It was the first round of the battle.
The Dragonoid Warriors were slightly injured, while the Goblin Army was heavily injured!
As the Dragonoid Warriors charged into the Goblin Army, the casualties of the Goblin Army skyrocketed to a point where it was almost unbearable to look at!
With the protection of its metal shell, the Goblins were able to accurately conceal their weak strength and low combat ability. However, the destructive power that they could unleash was mainly provided by the magical weapons and explosive weapons carried by the metal Goblins.
Although the attacks of these weapons were endless, there was an obvious upper limit to their power.
For example, the explosive weapons were mainly metal projectiles propelled by high-explosive explosives. However, for such attacks, no matter how perfect the craftsmanship was and how well-designed the weapons were, the upper limit of the physical damage would not exceed 30 degrees.
Magical weapons, on the other hand, mainly relied on magical energy stimulated by magical batteries. When the violent magical energy accumulated to a certain extent, it would naturally cause considerable energy damage to the creatures of the plane.
However, the magical weapons developed by the Goblins were clearly low-end goods, and the energy damage they caused hovered between 35 to 80 degrees. Although such intensity was enough to cause a certain amount of damage to the Dragonoids, it was a pity that the wounds were only superficial and not fatal.
Meanwhile, the Dragonoid Warriors who were blasted by the magical fireballs did not retreat. Instead, they became even more valiant and violent. They waved the lightning spears in their hands, using Chain Lightning from afar and stabbing and smashing with the spears at close range. Every close-range attack was usually accompanied by a rampaging tide of thunder and lightning.
The scattered lightning clearly could not break through the extraordinary magic resistance of the Dragonoid Warriors. They were directly blocked by the indigo dark scales and could not hurt them at all. However, the Goblin Army that was fighting them could not do the same.
The Goblin Army did not have an advantage in terms of size, weight, or attack power. Moreover, they were constantly emitting sparks from the lightning. Therefore, when the Goblin Army engaged in a chaotic battle, the Goblin Army was almost completely crushed by the Dragonoid Warriors.
Even as the defense line of the Goblin Army was broken, the Goblin Army behind them was also attacked by the Dragonoid Warriors. The Goblin Warriors scattered around the Goblin Army to protect the Goblin Army became the targets of the Dragonoid Warriors.
It wasn't that the weapons developed by the goblin engineers were useless. It was just that their individual power was too weak. It would be difficult for them to break through the lightning barrier and the tough and impenetrable scales of the Draconians. So once the defensive line was breached, the combat strength of the entire Goblin army began to rapidly decline.
One by one, the gnome warriors were chased away by the Dragonmen. They couldn't even maintain their defensive line, let alone launch an orderly attack!
In less than 15 minutes, the 30 Dragonoid Warriors dispersed the 700-strong Goblin army, and the number of Goblins that died on the battlefield was as high as 300. As for the Dragonmen, there were no casualties. Although most of the Drakonid's bodies had sporadic damage and wounds, as time went on, those wounds and wounds were closing and healing at a visible speed.
From this, one could see the terrifying regenerative ability of the dragonman race!
As the Goblins fled, the Dragonoid scouts split into ten squads, each consisting of three Dragonoids. They chased after the Goblins and slaughtered wantonly.
Given the Dragonmen's usual style of governance, they would first slaughter their opponents before taking them in as servants. On one hand, it was a way to vent their wild and violent instincts, while on the other, it was a way to establish the glorious image of the Dragonmen as powerful and invincible!
… …
As the scattered gnomes fled in all directions, in the underground tunnels of the Steel City, a hunt and a counter-hunt were taking place at the same time.
A goblin chariot that had escaped from the battlefield roared as it charged out from the other end of the tunnel. Its metal wheels spun madly on the stone floor, sparks flying everywhere as it left two clear tracks behind it.
The Goblin chariot staggered forward, kicking up dazzling sparks against the stone walls of the tunnel even as it charged the magical cannons at the top of the chariot, bombarding the massive silhouette that was hot on its tail. Meanwhile, the flintlock at the back of the chariot also fired streaks of metal, hitting the aqua blue lightning barrier in front of the silhouette and causing it to crackle.
If it had gotten any closer, the Goblin chariot would have fired another stream of crimson flames, engulfing the massive silhouette and everything around it in the surging flames.
Unfortunately, even if the Goblin chariot unleashed 200% of its combat power, it could not effectively harm the terrifying silhouette that was hot on its tail. Most of the time, the Goblin chariot would even drift left and right across a wide area under the crazy chariot captain's control to shake off the dazzling bolts of lightning that were hurtling towards it.
Although the Goblin chariot's attacks could only deal minuscule damage to the Dragonmen, the cumulative damage was considerable. But now that it lacked the protection of combat magic machinery, the Goblin chariot could only run and fight, doing its best to create trouble for the enemy.
