It was a little monster casting a descending spell. Without even looking at it, Quess knew what the other party was doing.

However, he was a little curious as to why the dog handler would send a little monster to come over and "make trouble" while taking advantage of the explosion.

Was he sent to die, or... to send a message? Ques suddenly had some guesses in his mind, and he immediately put them into practice.

The fact that he was not integrated into the machine by the emperor proves that this little monster is very talented in illusions. He has three glowing blue eyes, long pointed ears, and greasy hair that hangs on his slightly hunched back like a cloak.

At this time, all three of his eyes were flashing slightly, which was the sign that he was concentrating on twisting a person's mind. But what he didn't expect was that a hand with an iron glove suddenly reached into the gravel.

Among the rubble, he grabbed him.

After being caught, the little monster knew that his strength was inferior to that of other races, so he did not try to use brute force to break free. He used his natural spell-like ability to release a dark red light wave at the iron glove.

"Hot metal!"

Generally speaking, after being hit by this spell, the metal armor will become like a soldering iron. Even the strongest humans will be suddenly burned by the soldering iron, and they will instinctively take off the metal armor first.

next to.

However, this little monster miscalculated. First, the one who caught him was not an ordinary human, but a young blue dragon; second, the iron glove was not an ordinary metal armor, but the dragon-headed war hammer of Quess.

"Hammer" transformed into the Iron Hand.

At the same time as he was hit by the spell, a spray gun-like part protruded from the iron glove and was aimed at the little monster. "Puff, puff", two lines of fire shot out from the muzzle of the gun, the energy transferred by the "hot metal" spell just now

, are all returned to themselves.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Accompanied by continuous howls, the little monster was pulled out of the rubble by Quess. Naturally, his spellcasting was interrupted, and Mayor Green, who was under the curse, immediately regained consciousness.

"What's wrong with me?" the leader of the Five Cities Alliance shook his head violently, and then quickly shouted to the mercenaries and Steel Fork Battalion soldiers who were still standing on the wall of Ruanma City: "This wall cannot be defended.

Stay and set up defensive positions in the surrounding neighborhoods!"

At the same time, Quess also confirmed his suspicion. His palm caught the little devil's neck and squeezed hard, causing the cruel troublemaker to stop screaming. Moreover, Quess was still there.

A note was found among the greasy hair.

"The emperor is bound to get the soft maple. Searching for the soul, in my humble opinion, is the goal..." After reading it, he understood what the dog trainer meant. A flash of red light flashed, this note and the dead one

All the little monsters turned into fly ash.

For the next half an hour, the steam tanks outside the city kept pouring artillery fire on the city wall, and the entire two hundred yards of the city wall collapsed and turned into piles of ruins.

Several blocks near the city wall were originally vacated as barracks for the former Alliance Army. However, they did not spend much time evacuating personnel, and a defensive front was quickly built from scratch.

The soldiers of the Steel Fork Battalion acted as a baggage transport team, with more than a thousand people and various livestock, piling a large amount of gravel directly on the street, blocking all access roads. On the top of the building facing the street, Green arranged

There are many crossbowmen and long-range attack equipment.

The armies from Cuimu, Red Pine, Black Willow, and Lanfeng cities formed phalanxes according to the original battle order. They were hiding on the corners of some blocks, waiting for the commander's dispatch.

The holy warriors sent from various temples formed a reinforced reserve team of more than 500 people, hidden in several buildings. The praying priests were busy running around, giving these warriors with firm faith more blessings.

bless.

As for Mayor Ruanmae, although the Storm Mecha was "out of fuel" and could not return to the front line again, he also found a place where he could be more effective.

The fat mayor took the mercenaries, plus a group of "sailors" from the Leviathan giant ship assigned to him by Ques, to capture the ship owners, caravans, thieves' gangs and wealthy families who had not had time to escape Soft Maple City.

I "visited" them all one by one.

They did this not only to eliminate possible hidden dangers, but also to gather some war resources. Anyone who was good at wielding swords or war materials piled in the warehouse were all temporarily requisitioned by him.

Some people wanted to resist, but they were all persuaded by physical means by the vicious mercenaries and the even more vicious "sailors" under Ques. Armed with weapons and equipment, they "honestly" became part of the death squads.

member.

Under the pressure of the sword, this death squad consisting of more than a thousand people was first thrown into the predetermined battlefield, serving as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's offensive power. There was only one thing they could do, and that was to fight in the next battle.

Survive on your own merits.

And this is actually not an easy task. The next attack launched by the dog handler quickly proved this point.

Those semi-mechanical monsters that were a fusion of gremlins and mechanical chocobos rushed towards Soft Maple City immediately after the steam tank bombardment ended. The Evil Crows followed closely, and Blazing Shadow Beasts were scattered among these monsters.

among them, as a response.

The collapsed city wall formed a defensive vacuum zone. The mechanical chocobo, which was as agile as a velociraptor, walked on the gravel and rubble as if it were on flat ground. As the vanguard, they were the first to rush into Ruanma City.

Due to the different ways of merging the gremlins, each modified mechanical chocobo has an inconsistent appearance and different abilities:

Some of them just added some intelligence to the mechanical chocobo; others gave the machine some simple spell-like abilities, such as "phantom trick", "fire magic", "spider walking"...

Each has its own differences.

The first batch of resisters who encountered them - those glorious death squad members - were guilty of this.

After all, they are not a regular army, most of them are just ordinary people who are brave and fierce.

When facing the mechanical chocobo that was as tall as a horse, they infantrymen had some fear. Immediately afterwards, although the opponent's level was not high, his ability to win and fall out in such a way caused heavy losses to him.

The members of the suicide squad who couldn't see through the "Phantom Trick" tried their best to slash an opponent, only to find that the opponent disappeared from the spot with a "pop", and in the other direction, the sharp beak of the Mechanical Chocobo had already pecked into his neck.

Some members of the death squads relied on their agility to climb to the top of the buildings on the street. However, before the regular defenders could use their bows and crossbows to drive them down to fight, the mechanical Chocobo cavalry who mastered the "Spider Walking Technique" stepped on the wall.

, chase him to his side.

There were also members of the thieves group who gathered into small groups to resist the enemy. However, they were still relying on wandering to attack their enemies. In the blink of an eye, they released a spell on them, lighting up several figures with candles.
