Chapter 23 The Great Defeat (1)
?Countless giants suddenly stood up on the mountain walls on both sides.《》.
It's said to be a giant, but it's actually about the same size as a mechanical puppet. Even from a distance, you can't see clearly what it is, so you can just lift up rocks and smash them down.
When the stone fell into the air, it began to burn, and exploded immediately when it hit the ground. Like powerful bombs, the flame explosion engulfed the ruins of the city wall almost instantly.
Although this kind of attack is violent, it has no effect at all in a short period of time against the staggeringly strong machine puppet, and the evil ghost hiding in the machine puppet is in a pure spiritual state.
Will be afraid of attacks of this physical nature.
But this attack is not without any effect.
The violent explosion directly blew the ruins of the city wall into a large crater.
No, it was not blown up, but once it exploded, the entire ruins suddenly collapsed and turned into a big pit, directly trapping all the machine puppets in the pit, including the poor quilter.
The stunned command mage.
The defending native soldiers on the second-level city wall suddenly retreated to both sides. As they withdrew, a row of characters wearing black robes appeared along the city wall. Even their heads and faces were hidden in the robes, so they could not be seen clearly.
What kind of guy are they? As soon as they stood out, there was a buzzing sound on the city wall, as if a swarm of wasps had flown up.
Following a vague buzzing sound, pure spiritual attacks invisible to the naked eye were launched at the machine puppet evil spirits trapped in the pit with unprecedented intensity.
The surface of the machine puppet is equipped with a magic circle that protects against spiritual attacks. This magic circle is simple and effective and was designed by Chengshi Company. The only drawback is that it cannot be maintained automatically for a long time and requires at least one mage to maintain appropriate magic power.
It's all about being active. Normally, the pre-stored mana can only support the operation of the magic circle three to five times. The number of times depends on the intensity of the attack.
To be honest, this kind of magic circle was specially customized by Yong Bowen at Chengshi Company. On the one hand, it was necessary to ensure that the evil ghosts could continue to fight when attacked by spirits, and also to ensure that if the evil ghosts launched a rebellion, the mage could quickly
It can be said that it takes a lot of effort to control the situation.
However, the problem now is that the only command mage in this army who can maintain this kind of formation has become dizzy.
Originally, according to the company's regular equipment, a team must have at least three to four human mages to ensure that such an accident would happen.
However, when Yang Zhenghua was planning this operation, in order to balance the distribution of benefits, he directly let each battle mage lead a separate unit, so that when looting, internal strife caused by uneven distribution could be avoided.
Now, this change has brought huge consequences.
The protective array on the machine puppet only lasted three times at most before it collapsed. The evil ghost hidden in the machine puppet was directly exposed to the enemy's attack.
No matter how powerful the evil ghost is, he cannot withstand such a strong attack on the spiritual level. This is why evil ghosts are the lowest existence in hell. Every hell native is born with a certain ability to attack at the spiritual level, and
Evil ghosts are the most fragile at the spiritual level, and any hell native, no matter how weak, can easily destroy the spirit of an evil ghost.
What's more, this time the enemy paid special attention to the attack force and used a race that was a trump card in terms of spiritual attacks. Even many high-level natives were unable to resist their spiritual attacks.
After the magic circle was cracked, all the evil ghosts hiding in the machine puppets of the entire army were wiped out with just one attack.
However, the attacking troops on the city wall did not stop, but continued to carry out ten consecutive attacks without stopping.
When the attack stopped, the entire canyon returned to deathly silence.
The city gate on the second city wall opened wide, and a large group of hell native soldiers rushed out with large and small materials. Soon, simple lifting machinery was erected on the edge of the large pit formed by the first city wall.
Lift up the machine puppets at the bottom of the pit one by one.
Each lifting machinery control team was followed by a person in black robes, who inspected and registered the hoisted machine puppets one by one. Therefore, the machine puppets that contained the command mage were picked out at the first opportunity, and were dispatched by a large team of people.
Escort into the city.
It didn't take long for all the machine puppets to be lifted out of the pit and transported into the city. The soldiers who completed the task quickly dismantled all the machines and retreated.
When the ruins of the first-level city wall returned to peace again, some indigenous people wearing gray coats stood on the second-level city wall and began to wave their arms and cast spells.
The rubble around and underneath the pit flew up and condensed under the control of the spell, and soon turned into a spectacular city wall.
The surface of this city wall is in tatters, and anyone who takes a quick look can tell that it is nothing more than mud, sand and grass.
But this was only temporary. The dust-choked natives continued to cast spells, and the mud and dust on the ground flew up and smeared on the surface of the city wall. It also squirmed and changed rapidly, forming a series of decent texture gaps.
In no more than twenty minutes at most, the collapsed city wall stood in its original position again, with extraordinary vigor. At first glance, it looked like an extremely solid and important offensive.
The giants at both ends of the mountain wall disappeared one after another.
After the first city wall was restored, the city gate was opened wide, and some indigenous people with fragile wings about the size of dogs flew out and quickly cleaned and organized the canyon passage.
When the 8014th Brigade of the 8th Detachment, which was following the 3009th Brigade, arrived at the entrance of the canyon, the entire canyon had been cleaned, and there was no trace of a brief but extremely fierce battle that had occurred.
After a brief observation, the command mage of the 8014 brigade made the same decision as the command mage of the 3009 brigade, and immediately began to attack. What was worse than the command mage of the 3009 brigade was that he did not even send an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the checkpoint.
, did not send evil spirits to conduct reconnaissance on both sides of the mountain wall, and just led the team into the canyon with such arrogance.
So the tragedy of the 3009 Brigade was repeated almost exactly the same. All the evil ghosts were destroyed by the spirit attack, and the commanding mage was stunned in the violent explosion and then captured alive.
This farce-like battle was repeated almost a dozen times, and it did not stop until the two armies met and reached the entrance of the canyon at the same time.
These two brigades belong to two different detachments respectively. Although they are all combat mages from the Mage Association, they often worked together in the same pot when they were in the Mage Association. After arriving at the Hell Colony Company, they usually did not look up to see each other, but
The word profit comes first, and everything else has to be temporarily put in the back of your mind.
The two commanding mages had a big fight over who would attack first, and each refused to give in.
In their view, whoever launches the attack first means whoever is the first to loot the city. For such a big city that they have seen for the first time since entering hell, even if it takes half an hour to loot, there is still a lot to be done.
The two command mages were arguing so much that they almost shook their fists at each other. However, before their argument could come to a conclusion, more and more troops began to arrive one after another, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in front of the entrance of the canyon.
As the old saying goes, these tens of thousands of people are all over the place, not to mention that the people coming here are all huge machine puppets. For a moment, the mountains and fields are really all over the place, boundless, and powerful like a rainbow...
