Lava surges between Skull Mountains.
The sky was obscured by smoke.
Brass ornaments of various shapes were hung on the heads of the giant battle bodies.
Skarbrand and the other two bloodthirsty demons could sense that the Blood God's gaze had not moved away, indicating that there would be a bloody battle next, so they did not order the vampires to disband their formation, but continued to maintain it. phalanx.
"Those steels." Skarbrand was talking to two of his kind. "They have no blood and no emotions. Their only weakness is their overreliance on long-range weapons and artillery fire."
"It's good. At least they still have heads. The feeling of killing them is satisfying to me."
"You're so easily satisfied."
"..."
Skarbrand did not agree with his peers and turned around to look straight ahead.
It felt a trace of spatial fluctuation.
Then I saw a dimensional rift opening on the battlefield, and another Iron Man troop appeared.
It's just that these iron men are completely different from the previous batch. They are simply made for close combat. They do not carry any long-range weapons, only melee weapons.
Moreover, they no longer used hot weapon tactics as before, but also lined up in square formations one after another, and the generals among the iron men came to the front of the formation.
Skarbrand frowned, realizing that things were not going well, but he was not nervous, on the contrary, he felt very happy, because such an iron man was the one who could make the entire demon army fight happily.
"Skarbrand!"
The demon heard someone calling his name. It was not his real name, but the loudest and most terrifying one among thousands of names.
Skarbrand followed the sound and saw an Iron Man that was much stronger than himself.
Heat Death came to the front of the Iron Man Square, leaning on a big sword, raised his spear and pointed it directly at Skarbrand: "I will chop off your head and hang it on the spear!"
"I will chop you into eight hundred and eighty-eight pieces!" Skarbrand panted like an ox and roared fiercely facing the front.
The armies of both sides approached each other again.
At this time, a vampire ran to the skull trebuchet and tried to manually control the trebuchet to fire a few shots at the iron man on the opposite side. However, as soon as it started to do so, it was chopped into pieces by the ax thrown by Skarbrand.
"I want a fair bloody battle!" Skarbrand turned around, raised his ax, and roared at the demonic army behind him.
The demons in the demon army cheered and raised their weapons to respond to Skarbrand.
At this time, Iron Man's skull turned and moved on its own, gradually forming a throne.
There was nothing on the throne, but Skarbrand could feel the Blood God sitting on the skull throne staring at him, and cast a satisfied look because he wanted a fair bloody battle.
Then the ax named Murder thrown by Skarbrand levitated out of thin air and flew back to Skarbrand's hand. The ax was still attached to the ax which would not burn Skarbrand but was enough to melt steel instantly. of flame.
This sequence of events made Skarbrand feel ecstatic.
"For the Blood God!"
With Skarbrand's roar, the demonic army of Khorne marched forward.
"For the Iron Lord!"
Heat Death raised his sword and shouted, and each square formation of the Iron Man Army began to move forward.
The two sides quickly engaged in battle, with each Iron Man formation facing off against a Demon Army formation.
Until the second before the battle, Heat Death was still doubting whether the new iron man intelligently created by the mothership really had the ability to fight against the demon army of Khorne.
The next second there is no doubt about heat death.
Because in the past, Iron Man, who could not kill a few vampires even if he fired hot melt at the vampires until the weapon was overloaded, has now become extremely efficient.
Each Iron Man is much taller than the Vampire. They are pre-programmed for melee combat, and their movements are still clumsy, but the clumsiness is only because the mothership intelligence makes a trade-off between defense and agility.
The iron men in the front row of each square were slaughtering vampires like meat grinders.
Heat Death even saw a fellow Iron Man whose sword-holding forearm was cut off by a vampire, and then used the broken arm and another intact arm to smash the vampire into a pulp again and again. This was never done before. Unseen scenes.
But the demon army of Khorne was not driven back. They became more and more courageous as they fought, trying their best to maintain the stalemate and ensure that they would not be passive in less than half an hour after the battle began.
