After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

At a command, countless dazzling lights bloomed on the city wall.

The city's massive artillery batteries, combined with the powerful military spells accumulated by the spellcasters, responded to the opponent's attacks with resolute explosions and flames.

The mountain of corpses that became the target of concentrated fire was immediately engulfed by dozens of huge explosions. The flesh, blood, earth and rocks that made up the bodies were blown all over the place, and their volume was reduced by about 30% in almost an instant.

But its tenacity as a spirit of the dead rather than a living being allows it to continue moving forward, unstoppable.

Foul chunks of flesh and blood continued to be thrown towards the city wall one after another. As they got closer, countless tentacles stretched out from their twisted and broken bodies and began to wriggle, ready to sweep away and devour the soldiers guarding the city wall at any time.

This made Lysander grit his teeth.

If the artillery and magic bombardment continued, these ghosts could be completely destroyed before they touched the city walls, but the mountain of corpses was not the only trouble the defenders had to consider.

Beneath the behemoths, an army of undead, no less numerous than last night, was advancing towards Lilbas together with these giant creations.

If the firepower is overly attracted by these meat shields and cannot suppress the zombie swarm, the defense line can easily be overwhelmed by enemies that far outnumber them.

The existence of extremely bulky front row is so troublesome.

Aize, who was supervising the battle from the side, observed for a while and then stepped forward:

"General, have your men concentrate their firepower on the smaller Undead units. The big guys are perfect for testing out our new toys."

"Yes!"

Lysander didn't question it and immediately began to rearrange it.

And Aize turned around and looked behind him:

"Vir, where's your specialized puppet? Pull it up!"

"No problem, just finished adjusting it!"

The witch lady who was squatting and operating something stood up and waved her hand. Several humanoid puppets moved a cylinder with a sharp front end and a length of about one meter to the side of the city wall, propped it up with a frame, and aimed it at the giant corpse that was approaching step by step.

"Lord Aize, what is this..."

"emission!"

"Yes!"

Lysander hadn't even finished his question when, at Azer's command, the strange cylinder flew out, hitting its target with the precision of an arrow.

Then, nothing happens.

No matter how the targeting techniques and artillery were used to blast the zombies on the ground into pieces, the mountain of corpses was still approaching, and its constantly dancing tentacles were almost able to touch the shields of the defenders on the city wall.

You just said this is a “new toy,” right?

Could it be that the experiment failed?

Lysander didn't even have time to think about this possibility. He had already drawn his sword from behind the shield hanging on his shoulder and rushed towards the target, intending to cut off the tentacles to ensure Aize's safety.

Then--

boom! ! ! !

Before he could even tighten his grip on the sword, an extremely violent explosion occurred unexpectedly.

The huge and almost indestructible mountain of corpses was turned into a fireball by the intense energy bursting out from within. The ugly bodies were broken into countless pieces and thrown directly into the sky, then scattered all over the battlefield.

Only the skeletal feet remained, but they had also become charred black. Without the body to support it, it collapsed to the ground after a brief delay.

"...What? What's going on?"

Lysander was shocked and had no idea what was happening.

Meanwhile, Aize, who was standing by, was already happily high-fiving Villian:

"Well done! You're truly an expert in puppetry. You've already achieved such a high level of completion in just a few hours. It's truly hard for you!"

"No, no, no, it's because the weapon design ideas of Aize's family are so useful. Otherwise, according to my ideas, I'm afraid it would take a lot more effort."

Chapter 116 Technological Products

After the attack the previous night was thwarted, the undead spent the entire day building a series of facilities outside the city in preparation for further attacks.

At that time, Aize knew that they must be creating a mountain of corpses and preparing to use it tonight.

How to deal with these disgusting things will be the key to the entire battle.

The general response method of the human army is to concentrate a large number of techniques to directly bombard it, but the efficiency of doing so is actually very low.

These creations, made of a mixture of flesh, earth, stone and magic power, are not particularly hard, but their huge size and compact texture mean that magical attacks can usually only damage their surface. To completely destroy them, their bodies must be shattered bit by bit.

This is extremely difficult for Lilbas, who are currently facing a shortage of resources.

So, Aize started thinking about it very early.

Starting from the outside, you have to go deeper little by little like peeling an onion.

If it could implode, it would not only prevent the energy from overflowing and causing inefficient use of magic power, but it would also be able to directly disintegrate the entire structure and destroy it in one go.

Anyway, this guy's appearance isn't that tough, so why not just rub it with an armor-piercing bullet?

So, after discussing with Vivian, this large firecracker was born.

It used blasting techniques as its warhead, with acceleration and wind techniques combined with traditional puppet control technology as its power source. Considering that its speed might not be fast enough to penetrate armor, a drill structure was added to the tip to ensure that upon impact, it could penetrate as deeply as possible into the core.

Add another layer of hardening and it's done.

Although this thing looks like an oversized magic version of RPG from the perspective of creativity, structure and function, from a technical perspective, it should actually be regarded as a suicide puppet that is streamlined to the extreme.

Anyway, the effect is very good.

Although the target was a pile of corpses that had been blown to pieces, being able to kill them instantly was still something that the conventional means of this world could not achieve.

The effect it brings is extremely explosive.

The moment the No. 1 pile of corpses fell to the ground, the imperial soldiers on the city wall were stunned at first, and then broke into thunderous and deafening cheers.

The sound was so powerful that it even drowned out the wails and roars of the undead army.

The other three piles of corpses that were approaching the city wall also stopped at this moment.

Villian smiled and whistled:

"Haha, those old guys from the Immortal Dynasty look pretty scared. It's a pity that there's only one prototype, otherwise we could give them a little more shock from the other world."

