Chapter 457 Iron and Steel

If the monster infantry can still use their bodies to slightly block the progress of the flesh turbine, then the obstacles caused by ordinary foot infantry will not be much higher than the barbed wire.

Whether it is ratmen or orcs, humans or elves, the difference in population cannot erase the original fear of creatures.

When all your attacks have no effect on the enemy.

The collapse of morale is inevitable.

The flesh turbine strode forward in a straight line, pointing directly at the bombardment artillery group behind the front line. The artillery group did not hesitate to project enough mass and heat to these monsters in the center of the front line.

Even though the number of friendly troops killed by the artillery group itself has a tendency to exceed the flesh turbine.

Occasionally deal with those small things that are crazy and hit themselves on the way... Because the recovery speed of small units is much faster than that of large units, they can't get too much biomass from these line-filling consumables.

The line-filling troops they killed are more of the troops that were corroded by heavy metal poison mist and couldn't help but commit suicide.

Only those line-filling troops blocking its path will be ruthlessly crushed, and the extended flesh tentacles quickly absorb the thrown biomass to repair their bodies and complete their growth.

Those heavy machinery, the boiling energy nurtured in them attracts them.

Since the birth of life, they have been thirsty for energy.

The elemental energy stored in those long-range heavy attack units is as bright as stars in the perception of the flesh turbine. Their hearts drive them to the direction of energy enrichment, which is better than letting them deal with the breathing biomass around them.

Then,

new light spots appear in their field of vision.

‘Arcane Mecha Construct’

‘The advanced construct equipped with the rune core coordination device has exchanged its crew characteristics with expensive cost, and has sufficient firepower and protection capabilities. ’

‘Cooperative core: This core is adjusted to assist the driver in control. With the joint assistance of many runes and magic technologies, the control reaction delay can be reduced to 0.5 seconds. ’

‘Action reaction speed is increased by 80%. ’

‘Drive a mecha: Each arcane mecha construct will be assigned a driver. The mecha’s ability is limited by the driver’s ability and will also be amplified by the driver’s ability... but it is already faster, more sensitive, and smarter than ordinary constructs. ’

‘Requires a driver, all attributes increased by 25%’

‘Arcane structure: This mecha has a set of long-range attack weapons built in for it, which can release miniaturized high-heat magic fireballs, and at the same time make its melee attacks carry corresponding fire element damage. ’

‘Ion fireball, 120 range, 300 weapon power. Melee attacks increase elemental damage by an additional 20%. ’

‘Precision, efficiency, perfection, let the arcane mecha troops clear all obstacles in front of you... if you don’t cry because of its cost. ’

His pride.

Zhang Ao watched as a six-meter-class medium-sized controllable arcane mechas loaded with drivers walked to the front line. Their heavy steps left deep marks on the ground, and the silver-white armor reflected the sun.

Six meters, two-story high mechas advanced along the ground, like a silver-white army formation lined up in the artillery group.

Each driver was carefully selected from the army and had both magic and warrior talents. Only with magic ability can they operate heavy armor with ease, and only with warrior ability can they be invincible in the front-line battles.

Ordinary constructs, even quite cruel wetware constructs, are not opponents of his troops.

Artificial intelligence is not as good as specially trained fighter pilots. Those machines that rely on programming to fight will be defeated by fighter pilots at a very fast speed... The delay of a few seconds when the constructs fight will become a fatal lifeline.

It is precisely with this special force obtained from the A-level mission world that he can become the leader of the Ring Island Alliance.

There is also a top pilot brought from the A-level mission world.

Then he used the resources obtained from the Ring Island Alliance to mass-produce this special construct force. After this force is built, it does not need to be iterated, and it can be used until the end of the sixth era with modifications.

Normal construct troops usually directly install rune cores as a substitute because of their reaction speed and high requirements for operators. (A certain dean who collapsed after walking two steps with a steam machine soldier.)

The ability to carry people makes it join the forefront of excellent constructs, and it is simple and strong.

Zhang Ao took a deep breath, looked at Audrey standing beside him and driving the mecha construct, and then focused on the flesh turbine that was charging and approaching while spewing scarlet smoke.

Those monsters are really terrible. If they hadn't encountered their main force, it is estimated that others would have suffered heavy losses here today.

He raised his head and looked at the fleet floating in the distance.

His A-level troops have arrived, and it is time to stop the reckless charge of these monsters, and your offensive will end here.

"Oh... Is that his special force... Interesting."

Ji Lin looked at the bipedal heavy constructs that walked out of the artillery line in the distance. Their design style was very different from the surrounding troops.

Under the silver-white heavy armor are limbs that use a lot of floating stones as support structures. The humanoid body makes it look more majestic and powerful as a human. The stream of light flashing from the surface of the structure from time to time proves that these walking armors are not just for show.

Compared with ordinary structures, they have another biggest difference...

Carrying people.

Those humanoid bipedal and quadrupedal structures are manned. Under the silver-white heavy armor engraved with azure lines, they are controlled and driven by drivers, converting rune cores into auxiliary cores for auxiliary combat.

Or? Mechas in the fifth era?

He was quite satisfied that the sixty disposable flesh turbines could force out the opponent's core troops. At this point, he had achieved his established goal of using flesh turbines to cause certain damage to the enemy.

This wave of attacks is enough to paralyze the opponent for a month, or even longer.

Then, let's see how long these flesh turbines can advance.

He waved his hand gently and issued the order to the twelve escort airships attached... He still brought a few weapons.

"Let the snipers get ready..."

The fleet opened the hatch, and a long-range 20mm anti-armor rifle was placed on the firing hole opened in the bulkhead, and the calibration and aiming work before firing was completed with the help of the telescope made in the territory.

The manufacturing requirements of the barrel of a barreled artillery are much higher than that of the barrel. The chamber pressure it needs to withstand and the demand for materials cannot tolerate any carelessness. The larger the caliber of the weapon, the more stringent the requirements for parts processing will be.

Even a little aftermath when firing is enough to directly break parts that are not hard enough.

Ji Lin does not have enough qualified advanced long-range artillery. The process of barreled artillery requires the establishment of a barrel factory and production line, and the employment of qualified and trained technical workers.

Production lines can no longer be mixed, and the production lines of infantry and support weapons can be pieced together to produce artillery.

So he chose to temporarily replace the expensive high-tech artillery with infantry weapons, and the ship-borne artillery was replaced with lighter, more ammunition-rich, and longer-range 80mm mortars (900 meters) and reloaded rockets (600 meters).

However, the range of these weapons is not as long as the anti-armor rifles that rely on inertial kinetic energy to cause sufficient damage at a distance of one kilometer.

If this weapon can still be called a rifle... even soldiers with purified blood need to use a shock-absorbing frame to connect to the inside of the airship before they dare to pull the trigger.

He is not here to do charity. These controllable mechas that look expensive must not be cheap to build.
