Age of Adepts

Chapter 508: East and west

Views:

The once bustling town of Beta has now become a bloody slaughterhouse for Shura.

The fast-turning goblin airship flew at an altitude of 50 meters, and slowly flew over the small town of Beta.

The town is not big, and there are only seven or eight streets crisscrossing it, but there are many shops and small shops along the road, most of which are weapon shops, blacksmith shops and alchemy shops. In normal times, this time is the prime time when there are many pedestrians and major shops are shouting loudly.

But now...

The streets are full of goblins and slaves with their limbs and bodies lying here and there. The doors of the shops along the street are open, and the inside is also a mess, with large areas of dark red blood stains and gnawed corpses beyond recognition everywhere...

The blacksmith shop and the alchemy shop were set ablaze.

The ferocious flame spewed out from the shop, frantically licking all combustible substances. Although most of the goblin buildings are equipped with metal panels in order to enhance the defense, many of the core parts also use all-metal components.

It's a pity, in front of the sea of flames that devour everything, all of these were reduced to ashes!

"Master Beirut is still in the alchemy..." Obem wailed in pain from the goblin airship.

Beirut is the only senior goblin engineer in the town of Beta. If there is any mechanical failure in the logging robot, only it can repair it. So seeing the alchemy industry being engulfed in a fierce sea of flames, Obem's heart was in pain at this moment.

Looking at the ferocious flames raging wildly below him, the goblin airship could only adjust its direction from time to time, moving flexibly through the soaring pillars of fire and the choking black smoke.

The attack on the town of Beta lasted only half an hour, but the trauma it brought was fatal.

That damned enemy seemed to be very familiar with this town. After entering the town forcefully, he went straight along the street to the alchemy shop. Then, after frantically slaughtering the alchemy shop and the blacksmith shop, he followed the other nearest road to escape the town and fled to the northwest.

To the northwest of the town is another lush tropical rainforest.

The reason why the goblins are so clear about the enemy's actions is because they are high above the goblin airship, and they can see a clear blood path in the panorama of the town at a glance. Although the surrounding streets and shops have also been invaded by the enemy to varying degrees, it can still be seen intuitively from the degree of destruction and cleaning efforts where the main battlefield is and where only 'innocent' people have been affected.

When they saw the goblin airship hovering over the town, those goblins who were scared by the massacre and hid everywhere got out again, crying and waving their arms towards the sky.

Just when everyone thought the danger was over, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly occurred in the burning blacksmith shop. The mushroom-shaped building on the ground collapsed instantly, and countless wood chips and broken and twisted metal plates were like raindrops. Hit in all directions.

In the sky, a terrifying fire rain suddenly fell again.

This... This is the huge amount of gunpowder stored in the cellar of the smithy being ignited!

After the horrible explosion, a huge earth pit collapsed in the center of Beta town, and the bottom of the pit was scorched black and turned into a huge sea of flames. And on the edge of the pit, as the sporadic debris continued to roll down, some goblins and slaves could be vaguely seen clinging to the pit wall, screaming for help.

Legion Commander Bazik's face turned ashen for a while, he gritted his teeth and looked at the miserable situation below him, and clenched his fists tightly.

"Aubem, go down immediately and assist the mayor here in the rescue. I want to lead people to track down that damn intruder... Quick, execute the order!"

"yes!"

Obem gave a military salute, took the umbrella bag from the guard officer next to him, came to the edge of the goblin airship, gritted his teeth and jumped down.

In order to track down the enemy as soon as possible, the goblin airship had no time to lower to a safe height and put him down. Therefore, even though he knew that the safety of the goblin umbrella bag was not high, Obem could only obey the orders of the legion leader.

When a cluster of small mushrooms bloomed in the sky, the goblin airship turned around nimbly and flew towards the northwest of the town.

"Cheer me up..." Legion Commander Bazik pulled off the suffocating disciplinary button, waved the bronze pistol in his hand and roared loudly: "All the observers must take their places, and we must find them." That damned guy... All artillerymen, get everything ready, after you find the enemy, I want you to use 100% anger to drown the enemy to me... "

Amidst its roar, goblins with monocular sight glasses hanging around their necks ran to both sides of the ship, filling every observation position, and then raised the sight glass to scan every suspicious spot below them. Place.

Inside the cabin, countless goblins were running and shouting, and a whole bronze mana cannon was pushed to the firing position, pushing away the metal paneling on the hull, revealing the black muzzle.

