(Rune Battle) Chapter 67 Super Barrier Attack and Defense Battle
The black tide in the distance finally reached the city wall of the super barrier, and due to the high altitude, from the top down, those void monsters were as small as ants. There are many monsters that also look like ants, about 2 meters long, with a pair of wide serrated fangs on the side of their mouths, and six pairs of legs on their bodies, and their bodies are pitch black and shiny. Unlike ants, they stood upright on a pair of strong hind limbs, and the four pairs of legs on their upper bodies shone with a purple cold light like four sickles. There is also a kind of monster that is smaller, only about 1 meter, the two forelimbs are like huge shovels, and the last kind of void monster is like a centipede essence, on the long body, densely packed with eight pairs of symmetrical steel limbs, if you stand up cross-legged, it is estimated to be seven or eight meters high. All the Void Monsters raised their heads straight, looking at the equally small Demacian soldiers at the top of the towering super barrier, a trace of saliva running from the corners of their mouths.
But it seems like something is waiting for? The endless void monsters didn't attack immediately.
On the city wall, every 20-25 meters, there will be a Demacia commander, and now, their hands are also raised high, and their eyes are staring at the standard-bearer on the high platform of the attic command office, and the battlefield has fallen into an eerie silence. As before the storm, everything seems so calm and calm......
Galen, who had been sitting on the handsome chair with his eyes slightly closed, seemed to feel something, opened his eyes suddenly, and strode to the lookout in the attic. On the farthest horizon, a small hill was slowly moving in the direction of a super-rampart.
"The whole army!!"
"Attack !!"
As soon as Galen's order was spoken, the standard-bearer standing on the command platform instantly unfurled the red flag in his hand and waved it three times in a row, and wolf smoke was lit on each beacon tower.
"Boom Boom Boom~~"
All kinds of artillery fire rang out in unison, heavy and huge solid iron bullets were triggered by the acceleration of gunpowder from the high city wall, and after being pulled by gravity, after falling to the ground, they could explode a large pit with a radius of about five meters, and the Void monsters that were hit were blown to pieces, and the Void monsters affected by the shock wave of the cannonballs were also skewed.
"Whoosh~~"
The archers on the walls all use the archery throwing method, and they also use solid iron arrows, and the arrows are carved with many spiral patterns, which greatly increases the penetration of the iron arrows falling from the sky. Void monsters that are shot at by such arrows will be immediately pierced by iron arrows, and green blood will flow from the holes in the wounds.
"Brush~~Brush~"
The 45-degree angle of the bed crossbow is even more terrifying. Each crossbow arrow as thick as a human thigh is driven by eight cow tendon winches full of strings, and when it flies out, it has a strong sound of breaking the air, and the void monster that is shot by the crossbow arrow will be directly cut off by the waist, and even if it rubs to the edge of the meaning, the arm will be broken.
Dozens of mages stayed in the 5-kilometer perimeter of each section of the city wall, and all kinds of large fireballs, ice bombs, wind blades, and lightning fell from mid-air and exploded above the heads of the void monsters, also causing powerful damage.
The first round of attacks by the defenders of Demacia almost completely damaged the front end of the Void Monsters, and Galen looked at the battle situation and nodded slightly, expressing satisfaction.
At this moment, a huge roar that shook the sky came from a distance, and all the void monsters collectively stirred up as if they had taken medicine. One by one, the Void monsters began to withstand all kinds of artillery fire, arrows, and magic bullets, risking their lives to attack the defense line of the super barrier.
The centipede-like void monsters obviously have harder armor on their bodies, and their resistance to magic is also very high, and iron arrows falling on their bodies will only form small white dots one by one, and magic will not cause fatal damage when it falls on their heads and bodies. Only bed crossbows and artillery pose some threat to them. After escorting the shovel monsters to the foot of the city wall, the centipede spirits straightened up with all their strength, and inserted eight pairs of large limbs deep into the wall tiles of the super barrier, and then no matter what attack hit them, even if their heads were broken and their bodies were cracked, they did not move.
At this time, as the largest number of about 2 meters of the Void Scythe Monsters, like monkeys, stepping on the bodies of centipede spirits, jumping 6 or 7 meters to the city wall, they rushed upward, to live in the first place to find the protrusion of the edge of the rock, easy to borrow, if there is really no protrusion that can be borrowed, they will quickly insert four pairs of erected sickles into the city wall, and then use themselves as a fixed point on the wall, other monsters step on this ladder of the same kind, fast travel, In the blink of an eye, it climbed to more than half the distance.
