. As soon as the demon worm appeared, he took out his staff and prepared to fight back. But they were embarrassed to find that the demon worms were already mixed with their companions.
If he attacked, it would not be the hateful bugs who would be the first to suffer, but his companions.
In the middle of this hesitation, the opportunity to attack has been missed. A large black bug more than three meters long next to him rushed over like lightning, and the thick pincers cut off Benjamin's waist at once, and then opened the metal mouth, clicked, and bit off his head. It's a pity that a fourth-level magician didn't even send out an attack spell before he died.
Almost with the power of thunder, swept away all the magicians.
Bevis watched the mages who were more precious to the kingdom than their eyes being slaughtered one by one, not to mention the distress.
