Chapter 43: The Body of Steel

This is the first time we used this super weapon. We didn't know how powerful this thing is before, but this time, its power is obviously a bit surprising. All of us misjudged the damage radius of the super weapon. Although I knew from the beginning that this thing was not powerful, there was still a huge gap between reality and speculation.

The halo was moving forward all the way, and there was nothing to resist its advance. Based on the point where the light ball shot out by the super weapon exploded, the halo always spread along the surface in a horizontal state, and everything above this height was flattened! The forest instantly disappeared, and even the mountain peaks could not stop it from moving forward. The entire ground below Aisinger seemed to have been specially leveled, looking like an empty airport.

The huge ring of destruction continued to spread for 1 minute and 30 seconds before it suddenly stopped, leaving a burning wall of flames where it stopped. The destroyed area was almost four times larger than Esinger. This area can be clearly seen from Esinger in the air. With the center of the super weapon, the circular area with a radius of 33,000 meters was completely swept away, and nothing was left except the burnt ground. The player's corpse, forest, beast, hill, and all the surface objects above the explosion reference point were gone. The halo was almost 4 meters high, and Esinger was surrounded by low hills, so there was no one left. If a taller mountain was preserved.

One of our members sighed until this time: "I heard people say that shave the ground, but this time I've seen it! This shave is so clean!"

The member's words made everyone react, and Rose quickly ordered: "Super weapons storage, close the muzzle gate, lower the height of the city. Send all patrol pairs to see if there are any living people."

The huge super weapon slowly contracted into the city, and the super gate slowly closed the passage.

"The super weapon regression ends."

"The urban armored layer is closed."

"The waterproof layer is closed."

"Super Weapon Locked."

"Weapon power cuts off, power interface separation is completed."

“Forced Cooling Program Opens.”

“Coolant injection is completed.”

"Everything functions are normal, super weapon storage is completed, and the bottom power is completely cut."

Although our members are using this guy for the first time, the operation is quite regular. After the storage of the super weapon is completed, it is filled with a lot of water and enters the weapon room. The attributes say that the super weapon will heat up after it is launched and needs to be cooled quickly, so we chose to water it because the cooling water is cheaper than refrigerant.

Before the city landed, a large number of ghost soldiers jumped down from the city. These heavy attack beetles spread out very quickly, and the surrounding land was immediately covered by black beetles. They searched every place to confirm the destructive power of super weapons.

There is a science called probability science. According to this probability science, everything is possible, but it is just a matter of probability size. Now it seems that this is a very correct view. Aisinger's super weapon successfully destroyed the enemy's legion, but it did not kill everyone. The ghost soldier insect actually discovered the survivor.

At first, everyone thought it was a special situation to protect this person, but soon more people were discovered. A total of more than 300 players were found fainting in various places, and other people were not even left with scum.

Our technicians summarized the location where these people were found and quickly understood why these people were not eliminated like others, and we also learned a very important feature of superweapons. After continuing to collect a large number of on-site situations, the researchers in charge roughly determined the working conditions of superweapons.

The super weapon fires a dazzling light ball, but because of its very fast speed, everyone sees a light column. This light ball will explode after leaving the designated distance from the muzzle, and then generate a halo that diffuses horizontally to the surroundings. The cross-sectional diameter of the halo is 4 meters, and it is very stable. The halo will expand all the way and destroy everything it touches, but this halo will not hurt things it cannot touch. The survivors who just discovered are basically lying in the hole in the pit, which is lower than the height of the ground anyway, and the halo passes above them but does not touch them. However, the temperature of this halo is very high, and the natural shock wave generated by the high temperature shocks the nearby players, but they are more lucky to not lie on the ground but are not touched by the halo in the pit.

Judging from the power of the explosion, this halo should be invincible because nothing is left along the way. Judging from the range and duration of the destruction, the expansion speed of the halo exceeds the speed of sound, and it will not slow down because it touches something. The halo from Esinger's perspective is always very standard. If the speed changes due to encountering different matter, it should not be a circle.

In short, the first weapon experiment was quite successful. Not only did it cover a large area, but it also had a large power beyond imagination. The only disadvantage was probably the funds. This damn thing used up a magic crystal worth 200,000 crystal coins in one launch. It would be better not to use it in the future. It would be a waste of money! This time it will be a half-power launch, and if it is full power, it will be more money.

