Chapter 16: Ballista from the Tower

Zhang Yang's breathing was very short at this time, and he had gone all out in the previous battle. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to end so quickly, of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that the other party began to underestimate the enemy. At this time, Zhang Yang was still slowly calming down his breathing and heartbeat, and secretly resisted the numbness and pain all over his body with willpower. Sequelae, if you want to get it, you have to be ready to pay! The ability to use the experimental phase is still a little too reluctant. Slowly putting away his weapon, Zhang Yang turned around and walked towards Maklers seemingly unharmed. At first glance, except for some messy clothes and armor and sweat on his head (in fact, it hurts), Zhang Yang is no different, only a careful observation can find that Zhang Yang's body is trembling very slightly. By the time he reached Maculus, the discomfort in his body and the slight blue glint in his eyes had already disappeared......

Yes, the reason why he was able to achieve that super rapid reaction state in battle was because Zhang Yang used a kind of power that he had newly explored! A hint of the power of thunder and lightning! After secretly trying to march a few days ago, Zhang Yang quietly tried a method of carefully pulling a trace of electric current into the body and constantly channeling it to stimulate the body. This method can significantly improve nerve responsiveness, speed and strength in a short period of time. The reinforcement ratio is to improve the basic physical fitness by 30%, and the duration cannot exceed 5 points, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it and spasm! Although the duration is not very long. But it is also a way to improve combat effectiveness, but the fly in the ointment is that the sequelae are obvious! After all, it is the power that belongs to the trial stage, and Wright's small body is still too fragile. After each use, my whole body is itchy and painful like a pinprick prick. After trying, Wright found that he could use this ability again as long as the sequelae had completely passed, and if he forcibly used it before the sequelae had passed, it would greatly shorten the time it could be used safely.

"I knew it! I knew Miss Wright was going to win! Hahaha~Huh?! I'm wrong, it's not Miss Wright, it's Wright......"

"Wright is amazing! Did he really not learn the Dou Qi technique? ”

"When I turn back, I must teach me two hands!"

"Wright ......"

Ophelia was shocked by Wright's powerful outburst and unexpectedly quick victory. But she didn't show any joy, but showed a slight hint of worry. Because, at this point, Wright has only passed the test and will face Maculus directly, and the city breaker Maculus himself is the biggest threat in front of him! It is rumored that he is infinitely close to the silver knight of the gold level, and it is even rumored that he can already compete with some people who have just entered the gold knight level without falling behind. This is a powerful force that can completely suppress Wright, and even crush him at will! A powerhouse of the 5th tier! ……

"Earth Dragon, Legion Commander, Your Excellency, hello! I am, Silver Pegasus, Legion, Captain Wright. ”

Zhang Yang still looked like that strong and calm young man on the surface, and the battle and victory just now seemed to have not happened at all. Only the sweat and slightly pale face could prove that the battle just now was real. Maybe it's because I've been familiar with it for a while, Zhang Yang can barely say a 3-word phrase~ Otherwise, what kind of negotiation will you talk about with this stumbling style? However, the people of Silver Pegasus didn't know, and they were still pinching a cold sweat for him.

"Very good, young man! Defeat 4 elite cavalrymen at your current level, and you're entitled to keep your weapons to meet me. Before I get down to business, I have a question. Maculus lowered his head and looked straight into Zhang Yang's eyes. The tall and majestic figure seemed to directly block the sun, and a mountain-like pressure immediately enveloped Zhang Yang! This is a sense of oppression peculiar to the strong! And Zhang Yang was under this pressure, and he only felt that his body was a little rusty. But the mind and consciousness are completely unaffected!

"Please." The body resisted the pressure, but Zhang Yang's voice was as calm as ever.

It's interesting. In the face of the oppressive force of my quasi-5th-order fighting qi, I was able to maintain my mind without being shocked, this kid is really amazing. Macalus was slightly surprised in his heart. It turned out that Maculus was still testing Wright, using his quasi-5th-order fighting force field to deter the other party, and then affect Zhang Yang's mind, and those who were not strong-willed would be afraid, confused, and even faint! This is also the embodiment of the level of power that can only be accessed by a 5th order powerhouse! But what Maklers never imagined was that although Zhang Yang's strength was negligible, his soul strength was indeed extremely powerful! As a result, his mental and spiritual defenses are very strong. It is completely possible to ignore the coercion of Maculus's level! However, the body's stress response is inevitable, otherwise it is easier to expose flaws.

