Above the Seven Towers

Chapter 271: Golem Assault

Views:

Adam covered his shoulder and rushed up from the tunnel. Behind him came the rumbling sound of footsteps and the sound of metal colliding. It was no longer just one or two golems, but almost all the golems came out in full force, following closely behind him.

The golems brandished their weapons, threw flying knives and javelins, and forced Adam to jump up and down, like a group of ferocious dogs chasing a panicked monkey.

He felt quite regretful in his heart. The previous success made him a little careless. He was not as careful as before when he acted. He did not check the golems against the wall one by one. As a result, when he was sneaking up to a golem, he was punched on the shoulder by another golem standing behind him.

The golem was badly rusted, but not completely broken. He judged it to be damaged at a glance, but didn't expect to be ambushed by it.

Although the blow was not serious, it pushed Adam in front of a group of golems. Adam used all his strength and relied on the help of two earth spike magic balls to escape from the siege of the golems.

"There are a lot of golems chasing me!" A Dan stepped out of the gate of the ruins, roared, and retreated to the side with his body bent. At this time, the people above had received Ji Yijun's warning. Various guns and cannons opened fire, drowning the cave entrance in flying bullets. The first few golems that chased out were instantly beaten into scrap metal, but the golems that followed behind used the bodies in front as shields to continue moving forward.

The bullets from the air gun were no longer very effective at this point. Originally, they had to hit the golem's head and joints where there was no armor. Now that they were blocked by the golem in front, the only thing they could do was to add some holes on the meat shield's body.

The shells of the pneumatic cannon could still cause considerable damage, but their firing rate was still too slow. After hitting four or five golems, the golems behind them eventually rushed out.

A golem lifted up the remains of its companion and threw it hard, hitting a gun position, knocking the pneumatic gun to the ground. The two gunners were unable to dodge and were crushed into meat patties. However, the golem was also knocked to the ground by two cannons. The golems behind it filed out, stepped on it, and rushed to the stone wall.

These golems were too heavy, and it was very difficult for them to climb over the stone wall. However, the fallen golems in front became steps for the golems behind, allowing the ones who came later to climb over the stone wall by clinging to their bodies.

"Stop them! Don't let them pass the barricades!" Yasen shouted. Five mid-level warriors in the village, including Sinclair, led a dozen low-level warriors with hammers and axes to meet them.

In terms of height, Sinclair and his men looked much shorter than the golem, but their sturdy bodies contained amazing strength. He held a war hammer and fiercely collided with the long sword in the golem's hand, but he did not retreat a step. However, the golem's body was extremely heavy, and the weight plus the force of the sword pressed Sinclair's legs deeply into the ground for more than ten centimeters. The same was true for the other mid-level warriors who fought against the golem. Although they were able to fight, the difference in size made them extremely disadvantaged.

The battles of low-level warriors were much more dangerous, and they usually worked in groups of two or three to hold back a golem. However, if they were hit head-on by the golem, they would mostly end up vomiting blood and being knocked away.

Kalanda, Ola and Ji Yijun had already drawn their swords and joined the battle, and even Adan fought back after regrouping.

But their swords and knives could hardly hurt the iron-clad golem. Kalanda used his great sword infused with fighting spirit to strike hard, but only cut into one-third of the golem's arm, without damaging the internal organs at all. Ji Yijun's thrusts were just like tickling, and the various negative effects of the magic sword were almost useless against the golem. Adan and Aura both had magic swords that could be called divine weapons, but their attacks were equally weak in front of the golem.

Moreover, these humans are not as strong and fit as the dwarves in nature, so they dare not withstand the golem's attack head-on. They can only rely on their agility and engage in roaming combat with the golem.

The golems' weakness is undoubtedly their heads, but this is also the place that these golems protect most closely. Although they have lost their reason and consciousness, their fighting instincts are not weak at all. Neither Kalanda nor Adan could find a chance to break through for a while.

Chen Hansheng did not join the battle, but stayed by Luo Ling, Elena and the others, holding his gun and looking for a target to shoot. However, everyone on the battlefield moved too fast, so it was difficult for him to find such an opportunity.

However, there finally came a moment when Kalanda blocked the golem's long sword.

Chen Hansheng raised his gun and aimed it at the golem's head, shouting, "Kalanda, get out of the way, let me shoot!"

Kalanda began to increase her strength, and the golem on the opposite side also began to increase its strength. When the strength reached its maximum, she drew out her sword and rolled, and the golem's long sword chopped the ground. It suddenly stiffened for a moment, and Chen Hansheng seized the opportunity and fired three shots in a row.

The penetrating power of the five or six bullets is far beyond that of an air gun. One of Chen Hansheng's bullets was deflected, and the remaining two pierced the golem's head. The golem's control hub was destroyed, the light in its eyes instantly extinguished, and it slowly knelt on the ground.

Ji Yijun said happily: "It's done, Lao Chen! You played well! Let us help you find opportunities and let you call the roll one by one!"

Chen Hansheng did not respond, but looked at the entrance with a stern expression. Their battle blocked the first seven or eight golems, but failed to block the entrance to the ruins. Moreover, the position where they fought also blocked the attack route of the pneumatic cannon.

Another group of golems climbed over the stone wall and rushed out.

"Things are going to get bad!" Chen Hansheng said anxiously.

"Let's go too!" Luo Ling ignored the backlash of magic power and began to try her best to release the mind whipping magic.

However, unlike what she expected, the white whips hitting the golem did not have the same effect as they did on the possessed Babik.

There seemed to be a barrier in the golem's head that resisted mental magic, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of Luo Ling's spells.

The golem that was fighting with Ji Yijun was only frightened for a moment. After a slight pause, it raised its knife and chopped at Ji Yijun again.

Luo Ling increased the strength of her magic to the limit, and finally the golem began to stagger. Ji Yijun found the right opportunity, moved behind it, leaped into the air, and stabbed the back of the golem's head with a sword.

Just as Ji Yijun shouted "OK", he saw Luo Ling spit out a mouthful of blood and fell into Elena's arms.

"You can't fight like this! We have to find another way." Elena said urgently while releasing healing magic.

At this time, the golems that came later had joined the battle. The defense line composed of strong men was under a sudden increase in pressure and began to crumble.

Among them, the most unlucky group of dwarves were attacked by two golems. One of them was chopped into two pieces in just a few moves, and blood immediately covered the mud in front of the ruins.
