The Iron Golem.
As the name suggested, it was a humanoid construct made of steel.
The Iron Golem was usually 12 feet (about 3.65 meters) high and weighed about 5,000 pounds (about 2,268 kilograms).
The Iron Golem had a humanoid body made of steel. The surface of their bodies was smooth and dazzling, and the metal shell was etched with dense rune lines and patterns. In order to better protect the internal control center and energy center, the chest of the Iron Golem was unusually broad.
Their attack and defense were mainly completed by the giant tower shield in their left hand and the giant metal sword in their right hand. Once these weapons were damaged, it would be terrifying if they swung their iron fists to hit people.
Creating a Golem Puppet was undoubtedly a demanding job. The cost was considerable, the process was rigorous, the requirements were strict, and it took a long time. It required a large amount of money, sophisticated consumables, and the cooperation of several or even dozens of wizards and apprentices. In the final stage of assembly and activation, there must be a high-grade wizard who was proficient in Construct Activation.
With so many harsh conditions, this thing became a money-burning item that only large-scale Magus organisations could afford to play with. Without the support of a huge wizard tower's energy pool and income, such an iron golem legion would be difficult to form.
But today, this group of witches and apprentices who were inexplicably brought here had to fight such a terrible iron legion. At this moment, their hearts almost collapsed!
With the weak witchcraft attack power of the witch apprentices, it was impossible to penetrate the thick, all-metal magic-resistant body of the Iron Golem. No matter how many defensive spells or forcefields they cast on their frail bodies, they would not be able to withstand the slashes of the opponent's heavy greatswords.
This … How could such a battle be carried out!
Almost before the battle began, the witches and apprentices had completely lost confidence!
However, there was no chance to surrender or escape on such a battlefield, so the witches and apprentices reluctantly raised their spirits and began to work together to defend and protect themselves.
They could clearly see that there were no signs of the three Fated Ones in their group. This also meant that they had "reinforcements" outside of this special "scene." Although the other side could not help them wholeheartedly, as long as the other side did not want the hidden guy to win, then destroying the enemy's "slaughter" plan was undoubtedly a very cost-effective choice.
This thought was the only thing that kept the Awakened ones from collapsing.
The entire arena was 200 meters wide and 500 meters long. It was more than enough to accommodate a lot of people. However, in the face of the Great Steel Wall, the witches' activity space was undoubtedly greatly limited, and they could only occupy nearly a third of the arena.
And as the Iron Man Army marched forward in unison, this space was still slowly shrinking.
"Hold them off … Hold them off … We can't let them go any further …" A witch screamed, "Everyone who has mastered the 'Swamp Spell' and 'Quicksand Spell', throw them at their feet …"
With someone taking command, the team, which was in a mess just now, immediately had a backbone.
Amidst the violent elemental turbulence, gray light rays and halos fell on the feet of the first row of Iron Golems.
The ground of the arena was made of rough and solid dark soil, which did not have any magic resistance, so the witches and apprentices' first wave of attacks immediately took effect. Under the effect of witchcraft, the dark soil almost instantly turned into soft quicksand and stinking swamps filled with sludge and rotting liquid.
The first row of Iron Golems was still moving forward with difficulty, but their thick metal legs were stuck in the swamp and could not be pulled out. Under the pressure of their huge weight, they sank deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of their bodies were submerged in the mud.
It seemed that someone was controlling them from behind.
The second row of Iron Golems actually stopped at the edge of the witchcraft swamp. They hung the giant metal sword in their right hands back to their waists, and then pulled out short metal spears from their backs …
"Get ready to dodge …"
"Be careful of the spears …"
The witches immediately shouted at the top of their lungs.
But the next moment, their voices were covered by the sharp sound of spears piercing through the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Ten one-meter-long metal spears with the thickness of an egg whistled through the air, and with terrifying power, they pierced into the temporary team of witches and apprentices.
Although the tactics were crude and the attack simple, the effect was extremely good.
Two witches who could not dodge in time were pierced by the metal spears and nailed to the ground alive. Although they did not die immediately, the pierced thighs or shoulders made them unable to move.
They endured the severe pain and desperately called for help, but the few apprentices who rushed over could not do anything to the metal spears that were nearly half buried in the mud.
And just when they were in a panic, a witch apprentice's scream made everyone's heart suddenly tighten.
"Be careful … they are still throwing …"
This time, it was not just the second row.
The third row of Iron Golems also changed their weapons to metal spears, and this time, they threw 20 spears …
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
After the more intense sound of breaking through the air, the slightly panicked witches became a pot of porridge.
With the witches' defensive means, it was difficult for such a simple physical attack to break their defensive witchcraft, but the apprentices obviously could not reach this level. Therefore, in the dense storm of metal spears, the witches became the biggest victims.
