Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 245 The Grid World, the Intelligent Killing Machine Makes its Debut

A world of squares.

"Kill!!! No one is allowed to retreat, otherwise even if you retreat now, your families and children in the city will absolutely not be spared!"

"To save yourselves, and to save your families and the whole city, everyone, pull yourselves together!"

"It's either live or die; in short, this is the only path we can take with the infected."

In Brady County, at this moment, a large number of guards and professionals are engaged in a fierce battle with the snake people who are scaling the city walls!

Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but neither side had any way out!

Below the city walls were numerous giant snakes, as well as snake-people.

These so-called pollutants emitted hissing sounds, constantly urging their companions to attack the city below.

Even though there were already many, many corpses piled up at the foot of the city wall.

This war has been going on for a full two weeks.

The magic in the surrounding area had long been drained, and neither the snake people nor the humans in the city had any magic supplies left.

The city's protective barriers have long since crumbled.

Prior to this, the battle between Saint-level and High-level professionals and the Corrupted Entity had already come to an end.

Clearly, neither the snake-man corrupted beings nor the human professionals fared well in the previous battles.

With casualties on both sides and their magic power exhausted, these high-level combatants naturally withdrew from the battlefield.

Thus, the war surrounding the city eventually turned into a battle between lower-level professionals and snake people.

Moreover, at this stage of the battle, both sides have almost exhausted their magic power.

Thus, in the battles surrounding the city, you can even see mid-level professionals and snake people fighting each other using only their physical strength.

The casualties on both sides were undeniably heavy.

There was nowhere to escape from Brady, and no reinforcements were available.

As for the snake people right now, the situation isn't much better, since the snake people besieging the city now include all the snake people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Therefore, this battle is crucial, whether it's against the contaminated snake-men or against humans.

It's a war that you can only win, not lose.

Humanity lost, and naturally, the entire population of Brady County perished.

The snake people lost, and naturally, the humans of Brady County would pursue their victory and wipe them out completely.

Therefore, regardless of the casualties in this battle, both sides have reasons not to lose.

"The High Priest!"

"These humans can't hold on much longer! I think it's time for us to make our move, right?"

In the distance of the battlefield, a high-ranking snake-man looked at a saint-ranking snake-man with greedy eyes and spoke.

"Hmph, at this point, it doesn't matter whether we move or not!"

"The magic of this entire land has been drained. With little magic left to use, humans are like turtles in a barrel."

"Instead of killing these humans, we should preserve more of them. Only in this way can our race grow stronger and even win more favor from the Great Serpent Father."

High-ranking and Saint-ranking snake-people are clearly intelligent!
Although they lack intelligence, they are still far superior to those snake-men below the mid-level who only know how to charge into battle.

"The High Priest is right!"

"Besides, how did you come to the conclusion that humanity is about to lose?"

"Many of the guys who fought us before are still recovering. If we just rush over like this, won't we end up fighting them again?"

"If you want to risk your life to die, that's your business. I still want to preserve my life to serve the great Serpent Father."

Another high-ranking snake-man suddenly spoke up, and his thoughts were noticeably more agile.

"Coward, you are not worthy to be a child of the great Serpent Father!"

"If we want to destroy that great city, we'll have to fight those guys again sooner or later. Do you really expect those lowly snake people to be able to compete with them in terms of physical strength?"

The snake-man with scarlet eyes had a ferocious and sinister face.

It looked at the snake-man who was refuting it, its killing intent completely undisguised.

"Alright! You bunch of idiots, shut up!"

"For now, listen to me, and let's assess the situation of those humans first!"

"If you want to die, of course you can keep arguing."

The serpent-man of Saint rank had a fierce look in his eyes.

With just a glance at the two, the two high-ranking snake people immediately lowered their heads and shut their mouths.

Seeing this, the Saint-level snake-man was very satisfied.

However, at that very moment, as its gaze swept across the battlefield, its vertical pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

"What it is?"

? ? ?
The snake-man high priest murmured in confusion.

Upon hearing this, the other snake people immediately looked up and followed the snake-man high priest's gaze.

Soon, they discovered that the snake people were to the south, behind the siege battlefield.

A seven-colored flash suddenly appeared less than ten meters above the ground.

The flash point is very small.