The Goblin chariot could not harm the Dragonmen, but on the other hand, the Dragonmen's attacks would definitely pierce through the 50-centimeter-thick steel plates of the Goblin chariot. As for the Goblins wearing thin leather armor inside the chariot, they would instantly be reduced to ashes.
After all, most Goblin Warriors were ordinary creatures, and their basic attributes were incomparable to the Dragonmen. Without the protection of the chariot, they were like a pile of ashes before the Dragonmen. They would be gone if the Dragonmen used a little more strength.
The chariot was running wildly, the cannons were roaring furiously, and the churning crimson flames surged in the tunnel …
However, the Dragonman Warrior did not seem to feel anything, and kept swaying its heavy body as it chased after the chariot. Due to the complexity and twists of the underground tunnel, it had already lost contact with its two companions. However, the little rat that was running away in front of it had successfully incited its rage, and it followed behind the Dragonman without a care in the world, passing through one tunnel after another and turning one corner after another.
However, just as they darted into a rather narrow passageway, the furious and berserk Drakonid scout suddenly stopped. Its triangular draconic head looked left and right swiftly, the lightning spear in its hand glinting with electricity, occasionally unleashing frightening bolts that wandered about.
* Thud thud thud thud … *
Four dull thuds rang out consecutively. Four different combat machines appeared before the Drakonid's eyes from both sides of the tunnel. Two at the front and two at the back, perfectly sealing off the Dragonman's escape routes.
It's a trap!
The Dragonman Scout did not even need to guess to guess what was hidden behind the scene before it.
Although it had fallen into the enemy's trap, the Dragonman Scout did not show any fear. Instead, it slowly moved its neck and wrists, swinging its lightning spear like the wind and taking the initiative to attack the two enemies in front of it.
Four Grade 2 Magic Machinery!
On the surface, it seemed that the goblins had the absolute advantage on the battlefield and could take down the Dragonman Scout that had fallen into their death trap with a small price.
However, as the battle began, a duel that left the goblins humiliated happened.
Out of confidence, the four goblins only sent a Grade 2 Magic Machinery to face the Grade 1 Dragonman Scout. However, the outcome of the duel was beyond their expectations. The Grade 1 Dragonman Scout actually killed the Grade 2 Magic Machinery with moderate injuries. Even the goblin Mechanic that was hiding in the Magic Machinery was torn apart by the Dragonman Scout and smashed into meat paste.
The goblins had originally regarded the biological hierarchy as the standard, but there were huge and insurmountable differences between different species.
The combat magic machinery that the goblins regarded as a Grade 2 powerhouse had every single mechanical parameter that seemed to reach the standard of a Grade 2 creature. However, when they were grouped together, they still could not reach the true combat strength of a Grade 2 creature.
In fact, in the eyes of some of the powerful Grade 1 creatures, the goblins' Grade 2 Magic Machinery was just a slightly troublesome toy. The weak body of the goblin Mechanic was obviously unable to unleash the full power of the Grade 2 Magic Machinery, wasting a huge amount of resources.
This undoubtedly made the goblin engineers, inventors, and alchemists hiding far away and watching the battle with their long-range lenses grieved. Hence, this tragic duel made the goblins realize once again the huge difference in strength between them and the invaders from the other plane.
The otherworldly invaders from the higher planes weren't stronger than them in just one aspect. Rather, they were more powerful in all aspects. While the goblins secretly mocked the Dragonmen as a bunch of idiots with muscles but no brains, they did not understand that when a species reached a certain level of strength, it would no longer bother to play tricks and so-called strategies.
No matter who the enemy was, no matter what the enemy wanted to do, the Dragonmen only needed to brace the enemy's cannons and charge in front of them and smash them into meat paste with a single punch. At a time like this, there was no place for crafty plots and schemes. Even strategies and tactics were no longer important!
That was why it was not that the Dragonmen were brainless, but that they would not bother to play tricks on a bunch of weak goblins.
After verifying their combat strength and following the orders of the goblin higher-ups, the remaining three Grade 2 Magic Machinery swarmed forward and finally defeated the Dragonman at the cost of one heavy injury and two light injuries.
Then, a modified Goblin War Chariot dragged the Drakonid captive away at top speed.
By the time the other two Dragonman scouts followed the lingering scent in the air and rushed over, there were no other living beings on the battlefield other than broken pieces of Magic Machinery and a large puddle of blue blood.
The Dragonmen were not stupid, and they quickly noticed the abnormality through the traces of the battlefield.
Hence, with a series of strange roars that were either long or short, thick or thin, the Dragonman scouts quickly reported the situation to their companions.
