I was a knight in the Middle Ages
Chapter 87 Mechanical Giant Turtle
"Let's take care of the funeral of the people here first and let them rest in peace." Alpha responded.
In fact, Alpha did not want to cause trouble for the bandit stronghold right now. Just one bear knight, Papua, was enough for Alpha and his team to resist. Judging from the traces at the scene, there were more than one such beastmen. With the strength of the Alpha team, they could not compete with them at all.
"Lord Alpha, are you scared?" Fattam asked in a low voice as he approached Alpha.
"Yes, I'm scared." Alpha said frankly without any hesitation.
"I'm afraid of dying meaninglessly on the battlefield. The enemy's strength is beyond our expectations. One bear warrior can leave us helpless. Now there are other beastmen and enemy cavalry. The enemy's equipment and weapons are superior to ours. If we go to fight the enemy head-on now, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg and courting our own destruction." Alpha didn't think there was anything shameful about being afraid.
"There is no point for us to go there now except to increase their record." So Alpha chose to escape temporarily.
"Lord Alpha, are we just going to stand by and watch?" Lilia had also been captured by bandits and hated them to the core.
"No, we have to do what we can. We are still very small now, but we are growing. As long as we grow up, we will definitely wipe out those beastly bandits and not let any of them go." As for when and to what extent they will grow, Alpha did not specify. Because this answer would seriously affect morale, Alpha did not want to leave a name of cowardice in the eyes of everyone.
"Lord Alpha, I support you." Fattam was the first to stand up and express his attitude.
"Lord Alpha, something is approaching the town." Suddenly, Lilia looked at the black spot in the distance and shouted a warning. As her voice fell, a huge black shadow appeared in everyone's sight.
"Muna, notify the people in the city to be careful. Fattam, Daniel, follow me! Lilia, continue to observe from a distance!" Alpha was curious about this sudden appearance and was ready to intercept it himself.
The four of them quickly approached the black spot. Soon, they found that it was a huge steel beast, emitting a strong fighting spirit.
Alpha carefully observed the steel beast and found that it had a very strange appearance. It had a hard shell like a turtle and huge limbs. It had no head or tail, and there were translucent glass windows all around, which should be eyes. It was about two meters tall, nearly four meters wide, and about five meters long. It seemed to be an ancient mechanical beast.
As the giant beast got closer, it seemed to notice the presence of Alpha and the others. It began to make a low roar and its body kept shaking, as if warning them not to get close.
But Alpha was not frightened, but became more excited. He knew that this was a rare opportunity that would allow him to gain a deeper understanding of this mysterious world. Alpha had never thought that there would be such a high-level mechanical beast in this world.
"Don't attack the other side actively." As soon as Alpha's order was given, the mechanical monster roared angrily and shouted threateningly at the approaching people.
"Make way and follow closely." Alpha was just curious and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack and take it down.
The mechanical turtle did not actively attack, but rushed directly into the town. It was familiar with the place and was obviously very familiar with the environment here.
After the giant beast entered the square, it looked at the bodies of the villagers placed side by side in the square, roared to the sky, and was filled with murderous intent.
"Everyone step back and stay away from this thing." Alpha didn't know what the monster would do next, but he would not put his companions in danger.
"Die, you all must die." Who would have thought that the giant beast could speak human language, and its red eyes revealed endless anger and murderous intent.
"Calm down, we didn't kill your people." Rowling stood up bravely.
"Fatam, Bull, prepare for battle." Alpha understood that those blinded by hatred would not think rationally, and this behemoth must be defeated.
Daniu and Fattam quickly approached the giant beast, gripped their weapons tightly in both hands, and slashed at it fiercely. The long spears and huge sticks blocked the mechanical giant turtle's ability to move.
The beast roared, its body shaking violently, but it was unable to break through the two wolves' pincer attack. Alpha and Makina took the opportunity to get closer and observe carefully.
Alpha noticed that there were many strange symbols and patterns on the giant beast's body, like some kind of magic circle, which seemed to be protecting the giant beast from external harm.
"Die, all of you!" The giant steel turtle let out a deafening roar, and suddenly a huge force burst out, instantly knocking away Fattam and Mousniu who were attacking from the front and back.
