Chapter 216: Siege and Grinding
Chapter 216: Siege and Meat Grinding
Blood flowed from the corners of Leqi's mouth as he was lifted by the strength of the Giant Palm, but the moment he fell into the magma, he smiled—because he knew he had made the right bet!
Although Leitch has the belief to fight for the Federation, but as a time-traveler, he is far from the noble point of not sparing his life for the Federation, the reason why he dares to stroke the tiger whiskers of a great sage is because he has his own confidence - his holy war puppet mark has another chance to be used, Leitch firmly believes that no matter how strong the blue-robed mage is, it is impossible to kill himself with one blow!
But in the end, Lei Qi did not use the puppet mark of the holy war, firstly, he was reluctant, and secondly, it was not cost-effective - ordinary people are more or less sympathetic to the weak, and secretly hate the strong, that is, "hatred of the rich"; if he blocked the blow of the blue-robed mage by himself, although it would cause considerable shock to the outside world, it would also reduce his "dedication" in this matter in the eyes of ordinary people!
Leitch had never considered being a silent dedication to the savior hero, that was not his favorite tune, at least not at the moment, and if doing a good deed could bring him huge benefits at the same time, Leitch didn't mind maximizing the benefits - that's why he would bear the slap of the blue-robed mage without resistance, in order to let people see his efforts afterwards!
At the same time, Leitch is convinced that Princeton will never let himself go, because by doing so, he will at least greatly alleviate the crisis that he and the Batterie family will face;
Of course, if he doesn't end up with the planned help, Reich will activate the Holy War Golem Mark......
In addition, the use of magic by the blue-robed mage and Yarman this time also caused a considerable shock to Leqi - whether it was the blue-robed mage's magic giant palm or Yarman's flame chain, neither he had ever recited the spell, and Leqi was sure that this was not natal magic, it was just a pure use of magic! Perhaps at the realm of Yarman, except for the obscure spells that needed to be recited to cast some powerful forbidden spells, the magic in the body was almost equivalent to their other hands and feet!
As for why the nine-tailed fox girl was able to lead down such a terrifying thunderbolt, it was not within the scope of Lei Qi's understanding. www.biquge.info But the most powerful thing about the astrological fox clan is astrology, and before the thunder landed, there was a vast galaxy map in the sky, which should have a lot to do with astrology......
Because of the unexpected awakening of the nine-tailed fox girl, the forward of the combined legion fell into chaos, and when the silver thunderstorm dissipated, except for the dozens of soldier corpses left on the ground, whether it was the nine-tailed fox girl or the blue-robed mage, they had all disappeared without a trace......
However, the disappearance of these two people made the surrounding soldiers breathe a sigh of relief--these two are strong men they cannot provoke, and once they make a move, it is their small soldiers who are unlucky! The dozens of charred corpses on the ground are the best proof of this.
The stone bridge, which was enough for three carriages to pass in parallel, was crowded with soldiers, but it was not enough, there were still a large number of soldiers advancing on both sides of the stone bridge - these large shield soldiers who acted as the vanguard, in addition to their conventional weapons, also had a cloth bag hanging from their waists, and when these large shield soldiers took out the contents of the cloth bag, it was actually a bottle of silver-white alchemical potion!
When these silver-white potions were poured on the magma Daze, the hot magma unexpectedly condensed, and even the terrible heat was wiped away, forming a cold avenue of ice!
If Leitch were here, he would definitely recognize this silver-white potion as an expert-level alchemy potion - the Giant Ice Potion! The most commonly used place for the Giant Ice Potion is that adventurers use it to condense the ground when they encounter some strange terrain, such as swamps and magma, and forcibly open up a path for them to walk, so this potion is quite popular among those large mercenary groups. It's not that they are not popular with small and medium-sized mercenary groups, but they can't afford it, and this bottle of giant ice potion will cost 10,000 gold coins!
And now these big shield soldiers are pouring the giant ice elixir in the cloth bag on the magma Daze as if they don't want money, and the gold coins spent every mile of implementation will be topped by the current Black Wind Chamber of Commerce's monthly income!
However, the Giant Ice Potion is a bit more expensive, but it is worth the cost - the stone bridge is still too narrow for the Combined Legion, which is not conducive to the use of the ranger troops behind the Great Shield, and it is also easy to be covered by the long-range fire of the defenders of Aldington, and even if the vanguard succeeds in rushing to the gap in the wall, it will suffer heavy losses due to the outnumbered enemy! You must know that even if you invest in every soldier alone, it is quite a lot of money, not to mention that it is still a rare elite, and for a figure like Princeton, it is not a problem to spend gold to solve the problem......
The entire Combined Legion was now frantically rushing towards the breach, with the exception of two thousand - the two thousand heavily armored soldiers stood still like a boulder on the edge of a torrent of steel, and it was the two thousand Black Wind Heavy Riders brought by Reich.
