Hilulele's sudden attack didn't surprise Chris.
He calmly commanded his army, which split into two wings to encircle the enemy, while magic golems charged head-on, and alchemical cannons charged up.
It was a simple, brutal style of warfare, but it was always effective.
According to Chris's calculations, even if the Elven Kingdom's powerhouses intervened after this first wave of attack, they would suffer heavy losses.
Then, as the army fell into disarray, the Speechless Legion and the Monster Legion would move in to harvest, bringing the war into garbage time.
This would both showcase these two new trump cards, serving as a warning to others, and prevent these two legions from sustaining too many losses.
He would perfectly complete his war mission, and the rest would be waiting for the Elven Kingdom to cede territory and pay reparations.
Perhaps Chris could even receive a few Elf slaves as a reward.
In human kingdoms, Elves were quite a hot commodity, but unfortunately, due to the Elven Kingdom's protectiveness, there were few Elves scattered outside.
All in all, in Chris's eyes, this battle was already a foregone conclusion.
Even in the eyes of various nations, who were remotely observing with magical vision, it was the same.
But everything didn't seem to go as smoothly as Chris imagined... He had just adjusted his army formation and hadn't even had time to deploy when he looked up and saw all the Elf Soldiers retreating.
In the sunlight, a large number of shimmering, even somewhat blinding, Iron Golems took the front line, unlike Doragon's magic golems, which were massive and ferocious.
They were blocky and a bit clumsy.
But for Chris, it was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.
"Damn it! The Elven Kingdom also has magic golem technology? Has there been a traitor in the Empire?"
Chris's face was extremely grim.
Even if these magic golems looked clumsy and crude, and they weren't as numerous as their own.
But these were magic golems, one of the technological foundations that allowed Doragon to become an armed empire!
It was precisely because of the emergence of magic golems that Doragon was able to embark on the advanced path of unmanned warfare.
No wonder the Elven Kingdom seemed so confident... The good news was that the Elven Kingdom had exposed its magic golem technology too recently, otherwise, with this technology alone, the Demi-human Alliance, the Rukania Kingdom, and the Trien Federation would all come to support them.
For them, this was an opportunity to defeat Doragon.
A fierce glint flashed in Chris's eyes.
"The Elven Kingdom will never be allowed to possess magic golem technology!"
"Alchemical cannons, aim behind the Elven Kingdom's magic golems and fire at full power!"
One shot from an alchemical cannon would burn dozens of top-grade magic crystals, just to hit lifeless magic golems?
It was a pure loss!
Brilliant magic light beams tore through space, striking towards the Elf army like a divine punishment.
But Hilulele and the others had seen all this clearly; colorful magic spewed from the tips of the elders' staffs, forming a semicircular magic array in the sky.
It swayed precariously, emitting a grating sound of disintegration, but in the end, the dozens of magic torrents from the alchemical cannons were still blocked.
The magic array, however, was covered in seven-colored cracks, appearing somewhat dim and unstable.
Chris's face was gloomy.
"Damn old geezers... Let's see how many times you can withstand this!"
Although their top-grade magic crystals couldn't be wasted indefinitely, Chris believed even more that the Elven Kingdom's elders couldn't sustain their magic for long!
But at this moment, Chris distantly saw a strange smile on Hilulele's face.
The smile was clearly adorable, but it inexplicably sent a shiver down his spine... "You've fallen for it."
He watched as a portion of the scattered magic torrents exploded on the Iron Golems, instantly turning many of them back into iron ingots.
Those Iron Golems, which had been silent and still before, now raised their heads, their crimson, ridiculous dot-eyes fixed on the Doragon army.
Hilulele wished she could put her hands on her hips and laugh out loud.
"The mechanism is activated."
Su Lin leisurely lit a candle and remotely saluted Doragon.
"Farewell."
Neutral creatures, Iron Golems. If Doragon didn't attack them, there would be no problem.
But once attacked, they should expect to receive the Iron Golems' deliberate punches.
"Your Majesty, we can proceed."
Lop's face was also beaming with a confident smile, and Hilulele waved her small hand.
"MC Dungeon First Exploration Team! Move out!"
"I want Doragon's proud army to be completely buried here, to fertilize the growth of the Verdan Eternal Forest!"
Hilulele had many easier and more cunning ways to deal with Doragon's army. Relying on the MC Dungeon, Hilulele was omnipotent.
But she insisted on using only ten thousand people, using Doragon's usual violent methods, to openly and grandly defeat them utterly.
Hilulele wanted to use this war to proclaim the greatness of the Elven Kingdom.
Hilulele wanted to use this war to completely break Doragon's backbone!
As they ran, the ground trembled, and the Iron Golem army, stirring up dust, made Chris's face turn extremely ugly.
These Iron Golems seemed much stronger than he had imagined.
"Magic Golem army, move out! Other legions, provide support! Annihilate all these inferior golems for me!"
"Yes, General!"
No matter where the Elven Kingdom's Iron Golems came from, Chris was still confident that Doragon's magic golems were the strongest alchemical technology!
This confidence vanished the moment the Iron Golems and magic golems collided head-on.
Chris's highly anticipated magic golem legion began to drop gold coins the moment they clashed head-on with the Iron Golems.
The Iron Golems still charged forward relentlessly.
"Bang!"
As a Lv57 Crusader Knight was smashed into a bloody mist by an Iron Golem, Chris was utterly heartbroken.
"Impossible! This is impossible!!!"
"Damn Elven Kingdom! How can you have such terrifying magic golem manufacturing technology! Damn it! Aren't you the ones most resistant to magic alchemy?!"
