Chapter 490: Dangerous City
Black Dragon Kaka's sleep during this time is not very good, generally speaking, older creatures will have some negative states, even dragons are no exception, Kaka ...... It's really old.
It's not just sleep that's making it depressing, though.
Not long ago, a small bug sneaked into its territory and managed to escape. Of course, Kaka had confirmed that it was a Green Elf, and it had been considering whether to go to Green Elf territory to ask for some compensation for the past few days.
Dragon, it's nature to like treasures, and you don't need to care about the life and death of a small bug, but I don't know why, it has not even been interested in going out to collect treasures over the years, maybe it's really old?
Maybe...... What else is the reason?
I don't know if it's too sensitive, Kaka always has a feeling of danger, so in the past two days, he hasn't made up his mind to find the trouble of that little bug.
"Get a good night's sleep, those green elves won't be able to run anyway." Kaka gave herself a reason to fall into a deep sleep again.
But this time the sleep was still not good...... Because, Kaka sensed the death of those green-eyed blood bats outside.
"These guys are so stupid that they ......"
Kaka muttered and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly woke up to the fact that those green-eyed blood bats were actually working as guards here, and no other creature dared to approach them in its territory...... Not to mention killing these blood bats.
"Damn it!"
Kaka was furious, and it roared, and the long dragon groan shook the entire cavern. The huge body flew up at the same time, and the dragon's wings spread out, flying out of the dragon sky.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
At the moment when the black dragon flew out of the lair, dozens of magic fell on it like a storm, although the dragon clan was born with strong magic resistance, but those depend on what kind of magic and who will perform it.
Bang!
The black dragon's huge body was smashed to the ground, and blood flowed down the hundreds of scales on his back as the dirt flew. The ground was also smashed into several large craters.
"Damn! When did the Three Days Tribe have so many Magisters?! ”
Kaka was extremely aggrieved in his heart, if the Green Elf Alliance really joined forces to attack, it might really have to consider moving. But it knows. The Tribe of Three Days is not valued by the Green Elf Alliance. Knowing that it was here could weaken the strength of the Three Days Tribe. And even if the Green Elf Alliance attacks, I'm afraid it will lose most of its strength, and those will come. The end of the Green Elves may be upon us.
But. Today is clearly ...... Wrong. The breath ...... As a dragon that has lived long enough, it knows a lot of secrets, including humans, green elves, and barbarians who attacked it just now. And also...... It's clearly the breath of the goblin clan, and it's also an abyss goblin!
The dragon clan is a superior race, and it has always had an absolute sense of superiority.
However, when it comes to facing the elves, they don't have much of a sense of superiority left...... The goblin clan is known as the god family. In ancient times, the dragon clan was a little worse than the goblin clan, and there was a natural suppression, which was a bloodline memory, and it was impossible to get rid of it at all.
Just as Kaka fell to the ground, more than a dozen figures pounced on her from different directions, and for a moment the air was filled with the screaming sound of her fighting skills.
Bang! Bang! Bang......
Although it was a sudden blow, Kaka's reaction was still good, his body was swinging, more than a dozen figures were knocked away one after another, and there were more than a dozen wounds on his body...... But it doesn't matter anymore. Because suddenly there was a 'boom' sound in the air...... It was an attack by the snipers and sharpshooters brought by Hathaway, their bullets and arrows had a demon-breaking effect, and the warheads and arrow clusters were coated with potions specially refined for the dragons.
Although these wounds were not as large as those on the black dragon's back, they caused Kaka more pain, and the dragon's strength was dwarfed by these wounds - the wounds on his back were showing signs of healing, but these wounds seemed to be more serious, and they also caused Kaka extreme pain. And the worst thing is that half of its body is outside at the moment, and the other half of its body is inside, and it doesn't even have a chance to dodge in the face of the next attack.
Call~
Kaka swung his head, spewed dragon breath, and then took the opportunity to fly backwards...... After all, it is old, and it does not have the courage to face the enemy, and only wants to hold on with the solidity of the lair and the attack methods of the dragons.
Prosperous......
Before Kaka could retreat into the dragon's lair, a heavy footstep sounded, and Kaka's heart suddenly palpitated, and subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a dozen earth elements rushing towards it in great strides.
"Get out of the ......"
Kaka instantly understood the enemy's intentions, and a look of fear suddenly appeared in the dragon's eyes, and he quickly retreated into the cave.
……
When dozens of crashing vans arrived at the city of Seine, south of the province of Corica, surrounded by rebels, almost all the soldiers of the Crusader Regiment felt their chests suddenly tighten, and their hearts suddenly became as cold as the leather armor outside. It's just that there is only a dead end in retreat in this situation, and the super running ability of the rebel soldiers is enough to dwarf even the human cavalry, except for the knights of the Knights, I am afraid that no class can compete with their mobility and durability.
