Chapter 57
No matter how interesting things are, they can become boring when they are repeated too much. Pen Ć fun Ć Pavilion www. ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ ć info When the golem fired more than ten stone projectiles, the surrounding dwarven warriors were no longer in the mood to laugh anymore, and they didn't even bother to look at it, and many of them sat on the ground chatting boredly, yawning and dozing, and some of them walked around, clamoring to go to the tavern to find some ale to drink.
"Damn, what the hell are you doing, our warriors aren't here to watch you play a game of stone-throwing!" the goldstone leader grew impatient and barked at the commander and the Alstom mage. The dwarves' irascible tempers and simple minds make them excellent warriors, but they are not qualified soldiers, and sometimes he doesn't know how to move the emotions of these warriors.
The commander didn't bother to pay attention to the brainless and ignorant dwarf, and he didn't bother to explain the significance of this tactic to this barbarian who certainly couldn't understand it, but in the midst of a temporary alliance, he said lightly: "We do this with deep meaning, and you don't want your warriors to cause unnecessary casualties, do you?"
"What the hell are you trying to say?" said the Jinshi Leader's expression and eyes looked like he was about to jump up and bite.
"Damn, what the hell are you doing?" Stephanie, who was recuperating from her injuries in the back, couldn't help but come over, and roared the same when she saw such a repeated catapult. "You're gathering troops here just to waste time by doing this useless trick?"
The commander and the Alstom mage didn't look up to the little man just because he was an arcane, and they didn't even bother to get angry. actually issued the same question as the dwarf barbarian, this level is indeed pitiful. Fortunately, this person is more or less a person with arcane knowledge, and the commander kindly and patiently explained: "This is to consume the spiritual power of the high-level mage on the other side. Don't you see? To protect the shells we fire, he must use arcane defense. And our catapult arcane is a catapult array that uses spiritual power to the highest efficiency, and only needs to consume the spirit of the two-ring arcane every time, but this kind of protection on the other side is at least a four-ring and three-ring arcane, and we have nearly ten battle mages on our side, as long as the spirit of that high-level mage is consumed, our casualties and dangers can also be greatly reduced......"
After only casually watching the strange deceleration after the two stone projectiles were ejected, Stephanie's already pale face from blood loss became more and more difficult to look at, and she glared at the commander and said, "Who told you that the other side is using the protective spells of the third and fourth rings to consume you?" How can you be sure that you have the upper hand in the consumption?"
"Logic, reasoning, a wealth of arcane knowledge, and a lot of practical experience, of course!" "Mage Alstom stood up, his head held high and squinted at this young mage who looked less than half his age, he had ten thousand reasons to despise this kind of academic mage who relied on resources to pile up. "Even the simplest force field barrier to protect it is a three-ring arcane. The force field barrier cannot withstand the kinetic energy impact of the stone bullet, and the impact force of the ejection array at this distance exceeds the bearing capacity of the force field barrier. So the mage on the other side must be protected by a higher level of arcane art! If you have a different opinion, you can immediately tell us what kind of spell the protection over there is? How can it be lower than the mental power consumption of the catapult circle?"
"It's... It'sā" Stephanie could probably see what it was, but she couldn't tell.
"This is the experience of the battlefield, this is the logic and judgment that a mage should have. Young people, you can never learn in school. Als said slowly in a serious tone.
"Mage's logic?" Stephanie laughed angrily. "Self-righteous fools, you must start attacking now! Oppressive attack! Don't waste time here!"
Master Alstom immediately replied unceremoniously, "Who gave you the right to give orders here?young man? Who are you? If it weren't for the fact that you and Lord Sir knew me, I would have called the soldiers to arrest you at once." ā
"Okay, okay..."It took a lot of effort for Stephanie to refrain from throwing a sour arrow at the wrinkled old face in front of her. "I'm going to ask Lord Sir for an order right away..."
"Hey, look, what's going on?" the commander clapped his hands, diverting the attention of the two mages who were about to fight.
Under the high wall of the station, the stone projectile that had been silent and did not move suddenly began to spin. One, two, three... The stone projectile, which had been stationary, was pulled by an inexplicable force, and began to spin in place on the smooth ground like a spinning top.
"This... This one... What kind of arcane is this, is it a side effect of that force field protection spell?" Alston stared, looking at this scene and thinking hard, but he couldn't think of any reason. "But what does it mean to make that happen?"
Stephanie also stared blankly. The stone bullets spun faster and faster, and gradually began to bring out the whirring sound of the wind. In order to facilitate the movement of the golem, the ground of Greydale Town was magically shaped along with the buildings, smooth and solid, and now these equally solid round stone projectiles rotated on it without the slightest hindrance, but it was vaguely discernible that they were spinning faster and faster.
Suddenly, Stephanie seemed to understand something, her eyes lit up, and then her face became even more gray, and she nodded and muttered, "It can be like this, but it can still be like this...... Well, it's a smart guy..."
