On the airship, everyone was eager to try. Everyone was waiting for the moment when the believers slowly approached the fire trap. At this moment, Narujia, who appeared in front of Yang Hao without knowing when, lying on the almost transparent fence, said that she always felt that those angels seemed to be similar to golems...
"I always feel that... that is actually a 'programmed' golem..." The head of the Ling tribe muttered. After Yang Hao touched her brown hair, she squinted her eyes and explained her guess in a daze: "If my children... study the principles of those 'angels'... maybe we can also create something similar - but the key point is... the method used by the 'God of Light' to create these angels seems to be very low-level..."
"Very low-level?"
“Hmm… It feels to me like a monkey deliberately imitating the way we make things, and in the end it came up with something that looks weird.
Compared to golems, the flesh and blood of those angels are rotting, so they definitely can’t be used for a long time... And the "strength and speed" of those angels seem to be very weak..."
The head of the Ling tribe looked at the angels flying above the believers. She paused for a long time, racking her brains to think for a long time before she reluctantly found an advantage for the creation of the God of Light:
"On average, the divine power carried by each angel cannot be compared with the magic power of the golem... If you insist on saying there is any advantage, the only advantage is probably that they can speak."
In the eyes of the chief of the Ling tribe, the angels of the God of Light were not only very low-level, but their only advantage was that they could "speak"—
Even if angels can fly, a group of them flying in the sky can only scare people and chop with swords in their hands. Can they be as threatening as the harpies of the Khutot Khanate
At least the harpies know how to provide multiple support according to different battle situations, and they also know how to carry different props to fight the enemy when necessary. They even know how to unite and cooperate and conduct quiet reconnaissance. Even if they are just conducting propaganda, they are not like the angels of the God of Light who disturb the people with their mouths wide open all day long...
In this case, isn't the Angel of the God of Light just trash? At least in Naruga's eyes.
But Yang Hao just smiled bitterly: If the angels of the God of Light are a bunch of rubbish, then it means that something bad is about to happen...
"That means that the speed and production capacity of the God of Light to produce "Angels" is faster than we thought... Although these things that are almost useless except for flying in the sky may not have much value in actual combat, we can't resist their large numbers - what's more, the actual combat power of the angels is still a mystery, we can't take it lightly, Naruga."
He once again rubbed the head of the little pet that "deliberately" showed its presence in the eyes of other girls, and at this moment, the position in front of the shelter church fired another round of shots at the center of the believers' army.
The shooting killed more worshippers without killing any priests.
The believers showed more determination than the last time they were attacked - of course, it might also be because the incense burner filled with hallucinogens in the priest's hand finally took effect.
In the eyes of every believer, they were walking on a golden road. What appeared in front of the church were no longer enemies, but countless gold, silver, jewelry, or delicious food.
In their eyes, the companions around them did not die "tragic deaths", but were overwhelmed by countless delicious food and treasures and showed extremely happy smiles.
They laughed and tried to get a share from their companions, but when faced with the growing piles of jewels or delicacies in the distance, they hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to move towards their goal with their heads held high.
The angels in the sky sang hymns non-stop, and under the control of an unknown force, the golden light on their bodies became stronger and stronger, even strong enough to allow all believers to move forward bathed in the faint divine power.
But even so, there will always be believers who wake up in confusion - but these awakened believers are finally swept away by the crowd and can only choose between being trampled to death and moving forward.
They had almost no way out, and in the end they could only pin their hopes on false beliefs and anxiously wait for victory to come.
No one realized that the soil beneath their feet had turned into wood at some point, and no one noticed that a huge airship was looming in the air to the right of their team.
They just stepped onto the hillside in front of the Sanctuary Church, and after finding that there were only a few stone giants blocking the way, everyone's morale was boosted:
“Only a few stone men are left?! It seems that we can definitely complete the revelation of the God of Light this time and give Roman peace!”
"Who was attacking us just now? Ah—behind those stone men! There are people hiding in the pits! What a bunch of shameless cowards! If you have the guts, just come out and fight us!"
