Chapter 353: The Siege
The appearance of the reconnaissance bone carving undoubtedly indicates that the evil alliance is going to use troops against this intermediate city, in other words, Xiao Yu and the others have no chance to sneak into this city with a population of hundreds of thousands to assassinate the city lord, but if the evil alliance comes over, Xiao Yu and the others will have a chance.
The Scout Bone Sculpture lingered nearby for a moment before heading back in the direction of Diya. I don't know when Diya's army will come, and they will have to wait a while before they have a chance to attack.
After completing one task after another, Xiao Yu also somewhat understood the mastermind's 'acting style'. During the war between the two alliances, the mastermind will issue a large number of tasks to the players of the two alliances, and the completion of the tasks of the players of the two alliances will determine the direction of the war between the angel alliance and the evil alliance. All players are on track to complete the task, supporting the big picture between the two alliances.
The task that Xiao Yu and others received is likely to be related to the victory of the local war, whether they can take the city, and carry out the next military action.
System: You discovered the city of Solo.
The walls are covered with mottled traces of war, and due to its proximity to the border, the city has often been caught up in war, changing hands several times, and the Angel Alliance has added heavy troops here. The walls are full of siege engines, and behind the walls are a large number of towering arrow towers, this mid-level city can even be called a medium-sized fortress.
Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the city gate, the city gate was guarded by a queue of more than 100 guards, there were many NPC hunters, the city gate was wide open, and Angel Alliance players could enter and exit freely, but it was not so simple for Xiao Yu and the others to enter.
Xiao Yu and the others went under the city wall and hid.
"What should I do, I can't even enter the city." Fateful looked at Xiao Yu inquiringly and asked.
"Stay here for now, don't go anywhere, and see how it goes." Xiao Yu said, turned on the hidden step, entered the stealth state, touched in the direction of the city gate, and threw a reconnaissance to one of the guards.
Solo City Guard: Level 30 Elite, Spear Warrior.
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, although he was only a level 30 elite, there were more than a hundred guards at the city gate, and it was impossible to forcibly break through.
A hoarse dragon groan came from the sky, and Xiao Yu looked up to see that five huge bone dragons appeared in the sky.
"There's an enemy attack!"
Dangdang, a hurried warning sounded in the city.
Five bone dragons swooped down. Xiao Yu was overjoyed, it was impossible for the mastermind to explain an incompleteable task to the player, and it would definitely create conditions for the player to complete the task. The appearance of these five bone dragons was the time for Xiao Yu and the others to enter Solo City.
"Enemy attack, it's a bone dragon!"
"The Bone Dragon is attacking the city!"
The interior of Solo City was suddenly in chaos, and the players shouted one after another.
The war machines on the walls and the arrow towers behind them were in motion, and countless arrows were shooting densely into the sky, and the sky was dark.
Ding ding ding, dense arrows were designed on the bone dragons, and the damage values floated on the bone dragons, but those bone dragons did not stop and fell from the sky.
Boom, a bone dragon crushed two arrow towers, entrenched on the city wall, and trampled a large number of siege equipment into pieces.
Some of the five bone dragons landed on the city wall, some landed on the houses on the streets, and some simply climbed the arrow tower, how could the fragile arrow tower withstand such destruction, and gradually tilted down, smashing into the city, causing a panicked cry.
A rain of arrows and magic slammed down on the bone dragon's body, causing the bone dragon to roar in rage.
"It's kind of like a monster siege in a post-apocalyptic movie." Fate laughed.
"It's very similar."
Xiao Yu looked in the direction of the city gate, and the guards at the city gate had withdrawn into the city.
"Good chance, let's go into town!" Xiao Yu said, sweeping in the direction of the city gate, followed by the fallen candy and the others.
Xiao Yu arrived in front of the city gate, but found that the hundreds of city guards were slowly closing the city gate.
If you go in, Xiao Yu and the others will be easily discovered, and they will definitely die, and if you don't go in, the city gate will be closed.
"To get in?" Fate looked at Xiao Yu anxiously.
"Don't enter!" Xiao Yu said in a resolute tone, leaving the green mountains here, not afraid of no firewood, if you go in now, you will definitely be discovered, it is an act of sending you to death. Maybe there's another chance later.
Bang, the city gate is closed, and the closed city gate makes the team members a little nervous, do they still have a chance to enter?
It was only a few minutes before there was a loud bang, and the city gate flew upside down, fell on the ground outside the city, and fell apart, and a bone dragon rushed out, and the city gate was actually knocked out by the bone dragon from the inside out.
Don't miss the opportunity.
"Come in, pay attention to concealment, don't be exposed!" Xiao Yu shouted, opened the hidden step and flew in the direction of the city gate, flew towards the city, and looked towards the city, the situation in the city really surprised Xiao Yu, it was a mess, and it was full of ruins and rubble.
