Chapter 589: An Yi Zhi Stands on the Earth! (below)
This kind of mecha that uses magic as an energy source is also classified as a golem.
The golem is an alchemy creature that relies on the alchemy core to carry out the master's orders, usually between 6~3 meters, with the soul of a large creature and the alchemy core that can absorb magic power as the main body, that is, as long as the parts are not damaged, they can continue to move, and they may also have the ability to self-repair and extend their life. The fact that there are still golems in many relics that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old is enough to prove the reliability and durability of the golems.
Compared to orthodox golems, the magic mecha is almost useless in squad-level adventures.
The seemingly mighty size is a burden, and if you drive it against the strong, you must be prepared to be 'dismantled empty-handed'.
At the same time, energy consumption is a big problem that cannot be avoided.
As long as the alchemy core is not bad, the golem can move forever, just like a perpetual motion machine. The 18-meter volume of the magic guide mecha can't be carried by the alchemy core alone, they need a large number of external energy packs as power, which is why the White Hand Association mentioned in the newspaper that the Imperial Army has transported a large number of magic crystals.
Consumes a lot of energy, doesn't move quickly enough, and is huge enough to be a burden when venturing in dungeons.
But these shortcomings are nothing at all in a large-scale war.
In terms of energy consumption, the magic cannon is not necessarily much smaller than the magic guide mecha, and in terms of agility, it is indeed not as fast as a humanoid creature, but it is completely enough to dodge the magic guide cannonball that flies more slowly.
The huge size is an incomparable advantage on the battlefield, whether it is deterrence or combat effectiveness, it is as easy and pleasant as a leek to appear on the battlefield with this thing, and it only takes a few to get a very big advantage.
It's no wonder that Endymion's prophetic spell feels a bit threatening, and in this magical world where there are no precision-guided weapons and no anti-armor power, the appearance of the magic mecha is bound to cause an uproar.
However, the epoch-making weapon is under the ass of Ann Yizhi, the middle and second disease......
Watching the escape pod of apple tea fly out of the distance, An Yizhi was about to chant two lines of poetry to meet the situation, and Fast took the first step and said:
"Mr. An, there are another large energy sources, this time it's three! The rest of the Wizard Mechs have been activated! ”
On her side of the magic screen were three strong red dots, and they were so close that it wasn't hard to guess what they were.
"Let me see the performance of the Imperial Army MS!"
An Yizhi said inexplicable lines in his mouth and stepped on the jump control pedal.
Machine 5 crouched slightly, and then jumped towards the shed of machine 3, and at the same time, An Yizhi controlled his arm to turn the long sword upside down, and used the impact of the fall to stab hard!
With a loud noise of metal twisting and deformation, the sword pierced through Shed 3, and a ray of fire appeared under the canvas of the shed.
- Boom!
The structure was violently damaged, and the short circuit of the magic guide line, combined with the power source full of magic power, created a big explosion.
The armor of the magic guide mecha has the ability to protect against energy impacts, and it is estimated that it was specially developed to deal with Endymion's magic guide cannon, so even if it encounters a self-detonation at close range, the No. 5 machine has no damage at all except for some scorched black. It was like the Knight of the Apocalypse slowly coming out of the flames.
The third machine died before it came out, and it is said that the empire's magic mecha came out, and the first kill record turned out to be someone else's own mecha, I don't know how they felt.
"Why should the weak fight! With such superb technical strength but so weak, why don't you give it to me, hahahaha! ”
Before the bullying started, An Yizhi didn't feel any shame at all, and read the lines aloud and laughed.
As the saying goes, don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced by lightning. Retribution was not long in coming.
Shed No. 2 was rudely torn open from the inside by the mecha, and the shape was exactly the same, and the No. 2 machine with the number 2 printed on it aimed its left arm at the laughing An Yizhi.
A crackling sound resembling a dense electric shock rang out, a blinding blue light mixed with the sound of the wheels turning......
- Da Da.
