Chapter 549: Meteor Shower
What Higg didn't know was that his actions in the past two days had exploded in the magic guild in Bobo City.
Yesterday's strange heavy rain, the magicians of the Bobo Hua City Magic Guild were just suspicious, and this morning it was another cold and freezing, and they were even more convinced of the existence of magic mages in Bobo Hua City.
But they didn't see Delonso go to the Magic Guild to restore his magic powers, but they only saw Higg coming repeatedly, and tonight when Higg was about to enter the magic tower again, he was stopped by the magic elder Pudesov and a group of wizards in Bobo Hua City.
Elder Pudesov asked Higg, "Marshal, where is Master Dronso?" Why didn't you visit our Magic Guild when you came to Bobo Hua City, didn't you look down on us? ”
Higg was surprised and said, "Delongso? That old man isn't in Bobohua City, what's the matter, Elder Pudesov, you're looking for him? ”
"Absent?" Pudesov asked in astonishment, "Isn't the strange phenomenon in Bobohua City the work of Master Delonso in the past two days?" ”
"How does this handsome know?" Higg pretended to be surprised, "Ben Shuai has been busy with the war these days, where do you have the leisure to care if that old man has come to Bobo Hua City, if you see him, please let me know, I still have some things to ask him for help!" ”
"What?" Pudesov couldn't believe it, he couldn't be sure if what Higg said was true or false, but not Delongso, who could it be? Unwillingly, Pudesov continued to ask: "Lord Marshal, what is the purpose of going to the magic tower to replenish mana these days?" ”
Higg smiled: "What a joke, Ben Shuai led the whole city to defend the invasion of strong enemies, the magic power consumption is huge, and there are many magic guides and magic apprentices in the army who come here to replenish their magic power, what's so strange about this?" Could it be that the elder is interested in supporting some of Ben Shuai's magic apprentices or magic masters? It's okay not to go to the city wall, assist in logistics, and heal everyone's injuries, which won't violate the rules of the magic guild, right? ”
Pudesov, who didn't ask anything from Higg, was disappointed, but he didn't expect to be led by Higg, and he was hesitating, only to hear Higg say again: "This marshal is busy with military affairs, and the whole city is a soldier and a man who is dead, if you don't have anything important, this marshal will go and get busy first!" The crime of disrespect, after the commander retreats from the enemy, he will come to the door to thank you! With that, he turned around and entered the portal, leaving behind a group of stunned wizards and Pudesov.
Magic mages participate in secular disputes, it is not trivial, even if they don't know what the legendary magic mage association is, Delongso, the magic mage, is a member of the magic guild after all, and it is absolutely not allowed to participate in secular disputes, the strange phenomenon of Bobo Hua City in the past two days has made them really unable to sit still, if it is not De Longso, then this matter is even more shocking to the world, the magic guild of Bobo Hua City may not be ranked in the Alasia Empire, let alone in Middle-earth, they really dare not hide this matter, After discussion, I had to report to the headquarters of the Magic Guild, the Rainbow Island Magic Academy, and the Rainbow Island Magic Academy came forward to investigate.
There is a portal passage, and the four major wizards of the Rainbow Island Magic Academy quickly received this shocking news from Bobo Hua City, and the four old men were extremely shocked, because only they knew that since it was not Delongso who did it, there was only one person who could do it, and that was Higg, this kid, who was only in his early thirties, thought that he had delayed a lot of time in his magic attainments because he was busy with mundane things, and he still had a long way to go to become a magic mage, but he didn't expect that he would become a god nearly ten years earlier than Delongso, What kind of horror is this? Becoming a magic mage at the age of thirty is not unheard of in the history of Middle-earth, but it is definitely very rare, not to mention that this kid is not a simple magic mage, but a heroic magic mage who has many strengths and is unique in the world, which completely subverts their imagination. It's just that this hero magic mage does not belong to any magic guild, that is to say, even if it is the Rainbow Island Magic Academy, it has no right to interfere with what he does, as for the legendary magic mage association, whether he can restrain him, I don't know, even if he can, where to find the magic mage association?
The four old men are not stupid, they can't announce the news yet, first, they haven't seen it with their own eyes to be sure, and they don't dare to draw conclusions; The second is that they have no authority to do so without Higg's permission; The third is that Higg's strength, they can no longer be restrained, if they destroy Higg's plan for the Fifth Legion and spoil his affairs, it will inevitably make the Magic Guild make a feud with Higg and unite with the Fifth Army, and the Higg Guild will cause endless trouble even if it is not afraid; Fourth, they are willing to believe that Higg is a person with a great commission, and he is by no means a great evil, and now he can only control himself by relying on his own personal self-control, and any attempt to stimulate Higg will lead to complication of things, you know, the magic mage is a god-like existence in Middle-earth; The fifth point, Rainbow Island, as the headquarters, if you know that it is Higg's so-called, but you can't control it, then the credibility of the Academy of Magic and the reputation of the four old men will be questioned by the magic guilds all over the world, so you can only handle it carefully.