The rugged ramming arms of the giant ramming vehicles are raised high, and the extremely elastic magical metal emits a strong smell of rigidity, and each ramming car has three ramming arms, which use magic springs to convert rotational force into striking force.
The heavy impact hammer is made of special heavy metal smelting and casting, the force of the spring burst out and the inertia of the heavy metal impact hammer are enough to open the mountain and crack the stone, and the hard bluestone city wall is not much different from the ordinary mud wall and earth tile under the bombardment of this crash car, and it only needs to continuously rotate and launch a bombardment, whether it is a large bluestone and basalt wall, only collapse and collapse.
Compared with the original rock-throwing car, this kind of crash car uses the power of the magic metal machine spring and the heavy metal strike effect is several times higher.
Ferdigan subconsciously clenched the scimitar around his waist, and the slight sweat sent chills down his spine. As a veteran of the battle. He had never been so nervous.
The appearance of dozens of crashing cars almost destroyed the will of the soldiers on the city walls, and lost their defensive advantage, what did they do to suppress the rebels? All soldiers thought of the word defeat, which meant death.
If it weren't for Ferdigand's decisive killing of two soldiers who had shaken the morale of the army and tried to escape. He was sure that the fortress was already in chaos and fled for his life. Speaking of which, there is no other hand, the Holy Cross Legion is indeed quite far behind the other legions, more than a year of training has not allowed them to grow into qualified warriors, perhaps only after this battle, they can bravely face the provocation of the rebel army.
Beads of sweat oozed from Ferdigan's forehead, and he knew that this was the hardest battle of his life.
This time the rebel attack seemed to be a little different from the previous ones, and the St. Peter's fortress was mysteriously lost. The underground coalition swarmed in. The Southern Legion was besieged by an unprecedented frenzied siege by the rebel coalition, and more than 30,000 soldiers from the corps commander down were all wiped out, and less than 1,000 escaped from the sky, and the most fatal thing was that the palace mage regiment and the Bauhinia Legion were also severely hit. Especially the Court Wizards. More than a dozen magicians and magicians were killed. There are also some magicians who are injured, and this loss is irreparable.
In order to prevent the rebels from going deeper, with their newly formed combat strength, one can imagine how they can withstand the frenzied rebels. So the Empire has taken away seven of the ten magicians and magic apprentices originally allocated to the Holy Cross Legion, leaving only one magician and two magic apprentices, and can only rely on these three people to resist these howling rebel soldiers in the wilderness under the city walls? Can you destroy the crash cars that could wreak havoc on the fortress beneath you? Ferdigan didn't dare to think further.
"My lord, what are we going to do?" The officer next to him seemed to ask the hearts of the officers who were gathered around Ferdigan, and no one would believe that the Holy Cross Legion would have any hope of seeing such a large-scale dispatch of the rebels.
The officers of the Holy Cross were already considering the brutality of the battle, and the dozens of crashing cars had completely extinguished the officers' hopes of using the fortifications of the fortifications to stop the rebels, and the only three of the court mages were left here to support the situation.
Ignoring the officers around him, Ferdigan tried to take a deep breath of cool air from the wilderness to calm his mind as much as possible, now he could not give them any answer, he needed to carefully evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and from which he could assess the combat effectiveness of both sides.
Although the rebels far outnumbered the Holy Cross Legion, they did look terrifying.
But through observation, he also found that these infantry were inferior to the regular army of the empire in which they had served before, and it was clear that this group of rebel troops was not the most elite unit of the rebels.
Ferdigan deduced that the ordinary troops who broke through the fortress from the south and went straight to the center of the province of Corica to kill the Southern Corps were the main forces of the rebel coalition army, otherwise with the combat effectiveness of the Southern Corps, which was known as the first army of the Empire, even if the rebels broke through the St. Peter's Fortress, it would not have ended in such a tragic end.
He is a veteran soldier who came out of the Southern Corps, and he has a deep understanding of the strong combat effectiveness and tenacious fighting spirit that the Southern Corps is proud of.
The warriors of the Holy Cross were not afraid of the invading rebels.
Although most of the soldiers of the Holy Cross were recruits drawn from the previous year or two of the reservists, many of these reservists were veterans who had retired from the Southern Corps, and as tensions in the South grew, these veterans were re-recruited to form the Holy Cross Legion, in which Ferdigan relied on these veterans to quickly get the troops into shape, and the veterans served as junior officers and heads, and gradually grew up during his career as a town in the southern part of the empire.
It should be said that although the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the Southern Army, Ferdigan believes that he has the strength to fight the rebel army, at least relying on the defense of the tall and strong city walls, Ferdigan believes that it can fully cope with the enemy's conventional attacks.
Ferdigan even wondered if the defenders were deliberately exaggerating the rebels' fighting prowess, or if the rebels had assembled one or two crash trucks through some smuggling channels to boost their morale. But now it seems that he had made a mistake, if he had known that the enemy army would use the crash car on such a large scale, Ferdigan would have risked disobeying orders and would never have agreed to the Empire to drain the seven magicians and magic apprentices, and now he was faced with the problem of how to destroy the deadly crash car.
