Chapter 160: A Matter of Time
On the other side, I found a large group of magicians, and sang a big magic together, smashing such a big stone from the sky, if it smashed in the middle, the wall would basically be demolished, and this level of attack would be more or less rewarding. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So the person on the other side must think very well, this gift must be received if you don't accept it, it depends on what posture you use to receive it.
"They'll probably think we're putting up a shield defense on our side, as mages usually do." Now that I have something in my stomach, Kahlil says, I feel less hungry, and the side effect is that my food is less delicious.
"So they were very blatant, and they set up a posture to chant together, and there was a long time between the first magic reaction and the final magic formation, and they just made it clear to us that we didn't dare to come out and attack their magicians, probably the magicians brought by the latter army." Karil continued, "It's easy to get disturbed when chanting this kind of big magic, and I don't even need to get too close if possible, throw a spell nearby, and drop it anywhere in their mage sequence to make the spell in this chant collapse. ”
"But we can't go." Angus let out a disdainful snort from his mouth, not knowing who he meant to whom.
"Yes, we won't rush if they do, if we do, we will definitely lose some troops, the defense in the city will definitely be weakened, if we don't rush, it's a big magic smash over, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, they can earn anywhere" Kaliel slowly stuffed a spoonful of bread paste into his mouth: "Hmm...... It's obvious that we won't rush, now the gap is too big, relying on geographical advantages is the most reasonable behavior, there is no way to take risks here, so they sang a big magic without any scruples, to be honest, the effect is really good. ”
If it weren't for a backer who could take that big guy in, this attack would be really hard to defend against.
"That's lucky," Carlil said with a smile, but it only drained the mana without causing any real damage, and if there were any after-effects, it was to give little Isse enough food to satisfy her taste when she got home, and to take her out to play.
"Well, if they choose a large area of dispersed attacks such as meteor fire showers, it will cause me a lot of trouble, but unfortunately they want to do the maximum direct damage to the fortified fortifications, and with such a meteorite, a single target is much easier to deal with than a group of broken stones." Kahlil touched the earrings on her ears, and thanked her anyway: "I used something outside of the regular spell system, and now the big meteorite ...... Well, it's still there, it's just not with us, and you can understand that I threw it far, far away and it didn't affect us, and that's the best thing we can do, otherwise."
"If you're not there, will the magicians of Zhuzhou be able to withstand this attack?" Qing Xi interjected and asked.
"Well, actually, it's okay, but they'll release protective spells like shields to force the meteorite next, which is actually transferring part of the attack on the fortress to the mage team, and there will be damage anyway, and the loss will definitely be greater than what I am now." After Kahlil finished speaking, she shook her ears proudly: "That's how they think about it, wishful thinking is crackling, anyway, you can't stop me, I will either hit your city or your people with a stone, no matter how you look at it, it's a very happy thing, if the siege equipment didn't arrive, it wouldn't be just a matter of stones!" ”
Siege things, catapults, heavy crossbows or something, even if there is Raymond's new technology bonus, it just makes them more lethal, hydraulic systems and the like can make these weapons have higher attack power, but it doesn't say that they can run faster, in the end, you still have to rely on manpower to bring these big guys in.
And carrying this kind of thing over the mountains and through the snow is really a headache, even if the two vanguard troops of Sunderland are desperately urging, and the people and horses leading the team behind are desperately rushing, how fast should they be carried or how can they fly over out of thin air.
"Not magic? What's that, exactly? ”
Angus looked Carlil up and down, at the foxtail ornament on her chest, at the small earrings pinned to her ears, and asked again and again.
"A ...... Well...... Magic props are also a product of alchemy and magic, but it itself is connected to another dimension, as long as enough magic support is provided, I can open a passage in any place here, and combine this and that space, but unfortunately its demand for magic is very, very huge, you can also see ......" Karil said as she pointed to herself: "Last night I gathered our men to merge the magic power to activate it, and it only lasted for a while, Although it is not a big problem to open a small opening to put things in ordinary times, but as soon as you want to open a huge passage, the mana consumption will immediately increase exponentially, and you can't afford it at all, and you can't afford it at all. ”
Angus nodded and said, "Okay then." ”
In any case, Angus still expects this thing to work, the ability to take on that kind of giant attack forcefully, if it can be directly on the battlefield...... It was devastating.
