Chapter 30: The Offensive Begins
For Lu Zhongli's decision, everyone didn't have much opinion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe Thunder Empire was the main force in this operation, and it was the Thunder Empire that suffered the heaviest losses.
With more than 50,000 troops, the loss of nearly 30,000 troops would definitely hurt the bones if it weren't for the great cause of the Thunder Emperor's country. If these casualties were placed in Ash Valley, Vandal would be able to die of distress, how many Night Elves were there in Ash Valley?
After counting the casualties, the dragon lost more than fifty of them, and more than twenty were wounded. The Night Elves of Grey Valley were not killed enough in this battle, and they were less than eight hundred wounded.
In the face of such a large casualty of the Thunder Empire, it was difficult for others to refute Zhongli's face. And neither the dragon nor Vandal had a way to put that flare on Ayamis.
"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go first." Seeing that there was nothing else to discuss, Lu Zhongli got up and returned to Thunder Cliff.
The coalition forces entered a period of recuperation, and Lu Rong sent part of the navy back to pick up the army, leaving his deputy to guard the port, and he took the follow-up corps to the Red Tail Fortress with supplies to assist in defending the city.
There were not many soldiers brought by Lu Rong, only three or four thousand, but among these three or four thousand people, there were more than ten heroic-level powerhouses, and there were also two deer people and immortals, Melhank and Lisa.
Melhank and Lisa had been helping Lurong with the land at the port until two days ago. However, because the large army had already left, they did not rush over, and left with Lu Rong.
Rajax waited for a day and gathered a large number of troops. He also wanted to ask his men if there was anything they could do, but asking who didn't pay attention made Rajax very difficult.
Rajax walked around the neighborhood to see if there was any terrain to use. It was only then that Rajax remembered that he had not yet sent his loyal subordinate back.
Rajax hurriedly summoned a group of Chira gladiators and asked them to send back the ice that had frozen Kulinax. Looking at the direction where the ice cube was gone, Rajax suddenly realized that he had found a way to break through the fortress!
Excited, Rajax immediately gathered his men, "Wait for all to get big stones, we will throw these big stones under the city wall, as long as enough stones are piled up under the city wall, we can easily climb over the city wall and attack the fortress." ā
The others' eyes lit up: "General, this is a good idea, let's start acting now."
"I can get the Zola wasps to carry small stones and throw them under the walls, so that with the number of Zola wasps, no one can throw a few of them and fill them all under the walls."
The others immediately nodded, "Not bad, good idea." ā
"Okay, that's it." With a wave of Rajax's large pincers, everyone immediately went into action.
Silisus is surrounded by mountains, and it is easy to find rocks first. There are many large mountains near Akao Fortress, and large boulders may need to be mined, but there are small boulders!
Outside of the Magic Tower's attack range, the insects began to pile up stones, large and small, enough to fill the gap in the walls of the Red Tail Fortress.
Clay watched the insects outside the city busy, but he didn't worry at all. When the fortress was first built, various attacks were already expected, and the inappropriate attack method of stone was naturally also considered.
He hoped that the insects would attack with stones, so that he could give the insects a taste of what it means to be cocooned and what it means to be clever but mistaken by intelligence.
Clay's anticipation didn't last long, and after collecting rocks for a day, the insect finally launched an attack in the early morning of the next day.
Rajax and the Immortals stood in a row, and in front of them was a huge pile of stones, taller than the usual gladiators. But these stones can only be considered small for these immortals, and Rajax picks up a stone with pliers, just like a four-joy pill.
"Attack!" Rajax gave the order to attack, and was the first to throw stones at the walls. The stones smashed against the walls and shattered, but there was no trace of them.
But Rajax didn't care, and he didn't expect a single stone to break through the fortress in front of him. All he had to do was pile up stones under the walls so that the army could storm the fortress.
The immortals beside Rajax were also throwing stones. The gladiators also picked up small stones and threw them, although they were rarely able to throw them under the city, but they were also helpful.
The most important thing is that Ayamis carries the Zola Wasp in the air, and they carry the stones, and they fly near the city walls before throwing them.
How could the coalition forces in the fortress do just that, watching them pile up stones? Clay waved his hand: "Spellcaster prepare, magic covers the attack!"
There are many classes of spellcasters, and the most efficient will always be mages, and the mages began to split into two groups, a group of condensed water elementals to create a blizzard at the maximum range. Any Zola Hornet who wants to pass through it will need to go through a blizzard, which doesn't have very high magic damage, and it's far worse than a firestorm. But the blizzard has a huge benefit, which is that it can wet the wings of the Zola wasps, making them unable to fly.
Another group of mages is pulling arcane missiles, and after Zola Hornet passes through the blizzard area, a second round of attacks will be ushered in. Arcane missiles are a type of magic that consumes very little, and usually a mage can guide three or four arcane missiles to attack at the same time, and a more powerful one can guide seven or eight at the same time.
So Zola Wasp encountered countless arcane missiles head-on, and if they were accidentally hit, the damage was not great, but seven or eight times out of ten they would get rid of the stones.
After the mage level, there is a raptor druid behind him. The Raptor Druid can use some of the abilities of the demigod Avena, who is powerful in her wind elemental spells. Soon hundreds of tornadoes appeared outside the fortress, these tornadoes had no attack power at all, but as long as the Zola wasp was caught in it, they would not be able to control their bodies, and the stones would inevitably come out of their hands.
After the tornado, there is also the shaman's lightning chain. The lightning chain has paralyzing powers, and the Zora Hornet that is hit will inevitably not be able to hold the stone.
In short, the defense of the coalition forces is to prevent the Zerg from sending stones under the city walls, not to kill and injure the Zerg. If you really want to kill the Zerg, you would have opened the magic tower attack a long time ago, and in the face of the magic tower, no matter how many Zola wasps you have, there will be no return!
However, in this way, the casualties of the Zola Hornet are still high, and it is still difficult to escape from being attacked by blizzards again and again, and also dodging arcane missiles and lightning chains. After this experience, if you don't die, you have to shed your skin, not to mention that the Zola wasps have not gone this time. (To be continued.) )
