Chapter 1138: The Attacking "Iron Maiden" (Ⅱ)
Taking a deep breath, Joan calmed down a bit, made a spell-casting gesture, and performed a "magic trick" to clean up the blood gurgling down the top of the "Iron Maiden" tower, and restore the crystal steel wall to a transparent state.
The mutated yeti outside the tower had a shockingly large hole in its back knocked out by the high-speed flying "iron maiden", and the white stubble of broken bones and squirming internal organs could be seen faintly.
The monster fell to the ground, still breathing, and crawled forward with difficulty, whimpering, as if it wanted to escape from this terrifying battlefield and return to its warm lair deep in the snow mountain.
Witnessing that the once extremely powerful monster turned into the pitiful appearance of torn flesh and dying, exposing the fragile nature hidden under the ferocious appearance, Joan felt a palpitation.
What kind of weapon did I invent? To be able to completely destroy such a huge and strong monster as easily as crushing a cockroach!
Joan felt like never before that a flesh and blood body is so fragile, even if it has a giant body, it will still be knocked to the ground by a steel tower weighing one ton and flying at high speed, without any resistance.
The air in the tower was polluted with blood, which made him feel nauseated, and at the same time, he felt an inexplicable spiritual pleasure.
The strange eyeball on the back of the neck, stimulated by the blood and killing, became active again, opened on its own, and turned around, affecting Joan's nerves.
Joan frowned, pulled up his collar with his backhand, covered the sight of the strange eyeballs, and forced himself to regain his composure with willpower, not to lose his true nature in the blood.
"Whether it's wallowing in killing, or turning to self-loathing, it's not a positive and healthy state of mind."
"Adults should know how to deal with war rationally and fairly evaluate the killing of the enemy."
"This is a battlefield where you live and die, a battlefield where the enemy and we are sworn to death!"
"If I don't kill the monster, the monster will kill me. The reason is simple and clear, why bother thinking about it?"
Joan muttered to herself, trying to persuade herself not to be confused and to face the reality soberly.
At the same time, he also set a principle in his heart about war and killing.
"When you have to, there is nothing wrong with killing, but it is best not to torture and kill the enemy, let alone torturing the enemy for fun."
The reason why Joan established such a creed for himself was not because he had any "Virgin complex", but because he was vaguely aware that there was a very strong tendency to violence lurking in his bones, and he could always feel the moment when he destroyed his life. to great pleasure.
In Joan's view, this kind of pleasure is not only immoral, but also very dangerous!
If a person indulges in this wicked pleasure, and does not mind destroying life in order to extract more pleasure, it is like being addicted to drugs, and only by killing more lives can the surging thirst for blood be satisfied.
If things go on like this, the mind will be twisted, and eventually become a bloodthirsty demon, a crazy monster—and this is the fate that Joan tries to avoid.
He must not allow himself to degenerate in blood so that he loses his humanity.
Taking a long breath, Qiao An stood in the air, surrounded by the "Iron Maiden", summarizing the set of experiments just carried out.
After many actual combat tests, Qiao An now has a more comprehensive understanding of the "Iron Maiden"'s "Bump Mode", and understands its advantages and disadvantages.
The biggest advantage of the "corner collision mode" is the integration of offense and defense, and there is an invisible force field buffer zone between Joan himself and the surrounding tower walls.
The moment the high-speed flying "Iron Maiden" hits the enemy, it will theoretically also bear the same reaction force. If all the reaction force is exerted on Qiao An, then he himself will be shocked to pieces and die.
However, in the actual combat test, Joan did not suffer a strong impact. He had to thank the buffer force field between the tower wall and himself, like an invisible sponge, which absorbed most of the reaction force and protected him from the impact. .
In addition to these advantages, Joan also realized that there are still two imperfections in the "bump mode" of "Iron Maiden".
First of all, the "corner collision mode" requires an open space for full acceleration. Without speed, there will be no momentum, and the lethality will be greatly reduced.
The "Iron Maiden" itself is relatively large, and it is necessary to provide her with an acceleration space, which means that it is inconvenient for Joan to use this attack method indoors-it hits the wall before completing the acceleration, and it is embarrassing to think about it. !
In addition, even in an outdoor battlefield, where there is enough open space for acceleration, the speed of the "Iron Maiden" has an upper limit, which is basically equal to Joan's own flying speed.
In beeman form, the limit speed is almost 150 miles per hour.
In Hawkman form, the limit speed can reach about 200 miles per hour.
Of course, this full-speed assault mode cannot last long, and the physical energy will be exhausted within half an hour.
Limited by the physical structure of the Beeman and the Eagleman, it would be difficult for Joan to increase his speed, and the upper limit of speed determined the upper limit of the "Iron Maiden's" kinetic energy, which in turn determined the upper limit of its lethality.
Is there a way to find another way to increase the flight speed?
In fact, there are still.
If Joan is a druid, or learns the 4th ring "transformation" in the future, he can become a bird that is more suitable for high-speed assault than the eagle man.
For example, "Peregrine Falcon", such as "Frigate Bird", and the fastest flying bird in the natural world of Vales, "Blue-backed Swift", the sprint speed can even reach one third of the speed of sound in a short period of time!
If Joan can turn into these birds that are better at high-speed flight, the "Iron Maiden" can hit the enemy at "subsonic speed", and the destructive power will be two to three times higher than that of the humpman, and a single collision can completely kill the mutation The snow monster will not be like it is now, leaving opportunities for the enemy to struggle or even dodge.
The sudden gunshot from across the canal interrupted Joan's thoughts.
Looking through the crystal steel tower to the direction of the gunshots, he saw Second Lieutenant Yang leading all the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company appearing on the opposite side of the moat, shooting at the monsters attacking the city.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield has quietly reversed.
The six mutated snow monsters were all killed. The dire wolf and snow monsters that jumped up to the top of the wall before lost their backup. Under the siege of the Asa warriors, they were killed one after another.
The pack of wolves and snow monsters below the city were also frightened by the rampant "Iron Maiden", and they retreated to the canal one after another, thinking of retreating to the other bank the same way.
However, the six single-plank bridges across the canal had already been destroyed by Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden, cutting off the retreat of the monsters.
The reconnaissance company entered the battlefield, making the situation of the monsters even worse. The bullets fired from behind forced them to have no time to take care of the siege, and fled in all directions screaming.
In the end, except for a very few dire wolves who braved the hail of bullets and forcibly crossed the river to escape, the rest of the monsters were all dead under the wall of Elk Town, and the moat was stained red with blood.