At this time, I was still waiting outside Yaori City. Like me, everyone was waiting on the periphery of their respective targets. According to the plan in advance, Rose waited for those guys to start siege before notifying us to attack. In this way, even if the enemy wanted to return to aid, they would have to go back and forth within the firepower range of Aisinger. I believe that such a toss would reduce their personnel by at least one third. However, the launch of the super weapon was somewhat unexpected. We did not expect the enemy to be wiped out. I had estimated that the super weapon was extremely powerful, but we did not expect it to wipe out the enemy at all.

In fact, this time it was entirely caused by the enemy's ignorance. The 4-meter-high aura is not insurmountable. As long as there is a suitable magic pet, it is no problem to skip this height. If you can fly, it will be even more problematic. In the game, many players here can jump three or four meters high by themselves, and they should be able to avoid the halo. Even if you can't jump over it, you can dig a pit to hide it. As long as you are not touched, there is no problem. Super weapons must be cooled every time they launch, and the interval is as long as 8 hours. It is only suitable for war in a war. When the enemy really attacks the city wall, it will be useless. In our opinion, this super weapon should be a weapon for cities, because the building will not dodge, and as long as the bottom layer is cut off by 4 meters, no matter how high the top is, it will still be done. If Aisinger can move in the future, it will definitely be very good to stop at the enemy's head.

Rose informed us on our War Channel, which is a public channel for the Allied side during war mode, and those helpers we invited can also be heard. "The enemy has been wiped out."

"What?" Feng Yinpiaomiao was the first to scream.

Rose had to repeat: "We used the divine punishment. This is the first time we launched, and the effect is terrifying. Two million players only survived about 300."

Ashufude exclaimed: "Destroy 2 million people at once? What is this?"

I explained to him on the channel: "Divine punishment is a super weapon rewarded by the system. It cannot be copied or imitated. This is the first test shot."

Rose said: "No matter what, those people are gone now. It will take 12 hours to die within the siege war to log in again. You should move quickly and eliminate all the cities within 12 hours."

I immediately shouted, "Yes, yes, work quickly, remember that there are a bunch of crystal coins in front of you, and whether you can get them depends on you."

"For the sake of crystal coins, rush!" Those 'mercenaries' were really frank and started charging after shouting slogans.

I also started to direct the operation when exiting the channel. The first thing I need to do is to use the Light of Destruction to destroy the city's defense facilities. It seems that I have only used the Light of Destruction once so far, and this is the second time I use it.

A black light fell from the sky and shone directly above the huge city. Yaori City immediately showed abnormalities. There were some small problems in the turrets of all sizes at the same time, and even the city walls had cracks.

I pointed forward with eternity: "Press fire!"

Boom! The enemy fired the first shot, but our cannon was only one second slower. As soon as both sides came up, they started to bombard the heavy artillery.

Suddenly, a whistle-like roar came through the air, and I knew it was a shell. No matter how fast I reacted, it was absolutely impossible to avoid the shells. The Phantom opened the mercury shield to protect me, Ye Ying and Ji Xiang, who rode in front of me, but we all knew that the mercury shield could not block such large-caliber shells. I did block the solid lead shells fired with old cannons in the past, but that kind of cannon was very different from now! And that kind of cannon was not as big as that.

As we expected, the shell hit our mercury shield, and a thud fell at Ye Ying's feet, smashing a small hole in the ground. The shell was smoking on the ground, but there was no reaction.

The Phantom removed the shield and we quickly stayed away from the shell to prevent it from delaying. But after a long time, the guy still didn't move. A player standing next to me said, "It seems like a dud!"

I looked at the auspiciousness in front of me, and probably his lucky attribute had happened again. I rarely heard of duds.

We won quite a victory in the artillery battle, mainly because I made a bold attempt. I gathered all the cannons together and let Jixiang stand in the middle. For this reason, I blacked 5 magic crystals by Jixiang. We didn't hide, so we piled the cannons on the plains to shoot at them. The opponent's gunner immediately came to his senses when he saw such a big target, and the shells greeted us. It was said that our cannons were so concentrated that the opponent could kill all our cannons as long as they hit two or three shots, but they had to hit them first.

Since Jixiang stood in the middle of the cannon group and ate magic crystals, wind began to rise around. The wind direction was squirting randomly from southeast to northwest and yelling loudly. The opponent's shells were blown around by the wind, either far or near, or even near, but they could not hit the target anyway. It was rare to hit a few shots, and they were all stinky bombs. They smashed our cannon protective shield and did not explode. The opponent's commander wanted to commit suicide.

