Chapter 2555 the Giant Statue in the Cornfield

On July 29, the second day after George Vasa repelled the special envoy to persuade him to surrender, all the soldiers of the Continental Army, including General Vasa himself, were ready to fight to the death with the enemy outside the city.

However, to the surprise of the defenders, Earl Winthrop ordered Feizhen's army to suspend the attack and wait for the opportunity.

For the sake of confidentiality, Earl Winthrop did not explain to his officers what "timing" was. In fact, he was waiting for a siege weapon from Calydon Island.

This time, the Feizhen army went south by boat. On the way, Earl Winthrop made a special detour to Calydon Island. He met with his ally and friend, Queen Huaia, and recruited 3,000 hill giant mercenaries from the island to join the army. .

During the "Mine Lode War" in 1622, the Queen of Huaia once drove the flesh and blood colossus "Princess" to the front line of Midgard. Unfortunately, she was attacked before she participated in the siege. The flesh and blood colossus was thrown from high altitude by the enemy caster. "Destroyed, but fortunately kept the core golem.

After the war, Queen Huaia returned to Calydon Island, and it took a lot of effort to reshape the core golem into a flesh and blood colossus.

The main purpose of Earl Winthrop's visit this time is to invite Queen Huaia to accompany him on an expedition to Midgard with the flesh and blood colossus. With this mythical colossus, it will be easier to conquer the city.

Queen Huaiya agreed to participate in the southward battle, but she did not board the ship immediately. There were two main reasons.

First of all, the Flesh Colossus is too big and too heavy for the troop carrier to accommodate.

More importantly, Queen Huaia is not ready yet, and the final and most important modification project of the Flesh Colossus has not yet been completed.

At first, Queen Huaiya planned to preside over the modification project by herself. After trying it, she found that the result was not as expected, so she invited an enchanting expert called "Professor" through a friend to help her realize her modification intention.

On the island, Queen Huaia promised His Excellency the Viceroy that the refitting would definitely be completed by the end of July. At that time, she would personally drive the Flesh Colossus to the front line of Midgard to participate in the siege operations.

Of course, there are some things she has to say first.

The teleportation function of the Flesh Colossus is not very accurate, and there is usually an error of 5 to 50 miles from the destination. This error is not a big problem. It will take half a day at most, and the Flesh Colossus can walk from the teleportation point to Feizhen Army frontline positions.

Just this morning, Earl Winthrop cast a spell to contact Queen Huaia, and learned that the Flesh Colossus was about to be refitted and would be on the road tomorrow night at the latest.

In fact, with the current military strength of Governor Winthrop, including 20,000 Fiji regular troops, 6,000 Asa mercenaries from the Wali tribe, and 3,000 hill giant mercenaries from Calydon Island, in the naval fleet With their cooperation, even if the Flesh Colossus is absent, they are still confident of conquering Midgard City.

But Earl Winthrop didn't want that.

In the Battle of Granary Mountain, although the Feizhen Army won, its casualties far exceeded those of the Continental Army.

At that time, seeing the corpses of Feizhen soldiers all over the mountains and plains, especially when he learned that nearly a hundred officers had been sacrificed, Earl Winthrop was heartbroken, and he no longer wanted such a heavy victory.

If the city of Midgard was stormed, nearly 30,000 troops in the city would fight with their backs, fighting trapped beasts. He had to worry that the tragedy of the Battle of Granary Hill would repeat itself.

Earl Winthrop didn't want to pay too many casualties, so he would rather postpone the siege and wait for another day, when Queen Huaia rushed to the battlefield with the refitted "Flesh Colossus" and exchanged the smallest price for the greatest victory.

...

On the evening of July 30th, in a cornfield about 40 miles west of Midgard City, an unusually strong turbulence of magic power suddenly erupted, and a supermassive object was sent over immediately.

Accompanied by the surge of the magic net, a golden beam of light rose from the ground and pierced the sky. In the teleportation array shrouded in brilliance, a 60-foot-tall humanoid giant statue made of flesh and blood slowly emerged!

The farmer, who was working in the field, noticed the sudden storm and swept down a large piece of corn in an instant. He quickly climbed up the walnut tree beside the field and looked at the place where the abnormal situation occurred from a height.

The first time he saw the flesh and blood colossus, he screamed in fright, and fell from the branch of the tree, staring at his eyes.

Clutching the big swollen forehead, the farmer screamed all the way and hurriedly ran to the nearest manor, out of breath, and reported to the housekeeper Mr. Heimdall that a huge monster appeared in the corn field.

Heimdall confirmed that the news was true, and immediately reported to the hostess, Ms. Rebecca Custis.

At this moment, Rebecca was having dinner with her sister Martha, and when they heard that the Flesh Colossus had been teleported to their cornfield, the two sisters didn't care about eating, so they hurriedly cast spells to investigate.

Through the "detection crystal ball", the Custis sisters saw the hideous appearance of the flesh and blood colossus with their own eyes. However, they only observed for a short ten seconds, and then their vision became pitch black, and they could not see anything.

"what happened?"

Mrs. Martha panicked and slapped the crystal ball, thinking that the magic weapon was malfunctioning.

"Martha, I'm afraid it's not the problem of the crystal ball, but rather that the giant statue has opened a mythical anti-magic field to block the investigative magic from the outside world." Rebecca was still calm.

"What can we do... The Colossus has already arrived here, how can George and his troops defend the city?"

Thinking of the dangerous situation of her husband and the soldiers of the Continental Army, Mrs. Martha was so anxious that she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Martha, hurry up and send a letter to your brother-in-law, asking him to prepare two things...no, three things!"

Rebecca comforted her sister as calmly as possible.

"First of all, if the flesh and blood colossus is involved in the siege, Midgard's city defenses will be useless. My brother-in-law must prepare a retreat route in advance to ensure that the troops lead to the south before the city falls."

"Secondly, our army still has a chance to destroy the colossus, but we don't have much time left. We must do it within two hours, otherwise we will have no chance when the flesh and blood colossus enters the enemy's base camp!"

"Destroy the Colossus?" Martha looked blank, "How do you destroy such a large construct? Use cannonballs?"

"Unfortunately, we don't have cannons that are powerful enough to defeat the Colossus." Rebecca smiled wryly. "Fortunately, there are other ways to deal with the Colossus—the one invented by Joan during the Mineral War in 1622."

Martha heard her husband talk about the war, and she also knew Joan's whimsical approach at the time. It sounds worth trying. The question is who will take the risk of destroying the Flesh Colossus?

"Rebecca, Joan is not an ordinary person. Others may not be able to do what he can do." Mrs. Martha asked her sister worriedly, "Do you think that in the army mages under George's account... there is someone who can do the job?" Is it the role that Joan played in the first place?"
