Chapter 525 The Underground Battle
The first round of the battle.
Minimal damage had been inflicted upon the dragonborn warriors, but the goblin’s magical machine squad had been crippled!
As dragonborn soldiers slaughtered their way into the goblin army, the casualties among the magical machines rose exponentially! It was hard to even look at the numbers!
The goblins had indeed covered their flaws of weak strength and pathetic combat ability with their tough metal shells. However, the destruction that they could wield while piloting the magical machines hinged upon the magic energy weapons and explosives that the machines carried with them.
Even though these weapons could attack without stop, they also had obvious limitations regarding power.
The best example would be the metal bullets that were propelled by gunpowder. Attacks like these could never go above an upper limit of thirty points of physical damage, regardless of how well-crafted and well-designed the weapons were.
On the other hand, magic energy weapons mostly functioned by firing magical energy attacks through the activation of magic energy batteries. When violent magic energies accumulated to a certain degree, they were able to deal decent energy damage to planar creatures.
That undoubtedly hurt the hearts of many goblin engineers, inventors, and alchemists who were hiding in a safe place and secretly watching the battle through long-distance lenses. This brutal one-on-one allowed the goblins to once again recognize the difference in power between them and the invaders with perfect clarity.
Otherworldly invaders of a higher plane weren’t just stronger than them in a single aspect. They were superior in every single aspect. While they secretly mocked the Dragonborn as foolish and brainless idiots, they failed to understand a fundamental truth. When a species was sufficiently powerful, they no longer needed to resort to those so-called schemes and strategies.
It didn’t matter who the enemies were and what they tried to do. The Dragonborn only needed to endure the enemies’ bombardment and charge forward to smash them to pieces. Schemes had no place at moments like these. Even combat strategies were no longer as important!
It wasn’t as if the Dragonborn were absolute idiots. They simply did not need to employ such tricks against the frail goblins.
The goblin leaders finally gave another order after the verification of the Dragonborn’s combat abilities. The remaining three Second Grade magical machines swarmed forward and finally took down the dragonborn at a price. One machine was severely damaged, and the other two also suffered minor damage of varying degrees.
Then, this specially modified goblin chariot hauled this dragonborn prisoner away at its highest speed.
By the time the other two dragonborn arrived here by tracking the scent in the air, there was nothing left but scattered magical machine pieces and a large pool of blue blood.
The dragonborn were no idiots. They quickly discovered oddities at the scene of the battle.
The dragonborn scouts quickly reported the situation to all their companions through strange roars. Some long, some short, while others were high-pitched or low.
That also caused the ambushes that Gazlowe had prepared in a few other areas to fail due to the caution of the dragonborn!
