Chapter Seventy-Two: The Battle of Norse (Part 2)
Today's last update! The codeword speed is not fast enough when I go to work, and I may have to travel next week! Hey, I've saved a little more manuscripts, and I'll only have one update in the next few days.
I hope you will forgive me! In addition, ask for clicks, ask for recommendations, and ask for favorites!!! -------------------------- the undisciplined dividing line---------------- that afternoon, when the city wall fortifications were repaired, everyone quietly took the city wall and waited for the demon legion to attack again.
But until the moon rose in mid-air, there were no bones or little demons in sight.
Most of the players began to get distracted after a long wait, and even the natives felt a little tired.
But before everyone could begin to doze off, reinforcements arrived, and everyone exchanged positions with the replacement as if they had been pardoned, and then fell to their kennels, snoring.
The next day, when the sun had already risen, a third group of reinforcements arrived.
The sound of people roaring and neighing made Chen Kai quarrel from his sleeping place, although he wanted to go back to his bedroom to sleep, but there was a dead man lying inside.
No matter how bold Chen Kai was, he didn't dare to lie down with the dead, so he could only find a place to lie in the hall outside.
When Chen Kai opened the tent and walked out, he found that the entire mountain fort was already full of people, and there were several soldiers crowded when he came out of the tent.
More often than not, the eyes of these warriors are eagerly looking at Amlifilk lying on the ridge, but the dragon sleeping on the ridge makes the defense nodes of the city wall appear blind spots, because the dragon's body is too large and directly occupies the entire defense platform on the top of the mountain.
However, the whole camp was still very calm, and Chen Kai quickly packed up his tent and withdrew to the camp at the bottom of the mountain.
The body of Archbishop Normat in the tent had been moved along with the large bed in Chen Kai's main bedroom, because if the body were moved, it would turn into a pile of dust.
However, Chen Kai was also happy to move away with the bed, although the price of the bed was not low at all, but Chen Kai didn't plan to ask for the bed that the dead man slept in, even if the other party was just a dead man in the game.
Chen Kai has been in the camp for five days, during which he and Bass took leave to go offline for a day of Qingming Festival, cleaned up the dust for his grandparents and ordered some paper money.
Chen Kai also went to Suzhou again in the evening to put incense on his former friend.
However, when Chen Kai returned to the game again, he still didn't hear the demon attacking the North Pass.
At this time, more and more reinforcements arrived at the North Pass, and the army's supplies began to be tight.
Although most of the food can be supplied by guò roads, not all food is produced, and the food attacks in the cities around Motuobo were originally supplied by Metuobo, because it is located on the Metuo Plain and the land is extremely fertile.
As a result, the surrounding cities suddenly lost the food supply of Motobo, and their own food supply became very tight, especially since there were more than 100,000 travelers from other worlds, making it very difficult to ensure the food supply that had just been able to ensure food and clothing.
Coupled with the food to supply nearly 50,000 troops, the heads of several city lords and food overseers around Motuobo were a few circles bigger, desperately asking Charles, who was in charge of the command, to destroy the demons as soon as possible and bring the Murtuo Plain back into the control of the empire.
Almost every quarter of an hour, a group of messengers, sent from a dozen surrounding towns, rushed to Charles's tent.
Charles also had a very big head at this time, and in addition to facing more than a dozen messengers from the city lords, he also had to negotiate with the regional leaders of other temples.
However, he was glad that the regional archbishop of the Temple of Radiance, which was the most difficult to deal with, had been directly eliminated due to internal problems, and the regional archbishop of the Goddess of Dusk had just fallen.
But more than a dozen bishops and archbishops of different temples stood in Charles's tent, constantly arguing, discussing the unrecovered city lords of Murtobo and the distribution of districts.
Charles looked at the temple leaders who were constantly ripping with anger and wanted to take out his weapons and cut them all down, but unfortunately he was also a member of the Dawn Temple, and he had no choice but to keep fighting with other temples for the benefit of the temple.
"Oh no!" An anxious voice suddenly interrupted the words of Archbishop Millil Silversilk of the Temple of Shadows, who was fighting with his might, and before Archbishop Millil could say anything, Charles pushed the crowd away and walked up to the messenger and asked, "What's going on, what's wrong?" Motobo... The demons in the city of Murtobo are gone! We searched all over the plains of Metuo, but we didn't see any of those monsters. ”
The messenger said breathlessly.
"What? Are you sure! The archbishop of the Earth Temple asked the messenger happily.
"Yes! Hundreds of our cavalry had already run all over the plain of Metuo, and we didn't see a single enemy.
Your Excellency, where are you going? Excellency! As soon as the messenger finished speaking, he noticed that the people in the tent had run away at once, and even the usually mild-mannered Lord Charles had hurried away.