"With just these few people... we can barely fill the gaps between our teeth! Let's charge!"
The believers were visibly divided into three echelons. The ones rushing to the front were the priests and fanatics who were most eager to complete the revelation of the God of Light and ascend to heaven.
Those in the middle are believers who want to move forward but can only move closer slowly due to lack of physical strength.
At the end, there are the sober people who are thoughtful and hesitant, not knowing whether they should keep moving forward but can only move forward under the influence of the crowd's thoughts.
These three echelons disrupted Yang Hao's plan, but he and the soldiers on the ground could wait, as could the Black Dragon who was ready, and the large amount of stone, earth and barbed wire that Nalujia had set up earlier.
They had to wait for the "awake" at the back to step into the fire trap before launching an attack, but at this moment, a small accident happened...
It seemed as if an angel staggered down from the sky and began to dive over the airship!
Yang Hao and the others just watched it dive, watched it narrowly pass through the fence of the airship, and then watched it fly towards the heavy machine gun position set up by the ground soldiers - and then as expected, it was stopped by a golem made of stone and soil.
With the burst of golden light, the golem disintegrated into the most basic stone and soil under the effect of divine magic. Looking at all this, Yang Hao touched Naruga's head with wide eyes and said:
"It seems that these angels know how to use divine magic - but that's right, for the clergy, it doesn't matter how much divine power they have... They rely on the faith provided by the believers around them to release divine magic... This is a lesson, Naruga."
"yes… "
The chief of the Ling tribe lay on the fence somewhat discouraged.
Theresa, who was standing by, added with a serious expression: This is actually because the God of Light made technical improvements when creating angels.
If those angels were really the golems' revenge, then it would have collapsed due to divine magic long ago. Why would it continue to fly high into the sky for observation after killing a golem
"In other words, the God of Light is actually quite capable... After all, this is the evil god who created the divine magic system for controlling corpses. Ah, it seems that all the believers are about to rush into the fire. They haven't realized what's happening yet. Are we going to start?"
The little nun blinked at Yang Hao. Yang Hao looked around and nodded to the black dragon who was already prepared.
The black dragon jumped out from the fence with a fierce smile, and at this moment, Yang Hao gave orders to Arthur and others:
"Remove our 'invisibility' to reduce unnecessary mistakes! Immediately throw the fuel-air bombs towards their retreat route, and all machine guns are ready to shoot at targets. This is a rare opportunity to test weapon data in the next ten years, hurry!"
The airship's invisibility magic was lifted.
Before the believers on the ground who were concentrating on fighting the golems realized what was happening.
With a loud dragon roar, the black dragon appeared.
Chapter 4: Light? Theresa?!
With a loud dragon roar, the black dragon appeared.
A black dragon descended from the sky and crushed several fanatical priests and fanatics in the front with its claws. The Ishgardian, who had been fed up with the fanatics' dirty and despicable tactics, began to accumulate red dragon breath in his throat impatiently.
For Nia, what she saw and heard in Roman made her feel sick. She thought that only a few people in this country were dirty and mean! But now it seems that the problem lies with the vast majority of people, not just a few!
As expected, Isgard’s only demand for the Roman Empire was land, not people.
Even if the people here are slaves, they may pollute the order of their own side. Instead of wasting money to feed a group of bastards who are not even good at working, it is better to settle down directly and move immigrants here from the country...
In this way, not only can the problem of insufficient magic power be alleviated to a certain extent, but the control over the colonies can also increase year by year... The only problem may be the short-term shortage of manpower... But this is actually not a problem at all!
After all, Nia still felt that if there were too many people, they would need to rely on the United Nations for food trade supplies before the corresponding facilities were built!
But then again, I wonder if the United Nations can sell us some of the golems and small golems...
"Forget it, let's just get rid of you idiots first."
Nia groaned, and then in front of the stunned and bewildered army of believers, she threw the unrecognizable body of the priest in her claws towards the group of singing angels, and then she roared and sprayed a mouthful of dragon breath on the fire trap formed by countless fallen trees in front of her.
