Chapter 1678 "Princess" Arrives (Ⅲ)

At 11:15 a.m. on September 3, 1622, the "Battle of the Evening Plains" that determined the fate of the Midgard colony officially started.

The first to attack was the artillery from Midgard's side.

According to Prince Sigmund's request, the thirty cannons that were originally installed on the coastal defense fort of Midgard Harbor were all dismantled, and after the "shrinking technique" was applied, they were urgently transported to the front line, and artillery positions were temporarily set up as a way to block the flesh and blood Colossus' first line of defense.

The roar of the five-inch caliber gun barrel shook the earth, and the heavy shells flew across the sky, roaring and blasting towards the flesh and blood colossus.

The 60-foot-tall colossus was a good target to aim at. After a round of test firing, the observers adjusted the shooting elements, and the accuracy of the subsequent shelling was significantly improved. Big hole.

Although compared with the huge body of the "Princess", the projectiles fired by the five-inch gun are too small, and it is not enough to cause fatal injuries when bombarded on the colossus. However, this round of shelling can at least bring some hope to the officers and soldiers of our side and improve morale. pick up.

However, hope comes quickly and disappears faster.

Facing the bombardment of the cannon, the Flesh Colossus stopped moving forward, slowly raised its hands, opened the chest hatch, reached into the depths of the chest cavity, pulled out a blue object not much bigger than its palm, and held it in front of it as a shield. Put on a posture to block the bombardment of the cannon.

The iron plate in the hands of the flesh and blood colossus, to be honest, is a circle larger than the military tower shield of the human army, but compared with its huge size, it seems too small, it is impossible to effectively block the shelling, but it looks very funny .

On the Midgard side, some people were indeed amused by the Flesh Colossus's gesture of waving a small shield.

However, some people couldn't laugh, such as Joan who was watching the battle in the air at the moment.

The first time he saw the cold green glow of the enchanted shield in the "Princess"'s hand reflected in the sun, Joan recognized that it was made of "green ice" like his "iron maiden", and it was probably made of "green ice". Enchanted with the "Shrinkage Technique" to reduce volume and weight!

"Shrinking" is a "change school" spell. It is not included in the exemption list of the directional myth anti-magic field. It stands to reason that it should not be effective. Why can it make the shield shrink?

This question made Joan's eyes darken for a while, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

If the "shrinking technique" is also included in the immunity list of the anti-magic field by the "princess", the trouble will be big!

This small accident may cause the "anti-colossus weapon" that Joan painstakingly made to fail to play its due role and become two pieces of scrap iron!

If this worst-case scenario comes true, Joan can't think of any other way to fight against the flesh and blood colossus and save the defeat...

With an almost desperate mood, Joan held his breath and stared at the small piece of crystal steel in the hands of the "princess", praying to all the gods he knew that the piece of crystal steel would grow bigger as soon as possible.

"Million, ten thousand... must become bigger!"

"If you don't grow up, my troubles will get bigger!"

Maybe it was Joan's prayer that moved a certain god, and what happened next on the battlefield made him feel relieved.

Before the next round of bombardment came, the small shield in the Flesh Colossus's hand was eliminated by the directional mythical anti-magic field, and under the gaze of everyone on the battlefield, it rapidly expanded a thousand times, turning into a shield commensurate with the Flesh Colossus' stature. The giant crystal steel shield is about 10 feet wide, 30 feet high, and 3 feet thick!

This is not a shield, it is clearly a steel barrier!

The cannonball hit the huge crystal steel shield in the hands of the "princess", just like a small stone hitting a thick ice block, leaving only a slight white spot before being bounced off.

The officers and soldiers on Midgard's side, seeing the flesh and blood colossus showing such a huge shield that could block the bombardment of the cannon, all couldn't help but gasped, and their hearts were filled with despair.

Only Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart hanging in his throat fell back into his stomach.

"Thank the gods, the worst possibility didn't happen!"

Judging from the automatic enlargement of the crystal steel shield in the anti-magic field—rather than the "princess" actively releasing the "shrinking spell" attached to the shield—the "shrinking spell" is indeed not in the "directed mythical anti-magic field" included in the exemption list.

Qiao An guessed that the "directed mythical anti-magic field" can only be exempted from a series of spells of the same nature, and "shrinking" is not a necromantic spell at all. It is obviously not worthwhile to remove all necromancy spells from the immunity list.

So when the shield is in the body of the flesh and blood colossus, why can it maintain the reduced state?

After some thinking, Joan can only think that the directional myth anti-magic field can only radiate outside the body, but it will not affect the space inside the colossus.

In this way, the body of the Flesh Colossus became an "unlawful place" that could be used to store magic items.

These guesses could not be verified for the time being, Joan withdrew his thoughts, and turned his attention back to the battlefield again.

The density of crystal steel is only 1/5 of that of iron, and its toughness and hardness are similar to steel. Such a huge shield weighs no less than 50 tons. Even with the strength attribute of the flesh and blood colossus as high as 46 points, walking with this heavy giant shield is still very difficult. With some difficulty, he simply bent his knees and half-kneeled on the battlefield, squatting behind the shield to resist the shelling.

At the same time, Joan noticed that the wounds on the flesh and blood colossus's surface, which were blasted out by cannons, were surging with dark negative energy flow, and the wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye under the comfort of negative energy!

After a brief shock, Joan guessed that Queen Huaia, who was hiding in the body of the flesh and blood colossus, was using the signature ability of the priest profession "guiding negative energy" to heal the flesh and blood colossus.

The flesh and blood colossus has the characteristics of an undead creature and can be healed by negative energy, which Joan has known for a long time.

Judging from the situation on the battlefield, it is obvious that our own bombardment cannot penetrate the huge crystal steel shield in the hands of the flesh and blood colossus, and when the wounds on the "princess" are healed by Queen Huaia, the colossus will stand up again and hold the giant statue. Charge forward with a huge shield, ruthlessly slaughter your own troops!

Realizing this, Joan knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and had to destroy the flesh and blood colossus completely before it got up!

Joan touched the storage bag. Before using the two "steel cubes", he wanted to try another tactic to see if it would work, so he cast the "advanced mosquito finger technique" to turn his left tail finger into blood. Mosquito spy, and established a "mythological link" with the blood mosquito.

Joan didn't want to reveal his location, so he let the blood mosquito go around in a circle, approaching the flesh and blood colossus from behind, and finally hovered at a position about 900 feet away from the colossus.

If it continued to fly forward, the Blood Mosquito ran into the anti-magic field and was in danger of being beaten back to its original shape on the spot.
