Chapter 549: The Attack and Defense of Aran City (8)
After the troops were assembled, the generals lined up with their troops, and Jiang Ling also saw many things that could only be seen in fantasy movies. For example, there are giant deer that are more majestic than buffalo, and strange beasts that look like cheetahs but have a single horn on their foreheads, and many huge falcons circling in the sky, as well as some strange siege equipment.
Most of these alien beasts are mostly tamed by the Vero people, these brave tribes with wild blood, have many primitive skills, and beast control is a necessary item among them.
The six Verlo tribes are led by six chieftains, each with a different banner, such as Lawson and Nian, each tribe's banner is the surname of its commander or the name of the unit, and the banner of the Verlo tribe is painted with a pattern of a strange beast, that is their totem.
The strongest of the six tribes was the Sagbu, who was as powerful as a little giant, with a bald head, but a disheveled brown beard on his chin, heavy body hair on his chest and arms, and a brownish-red color. The grim-faced chief was lying beside a black tiger, with two sharp fangs poking out of his mouth, very majestic. And the totem of the Sag Department is also a tiger head pattern.
Flanked by the Sagar tribe was the tribe of Galis, the only female chieftain, dark-skinned and sneering, riding on the back of a majestic brown bear. Her banner was a bear, and what was striking was that she was holding a cyan slate in her hand, like a brick, but with intricate writing on it, and even glowing.
Could it be some kind of throwing weapon? You don't necessarily have to use bricks to lift people, do you? Jiang Ling asked Yasna, only to know that this Galis was actually a rare mage in Vero, proficient in earth-based spells, and the green brick was a magic weapon.
Looking further back, it was General Richwager's men and horses, Richig was not as burly as Sager, but he was also more than two meters tall, with a strong body, and his upper body was mostly naked, wearing only shoulder armor and a heart guard. Above his head was a goshawk hovering, and the flag of their tribe was painted with a pair of wings. At this time, the chief's expression was gloomy and solemn, obviously worried about the matter of charging into battle for a while.
The monkey banner was held by Theo's tribe, Theo was also a princess party, and he was usually close to Richig, and the general was also in good shape, but not as exaggerated as Sag. He had a high nose, a pointed chin, and a pair of dark blue pupils, and on his broad shoulders was a small monkey squatting, dressed in a fur coat, holding Theo's head in one hand and a fruit in the other.
The flag of the Kez tribe was a fish motif, and the eldest chieftain sat on the back of a wild bull, dressed in fine armor and carrying a spear, with a bit of a sword still in his hand. And Wang Yuanou was next to Kezi, and he was also sitting on the back of a cow, talking to Kezi.
The last chieftain, named Kuruma, was the thinnest compared to several other chiefs. This person is not young, he should be about fifty years old. His skin was slightly dark, and his face was painted with many white patterns of unknown meaning, so that it was impossible to see his expression. The whites of his eyes were few, and his gaze was hollow, looking a little weird, with a palpitating chill. The pattern on his banner ... It can be said that it is a mess and people have no clue. The man held a bone staff with a fist-sized bone of a strange shape, like the skull of some animal cub, and in those two eye sockets, a pair of dark brown gems were embedded in them.
Jiang Ling looked at the man from afar, and Kuruma also turned his head to look at him.
The pair of weird pupils made Jiang Ling slightly startled, and then Jiang Ling looked away and didn't pay attention to this guy anymore. And just by looking at each other, Jiang Ling also found that this person was actually a spirit master, and his cultivation had reached the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm, which was extremely rare among the Weiluo people.
"This Kuruma is so mysterious that he rarely talks to people, and his tribe has so many strange traditions that even people like me who survived decades ago find it difficult to understand." Wu Nuomeng and Jiang Ling whispered, and then said, "He supports the prince's faction, let's ignore this kind of outlier." ”
Jiang Ling nodded, thinking that together with Unomun, who was a Vilo person, he thought that this Kuruma was a strange thing, so it seemed that this person was really strange.
After seeing this group of Velo Hans with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, Jiang Ling went to see the team with complete armor and unified banners, and felt that the painting style was different, and he didn't know how these two groups worked together to fight until now.
With Nokea as the commander over there, Doram and Agares as the main generals, the formation is neat, the advance and retreat are orderly, and it is indeed an elite division.
Yasna led her fifteen-hundred-man guard, and in the center-left position of the whole procession, she sat on top of a chariot that was one foot three feet high, allowing Yasna to see farther away. And Jiang Ling, it was precisely by standing on the edge of Wang Zhen that he saw the battlefield so carefully.
And Alrod was in the center of the place, and behind him was the big chariot that was waving in the wind, and he was also sitting on a royal chariot, and his royal chariot was three feet high, as if he were sitting on the top of a mountain.
"It's so conspicuous, if AWM doesn't shoot you, I'll take it off for you." Jiang Ling thought about it wickedly.
At this time, the officers and men of all armies were waiting for the battle, and the wind was blowing, so that the battle flags of the battalions were waved in the wind and hunting sounded.
As Yalord pointed forward with pride, the Chinese army waved and the horn sounded, like the roar of a wild beast, and the beating of thousands of war drums was like a thousand thunderbolts. At this moment, the whole army rushed forward together.
