Chapter 691: 690 Otherworldly Tigers! Forward Assault!
Chapter 691 690.Otherworldly Tiger! Forward Assault!
The chain saw sword that had been modified by the old flywheel and enchanted by Tris was very smooth to use, and the weapon with a name seemed to be quite subtle to use.
Especially after Murphy had parachuted into position seven with his own vampires with it in hand, and had mangled his way forward through the armed dog-heads’ positions, the buzzing contraption hadn’t once jammed or impacted.
It was heavy, noisy, and difficult to control with precision, and indeed, using the thing would have been torture for anyone who wasn’t skilled in martial arts, but after the frantic spinning of the chain saw tore every enemy in its path in half, and at the sight of the horrific splattering of blood and plasma, any and all complaints evaporated along with the atrocious destructive power of the thing.
Murphy’s last complaint at this time is also limited to this two-handed sword style chain saw sword why can’t it be operated with one hand?
That way, he himself could hold two of these cool contraptions and drive peerless on the battlefield.
Old Flywheel promised that he would help Murphy design a one-handed sword style chain saw sword when he was free.
But he was pessimistic about it, after all, this thing was a mechanical creation, just a miniature steam furnace would have to take up part of the design area, and if it really had to be changed into a thinner and lighter one-handed chain saw, the destructive power would definitely be severely reduced.
Murphy expressed great regret at this.
As he expressed regret at this time for the fighting strength of these dog-heads, all the way to kill over are hand up and down, no which armed dog-heads can stop him, this kind of uninteresting battle is like chopping down a tree with an axe, really meaningless.
This is certainly a kind of Versailles.
However, there are such a brave raider is enough to make the players and NPCs following Murphy feel excited, especially those who follow the back of the walking machine to advance, especially those who are maneuvering the walking machine to slaughter the dog head “ace caravan”.
“Yes! It’s so cool!”
The Hell Tiger maneuvered the six legs of the walker and stomped wildly in place, and the heaviness of the steam walker itself was enough to make any collision with this thing deadly.
This thing was really big!
When it burst forward in its spider form, even the taller jackals could only tilt their heads up to see the spike-strewn undercarriage, not to mention the dog-heads.
Beside the yelling Hell Tiger, the “Big Fat Rat”, who was in charge of operating the twin-mounted hunting crossbow, was also yelling.
He grasped the heavy handle and shook the muzzles of the two connected crossbows around the battlefield, and wherever there was a difficulty in advancing, he would pull the trigger and fire a shot at that place.
Although the shot of the crossbow lacked the thrill and sense of power of a heavy bullet bursting through flesh and blood, the spectacle of watching those dog-heads being taken out under the flying crossbow arrows still made one’s blood run cold.
“Forward! Keep moving forward!”
The last person in the three-man caravan, “Steel Panther”, was calm.
His position in the trio was that of a spotter, and he also had to maneuver the only halfling rapid-fire cannon currently in the player’s hands.
This thing is very complicated to maneuver, especially when it has two internal arithmetic pearls to assist in aiming and firing, making Steel Panther not only have to get used to the strange feel of this otherworldly weapon, but also have to learn to manipulate the functions of the special arithmetic pearls to give various commands to the mechanics of the rapid-fire cannon.
The cannon’s had three magazines, a total of 120 rounds of gold-fueled small shells, which would be gone after the shot, so it was important to use them sparingly.
“Don’t slaughter the dog-heads here, it’s pointless! Follow Lord Murphy and charge forward, open up the line for the brothers in the rear, and by the way, leave a retreat route for the NPCs in front.”
Steel Panther Panther reached out and knocked on the plate armor head of Hell Tiger, who was already on top of his head, which made Hell Tiger, who was addicted to “gopher”, come to his senses.
He immediately pulled the lever in his hand to increase the power of the steam furnace, and after the thicker black smoke came out from the smoke vents at the back of the walker, the speed of this thing immediately increased, and its six mechanical legs clattered like a pouncing spider as it rushed forward.
“Fatty! Turn on the flamethrower!”
The vehicle captain, Hell Tiger, shouted as he charged:
“Burn all the dog-heads in front of you, and by the way, help Brother Loyalty test the destructive power of this thing.”
“O up.”
The fireman ratty big fat man instantly broke the lever on his own hand, letting two vents pop out from underneath the front armor of the advancing walker, followed by nearly seven meters of flames spewing out from it, the oil used in this thing was exactly the kind used in incendiary aerial bombs, so the flames didn’t just burn for a bit as they were spewed out.
It would attach itself to the body of any living thing that was ignited and burn until the latter became a dead bone.
It was also the fact that a lot of weapons had been removed from the interior of the walker, giving it enough room for remodeling, otherwise the storage of the oil alone would be a big problem.
The front flamethrower only burned for five seconds, clearing a large area in front of them. When facing the clacking walking machine like a mechanical giant, the foolish armed dog-heads were already afraid, and after seeing that this monster could also spit fire, the last bit of pathetic morale collapsed with it.
My jackal masters are here!