This reminded Ann of the 'Gatling with blue fire', but the bullets fired by the other side quickly turned into red-hot fireballs with strong buzzes as they flew out of the barrel.
It turned out that the fruit purchased from the village of Corinnnan was ammunition for it!
That fruit requires a D-rank lightning spell to activate, and it can burst with a power comparable to that of a fireball spell.
Normally, it doesn't work, but the Empire's alchemists have been hit by a device that can emit 'D-class electric shock power', but since it is not an electric shock attack, it consumes much less energy than D-class spells, just enough to activate those fruits. The launcher resembles a simple potato cannon, using compressed air to push the fruit through an electric current to compensate for the barrel.
But now is not the time to study the principle, countless fireballs are coming from the hood, and An Yizhi, who has just been unbeatable, can only dodge left and right in embarrassment, but the movement of the magic mecha is not very good, the other party can keep up with his movement trajectory as long as he gently turns his arm, Rao is armor has anti-magic characteristics, and it will shatter if it is hit continuously by fireballs!
"The hosts! With a thruster! ”
Mixed with the cacophony of sirens, Hela hastened to warn.
"Thrusters? Where is it? ”
"The lever on your left!"
An pointed down and found a lever that resembled the one used in the cockpit of an airplane. Control the mech to block the cockpit with the shield on its left arm while pushing the lever all the way down!
- Wow!
At first it was a very subtle, high-pitched beep, then it turned into a rumbling pop.
The thrusters behind the No. 5 machine glow with a dazzling blue light, propelling the 18-meter-tall behemoth forward!
"The close battle is in my favor!"
Although this meme is not too big or small, there are no problems this time.
Seeing this, Unit 2 was about to retreat, but the incomplete shed behind it hindered its movement, and by the time he thought about jumping, Unit 5 was already close to the point of putting its face to its face.
"That's my distance!"
With An Yizhi's bold words and the loud noise that resounded in the sky, the two steel giants collided with each other without reservation. The difference is that the V-shaped blue light in the latter's eyes gradually dims.
- The long sword pierced through the cockpit of the No. 2 machine!
An Yizhi gave full play to the strategy of never cutting the cockpit if he could cut the cockpit, but the two magic mechs collided together, and regardless of whether the mechanical structure with the help of unscientific forces such as magic could withstand it, the people in the cockpit might not be able to.
An, who had just slashed out the No. 2 machine with a single blow, had no time to be stupid, and covered his head and hummed along with Fast and Hela, otherwise he didn't know what lines he would say.
After all, it is a testing machine, and there is no such thing as an airbag, but fortunately, the designers of the ancient elves have considered this problem and added a shock absorption function to the cockpit, otherwise the cockpit will be a mess now.
"The pilot of machine 5, you are the mage who just used the Bigby King Kong fist."
Kill two in a row, giving the first unit enough time to start. And it was driven by Fred, the main person in charge of the operation.
His No. 1 machine walked out of the shed, his sword and shield were complete, and his voice came from the loudspeaker:
"My name is Fred. Nelson, Major of the Imperial Army's Classified Test Unit. ”
He said this to mean that he wanted An Yizhi to report his name, which was a little polite between opponents.
It's a pity that An Yizhi is still in the stage of full recovery of secondary two diseases.
"Char Aznable, uh, no."
Unit 5 is not red, and it should not be in the scene.
"Ali. Al. Thaxieth, a mercenary who loves war to the extreme! ”
That doesn't seem to be the right fit......
Fred didn't know that An Yizhi was playing with a stalk, and he thought that An Yizhi was wrong because there were too many fake names. Many of the adventurers use pseudonyms.
But the name doesn't matter, the focus is on the identity of the other party, it sounds like a mercenary?
"The Holy Kingdom actually let a mage who can use B-grade spells as a mercenary, it is extremely incompetent! Presumably you have also received the oppression of those old antiques, come to my Imperial Army, no matter how much they pay you, our Imperial Army can give you double! Let's overthrow the corrupt rule of the Holy Kingdom together! ”
The empire believes in the law of the jungle, where the capable will be reused, and the incompetent, no matter how prominent their backgrounds are, even if they are princes, they can only go out and become commoners.
