"That's... what are those?"

Lord Robert asked in fear.

"Is it also an alchemy creation...?" Atolia said hesitantly.

Since the Gentiles have powerful weapons on the water like white boats, there should be similar things on land.

The father and son held on to the window frame, leaned out half of their bodies, and stretched their necks to see the creations rumbling across the street. The billowing water smoke drifted away, the metal mechanism drove, and the strong feet made of fine iron rolled over the stone floor, even The walls of the hostel trembled.People gathered on both sides of the street, watching in horror these steel monsters at least two or three people tall slowly passing by.

Although it can be seen at a glance, the operator sitting in the iron frame reduces some fear, and the awe it brings to mortals will not be reduced. It can even be said that just because foreigners can create and use such creations, They are especially awesome.It is well known that the Gentiles are very rich, and the Gentiles are extremely powerful, but except perhaps themselves and the most fanatical followers—such as the low-class people who went to them early Have the same thoughts as them.If the Gentiles are really powerful, why did they endure all kinds of hardships and retreat step by step?The skill of making utensils is just a skill, and power must be reflected by creating pain. At this point, the Gentiles are obviously not doing enough (even if they take down the city of Mahi), even those who hate them the most are enjoying it. What benefits do they bring.

However, there is a more general truth in the world, that is, the strong keep getting rich.It has nothing to do with their willingness to appear sweet and harmless.

This is especially true the larger the organization.

Steel monsters drove out of the warehouse area behind the hostel one after another, and the flat avenue, which was enough for six horses to parallel, was occupied by them, and it seemed very narrow, and it couldn't even fit the long queue. To be honest, they only had ten or so horses in front of them. There are two seats, but they have the momentum to surpass thousands of troops.The tremors of the earth spread from the soles of the feet to the tips of the people's hearts. They hid behind the wall and huddled together on the side of the street, watching these slow-moving monsters slowly advance across the avenue. A dirt-mixed gravel road.

The flow of people has followed their tracks. If many huts along the road hadn't been demolished before, there might not be enough space for these monsters to pass through. To dismantle or not may not make much difference.

The last group of observers who remained in Maxi City watched these monsters leave in shock—they had repeatedly confirmed that they stayed, and the city gate would not be closed to them at any time, and it was difficult to express their feelings in words.The Gentiles hid this gift to the enemy deep enough. If they hadn’t lived so far with a desperate heart, they might not have seen the secret weapon of the Gentiles. There is no doubt that ordinary flesh and blood cannot resist these steels. It takes a lot of courage to even look directly at the giant beasts, although from a general perspective, their movements are far less flexible and fast than creatures, without protection such as horns and spikes, and it is impossible to see the position of the miscellaneous soldiers for a while...

But iron is strong, big is good.

Just imagine, the power that pushes the huge castle-like hull upstream, also pushes the huge house-like steel armor galloping wantonly in the wilderness, how panicked the enemies opposite it are!It's just that it might not be that effective against cavalry, and people with strength talents may be able to deal with this kind of weapon. After all, if they don't have more deadly means of fighting the enemy, they generally only need to consider how to slow down or even destroy their ability to advance...

But it didn't take long for the imagination of observers who knew a little about military affairs to be replaced by surprise.

Earl Cadlan's army will be able to complete the last part of the journey today, and they will probably temporarily repair in the village five miles away, and they may go to war at any time.For the foreigners, whether they want to demonstrate the power of these weapons or set up a battlefield right now, they should drive these alchemy tools in the direction of the city gate. The city gate faces east, but they are indeed going straight to the west. , and four of them turned in place on the road and turned to the center of the city. The eight in front continued to move forward, and then stopped facing the stone city wall across two alleys.

Before the bell to start work rang, people couldn't help chasing these alchemy creations after curiosity outweighed their fear, but they never dared to get too close.After the steel giants stopped, the foreigners used ropes to form barricades to drive out the idlers, and the crowd was blocked from the alley.If you stand on a high place at this time, you can see that there is no one on the city wall and in the streets and alleys. Only three or four "new Gentiles" who can be distinguished only by their costumes trot away from under the city wall. They retreated all the way into the barricades. , raised his hands to face the crowd, shouted loudly, and repeatedly covered his ears several times.Many people who didn't know why, but had already been tamed by the Gentiles followed suit.

In the far field, a red flag waved down.

Out of sight, sparks burst forth.

Then--

earthquake.

