Chapter 073: Killer Demon Bee
The soldiers of Saint-Malo were not afraid of death, and they concentrated all the fire of the waltz soldiers on the city wall.
Another group of soldiers pushed out eight huge siege engines from the rear of the battlefield, which they said were siege vehicles, but in fact they were ordinary carriages, with a thick and long log on them.
The top of the log was rounded and wrapped in a thick layer of iron, which served to break open the gates and allow the infantry and cavalry to rush into the city and slaughter.
The siege vehicle was pushed by a dozen or so strong soldiers, but the road on the battlefield was rough, and there were too many corpses of soldiers, so the Saint-Malo people immediately threw down the vehicle and relied on manpower to lift the log and continue to move forward.
The team carrying the logs quickly approached the city gate under the cover of a group of large shield soldiers, and the soldiers of the city of Bolton, who defended the city, also hurriedly intercepted under the command of Duke Mellon.
But at this time, the soldiers of St. Malo who were attacking the walls went crazy and began to attack, forcing the archers and mages to be distracted and protecting the team carrying the logs.
Looking at the siege logs that were getting closer and closer, Duke Mellon finally panicked, and he hissed and shouted: "Attack those who carry the logs!
But the result was not satisfactory, in such a chaotic hand-to-hand combat, the mage corps could not use the powerful legion magic at all.
Legion magic is a combination of magic, and the magicians must cast spells at the same time to achieve a uniform frequency of magic fluctuations, so as to carry out the permutation and combination of elements, which is very strict.
Therefore, the Legion magic can only be used initially, once the enemy attacks the city wall, in the face of the ubiquitous stray arrows and spears and swords, it is great that the mages can protect themselves, and what kind of frequency is there to talk about? They can only rely on ordinary magic to fight back.
Guarding the team carrying logs is a group of hoplites with large shields, their shields are thick and heavy, and their armor is heavily enhanced by the Shaman's Iron Soul Warsong, (Iron Soul Warsong is another name for the defensive warsong, which doubles the defense of the soldiers' armor and weapons) The defense is quite perverted, and the arrows and magic below the level do not cause much damage to them at all.
The mages of the Bolton City Magician Corps are all below the intermediate level, and the mages above the senior level are rare and precious, and all countries on the continent are enshrined as ancestors, once the magician is upgraded to the high-level, he can apply for the lord title of the country to which he belongs, and become a nobleman.
Although this nobleman was not hereditary, he could at least get a village as a fief and enjoy a carefree landlord life from then on, and who would want such a noble magician to die on the battlefield?
Duke Mellon was shocked when he saw that the enemy's shield infantry defense was so strong, and said: "The people of Saint-Malo actually thought of using this combination of war song and defensive formation to protect the siege trees! I haven't seen them for a few years, and they are a lot smarter, which is really not to be underestimated!"
In desperation, he had no choice but to take action on his own, and under the cover of several guards, Mellon cast spells one after another, "O omnipresent wind! Let's get rid of the shackles of the earthโโ group levitation technique!"
With his spell, a group of Saint-Malo soldiers carrying logs in the city actually broke free from the constraints of gravity and gradually floated, and the huge logs fell to the ground with a thud.
The Duke of Mellon's chanting spell sounded again, and after half a moment, the magic took shape only to hear him shout loudly: "Wind Blade Strangulation!"
Then a gust of wind enveloped the soldiers floating in the air, and the wind howled like countless sharp blades frantically cutting their bodies, tearing their armor and flying flesh and blood, and in a few moments only countless stumps and flesh were scattered.
Haixin and the others were amazed that Duke Mellon's magic was so powerful!
Although Mellon's magic is strong, but the high-level magic spell is very long, he is alone, and there are still four or five teams of siege log teams approaching the city gate, Meron is extremely lost, and his tired face is drenched in cold sweat.
Just when he was about to despair, he suddenly heard someone beside him chanting a spell, and he turned his head to look, only to see Haixin casting a spell.
He couldn't help but think of relief in his heart: "This kid still refuses to give up, but what can he do if he doesn't give up? Thinking of this, Mellon was then froze by the magic of the sea heart.
Everyone was surprised to find that Haixin was not casting an attack spell, but instead summoned a large swarm of killer bees that were slightly larger than the wasp's size, and the killer bee swarm was like a black cloud, sweeping through the siege log team with a buzzing sound.
And what surprised them even more was that these demon bees, which didn't look big and didn't have strong attack power, played an unexpected and amazing role at this moment!
It turned out that the killer bees were small and highly resistant to blows, and the weapons of the Saint-Malo soldiers did no harm to them, and wielding shields to fight was useless.
However, the killer bee can constantly fly and intersperse it, looking for gaps and exposed skin to bite, and the team carrying the log is suddenly stung and chaotic.
If you use these killer bees to attack other teams, although it will also have some effect, but it is just the icing on the cake and it is better than nothing, and it makes little difference whether you have it or not. But now put them on against the siege log team, that is, good steel is used on the blade, and all problems are solved.
The sad Duke of Mellon suddenly brightened up when he saw this situation, and he clenched his fists and said with joy: "Wonderful, wonderful! Such a small magical beast actually has such a magical effect, this is really making the best use of its talents!"
Killer bees look similar to ordinary bees, but they live in a harsh and harsh environment, poor conditions, many natural enemies, if you don't take the initiative to attack, if you don't fight desperately to attack wildly, you will be eliminated by the other party.
In this environment, they have developed their characteristics, that is, they are irritable and extremely aggressive. In the impression of mercenaries and adventurers, this is a special existence that must be avoided as soon as possible after encountering it in the wild.
However, the main reason why people fear them is actually their venom, the killer bee is a venomous monster, and their venom is their deadliest ultimate weapon.
The venom in the sting needle, the offensive weapon of the killer bee, is more poisonous than that of ordinary poisonous snakes, this venom is a yellowish transparent liquid secreted by venom glands, which is a strong cardiotoxin, and the stung soldier will immediately become red and swollen all over his body, his muscles will spasm, and he will lose consciousness and fall unconscious after a while.
The Killer Demon Swarm was as simple and efficient as a farmer mowing grass to deal with ordinary soldiers like humans who had no fighting spirit, and in just ten minutes, the five teams carrying logs had all been solved.
Then the killer bees flew in the air, and as soon as the siege convoy came up, they swarmed and pounced, firmly protecting the safety of the city gates.
When Duke Mellon saw that the crisis had passed, he immediately shouted excitedly: "Brothers, the city gate is safe, everyone will defend the city wall with all their might!"