This giant steel turtle seemed to have only strong defense, but lacked attack methods and speed. Even when running at full speed, its speed was only equivalent to a human trot, and it could not catch up with the speed of a warhorse.
"Bang! Bang!" Fatam's heavy gun and Mousniu's mace hit the giant turtle's shell hard, making a loud noise, but without leaving any damage, they were knocked away. Lilia and Makina's feather arrows also hit the giant turtle, and all of them were bounced away except for the sound.
For a moment, everyone was horrified, even Alpha couldn't help but frown. The defense of this giant steel turtle was even stronger than anyone they had encountered before. Every attack seemed to be tickling it, and could not cause any substantial damage to it.
"Damn it, our attack is completely ineffective. What should we do?" Lilia asked anxiously.
Makino frowned and looked up at Alpha in the distance for advice.
Alpha didn't have a good idea. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The giant turtle is huge. We can lure it into the house and use stone obstacles to block it."
The crowd acted quickly, and they attacked the giant tortoise with all their might, leading it to an empty house. Then, they piled up tables, chairs, cabinets and other sundries in the house at the door, trapping the giant tortoise in the house.
Although the giant turtle had amazing defense and immense strength, it could not fully exert its powerful abilities after entering the surrounding rooms due to space limitations. The giant turtle roared and directly destroyed all obstacles around it. People shuttled between windows, while the giant turtle moved slowly in the ruins.
As time went by, despite the giant turtle's amazing defense, it would move slower and slower due to the increasing amount of ruins under its feet, and eventually it would be trapped in a small area. Just as everyone thought the giant turtle was about to fall into a desperate situation and gradually approached it, the mechanical giant turtle suddenly retracted its limbs and put its shell in direct contact with the ground.
"Be careful! Don't get close!" Alpha's reminder seemed to be too late. The giant turtle actually started to spin at high speed, and all the surrounding obstacles were cleared away in an instant.
At this moment, the surrounding ruins became an obstacle for everyone, making it impossible for Alpha and others to escape quickly.
"I'll stop it." Fattam didn't retreat, and his spear pierced the hard rock ground, blocking the path of the giant mechanical turtle. The friction between the iron spear and the giant turtle produced violent sparks, and Fattam's arms were unable to hold the spear because of the high-frequency vibration.
The giant turtle was spinning faster and faster, and the friction between Fattam's armor and the ground was barely enough to prevent her from being thrown out. However, Fattam still held on to her spear tightly, trying to hit the giant turtle with her body armor to stop it from moving forward.
Alpha stood in the distance and saw his companion in danger. He decisively jumped towards the giant turtle, holding a sharp knife and slashing at the giant turtle.
With a loud bang, although the long sword could produce great destructive power under the power of Alpha's commandments, it only slightly slowed down the giant turtle with strong defensive power. This was the first time that Alpha's shock force had no effect on metal objects, and the extremely hard turtle shell did not cause any damage.
The giant turtle continued to spin at high speed, almost completely destroying the entire town. The surrounding earth and stone ruins fell down and buried Fattam in them. Just when everyone thought Fattam had been crushed, Fattam suddenly crawled out of the wreckage. His armor was badly damaged due to the strong friction, his hair and clothes were also burnt, and deep wounds were left on his arms and body.
However, Fattam did not give up. When she saw that the giant mechanical turtle was still moving forward, she immediately stood up and chased after it.
"Let me do it." Mousse Bull roared, raised his mace and jumped up fiercely. The huge force directly tilted the rotating giant turtle, but this was not enough. The giant turtle was still spinning at high speed, and Mousse Bull was suppressed and retreated step by step.
"Daniu, bring him over here." Alpha's voice appeared behind him. There was a large pond over there, the town's reservoir, and Alpha was going to use the reservoir to deal with the mechanical beast in front of him.
"Okay." Mousniu received the order and turned to meet them. After a simple bandage, Fattam put on his armor and rejoined the battle. At this moment, only their attacks could work, and the others could only watch from a distance.
"Lord Alpha, here you go." Fattam took advantage of the gap between the mousse bull and the giant beast and overturned it with all his strength. The rapidly rotating giant turtle immediately transformed into a rapidly rolling wheel and rushed towards Alpha. The timing was just right. Alpha had been ready for ten minutes, with a long sword in hand and high morale.