Skarbrand wielded his double ax and ran rampant in the iron man phalanx, killing countless iron men and then roared at his cavalry troops: "Swift attack on their flanks!"
This loud roar soon spread to the cavalry troops.
The new cavalry was led by a vampire riding a larger bronze bull. It immediately responded to the call of the demon and led the cavalry in a circuitous gallop on the plain. After making a large circle, it attacked the right wing of the iron man's army.
Heat Death was aware of this situation, and it only used a thought to transmit its orders to its fellow Ironmen.
Ten thousand iron men armed with spears and large shields separated from the right flank and blocked the cavalry's charge route.
The cavalry commander, the vampire, stepped on the back of the copper bull, roared and roared with his flaming sword, and charged at the leading position.
The cavalry quickly engaged the iron men who intercepted them.
Among the many iron men holding spears and shields, there is an iron man named "Thousand Captain", a specialized template model of the anti-terrorist demon army. Its height reaches five meters, and the layers of armor on its body wrap it up like an obstacle.
The observers on the captain's arms kept a close eye on the vampire leading the cavalry charge, and he looked for the right moment to stab him with a spear.
The Bronze Bull and the Vampire were pierced by the spear from bottom to top. It was the first to charge and was also the first to be exiled.
The subsequent group of cavalry clanged against the shields of the iron men. Each iron man's arm was like a piston and the spear was twitching at high speed. It took five seconds to quickly slaughter all the overwhelmed cavalry.
In previous battles, the Ironmen could only try to focus fire with long-range weapons within five seconds, and then were penetrated by the cavalry two seconds later.
Chapter 405 Evenly matched
"Data shows that our current combat efficiency has increased by 90% compared to before."
The Iron Man Mothership intelligently pays attention to every Iron Man. The data of these Iron Man who killed vampires, stabbed cavalry, or were hacked to death are gathered into a torrent, and then sent to the data processing station located in the dimensional space for analysis.
No matter how long the analysis takes, the Iron Man Mothership intelligence outside the dimensional space will receive the analysis results in an instant, because the time flow rate inside the dimensional space can change freely.
This can also be regarded as a new application method of the caster dimension.
"It's good if the efficiency is improved." Heat Death did not receive the analysis results, but as a microscopic individual in a war, it did not need to conduct analysis. It could only observe part of the battle situation and draw an imprecise and vague conclusion.
Seeing that his own battle line was stable, Heat Death could finally go to Skarbrand for a duel with peace of mind.
Skarbrand slashed the Iron Man straight towards the Heat Death.
Heat Death Slash Vampire rushes towards Skarbrand.
The two sides soon met each other, and at the moment when he saw the heat death, Skarbrand was in ecstasy.
It had been very annoyed before because these new iron men not only changed their fighting methods to gain an advantage, but also lost their heads.
A blood sacrifice to the Blood God requires a skull.
Although the Iron Man's skull is not naturally generated, it also integrates a series of functions such as observation, analysis, and thinking. It is similar to the head of a living thing. Dedicating it to the Blood God is definitely not as pleasing to the Blood God as dedicating the skull of a Space Marine or a human, but it is It can also be made do.
Now I can't even make do.
What depresses Skarbrand the most is not that Iron Man has become stronger and found the correct way to fight, but that he can't get any results by killing them.
The reason why Skarbrand was ecstatic after seeing Heat Death was because it discovered that Heat Death had a head.
The wings spread out, and the thick leg muscles tensed up to accumulate strength. In the next second, Skarbrand jumped into the air forty meters high, and then fell towards the heat death while raising his two axes to accumulate strength.
Heat Death stood there and looked at Skarbrand, who was about to behead him, without any reaction or movement, as if he was a dead man.
This did not make Skarbrand feel happy. The opponent's lack of reaction would only make the servants of the Blood God angry.
