From the time the guards on the city wall noticed something strange to the time when the terrifying vehicle rushed through the passage of the city gate, it was only a little more than half an hourglass and round after round of artillery fire surrounded the city head, and the bunkers were destroyed one by one. The total number of destroyed and knocked down suspension bridges was less than four hourglass marks. At this time, only the mages and soldiers on duty could respond, but they had already suffered heavy losses in the first explosion.
Those strong fortresses that protected them in the past have become their coffins this time. The shells guided by the 'Enemy Defeator' penetrated the narrow window, and sent most of them to the god of death with a terrible storm of metal and flames. around.
For a person, half an hourglass can wake him up from his sleep, ask questions in a panic, hide in his home in fear, hoping that danger will not come, and finally start looking for a safe place, but for a city that has been at peace for a long time, half an hourglass can wake him up from his sleep. An hourglass is just enough time for it to wake up and start to react in a panic¡ª¡ª
A large number of city guards are beginning to be assembled, preparing to rush to the city wall to stand by. The city's external defense array has just begun to operate, and the knights of the guard who need to wear heavy armor, prepare horses and saddles must Even slower - even if there are two or three page boys and grooms to help them carry out this series of work, it is too hasty to assemble, not to mention that most of the knights have not thought that the battle situation has become critical enough to require when they appear.
Even if there are tens of thousands of enemy troops attacking the city, it will take at least several hourglasses to break through the city gates and seize the city walls, let alone get through these defenses. At least these troops have to be 'transformed' out of thin air in front of the city wall of Standria City? The thick and towering city wall formed an indelible sense of security in their hearts. No one would have thought that it could be broken through so easily.
so. It wasn't until the tanks rushed halfway through the Central Avenue that the fastest blockers finally arrived too late. Two to three hundred city guards stationed in the city. Amidst the officers' curses, they formed a formation in the middle of the road.
These unlucky guys were driven here by the communication magic coming from the city. They had no idea what they were going to face However, their steel tower shields and fifteen-foot-long spear poles had not had time to be erected. Formation, the terrifying monster had already appeared in their sights - along with the thick smoke and fire rising from the direction of the city gate, the huge crawler warehouse shattered the wide stone-paved streets of Standria City, the huge Apocalypse tank was attacking Targeting the city lord's fortress far in the center, charge all the way in an almost straight line!
The steam engine constructed by magic is far more efficient than the scientific version. The doors on the fire elemental plane provide a steady stream of surging energy, which is exposed in the gaps in the back half of the armor. The thick water vapor smoke screamed and mixed into the rumbling roar - installed in front of these huge tanks, the front-mounted crushers made of fine gold were consuming any obstacles, whether they were gravel, vehicles, horses, or There are occasional statues and fountains all of which are just snacks for this large winch that is nearly twenty feet long.
Driven by the hydraulic connection system, the nail teeth made of fine gold turned all the rocks and wood blocking the road into the tiniest powder. The harsh clicking sound was like a continuous high-pitched howl. The way Apocalypse moves is so unique that the flesh and blood bodies who are hurriedly lined up see him the moment they see him. They had completely forgotten their responsibilities and could only stand there sluggishly, shaking along with the ground.
When the ferocious steel monster, which was almost several times larger than the legendary dragon, finally appeared in front of them, the panicked Imperial people were blinded by the sparks that burst out when the rock shattered. The sharp metal grinding sound that was comparable to the cry of a banshee tore apart their spirits - it was one thing to face the charging heavy cavalry with a spear formation, but it was like blocking this metal house that seemed to be moving. , a monster with a huge mouth full of sharp fangs is another matter.
The soldiers almost did one thing in unison - looking back at their shields and spears The iron-covered wooden shields and the rumbling jagged fangs were simply not products of the same world. And the fifteen-foot-long wooden pole was like dead grass in front of the wind. As long as the monster bumped into it
No need to overly imagine. They made the right choice.
"Get back! Don't run! You damn pigs, ah! Ahhhhhh!"
The fleeing infantry made the knights who commanded them furious. They roared and tried to gather these men together - this was not one of those messy battlefields. But in the ¡®royal capital¡¯ of the new empire! Every move of all of them will be seen by the eyes on the mage tower, and for a commander, "defeating before fighting" is a crime that will result in being hanged and then covered with tar in public!
However, they soon discovered that being hanged was not the most terrifying thing
This is what they are facing.
"Boom!"
When the steel monster was at least one mile away from them, the terrifying sound had already shocked the surroundings, but several knights could no longer hear it - before the loud noise shook them, the strong wind pressure of the cannonballs had already killed them. He led the horse to push aside, and as the world was spinning, they each fell heavily from the horse to the ground!
