Chapter 499 Robot War
The news that the Empire's giant robots had descended from the sky to support the battlefield naturally spread to the Papal States.
This small-scale but extremely important battle was commanded by Feng Yinlian and Mo Zhai personally.
Of course, the chief priest Mo Zhai was only responsible for transmitting the message through the microphone, and the real commander was Feng Inrian.
Feng Yinrian is the deputy chief of staff of the Xiusu Empire and the boss of the Northern Alliance. He has fought against the empire many times. Fu Wenyu's expeditionary force was completely wiped out by his coalition forces.
Therefore, when Mo Zhai learned that the zombie troops that had invaded Fort Omon were completely wiped out by this suddenly appearing giant robot, the first person he asked was him.
His tone was anxious and angry. "Chief of Staff Feng Yin, what is going on? Didn't you say that there would be no more aid from the Empire?"
Feng Inrian remained silent. He was studying the video footage sent back from the front of the battlefield with military experts from all over the world.
In the picture, the light is dim and one can only vaguely see a big guy rushing around in the castle.
Fort Omon is a typical military fortress. The buildings inside the fortress are all low-lying houses. When the robot runs in the city, no building can exceed the height of its legs.
"Chief of Staff Feng Yin."
A guy with green hair and yellow eyes rushed in and shouted.
"The basic data is out. This robot is 9.9 meters tall, with legs 4.2 meters long and arms 3.3 meters long. The average thickness is 6 meters. Based on its shape, we can infer that its armor is extremely thick, possibly reaching a staggering 50 centimeters."
Another expert, wearing thick glasses the size of beer bottles, said, "Its shape is completely inconsistent with modern engineering and structural design. It must be the product of the Empire's latest research."
"It seems the Empire has gotten ahead of us again."
"The depth of the empire is truly unfathomable."
"We won't lag behind the Empire forever. I've already transmitted its data and form back to Evergreen University. They will use this data to deduce new engineering and structural principles."
"Well done! Count me in!"
"Count me in too! We'll all share the expenses!"
"alright!"
Von Inrian knocked on the table. "Now I need to know how to deal with it."
The green-haired man said, "This is obviously a special forces unit. We have already studied robots. They are not suitable for large-scale frontal battlefields. The cost is too high and the effectiveness is far inferior to the King of Land tanks."
"Therefore, I estimate that the Empire may only have a few weapons like this, and this may be the only one sent to support it."
Beer Bottle said: "Special forces are the branch of the military that completes special combat missions. They can perform many tasks that cannot be completed under normal circumstances, but they are not the main force in war."
"Therefore, it will never leave the protection of the high walls of Ormonburg and expose itself to the firepower of the front battlefield. In summary, I think..."
"Urgent!" a communicator shouted, "An unidentified robot has jumped out of Fort Omon and is approaching the outer battlefield!"
Beer Bottle pushed up his beer-bottomed glasses and said, "Don't panic, everyone. He's just out for some reconnaissance and will be back soon. He definitely won't rashly join the battle."
"Urgent!" another operator shouted, "The 17th Armored Division has been attacked by unidentified robots! They're calling for help!"
Beer Bottle said calmly, "He's only attacking isolated teams and will definitely not come to the front line. Therefore, we only need to..."
"Urgent!" the third communicator shouted, "The 17th Armored Division has been completely destroyed. Robots have rushed onto the battlefield and are attacking us alongside the Imperial Armored Division!"
The beer bottle wanted to say something, but Mo Zhai, who could no longer bear it, kicked it away.
"Get lost, where did this parallel import come from?"
In the entire command room, the most anxious people were Mo Zhai and the senior generals of the Papal States.
The military experts and military advisers from various countries are just doing their duties. Although their countries have provided a lot of aid, it is not them who have provided a lot of aid.
So they were more concerned about how to draw experience from this war and understand the empire's financial situation.
Only von Inrion seemed more sincere, because this was a very important part of his war resume.
Mo Zhai directly asked Feng Yinlian, "Chief of Staff Feng Yin, what should we do?"