This thing moved on its own, could easily stomp the pathetic dog-headed men, could fire dangerous arrows, and if the above wasn’t enough, then it could also breathe fire!
Faced with the continued approach of this never-before-seen thing, the dog-heads dispersed in a flurry.
They were rather peculiar group creatures with a very serious tendency to follow blindly, and as this side’s morale began to crumble and retreat after being crushed by the Walking Machine, this defeatist sentiment then quickly spread to the other dog-headed warriors.
The dog-heads that were not attacked by the walking machines also began to retreat, and this quickly turned into a great rout.
Its poor performance made Grand Inspector Xu Gesen, who had been observing the battlefield, couldn’t help but pull his mouth, the dog-heads couldn’t fight a hard battle even if they were outnumbered, this was indeed one of the savage truths of the Dark Mountain Range.
“Ha, Handsome Murphy! I thought you wouldn’t dare to come.”
As Murphy killed his way into the battlefield of position six, Lord Heather, who had been bombarded with all sorts of bad news all day today, finally revealed a laugh for the first time.
She was holding her double shields and killing enemies like a crazy short berserker, the jackals that died in her hands had already piled up into a mountain, and she shouted from that “mountainside”:
“I thought you blood vulture vampires were scared, I was ready to laugh at you.”
“Then put your mockery back in your stomach, you won’t be needing it today at least.”
Murphy swung his left hand on his chain saw sword, the blood around him was mobilized by the scarlet secret energy to form a cool “river of blood” around him, blocking the arrows and psychic energy that were coming towards him, and in the next instant, it was transformed into a scarlet storm of bloody blades that spun at high speed.
As Murphy advanced, any dog-heads and jackals that dared to approach would be mercilessly pierced, and even if they managed to escape, they would be accurately killed by the Necessary Evil that cruised around them.
His advancing steps were surrounded by fallen corpses, and it looked as if he had stepped out on a path of death.
“Position seven has been withdrawn, take your people and fall back!”
Murphy shouted to Lord Heather:
“Position eight is all about to be smashed by the meteorites, you must retreat to the back, my General Maxim has already reestablished the defense line at position nine, we will make a final block there.”
“Not at position nine! There’s something down there.”
With a start, Heather instantly leapt out of the fray with a long leap and tumbled down beside Murphy, a taller and shorter vampire in heavy armor fighting back to back against the influx of jackals, the second lord warned:
“Lord Oafg is there to suppress the breakthrough of the underground undead, and those bastards have unleashed a vicious spell, look at the disgruntled spirits around the battlefield! Murphy! Those things simply can’t be killed! Once Lord Oufg can no longer continue to suppress it, position nine will be overrun by the undead at a rapid pace.”
“I knew what was there, I just didn’t realize they were playing so big.”
Murphy whispered:
“I didn’t expect to save the entire front either! My warriors have broken out and are retreating to Fort Courage, I’ve noticed that they’re preparing to execute a superbly bombastic counterattack tactic, all we have to do is match them!
Trust me!
Fall back and let the Jackals get into position.
Lure them and their vicious minions in, the more the merrier!
Heather, I know it’s hard for you to accept, but your position is untenable, you can use it as a last ditch effort, and I promise you, the Splintered Claw Jackals won’t be able to get a victory. All they can get is a defeat that hurts to the bone!”
“I.” Lord Heather obviously couldn’t make up her mind.
But in the next instant, loud and clear war drums and horns suddenly sounded over at the Jackalmen’s main formation, and the battle flag of that Hügensen Supervisor began to move forward.
The Jackals sensed that the Blood Alliance Knights in position six were about to retreat, and they wanted to trap these difficult vampires.
Grand Inspector Hüggesen had also mounted his armed seated wolf and charged towards Murphy and Heather with his elite inspector guard, and it was just like he wanted to use these two vampire leaders as his most prized trophies in this battle.
But alas, it was not to get anything!
Because high above the sky, Phineas himself led fifty of the most skillful flying vampires downward in a rapid fall, just like the bombing tactics before the attack on the Wolf Castle, everyone of these elite blood vultures carried a heavy aerial bomb on their backs.
Femis’ bombing tactics were quite subtle, as she dropped the aerial bombs at kilometers, and added vicious whistles to the ones painted with blood-colored skulls, causing those things to fall down at high speeds with hellish whistles, causing the Jackals, who were moving to try and get into the Sixth position, to look up in dismay.
Murphy and Heather looked up as well, and Huegson sensed the danger as he immediately maneuvered the Seatwolf backward at a rapid pace, barely making it out of the blast zone before the aerial bombs hit the ground.
“Boom boom boom.”
One by one, the bombs crashed and exploded along the precisely calculated landing points, and the addition of gold as an accelerant increased the explosion and combustion effects of these bombs exponentially.
Of course, it was impossible for the fifty or so aerial bombs to ignite the entire position, but witnessing the destructive “line of fire” explode in front of their eyes, instantly engulfing the Jackal vanguard that had already rushed into position six, still made Lord Heather and the Blood Alliance Knights under her command let out a battle cry of joy.
