566. The Void's means of counterattack
The current situation outside Yafen City is probably like this:
The original 120,000 troops of the church were only left under the city after a series of events yesterday, and only more than 60,000 people appeared under the city, and the aristocratic army was basically invisible, they suffered heavy casualties in Grant's suicide attack, and the rest were either dismissed, or left behind to guard the rear, or they were not visible on the frontal battlefield.
And the remaining 60,000 people, in addition to the 10,000 logistics personnel, the remaining 50,000 are lined up in a neat formation more than 1,000 meters away from the city wall, these people are the backbone of the church, even if they are tossed badly, the firm faith is like a stimulant, so that they are still full of spirit and high morale!
The mages led by the Haydn family stood at the back of the phalanx, ready for everything, just waiting for Matthews. Haydn fired the first shot, and he would bombard the walls indiscriminately.
The defenders on the city wall saw this scene, their hearts were quite broken, although there were also clever guys who noticed that the number of enemies was less than half of what was expected, but the number was still six times that of them, the key opposite side of this kind of formation to do a good defense, and then use magic to bomb and consume the tactics, the completely disadvantaged side of their own side is fundamentally unsolvable, neither can take the initiative to attack, nor can they fight magic, there are so many more mages on the opposite side, and with the assistance of the priest, how can they fight?
According to normal people's logic, this battle cannot be fought, as long as the church is not in a hurry to attack the city, it will not give the defenders any chance, and wait until the magic is almost consumed before taking it in one fell swoop, similar examples of battles have been common in history.
The Great Knight Captain Yawen obviously knew this, so he put on such a formation, which was not only a consumption of the enemy's living strength, but also a cruel torture to their psychology.
"Inform Master Haydn that it's time to begin." The Grand Knight Chief gave the final order.
Matthews, who has long been impatient. Haydn raised his staff and chanted the first syllable as the defenders watched, and a visually brilliant magic force began to brew.
On the other hand, the Void Walker, the magician still watched him perform unhurriedly, without making any moves, completely ignoring the defenders who had been frightened to find cover everywhere, looking calm and relaxed.
He didn't move, but someone did, and suddenly a dusty arrow shot out of a tower, and it shot like lightning at Uncle Haydn in the distance.
Uncle Haydn also noticed this cold arrow, but he didn't panic at all, he didn't even change the rhythm and tone of the chant in the slightest, and even let out a disdainful sneer in his heart, the despicable means of sneaking up on the secret arrow, as long as he is a mage, he will guard against it, to quote the slang within the association: A mage killed by a bow and arrow is not a qualified mage!
What's more, Matthews is a well-informed and well-informed person, he has long worn three pieces of equipment to defend against long-range arrows before going to the battlefield, and before casting the spell, he specially blessed himself with two protective magics of long-range attack defense and flying arrow immunity, as well as various blessings from the priest on the side, he is confident that even if the archer stands in front of him, he can't hurt himself, not to mention that the two are separated by a distance of more than a thousand meters?
As far as he knew, the strongest archers in the human race couldn't shoot arrows so far, and he was absolutely foolproof at the moment.
However, he did not know who shot the arrow or with what purpose...
The speed of the gray fluttering arrow was normal when it just left the string, but in an instant, it made a screaming sound that broke through the air, and it took less than a second to leap more than a thousand meters away and came to the front of Matthews, a total of six layers of long-range protection measures were activated at the same time, and six translucent barriers were blocked in front of the arrow layer by layer.
But these protective measures, which can make any archer sigh, are as fragile as a biscuit in front of this gray arrow that is not good-looking, and the momentum is not even stopped, and the six layers of protection are all pierced in an instant!
Matthewston felt a sharp pain in his throat, and then saw the sky above him? It turned out that this arrow not only pierced his throat, but its huge power actually cut off his head entirely!
After killing Matthews with an arrow, the gray arrow disappeared without a trace, and the blood gushing out of the headless corpse splashed the face of the mage next to him, and it was not until the nostrils were filled with the pungent smell of blood that they realized what had happened...
The planned deployment was disrupted in an instant, and the mages who had been ready to attack fled back like ghosts, many of them were forcibly transferred by the Haydn family in the name of the association. This is obviously impossible ...
"What's going on? What about Master Haydn's magic? "The great knight commander who was sitting far away in the Chinese army didn't notice the shocking arrow, and he was still asking Matthews why he didn't make a move?