Feng Inrian was silent for a moment. The Battle of Stan River was not as big as the previous battles, but it was extremely important and special.
The most important point is that it is time-limited.
Beyond a certain point, the war becomes meaningless or even harmful.
So although a single robot may seem insignificant, its impact on the entire battle situation cannot be ignored.
Feng Yinlian quickly calculated the troops that could be mobilized on the battlefield and said, "Your Excellency the Chief Priest, mobilize three armored divisions and twenty giant battalions to encircle and suppress the Imperial robots. Make sure they are destroyed."
A commander exclaimed, "Chief of Staff, isn't this a bit of an overreaction? Mobilizing so many troops by one person will delay our advance!"
There were many people at the scene who held this view.
Although the robot is very powerful, it has only demonstrated a record of killing zombies, and its only way of attacking is to trample them.
So deep down they actually don't think it can play any big role on the front battlefield.
Feng Yinlian insisted on his opinion: "We must eliminate the unstable factors as soon as possible to avoid any setbacks in the battle. Even if there are some losses, it doesn't matter."
Based on his trust in his past glorious achievements, Mo Zhai agreed with his opinion and issued the order.
Fort Ormon.
General Chengli had been jumping up and down and cursing for a long time.
In his opinion, as long as this big guy stayed in the castle, Ormon Castle would never be occupied, and no matter how many zombies came, they would die.
Even if the enemy occupied the outer positions, Fort Omon would always be like a bone thorn stuck in their throats.
But it actually ran to the front battlefield.
You know, that's where tanks are bombarding each other and artillery is bombarding each other.
What if the robot is destroyed, then this hard-earned turning point will be gone?
"This idiot! I'll kill him when I get back! Let me drive this big guy!"
Cheng Li was extremely angry, but he couldn't contact the driver, so he had to order the tank troops outside to provide more cover for the robots, and tried to use a loudspeaker to convey orders and persuade the robots to come back.
Everyone was very worried that the pilot was a young and hot-headed boy, just like in the previous movies, with a sad love history and a girlfriend who was taken away by a yellow-haired man. In order to prove himself, he became the pilot of the Imperial experimental machine, and then came to the battlefield, killing everyone regardless of everything.
This kind of plot has long been deeply rooted in people's minds. The difference is that they are all real soldiers who know that if robots do not have superpowers, they will also be destroyed.
On a real battlefield, there is no such thing as explosive growth, only cold iron and blood.
but.
Things are different from what everyone imagined.
Lin Wen's robot does not have that many complicated components, nor does it have any high technology. It is just a big iron mass supported by several machine parts, and exists to make up for Lin Wen's lack of defensive capabilities.
The reason why it is so wide is because its armor thickness is 2-3 meters, not because of how complicated its internal structure is.
When Lin Wen was rubbing the robot by hand, he even wanted to make its armor as thick as 10 meters.
However, I found that the finished product looked a bit like the Iron Man, so I reluctantly installed only 2-3 meters of armor.
But even such thin armor makes it look like a big iron ball.
His own weight was so high that even if he doubled his strength, he couldn't bear it.
If there is no fruit to eat, Lin Wen will not be able to drive the second unit.
However, both spells and fruits have a duration.
Once the duration is over, the machine will become paralyzed and turn into a big target like Unit 00 summoned by the Golden Divine Art.
But Unit 00 is a thing with real armor tens of meters thick. It is difficult for anything to blow it up except a nuclear bomb, but Unit 02 does not have such high defense.
It was for this reason that Lin Wen drove it to the front battlefield.
He must achieve sufficient success within the duration of the spell.
As soon as he jumped out of Fort Omon, Lin Wen glanced around and saw flashes of artillery fire erupting everywhere in the thick darkness.
Tracer bullets continued to rise into the sky, hanging like stars in the sky above the battlefield.
The position outside Fort Aumont was more than 30 kilometers long, where the armored groups of both sides exchanged fire, and the infantry only hid in the trenches to assist in the attack.
