Heavy 28.6-B: The Collapse of the Sea (5)
·
Despite the difficulty, you decide to bring your allies in as much as possible.
You cast the 4-ring arcane "Crowd Reduction" on a large group of people blocking the doorway, and a total of seven rebels were stunted, and their height was suddenly reduced to half. Most of them crowded in front of them, and fell down the stairs with a grunt because of the extra gap in an instant. Six of their own people came in, and a thug from "Jiaomu" also came in. This spell can actively cancel the effect, you raise your hand, and all the rebels will immediately return to their original size as soon as they fall in.
The horned thug who fell into the pile of rebels died a bit miserably......
What does it mean to be redundant?
For example, these rebels on the stairs found that the enemy was all stuck in the doorway, and happily raised their swords and spears and stabbed them in unison. It's not your soldiers, and there's no way to stop it. When the Jiaomu thugs were stabbed to death by two or three people, they all retreated. The crowding at the entrance was lifted. Extra hits!
At this time,
Floods fell from the sky.
Annette's previous "Spider Walk" still has an effect. She leans against the ceiling above the stairs, hugging you tightly, and hiding high. The terrifying torrent of the embankment smashed into the rooftops with a deafening roar, and then instantly engulfed all the rebels on the stairs who were still busy crusading against the enemy.
Rush to the shadow.
...... It seems that he was saved in vain, but since he was not directly hit by a natural disaster, he should not faint and drown. Hopefully they'll be able to climb up later.
When the water is a little smaller, you and Annette jump down and walk up the stairs to the rooftop—half a figure left, all washed down, leaving only six ballistae alone.
A thunderbolt blasts against a weather vane not far behind you, and rooster-shaped wrought iron glows with fire.
Annette craned her neck and asked, "Are we standing a little tall?" Since it rained, the lightning has not stopped at all, and maybe standing on the roof is not a wise choice.
Embarrassed. You two occupy the rooftop, but it's pointless, and all the rebels who can operate the ballista are swept down.
It seems that pushing the line is a bit fast.
Unnatural lightning frequently fell on the high ground on the left, probably a lightning strike summoned by the "Witch's Sigh", and the high ground on the right burned fiercely in the torrential rain, except for the "Rainbow Shadow", it was impossible for anyone else to do it, and the street downstairs soon broke out again with the sound of fighting, sounding evenly matched.
The rebels, who had been swept downstairs by the flood, finally stumbled back onto the rooftops, but the thugs who had just appeared did not return. The three-story building, once smashed unconscious by a natural disaster, will drown in stagnant water if you don't fall.
"Quick, use the siege crossbow to suppress fire, pick up the enemy's bow and arrow, and shoot!" Annette commanded the rebels to speed up.
A few metallic sounds,
A dozen hooks hung from the edge of the roof. Soon a large group of enemies, wearing hooded cloaks, climbed up from the outer walls. One of them, probably the leader of the group, leaps to his feet and throws a hook at you—the same hook used by the two prisoners in the camp's cage.
The same goes straight to your throat,
In the same way, you subconsciously raise your short sword to resist,
Similarly, the short sword was ripped off and fell into the hands of the enemy leader!
"Haha, little rabbit cub, without weapons, I want to see how you still toss!" For some reason, he thought that a mage could not fight without a dagger.
A thunderbolt killed him, along with the two people beside him.
...... Who is this guy? He turned into black charcoal without even seeing his uniform.
Another enemy flew and rolled over, and Lisuo picked up the short sword that fell to the ground, held it in his arms, and said with a hideous smile: "Haha! Don't try to recapture the weapon!"
A metal shop sign blown away by the wind stuck in his head.
...... Are you going to take back your weapon? Why don't you know?
The dagger lands,
The dagger was picked up.
"We all know it!" you rely on this magic dagger!" With that, the foe slipped and fell to the tip of the dagger, killing him instantly.
Oh, it seems like this is the case - when you were on the first and second floors just now, there may have been a fish that slipped through the net and saw you use a short sword to make one move at a time after becoming invisible, so they concluded that you were a high-level assassin supported by a mage, and immediately notified the other companions. So, the first thing the group did as soon as they climbed onto the roof was to take your magic weapon.
You sigh,
Find a place to sit and be honest, a little tired. Annette continued to urge the rebels to leave these guys alone and quickly operate the ballista.
