Chapter 296 Breakthrough
The army retreated steadily, almost as much as the chief of the Metallurgical Department retreated, Xu Yi advanced, and as many living flames were completely extinguished.
In less than half an hour, the giant rusty iron beasts had already escorted the chiefs of the Metallurgical Department and retreated to the entrance of the tribe, where three hundred giant stone hammer beasts gathered.
This was not Xu Yi's first time facing a huge beast, and he didn't even have much fear. As the vanguard, the bloody knight charged straight forward!
The attack power of these giant stone hammer beasts is really exaggerated. A bloody knight who bullied him was hit by the high-flying headbutt, and his whole body and his mount were immediately thrown away. This scene was extremely impactful.
In Xu Yi's detection field of vision, the blood knight's health was almost bottomed out, making him couldn't help but take another look at this ten-meter-high behemoth. Could it break a thousand health points with one blow?
However, no matter how powerful this giant beast is, it cannot violate the Blood Knight's life curse rules. When it was smashed out, it howled in pain, cowered, and did not dare to take action again.
The small thing in front of it seems to be difficult to threaten it, but it can survive its blow, and the feedback from where it hits it is a kind of pain that goes deep into the soul, making the giant stone hammer beast timid.
This group, especially the giant stone hammer beasts, has been away from the war for a long time. For many years, all they have to do is shake their heads and they will be supported by the Metallurgical Department as treasures. Their bones have long lost the wildness when they were born as savage beasts.
As soon as he saw that the other party was not easy to mess with and seemed difficult to harm himself, he shrank back and did not dare to take the initiative to attack again.
After hearing the screams of their companions, several more giant stone hammer beasts tried the same method and also screamed.
The entire group of giant stone hammer beasts actually felt fear and slowly gathered together in one place driven by the bloody knight who was less than one-third of its height.
More than two hundred surviving giant stone hammer beasts huddled together, galloping around them in circles, and the ferocious roaring bloody knights made them extremely uneasy.
At a casual glance, Xu Yi knew that this kind of war beast had completely lost its ability to fight and turned into an existence similar to domestic animals due to the delicious food and drink provided by the chief of the Metallurgical Tribe.
Xu Yi surrounded these two hundred giant beasts with more than a hundred bloody knights, and the remaining army bypassed them from both sides. As long as they did not rush these big men and stimulate their ferocity, they would not pose much of a threat.
The black army opened a hole, swallowing up the giant stone hammer beasts in one go, and swarmed towards the chief and the rusty iron beast further back.
Soon, the two collided together. Even though most of the rusty iron beasts, whose main function was to produce catalysts, were well-fed and raised to the fourth level, they were still no match for the bloody knight with combat expertise.
Bone hooves stepped over, followed by the shadow giant scorpion with its high scorpion tail raised, piercing with spears and tail needles. After a few rounds, these seemingly useful giant beasts showed their decline.
At this time, it was too late to retreat. The poison of the Shadow Giant Scorpion lasted for a very long time. Many rusty iron giants that retreated to the back were killed by the scorpion tail poison.
After several confrontations, the four-striped rusty iron behemoth fell down in two rows.
But compared to the scale of over 10,000, it is only a small area.
But there was already a discordant voice in a large team, and for Xu Yi, this voice was gospel that could reduce losses.
"Surrender, I surrender. Don't kill Dahui. Dahui already has five lines. He has been with me for twenty-one years. Fellow tribesmen, I'm sorry for you. The little thing with three lines is okay, but the rusty iron giant with five lines is I really can’t let go of the beast. It has been with me longer than my wife. I really can’t let go of it..."
The first two sentences were very loud. This chief who had reached the fifth level was obviously not pretending to surrender. The two armies clashed and roared so loudly. Even if they were pretending to surrender, it would directly affect morale. It can only be said that there are no such stupid surrenderers. .
The subsequent words were whispered, just to ensure that the chiefs on his side could hear him, as if he was feeling guilty and explaining to the other chiefs of the Metallurgical Department, and also as if he was persuading himself and adding reasons for his surrender...
And once the first chief who is reluctant to part with his beast appears, the second and third chiefs of the Metallurgical Department with the same plot will not be far away.
After another batch of rusty iron beasts died, different voices came out one after another:
"Sir, I can't bear to part with my family's wealth. It's only seventeen years old!"
"So is my black girl. She has been a dignified lady for fifteen years!"
"No more fighting, we surrender. I hope the chief will let us go because we have good metal refining abilities."
"I am willing to lay off some of my war beast troops and keep only the basic production needs for the chief chief!"
…
These chiefs, who were constantly shrinking after being beaten, surrendered in the same way. Without any warning, they began to actively reduce their threat. Anyone who didn't know would not believe that this was the first time for these people to surrender...
After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Yi came to some understanding. The other party was afraid that he would react and could only refine the metal but not convert it into useful materials.
Without cooperation with the Ministry of Heavenly Works, these guys are really of no use...
In order to achieve a quick victory and reduce casualties, Xu Yi accepted the surrender of these chiefs.
Leave some shadow giant scorpions to watch the surrendered chiefs. Against the weak flesh and blood, the three-striped shadow giant scorpion's scorpion needle can be said to be a one-shot kill.
Not afraid that these people would rebel and disperse the remaining rusty iron beasts, Xu Yi led the vanguard army straight into the Metallurgical Department.
Only after entering the Metallurgical Department did Xu Yi discover why the other side couldn't even gather all the war beasts. These living flames that couldn't go on the field had a lot of metal residues in their bodies.
Hundreds of low-marked chiefs were sweating and using the magic magnetism to suck out the residue that affected the living flames.
But this removal process was extremely slow. Seeing Xu Yi attacking the tribe, these chiefs were obviously a little panicked. They didn't know that their chiefs who went to fight had surrendered.
Sporadic living flames were sent out to resist, but they couldn't resist the charge of a round of bloody knights.
"Those who surrender will not be killed. You have already been defeated. All the chiefs are our captives. Why fight again and increase casualties?"
Riding in the lead, Xu Yi shouted loudly, which immediately made these already panicked low-marked chiefs who stayed behind startled and doubtful.
However, there were still some people with a more stubborn temperament who shouted: "Don't listen to their lies. The army assembled by the chiefs will not be killed so quickly even if they are slaughtered. They must be just surprise troops. As long as we can hold on for a while, we can hold on until the army comes back to help!"
This man wanted to say something, but a bloody knight had stepped out at Xu Yi's signal and shot the agitator with a spear.
The blood erosion attack dissolved a fist-sized wound in his chest and abdomen. The blood spear tilted, and the chief was thrown out and fell to the side before he could scream in pain. He died without a sound.
For a moment, all the remaining chiefs of the Metallurgical Department were silent...