However, unlike the earth, there are no piles of metal projectiles and huge gunpowder barrels in the cabin, but boxes of mana batteries instead. These magic cannons have been perfected by the Goblin Great Empire Engineering Technology Institute, which can transform the strange energy in the magic battery into an unstable energy fireball.

Once such an energy fireball is launched, a slight collision will cause a terrible energy explosion.

And an expensive mana battery is only enough to trigger 5 energy fireballs before it must be replaced, so the artillerymen trained by the goblin empire actually pay attention to how to quickly replace the energy battery in battle.

It is obviously a huge waste to replace a mana battery if it is not exhausted. And if the magic energy battery is replaced before the magic energy cannon is completely cooled, it is easy to cause self-explosion. So Goblin Artillery is also a profession that tests skill and luck extremely!

The goblin airship flew quickly at a low altitude of 30 meters near the ground, and pairs of eyes that had widened countless times nervously scanned the ground, not letting go of any trouble.

Finally, at the edge of a woodland 2 miles away from the town of Beta, the goblins found traces of zerg crawling on the soil.

Looking at the number of traces, the number of zergs is obviously not less than ten!

Seeing the traces disappear into the vast jungle, the leader of the Bazik army immediately became furious.

"Hurry up and tell Naru, let him bring the marines to come over to me right away... I want him to raze this place to the ground immediately..."

Naru is the deputy commander of the 7th Marine Regiment.

When Bazik rushed back with the goblin airship first, he deliberately left the deputy army commander in the army to take charge of the command. So, under Bazik's strict order, the 7th Marine Regiment, which was rushing to the town of Beta, immediately turned around and advanced towards the position of the legion commander at high speed.

With goblin tanks and chocobos, the goblins can also travel up to 50 miles per hour. However, the slightly clumsy magic armor and logging robots obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the large army, so the entire team dragged and spread for three or four miles, like a long snake out of joint.

The worm witch Billis, who had been watching invisibly and hiding nearby, couldn't help but licked his lips regretfully.

His current worm army has not yet formed, and it is still capable of fighting small-scale local battles, but it seems like a drop in the bucket to deal with large-scale wars at the legion level, which is not enough.

The raid on the goblin town just now allowed him to capture two or three senior goblin figures, and he also harvested a huge amount of mana batteries and other unknown materials. The goblin captives were all transferred by him to a hidden crypt, and the captured loot was stored in the storage ring.

That's why he can still maintain extremely high mobility and flexibility.

As for the 'traces' left on the edge of the woodland, it was just a disguise. Billis separated the three stinging scorpions and led the enemy's leader elsewhere, while he himself turned around with the remaining twelve stinging scorpions and headed back to the lumber camp.

He won't do tough things with the enemy. Before the follow-up support arrives, the task given to him by the master is to survive and expand the insect army as much as possible.

In the world of wizards, worm witches like him are bound by wizard rules everywhere, and they have never been able to unscrupulously capture intelligent creatures to expand their legions. But here, the entire plane is a piece of delicious cheese that hasn't been deeply developed. No matter how he tosses and turns the world upside down here, there will be no hateful wizards and law enforcement officers to interfere.

So, he likes it here!

Although there are unknown risks and crises here, Billis feels an unspeakable sense of comfort and relaxation from the bottom of his heart. He likes it here, or rather he belongs here...

There is a plane full of delicious blood food waiting for him to pick and devour, what is more beautiful and satisfying in this world than this

So an hour later, the leader of the Bazik Army, who was frantically doing the demolition work, received another warning message from afar that the logging camp was under attack!

When it hurried back to the lumber camp with the Seventh Marine Regiment, all it saw was devastation and blood. What's even more frightening is that all the goblin guards and troll slaves who stayed behind have disappeared, and not even a mutilated corpse can be found in the entire Nuoda camp.

And the mana batteries stored in the camp warehouse were even missing. This was the worst news for the 7th Marines!

All the magic equipment equipped by the Marine Corps must rely on the magic energy battery to operate normally, but now that the stored magic energy battery has been wiped out by the enemy, then what will the Marine Corps rely on to maintain the next battle

The leader of the Bazik Army, who realized this problem for the first time, immediately calmed down, and after careful consideration, he did not send anyone to guard this unsafe camp. Instead, he led all the goblin fighters to the town of Beta, and then built a new defense system centered there.

After all this was done, the commander of the Bazik army finally let go of his so-called face, and began to send people to the Imperial Army Headquarters to explain the situation here, and sent an urgent request for help to several army commanders in the surrounding area.

Therefore, beyond the perception of the worm witch Billis, a larger-scale war storm is quietly forming...