Within half a minute, your dagger was picked up by the enemy again and again, and landed again and again, and over again. The deaths were bizarre and endless—siege crossbows, bows and arrows, and cannonballs flying in the distance, the floor suddenly collapsed, and the wind-blown clothes covered their faces and fell down. When you hear the jingle bell, pick up the dagger at your feet and look up to see that the group of enemies that seem to be trying to do something are gone.
......
You stare at the dagger with your dagger in front of you...... It seems dangerous.
Listening to the sound, it looks like someone is running up from downstairs. Annette glanced at it, it was the enemy. So he cast the 4-ring arcane "Thunderstorm Wall" on the only doorway to the rooftop. The tiny lightning crackled like a twisted and intricate cage, and the enemy who ran at the front and didn't have time to stop slammed into the thunder wall headlong, and fell to the ground without saying a word, and the smell of burning gradually emanated from his whole body.
Although it was impossible to see the situation downstairs, it may have been lost, because scattered enemies were climbing up the roof along the outer wall one after another, and there were nearly ten enemies blocking behind the thunderstorm wall, jumping to their feet and scolding. You're surrounded by enemies, but they won't be able to come up for the time being.
Ballista fired incessantly into the street. The visibility is 30 meters, and it is difficult to shoot off, but if there are masters in the enemy team, they will shoot through. You can see them, but they can't see the crossbows hiding in the shadows. The battle quickly became one-sided, and I don't know who roared "Retreat!" The enemy was defeated. The figures that can be seen on the street are basically their own people, and they are still moving forward, listening to the movement, it seems that the high ground on the other side has also succeeded.
The Thunderstorm Wall is constantly being broken through by enemies, and there are a few strong guys who managed to survive and then be hacked to death by you. It's not that they're stupid enough to break through the thunder wall, but that the friendly forces have already stormed into the building and formed a siege against them, and there are only two options in front of them, to be killed by the rebels downstairs or to force their way through the thunder wall and gamble their luck...... Actually, it's all the same.
"The enemy is all gone, please let us in!"
Annette lifted the Thunderstorm Wall, and the rebels on the rooftops grew, and the defenses became more solid.
The sounds of battle were no longer audible.
The rain is gradually taking away a lot of your body temperature and many lives. After a short rest, you dragged your boat boots down the stairs, and the stairs were littered with corpses, at least there were more enemies than I did. But the streets were much more miserable, half and half.
Rush doesn't make sense anymore, you stop and get your team in order.
As if endlessly, the rebels were carried to the rear in batches, and rushed forward in batches.
The Elk Stalkers are gathering around you. Coco was able to dig and drowned, and the orcs were treated by the nurses who arrived and recovered from fatigue. The instructor in the front row was rushed a little far, but he was unharmed. Elizabeth scratched her head, her serious injuries were healed with great difficulty, catching up with you - limited healing spells will give priority to those with higher combat power, and ordinary rebels can only exit the battlefield with bandages wrapped in bandages after being wounded.
Your privates seem to be not far from the rear, and they have been advancing as a second front, and they will be able to come in no time. But at the same time, there were screams from the front, and the rebels were defeated for some reason, and were driven back to the vicinity of the ballista heights, and were crushed.
Belch?
Skeleton?
You're amazed to find skeletons with shields and swords scurrying through the streets in broad daylight. Although the clouds are thick, it is still daytime, and werewolves can't transform, what are these skeletons......
The skeleton soldiers lined up in a neat line, forcing the rebels back continuously. For ordinary soldiers, the undead have a strong fear aura effect, which especially affects morale, and is difficult to kill. The weapons of the rebel army are basically the same, swords, spears, short bows, round shields, all against people, and it is difficult to be effective against the undead. It might be better if you had a hammer or a stick, but it's too late to tell.
You also gradually retreat with your allies.
Siege crossbows have little effect on skeletons, let alone bows and arrows, which fly straight out of the ribs. The streets are littered with corpses, which has become the best source of material for the Necromantic Priest of the "Haiqiang Sect". The disparity in forces reversed in an instant.
The Elk Stalker and the front-row instructor easily smashed the skeleton in front of them, but there were a bit of a lot. As if inspired, the rebels also stubbornly followed forward, and the battle became stalemate and chaotic, with broken bones flying everywhere, but the ranks did not advance at all. The high ground that was finally captured could not be used.
