Chapter 588 Battle Upon the Mud Road
The large-scale use of magical machines was a big problem that plagued the higher-ups of the Crimson Clan.
If they created all the magical machines with top-class alloy purified and extracted in advanced alchemical labs, then the cost of production of each magical machine would be higher than the magical statues and constructs of the World of Adepts.
Thus, to limit the production costs, most of the magical machines were made of an ordinary alloy that had undergone a simple smelting process. Only their energy core, energy circulation systems, and magic-energy weapon parts were made with the newest magical alloys.
A new magical machine factory had been in the works within Gazlowe’s massive metal body to alleviate this problem, even as the low-grade magical machine assembly lines were still producing magical machines. This new factory would no longer produce assembly line, low-grade magical machines. Instead, it would combine the various new technologies, new materials, and new ideas to create elite magical machine warriors.
The metal golems that Greem was researching was no more than a part of this Project Magical Machine Warrior!
A total of one hundred and sixty-three magical machines had been assigned to Mary for the battle this time. Of these magical machines, one hundred and sixty were ordinary machines, while three of them were special models– the Elementary Magical Machine Warrior.
These three Elementary Magical Machine Warriors were prototypes that had just walked out of the goblin laboratories. They had been sent here after production to test their limits in actual combat. This data would be used to evaluate their practicality and the feasibility of the project’s concept.
The dragonborn’s armor might have exceptional defensive capabilities, and their scales might be tough, but they all had their limits. When a concentrated attack exceeded this limit, it would deal unimaginable damage to the dragonborn.
The dragonborn warriors hiding in the back had exploded into cheers for the heroic feat of their captain. The very next second, they saw blood erupt from their captain’s body. The dragonborn had been riddled with holes by the fearsome barrage of bullets.
It was only now that the dragonborn captain’s reared front hooves landed on the ground.
The captain had used too much strength in doing so. Over a hundred streams of blood shot out of his body, completely staining the earth around him a crimson red.
The blood-soaked dragonborn captain trembled slightly, but he failed to squeeze out a single word from his dry throat. Three of his four eyes had been blinded, and the light of life was quickly fading from the last.
A dull thud rang as the dragonborn captain’s body collapsed limply to the ground before sliding into the swamp like the magical machine before him. Only bubbles appeared on the surface of the pool of water, along with bright red threads of blood.
The cheering dragonborn instantly fell silent!
A powerful dragonborn captain had actually been instantly torn into pieces by the enemy; such a thing had never happened in the long military history of the dragonborn.
The dragonborn were the strongest land warriors of Lance apart from the superior dragon lords. They were loyal. They were brave. They were capable of fighting off enemies a hundred times their numbers. They were unmatched.
At this moment, this gilded standard of theirs that had been established by countless bloody battles had been crushed to pieces by a group of cold, unfeeling metal lumps.
The image of dragonborn as invincible and undefeatable was quickly crumbling.
It was a massive shock to the dragonborn, as well as a tremendous humiliation.
The eyes of all the dragonborn in the camp turned bloodshot. They all roared and brandished their axes and charged toward the mud road.
Fight. Fight. Fight.
Wash their bodies with the blood of the enemy, honor their dead tribesmen with the flesh of the enemy.
All the dragonborn had gone berserk!
However, at this very moment, Mary calmly gave a series of orders while still hidden among the army of magical machines.
“Endor, immediately activate the poison plague you’ve spread.”
“Hummingbird One, drop the Destroyer now.”
“All Archers, fire at full power now.”
A blood battle instantly broke out upon the narrow mud road!