Our gunners were worried that something might happen like this, but later they discovered the other party’s situation and started to fire with confidence. However, I told them that the target was limited to the city walls and defense facilities, and the city had to sell it for money, and no one would ask for it if it was blown up.

After a period of gun battle, there were not many guns left on the opponent's guns, but those guns were hidden behind the building. We had the wrong shooting angle and could not hit it, but it could hit us. There was no way, but Jixiang still wanted to take action. He exchanged the price of one gun and one magic crystal, and asked Jixiang to help adjust the angle. Jixiang moved it up and let me give the magic crystal stone.

The gunner looked at the numbers on the ballistic sight: "Oh my god? The coordinates are all tilted outside the city. Can this hit it?"

Jixiang rushed back to the cannon position and waved his claws to load the shells. I nodded and the member immediately loaded the shells. Jixiang jumped to the next to the firing handle, jumped up and pulled it, and the shells flew out with a bang. The flight direction of the shells was indeed outrageous, but as soon as the shells were out, a strong wind blew the shells back. A ball of black smoke rose in the city, and the cannon that we could not hit was turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Jixiang rushed back to me with his chubby claws, and I gave him a magic crystal stone helplessly.

Seeing that the last threat was also killed, I immediately commanded the troops to attack. "Start the air blockade."

Our spear immediately took off, and the dragon flew up. Without urban defense facilities, our air force did not have to worry about the attack of ground weapons, and the opponent's air power could almost be ignored. The only dozens of flying creatures were shot down by the spear as soon as they rose into the air, which was not of the same level at all.

The dragon formation without any enemies arrived above the city. Although there were only 20 totem dragons and my 4 magic pet dragons, the dragons were dragons, and the small number did not mean that they had no lethality. It would be easier to say that my magic pet level was relatively low. Those totems were full of level 1,000, and their combat power was extremely terrifying. Their mission was to clear the NPC guards.

I only have 500 players, most of them are technical soldiers, and the rest are only relying on the sub-dragon cavalry and puppets. There is no problem with dealing with players, and it is not enough to deal with those guards.

The battle in the city was hot, and the outside was not at ease. The other party actually gave up the city street fighting and released the patrol team out of the city. A whole team of NPC cavalry rushed towards our team.

"You 10, go and kill them." The puppets found in the Mother Earth Temple in Switzerland are very powerful in combat. I want to know how effective the puppets we imitate are, but to ensure safety, I only sent 10 out.

Ten magic puppets turned around and faced the enemy in a unified movement. All magic puppets were wearing heavy armor stamped from a whole piece of ink steel, and were carrying a heavy shield with a unique shape of 10 cm. Under the shield, there was also a canine-toothed sword that was more than two meters long and weighed 230 kilograms diagonally inserted. The battle weight of each magic puppet was two and a half tons, almost reaching the weight of a minivan. It was built so heavy that they were strong enough. The magic puppets had a high power and slow speed. They were focused on absolute attack and absolute defense. If you couldn't touch it, you would have to end it once.

The puppet walked out of the queue to face the knights over there. The NPC patrol knight in Yaori City is a level 850 Holy Emblem Knight. It is a heavy knight with slow speed but very powerful attack and defense. There are heavy troops on both sides, it depends on who is stronger.

The 200 Holy Emblem Knights began to accelerate 800 meters away from the puppet. Their armor was too heavy, and the unicorns under their stride could not sprint at full speed for too long. In order to save strength, they had to start charging within 800, otherwise the mount would be exhausted before they reached the enemy.

The puppets did not accelerate and still slowly approached the enemy. The knights on the opposite side quickly approached a distance of 400 meters. They lined up into a 10-row 20-row square array to accelerate further. As the distance got closer, the three-meter-long knight gun was also mounted by them, and the bright spear tip was extended in front to be ready to penetrate the enemy's body at any time.

We were very nervous when we watched it from behind. Everyone was unsure of the combat power of the wizard, after all, it was the first experiment.

The puppets had no idea what fear was. They didn't even take the shield and walked forward straight.

"Why don't they use weapons?" The members around me couldn't help it.

I shook my head: "I don't know. These things are experimental products, and they are not completely imitated. I don't know much about how they work!"

Seeing that the distance was close to 50 meters, the puppets suddenly pulled out the giant sword behind them and took the shield down, and then began to charge forward in an orderly manner. When the puppet charged, they turned slightly to the right, and put their left shoulders in front, and this position was where they were erecting the shield. The puppet's right hand held the giant sword behind them, and his body bent slightly and rushed forward.

