Chapter 360: An Unbelievable War
It wasn't just the sheer size of the city that stunned everyone, but two more reasons.
The first reason is that in the center of the city, that is, in the most central part of the city, there is a very tall building, this building looks very similar to the religious buildings found in other cities on the surface, but there is only one religious building in the city, that is, this tall and incredible building, looking down from the sky, the main body of the building is about 6000 meters in diameter and more than 8500 meters in height, like an incomparably strong giant standing in the center of the city.
It is conceivable that such a large building is shocking to people, especially in this primitive civilization era when the civilization has only entered the industrial revolution, relying on simple manpower, how did they build such a building? You know, even in the mechanical age after the Industrial Revolution, it was not easy to build such a tall building.
The second reason is that there is a war going on in the city, an incomparably shocking offensive and defensive battle. The entire battlefield is the perimeter of the city, and of course it is the city that is defending, and the other side of the attack is unknown.
The people involved in this war were hundreds of thousands at a glance, and the army of the attacking side alone was lined up into ten phalanxes, each phalanx was about 10,000 people, and the number of defenders was slightly inferior, but the two sides fought fiercely relying on the protection of the city walls. Huge stone balls thrown by countless trebuchets flew back and forth in the sky, mixed with blazing fireballs, and the climbing ladder was densely packed with attacking soldiers, and the two sides fought to the death on the top of the city. At all moments, wounded or dead bodies fell from the high walls, and cries, shouts, cheers, the clashing of weapons, and the screams of people echoed through the air.
The crowd watched all this in amazement, none of them expected to witness such a huge war in this situation. Everything on the battlefield is so real. It was so cruel and intense, which was incomparable to any movie, even Tang Le looked straight at it, when he saw a general in armor cutting off the enemy's head with a weapon at the head of the city, and the blood spurting several meters high from the neck cavity of the lost head was drenched all over the general's face, and the general just wiped it with his hand. Even when he licked the blood on the side of his mouth with his tongue, and then continued to swing his weapon towards the next one, Tang Le couldn't hold back any longer. Holding his throat, he let out a burst of retching, and his face turned pale.
In fact, not only Donle, but also the rest of the people are not very good, Kevin. Adams' legs trembled slightly. There was no blood on his face. And Luo Yan's hands were cold. Subconsciously twisted his head to the side, holding Su Yichen's right hand beside him with both hands, his whole body was trembling slightly, even Su Yichen felt nauseous, if it wasn't for his strong will, I'm afraid he would have vomited out as quickly as Tang Le.
Among the crowd, only Gao Jian performed a little better, after all, he had experienced cruel life and death in his previous work. But even so, Gao Jian had never witnessed such a scene of fighting, but in any case, it was much stronger than the others.
As for Su Li. As an intelligent being, she is the only one who can maintain a normal mind, and she stares intently at the image while continuing to operate the supreme authority of the small shuttle through her intelligent brain.
Who is the aggressor on both sides of the war, who is the warrior who defends the homeland, or who is right and who is wrong, this is meaningless to Su Yichen and them, but it is not a bad thing for them to meet this huge war in some ways.
To put it simply, it is best to measure the stage of a civilization, or to find out the true level of science and technology of this civilization, which can be best reflected in war. Other cosmic civilizations do not know, at least from the perspective of the earth civilization, every war of human beings will promote the further development of science and technology, and in the war, they will also use the highest technology representing their civilization to achieve the goal of winning the opponent.
Therefore, when everyone strongly restrained and witnessed the reaction brought about by the brutal war, they once again continued to set their eyes on the battlefield in front of them, observing and measuring this war and the civilization stage of this primitive civilization from a scientific perspective.
Generally speaking, from the perspective of the battlefield, there is not much gap between the civilization stage of this civilization and the previous judgment, in the battlefield they did not find the existence of thermal weapons, and the two sides in the battle used basically cold weapons. In addition, the mode of warfare of this civilization is already very mature, there are ordinary infantry, and the infantry is divided into light infantry and heavy infantry, and the armor worn and the weapons used are also slightly different. There are also long-range attack classes such as archers, crossbowmen, and trebuchets, as well as cavalry, except that instead of using a horse, they are horse-like riding animals, which are larger and stronger than horses, with a thick mane and a sharp horn on their head, which looks a bit like a unicorn in Western mythology.
