Chapter 455 Offensive (2.8k)

The elites in the second line can take it easy, but we, the lords in the first line, have to take responsibility for ourselves.

The Ring Island Alliance provides us with benefits, and now is the time for us to sacrifice ourselves for these benefits... We will die in reality, but no one wants to die once.

The loss of a large amount of resources is enough to make the lords in the first line suffer for a while.

It is no longer a small fight with the insects in the sky island, and it is no longer a battle to force the lords to retreat with the majority. This is actually our first direct battle.

As the flesh turbine approaches, we can see more of the rotten bodies of these alien combat organisms intertwined with flesh and blood, and their internal structures rotating under the drive of the steam engine.

"Crossbow! Bow! Self-shooting!"

The distance is 300 meters, which is the distance of the bow and crossbow. The long-range firepower coverage that sacrifices accuracy is just to test the defense methods of these incoming enemies.

Whether it is a crossbow or a bow.

It is only effective against those monster infantry without armor and thick skin.

The crossbows and longbows that humans can hold, if they are to fight against structures made of wood, stone or even steel...

This is not good.

Or it is completely possible.

It is as ridiculous as using a rifle to fight against an enemy tank. The thick armor and extremely hard main structure will directly be immune to the kinetic damage caused by small-caliber weapons-only special weapons such as magic rifles can cause weak damage, which is slightly better than no weak damage.

The flesh turbine did not stop for a moment because of the rain of arrows, and they continued to stride forward.

The iron arrows that fell into its flesh and blood were swallowed and consumed as the flesh and blood squirmed, and the metal parts of the iron arrows were used as their own steel barriers, and then the difficult-to-consume wooden poles were discharged.

Some of the arrows that were very lucky to fall into the gap were directly crushed and broken by the rotating gears and hydraulic rods. Just such a small amount of metal could not hinder the operation of the machine.

Arrow rain attack is invalid.

Distance, 200 meters.

This is the maximum range of the construct's projectiles. At this distance, they can guarantee accuracy.

But you can make sure that the projectiles in your body reach the enemy's line.

For example, the simplest ones, rocks and slings... The combat effect is good and the cost is extremely low.

Ogres, barbarians, and trolls grabbed the projectiles hanging on their bodies, roared, and threw all kinds of projectiles flying in their bodies at the approaching scarlet line.

Even the bone throwers under the only undead lord grabbed the small skeletons beside them and rolled them into disposable bone bombs and threw them. The bone throwers never lacked ammunition, and they were surrounded by their own ammunition.

The vanguard line composed of hundreds of monster infantry with long-range attack capabilities launched their first wave of attacks, and those monster infantry without long-range attack capabilities patrolled on the side.

"It works!"

A cheer rang out from the ranks.

The flying slings knocked down several flesh turbines when they landed, and the rocks even broke the bodies and trunks of some of the flesh turbines.

The people on the second line saw that the stones and slings thrown by the monster infantry could kill these constructs, and they were relieved when they were resisted by them.

It seems that they really worried too much.

Li Yan, who was floating in the air, was observing these flesh turbines while sneaking close to Ji Lin's fleet, and he was worried for Ji Lin.

The launchers at the far end still did not make any moves, and they silently observed the combat effectiveness of the experimental troops they launched.

If a world's dangerous technology is no different from ordinary constructs...it will not be so simply called dangerous technology.

Only when the enemy activates these flesh turbines...the battle really begins.

The hit flesh turbines supported their bodies, and the broken parts were temporarily healed by flesh, and they stood up again from the ground.

They had no ability to feel pain, but they were creatures in the conventional sense after their bodies were broken and reassembled.

Then, the rotation and hoarse roar merged into a long cry.

‘Steam engine - overload’

Stride forward, wielding long spears.

At a speed that no one had reacted to, the steam machine soldiers who had become flesh turbines charged at the moment of being hit.

The second wave of attacks that followed did not hit the violent and out-of-control army group that was moving at high speed.

Two hundred meters, even if the terrain was rugged, was a distance that could be crossed in ten seconds.