Having said that, he turned his head and looked at Aize:

"Speaking of which, if you have something so interesting, why didn't you tell me about it earlier? I'm really worried about the lack of creativity because I've hit a bottleneck."

"I didn't expect the application of puppet technology to be extended to this extent. But it doesn't matter. We'll find out later."

Aize shrugged, feeling very good.

The success of this experiment not only means that the threat of the mountain of corpses will be greatly reduced in the subsequent defense, but also proves a direction of development.

That is, relying on magic to replace complex mechanical, chemical or electronic components, and creating something with functions similar to the original world while greatly simplifying the structure, is a completely feasible idea.

If applied properly, its impact will not only be limited to the military field, but will also lead to a big leap in the level of production and development.

I need to take the time to think about it carefully - if I get the chance in the future.

Right now, we still have to focus on how to repel the undead army.

For the Immortal Dynasty, there was a huge flaw in the plan they had formulated, and even the entire front line was put into an extremely embarrassing situation.

So, in order to avoid being liquidated or punished, they had no choice but to attack Krielbas.

The loss of a mountain of corpses was obviously not enough to make them retreat.

Facing the fierce firepower from the city wall that almost never stopped, the vanguard of the undead army had arrived under the city wall. With strange crackling sounds, they began to climb the city wall with extremely distorted body postures.

In the back, the shocked mountain of corpses was stunned for a full minute, and then seemed to have finally received the order from their master and began to move again.

The ground began to tremble again, and the overwhelming amount of rotten flesh was once again thrown into the defense line of the city wall. Poisonous gas and stench spread out, engulfing almost everyone.

In this extremely harsh environment for any living person, the guards who had been waiting for a long time once again began to mince meat with the dead who crawled up.

Aize began to plan every deployment and reinforcement highly accurately according to the situation.

Having used up her only prototype, Villian gathered her magic power and, according to the backup plan formulated by the former, continuously created quagmires and gullies on the battlefield, restricting and delaying the movements of these behemoths before bombarding them with magic.

The battlefield returned to its traditional appearance.

As the situation intensified, the enemy's core elite, the Nether Knights and Necromancers, were also thrown into the battlefield, engaging in the most intense academic exchanges directly with their counterparts on the empire's side.

The battle even spanned the night and showed no sign of stopping until the sun rose in the sky.

More than ten hours passed like this.

The four corpse mountains that were initially thrown into the battlefield had already been killed.

With Villian's powerful spells and the cooperation of the Imperial Army, none of them could reach the city wall. They were all destroyed and blown up early, turning into horrifying ruins of flesh and blood across the battlefield.

But more undead are still arriving.

They stepped over the stones of their companions scattered on the battlefield, tirelessly and fearlessly, continuing to advance towards the already scarred city wall.

It seems to never end.

On the other hand, the situation for the soldiers of the imperial army was not so optimistic.

They are brave, loyal, and unafraid of death, but are ultimately limited by their identity as living beings.

, all were breathing foul and harmful air, and were affected by the magic of the dead. By dawn, fatigue and weakness were clearly visible on their faces.

With limited manpower, Aize arranged for the troops under great pressure to take turns to rest as much as possible, and then the people who stayed in the city took over, trying their best to maintain the situation.

Then, as the ground began to shake again, the second batch of corpse mountains was completed, slowly rising from the front-line underground palace at the end of the horizon and began to advance.

It seems that the other party is planning to make the final decision.

But unfortunately, the most favorable opportunity for them has passed.

"Lord Aize, the first batch of products from the workshop has been produced and assembled and transported to the foot of the city wall!"

"Very good, put it into use immediately, quickly!"

Yesterday, Villian and Aize designed a series of combat puppets and summoned all the craftsmen who could be mobilized in the city to start production.

These simplifications, simplifications, and simplifications have almost eliminated all unnecessary structures, retaining only the most basic functional modules to save costs and facilitate control.

This is a product specially designed for the Undead Army based on the current battle situation.

More than a dozen penetrating rounds, identical to those used in the previous prototype, were loaded, aimed, and fired. The newly formed pile of corpses, almost as soon as they entered range, was shattered from within, disintegrating and collapsing on the spot, completely ineffective.

Then, a wheel-shaped golem inlaid with numerous sharp knives and teeth was thrown off the city wall. It rolled into the group of zombies under control, crushing and chopping everything it encountered as efficiently as mowing grass.

Then return - or choose a place where the enemies are particularly dense and self-destruct directly.

An improved version of the automatic blade that had appeared before and was placed on the city wall was also put into use. With even greater efficiency than before, it destroyed the human ladder built by the remains of the undead.

……

……

……

These crudely made and soulless things, which could make any traditional witch burst into tears and beat and scold several forgotten sects, were not very effective in combat due to the poor materials and craftsmanship, as well as the hasty design and production. They were also quite easy to damage.

However, the appearance of these things had an extremely huge impact on the Immortal Dynasty, which was unaware of the situation in the rear.

It means a showdown between dead things and living things, with the intervention of an existence called "creation".

Finally, as time entered the afternoon, the second wave of undead attacks retreated, leaving countless pieces of corpses on the ground city walls.

Once again, Aize bought time for his own survival and Chris's plan.

But it's not time to rest yet.

After watching the undead army leave and instructing Lysander to clean up the battlefield and accommodate the wounded, Aize immediately returned to the tent with Villian.

Because here, technical and internal issues need to be dealt with.

Based on the extensive combat experience gained last night, Villian is refining the design as quickly as possible to ensure that the creation can play a greater role in subsequent battles.

As for Aize, he plunged into government affairs.

The city was in a period of reform. He had only been away for a dozen hours to command the battle, but all sorts of documents and reports had already piled up on his desk.

The importance of dealing with them is no less than the war itself. It is directly related to how much reinforcements and supplements can be obtained in the next battle.