Because it was an urban offensive and defensive battle, Su Yichen and the others did not see the duel of cavalry, so they could not judge how different this riding beast was from the horses on the earth, but judging from their appearance, they were more powerful.
"What's that?!"
Just when everyone was evaluating the equipment, formation, attack ability, and scientific and technological level of both sides of the war, someone suddenly shouted, and when they looked intently, the picture in the image began to zoom in, and several black dots appeared from one side of the battlefield, and these black dots were not on the ground, but in the air.
"This is a dragon?" When Kevin. Adams' eyes couldn't help but widen when he saw what was flying clearly, and Su Yichen and the others were also taken aback, because they did see the dragon.
Several...... No! Six dragons to be exact, like the winged dragons in Western mythology, each dragon spreads its wings more than 100 meters long, and its size is incredible.
What was even more surprising was that the dragons were clearly controlled by humans, because the bodies of these animals had saddles for mounting, and on the saddles sat two samurai in armor, the one sitting in front of them was manipulating the direction of the dragon, and the one sitting in the back held a weapon in his hand and had a crossbow-like equipment on his shoulder.
With a fierce scream, the six dragons quickly flew over the battlefield and appeared when they saw the dragons. The attacking side of the city let out an earth-shattering cry, which was clearly filled with excitement and fanaticism, and at the same time morale was high. The intensity of the attack is also greater.
As for the defending side, they panicked a little when they saw the appearance of the dragon, and the generals who led the team at the head of the city brandished their weapons and shouted at their soldiers, as if to cheer up their subordinates, but they still couldn't stop the frightened look of the defending side looking at the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the dragons were above the city, and one of them, under the control of its riders, began to swoop downward, and its target was precisely the fierce general that Tang Le had seen before slashing and slashing the enemy.
The dragon's swooping speed is extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, the huge wings flapped, and with a gust of wind, the dragon arrived in front of the general's eyes. There is no place to hide in the city, let alone a place to dodge at the speed of the dragon. The general saw the dragon pounce. With a hint of panic in his expression, but without any fear, he gritted his teeth and brandished his weapon to meet him directly.
Like an eagle that swoops down, the dragon roars downward. The wind stirred by the wings made it almost untenable. The general's eyes were fixed on the direction where the dragon was coming, and at that moment he suddenly flashed to the left, and the weapon in his hand slashed hard to the right, only to hear the sound of a bell, although the weapon that could easily cut off the enemy's head cut the dragon's right claw, but only left a white spot on the dragon's claw, the general was suddenly startled, and his steps were faster. Dodged the dragon's claw attack at a fraction of a centimeter angle.
No one seemed to have taken advantage of this lightning fight, and the dragon didn't catch the target. And the general failed to inflict damage on the dragon. But at this moment, just as the general breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was dodging the attack, he only saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and then a cold and a pain in his chest, when he came back to his senses, he felt that he actually flew up, and stared at his chest with incredible eyes, a sharp spear pierced directly through his armor and body, and the other end of the spear held the hand of the samurai sitting on the dragon, this samurai looked at him with the cold eyes of the dead man, The spear in his hand directly lifted the general's body into the air with the power of the dragon's air, and then with a flick of his wrist, the general's body that had been passing quickly fell into the air at a height of 100 meters, and fell ...... the city head with an exclamation.
The appearance of the dragon made the balance of the war tilt towards the attacking side, and the attacking side, which had not been able to open the situation, saw that the dragon killed one of the opponent's generals with one attack, and their morale suddenly became even higher. Of course, the defending side was also affected, and if it weren't for the desperate resistance of several other generals with their personal guards, shouting loudly for the soldiers to defend to the death, perhaps the city would have fallen.
