With the appearance of the Harvest Golems on the battlefield, the situation has completely reversed.
The magic crystal cannon on the puppet's right arm fired a green chaotic energy bombardment. These energy groups ignored any armor and magic protection effects and easily penetrated the tank armor. Rows of steam tanks were destroyed on the battlefield like scrap metal— —This is the effect of Ashea-Hybrid Power (Copy Version).
Then the puppet array continued to advance forward, stepping over the burning wreckage, and the source energy engine made a thundering roar. The officers and soldiers calmed down from the initial panic, hurriedly formed their formations, set up magic cannons, and activated rune scroll tubes to counterattack;
As the volley of cannonballs and magic reached their heads, the slow-moving puppets seemed to be walking on their own feet. Air currents suddenly erupted from their feet and waists, and they instantly jumped into the air, accelerating forward and avoiding the bombardment. Originally still a few hundred yards away from the army's position, they were suddenly approaching - Garpini - Power of Flying (replica) came into play.
The officers and soldiers suddenly fell into chaos. The commander urgently ordered the battle mage to cast spells to attack, and the infantry used all magic bombs and armor-piercing rune guns. As the dense magic bullets hit them, some of the puppets were engulfed in flames, while others were frozen into big lumps of ice.
However, before the soldiers and mages could breathe a sigh of relief, those magical effects disappeared instantly, and each puppet broke through all kinds of magical obstacles without any damage; a translucent shield emerged around them, This is not a magical effect that absorbs or protects against damage. No matter how the military battle mages increased the effect and frequency of their attacks, the thin shield remained unmoved and completely unaffected. This is Steinberg - Spellbreaking Power (replica version), which is completely immune to magic damage and delay effects for a period of time.
Although the three replica effects are all activated in emergency mode, they consume a lot of energy and can only be activated for a few minutes in total. But it was obviously enough to tear apart the enemy's lines and break the will of the enemy soldiers.
After rushing into the enemy's position, the puppets transformed into real harvesters, just like their original function of harvesting wheat, easily cutting off the lives of the officers and soldiers piece by piece. The giant sickle saw shredded the soldiers and their armor like a meat grinder, and the source-powered mechanical arms lifted the cavalry and horses high into the air and smashed them into meat patties. Not to mention those battle mages with weak bodies and armors, who did not need to attack directly. The puppet jumped high and relied on the huge shock wave when it landed, shocking the nearby mages until they bled from their orifices and fell to death immediately.
The one-sided massacre - no, in view of what these people had done to prisoners and civilians before, "execution" is more appropriate - lasted for more than half an hour, and the position was littered with bloody corpses, fragments of tanks and armor, The loss of the puppet troops is 0.
Not only were the besieging troops outside the Dongchuan camp immediately liberated, but a large number of follow-up troops of the official army were also annihilated. The rest retreated in panic and fled towards Black Mountain Town and the Crossroads Fortress.
In the crater, Skaar struggled to look forward. The mechas that looked like heavenly soldiers were chasing the fleeing officers and soldiers. He tried to stand up, but failed; the wound on his leg was so deep that he could see the bone, and the bleeding made him weak and his vision blurred.
He was not even sure whether the heavenly soldiers suddenly descending in front of him were real or an illusion of his dying state.
A five-meter-tall harvesting puppet stopped in front, with smoke and dust billowing from its body due to the overheating of the magic circuit. The cockpit opened immediately, and a man wearing magic crystal goggles climbed out gracefully;
This person is none other than the deputy leader of the Austrian gang that Skarr has longed for.
Oster is still recalling the feeling of driving a Gundam; in one word, it was so exciting. At a glance, Skar fell to the ground in front of him, and the blood on his legs soaked his pants. He quickly ran over, held his shoulders, and used a flash of holy light to stop the bleeding, and said;
"I've told you more than a hundred times, Skar. The next time you encounter a hostage-taking situation, you will directly give the order to open fire. Afterwards, you will say that it was the red-haired villain who gave the order. This debt should be placed on the enemy. We cannot make our own people pay the price.”
Skar smiled weakly, "I understand, I will do it next time."
Oster shrugged with a "hum". Based on his understanding of this person, he must have just said it.
At the same time, the battle has come to an end. Because he didn't carry much fuel, Oster picked up the magic stone communicator and telegraphed the pilots to stop chasing the third runner-up, shrink their formation and withdraw, and come back to rescue the wounded first.
This time, Oster brought a total of twenty-seven harvesting puppets to the front line, and achieved such huge results. There will be about fifty to eighty more harvesting puppets that are being worked on and transported to the front line.
The remaining problem is still the lack of high-level magic materials above level five, especially high-quality source ore magic powder. This stuff is strictly controlled contraband. The amount smuggled underground is simply not enough to fill the teeth with military equipment. . Therefore, a large number of mechas could not be completed smoothly, and those that were activated could not be deployed for too long. This problem should be gradually solved as more towns are captured by the rebel army, which can be obtained from the official army warehouse.
After returning to the Dongxiang camp, Oster was naturally treated like a hero. He and the pilots were carried back to the camp headquarters without their feet touching the ground.
Because Skar was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, all matters were decided by Auster. After listening to a rough report for three hours and looking at five large boxes of Class A important documents, he felt bad. Not only did he basically not understand anything, he was confused, and he didn’t know where to start; he was not a leader at all, and he was already stretched thin in managing a stronghold with thousands of people, and commanding an army of tens of thousands and the entire rebel headquarters , it’s just nonsense;
Fortunately, he had a way of delegating power. He handed over high-level affairs to the hall master assembly, and handed over logistical matters to Keyes. Military command and the newly brought mecha troops were all given to Mordias. Various reports show that this dwarf is definitely capable of taking on this responsibility. Whether it is strategy or tactics, he can consider everything carefully, be careful and bold, and have the style of a general.
Of course, the only drawback is still being too unconfident. After the meeting, Mordias found Oster again, hoping that the deputy gang leader would teach him some secrets of large-scale battles on the plains. In several battles, the rebels failed to take advantage of the experienced Kingdom Corps. .
Oster suddenly became very nervous. If his fans found out the true identity of the idiot, he would lose face greatly. Then he coughed and pretended to be deep and said;
"Xiao Mo, haven't I told you never to be superstitious about anyone? I am not omnipotent, and my understanding of the situation in Dongxiang and the headquarters' military strength is far less than yours. If there is a secret, it is to proceed from all realities. Stick to rules and regulations, not be superstitious about tactics, make adjustments flexibly, and take things by surprise.”
Auster made a draft using the SaShu interface and read it out. Taking a peek, Mordias looked like he suddenly understood, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, Mordias practically lived in the puppet warehouse, communicating repeatedly with technicians to test and record the performance of the mecha. Then based on the capabilities and characteristics of these new equipment, tactics suitable for their actions were created. Of course, Oster didn't have to worry about these things at all. He basically slept in the battalion headquarters every day and didn't wake up until the afternoon.
