"Lord Ansaldo, this is the Forge Temple. They are the guards of the temple!" said one of Ansaldo's guards. The others also looked at Ansaldo eagerly. For most dwarves, it was almost unthinkable to attack the guards of the Forge Temple.
"Idiots. What the master says is what we have to do. Do you want to disobey?" Captain Moreau of the guards roared.
"But sir. What if the gods blame us..." The guards still didn't dare to take action.
Ansaldo said loudly: "The Forge Temple is extremely sacred, but look at these people holding axes. Are they normal? They are not warriors blessed by God. I'm afraid they have been tempted by some demons!"
Everyone looked at the temple guards. They really looked crazy. They stared with huge bloodshot eyes and roared continuously. They pointed their battle axes at Ansaldo and his party, as if they were ready to chop them down at any time.
Although Ansaldo was pointed at his throat, he said excitedly: "Some evil thing must have invaded the temple and turned them into this. It is precisely because we are the most loyal believers of the God of Forge that we cannot allow such monsters to appear in the temple. We must clear them out for the God of Forge. The king will remember your merits, charge!"
"Charge!" Captain Moro rushed out with his sword raised. He had a great appeal to his men. Several warriors who were still hesitating just now saw him rushing towards the mad temple guards and rushed forward as well.
Captain Moreau was very powerful. He made a fake slash at the first temple guard who rushed over, tempting him to swing his sword, but he dodged it deftly. Then he took advantage of the gap in the opponent's shoulder and chopped off the dwarf's arm with his sword.
"My lord, something is wrong. With my strength, that sword should have been able to chop the guard in half, but his body seemed to be protected by a protective magic and became much stronger. I only cut off one of his arms."
"So, I told you they are monsters! Attack them!"
Sure enough, the dwarf in front of Moreau seemed to have no sense of pain, and continued to swing the long-handled axe with his other hand, fighting with Moreau. Moreau fought with him for another three or four rounds before he found an opportunity and pierced the opponent's heart with a sword.
The temple guard let out a scream and fell down. A red mist floated out of his body and then entered the bodies of the surrounding temple guards.
"It turns out that the red fog is causing trouble." Ansaldo said.
"I know. So we must destroy them, otherwise you will feel that the red mist is floating on you and something will happen." Evelyn saw Ansaldo's men starting to take action, so she released the arrow that was against his chin.
"Okay, you have passed the test. Let's fight together. Just now I had to make sure you were safe, because the enemies around you are the most terrifying." Evelyn said.
Ansaldo touched his throat subconsciously, "It's okay, it's okay, but should we retreat first? The situation here is too weird."
"Impossible, Chairman Xiao Chen is still down there, we must help him guard a way out." Evelyn said coldly. She put the arrow on her bow, gathered her fighting spirit on the bow, and shot an arrow at a temple guard. The arrow was wrapped in a sharp fighting spirit and flew directly into the forehead of a temple guard. A red mist floated out from the wound on his forehead, but unexpectedly, Evelyn's arrow suddenly exploded, blowing the dwarf's head and the mist to pieces.
"You see, this red mist is not indestructible. We just need to use our fighting spirit to attack it and it will dissipate."
"Okay. Moro! Pay attention to using your fighting spirit to eliminate that fog!" Ansaldo had just reminded his warriors when he heard Babik's voice behind him.
"Gas bombs ready... fire!"
There was a crackling sound, and more than twenty Type 05 guns opened fire at the same time. The whistling bullets flew past Ansaldo and hit the temple guards, making small holes in their armor and bodies. Blood immediately splashed out from them, and four or five blood flowers burst out from the bodies of several temple guards who were still advancing.
The so-called gas-breaking bullets are naturally bullets that break Dou Qi. These temple guards are all burning with Dou Qi. If ordinary bullets are used, they will be blocked by Dou Qi and it is difficult to achieve any effect. However, the gas-breaking bullets that have been recently developed in the past two years are a special bullet separated from the magic-breaking bullets, which have the best effect on breaking Dou Qi. Its basic principle is similar to that of the magic-breaking bullets, using magic-suppressing materials to resist Dou Qi containing magic power, but compared with the magic-breaking bullets, since most Dou Qi warriors wear armor, the shape of the bullet head has been changed to enhance the armor-piercing effect.
Before this, this special bullet was mainly used in some police situations to deal with criminal masters. Now it is used in a real battlefield for the first time.
Babik could roughly judge the extent of the enemy's injuries by observing the blood spurting out of the enemy. At present, the gas-breaking bullets can penetrate the fighting spirit and armor, but it is difficult to cause enough fatal damage. After being shot several times, the dwarf warriors can still stumble towards them.
"Mage, prepare the Curse of Fragility! Gunners, concentrate your firepower and take them down one by one!" Babik ordered.
The mages behind him who had been prepared for a long time began to cast the fragile curse magic on the temple guards. This magic not only weakened the defense of the temple guards themselves, but also made their armor brittle. The gunmen acted according to the magic rays shot by the mages. When several magic rays hit a dwarf's head, the bullets would focus on that person.
Although these temple guards had high status, their strength was mostly low to mid-level. Under such concentrated fire, they were shot down one by one.
It was the first time that Ansaldo saw how the Chinese Tower's weapons, called guns, fought. Although they were not as powerful as the pneumatic cannons he had seen before, they were still incredibly powerful compared to their small size. He couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he had not cooperated with the Chinese Tower before, but had chosen to fight to the end, he was afraid that his subordinates would have fallen down like the temple guards, with blood all over their bodies.
The noise of the battle attracted more and more temple guards from everywhere. Ansaldo and Babik, with a total of nearly fifty people, unknowingly resisted the siege of more than a hundred temple guards. (To be continued)