Because there is an unwritten rule in the continent of Etiya, the first temple to recover the occupied city will have access to the supreme right to speak in the real city, and for this right, all the temple leaders have begun to summon their own men non-stop, ready to rush into Metobo.
When Bishop Jon led everyone to Fort Noss to change their guards, he saw the fortress of North, which had become an empty shell, and the walls that had been crumbled by his own people, and the huge amount of smoke and dust that had faded away.
"What's going on? Why are they all gone? Bishop Ron said blankly, looking at the almost empty Fort North.
"Let's go! Come on! The demons of Motobo have run out! A knight walking behind urged the troops in front to quickly give way, and as he spoke, he squeezed away Rong En, who was blocking the entrance of the city wall, and quickly rode out of the city wall.
At this time, a few kilometers south of the North Pass, a pair of fiery eyes suddenly lit up in the caves on several excavated rocks, followed by a second pair, and then a third pair.
The bones scattered around the ground began to coalesce, and the deep part of the cavern began to slowly turn hot and emit red-black flames.
In less than a minute, thousands of skeletons rushed out of the cavern, followed by the few small demons, the Inferior and the Miscellaneous Demons, and at the back were the even larger Flame Demons.
Bishop Rong En had a headache when he looked at the crowd of people who were constantly rushing out of the city wall to make a fortune in Metoba, especially since he always had a sense of foreboding in his heart, so he immediately asked a few earth elemental mages to repair the dismantled city wall, leaving only a few small doors to enter and exit.
However, as the news spread, more and more people wanted to run to Motobo to make a fortune, and the narrow doorway was about to be crushed by them, so Bishop Jon had to stand on the city wall and try his best to guide the crowd.
Chen Kai stood bored on the lookout with a telescope and looked around, his horse was dead, naturally it was impossible to run over a distance of more than ten kilometers to run to Motobo and take the pros to grab the loot, and he was not short of money to spend now, so he was very relieved to stay on the lookout platform as a lookout.
Suddenly, when his telescope swept over the southwest side, he saw a huge puff of smoke, "Could it be that the people who ran out saw that the things had been robbed and ran back?" ”
Chen Kai looked at the swaying telescope under the smoke and dust, and this look almost frightened him fell off the high observation deck.
It was indeed some adventurers and professions on horseback who had just rushed out, but it was not the ones who were chasing after them, but the skeletons with white bodies and the little demons flying in the air, and several tall fire demons followed behind with a sinister smile.
Chen Kai trembled and grabbed the rope of the alarm bell and struck it vigorously, each time he used all his strength, and in an instant, a very crisp bell sound sounded over the entire fortress, making the crowd that was crowding under the city wall and preparing to rush out of the city to make a fortune became very silent.
"Kaichen! What are you doing all about knocking around? Buzz took a bottle of dwarven liquor and drank it under the lookout, and then yelled at Chen Kai above.
"The devil is coming! Those demons haven't disappeared, they're rushing towards here! Chen Kai shouted down with all his strength.
"Cut! Don't lie! "Don't bother Lao Tzu to make a fortune, if you don't go out in front, hurry up and give way!" "Damn it! All go up the walls! Hurry up and get up to the walls! Bishop Rong En felt that what Chen Kai said might have made sense, so he also took out his binoculars and looked into the distance, which almost scared the middle-aged man in his forties to death, and countless bones were chasing hundreds of warriors on horseback rushing towards the North Pass.
Bishop Rong En's bishop's sacrificial robe is obviously more explanatory than Chen Kai's apprentice knight armor, and at this time, as long as the brain is not stupid, he knows what to do.
All the people who had been crowded on the edge of the city wall and were about to go out turned around and rushed to the wall defense platform at a faster speed, as for the escape, they did not think that once they became deserters, their own family and their parents would be humiliated.
As a result, desertion is the most despised in the world of Etia, and some people would rather commit suicide than become deserters.
"Crossbow Corrective Shot!" The highest-ranking commanders left in the entire North Pass were only a few bishops and knight chiefs.
Therefore, Ba had to be the commander of the crossbow machine defense, while Chen Kai was swallowing saliva and holding a bed crossbow, and it was the fourth Fei Yun who was responsible for aiming.
On a bed crossbow next to them were also a few acquaintances, who were in charge of aiming and shooting the same thief, the thief Dark Dagger who had fallen off not long ago.
"Hurry up and let Lao Tzu in! You soft-footed shrimp, earth elemental mages! Plug the walls for me, hurry! Bishop Jon shouted to the people under the walls.
"But there are still our people out there!" An earth elemental mage was reluctant to block the wall so early.
