Struggle in the Steam Age

As the human legion poured out several rounds of firepower to repel the goblin army a little bit, the officers immediately commanded everyone to retreat along the traffic trench behind the trench.

At the same time, the crew on the gunboats on the river also fired a batch of shells at the fastest speed, temporarily slowing the enemy's progress.

Lawrence is naturally the last to go with Syfiel. As a pioneering noble of the Holy Visby Empire, it is the duty of some kind of noble to stand at the forefront when charging on the battlefield, and to walk at the back when retreating. Especially when this kind of extraordinary person can play a decisive role.

So under the circumstance that Lawrence used the two-pronged tactics of soul interference and summoning monster ghosts, this theoretically likely to cause a large number of casualties before the enemy retreat achieved zero casualties.

When the group of goblins cleared out the sudden madness of their group of people and eliminated the hobgoblin phantom that was blocking the way, they found that the first trench was empty.

"Keep on attacking and drive them all to the river. We are running out of time now." A goblin chief of the follower forward unit looked at the scene and said.

At this time, two steamboats dragged a long series of flat-bottomed barges and drove towards the lower reaches of the river according to Lawrence's orders, and this gave the goblin an obvious misleading.

In their view, it is obvious that humans are shrinking their defense lines because they have exerted a lot of pressure on humans on the battlefield. The ships traveling downstream hope to go to the human settlements downstream of the river to mobilize reinforcements and let the war go on.

Considering that the goblins have lost more than 20,000 people now, the goblins feel that at this time they can only carry the war to the end.

Because they have been isolated from the world outside the island for a long time, this group of goblins did not expect that the entire world outside the island has undergone tremendous changes.

At least compared to when their ancestors fought with humans, the firepower that humans now possess is more than ten times stronger than before, so that their losses now far exceed their previous plans.

But at this time, the goblins cannot retreat at all, because unless they are willing to give up the territory they currently occupy, otherwise they can only fight to the end.

More importantly, they paid a huge price in this battle, and also created massive sunk costs. If you don't continue, then even if you leave now, there is only a dead end.

However, the distance of more than 20 meters from the first trench to the second chimera is like a sky trench, because as the frontal length of the position that humans need to guard becomes narrower, the firepower naturally becomes denser.

Therefore, the goblins who climbed out of the first trench were all hit by various fires and fell to the ground when they tried to rush through the ground full of explosives, directional mines, traps, and snake-shaped barbed wire.

The goblins who tried to attack through the trenches retreated faster, because they found a machine gun position at the exit of the trench after crossing the narrow and curved trench. But in these narrow underground passages, they have no way to avoid the flying bullets.

"Okay, now, let's do it!" After Lawrence found that basically all the main force of the goblin had left their original positions and launched an attack on his own position, Lawrence immediately contacted the caster who had been watching the group of goblins. Nora gave the order to attack.

"Understood." Nora's brisk voice rang in Lawrence's mind. At the same time, she swooped down at a very high speed in the direction of the largest altar.

At the same time, there appeared one after another magic circle full of mysterious runes, and then countless silver-green silk threads stretched out from it, occupying all the surrounding space and forming a light scissors. .

On the side of the altar, a group of priests of the gods of goblins were singing and dancing, and around them, some very elite hobgoblins and bear goblins were patrolling the surrounding mountains and forests with weapons. Even the surrounding trees hide some goblin warriors holding arrows.

In front of the altar, the corpses of nearly a hundred beasts were directly stacked there. Each of them had a fatal wound. And the blood in their bodies slowly flowed out from the wounds, and then violently climbed up the altar a little bit against gravity and filled all the lines on the altar.

When the blood was collected on the platform at the top of the altar, it was directly injected into a groove at the top of the altar, and above that groove, a black flame burned and continued to follow the rhythm of the priests singing below. jump. At the same time, one after another power radiated from the altar and injected into the goblins on the battlefield.

Obviously, this altar is able to communicate with the spirits through the blood of burning sacrifices and perform all the war magic arts that cover the entire battlefield. It can be said that this time the goblins think they can win the biggest hole card. Therefore, there is a lot of goblin defense around the altar.

However, like other creatures of this era, the defense of goblins still ignores the problem of air defense. After all, those transcendents who can fly freely are all high-level transcendents, and often do not have to use that kind of sneak attack. The aircraft currently used by humans is slow and large, and it is easy to make early warnings.

As a result, it was not until the little doll dived to the height of the treetop that a few goblins who had squatted on the top of the tree before found this fleeting figure, but they saw the figure straight before they had time to warn. It smashed on the largest altar, and then the light ball around the figure exploded.

I saw that the thread of countless rays of light swept through almost all the surrounding space, and then all the goblins around the altar were cut into pieces.

Although some of the priests burst out with one or more defensive magic auras, it only caused them to die less than a second later than the others.

"Oh-a bunch of chickens." Looking at the goblin core command layer that was cut into piles of flesh and blood by the light he manipulated for an instant~www.ltnovel.com~Nara just suspended above the altar and looked at the situation in the distance. After something went wrong, the bear goblins and hobgoblins rushed over here murmured.

After all, the highest transcendent level of this group of goblins is only a professional priest, so naturally they cannot resist the assaults of advanced transcendents like Nora. And after the caster was wiped out in the first place, those so-called elite goblins simply couldn't resist the crazy killing of the little dolls.

After finishing all the goblins around, Nora looked at the altar that was still in motion and thought for a few seconds, and then released a silver-green light mask covering the altar. In an instant, the connection between the altar and a powerful existence in the void disappeared.

At the beginning, Nora was worried that the goblin **** could feel the changes in this altar and then react. But after waiting a few seconds, she realized that her worries were unnecessary.

After all, there are a large number of goblins in this world, and the goblins on this island only account for a very small part of the entire ethnic group, so it is normal for the **** of goblin not to pay attention here.

So Nora directly summoned a lot of processed faith power to cut off the operation of the altar, and then directly squeezed the entire altar into the astral plane. After processing the entire scene, she immediately put away the outer barrier and notified Lawrence of the incident.

"Good job." Lawrence replied immediately after receiving Nora's notice. "Also, you don't need to come out and join us now, just stay in the woods and be ready to chase down the defeated army. It is enough to leave everything on the front battlefield to us."

After finishing speaking, Lawrence stood up and said to the officers around: "Our people have removed the magical skills on the goblins, let us go all out to fight!"