The black dragon's breath had an extremely high temperature. However, facing a large area of wood whose internal moisture had not dried out, her breath actually just ignited all the wood in the northern section of the fire trap.
The moisture-filled wood was roasted and emitted white smoke. Countless cracks appeared on the wood, and milky white bubbles and hot steam gushed out from the cracks.
The raging fire spread in the direction of the steam, and for a moment the entire northern section of the fire trap was filled with white smoke that covered the sky - but Nia felt that it was not enough.
These disgusting guys should just watch their angel being killed!
Nia sneered and flew up from the ground, and just as she flew up, the angel of the God of Light pounced on her.
The long swords in their hands emitted golden light, and it looked like they were going to cut Nia in two. The angels chanted the part about "Punishment" in the Holy Book of the Church of Light and flew towards Nia.
They accurately attacked the black dragon's wings and eyes, but the experienced black dragon simply rolled to the left to avoid the angels' physical attacks.
Accompanied by waves of golden light and noisy and shrill screams on the ground, Nia could clearly see the group of angels releasing round after round of light magic at her.
but-
"You didn't expect that?! As a black dragon, I am damn near immune to magic?!"
The golden spears of light hit the wing membrane of the black dragon's wings. The originally indestructible divine power was of no use at all when facing the black dragon that was almost immune to magic - to Nia, those spears of light might even be worse than a toothpick that happened to pierce her tongue!
After all, for black dragons, whether it is "magic" or "divine magic", as long as the amount is not too large, it will basically have no effect on them.
Obviously, the angels here do not have that much divine power, even if the divine power provided by the believers on earth is taken into account.
"Why don't you just ask that god of light to come here in person?!"
The black dragon roared and insulted the existence of the faith of the believers of the God of Light, and then she swooped down towards one of the angels. However, before her claws touched the angel, the angel was torn into pieces by the pressure brought by the black dragon's dive.
What's going on? What's going on
Nia was a little confused. But at this moment, she suddenly saw several flashes of light coming from the machine gun position in the distance...
There was a whistling sound of bullets coming from above. It was as if a basin of hot water was poured over my head.
The Black Dragon rolled to the side again without hesitation, and the angel that missed her head happened to be completely caught in the fire network of the machine gun position and was shot to pieces.
"I owe you!" Nia shouted at the machine gun position, "I'll treat you to a drink when we get back—Hey?! Quickly shoot at those believers! Don't just focus on shooting the angels, angels are worthless, really worthless!"
Nia's taunting was sure to make every clergyman who heard her speak grit their teeth.
But for the believers who were trapped in the sea of fire deep on the ground, facing the sea of fire approaching step by step in front of them, no matter how firm their faith was in their hearts, they were still filled with fear of the flames.
For most creatures, a raging fire is the best "tranquilizer".
Most people don't have the courage to face a raging fire, let alone these fanatical believers in the Church of Light, where the most taboo things are "burning at the stake" and "burning corpses."
Faced with the raging fire, they lost their sense of order and began to look for a way out in the thick smoke that was not blocked by the fire, but they found few ways and many people were trampled to death.
Finally, someone said there was still room to escape on both sides of the fire - but for most people, the two sides were too far away!
They had no ability to move through the crowd in the direction of the east and west. Even if they could get through the crowd, they could not withstand the speed of the flames!
Not to mention that the United Nations' machine gun positions in the distance also began firing at the dense crowd!
Under the threat of death and hail of bullets, the believers turned around with distorted faces and prepared to evacuate directly to their rear.
Their courage has collapsed and their faith is worthless in the face of death.
Even the angels were at a disadvantage in the fight with the black dragon, and the priest was wiped out without a trace in the first photo—
In this situation, who can guarantee that after death they will be led to heaven by angels, rather than being burned by the black dragon and going to hell
They would even have their bodies burned to ashes! Under this situation, there was no chance for them to enter heaven!
They collapsed. The collapsed army naturally began to evacuate in the direction they came from, but at this moment, two fuel-air bombs fired from the United Nations' suddenly appearing airship blocked their retreat...