The heavy armor became the biggest enemy. The impact of falling from the horse to the ground almost made the three people's eyes black. They had difficulty breathing. It was almost difficult to understand what they had encountered. They could only vaguely feel that something was happening around them. sway. When they looked up in confusion and noticed that the things being thrown around were the scattered pieces of flesh of their former companions and his mounts, the rumbling vibrations on the ground were already approaching them!
The steel monster's seemingly slow movements were actually an illusion caused by its huge body. They were able to run forty or even fifty miles with an hourglass, rushing past the three poor guys who couldn't even stand up, and it only cost them In the blink of an eye, the three former knights turned into flesh and blood sludge seeping out from both sides of the crusher like pouring, rendering the steel teeth an excited dark red.
The violence of the machine was outlined in blood. Several soldiers lying on the side of the alley felt the rumble and bone-shaking vibration of the tracks crushing the ground, and almost forgot to breathe
?Looking at the bright red blood on the metal crushers. The weird smell of human flesh being crushed and mixed with the soil passed through their nostrils, and their only reaction was to vomit inside the helmet. The little courage he had built up by driving away and beating civilians collapsed almost immediately, until the black figure walked away without looking back. They screamed, shook their limbs, and ran towards the empty alleys with gallbladder. These narrow roads of the untouchables who usually refused to enter were now like stairs to the Kingdom of God. As long as they passed through these narrow passages, at least they would be able to You can stay away from that monster!
"A bunch of trash!"
In mid-air, seven or eight empire mages were slowly floating upwards. What happened on the ground made the leader among them curse, "Get ready! Fossils turn to mud!" he ordered. He was the first to press down the staff, emitting a ray of yellow light that hit the road ahead! So the original blue stone bricks immediately softened and turned into pulpy mud! Then in a succession of yellow lights
Although the steel golem has an anti-magic force field around it and it drives forward on wheels, its body made of steel is obviously no different from an ordinary golem. As long as the road is turned into a swamp, this ghost thing will naturally You will be unable to move, and then as long as
The thoughts in my mind disappeared as soon as they appeared. In the astonished eyes of all the mages, the chariot made a depressing collision sound, but the huge wheels did not stop at all - some tenacious force held up the huge steel creation from the mud, allowing him to move a little. After the bump. After crossing the thick mud, while moving, they also turned around the huge turret. Shoot out a burst of fire!
A large and tall building in the field of vision was immediately shrouded in a sea of ??flames. It was once a backup gathering point for shooters. It was specially used to attack enemies who might enter the city, but now its towering shape has become the best target. The steel projectile pierced the platform surrounded by wooden planks, and the high-temperature flames and exploding metallic fluid detonated inside burned the dozen or so people inside into a large piece of stumps and rotten flesh that fell from the sky with the light of fire.
"What you bunch of third-rate guys can think of, can the boy who made this thing not think of it?" The cold snort made everyone turn their heads suddenly, and a dark red robe that appeared at an unknown time had already covered the whole place. Their eyes lit up! Thomas waved his hand casually as if he was complaining. On the fingertips of the four mages who had just raised them, the bright magic flames were all extinguished. Then the fourth-ring mage with the least ability among them suddenly screamed, and the magic robe on his body also expanded!
Several imperial mages were horrified. In just one breath, the companion's body had expanded seven or eight times, but a large piece of dark red blood spurted out from under his robe, like a waterfall!
But even if a person is cut in half horizontally, the blood cannot flow so fast! So fierce! The skin on this person's face shriveled immediately, turning into a dry, thick black color. The two eyeballs rolled out of their sockets and were pulled by the nerve bundles behind them, dangling on the face! But even so, he still doesn't seem to be dead, and is slowly reaching out his hands to pray for the rescue of his companions!
The sharp sound of tearing cloth woke up several dazed mages. They subconsciously wanted to fly away, but it was too late!
A layer of blood-red vines finally pierced the unlucky guy's bodyThe robe stretches outward like tentacles or a silk screen! However, the remaining plasma in it made people think of its true identity for a moment - it was a blood vessel in the human body! But no one can imagine how human blood vessels could be so long!
The mages who realized this had no way to escape. The blood vessels were like a net that swept them in. They seemed slender but were as tough as steel cables. Even if they struggled hard, they could not escape!
