The opponent, Emperor, was not without any resistance to the vanguard of the undead army that was soaringly advancing like a man who entered the unmanned realm. In nearly half a year of preparation, Emperor, not only built this line of defense, but also created a batch of equipment that matched this line of defense.

The emperors and soldiers moved quickly without any obstacles through a network of traffic formed by trenches. They appeared on the flanks of the Ghost Scorpion Mantis. Then they used muskets and heavy crossbows to attack the Ghost Scorpion Mantis - of course, these attacks were nothing to the Ghost Scorpion Mantis. After the musket projectiles, the arrows and crossbows were shot on its black iron shell with magic runes, they either bounced open or broke. They could not produce any lethality to the Ghost Scorpion Mantis.

These Emperors and* soldiers who were exposed will be attacked violently by the ghosts, scorpion mantis in the next moment, and will be bombarded into scum.

However, not all attacks are invalid. The small cannons that the Emperor appropriately set up in some locations, especially those special artillery that can fire a large amount of ammunition and cause sufficient damage - the Hellstorm Cannon and the Hells Rocket Launch, can cause certain damage to the ghost scorpion mantis.

At the same time, a large number of imperial combat mages who usually seem very noble and fearless, fighting on the front line like crazy people. They gave up most useless defensive magic, either enchanted the shells, or simply went barefoot to fight with attack magic.

Although in this case, if a little noise is made, the battle mages will be beaten into scum by the ghost scorpion mantis, the battle mages seem to have no complaints about this. At the same time, a large number of combat priests who shouted the name "Sigma!" were also fighting bravely on the front line. In contrast to the combat mages who completely gave up defense, these Sigma combat priests were equipped with extremely heavy, five millimeters thick superheavy plate armor. This is very inconsistent with these combat priests who advocate bravery and do not like to use protective methods.

But there is nothing we can do about it. After all, their enemies are so powerful. If they are not prepared for many defense props that exceed the normal level, they will be killed by storm-like bullets before they rush to the front of the opponent.

Of course, even such a heavy, super-heavy full-body plate armor still has very low defense against the burning oil pillars and magic flames. Emperor* has no control at all, and assists with magic defense methods on such a thick plate armor. In fact, these combat priests don't care about that.

After repeated defeats, the combat priests summarized their experience against the enemy with the new undead army. They believed that the opponent's flames and magic fireballs were indeed powerful. However, their coverage area, shooting speed and range were not very satisfactory. The one who killed the most soldiers at a long distance was the opponent's heavy machine gun.

Faced with this new and amazingly lethal gunpowder weapon, traditional plate armor is completely useless. Even magical equipment that has been reinforced and enchanted and defended will soon consume the magic power under the opponent's airtight firepower. A piece of magical equipment that has exhausted magic power is usually inferior to ordinary standard equipment.

What's more, without an industrial production system like Sylvania, without mining equipment and metallurgical equipment driven by excellent steam engines, and without standard operating assembly line production technology like Sylvania, the Emperor could not mass produce magic equipment, and naturally he could not use magic equipment as military standard equipment to fight.

However, in contrast, Emperor* realized a better way to replace it - super heavy plate armor weighing more than 65 kilograms and thickness exceeding five millimeters after hardening, to a certain extent, it is enough to withstand the opponent's machine gun shooting. This technology is mastered by Emperor*.

This armor is usually distributed to non-human, super-large units serving in the Imperial **—such as a large number of ogre mercenaries and a small number of giants. This time, after miniaturization, this armor was distributed to the only human soldier in the Imperial ** who had enough strength to equip this super-heavy armor—that is, the combat priests of Sigma.

In this way, the Duke of Cruise of Hock organized about two companies, and nearly three hundred Sigma's combat priests launched a charge in a loose array. They charged wildly in the rain of bullets poured by the ghost scorpion mantis.

In Valed's opinion, this kind of charge was very strange. He even had a kind of tactical action, which captured all these idiots alive, and taught them a lesson, and told them how to complete the tactical action of alternate cover and crawling forward. However, Valed thought about the fact that during World War I, Germany did launch a strange type of troops like the Storm Assault Soldier in order to deal with the situation, so he felt relieved. Although the tactical components of the two were very different, in terms of effect, these guys could barely pass the exam.