They crashed into the defensive line formed by the monster infantry vanguards, like a conical spike, and the hundreds of front-line troops began to lose personnel at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Piercing,

The steam lance spewed out scarlet smoke, piercing the body of the creature under pressure, and the spreading electric current completely paralyzed the nerve organs in the creature.

Then repeat the process.

Whether it was a humanoid monster infantry, a beast monster cavalry, or a crustacean monster insect.

Nothing could withstand the steam lance, a weapon originally created to fight against steel creatures of the same level in close combat. It was designed for only one purpose...

That is to kill something like itself in close combat with one blow.

Rip,

The steel hydraulic arm of the arm pressed on the enemy's head, knocked the ogre to the ground under kinetic energy, and fell down with mechanical pressure.

The multifunctional mechanical arm is given higher flexibility by the flesh and blood, allowing it to raise its mechanical arm to block the enemy's hammer when the spear is swung

The steam machine soldiers have no concept of right and left, or they are double-handed. They have been enhanced by the flesh and blood core and have an unimaginable speed of action.

Eating,

The flesh and blood turbines have no vocal organs. All their sounds come from the crazy rotating airborne steam-powered machinery, which is also their erosion site.

The flesh and blood are placed in the chest cavity and then become part of their body.

It is more like an execution heading towards a predetermined death than a battle. The result is already determined... They are the executors of the process.

The lords and their troops rushed towards a meat grinder that was constantly moving forward. All the lords did was to replenish its energy.

When the bone structure walked in front of them.

The fleshless constructs have too many advantages over the flesh-based monster infantry. They will feel pain and bleed, and their bodies are made of extremely hard materials.

So, what awaits it...

It is no longer a piercing, but a nearly perfect oblique cut, which is smashed down hard with the edge of the spear under the hydraulic drive and flesh connection.

Then, the bone construct was cut in half from the shoulder to the crotch.

Or it was smashed in half along one direction by the edge.

The system recovered the soul core of the bone construct to prevent its most expensive part from being extinguished, and the remaining eerie bones fell to the ground as if they had lost their main bones.

The flesh turbine grabbed the bones of the bone construct that fell on the ground and installed them on its body. The remnants of these bone constructs were controlled by the flesh and blood to move on its surface to form a temporary armor shield wall.

Blunt weapons should be able to cause damage to us, and so they should be.

But the impact damage caused by blunt weapons has been mitigated by the outer layer of additional armor. The interwoven flesh and blood constitutes a strong enough buffer, so that the flesh turbine only staggers and launches a fatal counterattack on the attacker in the next moment.

It can withstand multiple hits and recover, but these monster infantry do not have this ability.

The attacker only has one chance, and as long as it dies, it will have countless chances.

Flesh and blood is the best fuel for their actions.

And the scarlet poisonous fog is spreading in front of the front line as they fight. These poisonous fogs full of heavy metals will cause irreversible damage to life.

They were born in a world polluted by poisonous fog and heavy metals.

"What a hell..."

The lords took a step back, but they dared not order the troops to retreat. Retreat is very likely to cause a rout.

You can die in battle, but you can't cause a rout.

Every killing and eating is equivalent to launching a determination of will against nearby units, questioning their will with blood and death, and weakening the morale of the units that saw all this.

Zhang Ao, the leader of the Ring Island Alliance, nodded and ordered the artillery in the second line of defense to enter the attack state.

If the firing is delayed, there may be problems with the front line.

"Well, it's time... Let the artillery fire."

Streams of light were fired from behind the front line. They were early magic cannons driven by spellcasters, and the arcane focuser mastered by Ji Lin... Their weapons went in the direction of launching ion spheres and fireballs.

There were also projectiles with built-in explosion spells fired by catapults, heavy crossbows born to fight against constructs, and explosive rocks thrown by rock elements.

The artillery pushed out from the camp entered their own firing positions.

This was not the first time that the Ring Island Alliance dealt with construct units. They also had heavy weapons in their army that were enough to fight against constructs.

The enemy's special constructs, along with their own monster infantry, were covered under this wave of mixed artillery fire.

The timely fire support from the second line gave the front-line lords a sigh of relief.
