Chapter 42: Midnight
"Boom, haha."
"I didn't expect anyone to dare to take the initiative to trouble our mechanical mission, the kid below, you are quite kind, and you have the ability to come up."
"Keep fighting, I'm going to see how long his broken cover lasts."
On the west side of the outer city, a metal city wall full of science and technology stands in a medieval complex of red tiles and white walls, and the sense of disobedience is simply bursting.
On the city wall, more than a dozen contractors were manipulating the technological weapons in their hands, shouting excitedly while bombarding the knights below, and the electronic eyes flashing red were particularly obvious in the fireworks that burst into flames when howitzers, heavy machine guns, and sniper guns were fired.
There are many traces of mechanical transformation on the bodies of these contractors, whether they are mechanical hands, or mechanical eyes, but the same thing is that these people all show a flush of excitement when the various weapons in their hands roar.
Under the metal walls, the knights were almost unable to advance by the exaggerated firepower of the other party, and although the priests in the team were still struggling to support themselves, the energy shield above the crowd had begun to crumble a little.
Xu Yue looked up at the high wall looming in the bursting flames in front of him, his face was a little ugly, this was definitely the most troublesome stronghold he had encountered so far.
Three minutes ago, the Knights arrived at this stronghold, and the appearance of the stronghold was not much different from the previous ones, the same walled courtyard, the same red tile and white wall, but when the Knights had just unleashed the shield, a piercing alarm sounded.
Then the whole building began to unfold and deform, and in the mechanical friction sound of clicking, the otherwise ordinary fence wall was flipped over, and pieces of steel emerged from the inside of the wall, from the ground.
A few seconds later, in the bewildered eyes of everyone in the knights, a tall metal city wall suddenly appeared in front of them, Xu Yue immediately ordered to throw a spear, but after a wave of short spears were thrown, there were not too many pits on the metal city wall, and the hardness of this thing was far beyond imagination.
Runner guns began to emerge from the metal walls, and many contractors with various weapons appeared on the walls.
The next moment, a rain of bullets and long-range bombardment fell from below, and continued for three minutes continuously.
In these three minutes, all the members of the knights were firmly pressed under the defensive shield, not daring to take the lead, once the energy shield was unlocked, under such firepower, except for Xu Yue and Mandel and a few others, it was difficult for the rest of the knights to survive.
The originally good encirclement and suppression war turned into a siege war in an instant, which is the terrible thing about the mechanical contractor after the group, far more than the effect of 1+1>2, but although the mechanical system has strong combat power in the early stage and has many methods, it will be weak in the later stage.
"Chief Flame, whether to retreat first, and then deal with this stronghold, the priests can't hold it for long."
Mandel's exhortation sounded in his ears, and Xu Yue turned his head to see that the ten priests in the team were now bleeding from the corners of their mouths.
Now evacuation is indeed the best solution, under the condescending bombardment of the opponent, the knights of dozens of people are difficult to even get close to the city wall.
However, after the idea of retreating flashed in Xu Yue's mind for a moment, he was immediately abandoned, his task this time was to clean up the entire imperial capital, among which there were definitely not a few strange contractors.
The stronghold in front of you is definitely not a special case, and now that you have retreated, will it be difficult to keep retreating when you encounter more difficult bones to gnaw in the future?
And it's not that there is no way at all, it's just to take a little risk, since the knights can't rush through as a whole, then he will go alone.
Xu Yue pulled Mandel and whispered a few words about his plan, and Mandel hesitated for a moment but agreed.
Xu Yue then took out a large amount of ordinary metal from the space, and then began to summon the flames and melt them, and after a while, three large spears and several heavy shields were successfully cast.
The bombardment on the battlefield continued, but the formation of the Knights had quietly changed, but under the shield and the flames from the explosion, the contractors above did not notice much of an anomaly.
Finally, after another minute of artillery fire, the Knights' defensive shield finally broke down and the pale blue light shield disappeared, which quickly attracted the attention of the attackers on the city walls.