Fred wanted Raan to point to him, a mage who can use B-grade spells is no worse than him in combat power, and gathering talents is also the basic national policy of the empire for so long.
However, they could never have imagined that the cockpit of the No. 5 plane was a fun-loving joke.
"Who understands what you say!"
Continuing to play with the stalk, Ann Yizhi took advantage of Fred's chatter to ease his senses, and made a big jump and slash to the No. 1 machine.
"It's a pity that you chose the wrong one!"
The success just now gave An Yizhi the illusion that 'close combat is beneficial to me', and this time it is really an illusion.
Machine No. 1 took a half step back, let go of the sharp blade, and the shield of its left arm slammed into the top of No. 5's head, and the powerful force directly deformed the fragile head structure.
As the direct leader of the plan, Fred was naturally well aware of the weaknesses of the magic mecha.
A series of snowflakes on the display made An Yizhi temporarily lose his ability to observe.
"It's just that the main monitor has been blown up!"
He's still playing with memes.
The weapon system controlled by Fast's side was not fully unlocked, so there wasn't much she could control. I saw her quickly close the main viewfinder and turn on the sub-viewfinder under Hela's guidance, so that the picture could return to the monitor. I just saw the sword of the No. 1 machine pointed straight at the cockpit!
At the last moment, Ann grabbed the ball with his fingers, allowing his left arm to block in front of the cockpit.
The diamond-shaped arm shield with an inclined plane was strengthened with great intensity, and the long sword failed to pierce it directly, but instead deflected the blade and stabbed it to the ground, leaving an extremely deep mark on the shield.
Close combat is in my favor, this is indeed an illusion of Yasuchi Tome, and if you look at his game history, you will know that this thing rarely has the opportunity to fight in close quarters, let alone the spells used, and at this time it is hand-to-hand combat.
There are just a few tricks that come and go, but he has some experience in using the shield, thanks to the actual combat experience brought to him by the Void Hugging the Great Shield, and also because the pilot of the No. 1 machine is also a mage, not very good at close combat, otherwise he would have been hacked by someone long ago as a little white who had just touched the mecha.
To put it bluntly, these two people are rookies pecking at each other, and they are on a par. Changing to other drivers who are good at melee combat will definitely play more skillfully than them.
What Fred couldn't stand the most was that the grandson in front of him would fight, and some inexplicable lines kept popping out of his mouth.
"I'll fix the world distortions!"
"If you don't hit, there's no point!"
"Legs are just ornaments, and the big guys on it won't understand!"
"Destroy the building!"
It's annoying!
Could it be that the other party is actually mentally ill?
In fact, Fred's guess is very close......
During this period, Fast proposed more than once to activate the escape pod and run away, anyway, as long as he knew what the Imperial Army was thinking, it would be enough to give the magic city a chance to study the means of countermeasures, and there was no need to fight here to the death.
But An Yizhi disagreed, he was playing well.
The rookies won't peck each other for long, the Empire's encryption system is more complicated than Hella thought, like the 'Gatling' used by the previous 2 machine is always divided by the locked state, Hella said it will take more time to crack. Not to mention other weapon systems.
Fred quickly realized that the other party was only making the magic mech move, and could not control its weapon system. That's a huge advantage for him!
With a choking, the two long swords collided together, and this is an unknown number of wrestling.
"Activate the Waist Energy Cannon."
"Yes!"
It was also a two-man operation, and the weapon operator on Fred's side immediately activated the weapon.
The two square structures at the waist of the No. 1 suddenly turned, revealing a black cannon muzzle.
"There is a high energy response! Mr. Ahn, dodge! ”
Fast can't operate weapons, but there is an early warning function.
Ann pointed and listened, and immediately withdrew the long sword, stepping on the pedal to jump away.