It is not easy to destroy this kind of ramming vehicle with a traditional catapult, and the rebels are obviously taking precautions, wrapping thick leather on the ramming vehicle to reduce the force of external strikes, and even laying a rattan net in front of the ramming vehicle, which can effectively prevent the ramming vehicle from being damaged by long-range strike weapons such as the catapult when it reaches the city wall, and then remove the rattan net when it reaches the city wall, and then launch an offensive. The rebels are not stupid either. This method is simple, but it is quite effective.
The catapult could not be used, so the only hope was pinned on the magicians, and now the only ones who could help him were the magician and the two magic apprentices around him. Ferdigan didn't have the slightest bottom in his heart. He had to get the support of the magicians.
"Mr. Tuca. What do you think of this battle? "The rebels in the distance are already starting to line up, and officers on tall horses keep coming out of the ranks waving small flags to signal the soldiers to follow the pace and formation, damn guys. Why did people betray the Empire, Ferdigan felt a pang of bitterness and anger in his heart, but he found that no matter what his mood was, there was actually nothing he could do.
"Lord Fedigen, you're the manager, we're just cooperating with you, what you need us to do, as long as we can do it, we're going to do our best." The pale, thin mage was shrouded in a wide mage's robe.
It looked a little thin, but the gloomy gaze emanating from the other party's deep eyes was enough to prove that this magician was not the kind of promiscuous person, and the two magic apprentices beside him were obviously a little different, and it could be seen from the nervous expressions of the two of them that they were also frightened by the powerful momentum of the rebels.
"Some of them are flying. Sir, I don't want to hide anything from you. I hope you'll give me a promise that if we can destroy half of the rebel-operated rammers in front of us, I think we might have a chance to repel this wave of rebel attacks, if we can't. Then it would be pointless for us to persist here, and we would have to do our best. Ferdigan stared at the other man's eyes and said word by word.
"Well, Mr. Ferdigan, have you counted how many crash cars there are now?" The pale mage was not intimidated by Ferdigan's words, and he was calm.
"It's about thirty, and I guess the rebels used about forty crash cars this time."
Ferdigan reasoned based on his own visual observations.
"It seems that we have no other choice, and now we can only retreat to death, so we might as well fight. I like gambling very much, so let's take a gamble, but the stakes are all the lives of all of us in the city. The pale mage's eyes glowed with a madness, and he grinned in an indescribably abrupt and strange look.
"Okay, Mr. Tuca, let's take a gamble, I don't know what you want?" Ferdigan gritted his teeth and glared at a little redden. There is no turning back. I can only hope for this magician who behaves a little strangely.
"Quite simply, they're going to focus on crashing cars a little bit. When the walls are breached, don't rush to fill the gap, they will definitely want to widen the gap, and I will only strike when their crash trucks concentrate on this, until then, you can only use the soldiers to keep an eye on the rebels' attack, otherwise once the rebels detect our intentions, we will fail, and the end will be the end of everyone's doom. ”
Tuka smiled leisurely, and Bai Sensen's teeth were exposed, so that Ferdigan suddenly noticed that the other party's two pairs of canine teeth seemed to be a little special, particularly sharp and dazzling, but the other party also seemed to sense something, and immediately closed his mouth.
At this time, Ferdigan didn't have much thought about other things, in his mind, even if the other party was a devil, he would not hesitate to borrow strength from the other party, as long as he could survive this catastrophe, he would not hesitate to go to hell.
"Alright, Mr. Tuka, we will try to do what you say, as long as we can destroy the other party's crash car, we will have a chance to win this battle." Ferdigan clenched his teeth, seemed to be breathing a lot heavier, and swept his fierce and ferocious gaze at the officers around him, and said categorically: "If you want to live, give it to me, if you can't fight this battle, everyone can only become a corpse devoured by a dead dog in the wilderness, we have no choice, understand?!" ”
"Understood!" In an instant, the fighting spirit of the officers present was immediately sublimated to the top, fighting for their own survival, there is nothing more exciting than this, victory is life, defeat is death, that's all, there is no way back.
When the officers quickly dispersed and rushed to their respective posts, the pale-faced magician said faintly: "Lord Ferdigan, I have to warn you that your words to encourage morale are very good, but you must know this, we have no chance of winning this battle, we are just trying to win a chance to escape, I hope you will not be impulsive." ”
Smiling bitterly, Ferdigan sighed lightly before saying, "Mr. Tuca, I know this better than you, I am more worried that we will not even be able to hold out in this battle, if we don't encourage them like this, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it." ”
"If you understand, we need to prepare." The magician nodded in satisfaction, "Those rebels will definitely be punished." (To be continued......)
