Hancock flew down from the city wall and stood next to Aranza. Her eyes stayed in the dust trampled by the Awakener's war magic machine. The flying sand was full of fleeing figures. Hancock
Cook gave an unclear "tsk" and said, "Are we just going to let them go like this?"
She rolled her eyes and looked at Aranza who was thoughtful, but with a vague smile on her lips, she continued: "I'm talking to you... Mr. Captain."
"Um?"
Aranza responded casually, then turned to look at the moat. The originally clear water showed a strange crimson color, and a large number of damaged war magic machines revealed a small number of broken or bent metal components. Aranza
It seemed that he really didn't hear Hancock's words, but said to himself: "Well, it would have been nice if I had asked Yvette to bring out one or two apprentices. These war magic machines are really powerful..."
In fact, if it were not for the existence of the "Sanctuary" level, these war magic machines would be absolutely invincible. But the strong ones in the Sanctuary are so rare. Although the war years have forced out many new or reclusive Sanctuary strongmen, these
After all, humans are only a very rare part of the tens of millions of human beings, and they have always worked independently.
The cavalry that people have admired in the past are completely vulnerable to these war magic machines. Even the Dawn Guard relies on the terrain advantage of the gaps in the mountains to resist the war magic machines through indiscriminate attacks of rolling stones and ballistae. And the Dawn Guard can
All they can do is resist and defeat the enemy? It's not that Longstead has not thought about it, but once the Dawn Guard leaves the gap in the mountains, the relationship between them and the Awakened will become a sheep and a lion.
While sighing, Aranza suddenly remembered the name of a person who had been forgotten for a long time, Locke. The little boy who wanted to lurk next to Aranza in exchange for his father's reward. If he was still alive, he might be standing with Yvette on Aranza's side.
The opposite is to help Aranza repair the war magic machines abandoned by the awakened people on the battlefield and make them become part of Aranza's power.
Power not only represents the power of an individual, but also includes the power that an individual can borrow. For Aranza, the army is still a vital part of power.
Aranza knows very well that he is not the only one who can fight an army on his own. Carew can do it, Hancock can, and so can those strong men from the Sanctuary who have not yet shown their prominence on the opposite side of Aranza.
When the enemy discovers Aranza's strength and sends stronger or equally strong opponents on the battlefield, the level of war will be drawn back to the contest between armies. At this time, Aranza will discover that the weapon in his hand
The power is extremely thin. Apart from the Norland Army of more than a thousand people and the original garrison of a few hundred in the Alice Fortress, the only power Aranza can borrow is the Dawn Guard who have a temporary cooperative relationship. To be precise, only the Dawn Guard
The Crimson Knights of the Alliance.
It is worth mentioning that not all armies were destroyed by the strong men of the Sanctuary. The mercenary guild alliance surrounding Alice Fortress was too uneven. Aranza only solved some of them, but the rest were destroyed.
Scared away, if they all swarm in, maybe the victory or defeat can be re-determined, or at least Aranza can be seriously injured, making the balance of victory tilt towards the last three strong men of the Lane family mercenary kings; and the Awakener's
War magic machines, their strength lies in their collision with armies. In front of the strong men of the sanctuary, these big guys will appear clumsy, slow, and crowded.
And more armies that have been baptized by countless wars cannot easily win with just one or two strong men from the holy realm.
For example, the United Regular Army of the Lane family, the Lion Legion, or some of its elite branches, the Golden Sun Knights of the Mercenary King's line, and the Royal Knights of the Founding King's line. These legions can not only deal with the strong men of the Sanctuary, but also lead the
Several of their general-level missions are the real strong men of the Sanctuary. The Tulip family or some other smaller families can also pull out one or even several armies to deal with the strong men of the Sanctuary.
Those who can really regard a normal army as ants are either legendary strongmen or gods. The word "normal" has to be added here, because there are always some armies that are beyond normal, and their combat power is incredible.
.
His eyes returned to the battle between the strong men of the sanctuary and the war magic machine.
After the Awakeners retreated, Aranza was not idle. He once again sent people to dismiss the local nobles who liked to gather at the city lord's palace but scolded each other when they had nothing to do. He held an emergency meeting in the not-so-spacious hall, and then followed
The warriors each took the order and left. Before they could reach it, the gate of Rios City was opened unscrupulously, and pairs of private armed forces provided by local nobles poured out. Under the eyes of the awakened warriors in the distance, the battlefield began.
of cleaning work.
Damaged war magic machines were fished out from the moat. So far, no one has been able to crack the manufacturing process of the awakened war magic machines, so Aranza does not intend to leave these war magic machines for scholars to crack.
