When the mutated beasts appeared on the floating city, the Arcanists were already prepared for battle.
Rows of Arcana Puppets formed a dense phalanx, blocking the Arcanists' path.
They came in all kinds of shapes and sizes, covering most of the positions on the battlefield.
At the very front was a row of especially tall and sturdy Arcana Puppets.
Most of them were already ten meters tall.
Compared to other puppets, their bodies were almost completely covered in metal components, and they were especially thick and sturdy. The surface of the metal components was etched with all kinds of strange magic patterns and arcane spells. The surging arcane energy in their bodies seeped through the gaps between the components, condensing into an arcane barrier on the surface of their bodies.
The sturdiness of red copper, coupled with the good magic conductivity of magic silver, made them powerful war puppets that cultivated both magic and martial arts. Their weapons were the huge metal fists and the terrifying giant legs that were two meters thick.
When they stood in a row and charged at the enemy, the whole world would tremble and tremble.
Behind the war puppets were rows of three-meter-tall battle puppets that were carved and polished to look like steel knights. They were like human knights wearing full sets of steel armor, holding two steel swords that were one and a half meters long in their hands.
They followed closely behind the war puppets, waving the swords in their hands as if they were flying. It was obvious that they were playing the role of a guerrilla.
Behind the steel guards were a large number of ordinary Arcana Puppets.
Although they were slightly weaker in melee combat, they all had the strange ability to release energy balls. Therefore, they played the role of long-range attackers in the team.
As for the human Arcanists, they all hid in their Arcana Towers, where they controlled the powerful Arcana facilities and created a storm of lightning above the battlefield.
On a battlefield like this, there was almost no space for Arcana Apprentices to use their abilities. Therefore, they were all sent to the inner ring of the floating city and concentrated there for protection.
At the beginning, there were very few mutated beasts that charged up the floating city, and they couldn't break through the strong defense line formed by the arcane puppets at all. One aberrant beast after another charged forward, but before they touched the War Puppets in the first row, they were blown into smithereens by the raining energy balls.
But as time went on, more and more mutated beasts rushed up the stone pillars to the floating city. Even the sky was occupied by mutated beasts of black and red color, roaring as they flew.
There was a dull thud.
The Evil Hoof appeared in front of the arcane puppets' defensive line with a powerful aura. It looked at the puppets and raised its body, its lotus petal-shaped mouth trembling rapidly.
It was as if a trumpeter had sounded the charge horn. More and more Mutated Beasts immediately roared and charged at the puppet defense line.
The lightning storm that had long gathered at the frontlines of the battlefield erupted. Thick bolts of lightning struck down, electrifying the Aberrant Beasts one after another. Green smoke rose from their bodies, and their Life Energy dropped rapidly.
But the Aberrant Beasts were obviously not afraid of death. They were like a flood that had opened the floodgates, crossing the minefield and colliding head-on with the first row of War Puppets.
The War Puppets that were like steel giants stood still, kicking and punching, forcibly cutting the black torrent into even finer black lines. The Aberrant Beasts that broke through the War Puppets immediately tangled with the Steel Guards.
Dong dong dong …
Boom boom boom …
Kacha kacha kacha …
All kinds of strange sounds intertwined at the frontlines of the battlefield, deafening, and the smell of blood rose to the sky.
With a dull thud, Grimm stepped out of an exploding ring of flames, ignoring the few Aberrant Beasts that had been burnt to ashes beside him. He focused his eyes and peered at the battlefield from afar.
At this time, the battle was mainly concentrated in the outer ring.
A large number of arcanists sent by the floating city, with the help of the Arcane Puppets and Arcane Towers, forcibly blocked the Aberrant Beasts outside. Within his field of vision, there was a battlefield of blood and flesh flying everywhere. There were death zones overflowing with energy everywhere. On the contrary, the inner ring of the floating city was unusually quiet.
"What do you think? Let's charge into the inner ring and kill some people while we're at it, shall we? " A few hundred meters away from Grimm, Wizard Holly, who was wrapped in his ectoplasm armor, had just set foot on the surface of the floating city.
Behind the two of them, Qiu Lisha had used some unknown method to hide herself, and was also secretly peeking at the battlefield.
"The arcanists' line of defense can only stop the Aberrant Beasts, not us. However, we don't know anything about the situation inside. If we just charge in like this, it'll be easy for us to be ambushed by the arcanists … "Grimm thought for a moment and rejected Wizard Holly's suggestion.
"Then what you're saying is …" Wizard Holly said hesitantly.
"Help Xie Hoof open up a path in the line of defense and let some of the Aberrant Beasts into the inner ring. Then, we'll sneak in and do something big. This way, with the Aberrant Beasts distracting us, the chances of us being ambushed will be much lower! "
"Alright, we'll do as you say!"
