Chapter 404 Behind Is Valuvana

On the Valois side, some mages hid their identities and mixed into the army, while others acted openly and were treated as "guests of honor" by the commander.

In the command post on the high ground, the general and his subordinates looked forward to the return of the mages from the sky. The mages took off their gray-blue concealment robes, reported what they saw, and corrected the enemy's deployment on the map. Scouts are familiar with battle formations, but their ability to explore the rear is limited. Mages do not have a thorough grasp of military affairs, but they can observe from a high position after flying, and the two complement each other.

But the mage frowned: "I met the mages of the Empire in the sky, and I have to retreat next."

But there are still places that have not been explored clearly, and the general tentatively said: "Can you ask the master to take another look?"

The mage refused. On the one hand, there are more mages on the other side, and he does not want to take risks again. On the other hand, the Empire has weapons that temporarily prohibit magic, and the mage is unwilling to take risks again.

"Please don't worry, General. We have another powerful weapon that will be deployed experimentally on the battlefield."

As if to verify the wizard's words, there was a sudden vibration from the hillside behind the battlefield. The ground shook, the earth and rocks collapsed, and a huge human figure appeared in the rolling smoke and dust, standing up slowly and heavily.

"What is that?!" Both sides were shocked by the giant that suddenly joined the battlefield.

Eighteen meters, which is the height of a five- or six-story building. However, when such a tall humanoid machine appeared on the battlefield, the oppression of the enemy and the encouragement of the own side were both significant.

Compared to the first generation that Rorschach saw, this huge alchemist was closer to actual combat use. It no longer had gorgeous decorations and imitated the shape of classical armor, but was replaced by a durable and simple shape. For example, the head became an inverted bucket, and the front of the chest power reactor was also reinforced with armor.

It squatted with power, then jumped, and directly jumped over its own triple line and jumped into the middle of the battlefield. The heavy grinding sound of the machine and the cheers from Valois mixed together.

"Stop this monster! All guns aim!" The "giant" immediately attracted all the firepower, and the imperial army's artillery turned its guns to bombard.

Richard used a telescope to observe the situation and found that the giant construct had deployed a shield condensed by magic power, and it lasted for a long time.

Normally, shields have their limits. Individual spellcasters should be broken in an instant when facing the concentrated attack of the current firepower, and collective spellcasting cannot withstand it like this construct.

"Is it the bottom of the Valois wizard's box?" Colleagues in the spellcaster's army were also observing the "big surprise" presented by the kingdom wizard.

The giant advanced under the artillery fire, and the shadow had already pressed on the infantry on the front line of the imperial army. Just a powerful step brought great panic. Even the well-trained war horses were startled and cried and moved.

At this point, the imperial side's magic-banning weapons had to be unveiled, the thick clouds dispersed, and five airships appeared out of thin air on the battlefield!

The magician at the command post of the Valois side also widened his eyes, because he did not find the group of sky beasts in the clouds just now, so there are only two possibilities:

The Empire's airships took great risks to shut down the magic devices on all facilities and stand by; there are magicians with extremely high illusion skills on the airships.

In fact, both are true. Among the cluster of Empire airships, only one carries the magic-forbidden device, and the other four are bombing boats carrying a large amount of ammunition. They flew directly to the enemy camp from the moment they appeared. Even if they exploded, they could cause great damage to the Valois army.

As for the "magic-forbidden device ship" that stayed behind, because it needed to be constantly charged, there were spellcasters collectively casting spells to suppress the leakage of the magic aura of the device and drive the clouds to cover the airship.

When the Valois wizard who was investigating was about to approach, the Empire spellcaster drove the opponent away.

Now to deal with the "giant" construct, they activated the magic-forbidden weapon.

A thick beam of light descended, and a tsunami of magic swept across the entire venue. The shield of the construct was visibly dispersed by the invisible waves, but it only paused for a moment, and steam began to gushed out of its pores and continued to trample on the imperial array.

The mage in the command post of the Valois National Guard observed the situation, and at the same time felt the discomfort brought by the forbidden magic tsunami. At this time, a member of the Alchemy Department of the Starry Tower appeared, and he said to the commander: "General, order a charge! Counterattack!"

The mage from the Alchemy Department introduced that the 18-meter humanoid construct was originally a cover, and the Alchemy Department has not yet found a model to play its war value.

"But it is cool enough, enough to scare the enemy from the bottom of their hearts. They will take the initiative to activate the forbidden magic weapons and give the decision-making power of the battlefield to ordinary people, to you. According to the data obtained from the Battle of Andorella, there will be no magic on the battlefield in the next six minutes."

The construct can still move, because the steam engine in its body has started, and it can only move forward blindly and rush around. However, after losing the protection of the shield, the shells began to destroy its armor and joints.

The built-in transmutation dust extractor began to break down, and the giant fell!

However, the Valois army was not discouraged by this. Everyone had already grasped their weapons and waited for orders. The front-line commander drew his sword, raised his hat, and shouted "Long live the nation! Long live Valois! Behind us is Valois!"

This slogan was passed from one battalion to the next, until it resounded throughout the battlefield, and the sans-culottes began to charge under the artillery and bombardment of the strongest army on the continent.

The "giant" that came on the field at the beginning also played a huge role. It attracted all the firepower of the imperial artillery positions in the early stage. Faced with the fierce charge, the imperial artillery was already a fatal beat late in turning the muzzle and reloading.

The infantry on the first line of the empire set up their guns and began to shoot. Under the double blow of bullets and airship bombing, the charging Valois National Guard consciously formed a more dispersed column. The enemy's projectiles knocked down the front, and the second fearless soldier immediately filled in, until he approached the surprised and terrified imperial man and fired a fatal blow at a distance that did not require archery.

The empire's cavalry also launched a charge, trying to attack the infantry of the Valois side from the flank. But it was the fierce artillery bombardment of the Valois side that greeted the cavalry. The last advantage of the kingdom that has been preserved since the time of the King of the Sun has emerged-artillery! In addition, the artillery positions of the defenders occupied the high point and successfully dealt a head-on blow to the imperial cavalry.

"Reload! Follow up!" Pascal was dizzy from the magic tsunami, but Paul's eyes were bloodshot and he was extremely excited. It was clearly his first time to participate in the battle, but except for the first test shot, all the shots were accurate.

Suddenly Paul stopped the bombardment, and just when Pascal could breathe a sigh of relief, Paul shouted with a telescope: "Everyone adjust your position with me!"

Including Pascal, no one else knew what was wrong with this little soldier.

Paul shouted anxiously: "There is a well-equipped cavalry reserve behind the northeastern front! They must be elite, hit them hard!"

Paul saw a cavalry team on standby, all of them were wearing white robes, and they looked like young talents, no doubt.

In fact, it was not only the knights who had horses in the imperial army, he saw the mage group where Richard was.
