Chapter 1661: On the Upside-Down Application of City Building
Liszt and Elliott are two young people who have just turned twenty years old, but because one is Zhengtai and the other is Luotai, some people believe that they are high school students. At this time, they were leading a large group of battle mages whose average age was at least fifteen years older than them, and they began to construct magic circles on Tianqiao Island.
In the process, with the exception of Amin's troops, who were firing tentatively at the 1st and 2nd Legions on both sides of the Thorn Bridge, all the members of the Rose Legion stopped advancing.
For a time, on the vast battlefield composed of the entire archipelago, in addition to the fierce fighting on both sides, there was a period of "peace" on the main battlefield of the Chinese armies on both sides.
"What is this going to do?" Marshal Mencius looked suspiciously at the opposing spellcasters who had drawn up the magic circle, thinking that he was also experienced in a hundred battles, but he had never seen this kind of operation. There must have been at least twenty or thirty spellcasters lined up there, and that should be the majority of the members of the Fourth Legion's permanent battle mages. What is this kind of precious, strong, but fragile class of troops, not under the heavy protection of ordinary miscellaneous soldiers, but rushing to the front line?
There is a demonic spirit! Mencius said to himself.
"Marshal, do you want the Divine Aircraft Team to be dispatched now and attack closely." Colonel Ymir asked.
"No...... It's not time yet. Marshal Mencius was expressionless.
"But, uh, the lower official is rude."
Colonel Ymir felt that he would lose his job if he continued to talk about it, but he didn't know what Marshal Mencius was thinking, if the goddess blessed this level and really crossed it, the first thing he would do when he returned was to send this fool to Khadgar Island to raise large-mouthed frogs.
Let's let someone test it, you can't do nothing. Mencius pondered. However, before he could give this order, a group of about five or six hundred men and horses on the front line broke away from the array and ran towards the eastern edge of the island.
The marshal's face sank at once.
"It's Joan and Yaswar's troops, the twin brothers of the Wilambat family." Colonel Ymir hurriedly said.
The rabble of noble lords' private soldiers, territorial levies, and mercenaries is such a maneuver. The deployment units of its army are not divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, or regiments, regiments, brigades, etc., which are clearly organized and well-staffed. The troop cluster brought by a certain family or even a certain lord is an independent combat unit, and how many people it has, what kind of troop configuration, equipment, training, and morale are all just metaphysics.
Of course, those 500 people belonged to the Wilanbat family, the head of the gate, and their private soldiers were well equipped and trained. The brothers Joan and Yaswar, who lead the team, are also high-profile young spellcasters, descendants of the Violet family...... However, all of the above is not a reason for them to go their own way on the battlefield.
"Let them return to their places right away!" The marshal snorted.
The heralds, who had already seen the opportunity, quickly passed, and Colonel Ymir hurriedly said: "They are the sons of Lieutenant General Iken Wielambat, who died in Steelrose Castle, so ......"
So he must want to avenge his father, right? How about I give them the opportunity to follow the classical spellcaster etiquette, walk to the front of the battle with a staff, and challenge Lucy Berencaster with dignity? Anyway, the two of them are twenty years old this year, right? The opponent is not much bigger than them, and if it really can't be done, everything will be on the top, and it won't be considered a big bully.
Lucy Berencaster will agree.
The marshal looked at his lieutenant, who silently lowered his head, and then all the words were out of his mouth.
I've said so much, I'm worthy of the big meals you two invited me to eat and the little tender model the night before. Two sons, please ask for more blessings for yourself. Colonel Ymir thought.
Let's drive this idiot to Prison Gate Island to see the scenery of the north. The marshal thought.
These two young masters of the Wilambat family are indeed going to ask for more blessings for themselves, because their behavior has become an example for many people. Before the heralds could reach the camp, several smaller groups left the overall array and followed them.
The last thing Marshal Mencius wanted to see finally happened. Of course, in the midst of misfortune, fortunately, those who were unorganized and undisciplined were a group of stunned troops, and the total number was a little more than 2,000 people.
"However, on the battlefield, every manpower is extremely precious, don't you understand such a simple truth? Am I actually carrying such a group of giant babies against the conquerors of Orgrimmar? These guys are like this...... The same is true of the so-called elites such as Dunbolay and Rudolph! If there were 15,000 of them, at least the two flanks of the front would be completely stable. ”
Marshal Mencius continued to be distracted. He really has no objection to mobilizing some people to come forward to observe, or even try to attack, but he can't tolerate the people below doing their own thing. He had already decided that no matter who those guys were, who they were, when they returned, no matter whether they won or lost, they must hang their heads on the flagpole and show them to the public.
