Chapter 142: Breaking the City
Heroes and system warriors happily brush up on the city walls, and vassal warriors take the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the battlefield. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info watching the system warriors and a few new heroes scurrying up the ranks, as well as the vassal warriors who have gradually stabilized and are no longer as panicked as they were at the beginning of the battle, I spent more than 10,000 gold coins to teleport them from the base this time, and the money I spent more than 10,000 gold coins to teleport them from the base was finally not wasted.
Wallace, who was standing beside me, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that my men had taken no further action after climbing the walls to secure their positions, but had only stood there to kill the enemy. After all, this is a civil war between their necromancers, and it already makes him feel a little embarrassed to let Xiao Dai and them be the first team to climb the city wall, and if Xiao Dai and them do anything amazing, he doesn't know how to face me. Thinking of this, Wallace turned to look at me and gave me a grateful smile.
I was a little confused by Wallace's smile, and I was so suddenly smiling at me that I was doing something, inexplicably. Leaving Wallace alone, I sent out the centaur warriors who had been standing behind me to cover the movement of the twenty throwing carts in the direction of the city walls, and prepared to let the throwing carts help Xiao Dai and them deal with the enemy's counterattack. I'm curious now why Sandru's siege force didn't see catapults, given the dense arrangement of enemies on the walls of Nightnight, it would have been much easier to fight if there were catapults, and I now regret that I spawned the blade carts instead of the orc crushers and the Terran mortar squads.
It wasn't until a few years later when I fought with Wallace on the battlefield that I finally knew the reason for this question. It turns out that the necromancers of the Southern Continent have made imaginary enemies with the army of the Human Empire, the elves of the Western Continent have made imaginary enemies, and all the races of the continent, such as dwarves, gnomes, orcs, etc., have made imaginary enemies, but they have never used themselves as imaginary enemies. Therefore, the catapults made by the necromancers mainly threw barrels with things like undead viruses and poisonous clouds, which were fundamentally the same for the undead troops, and it would be a waste of resources to really throw them. Also, if you want to transform it into a catapult that can throw boulders, it would be as expensive as building a new one, so Shan Drew didn't use a catapult in this siege.
The centaur escorted the blade throwing cart down the skull staircase to the city wall, and the blade throwing cart with the elf as the operation core automatically came to the inner side of the city wall, and after finding a convenient place to fire the flying blade, it automatically fixed it, and began to fire the flying blade at the undead ranged troops gathered in the city. Each blade cart has fifteen blades, and the blades fired can be recycled if they are not damaged, but I haven't seen any blades that are still intact when I was fired. Of course, I can also buy flying blades from the hunter hall of the elves, and a flying blade costs three gold coins, so I don't have to worry about any flying blades shooting out in the game...... Due to the limited number of flying blades, the blade throwing cart mainly targets areas where the lich is densely populated, and tries not to cause waste. Twenty blade throwers can fire a total of 300 flying blades, which is a lot of money!
The troops on Sandru's side on the city wall became more and more numerous, and the land arms of both sides began to engage in fierce hand-to-hand combat on the city wall, and the battle in the sky had entered a white heat at this time. The air forces of the two sides are now out of the system, and the air forces of the undead are already completely in formation, crisscrossing the sky. Jakiro was now flying at the front of the group, unleashing a mixture of fire and ice from his mouth and striking at one of the bone dragons that lunged at him, the poor bone dragon was first burned red by the flames, and then the cold air that followed turned its bones white. The bones of the bone dragon exploded after being subjected to extreme heat and cold for a short period of time, and then the bone dragon fell from the sky.
After a long battle, the dragon eagle knights have long run out of magic, and now they can only swing the magic gun in their hands to release magic missiles to attack the enemy, or directly pierce the vampire bats that rush to their side. The Thunder Hammer in the Griffin Knight's hand was noticeably dimmer, and the attack speed was not as fast as it was at the beginning of the battle, and it often took a while to recharge before throwing the Thunder Hammer, and they usually manipulated the sitting Griffin to play hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Hippogriffs are the same as they did at the beginning of the battle, but they only have injuries, which they have left when rescuing the Eagle Knight and Griffin Knight who are being besieged by Ramasu or vampires.
Although the battle in the sky looks chaotic, but judging from the system map, our numbers have begun to slowly gain the advantage, and the red dots representing the enemy are disappearing at a very fast speed, although the green dots representing the Sandru Air Force are not disappearing slowly......
