Chapter 44: The siege begins
When his spies detected that the army of monsters on Sheephorn Mountain had begun to move towards Cangyue City, Helord had already ordered all the officers and soldiers and civilians of the city to prepare for the arrival of war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
He really didn't expect that the half-horned sheep fairy Lamer would actually submit to the demon of BaZula! He didn't want to believe such an outrageous thing anyway, but that's just the way it is!
Helord knew that due to too many enemies, Cangyue City was likely to miss, so he sent out a distress signal a few days ago to inform his eldest brother. But the other party's message was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response.
Helord also knew that now that the border was in an emergency, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Apocalypse Legion was eyeing Sunset Province and sending troops all the way to support it, which was obviously too risky and timeless. So he also guessed that there would be no reinforcements.
However, it is impossible to tell him to give up. Fear, not his style, death does not make him afraid. As long as he bears the blessing of the God of Light, he will fight to the death. In the end, it will be resurrected, this is the most important thing.
Since there is an infinite resurrection buff, anyone can fight boldly with confidence.
Some of the small guilds and adventurers who are resident in Cangyue City, almost like the ordinary residents of the local area, couldn't wait to rush to the warehouse in the center of the city when they received the notice of the monster attacking the city, preparing to store their important finances in the space warehouse.
But unsurprisingly, it was already full of customers, and countless people were doing the storage business at the storekeeper's place.
Several chain warehouses have been crowded by consumers, and latecomers can't squeeze in at all. This happens every time a city is on the verge of extinction. Warehousemen can also make a fortune at such a time.
The space warehouse here is directly connected to the imperial capital, and once the belongings are stored, the things go to the imperial capital, and even if the monsters capture this place, they can't get those belongings. In this way, even if you die a thousand times, those possessions will not be lost.
Of course, if one day someone captures the imperial capital of the Rhine Empire, it will be no play. The imperial capital is a super treasure house, and the treasures stored in its space warehouse can bury and bury the entire imperial capital, bury and bury again, all in all, it is unimaginable. However, the idea of occupying it can only be kept in the head, and it will not succeed in reality. At least in the history of this continent, there is no record of the fall of that imperial capital.
From the morning, the sky was overcast and gloomy, and the sun was like a vacation, and it was not seen all day.
It was already afternoon, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and the rolling dark clouds and dreary air were a sign of the coming storm. Suddenly, a blinding flash of light pierced the clouds, and the fangs of lightning fell suddenly, smashing into a treetop on the plain ahead. As the rolling thunder reached their ears, the defenders on the city walls suddenly saw the nightmarish scene in the distance: the black army of monsters and demons was rushing towards this side like a flood, and the roar was like a tidal wave, and soon, the flood flooded all the plains in front of them, and everywhere they could see was a terrible black army!
The raindrops of beans began to fall mercilessly, and no one was moved by the terrible scene in front of them.
Helord and Dona Mira stood atop the inner wall, nervously gazing at the black sea. The defenders were demoralized, and having lost their vital armament, and having heard the horror of the leading demon, and now seeing the roaring flood outside, had no hope of victory at all.
Despite this, Dona Mira insisted on cheering them on, "Don't be controlled by fear, show your justice and courage, and let us fight for the Light!" ”
The articulate Doré played an important role in this situation, and he exclaimed in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Justice is light, and the essence of light is to drive away darkness." For justice, for the light, for our homeland, show your courage and fight for the faith! ”
Although few people listened to his nonsense, Heylord found that this Dorey was a real talent.
The rain was getting heavier, the wind was raging, and the light was getting dimmer. But none of this could stop the flood from moving forward.
When the army approached the city, the siege began.
The rain of arrows, which was as dense as a heavy rain, did not need to aim at all, and frantically shot at the enemy under the city, and the magic energy turret and magic energy arrow tower began to attack intelligently, firing full firepower, and striking the enemy units within the range with all their might.
The city wall of Cangyue City is divided into two layers, the outer city wall is more than 20 meters high, and the inner city wall is several meters high. The two walls were filled with defenders, and the mages and archers unleashed their strongest attacks on the enemy.
However, there were too many monsters, and the black flood was unstoppable, and the demons and sheep-headed monsters mixed and rushed to the edge of the moat outside Cangyue City.
The effect of this moat may be huge in the regular world, but in this world dominated by magic, it is simply impossible to stop an enemy of this size.
Hundreds of demon mages and sheep-headed mages began casting spells at the same time, and bursts of frost enveloped them, quickly freezing the entire river, and laying non-slip dirt and textures on it.
The siege troops began to erect siege ladders, first shooting huge hooks at the walls, and then using winches to pull the siege ladders directly up. Soon, the siege ladders were erected, and the monsters roared and jumped up the ladders with their weapons in hand, and began to rush up the walls.