Six dragons swooped back and forth in the air, causing chaos at the head of the city, and the attackers took advantage of the opportunity to have another group of soldiers on the top of the city, and with the help of the dragons, began to gain a foothold, and then covered the city in all directions.
Seeing that the position at the head of the city was about to be lost, the defenders were also in a hurry, and several huge crossbows began to fire at the dragon in the air, but the effect was not very good. You must know that the dragon's hard-as-iron body is not injured even if it is cut with a direct weapon, not to mention that although the giant crossbow is powerful, the launch speed is slow, and it is extremely difficult to shoot at a single moving target in the air, and the giant crossbow launched either falls in the air or is easily dodged by the dragon, and it has no effect at all.
"It's over, the city is changing hands."
Gao Jianchang sighed, the situation in front of him was already clear, after the dragon appeared, the advantage of attacking the side was obvious, and the final fall of the city head was just a matter of time. As soon as the city fell, the city's defenses fell into the hands of the attackers, and the gates of the city were completely open to the enemy.
Gao Jian's judgment was agreed by everyone, thinking of the next scene where the city was destroyed and even the massacre occurred, Luo Yan couldn't help but close her eyes, she was a woman after all, no matter how strong she was, there was still weakness in her heart, not to mention that what they saw was such a cruel war.
And just when everyone thought so, there was a sudden change on the battlefield, and a man in a gorgeous robe suddenly appeared on the head of the city from somewhere, this person did not have any weapons in his hand, like a nobleman who went to the wrong place and ran to the center of the fiercest battlefield in a panic. Judging from his expression, there was no fear, but his expression was very solemn, there were dozens of samurai in armor guarding around him, when he saw this person appear, the attacking soldiers split up and shouted in his direction to kill, the guarding samurai did not meet him, just to protect this person, just when everyone thought that the next scene this person and the guardian would be hacked to death by the tide of enemies, I saw this person rush forward and shouted, and then raised his hand and pointed, Without warning, the nearly 100 soldiers in front of him were as if they had been shot by an invisible bullet, and their bodies slammed into the ground.
This change made everyone stunned suddenly, no one understood what was going on, let alone how this person killed so many soldiers with one finger?
Just when everyone was puzzled, a huge dragon roared from the sky, and the dragon's target was precisely the location of this person.
The man squinted and looked up in the direction of the dragon in the sky, but his feet did not move, when the dragon came to the sky above his head, and was about to dive, this person also raised his hand to point at the dragon, and the knight sitting on the dragon's back hurriedly pulled the reins, and the dragon's huge body flashed to one side, although most of it flashed, but it still hurt the dragon, and only heard the scream of the dragon's injury in the air, and the dragon in the air flew much harder than before, and he lost the ease of the appearance just now, and the flying posture was a little crooked, the huge wings are also a little weak.
The dragon was wounded, and the rest of the dragons let out angry shouts at the same time, and immediately abandoned other targets and attacked people from all directions. This time, however, the dragons, including the knights who controlled them, were noticeably more cautious, and they simply skimmed over the man quickly, or made a swooping gesture and immediately changed their trajectory, while the samurai sitting behind him lowered his spear and took up his crossbow-like weapon and fired at the man.
The man was still standing in place, guarded by guards, preoccupied with the blow coming from the air. The dragons hurriedly dodged as his hand pointed in the air, and for a moment it seemed as if he had the upper hand, but if you looked closely at the expression on his face, it became more and more solemn, and as time passed, sweat gradually ooz......ed from his forehead.
Su Yichen and the others were simply dumbfounded, they were stunned and looked at each other, could this be in the Lord of the Rings World? Is this gorgeously dressed man a magician? If he wasn't a magician, then how could this be the case?
In order to figure out what was going on, the small shuttle began to lower its altitude downward, and at the same time monitored the energy and spatial changes in the direction of the person's finger, but the monitoring had just begun, due to the reduction in the height of the small shuttle, a giant dragon in the air accidentally discovered its existence, perhaps thinking that the small shuttle might be the enemy's air power, and the knight who controlled the dragon did not hesitate to make the dragon change direction, and pounced directly at the location ......of the small shuttle. (To be continued......)