"Young man, don't pretend to be subtle, don't pretend to understand..."Master Alstom wanted to remind these juniors in a deep voice, but saw Stephanie turn around and run away.
At this time, inside the station, Master Dundell and a group of caravan guards had already mounted their horses and prepared to break through according to what Feng Yinqiu said. There is no point in sticking here without reinforcements, and there is still life to break through.
But while they were ready to go, the atmosphere in the whole station was very awkward, because there were not enough horses in the station. Except for the Howard family's horses, which were originally here, the other caravans left their horses in their original garrison when they arrived, and it was impossible to go back and find them at this time. The limited number of horses doomed only a small number of people to be able to venture out of the siege, even if the camel beasts that originally pulled the cart were used as mounts, they would not bring more than twenty or thirty people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, with the help of Master Wende, it is very likely that we will be able to successfully break through now, and those soldiers of the Northern Legion will not have the urge to stop their mouths. At most, they will take you hostage, and they will even release you after taking the goods and gold......"
Mage Dundell rode on a summoned phantasmal pony, trying to explain to the others. But those who did not have horses looked at them with hostility.
Someone spoke: "Then why don't you let us break out with that powerful mage? ā
"That's right, why can you ride out, and the four who take the lead, why should they have horses, why should we stay here?" While some of these caravan guards were warriors with Guardian Hands, others were more mercenaries hired by the caravan, who were just paying for their errands and would never show any high morals in such a life-and-death situation.
Master Dundell wiped his sweat in a hurry, and he really lacked experience in how to deal with this kind of scene. With the slogans that the Northern Army shouted at them before, many people were already a little nervous, and when he came back to tell him the plan to break out of the siege and distribute the horses, these contradictions all broke out. The mercenaries, who had not been allocated horses, had drawn their weapons and stopped in front of them.
"Everyone, everyone!" the leader of the Rodin Chamber of Commerce, the old man was also on the back of the beast, waving his hands to calm the emotions of the mercenaries below. These huge camels hastily strapped some chairs to them, and arranged for at least a few caravan leaders and their cronies. "Please trust us. I promise to triple you, and we'll be back soon with reinforcements. With the deterrence of the Temple of Sunlight and the Hand of Guardians, those dwarves and the Northern Legion will not dare to mess around!"
"you! What if they're desperate and enraged by your escape?
"Yes, yes, tell them to come down! If everyone wants to die, they will all die together, and no one is allowed to leave!"
Some mercenaries actually began to come up and seize the horses, and the Howard family's knight of the guard immediately drew his sword to stop and cut two of them, but this did not calm down the conflict in the slightest, but tended to become more and more intense.
Suddenly, the mercenaries who had been arguing the most fiercely in front of them choked violently, and then fell down with their throats in their arms, and from their throats they choked violently were clumps of ice slag with their own flesh and blood.
The crowd of people who wanted to fight for the horses dispersed at once, for they all saw a mist floating in front of them, and the guys on the ground who were spitting blood had accidentally sucked it into their throats, or had accidentally been drilled into their throats.
"Your Excellency Dundell. If they don't want to take our advice and insist on dying together, let them die with arcane art. A somewhat weak voice sounded slowly, as ethereal and cold as a mist, but it soaked people's hearts.
It was Mu Qinyi who spoke, she was riding on a horse, and her long skirt had cut off the excess skirt. The blood on her face seemed to be a little less white, and it was a little frighteningly white, but many people looked at her with fear, because her fingers were teasing the clouds of mist in the air, and the mist that floated in this courtyard at some point was slowly revolving around her like her pets.
"Why? We saved your lives. If it weren't for our reminder, you would have been beheaded by the dwarves last night. Now that we have given you a chance to live, you have to ask us why we have a better chance than yours, well, if you want a more powerful answer, it is that we can kill you at any time. ā
"Enough, Lord Dundell, don't scruple any more. If anyone messes around, just reward them with arcane arts, they don't need your kindness and respect. ā
I don't know when, a shrill strange whistling sound sounded outside, making Mu Qinyi's faint voice almost inaudible, but Master Dundell still felt that this was really the most attractive female voice he had ever heard in his life, and he nodded.
Outside the high walls, a dozen or so spinning stone projectiles had begun to emit a piercing screech, evidence that their speed of rotation was close to the limit.
Feng Yinqiu stopped satisfactorily grinding with the projectiles with his big hand. The speed of movement of the force field master hand can only be given close to the speed of sound at most, and the rotation speed of these projectiles is almost at this limit, more than a dozen shrill screams are mixed together, and a whirlwind-like air flow can be faintly seen above each projectile.
The power that the force field giant can output is not large, the limit is only about three or four thousand catties, for an arcane with up to seven rings, the power that this stronger beast can achieve is really not enough. In other words, if this force field giant is used for combat, that is, it can only wield a heavy weapon of about 1,000 catties at most, and it will definitely not be flexible between movements, or it can transport a small and light weapon to the speed of near sound. In this way, perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the combat power of this arcane is not even comparable to some five- or six-ring arcane.
