Chapter 119: Attack and Defense of the City Head

The Second Regiment of the Slave Catcher Regiment, composed of thousands of light cavalry, galloped silently in the night, followed by 3,000 servants engraved with strange runes like earthworms. Count Bacon and the small but very elite mage squadron are at the forefront of the slave catchers, like the sharpest arrows, ready to unleash the magic under the protection of dozens of fighters.

Because of the lack of preparation, I can only do it in one go. Once the first round of attacks failed and could not penetrate the north and south gates of Hongye City, this unit with light cavalry as the core and not good at attacking the city could only retreat.

Wind Spell and Light Body Spell are two spells that increase the speed of your march and reduce the noise of your march. With these two spell blessings, even after a long-distance run, the war horse and soldiers will still have a lot of physical strength left, which can seamlessly connect to high-intensity battles. Getting closer and closer to the south gate of Hongye City, the mage troops around Count Bacon had already gathered their magic according to the plan, and they only needed to release their spells when the time came.

And at this moment, the defenders in Hongye City who were waiting for it also discovered the attacking cavalry troops in advance. Although a considerable part of the soldiers in Hongye City were attracted to the outside of the city by foreign slaves, the number of defenders in Hongye City could still be calmly handled. After all, if it is only defensive, it will be advantageous to the defending side with the help of the geographical advantage of the city wall.

However, Marquis Red Fox still had a lingering shadow in his heart. On the one hand, the mage team that had previously infiltrated the city could cause chaos at any time, and on the other hand, there were flaws in the defense of Blood Leaf Mountain. After seeing an invading force of this magnitude, Marquis Red Fox knew that the Blood Leaf Mountain Range, which was a barrier, had been penetrated by the enemy. Only in this way can the enemy quietly transport large forces over. Although I don't know why the troops who come to attack the city are mainly cavalry troops, the Marquis of Red Fox does not dare to underestimate it in the slightest, and fully commands the troops defending the city, strictly guarding the north and south gates, and ensuring that the order in the city is not disturbed by those who have intentions.

And now, it's time to open the city defense magic array.

Flares flashing red, yellow, and green glow rose high into the air from the city, as if to signify some kind of unsettling signal. And the next moment, just when the magic array on the southern wall of Hongye City was about to open, the magician in charge of opening the magic array let out an unbelievable exclamation! Yes, the city defense magic array on the southern wall of Hongye City had a serious failure at this time!

Compared with the magic array on the south wall, the magic array on the north side of Hongye City is not only stronger, but also more rigorous in defense. It's a pity that Marquis Red Fox didn't expect that the enemy bypassed the proud Blood Leaf Mountain Range and directly attacked the weakness of Hongye City. And now, the relatively lax management of the southern city wall in the past ten years has finally given the Marquis of Red Fox a bitter fruit.

"I knew ...... earlier"

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

After the flashing flares of three-color light in the city, the dead soldiers who infiltrated the city to wreak havoc were untamed without any suspense, and their heads were even directly hammered into meat sauce by the angry defenders. However, the task of the dead man has been accomplished, and the situation is becoming extremely aggravated.

Without the protection of the magic array, the simple metal city gate could not withstand the fierce attack of magic at all. Therefore, the city gate was no longer defensible.

"Block the South Gate!" ordered the gloomy Earl of Bacon.

The earth rolled, and countless earth, sand and gravel surged towards the south gate like a tidal wave, only to completely block the south gate in a short time.

However, the fierce slave hunting group has already been killed! A series of Dawson white flames melted the south gate of Hongye City, exposing the sand and gravel in the city gate hole. While the attacker's mages can clear the sand and gravel that blocks the path in a short period of time, the mages of the defending side can also gather more sand and gravel in a short period of time. Therefore, the attacking side has no way to enter the city through the city gate in a short time.

In this regard, after the initial temptation, the magician of the attacking side no longer entangled in the attack and defense of the city gate, but turned to the outside of the city wall as high as ten meters away, agitating the earth and sand, and condensing a slope outside the city wall!

"Kill!" A thousand fierce-looking servant soldiers with shields and axes in their hands, led by squad leaders, squadron leaders, and group leaders, frantically slashed towards the rapidly converging slope towards the city wall!

Behind the soldiers of these servants, the mages suppressed the defenders on the walls in advance to reduce the losses of the besieging troops.

Dazzling flares rose from the city, suspended in the air like a blazing sun, illuminating the battlefield outside the southern walls.

After opening up his horizon, the fifty-meter-high magic tower in the center of Hongye City finally locked onto the invading enemy, shooting countless high-energy rays at the servants who were attacking along the slope. As for attacking the magicians outside the city, it's better not to waste mana.

In the face of the high-energy rays that burst from the tip of the magic tower, the earthworm-like magic patterns on the soldiers of the servant army squirmed rapidly, condensing a layer of condensed blood-colored shield outside the skin of the servant army! The hidden spell casting material in the "tattoo" passively triggered the blood-colored shield, but what really provided the follow-up energy for the blood-colored shield was the fighting spirit in the servant army's body and the energy in the blood!

Rao is like this, the high-energy rays of the magic tower still pierced the body of the servant army, killing those servant troops who had no time to defend on the spot! However, those servant soldiers who felt the danger in advance and raised their shields, because of the protection of an extra layer of shields, the blood-colored shield on the surface of their bodies finally blocked the attack of a high-energy ray.

The attack on the Magic Tower did not exceed the expectations of the attacking side. Although it was possible to take precautions in advance, Count Bacon did not do so, but used the lives of the servant army to test the firepower output strength of the magic tower of Hongye City. Now that you have already been tempted, you should not let your own soldiers continue to die.

Driven by magic, a sandstorm spread from outside the city to the city's head, threatening to engulf the entire city wall like a giant mouth. Once the sandstorm obscures the southern wall, the Tower of Magic will lose its vision and will not be able to launch precise attacks, and the mana consumed will be greatly increased.

In response, the mages on the defending side immediately unleashed hurricane spells against the sweeping sandstorm.

The hurricane crashed into a sandstorm on the top of the city, keeping it out of the walls. However, the sandstorm outside the city walls did not retreat, but rolled violently like a tumbling dark cloud, gathering strength like a huge mouth that chose to devour.
