Chapter 226: Cannon Fodder
"Sir, this thing is actually a goblin's technology and has a lot of room for improvement. If you want to use it to build a magic tower, don't rush it."
"Of course I'm not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry."
"I'm not in a hurry either. I already have one magic tower."
The principal of Metatterin just smiled and said, "When you come back from the border, come to me directly and talk about the chaos barrier."
After saying this, he took out the water of fate and returned it to Xia He.
The principal agreed to Xia He's request. He specially prepared twenty elite mercenaries for Xia He. The mercenary captain led by him was a magic warrior at level 30, and his spell casting level had reached level 20. This was when he learned magic first and confirmed that he would not achieve success, he changed his job as a warrior.
Few people can make such a choice. Life is short, and not many people will suffer from the hardships of starting over again.
This man practiced again from a level 20 mage, learned warrior skills, and reached level 30. Compared to legends, nothing is true, but among ordinary masters, it is truly unprecedented.
Twenty academy mercenaries, Xia He brought four more students, class monitors Ye Lina, Okini, Pukin, and Cole.
On the academy's airship field, Xia He summoned everyone together and said, "For this mission, my goal is to bring back some samples of invaders from another world, not to destroy these things. Send the map to you. If you look carefully, you will not be allowed to enter the dangerous areas I marked."
"Yes." The students and mercenaries agreed.
"If I'm not here, Freya will command. Freya will be there, Medielli will command. We are not here, Ye Lina will command." Xia He said, and sent the map down.
Paper maps have no magic attributes, and use colors to distinguish the height of the terrain and have complex lines.
The airship soared into the air, pulled up at an extremely fast speed, and sprayed out thick black smoke. The airship was shocking violently and was not comfortable at all. This is military goods. The first thing to ensure is safety, the second thing to ensure is performance, and comfort is the last thing to consider.
Compared with the one Xia He had ridden before, this airship had an airbag on it, and it also had a pair of fixed wings, some of which were like an ancient aircraft in the world of God's Zhou. However, the magic array blessed on the wings was quite exquisite, allowing the airship not only to fly quickly, but also to flexibly turn in the air.
The airship was raised to a height of more than 2,000 meters, and then it corrected its direction and flew towards the boundary.
Xia He checked the information again. Metatterin gave him a little more information and had sample analysis of other creatures. Most of these other creatures are made of metal machinery and have magic cores. Although they have no soul, they have strong computing and analysis capabilities and can fight independently.
There are also some creatures whose core is flesh and blood structure. When combined with metal machinery, it is much more complex and its combat power is more fierce.
Xia He was not surprised by this mechanical creature because of his knowledge of the world of Shenzhou. The Emperor of Shenzhou could create similar things.
What cannot be created is to allow these things to have life and be copied at high speed.
This is absolutely not allowed. If this is done, mechanical life will soon eat up a world. The self-replication of machinery must be controlled, which is the basic common sense of all Shenzhou people.
And this invasion of the other world is not the product of technology being out of control. Those creatures that combine flesh and blood and machinery definitely have souls.
Xia He analyzed the data for a while and then gathered everyone over and said, "Although the metal projectile attack of creatures from other worlds is difficult to break the defense, their attack is not high, and your combat energy and magic power are consumed a lot. So if a battle occurs, you must use a shield to defend. Their light attack is very powerful, but it is very harmful to your eyes, so you have to wear goggles throughout the process."
The mercenaries were also listening patiently, even if they were experienced and experienced, they would obey the magician's arrangements.
"It's actually very simple. I want to clean these things on the periphery, mainly attacking them with frozen rays, freezing them, and then bringing them back to the sample. If you try to fight with other means, I will collect your battle images. Twenty of you protect the four magicians and act together."
Everyone began to look at the map quietly and remember the most dangerous areas.
When it was dark, the airship entered the mountains and then landed at the front camp arranged by Metatrim. This is the last place where you can land the airship. Further inside, the terrain is complex and the airflow is chaotic, so the airship will be very expensive.
Xiahe asked the students to rest for three hours in the camp, and then set off after a meditation.
The mercenaries also had a simple meal. Xia He walked around the camp and found that the camp was full of wooden towers. The Eye of the Mage was suspended on the top of the wooden tower, and shield walls were arranged on all sides of the top floor, and a magic crossbow that could be lifted and lowered in the middle.
Above the camp, metal bullets roared past, and the magic crossbow rose up and fought back in the distance.