"Stupid! You're not going to let them climb the ropes! Hurry up and close the wall, or we'll all die! Bishop Rong yelled angrily at the mage.
Soon the walls were slowly sealed under the spells of the earth elemental mages, but everyone knew that those places could not withstand too much force.
Bishop Rong could only keep urging the mages to keep reinforcing those places, and in his heart he kept cursing those who rushed to the city of Metorbo that it was better to pick up everything and turn it into.
Fei Yun carefully adjusted the bed crossbow, and he kept reminding his companions to adjust the position of the bed crossbow, this kind of bed crossbow that was originally only operated by three people is now operated by five people.
Chen Kai and the four powerful warriors had to move the bed crossbow and adjust the direction in addition to being responsible for winding.
"Point to the left! And so on! Go a little to the right, you're back too fast! On the left! Fei Yun kept pressing the system prompts to ask Chen Kai and them to adjust the direction, and there would be a system calibration when they used the bed crossbow for the first time.
But only once, Fei Yun had to adjust the bed crossbow before the calibration was gone.
At this time, the calibration of the arrows and the placement were completed, and the bed crossbows in charge of several aboriginal professionals quickly shook, and then a red-dyed crossbow arrow disappeared from the bed crossbow.
It was ejected with a whoosh, and after crossing most of the battlefield, it landed straight in front of the skeleton warriors, startling several warriors running in front.
"A hundred meters more away! Get ready for the first round of shooting! Buzz looked at the effect of the shot, and shouted vigorously at all the crossbow machines on the wall.
"Damn it! It's time to adjust the crossbow again! Fei Yun muttered softly, but in exchange for a punch from Bass.
"Hurry up! Don't grind. ”
When the crossbow arrows of the first crossbow machine on the highest platform of the north gate were fired, the sound of the launch of the crossbow machine suddenly sounded on the entire city wall.
However, it is clear that most player-controlled ballistas are much less effective, as many of the bolts are already in the ground halfway through.
"Bastard! Hurry up and get my crossbow bolts! Buzz shouted under the walls! Thousands of low-level players are desperately running against the crossbow bolts to the city walls, all of them left in the mountain fort by their mentors.
However, there is one game where the player has already lost their mentor because the system says that their own mentor has been killed.
Therefore, these people are all red-eyed, and players who have been with their mentors for a long time have gradually regarded their mentors as living people, and some players who were born as orphans even regard the mentors in the game as fathers.
People who have not tried to lose their father's love simply cannot understand what it is like for those who have been lonely since childhood to suddenly appear in front of them with a very strict person who cares about them like their father.
A string of system prompts flashed in front of Chen Kai's eyes, "Destroy the Evil Bone Warrior to gain 5000 experience, and destroy the Evil Bone Warrior to gain 5000 experience!" "There are four experience tips in a row, the most important of which is the last one, which is to gain 1 point of battlefield merit.
It's not that Chen Kai hasn't won battlefield merits in the past few days, but all his merits add up to only 10 points, of which 5 points are obtained by blowing up the city wall.
Some time ago, he gained a total of 3 points in the defense of the city, and the remaining two points were to stand on the city wall for eight hours a day to get hardship money.
"Keep winding! Don't leave me in a daze! Buzz's roar spread across the walls, waking up all the players who had become a little sluggish at the sight of the lucrative payouts.
"Quick! Winding, fuck it, what a great experience! And meritorious! NND Lao Tzu only gained two points with so many points, and today he got 1 point with one arrow! Come on, brothers! "The player in charge of anti-crossbow arrows under the city wall is very envious and listens to the roar of that player, but unfortunately because the level is not enough or the profession is not worthy of them, they cannot participate in the launch of the crossbow machine, and can only do physical work under the city wall.
However, it is not for nothing, the system prompts them that each monster shot by the crossbow arrow they are responsible for transporting will be awarded 0.5 merit points, which is formulated by the battlefield commander Bishop Rong En and several other commanders.
"Guys, aim at Lao Tzu! Don't let Lao Tzu's arrows resist in vain! A player with a crossbow bolt shouted towards the wall.
"Hurry up! Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense! Second round of shooting! Buzz yelled at the player, then told the flag bearer to drop the flag.
The effect of the second round of attacks was significantly better than the first, and more than a hundred crossbow machines were densely placed on the hundreds of meters of city wall, and the number of this crossbow machine was much higher than a few days ago.
Therefore, after this round of attacks, the entire legion of the Skeleton Warriors was pierced by nearly a hundred huge crossbow arrows, but Buzz still felt that he was under a lot of pressure, because the entire Skeleton Legion still looked very large, and some bones were broken and then combined again after a while, becoming a new Skeleton Warrior.