The big demon that fell to the ground roared and struck out with its double axe. When the ax struck out, it saw the flash of heat death and instantly moved two meters away. However, it was too late to withdraw its strength, and the double ax struck the ground.
The roar impacted the Iron Man's auditory module.
The entire surface of the demon world trembled due to Skarbrand's slashing.
The regional reality membrane within four hundred light years of the Dead Zone has been weakened to the point of being useless, but the curtain still exists fragilely. Skarbrand's strength after passing through the curtain and descending into the real universe is not as strong as 10% of what it was in the subspace. , but it is still a powerful entity called the Bloodthirsty Demon in the real universe.
Each Daemon of Khorne is far more powerful in melee combat than the Daemons of the other three gods.
But the problem is that this is still the real universe, not the subspace. Even if the reality membrane is weakened to the point where the demon can enter and exit at will, it is still the real universe.
Heat Death's body was huge but its movements were not affected at all. It flashed to the side of Skarbrand. It tried to slash with its big sword, but Skarbrand's reaction speed was beyond its expectation and it instantly turned around and struck with both axes. Flying sword.
The powerful power of the demon even caused Heat Death's body to react inertly. When the sword was knocked away, his upper body and arms turned to the other side.
This is the big devil's opportunity.
Skarbrand roared and rushed towards Heat Death, slashing at the left and right sides of Heat Death's neck with both axes.
Heat Death cannot react in time. Even though its processor performed more than a dozen calculations in less than a millisecond to try to find a solution, it only obtained a result that the body could not react quickly and there was an 87% probability of being decapitated.
But as the most special one among the Iron Men, the one the Iron Man Master is most proud of, Heat Death's body that can be abandoned and rebuilt at will has the highest shaping budget, that is, it is all forged with improved living metal.
At the moment when the twin axes were about to decapitate Heat Death, Skarbrand saw Iron Man's body dissipate, and then each atom re-anchored to new coordinates and reorganized.
Heat Death's body turned from facing Skarbrand from the side to facing directly, and its arms reorganized directly in front of Skarbrand's neck.
Skarbrand's neck was clasped by iron-like arms.
Even the big sword that was knocked away was broken down into atoms and reassembled five meters above Heat Death's body, while the spear, which was not easy to use in close combat, was thrown away by Heat Death.
Skarbrand could predict what would happen next, opening his bloody mouth and roaring at the heat death.
"Wow……"
呲——
The roar shattered Heat Death's hearing module, but at the same time as the first syllable emerged from the gap between the fangs, the sounds of flesh and blood being cut and fangs being crushed also sounded.
Skarbrand's mouth and spine were pierced by a large sword.
Heat Death caught the sword just as it was reorganizing above his head and falling, and inserted his backhand into Skarbrand's roaring mouth.
The battle came to an end in less than a second, not because of the disparity in strength between the two sides, but precisely because they were evenly matched.
There is no room for testing and finding loopholes again and again. Whoever can catch the opponent by surprise can win in an instant.
Skarbrand lost control of his body due to damage to his spine, and fell to his knees unable to do so. His body was held up by Heat Death's arms to keep him from lying on the ground.
The big devil's eyes gradually lost color, not because of sadness or regret of losing the battle, but because it saw the blood god's eyes turning away from him.
Skarbrand was once the favorite servant of the Blood God, constantly blessing it and even giving it a pair of axes. However, Skarbrand was so proud and arrogant because of his continuous victory in the war that he even took advantage of the Blood God. Don't be careful about swinging your ax at the Blood God.
This was definitely the most despicable and wrong thing Skarbrand had ever done, but it didn't mean swinging an ax at the Blood God, but a sneak attack.
After the sneak attack failed and was beaten away by the Blood God, and he flew in the subspace for several days and nights, Skarbrand reflected that if he did not launch a sneak attack but openly asked the Blood God to duel with him, then Skarbrand would The Blood God would probably be very happy to agree, and then easily defeat himself and bless himself again...
