Chapter 540: Temptation
Although there was no cooperation from other magicians, relying on his own mastery of this strategic magic, the minotaur magician standing beside the Minotaur Leader Tower still managed to release the strategic magic after spending half an hour.
"The earth shakes!"
When the Minotaur Mage's staff pointed towards the Cast Iron Castle, the position of Werther Cast Iron and the others immediately began to shake from a distance.
"Boom Rumble......
At the critical moment, Werther Cast Iron, who was the lord, immediately shouted: "Everyone hurry up and hold on! Feel relieved! Our cast-iron fort is built on a huge rock! And we've reinforced the rock! An earthquake of this magnitude can't help our cast-iron fort! ”
"Daddy! The rocks beneath us are indeed reinforced and magically enhanced! However, the buildings and walls on the ground have only been simply reinforced! ”
At this moment, Lott Cast Iron yelled helplessly: "If it goes on like this, I'm worried about ......"
"Click! Syllable! ”
"Click-la-la-......"
Before Lott Cast Iron could speak, a strange noise sounded in one of the walls, and soon it completely cracked under the influence of "the earth shook and the mountains shook".
Looking at the huge gap, the anxious Werther Cast Iron immediately shouted, "Dwarven guards! Get ready to take on the attack! ”
However, under this violent shaking, neither the dwarf guards nor the dwarf mages could reach the gap in a short time......
"Woo......"
At the same moment, a minotaur warrior raised his horn and blew it hard. At the sound of the trumpet, the underground races, who had been impatient for a long time, began to charge.
The only poisonous eyes who did not move, but after whispering for a while, reluctantly launched an attack under the gaze of the minotaurs acting as overseers.
As their eyes widened, the huge eyeballs turned red rapidly, and then a dark red beam of light shot out of the poisonous eyes' pupils.
This is exactly the Poison Eye's signature ability: the Evil Ray!
The poisonous eyes who were coerced did not aim well at all, and many of the evil rays they shot fell on the bodies of "their own people", and only a small part of the evil rays ended up on the city wall.
But the dwarven guards, who were in a panic, had no way to raise their shields, so they quickly suffered casualties.
Lott Cast Iron, who looked younger, immediately turned red.
However, compared to the dwarven guards who were "accidentally injured", Poison Eye's attack actually caused the "allies" to be seriously injured.
Since the evil ray of the poisonous eye travels in a straight line, none of the unlucky scorpions flying high have been hit by an evil ray, but the minotaur guards and hydras running below are miserable.
Many of the Minotaur guards and hydras who were defenseless against attacks from behind them were directly pierced by the evil rays, and some of the unlucky ones who were hit by the vital point fell directly to the ground on the spot, and the rest were also injured in varying degrees of severity.
However, perhaps the minotaurs did something, and instead of being injured, the minotaur guards in the charge charged at the walls of the cast-iron fort in an even more frantic manner.
This caused the array of minotaur guards to quickly separate from the hydra.
The Hydra had already fallen behind the team because their legs were too short, and most of the evil rays of Poison Eye fell on the bodies of their huge clan, which made the Dark Hydra, whose strength was close to the legend, as the leader, go crazy on the spot.
"Huh!"
Under the roar of the dark hydra, the hydras who had not run far turned their heads and pounced on the poisonous eyes. The venomous hydra, which has the ability to spit, raised its head directly and spewed out streams of venom towards the poisonous eyes.
A large amount of venom rained down on the heads of the poisonous eyes, causing the poisonous eyes to start howling miserably.
But even more tragedy is yet to come.
The angry Dark Hydra and the brothers of the various Hydra clans rushed directly into the array of poisonous eyes, and the large number of snake heads acted one after another, ready to bite the poisonous eyes one by one. Although the Poison Eyes are nearly ten times more numerous than the Hydras, they are so vulnerable to the onslaught of the Hydras, who are good at multi-headed attacks.
It only took a few breaths, and the array of poisonous eyes was already full of blood. The remaining poisonous eyes began to flee in all directions, but the enraged hydras had no intention of stopping there, and vowed to completely exterminate this group of poisonous eyes that did not have long eyes.
It stands to reason that infighting has always been taboo in soldiers, but the Minotaur leader Ta is turning a blind eye to the infighting that is happening in front of him.
Not only him, but even the minotaur mages and the rest of the minotaur warriors who were his subordinates didn't even look at the hydras and the poisonous eyes.
Obviously, these minotaurs didn't take these poisonous eyes and hydras into their eyes at all. All they could see was the scorpion-manticore, which was about to reach the front, and the minotaur guards who were charging.
"Whew!"
Flying as fast as they could, the mantilion reached the sky above the cast-iron fort as fast as they could, and attacked the dwarven guards who were still shaking and trying to stabilize their figures.
At the same time as the scorpion lions pounced, Lott Cast Iron also roared loudly: "Spearmen! Offensive! ”
Although the ground was still shaking, the "earth shaking and mountain shaking" that the minotaur mage had managed to maintain for so long was actually the end of the strong crossbow, so a considerable number of dwarven spearmen managed to stabilize their bodies in this gradually weakening shaking, and then threw their spears at the poisonous manticores in the air.
Unfortunately, this shaking still greatly affected the accuracy of the dwarven spear throwers, and most of the spears they threw were missed.
Just before the dwarven spearmen could only watch the poisonous scorpion lions about to pounce on their comrades, a very calm word suddenly came into their ears.
"It's time...... Perform real art! ”
As these words sounded, countless iron balls flew straight into the sky.
The sharp-eyed dwarven spearmen soon discovered that they were not iron balls, but rather fuses that had been lit one by one...... Bomb!
"Bang!"
