As a partner, [Left and Right Hands] and his men naturally came today as well.
……
Buck looked at the growing group of thieves with satisfaction.
Although he was the only one with magical powers and the others were ordinary people, this also made it easier for him to manage, and no one dared to resist his orders.
And there is no doubt that with ordinary people like them as cannon fodder, his safety is greatly guaranteed.
The cannon fodder's equipment was even worse than the mounted bandits. Most wore worn leather or plate armor, missing gauntlets or helmets, with some going completely unarmored. Their weapons were even more appalling, with some even carrying sharpened sticks. The cannon fodder were scattered along the road, gathering in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing loudly as they walked, as if this wasn't a robbery, but a spontaneous trip.
This is understandable. You can't expect a group of thieves to be like an army, obeying orders and moving as fast as the wind!
The cannon fodder walked too slowly, which affected the overall forward speed of the thieves' group. The thieves on horseback in the front had to stop from time to time and wait for those behind to catch up.
"Lord Barker!"
[Left and Right Hands] pulled the reins, making himself and Buck move forward side by side. "We can already see the Banshan Manor ahead. Should we rest for a while, let everyone eat something to replenish their energy, and then launch the attack?"
"You're always so cautious!"
Buck laughed and said, "I think we should sit down in the villa on the manor and rest instead of sitting here on the wet grass."
He was right, [Right and Left Hands] had indeed always been very cautious.
For example, there were only Chen Ming and two burdens in the manor. If the [right-hand man] was brave enough, he would not have thought of so many insidious and cunning plans, and would have just rushed in with his men.
But [Right and Right Hands] underestimated the enemy and thought that Chen Ming was powerful - although the possibility was very small, could Chen Ming be a magician?
If Chen Ming is a magician, then a few ordinary people like them would be courting death if they rushed forward!
Therefore, [Right and Right Hands] would rather lose most of their interests and cooperate with Buck than take risks easily.
Now that Buck is here, even if Chen Ming is a magician, Buck can stop him, and then the remaining thieves can easily capture his wife and daughter as hostages!
The advantage is mine!
Despite the obvious advantage, [Right Hands] still felt unsure, so he continued to advise, "We've been walking for several hours since we set out, and both men and horses are a little tired. Wouldn't a direct attack be inappropriate? This Chen Ming dared to settle here alone with his wife and daughter. He's very likely a magician. I think we should be cautious."
"Haha, my old friend, the magician's magic is indeed terrifying, with strong destructive power and an astonishingly large killing range, but the magic power consumed is also astonishing. I have so many brothers, does he have so much magic power?"
Buck shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Besides, I've killed quite a few magicians before. Once I get close to them, if a magician doesn't have time to cast a spell and can't beat me with swordsmanship, the outcome is already determined..."
After saying this, Buck smiled smugly.
He actually hoped that the Chen Ming the other party was talking about was really a magician.
If you are lucky, today's harvest will be even greater, because magic equipment is very expensive!
Chapter 65: Dimensionality Reduction Attack (Subscribe)
Chen Ming curiously opened the monitoring app on his phone and saw a large group of thieves slowly approaching.
The footage captured by the solar-powered surveillance system was extremely clear. Not only that, [Crimson] also controlled several drones to fly over the bandit group for aerial footage.
Since the people in this world have never seen this kind of high-tech gadget, they are completely unprepared.
Soon, Chen Ming discovered Ma He's father's friend and right-hand man on the surveillance footage, and immediately understood where these enemies came from.
Good man, Chen Ming originally wanted to wait until he planned to kill Ma He's parents, then make a brilliant appearance as a hero, and then take advantage of the opportunity to repay the favor.
I didn't expect the other party to be so eager to die!
Then we can only send him on his way.
Chen Ming is not a hesitant person. He immediately ordered [Crimson] to activate the emergency plan to wipe out the enemy!
He didn't have to worry about what happened afterwards. If a mere band of thieves attacked, [Crimson] could handle it with ease.
What Chen Ming needed to consider more was the impact of the death of his [right-hand man] - for example, his plan to repay a favor was seriously hindered, and he had to come up with a backup plan.
……
Just as Chen Ming was thinking about the backup plan, a team of T-102s (12 in each team) and a team of T-103s, under the control of [Crimson], arrived at the gate of the Banshan Manor.
At the same time, the group of thieves who were still advancing slowly also saw this group of spider puppets.
"Master Buck, look at those puppets!"
[Right and Right Hands] said thankfully, "This Chen Ming is indeed a magician, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of us."