——Sudden earthquake!

Before the moment when the earth lifted people up, thunder and fire came one step ahead. Human beings' fragile five senses can only see the initial white and yellow fire bursting, and when they hear the first blow of the hammer touching the world, their perception is shocked into shock. Chaos, in this moment of blankness, the power of divine punishment swept across, the strong wind scattered, and the mortals in the nearby streets were mowed down in pieces like straw, rolled into balls, the window frame slammed against the wall, and the sound of glass shattering splashed everywhere, Many people couldn't stand stably, their livers and gallbladders were torn, and when they raised their heads, what they saw was black and gray clouds of smoke rising violently, like swelling mountains, and countless broken rocks rushed into the sky from the peaks. After a long moment, A shower of earth and stone fell on the world.

The city seemed to be turned upside down, thunder and tremors spread along the air and land, the Buber River made waves slightly, the trees shook and the grass died, shaking people miles away.

When people got up from the ground in a dazed state and looked forward again, the walls of Maxi City had already collapsed.The city wall on the west side has completely disappeared, and the deep and winding cracks at the broken teeth are shocking, almost extending to the east and west sides of the city gate. In people's misty eyes, behind the slanted and crooked hut alleys, those giant alchemy beasts that had been roaring shook their bodies covered with sand and moved forward again.

Huge monsters pressed down on the abandoned house mercilessly. Under those giant steel feet, the cave dwellings made of mud and thatch collapsed at the touch of a finger. Under the fire and smoke, no one could hear the groans of the disappearance of the former poor alleys. They were easily destroyed. It's flat.There is no obstacle on the way forward, these super-era products are marching towards the vast field of the wilderness along the just opened exit, with the tracks running over the ground.

On a mound outside the city, a "foreigner" scratched his hair, and a few grains of sand fell out. He coughed, "...the dose was too much."

He glanced at someone beside him, but the black-haired young man just lowered his head to write notes. From this angle, it was difficult to see what he wrote, which was a bit frightening.Although this person should not remember the little black book, and their actions outside, as long as it does not lead to any irreparable consequences, many times they can decide how to do things by themselves, but the amount of explosives is slightly different from the task list...

Fan Tianlan closed the notebook.

Then he turned his head, called out the other person's name, and said, "I want you to go back to the city and assist the civil affairs team to explain the situation and appease the residents until the situation stabilizes. Can you do it?"

"Yes! I can do it!" The other party, who was relieved by the roll call, responded. After saying goodbye to his companions, he turned and stepped on the horse beside him, and ran back along the field ridge.

One of the remaining people looked up at the light blue sky and said, "We need to dig at least twenty kilometers of diversion canals."

"Plowing the fields, digging ditches, sowing seedlings, and raising livestock are all simple things... let's do the same," another person said.

"Let's go." Fan Tianlan said.

They left here.

The public spies of Marcy City were terrified and left the hostel cautiously. They were not like the civilians and poor people who were bewitched by the foreigners. The Mahi people were urged to go down to the place of work by the bell. The public spies who had been observing for a long time went to observe the scene after obtaining permission. The manager of the hotel said to them: "Don't be afraid, we will not take back What I said. Except for some dangerous places, you can move freely in the city, and we believe that you will not disturb our work."

The smell of stone powder is still in the wind. Some people are picking up the gravel on the street, avoiding the dust from the broom. Artoria is walking with his father, and the castle steward timidly accompanies them, a few steps behind them Beyond that, are the overt spies who also live in the hostel.These observers with somewhat special identities walked slowly through the hostel street, and came to the west of the city that was almost turned into white ground.

Under their feet were the ruins of the city wall that could no longer be seen in its original appearance. The most head-sized gray-white gravel sandwiched yellow debris was spread from the ruins in front of them to the outside of the city. In the field of vision opened by violence, the breath of the wilderness Oncoming, the green and brown land opened its arms to them, spreading to the left, right, and forward, almost without end. The wind dissipated, only the rumble and vibration resonated with the sound of the river.

In the face of cruel nature, people are always small, but there are always some people who are not so small.

"Terrible..." Lord Robert said in a low voice.

"It's terrible!" The steward echoed tremblingly, "What kind of devils are these foreigners? How could they have such means!"

