Chapter 509: Western Expedition (11) Faith

The opportunity was fleeting, but the seasoned hunters could easily send the arrow into the heart of their prey, even if it was not by their eyes, but by their senses, and they could do it for a few seconds when the fireball was stalemate with the cold and wind brought by the blizzard.

The Scandinavian spellcasters have already begun to prepare for the next spell, the Legendary Counterspell, the favorite magic used by the Attila spellcasters, and the one that makes their rival casters helpless.

Normally, they use this magic to mute the enemy's caster, and then rely on other armies to defeat the enemy by using their superiority in strength and numbers.

The face of the Atila spellcaster troops, who used magic to condense the fireball, suddenly changed, and the smug smile seemed to be frozen, fixed on the face, making the smile look extremely distorted, and it is estimated that the child will be scared to cry when he sees it.

The huge fireball flickered brightly and darkly without any warning, this is the caster below is trying their best to maintain the existence of this fireball, but it is a great pity, what they paid in exchange for the future that has not been changed, and the fireball that suddenly exploded turned into a rain of fire in the sky, falling from the sky.

The intense heat of the fire turned into raindrops, falling from the sky into the army of Atira, and on the heads of the army of Atira, the warriors who were still resting and had not joined the war.

The spark that fell on him burned quickly and violently as if it had met the flames of fuel, and a human-shaped torch scattered in all directions wailing, and finally turned into black char and fell to the ground.

There is no way to compare this flame with the [Flame Arrow] and [Explosive Arrow] used by the Scandinavian spellcaster just now, the power is too different, the wooden shield turned to ashes in an instant, even those white bear people wearing metal armor are not immune, the armor turns into molten iron, people also turn into charcoal, and the cold wind blows lightly and turns into black powder, blending into the blizzard.

The Gnoll troops, those who were throwing stone bullets and suppressing the fire, suffered the most losses, the place where they stood turned into a sea of fire, and the people around them fled in all directions, let alone save people, they just wanted to get out of this hell that turned into a sea of fire as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, those spellcasters, although the magic was countered, but the colorful protection lit up on their bodies easily blocked these burning rain of flames, they turned their heads with pale faces to look in the direction of Atira, and then lowered their heads and began to prepare magic to deal with the still burning flames.

Rather than crying over spilled milk, these current spellcasters need to clean up the mess caused by the milk, and have already found a way to get a second bottle of milk to fill their stomachs.

Even if the mistake has been made and the mistake has appeared, then no matter how much you regret it, how panicked it is, it is useless, and the only way to solve the problem is to remedy it as quickly as possible.

The loss of the gnolls is estimated to be feared only by the gnolls shamans, but other races, such as the mammoths, whose thick fur are also afraid of the burning flames, if these mammoths are allowed to die due to their mistakes in this rain of fire, then the caster troops that can cause all of this must have a price.

Don't think that the caster has a high status among the races, and Athila will not punish them, on the contrary, in the eyes of the girl, as long as the person who makes a major mistake, no matter what power and status he has, he is the object of punishment, or purge.

The only exception is probably only those knights, as 100% loyal to Atira, they have almost become fanatical believers, they have also gained the trust of Atira, many people suspect that those knights are not actually independent lives, independent and free existence, but similar to the messengers who have been contracted.

Of course, these things are only speculations in private people, and those who dare to discuss them in public have become physical objects, hanging on the ropes of large trees to be dried.

While the entire Attila army was in shambles due to the arrogant mistakes of the spellcaster's troops, what were their higher-ups, the two knights, the Attila and the other chieftains of various races doing?

They stood quietly on Beamon's back, no one speaking, just watching the flames that were gradually extinguishing below and the scorched marks everywhere.

Hogg the Jackal didn't say anything either, and when the first wooden ladder was destroyed, he had already put down his work and came here with his deputy.

His lieutenant worked part-time as a herald, and if he needed to give any orders, he only had to give orders to his deputy, who would then relay his orders to the other heralds, and then to the ears of the other gnolls as quickly as possible.

He had come here to plead with Atira, after all, the five wooden ladders were the work of the craftsmen of Atila's army who had managed to make them out of scarce materials.

It was a very undesirable thing to destroy it simply because of the negligence of the gnolls, because of a small pit, and of course Hogg was more afraid that there were other races that would say things against them in front of Attila for this one reason.

Coming here, seeing the heavy atmosphere here, Hogg breathed heavily, cautiously walked in, and following the eyes of the others, he happened to see the second wooden ladder burning in flames in the explosion.

Hogg's heart relaxed, and the tense muscles in his face soothed, for if there was to cover up a mistake, there was no better mistake than another, bigger and more serious.

If the damage of the first wooden ladder was due to the negligence of the jackals, then the damage of the second wooden ladder was the sluggishness of the spellcasters, and more importantly, why those spellcasters were sluggish, they would seem hesitant and indecisive without the previous decisiveness.

When those spellcasters used legendary magic on the first day of their tentative attack, and looked at the other side with a big grin as unmistakable and unprepared.

Hogg knew that the negligent mistakes made by the gnolls before would not be mentioned by anyone, because of the mistakes of the spellcaster's troops, the entire Atila army was on fire, and they were trying their best to make amends, and even the suppression of the enemy's fire was forced to stop.