"Bang bang ......"
The explosions were almost continuous, and the poisonous scorpion lions that swooped down were blasted into countless pieces in this continuous explosion, and they drifted away together with the gunsmoke.
"Hahaha......"
"That's right! That's what you want! Explode, explode again! ”
"What beautiful fireworks!"
"Explosion is art! Aha......"
Looking at the dwarf who was standing at the front of the gnome bombardiers and was looking up and laughing, the gnomes led by Baker Copperfinger all subconsciously reached out in unison to support their foreheads: "Oh my God, this thing is here again......"
Dio, who also noticed the dwarf, subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth. After hearing the dwarf's words, Dio immediately labeled the dwarf: "Mad Scientist".
This kind of person may be powerful, but it is a time bomb for both yourself and the enemy......
"This, who is this?"
Lott Cast Iron, who was surprised that the attack of the poisonous scorpion lions had been completely repulsed, looked at the dwarf who was laughing wildly, and subconsciously turned his head to ask about his friend.
Beck Copperfinger, who was asked, hesitated for a while before he explained helplessly: "This is ...... The only one of our gnomes who has not entered the realm of legends as a mage, the dwarf engineering master Zags! ”
"Is there something wrong with this, this Zags master?"
Faintly feeling that something seemed to be wrong, Lott Cast Iron asked with some hesitation.
After a long sigh, Baker Copperfinger, who didn't intend to hide anything, explained, "You know, we gnomes have long been very worried about the culture of the clan that places too much emphasis on the profession of magician. ”
"So we've worked very hard to develop some of the geniuses of other professions to try to fundamentally reverse that trend."
"And Master Zags is the genius who emerged after five years of this training program."
"He tried to become a master of fire magic, but he had no talent for magic at all. As a result, he had no choice but to switch to dwarf engineering, trying to show the charm of fire through scientific means. ”
"In the beginning, Zaggs was only able to make fireworks that looked very beautiful, but had no utility at all."
"But it wasn't long before he succeeded in refining the recipe for fireworks and making new gunpowder."
"He succeeded, but he also failed."
"The explosive bomb made with this new gunpowder is very powerful. But at the same time, the stability of this thing is very low, so that Zaggs's lab explodes once every three days. ”
"It's not just about destroying magic, after a very serious accident, many of the elders, led by Elder Pixar, scolded him severely."
"After that, Master Zags stopped for a while."
"But what we didn't expect was that Master Zags's invention was actually successful in attracting many dwarf teenagers who had no talent for magic."
"And these dwarf boys, after being trained by Master Zags, became our dwarf bombardier troops."
When he said this, Baker Bronze Finger spread his hands helplessly: "Master Zaggs's special explosive bomb is quite powerful. But the bomb doesn't have eyes! If you are not careful, you will even hurt your own people. ”
Reminded of this, Lott Cast Iron noticed that several of the dwarven guards had also been injured in the previous explosion.
However, after thinking silently for a while, Lott Cast Iron replied categorically: "In any case, Master Zags and his dwarf bombardiers have indeed succeeded in saving the situation from being directly overwhelmed by the poisonous manticore!" Therefore, although Master Zags also injured many of his own people by mistake, his contribution to our army was far greater than the damage to our army. ”
"I understand that, too."
Baker Copperfinger's face suddenly had a touch of vicissitudes: "However, I said it in advance, Lot! You can't praise him for his inventions! Otherwise, Master Zags will use his chatter to try to win you into joining the bombardiers......"
Turning his head to look at Master Zags, who was still laughing maniacally, Lott Cast Iron nodded earnestly.
In fact, his keen instincts as a magician also told Lott Cast Iron that the Zaggs master was very dangerous......
This is actually a matter of course, is it not dangerous for livestock that specialize in explosives?
While Lott Cast Iron and Baker Bronzefinger were talking about Master Zaggs, the Minotaur mage finally couldn't hold on, and the effects of the strategic magic "Shaking the Ground" were completely subdued.
The dwarf magicians, who had finally stood firm, immediately chanted a spell under the leadership of Elder Pixar, and launched a counterattack as fast as they could.
"Mist!"
After quickly completing the incantation, some of the dwarf mages immediately pointed their staff into the air, releasing a large cloud of mist.
The sudden appearance of the mist immediately enveloped the manticorpion lions who were circling, and the manticorpion lions, who were about to launch a second attack, immediately panicked, and panicked cries continued to come out of the mist.
But the dwarf magicians fought back more than that!
"Winter winds!"
In the whispers of the second group of dwarf magicians, a fierce cold wind suddenly blew over the cast-iron castle, and the poisonous manticorpion lions in the mist were immediately frozen by the cold air, and fell from the fog that had turned into ice chips.
It was at this time that the last group of dwarf magicians launched their strongest offensive.
"Blizzard!"
The water elements that gathered turned into a large number of icicles and icicles, which successively fell on the poisonous scorpion lions that could not be resisted at all. While knocking the poisonous scorpion lions to the ground, it also continued to thicken the ice on the poisonous scorpion lions.
Some of the weaker poisonous scorpion lions were directly smashed into pieces by the falling icicles. And the more powerful poisonous scorpion lions were slowly robbed of all their vitality by the ever-thickening ice.
Just as the manticores were completely wiped out by the combined attack of the gnome bombarders and the gnome mages, the almost crazy minotaur guards had already rushed to the city walls.
Although their eyes were red, their mouths were constantly panting, and even some of the minotaur guards had some white foam overflowing from the corners of their mouths, these minotaur guards still retained the last bit of battle consciousness, and soon all noticed the collapsed city wall.
"Moo!"
After a wild scream, the minotaur guards charged towards the gap in the wall!