But it was exceptionally bright and dazzling.

Not only did the snake people notice, but even the humans on the city wall noticed!

Just as a mid-level professional was fighting hard to kill a snake-man while fully encased in thick leather armor, he turned his head and saw a blinding flash of light less than 500 meters away from the city wall.

The flash quickly attracted the attention of the human soldiers, professionals, and snake people in the midst of the battle.

"what?"

"Could it be reinforcements from the kingdom? Or perhaps a blessing from the gods?"

Looking at that seven-colored flash, many people subconsciously associated it with a great god.

After all, in this battle against the snake people, there have been many instances in this world where divine intervention has been employed.

"There's hope?!"

In the midst of fierce fighting, a human soldier's eyes were bright yet appeared vacant.

The reason is simple: although the human soldier is still alive, his arm has been bitten through by the snake-man and infected with snake venom.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon transform into a terrifying snake-man.

Of course, if he didn't want to become a snake-man, there was only one way—suicide.

There are many soldiers like him at this moment on the front line of the city wall defense.

Ultimately, no soldier or professional who climbed the city walls ever thought they would survive this battle.

Therefore, their previous thought was that killing one snake-man would be enough, killing two would be a bonus, and if they were infected, they would commit suicide during the infection process.

It's cruel, but that's reality.

Of course, there must be some who don't want to commit suicide, and there are probably quite a few, after all, who really wants to die?

But their ultimate fate was to be killed by their comrades behind or to their sides!

Therefore, for these human soldiers and professionals infected with snake venom, the current miracle is no longer important.

But for those who were not infected, it was a huge lifeline.

"The gods have finally witnessed our bravery!"

"There's hope! Brady County is saved!"

"."

Countless people cheered.

After all, in their eyes, the seven-colored flash was so sacred that it could not possibly be the work of snake people.

In fact, from my perspective, the snake people have never received any help from the so-called snake god in this world.

And so, under the watchful eyes of countless people.

The seven-colored flash of light quickly changed as well.

In the blink of an eye, the flash of light transformed into a ring with a diameter of approximately thirty meters.

It just stood there quietly!

Upon seeing this, the high-ranking snake-men behind couldn't help but let out terrifying hiss.

As the hissing sounded, the snake people who were attacking the city nearby immediately rushed towards the seven-colored portal.

but!

"Da da da!!!" A strange sound rang out.

As many snake-people rushed toward the Gate of Light, they were sent to the land of the dead by a barrage of bullets.

Ten 'humans' emerged from the portal of light.

These humans, armed with heavy machine guns like Gatling guns, continuously fired at the surging snake-men!
At the same time, they quickly dispersed around the light gate.

As a result, more and more 'humans' continued to emerge from the portal!
These humans were all armed with heavy machine guns, and some even carried rocket launchers-like contraptions that they fired at the snake-men.

"Boom boom!!!"

The explosions spread like wildfire throughout the snake people's camp!

Large amounts of blood and flesh flew everywhere, accompanied by the terrified hissing of the snake people.

"What are all these things?"

Looking at those humans who were all wearing the same sky-blue uniforms and were even the same height.

Not only were the snake people bewildered, but many humans on the city wall were also at a loss.

However, before the snake people and humans could react...

More and more 'humans' poured out of the portal in an endless stream.

Even more impressively, tanks and supply trucks kept rolling out behind them!
Thus, after these strange humans gathered in numbers of about a thousand, including nearly a hundred different vehicles, they appeared.

The portal disappeared.

However, the firepower of just these thousand people was enough to completely destroy the snake people in this magic-deficient environment!

That's right.

These creatures emerging from the portal were killer robots from the Star Empire.

However, all the killing machines were made to look like humans.

Not to mention their appearance, unless one uses spiritual magic to scan them, no one would know that their cores are a mixture of metal and magical materials.

As for the tanks and supply vehicles, they were all manufactured according to the Blue Star version.

Moderate use of force is acceptable.

There's absolutely no need to use drones or anything like that.

This is the Stellar Empire's plan for 'rescuing' the Mortal Realm of Fangge.

Because these guys are just consumables.

It is a product used to win people's hearts, and it is also destined to be something that can be discarded at any time to gain a wave of goodwill.

"What a joke!"

"Where did this strange fellow come from?"

