The Mammoth Knife Saint nodded and called over eighteen Yufrey butterfly people with a quick jog; these butterflies were the pilots and gunners of the chanical Gao Cen.
After the Seven-degree Gold Rings flashed, six tal Spiders plated with beautiful crystal armor appeared on the ground.
The back of each chanical Gao Cen had been newly fitted with two half-enclosed flathrower turrets, paired with giant cold-glimring mandibulate chainsaws, exuding an imposing and domineering presence.
"These chanical spiders are powered by gears, breaking through fortifications with unstoppable force, truly a divine power!" Liu Zhentian snapped his fingers, and under the control of the pilots, the six chanical Gao Cen swept down, their giant chainsaws furrowing six trenches into the stone floor, scattering debris like rain.
The surrounding Tangzang army stood frozen in shock, from inside to out.
Facing these over six-ter tall tal puppets, an ordinary warrior had to endure imnse psychological pressure!
"The Silk Continent had Goblin traders who arrived on airships long ago; this must be called Gao Cen, right? These were multifunctional automatons used by Goblin traders for logging, commuting, and self-defense, able to navigate mountains as if on flat ground. I’ve read relevant records in history books." The Fifth Prince was indeed erudite and talented, but unquestionably, he too was captivated by the exquisite tal puppets: "This is an excellent war puppet... truly comparable to the Chaidai Golden Man crafted by the Yun Qin alchemists of old!"
"Fifth Prince, if you use Chaidai Golden n against the chanical Gao Cen, wouldn’t that be like using a siege crossbow on a mosquito, a complete waste?" Liu Zhentian chuckled, "You actually don’t need to raise the combat capability of the chanical Gao Cen so highly. Even an ordinary human warrior can take down a chanical Gao Cen!"
"An ordinary human warrior can take down a Gao Cen? Your Majesty, you must be joking, you really overestimate us humans!" The Fifth Prince licked his lips, couldn’t help but giggle, "Heavy weapons like war hamrs can indeed damage the gears, but Gao Cen is as tall as a two-story building; even on stilts, a human warrior couldn’t reach it!"
"Your Highness, there’s no need to focus the attack on the Gao Cen itself, attacking the pilot would be just as effective!" Liu Zhentian pointed at the cockpit located between the tal Spider’s eyes.
The Gao Cen is a Goblin artifact, and the Goblin Clan is known for being timid and afraid of death, so the cockpit of the chanical Gao Cen is almost completely enclosed, with a strong emphasis on defense.
To ensure the pilot’s line of sight, the clever Goblin craftsn used specially designed dual-angled tal blinds for the cockpit’s viewing windows. This design resembles louvered windows; although the line of sight is slightly narrow, the defense is outstanding because the dual-angled blinds create a blind spot for attacks. To attack the pilot, you’d have to penetrate two thick tal blinds, each about a finger thick, first.
"Indeed, using a siege crossbow for a close-range attack, the Gao Cen pilot wouldn’t survive." The Fifth Prince observed the chanical Gao Cen silently for a while before comnting.
"A siege crossbow is too crude! If you want to deal with the Gao Cen pilot, there’s no better choice than a laser mirror cannon." Liu Zhentian unconsciously steered the Fifth Prince’s topic.
"What do you an by laser mirror cannon?"
"This thing." Liu Zhentian beckoned, and imdiately an Antelope Warrior ca over, handing him a crystal coffin-like mirror cannon. This was a newly made laser mirror cannon, a dual product of the San Jose "Laser Gem" and the Firenze "Teleportation Crystal."
Embedded beneath the main mirror of the cannon was a finely crushed laser gem that emitted a long red light beam, landing as a red dot.
Liu Zhentian aid the mirror cannon at the distant Blackbeard General.
The burly Tangzang General sat imposingly on a completely white Warhorse, proudly wielding a pair of quad-ridged steel maces.
The infrared sight stood still on the Blackbeard General’s brow; he glared at Liu Zhentian angrily from afar, unaware of Liu’s intentions, yet instinctively feeling threatened.
The infrared sight gradually slid down, trailing from the Blackbeard General’s chest to the right side of the saddle where a kite-shaped battle shield hung, embossed with a soaring eagle. The laser mirror cannon’s red dot drew a straight light bridge in the air, landing on the eagle’s belly on the shield.
The Warhorse neighed restlessly, prancing with high steps, trying to avoid the red dot that made it uneasy.
This was a divine breed known in the House Clan’s Horse Appraisal Technique as a "Snowfield Beacon" Thousand-Mile Horse, dazzling white save for a tuft of fla-red mane on its head.
The Tangzang Fifth Prince looked at Liu Zhentian curiously, unsure of his intentions.
"This mirror cannon emits a focused burning beam, with infrared precision ensuring a hit every ti. Within seven hundred yards, it has excellent penetration and burning effects on tal objects!" As Liu Zhentian spoke, he firmly pressed the turquoise button.
A muffled "buzz" followed as a thick red glow condensed on the crystal lens, following the original infrared sight to strike precisely on the shield hanging by the Blackbeard General’s saddle.
The prized "Snowfield Beacon" let out a tragic scream, lifting its hooves to rear up, crashing to the ground with a "thud," throwing the Blackbeard General at least five ters away from the saddle.
The general demonstrated substantial skill by landing steadily on the ground with a flip under such unexpected circumstances, earning quite a few cheers.
