Novel Full Chapter 219 Defeat
“Charge! Charge!” Zhann shouted as the golems got destroyed one after another by the Red Rain.
The 5,000 Elite Cavalry was covered with heavy armor, and their weapons were at least 2 meters long. With their powerful physique, they clashed against the golems, and tore them apart.
Just like the red rain, the golems destroyed by the cavalry failed to regenerate. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Aldred was shocked again when he watched this. “Stella, do you know how they destroyed my golems?”
‘Their weapons are enchanted with the spell destroyer. They are used to destroy magical barriers, and sometimes disable a magical projectile such as fire ball, but they also work on your golems.”
“So they turned off the spell that keeps my golems alive?”
“You can say that.”
Aldred sighed and then smiled. “This magical world is very interesting. There’s always a counter to something. Nothing is absolute.”
Stella smiled. “I am glad you handled it well.”
Aldred wasn’t the type that got stressed when he faced setbacks. He faced them calmly, and with a smile on his face. Stella was glad that was the case.
“Now that I know what they can do. Let’s use my full power. Artillery Golems, attack!”
…
As the enemy cavalry cheered in triumph and victory, Zhann raised his large halberd and shouted. “I told you those golems meant nothing to us! We are Tarrar’s Elite Cavalry. We can defeat anything!”
“We can defeat anything!” His men cheered.
The old magician on the other hand frowned. Feeling something weird again. He looked at the sky, and that’s when he saw dozens of small objects flying in the sky, and headed towards them.
“Enemy attack!” The magician shouted. “Cast the magic barrier!”
Before they could raise their staff and cast their spell, the golem shells sped up and then exploded within their ranks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
“Ahh! My legs!”
The explosion threw a lot of bugbears away, and some even lost their limbs, while a dozen or so died.
“Their armor is remarkable,” Aldred said. “A single voley, and only a dozen died. Attack again.”
A larger volley of golem shells flew into the sky again, but this time the magician casted their barrier and attacked the objects in the air.
Suddenly, atop a nearby hill, 1,200 fighter golems, and 1,000 gunner golems charged forward.
“Zhann, you take care of the golems on the ground,” the old magician said. “My magicians unit will take care of the sky.”
Zhann nodded and roared. “Follow my lead!”
With a heavy armor weighing more than 200 kilograms, the defense of the elite cavalry made it invincible in the battlefield. That was what made Zhann so confident.
His cavalry charged forward, and gunner golems started firing at them.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Zhann felt his armor getting hotter and hotter, but he gritted his teeth and bulled through the storm of bullets.
A few seconds later, the two groups collided fiercely.
Zhann grinned, and slashed his halberd at the golem’s shoulder only to be shocked when his attack only created a shallow wound.
The golem expressionlessly counter-attacked, beheading the beast that Zhann used as a mount.
Zhann frowned. “My weapon should be able to cut you in a single swing. I did it earlier, but why can’t I now.”
That was when Zhann noticed there was a layer of black steel within the golem. “Rare materials… These golems are different from earlier.”
The cavalrymen fell off their mounts as the golems beheaded their mount’s head.
A man immediately stood up, about to attack, only to be faced against a pair of golems. His whole body was split in half along with his heavy armor.
Blood splashed everywhere.
Zhann’s face turned pale, but it quickly turned into rage. “To hell with all of you.”
He swung his halberd, beheading a golem, and then parried a pair of rare-grade weapons.
“Even their weapons are rare-grade… No wonder they are so powerful.”
A warrior only uses armor as external protection, but the golems use powerful materials as their whole body.
That was a completely different thing. The weight of each golem was incredible, and each strike was so heavy.
“I refuse to lose. We can still win!” Zhann shouted.
He activated his powerful life force, and slashed at the pair of golems.
But soon after, 4 golems threw themselves at him, and cut both of his arms.
“Ahh! My Arms! Bastard!” Zhann ran forward and head butted the golem. One golem was knocked away, but two came from the side, and impaled his body.
Zhann bit the blade with his teeth, snapping it, and then he pounced on the golem, biting its neck.
“This dude is crazy,” Aldred said.
The golems swarmed him from all directions, stabbing and slashing at his body until he died.
When the cavalry started to lose, the magicians started to prepare for an escape.
Suddenly, the gunner golems attacked with numerous fire bullets, but the old magicians quickly waved his hand, and blocked all the bullets.
“Archers, take care of them.”
Arrows shot towards the golems, blasting their chest, and just like before, it failed to regenerate.
But even with that damage, the golems still moved forward without any problem.
“Shit! Aim at their legs!”
Just as another volley of arrows were being released, the fighter golems blocked the arrows, and only a shallow wound appeared on their body.
“We cannot win this battle. Retreat!”
The magicians and archers turned their mounts around and fled the battlefield.
Aldred smiled. “Don’t let them run away. That Red Rain spell is very interesting. I would like to learn that from them.
The artillery golems started bombarding the fleeing. The magicians tried really hard to protect themselves, but the combination of explosions and bullet shells depleted their mana quickly.
Soon after, their magical barrier shattered, and one golem shell arrived within their ranks before wounding them badly.
The fighter golems immediately captured them. “Surrender and you will not be killed,” Aldred’s voice came out of the golems.
“We surrender, we surrender.” .𝒎
Unlike the bugbear warriors, the magicians were too smart to refuse surrender. They weren’t as prideful as well, so they obeyed whatever Aldred said.
