Chapter 453 Malice From Another World (2.7k)

The airship enters the attack channel and confirms the altitude.

30,000 people.

It is not cost-effective to deploy steam mechanized soldiers and infantry troops over long distances without outposts to provide supplies.

It is not a cost-effective solution.

They need to maintain a supply line spanning hundreds of kilometers and provide enough ammunition and supplies for the fierce war on the front line.

[Industrial Institute Clock]

The dark gray pendulum standing on the ground, with continuous gears and heavy hammers, can produce uncontrolled flesh turbine troops... or in other words, produce flesh-rune cores that can manufacture flesh turbines.

This is a very expensive disposable unit.

Because its production cost is exactly the same as that of a steam mechanized soldier-these flesh-rune cores must belong to their own carriers. The stronger the carrier, the stronger the combat effectiveness they can exert.

But it is uncontrollable.

After waking up, they are out of control and cannot be recovered.

Each deployment means the loss of a steam mechanized soldier, sixty flesh-turbine steam mechanized soldiers

Of course, its combat capability is absolutely worth its price.

The flesh and blood core produced by the Mist Bell Tower was installed in the body of the steam machine soldier, waiting for a wake-up command in a dormant state.

Ground.

Bombing.

The other lords were awakened from their memories before the crossing, and their deep consciousness instincts told them that they should disperse and avoid damage from the enemy in the air to the greatest extent.

The other infantry and followers also realized that these airship troops that did not belong to them did not seem to come with good intentions.

The instinct from the creatures made them realize the current situation after a short stagnation. These veterans of various races who had experienced the battlefield would not be scared by such a small surprise attack.

The gathered queues began to flee in all directions and began to avoid the direction of these airships.

Without heavy weapons, they had no power to fight back against the airships of other forces... They could not expect to use bows and crossbows to fight against the airships that were obviously equipped with additional armor plates, right?

Even cannon fodder knew that there were some things they could not deal with, not to mention that consumable cannon fodder did not have much morale.

Not dying doesn't mean they can ignore pain, the pain of death.

Watching these fleets wrapped in additional armor descending from the high-altitude clouds, the metal-shelled airships slowly adjusted their descent posture.

Lupo, who was present, suddenly realized that something was wrong. It was a strange and familiar feeling rising from the bottom of his heart.

That inexplicable familiarity.

Where has he seen this unit style before?

And Xu Ling and Xu Yan, who were farther away, didn't have much contact, so they didn't have such a sensitive feeling as Lupo.

He took a deep breath and prayed that his premonition would not come true... He was ambushed when he first encountered him. Now, although these airships were raiding, they chose to launch the attack during the day when the vision was excellent.

"Don't be afraid! Firmly defend your own fronts and don't retreat a step!"

Zhang Ao, the leader of the Ring Island Alliance.

That was his ability, the ability of the equipment obtained through the equipment in the mission book.

'The flag of command can amplify the holder's voice to a radius of 3 kilometers, and all friendly forces can hear the holder's command. ’

It can directly transmit sound to all friendly units in the area. It is a very powerful battlefield support equipment, which can truly achieve the operation of "the muzzle of the machine gun of the third row of the second company of the first battalion is five centimeters to the left".

The only limitation is that it can only be used for one hour a day.

Zhang Ao knows very well that the fifth era is the highest limit of this stage. No matter how strong the opponent is, it will not exceed the limit of the fifth era.

They should not be unable to defeat the opponent with enough lords of the third and fourth eras to consume.

"They only have 24 small airships! Deploy at most 2,000 infantry. When our ships react, we can easily deal with them..."

Ha, if there are only infantry...

And judging from the style of this ship, it should be a civilized lord on the technical side. He has fought against lords on the technical side in the exercise battlefield. The various magic and rune bonuses that the opponent lacks can only be supplemented by technology.

So what if they are a little more advanced than themselves? They are fighting against advanced civilizations.

There is a sense of accomplishment when the weak defeat the strong, haha.

"Audrey, go and wake up those magic constructs and let these ignorant guys see how powerful we are."

Zhang Ao looked at his deputy Audrey. This was the mayor of the city-state he conquered. With her help, he could achieve his current position.

