Chapter Ninety-Three: The Epitaph of the Noble

On the sixth day, the hard work paid off, and the emergency mode code was finally found. As the core problem was attacked, the mecha golem quickly moved. Although the three major abilities still cannot be used for the whole process, and can only be turned on for a few minutes in emergency mode with huge energy consumption, in actual combat, it is basically enough.

At this time, I received a secret letter from Skar, and the situation in Dongxiang has reached the point where there is no time to delay. The regular corps was dispatched again, and joined forces with the county government guards and the anti-water bandit army to flank the main force of the rebel army;

In several battles on the Plains, the rebels were defeated due to a lack of heavy equipment to fight the enemy's steam tanks and battle mages. At present, the front has retreated to the area around the Dongxiang battalion headquarters, and it is only a matter of a day or two before the total fall is completed, and Skar is already stepping up the evacuation and transfer of migrant workers and civilians near the base area.

After receiving the battle report, Oster didn't bother to find the base traitors, and used the existing materials to rush the core and activate a group of puppets. Cover them with camouflage curtains and load them into magic stone trucks, send them out of the base at night, and personally lead the escort team to escort them to the front line in disguise.

He silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the main force would hold out until he arrived.

……

Three days later, on the battlefield of Dongxiang, nearly a thousand miles away, the two armies were facing off nervously.

The rebels planted a large number of seismographic bombs in front of the camp, which were currently the only effective weapon against the steam tanks. In addition, under the command of Modias, the rebel soldiers no longer dug trenches and directly confronted the enemy's tanks and heavy cavalry, but relied on underground fortifications and strong fortresses to organize in-depth defenses, waiting for the opponent's armored impact and large-scale magical bombardment to end, and then carried out surprise counterattacks from the flanks and rear, and achieved certain results;

Relying on correct tactics to avoid the enemy's edge, he has been pulling with several times the enemy for more than a month. After many battles, Modias's command skills were unanimously recognized by the whole army, and he was promoted to commander-in-chief of the former enemy by Scalar.

However, although this method of warfare can effectively reduce casualties and deplete the enemy's vital forces, it also has a fatal drawback. That is, the front line has been constantly retreating, after a large area of base land has fallen into the hands of the enemy, fields, mines, and workshops have been repeatedly ravaged and destroyed, and the supply of food, ammunition, and troops to the rebel army has been interrupted for a long time.

Now, in the face of the enemy's continuous counterattack, the isolated rebels have retreated to the periphery of the battalion headquarters. Behind him, the Dongxiang camp stored all the remaining supplies, food, and spell casting materials of the rebels, as well as the vital magic equipment processing plant and source ore refining facilities, and more importantly, thousands of civilians who had been evacuated from the base area; There was no way back, and Modias had to order a battle to the death.

The soldiers cleared the wilderness, dug fortifications, and laid rune mines. Trying to avoid without fighting, drag until the enemy is undersupplied and the energy-hungry heavy magic equipment begins to retreat, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

However, the enemy was also aware of the intentions of the rebels. In front of the position, the officers and soldiers who besieged the camp once again showed their best tricks; They pushed a large number of captured rebel soldiers and civilians captured nearby to the front and executed them in front of the wall. To add to the deterrent effect, the accompanying battle mages used magic to burn captives alive or freeze them to pieces. For a while, the wailing was endless, like hell on earth;

Seeing the unscrupulous evil deeds of the officials and soldiers, the soldiers of the righteous army in the village were all extremely angry, but there was nothing they could do. Knowing that the other party planned to force the rebels to fight and trap the main force of the rebels, it was impossible not to save so many comrades-in-arms and innocent people.

Skal hesitated, but ordered the Rune Lance to attack. After the gunners sniped out several battle mages from a distance, the other enemy soldiers immediately ducked behind the captives and used them as shields. The soldiers had no choice but to jump on their horses and cross the defensive line to attack the officers.

After repelling the advance of the officers and soldiers and rescuing the prisoners, the soldiers prepared to retreat, however, a large number of steam tanks of the officers and soldiers who had been prepared for a long time drove out of the forest and cut off the retreat.