After a simple discussion, the two extremely daring Magi immediately began to move.
When it came to overcoming difficulties, Wizard Holly, who had the ectoplasm armor, was much easier to deal with than Grimm.
He mixed in with the group of Aberrant Beasts and continued to advance forward. Before the lightning could even get close to his body, it was scattered into electrical energy by the strange starlight.
When he was about a hundred meters away from a War Puppet, he suddenly raised both of his hands and condensed a beam of light that was half a meter thick between his palms. In an instant, he shot it towards his opponent.
Strangely, this beam of light actually penetrated the arcane barrier of the War Puppet and shone directly on its huge, thick metal chest.
Eh, what kind of light is this? Why can't I feel the energy aura it should have? Without the support of energy, what kind of harm can this light do?
Just as Grimm was feeling puzzled, the seemingly harmless beam of light suddenly emitted specks of starlight and began to quickly corrode the metal body of the War Puppet. He didn't know what kind of energy the starlight was made of, but it actually had a very strong corrosive effect on metal.
Visible to the naked eye, the metal on the War Puppet's chest was dissolved by the starlight like powder, peeling off layer by layer.
A small pit quickly appeared!
The Arcanist controlling the War Puppet in the arcane tower far away was the first to realize something was wrong. He immediately controlled the War Puppet to move horizontally, trying to avoid this strange beam of light.
However, the body of the War Puppet was too big, and its movement could not compare to the beam of light in Wizard Holly's palm. Therefore, under the rapid corrosion of the starlight, the pit quickly collapsed, almost corroding through the one meter thick chest of the War Puppet.
Below the chest was the most important energy core of the War Puppet.
Once the arcane energy core was damaged, even if the other parts of the War Puppet did not suffer much damage, it would still be a fatal blow. From then on, it would become a pile of useless copper and iron.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the arcane tower in the distance suddenly shone brightly. A wild chain of lightning snaked across the battlefield for thousands of meters and struck towards Wizard Holly.
Grimm frowned and pointed his finger. Wild fire elements quickly gathered on the surface of Wizard Holly's body, trying to condense into a lava shield to block the damage.
However, under the illumination of the starlight from Wizard Holly's ectoplasmic armor, the lava shield suddenly dissipated into a sea of fire before it could even form. It had lost its defensive ability.
Wizard Holly's starlight seemed to attack indiscriminately. Even the buffs of his allies could be blocked outside.
Just when Grimm and Wizard Holly were about to take this violent attack from the arcane tower, a thick stone pillar rose up from the center of the battlefield, blocking the path of the wild chain of lightning.
Crack …
Following a loud explosion, the wild chain of lightning turned the thick stone pillar into a bright red, and the powerful energy that could not be released blew it into pieces.
It was Evil Hoof … It was the one who blocked that attack!
Grimm's burning eyes swept over. That Evil Hoof emerged from the group of alienated beasts and roared ferociously, "Attack … Attack … Keep attacking! Just focus on attacking that big guy. I'll block the rest for you. If you can take it down, I'll give you a lot of resources! "
"You mean what you say? Watch me! "Wizard Holly was overjoyed, and the thick beam of light between his palms became more and more intense.
Grimm sneered and continued to stride forward.
As he moved forward, he shot out dark and restrained fireballs from his hands.
These fireballs were obviously different from normal witchcraft fireballs. They contained a strong and strange power of the law of fire. Even if it was a lifeless arcane puppet, it would still feel a strange 'pain' when hit by a fireball like this.
Those rank 1 arcane puppets were engulfed by the fireballs, and the metal rings around them would immediately melt. Therefore, Grimm's blazing fireballs were like cannonballs exploding in the formation of arcane puppets, blowing them to the ground one by one. It was like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
Even those rank 2 steel guards could not withstand the bombardment of two or three blazing fireballs.
Therefore, under Grimm's crazy bombardment, a path of fire appeared through the puppets' defensive line!
Just as the arcanists were frantically trying to deploy arcane puppets from other regions to fill in the gaps, a series of explosions suddenly rang out from within the ten-meter-tall War Puppet's body. Countless metal parts and components on its body were blasted away.
It swayed its huge body, staggered two steps forward, and finally fell to the ground on its back.
When its heavy body fell, it even crushed the ground that had been strengthened by hundreds of arcane spells.
The fall of the war puppet also opened a path to the inner ring on the main battlefield that stretched for several kilometers. Countless aberrant beasts trampled over its remains, traversing the path of flames and charging unstoppably towards the inner ring of the floating city.