The other party threw a wink, turned around and disappeared in the crowd of people holding guns and waiting.

With a city-state as his backing, and enough lords in his camp...

Even if these airships look expensive, they have no advantage in size, so they can only be exploratory attack troops.

He has made his own judgment in his heart.

His words significantly boosted the morale of the troops on the sky island who were showing signs of retreat, and the elf supervisors raised their weapons again against the faces of the retreating soldiers.

Retreat, no.

Even if you die here, you can't flee and attack the defense line behind.

Your lives can also be used to exchange for enemy bombs.

There is no need to consider the psychological condition of the cannon fodder. It is enough to have a supervisory team to push them to the front line. Elves with stronger physical fitness are very suitable for the work of the supervisory team, they are stronger and more flexible.

The somewhat panicked queue slowly returned to a resisting queue under Zhang Ao's command.

Zhang Ao looked at the troops that had restored their formation, and felt more confident.

Think of it as an exercise, an actual combat drill to train your own alliance's legion-level operations.

No, it's not that simple...

Lupo looked at Zhang Ao, a member of the Round Island Alliance who was standing in the safest place and used his own equipment to issue orders to the troops who had arrived at the Sky Island outpost, and began to command his spearmen and spider-shaped structures to retreat backwards.

Let the cheap cannon fodder pikemen stand in the front and become the human shields of your own troops. The most numerous cannon fodder troops are all kinds of cheap pikemen.

With the most comprehensive battlefield adaptability and the lowest training cost, the pikemen ranked first as cannon fodder, followed by the longbowmen who used inferior longbows.

Swallowing, a hint of timidity began to rise in my heart.

The psychological shadow caused by some things cannot be offset by courage.

It would be better for him to retain a little bit of his strength.

Something is wrong, this weird feeling.

"Brother, the giant stag is ready...that coward Lupo has retreated, should we..."

Xu Ling felt that something was wrong, but she had never encountered Ji Lin head-on, and she was not as sensitive as Lu Bo.

"Should we..."

Should we retreat?

"Okay, hide your heavy cavalry and wait for the opponent to descend."

Xu Yan took a deep breath and found that his reaction was a little slower and he was actually standing at the protrusion of the entire defense line.

Lupo relied on his spider-shaped machine beast to retreat to a safe area.

Then they can't stay here. Elite troops like them shouldn't be wasted here.

"Let's go back a little and let the cannon fodder go try it first and see the lords of the Island Around the Island Alliance..."

"Sir, reach the predetermined height!"

Height one hundred meters.

"After receiving the order, all transport ships are unlocked and ready to release combat units."

Hard lock released.

In the uneasy sight of the ground garrison, the floating fleet stopped at a predetermined height and made no move forward.

The airdrop they were waiting for didn't happen, and the bombing they were waiting for didn't happen either.

Sixty containers fell in front of the lines.

The black fleet stopped in the sky, and one heavy wooden box after another slowed down and landed with the help of floating stones... Of course, it doesn't matter if it's damaged, it doesn't matter if it's broken.

The ‘cargo’ they carry has sufficient self-healing capabilities.

The flesh and blood core will reintegrate its body, ultimately reshape its frame, and inject the broken body with the hostile vitality of a living thing.

The dormant core of flesh awaits the command to awaken, just as it lurked among the automatons of New London.

"The first actual combat test of the Flesh Turbine has begun, and all units are preparing to observe and record it."

The officer in charge of the plan pulled down the radio transmission device, and the spreading wave swept through each container.

Now, the wake-up command is issued.

The crystal core wrapped with scarlet blood greedily absorbed the radiance of the sun. The spreading flesh shattered the organic matter storage box prepared for them in the container. The sleeping steam engine began to rotate rapidly to provide additional power for this monster.

Mechanical, devouring, assimilating.

Bright blue electric light flashed along the link of its right arm, and the steam hydraulic pipes slowly rotated in the web of flesh and blood. It was taking over the mechanical parts belonging to the steam soldier.

The breath of nature, the breath of life, the breath of the enemy.

The long iron-gray arm of the machine covered in flesh and blood penetrated the container containing it, and the flesh-and-blood turbine let out its first hoarse roar at the peaceful world.
