"Chapter 297: Heavy Casualties"
''That damn light!'' ‘’
After barely getting up from the ground, I already understood the meaning of this light. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the first arcane blast was over, two powerful rays of light were fired from the center of the spire, carrying even more powerful energy. At this time, as a high-ranking warrior, I was on the edge of the moat, dozens of meters away from the outer city wall. But under these arcane impacts, even with Mei Long's cover and the protection of the talisman on my body, I was thrown four or five meters away and fell to the ground.
Arcane Shock is a lilac shockwave, which looks far less gorgeous than the magic of a great mage, but the power and terrifying momentum contained in it are unbearable. This impact will not be delivered only once, but in waves three to five times, and the power will not be diminished in the slightest. Under the arcane impact, which affects the flow of the atmosphere more than a whirlwind, the buildings around the tower began to shatter from the rooftops, and in less than a few seconds they were reduced to rubble. The outer city was far more affected than the inner city, the roofs of the houses were directly overturned, the stones and bricks were shocked and flew into the sky, the rock-made guard towers and bunkers also collapsed in the impact, and the buildings in the outer city collapsed faster than the earthquake under the impact. And even the immensely strong city walls, after the arcane impact, the outer wall skin and stones fell one after another, revealing the black lazuli inside.
A sturdy house can not withstand the injury, let alone the muscles and bones of a person. In this impact, most of the skeleton troops that charged forward failed to survive the first impact, and were blown apart and dismembered the moment the impact arrived, and even those large skeletons could not withstand the three consecutive arcane impacts and shattered into several pieces. The goblins were like encountering a strong wind, and they were thrown into the sky directly by the impact of their weak and light bodies, and the internal organs of their bodies began to shatter under the impact, and finally fell to the ground with a whimper. The strong barbarians withstood the first arcane attack, but still fell to the ground in the next two attacks, and all but a few of the barbarians were scarred when they got back up.
The archers' bodies could not withstand the damage of the arcane impact, and they quickly hid behind large units like the giants, although they still suffered some internal injuries due to the spread of the arcane impact, and everyone had blood on the corners of their mouths, but they managed to save their lives. The giants relied on their size to survive the arcane impact, but they were also much weaker, and many wounds appeared on the skin that could not be damaged by the steel sword, and slowly dripped blood.
Farelina's magical shield lasted only a few seconds from the combined attacks of the enemy mage and Arcane Blast, before she quickly fell to the ground as if she had been wounded, defending with all her might, and using the spreading black mist to protect many of the troops behind her.
Even the sky battle masters in the sky were affected by the arcane impact, and even the prince's war horse continued to retreat under the continuous impact of the arcane energy, and the magic enchantment on his body continued to tremble, and it seemed that it had been affected a lot. Zeng Qiang's Ranger left the danger range before the impact arrived, so although his shield value was low, he was not injured, but it took some effort. The baby dragon shrunk in the impact, rolled a few times in the impact, and his body scales helped him block most of the impact, so although he was a little dizzy, he was fine. Several of the Kingdom's battle masters, including the griffon, had been prepared for the Arcane Impact, so they were also affected by it but much lighter than us, and they didn't take the opportunity to attack as we thought, but quickly returned to the inner city.
The only one who can hold the line in this onslaught and not move is our pickup superman. Even if our troops were badly damaged, even the kingdom's troops were affected a lot, but Pickup Superman almost ignored the impact of the arcane. But when the arcane impact came, he also stopped all offensive movements, otherwise it is estimated that even a mobile fortress like Pickup Superman would be affected somewhat.
By the time I got up, our troops were already in very bad shape. The skeletons that attacked the city, and the skeletons that were preparing to enter the city near the city, were almost all wiped out, only a few high-level skeleton soldiers hiding behind the superman of Pickup survived, the number of casualties of the skeleton soldiers exceeded 50,000, and the skeleton skeleton of 20,000 or 30,000 was already in tatters, which was the largest single attack casualty we have ever received, and this attack cost me almost half of my skeleton troops.
Goblins also suffered heavy casualties, with less than 200 of the more than 1,500 goblins entering the city surviving, a casualty ratio of more than eighty percent. The number of barbarians and archers and regular army killed was very small, a little more than a tenth, but Cheetus was injured, and it was estimated that even if they used holy water for a day or two, it would be difficult to return to normal combat effectiveness, and the impact of arcane magic caused too much damage to their body organs.
Most of the undead fell to the ground, and although our undead were of good quality, at least two hundred undead were killed in this attack, and half of them were incapacitated. Even the cannon was directly overturned, and the gunners suffered heavy casualties.
The high-level units are basically undamaged, and their strength is generally above the Battle Master, and they have the power to protect themselves under a wide range of arcane impacts, but just like other injured units, they also need to rest to completely force those knife-like arcane energy out of their bodies. Even I felt a little depressed in my chest, and Dean Zeng, even if he was strong and guarded, was injured and had been brought back by the Flying Dragon Baby. I got up and looked through the opening in the doorway, and saw the wreckage and broken bones of the house, and Farelina was trying her best to resurrect them, while the other soldiers began to rescue the friendly troops buried under the rubble, even if they themselves were not feeling good at this time.
Oh admit, I'm hacked by the kingdom again. A famous general is a famous general, who can make the greatest use of existing resources to give the enemy the greatest damage, and in his hands today, our main siege force basically has to be withdrawn to rest, and the skeleton army is directly reimbursed by half, and we have also suffered the biggest blow since the crossing. There is no way, after all, we hosts are traversers who rely on the system, and our own experience is limited, even if we are strong, we will still suffer in front of those truly experienced veterans.
We had to withdraw our troops, and send some of our reserves to build new barricades in the city, and confront the defenders of the kingdom from the inner walls, keeping enough distance from each other that both sides did not dare to attack rashly.
I didn't want that, but the war did go in the direction we least wanted, tug-of-war and endless street fighting. Now, it's time for me to think about resupply again.