But that's not the case. After all, this is a legal arcane that has formed a self-circulating arcane, and the continuous output of the force field and the flexible use of this spell are the foundation. Stephanie also took a fancy to this, and knew that other arcane energies would be directly decomposed in front of Feng Yinqiu, so she chose this sustainable force field giant as a way to capture and contain him. It's just that she didn't know that in fact, along with the Nine Rings Arcane of the Department, it had also been broken in front of Feng Yinqiu.
And this arcane art is now in the hands of Feng Yinqiu, and the various tricks of this kind of spell that have already been proficient in the rivers and lakes of Shenzhou are certainly not what the Euro mages can imagine. Homeopathic unloading to overcome rigidity with softness, with a force of three or four thousand catties to receive tens of thousands of catties of impact projectiles, this is just a trivial matter, with a special secret weapon technique to continue to accumulate the three or four thousand catties of sustained strength, is the real killer move.
The golem's projectile had stopped. Although the battle mages still couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, they could faintly feel bad just by watching the projectiles they shot out in vain, and then spinning like crazy on the ground.
The other soldiers were also talking to each other. At first, those dwarves still thought it was as simple as watching a trick, and when they saw more than a dozen projectiles of tens and nearly 100 catties began to spin and scream the wind, they could also feel the huge power contained in them. Just looking at these stone ball projectiles that were just spinning in place in vain, they couldn't quite understand what the use of this was.
"Sir Adari has said, let you start attacking!" the Golem rushes up and smashes them!" Stephanie ran up from behind, screaming.
The Resident Commander on the golem grinned heartbrokenly, if he could, he wouldn't want to use these valuable baby bumps. In fact, strictly speaking, he is the supreme commander here, but he also knows very well that since he appeared here with the status of an old knight, he has absolutely no part in speaking. He had no choice but to wave his hand, and the few melee golems standing in front of him, which were originally only used as a deterrent force, began to stride forward.
"Hey, do your best, prepare your warriors to follow!" the commander shouted to the goldstone leader below. The dwarven leader gave him a hideous smile as if he was going to eat human flesh raw, but he still shouted a few times in dwarven language, and the dwarven warriors around him, who had been lazy, also raised their weapons.
Seeing that the golem in front of him began to move, Feng Yinqiu turned around and kicked the cracked wall behind him, and said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency Dundell, it begins." ā
With a bang, the reinforced high wall, which had already cracked to the brink of collapse, completely collapsed under the strong foot of Feng Yinqiu. Fortunately, it had been arranged, and all the people behind the high wall had dodged, and the people who had already lined up in formation behind were ready to go, but under the cover of the phantom light curtain in front, the people outside still looked like an intact wall.
Seeing several melee golems approaching step by step, followed by dwarves holding various heavy weapons, Feng Yinqiu was not in a hurry, and picked up a flying stone projectile with a strong field giant hand, and then threw it at a golem.
The power of the force field giant hand is not too strong, so the speed of the stone projectile is not too fast, but it is still impossible to dodge for the bulky golem. The battle mage who controlled the golem didn't think about dodging or blocking at all, and the golem's tens of thousands of catties of self-weight were destined not to be afraid of the impact of this kind of projectile of dozens of catties, so the stone projectile smashed into the golem's chest, but at the moment of smashing, the speed and momentum increased sharply, and it bounced out to the side at least several times faster, rushing into the crowd not far away, setting off a scream and blood rain.
The force field giant hand itself is intangible and substantial, but it is just a shape when the force can be expressed, so it does not produce any friction and resistance when it picks up the stone bullet and throws it, but once it comes into contact with the entity, the huge force carried by the rotation to the limit speed is released. The speed of the stone bullet that rebounded out was extremely fast, and one of the dwarven warriors subconsciously raised the war hammer in his hand to block it, but the dozens of pounds of heavy weapons were like pieces of paper, and as soon as they touched the rapidly rotating stone bullet, they were bounced away, and the stone bullet hit the dwarf's face, turning it into a bloody concave surface in the blink of an eye, and then rushed into the queue of Northern legionnaires behind it after changing its direction slightly. Ordinary humans were far more vulnerable than the fragile limbs of dwarves, and all the limbs and flesh that touched the spinning sphere were torn apart in the blink of an eye, and flew in all directions, and even rolled in another direction after the stone bullet hit the wall behind it, and the legs of the people who were torn off were everywhere along the way, and the soldiers screamed and scattered to flee from this horrible projectile.
Just such a stone bullet broke the queue in one direction. People in other directions, whether they were dwarven warriors or soldiers of the Northern Legion, were stunned that these spinning stone projectiles, which they had always regarded as a small trick, turned out to be so terrifyingly destructive.
Many of them immediately turned their frightened eyes to the other stone balls that were still spinning under the high wall, and in their increasingly frightened eyes, two more spinning stone projectiles floated up, and then with a piercing whistling sound, they made a strange arc in mid-air and crashed into a golem together.