He was thankful that he did not act rashly, otherwise he would have been dead.
"That's good, at least we don't have to bother searching for and hunting him down," Buck said with a smile. "When controlling a puppet, a magician can't leave the puppet too far away, so he should be near the gate."
"But those puppets seem very difficult to deal with. Can we win?"
[Left and Right Hands] had a bad feeling and asked.
"Will win!"
Buck's tone was still very confident.
However, he felt a little strange when he looked at the group of spider puppets at the gate of Banshan Manor.
Those small spider puppets are not so bad. Although their eight slender and sharp legs cannot break through his defense and can be easily broken, they should be very useful against ordinary people.
Buck was a little confused about those large spider puppets. Their legs were thick and strong, and they had no killing power at all.
And it moves so slowly that I'm afraid it can't even hit an ordinary person.
It is estimated that the magician named Chen Ming failed in his improvement - he wanted to increase the thickness of the material to improve the defense ability of the puppet, but it made the puppet more cumbersome, consumed more magic power, and its combat power was not as good as those small spider puppets.
The other party even used such a failed work, which shows that they are at the end of their rope and have no other options!
Thinking of this, Buck felt relieved and silently laughed at Chen Ming. Not only were his puppets crudely made, but he also knew nothing about military formations. It was too lacking in common sense to let the spider puppets put up such a thin line of defense. Wouldn't it be easily broken through with one charge?
If it were him, he would definitely control the puppets to surround himself, and then cast spells calmly under the protection of the puppets.
Buck deduced it in his mind, and after fully enjoying the sense of superiority that came from having his IQ crushed, he decided to let the cannon fodder take the lead.
After all, he came from the Kingdom Knights and understood the principle of despising the enemy strategically and taking the enemy seriously tactically.
So even though he inferred that Chen Ming was very weak, he still planned to let the cannon fodder consume Chen Ming's magic power to avoid a disaster.
If a magician loses his magic power, he will be at the mercy of others.
After receiving the order to attack, the cannon fodder began to run slowly towards the gate of the Banshan Manor.
Buck let the cannon fodder go first, while he himself stayed in a safe position - according to the common sense of war in this world, this was indeed an absolutely safe position, and neither bows and arrows nor magic could threaten such a distant area.
But for [Crimson], all members of the thieves' group had already entered the range.
And now is the time to speak the truth.
Twelve T-103s raised their four sturdy legs. 48 blue electric lights flashed by, and orange beams like lasers shot out from those legs. Tungsten alloy warheads with a diameter of more than 30mm were accelerated to a terrifying speed of more than Mach 12.
Although Buck was already in a state of enhanced magic power and his dynamic vision had been greatly improved, he could not see clearly what was contained in the orange beam of light. The intuition of danger made him feel frightened and horrified for a moment.
He was somewhat thankful for his good luck, as none of the 48 orange beams were directed at him.
But in fact, this was not his luck, but something that [Crimson] did deliberately - the last time he sparred with Ellysi, he had to stop at a certain point at the request of his master, so he lacked a lot of necessary actual combat data, and needed to fight the enemy to test and supplement it.
That enemy is in the center and looks like it's worth fighting. Hopefully, it doesn't break down too soon.
Buck received "special care" from Crimson, but others were not so lucky.
There is absolutely no time to react. The moment the orange beam enters the visual system, the body is penetrated. Even if one is wearing armor, it is useless in the face of the huge kinetic energy.
The fragile body of an ordinary person was blown apart by the shock wave caused by the tungsten alloy bullet. Countless pieces of flesh and organs were thrown high into the air, and red blood spurted out, even forming a series of cloud-like blood-red air masses.
All the thieves on the 48 straight lines were not spared.
At this moment, a series of thunderous noises finally came and suddenly exploded in Buck's ears!
The flying mud and gravel frightened the horses and made them run away. A thief sitting on the horse had no time to react and accidentally fell off the horse.
This sudden dimensionality reduction attack obviously stunned the thieves - although they had killed countless people and committed many evil deeds, they had never seen such a scene!
Watching the companions who were just chatting and laughing together just now turned into blood mist in vain...
Their bodies were covered in blood and viscera, making them forget to escape. Instead, a few simple philosophical questions popped up in their minds: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?
If the T-103 were controlled by a human, he might be soft-hearted when faced with an enemy that had given up resistance, and might choose to accept prisoners.
If the Grim Reaper were present at the scene, he would most likely turn around and leave. His duty is to punish sinners, not to destroy living beings without emotion.
But [Crimson] has no emotions, it is just an executor, it only wants to complete the master's task!
