Chapter 969: Storming the Castle
And after getting these grains, Li Ran gave another order, that is, to destroy all the buildings within the range of nearly five miles within the long-range attack range of the inner city, and for a while, with the various magic of the archmage, there was also a fire here.

For two whole days, while seeing the magic flying outside the city, and the soldiers on Li Ran's side were demolishing the building with high interest, the warriors of the Duke of Sells in this inner city were even more panicked, especially when they saw the six-meter-tall epic cloud giant in the crowd from the city wall, wielding a mace the size of a house, they felt even more desperate.
High Dragons! Elder Giants! Terrifying beasts! Ordinary warriors can't tell the difference between the silver dragon and the silver fire dragon, and they don't know what the ancient giants look like, as for the prehistoric beasts, they have seen a more powerful one before, that is the king of Moluga, but at this time it was either killed by the other party, or surrendered by the other party, and it is very likely that it will appear at any time to kill them like crushing an ant, so for a while, even if Duke Sells sent those commanders to popularize science to them in the past few days, they still deeply felt despair.
But it has come to this point, and Duke Sells can't easily admit defeat, although the development of this ancient elf castle is still in its infancy, but the warehouse can be used, and the warehouses here are all equipped with storage functions, although the appearance is just two ordinary rooms, but the internal space is huge, and the food stored in it is enough for the army for a year, so after the complete blockade of the inner city, he doesn't have to worry about food.
Judging from the fact that the other party invaded the outer city and rushed to collect grain and grass, the other party's food should be running out, and he regretted not listening to his friend's persuasion at this time, but he believed that as long as he stuck here, the other party's grain and grass would definitely not last too long, and the victory would still belong to him.
However, at this time, Li Ran, after seeing that the other party had been defending for nearly a week and had no counterattack, began to prepare for the siege.
However, unlike usual, Li Ran's siege this time appeared in the form of a squad, after trying out that there was no air defense barrier here, he sometimes harassed with archers and shield players, sometimes used dragons to dive in the middle of the night, and sometimes ordered barbarian warriors to shout and curse before the battle, so in the next few days, this small castle was attacked by Li Ran no less than thirty times.
Originally, the warriors in the city were still excited about finally coming to the battle, thinking that as long as they defeated these enemies, they would be able to sit back and relax, but after one, two, three, ten battles, they had no motivation after constantly assembling and waiting to return to the camp.
And what worries Duke Sells is that with this small-scale battle, even if they are in a defensive advantage, they have not taken advantage at all, not to mention those high elf marksmen, the most troublesome thing is the sneak attack of the dragon clan in the middle of the night, without turning on the luminous mode, these guys are strangling every time they dive over, plus their level and combat advantages, it is difficult for them to keep them, so far, except for one time when they flew away, they shot a silver fire dragon with a star-breaking crossbow, More than 2,000 fighters have died at their hands.
It was also at that time that Li Ran and the others knew that there was a large magical city defense weapon such as the Star Breaking Crossbow on the opposite side, and in the following few days, he also asked the Barranca Air Cavalry to carefully reconnoiter in the air, and found a total of more than forty objects suspected of being Star Breaking Crossbows, but the protective layer was covered on them.
If it were other legions, it might be depressed when it came to this situation, there were so many star-breaking crossbows, if the city was attacked, his large creatures could only rely on luck, but Li Ran didn't want those high-level troops he had managed to get to die on the bodies of these star-breaking crossbows.
A few days later, under his non-stop blows, the morale of the other party had dropped to the lowest, although he knew that this battle was still a little difficult, but at this time, Li Ran, who had little military food left, still decided to attack the city.
From the afternoon of the next day, as Li Ran's army began to assemble, although the soldiers of the Duke of Sells on the opposite side could barely form under the orders of commanders at all levels, the low morale made them somewhat frightened.
But what they didn't expect was that after the army of Duke Terryth was assembled, it did not attack immediately, but went back to rest, which made the warriors on the opposite side who had been nervous for a day sigh at the same time.
For the next three days, Duke Terryth had to do it once a day, and at the latest, they didn't assemble until night, which made the warriors on the other side a little numb.
Until this night, as the Duke of Terris gathered his forces outside, those warriors in the inner city were a little bored and watched, a group of silver fire dragons in the sky suddenly swooped down, and at this time, Li Ran's army suddenly began to charge, and it was the dozens of cloud giants with giant maces in their hands who walked in the forefront.
