Chapter 289 Dwarf Golem and Infernal Hound (15/15)

In the western border, on a thousand-mile plain.

"Kill! For the sake of His Majesty the God!"

"Kill all these monsters, leaving no one behind!"

"Ow—"

"For the Lord of Darkness, kill these weak invaders and offer their heads to my Lord!"

A huge and endless group of dwarf heavy-armored warriors were fighting with a group of monster warriors. The two sides fought fiercely, and the blood dyed the entire plain red, and corpses piled up like mountains.

Unlike the mixed stoneman army in the North, this dwarf army is of higher purity, with a very high proportion of elite dwarves in it, so its combat effectiveness is also very strong. Moreover, as a tribe of dwarves who are good at forging, their equipment is also more sophisticated, which is not comparable to those of the stoneman warriors.

The dwarf heavy warriors, wearing heavy armor and holding huge war hammers, stood on the battlefield like condensed steel giants. Every swing of their hammers could knock the monster warriors away, but soon those monster warriors with tenacious vitality would rush up again.

If the northern land, which is rich in mineral resources but has a harsh environment, is the base camp of the metal giants, then the western land, with its fertile land and abundant grass and water, is the hunting ground of the hellhounds.

The western plains are filled with the nests of various ferocious beasts, some of which are even ancient species that are extremely dangerous.

But the Hellhound Demon needs this kind of danger.

They live here together with many monster races in the empire, reproducing and growing according to their own laws of survival.

Eventually, a solid barrier was formed to protect the empire.

The dwarf army invading from the west is indeed elite, and they have many props to use, so their combat effectiveness is very strong.

However, the enemy they faced was a legion of fallen monsters known for their brutality in the Eternal Night Empire.

"Ow—"

Roaring angrily, the tall barbarian warrior ripped off the head of the dwarf warrior in front of him with great brutality. Blood gushed out, dyeing the barbarian warrior's face red, making it look even more hideous.

The right hand opened and the claws swept across.

Cold light flashes.

The dwarf warrior in front of him fell back like straw.

The claws that are as hard as those of epic weapons, coupled with the outrageous physical strength, make the improved version of the gold-level heavy armor on the dwarf warrior as fragile as a piece of paper.

He clenched his left fist, gathered strength and punched out, hitting a dwarf centurion in the chest. The heavy armor on his body was immediately dented, and the bones inside were instantly broken. A big bump appeared behind him, and then the whole person flew backwards, knocking down several dwarf warriors before stopping.

One by one, the dark jackal warriors roared and rushed forward to fight with the dwarf warriors.

Swah——

He swung the long sword in his hand, and a cold light flashed. The dwarf warrior on the opposite side felt his body suddenly lighten, and then he saw a headless corpse, spurting blood.

The flying head slowly landed on the ground with the helmet.

The dwarf warriors are well-equipped, but that is only relative to player forces of the same level.

As early as the beginning of its promotion, the Eternal Night Empire had already developed weapons with growth characteristics, which could grow together with the Eternal Night warriors.

And after hundreds of years of accumulation.

Nowadays, most of the Eternal Night Warriors in the regular legions of the Eternal Night Empire have at least one set of epic equipment.

Compared with them, the improved gold-level equipment held by the dwarf warriors seems a little inferior.

The scene unfolding on the battlefield in the western border can be described as a one-sided massacre.

Compared to the relatively honest and simple metal giants, the Hellhounds and other monster races in the western territory are more violent. The people here can be said to be all soldiers.

When they reach a certain age, even young children will be sent to the hunting ground to participate in the bloody selection and grow into a qualified warrior.

This is true for his own people, let alone his servants.

Therefore, they can mobilize far more soldiers than the North in a short period of time.

The warriors are stronger and more numerous. Except for a slight difference in organization and order, the monster army can almost be said to have suppressed the dwarf army in all aspects.

"Damn it! Damn it! How can he be so powerful!?"

The commander of the dwarf army couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when looking at the situation on the battlefield.

"Armored Puppet Army, attack and crush them!"

The dwarf commander, unable to bear it any longer, immediately revealed a trump card.