Each time you fight back, you can shoot an invader, which is very efficient. However, a magic crossbow with such a long attack distance will cost about a few gold coins.
The invader's metal bullet is quite low, and the cost of one piece will not exceed ten copper coins.
The flight speed of those metal bullets will not exceed one thousand meters per second, and some will even be only four or five hundred meters. For the magician, it can be completely responsive.
The defense ability of the shield wall is not higher than that of magic. Many bullets attack on the shield wall of the wooden tower are embedded in the wooden shield. However, after the wooden shield has suffered dozens of attacks, it will have a fragile area, which will easily collapse if it is not repaired.
Xia He had almost finished his observation. The students had finished meditation, so Xia He led his team to leave the camp and go deep into the mountains.
The location close to the camp, even if it is cleaned up, more invasive creatures will soon approach.
Xiahe released an Eye of the Frost Giant, and the team walked along the path. The Eye of the Frost Giant was observed from all sides and soon discovered the target. In the woods on the hillside, dozens of metal mechanical lives approached sneakily.
These metal lives, walking upright, are like metal magic figures, but are even thinner.
They had three eyes that were radiating red on their faces, and a long weapon on their metal arms, and a metal round tube in front of them.
It was such an inefficient thing, Xia He thought to himself and told the team the information.
The team turned around and rushed towards the hillside. The metal life projectiles were attacking in a straight line and could not turn. If they fought in the woods, they relied on the metal knives equipped at the end of the weapon to fight hand-to-hand.
If it is a magician's metal golem, the structure will be thicker, with strong defense, and have long-range attack methods and hand-to-hand combat capabilities? It will definitely be much stronger than the thin bamboo pole in front of you.
After the invader was confirmed to have been discovered, he accelerated his pace. Ten metal robots rushed up, the rest raised their weapons, and the others raised their weapons, wanting to aim. However, the sparse woods were not suitable for straight-line attacks. Ye Lina, who was rushing in front, tried to find cover and not give the other party a chance to aim.
One hundred meters, eighty meters, sixty meters...
When the distance was close to fifty meters, Ye Lina gave up seclusion and suddenly appeared, and a tiny blue ice cone flew out of her hand. The ice cone blocked a raised muzzle like lightning, and she heard an explosion in the metal robot's weapon.
The red mechanical eyes flashed rapidly, and two fireballs exploded, blowing four robots who rushed to the front. The mercenaries took their bows and arrows one after another and began to attack at a distance of fifty meters. The metal robots in the front row raised their weapons and saw metal projectiles whistling out of the metal round tube.
The mercenary raised his shield and exported his battle energy, blocking Ye Lina.
Ye Lina was excited. She was the first time she was the leader to complete a battle.
Ice cone, wind blade, fireball!
She attacked in an orderly manner, and the ice cones were in the smallest form, directly penetrated into the robot's barrel. The dense metal bullets hit the warrior's shield and were bounced away by the shield. The warrior curled up, feeling the impact from the shield, and was calm.
This feels like facing a junior archer, on the battlefield, it is like cannon fodder, but the attack distance and attack frequency are not as high as those robots.
The wooded area is not suitable for robots to fight. Most of the metal projectiles in the distance are blocked by trees and cannot form effective attacks. These mercenaries are veterans, with rich training experience and practical experience, and use a few shields to block the narrow attack channel.
After the high-quality shield is filled with combat energy, its defense is no lower than that of the metal shield and it has good portability. High-level warriors will prepare a piece.
The robots in the distance saw that the gun and bullet attack were ineffective, and all rushed up with weapons and tried to fight hand in hand.
Ye Lina calmly released the magic, and the rest watched the whole process.
Dingding...
The ice cone hits the robot's joints, and the robot's joints freeze. When running at high speed, you will hear a crackling sound inside, and then you will roll to the ground.
The first ten metal robots that approached were all knocked down to the ground, some inserted several arrows into their faces, some had their legs broken, and some had their heads cut off by the wind blade.
Ye Lina summoned a dirt puppet, rushed up, and fought with the robot. Dozens of huge wounds were quickly cut out of the dirt puppet's body. However, it hugged a robot, and the robot quickly petrified and then it smashed its chest with a punch.
The Frost Giant's Eye lowered, Xia He took action, and the last four robots were hit by the frozen ray, and the magic of level 20 was used to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers. The robot was frozen instantly. Xia He came forward and put the frozen four robots into his badge.
Most of the robots lying on the ground are not dead yet, but have lost their combat ability.