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of troops marched forward in unison, war horses galloped, soldiers fought bravely, like a tsunami in the mountains, the earth trembled, straight into the sky.
Jiang Ling was driven by this monstrous momentum, but he did not relax his vigilance, staring at the city wall that was getting closer and closer in the distance.
It wasn't until this moment that the main quest finally sounded.
[Obtain the main quest: Attack Aran Castle]
[Difficulty: Difficult]
[Mission content: As the princess launches an attack on Aran City, it is important to ensure the safety of the princess and Luo Ling during the period until they enter Aran City or the troops begin to retreat. 】
[Reward: 150 points, 10 credits]
[Additional content: Until the next stage of the main quest starts, each of the remaining members of Unomon, Tadon, Cleus, and Anio will receive an additional 30 points.] 】
[Note: Under these circumstances, a siege will be a fierce battle that lasts for a long time.] But in some battlefields, even sieges, the situation can be reversed due to some unexpected changes. Is it to stabilize the offensive and strive to break through, or to retreat in time to be thorough? 】
"I've been waiting for so long, I've been waiting for a phased main quest." Jiang Ling muttered, and then thought: "Judging from the content and remarks of the task, this battle is not unfought, but it must be quite difficult." What is it that will change the situation? ”
Jiang Ling also learned from Lin Buyi about the national teacher's guess that the hole card of Yalan City might be the god of the Lawson army, and Jiang Ling still agreed with the national teacher's speculation, and thought that the enemy army was very likely to crush his own side in the strategic plan.
Then Jiang Ling was surprised again: "The main task is to protect the princess, and the additional content also includes the princess's close ministers, but Lin is not worthy of the national teacher, and Wang Yuanou is on the side of the chief of Kezi, this task..." ”
Jiang Ling glanced back, but the three of them were in a position far apart, and the army was charging, and the soldiers of each department were rubbing shoulders, although Jiang Ling confirmed the positions of Lin Buyi and Wang Yuanou, there was no way to communicate with telekinesis.
The scene of the galloping army was spectacular, but it was not that the 120,000 troops rushed out at once, and it was impossible to set up a formation due to the limitations of the terrain. At this time, the army was divided into three batches, the princess was in the first formation, the national division and the team of the chief of the Kez were in the second formation, and after the first formation rushed out for nearly ten minutes, the second formation began to march, and then the third formation where Alrod was.
The first team is five teams, Nokea, Riwig, Doram, Galis, and the princess, with a total of about 40,000 people, and the princess's position is relatively low.
Jiang Ling turned his head to look at the wall of Yalan City, and saw that the distance was about to shrink to about five hundred meters.
"Why do you feel a little wet, is it because of the proximity to the moat?" Jiang Ling suddenly felt that the air was humid, he looked up at the sky, although there were a few white clouds floating in the sky, but the weather was still clear, and there was no intention of rain.
Without waiting for Jiang Ling to think about it any more, there was a strong sense of energy convergence coming from the walls of Yalan City.
Jiang Ling hurriedly stared at it, only to see two points of light lit up on the wall of Aran City, the air around those two points of light was pulling and distorting, and the momentum was getting bigger and bigger, but it was just a blink of an eye, as if two terrifying vortices appeared on the wall of Aran City.
The coalition forces have already responded to it, Nokoya waved his sword, the flag was unfurled, the figures in the army fanned, and the Nianshi of the Nianshi Regiment were ready.
Rumble!
Two muffled thunderous sounds, like the roars of two ancient murderers, saw two telekinetic beams in the air that were distorted in the air, the thickness of a bucket, and with milky white air waves, blasting towards the coalition forces at an extremely fast speed.
At the moment when the magic crystal cannon was really activated, Jiang Ling realized that he had underestimated the power of the magic crystal cannon in Yalan City, although these two magic crystal cannons were far inferior to the dragon slaying cannon in Jianye City, but the power was still amazing. If these two cannons are concentrated on themselves, can they stop it? Jiang Ling asked himself, a little uncertain in his heart.
The ninjas here had already made preparations, and together they cast the nurturing qi barrier to block the attack trajectory of the magic crystal cannon.
The magic crystal cannon converts the hedron energy into a beam of mindful qi, the attack is simple and crude, and the attack trajectory is difficult to change, so it is relatively easy to resist.
Although the hundreds of Nian Masters are all in the Heavenly Transformation Realm, and only a dozen of them are in the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm, dozens of Nian Qi barriers are superimposed in one place, which can still have the effect of being like an iron wall.
The Nian Qi Beam hit the Nian Qi barrier, and a violent energy collision occurred in mid-air, and the qi wave exploded, and the space in that place seemed to be about to crack.
The two powerful Nian Qi beams were successfully intercepted, and the army continued to advance, but the light spots on the head of Aran City lit up again, rolling up a vortex.
But while Jiang Ling was shocked by this energy collision, he felt more and more that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.
"What's going on?" Jiang Ling was a little unsure of how he felt.
Not far away, as the archmage of the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm, Galis was riding on the back of a giant bear, and he also looked around with a puzzled face, muttering, "What's the matter?" It's going to fog up? ”
Rumble!
Two roars rang out again.