"No, little Gulus, I'm not dead yet." Suddenly a dwarf rushed out from the ruins and stood between the giant turtle and Alpha. The giant turtle could no longer stop, and the appearance of the dwarf made Alpha look stern.
"No." A frightened child's voice came from the giant turtle, and the tone was full of regret.
"Get out of my way!" Alpha swung his sword, and the power of silence instantly exploded, with a huge force directly bombarding the mechanical turtle's shell. The sword rolled up gusts of wind and hit the giant turtle's head heavily.
The giant turtle's huge body fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. The scene was shocking. After the sound of the mechanical giant turtle's rotation disappeared, the surroundings returned to calm, as if the whole world had become quiet.
Seeing the giant mechanical turtle fall to the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because the threat of the giant turtle had been temporarily lifted. Facing this catastrophe, they finally had a chance to fight back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't kill little Gulus, he knows nothing." The dwarf begged loudly.
"Dad, don't beg them. They are all evil sinners. They killed everyone." The dwarf boy Little Gulus rushed out of the hatch of the mechanical giant turtle.
"Little Gulus, you've got the wrong people. They are not the robbers who killed the town. Apologize quickly." The old dwarf quickly taught his son a lesson.
"Ah! How is it possible? I clearly saw them carrying the corpse!" Little Gulus was still stubborn.
"They are helping. Do you want to leave these innocent people who died tragically to lie exposed in the wilderness?" The old dwarf was angry and scolded his children loudly.
"That's true. I know I was wrong, Dad." Little Gurus thought for a moment, then lowered his head and admitted his mistake to his father.
"You are not admitting your mistake to me, but to these knights." The dwarf Gulus did not seem to be friendly to Alpha and the others, otherwise he would not have waited until the last moment to show up, and they almost lost their lives.
"Aaron, treat and bandage Fattam. Lilia, you and Makina continue to scout the surroundings, and the others continue to search for the civilians." While the people were still alive, Alpha continued to give orders.
"I'm fine, just some minor skin injuries." Fattam took off her helmet. The bandage was already stained with blood, but she looked good, so she shouldn't have been seriously injured.
Fattam, wearing armor, looked at the giant mechanical turtle lying on the ground, knowing clearly that this was just the beginning, not the end. Fattam approached the giant mechanical turtle and seemed to feel an inexplicable heaviness, as if he had a telepathic connection with it.
"Who attacked you? Were there orcs among them? How many were they?" Rowling chose to stay and ask questions.
"We were attacked by bandits, including three werewolves and two bear men." Gulus escaped the massacre by hiding in the cellar. He witnessed the killing of the orcs and the brutality of the bandits with his own eyes.
If, as the dwarf said, they were wiped out by the unknown attacker in the distance, the enemy's strength might be far more than it seems.
Suddenly, there was some movement in the giant turtle. It seemed that the dwarf wanted to let him in. Maybe there was something fishy going on. Alpha would definitely not agree. The giant turtle was too dangerous.
Fattam took off his armor without saying a word and tried to climb down the extended turtle shell, winking at Alpha who was waiting nearby.
"You can come in, but you can't touch anything." The dwarf Gurus did not stop Fatam. After all, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"Father, outsiders are not allowed to enter Baxia, otherwise it will cause the wrath of the God of Earth." The dwarf Gulus immediately objected.
"Little Gulus, those bandit enemies are here to capture us. It was us who killed all the villagers. The knights are here to protect us." The dwarf wanted the child in the giant turtle to know this. After all, only by knowing who the enemy is can they avenge their dead family members.
"Then you can go in, but don't move anything." Little Gulus finally compromised. Unfortunately, Fattam was too tall and got stuck in the entrance. If Alpha hadn't carried him out, I'm afraid this old man would have died here today.
"Dad, I'm going to check on Baxia." Little Gulus kept his head down. As the saying goes, young people don't know the taste of sorrow. As he witnessed his home being destroyed and his relatives and friends dying in front of him, the giant turtle became the last refuge, which directly destroyed all of Little Gulus's fantasies about the future.
For him at this moment, living itself is full of pain.
"Are you the dwarf Gurus?"
