Chapter 275: The Siege Battle (I)
"Forward—"
Naturally, the Provisional Regiment did not have any majestic battle songs, nor did they have drums, horns, or even a command flag, and the commander only relied on roaring to give orders.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the legion, and after arranging the troops, they stood in dense formation, in fact, there were only a few squares, seven or eight rows horizontally and vertically.
The commander of the legion is the Overseer player, from Western Europe, and his ID should be his real name, which is transliterated as 'Malthus'. And, after observation, Charles concluded that this was still an advanced professional.
Overseers are much more difficult to advance than other classes, as they are not as strong as other Warlords, and they follow the leadership route. The stronger the team, the stronger they are, and in turn, the stronger they are, the stronger the team.
In Charles' eyes, this Malthusian leadership is commendable.
The legion consisted of about 300 men, divided into three major parts by him, and the vanguard was all warriors, including warriors and barbarians, wearing heavy armor and shields, and was responsible for covering the engineers to build ladders and siege engines outside the fortress walls.
In the Chinese army, there is a scattered team without the fighters, and other professions such as monks, mages, warlocks, and druids will be organized into squads.
The rear army is an aboriginal team, small in number, in a state of full readiness, ready to participate in the battle at any time when the order is heard, and can be regarded as a strong reinforcement.
Unfortunately, and I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Charles was assigned to the squad of Legion Commander Malthus. Looking at the name at the top of the list of avatars with the captain's mark, Charles' eyes were full of surprise.
Grade: 12.
After confirming it again and again, Charles knew that he was not dazzled, and Malthus was like him. Have 12 class levels.
To know. this level. It could have been on the list of the Adventurers' Guild, but the Charles had never seen that name. This only shows that Malthus is low-key, but he is definitely not an obscure player.
Judging by the respectful attitude of the rest of the legion, Charles knew that this person should have made a name for himself in the royal capital.
"It seems that I haven't been in Susar for nearly a month, and it is impossible to grasp all the changes in people and things in the royal capital from the forum alone......"
For those who popped up out of nowhere. Playing at the same level as himself, Charles was not much surprised except for the accident.
Not to mention Cormier, just in the Susar region, the number of players is tens of thousands, and the number is still increasing, how can he be like a god, and keep everyone's information in the palm of his hand.
"Cover Engineer—"
At this moment, a loud roar came from a few steps away, and Charles woke up.
Look up. It turned out that before I knew it, the temporary legion had arrived under the walls of the megalithic fortress. Commander Malthus snarled at the strikers.
This is Charles' first time participating in a siege in Dawn, and it is organized and commanded by the player, but he is not as agitated or apprehensive as the others, and his demeanor is very calm.
Malthus was roaring, not noticing the anomaly of the priest in the team, and the other four members of the team of course also knew Charles's level through their avatars, and their faces were full of surprise.
"Level Twelve...... Priest? ”
In the team, a thick-lined human female druid, almost stuck to Charles, looked left and right, and clapped his hands for a while before he said: "Wow, you are so powerful, our head is only level twelve." ”
Several hostile gazes suddenly converged.
"Commander, he?" Charles' eyes were on the female druid, and the other three hostile team members, captain Malthus, glanced over one by one, and nodded in his heart.
It turned out that except for him, the other five members of this team were all from the same team, and Malthus was the leader.
"Hello." Ignoring the three hostile male players, Charles stretched out his hand and shook the female druid's friendly hand, and said with a smile: "The druid can also heal, so I'll ask you for help when I can't get busy." ”
"Of course there is no problem." The rough-lined female druid smiled even brighter when she heard this, and she didn't know why, when pinching people, this druid chose the human blood of the Northlands, she was tall and big, and she was even half a head taller than Charles, not to mention the size, and most of Cormier's adult men were willing to bow down.
However, contrary to the fierce body type and height, the female druid's appearance can be called exquisite, with three-dimensional facial features, high nose bridge and deep eye sockets, plump lips and attractive lips, heroic spirit, and a statue-like beauty.
ID: Doreen.
Eleventh level.
Charles was speculating about the relationship between the female druid and Malthus, and in the darkness of the night, a sudden rain of arrows caused a riot in the array.
"It's a magic arrow, dodge!"
"Ah......h
The black arrows are hidden in the night, making them more stealthy and lethal. Anyone who was hit by an arrow had a black flame rising from the wound, scorching his skin.
It was evident that these black arrows contained a strong negative energy. The rain of arrows came suddenly, and Charles hurriedly raised his shield to protect the unsuspecting female druid behind him, and whispered, "Take out the shield to defend." ”
After a few seconds of commotion, the array gradually returned to calm. Doreen obediently took out an oak shield, stuck out her tongue at Charles, and half-crouched down side by side with the priest.
Boom, boom, boom.
In the rain of arrows, about five or six engineer players who studied siege equipment making, with the help of other warrior players, slowly pushed three siege vehicles in front of the stone wall.
These siege engines are all made of wood, which comes from the Forest of Kings.
"Oh, Nancy, they've got it, and it's worthy of Nancy." Druid Doreen shouted right next to Charles, with a look of excitement, "Half a day! Did you know that Nancy and her assistants built these three sturdy siege engines in only half a day, and Malthus was full of praise for her......"
"It's sturdy indeed."
Charr looked beyond the shield and froze on the three large machines filled with black feathered arrows in front of him, and he was secretly shocked.
Engineer.
This is a faction within the 'crafting' skill branch, and along with the life classes of blacksmith, alchemist, jeweler, and enchanter, engineers are also life classes.
But engineers have characteristics that other life professions do not have, for example, engineers must be organized, and it must be an organization that can wage war, otherwise there is no need for engineers to exist.
Speaking of engineers, we have to mention goblins and dwarves, their talent in this area is far beyond that of humans.
"Rush-"
Seeing the three siege vehicles smoothly leaning under the stone walls of the fortress, Commander Malthus's eyes showed great joy, and he raised his sword and shouted: "Striker, impact!" ”
"The Chinese army keeps up!"
"The rear army sees the opportunity to act and assists at any time!"
With that, the Overseer rushed like an arrow from a string, opening the back door to reveal the giant siege machine that swirled the wooden ladder.
"Hey, keep up, Malthus is going crazy again."
Charles was still a little stunned, who knew that the druid Doreen next to him muttered a complaint, and out of nowhere, he grabbed him to keep up with Malthus's pace. (To be continued......)
