...
Joan was lucky. The information detected by "Advanced Internal Vision" not only included the species type and physical attributes of the flesh and blood colossus, but also most of its special abilities.
The strength attribute of the Flesh Colossus is as high as 46 is indeed amazing, but it is not beyond Joan's expectation. If the strength attribute of such a huge mythical construct cannot reach such a level, it will seem very disproportionate.
Most of the special abilities of the Flesh Colossus, including mythical abilities such as "magic sensor", "legendary armor", "transmission from another world" and "directed mythical anti-magic field", fully conformed to Joan's prediction.
The "Master of Fear" is similar to the "Master of Ice" of the Ice Barrier Colossus, with a range of influence as far as 6 miles, but it causes the trembling effect of the necromantic system.
In addition, "Master of Fear" may also have the effect of strengthening necromancy, and these details cannot be seen with "Advanced Internal Vision".
"Bloody Stomp" should be a brutal melee ability, similar to the "Ice Stomp" of the Ice Colossus, which is not difficult to understand.
What really surprised Joan was that the flesh and blood colossus seemed unable to transform into some kind of building, and was replaced by a strange ability called "construct core".
This ability was not mentioned in the notes of Cloud Giant Archmage Vavrunil, and Joan couldn't figure out what this "construction core" was.
While he was thinking silently, Queen Huaia, who didn't know whether it was the flesh and blood colossus or the colossus inside the colossus, noticed someone peeping from the sky, and opened the "directional myth anti-magic field".
Green rays of light emerged from the flesh colossus' body surface, and quickly expanded outwards, forming a spherical shield with a radius of up to 600 feet, moving forward with the colossus.
Joan's line of sight touched the green enchantment, and immediately felt that the magic thread was shielded, and "advanced inner vision" could not continue to detect the flesh and blood colossus through this enchantment.
The flesh and blood colossus strode forward on the "Twilight Plain", heading straight for the north gate of Linyuan Castle.
The imperial troops stationed outside the north gate had already received the order of Prince Sigmund to withdraw from the siege and make way for the flesh and blood colossus.
When I first received this order, the middle and lower rank officers in the army still didn't understand why the marshal wanted to remove the encirclement circle. Wouldn't it be convenient for the Kang Huali Corps to go out of the city and join the reinforcements?
At this moment, after they witnessed the Flesh Colossus with their own eyes, all these doubts dissipated, replaced by anxiety.
Even though they were several miles apart, all the officers and soldiers on Midgard's side were still under the shroud of the "lord of fear", trembling uncontrollably in their hands and feet, and terribly flustered.
Just facing such a strong sense of oppression in front of the flesh and blood colossus, how could he summon up the courage to attack that monster like a moving castle?
Marshal Sigmund has long seen that ordinary soldiers lack the courage and strength to fight against the flesh and blood colossus. Instead of forcing them to go up to die, it is better to withdraw first to avoid the enemy's edge and preserve their vitality.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the Flesh Colossus arrived at the north gate of Linyuan Castle without any hindrance.
Standing on the top of the city, Thomas Cornwallis witnessed with his own eyes that the flesh and blood colossus proudly passed through the enemy's position, and the imperial soldiers who were frightened by it looked so small and helpless like a colony of frightened ants.
The scene before him made General Kang Huali feel elated, and he became more determined to rely on the flesh and blood colossus to launch a counterattack. He immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and led his troops to join the flesh and blood colossus.
The flesh and blood colossus stopped outside the city gate, its chest was like an open gate, a large hole was automatically opened, and a ladder directly to the surface fell down from it.
Borson led 60 hill giant mercenaries including Todd, walked out from the depths of the flesh colossus' chest cavity one after another, and reached the surface along the stairs made of white bones. After rendezvous, they were reorganized into four squadrons, surrounded by the Flesh Colossus, serving as guards.
There are twenty-one passengers left in the Flesh Colossus, except for Queen Huaia, the rest are technicians responsible for maintaining the colossus.
After Bolsson and others left, Queen Huaia also appeared at the top of the stairs, with a smug smile on her face, waving to General Cornwallis' handsome flag.
On the opposite side of the Feizhen Corps, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers cheered in unison.
Among the cheering crowd, no one really liked the huge and ferocious flesh and blood colossus, but Master Fei rejoiced that this colossus was an ally on his side, and it was also the biggest reliance to turn the tide of the battle and win the victory. It was worthy of their cheers.
Qiao An was in the sky, and when he heard the cheers from Fei Zhen's side, he couldn't help but wonder to himself. He was also under the shroud of "Fear Dominator", and Fei Zhen didn't seem to be negatively affected, and even their war horses seemed very calm.
Joan raised the flight altitude and overlooked the opposing camps on the battlefield. It was soon discovered that, taking the location of the Flesh Colossus as the dividing line, the concentration of negative energy flow diffused on one's own position was higher; while on the other side of the Fizhen army's position, there were almost no signs of negative energy flow observed.
The contrasting scene shows that the Flesh Colossus can control the "Dreadlord" to adjust the area of effect, so as to avoid negative effects on allies.
On the ground battlefield, after meeting with General Cornwallis, Queen Huaia slipped back into the body of the flesh and blood colossus, and personally drove the colossus to slowly turn around and approach Midgard's position.
Shortly thereafter, the Fizhen Regiment also began to move.
It is still a phalanx composed of riflemen and pikemen. The riflemen stand in the inner circle of the phalanx, and the pikemen stand in the outer circle to resist the impact of enemy cavalry.
Feizhen officers and soldiers in red military uniforms lined up in a square formation, marching neatly to the beat of military music and drums, using the giant statue of flesh and blood as a moving barrier, marching in line on the evening plain illuminated by the morning sun.
On the opposite Midgard position, most of the 3,000 "law-breaker knights" from the empire are advanced paladins, who have activated the "aura of courage" and are immune to the fear emanating from the flesh and blood colossus. The long spears all pointed at the sky obliquely, like a dense steel forest.
As for the native troops of the New World, they dare not approach the Colossus at all. Even if the well-trained officers and soldiers can barely keep calm, their mounts will be frightened and out of control under the influence of the "Master of Fear", hindering the battle.
