Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: The Invincible Combat Puppet Legion Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141: The Invincible Combat Puppet Legion Breakers quickly flew out of the portal, forming orderly ranks silently in the night sky. Over thirty thousand Breakers appeared.
Li Yao's glabella flashed with a red light, and all the Breakers swiftly descended toward the camp below.
Even though it was the most exhausting time at dawn, with the Lord outside and having been on a mission before, although everyone had gone back to sleep, the patrolling soldiers had intensified their guards.
As the pollen-like secretions sprinkled down on the camp, they found it strange but didn't pay much attention.
But as Breakers began to fly down, finally a patrolling soldier heard the fluttering sound of wings. A searchlight illuminated the sky, nearly scaring the patroller to death.
He saw countless mantises, fast as lightning, swooping from the sky. He cried out, striking the alarm bell at once.
But the bell only sounded once before the soldier's arm was chopped off by a mantis, not even giving him time to scream.
The pollen-like secretions crazily burrowed into the guard's body through the wound.
The guard's cries stopped abruptly. He fell to the ground with a thud, but his alarm still alerted the other patrolling soldiers. However, masses of mantis Breakers were already swooping down in large numbers.
Although some patrolling soldiers fired their Double Barrel Shotguns and killed a few mantises, there were too many. In just a moment, wounds appeared on every one of the hundred patrolling soldiers in the camp. The dust secreted by the Parasites drilled into their bodies, and soldier after soldier collapsed to the ground as Parasites directly burrowed into their brains through their noses.
Ten seconds later, the first fallen soldier suddenly rose, his eyes flashing with a cold light, then he disappeared without a trace. He emotionlessly picked up his severed arm and pressed it back in place at the fracture. A horrifying scene occurred as visible granulation reconnected the severed arm. The arm was quickly whole again.
It was much the same with the other soldiers; various wounds on their bodies healed rapidly, reverting to normal in the blink of an eye. Soldier after soldier stood up, and soon all the patrollers had risen.
But they were no longer Dwarfs or Gnomes; in reality, they had been parasitized by Parasites in their souls. Those souls and Parasites had merged into one, altering their bodies, becoming half-human, half-insect entities, though nothing seemed amiss from their outward appearance.
But there was a cost: the consumption was too great, not just during production. After their fusion, they required a huge amount of energy units every month. If it weren't for a dire necessity, Li Yao wouldn't create such creatures; he regarded it as the most inferior method.
Moreover, although he controlled these Mechanics, they would never be able to advance again, and their strength would not improve.
However, this was the fastest way to resolve the battle at the current stage. Otherwise, the few thousand Battlemechas would have dealt a devastating blow to his Legion. After all, his Legion was already thoroughly outmatched by his opponent, and if they were hit by an Air Strike, the Vampires would probably be wiped out completely, which was more than just the loss of the air force.
Without the support of the air force, the ground troops would face total defeat.
The sound of alarms had already awoken all the Mechanics in the camp. They quickly grabbed pistols or Hunting rifles and rushed out of their barracks, heading for the Battlemecha airfield, where all their Battlemechas were stored.
In reality, without the Battlemechas, their combat effectiveness was almost negligible; they had devoted most of their expertise to engineering and Battlemechas. There was hardly any time left for personal combat.
Yet, with tens of thousands of Breakers against a few thousand Mechanics, they had more than enough to spare. Although there were some support soldiers, their combat strength wasn't significant and could only be considered logistical troops.
As they rushed out of the camp, the outcome was already sealed.
Breakers were ordered to sustain injuries before they were parasitized, an easy task for the mantises. If the wounds were continuously penetrated by an anesthetic dust, it was time for the parasites to come into play. Parasites lacked combat power, but they were designed to implant, devour and merge with the soul within the body.
At the same time, the action at the airport involved the hunters, who had also received their orders. Nearly a hundred thousand hunters had dispersed throughout the city's airspace, each confirming their target.
Obedient to the queen's orders, countless hunters dived down.
Their dive attacks were silent and abrupt, without even the sound of wings beating.
Like ghosts, hunters appeared behind the city's patrolling troops and the soldiers defending the walls, as streaks of blood flashed.
Many patrol soldiers fell in battle, and even more who controlled the mechanical beasts died.
But there were those who reacted quickly, and suddenly the sounds of flashing guns and the roars of mechanical beasts resounded throughout the city.
These soldiers were too elite. The revealed hunters were often killed with a single strike. A piercing alarm filled the entire city.
Outside the Combat Puppet Legion's camp, alarmed mechanics instantly summoned battlemechas amidst the alarms, without any chance for assassination.
This was why Li Yao felt helpless in this situation. The Combat Puppet unit numbered only fifteen thousand, but they were a legion far costlier and more terrifying than any troop of battlemechas. Though they were few in number, their combat prowess was beyond doubt, especially once the mechanical puppets were equipped with Gatling rocket launchers, they became the ace of solo combat.
The Gryphon Lord had a total of thirty thousand mechanical puppets in his forces, half of which he took with him.
Among the combat puppets, they were virtually invulnerable, making it impossible to injure, and thus, parasitize them. This is why Li Yao admitted that this was a difficult battle.
Outside the camp, tens of thousands of the Fire Poison Cockroach Army were already in formation, blocking off the area, and a fierce battle ensued.
Flame Poison Bombs were relentlessly fired, while the mechanical puppets returned with intense fire.
Amidst countless salvos of fire-snakes, even the Flame-Poison Mantises became vulnerable under the Gatling's barrage, their carapaces and limbs blasted away by the frenzied bullets, as cockroach after cockroach fell quickly.
Collet, who had intended to personally lead the battle on this front, clicked his tongue in awe. Although he also possessed a combat puppet, he had only one. If he were to charge in, he probably wouldn't know how he died.
Even the Black Dragon Queen would likely have to avoid the fray for a while, and the only one daring enough to charge forward was the Blade Queen.
The Blade Queen had initially flown into the fray, but a few dozen Gatling blasts and concentrated rocket cannon fire brought her crashing down from the sky, riddled with bullet holes.
But when she reached half health, the damage she suffered was shared with all the Worm Tribe present. The Blade Queen burrowed into the ground, only to emerge with thousands of Fire Poison Cockroach Corrosive Insects.
The Combat Puppet Legion, caught up in the thrill of battle, had not anticipated an enemy emerging from beneath them, and suddenly chaos ensued…