In addition to an unlucky person who died on the spot after his skull was pierced, seven witches had been pierced by the metal spears and nailed to the ground one after another.
And everywhere in the field was their painful wails and cries for help!
Such a scene was undoubtedly a great stimulation and torture for the witches who were not injured for the time being. They panicked and ran around, took out various magic items of different shapes, and desperately blessed themselves with defensive witchcraft that could resist physical attacks.
"We can't just be beaten here …" The witch with a gloomy face shouted, "Fight back … fight back quickly … use all your means … fight back quickly …"
Under her shouts, the witches and apprentices immediately started chanting witchcraft incantations loudly, and took out plant seeds or strange beast bones from their bosoms to cast spells.
After a few flicks of their fingers, the witches' counterattack fell on the Iron Golems twenty meters away.
As soon as the plant seeds fell to the ground, they drilled into the ground. After a moment, as the earth cracked and dust flew, vines and plant roots as thick as a child's arm stretched out from the ground, like giant snakes, and coiled around the Iron Golems.
Hiss …
With a strange hissing sound, the tender shoots on the plant roots quickly twisted into a ball, forming a strange green mouth, and crazily gnawed on the metalized bodies of the Iron Golems. While gnawing, the green mouth flowed with sticky rotten liquid, which fell on the metal bodies of the Iron Golems and emitted traces of corrosive green smoke.
While the green summoned creatures and the Iron Golems were entangled, bone spikes that were as dense as locusts rained down on them.
Clang, clang, clang …
The sharp bone spikes exploded on the sturdy body of the Iron Golem, shattering into bone fragments that filled the sky. Unfortunately, apart from leaving white marks, they did not cause any visible surface damage to the Iron Golems.
The magic iron alloy used to cast the Iron Golems had an outstanding defense effect, and ordinary witchcraft and attacks could not hurt them at all. Only a more powerful witchcraft or a super strong physical attack that exceeded the upper limit of their defense could possibly destroy them.
Almost none of the witches and apprentices had these!
However, the Creeping Monsters that drilled in all directions caused some confusion among the Iron Golems. Seeing the monsters made of catalyzed plants fighting against the Iron Golems, the fiery scene was so intense that it almost made one's breath stop.
With the Creeping Monsters' antics and the witches' joint attack, three Iron Golems had fallen one after another with black smoke rising from their bodies.
Thus, the witches who had tasted the sweetness immediately summoned more elemental creatures and summoned creatures. Even if they could not effectively kill the Iron Golems, they tried their best to disrupt the enemy's formation.
Just as the first three rows of Iron Golems fell into chaos, the last two rows of Iron Golems unexpectedly turned to the left and right sides, bypassing the swamp area and continuing to attack. As for the metal spears, they were continuously thrown at the area occupied by the witches.
Separated by a small swamp that was less than 20 meters wide, the two sides attacked each other with all their might …
He ran with all his strength, panting, and chanting witchcraft incantations in a trembling voice. He threw acid balls at the joints of the Iron Golems in the distance, and then tried his best to dodge the metal javelins that came at him with sharp whistling sounds.
In the narrow space of less than 130 square meters, more than 50 witches and apprentices dodged the attacks and fought back with all their might. Everyone was busy. At their feet and beside them, apprentices fell one after another, their bodies pierced by one or two heavy short spears that were as thick as eggs …
In the midst of this chaos, a mysterious girl with a thin figure in a black robe was strangely wandering in the bloody and cruel battlefield.
It was very strange, really very strange!
The chaos of the battlefield formed a sharp contrast with her calmness. Everything seemed so out of place. However, she still calmly walked beside the witch apprentice who was running and crying at full speed.
Suddenly, she stopped and squatted beside a witch apprentice whose right shoulder was nailed to the ground by a metal spear. The witch apprentice, who was struggling in pain but unable to get rid of the shackles, had already screamed hoarsely. The huge dark blood swamp covered her body, and she had no strength to call for help.
It was not until the girl's figure blocked the strong dazzling light that the dying witch apprentice could barely open her eyes and "see" the girl.
She had a slender figure, a thin and beautiful face, and the eyebrows on her face could not be seen clearly against the strong background light. But Roland's gentle smile and charisma made people want to get close to her, so the witch apprentice could only tremble and let out her last whimper to her.
"Save … save me … I … don't want … to die …"
Her words were so intermittent that it was enough to show that her life was about to be completely exhausted.
She was already on the verge of death!
The mysterious girl stretched out her crystal-clear and holy palm, covered her eyes, and softly whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'm here!"
However, the next second, the dying witch apprentice's body shook, and her eyes, which had lost all their strength, suddenly opened to the extreme, shooting out a complex light of resentment, anger, and confusion.
But after a moment, with the last of her life, all the light in her eyes disappeared.