, a large amount of manpower directly dismantles the war magic machines into piles of scrap metal, and then transports them to various blacksmith shops in Rios City. They will be melted into molten metal, and then the blacksmiths will cast them into some metal crafts or weapons.
Armor.
What is surprising is that among the many wreckage of war magic machines, several snow elf pilots survived. Aranza would not be happy to focus on one or two prisoners. Jin, who was responsible for directing the cleanup work,
Gates is well aware of this, and he also understands how to deal with these captives more appropriately now.
Therefore, every time a prisoner is found, Kim Gates will order it to be dragged to the edge of the war, facing a hilltop opposite, and the executioner will chop off the heads of these prisoners one by one, and then roll them to the ground like a ball.
Kicked its ugly head aside.
This was intentional on the part of Kim Gates, because a hilltop opposite was where the evacuated awakened people were temporarily stationed. They did not escape too far, or in other words, fortunately, they did not intend to give up.
Attack Rios City. Looking out from the city walls of Rios City, you will see war magic machines parked on some flat lands in the mountains, and several special-looking war magic machines are busy.
These special war magic machines are like an iron box with several wheels and a top-shaped iron turn. The snow elves call them "worker ants". Their function is very simple, that is, they are used to dig burrows.
The Awakened's camp is very different from the human camp. The most obvious thing is that the snow elves do not live in tents. In other words, their tents are burrows dug by worker ants.
Snow elves have no eyes, so even if Kim Gates decapitates many captives in front of them, they will not see them. However, Kim Gates can be sure that when the beheading knife is placed on the neck of the prisoner, it will scream in agony.
The sound must have reached the ears of the escaping companions. In fact, when the third prisoner died in the hands of the executioner, a burst of curses from the snow elves finally sounded from the opposite mountain, but not many people heard their language.
Gotta understand.
But at this time, in a large cave with a much larger opening than other caves, compared with the curses of the snow elves outside the cave, the atmosphere composed of several snow elves inside was extremely heavy.
The large cave has just been excavated, and there is nothing placed in it. Several snow elves sit cross-legged and surround the city in a circle, chirping and talking. The leading snow elf is the commander of the army this time.
The conversation only lasted for a moment, and then turned into a separate curse from the commander. It was very angry. Not long ago, when the Dawn Guard was still stationed in the gap in the mountains, the Awakened launched a long-planned attack on it. In order to
After the victory in that battle, the headquarters "Lighthouse" even sent a large-scale war magic machine "Heavy Hammer" specially developed for conquering the gaps in the mountains. Unexpectedly, the Heavy Hammer was dismantled by a special hostile force just after it attacked.
, this power surpassed the awakened people's understanding of the Dawn Guard, and once again drove out the army of war magic machines that had rushed to the end of the gap in the mountains.
If this matter was reported back to the headquarters, it would definitely become a laughing stock for the commander by other snow elves. Therefore, it chose to conceal the truth. In the report submitted to the headquarters, it was explained that the driver of the heavy hammer made a driving mistake. Not only did it
Instead of conquering the gaps in the mountains, it got stuck in the gaps, making it impossible for subsequent war magic machines to rush through, leading to a disastrous defeat in the battle. Simply put, during the commander's subsequent investigation, he discovered that the special power that defeated Heavy Hammer was just
I happened to be a guest at Dawn Guard, and they had already gone back.
Unexpectedly, now, this force has appeared again and hindered the awakened people from attacking Rios City!
So this commander was so angry that he thought his intelligence officers had deceived him, just like he deceived his superiors! However, while this commander was still tirelessly scolding his own men, he almost forgot that at this time
At the critical moment, a low-ranking snow elf suddenly rushed in and whispered a few words to the commander.
An expression of joy suddenly appeared on the commander's ugly face. Then, at its signal, the intruding snow elf hurriedly ran out, and returned after a while. Behind it was an additional snow elf who was killed by two snow elves.
Humans guarded by elves.
This prisoner was captured by the snow elf who broke in. When the army in Rios City cleared the battlefield, it was lurking around to collect intelligence and sensed the footsteps of this middle-aged man. He seemed to be trying to pick up a piece of
It was far away from the airship fragments on the battlefield, so the snow elf decisively caught it and brought it here.
Since he has no eyes, the commander of the snow elf could not clearly understand the appearance of this human being. However, the commander still learned through touch that this human being was not tall. His height was actually about the same as that of the snow elf, and his bones were thin.
No wonder the investigators it sent out were able to subdue this human being.
"May I have your name?"
The Snow Elf Commander moved his ugly mouth, but blurted out a sentence in mainland China.
Cold sweat broke out on the face of this "human". He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a dry but high-pitched voice: "Answer to the respected commander... My name is... Prairie."
