Chapter 0588: Fighting on the Mud Road
The large-scale group use of combat magic machinery has always been a huge problem that troubles the top leaders of the Crimson Family.
If all combat magic machinery uses the top alloys purified and quenched in the advanced alchemy laboratory, the cost of a single magic machinery will even be higher than the golems and constructs in the wizard world.
Therefore, in order to control costs, most combat magic machinery still uses ordinary alloys that have been simply smelted and purified. Only the energy center and energy circulation system in the body, as well as the magic weapon parts, use the latest magic iron alloy.
In order to solve this problem, in addition to the low-level magic machinery assembly factory in Gazlowe's huge metal body that continuously manufactures low-level magic machinery, a new magic machinery factory is being quietly built recently. This new magic machinery factory no longer builds low-level magic machinery like an assembly line, but gathers many new technologies, new materials, and new ideas to strive to build and modulate high-precision magic machinery warriors.
And the metal magic puppet that Grimm presided over and established the project is only part of the "Magic Machinery Warrior Project"!
The total number of combat magic machines assigned to Mary this time is 163, including 160 ordinary magic machines and 3 special models of "primary magic machine warriors".
These 3 "primary magic machine warriors" are also test machines. They were just prepared from the goblin laboratory and sent to this battlefield to test the practicality of their combat data and the feasibility of their design ideas through brutal actual combat.
From the mouths of those crazy goblin engineers, we can learn that these 3 "primary magic machine warriors" have their own cool nicknames in addition to the basic engineering code, namely: Goblin Repairer, Goblin Tearer and Goblin Man.
Well, when I heard this name for the first time, Mary had to sigh that there were almost no completely normal mental goblins who spent all day in the smelting workshop and engineering laboratory. It is a daydream to expect such a group of "crazy" scientists to come up with some elegant names.
However, although the name is vulgar, it is quite appropriate for several primary magic machine warriors.
Mary naturally brought these elite magic machines with her as bodyguards, while the rest of the magic machines became cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at any time.
There are several roads leading to the dragon camp. However, except for the 10-meter-wide mud road in front, the rest are rugged and muddy winding roads, which are not suitable for large dragons and magic machines to maneuver.
So the focus of the competition between the two sides was on the only entrance and exit.
Seeing that the other side was determined to defend the camp and would never come out easily, the magic machine army blocked the periphery under the command of the goblin technicians, and confronted the dragons across a large area of turbid and filthy stinking water. The 12 selected magic machines were arranged in a basic formation of 4 columns and 3 rows, slowly approaching the other side of the mud road.
There was no way, the mud road was only 10 meters, and the magic machines were all large. If they squeezed together, 4 magic machines could do it side by side, but then they could not fight normally. So they could only form a small attack queue with 3 machines in a row, a total of 4 rows, to move forward.
When they advanced to the center of the mud road, the two rows of woodcutters in front of them all put their huge metal shields to the ground and stopped moving forward. The two rows of magic machine shooters in the back stood cross-positioned and stretched out all the long-range fire ports on their bodies.
What is the other side trying to do?
The dragon warriors holding giant axes and holding on to the end of the mud road looked at each other, and couldn't understand what these moving metal giants wanted to do. Aren't they here to attack? Why didn't they leave halfway?
Just when the dragons were undecided whether to rush out to disperse them or continue to hold on in place, the four magic machine shooters occupying the center of the mud road suddenly exploded.
At this time, they were about 70 meters away from the dragon warriors at the end of the mud road, still within the effective killing range of the magic musket. Therefore, when the first wave of metal barrages hit the tall and proud dragon men like a storm, the opponent was instantly stunned.
As experienced dragon warriors, they have experienced all kinds of physical and magical attacks, but this is the first time they have experienced such a dense "throwing" attack.
This... is just like a rain of metal bullets!
Amid the loud metal collision sounds, there were also many dragons groaning in pain.
For a while, the dragon team guarding the end of the mud road was hit by the dense rain of bullets and fled in panic, almost unable to stand still.
There was no way. Although the dense scales and full sets of metal armor covered nearly 90% of the body of the dragon warriors, there was still about 10% of the body skin that was not protected. For example, the pupils, the throat, the ear canal, the armpits, the lower abdomen...
Usually, as long as they are properly covered, it is almost difficult for the enemy to attack these parts, so the dragons did not carefully design some special equipment to protect them.
However, at this moment, the four archer magic machines were frantically firing muskets, and the flying metal bullets caused considerable splash damage to the dragons. Either their eyes were blinded, or bullets hit their ears, or their armor was penetrated...