"This how can there be such a fast counterattack of spells? There are also seven-level necromancy spells, blood vessel stripping" The leading sixth-level mage's face had turned pale and transparent. He stared at the red-robed mage, almost I can't say anything - counterspell is the basis of battles between spellcasters. It recognizes the opponent's spell and then uses the same kind of spell energy to reverse it to cancel it, but that can only be used in one-on-one situations. This person in front of me But he counterattacked the spells of the four of them with a wave of his hand, and also used a seven-ring advanced undead spell.
Does time stop? But that is legendary magic, and only real magicians can master it
When this idea came up, they were no longer stunned. But it almost felt like my soul was about to burst.
"You actually mistake the eight-ring blood vines for the seven-ring It's only been more than thirty years, and the empire's mages have already fallen to this level?" The red-robed mage snorted coldly. He stretched out a staff and pointed it: "A bunch of trash, if it weren't for the shortage of people, you should be used as sacrifices. Forget it, now, go gather your companions and let them Stop causing trouble to the chariot team."
The network of blood vessels was loosened, but several mages each bent down to greet the red-robed mage. The expressions on their faces were already full of obedience and fanaticism.
Ignoring the mages who were scattering, Thomas's gaze passed over the twelve tanks that were scattering and ramming in the city These metal giants were walking through the streets at will. Looking for every place that can be called a target - towers, barracks, guard posts, and those soldiers and knights who have just gathered, using flames, explosions, and rain-like arrows to spread death and fear!
"The layout of the surrounding city walls is just a stagnant one. Once it breaks through a little, it will completely lose its effect and become a cage If you can't fight the enemy with the existing means, then use other methods" The master whispered. Said to himself: "This damn kid"
¡¡
Pushing the distance a few miles away, the same pair of eyes from above reflected the shadows of the running steel, and also uttered curse words¡ª¡ª
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The voice was loud, excited, and angry. Like a burning flame:
"Who can tell me how this thing got in! Where are the knights loyal to me? Where are the soldiers, and where are my mages!"
The young man standing at the window suddenly turned his head. The gorgeous scepter in his hand pointed at a group of figures standing silently and bowing their heads, and roared in a low voice: "You just let them rush into my country, my territory, my royal city! You let them arrogantly come here!" Burning, killing and looting! What did you promise when you asked me for military expenses? What did you say when you asked me for magic materials? Safety! Warriors in hundreds of battles! Stability! The magnificence of magic! Okay, now, you guys Where are these things I mentioned! Point them to me!"
The emperor's voice was trembling, causing several nobles who had just gathered around to hold their breath in fear The three leading Dukes and the two Imperial Electors were not in the city at all at the moment, and several officers in charge of city defense had already rushed there. In their own positions, idlers like them who are not responsible for any major affairs are actually meaningless. If someone is in a bad situation, they may become a tool for the Supreme to vent his anger. But fortunately, although this young monarch does He was not in a peaceful state of mind, but at least he could barely control his emotions - he snorted heavily, suppressed the curses, and his voice was as low as torn cloth: "How much damage will those things cause?"
"Please don't worry. Although these things are a bit difficult to deal with, their destructive power is limited after all. As long as enough mages are gathered" a gorgeously dressed mage said. He is also the only person here who is qualified to respond. But the young emperor immediately interrupted him:
¡°Isn¡¯t there any news about the Gaia Masters yet?¡±
"We have tried our best to contact the three masters, and also sent people to use teleportation"
"There are more than 12,000 troops gathered there, 15,000 orc slaves! 2,300 emperor-chosen knights and warlocks, and the portal has not been closed yet. How could you, how could you not even have any news? None of them were brought back!" The king's anger surged again, but he didn't say sternly: "?Where is their magic? Where are your tools? Or more simply, can't you send some people over to ask? "
The mage's face was cold. The emperor could think of these methods, and of course he could too - but facts have long proven that these methods are completely ineffective:
"You know, opening those portals has consumed all of our fifth-level spell slots and above, and the mages who still have spell slots have already headed towards Burgundy. Now we must have a complete day's rest before we can Can restore strength, but"
"But, but, but!" The emperor slapped the table hard: "That's enough! Just gather all the mages in the city for me. No matter what method you use, you must kill those damn ones for me. Iron box! I will use it to decorate the throne!"
"Well, it seems a bit difficult."
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but startled, and they looked in the direction of the sound - it was originally an empty corner of the small living room, but at this moment, there was a person sitting in that seat, minding his own business. Pick up a glass of wine on the table and sip it slowly.
"Those gadgets, although they don't look good, are actually mostly made of fine gold, plus the magic circle inside, and steam power and so on. I'm afraid you can't afford it."
He smiled at the emperor, showing his white teeth: "But if you really need it, you can consider it. You can parade on its barrel later, of course"