"This could never be a blessing bestowed by those false gods of this world!"

The snake-man high priest used his last remaining magic to sweep across the battlefield.

It was soon discovered that these strange humans generally only exhibited low-level magical abilities.

He soon discovered that these creatures, which looked human, were not human at all.

It even seems that there's something with terrifying energy inside these guys' bodies, driving their activities.

"An alchemical golem?"

Alchemy could be considered a creation of the gods, but those strange weapons and highly lethal items are completely out of step with the style of this world.

"Who cares what they are? High Priest, let us give it a try!"

A high-ranking snake-man was very confident in his physical strength and immediately expressed his willingness to test those killing machines.

At this moment, the snake-man high priest did not stop it.

He nodded with a gloomy look in his eyes.

After all, if high-ranking snake people weren't sent to stop them, those thousand strange alchemical creatures in the distance could very well kill all the low- and mid-ranking snake people in this area very quickly.

Without him.

These killing machines are incredibly powerful!
Even a mid-level snake-man, without any magical protection, cannot withstand a magic crystal bomb similar to a rocket launcher.

Meanwhile, this killing machine of a thousand men was divided into ten squads and was carrying out a purge of all the snake people!

Don't even talk about killing all the humans in the city if you don't kill these things.

There might still be a chance to escape now!

In fact, that's exactly what the snake-man high priest was thinking at that moment.

Because, during his spiritual probe, the Serpent High Priest discovered that among these alchemical puppet-like beings, there were actually more than ten beings whose magical power had reached a high level.

In the current situation of limited magic, facing an army of alchemical golems that likely possess large reserves of magic is clearly not a wise decision.

But no matter what, we should at least try.

Therefore, the high priest of the snake people agreed.

Soon, behind the snake-men, six high-ranking snake-men drove the giant snakes beneath them, each seemingly no less than a hundred meters long, towards the killing machine.

As the snake-man moved, a scene outside the city quickly caught the attention of some important figures in Brady County.

"My Lord Count!"

"Look at the situation outside the city."

"These guys look strong, but they don't seem like a gift from the gods at all."

A city garrison commander greeted the newly arrived count and solemnly pointed to the horrific scene of carnage outside the city.

Count Harlan Knight had just received the news and was the first to go to the front lines to check on the situation.

Looking at the scene outside the city, where large numbers of snake-men were being slaughtered and turned into corpses by those terrifying 'humans', he couldn't help but show a shocked expression.

Even at his peak, a high-ranking individual like him might not be unable to kill that many snake-men.

However, the fact that those humans outside the city, who appeared to be of only low-level rank, could carry out such a one-sided massacre still made him somewhat uneasy.

Long-barreled flamethrower weapon?

Are there things like magic crystal cannons?

Are they all alchemical products?

Count Harlen, without exception, quickly used his barely recovered magic to probe outside the city.

The result.

They are very similar to snake people!
"These guys aren't human!"

"They're all alchemical golems!"

“This is definitely not a creation of the gods, otherwise, our situation would not have gradually become what it is today over the years.”

Earl Harlan gave his answer immediately.

And it was at this moment, right under his gaze.

Six high-ranking snake-men had swiftly rushed towards a killing machine squad of a hundred men.

The magic crystal cannon failed to hit these fast-moving and physically strong creatures.

Even the machine guns of the hundred-man squad couldn't penetrate the scales and armor of these guys' bodies.

Just as those high-ranking snake-men were about to rush towards the hundred-man team and even launch a massacre,

Suddenly, six killing machines at the front of the hundred-man squad lowered their weapons!

In the instant that Earl Harun and even the high-ranking snake people were taken aback.

These guys, one by one, actually took to the air and charged towards the six high-level snake people!

With an alchemical body, you want to engage us in close combat?

The six high-ranking snake people only had this thought for a moment before they all revealed disdainful looks!

A group of low-level alchemical golems, relying on slightly more powerful alchemical tools, slaughtered low- to mid-level snake people.

They actually wanted to engage in hand-to-hand combat with those high-ranking snake-men?
How ridiculous!

Therefore, these high-level snake-people did not hesitate and directly collided with these six killing machines.

however!
"boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Six small mushroom clouds suddenly rose up in succession!

That terrifying scene moved the entire battlefield.
