Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1869 is useless~
Without any fancy maneuvers, the undead skeleton cavalry charged directly towards the goblin camp after locking onto their target!

Amid screams, a barrage of gunfire quickly erupted as goblin soldiers with rifles opened fire on the charging undead cavalry.

If it were an ordinary cavalryman, he would probably be knocked down by the volley of rifle fire in a single encounter.

However, such attacks were of little effect against the skeleton cavalry, whose main structure was made of bones.

The undead skeleton cavalry launched an offensive that was unstoppable.

Faced with the rapidly advancing skeleton cavalry, the goblin soldiers, who had confidently formed a firing formation just moments before, immediately scattered in all directions.

With their small stature, if they were to be charged head-on by the skeleton cavalry, they would almost certainly die. At this critical moment, they simply couldn't muster any courage.

"Ripper! Bring the Ripper over here!!"

In the chaos, a goblin officer screamed and gave an order.

Meanwhile, above the goblin camp, the giant eagle knights, who were hovering low and monitoring the situation below, noticed a group of goblin soldiers rushing towards a corner of the camp as soon as the undead skeleton cavalry charged into the enemy camp.

Immediately afterwards, they swiftly ripped off the sunshade covering the area, instantly exposing the two steel monsters to the scorching desert sun!
Looking at the enormous machinery, the giant eagle knights, though they had never seen it in person, quickly deduced from the intelligence they had gathered that it must be the two 'Ripper' mechs carried by the goblin exploration team.

As a very important piece of military equipment in the goblin army, the cost of using goblin mechs is quite high, and the exploration team has deployed two of them.

Wei Qing's requirement was to capture the two goblin mechs intact, if possible.

This prevented the giant eagle riders from directly using aerial bombardment.

Under these circumstances, the goblin pilots wearing helmets moved swiftly, directly causing the giant eagle riders' swooping interception to fail.

The Ripper mech did indeed have an open cockpit, but the cockpit was actually surrounded by a protective railing that provided some protection, and the giant eagle's talons were directly blocked by the alloy railing.

The sudden attack terrified the goblin driver who had already climbed into the cockpit.

The giant eagle rider, having lost its claw strike, took to the air again and drew its bow and arrow, attempting to kill the creature.

But this was clearly not so easy to handle. The goblin driver's body was mostly covered inside the cockpit, with only his head sticking out. But even that head was well protected by a clearly reinforced helmet.

Under these circumstances, the presence of alloy railings further complicates matters, making the shooting much more difficult. In addition, to ensure they can draw their bows flexibly on the back of the giant eagle, the giant eagle knights are equipped with short bows as standard.

The advantage of a short bow is that it requires less strength and can be drawn and fired in rapid succession, but its disadvantages are that it has a short range and weak power.

Taking his life under these conditions is not so easy.

[Tracking Arrow!]

Having no other choice, the Giant Eagle Knights now unleashed all their hidden tricks.

The arrows, launched with perfect aim, chased straight after the goblin pilot.

However, the goblin pilots couldn't just sit idly by during this time. With a 'boom', the Ripper mechs started moving quickly, making it even more difficult to hit them.

Meanwhile, operating alongside the Ripper mechs was clearly a squad of goblin infantry. All of them were dressed in military uniforms, wore helmets, and carried rifles. They typically coordinated their advance with the Ripper mechs, with the Rippers charging ahead and the goblin infantry following behind, providing support with their rifles.

There was no need for further explanation; their guns were already pointed at the giant eagle rider flying in the air.

During this time, the Ripper mech, powered to its full potential and spewing thick smoke, charged directly into the battlefield.

Among a group of goblins, the undead skeleton cavalry were enormous, and it wasn't until two Ripper mechs entered the fray that the tide was turned.

Faced with the charge of the skeleton cavalry, the goblins showed unusual courage. Relying on the steel frame of their Ripper mechs, they were not afraid at all and charged straight at them.

There was no suspense whatsoever; the skeleton cavalry were instantly smashed to pieces by the Ripper mech, and they couldn't even stop the Ripper mech's charge.

At this moment, the mech seemed to have truly transformed into a 'ripper' on the battlefield, swiftly tearing apart the skeleton cavalry's charging formation.

However, with a "speed is of the essence" mentality, the undead forces sent skeleton cavalry to raid the camp. At this moment, there was no rear guard for the two Ripper mechs to charge into.

The two goblin pilots flying the Ripper mechs clearly realized this as well, and immediately turned around and steered their mechs back to fight.

However, this turn somewhat slowed their charge, and the goblin pilots took the opportunity to wield the circular saws and mechanical claws equipped on the Ripper mechs, charging and fighting within the camp.

Putting aside the mechanical claws, that circular saw could probably cut through even steel. The bones of an ordinary skeleton cavalryman wouldn't be able to withstand it. If they were cut, they would basically be cut in two.

Although they had obtained relevant intelligence in advance, this was truly their first time facing a goblin mech on the battlefield.

Lacking practical experience, all the previous assumptions are useless now.

Those steel-like bones were truly hard and strong, directly carrying the undead skeleton cavalry as they slaughtered their way through the area.

"I'm back! All those familiar feelings are back!!"

Inside the mech's cockpit, the two goblin pilots were filled with excitement.

Despite the sudden attack by the giant eagle riders that had terrified them into screaming, it now seemed that the riders couldn't do anything to them.

This discovery put the two goblin pilots at ease.

As long as they were inside the Ripper mech, they felt invincible!

Don't be fooled by how scary those skeletons look; they're useless.
They simply couldn't withstand the frontal impact of their Ripper mechs, let alone their circular saws and mechanical claws.

Just as the two goblin pilots were gloating, a strange, package-like object suddenly came into their view.

Before they could think any further, the sizzling fuse that appeared next caused the two goblin pilots' pupils to dilate violently, and they screamed on the spot!
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

However, before they could even utter a sound, the violent explosion, accompanied by the rapidly spreading shockwave, completely engulfed them!
