The steel torrent sounds very exciting, but those who face it don't think so.
The next day, the emperor's coalition forces, which bypassed the city of Verona and headed south, were immediately blocked by the iron torrent.
Groups of Nislock synthetic commandos suddenly appeared from behind the hill and launched a fearless assault on the Emperor's coalition forces.
Of course, no matter how highly simulated a synthetic human is, they are fundamentally different from humans—after all, they have no concept of "fear of death" at all.
"Enemy attack!" Along with the shrill warning shouts of the Imperial scouts, dense gunfire rang out.
In the first few minutes, the Imperial coalition forces were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. Then the Knights launched a counterattack, trying to repel the offensive of these synths.
Soon everyone discovered the problem: first, the synthetics' marksmanship was much better than that of ordinary soldiers, resulting in disproportionate casualties on both sides; the other was that the other side was a torrent of steel, while this side was just flesh and blood, so that the morale of the Imperial army was rapidly declining.
After all, not everyone dares to fight these steel monsters that don't know pain.
In this situation, demigods began to appear one after another, leading the knights in power armor to launch a fierce breakout.
The first team was led by the bearded demigod who had questioned Peggy, the "Bear of the Wasteland" from the Wetting family. This guy was a demigod of the physical sequence, and the whole earth shook when he ran, and his speed soon reached an astonishing 80 yards.
It charged straight into the synths' line like a tank.
At a speed of 80 mph, the kinetic energy of the impact alone was enough to kill a large number of synths, so that a large gap was soon created in the enemy's line. The knights in power armor then rushed in from the gap, further tearing apart the synth line.
At other positions on the front lines, each team of demigods also began to show their special abilities and severely suppressed the offensive launched by the synthetic troops.
For example, the hook-nosed man who once made things difficult for Ask, it is hard to tell what specific law or ability he has, but every time he raises his hand, a group of synths will fall apart.
Another example is Eleanor's ancestor, the Sealed Furnace Fire, Red-haired Otto, who simply stood there, and the guns of the synths in front of him were all silenced, while the power armored knights rushed forward to kill indiscriminately.
All members of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group stood on a small hill in the rear, watching the stalemate battle on the battlefield ahead while waiting for orders from the emperor and the dukes.
To be honest, in Ask's original plan, everyone should have stayed hidden at this time, and if they were going to fight, they should have just slacked off, and if they were not going to fight, they should have just hung around to see if they could find some clues about the mastermind behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, Peggy was too high-profile last time, so His Majesty the Emperor is now paying close attention to their mercenary group. There is no choice but to wait here.
So Ask pointed here and there, explaining the laws and techniques of demigods to the girls.
"Did you see that? Those synths exploded from the inside, which means it couldn't have been caused by an external force like a storm. It was more like some kind of law that could locate the inside of the synths. For example, it overloaded the circuit or caused the battery to become overheated. Remember, even if you can't tell right away, at least you should be able to guess and analyze your opponent's abilities."