"If I had known that their power was like this——" City Lord Robert stopped halfway through speaking. If I had known that the power of the foreigners was like this, would they, these bewitched mortals, be able to make the right choice and avoid falling into today's situation? ——Nearly a hundred nobles, priests, knights, and citizens were imprisoned in the city hall, suffering, and he, an incompetent city lord who lost all his minions, deaf and blind, seemed absurdly possessing precious freedom, as long as he said In a word, the Gentile will return his wealth and servants other than the land, and can send him out of the city at any time, no matter whether he wants to go to some remote country to retire or go to a powerful lord.

Robert should have avoided the war, but how could he be willing?He may be able to go to a farm somewhere to retire, but no matter the reputation or wealth, including the city of Marci, it will have nothing to do with him from now on.What's more, the strongest support he could find had come to the land, and he did not despise these opponents at all, throwing much more force into the field than they expected.Obtaining these news through the messengers stranded in the city, Lord Robert was amazed, and also afraid of the determination shown by the earl—his desire to eliminate heresies and plunder heretics was so strong, and at the same time confused the ignorance and fearlessness of foreigners— ——With their hands, with their amazing skills and tricks, and with outsiders staring at them, what confidence do they have to face the iron hooves of the army?

Until today, Gentile has finally shown his power to the world.

The Gentiles are not afraid of being enemies because their strength is not human...

Attoria, who finally changed back into men's clothes, pursed her lips and glanced to the side. The spies not far away were also whispering to each other. Their expressions were fearful, disbelieving, and equally incomprehensible.

Gentiles are inherently difficult to understand.They are always out of tune with ordinary people, but they always show the arrogance of "we have tried our best to cover it up", which makes many people dislike them, but the benefits are so attractive that people can't help but tolerate them again and again, just like Smell the bait of prey that has stepped into the trap.No one really cared what the Gentiles wanted until they bared their fangs. After all, at least on the surface, the Gentiles had almost everything they wanted except land.

Except land.

A myriad crawled through the scorched thatch. When it raised its upper body and stretched its hairy limbs towards the black wooden beam, an unnatural vibration came from bottom to top, like a breeze blowing over its slender limbs. The tentacles made it fall back in shock, and after struggling for a while, it slammed onto the rough wooden tabletop. With a scream of disgust, it was swept to the ground with one hand and rolled out with the other. juice.

The sound of the wine glass being placed on the table, the exquisite porcelain plate was pushed away.

"What just happened?" someone asked.

"It's iron hoofs beating the ground, my lord," someone answered. "Our warriors can't wait."

The person who asked the question pondered. He looked up and looked outside the farmhouse. The bright morning light crossed the mountains and shone on a row of newly-made gallows.Touching his sideburns, which the barber had trimmed neatly with Gentile blades in the morning, the count stood up.

"Let's go then."

"Kill the heretics and tear up all Gentiles!"

Thousands of people and horses rushed like water, leaving the small temporary point, leaving fear and sobs behind, and under the increasingly hot sun, they rushed towards the east with an indomitable momentum.

In the direction pointed by the earl's sword, the same sunlight bakes the land, the smoke has long since dissipated, and the shock only remains in people's hearts. All kinds of heavy and busy work occupy the mind and body of the residents as before.Those who have been recruited with high rewards and those who have not escaped are like scattered ants, clearing up ruins, dismantling houses, and filling depressions around the city... On some vacant land that has been cleaned up a long time ago, people pushed The carts came out in several long zigzag lines, and the ground slowly piled up with hills of materials. A group of Gentiles led another group of people came here, and drew a straight and huge white frame on the ground—these chaos showed In the orderly scenes, none of them seemed to be related to the war. Occasionally, gravel fell on the wall that had disappeared a quarter of the city. Looking at this place from the wilderness, no one could tell that this was a city that was preparing for war.

But the city also made no sign of welcoming outsiders.

Those terrifying steel monsters were also scattered everywhere.One is in the center of the city, using its indestructible armor to rampage, constantly destroying the only solid stone buildings, and the hostages in the city hall are screaming; Rumbling back and forth on the road paved with gravel, the main road full of mud and dust was ground to a solid level; the last two parts were along the side of the road, moving more slowly. The teeth hooked up and turned out, and the two straight tunnels continued to extend forward; while the eight monsters heading for the field had already spread out on the vast land one by one, and the two walking in front opened their terrifying giant iron teeth, mouthful one by one. Flatten the ridges that hinder the road ahead; and the four following are connected equidistantly by chain-like metal spur wheels. Wherever they pass, the mud shells are broken, mudworms and voles are running around, and grass stems and tree roots are twisted by the roots. There are two more in the distance, using the hook wheel to slowly correct and deepen several ditches that are almost invisible...