Lin Wen's vision was not disturbed in the dark, and he saw an armored division at a glance.
It consisted of eleven light tanks, twenty armored cars, and twenty-five artillery pieces.
Bang.
Lin Wen made his second big jump. He could only jump 3.1 meters originally, but with a slight lift of magic, the robot flew over hundreds of meters and crashed into the enemy formation.
[Object Control] is really useful. You can definitely win the Olympic championship with this spell.
Lin Wen's thoughts raced as he lifted his left foot with force.
boom!
The huge steel left foot carried the robot's weight of thousands of tons and stepped down, directly crushing the light tank. The thin 15 mm armor had no resistance and was like paper in front of steel that was hundreds of times heavier than it.
Lin Wen quickly raised his right foot, and with a bang, the second tank was crushed.
It's particularly interesting to step on this kind of tank.
The collision of steel will always be a man's romance.
Boom boom boom!
The big robot crushed all the tanks with an agility that was inconsistent with its size.
It was not until this time that the stunned armored vehicle reacted and quickly turned its gun around and fired at it.
Unfortunately, the 12mm bullet was unable to penetrate the armored robot, which was 2000mm thick at its weakest point.
The robots turned and rushed towards them, and the armored vehicles fled in all directions like frightened chickens.
But the robot, this naughty child chasing chickens, is extraordinary. Its speed surpasses Liu Xiang, its steps are as light as Quan Hongchan, and its movements are as sharp and agile as Zhu Ting.
He stepped on the chicks accurately and all the chicks were wiped out in just a moment.
Lin Wen turned around with a big jump, hugged his knees and turned three and a half times in the air, and landed in the artillery position with zero splash. He turned around and swept his leg, sweeping away twenty-five cannons like autumn phoenixes sweeping away fallen leaves.
This artillery position is finished.
Then Lin Wen swept his eyes around and set his sights on the next position. He jumped again and flew into the position, starting his journey of destruction.
It was already late at night, and the world was shrouded in endless darkness. The only light on the battlefield came from artillery fire and tracer bullets. Due to insufficient light, Lin Wen was not discovered until he destroyed three positions.
At this time, firepower was concentrated on him one after another.
A large number of tracer bullets also kept flying over his head, guiding the direction of the enemy's artillery fire.
Violent explosions occurred around and on the robot, but to the shock of all the commanders, the robot simply ignored their concentrated fire and rushed to the next artillery position under heavy fire.
In full view of the crowd, the robots quickly crushed all the tanks, destroyed the cannons, and then made another big jump into the tank camp.
At this time, the enemy was already prepared. The tanks immediately fled in all directions and turned their artillery fire back.
However, what scared all the tank drivers was that the big robot actually caught up with them under countless artillery fire.
It was like a long blanket covered with flames, with brilliant flames constantly bursting out of it and stretching out as the robot moved quickly.
Explosions kept occurring under its feet. This unprecedented behemoth, as if walking on a road of fire, quickly caught up with the fleeing tank at an incredible speed and blew it up with one foot.
The tank driver was shocked by the miraculous scene until his death.
The huge robot was covered in rosy light, galloping across the battlefield like a god descending from heaven.
It was so dazzling, like the sun in the dark night, attracting countless eyes on the battlefield.
It was not until this time that the Chief of Staff's order was conveyed to the armored group on the front line.
The fire from the robot suddenly became much sparser, but as the troops specifically sent to encircle and suppress it arrived, it became brighter again.
The three-dimensional firepower of the three armored divisions is extremely terrifying, and the twenty giant battalions are even more powerful.
Rockets filled the sky, dragging a dazzling web of fire towards him. The 110mm mortar even slightly affected the robot's movement.
The firepower was beyond Lin Wen's imagination, and the thrust generated by the huge explosion forced him to increase the power of [Object Control Technique].
His soul rapidly declined and fell below the 200 defense line.
Crack.
A strange noise appeared inside the steel.
Lin Wen felt his right hand becoming stiff, as if there was something wrong with the drive shaft.