If I can completely wipe out the enemy, my master will surely praise me!
As the 12 T-103s slightly adjusted the angles of their limbs, 48 orange beams once again crossed the entire battlefield, wantonly plundering the lives of the thieves.
Chapter 66: The Scales of Victory
The human body is vulnerable and fragile when exposed to firearms. Once a tungsten alloy bullet grazes the body, it is an irreparable and serious injury. Those directly hit not only suffer multiple limbs but also splatter a cloud of blood.
After two rounds of electromagnetic cannon fire, Buck finally understood that those large spider puppets did not seem to be failures, but had abandoned their mobility and were using all their strength to cast some kind of linear attack magic.
This kind of linear attack magic has a range far exceeding that of area magic, and it cannot be matched by bows and arrows.
According to common sense in the magic world, the more powerful the magic, the more magic power it consumes.
So the magician named Chen Ming probably has very little magic power left in his body!
Thinking of this, Buck ordered his men to continue the charge - as long as they exhausted the opponent's magic power, the huge and heavy puppet would not be able to move and could be ignored.
However, the thieves showed a completely different reaction.
The mounted thieves were elite confidants trained by Buck himself, so they were quite loyal. After hearing the order, they began to charge towards the gate of the hillside manor at an accelerated speed... However, the quality of their horses was too poor. Some of the timid horses stood still and refused to move after being disturbed by the electromagnetic cannon.
But those cannon fodders began to flee in all directions - although Buck regarded them as cannon fodder, they regarded themselves as human beings!
At first they thought they were in a favorable situation and would rush into the manor to kill, burn and rob everyone... So they obediently rushed forward, fearing that others would rob more.
Now that they realized they were going to die, they naturally scattered, causing chaos on the entire battlefield.
As the crowd dispersed, the twelve T-103s became busy, constantly fine-tuning the angles of their legs and firing beams of orange light. Previously, if there were many people in a straight line, one could easily penetrate ten, but now each tungsten alloy bullet could only penetrate five or six...
Buck, who had narrowly avoided being hit by the orange beam, lamented his incredible luck as he took advantage of the chaos to press forward towards the manor gate. At this moment, he had only one thought in mind: to break through this thin defense, ruthlessly dismantle the puppets, and then kill the coward who could only hide behind the defenses and control the puppets.
Perhaps because he felt the horse was not fast enough, he dismounted, crouched down, and used his magic to increase his speed to the maximum. His figure passed the last few hundred meters like a ghost.
Although he was tall, he was not skinny, and his body beneath the armor was as strong as steel—a body forged in actual combat, not useless dead muscle developed in the gym.
After arriving at the manor gate, Buck stared sharply at the two rows of spider puppets in front of him, with a sneer on his lips.
The thieves who were still charging behind him saw that their leader had already reached the enemy's lair, and they all smiled with confidence of victory.
The overall situation is decided!
However, what surprised Buck was that the two rows of spider puppets seemed not to notice his presence.
The 12 large spider golems continued to reap the lives of thieves in an orderly manner, while the small spider golems remained standing, with only one walking up to him.
Those slender legs seemed to be able to break easily.
"Haha, I'm being underestimated!"
Buck grinned coldly.
He began to admire the magician named Chen Ming - not his strength, but his arrogance!
Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.
He admitted that the other party was able to control so many puppets, and his actual combat power should be comparable to his own!
But the opponent has consumed so much magic power on cannon fodder that the balance of victory has already tilted towards their side.
What’s more important is that the opponent only sent one puppet to stop him, and it just stood there motionless, waiting for him to attack first?
The other party's arrogance made Buck feel endless anger and a desire to kill that was like hunger.
So he decided to show his strongest attitude and crush the opponent mercilessly - thinking of this, he took out the magic potion from the leather bag on his belt and drank it all in one gulp. The liquid with a strong bitter taste slid down his throat and into his stomach.
A heat began to expand from the stomach, flowing to every corner of the body and spreading. Stimulated by this heat, the muscles began to tighten and make a sound.
The name of this magic potion is [Overclocking Burst], which can break the limits of strength and speed based on the enhancement of magic power.
Of course, for ordinary people, this is poison, and the body will explode and die because it cannot withstand the powerful drug effect.
Next, he chanted continuously and cast three status magics: [Weapon Strengthen], [Armor Strengthen], and [Flame Possession]
During normal combat, it is difficult to find opportunities to cast these spells.
But since the other party was so arrogant as to give him time to prepare, Buck naturally wouldn't be polite.
With the long incantation finished, the preparations were complete.