"Haha, the turtle shell is broken, increase the firepower."
"Quick, bomb them to slag, Lao Tzu's Italian cannon, drag them over."
It was found that the defensive shield disappeared, and the attack on the city wall became more violent, but it did not cause effective casualties, and the incoming ammunition was blocked by the heavy shields erected on one side, and the durability of the heavy shields dropped rapidly in the clanging metal knocks and explosions, but it was not a problem to resist for a minute or two for the time being.
"Shengyao!!"
The defensive shield did not need to be maintained, and the priests in the team also had their hands free, and in the midst of the ten priests shouting in unison, an incomparably bright holy light exploded in front of the city wall, and the dazzling light made the entire isolation shield turn into a white appearance.
"The enemy is driving bigger, pay attention to vigilance, and don't stop attacking!"
The sudden burst of bright light was like a super-large flashbang, and it was the kind that kept flashing, and everyone on the city wall only felt that there was incandescent in front of them, except for a few with mechanical eyes, most of the rest could continue to aim at the target with the assistance of the brain.
At this moment, the heavy shield wall of the knights below began to quietly move a gap, and with Mandel's hard throw, a huge spear covered with holy light shot out, and under the cover of the brilliant light, the spear pierced the scattered artillery fire and ammunition along the way, and approached the top of the city wall at a rapid speed.
"Enemy ranged weapons, it's too late to intercept, flash!"
Zhi Brain quickly calculated the landing point of the spear, and under the command of the commander, everyone in the mechanical mission dodged one after another.
"Dang!"
The giant spear, blessed with its outer light, plunged straight into the top of the wall, but it did not cause any casualties.
At this time, the holy light shining under the city wall also disappeared, and a set of combos came down, except for a spear pierced on the city wall, the entire battle situation did not change
"This one on the other side is so anticlimactic, what is this thing, bomb?"
The contractors looked at the spear in the middle of the crowd, which looked like an ordinary spear, and the results of the investigation were no different from anything other than the larger one.
But what the enemy sends with great fanfare can't be so simple, if you want to attack, you're afraid that you will blow this thing up.
"Don't attack indiscriminately, pull this thing out and throw it away."
The voice of command came from the headset again, and a bald man with large mechanical arms in both hands stepped forward, stretched one of the mechanical arms, and then held the giant spear.
"Look at you one or two, I'll come."
As soon as the mechanical arm held the spear, a slight tremor sensation spread from the spear to the whole body, and the bald man exclaimed in surprise and was about to let go.
"Not good, there is ......"
"Boom!!"
But before the palm of his hand could be released, the spear in front of him exploded, and countless sharp metal fragments flew in all directions, and the bald head not far away was directly pierced into a sieve by the fragments.
At the same time as the metal fragments exploded, boiling purple flames erupted from the spear, and the inside of the spear seemed to be filled with this strange flame, and at the same time as the shell exploded, like a dam bursting, the flames gushed out like a flood, enveloping all the contractors on the city wall.
"Flames, run!"
"Wait, don't panic, this thing doesn't seem to have temperature."
Everyone panicked at first, but quickly calmed down again, but the speed of moving away from their feet did not stop, and although the thing did not feel the hot temperature, it was certainly not a harmless thing.
But as soon as everyone ran a few steps, before they could escape the range of the fire, they noticed something unusual, and one after another exclamations rang out.
"My leg is short-circuited, the metal is broken, this thing can melt the metal!"
"Gan, my eyes, get out of here."
In the chaos, everyone fled the fire in embarrassment, and many people crawled out with their hands because of the damage to their mechanical legs.
In just a few seconds in the fire, the mechanical components on their bodies were damaged to varying degrees, all the metal that was not hard enough was melted, and the metal weapons in their hands also failed.
"I was told to come up, right, I'm here."
When everyone looked at the raging flames in front of them in horror, a cold voice sounded in the center of the fire.