The warriors of the Rune Gun Corps were surrounded by regiments and could only defend on the spot. But there are not even many bunkers in Shinagawa, and the rune guns or light spell scrolls carried by the cavalry cannot penetrate the tank enchanted armor; Fighters were constantly killed by hits, and blood stained the ground red.

This simple stratagem has been tried and tested because the enemy has been determined, and they are dealing with good people;

Meanness is a pass, nobility is an epitaph. The invincibility of the popular side only exists in fairy tales, and it is the norm for shameless people to be stronger, easier, and live longer than honest and good people. After all, bad people have no scruples and can do whatever they want, while good people have to be controlled by others.

Taking the situation on the battlefield in Dongxiang as an example, before the rebels launched an attack and mass destruction magic, they would notify in advance or wait for civilians to evacuate, which often gave the officers and soldiers a chance to breathe; On the side of the official army, they wished that those hillbillies would go to the sky with the rebels, and they could rob their land and property by the way.

Seeing that the rune spear team was in a desperate situation, Skar couldn't sit still, and immediately mounted his horse with a gun and personally led a cavalry to support. Armed with mortars and heavy magic grenades, they fought their way through the tank array. In order to ensure the armor-piercing effect, the fighters risked their lives to get close to the tank and throw seismological bombs. Some fighters were seriously wounded by machine guns or crossbowmen on tanks, but still threw bombs in their hands; Some fell from their horses, facing the tracks of the tank that pressed over, and did not hesitate to pull the reel and die with the other party.

Skar took the lead, swooping left and right in front of the battle, leading the retreat of the fighters and civilians on the front line. Soon, he was targeted by the enemy forces, concentrating his fire and magic attacks. Skar realized this, but he looked at the soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties, and in a moment made the decision to rush into the enemy line and actively attract fire;

A seasoned cavalryman and marksman, Skar rode a fast horse and easily spotted and dodged enemy arrows and magic trails, drawing large numbers of enemy troops to one side. and frequently turned around and raised his gun to shoot, killing several outcropping battle mages in a row. However, although the enchanted chain mail he wears can effectively resist ordinary bullets or magic attacks, the war horse under his crotch does not wear heavy armor in order to ensure speed.

Eventually, the passing firestorm exploded violently, and the horse was affected by the shock, and Skar rolled over and fell from his horse. He tried to get up, only to find that one leg had been pierced by shrapnel and he was unable to move. Behind them, enemy tanks quickly caught up;

Immobilized, Skar pulled out his pistol and fired at the oncoming tank. Bullets of this caliber hit the hard deck and were ricocheted off one by one, to no avail. And the other party obviously wanted to execute the rebel leader in the most brutal way, and did not choose to shoot artillery or arrows, but drove straight up, and the huge tank tracks went straight to Scal.

Covered in wounds, Scar's face did not change, leaning on the dirt slope behind him, still holding his pistol, shooting in vain. With the clanging of ricocheting sounds, only the last round remained in the magazine.

He sighed, aimed at the front deck of the tank, and pulled the trigger. However, with this shot, the tank in front of him suddenly exploded.

It was as if it had been shattered by a heavy blow, and it disintegrated so completely; The entire turret flew high into the sky and fell into the distance for half a day.

Puzzled, Skar looked at the burning wreckage of the tank, then noticed movement in the other direction.

In the smoke, a mechanical giant more than five meters high, holding a cannon barrel in one hand and a scythe saw in the other, emerged. Black smoke was rising from the cannon hole in the giant's right arm. And then another...... Arrange in an array and move forward slowly;

The remaining officer tanks hurriedly turned their guns and tried to counterattack. However, the mechanical giants raised the huge barrels on their right arms, and their chambers gradually charged with a dark green light. Immediately, a rotating green ball of light shot out, slashing through the arc and hitting the steam tank on the opposite side; The armor of an enchanted tank, which can easily resist all kinds of attacks, is like papier-mâché, breaking at the touch of a touch, shattering at the touch, and being easily penetrated, destroyed, and exploded.

In the blink of an eye, the five or six steam tanks on the position did not even have time to react, and they were reduced to a pile of wreckage.