The three bone dragons flew up tremblingly, and the corpses of two bone dragons lay on the ruins.
On the lookout platform in the center of the city, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes waved the long knife in his hand, pointed at the bone dragon in the sky, and roared: "Shoot!" ”
Countless arrows flew into the sky, covering the three bone dragons, and the two bone dragons whimpered, fell from the sky, and fell to the ground.
There was only one bone dragon left in the sky, flapping its wings and flying crookedly towards the north.
Xiao Yu looked at the lookout in the center of Solo City, and the face of this middle-aged man was instantly firmly engraved in Xiao Yu's mind, and four words appeared in Xiao Yu's mind: target person!
These five bone dragons were just the vanguard of the early attack, and the losses were really heavy enough, only one of the five bone dragons escaped, but they also caused a lot of damage to Solo City.
Looking down the street, there are ruins and rubble everywhere, piled high on top of each other, lying with the corpses of many NPCs, and many players who pass by have also been killed, and the corpses are scattered all over the ground.
Xiao Yu flew towards the dilapidated houses on the side of the street, looking for a place to hide.
"Report the coordinates!"
“395.280.385。”
“300.309.302。”
……
The team members reported their coordinates in the team chat, Xiao Yu glanced at the nearby houses, according to the coordinates, he could determine that there were a few team members lurking near him, but everyone was very well hidden, and he couldn't see other team members.
The chaos is mixed in, but if you want to kill the city lord, you must find an opportunity to start, and if you search for the city lord rashly, you may be found and killed by the players in the city.
"The people of Solo City, the griffin knights have found a large number of unholy alliance troops in the north of Solo City, the despicable evil alliance is about to fight, for the glory of Erathia, take up your weapons, defend your homeland, you are immortal people of God, may the true god Tamos be with you!" On the lookout, the middle-aged man in a fancy costume brandished his command sword and said loudly.
The words of the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes stirred up a thousand waves, and the residents of Solo City looked panicked, and the city guards quickly gathered. A large number of players also went to the main street, discussing enthusiastically, faintly mixed with excited expressions, afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Xiao Yu pursed his lips disdainfully, and moved out of the name of God at every turn, this guy must also be an old god.
"The lord of the city said that there was going to be a war."
"The Unholy Alliance is out of the city!"
These Angel Alliance players have their own ideas, they all want to get a vote in the war, if the situation is not good, then run away, if the evil alliance is defeated, then beat the water dogs.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A few gruff voices rang out.
"It's a cyclops!"
In the middle of the street, six stout giants five or six yards tall appeared in Xiao Yu's field of vision, these guys were dressed in simple clothes, except for the clothes that covered their lower bodies, they were bare-striped, bronzed, and their bodies were strong and stout, with a huge one-eye on their foreheads.
Players hurry to make way for the Cyclops.
The cyclops walked in the direction of the city gate, lifted the collapsed ruins and rocks, and blocked the city gate, and the six cyclops started in unison, and after a while, the city gate was tightly blocked by ruins and mud and stones.
"During the war, post stations and flying points are not allowed to be used! The teleportation array is only allowed to enter in one direction, if there is an unauthorized user, kill! The majestic voice of the city lord floated from above.
"Damn, this trick is ruthless, we can't leave even if we want to."
The players exploded, the city gates were blocked, the flight points could not be used, and even the expensive teleportation array could only enter and exit, and they could only live and die with the city guards here.
"If you die, you will hang up a level, it's a big deal."
Seeing that the back road is desperate, these players can only hope that Solo City can be defended, if they can't hold it, they will all be doomed.
Mages and archers flocked to towers and towers, melee pros climbed the walls, and priests took refuge in the walls of the walls, allowing them to heal melee players without lacking protection. The oldest siege is about to begin.
The six cyclops launched a large number of boulders from a nearby warehouse, each of which was the size of a small house, and if they fell from a high altitude, both the player and the NPC would have to be smashed to pieces.
In fact, in addition to their incredible combat power, each Cyclops is no less effective than trebuchets in major wars, and can throw stones to smash opponents with great force, which is as terrible as trebuchets.
In addition to these prepared boulders, the Cyclops was accompanied by several earth mages, ready to make stones and replenish ammunition for the Cyclops.
After a while, a large number of cavalry in standard armor gathered on the main road of Solo, and as soon as the gates were retreated, or an unholy alliance creature entered the city from the sky, their battle began.
The entire city of Solo entered a tense state of combat readiness.