However, the soldiers passing by from the surrounding area also understood that even their commander had fallen into the magma daze, and now they don't know whether they were alive or dead, how strong would they have no matter how fierce they rushed to? There were even many people secretly gloating about this, and even sneering at it......
"Captain Short, what do you think we should do now?" Arthur looked at Short anxiously, while the others also looked at him, obviously waiting for him to make a decision.
Short is the centurion of the Black Wind Heavy Cavalry, and he is also the captain of the Military Discipline Inspector Brigade, supervising the army; for those soldiers who dare to violate military discipline, the Inspector Brigade has never been stingy in raising the butcher knife in his hand! Therefore, the Inspector Brigade is fierce and powerful in the entire Black Wind Territory, and the captain of the Inspector Brigade, Short, is even more terrifying to ordinary soldiers, and Short has a zombie face on the cold floor almost all day long, so ordinary soldiers privately call him "Cold Butcher".
Before marching into the city of Aldington, Leitch had stated that once he was not in the army, it would be up to Short to make the decision. It's not that Leitch doesn't trust Bill and Lawsky, who have been with him for a long time, but that there's no point in doing that, because so far, except for Carl, who is now the lord of Winged Demon City, strictly speaking, the three of Bill are actually "outside the establishment". Therefore, such an opportunity, Leitch also deserves to hand it over to Short, who is valued by himself.
As for the opportunity of Shortt, Bill and the three of them don't really care very much, because these three don't actually have much desire for power; as for Gooda, Norton, and Peter, they are full of envy - they have heard that Short has not been under the command of Lord Viscount for a long time, but Lord Viscount has put the decision-making power in his hands, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Leitch is focusing on cultivating him! At the same time of envy, the hearts of the three demons are also extremely hot, they are now centurions, and their former status is completely incomparable with the present;
And so on. Short replied nonchalantly, looked around at everyone expressionlessly, and said calmly, "I believe that with the foresight of the adults, there will be no danger, we just need to wait here for the return of the adults." ”
Seeing that Guda's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, Short sneered and said: "Why is Guda Centurion still worried that the credit will be robbed by others? Don't think that the tearing of the wall of Aldington City means that the war is over, there are still tens of thousands of defenders behind this wall, and if you don't fall under this wall, don't think about the war being extinguished!"
"What's more, don't forget, our real service is the Viscount, and our merits are counted by the Viscount, otherwise, even if we rush in and kill all the Aldington clans, it will be a wedding dress for others!" Short's sharp gaze made several of Guda's demons shudder.
"Boom-"
As soon as Short's words fell, a ray of flame fell on the stone bridge in front of him, and the Federation soldiers within a radius of several meters were burned black in the screams; a huge magic stone bullet was thrown down and exploded among the soldiers, scattering sharp iron vertebrae that pierced more than a dozen soldiers, and the blood flowed incessantly; there were countless arrows and throws with magical light falling from the city wall, and every moment a soldier was crucified to the ground!
But even so, the big shield soldiers behind them still charged forward without any stop, because they knew that they might die if they rushed forward, but if they dared to stop at this time, or even retreat backwards, they would definitely be killed on the spot by their superiors!
But fortunately, the two most powerful Legendary-level magic guide turrets in the East Gate, including the soldiers on the thousands of meters of city walls and more than a dozen four-winged angels, have been torn apart along with the city walls in the thunderstorm, otherwise the losses of the forwards of the United Legion would have been even more heavy!
However, even in the charge, the Combined Legion was not blindly beaten passively, and the 60,000 rangers who followed closely behind the big shield soldiers were also constantly pulling the longbow in their hands, and the dense magic arrows were overwhelmingly covering the fire points in front of them, and countless corpses were from the city wall**, and even many magic guide batteries were directly shot by the rain of arrows!
And dozens of godarm-level magic trebuchets behind the United Legion are also pouring wildly, and pieces of magic stone projectiles weighing 10,000 catties drag the long tail of flame across the sky, smashing into the walls of Aldington City - now the magma fire waterfall in Aldington City has been broken in the previous thunderstorm, and now it is like a helpless girl forced into a corner by a two-meter-tall man, and the clothes on her body are being peeled off one by one!
For the defenders on the city wall, if these magic stone bullets are smashed on the city wall, although they can collapse the city wall, this is still lucky for them, but if they are unfortunate enough to be hit by the magic stone bullets, they can only float out a wisp of soul to see the ancient gods, as for the corpse, even they can't bear to look back......
"Smack!"
At this time, there was a slight sound of the water surface being broken from the magma Daze, and the two thousand black wind riders followed the sound and were all pleasantly surprised to find that it was Leitch who had returned safely!