One by one, armored puppets, more than three meters tall and emitting dark golden light all over their bodies, slowly advanced forward at the command of the dwarf commander.

This is the most powerful "weapon" created by tens of thousands of researchers from the Dwarf Empire.

Large puppet warriors are puppets in a semi-biological state. They do not require precise control from others. They can fight on their own and have very strong combat power.

The materials used to forge them are at least of epic grade, and their energy cores are also the crystal cores of seventh-level monsters.

Just looking at the data on paper without considering other things, they are even stronger than normal seventh-level warriors.

Swah——

"Destroy the enemy!"

"For the sake of His Majesty the God, kill all enemies!"

The puppet warrior's eyes flashed red, and with a dull sound, he swung his giant sword and cut the orc servant warrior who was blocking the way in front of him into two pieces.

The orc warrior with tenacious vitality had a hideous face and his upper body fell down. He looked at the puppet warrior unwillingly. He wanted to get up and fight again, but in the end he could only close his eyes helplessly.

The hot blood sprayed onto the puppet warrior, covering his metal body with a layer of bright red dye.

“Kill! Kill!”

"For the sake of His Majesty the Gods!"

The puppet warrior's mood did not change at all. He continued to make dull sounds and advanced forward, swinging his giant sword continuously, killing the enemies that attacked one after another.

This is a veritable killing machine.

As a legion close to the seventh level, the Puppet Legion's comprehensive combat power has reached the peak below the high-level legions.

Therefore, even though these orc servant warriors were not weak in strength, they were unable to withstand the attack at this moment.

Above the sky, the dwarf god Albert, who was watching the battle, relaxed his brows slightly and showed a smug look on his face after seeing the performance of the puppet warriors.

Before this, although the Puppet Legion was not weak, it was equivalent to a legion of sixth-level guards, and the cost-effectiveness was not very good.

After all, the cost of refining a puppet warrior can completely forge three sets of epic equipment. Three sets of epic equipment can be exchanged for a sixth-level guard-level warrior.

It's a huge loss.

However, this situation changed after obtaining some technologies from the ruins of the gods.

Not only did the cost drop by 20%, but the combat effectiveness of the refined puppet warriors also increased significantly, rising to a whole new level, reaching the level of a sixth-order epic legion.

With the excellent defense they got by spending money on, they can even fight against a real seventh-level legion.

"Although the defense strength of this border is beyond my expectations, if this is the only option, then we should give up the city." Albert said with a sneer as he looked at the illusory figure opposite him.

The dark figure stood there with indifferent eyes, saying nothing, and seemed to be uninterested in anything.

"Interesting, really interesting! I didn't expect that there are other forces that have also created puppet armies. However... a few dead things want to fight against our elite troops, which is too contemptuous."

Looking at the puppet warriors who were launching a fierce attack on the front line and killing people wantonly, the monster commander Bray had a cold light in his eyes, and immediately issued an order to mobilize the legion: "Let the Second Dog Demon Legion go all out, use the Purgatory Mode, don't hold back, burn these puppets into scrap metal!"

In an instant, the battle line shifted, and under the leadership of the legion commander, the Second Dog Demon Legion rushed towards the puppet legion of the dwarf army.

"Roar--"

"Kill, kill, kill!!!"

"They are just a bunch of puppets. They all have to die!"

As they moved forward quickly, the dog demon warriors roared and black flames ignited on their bodies, quickly covering their entire bodies. At this moment, the dog demon warriors looked like hellhounds from the abyss, exuding an ominous aura.

This strange fire exuded a terrifying aura from the abyss, making the other servant warriors nearby feel a little panic.

"Die!" The long sword in his hand was raised high, with black flames attached to it, and as the dog demon warrior's arm fell, he chopped at him.

Swah——

"kill"

The long knife collided with the giant sword, and then the flame passed through the giant sword, forming a dark slash that cut through the body of the puppet warrior, splitting its hard body directly in half.

bang——

A dog demon centurion roared, and the black flames on his long sword shrank and returned to the blade, forming an extreme black light.