Behind these roaring machines is a large group of farmers who were so shocked that they lost their words. They wore straw hats, carried tools, carried baskets, and hung cloth bags around their waists. They lowered their heads to pick up gravel and insects on the roughly turned land. .On the edge of the fields where the boundaries are gradually blurred, buckets are lined up under the hastily built sheds, and some people are guarding the table, waiting for the farmers to exchange rewards with stones and worms.

The spies who walked from inside the city to outside the city and back from outside the city fell into an indescribable panic.The Gentiles have indeed distinguished the inevitability and necessity of their various actions to the outside world, and declared that they can resist the great disaster that is about to happen, but how many people can take those nonsense words seriously?However, after witnessing the earth-shattering eruption and seeing these metal monsters tame in the hands of human beings, those false and overconfident words gradually became a hard reality before their eyes.No one will rejoice in this reality except those who believe that the Gentiles can save, and believe that they themselves will be saved.

After barely eating lunch, patches of smoke and dust rose from the far side of the earth.

The earl gathered the strength of thousands of troops, he was menacing and bound to win, and he finally arrived.

At this time, the Gentiles had not yet recruited men and distributed weapons. They still opened the gates of the city and politely asked the messengers whether they wanted to watch the battle or leave the city temporarily.

Lord Robert said: "No, I want to stay here."

The rest looked at each other.

Under the sun slanting to the west, an army of 5000 men spread out on the plain in a restless formation.All saw the alchemical giants of the field, turning and marching in a powerful way before their eyes, turning their terrifying and ferocious teeth towards this army.

The steaming water vapor from the ground made the distant scenery appear illusory, the ratchet sprockets connecting those metal monsters gleamed dazzlingly, and the hot wind sent their low-pitched roars to everyone’s ears. Sitting high in the iron frame, the ruthless face is not humanoid.On the rough brown land behind this steel front, sparse and pitifully thin human beings formed the only defense in a leisurely manner.

More than two hundred people, this is the entire lineup of 5000 people from the alien resistance. This is really an absurd number, and it is also an absurd scene. It turned out to be just a rat, but what was frightening was that the mouth-watering fur of this golden rat had never-before-seen poisonous spikes.

The army mages did not detect any familiar spells among the metal monsters and humans, and no one had seen any similar creations. No one knew how these weapons would be used and what power they would produce.Anyone can tell from the outside, they're very, very, very strong.

Everyone is looking at the count.The courtiers were looking at him, the knight turned his head on his mount, the servant twisted his body, looking for him and his flag in the crowd, five thousand hesitant, confused, fearful, and mixed with a very few eyes eager to try, looked at "The Earl ’ This sign of the right is concentrated.On the field with only the breeze, the red and white flag fluttered over the flagpole.

The Earl sat high on his horse, with streams of sweat running down his back. He took off his mask and watched a group of people come to the middle of the battlefield and be led to him.

"Good day, Your Excellency. I have been famous for a long time, please allow me to introduce myself." A foreigner with fair complexion and drooping eyes stood in front of the count and spoke to him.This was the first foreigner the count had seen, and although he tried his best to imitate the etiquette of the upper class, anyone could see it, from the extremely short-cut curly hair, to the indecent clothing, to the impoliteness. The hypocritical eyes, the way this person walks, and the accent of speaking are all heresy.He was already extremely uncomfortable just standing there, and the next words of this heretic who claimed to be a teacher were even more triumphant and rebellious——

"Until this moment, we have sincerely hoped to find a way to avoid a fight. Fighting is the last and worst outcome. We have kept the most decent people in Marsh safe and brought them here today. , and the respected Lord Robert made peace for us. The past disputes are not our wishes. We are willing to return their wealth and give them some compensation. Sit down for peace and the future, and we will show our utmost sincerity to all of you here."

The count wanted to mock, sneer, and shout—if you demons really mean that, what are those steel monsters?

He glanced at his cousin again, and Robert stared at him with a crazy look in his eyes.

The count condescended, and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: "Why?"

The Gentile hesitated, and then he said to the count: "On this field of battle there can be but one victor."

And that's not the Earl.

The long sword came out of its sheath clangingly, the earl glared, raised his arms, and slashed down fiercely!