"In the battle just now, why did you only hurt and not kill? You have too many chances to kill them. They are your enemies on the battlefield, and you have the strength, and why didn't you kill them? You should know that the best enemy is the dead enemy. ”

Maculus asked suddenly, solemnly.

"It's just, let's try." Zhang Yang glanced at the serious Maculus before giving his answer lightly.

"Compete...... So, say everything you know. ”

If Zhang Yang stumbled to tell the truth of the matter, it is estimated that more than half of the people present would come forward to beat him, it would be torture. Zhang Yang knew what his problem was, so he slowly took out 2 letters and handed them to Macalus's attendants.

Letter 1: Unknown forces entered the Forest of Warcraft, killed and injured a large number of high-level Warcraft and plundered many Warcraft cubs, and left behind a lot of broken equipment of the French Empire Corps, making a mess of the outer area of Warcraft Forest, and then luring a large group of high-level Warcraft from the east to Pompeii. Pompeii was badly wounded and many towns and villages were destroyed. At the same time, these unknown forces have mysteriously disappeared. Pompeii will be on guard and try his best to track down the whereabouts of those mysterious people.

Knights of the Thorn of the Frans - Sander

Letter 2: We have also seen many incidents of high-level demonic beasts attacking villages and towns these days. The Silver Pegasus Legion's trip was to hunt down the high-level demonic beasts that had entered the empire. That's all there is to it. I hope the general will think twice.

Ophelia Carmod.

Macalus also fell into a brief hesitation after reading the letter, should he believe the words of these Frenchmen? Although Pompeii and Fran bordered each other, the two empires had always lived relatively well. Because there is a common enemy, the Campas Orc Empire. But that's it for the here and now? How do you wrap it up?

"Thief, girl, are you good?" Zhang Yang suddenly raised his head and asked Maculus, Zhang Yang's eyes did not seem to look up at this time, although Macalus surpassed Zhang Yang too much in height and rank at this time. But he still looked at Macalus as equals, like a mighty warrior.

"Oh? Have you seen it? ~ I myself can believe your words for the time being, but how can I use these words to convince the nobles and people of the country? How can you prove that this is true? A letter of information alone is never enough. Where did the mysterious group mentioned in the letter go? Does it really exist? It's hard to stop today. ”

Maculus looked earnestly into Wright's eyes, not condescending, nor with the slightest contempt. This particular young man is not boring. It feels like a small lake in the middle of the woods.

"Valki is resting in the rear, how did you find her?"

Big guys are also curious.

"Oh, take me, say hello to her."

Zhang Yang spoke in a tone that seemed to be directed at an old friend, and Maculus was also very strange, he actually said a lot of words to this cold little guy in front of him today, this is not like him as usual? And Macalus didn't hate communicating with him from the bottom of his heart, although Macalus had noticed that this particular young man seemed to have some language barrier. Maybe it's because of his calmness? I don't know, it's good if you don't hate it, what do you do so much. Now his strength is still very weak, but he has his own pride and persistence in his heart. Maybe one day, this young man will become a strong man who can compete with him......

Maybe they talked for too long, which made some people feel uneasy and threatened. On the arrow tower on the southern wall of Jotham, several men wearing long cloaks and hoods quietly aimed their well-wound ballistas at Macalus! Next to him, the sergeant who had been controlling the ballista was lying in a pool of blood......

Zhang Yang saw that the negotiations seemed to have achieved results that exceeded expectations, and he also exhaled in his heart. Then he took out another piece of paper and handed it to the attendant next to him. Wright secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must find time to practice this language well, which is really inconvenient......

Letter 3: Lord Maculus, it is impossible to give up the matter directly. However, can we all back down a little and give each other a chance? Once your legion has conquered the city of Jotham, there will be no room for maneuver between the two countries. The situation could quickly escalate into war, and an all-out war would be in the interests of neither country.

Zhang Yang is still trying his last effort, this letter is indeed written by Zhang Yang himself, he doesn't want the world that has just been reborn to become a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and he doesn't want to see scorched earth and sleepless bones everywhere he goes......

