"What is this?" Merlin was stunned when he saw a bunch of movable statues.
"It's a magic puppet!" Kai knew this kind of thing. It's not common outside. But the reason why it's not common is not because of how powerful this thing is. On the contrary, the evaluation of magic puppets in several major civilizations that Kai has experienced
They are all very average. This thing is expensive, cumbersome to make, slow to move, and has extremely weak adaptability. To put it bluntly, the price/performance ratio is very low. And to be honest, the combat power is only to bully the weak. If a strong person encounters it, a
It's very easy to fight ten of them. After all, with their slow movements, it would be a dream to fight a master.
Of course, this does not mean that this thing has no effect at all. On the contrary, this thing is quite powerful against ordinary people.
"Everyone, be careful not to come into contact with these things head-on. But they move very slowly. As long as you don't get hit by them, you'll be fine. When attacking them, attack their joints, especially their feet. As long as they can't move, there's no danger."
Kai did not use a long sword, but grabbed a halberd from a guard.
Without any beeps, Kai took up his halberd and chopped off the head of a magic puppet. Seeing how easy it was to deal with these things, the others immediately became more courageous and rushed towards the magic puppets with their weapons.
Perhaps the demonstration given by Kai was too easy, which led these guys to think that these puppets were just fake, so they all tried to imitate Kai and kill them with one hit, but they were in bad luck. Although the joints of these puppets were indeed fragile,
But that's relative. No matter what, these puppets are made of marble, and it's really difficult for someone without the ability to kill him with a single blow like Kai.
After a few people used their own lives to serve as negative lessons, the remaining people also remembered Kai's previous reminder and no longer rushed to play one-hit kill without overestimating their capabilities, but patiently wandered around.
Take the chance and give those puppets a few blows at their joints.
The hardness of marble is indeed good, but in the end it is still rock. It is hard enough, but it is still too brittle and will always break if you hit it hard.
And because Kai had made a prompt decision and blew the police whistle, a large number of support arrived soon. A group of soldiers took halberds and banged on a magic puppet, and the puppet was quickly destroyed.
In fact, puppets are just a bit scary in appearance. If you are frightened and just run away, then these puppets are simply invincible. But if you have no fear of them, these things are actually just stupid big guys with limited mobility. As long as you are willing to
Use your brain, it's not difficult to deal with at all.
For example, some smarter soldiers thought of trapping these puppets with ropes. These puppets have very low IQs. They can go around obstacles, but they don't know how to go around the ropes under their feet because they have poor reflexes.
In the mechanism, there is no reaction to the rope, so a few soldiers can knock down a few puppets with the simplest traps.
As soon as they fall to the ground, these things become living targets. A group of soldiers can smash them into pieces in minutes if they find some hammers and the like.
So the puppets that ran out of the potholes were quickly dealt with.
But soon, more puppets rushed out of the pit. God knows why there are so many of these things down there.
As the battle became more and more intense, more and more reinforcements arrived. Even Arthur and King Uther, father and son, were alarmed.
King Uther came in person with the knights. When he saw puppets pouring out of the pits, King Uther looked extremely ugly.
"Kai! Where did these things come from?" King Uther quickly found Kai who was organizing a defense line. Kai must move all the surrounding civilians away while they can still stop the puppets near the potholes.
.
Unfortunately, it is not that difficult to do so.
It's past 11 o'clock in the evening. If we were in a modern city, many people would still be watching TV dramas, shopping online, and shopping for karaoke. But this is Camelot in BC, and the nightlife is extremely poor. Most families at this point
Already gone to bed.
Therefore, Kai did not participate too much in the battle, but kept evacuating people from the rear.
When he heard King Uther's question, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was working very hard to help the old man clean up the mess, but he didn't expect that the old man had already arrived and didn't know anything about this place.
"Have you forgotten that it was you who ordered the excavation of Saigon's tomb? These things all escaped from there..."
King Uther was also choked. If Kai hadn't said it, he would have really forgotten...
"Could it be...that they really..."
Before King Uther finished speaking, Kai nodded.
"That's right, these guys really dug up the tomb..."
King Uther was also stupid at this time. How did he know that there were these things in the tomb?
Seeing that King Uther was still in a daze, Kai immediately said: "Now is not the time to discuss this. These things must be cleared away immediately, otherwise Camelot will suffer great losses."
Although these puppets are nothing to Kai, and they are not even difficult to deal with for the soldiers and knights in the city, the problem is different for the common people. These things are really harmful to them.
King Uther was also a decisive person and immediately began to organize manpower. In these years, except for the queen's affairs, he never regretted anything else. If he did it, he would do it. If he made a mistake, he would make a mistake. Can someone bite him?
Being a king means being so pissy!
With the arrival of a large number of support, everything is developing for the better. Although the loss of Camelot will not be small this time, for the wealthy King Uther, this loss is really nothing. So.
Although the scene was a bit chaotic, people's hearts were not, and everyone had confidence in Camelot.
Arthur also led people to the front line. At this moment, Arthur had not recovered from the previous blow and was a little embarrassed to face King Uther and Kai, so he could only vent his frustration on those puppets.
But the weather was unpredictable, and just when things were looking good, a strong wind suddenly blew.
Tonight was originally a rare clear night in winter. The moon was sparse and cloudless. If the Celts had not had the habit of admiring the moon, many people would have come out to admire it. But as soon as the strong wind blew, dark clouds immediately appeared.
Thousands of miles away, the entire land was plunged into darkness.
"What's going on?" The arrival of the dark clouds was too sudden. One second, everyone didn't even need to light a torch, and the visibility was ridiculously high, but the next second, it became completely invisible.
Only Merlin and Kai turned their heads and looked at the entrance of the tunnel, as if they were being stared at by wild beasts.
There, a middle-aged man wrapped in black mist stood there, looking at them with a look of disdain on all living beings, just like a man looking at the ants under his feet.
