Chapter 45: The Siege Begins
Chapter 45. The siege begins
As the night deepened, the smell of war seemed to grow stronger in the air. Countless players who had nowhere to go climbed the walls of the North Gate, chatting while looking down at the sunset canyon shrouded in night from the tall walls, and there were also some savvy players who set up stalls directly on the city walls to start business.
And Wan Yi, who was reading quietly on the side, became a character like "the strange man in a mask" in the eyes of players. It is worth mentioning that there are quite a few eccentrics like him. There is no shortage of solo travelers in virtual games, whether they are confident in their own strength, or simply lack friends, etc. These people are also a beautiful sight in the virtual world, because miracles in the game always happen to these people
The bustle on the city walls continued until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, when a sentry who had gone to the Sunset Grand Canyon to investigate brought back news of the enemy's large army gathering, and the city of Kareda responded quickly to the news. Teams of aboriginal soldiers began to evict the players on the city walls, and Wan Yi politely showed them his mage badge, and the soldiers saluted Wan Yi and let him stay on the city walls. Soon, the chaotic walls were cleared, and rows of soldiers wearing the armor of the Duchy of St. Joyce climbed the walls in an orderly manner, and then quickly occupied the walls. Next up is a huge crossbow and countless garrison materials to be carried up the city walls and placed in place, these heavy war machines with stones and fuel will become a nightmare for the enemy! In the end, the old city lord Leonard and Master Helen slowly climbed the city wall, followed by the two of them were 500 members of the water mage group and a group of generals of Kareda City.
After the old city lord Leonard and Master Helen climbed the city wall, they walked directly towards Wan Yi's position, and Wan Yi nodded at them to say hello. The three of them didn't say much, just stood on the wall and looked at the direction of the sunset Grand Canyon.
Half an hour later, groups of soldiers dressed in Brenda Imperial armor emerged from the jungle of the Sunset Grand Canyon in an orderly manner. Then they stood in a neat phalanx, and in a short time the position of a kilometer outside the city of Kareda was full of soldiers of the Brenda Empire, and there were tens of thousands of people. Immediately afterward, the Legion of White Wings, dressed in bright silver armor, slowly walked out of the jungle, numbering as many as 10,000 people. But this is not the end, after the appearance of the troops of the Bright White Wings, a large number of soldiers in golden armor appeared in the jungle, and the number was even tens of thousands!
Leonard City Lord looked at these golden-armored soldiers and frowned, "It seems that the worst has happened, these gold-armored soldiers belong to the Golden War Elephant Legion of the Brenda Empire, and their combat power is even higher than that of the White Wings Legion, and they are extremely good at large-scale battles!" And the armor on their body has extremely high elemental magic resistance! ”
Helen said, "So what do we do?" ”
Leonard City Lord said: "The credit I sent to the empire before is the fastest flying monster in the kingdom, and I believe that the reinforcements from the kingdom will come as soon as they receive the news." As long as we can hold out until reinforcements arrive, it will not be so easy for the enemy to take my Kareda City again! ”
The old city lord had a convincing bearing when he spoke. However, Mage Helen was still worried: "The White Wings Legion and my mage troops can still be limited, but I really can't do anything about this Golden War Elephant Legion!" ”
Wan Yi interjected at this time: "I will use a spell to restrain these gold-armored soldiers, but I dare not guarantee how long I can delay them." ”
The old city lord was overjoyed when he heard this: "With the words of Master Wanzhi, I am relieved." ”
At one o'clock in the morning, the disorganized players were also assigned their posts and re-ascended the city wall under the leadership of the aboriginal soldiers. Of course, they also saw Wan Yi wearing a mask and standing with the city lord, and many players who had seen Wan Yi on the city wall before began to guess his identity. However, when they saw the dense enemy army outside the city, they were only shocked in their hearts! After all, nearly 100,000 formed troops are pressing down on the city, and anyone who sees it will feel uneasy in their hearts!
At two o'clock, a melodious trumpet sounded from the military formation of the Brenda Empire, and tens of thousands of soldiers came out of the crowd and approached the city of Kareda with neat steps! For a while, the sound of "stepping, stepping" made by the soldiers striding seemed to shake the entire Sunset Grand Canyon! Many players who have never seen this kind of war scene are terrified and weak just by watching the enemy approach!
When this group of Brenda Empire's vanguard troops arrived at a position six hundred meters outside the city, the old city lord Leonard shouted: "Soldiers, destroy the incoming enemy, kill!" As soon as the words fell, tens of thousands of aboriginal soldiers on the city wall shouted: "Kill!" Then, countless crossbow arrows poured out like locusts into the Brenda Empire's military formation, especially the dozens of huge heavy crossbows, each arrow could take several lives!
The Battle for the Castle of Kareda has officially begun!
However, with the exception of the Defending Megabow, which can deal effective damage to enemies. The archers' attacks were not much of a threat to the enemy, and at the forefront of the Brenda Empire were a group of warriors with heavy black metal shields in their hands, their standard shields in their hands were more than two meters, and they could easily protect several of their comrades from harm. In the ancient times of the scientific and technological civilization of the earth, it was impossible for people to pick up this kind of shield weighing hundreds of pounds, but the warriors of the magical civilization could easily do it!
Under the protection of these Giant Shield Soldiers, the troops of the Brenda Empire rushed to the city of Kareda after leaving behind the corpses of less than a thousand soldiers, and then the Giant Shield Warriors stayed behind to protect the archers. A group of lightly armored soldiers crossed out of the formation and began to climb the walls of Kareda with their bare hands. For these professional soldiers with more than 20 agility points, it is not very difficult to climb the 20-zhang high wall.
And the archers of the Brenda Empire, protected by the giant shield warriors, also launched a counterattack against the defenders on the city walls, and from time to time the outcropping warriors were killed by flying arrows!
Faced with this situation, the Brenda Empire took out the materials that had been prepared for the defense of the city long ago. Countless fuel and boulders fell from the walls to these soldiers who were struggling to climb, and if they were unstable, they would fall off the walls, either dead or injured!
In just one hour, the number of Brenda Empire's siege troops has reached tens of thousands! At this time, the muffled horn sounded again, and the second batch of soldiers of the Brenda Empire launched a charge towards the city wall, among which were the two elite legions of the White Wings and the Golden War Elephant!
At this time, Wan Yi's mental damage was finally completely recovered!
