Chapter 2813

"Mentor! The enemy army is catching up. It looks like a cavalry company!" Allen said eagerly.

A cavalry company, to say the least, has hundreds of guns!

The big enemy is approaching, and the four teachers and students who are in charge of breaking the back all feel a lot of pressure.

Edward's attention was shifted from the garbage dump to the pursuers, and a little blood returned to his face.

"Is this just a few chasers? Little fun, the four of us plus the activated scarecrow can easily handle them!"

Thomas was still in the mood to joke and liven up the atmosphere.

"Brat, be serious! Don't take your own life seriously!"

Master Rawls reprimanded Thomas, and then got busy, directing sixty activated scarecrows to use the garbage dump as a cover, hide in the dark, and wait for the opportunity.

After about ten minutes, a swimming fire dragon appeared on the opposite side of the garbage dump, meandering towards this side.

When they got closer, they were indeed the Port of Princes cavalry who had changed into red uniforms after surrendering to the enemy. Half of them were holding torches in their left hands and holding the reins tightly in their right hands.

The leading captain officer gave an order, and hundreds of cavalry got off their horses, held up torches to check the remaining footprints on the muddy ground, and followed them all the way to the garbage dump.

Edward had already taken out his wand. Seeing the pursuers approaching, he raised his wand and blasted out a "fireball".

Almost at the same time, Allen's "Flash Dust" and Thomas' "Fuel Technique" also came out.

The three young men cooperated tacitly. The group of cavalry walking ahead to explore the road was first blinded, then doused with fuel oil, and then bombarded by fireballs. Even if they were not killed on the spot, they were also ignited by the splashing sparks. The fat on his body instantly turned into a burning man, screaming and falling to the ground, rolling and struggling.

Master Rawls did not hesitate, and aimed at the torch held by a cavalryman in the center of the crowd, activating the 4th ring spell "Rain of Flame".

With a bang, the torch exploded suddenly, spewing out countless rain of fire and strong flashes, and the sky over the garbage dump was instantly bright as day, and more than half of the pursuers were burned, their eyes were stinging and tears were streaming down.

After being hit by a series of spells, a dozen or so corpses were left behind. The rest of the pursuers retreated in a hurry, hid behind the garbage pile, raised their rifles, and fired at the area where the spells hit.

The four teachers and students hurriedly hid behind the bunker, too afraid to show their faces under the pressure of the ferocious bullet rain.

The commander of the cavalry company found that there was no movement on the opposite side, so he made a gesture and led some of his men to grope forward, trying to capture the position.

Master Rawls saw the actions of the pursuers through a "secret eye" suspended in the night sky, and took out the "hub spring" that controlled all other clockwork modules from his arms, and issued instructions to remotely control sixty of them. The "activated scarecrows" lurking in the dark jumped out of the garbage dump one after another and rushed towards the nearest enemy.

The cavalry were caught off guard, and there were exclamations.

But they soon discovered that their opponents were just flimsy scarecrows, weak and weak, and seemed not difficult to deal with, so they calmed down again, and under the command of the captain and company commander, they raised their guns and opened fire!

However they overlooked one thing.

Scarecrows are not made of flesh and blood, and unless the bullet hits the skeleton, it will only penetrate the cloth and fluffy straw filling, and cannot cause fatal damage to these constructs.

The strength of activated scarecrows is not as good as that of professional soldiers, and they are not opponents of cavalry alone. However, they are equipped with clockwork boxes in their bodies. Long-range spells such as "Fear" and "Colorful Spray", although the spell level is not high, are very effective against ordinary soldiers.

The chasing soldiers fired a round of guns, but they didn't knock down a few activated scarecrows. Instead, they were approached by the scarecrows. Under the remote control of Master Rawls, they released spells collectively, killing more than half of the chasing soldiers in a blink of an eye!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the captain of the cavalry hurriedly ordered to retreat, got on his horse in a hurry, and took the remaining twenty or so men, and fled the garbage dump in a panic, his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the night.

Master Rawls prevented the students from killing the enemies who had lost their combat effectiveness. The remote control scarecrow disarmed them, stripped them naked and threw them into the garbage dump.

In this battle, more than 70 rifles and bayonets were seized. Unfortunately, the activated scarecrow is a low-level structure without intelligence.

Master Rawls picked up a rifle and fiddled with it twice, sighing regretfully.

"If I had known it would be today, I shouldn't have neglected the research topic of clockwork modules over the years."

In fact, long before he was assassinated, Master Rawls was thinking about developing a clockwork module that would allow the construct to use various firearms proficiently, but then he suffered a sudden change and came back to life after death, and his thinking changed , abandoned this research topic.

Now he can't help himself and is involved in the vortex of war. The peaceful study life that Mister Ruo loved was ruthlessly crushed by the invaders' iron hooves. Deeply touched, his thinking changed again, and he vaguely realized that peace is a compromise between the two conflicting parties. As a result, unilateral peace is not peace, it can only be called surrender.

Aware of this cold reality, Master Rawls had to admit that he had taken a detour in the past.

A person's aversion to violence and the development of weapons of war are not always contradictory.

In many cases, holding high the banner of peace also requires qualifications. Without the backing of strong military force to deter the enemy, peace is just empty talk.

Watching the pursuers retreat, Edward breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the garbage mountain, and covered his nose in disgust.

"Teacher, the enemy may send more pursuers. Let's not rush away, just stay here, try to delay the pursuers as much as possible, and it is best to persist until dawn. When Sister Miao and the others get on the boat, you can rest assured." Withdrew."

"Edward, I agree with your suggestion, but I have to say a few words that you don't like to hear. The reason why you insist on staying behind is mainly because you don't want to go to the garbage dump, right?

Thomas grinned and complained.

"Let's stay here until dawn, and when we receive a magic text message from Sister Meow, cast a spell to teleport to the river and board the boat directly, then we can skip this damn 'Brandy Path', right?"

Edward was indeed deceived by his old classmates, but he didn't intend to admit it. He gave Thomas a hard look, and strongly despised this fat man.

"Dark thoughts!"

"Hey! Hey! I'm hungry, which one of you brought snacks?"

Allen begged for feed with a bitter face.

"My God! This is a stinky garbage dump, you can still eat?!"

Edward was amazed at the young junior's good appetite.