The most important thing is that more bones have appeared behind those fire demons, and Buzz estimates that at least tens of thousands of bones are constantly rushing from the southwest.
"The third round of crossbow bolts is ready! The professional must be able to withstand Lao Tzu, and those bones must not be allowed to climb the city wall! Bas shouted to the Aboriginal professionals beside him.
There were thousands of professionals standing on the walls, but the number of bones was too small.
Bishop Rong kept sending several messengers to the camp below the mountain to find reinforcements, and he searched the entire camp to find many people, but all of them were players who had been left in the camp by the mentor as backups.
Bishop Ronn had no choice but to get all these players who were not qualified as reservists to the fortress, and also collected all the defensive equipment that could be found in the entire camp.
It's a pity that the time is too short, because it only takes ten minutes from the discovery of the demon to the attack, so no matter how tight Bishop Rong En's urging, he can't let everyone run from the camp to the castle at once.
While a bitter defensive battle unfolds on the walls, the first reinforcements made up of players have just arrived at the fortress.
Jon quickly asked them to activate the catapults that were placed on the flat bottom, using the pressure of the boulders to reduce the pressure on the walls.
However, this did not reduce the pressure on the walls, and Buzz had given up his command to take up arms and join the ranks of the skeletal warriors.
Chen Kai should be grateful to the mages who used spells to forge the crossbow machine, because the entire crossbow machine clearly protrudes from the city wall and is one meter higher than the surrounding area.
Chen Kai could see the trembling-looking skeletons of bones rushing up from under the city walls, rushing up the city walls to fight with the defenders on the city walls.
However, it is not that Chen Kai and the others are fine, in fact, the danger on the crossbow machine is not lower than that on the city wall.
Although those bone frames can't climb up for the time being, those flying little devils can fly up lightly.
In addition to Chen Kai and them, there were also several mages and mage apprentices on the crossbow machine, but more of them were players holding shields to defend against the arrows of bone archers.
More than a dozen people occupied most of the crossbow platform, but now they only need to shoot the crossbow arrows towards the city, and there is no need to aim at all.
Chen Kai didn't have time to count how much experience he had gained, or how many merits he had achieved, he just mechanically turned the bed crossbow and kept shouting for the players in front of him to block the bed crossbow shooting world to go away.
Every moment, a few players screamed and were pulled off the city wall with weapons by the little demons flying in the sky, and then fell off the city and fell into a dense pile of bones.
Suddenly, the entire bed crossbow shook, and the wooden trigger used to hold the ejection rope broke, and even the entire crossbow machine was broken a little by this sudden force.
Chen Kai was stunned by this incident, but he was still very glad that the ejection rope of the bed crossbow was not broken.
If the ejection rope of the bed crossbow breaks from it, then basically there will be few people on the entire crossbow machine that can stand alive.
Being able to shoot a wooden crossbow arrow weighing a hundred catties at a distance of nearly two kilometers is that everyone understands how powerful that tendon rope is, and even a few senior mages standing on the crossbow machine are scared into a cold sweat.
Almost soon, the bed crossbows on the walls began to be damaged, and in order to prevent the bungee from breaking and hurting the people on the walls, Buzz had to turn around and give the order to stop using the bed crossbows.
Although they can't use the bed crossbow, it doesn't mean that Chen Kai and they can't attack the bones that dismounted.
Seeing the barrels of gunpowder piled up in the gunpowder warehouse under the city wall, Chen Kai directly pulled out a wooden plank and used the seesaw method to warp the ignited powder keg directly under the city wall.
Orange fireballs appeared in the group of bones under the city walls, but the actual damage was not very high.
Chen Kai found that the bones were highly resistant to flames, and the explosive impact of gunpowder was far from enough to blow the bones into powder.
Therefore, the effect is lower than that of a bed crossbow, as you can know from gaining experience.
The bed crossbow can give Chen Kai at least 4 bones of experience at a time, but the flame can only gain two to three.
Moreover, the danger of gunpowder was even higher than that of a bed crossbow, and if you accidentally did not blow up the bones underneath, you would explode on the city wall by yourself.
And the smoke produced by the burning of the original black powder is very large, Chen Kai and their position is okay, at least the city wall is still upwind now, but as the other players follow suit, soon the entire city wall will be filled with black smoke, which not only blocks the view on the city wall, but also gives those demons mixed in the pile of bones a chance.
Under the cover of smoke, some demons kept approaching the city wall, and suddenly rushed out of the smoke and jumped onto the city as soon as they approached the wall.
The entire defensive battle entered the most dangerous situation at this time, and everyone on the city walls, including the player, joined the fierce defense battle.