At this time, the young disciples of the noble gate lord no longer knew that their fate had been decided. At this moment, these young people who still have a little blood in their hearts feel nostalgic for the ambitions of their predecessors, and suddenly feel that their passion is burning, their fighting spirit is high, and their blood is full of endless power all the time. They will be the forerunners of this epic battle, and even if they die on the battlefield, they will go down in history; Even if we die in battle, we must show our roots to that despicable traitor.
That's how young people who feel like martyrs start moving forward. They led their respective subordinates, divided into seven or eight formations that could barely be considered a phalanx, and after several minutes of unremarkable marching, they finally stopped at the easternmost edge of Dongmen Island, and confronted the enemy on the westernmost side of Tianqiao Island opposite, across an average of more than 300 meters of sky.
Three hundred meters, which is already beyond the range of most crossbowmen, and also beyond the effective range of most attack magic. But what else in the world can be found to be close to this group of teenagers? Isn't there a saying that if you have roots, you can overcome all difficulties, overcome all obstacles, and make the impossible possible.
If you can't do it, it must be that you don't have enough roots. If you can't do it, isn't there still life?
After a short period of deliberation, the group of angry youths who kept the boss's orders began to act. They pooled the best ranged weapons in the group and retreated to the front of the formation, twelve scorpion crossbows and three flame repeaters. Five young magicians dressed in exquisite robes and who looked like the children of famous families put out a five-pointed star array, cast spells together, and instantly placed a magic guard array on the ballista position. In addition, Uncle Norweed did give birth to two good sons, and they concentrated on casting spells and began to enchant a platform for the ballista door in front of them.
If you do it like this, the Tianqiao Island here, as well as Liszt and his party who are arranging the magic circle, will be within range.
Judging from their seasoned spell-casting rhythm that is quite inconsistent with their immature age, they should have received quite strict magical training since their teenage years, and if nothing else, their future achievements as spellcasters will at least be inferior to their father, who is already in Iron Rose Castle.
This scene, of course, also fell on Lu Xi's eyes...... Well, in perception.
"The head of the gate valve is well deserved. With such a laver family in Nuoda, there should still be a lot of talents among the younger generation. Lu Xi smiled at Akdina.
"Isn't it amazing? The twelve scorpion crossbows are all enchanted with three-ring demonic weapons and wind control enchantments, which can indeed enhance a certain power and range. However, wouldn't it be better to use the thunder entanglement of the five rings, the splash of fire, and the enchantment of atmospheric shuttle? Akdina blinked at her two large ruby red eyes, blankly.
Lu Xi was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "Little Dina, don't talk like this in the future." Very hateful. Also, don't say you learned it from me! ”
The little girl "giggled", needless to say, the smile was naturally super cute, but Lu Xi said that I was blind anyway and I couldn't see, and then nodded to Colonel Grimmar.
The cool colonel raised the order flag and waved it a few times with even cooler movements.
Then the artillerymen pushed twenty reapers, and arched out of the crowd.
These things don't have to be enchanted with complicated processes, they don't have to be scrambled to wind and load ballista after ballista, and they don't have to talk about range...... Oh no!
As soon as the cannons stood firm, they fired a direct salvo, and there was no sense of ritual in even hitting (meow) cannons, and at first glance, these people were inferior people who were destined to have no relationship with the nobility. The shells set off a dozen blazing sparks in the crowd, engulfing both the ballistas and the gunners in a deadly shock wave and shrapnel, only to let out a "Boom!" The loud noise.
Yes, the shield could not reach the bombardment of the cannonballs, and was completely destroyed the moment the exploding wind and the magical light curtain came into contact. The young mage who had formed the pentagram seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground as he convulsed. The twins, who were still concentrating on casting spells, were even more tragic, and they were directly swept into the center of the explosion, completely without bones.
Also missing were the expensive scorpion and flame crossbows, as well as hundreds of soldiers.
The angry teenagers felt the weight of reality in their first battle, and they were stunned on the spot, and then they were carried back by their retreating men. Of course, they could not continue to experience the joy of growth, and were soon beheaded by Marshal Mencius, who was even more angry, and ordered a whole row with spears.
