Chapter 12 – As though Crushing Dry Weeds and Smashing Rotten Wood
free(w)ebnov(e)lTranslator: Xaiomoge
After contemplating for a moment, Yang Feng had the artillery robots and the gunner robots hide, and then placed 400 bladed robots on the road. If it wasn’t necessary, Yang Feng didn’t intend to deploy the artillery robots and the gunner robots in this battle.
In the Turandot Subcontinent, Warlocks had mysterious and powerful powers. Although the Warlock group Black Cottage was already considered a tyrant in the Fernandro Principality, but there were still many other Warlock groups no less powerful than the Warlock group Black Cottage. With one more trump card, Yang Feng could catch the opponent off-guard the next time he confronted another Warlock group.
About 10 minutes later, a squad of mounted scouts appeared on the road.
When the group of scouts saw the 400 bladed robots standing orderly in the middle of the road, they quickly turned around and galloped towards the rear.
Unconvinced by what he heard, Ryuk, the commander of the Giant Stone City’s army, asked a scout: “What, you’re saying that the bandits of the Black Rock Town are lined up neatly in the middle of the road?”
The Giant Stone City dispatched all of its elites plus 50 heavy cavalrymen as well as a dozen Apprentice Warlocks. With this powerful force, even if he faced 10,000 bandits, Ryuk would still have the confidence to defeat them. In his view, the worst case scenario was the bandits holing themselves up in the Black Rock Town. The bandits, however, came out to fight, and even stood confidently in the middle of the road. This was extremely foolish, and it left him very skeptical regarding the report of the scouts.
The scout captain said quickly: “Yes! Sir Commander! If you don’t believe me, you can ask my men!”
Ryuk frowned and turned pensive. With his many years of experience, he felt that something was wrong.
The close to 2-meter-tall, bear-like Rooney said disdainfully: “Ryuk, it’s just some moron who obtained some Warlock inheritance by a fluke! With us here, he can’t do anything. Such morons sprout up from time to time alike weeds no matter how many are killed.”
Ryuk nodded, waved his hand, and commanded: “Proceed onward!”
The army of the Giant Stone City continued to move forward. Soon, they saw the 400 bladed robots standing neatly in the middle of the road.
Ryuk frowned when he saw the 400 bladed robots stand neatly. Such a disciplined army was the toughest opponent.
“Heavy cavalry! Charge!” Ordered Ryuk.
Having the heavy cavalry charge at the opponent and tear open the opponent’s defenses was the most basic tactic to deal with infantry. Once the defenses of the infantry was torn apart by the tank-like heavy cavalry, the infantry’s fate would be to get massacred.
The 50 heavy cavalrymen were covered in heavy armor, man and mount alike. Holding 3-meter-long steel lances, the 50 human-shaped tanks urged their mounts and gradually accelerated and charged at the 400 bladed robots in an orderly formation.
The armor of the 50 heavy cavalrymen weighed over 100 kilograms. Their mounts weren’t ordinary horses, but wildebeests with demonic bloodline. Only the wildebeests with demonic bloodline were able to wear armor while carrying heavy cavalrymen weighing close to 200 kilograms.
The heavy cavalrymen, except when coming across a Warlock, were practically invincible on the battlefield. They were very formidable. Meanwhile, heavy cavalrymen were exceedingly difficult to support. The entire Giant Stone City only had 100 of them. The 50 heavy cavalrymen could defeat a 1,000-strong elite army.
Faced with the charge of the 50 heavy cavalrymen, the 400 bladed robots also charged at the opponent.
“Are they mad?” Incredulity flashed in the eyes of the Giant Stone City’s people when they saw the 400 bladed robots charge towards the 50 heavy cavalrymen.
Even an Earth Knight wouldn’t dare to directly face the charge of a heavy cavalryman.
Under everyone’s incredulous gazes, the two groups collided fiercely. freewebnove(l)
With sardonic smiles on their faces, the 50 heavy cavalrymen impaled the steel-forged bladed robots with their 3-meter-long lances.
In the next moment, however, the smiles on the faces of the heavy cavalrymen froze. The impaled bladed robots didn’t die. Expressionless, they brandished their alloy battle blades and ruthlessly slashed at the heavy cavalrymen.
The heavy armor along with man a mount were split open by the level-4 bladed robots, and blood splashed about. In less than a minute, the 50 heavy cavalrymen of the Giant Stone City were killed to a man by the level-4 bladed robots.
When they saw the 50 heavy cavalrymen being easily slashed to pieces by the level-4 bladed robots, the bodies of the soldiers of the Giant Stone City turned ice-cold. Some of the new recruits even had their legs tremble, and turned pale.
Ryuk’s face turned pale. Looking at the 400 bladed robots, his eyes flashed with fear.
The thin and refined-looking Jaime stared at the exposed wires on the chests of the impaled level-4 bladed robots. Suddenly, his face fell, and he cried out: “Golems! Those aren’t humans, but golems! Fuck! To have 400 golems! Motherfucker, that’s not something we can resist! Retreat!”
Golems were battle weapons refined by Alchemists. The fighting strength of each golem was comparable to that of a human Knight rank powerhouse. Besides, they were more dauntless and more difficult to deal with than human Knights.
As a level-3 Apprentice Warlock, Jaime could easily kill a golem one-on-one. But against 400 golems, he would be easily sliced and diced.
Jaime just finished speaking, when he waved his hand, and a black light flashed, and a 3-meter-long black locust with reins appeared in front of him. With a flick of his body, he jumped onto the enormous black locust.
With a forceful jump, the enormous black locust crossed a dozen meters, and then escaped into the distance with a frightening speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
Following Jaime’s decisive escape, the other Apprentice Warlocks of the Black Cottage also released enormous black locusts, mounted them, and fled into the distance.
As long as you advanced to an Apprentice Warlock, then no matter where you went in the Turandot Subcontinent, you would receive recruitment offers from aristocrats, and subsequently lead a comfortable and prosperous life. Seeing that things went south, the Apprentice Warlocks naturally wouldn’t sacrifice themselves for the Giant Stone City.
When the Apprentice Warlocks escaped, the 5,000 auxiliary troops in the rear fell apart and fled in every which way.
“A bunch of incompetent fools!” Commander Ryuk cursed in a low voice, and then looked at the expressionless blood-covered 400 bladed robots, which didn’t exude any killing intent yet still struck fear into people’s hearts, rushing over.