"Not good! The other party is really attacking the city! ā
"Quick! Fast! Blowing the trumpet and rallying the troops"
"Those ancient giants on the other side are here, hurry! Attack! ā
"It's not good, the city wall has been captured by the dragon clan, what about the elite army of adults"
"Bell~~" With a loud bang, in the midst of a rapid shout from the commander of Duke Sers's side, the cloud giant's mace slammed on the gate of the inner city, making a dull knocking sound similar to metal.
And at this moment, from these silver fire dragons and some epic five-colored dragons that fell on the city wall, a group of silver dragon warriors with giant scale armor shields also jumped down, and after they saw the silver fire dragon and the five-colored dragon put them down and killed those warriors who were deployed around them, they did not step forward to help, but followed behind to defend these star-breaking crossbows in batches.
Although there were only six or seven hundred of these silver dragon warriors who jumped down, each of them reached the standard of the legendary rank or above, and in the case of guarding the more than twenty star-breaking crossbows that were located above the city gate and were the most threatening below, there were twenty or thirty people at each star-breaking crossbow, plus his more than two hundred silver fire dragons and five-colored dragons above the legendary level, they still had a certain degree of confidence in defending the city wall.
This high elf royal family, the castle built with maple copper is good, the only drawback is that there is no air defense barrier, whether this system has failed in the long years, or the Sells side has not developed it, but for them with air supremacy, it is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
And the gate also built with maple purple refined copper, even if it is strong, maybe the vast majority of the troops are helpless against it, but under the weapons of the cloud giants in various states, it also began to slowly deform, a few minutes later, when Li Ran's army entered the city gate, the soldiers in the Duke of Sells's military camp who still thought it was a routine assembly came slowly at the urging of the commander, and when they came over to see that even the city gate was broken at this time, these soldiers who were already low morale were even more afraid.
Although the strength of the army was only half of the opponent's, Li Ran's army still came in one go, and after dividing his troops to climb the city wall and controlling those star-breaking crossbows at the first time, Li Ran also began to command the battle on the ground.
I have to say that Duke Sells's concentration and command ability are really good, even in this situation, he did not panic at all, but accurately issued instructions to various corps, and for a while, the legions led by Li Ran could not break through the opponent's defensive line on the periphery.
When ordering the Golden-winged Flying Ape to lead the clan to deal with the surrounding sentry posts, Li Ran also let the minotaur totem warriors behind him charge, but only broke the opponent's outer defense line, but the core warriors of the inner layer of Duke Sells resisted these heroic minotaurs to the death, and in this, what Li Ran didn't expect was that this Duke still had so many powerful troops.
It's a pity that the Moluga King hasn't surrendered yet, otherwise with it present, the battle at this time might be much simpler, Li Ran, who saw all this, frowned slightly, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a hundred fire giants above the legendary rank again, including several epic rank captains.
And with their joining, Duke Sells's defense line was finally a little overwhelmed, but just when Li Ran saw that some of the other warriors were already choosing a way to retreat, thinking that they had won the battle, at this time, hundreds of high platforms suddenly rose from this square.
Each of these platforms was about fifty square meters, and although it was not possible to place a magic giant crossbow like the Starbreaker, an ordinary ballista and several crossbowmen were placed on top of it at this time.
Although it is a bit sudden, it is said that these cannot be a dangerous obstacle, Li Ran has so many dragon clans, and he can kill the crossbowmen above with a few casual kills, but the trouble is that half of the more than 100 high platforms are surrounded by magic aura, and at a glance, he knows that it is the kind of energy aura that can resist any attack.
More than a hundred ballistas and hundreds of condescending crossbowmen dealt a serious blow to their warriors in an instant, although Li Ran reacted quickly and ordered the Flying Ape Corps to rush forward in time to eliminate those crossbowmen who were not protected by energy rings, but there were dozens of others who were still shooting desperately, especially when those giant crossbows aimed at those large higher creatures, the situation was very urgent.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned a large number of bloodthirsty and violent rhinos, Li Ran used them to quickly rush away the opponent's defense line, and disrupted the formation to form a melee with the opponent, after making the crossbowmen above unable to concentrate their attacks and minimize the casualties, Li Ran also immediately asked the silver fire dragon to try to start attacking those crossbowmen who were protected by the energy ring.
