Chapter 182: Battle (2) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass
These heavy machines were built by the Earl of Marshall after he came to Rock Town, but because it was winter, all kinds of raw materials were difficult to transport, and the progress has always been very slow, until today there are only dozens of ballistas and more than 30 catapults.

The precision of these machines is very high, and the power is not small, but they are not easy to move, and the angle adjustment is very slow, so it is useless to arrange them at the front, so they are arranged at the end.
At this time, these heavy equipment began to exert their might, huge crossbow arrows, and huge stones poured down from the top of the monsters, that is called a miserable, as long as those monsters are defeated, they are basically crushed, and even the meat is gone. Solam saw a jackal being hit by a giant crossbow arrow, but unexpectedly, he was directly shot and torn apart.
Don't think that crossbow arrows are just piercing, the arrows of these crossbow arrows are made to be extremely wide, and with the power of the ballista, it is no different from a cannonball.
To be honest, are these heavy assault weapons really lethal? In fact, that's it, these things are too bulky, and each launch has to wait half a day before it can be launched again. And even if you hit the target, you can't kill a few people. In addition, the cost is expensive, the maintenance is troublesome, and the damage rate is also very high. Compared to the bow and crossbow, the cost performance is very low.
On the battlefield just now, there were more monsters killed by bows and crossbows than those ballistas and catapults.
But humans are not fools, so why make these things? In fact, to put it bluntly, it is for deterrence, it is too normal to be killed on the battlefield, but if it is smashed into a meat patty, or torn apart by a ballista, it is a bit too terrifying, which can be a good blow to morale, after all, no one will like this way of dying.
Sometimes, things are just so strange, it's all the same death, what death looks like, is there a difference? In the eyes of outsiders, there is no difference, but in the eyes of insiders, this is a big difference, after all, this kind of death is too miserable. Those monsters thought the same way, and when they saw their companions suddenly fall apart, or be stoned into meatloaf, the spirits of those monsters immediately collapsed.
Even though he knew that he would be killed by the ogre if he retreated, he couldn't help but run backwards.
At the same time, the slaughter of monsters by mages and priests also began, first of all, spells, and the members of those mage groups threw one by one attacking spells into the monster group without money.
"Dead Clouds", "Poison Cloud", "Cloud Incineration", "Fireball", "Burst Fireball", "Delayed Burst Fireball", "Fire Rain", "Energy Blast", "Negative Energy Burst", "Ice Storm", "Lightning Chain", "Monster Immobilization", "Group Monster Immobilization", "Enchantment", "Powerful Enchantment", "Chaos Fury", "Damage", "Mass Damage", "Flame Weaving Strike", "Monster Swap", "Advanced Monster Swap", "Fall" (Summons a meteorite to crash down from the sky, Level 6 Divine Technique, Weakened Meteorstorm)" Firestorm"
This series of spells accompanied by arrows, boulders, and crossbow arrows immediately caused the monsters to start a big mess. When have these monsters ever seen this kind of scene, they are all scared half to death, those colorful lights look very beautiful, but when they touch it, they burp, it is too weird, so they are naturally scared and run around.
Seeing that the battlefield in front of him was already in chaos, the two-headed ogre was a little anxious, so it wouldn't work.
"Chief! Let's go! If we don't do it, we're really going to lose! ā
"It's not us, it's me! You two are ready with the last of the food, if I break through the human defenses, you will bring people to kill, and if I fail, you can run with the last few hundred people of the clan, and the food should be enough for you. With that, the old ogre stuffed several dimensional bags into the hands of the two-headed ogre.
These grains were secretly hidden by the old ogre, who had been worried about the future of the tribe, and had been preparing them ever since they were defeated and controlled by the orcs and the dark trios. These grains and dimensional bags are the fruits of its endurance and stealing life, but they are not enough, these grains are far from enough, there are too many ogres in the tribe, and this bit of food is completely insufficient.
So the old ogre made up his mind a long time ago, and it put its last hope on the two-headed ogre, who was stronger, smarter, and more potential than it. Putting the hope of the tribe on it, the old ogre was relieved.
"Chief! We ......" Murissa was about to say something, but was interrupted by the old ogre.
"Listen, Meurissae, I hurt the tribe, if it weren't for me, we wouldn't be here, and if it weren't for me, we wouldn't be controlled by those evil gods. And today, we have to find a way out for the tribe. That would have to sacrifice a part of your clan, and you shouldn't be guilty of it. I'm already a sinner, I don't care about this anymore, I don't expect my ancestors to forgive me, that's all I can do now, remember that if I don't go well ahead, don't hesitate, run immediately, don't look back. ā
"Chief!" Murissa couldn't hold it anymore, there were tears in his eyes, it had been raised by the old ogre since he was a child, and it was better to say that he was a subordinate than a father and son. It was clever enough to know that the chief was going to die, to die for the future of the tribe. Either defeat the human race, or sacrifice most of the tribe, in short, for the future of the tribe.