The Angel Alliance players looked north on the city wall, and gasped one by one, and on the northern plains, the black-pressed Evil Alliance NPC legion appeared in their field of vision, just like ants, until the end of the sky, all of them were skeleton soldiers, and in the sky were flocks of bone eagles and crows, fortunately, there were not too many high-level creatures.
This is the most common Sea of Bone tactic used by the undead.
After getting closer, players found that those skeleton soldiers were extremely small, at most some level 30 ordinary monsters, after all, it was a local war, and it was impossible for the evil alliance to send the main army, so they were all cannon fodder characters, but these cannon fodder were expensive in number, and the endless tide of skeleton soldiers was also very unbearable.
The army pressed the realm, and the skeleton legion stopped two hundred yards away from the city wall, surrounded the entire Solo City, stood still, and brushed a piece of it, motionless, and the players on the city wall couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
After a while, more than fifty huge catapults slowly drove from behind. Compared with the trebuchet, the catapult's catapult ability is much weaker, and the attack distance is shorter, but it is more important to maneuver, and the evil alliance side has no time to bring the heavy trebuchet over in order to surprise attack Solo City, so it can only use a slightly weaker catapult to destroy the city wall.
More than fifty giant catapults stopped about five hundred yards from the city walls.
"If you change classes and learn group attack magic, it will be cool, no matter how many skeleton soldiers there are, it will be useless." A fire law said regretfully, these skeleton soldiers in front of him are just thirty-level skeletons summoned by some ordinary necromancers, they are very easy to deal with, a group attack magic can kill a large area, if there is a group of mages who can attack magic, maybe they can block these skeleton soldiers.
"Stop dreaming."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, we're the fire of the Temple."
The players on the walls rioted, and about hundreds of players wearing red guild medals poured onto the walls, with a variety of classes, as well as a number of mages and priests.
"What's so great about the fire of the temple." One player couldn't help but mutter, but seeing this group of wolf-like guys, he still wisely chose to retreat, the Templar Fire is now a giant of the Angel Alliance, and even the second-ranked Dragon Flame is much weaker than the Templar Flame.
"What is the mage doing on the wall? Should go to the Arrow Tower! ”
"Didn't you see that those mages were turned mages?"
"Why do you have to go up to the city wall when you become a mage?"
"The attack distance of group attack magic is not as far as that of ordinary attack magic, and there is no way to put group attack magic on the arrow tower, of course, you can only go up to the city wall."
"It's very dangerous on the city walls, if there are only skeleton soldiers, it's better to say, there are often a large number of skeleton archers and skeleton mages in the skeleton soldiers, if you shoot against these mages, these mages will probably be killed."
"That's something that can't be helped."
The Templar Fire players turned a deaf ear to these chatters, and a large number of shield warriors poured to the front, protecting the mages behind them and forming a formation.
Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, not knowing when this war would start, as soon as the war started, their mission was about to begin.
"How long do we have to wait?"
"I can't tell, it looks like the army from the Unholy Alliance has arrived."
The team chatted without a word, and after the initial hectic turmoil, the city of Solo had quieted down. Looking at Xiao Yu's watchtower, the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes stood majestically, like a tall mountain, issuing orders one after another, and Solo City was running in an orderly manner under his command.
Xiao Yu and the others took advantage of the cover of the house and gradually approached the lookout.
The watchtower is a very majestic building, standing in the middle of the city of Solo, fifty or sixty yards high, it is the tallest building in the city of Solo, and at the top is a platform, and the lord of Solo is at the top of the watchtower. There are sixty or seventy magic turrets next to the watchtower, which are tightly guarded in the middle, not to mention five bone dragons, even five hundred may not be able to defeat them. No matter how many forces the Unholy Alliance has, it is impossible to send five hundred bone dragons against a medium-sized city.
The closer you get to the watchtower, the tighter it becomes, and from time to time there are patrolling city guards walking near the watchtower.
A hundred yards away from the watchtower, there was a large cluster of neatly clustered houses below, free of clutter, and the streets were wide and not easy to hide.
"You stay here first, I'll go over and have a look!" Xiao Yu said, worried that the team members were not well concealed and were discovered by the city guards, and the problem would be serious.
Seeing that Fate and the others had no objections, Xiao Yu was about to start the hidden step, and an Angel Alliance NPC dressed in ordinary civilian clothes walked straight towards the place where Xiao Yu was hiding.
Xiao Yu clenched the dagger in his hand, there are a large number of city guards in this vicinity, if there is a battle here, it is likely to lure the city guards over, then the problem is serious.
Xiao Yu threw a reconnaissance on the civilian.
Civilians in Solo City: Level 10, 500 HP.
Xiao Yu exhaled a breath and made a false alarm, this civilian was only level ten, and he only had five hundred points of blood.