The knights on the opposite side also entered the final stage, and their speed had reached the fastest, and the heavy troops on both sides instantly crossed the distance of 50 meters.

When, this is the first sound. The front row of the knight gun accurately hit the magic puppet's shield, followed by a neat "squeak". The spear in the first row was bent by huge force at the same time, and the metal gun body was broken into two pieces. Then there was a row of dull "When... Boom". The magic puppet and the unicorn in heavy armor collided violently.

A unicorn weighs about 350 kilograms, a knight is about 75 kilograms, a full set of heavy knight equipment is 200 kilograms, and a mount is 150 kilograms, which means that a Holy Emblem Knight's total weight is 775 kilograms, while a magic puppet is two and a half tons, which is 2,500 kilograms. According to this ratio, the knight's speed must be at least three times that of the magic puppet to have hope of knocking the magic puppet over. Unfortunately, the knight's speed is actually less than twice that of the magic puppet.

After a rumbling sound, the unicorn's hissing and metal deformation sounds. The first row of unicorns was hit back by the puppet, and the puppet just paused for a moment and stood firm. But the knights on the unicorn were in trouble. They all flew out and fell to the sky due to inertia. On the surface, the puppet won, but war was not a sports competition. The one-on-one fair principle does not apply to the battlefield. Although the knights could not hit the puppet, there were many people. Although the first row of knights were knocked over, they stopped the puppet's pace.

The second row of knights came through the gap in the first row and violently hit the puppet. Similarly, their knight guns were also broken, and they all fell a big hit, but the puppet was knocked down. The third row, the fourth row, to the 20th row behind, rushed up mercilessly and stepped on the puppets, including their own two rows of companions.

We were all so nervous when we stood outside watching, especially me. The witch who spent so much money was not trash, right?

By the time the remaining 18 rows rushed over, only four of the Holy Emblem Knights who fell in the first two rows were still alive, and the rest were all stepped into meat paste by their companions, and none of the unicorns were alive, and they were all trampled into pieces.

Just as the knights rushed over and began to turn around, the ground moved. The black armor suddenly sat up, and then they began to look for their shields and weapons. After getting the weapons and shields, the puppet sat up again. The 10 puppets were not damaged at all except for their horseshoe marks and dirt and blood stains.

When they got up again, the knights looked at each other, and then commanded their mounts to trot closer to the puppet. It seemed that they also understood that charging alone could not defeat the puppet. This time they used close combat instead.

I was very happy to watch on the side. If you don’t watch anything else, the defensive power of the puppet is at least qualified. The assault combat power of the heavy cavalry should be quite terrifying. It’s okay, which means that the defense has passed. In fact, today’s main task is to test the puppet rather than seize the city. No matter how high the defense power of the empty city is, if no one guards me, isn’t it still allowed me to enter and exit at will?

I can't determine the actual situation of the puppet just by seeing the appearance. I opened the guild function interface and saw the details of the puppet in the defense facilities column. After a brief check, the attack just now caused damage to the puppet's body, but the problem is not big. This shows that the internal structure's durability is reduced by 1 point, only the external armor has slight damage, and the shield has also reduced the durability by 10 points. The durability of each part of the puppet is as high as more than 100,000, and 10 points of damage can be ignored.

The knights rushed back. This time they changed into heavy swords, probably because they realized that the spear was too easy to break. The puppet also changed its tactics this time. They carried the shield and left only the giant sword. After changing equipment, the knights rushed to the front. This time they used some tricks. They divided and surrounded the puppets and kept dispersing them around. I looked around from the side and shook my head. The puppet's defense was good, but unfortunately their intelligence level was close to mental retardation. Such an obvious trap was actually hit!

A puppet was surrounded by 18 knights, who circled around the puppet, and the puppet was rushing and clashing inside, but the knights always didn't fight him head-on. Every time he chased someone, he would run away, and the knights behind him took the opportunity to attack. Those weapons could not cut off such a thick defense, and they could only shoot some sparks on the puppet at each time, but if they continued to fight like this, they would sooner or later be killed.

The knights were playing with the puppet, but the puppet suddenly turned around. The knight who wanted to sneak attack behind him did not react for a moment. The puppet grabbed the armor of the mount. The unicorn is also a divine beast with a high IQ. Seeing this situation, he immediately turned his body and turned his back to the puppet. He tried to bounce it up and kick the puppet with his back hoof. However, the puppet decisively threw away his giant sword, and quickly reached out to hold the unicorn's butt, but the unicorn did not jump up.

