Chapter 183: Metal Puppet Legion! Short-Range Combat!

This war victory greatly affects the survival of the Goblin race; they cannot abandon the strategy of using artillery bombardment for the sake of a few thousand Goblins, especially Goblins who have surrendered and been captured.

What's more, the strength of the Undead army is not weak; if they don't go all out and fire with full force, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Undead army.

And the Undead, from the beginning, never thought about rescuing the Goblins in the mine. After all, the difficulty is really too great, and under many restrictions, many means or weapons have no room to play.

After discussions between Maikai and the Goblin army, the rescue plan was abandoned.

After all, since the mine was occupied, the source of news was completely cut off, and they didn't know if there were still living Goblins in the mine, or if the Goblins had been transformed by the Undead.

So, they simply assumed that the Goblins in the mine had all been killed by the Undead, or even transformed into Undead.

In this way, the combat plan became much simpler!

The Goblin army wanted to take advantage of the Undead not discovering them, and use artillery fire to blow down all the passages of the mine, preventing the Undead from rushing out of the mine.

Afterward, they would increase the number of cannonballs, blow down the entire mine, bury the Undead in the mine alive, and make the Thirteenth Mine the tomb of tens of thousands of Undead armies.

But their tracks were still discovered in advance, and in a hurry, they could only attack one side of the mountain, while the other three sides of the mine were temporarily safe. A large number of Undead followed the safe passages and left the mine, starting to surround the Goblin army from the left and right sides.

Roar, roar, roar!

The roar came from the sky again. Several Undead Bone Dragons returned, releasing powerful magic energy in the high sky, constantly attacking the Goblin army, limiting the Goblin army's actions to a certain extent, and also causing not small casualties to the Goblins.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Goblin's artillery fire continued, even fiercer than just now, constantly bombarding the attacking Undead.

Although this batch of artillery fire was fiercer than before, causing some casualties to the Undead, it couldn't withstand the Undead's sheer numbers.

Countless Undead poured out from the mine, approaching the Goblin army's position from all directions, even if they were under the attack of artillery fire, their speed did not slow down at all.

Especially those Undead who had been blown up once, they were even more fearless of death, charging crazily.

Soon, the distance between the two armies was less than 300 meters.

"General, these Undead are strange!"

"They clearly look very weak, but after suffering the attack of the Magic Energy Giant Cannon, the casualties are so small!"

A Goblin who had been paying attention to the changes on the battlefield changed his face greatly.

You must know that the few rounds of artillery fire from the Goblin army just now invested at least a thousand cannonballs of various types. The power of each cannonball was enough to kill Black Iron-tier creatures, and Ordinary-tier creatures had no way to survive at all under the artillery bombardment.

Such dense artillery bombardment was enough to cause tens of thousands of casualties and collapse an army of 100,000.

This is also the reason why the Goblins were confident they could defeat the enemy, so they chose to attack the mine from the front instead of attacking from the underground passage.

But the Undead on the mine, although they also suffered many casualties, the number of deaths was only two or three thousand.

On average, one cannonball only killed two or three Undead Skeleton Spear Soldiers.

How is this possible?

What's more, those Undead who were clearly blown to pieces and had no corpses left, stood up safe and sound after a while, continued to charge at the Goblin army, and even took the initiative to rush to the front, blocking the artillery fire of the Iron Legion.

This scene really caught the Goblin army off guard and was unexpected.

Due to the miscalculation of the strength of the Undead army, the distance between the Undead and the Goblins was less than 300 meters shortly after the battle began.

At such a close distance, a few charges would appear before their eyes.

Melee combat is not the combat style the Goblins are best at, even if they are wearing sophisticated armor.

Moreover, once melee combat occurs, the Goblins lose their greatest advantage, which is being able to strike the enemy with a large amount of artillery fire, while the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties.

"Puppet Army, all out, stop the Undead from approaching!"

General Maikai immediately ordered.

Suddenly, thousands of tall metal puppets crossed the front line and came to the front of the Goblin army, one hand holding a heavy shield high, and the other hand holding a long sharp sword, in the attire of a shield-swordsman.

The colors of these metal puppets were different from those of the Iron-Armored Warriors; some had a bronze luster, and some were silver-like in color.

But whether it was body size, defensive power, or strength, they far exceeded the Iron-Armored Warriors.

The only thing the same was that some runes were carved on the bodies of each metal puppet.

In the Goblin race, they have unique names: Iron-Armored Warriors, Bronze-Armored Warriors, and Silver-Armored Warriors.

Iron-Armored Warriors are just the lowest-level puppets, generally doing some simple work, such as mining, carrying, etc.

As for Bronze-Armored Warriors and Silver-Armored Warriors, they are equipped with powerful equipment, and the sophistication of the equipment is no less than that of Goblin soldiers.

And the strength of these Bronze-Armored Warriors and Silver-Armored Warriors is also much stronger than that of the Goblins.

Each Bronze-Armored Warrior puppet has a realm equivalent to Ordinary Three-Star, plus its metal-defensive body and the equipment forged by the Goblins, even if facing Black Iron-tier creatures, it has the strength to fight. The number reached 2,000, which is an elite army.

As for Silver-Armored Warrior puppets, they are all at the Black Iron Two-Star realm, and if they go all out, their combat power is even comparable to Black Iron Three-Star.

But the number of Silver-Armored Warriors is a bit smaller, only 200.

Boom, boom!

The Puppet Legion blocked the front, holding giant shields, forming a solid copper wall and iron wall with their metal bodies.

Bang, bang, bang!

Many Undead Skeleton Spear Soldiers rushed over, but were blocked by the shield wall formed by the Puppet Legion, and also suffered the sharp sword attacks of the Puppet Legion, as well as the shooting of the Goblin army's Magic Energy Guns.

Clang, clang, clang!

The bodies of the Undead were pierced by the Magic Energy Guns, and bones fell to the ground, but the Undead's offensive did not diminish at all, and even like the Goblin's artillery fire, it became more and more fierce!

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 184 =====

The Puppet Legion stood at the very front, holding giant shields, forming a sturdy wall of bronze and iron with their metallic bodies.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Many Undead Skeleton Soldier spearmen charged over, only to be blocked by the shield wall formed by the Puppet Legion, and they were further subjected to attacks from the Puppet Legion's sharp swords, as well as gunfire from the Goblin Army's magic energy guns.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

One by one, the bodies of the Undead were pierced through by the magic energy guns, their bones shattering and falling to the ground, yet the Undead's offensive did not diminish in the slightest; it even became increasingly fierce, just like the Goblin artillery fire!