At that moment, compressed high-energy magic power gushed out from the muzzle of the cannon, and although An Yizhi tried his best to dodge, he was still hit in the left leg, and with a faint explosion of sparks, a large piece of armor on the leg of the fifth machine was directly slashed off, revealing a complex mechanical structure.
"And this kind of operation?"
An Yizhi always thought that this thing could only be used in hand-to-hand combat.
In shock, he used the impact of the fall to plan to pierce the opponent with a long sword, but was dodged by the No. 1 machine that had detected it early, and the long sword stabbed into the ground.
"How's Hela's weapon unlocked?"
"It's going to take some time."
The encryption methods of the Imperial Army are obviously not weak, otherwise Hela's ability would have been completely unlocked long ago.
"Mr. An, let's retreat quickly, the other party is rushing up!"
At this level, you should retreat when you see it, but An Yizhi is on the rise, how can he give up so easily.
He looked at the approaching No. 1 machine, and the other party seemed to feel that the victory was in hand, but he was not in a hurry.
"Turn up the power of the thrusters to the maximum!"
An Yiyi said to Hela and pushed down the jet lever again, the thruster behind him flickered twice, and the fire erupted more intensely than the last time.
Although the No. 1 machine took two steps back in order to avoid the long sword, the two mechs were still in a face-to-face state, and the thrusters that suddenly activated only put them close together, and they couldn't dodge at all.
The other party is also a novice, even if you are familiar with the functions and advantages of each component, the operation is useless.
"It's not the same as Zagu! It's not the same! ”
Shouting lines, the No. 5 machine didn't intend to pull out the long sword inserted into the soil at all, and directly opened his hands and hugged the upper body of the No. 1 machine to death.
What the hell is Zagu!
Fred wanted to scream, but the impact made him hold his mouth back.
The two mechs walked through half of the barracks in a hugging position, and the thrusters with full power and arms of equal power made Unit 1 have neither the time nor the ability to break the hands of Unit 5.
But this thing is not designed to fly, it is only used as a means of rapid movement over short distances, and not only will the energy be consumed quickly when it is turned on for a long time, but the thrusters will also be very prone to heat and overload.
The cockpit was blaring with alarms, a glaring red alert on the screen, and he was about to explode if he didn't turn off the thrusters.
And this is also the effect that An Yizhi wants to get!
Using the thruster that began to overload, the No. 5 machine pressed the No. 1 machine to the ground, and at the same time, An Yizhi reached out and broke the escape lever.
"Disappear in the light!"
With one last line, the cockpit of the fifth flew out from behind, leaving behind the body, which was getting brighter and brighter due to overheating, and then .......
Rumble!!!!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
On the other side, Appletea climbed out of the cockpit and looked at the hot Imperial Army camp.
"Brother An, you can't play too much, forget about business, right?"
In a word, it is a prophecy.
The escape pod flew far away and landed on a hillside, no matter how fierce the fight below was, Apple Tea didn't want to go back.
"Mr. Apple, what is this?"
Two harpies landed near him and asked.
The harpy banshees, who were originally on standby around the battlefield, were a little curious when they saw the escape pod flying out, so two of them came over to check.
"Well, it's just a magical machine, and I don't know much about it......"
Explaining to the Harpys what Gundam is would probably be very inky, Apple Tea prevaricated and then remembered one thing:
"By the way, can you send her to a city on the other side of the Empire?"
Appletea said as she dragged out a halfling girl from the cockpit who had passed out.
"No problem......
The two harpies glanced at each other:
"But aren't you enemies?"
"I just don't want such a beautiful girl to go to war again."
Apple Tea smiled shyly, took out a piece of paper and wrote, 'Don't come again, Apple Tea stays', and then stuffed it into the girl's hand.
After thinking about it, it wasn't appropriate, and in the end I couldn't help but add a sentence to the back of the note.
'Have you had a date next time?' ’
Seeing the harpies go away with the halfling girls, Apple Tea thought to herself.
War, it's not a thing.