Those believers who were closer to the back of the fire were still looking at the things falling from the sky with confusion on their faces.
They couldn't understand where these things came from - after looking in the direction they came from, they saw a floating ship suspended in mid-air and gradually appearing.
"It's the devil's ship! The devil has come to harm us and our country!" The believers screamed in despair, "Devil! Devil!"
They insulted everyone on the ship and ran faster than anyone else, but no one paid attention to the two fuel-air bombs that were getting closer and closer to the ground.
At the moment when the fuel-air explosive bomb touched the ground and killed two believers who were unable to dodge, the fuel-air explosive bomb developed by Mr. Joseph, who was highly expected, exploded.
At first, it was a ball of fire that suddenly appeared.
Under the scorching fireball with a radius of more than 500 meters, all creatures within the range let out mournful howls—
Because although the temperature of this ball of fire is high, it does not have the ability to kill people in a short period of time, so Yang Hao and others on the airship and the black dragon who is fighting with the angel in the air can clearly see countless human figures dancing in the fire, and finally they are stuck together with other people and fall to the ground, still struggling.
Accompanied by hoarse screams in the fireball and the terrified retreat of the remaining believers, the fuel-air bomb entered the second stage - the stage of absorbing oxygen and then directly exploding.
After Dr. Joseph's improvements, his fuel-air bomb has acquired new functions.
After experiencing the first stage of the fireball, the runes inside the fuel-air bomb will be activated again, "sucking in" the surrounding air to cause a more violent combustion reaction, and then they will suddenly "push" the burning air out to the surroundings.
In this way, not only will the area inside the explosion range of the fuel-air bomb become an oxygen-free space where oxygen is burned out, but outside the explosion range, the high-temperature oxygen that is pushed out will also ignite all flammable materials on the road.
In the fire trap, except for a few lucky ones who were not affected or were only slightly affected, the others were forced back to the center of the fire by the hot air pushed out by the explosion of the fuel-air bomb...
They were huddled together, unable to move forward or backward. Everyone was screaming in despair in the smoke and high temperature. Everyone was trying to grasp the last possibility of escape, and at this moment, the machine guns on the airship also opened fire.
"Don't shoot so close! There are so many people there. Even if we fire in the air, it will hit a lot of people. Let's shoot from a distance! Test the accuracy of aerial weapons!"
Yang Hao was busy giving orders on the deck, "Attack from the edge little by little! Little by little!"
For the believers in the fire scene, they were completely dead. Yang Hao was naturally willing to use their lives to get more weapons tests. After all, he didn't plan to leave a group of robbers to do evil in the two important mineral areas of his home in the future.
For the gunners operating the machine guns, it was the first time for them to launch a projectile from an unstable aerial platform like an airship.
They were about 200 meters above the ground. When they were shooting at the densely packed crowd in the fire scene in the distance at this distance, they would always find that the shells were landing closer than they imagined.
"We need better sights!"
An elf operator muttered this after watching the shell he fired land about ten meters away from the fire scene.
"And if we're shooting at the ground from a high altitude, we might need to refer to the "lead time" of the bow and arrow... And it would be even better if this shell had a "tracer" effect like a rocket! Mr. Arthur?! Can you hurry up?!"
"Eat one bite at a time! You beasts can't - hiss?! Why the hell didn't I think of that?! Why don't we just put the fuel-air explosive bomb in the cannon and shoot it? Wouldn't it be able to shoot farther this way?!"
"But aren't we talking about machine guns?!"
The elves looked at each other in bewilderment, but they did not stop working. They tried their best to blast the rain of death towards the crowd of believers, while Arthur's sister-in-law was at the entrance of the warehouse calculating how fast the machine gun shells were consumed.
In three minutes—
"We only have enough ammunition for about a minute of continuous firing left!" Hydra shouted to Yang Hao and the others, "The heavy machine guns haven't used up any bullets yet, but the cannons are about to stop firing! Have we achieved enough results now?"