The four old men with complicated emotions agreed to Bobo Huacheng's request to investigate the ins and outs of this matter, but they needed to immediately convene the elders of the world's major magic guilds to discuss countermeasures, so as not to rush to the conclusion of the investigation and complicate the matter. In short, the strategy of the four old men is to delay, but it is necessary to place the investigation in private, and it is also necessary to summon representatives of the world's major magic guilds to come to discuss on the surface, but the process of deliberation, the four old men can control the time, and the discussion for one day is a discussion, and the discussion for ten days is also a discussion, which is controlled by themselves. When the situation in the Fifth Army became clear, they also believed that Higg would give them a reasonable explanation.
(Of course, this is a later story, the action of Rainbow Island, insert it here in advance, so as not to mess up the follow-up content, the author does not describe it in detail, or to return to the battlefield of Bobo Hua City!) )
……
Higg came out of the Magic Guild after dawn, believing that even without him, his soldiers and citizens would be up to the battle.
Higg was right, but it was only on the walls. A large number of citizens poured onto the city wall, using all kinds of strange earth tricks did cause a lot of casualties and distress to the besieging army, plus the opponent's crossbow chariot lost more than half, so that Ma Potter had no way to force a breakthrough on the city wall, but the city gate was different.
The moat outside the south city gate has been filled with stones and stone bullets thrown by catapults last night, and the entire city gate tower is also dilapidated, Ma Potter used a death squad to transport the sand to the moat outside the south city gate that has been filled with stones, and the potholed stone road is tamped with a sand balance, and at the same time clean up the scattered stones on the ground, although it has paid the price of thousands of casualties, but the results are remarkable, and a passage has been opened up for the siege vehicles, and then, all the catapults are disassembled and transported to the east city gate, and continue to fill the moat.
Ma Pot, who had lost nearly 50,000 men in two days, could no longer take care of so much at this time, and ordered the death squad to continue to cover the siege vehicles to attack the south gate.
The city gate is always the entrance and exit of a city, and it is also the weakest place in the city defense, although there is a city gate tower to guard, but in the face of the enemy who is determined to win, the city gate tower is about to collapse.
"Knock-knock-" One after another dull loud noises, shaking the whole city, the south gate under the impact of the enemy's siege vehicles, not only the entire city gate tower collapsed more than half, even the city walls on both sides, the ground is violently trembling, the city walls on both sides of the city gate even began to loosen a little, the bricks and stones on the wall fell scattered and scattered, stirring up bursts of dust and smoke.
The siege vehicle was pulled by sixteen bulls, and a special person was responsible for directing these bulls to pull the siege vehicle rhythmically and rhythmically, so that the giant trees hanging on the siege vehicle were thicker than the bulls, and they rhythmically hit the solid and heavy iron city gate.
There is no kind of city gate that can withstand the continuous impact of such siege vehicles, and the soldiers defending the city on the city walls and gate towers are not without action, even crossbow chariots, crossbowmen, marksmen, and even catapults and magicians are constantly attacking fiercely towards the siege vehicle phalanx, but with little success.
The siege vehicle phalanx is protected by heavy shield soldiers, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and only the * car shot * can break through this heavy shield, but it is only able to shoot one shield soldier, and soon the position of the enemy who was shot was filled by other shield soldiers. The siege vehicle phalanx in front of the city gate is almost a dead end for the company * car on both sides of the city wall on the south city gate, and there are not a few company * cars that can shoot at all, not to mention, the enemy under the city has concentrated a large number of crossbow chariots to suppress the fire on both sides of the south city gate, and wants to complete the battle and break through the south city gate in one fell swoop.
The magicians on the tower of the city gate were almost helpless, because the opponent's siege vehicle phalanx was also covered by magicians, and the entire phalanx was protected layer by layer, and there was nothing to be done about this iron-clad phalanx.
Behind the siege vehicle phalanx, the opposing paladin legion, its corps of soldiers is ready to rush into the city as soon as the city gate is breached......
"Brush-brush-brush-boom-boom-boom-" At the last moment, Hig returned to the south gate tower, and released a meteor fire shower towards the siege vehicle phalanx, dozens of boulders burst into flames, like a meteor disappearing at a speed, falling from the sky, smashing into the siege vehicle phalanx, within a range of hundreds of square meters, immediately a sea of fire, what heavy shields, what brute bulls, what magicians, what heavy siege vehicles, everything is floating clouds, either smashed into flesh by boulders, or seriously injured by the fire, The arrogant siege vehicle phalanx seemed to be completely swallowed by the meteor rain with a flick of a finger, and the phalanx of five or six hundred people, only twenty or thirty people escaped in a hurry, and a few brute bulls were on fire, stringing around in the direction of the outside of the city, and even the paladin legion had to make evasive moves.
Heroes, it seems, always rush out of the trenches at the last moment!
Potter, who fell short, was angry and annoyed, but more of a shock and shock, the siege party that originally wanted to go all out was like a deflated ball in an instant, and his morale plummeted.
On the city wall, there was a burst of cheers on the city gate, and Sig glanced back at Maria and Iona, and the two eyeballs in the dark circles were staring at the scene below the city, with their mouths wide open, unable to say a word......