Anyway, Marshal Mencius wasn't prepared to think about anything in the future.
After this little episode, the noble army here didn't dare to step forward to make a mistake, so the casters of the Fourth Legion arranged a large-scale complex magic circle, walked into the star position in the array, and began to cast spells.
Because it was too far away, Marshal Mencius couldn't hear the other party's spell and couldn't see the structure of the circle clearly, but he who had mastered the ancient lord's battle banner felt the unnatural fluctuations of the elements at the first time. The fluctuations came from under their feet, from the stable earth, like an earthquake.
"Earth elemental! This is...... Fortification? No, maybe on a larger scale. Well, can you still use it like this? ”
As we all know, fortification is also quite famous for strategic magic. Through the addition and use of large magic circles, the casters can change the terrain in a short period of time and pull a wall on the ground alive. The so-called overnight city building is really not news in this world, and it is not uncommon to build a city in one hour and ten minutes to build a city.
Of course, the size of the "city" and how long it can last depends entirely on the ability of the casters.
Mencius certainly couldn't have doubted the other party's abilities. Although Lu Xi himself didn't seem to make a move, since he belonged to the Sky Rose Legion that conquered Orgrimmar, and since he was a member of this hero group, how could he be a weakling.
This "city" will definitely be built, and the scale will not be small...... So, what if this wall is leaning over?
Marshal Mencius suddenly understood the other party's intentions and stood up.
"Your Excellency, let the God Fleet ......"
"No, keep on standby!" The marshal bit a voice from between his teeth, took a few deep breaths, and put all the internal injuries and anger behind him, he pinched a handprint in his left hand, closed his eyes and absorbed his soul, and in an instant he reached communication with the ancient elemental battle banner behind the army base camp.
"Dreadnought, I need your help!"
"Understood." The voice of neither male nor female, neither near nor far, sounded ethereal in Mencius's heart, and then dissipated ethereally. But then, the invisible will turned into an invisible law of interference, heading towards the earth elements that were gathering over there.
Almost everyone present, including those spellcasters, could not see that this invisible force was invading, but in Lu Xi's field of vision, which closed his eyes tightly, all this was invisible. He clearly saw that in the endless darkness, the power of the colossal law turned into a hazy giant, waving its arms, and flew from the distant sky. It waved its arms, opened its huge mouth, and let out a silent roar. However, those lively and comfortable energy elements trembled as if they had encountered a natural enemy, and they hibernated in the shadows of the space one by one, and they no longer dared to move their heads.
Naturally, the mages also felt the coldness of the elements for the first time, and the operation of the magic circle began to stop.
"Learn ...... Excellency? ”
"Keep casting." Lu Xi said in a deep voice. He closed his eyes tightly, observing the arrogant invisible giant in front of him, and then smiled sarcastically.
Do you think that only you know what the law is? The embodiment of the Elemental Lords.
Lu Xi raised a hand, and the chaotic power released condensed into a dark and gloomy gray mist in the elemental world, and then gathered into the shape of a spear.
"See this?"
The giant stopped moving, and also stopped roaring.
"Go back!"
The giant shrank his head, trembled and turned into a ray of light, and fled in the direction he had come.
"I just like to bully this type of machine spirit." Lu Xi said to Kitty.
What kind of type is this? The Girl wanted to ask, but considering what she had been doing, it was better for her to be an honest staff that didn't speak.
The modified city building spell circle once again worked smoothly, and even more quickly, probably because the earth element that had been scared just now had a revenge mentality. In short, the slight tremor on the ground finally turned into the deafening roar of the earthquake, which resounded non-stop. Rocks and dirt grew like weeds after a rainstorm from the edges of the islands on both sides, and slowed down a hundredfold.
Ten minutes later, the overpass and the east gate, two large islands separated by more than 300 meters, were put together by artificially created "city walls". If someone who doesn't know sees it, I'm afraid they will think that this is an island at all.
"What the caster needs is imagination. This is the fundamental way not to be eliminated in the ever-changing industrial world of the future, and you can do it. Lu Xi stepped forward, patted Liszt and Elliott on the shoulder, and then when the two 10,000-year-old Zhengtai fans were flushed and helpless, they turned over and jumped on the back of the game Forles, and strode to the front of the three armies.
He turned around and waved his hand in front of the cardboard box. "I have paved the way for you. Tell me, my comrades-in-arms, what are we going to do next? ”
"Ravage them!"