"Don't cry! We don't have weak chiefs in the Broken Bone Tribe! You will be a chief from now on, remember, don't be emotional, everything is for the tribe. With that, the old ogre patted the two heads of the two-headed ogre, then pulled off the animal skin on his body and walked in front of all the ogres. The old ogre looked very old, but the muscles on his body were still abnormally developed, and it was not only covered with many strange totems, but also covered with large and small wounds.
The old ogre gasped, and in the cold air, its breath immediately turned into two white smokes, making it look hideous, and he picked up a huge battle axe and came to all the people.
"Warriors of the Broken Bone Tribe! The enemy is in front of me, who will dare to rush with me? ā
Seeing the old chief say this, the irascible and belligerent ogre could not hold back, so they all took up their weapons and began to roar! These guys with low IQs are easily provoked to anger, and they don't need any rhetoric at all, just come directly.
The two-headed ogre and the remaining priests took out all the scrolls and began to unleash their magic.
"Crowd Spell Defense", "Crowd Bull Power", "Crowd Bear Tenacity", "Crowd Blessing", "Crowd Belief Shield", "Crowd Support", "Dark Guardian", "Fear Mark", "Evil Thought Barrier", "Poison Blessing", "Damage Blessing", "Free Movement", "Mental Tenacity"
"The ancestors are above!"
"The ancestors are above! The ancestors are above! The ancestors are above! ā
When the blessing of the divine art is completed, the next step will be easy, the old ogre's battle axe pointed, and the other cannibals rushed out with a roar.
And the old ogre was not idle, it asked a few ogres to drive out a group of giants, these giants are all cyclops, about 4 meters tall, ugly appearance, low IQ, the most striking is their one-eyed, muddy, without any agility, as if lost soul, at the same time there is blood in it.
The old ogre pointed with his hand, and the giants gasped and rushed out. The old ogre looked back at the small number of people who remained, nodded at the two-headed ogre, and then rushed forward without hesitation.
"Murissah, do you think the chief can succeed?" Crick couldn't hold it back any longer, and said to his brother with tears in his eyes.
"I don't know, I just know, we must hold the tribe!" Merissa didn't look at the crying Creek, just looked at the back of the old ogre with blank eyes.
Soon the ogres rushed into the battle group, and those ogres were more or less blessed with divine magic, and they quickly rushed in front of the humans with spells, and those slaves who stood in the way were either kicked out or simply killed.
"Quick! Cavalry strikes! "As soon as he saw the ogre in battle, the Earl of Marshall immediately ordered the cavalry to charge.
And the heavy infantry in front has begun to fight hard with the ogre, although whether it is discipline or equipment, the human side has completely exploded the ogre, but it is still useless, the ogre has now fallen into a semi-crazy state, coupled with terrifying strength, the hoplites at the front have suffered heavy casualties as soon as they come into contact with the ogre, and the front line of defense has begun to waver.
The light infantry has always been supporting the hoplites, helping to kill some fish that slipped through the net, and at the same time protecting the rear, but now there is no choice but to go up and help the heavy infantry stabilize the formation. Although the hoplites are very powerful, but in the end they are hoplites, they can't be very flexible, and it's okay to deal with other monsters, and it's hard to hit, but this trick is not very good for ogres.
But the light infantry is different, although the defensive power is not as good as the heavy infantry, but the flexibility is greatly advantaged, so these light infantry are very skilled and the remaining heavy infantry form a battle team, cooperate with each other, and gradually stabilize the formation.
At the same time, the crossbowmen, who lacked protection, began to carry their crossbows behind their backs, took out their weapons and began to defend themselves, and also began to sweep away some monsters that passed through the formation from the chaos.
The mages began to summon constructs, starting with the simplest clay golems, more than 30 in total, these constructs made of magic clay have a good defense against piercing and blunt attacks, but the defense against slashing is average.
Fifteen more stone golems appeared, all of which were made of precious obsidian, bulky and hard, with powerful attacks.
And the last to appear is the steel golem, these all-steel cast golems are considered the best of the golems, but the cost is too expensive, so only 5 appeared.
These golems are all 3 meters tall, powerful, and not afraid of damage, as long as they are not completely destroyed, they will continue to fight. However, due to cost and technical reasons, it has been rarely equipped with the army.
The arrival of these colossias completely stabilized the defensive line.
