Release that Witch Chapter 1273: Devil plan
Ten hours ago, it received reports that abnormal noises and huge fireballs appeared in the direction of Wolf Heart, and a supply unit was severely damaged. At the time, it was still accepting human feudal lord loyalty in a city west of Eternal Winter.
Honestly, Hykezord doesn't want to bother with such sesame-size things. If it weren't for the reporter's repeated mention of the exploding stilts and unusual destructive power, it would not have planned to come in person.
Dealing with humans is enough to annoy it, but it can only be done in the entire Western Front. Not everyone is as clever as Ersluk. They always learn something useful and useless. Most Ascendants treat humans as bugs, let alone learn their language.
Its generals are no exception. All of them are loyal and have unquestionable abilities, but they are only limited to fighting. Let these guys talk to human beings. Otherwise, they will tear each other into pieces violently.
However, human beings are extremely easy to be tamed. Although this ethnic group is weak, their brains are very good. In the early days of development, they could replace many inferior rank body's work. It would not be in the interest of the ethnic group to eliminate them all.
After all, it's all Vakiris's fault.
It was originally the Monarch that is best at this, but it is still soaking in the Mayfly pool. Hykezord always feels that his patience is close to the bottom line.
But when it flew over Fang City, it immediately realized that something was wrong.
The plankton in the city seems very thin, it seems to have been cleaned up. The city was a mess, with destroyed houses and charred wooden frames everywhere.
After the team descended, Hykezord noticed that the ground was exuding warmth, and the pungent odor was coming towards the face.
It quickly found the source of the taste.
A group of weird-looking inferior rank bodys curled up and stiffened on the street. Their skin has turned black and peeled off, apparently burned to death by the fire. But it is strange that there are no obvious ignitions around inferior rank body. Except for masonry, which is dirt, it is difficult to imagine how the flames burned to them.
And there's more than that.
"Totolock, you and your men will take ten people each to search for the movement of the human army. If you find something, report it to me immediately."
"As you bid master."
"Ciyasith, investigate what is going on, and find out if there is anyone alive."
"Yes, sir."
Ascendant quickly led away, Hykezord walked along the long street and slowly walked towards the northern district where the city was most damaged.
According to the report, it was a inferior rank body supply team that was attacked. These poor worms that could never be promoted are at the bottom of the group, equivalent to labor or slaves among humans. They were responsible for transporting a batch of obsidian and secondary Mayfly pools into Fang City, so as to build an camp where first promotion body or Ascendant can rest.
This can also be seen from the wreckage on the site. Obsidian cut and impregnated are scattered everywhere, and some of inferior rank body still maintains the appearance during transportation. No sign of killing meant that humans did not come into direct contact with the supply team, and the fighting broke out very suddenly and ended abnormally quickly.
Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that the other party set a trap here instead of a large army assembled under the eyelids of the Bogle wing beast. The Totolock search is likely to find nothing.
But the more so, the more shocking Vault of Heaven Lord is. It would rather swarm the enemy in groups, at least it would be easier to find. Hykezord does not care about the death or death of inferior rank body, but the Western Front campaign cannot be lost. If a trap like this is hit by the main force, the consequences are simply unthinkable.
Undoubtedly, the enemy used "fire" as a means of attack. Hykezord is no stranger to fire. In the past War of Divine Will, they also used fire to capture human cities. It's just that life Mayfly doesn't like the high temperature, so that it is rarely seen in the ethnic group.
It may burn the flame of inferior rank body in the air, it is the first time it has been seen.
Unless the entire city is turned into a huge stove.
How is this possible?
If human beings have such a means, they must let the king know that the Western Front is in danger.
Wait ... flame?
Hykezord suddenly flashed a picture in my mind. It was the scene I saw when Consciousness World searched Kabladabi memory. A group of bright fireballs burst out suddenly, like the rising sun.
Is it ... what Kabladabi saw at the time was exactly this kind of flame weapon?
It couldn't help feeling a chill.
Just as the Vault of Heaven Lord was in doubt, the voice of Ciyasith suddenly interrupted its thoughts, "Master, the basic situation has been found out, this supply team has a total of 350 inferior rank body, and there are also a dozen names original body is guarding it. No survivors have been found, but I think I have figured out the means of those bugs.
"Oh? speak to hear."
"Please follow me."
Hykezord followed the Ciyasith and flew to the northern wall nearby. Some original bodys were digging for something. Around them, there were a pile of dark metal fragments. Farther afield, several siege vehicles were turned side by side on the road. Since the more powerful and flexible Symbiote Body was successfully cultivated, these old-fashioned war instruments have become specialized handling tools.
"Look," Ciyasith stretched out tentacles, grabbed a piece of debris on the ground, and there were obvious traces of melting at the fracture. "If you put them together, it should be a container. Such things line up along the edge of the city There are almost hundreds of them. I think the bugs are probably stuffed with snow powder and combustibles, and they intend to cut off the supply team's back road, and then launch an attack while in chaos.
To date, weapon they are using is no longer unfamiliar to them. In the process of hunting each other, Hykezord has also captured a lot. Regardless of whether it is "fire branch" or "fire crossbow", it uses snow powder as a primer, which is obviously more complicated than weapon driven by magic power. Because of this, most of those weapon structures are very delicate, which is also a skill not seen 400 years ago.
"If it's just ordinary flames, how could it cause such great damage?"
"Sir, I am afraid this flame is not ordinary, at least the temperature is much higher than ordinary fire, but even so, you can't kill all inferior rank body in isolation. I think the key point may be on those siege vehicle."
"What does it mean?" Hykezord asked. Ciyasith is a Psionic. Most of the Ascendant evolved from this branch have keen observation, which is why Vault of Heaven Lord sent it to investigate the battlefield.
"When these snow powder were detonated, it probably spread to siege vehicle, which was passing city gate. The latter was generally used to transport heavy objects, either Mayfly pools or storage tanks. High temperatures caused them to deflagrate and further exacerbated life here. The disintegration of Mayfly. "The other person's rapid swinging tentacles hissed continuously," You know, when the temperature reaches a certain level, anything can be ignited, including us. "
Ciyasith's explanation made Hykezord slightly relieved. Regardless of whether the big bang had a coincidental component, at least the large iron bucket fragments gave it a lot of peace of mind. The need to bury a large amount in advance and be able to project at any time are completely two concepts. As long as strict precautions are taken later, this trap will hardly pose a threat to large forces in the wild.
Of course, it is also clear that it is not easy to quickly inspect a human city. Forbidding the Mayfly pool and storage tanks from being tightly packed or stacked cannot completely eliminate this threat. It does not think that the simple-minded original body and inferior rank body can do it.
The most effective way is to use human beings.
"Sir, what shall we do next?"
"Slow down the speed of entering the city and let humans check for us," Hykezord quickly made a decision. "Other places are temporarily unable to draw more inferior rank body, this time the loss will be supplemented by Brightsnow Castle. I I think Marvin Earl will be happy to work for me. "
"In addition, haven't we captured some enemy weapons?" Vault of Heaven Lord paused, "A lot of noble seem to hate Greycastle people, let them try it."