Under the city walls, those shovel monsters more than 1 meter high are frantically digging holes under the ground, seemingly preparing to dig hundreds of tunnels and go straight to the super barrier.
"Logistics soldiers, hurry, hurry!! Splash the hot oil and the broth on it, quick!! ”
"Hurry up, hurry up!! Push the rocks and logs to the front, one, two, three, throw!! ”
On the city wall, a large piece of hot oil and golden soup poured down along the wall, after being scalded by the hot oil, many Void Scythe Monsters were scalded and flesh opened, and let out a painful squeaky sound, and then a huge rolling wood and grinding disc-sized stones fell down, and the Void Monsters fell from the city wall like dumplings, and at a height of several hundred meters, the scythe monsters that fell to the ground were broken and their flesh and blood were blurred.
"General Galen, the speed at which the little monsters about 1 meter tall dig holes is so fast, if they punch the hole and come in? Will our inner city be in danger? ”
Said a girl of short stature, holding a huge hammer that exceeded her height in her right hand and a huge golden shield in her left hand, shrouded in golden armor.
"Colonel Bobby, don't worry, not to mention the fact that there are more than 600 meters of depth between the outer and inner walls, in our inner city, but there is still that river, if they dig in, we will first burn it with fire, then smoke it with poisonous smoke, and finally backfill it with stones. If they dare to use this kind of burrow, we will backfill it with water from the inner city. Call them back and forth!! ”
As Galen had expected, after more than four hours of fighting, the many scouts in the inner city were all lying on the ground, putting their ears on the cups one by one, and the earpieces were buckled to the ground. Listening to the progress of the tunnels in the outer city, one scout after another stood up and planted the small red flags on their backs one by one on the predetermined points. More than a dozen huge wooden walls about 20 meters high and equipped with countless rollers on the lower wheels to be pushed enclosed in the area of these small flags. A small urn city with one side was formed.
At this moment, there was a sudden depression in the dirt under a small flag, and then a crater appeared in that position, and when the first Void Shovel monster grinned excitedly and waved a pair of small shovels to jump out of the hole and kill the Quartet, it was dumbfounded...... How is it another city wall? Looking up, the wall is not high, but what is shining in the sky? Before it could think about it, dozens of iron arrows had already turned it into a hedgehog, and the same scene was happening in various areas along the inner city.
When the first batch of small shovel monsters that invaded the inner city were all cleared, the wall moved a little gap, and a large group of soldiers with hay, firewood, sulfur, and quicklime in their hands lit these ignited objects, and threw the ignited items into the hole in the ground, and finally backfilled the hole with pieces of stones. In an instant, the cavern was filled with smoke and fire, and the smell of sulfur and quicklime powder filled the tunnel.
The second batch of shovel monsters are widening the tunnel, followed by the 2-meter-high sickle monster, even if they have entered the widening, the hole is too small for them, as a last resort, they have crawled into the tunnel, following behind the little shovel monster.
At this time, the poisonous smoke that spread to the whole tunnel, and the little shovel monsters were the first to resist the smell and smoke, and fled back from under the bodies of these two-meter-tall sickle monsters. However, because of their huge size, it was not easy for the sickles to turn around, and under the smoke of the smoke, they kept struggling and retreating, but in the end they did not escape a few.
After the failure of the tunnel attack, the Void Monsters put their energy into the frontal siege again, they went forward and attacked the city wall one after another, and the corpses of various monsters that died piled up densely under the outer city wall, and the height gradually increased, from four or five meters at the beginning, to seven or eight meters.
Five hours later, the corpse of the void monster under the city wall was already more than 30 meters high.
Looking at the groups of void monsters who died under the city, and the fresh forces of void monsters that were still dense like a tide on the horizon, Gario, who was standing beside Bobby, also had a sad face.
"These Void monsters seem to be tireless and endless? If they are allowed to use corpses as a slope, they may pose a real threat to the defenses of our walls. ”
"Hmph, leave the corpse? That's impossible!! The black oil we bought from Pittwolf, this is when it comes in handy. Someone, go and inform the storage troops, quickly transport the black oil to the various defense lines, and burn the corpses under the city walls. ”
"Yes, Shogun!!"
An hour later, the raging fire burned from under the walls of the super rampart, stretching for dozens of kilometers, forming a huge, spectacular fire dragon......