The commanders defending the city commanded their subordinates to gather fire on the enemy on the siege ladder, and the Great Demon Guard, with heavy shields, rushed forward not long before falling with a scream. The fighters behind took their place and continued to rush forward.
During this period, the losses of the besieging side were very enormous, with casualties every second.
And the siege tower troops are also in place very quickly.
Tens of millions of bloody siege towers advanced steadily under dense artillery fire, and the defenders could not tear them down. With a bang, a siege tower crossed the frozen river and leaned against the foot of the city walls.
The siege tower, which is more than 20 meters high, was tailor-made for this city wall.
The shield on the tower fell off first, and the staircase hidden inside was set up between the two platforms with a clang, and the demons and monsters in the tower suddenly rushed out frantically, some flexible, jumped directly over, picked up the big knife and slashed towards the defenders.
The siege ladder was also connected to the back of the siege tower, and the monsters below suddenly surged up wildly.
Although the monsters suffered heavy casualties, they quickly attacked the city, but their pace of progress was very slow.
Inside the city, there were countless adventurers and ordinary people, and there were simply not so many people standing on the city walls, and a few thousand on them were full. Whether a city's defense is strong or not depends not on the number of manpower, but on the scale and structure of the defensive buildings.
The defense structure of Cangyue City is very perfect, and it is difficult for monsters to attack for a while.
However, if the gates are broken, it is different.
The city-breaking hammer, which was dozens of meters long and weighed hundreds of tons, was pushed forward by the strong and strong trolls. This city-breaking hammer was carefully built by the half-horned sheep fairy to attack here, with more than 80 million blood, and was defended by a thick defensive board.
The magic turret and the magic arrow tower on the city gate gathered fire to break the city hammer, but the other party was indifferent at all. The surrounding defenders also prioritized attacking the terrible guy below, but they still couldn't stop the opponent's footsteps.
Onmaba, Buu, and some mutated minotaur warriors four or five meters tall, under the protection of the defensive plates, finally pushed the city breaker to the city gate.
With a bang, the defensive plate directly in front of the city-breaking hammer fell with a bang, revealing the sheep's head hammer made of heavy metal inside. This hammer bears a slight resemblance to Ramer's, and in addition to burning magical flames, there are other magical powers wrapped around it, and it has been attached to magical attacks.
The fire sheep hammer head was quietly waiting, and twenty or thirty strong mutant sheep-headed warriors such as Weng Mamba and Buu behind the city-breaking hammer pulled up the huge chains and pulled up the hundred-ton city-breaking hammer head, the frame made a squeaking sound, and the defense plate above continued to resist the attacks of the defenders, and the sheep-headed mages and demon mages continued to add attacks to the hammerhead.
And, in addition to adding attack power to the hammerhead, the sheep-headed mages also know a spell, gravity! The sheep's head mages have teamed up to add gravity to the hammerhead, more than doubling the weight of the hammer!
The trolls with chains suddenly couldn't bear it, and hurriedly called for a group to come over to help.
And the half-horned sheep fairy Ramer still has a magic weapon in his hand, and it is his dream to capture Cangyue City, although he is now working hard for others, but he has no reservations. He raised the skeletal staff in his hand and cast a brittleness spell on the gate in front of him.
In this kind of hard-fought war, it is common to hear the title of "Three Treasures of Death".
One of the so-called Three Treasures of Death is gravity, which converts weight into power through movement, which is very suitable for use on the city breaker.
The second is Brittleness, which can brittle enemy units and reduce the opponent's defense, which is a disguised increase in your own damage.
The third is the collision plate, and the stronger the defense, the more powerful it is. However, the Crash Plate is exclusive to Crash Vehicles and Magic Ships, and it is the kind of thing that can knock over the Magic Energy Turret in one fell swoop, which is very perverted. The three deadly treasures are three in one, unstoppable.
There is also a life-killing treasure called the jet, but that kind of thing is also exclusive to magic warships, and it is part of the power system, so unfortunately it was not selected as one of the three deadly treasures.
Now this city-breaking hammer can be regarded as enough to make up two of the three deadly treasures, although it is the worst two, but it is already quite powerful.
The trolls gritted their teeth and pulled the chains and slowly retreated, laboriously pulling up the city-breaking hammer, and when the amplitude reached its maximum, the chains were finally loosened, and the hundreds of tons of super hammers roared towards the city gate.
There was a loud bang, and the entire city wall shook violently, the ground cracked directly, and the surrounding rain jumped fiercely. The heavy outer gate let out a mournful roar that cracked open with a clatter.
10.68 million, this is the damage just now! This city gate, which has just over 100 million blood, will definitely be broken within ten strokes!
