When attacking a towering and strong fortress like the Shield of Gilda, the besieging side is in an absolutely geographically disadvantageous position, the throwing weapons of the besieging side cannot reach the city, the infantry and cavalry of the besieging side cannot touch the people in the city, and even the large-scale killing weapons on the battlefield of the magician are completely suppressed and cannot be used.

The magicians on the castle towers, whether they climbed up or walked on the ground, hit whoever they wanted.

And the magician below is hard, far away from the city tower, his magic can't reach it at all, close to the city tower, the archers, catapults, and spearthrowers on the city tower use the height difference to launch a powerful attack, and they can kill a group of magicians in minutes, you know, even if it is a sixth-order martial artist, in the face of the rain of arrows, spears, and boulders, they have to retreat.

Just a barrier, a height difference, can bring about such a huge gap in strategic position, and this is the meaning of a fortress.

In fact, there is no way to make up for the difference in height and barriers, such as the very common siege weapon - siege towers.

The so-called siege tower is a tower-shaped siege device reinforced with metal and wood, there are wheels below to push, as long as the siege tower leans against the city wall, the soldiers in the south can climb to the top of the tower through the ladder inside the siege tower, and directly cross the head of the Gilda's shield wall, but unfortunately, after the Gilda's shield pulls up the suspension bridge, the whole city is surrounded by an artificially dug moat, the river is deep and wide, and the siege tower can't pass at all, so the south has to use a ladder to climb the city.

Since the southern border has the courage to attack the shield of Gilda, it must also have quite a consciousness, the consciousness of sacrifice, even so, such a tragic sacrifice is still too heavy, the prince of Shiji and the four princes and the marquis of the southern border all frowned, these soldiers who died bravely are all strong soldiers who have survived many bloody battles, so it is really distressing for them to sacrifice before they have climbed the tower.

Some of the officers in the south also began to climb the ladder, most of them high-ranking warriors, strong and aggressive, but even so, they fell one after another under the flying arrows, falling rocks, and magic.

Hundreds of ladders were crawling full of people, and they could no longer squeeze in, so some brave men bit their swords in their mouths and began to climb the steep, moss-covered city wall with their bare hands, and for a time, the city wall was densely crawled with soldiers, like ants crawling all over a sugar cube, the situation was spectacular and somewhat terrifying.

The arrows on the tower were gone, the spears on the tower were gone, the hot oil on the tower was spilled, and the stones on the tower were thrown away, and the soldiers from the north who defended the city began to engage in a white-knuckle battle with the soldiers from the south who had ascended the city.

As soon as the golden lion Ophoros stretched out his hand, the golden-white light attribute conjured up a huge beast claw, and with a sweep, the southern soldiers on the fan-shaped area with a radius of thirty meters on the city wall were swept away.

The battle lasted for three hours, and beneath the walls, the remains of the southern soldiers were so numerous that they could be built into a second wall, blood staining the moat of Gilda's shield red.

Stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, the first batch of southern soldiers finally killed the city, and the northern soldiers defending the city did not give an inch, stubbornly resisting to the death, and the human body on the city was soon also fortified, and the two sides stepped on the wounded and the dead to continue to fight, and the screams continued one after another.

Ophoros led the officers of the North in bloody battles on the towers, and like the magicians on the city walls, most of them were also the elite selected from the four groups of Scepters, Holy Grails, Swords, and Star Coins, all of whom were fierce warriors and proficient in white-knuckle combat.

Soon, the southern soldiers who climbed the tower were suppressed, and there were thousands more corpses on the tower, most of them from the south, and a small part of them were soldiers from the north.

The southern frontier was repulsed, and then it returned, and the waves of attack seemed to never stop, and the city's defenses were tested by a storm.

Witnessing the tragic death of their compatriots and enduring the ravages of their enemies on their own land, the defenders of the Gilda's Shield burned with rage in their breasts, showing unstoppable tenacity and tenacity, and the waves of fierce attacks of the southern siegers were shattered by the desperate counterattacks of the defenders, like the tide crashing against the reef in vain, leaving only corpses.

At the top of the city, weapons collided violently, sparks flew and blood spurted, flowing into a small river, drenching everything into a greasy red.

The soldiers on both sides were red-eyed and mad, their spears were broken, their blades were blunt, their daggers were broken, their arms were gone, their legs were lost, their eyes were blind, their chests were pierced, and their bodies were pierced by arrows, and the soldiers still squirmed tenaciously in the pile of corpses, waiting for an opportunity to bite the throat of the enemy.

In the center of the Southern Alliance, above the chariot, Prince Shiji's hand was trembling slightly.

The glorious ancient city in front of it is like a gluttonous monster, devouring one legion after another, but its bottomless abyss-like stomach has not yet been satisfied, how many sacrifices will it have to pay to take this city?

On the other hand, Ophoros, as the general defending the city, is also becoming more and more heavy, although the defenders have suppressed all the offensive in the south, it is clear that the balance of battle is tilting towards the south.

After fighting for such a long time, only about 80,000 troops were dispatched in the south, and there were still nearly 200,000 troops that had not been dispatched, but these soldiers defending the city on the city tower were already physically and mentally exhausted and covered with bruises, and if this continued, the form would definitely deteriorate further.

What worries Ophoros even more is whether there will be other variables on the southern side that will accelerate the deterioration of the form.

Soon, his fears became true, and a black cloud appeared in the southern sky, symbolizing death and fear.

Ophoros knew that it was reinforcements from the South, but what class could fly in the air?

This time in the Civil War, Bode, who was the lord of the southern border, insisted on withdrawing from the Coalition Army, so it was naturally impossible for Bode's Dragoon Legion to participate in the war, so the only type of troops that could fly in the sky was the Griffin Legion "Hellfire".

Two years ago, the Griffon Legion of Thor was wiped out by the "Sky Ladder" in the North, and it has not been recovered, but the Tyre still retains a Hellfire Legion, and it is this legion that appears in the sky at this time.

The black clouds on the horizon swept at a very fast speed, and flew closer, and it was only when everyone could see their strange faces, and the beasts hovering in the sky, with the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and the tail of a scorpion, looked extremely terrifying.