But at the thought that such a group of people yesterday and Karil herself could only sustain that moment, Angus immediately lost his mind about this thing, it was too extravagant to use it.
"Anyway," Kahlil continued, "they probably won't be launching a constructive attack for a few days, and we can take a little breather these days, firstly because their mages are also very expensive, and secondly, because they can't figure out what we used last night, and they have an advantage in themselves, so that they have no reason to attack rashly, no matter what angle they think about it, waiting for their siege troops to attack together is the best option." ”
After all, where are the number of people and equipment, no matter what tricks they play here, there are so many people, and the equipment is not as good as theirs, and the opposite Senderland is not in a hurry at all, waiting for his own people to arrive and run over head-on, it is not an easy thing.
"How many days will this last?" Angus asked, inexplicably developing a habit of subconsciously feeling that he could get an answer from Carlil, or at least a suggestion about the answer.
But of course, this depends on when their siege force is ready, in the end, their commander suddenly thought of a whim of what kind of clever plan can be broken, and it will definitely be broken as soon as possible, who knows how many days it can last.
"I don't know" Kahlil shook her head very dryly, I don't know that there is anything wrong with this matter at all: "It's better to ask me than to ask Honglian, she should be able to find out the news in this regard, but the distance is too far, and it will take a long time to go back and forth, and the value of this news is not so great at that time." ”
Angus thought about it for a while, he gently rubbed the tip of his chin with his right hand, in fact, he himself is still a bit of a human-looking guy, and if you usually pay attention to it, he is still a very handsome guy...... It's just a pity that it doesn't have much effect on Karil.
"So what do you estimate the maximum time?" Angus asked, looking down, a question popping up in his own contemplation.
"Up to three days"
Karil's answer was categorical.
This is long enough, it will not be more than two days to return from the valley where Carlil launched the sneak attack, and now that these few days have passed, no matter how slow the siege equipment moves, it should have arrived, and if it is less than three days, then Carlil can only suspect that they have some conspiracy, and will not consider the possibility that they are still on the way.
"So sure?"
Angus asked, frowning.
"Yes, this is the limit, it can't be longer than this, if there is no attack for three days, I can only consider that the commander of the other side is trying to use some related tactics and deliberately hold the troops."
Kahlil said as she scooped up the last spoonful of soup base in her bowl, looked at it with some unsatisfied eyes, and fed it to her mouth.
"That's not good news." Angus said with his head bowed, his voice low as if talking to himself.
"But that's the closest thing I can get to the truth," Carlil tossed the spoon into the empty bowl, pushed it forward, leaned back comfortably in her chair, stretched, and asked, "Is there any water?" ”
Qing Ci glanced at her, stood up and replied, "I'll get it." ”
"Thank you." Karil shook her ears.
Filling his stomach, the whole person was a lot more comfortable, and his spirit had recovered a lot, in contrast, Angus felt that there were several terrible mountains on his body, and the problems he faced were overwhelming.
"Actually, Morton and I have already discussed...... Well...... Angus said slowly, "The work in the country has been preliminarily completed, and the troops of the last two counties will soon be able to rush to support, if we can reach us, we will have almost twice the current strength, and twice the current mage regiment, and we will also be replenished with heavy weapons." ”
In this way, the pressure will suddenly be much less, and with the Ice and Snow Goddess Fortress, it may be a little difficult to fight the opponent back here, but there should be no problem holding the defensive line.
"Very well, so how long is it going to take?"
Carlil asked, and Angus had a strange calm look on his face as he said this, making it clear that he was saying some good news first, and then following the rhythm of the next sentence.
"The initial preparation was insufficient, but in short, considering all aspects of the situation, we must hold this place...... Five days. ”
Angus let out a long sigh of relief and got up from the bed. (To be continued.) )
