For the past two days, Wyatt has been extremely depressed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wyatt has always been known as a man of courage and resourcefulness. Come to think of it, a guy who is taller than most apostles, and carries a huge scythe that is a head taller than himself, can easily be seen as a guy who only relies on brute force, and Wyatt certainly can't escape this category. However, Wyatt has one advantage that is seriously inconsistent with himself, that is, he is good at winning people's hearts, and he is not good at scheming, but he can use all kinds of methods or coercion or inducement to make other apostles follow him with all their hearts, and give him advice, and this plan in front of him is suggested for him by a junior officer who is attached to him and wants to advance to the middle rank of the apostle. That is, abandon a certain number of trebuchets and retreat thousands of meters away to attract the defending human army out of the city and seek an opportunity to annihilate it in one fell swoop.
In order to achieve this plan, Wyatt took a lot of effort. At his current level, it would be extremely difficult to mobilize more than five stone throwers, and now that Ureva was increasingly suspicious of him, it was almost impossible to mobilize more. Fortunately, at this time, another low-ranking apostle gave him an idea, and Wyatt, who was deeply convinced, knelt down in front of Ureeva with snot and tears, and prayed that Ureva would trust him, and swore that he would be able to guarantee the completion of the glorious mission given to him by Lord Ureeva, and would be inspired to become the first apostle to stand in the palace. Ureva didn't have much prejudice against Wyatt, if his ambition was smaller, he would definitely be a warrior who could take on important responsibilities, and it was entirely possible to be promoted to a high-ranking apostle in the future, but he showed his ambition too early. However, this time was not a bad thing for Ureva, and since Wyatt guaranteed that his method would succeed, then why should Ureva care about the gains and losses of a few catapults.
So, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. However, this east wind has not come for a long time.
For some reason, however, the apostolic army retreated, intentionally or unintentionally, leaving behind a large amount of weaponry that seemed to humans to be more valuable than the bulky stone throwers. In fact, not only those humans, but even many apostolic officers thought so, including Wyatt. Compared to the bulky stone throwers that were difficult to carry, those weapons were undoubtedly much smaller. And those humans are also on guard, every time they come out to pick up loot, they only send out small troops, and these humans are much taller than ordinary humans, almost catching up with the height of an ordinary apostle, which is undoubtedly a rotten bone that is difficult to gnaw. As for the stone-throwing machines that are a little farther away, there are not many people who come to patronize them, and even if there are, only a few stragglers are disappointed when they look around the stone-throwing machines, and they are completely worthless in annihilation. In this way, the human operation to sweep the autumn wind lasted for three days. During these three days, the apostles had almost swept away all the weapons and equipment they had left behind, and the stone-throwing machines remained alone.
Unlike the anxious Wyatt, Steles has been happy these days. In the past few days, due to the absorption of a large number of scattered soldiers, Steles's army has reached about 3,000 men. Moreover, his own guards were almost unharmed except for the fact that more than a dozen people were killed by Katena's poisonous mist at the beginning, coupled with the large amount of equipment discarded by the apostles that he had picked up in the past few days, so that the scattered soldiers who had lost their weapons were greatly replenished, and some of the soldiers with special strength had weapons in their hands even more powerful than the guards. Coupled with the fact that the mana of those precious magicians had recovered to peak levels and that Viren and Hill had both returned from injury, Sterns should even make a guarantee with the king to ensure that the wall he was responsible for was not lost, knowing that even the apostles outside the city who were responsible for attacking this wall were only five or six hundred people, plus a few dozen crushers. The Crusher may be huge, but when people know about his weaknesses, these behemoths become unworthy of mention.
Stelles didn't want the lethal trebuchets, but Stells was clearly more resourceful and patient than Wyatt. After hearing that Viren had thought of a way again, Sterls immediately went to the palace to meet King Magellan and asked not to rush out to carry the stone throwers, but listened to Viren's advice and delayed it for a few days. Sure enough, Wyatt became more and more impatient.
Another day passed, and just as Wyatt was about to exhaust all his patience and prepare to lead his army to attack the walls privately, Sterls finally made a move. Fifty men, under the cover of a hundred strong men armed with apostolic weapons, went out of the city gate and went to one of the nearest stone throwers.
"What? only a hundred and fifty little bugs?" Wyatt smashed a table in front of him, staring at the soldier who had come to report the Apostle, are you sure you read that right?"
"My lord, I promise you're not mistaken. Indeed, those humans have only sent ... The soldier replied resignedly, but the furious Wyatt didn't give the unlucky man much time, but with a flick of the scythe, the soldier's head and body were separated. "My lord, do you want to fight?" asked a mid-level apostle general, plucking up his courage, and the result was naturally not good. "Fart, hit, those cowardly bugs have only sent out so many people, is it enough for you to stuff your teeth?ah? Because these more than 100 people have exposed our ultimate goal, and a hundred of you are not enough to attest for your crimes!" In this way, the apostles thousands of meters away gritted their teeth and watched as the hundred or so little insects slowly moved the huge stone thrower back to the city from under their noses.
The apostles' stone throwers were not built from their own world, but were created from the swept elven village across the abyss. After inadvertently destroying the last elven tribe on the continent, the apostles stumbled upon a special element, even the towering trees that grew around the tribe. After understanding, the apostles learned that this was the so-called magical element. These woods are stronger than other woods and are more suitable for siege materials, and they also contain some magical elements to a greater or lesser extent, and the stones thrown by these trebuchets have a bonus to magical elements, which is more amazing and unguardable. As a simple example, a stone thrown by a scarlet stone thrower will be surrounded by fire for a split second, and there will be no survivors when hit by these flame-filled stones. And similar to this flame stone throwing machine, there are only about seven to eight of the more than fifty stone throwing machines. Unfortunately, the stone thrower that was pushed into the city was a similar special stone thrower. Seeing his heart and soul being imprisoned in the city, Wyatt couldn't wait to spurt out a mouthful of blood, even having a dead heart.