Because the dragons were standing too closely together, most of the direct bullets were bounced off by their armor or armor, and did not cause much damage. Instead, they hit their fellow dragons beside them, and the bounced bullets were more likely to cause splash damage.
Almost in an instant, a large number of wounded people appeared in the dragon team defending the front line.
The tiny metal bullet is not even a toothpick compared to the huge body of the dragon man. It is just like a mosquito bite. However, hundreds of mosquitoes are biting on his body, and all he hears is the strange crackling sound. Anyone who encounters it for the first time will be panicked and don't know what to do.
Experienced dragon warriors raised their arms covered with scales to cover their faces and used huge battle axes to block the weak links of the scales on their bodies. But how can they fight in this way?
The dragon captain who led the team stood up angrily, and the axe in his hand instantly burst into flames. With a soul-stirring war roar, it waved the flaming axe and rushed towards the magic machine in the mud road with earth-shaking steps.
It only took 6 seconds for the dragon captain who exerted violent power to charge over a distance of 70 meters, and the raised flaming axe even chopped the metal giant shield supported by the first row of magic machines.
With a violent bang, the metal shield instantly shattered into pieces, and the arms of the woodcutter supporting the shield also exploded into flying debris and countless metal parts on the spot.
The woodcutter, who could not bear the huge force and stumbled back, immediately crashed into the second batch of metal shields.
Behind him was the steel wall with no room for retreat, and in front of him was the violent and unmatched dragon man's huge force. The unfortunate woodcutter was caught between the two and exploded like a watermelon.
The dragon captain was indeed a powerful warrior of the first level elite. With a violent attack and his own fire power, he killed this enhanced woodcutter magic machine in seconds.
The metal shell on the surface of the body was full of cracks and holes, and electric sparks flashed inside the body. The woodcutter, whose torso was blown away by nearly 1/3 of the body, took two steps crooked and fell into the stinking pool and sank.
The dragon captain, who had made a great success with one strike, was instantly filled with fighting spirit. He stood up again, intending to continue to push the remaining iron lumps into the quagmire.
But he didn't know that his surging charge also exposed himself to the attack range of the archer phalanx behind him.
The next moment, the dense shooting sound like popping beans never stopped.
The dense barrage of bullets fired from the front 140-degree fan-shaped surface all hit his tall body.
Metal armor may have outstanding defense, and dragon scale armor may have outstanding resistance, but they all have their own defense limits. Once the dense attack exceeds this defense limit, the damage it brings is unimaginable.
The dragon warrior hiding in the back was still cheering and roaring for the dragon captain's strong outbreak, and the next moment he saw dense blood lines bursting out from his body, and his whole body was instantly beaten into a sieve by the terrifying barrage.
At this time, the dragon captain's front hoof, which was raised high, fell heavily.
Due to excessive force, hundreds of bright red blood fountains spurted out of the dragon captain's body, completely dyeing the land within a radius of five or six meters red.
After shaking for a while, the bloody dragon captain finally couldn't squeeze out a word from his dry throat. Three of his four amber eyes, two large and two small, were blinded. In the remaining one, the light of life was rapidly lost.
With a muffled sound, the dragon captain's body collapsed to the ground, and like the magic machine, he slid silently into the stinking pool. Only a series of bubbles and red blood lines remained on the surface of the pool...
The dragons who were cheering just now immediately became silent!
A powerful dragon captain was actually directly blown up by the enemy... Such a thing has never happened in the long history of war among the dragons.
In the Lance plane, except for the lofty dragon lord, the dragons are the most powerful warriors on the land of this plane. They are loyal, they are brave, they can fight one against a hundred, they are invincible...
However, at this moment, this golden signboard that was erected after countless bloody battles was smashed into powder by a group of cold and ruthless iron lumps.
The invincible image of the dragons became precarious.
This was a huge shock and a huge humiliation for the dragons!
The dragons in the entire dragon camp all had bloodshot eyes, roaring and waving their battle axes and rushed to the mud road.
Fight... Fight... Fight...
Wash the dragons' bodies with the blood of the enemy, and use the enemy's flesh and blood to commemorate the dead tribesmen.
All the dragons were furious!
However, at this moment, Mary, who was hiding in the group of magic machines, calmly issued multiple orders.
"Endor, immediately trigger the poisonous plague you set up..."
"Hummingbird One, throw the Destroyer immediately..."
"All archer magic weapons, immediately give me full firepower output..."
The bloody battle took place at both ends of the narrow mud road in an instant! chapter;