Maculus also fell into deep thought, although Pompeii had a developed magical civilization and a strong national power. But after all, the country is too small, and the population is too small. If it is really a full-scale war with the vast and rich Fran, the emaciated earth dragon is bigger than the horse, although everyone knows that the flange has decayed and lost the glory of the knight empire of the past, but if there is really a war, Pompeii is probably not an opponent at all. Even if you can fight to lose both, it would be even worse to let the orcs of Campas pick up the cheap. However, it is really difficult to end it now, after all, Pompeii is also under great pressure at home......

"We will not withdraw our troops. The city of Jotan is something we must take, and there is no way to change it, but I don't want a lot of civilian casualties either. Tell me, how should it be? ”

Did you throw me the hot potato again? I don't want a lot of civilian casualties, which means that you can not care about it at all, right? Cunning guy, it's really hard to do...... Can I, Zhang Yang, make decisions for the people in Jotan City? Do I have this right? Ay......

"I will, truthfully, convey, Your Excellency, meaning, hope, we, don't have to, sword soldiers, see each other." Zhang Yang said with some heaviness. Maculus also only replied with an "um".

But just as Zhang Yang turned around and was about to go back, his body seemed to suddenly fall into an ice cellar! A deadly threat completely loomed over him! Feel the crazy fluctuations! The hairs all over my body trembled with fear! It's true...... Will die! This is a clearer feeling than when facing a strong man like Maculus just now! It's like the fangs of a mutated fire leopard at close range!! The moment he turned around, the corner of Zhang Yang's eyes swept to the city wall of Jotan City, where were there silver Pegasus warriors in bright armor on the city wall? Where are the heroic female generals? He saw only a strange group of black-armored soldiers stationing, and only silent and vigilant archers...... And also...... Arrow tower on the city wall!!

Boom! Boom! Boom! ~! Airplanes~~~~!

At this time! Weird screams!!

The ballistae on the four towers fired at the same time! The target is none other than Maculus, who is negotiating with Wright!! Of course~ Zhang Yang was also included in the attack range!! ……

Fortify the City Ballista: A giant bolt fixed to the city walls, wound with a steel cable and a large winch, a full-metal ballista weighing 6,000 pakris! Requires 4 skilled sergeants to control. Each winding time takes 5 minutes to leak. In particular, the crossbow arrows fired by the ballista are said to be crossbow arrows, but they are actually much thicker than ordinary spears! Like a child's arm. Nearly 2 meters long, fully rebar cast. The ballista is generally prepared to smash siege engines, kill large monsters, and even defend against flying monsters and dragons. You can imagine its power! As long as it is not a rank 5 or higher professional, the city defense ballista has a strong threat to it.

The tremendous force released by the steel cable winch gives the bolt a terrifying kinetic energy and extremely fast speed! When the sound of the fire is heard, the bolts are about to arrive in front of you! Maculus roared in anger, and his whole body exploded like a mad eruption! A layer of earthy yellow fighting qi was instantly released from the body, part of it was distributed on the armor, and part of it was transmitted to the weapon. Blessed with a fighting spirit, Maculus's muscles swelled so much that his armor creaked. At this time, Makalus was angry and terrified, the power of the ballista was completely enough to threaten his life! Is this a trap?? I didn't have time to think about Maculus's crazy dance with the giant hammer in his hand! While! While! Burst! …… Boom!! …… The desperate Makalus used the giant hammer in his hand to miss two crossbow arrows, and the third shot he could only dodge sideways, but one crossbow arrow still grazed his thigh armor and shot into the body of the hammertail earth dragon he sat down! The bolts nailed the beast to the ground! And when the two crossbow arrows that missed the target were shot diagonally into the ground, it was as if two shells had fallen to the ground! Stirred up more than 3 meters of dirt.

Maculus is already extraordinary, and he can dodge 3 crossbow arrows that are afraid of the city, and he can already be proud. But! A bolt from the rightmost turret was close to him! Seeing that he was about to shoot through his chest and abdomen in an instant, the dying hammertail earth dragon was his role model!

At this time, Makalus had just exerted his extraordinary performance, and he was at the juncture when the old force had gone to the new force to make a living, and the guards next to him were also desperately rushing over, but they were obviously not in a hurry. This blow came too suddenly! It's too aggressive! If you don't send it, it's just a shot! Just when Macalus was a little desperate, a slightly thin figure appeared in front of his eyes!