Although there were many Sigma combat priests who finally rushed to the front of the ghost scorpion mantis with their heavy armor, more combat priests were still killed.

After realizing that shooting the opponent's chest and limbs was not a good idea, the ghost scorpion mantis immediately changed his tactics, raised his muzzle slightly, and then aimed at the bald heads of the combat priests, and then fired, and knocked the bald heads, which were shining with the blessing of Sigma's divine power, into rotten watermelons, which were as conspicuous as light bulbs in the dark.

With the shooting of the ghost scorpion mantis, the heads of the combat priests burst one by one with a "bang" and "bang". The smelly, half-cooked brain and blood were thrown all over the floor, and the debris of the skulls and scalp, flesh, tongue, teeth, and facial features were everywhere. Under the action of inertia, the combat priests suddenly leaned back as if they were hit by a hammer, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Nearly 300 Sigma combat priests, after a round of charge, only more than a hundred people rushed to the front of the Ghost Scorpion Mantis. Under the extremely flexible offensive of the Ghost Scorpion Mantis and the machine gun shooting with better hit rate at close range, this group of Sigma combat priests who were highly anticipated finally destroyed five Ghost Scorpion Mantis and were wiped out.

This was only a moment, and the army of ghosts, scorpion mantis was almost unhindered. It can be said that the most devout warriors of this group of God Emperor died unjustly.

It was also while this group of combat priests launched the charge that the rest of the Emperor and the others used the methods used by the Ghost Scorpion Mantis were constantly staged:

A group of imperial grenades that are usually very rare. These brave enough soldiers equipped with dangerous weapons such as grenades can give the ghost scorpion mantis enough lethality.

The throwing grenades equipped by these soldiers are completely different from the wooden handle grenades that are well-known in space and time, not to mention the more advanced fragmented grenade. This simple and primitive grenade is completely round. It is stuffed with iron sand, iron filings and broken iron sheets, iron nails and sufficient dose of gunpowder. By igniting the fuses on the spherical surface, then throwing them to kill the enemy.

Due to process problems and technical problems, grenades in this era often fail. Sometimes the fuses are not burned and they explode and kill their own people. Sometimes they are thrown away but cannot explode. In short, it is a very troublesome thing. Therefore, although the lethality of this equipment is not weak and the production process is simple, there is no large-scale equipment in the imperial ***. Even the various dukes and nobles of the empire did not organize a built-in grenadier unit.

However, with the large-scale use of trenches, the impact of the ghost scorpion mantle used by the undead troops brought to Emperor **, this simple and primitive explosive weapon was re-joined into Emperor **'s battle sequence.

And together with these dangerous explosives, there is another thing that was once ridiculed by the Imperialists as "only Skiev's country bumpkins can use", that is, glass wine bottles filled with tinder oil, alcohol, and other small amounts of ignition additives. These unique Skievs are sometimes drunk by soldiers who are addicted to alcohol, and then produce non-combat reductions. They are called "cocktails" mobilizers, called "cocktails" in this war, were also used as emergency weapons to join the Imperial's equipment sequence.

Facts have proved that this equipment has excellent lethality for the ghost scorpion mantle - although it has oil sprayed hoses in the mouthpiece and nearby armor parts, this makes the internal structure of the ghost scorpion mantle excellent fire resistance. However, the high temperature generated by the molten bottle can still effectively burn the ghost scorpion mantle's black iron shell.

After several failed battles, Emperor ** found the easiest and perhaps the most effective tactic to deal with the ghost scorpion mantle. They first used a burning bomb to burn the ghost scorpion mantle's shell, and then when the ghost scorpion mantle's shell softened and deformed, they used grenades to blow it through, and then repeated the above action. Finally, they destroyed the ghost scorpion mantle.

Of course, tactics like this take a very long time. Often, a ghost scorpion mantis is full of fire and looks crazy, and can still howl wildly on the imperial position for an hour or two. Then he falls down in dejection. At the same time, the success rate is not very high - to accurately throw ammunition onto the opponent's shell, accuracy and arm strength are required to cooperate at the same time. There is no grenade configuration, and among the imperial ** who have only conducted a small amount of training in half a year, there are not many people with such ability.