If someone still wants to use this matter to give Hogg eye medicine, then the mistake made by the spellcaster army will be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, and the spellcaster army is composed of various races, and those spellcasters are all relatives of the chieftains present or people of the same status, if anyone proposes to punish the spellcaster troops at this time, not to mention whether Artila will be unified and offend all the forces in the entire Attila army, it is inevitable.

Much like the atmosphere here, the Scandinavians above Upland watched the approaching wooden ladder very quietly, and at such a distance they could already see the appearance of the gnolls with their eyes, their bloodshot eyes, not to mention the white breath coming out of their mouths and the low roar coming out of their throats.

Although it is said that those spellcasters in the army seized the opportunity to inflict great damage on the enemy with a [Legendary Counter Technique], causing their army to fall into chaos, causing the gnolls who were being suppressed by fire to suffer great losses and had to stop throwing stone projectiles.

But on the other hand, the gnolls at the front of the battlefield had successfully pushed the remaining wooden ladder to a distance of two hundred meters from the city wall because of the unobstruction of the caster, leaving only the distance of the last moat, and they could climb to the city wall through the wooden ladder and engage in a white-knuckle battle with them.

At such a close distance, there was no way for the ballista to attack the target, except by projectile, but there was no one in the Scandinavanians who could hit the target without using the projectile to attack, and that would only be a waste of ammunition.

But it doesn't matter, it's not a problem at all that the ballista can't continue to be used, anyway, the best result these ballistas have achieved so far is to smash and wound hundreds of gnolls.

To add insult to injury, these stone projectiles left on the battlefield became a large shield for enemies to dodge magic and attacks, and the sturdy stone projectiles could defend against most of the magic below the legend, allowing the Atila army to rest in peace and refill the ammunition for long-range attacks.

There was no way to use ballistas, and the Scandinavians were able to use other means of attack for long-range attacks, such as their best axie, which was already effective at such distances.

As for the question of whether the throwing axe can destroy those wooden ladders, it is not a big problem at all, as long as these jackals who push the wooden ladders are solved, the Scandinavians have time to deal with these bulky big guys.

Of course, how to solve it is a problem for other people, such as those spellcasters, such as Siegmund to think about, and now the main task of the Scandinavians is to smash the axe in their hands on the jackal.

From the beginning of the war to the present, they have been aggrieved for too long, and they have been suppressed by a group of gnolls in such a way as throwing stones, which is something they have never thought of, and it is a shame that only the blood of the enemy can wash away.

That's right, these Scandinavians just look down on the Gnolls, and their impression of them is still at the point where an adult berserker can easily slaughter a small tribe of Gnolls.

The Jeats, the elite of Jeat, the berserkers trained by Beowulf were defeated by the gnolls in a frontal battle? That was impossible, it was a lie, a lie concocted to cover up the incompetence of the Jeats.

This idea is not one or two, but in the minds of most Scandinavians, who believe that the reason why the gnolls appeared on the battlefield was to be used as a run-back to make their corpses build a staircase that could reach the top of the city walls.

As the herald conveyed Siegmund's orders to the captains of the various squads, the Scandinavian began to remove the axe from his waist, held it in his hand, slightly removed the shield above his head, and began to observe the position and condition of his target with his eyes.

This time, the Scandinavians did not choose to shoot collectively in the throwing of axes, but to let the individuals play freely, because past wars have proved that it is not easy to get these loose, individualistic Scandinavians to cooperate with each other.

What's more, the formation of the gnolls is now very scattered, in order to conduct a carpet search for traps and traps under the snow, but at this time, the loose formation also reduces their casualties in the face of throwing axes.

The axe falling from the city wall, the whistling wind, and the tremendous strength carried in it, easily split the gnolls in half from the middle, whether it was the weapon shield in the hand or the bones in the body, they could not stop it.

The only way to dodge is to dodge, but the current situation is that they have no way to dodge, they are very close to the city wall, and the gnolls in front need to find the trap in front of the wooden ladder, and the gnolls in the back are pushing the wooden ladder even harder.

The sound of axes slicing through the air, the sound of blades slicing flesh and bones, muffled in the throat, the sounds that could not be controlled before dying, resonated in the open space below the city walls.

The defenders want to annihilate all the gnolls below and stop the wooden ladder from advancing

The attackers wanted to push the wooden ladder to the front of the city wall and follow the wooden ladder to the wall to fight

The former is to protect the homeland and the loved ones at home

The latter is for the sake of obtaining a homeland, but also for the sake of the loved ones at home

This is a one-way street that can only be carried out, and the opponents in front of them are enemies that must be solved, and only by solving this enemy can they continue to move forward, and only then can they have the possibility of continuing to move forward.

"Aim a little, in order to get home, you must not allow these filthy gnolls to climb the walls. ”

"Work hard, there's still a little bit left, and we'll be able to climb the walls. ”

Encouragement in different tones and tones rang out in their respective camps, as if both sides were just a few feet away from each other, and with only a few, they could overcome obstacles and knock each other down.

Thanks to the efforts of the Scandinavians, the third wooden ladder closest to the city wall stopped, not because it was damaged again, but because around the wooden ladder, the corpses of the dead gnolls were reduced to a thick carpet.

Behind the wooden ladder, a gnolloll with dull eyes and a lifeless corpse was being taken away by the cold wind at a rapid pace, and it didn't take long for the corpse to turn into a frozen corpse.

Moreover, there is a high probability that the undead who have no wisdom on the battlefield will wander at night, after all, the death of a large area of living beings will make the negative energy very rich, which is a necessary condition for the production of undead.