The long sword swung and cut off the giant shield raised by the puppet warrior. The dog demon warrior chopped frantically, the sword flashing, but in a short while, the puppet warrior in front of him turned into a pile of scattered parts.

"For the gods. Uh."

The head with red eyes was still shouting, but the dog demon warrior stepped forward and stepped on it, instantly silencing it.

"How can a mere dead thing resist us?"

The dog demon warrior gathered his strength and punched the puppet warrior in the chest, piercing it completely. The terrifying black flames poured into it, and the puppet's body expanded rapidly. Immediately afterwards, an explosion sounded, and the tall puppet warrior was directly turned into pieces on the ground.

The combat effectiveness of the Dog Demon Legion in Purgatory Mode is no different from that of a real seventh-level legion.

In terms of various physical indicators, they are no weaker than the puppet army, and even have an advantage in some aspects.

And if we compare the overall strength, the puppet army is even more defeated. After all, no matter what, puppets are just dead things. Their combat experience and combat skills are far inferior to those of real creatures of the same level.

This is also the reason why the Eternal Night Empire developed semi-biological puppets earlier, but only used them for work and did not form a combat legion.

Not cost-effective, very not cost-effective.

The growth ceiling of puppet warriors is too low.

It's fine for dangerous work, but it would be a waste to use it in combat.

The price is not high.

The cost of forming a puppet legion is enough for the empire to train more legions of the same level.

Of course, the Dwarf Empire understands this truth, but they have no other choice. Unlike the Eternal Night Empire, which can easily form a sixth-tier legion, although the Dwarf Empire also has the capital to form a sixth-tier legion, it is far from being casual.

In comparison, it is more cost-effective to spend huge amounts of money to refine puppet warriors and form a puppet combat corps.

After all, to be honest, in a one-on-one situation, there are not many elite troops in the Dwarf Empire who can defeat the Puppet Legion.

However, now the disadvantages of their use of puppet legions have emerged.

When encountering an elite legion with similar hardware qualities, and the puppet warriors' own advantages cannot be brought into play, a one-sided situation can easily occur.

The army of hellhounds almost crushed the puppet army of the dwarf army.

The situation on the entire battlefield changed again. The monster coalition led by the dog demon clan launched a siege on the dwarf army.

One by one, the dwarf warriors fell, blood flowed like a river, and the blood dyed the entire grassland red.

Not only on this battlefield, the situation on other battlefields in the western border is almost the same.

If the monster tribes in the northern land were passive counterattacks, then the western land was active attacks.

They obeyed the orders of their lords, formed their own monster armies, and either followed the regular army to attack or sought out and hunted their targets on their own.

Even if the dwarf army sent here by the Dwarf Empire was more elite, it would be of no avail. Both the rulers and the servant tribes here were too powerful.

As for the people?

It's so funny. There are no real people in the Eternal Night Empire.

The extraordinary world for all people that Su Xingyu had envisioned has now been completely realized.

Moreover, he went one step further than what Su Xingyu had imagined, reaching the middle level of the National Transcendent.

The highly concentrated spiritual environment, ultra-low-priced cultivation potions, the extraordinary path open to all citizens of the empire, the faith feedback of the dark gods, and the mandatory cultivation courses, etc., even if they do not practice specifically, after adulthood, the people of the Eternal Night Empire can still easily cross the threshold of the intermediate level of the extraordinary.

The mid-level extraordinary ones can already serve as auxiliary soldiers in some believer forces.

In the Western Territory dominated by the Dog Demon Clan, the people's fighting power is even more explosive.

Therefore, the current situation has evolved. Before the Eternal Night Empire could really make a move, the invading dwarf army was surrounded and killed by the local legions, and suffered heavy losses for a time.

This creates a very embarrassing situation.

It was obvious that the troops sent by the dwarf army were of the highest purity and the strongest, but their record was the worst.

Not only did it not cause any major casualties, it also suffered heavy losses itself.

Even for the huge Dwarf Empire, these nearly one million troops are not very important. If they are gone, they are gone. At worst, they can just recruit another batch. But the Dwarf gods have lost face.
