Invincible Chapter 560
Kane declined the hospitality invitation of the Dalaran mages, and instead of stationing the army in the Fortress of Borennad, he continued westward along the avenue, and finally stationed on a hill more than ten kilometers east of Pyrewood Village.
The winter is cold and the ground is frozen hard, but for the copper puppets, this is not a problem at all.
They are simply human-shaped construction machines, capable of digging and transporting, and everything. In less than two hours, a qualified camp was built, with a high wall of wood and stone, a pile of spears to resist horses, and a trench three meters deep and two meters wide.
Under the command of the engineer, the dragon vein kobolds set up the magic force field, and completed the power and test. Except for the part with the mission, most of the copper puppets entered the force field circle, began to rest and recharge, and at the same time strengthened.
Kobolds themselves have dragon genes, the more intelligent and powerful the kobolds are, the more they can master the language of dragons like the awakened Su Hui, more or less.
Therefore, the most suitable profession for kobolds is actually not a shaman, but a warlock who relies on blood for food.
Kane selected the best among the best, selected a group of kobolds, and then strengthened the dragon genes in their blood. After several generations of reproduction and stability, these dragon-blooded kobolds were born.
Not only do they look taller and stronger than others of their kind, but they also look more like lizardmen than the kobolds' original mouse-dog hybrid appearance.
These beings, named by Kane as Yalong people, are oviparous and have amazing fecundity. Their lifespan is less than 40 years old, but they mature very quickly. Adult Yalong people are about the height of a dwarf, but their physique is slightly inferior.
The Argonians play the role of assistants and handymen. In Kane’s army this time, there are less than 1,400 copper puppets. Counting commanders and staff groups, there are only more than 1,400 people. However, the Argonians have this number. More than 5 times of that, close to 8000 people.
Raising one of 5, the copper puppets already have the style of noble knights in the middle ages, but they are indeed powerful. Like this camp, even if the mages of Dalaran spared no expense, they used a lot of magic to speed up production to complete a similar camp. Construction, nor will it be faster than the construction of his team.
And Kane, Onyxia, and Veragosa don't need to live in ordinary tents, but have "Kane's luxury camp".
Together with the magic spells, exquisite luxury camps with cultural atmosphere appear everywhere, and people can enjoy comfort in them. Kane even took a dip in the exclusive hot spring basin, and then had a sumptuous dinner with Onyxia.
Onyxia is very satisfied with this kind of military life, which is very different from her previous adventurous life of eating and sleeping, and even drinking blood.
And Kane doesn't think so,
After all, he comes from a world of great material abundance. As long as he has the ability, he will not deliberately work hard and plainly. After all, he is following the route of swarms, not the route of a virtuous king who calls himself brothers and soldiers of the three armies and shares weal and woe, let alone the route of a public servant of the people.
In fact, the treatment below is not bad. Dried vegetables, canned meat, random stew, and soft multigrain bread are more delicious and nutritious than the daily meals of many ordinary people in this era. There is nothing to complain about. ?
After the dinner, the latest information from the scouts was delivered.
And when the staff decided on an action plan, Kane reviewed and approved it, and the officers and soldiers below had almost rested. All right, let's go!
What, it's night?
Evening is better. Under Kane's command, apart from the Knights Templar, which has a very high role in pretending, which other team is afraid of the night and cannot fight at night?
On the contrary, his troops have extra bonuses for night battles.
In fact, the copper puppets have nothing to say, they are nothing more than humanoid tanks that look frightening. They are tall and strong, and after putting on heavy armor, they are bipedal self-propelled chariots that look like they are alive.
When Kane was designing, he also added a constant spell binding system. The copper puppets have a trick called Terror Roar, which can arouse the fear in the hearts of creatures. When they break through the enemy line, they roar one after another, and the effect is just right.
Interesting kobolds.
Once, the sentence about kobolds that impressed Kane the most was: Don't snatch my candle!
Although these kobolds who are drilled and mined have dim vision, they habitually put a large wax on top of their heads for illumination. Coupled with a wax holder and a tie, it can be regarded as a miner hat with kobold characteristics.
Naturally, Kane would not let his Argonians hold a candle, but a magic crystal lamp.
At night, the kobolds who were still working hard lit up the magic crystal lamps on their helmets one after another. It was a warm orange-gold color, like the light of lava.
Looking at the camp from a high place, a huge amount of starlight, wandering in the darkness, complementing the stars in the sky, is truly beautiful.
Onyxia said: "I know why you didn't accept the invitation of the Dalaran mages. Our own is better and more comfortable."
Kane smiled noncommittally, and looked at the troops in battle.
The copper puppets that lined up were another scene.
The edges of their armor glow, one for identifying friend and foe, the other for marking their status, and finally for aesthetics.
Against the edge of the purple streamer, the armor looms, exuding a mysterious beauty.
This troop did not fight with open flames, but this did not affect their speed at all. They made great strides. From here to Pyrewood Village, it is estimated that they will be in position in half an hour.
The night was low, the moon was high, and there was a veil-like mist among the dense pine forests. From Shadowfang Castle and Pyrewood Village, eerie howls could be heard from time to time.
Kane is in the sky, and a disc-shaped magic levitator carries him. With the help of this object, he can surf in the air.
The idea is still Blizzard's own. In Pandaria, the hometown of the Pandaren, the essence of somersault cloud is just such a thing. The energy cloud wrapped around it is an additional effect generated when the equipment is running.
Looking down at the land under the moonlight, the dimly lit Pyrewood Village and the ghostly Shadowfang Castle are just bigger toys.
