The large-scale use of battle magic machinery had always been a huge problem for the higher-ups of the Crimson Family.
If all the battle magic machinery were made with top-grade alloys purified in high-grade alchemy laboratories, the cost of a single magic machinery would be even higher than the golems and runes in the Wizard World.
Therefore, in order to control the cost, most of the battle magic machinery were made with ordinary alloys that had been purified through simple smelting. Only the energy center, energy circulation system, and magic weapon components were made with the latest magic iron alloy.
In order to solve this problem, Gaz Ruwe's huge metal body was quietly building a new factory in addition to the low-tier magic machinery assembly factory that was continuously producing low-tier magic machinery. This new magic machinery factory no longer made low-grade magic machinery like assembly lines. Instead, it gathered many new technologies, new materials, and new ideas, and worked hard to make high-grade magic machinery warriors.
The metal magic machinery that Grim was researching and establishing was only a part of the "magic machinery warrior project"!
This time, Mary ordered a total of 163 battle magic machinery, 160 of which were ordinary magic machinery and 3 special models of "beginner magic machinery warriors".
These 3 "beginner magic machinery warriors" were also experimental machines. They had just been made from the goblin laboratory and were sent to this battlefield to test the practicality of their combat data and the feasibility of their design ideas through cruel actual combat.
From the mouths of the crazy goblin engineers, apart from the basic engineering code, the three beginner Magic Mechanical Warriors also had their own eye-catching nicknames. They were: Goblin Tinkerer, Goblin Ripper, and Goblin Fireman.
Well, this was the first time Mary heard this name, and she could not help but sigh. These goblins who spent all their time in the smelting workshop and engineering laboratory were not normal at all. It was a daydream to expect these 'crazy' scientists to come up with some elegant names.
Although the names were vulgar, it was quite appropriate for these beginner magic machinery warriors.
Mary naturally brought these elite magic machinery with her as bodyguards, and the rest of the magic machinery became cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at any time.
There were a few paths leading to the dragonoid camp. However, other than the 10-meter-wide mud path in front, the rest were rugged and muddy paths that were not suitable for large creatures like the dragonoid and the magic machinery.
Therefore, the focus of the battle was on the only way in and out.
Seeing that the Drakonids were guarding their camp and would not come out easily, the Mana Legion sealed the perimeter under the command of the gnome technicians, facing off against the Drakonids from afar with a large pool of muddy, filthy water between them. The 12 specially selected Magic Machines were arranged in a basic formation of 4 rows and 3 rows, slowly approaching the other side of the tunnel.
It couldn't be helped. The path was only ten meters long, and the magic machines were all huge. If they squeezed together, they could arrange four Magic Machines side by side, but that wouldn't be able to fight normally. Therefore, they could only form a small attack formation and advance forward with three in a row, a total of four rows.
When they pushed to the center of the mud path, the two rows of loggers placed in front all raised the huge metal shields in their hands to the ground, no longer advancing. The two rows of Magic Machine Shooters at the back stood in a crisscrossed position and extended all the long-range weapons on their bodies.
What were they trying to do?
The Dragonoid Warriors who were holding their giant axes and guarding the end of the mud path looked at each other, unable to understand what the moving metal giants were trying to do. Weren't they here to attack? Why did they stop halfway through?
Just as the Drakonids could not decide whether to charge out and scatter the Magic Machines or stay where they were, the four Magic Machine Shooters that occupied the center of the mud path suddenly exploded.
They were around 70 meters away from the Drakonid Warriors at the end of the path, still within the effective killing range of the Magic Guns. Therefore, when the first wave of metal bullets rained down on the tall and proud Drakonids, the Drakonids were instantly dumbfounded.
As experienced Drakonid Warriors, they had tasted all sorts of physical and magical attacks, but it was the first time they were being 'thrown' so densely.
It … was like a rain of metal bullets!
Amidst the clattering of metal, the pained groans of the Drakonids could be heard.
In no time at all, the Drakonid squad that was guarding the end of the path was scurrying like rats under the barrage of bullets, unable to stand still.
It couldn't be helped. Even though the dense scales and full sets of metal armor covered almost 90% of the Drakonid Warriors' bodies, there was still around 10% of their skin that was not protected. For example, the pupils, the throat, the ear canal, the armpit, the abdomen …
As long as it was covered properly, enemies would have a hard time hitting those parts, which was why the Drakonids did not meticulously design special equipment to protect them.
And yet, at this very moment, the four Magic Machine Shooters were firing wildly, and the metal bullets that were flying everywhere were causing considerable splash damage to the Drakonids. They were either blinded in the eyes, had bullets shot into the ear canal, or had their scales pierced …
Since the Drakonids were standing too closely together, most of the direct bullets were deflected by the armor or scales and did not cause much damage. Instead, the bullets that bounced off the Drakonid companions beside them were more likely to cause splash damage.
