When Hermione saw the scene of Sarah's alchemy doll fighting the living zombies for the first time this morning, what she felt was more than shock.
Comparing the numbers alone, although Sarah seems to not even need the most basic sleep and spends almost all day and night making dolls, in the end she is still not as good as Helbo, which is based on more than half of the UK. The transformed living zombie army.
And if we talk about individual strength, most of Sarah's alchemy dolls are actually just a little bit stronger than those ordinary living zombies that have not evolved. Only a few of the dolls she carefully crafted have combat capabilities comparable to those evolved from living corpses.
However, the biggest advantage of her alchemy dolls is that they not only have the ability to recover from injuries more efficiently than living zombies, but also have the ability to cooperate with each other that far exceeds that of living zombies.
This latter advantage is actually invisible at ordinary times, but once Sarah personally takes command, they will be much more organized compared to the chaotic attack pattern of the zombie swarm.
So Sarah used facts to prove one thing:
When losses can be ignored, even if the numbers are slightly inferior and the strength is slightly insufficient, as long as there is a better tactical strategy, local invincibility can be guaranteed.
Throughout the morning, even though Sarah did not stop Hermione from intervening in the battle, Hermione found that she didn't seem to have much room to "help" at all.
"Miss Granger," Sarah stood on a tower in the center of the ancient city, looking at the foggy distance, and said calmly, "If you must participate in the battle, then go to the northeast! There are live animals over there. Where the zombie horde is attacking the most fiercely, you can use your own method to help me relieve some of the pressure of defending against the enemy."
Hermione had gone out and wandered around twice before, but finally came back here. After all, Sarah had hundreds of years of wisdom. Probably because she looked a little depressed, he immediately realized what she was thinking.
But to be honest, after Sarah mentioned it, Hermione's mood became more subtle. Fortunately, she was not the kind of pretentious person. After being slightly embarrassed, she quickly nodded.
"Okay, I'll go... I'll give it a try."
After Hermione responded, she glanced in the distance where Sarah was staring. It's a pity that Sarah can clearly "see" the distant scene through her alchemy doll, but she can't.
After still seeing only gray fog, she couldn't help but sigh, then stepped on the broomstick and flew directly towards the direction of the fiercest battle.
…
"Boom!"
The fighting on the periphery continued, with waves of living corpses coming from the direction of London one after another.
Although they only have one general purpose in mind, and sometimes there are even some chaos that hinder each other when they act, but this huge base alone is enough to make everyone feel frightened.
Fortunately, the alchemy doll is not afraid. After all, even Sarah, a pinnacle masterpiece in the history of alchemy, took hundreds of years to finally possess such an extremely luxurious thing as "emotions"!
"boom!"
Amidst the radiance of various magic spells flowing from a little distance away, a human doll was hit continuously - some had their arms cut off by magic blades, some had their legs melted by high-temperature flames, and some were directly frozen by the cold ice. On the ground.
Although their bodies have good resistance to magic, they will still be injured if they are hit by magic too many times.
Fortunately, one of the great features of alchemy is its efficient repair ability derived from the refining of matter. As long as they use the materials that are everywhere, they can easily restore their combat capabilities, and they can continue to participate in the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Hermione had seen it with her own eyes before - those dolls with damaged bodies often only need to pause on the spot for a few seconds, pick up the broken arms and legs and press them against the fracture, and then use the soil or masonry under them to break them. Fix it yourself.
Later, Sarah herself said that the effect of this temporary refinement was actually flawed. At least the body strength of the hastily repaired doll would definitely be reduced.
However, compared with the efficiency of reviving those living corpses, can this "flaw" still be regarded as a "flaw"
Now Hermione was back near the city wall in the northeast. Seeing that a large number of dolls were using constant rotation to withstand the wave-like attack of the living corpses in a gap, she actually felt that It seems that I am a bit redundant after all.
"No," she suddenly realized after watching for a while, "she seems to have her own reasons for asking me to come over at this time, and it's not just a perfunctory way to take care of my mood."
It can be seen that the most inconspicuous nibbling attack caused the greatest damage to Sarah's alchemy doll during the battle.
A large number of ordinary living zombies used brutal beast-like attacks to continuously physically destroy the puppets in front of them. Even though they are not very effective in breaking the doll's body, the advantage in numbers often shows the greatest effect in this unpretentious attack.
A doll that has been completely torn into pieces can no longer repair itself, because even the refining formations buried in the body have been damaged.
After Hermione realized this, she took out several rune cards and waved them back, accurately placing them at the gap in the city wall.
"Crack-"
As the gravity rules were activated, the broken city wall was also affected, and the gap became larger. However, with Hermione's gravity trap, those puppets that were almost using their own bodies to withstand the attack immediately had a chance to breathe.
After seeing that the puppets, which had only been able to defend themselves, were gradually beginning to fight back, Hermione looked forward and nodded secretly.
The fighting is still going on, and they don't know when this offensive will gradually subside... Not to mention, there will definitely be increasingly frequent attacks waiting for them in the future.
Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help but look up and looked at the looming flying corpse above, and couldn't help but shook her head - in fact, this is the biggest reason why the ancient city of Winchester can hold its ground firmly here. It's not Sarah's alchemy doll, but the giant magic barrier that has been there since unknown time to defend against a large number of flying zombies.
I remember Sarah said that it existed long before she came here. Although she didn't ask, she must have... It should have been left by Maka, right
Hermione was thinking about it, but suddenly, there was a sudden noise in the distance.