Chris's eyes were bloodshot.
The Iron Golems were like tigers descending from the mountains to attack a flock of sheep; wherever they went, any professional caught or brushed by them almost without exception met their demise.
Those who were simply and cleanly smashed to death were lucky, at least they didn't suffer much.
But those professionals and soldiers who were merely affected... either their arms instantly disappeared, or their legs flew off directly.
After falling to the ground in disarray, they barely let out a few wails before being trampled into a bloody mess by the passing Iron Golems.
The pungent smell of blood, along with the increasingly sticky and overflowing dismembered limbs on the ground, turned Doragon's army formation into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"This is... this is a devil!"
"Bastard! Disrupting morale! Death penalty!"
Chris furiously slashed out with his blade, shredding the soldier who was disrupting morale and an Iron Golem.
"No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! Officers of each legion, reorganize your ranks and kill them for me!"
But more Iron Golems were still continuously rushing towards Doragon's side.
The magic golem army was annihilated at a visible speed, their parts rolling on the ground, covered in flesh and blood.
"Damn Elven Kingdom! What have you done!!!"
It wasn't until Doragon's organized counterattacks were ruthlessly crushed by the Iron Golems again and again that Chris painfully accepted reality.
Wrong!
Completely wrong!
The strength of these Iron Golems was far, far superior to that of the magic golems!
Their magic resistance was extremely high, and their defense and attack power were no weaker than warriors above Lv70!
This wasn't a group of magic golems charging the formation; it was clearly a group of high-level professional suicide squads launching a massacre against Doragon!
The most crucial thing was... these things couldn't be killed no matter how many times they were struck!
At first, he only saw over a thousand of them, and in the chaos of battle, they had killed at least five or six hundred.
But the number of Iron Golems not only didn't decrease but was rapidly increasing!
Could it be that those damned Elves could make magic golems while fighting a war?
... "Your Majesty, the new batch of iron blocks has arrived."
"Send them over, continue to replenish the Iron Golem army!"
"Yes!"
Chris guessed correctly.
The Elven Kingdom was indeed making Iron Golems while fighting a war.
The only task of the ten thousand soldiers brought for this expedition was now to synthesize... Watching Doragon's army formation, which had completely fallen into chaos, Hilulele was filled with heroic spirit.
"In this battle, I will annihilate Doragon's army without losing a single soldier!"
"Your Majesty is brilliant!"
Many elders smiled broadly and flattered her. They didn't think Hilulele was exaggerating.
Given the current situation, it was estimated that even if all Doragon's people died, they wouldn't be able to reach the Elven Kingdom's side.
The key was that they still had many trump cards they hadn't used yet; this battle was unexpectedly easy.
Lop looked at Su Lin with emotion, saying that, in the end, it was truly thanks to Su Lin that the Elven Kingdom was the first to make contact... "Mr. Su Lin, thank you very much for your help to the Elven Kingdom! We never imagined that war could be fought like this..."
"How about it, have you experienced how satisfying Doragon's unmanned warfare is?"
"Previously, as victims of unmanned warfare, we only felt that magic golems were a disaster for the world, but now..."
Lop pursed his lips and said righteously:
"I believe that unmanned warfare is the future mainstream of war on the Aetheram Continent! Magic golems are also a technology that benefits the world!"
Similarly, the MC Dungeon and Su Lin were also the lifeline for the Elven Kingdom's renewed greatness... Lop didn't forget that behind such battle results, they had only explored the MC Dungeon with Su Lin for a few days.
They had only explored a mere three floors of the MC Dungeon with Su Lin... Looking at the hellish battlefield, Beixi smiled with relief.
"I would call the Iron Golems the peace ambassadors of the Elven Kingdom! They are the best medicine for the ultimate healing of the world!"
This perfectly matched Beixi's ambition for healing magic.
Su Lin felt that if the Iron Golems had intelligence, they could definitely become best friends with Beixi.
"Su Lin..."
Aelita gently tugged at Su Lin's sleeve, her face full of anticipation.
"Seriously, why don't you consider my suggestion? Let me go to Doragon's side and summon Wither; this war will end faster. Don't worry, with the Ender Pearl for teleportation, I..."
Su Lin didn't need to say anything, and even Beixi didn't give Aelita a chance to finish speaking.
This was, after all, the Verdan Eternal Forest. If Wither was summoned, they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
If the war were to be fought on Doragon's home turf, Beixi would absolutely fully support Aelita's bold idea.
At this moment, a group of Elf guards excitedly ran over.
"Your Majesty, the Redstone Cannons have been completed!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces lit up, and they quickly followed the Elf guards to where the Redstone Cannons were located.
Nearly a hundred Redstone Cannons were neatly arranged.
But... "So ugly, so crude. Is this thing really as miraculous as they say?"
This was Aelita's first time seeing a Redstone Cannon. Honestly, its appearance was a bit of a letdown for the Elf Race's aesthetics.
But Beixi had personally witnessed the power of this behemoth; it was her dream cannon, and she would not allow anyone to underestimate it!
"Trust me, Aelita, this is the true, undeniable explosion magic!"
With that, Beixi eagerly pushed aside the soldiers behind the Redstone Cannon and pulled out a lever.
"Are the direction and position all calibrated?"
The soldier quickly nodded.
"All calibrated. The landing points are all in Doragon's rear alchemical cannon positions."
"Good!"
A heroic spirit appeared on Beixi's aged face as she loaded TNT into the cannon.
"Doragon, it's time to let you witness true peace!"
"All listen up! One round of artillery fire!"
"Fire!!!"
