Chapter 37: The War, Warneburg (2)

After rubbing the ring Rutherford had lent him a little, and then pinching the malachite in his arms, Aine finally chose to stand on top of the city.

Quinton, who was following behind, didn't say anything, he himself was wearing heavy armor, and he was basically in a state where he could casually connect with the bone frame. Compared to the shabby robes on Ain's body, it must have looked much safer. But Quinton wasn't an ordinary person, and he could feel the aura of magic around Ain.

Cautiously walking to the edge of the battlement, Ain realized that the raging fire trench he had heard before against the skeleton had indeed begun to extinguish, and at least the fire could not reach the level that could turn bones into ashes.

"Sir Quinton, how long do you think these acids will be able to stop these bone racks?" Aine took a brief look at the current situation in the trench and asked Quinton, who was standing a little behind him.

Because the method of heating the acid for concentration was thought of by Ain, and it did solve the problem of acid solidification, Quinton still had a certain understanding of Ain's ability, so he naturally replied: "If the attack intensity at night is similar to that of this early morning, I think it will be enough to support it until tomorrow's day." ”

Tomorrow during the day...... Ain looked at Quinton's attitude and didn't say anything more, because he knew that it would definitely be a joke to hold on until tomorrow day.

In the game of the previous life, there were many players who were not afraid of death as cannon fodder for the task reward, and the defense line of the Northwest Fortress was also declared to collapse within two days, and the remnants of the soldiers who were withdrawn from the breached fortress and the Ice Cold Army fought together in the first big city behind the fortress defense line - Baishan City, and they were also defeated in just half a month, and finally they could be able to hold the defense line of Far Winter City.

Of course, Ain can't say for sure if the current situation will be the same as in the game, but after these conventional defensive methods are exhausted, what else can be done to stop the tireless siege of the skeleton? Aine didn't know.

Besides, Drew is not the kind of uncivilized barbarian or orc, and in a way, Drew is more like the kind of arcane civilization of the Arcanist Empire. Now these means can only prevent the bone frame from approaching the city wall, and Ain does not believe that these bone frames know that they are going to storm the defense line of the northwest fortress this time, and they do not bring large siege equipment.

"Have you ever used any large siege weapons in these skeletons before?" Of course, Ain asked about Quinton to make sure.

Quinton nodded with a somewhat melancholy face at this time: "It seems that there have been before, but those relatively simple things can't cause serious damage to this line of defense that the kingdom has spent too much manpower and material resources to create." ”

Humble stuff...... Aine couldn't help but feel a little helpless, in the previous life game, there was a kind of strategic siege weapon design blueprint, which could only be obtained after completing a difficult task issued by Drew's necromancer with high alchemical attainments. Although Ain had never seen Drew's skeletons use this kind of siege weapon in his previous games, since he could make the blueprint, his skills were naturally not much worse.

As for the simple things before, who knows if you made a few random pull-ups to paralyze them?

"When the flames retreat into the trench and are no longer visible, you can throw acid bottles into the ditch." Ain did the math a little, because when melting the bones, the acid in the acid is consumed, and as the acid is consumed, the acid will inevitably thin and freeze. Casting early can delay this from happening.

Naturally, Quinton was a layman in the matter of acid, so he arranged it directly for what Ain said.

"Sir Quinton, if there's anything you need to do for the mage, I think I can do it for you. Now the city is too far away from those skeletons, and my spells can't have any good effect......"

Quinton shook his head slightly and said, "The number of military mages in the fortress is allocated, and it is just enough to basically have something to do. In other words, there is nothing free for mages to do now, and if they can, there is a lack of a person in the observatory over there who can perceive the power of magic, and I don't know if His Excellency Baron Ain is willing to ......."

Ain nodded.

……

For some reason, there was no one else in the lookout where Ain went, it was simply empty. However, in the corner of the lookout, there are several very simple alchemy instruments, indicating that this lookout must be useful.

After fiddling with it a little, Ain realized that this was a device used to perceive magical powers, and Ain couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he didn't expect that this task of perceiving magical powers was actually to come to see these instruments......

It was also nothing, Ain blessed himself with a dim vision, and then began to observe the battlefield on the front line of the city wall.

Because of the air defense arrangement, those bone wyverns are still far away in the air. Even if you fly over Warneburg, it's the kind of flying from a very high place. As for the skeleton on the ground, it was no longer as pleasant to crash into the fire pit as before, but it continued to jump into the acid one after another.

Of course, Ain didn't understand, now that a spell that can freeze can turn these acids into a piece of ice, why waste these cannon fodder, is one spell slot more important than so many cannon fodder bone shelves?

But when I looked into the distance, those bone racks were not the same as the cannon fodder in front of them, and there were zombies mixed in them.

It's time to begin...... Ain sighed at this time, thinking that the tentative attack of Drew's army of the undead would continue for a while, but he didn't expect that the attack would be arranged directly as soon as twilight fell.

It is very unscientific to direct these unintelligent skeletons to rotate backwards, because they have no way to understand the meaning of the formation, and it will only make the scene a mess. This way of jumping directly into the acid has become the best method, and Aine can't cry or laugh.

And the magic energy perception device beside Ain only began to light up slightly at this time, showing that there was a relatively strong magic energy reaction in a relatively distant place.

If it weren't for Ain's expectations, these magic energy reactions should all be not low-level summoning spells, because the magic energy fluctuations produced by low-level spells are very limited, at least impossible to detect at the edge of the instrument. However, after summoning the spell to summon the otherworldly creatures, a faint smell began to fill the air, which made Ain very familiar, but after thinking about it for a long time, the mage was not able to recall.

At this time, at the head of the city, because the zombies joined the team to fill the ditch, the acid no longer had a good effect, and Quinton's face looked a little ugly.

"Pass the order, stop throwing acid bottles, rotate, and get ready to fight!" Kundu reluctantly drew his sword and gave instructions to the herald beside him.