The puppet pulled the armored fixing belt of the unicorn with his left hand, and pulled the unicorn backwards. The knight waved his sword and slashed the puppet, but the puppet ignored him at all. After pulling the unicorn with his left hand to his side, the puppet suddenly turned around, squatted, and stretched his right hand into the underside of the unicorn's belly, and then covered the unicorn's belly. His body stretched out suddenly, and his right shoulder put the Holy Emblem Knight and his people and horses together. That was 775 kilograms! It was almost a ton!

The puppet stood up straight and took advantage of the power of the upward drag, and continued to push his right hand upward. Then, his waist quickly worked with his right hand to move his mount and the knight to the ground. The knight rushed down and hit the ground, and his neck broke with a click. Then the weight of the unicorn hit him and even his waist broke. The unicorn fell to the ground and thrust it twice before there was no movement, and the knight below did not react at all.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, whether it was the city defense personnel, the players of our guild outside, or the fun in the distance. No one thought that they could defeat the knight in this way, because no one could lift such a heavy thing. Not to mention how heavy a heavy knight is, even his mount cannot be lifted by everyone.

Not to mention us, even the NPC in the field was stunned. While they were stunned, the puppet pounced on the nearest knight. The knight wanted to run a step slower. The puppet pushed the unicorn down, and the knight fell to the ground and rolled a few times before stopping. The unicorn puppet killed him and stood up and rushed towards the knight. Normal human heavy-armored knights had no way to wear this kind of armor and remained free to move. Their speed was provided by the mounts, and they could not be followed once they were dropped.

Stand up with his own strength. This Holy Emblem Knight is from the angel clan and has greater power than humans. However, even though an angel cannot wear this kind of armor, they can still be able to move freely. The puppet rushed to the front and jumped up suddenly, punching down. The knight had just sat up, but the puppet hit his mask with one punch. The knight was hit back to the ground, and his helmet had turned into a discus, and some red and white liquid flowed out of the gap in the helmet.

A knight behind suddenly shouted, "Take his sword away."

Another knight urged his mount to rush over, and he leaned down his mount and wanted to use superb horsemanship to directly drive the sword on the mount. But they forgot an important question. The magic puppet's giant sword was not for human use at all. More than 200 kilograms of swords cannot be used by creatures. The knight's riding skills were indeed very good. He reached the hilt of the sword, but the sword only moved. The mount rushed past the sword, but the knight was pulled down. The giant sword was too heavy. Not only did the knight not catch the sword, but instead pulled himself down.

The puppet ran back immediately when he saw the opportunity. The knight hurriedly wanted to climb onto the mount. The puppet jumped and the unicorn had already begun to escape. As a result, he grabbed one of the unicorn's hind legs. With a force on his hand, the unicorn fell to the ground with a wail, and the knight was also thrown to the ground for tooth. The puppet quickly got up and rushed towards the knight. The knight hurriedly stabbed it out. The puppet grabbed the sword blade and gently pinched it to twist the knight's sword into a string. The knight crawled backwards in panic, and the puppet quickly followed. A knight behind commanded the unicorn to rush up, and the unicorn stood up and used his front hooves to land on the back of the puppet. The unicorn was trampled down, but he immediately turned around and grabbed the unicorn's ankle and twisted it, and immediately knocked down another knight.

The saved knight suddenly rushed back and grabbed the puppet's helmet and pulled it hard. The helmet was pulled down smoothly and exposed its head. Another knight jumped off his mount and inserted the sword into the puppet's head with the help of the falling power.

With a harsh metal friction, the tip of the sword penetrated from a point below the puppet's eyes. The long sword entered one-third and began to twist the second half, but the first third had already pierced the puppet's head.

All the knights quickly got up and dodged for a distance, and the puppet lay silently on the ground without moving. The knights waited for more than ten seconds before they dared to pluck up their courage to approach, but the puppet's extinguished eyes suddenly lit up red flames again. He sat up slowly and looked left and right. Everyone clearly saw that the thing that penetrated his entire head was exposed in front and behind. If ordinary creatures were made like this by swords, even the skeleton warriors should fall down. But the puppet didn't care. The puppet's head was just an observation system. What really mattered was the skeleton's head in the core. As long as that was not bad, there would be no problem even if the head outside was cut off.
To be continued...
