Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1898 The Main Force Enters the Field
Unlike the cowardly and suicidal goblin pilots, the dwarf soldiers are known for their bravery on the battlefield, and their motto is "Don't care about life or death, just fight if you're not convinced!"

Of course, as brave as they are, when they are clearly outmatched, they will retreat when necessary, just like when they faced the Ripper mech that charged at them. After all, being brave doesn't mean being stupid.

At this moment, seeing that the threat from the Ripper mechs had been eliminated, the remaining dwarven tank soldiers did not hesitate at all and drove back in their dwarven steam tanks.

He turned around and started exchanging fire with the enemy force composed of Destroyer mechs again.

During the attack by the Ripper mechs, many of the dwarven steam tanks were destroyed, but conversely, the Destroyer mechs on the opposite side also suffered heavy damage from the bombardment by their dwarven rotorcraft.

In the end, everyone was still evenly matched, but their mindset had changed during the process.

Before this, the goblins had the psychological advantage, thinking about how to eliminate them and believing that they were still the dominant side.

Now, with the arrival of the dwarven gyroplanes, a bombardment followed by flamethrowers, the goblins' confidence has been almost completely shattered.

Faced with the current situation, even the goblin general was at a loss. He felt as if he were trapped in a dead end, and he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

The only thing we can count on right now is the main force at the front that has been retreating.

Once the two sides' troops have regrouped and their strength has been replenished, there might still be some hope.

On the other hand, the dwarven steam tank troops were remarkably calm.

Leaving aside the main battlefield, the outcome of this battle alone is already decided.

What they need to do now is not even to defeat the remaining Destroyer mechs on the other side, but to stabilize the battle and hold off the enemy.

All that's left is for their dwarven gyroplanes to reload their bombs and return to the battlefield; then the fight here can basically be considered over.

Meanwhile, on the main battlefield...

The goblin frontline forces were constantly retreating, avoiding battle throughout.

Gargamel's undead forces, however, had limited ability to pursue, compounded by the ongoing war of attrition and the relentless bombardment from the Destroyer mechs.

Having held out to this point, the undead forces were essentially exhausted and could hardly mount an effective interception of the goblin frontline troops.

This made the retreat of the goblin army proceed exceptionally smoothly.

If it weren't for the large number of infantry inside slowing down their overall efficiency, they should have already rejoined the rear troops.

Just then, a cloud of yellow sand suddenly rose in the distance, and gradually, accompanied by a rumbling sound that kept approaching, even the ground beneath our feet began to tremble.

Upon noticing the commotion, the goblin officer on the front-line flank quickly looked in the direction from which it came.

They couldn't see what was coming from there at all; all they could see was a large amount of yellow sand in the distance, as if it had formed a special torrent that was rapidly approaching them.

At that approaching speed, escape is definitely out of the question.

Without time to think, the goblin officer made a decisive decision and issued an order to send the Ripper mechs from the front-line force to intercept and kill them.

Upon receiving the order, the Ripper mech unit immediately commenced operations.

Unlike the Ripper mechs in the rear, who had already suffered heavy losses, the goblin pilots on this side maintained their unstoppable momentum in the head-on confrontation, showing no signs of weakness. As the distance between the two sides continued to close, the torrent of yellow sand gradually affected their cockpits.

Even with special goggles on, this unusual situation greatly affected the goblin pilots' vision, causing them some unease.

Regardless, let's fire one shot and see how it goes!

With this in mind, the leading Ripper mech quickly retracted its mechanical claws and shot directly towards the torrent of yellow sand.

Thinking to himself, no matter what kind of demons or monsters are lurking in that yellow sand, I'll just take a hit from his claw first and test his strength!

Their mechanical claws could even penetrate armor plates, which made the goblin pilot quite confident.

But in the next second, the mechanical claw was instantly flung away by the swirling torrent of yellow sand, causing the goblin driver to scream in surprise.

"How can it be?!"

He swallowed a mouthful of sand with that shout, but he had no time to dwell on it. At that moment, the surging torrent of yellow sand suddenly surged violently.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, elven knights, clad in armor and riding warhorses, entered his field of vision!
Needless to say, the ones who rushed up to intercept the goblin army were the elven knights led by Hilke!
Seeing the Ripper mech that was almost upon him, Hilke remained calm. As he drew his sword, a sky-blue slash shot directly at the Ripper mech.

[Swift Wind Slash!]

Piloting the Ripper mech, the goblin pilot charging head-on towards Hilk didn't even have time to react.

In the blink of an eye, the pilot and the mech beneath him were instantly split in two!
After the first slash, Hilke didn't stop. With a flick of his wrist, he swung his blade and unleashed another swift slash!

Although he was still at the peak of the Vajra Realm, with the addition of his 'Gale Slash', his technique already possessed the power of a master of the Vertical and Horizontal Realm!

This terrifying scene left the other members of the Ripper mech unit completely dumbfounded.

Many pilots, even the hand holding the control stick, trembled slightly, and the speeding Ripper mechs nearly flipped over on the spot.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"

Amid screams, the goblin pilots, realizing something was wrong, immediately turned and fled.

But can they escape?

Hilk's "Storm Rider" talent is no joke. With the added boost of the Elven heritage mantra "Air Barrier" and his beast-like warhorse, the goblin Ripper mech force won't have an easy time escaping.

Just as Hilke was preparing to unleash his speed to quickly end the battle, a figure riding a black horse impatiently charged out from the elven knights' charging ranks.

"Hilk, leave me a few! Don't try to eat them all yourself!"

These past few years have been incredibly frustrating for Xie Liancheng. Now that he has finally escorted the main force to the front lines and seized an opportunity for a rampage, how could he possibly let it go?

Now that he had reached the Hundred Refinement Realm, Lord Ma suddenly accelerated. Jie Liancheng, all alone, was like a black lightning bolt, breaking out of the charging ranks of the elven knights and maintaining an astonishing momentum as he charged toward the fleeing Ripper mechs!

"Come and prepare to die!!!"
