Chapter 2555: Colossus in the cornfield

On July 29, the day after George Vassar repelled the envoy to surrender, all the soldiers of the Continental Army, including General Vassar himself, were ready to fight the enemy outside the city.
However, to the surprise of the defender, Earl Winthrop ordered Feizhen's army to suspend the siege and wait for the opportunity.
Out of confidentiality considerations, Earl Winthrop did not explain to his officers what "opportunity" meant. In fact, he was waiting for a siege weapon from Kaludon Island.
This time, the Feizhen army went south by boat. On the way, Earl Winthrop made a special detour to Caludon Island, met with the ally and parishioner Queen Huaia, and recruited 3000 hill giant mercenaries from the island to join the army. .
During the "Mineral Vein War" in 1622, Queen Huaiya once drove the flesh and blood colossus "Princess" to the front of Midgard, but unfortunately she was attacked before participating in the siege. The flesh and blood colossus was thrown from high altitude by the enemy spellcaster. "Destroyed, but fortunately saved the core golem.
After the war, Queen Huaiya returned to Kaludon Island and spent a lot of effort to reshape the core golem into a flesh and blood colossus.
The main purpose of Earl Winthrop's visit was to invite Queen Huaia to accompany him on an expedition to Midgard with a colossus of flesh and blood. With this mythical colossus, it will be easier to attack the city.
Queen Huaiya agreed to participate in the southward battle, but did not immediately board the ship for two main reasons.
First of all, the colossus of flesh and blood is too large and too heavy to accommodate the troop carrier.
What's more important is that Queen Huaiya is not ready yet, and the last and most important modification project of the Colossus of Flesh has not yet been completed.
At first, Queen Huaiya planned to host the modification project by herself. After trying it, she found that the result was not as expected, so she invited an enchanting expert called "Professor" through a friend to spend a lot of money, and asked the expert to help her realize the modification intention.
On the island, Queen Huaiya promised to the Governor that the modification would be completed at the end of July, when she would personally drive the colossus of flesh and blood directly to the front line of Midgard to participate in siege operations.
Of course, she has to say something first.
The teleportation function of the Colossus of Flesh and Flesh is not very accurate, and there is usually an error of 5 to 50 miles from the destination. This error is not a big problem. It will take half a day at most, and the Colossus of Flesh can walk from the teleportation point to the Feizhen Army. The front line.
Just this morning, Earl Winthrop cast a spell to contact Queen Huaia and learned that the Colossus of Flesh was about to be refitted and could be on the road tomorrow night at the latest.
In fact, with Governor Winthrop’s current strength, including the 20,000 Fibonacci army, 6,000 Asaite mercenaries from the Wali tribe, and 3,000 hill giant mercenaries from Kaludon Island, in the naval fleet With the cooperation of, even if the Colossus of Flesh is absent, he can still conquer Midgard City with confidence.
But Earl Winthrop didn't want to do that.
Although the Feizhen Army won the Battle of Gu Cangshan, the casualties far exceeded the Continental Army.
At that time, looking at the corpses of Feizhen soldiers in the mountains, especially when he learned that nearly a hundred officers had been sacrificed, Earl Winthrop was heartbroken, and he never wanted such a costly victory again.
If he attacked Midgard City and nearly 30,000 Continental Army troops in the city fought their backs against the trapped beasts, he had to worry that the tragedy of the Battle of Gu Cangshan would repeat itself.
Earl Winthrop didn't want to pay too many casualties. He would rather postpone the siege and wait another day, waiting for Queen Huai Ya to rush to the battlefield with the refitted "Colossus of Flesh and Flesh" and exchange the least cost for the greatest victory.
...
On the evening of July 30, in a cornfield about 40 miles west of Midgard, an unusually strong magical turbulence was suddenly set off, and a super-mass object was transmitted over immediately.
Accompanied by the turbulence of the magic net, a golden beam of light rose from the ground, straight through the sky, and within the glorious teleportation formation, slowly emerged a 60-foot-high humanoid colossus constructed of flesh and blood!
The farmer who was working in the field noticed a sudden storm and swept down a large piece of corn in an instant. He hurriedly climbed up the walnut tree beside the field and looked at the abnormal situation from a height.
At the first sight of the Colossus of Flesh, he yelled in fright and fell from a tree branch, slamming his eyes out of gold stars.
Holding the big bag swollen on his forehead, the farmer ran hurriedly to the nearby manor all the way in exclamation, breathlessly reporting to the housekeeper Mr. Heimdall that a huge monster appeared in the cornfield.
Heimdall confirmed that the news was true and immediately reported to the hostess Rebecca Castis.
At this time, Rebecca was eating dinner with her sister Martha, and when she heard that the colossus of flesh and blood had been sent to her own cornfield, the sisters couldn't take care of their meals, so she hurriedly performed investigations.
Through "Detecting the Crystal Ball", Sister Castis saw the hideous appearance of the flesh and blood colossus with her own eyes, but she only observed it for a short period of ten seconds, and then her vision became pitch black, and nothing was seen.
"what happened?"
Mrs. Martha panicked and slapped the crystal ball quickly, thinking that the magic weapon was malfunctioning.
"Martha, this is probably not the crystal ball problem, but the colossus opened the myth anti-magic field, shielding the detection magic from the outside world." Rebecca was still calm.
"What can I do... the colossus has arrived here, how are George and his troops defending the city?"
At the thought of the dangerous situation of her husband and the soldiers of the Continental Army, Madame Martha couldn't stop her tears.
"Martha, you quickly send a letter to brother-in-law and ask him to prepare two things...no, three things!"
Rebecca calmed down her sister as much as possible.
"First of all, if the colossus of flesh and blood is involved in the siege of the city, Midgard's fortifications will be useless. The brother-in-law must prepare a retreat route in advance to ensure that he leads his troops to the south before the city falls."
"Secondly, our army still has a chance to destroy the colossus, but there is not much time left for us. We must do it within two hours, otherwise we will have no chance when the flesh and blood colossus enters the enemy base camp!"
"Destroy the colossus?" Martha looked blank, "How can such a large structure be destroyed? Use a cannon?"
"Unfortunately, we don't have a cannon powerful enough to destroy the colossus." Rebecca smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, there are other ways to deal with the colossus-the method Qiao Ann invented in the 1622 Mineral Vein War."
Martha heard her husband talk about the war, and she also knew Qiao Ann's whimsical approach at the time. This sounds worth trying. The question is who will risk destroying the colossus of flesh and blood?
"Rebecca, Qiao'an is not an ordinary person. Others may not be able to do what he can do." Madame Martha asked her sister worriedly, "Do you think that in the army mage group under George's account... someone can do it? Did Qiao Ann play the original role?"
