Dozens of minutes later, when the fleeing Mars team had gone deep into the dense forest for at least nearly 10 miles, Tangel, who was originally riding on the inferior **, suddenly frowned, and with a wave of his hand, the team of more than 2,000 people led by him immediately stopped moving, and the well-trained Mars royal guards also immediately took action to form a human wall on both sides of the carriage and the tail to protect the family members of the Mars ministers and generals behind them, and the Mars ministers who were wearing cloth clothes and swords at their waists also immediately dismounted. Use the horse's body to block it, then slowly move towards the front of the group.

At first, due to the sudden halt of the team, there were many panicked voices in the team, those from the Mars ministers, the general's family members themselves have not been on the battlefield, and even their concentration is much worse than that of ordinary soldiers, but no matter how bad it is, it is also a noble background, and the elite education received since childhood is definitely much higher than that of ordinary people, and the consequences of panic at this time are not only to be borne by themselves, but even to the whole team, in order for their family to continue to pass on, The members of the Mars family in the team are all doing their own now. So the panic disappeared in less than a few seconds after it sounded, and the surroundings became extremely quiet in an instant, but the old Marshal's brow not only did not relax, but wrinkled even tighter.

Looking at Tangel's sudden movements beside him, all the Mars generals around him instinctively pulled out the swords at their waists, and after looking around for a few seconds, they sent a representative to ask Tangel: "Marshal, what's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

"Did you .......... hear any strange sound just now, similar to the sound of the wheels of a carriage, but different?" Tangle looked around vigilantly, and said to the general Mars: "And have you noticed that this area seems to be a little too quiet, and the silence is terrifying, although it is winter, and most of the insects, birds, and beasts hibernates, but I don't believe that this place is so quiet that there is not even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves." ”

"This ............" The faces of the generals Mars, who had been reminded by Tangel, changed, but at this moment, they remembered a sound of footsteps and a voice with a slightly crepe tone in their rear: "Marshal Tangel, has something happened?" For what troops suddenly stopped advancing. ”

"It turned out to be the ministers of Mars, who scared me." Seeing the ministers of Mars who were dressed in cloth clothes and holding swords coming over, the Mars generals breathed a sigh of relief, but Tangel, who was on the back of an inferior horse, suddenly seemed to fall into a short contemplation, and then his face suddenly changed and roared: "You guys quickly retreat.........

But after all, it was still a step too late, and at the same time as Tanger's shout sounded, a sound of breaking the air and the sound of mechanical gears turning suddenly sounded, and the old marshal sitting on horseback only felt a sudden pain in his right arm, left shoulder, and abdomen, and then relied on the reflexes he had exercised over the years of rolling and crawling on the battlefield to make his body fall to the right and fall off the horse's back.

At the same time, the entire team was attacked, including the wagons. Because the arrows flew from all directions of the team, after a round of shooting, the most seriously injured were not the ministers of Mars who were only wearing a layer of cloth, but the horses purchased from the Dick Empire in the whole team, because those horses were not equipped with any protective gear, not even a cloth robe, so under the attack of a round of arrows, all the horses in the team fell to the ground after a few neighings, and none of them were still standing in the human wall formed by the royal guards of Mars.

The only thing to be thankful for is that since the position of the minister of Mars appeared before was behind the horses led by the generals of Mars, in the rain of arrows, except for a few less fortunate ministers of Mars who were killed by arrows, most of the rest were not injured because there were horses in front of them to block them. But despite this, Tangel, who could make himself faint at any time, looked behind him with a gloomy face after getting up and cutting off the arrows with the sword in his hand so that it would not affect his movement.

On the surface, it is a good thing that most of the people who died at this time were horses rather than people, but Tanger didn't think so, you must know that Lu Dao is still dragging nearly a thousand people and families in his hands now, and the loss of all the horses means that the team can not use the carriage, without the carriage, plus his side has been exposed to the eyes of the sun, it is impossible for him to leave with these nearly 1,000 people.

"The parchment must be returned to the hands of the Great Prince!" Tanger gritted his teeth and thought to himself, but what happened next frightened all the Mars, including Tangel, because they saw a group of mechanical monsters that subverted the scientific theorems of the original world.

Under the dull gaze of the Mars, a mechanical monster with a height of 1.4 meters appeared in front of everyone. These mechanical monsters have a hemispherical size, with an upper body similar to a human skeleton, and their bodies are made of brass-colored steel, or dwarven steel, and on their backs there is a rectangular iron box, on the surface of which there are six small gas pipes protruding, and from time to time emitting white steam, and on either side of the iron box are two steel quivers filled with crossbow arrows. The mystical mechanical monsters have two arms that mount the weapons they use in combat, a retractable blade for melee combat and a pincer for grabbing crossbow arrows on their right arm, and a pulley crossbow on the left hand that is no less small than a knight's crossbow, but it is staggering that it is more powerful than the heavy crossbow in the hands of a giant shield crossbowman.

Of course, that's not the point, the point is that this mechanical monster is actually suspended in mid-air. That's right, not only do these mysterious monsters have no feet, but there are no small wheels on their semi-circular chassis, and the chassis itself is 3 to 4 decimeters away from the ground, and with its body up and down for a while, anyone who is not blind can see that this thing is really floating in mid-air.

The Mars were dumbfounded, but these mechanical monsters weren't, and they weren't blind. Under the blank gaze of the Mars, he used the pincers on his right arm to place the crossbow arrow into the slot of the crossbow fixed to his left arm, and then, as if suddenly losing his buoyancy, he smashed his sturdy hemispherical chassis into the dirt and began to fire arrows at the Mars like a small arrow tower.

PS: Reading this, readers must be curious about what that mechanical monster is all about, right? So Piggy reiterates here again, there is no magic in this world, and there are also small tricks similar to the black magic in the original world, such as voodoo dolls, alchemy potions that make people roar bears, and those who play with fireballs and lightning do not exist. Of course, there is no magic, and there are some materials that are beyond common sense, such as permafrost, and strange materials that will form new permafrost when poured with water.