Just as I was paying attention to the battle situation of the air force, with a loud bang, the elite troops commanded by Sandru who were responsible for attacking the city gate finally broke through the city gate from the outside. I'm not surprised to be able to break through the city gates, the enemies on the city walls are a little too busy to take care of themselves now, how can they still have the energy to care about the city gates. Now the high-level undead who have attacked the city wall have begun to regroup under the command of the necromancer, and are ready to rush down the city wall and attack the city.
After the gates were slammed open, the troops in charge of attacking the gates did not rush in immediately, but retreated, and then separated from the two sides with great speed. Because the city gate was breached, it meant that Sandru's Knights of the Death Scythe were about to start the war. The Knights of the Death Scythe, who had been waiting for a long time, drove the skeletal horses that sat down to charge in the direction of the city gate as soon as the gate was breached, and Benny and the Terran knights I gave him also charged towards the city of eternal night.
I saw that the battle was about to enter the street fighting, so I sent the huntress and wolf knights who had been by my side to follow the charging Knights of the Death Scythe, and then fight into the city with the troops who had attacked the walls. With the last of the Huntress and Wolf Knights sent out by me, now I am left with only seven orc warriors including O'Neill, who had been by my side from the beginning.
The battle lasted from afternoon to evening, and now only the scattered undead in the city were still resisting, and there were no more waves. Two of the four Faceless Ones in the City of Eternal Night were killed and turned into a pile of ashes, and one was captured alive by Little Dai, and I handed him over to Sandru to dispose of. Now only the faceless man who turned into Annan has not yet appeared, and it is only a matter of time before he is found. The air battle in the sky has long ended, and now the system air force is patrolling the sky under the leadership of Jekiro, monitoring every move of all the red dots in the city, and in the end, unless this faceless person will be invisible, it will be impossible for him to escape.
Trixis and Lao Pu also reached level 10 after Xiao Dai and comprehended their respective ultimate skills. Jakiro soared to level seven and nearly eight in this battle, and the dense vampire bats and ghosts in the air battle allowed it to gain a wave of experience with a combination of ice and fire and an ice path, and after reaching level six, Jakiro began to throw liquid fire everywhere in the enemy's dense area, and the spreading flames helped it gain a lot of experience.
The level of the Axe King has also reached level seven or above, and it is normal for him to reach this level with his kind of expulsion shield that wears Lao Pu's expulsion shield and rushes to where there are many people, and he starts spinning in place when he rushes in. The level of the corpse king is relatively low, only a little more than six levels, which is also for a reason, because the little zombie made by the tombstone is an undead, it can be said that there is no bloody smell on the battlefield at all, so the little zombie has not been able to enter a berserk state, plus the effect of the corpse king's other skills on the undead can only be regarded as average, so the corpse king has gained a lot less experience than other heroes.
Zeus suddenly rose to more than half of the eighth level, Zeus's upgrade efficiency was not slow, and he gained a lot of experience just by relying on the arc lightning skill in the early stage, since mastering the electrostatic field, Zeus's upgrade speed is like flying. All the system fighters who participated in this battle had reached level six or above, and some of the fighters who had killed more enemies had even reached level ten.
I'm already in the city now, and I'm going to have the Eagle Knight summon the troops scattered in the city to assemble, and it's time to count the battle damage. The first thing I can be sure of is that the twenty blade throwing cars are all intact, that is, the flying blades have all been launched, and I don't even bother to look for those flying blades, they must have been scrapped anyway. After receiving the notice from the Dragon Eagle Knight, the warriors and heroes of the system gathered around me one after another from various places in the city of eternal night.
Because the siege battle was generally relatively smooth, and the witch doctors and priests who had been able to use the healing totem had been recovering from the injuries of the soldiers on the battlefield, the battle damage was not as large as I had imagined in the end. Fifty-three warriors were killed, including ten archers and three musketeers who had fought the enemy on the walls during the siege, as well as twenty-three Terran infantry, fifteen orc warriors, and two Terran knights who had been killed in siege and street battles. The other units have been preserved intact, of course, the other units I am talking about do not include the Air Force, and the losses of the Air Force are relatively serious, as I can see from the points of light that represent the Air Force displayed on the map of the system.
