Because of the angle and distance, the Scandinavians standing on the walls could not see very well what had changed around the wooden ladders.

Not everyone has the same sharp eyes as archers, and even spellcasters can only see far away after using [Eagle Eye] to enhance their vision.

Many times, though, the eye isn't the only way to get information, and skilled warriors can sometimes get accurate information based on experience, or even just on the basis of that elusive feeling.

Now they are the same, based on the experience of previous battles, the Scandinavian spellcasters believe that there are only a few magic spells used by the Atilla army to reduce the hit rate of the ballista stone, either using illusions to make the warriors operating the ballistas make wrong judgments and attack false targets, or to make the air form a flowing wall and deflect the angle of the stone projectiles, of course, it is also possible that the Atilla spellcasters do not care about the loss of magic materials, and the two ways are used together.

Well, why is there such a judgment, why is it so certain, it is not because the north is a desert of magic, and there are only so many people who can release magic, and there are also so many kinds of people who can perform what they can do, either this or that, it is difficult to have any new tricks.

For the first method, the Scandinavian spellcaster's method of dealing with it is also very simple, casting [Exorcism] on those warriors who operate the ballista to dispel the magic that acts on them.

There is no need to worry too much, because it is impossible for the opponent to use legendary spells against these warriors, and the difference between the price paid and the results obtained is simply disproportionate.

I have to say that [Exorcism] and [Group Exorcism] are very versatile on the battlefield, no matter what kind of magic it is, it can be effective, even if it can't be lifted because of the strength of the magic, it can also reduce the power and intensity of it. (Due to the reason of the divine beast, the exorcism ** was renamed exorcism)

Poison that can kill in a few seconds can be turned into ten minutes, and continuous curses can also be suppressed, except for the magic that is instantaneous and cannot be dealt with, this magic is still very useful.

As for the latter, the walls of air that are so transparent that they are difficult to distinguish with the eye are not too difficult to solve, or rather, maybe a problem for spellcasters elsewhere, but for this group of druids and shamans who live in Scandinavia and live on ice and snow, it is simple.

【Blizzard】

Combine the power of a dozen druids and shamans to use a spell called Blizzard, which is a difficult spell to cast, as simple as cooking and eating in their hands, and a dozen people can use it together to increase the power of the magic while reducing the pressure on each caster.

The loose dark clouds in the sky still gathered, blocking out the sunlight that is rarely seen in the northern winter, and the breeze, gales, hurricanes, and in just a few minutes, the hurricane blew around the entire city of Upplan.

The snow on the ground is rolled up, mixed with the white snow falling from the sky, forming a beautiful picture, which is the beauty of those in the south who have never seen snow before, and it is difficult to extricate themselves from it.

It is really beautiful, as long as it is a normal intelligent life, as long as it has the normal values and aesthetics of the mainstream, it will be intoxicated by such a scene, and it will produce such emotions as beauty.

However, for the people of the north, such beauty they would rather never touch or see for the rest of their lives, for whom the blizzard is never a beautiful thing, and the cold is accompanied only by death, pestilence, hunger, and war.

Except for those who are still children, everyone else will not be affected by the gods until now, due to Odin's family ethics drama, which led to the attack of the frost giants, and plunged the entire northern part of the main plane into a severe cold disaster.

It can be said that it is precisely because of that ice and snow disaster that the pattern of the entire north has been disrupted, and there will be characters like Atila, and deformed products like the Attila Empire will appear.

No, not only Attila, the rise of Alice, the establishment of the Baltic Empire, but also the help of the ice and snow disaster, otherwise when Jutland rose, without Attila eyeing the east, Beowulf would have led the army to attack Jutland and avenge the dead Filipino king Horosga.

As the Scandinavian casters had guessed, the methods used by the Attila casters were really of either kind, when the warriors wielding the ballistas were awake, and when the shields made up of chaotic air currents were destroyed by the blizzard and were ineffective.

It was only natural that the ballista would get an effective hit, well, of course, the caster of the enemy on the opposite side also used magic to annihilate the stone projectiles, and because of the speed of the ballista, after a flash of light, there was only a red and hot stone.

We don't know what kind of magic caused such a scene and produced such an effect, the only thing we can know is that the magic that can hit those high-speed flying stone bullets with such precision and shatter these stone bullets with a single blow is definitely not something ordinary people can resist.

Some gnolls rushed over in an organized manner, picking up the scattered stones, putting them in their pockets, and bringing them back to their companions who were making stone throws.

There was no way around it, the Scandinavians were very clean, not only deforesting and hunting animals, but also bringing the rocks on the surface of the earth to the city of Upplam as ammunition for weapons or materials for repairing the walls.

In order to obtain something like stone, the army of Attila had to dig underground to find it, but among their army, there were no races that were good at digging, and they did not have gloves that could be easily excavated by magic, so it was not so necessary to have a heavy, useless thing like stone.

The gnolls are also a last resort, in order to be able to capture the city, they are really serious, a few gnolls' lives can be exchanged for ammunition for continuous attacks, and the lives of a few gnolls are worth exchanging for the death of a Scandinavian.