Until the situation over there came back, he still had an expression of disbelief on his face, and looked at the head of the Haydn family.
"It's... Master Haydn was killed by an enemy arrow? ”
"It can't be! When pigs fly! Old Haydn almost fainted, "My son Matthews is a very cautious and careful man, he must be prepared to cast spells, the enemy will not be able to kill him with a bow and arrow!" There must be an inner ghost lurking in his guards! ”
The two of them were still wailing here, but the walls of Afen City suddenly erupted in an abrupt cheer.
The sharp-eyed soldier noticed the arrow, and witnessed it kill the enemy leader, causing the remaining mages to flee in frenzy, and the expected devastating blow was forcibly aborted, and the ecstasy of retrieving a life was contagious among the defenders.
When they saw the archer who shot the arrow coming out of the tower and waving to everyone, the cheers reached a climax.
That is actually Bai Yi's cheap granddaughter, the beautiful elf girl Nido? She wore a suit of tight-fitting leather armor that framed her figure, white stockings that made her fingers flutter under the short skirt, and she carried a bow and arrow that looked like a giant butterfly.
Although it is not clear why such a beautiful and cute elf girl can shoot such a terrifying arrow, a beautiful and powerful girl's morale boost is definitely beyond all the previous efforts of the magician, he and the engineer tossed for a long time without morale, but it is Nido's very casual arrow that saves the military spirit on the verge of collapse.
Yes, the arrow was shot by Nido with the Overlord Butterfly, and in the face of this unreasonable and domineering weapon, the so-called safe distance and protective means have no meaning, and the demigod lich who was at the peak of his life knew about it very well...
"Uh... Is this girl so popular? I was about to make a move, but she stole the limelight..."The magician muttered quietly, Nido's timely shot was not arranged by him, but Nido's appearance after watching from afar and feeling that the mage was so dangerous, so she shot him with an arrow...
"It's okay, it's okay, I still have a back hand here!" The engineer said confidently, gesturing to the brute in the distance.
Then he saw the barbarian forcibly carry a huge metal sphere with brute force, and a roar erupted from his mouth, throwing the big silver-white iron ball out with force, drawing an arc, and falling outside the city wall with a bang.
The church army looked at the strange thing thrown by the other party in confusion, this thing rolled forward for a while under the effect of inertia, and finally stopped a few hundred meters away from them, it didn't seem to be a big deal?
"Hmph, it's time for me to perform!" The engineer on the rampart said, pulling out something from his bosom that looked like a gamepad on Earth, and pressing the R1 and L1 buttons on it.
I saw that the silver iron ball suddenly made a mechanical transmission sound, unfolding and changing like magic, and finally turned into a huge spider-type puppet? He also said loudly in an impassioned tone: "The former dragon knight, back again!" ”
"Huh? No, hasn't the voice module been replaced? The engineer said with some suspicion, and frantically operated on the handle again, so he heard a strange gurgling cry from the spider-type puppet, and when he spoke again, his tone had changed to the unique Japanese style of middle two: "Why do the weak fight?!" ”
With that, a large circle of light lit up on its back, and it began to pour fire on the enemy.
The Church Army was startled, but quickly stabilized, the thing looked strange, and it was speaking inexplicable lines, and the attacks it could send out were not enough to penetrate the protective magic of the Church.
After several successive attacks by Biubiubiu, the Church Army was unscathed, and the Engineer noticed this, muttering in a low voice, "Sure enough, pure magic attacks are not very useful..."
"But it doesn't matter, this is no longer the Phoenix-type test puppet of the past, but an unlimited nuclear-powered Strike Module Complex with generations of use! I'll call it: Talandal! ”
As he spoke, he frantically poked at the squares and triangular buttons on the handle, and finally pushed the joystick, and the spider-shaped puppet began to unfold and change again, and finally turned into a three-meter-tall robot with a human torso, arms and quadruped robots?
"Humans keep repeating the same mistakes!" The reformed giant robot stepped forward and rushed towards the church army like a wild horse, and several paladins tried to intercept it, but they were directly knocked out by the huge impact.
Some of the brave crusaders also swung their swords at it desperately, but not a single scratch was left.
"This guy has a lot of strength! It's even harder! ”
"What do you think you've been able to protect with your heart?" The giant robot continued to speak unintelligible words and lunged at the priests who were protected in the back row.