The point is that morale has plummeted so badly that the rebels are completely unaccustomed to fighting the undead. It's a little worse if you encounter skeletons, but those zombies that were originally your companions are terrible, and you can't do it at all. "Jack, it's me! Stop!" you can even hear a young rebel screaming at the zombies.
Suddenly, the undead began to cower backwards in unison, looking painful.
Julianne rushed over from behind, casting the "Anti-Evil Circle" while praying with her head up, followed by a group of nurses and private soldiers, their palms clasped together and chanting words, exuding divine energy from their bodies. The Priest's standard Wide Area Crossing skill may not be as immediate as a kill, but it is more effective in a wide area.
"Damn, come on!" In the distance of the rain curtain, the Dark Priest of the "Sea Qiang Sect" could be heard roaring, casting a spell to force the skeletons to attack.
You hold your staff, and you look as if the battle is getting favorable, but not so obvious. After waiting for a while, I found that one after another undead creatures were overtaken and fell to the ground, but they were immediately replaced by subsequent skeleton zombies. When is this going to be fought? You're already starting to see wounded on your side.
If you think about it, the reason why Julianne and the nurses don't cast spells is either to save spell slots for saving people, or to consume them heavily. I can't count on it.
You wave your staff,
A "burst of sunfire" descended from the sky, engulfing all the undead in sight, turning the surroundings into daylight. Cast with a level 15 enormous power, this low-level undead creature collapsed in an instant.
You've cleared the field!
You've managed to expose the location of the Dark Herdsmen hiding in the distance!
You've succeeded in blinding your own people.
The army continued to advance, and with great momentum, left the protected area of the ballista platform. Julianne and the nurses stayed there as a forward treatment position, focusing on treating the wounded.
So far, most of the situation has been more or less as expected. Except for two points:
First, the rebels really gave up the Black Street offensive line. There are five routes in total, and as long as you succeed in three, it will be enough to kill Viscount Polz. Although there are quite a few rebels on this line, I have not seen any skilled leaders so far, and it is estimated that they have not been sent at all.
Second, the enemy artillery was surprisingly small. Except for the fact that I saw a cannon bombing on the ballista heights just now, I only heard its sound and did not see its bombardment. Heavy weapons have no other ...... than ballistae What about catapults and artillery?
The sound of battle in the distance seemed to have some artillery in the harbor, presumably pirates. What about the market? Where did all the artillery go in the market?
...... Won't they all move into the mansion in Porz and guard the door? Go in one and kill the other? This is too counter-routine.
"The cannonballs are coming! get out of the way!" a few rebels bent over you, holding black, round cannonballs, and placed them at the foot of a wall in front of you. It's a hollow-wrapped gunpowder thing, but it's not a bomb alone, so there's no lead...... Even if there were, it would have been so wet that I couldn't do it. It needs to be put in a cannon and detonated by impact.
The problem was that no artillery could be found - it was unexpected. I thought I could easily capture one or two pieces of artillery.
...... Rebels, you look at me, I'll look at you. Uh, what now? Across the wall is the Black Street, through which is the residence of the Viscount of Polz, but if you take a detour, this close and dangerous route becomes meaningless.
“...... Why don't I hit the cannonball with an iron mallet and try?" one of the rebels took off his helmet and seemed confident in his hard head. He seems to be serious, but he is serious.
The instructor in the front row raised his shield,
You cast a 2-ring arcane "battering ram" to create a force field that attacks like a battering ram, the equivalent of a troll's full swing of a wooden club, striking the base of the wall!
The wall opened.
There is no half of the enemy in front of you for the time being.
The Black Street is a unique force, with a small elite system in it, and now I didn't expect you to blow up the wall and break in, and all of them ran out to fight, and there was no patrol force left.
Ahead, is the most dangerous part of the entire route. Unless they are stupid, the black street will not leave any strength left, and they have no way out. Finally, you recall the information about the Black Street and the leaders of the forces stationed in the Black Street, and if you are unlucky, you will encounter several bosses to appear together, and even if you are lucky, it will be a boss battle.
On the right-hand side, an inconspicuous basement entrance leads directly to the so-called arena. Powerful gladiators are imprisoned inside, but there are also terrifying monsters that even the market itself can't tame. This entrance is unique, which means that it will take more time to get to the Viscount's Mansion than to get out of the Underground Arena.
What are you going to do?
A, move forward
B, enter the Underground Arena
