Chapter 229: Kill
"Three warnings completed, all non-hostile units on the route have been cleared."
Ji Lin sighed as he looked at the outsiders in the distance who were still unwilling to lower their status and were planning to fight with them.
I just hope that after eliminating them, the gains can be used to purchase some new population in the market. Fifty young and strong laborers are not too many, but not too few.
The rules of the territory cannot be broken. Comprehensive inspection and redemption of weapons are the top priorities, which can greatly reduce the risk of violent incidents after the residents enter the territory. Even if a violent incident occurs, the guards with sufficient physical training can rely on the wooden forks issued to complete the suppression work.
Even the trade priests from Tran cooperated very well to disarm themselves and handed them over to the old bishop for safekeeping, and the old bishop kept all the equipment after Ji Lin reviewed it.
These uninvited guests, the truck they pulled behind was full.
"Let them move."
Theoretically weighing three tons, and with a combat weight of two tons after the floating stone, the steam spider turned its internal mechanical joints, stood up, and fixed its body shape. Switching the bottom pressure relief valve from the locked state to the open state... is as natural as a person setting the safety to cocked before firing.
These bulky and flexible structures were never born for peace.
Creations derived from rune bionics.
They have low autonomous intelligence, and sometimes even behave like living things, only obeying simple orders from the commander.
He also wanted to see what effect the structure he was going to put into the battlefield would have.
Can the reinforced front armor effectively resist the attack of the caster? He did not forget that the arc generator installed on the steam machine soldier before only needed to paralyze the steam spider in one shot, leaving it paralyzed forever.
The deadly weapons created by that world specifically to fight against melee mechanical units, the steam spider with a full body of steel is still like this. If this level of deadly electrical energy acts on the monster infantry that is rushing in...
This is a very special equipment technology tree. Unfortunately, Jeanna can't help him in this regard.
"The target is fifty-three people, the long-range ability is unknown, send out two to see the situation."
"Received, the construct has been activated."
The dean awakened the two constructs, gestured to the observation crystals embedded in the heads of normal spiders, and issued an attack order to the target.
"You are really good at predicting things, they really only sent out two mechanical beasts."
The three spellcasters/monks talked, and they were naturally overjoyed to see that there were only two mechanical beasts in the formation hundreds of meters away from them.
They also knew that if the other party went all in, it would be a tough battle for them. There were only two, which was in line with what the elegant monk among the three of them said.
"Heh, we just need to paralyze these two strange things next. I think he will naturally invite us back after seeing our ability."
The elegant monk looked at the steam spider with six sharp shovel-like legs clumsily walking towards his position with contempt. The metal plates attached to the six limbs and the extended armor of the body covered its fragile internal structure tightly.
With these additional metal plates, the steam spider moved more like a big piece of iron.
"It's neither a four-legged nor an eight-legged strange thing, all black. The lord of this place is really a bit... low-class in the aesthetics of mechanical beasts."
The youngest monk in green laughed.
"I think this thing is not a high-end product, but it is tightly wrapped in iron sheets."
The oldest monk laughed twice and pulled out a four-foot-long sword with complicated patterns engraved on it from the sedan chair.
It's more like a staff than a long sword. After all, no matter what these equipment look like, their ultimate function is to act as a spellcasting amplifier, quickly releasing spells to attack targets from a long distance, rather than fighting with others to the death with swords.
Being able to fight in close combat is just a side effect of their overly strong material.
Some of them are not even tough, but rely on spells to form a nearly rigid weapon.
"I don't know how many hits you can take from me, set up a formation, take my three swords."
As he spoke, he had already used his long sword to draw a formation diagram on the ground, stepped into it, and floated three meters high in the air.
The dark blue magic formation was formed under his feet, and the energy gathered and condensed on the sword, turning into a green blade.
The green blade swept across a hundred meters in an instant, hitting the steam spider's guard plate with incredible accuracy, piercing the two-millimeter metal guard plate used to resist/deflect small projectiles, leaving a deep mark on the steel frame supporting the guard plate.
The Steam Spider raised its body and realized the three deep marks left by the opponent on its armored shield. Its thinking circuit quickly judged that it had been attacked in advance.
The Dean in the distance looked at the loss of the Steam Spider with a little surprise. It was able to penetrate the deflection shield of the Steam Spider at a distance of nearly 200 meters. In the design, this two-millimeter steel shield with a slightly curved shape can resist direct hits from long-pole muskets within 100 meters. The long-range strike power exerted by the monk is also quite excellent.
However, since the power is a bit large. The preliminary anti-strike test has been completed, he can't be allowed to output recklessly. If he breaks one, it will be very troublesome to repair it.
'Switch to charge state, steam engine overload. '
Combat state, encounter attack, counterattack.
It lifts its body, stretches out the curled-up mechanical structure, and re-engages the mechanism to provide corresponding rotation space for the walking foot structure. While exposing its relatively fragile internal structure, it gained the strongest mobility.
You will know this steam spider only if it retains some characteristics of the steam spider.
Switched from slow advance mode to charge mode.
‘Route confirmed’
'Target in attack path'
‘Melee mode, safety valve is offline, confirmed. ’
‘Boiler pressure has reached maximum’
Seeing the attacked steam spider stop, as if lying low on the ground, and emitting a large burst of white smoke, the other two monks, who were not sure why, praised their eldest brother who had been in the military for his great ability.
The fifty warriors on guard also gained a little more confidence. These monks were able to enter and become superior people. These followers can naturally drink some soup and enjoy a stable life.
"As expected of a big brother, I solved it in just one move."
The oldest sword-wielding monk, who was floating in the air and had an excellent attack and observation angle, frowned and looked serious. Watching the two steam spiders stop strangely and lower their bodies, he clearly saw that the blade he swung out did not damage its main structure.
"Something's wrong. You should prepare quickly. These two things are... difficult to deal with."
That was already his most effective attack in the battle formation. In the battle line between the two armies, these three swords struck six people in the dense formation. Although this power is not as deadly and fast as a heavy crossbow, it can at least break through a layer of heavy armor.
But it was only possible to cut off the outermost layer of armor... without causing any damage to its body... which is somewhat interesting.
But it doesn't matter, he only needs to concentrate for a moment to charge up three more swords. As long as the opponent still maintains this speed of action, this slow speed of action is enough for him to swing again...
slow?
The monks and the vigilant warriors watched in astonishment as the slow-moving iron lump in their eyes widened a bit after a brief pause as it stretched its moving joints.
Are they running?
The steam engine installed in the center of the steam spider was spinning wildly, and the exhaust device at the rear spurted out, pulling out a smoke screen composed of high-temperature steam and burning waste, which melted into the air the next moment. The terrifying roar caused by high-pressure steam spraying into the air could be heard clearly even though they were so far away.
At this moment, they really wake up.
"Quick! Defense formation, military formation defense shield! Counter-impact shield...!"
The older monk woke up from his astonishment and ordered the two sworn brothers to release the fighting spells in the military formation like him to resist the collision of the incoming target.
They were neighing.
They are roaring.
They're running wild.
Until they hit the enemy line.