"You deserve your bad luck." If this civilian passed by, Xiao Yu would definitely let him go, but he ran into the place where he was hiding, and Xiao Yu couldn't help it, so he raised his dagger and wiped it on the throat of this civilian.
The civilian's pupils gradually dilated, and he fell towards the place where Xiao Yu was, Xiao Yu supported his body with his hand, saw something falling on the ground, and scooped it up.
Xiao Yu propped up the body of this civilian, walked to the corner next to him, and hid the corpse.
"What happened?" Lemon noticed the abnormality on Xiao Yu's side and asked.
"Nothing, take out a civilian." Xiao Yu replied, taking out the thing dropped by the civilian and looking at it.
Citizen of Solo City Certification: Special Item. After using this item, you can disguise yourself as a citizen of Solo City for 30 seconds. Single-use items.
It's actually a citizen card, this watchtower doesn't allow citizens to enter, so it can't be used for the time being, but when you escape, this thing is too useful, you can disguise yourself as a citizen and abscond, so as to avoid being killed by the city guards after a successful assassination.
"I'm going up to kill some more civilians in Solo City during this time, and explode more of this thing." Xiao Yu said, sharing the attributes of the Solo City Citizen Certificate with Lemon and the others, "Remember, don't expose it." ”
"Understood." Lemon and the others are also clever players, otherwise they wouldn't be able to mix with such a high level now, and after Xiao Yu shared the attributes of the city citizen card, they understood what to do.
Xiao Yu started to walk in the direction of the watchtower, while Lemon and the others began to look for the civilians in the city.
A group of more than a hundred city guards walked past the watchtower, followed by some cheetahs. However, these cheetahs did not perceive Xiao Yu, their sense of smell was only seven or eight levels at most, and Xiao Yu's hidden steps were not above level ten and their sense of sight and smell could not be detected.
The city guard departed.
Xiao Yu entered the watchtower, stayed at the gate of the watchtower for ten minutes, and counted it, the city guards outside the watchtower walked by a group every two minutes, taking advantage of this gap, Lemon and the others still had a chance to pass.
Inside the tower is a spiral staircase that spirals upwards, and there are horizontal walkways and rooms next to the stairs.
Xiao Yu glanced at the top, such a high watchtower, it would take a lot of effort to climb it.
Xiao Yu climbed down the spiraling stairs towards the top of the building.
A group of guards came down the stairs, and one of them also brought a huge mastiff, which was the size of a lion and looked very scary.
Xiao Yu flashed to the side of the stairs and tried to tighten his body.
This team of city guards passed by Xiao Yu's side, and when the mastiff passed by Xiao Yu's side, it suddenly stopped, and its nose kept sniffing where Xiao Yu was?
"Discovered?" Xiao Yu's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and for the sake of safety, he quickly turned on the olfactory fraud.
The mastiff sniffed for a long time, but found nothing, and under the pull of a city guard, he walked down.
Seeing this team of city guards leaving, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, continued to go up, and ran into three teams of city guards.
Xiao Yu reached the top of the watchtower and looked ahead, where two teams of more than 200 city guards were stationed on the open platform, as well as a few huge mastiffs. The middle-aged man in fine clothes was standing at the front of the lookout, looking in the direction of the city gate.
It took about three minutes to reach the top of the watchtower from the bottom of the watchtower, but with so many city guards there, Xiao Yu and the others couldn't make a move.
"One more chance." Xiao Yu understood that the mastermind would definitely provide an opportunity to assassinate the city lord of Solo, that opportunity was fleeting, and that opportunity must be seized to complete the task, before that, Xiao Yu and the others must wait patiently.
Xiao Yu was able to reach the top of the watchtower, but he only relied on the effect of a few stealth skills with excellent effects, and if he was replaced by Lemon and others, I am afraid that he would not even be able to reach the top of the watchtower.
Xiao Yu must hurry down, otherwise when the stealth skills are used up, he will also be discovered, there are two teams of city guards on the lookout, and there are three teams of city guards on the stairs, if it is exposed, I am afraid that Xiao Yu will also be blocked on it, and there is no chance to run away at all.
Xiao Yu returned the same way and sneaked back to the bottom of the watchtower.
"Well, how many city citizen certificates have been collected?" Xiao Yu hid in a hidden place and asked.
"More than thirty." Lemon said.
"Huh, so much?" Xiao Yu was taken aback, he thought that there were more than a dozen, and one for one person was enough, but he didn't expect that they had collected so many lemons. "Are you sure you haven't been exposed?" Xiao Yu knew that these NPCs were extremely intelligent, and if NPC civilians found out that so many people had been killed in the city, they might tell the city guards about it. The more times like this, the more careless it is, otherwise it is likely to cause very serious consequences.
"Nope."
"That's good."