In almost an instant, the Drakonid squads that were guarding the frontlines suffered many casualties.
The tiny metal bullets were not even a toothpick compared to the Drakonids' massive bodies, and were at most no different from a mosquito bite. However, with hundreds of densely packed mosquitoes stinging his body, all he could hear were strange crackling sounds. Anyone who encountered this for the first time would be at a loss of what to do and would be at a loss of what to do.
The experienced Drakonid Warriors all raised their scaly arms to cover their faces, while using their huge battle axes to block the weak points of their scales. But how were they supposed to fight that way?
The leading Drakonid Captain stood up furiously, the axe in his hand instantly igniting into raging flames. With a soul-stirring war roar, he brandished his fiery axe and charged at the Magic Machines in the mud with earth-shattering steps.
It only took 6 seconds for the Drakonid Captain to charge across the distance of 70 meters with the power of Rage. Its raised fiery axe slashed solidly onto the metal shields held up by the first row of magical machinery.
With a violent bang, the giant metal shield instantly shattered into pieces, and the arms of the lumberjack who was holding the giant shield also exploded into flying debris and countless metal parts on the spot.
Unable to withstand the tremendous force and stumbled back, the lumberjack immediately crashed into the second row of metal shields.
Behind it was the steel walls that it could not retreat to, and in front of it was the Drakonid's violent strength. Caught between the two, the unlucky lumberjack burst like a watermelon in an instant.
The Drakonid Captain was indeed a powerful tier-1 Elite warrior. With a single Berserk Blow and its own flame ability, it instantly killed the strengthened Lumberjack Magic Machine.
The metal shell of the Drakonid Captain's body was covered in cracks and holes, while sparks burst out from within. The Lumberjack, which had nearly one-third of its torso blown away, staggered two steps and plunged headfirst into the smelly puddle.
The Drakonid Captain's morale soared instantly after its one-hit victory. It stood up again, intending to push the remaining metal lumberjacks into the quagmire.
But it did not know that its sudden charge had also exposed itself to the attack range of the archer phalanx behind it.
With a flick of its fingers, the concentrated sounds of gunfire never stopped.
The dense barrage of bullets fired from a 140-degree fan in front of it all struck its towering body.
The metal armor might have outstanding defensive capabilities, and the Drakonid scale armor might have outstanding resistance, but they all had their own defensive limits. Once the dense barrage of attacks exceeded this defensive limit, the damage it would bring would be unimaginable.
The Drakonid warriors hiding at the back were still cheering and roaring at the Drakonid Captain's powerful burst of power a moment ago, but in the next moment, they saw dense lines of blood erupt all over its body as its entire body was instantly riddled with holes by the terrifying barrage of bullets.
And at that moment, the Drakonid Captain's raised front hoof finally landed heavily.
Due to excessive force, the Drakonid Captain's body sprayed hundreds of crimson fountains of blood, dyeing the ground within five to six meters completely red.
Swaying for a moment, the bloodied Drakonid Captain finally could not squeeze a word out of its dry throat. Three of its four amber-like eyes, two large and two small, were blinded, while the light of life in the remaining eye was rapidly fading away.
With a dull thud, the Drakonid Captain's body fell to the ground, and like the magical machine, it silently slid into the smelly pool. Only a series of bubbles and red lines of blood were left on the surface of the pool …
The Drakonids who were still cheering a moment ago immediately fell silent!
A powerful Drakonid Captain was directly blown up by the enemy … Such a thing had never happened in the long history of war among the Drakonids.
In the Lance Plane, apart from the lofty Wyrm Overlords, the Drakonids were the most powerful warriors on this plane. They were loyal, they were valiant, they could fight a hundred alone, they were invincible …
But at this moment, this golden signboard that had been erected through countless bloody battles was smashed into pieces by a group of cold and ruthless iron lumps.
The Drakonids' invincible image was now in jeopardy.
This was a huge shock to the Dragonmen, as well as a huge humiliation!
The eyes of all the Drakonids in the entire Drakonid camp turned blood-red as they roared and brandished their battle axes and charged into the mud path.
Fight … Fight … Fight …
Using the enemy's blood to wash the Drakonids' bodies, using the enemy's flesh and blood to pay tribute to the dead.
All the Drakonids went berserk!
But at this moment, Mary, who was hiding among the magical machines, calmly issued a number of orders.
"Endor, immediately trigger the poisonous plague you set up …"
"Hummingbird 1, immediately throw the Destroyer …"
"All archer magical machines, immediately give me full firepower …"