Anyway, the jackals, there are not many things, that is, there are many people, and they are also relying on the advantage of numbers, so that they can sit firmly in the position of one of the three evils in the north, in a year's time, no matter how hard a Scandinavian woman tries, she can only give birth to one child, and if she is lucky, she will only have twins at most.

However, the gnolls are different, a female gnolls can give birth to several, more than a dozen children in one litter, the vitality of these children is very tenacious, if there is no accident, there is enough food, they can form combat effectiveness in a few years, and they can reproduce the next generation.

As for humans, it takes three to four times as long for them to grow up to be able to fight and reproduce as a gnoll, even if their individual strength is several times that of a gnoll, but flesh and blood still have the limit of flesh and blood.

Even if a figure like Beowulf was surrounded by thousands of gnolls and fought for several days or ten days without rest or food, he couldn't stand it and could only choose to retreat.

The reason why the gnolls did not become a force like the fishmen who could dominate the entire north was because of the continuous efforts of other races, and the daily conflicts caused the death of certain gnolls.

And the limited territory, limited resources, and harsh environment also limit the development of the Gnolls, otherwise, the Gnoll Hogg, the wise leader of the Gnolls, would not be unable to resist the things given by the famine.

Even deep down, Hogg the Gnoll knew that the Scandinavians would never be able to withstand the attack of the Attila army with a single city.

However, how much the jackals will pay, how crazy the Scandinavians will need to deal with after taking this land, how long it will take to recover, and what kind of crisis they may encounter when they recover, that is another matter.

Of course, if the Atila army can win this battle, no, even if they are in a stalemate with the enemy on this Scandinavian land, they can be considered very cost-effective.

However, if this battle, like the last two times, left the Attila army in vain, even if the gnolls gained the land, even if they succeeded in becoming the new masters of Upplan City, they would not be able to hold out for long.

Just as no one thinks that the Scandinavians can use a city to compete with the entire Attila army, no one thinks that the gnolls can defend themselves against the Scandinavians by relying on the city.

Besides, after all, this is a city founded by the Yeats, a city founded by the Scandinavians, and no one knows if there is a secret passage to connect the city, and if that thing really exists, then the gnolls will have absolutely no way to defend it.

The Gnoll's suppression continues, and the slings are a good weapon when it comes to long-range attacks, especially when covering fire.

It's cheap, it's easy to obtain, it's easy to use, it doesn't require much training, and it doesn't hide its advantages even if it has problems such as slightly poor accuracy and insufficient damage.

Especially when the battlefield was covered by fire, the continuous attacks did not bring many casualties to the Scandinavians, but they suppressed their counterattacks, leaving them unable to operate their weapons quietly, creating favorable conditions for the surprise attacks of their companions.

"Can't you just think of a solution?"

A soldier with a shield in his hand and guarding next to the ballista complained loudly, he had maintained the posture of holding the shield for a long time, and he was not too tired, but he was extremely uncomfortable to be suppressed by the other party's fire.

Although the accuracy of the centaur javelin is good, it is still a small number of them, and there is no way to do continuous and uninterrupted attacks, and it is only the time when the war has just begun, and the material is still very surplus, as long as they are not hit, as long as they do not die on the spot, under the treatment of the druids, they can recover quickly.

However, what annoyed them were the little pebbles of the jackals, which did not hurt much, only slightly painful on the body, but they were able to distract them.

The operation of those ballistas must be cautious and concentrated, and the slightest difference will bring about a difference of a millimeter, and the result of a thousand miles, a centimeter difference here, when it comes to the jackal, may be ten or twenty meters away, and this error will increase with the increase of distance.

This is also a matter of no choice, after all, at this time, most things need to be operated by human hands, and those automation, even the concept of automation, only stay on the top of magic.

The wooden ladders of the Atira Army, having crossed the first moat with the efforts of the gnolls, and behind them there were already hundreds of gnolls' corpses, all of them unlucky fellows who had been killed by ballistas, and if it weren't for their very scattered formation, the number of deaths would have been much higher.

Of course, they had to deal with more troubles then, just like climbing a mountain, the closer they got to the top, the more difficult it became, and when they got out of the smooth ice, they had to deal with the snow and the craters beneath the snow.

No, the problem they need to face now is much more difficult than just now, because of the existence of the blizzard, the field of vision is restricted, and the thickness of the snow on the ground is constantly increasing, and in such an environment, it is even more difficult to find and avoid the pit.

No way, their keen sense of smell doesn't work in such an environment, and the craters asked in the slightest difference from the surrounding land.

The wooden ladder at the front suddenly stopped, and in the crunching sound, it became an inclination of more than forty degrees, and the jackals below quickly gathered together, supporting it with their hands to prevent it from collapsing.

The gnolls behind were also struggling to pull the wooden ladder out of the pit, trying to pull it out of the pit, but such a heavy instrument was no longer something that simple manpower could fight against.

Their efforts soon failed, and the sheer volume and weight of the entire wooden ladder made it emit an overwhelming sound, and the material that made up the wooden ladder could hardly bear its weight.

The magic runes on the wooden ladder flickered, and then slowly dimmed, and in the sawdust in the sky, the wooden ladder separated into two parts, and those jackals who were holding their hands up and supporting the wooden ladder below were crushed below without even having time to react.