This kind of facility, as well as its internal combat power, is nothing special to look at, just drive straight in and crush it.
It was an exceptionally burly ogre, Osgar, who conquered the gate of Pyrewood Village.
This guy with a name and surname seemed interesting to Kane. In order to eat, this guy took the initiative to be captured, but his oversized size and figure betrayed him.
Yes, this guy is a bit dizzy, and has only one eye. This is because its talent is to return to the ancestors of blood, and its blood has a strong Gron factor, so its life span is longer, and it develops at least twice more than other ogres, with a third and a fourth secondary developmental period.
The current Oscar has completely completed and stabilized the third developmental stage. Its height exceeds 5 meters, and its weight exceeds one ton. Together with the special heavy armor on its body, it weighs a car, reaching 2.3 tons.
Such a big guy, wielding a warhammer, smashed the wooden gate of the log village with a few blows, and the wood dross splashed and collapsed. The arrows or spears shot down from the village wall are not even tickling for it. .
As soon as the gate of the village was opened, the copper puppets drove straight in. They carried wide-bodied and thick-backed sabers on their backs but did not use them, and they held fishing rods in their hands.
The fishing rod looks like a crescent shovel, but instead of a blade, it is a half ring with a nail ruler inside.
This thing is used to choke the neck, and several handles can be used at the same time. After the target is hooked, the target's hand cannot reach the person using the fishing rod.
Sure enough, there were werewolves everywhere in Pyrenwood Village. The humanity of these guys was replaced by crazy bloodthirsty, but they also had the cunning of beasts.
When they are young, such as ordinary people, they play the role of sprinters, relying on their strong physique, great strength, sharp minions, and mighty appearance to fight against the enemy.
But today, when they saw the tall and burly copper puppets, they turned into cunning, and instead of confronting them head-on, they jumped up and down, going up the room for a while, and going down the ground for a while, hoping to rely on their sensitive and swift movements to keep up with them. Copper puppets swim and fight.
It is a pity that the copper puppets are indeed stronger and more powerful, but this does not mean that they are clumsy. Their speed and reaction are not inferior to werewolves at all, or even higher.
The zip line and the net were thrown out, and the werewolves scurrying among the roofs were caught in the net one after another, and were captured alive.
As for their sharp claws and fangs, don't worry, they can't chew the armor of the copper puppets at all.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the werewolves stopped guarding the village. Some fled to the forest outside the village, while others climbed the cliffs like goats to the high place of Shadowfang Castle.
In fact, the attack on Shadowfang Castle had already begun at the same time as the attack on Pyrewood Village.
The terrain of Shadowfang Castle is quite dangerous. In front of the main entrance of the castle, using the natural terrain, there is a deep ravine suspension bridge. When the suspension bridge is pulled up, the ravine tens of meters deep and more than ten meters wide is not easy to cross.
However, this city has no artillery. In Kane's view, it is like a poisonous snake without teeth, and the steep terrain alone is not enough.
This time it was the Black Blade Knights who acted as the grassroots officers of the unit. At times like this, it was up to them to take the lead and seize the flag.
But this time it was the chains of the suspension bridge, and I saw a black blade knight, after leaping into the air, using his skills, a pair of black and purple wings of light suddenly appeared behind him, and these wings allowed the knight to achieve a second jump. As well as gliding, it was easy to reach the opposite side, and the iron cable as thick as an adult's arm was cut off with one slash, another jump in the air, and then another slash with the backhand, the suspension bridge crashed down.
On the side of the bridge, the dragon orc spellcaster was ready, purple thunder bloomed on the ground, and then seemed to be alive, and rushed towards the direction of the suspension bridge, and soon covered the bridge deck, and then the entire suspension bridge, including both ends The rocks all began to emit purple light.
This is to strengthen the suspension bridge with energy, so that the suspension bridge cannot bear the weight of the copper puppet.
The copper puppets who were ready to go rushed into the castle with buried strides, and the ghost soldiers were the first to encounter them.
These are all the castle officers and soldiers who were killed when Arugal captured the city. They were guarding the castle until after death. Unfortunately, the perception of the spirit body instead of vision was used by Arugal. These guards thought they were talking to werewolves. fight.
The copper puppets ignored these ghosts at all, the armor on their bodies was always open with a magic force field, and the ghosts could not pass through the armor and invade their bodies.
Deep in the castle, Arugal and his minions are entrenched.
In addition to the ordinary werewolves, the famous ones include Razoclaw the Butcher, Reshgor the Executioner, Odu the Blind Guard, Dunans the Wolf King, and Fenrus the Devourer, a giant wolf with several It looks like Goldrinn, but its fur is pure black, and its eyes are shining with purple light.
Useless, ordinary swords, even if carefully crafted and controlled by great power and good technology, cannot destroy the armor of the copper puppets. On the contrary, every punch and every kick of the copper puppets is not the same as these beasts and What human-shaped beasts can carry, basically, these werewolves, giant wolves, were finally captured alive after their bones were broken and they lost their combat effectiveness.
And finally Arugal, and his master, Wogan the Wolf.
"Well, I'll do this, I hope Arugal can give me some surprises, forget about the "Book of Ur", what I want to know is the whereabouts of the Moon God's Scythe..."
As Kane said, a teleport appeared directly inside the top floor of the Mage Tower.
There, the copper puppets had already broken into the hall, confronting Arugal, and Kane appeared in front of them by determining the positions of the puppets.
In the first greeting of the meeting, Kane said: "Arugao, has the urgent letter reporting the movements of me and my army been sent? I hope it has already been sent, and it will save a lot of trouble..."