“Retreat! Don’t look!”
Murphy would have already turned back, not looking at the flames rising behind him like a qualified and rakishly handsome man, letting the searing wind blow his red cloak, and the players quickly retreated along with the mainline NPCs.
Lord Heather pushed her battle helmet and flew up with her short legs.
She pulled the battle skirt of Murphy’s scarlet king’s battle armor and whispered:
“This kind of powerful weapon, is there any more?”
“I would love to tell you that we have plenty of shells and give you and your subordinates a little courage back, but the truth is, no more.”
Murphy sighed:
“Transylvania is short of everything, my engineering technicians can’t get any more raw materials to make these shells, and this is the last of the stock they sent to the Valley of the Shadow before.”
“We have!”
Lord Heather replied immediately:
“I can give you all the materials salvaged from the Black Flame Pass! I can have the Shield Dwarves send the supplies over, I only have one request, manufacture the thing! The more the better! I want to use this heavenly fire to burn all the Split Claw Jackals to death!
Fuck this shit!”
“That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear.”
Murphy grinned.
He turned back to look at Position Six, which was giving off the stench of malodorous barbecue, and he saw that the Sovereigns were dispersing the thoroughly routed dog-headed servants, but the ratmen who had single-handedly directed the fall of the Black Flame Pass were nowhere to be seen.
Those guys didn’t seem to be willing to go deeper into the position, perhaps their evil masters had given some orders?
Murphy shook his head, no longer thinking about this, but opened his wings and hurried towards the rear where Maxim was.
There.
There would be the final battle of the Black Flame Pass.
—
“Grand Governor! The Sovereign Mother commands you to return to the base camp with the Clan’s elite at once.”
Hügesen, who had just escaped from the aerial bombardment, was organizing a new offensive, but a jackal messenger coming on a bipedal flying dragon prevented it from continuing its breakthrough and brought an order for it to retreat.
“Huh?”
Xu Gerson frowned and stared at the messenger in front of him.
Even though it wore the Clan War Helmet, making it difficult for the messenger to see the eyes of this Grand Inspector, it still felt a fear from the bottom of its heart and hurriedly explained:
“The Lord Mother’s intention is to retain the power of our Split Claw Clan, right now the situation at Black Flame Mountain Pass is rotten to the core, it’s only a matter of time before we take this place, and those clans that are dependent on us are eager to get a share of the credit.
They’re asking for war from the Lord Mother, and we can’t just swallow all the prey alone.
You should go back and prepare for the next hard battle, just leave the rest to the smaller clans, and we have found a lot of supplies in the position that need to be transported back to the home front as well.
As you know, we have been suffering from a lack of food and supplies.”
“Hmph.”
Huegson seemed convinced by this reasoning.
But it wasn’t a stupid one.
He rode on the back of his wolf with burnt fur and looked towards the distant position, and he was sure that his evil “foster mother” had definitely left her means behind the position.
She didn’t want Split Claw’s elite to be harmed by those dangerous things, and by the way, she utilized this situation to weaken a wave of subordinate clans, so that they would be even more loyal to Split Claw Clan.
Hogson understood the reasoning, but .
Alas, how could one still be so shy about doing such a great thing right now?
The Grand Governor shook his head, no longer thinking about it.
It was an orphan picked up by Potana from the land of the dead, without a foster mother, it would have died as a pup, and although Potana had continuously voodoo-enhanced it over the years, the Splintered Claw Master Mother had indeed raised herself as a son.
She had said countless times that she would take the Splintered Claw Clan into her own hands.
Most importantly Huegson knew that Portana wasn’t fooling it, she truly intended to do so!
Underneath the cold exterior she was such a brainless and fanatical admirer of the King of Biting Bones that she planned to raise a second King of Biting Bones herself.
Although the jackals were emotionally indifferent, they were not cold-blooded creatures after all.
Xu Gesen didn’t stubbornly disobey the order, and quickly withdrew from the already taken position six with the elites under his command, leaving the subsequent offense to those Jackals who had come up as replacements.
These guys really felt that the defenders of the Black Flame Pass had been defeated.
So they organized a big wave of attack as soon as they came up and smoothly took the already abandoned position seven, and they found many supplies and weapons in it that they couldn’t take away in time, which made the Jackal Dude even more excited.
They didn’t stop at all and continued to charge forward.
Then, they crashed headlong into position eight which had already been rearmed, Major Ron would have already reorganized the artillery positions by now, and with the players frantically striking under the battle line formed by the walking machines, the Jackalmen who had first been bombarded by a round of heavy artillery hadn’t yet regained their senses, when they were met by blazing fire, and those Transylvanians mounted on mechanical monsters frantically opened fire.
It was almost like killing them like pigs.
Small clans are small clans, no matter in the quality of soldiers or the degree of organization can’t be compared to Splintered Claw’s army, the first wave of attack was quickly killed back by the army formation formed by the players and the squire army, but everyone knew that this long day was not yet over.
The disaster of the Black Flame Pass was already coming to an end, and it would definitely end with a bang.
