Just ten volleys brought down more than a hundred slave warriors, and countless wounded people were left standing. However, this lethality obviously failed to stop the opponent's offensive. The goblin-like creatures at the back of the line stepped over the corpses of their fallen companions, seemingly moving on unwaveringly. They hurried to the moat by the city wall and pushed the carts they had prepared in advance - the Dark Elf army in front of them obviously had their own way of filling the ditch.

"Bang!" A basketball-sized stone projectile smashes into the bull's-eye hole used by Barrett. Although the stiff Minghei rock walls did not have any problems. But the stone bullet that hit was inevitably rubbed off a few fragments. One of these fragments bounced into the bull's eye, and then flew towards Barrett, who was firing his bow and arrow.

Sensing that something was wrong, Barrett immediately turned his head sideways, so that the stone shard did not hurt his eye—but there was still a streak of blood on his cheek. Releasing the compound longbow in his hand, Barrett subconsciously reached out and touched the wound on his cheek: "Careless, still careless!" I've been away from the battlefield for too long, and it seems that I've become a little estranged from here. ’

A clash between two armies and a squad fight are completely different things. Many of the threats that you can handle in a normal duel become poisonous snakes that can take your life at any time on the battlefield. Because the situation on the battlefield is far more complicated than ordinary adventures, and it is difficult to give people much room to maneuver in such an environment.

Fortunately, at this time, the two giant catapults in the forward fortress also began to wield. Polished stone projectiles whizzed towards the towering catapult of the dark elves. Unfortunately, after a puff of dust, only a few slave craftsmen in charge of the control were stoned to death. The effect on the body is not too great - the black dwarves are no less metallic than their cousins. This made those metal catapults stand the test of war.

The control of this counterweight catapult is relatively simple, and it is relatively cumbersome to train only the key person who is responsible for calculating the counterweight ratio. So the dark elves had quite a few reserves, so it didn't take long for the catapults that were just going to be dumb. Began to shoot whistling projectiles again.

There was a back-and-forth between the two sides, but the dark elves had the upper hand after all. After all, the space for advancing the fortress is limited, so the number of heavy catapults is naturally limited. Fortunately, if the equipment is not good, there is still manpower, and the individual force of this world is vividly manifested at the moment.

I saw a flash of black light in the tower behind the second wall. Then the Dark Elves' giant catapults began to have problems one after another - some of them had their bearings bent, some of them had broken their poles, and some of them had their counterweights broken. However, I don't know what effective response the other party made and saved the last two trebuchets.

And after the opponent's siege equipment has been effectively suppressed. The defenders and archers on the walls immediately launched an even more fierce attack. There were slave soldiers who were constantly attacking, but even as a large number of people fell, the slaves hesitated for a moment, and the formation was broken. I had to turn around and run away. Soon after, however, they regrouped again, and then they were dispersed by a rain of arrows, and so on.

At the same time, behind these cannon fodder is a group of dark elf archers who swarm up. Prepare to suppress the defenders on the city walls. Unfortunately, a rain of arrows was as dense as a heavy rain, aiming at the city walls. Even though all of them were blocked by the solid rock walls, only a handful of them hit the target.

It can be said that even under the fierce attack of the archers on the city walls, they still rushed forward regardless of life and death. Barrett, who noticed that something was wrong, put down his longbow with 12 shots and 9 shots and 4 fell to the ground. With a somewhat strange look, he looked at the slave soldiers who could be called a successor.

I saw him touch his chin: "Can those black skins give medicine to these slaves?" Or some large-scale war spell? ”

"Ahh A soldier who was winding a crossbow was struck in the left eye by a stray arrow shot through an unsealed observation port. The bright red blood immediately dripped down the shaft of the arrow to the ground.

Immediately after that, the soldiers who were able to help the wounded man to the side of the stretcher, and then carried him to the medical station under the protection of the city walls. The frequency of shooting in the entire building, including Barrett, was not greatly affected by this.

However, after a while, the archers who had shot about 20 or so arrows stopped moving. They began to gently shake their shoulders and arms. He took a short break of his own - an adjustment that was absolutely necessary if the archers wanted to maintain their shooting career for a long time.

It's the crossbowmen. Although the shooting speed is extremely slow if you do it yourself. However, if someone else helps to wind it, and there are enough crossbows to replace it. Or can make not bad archers too often to strike. On the contrary, there is a certain advantage in terms of duration, after all, the physical work is shared by different people.

With the efforts of the slave soldiers, the original ravine has been built into a passable pontoon bridge by those metal plates. Such an improvised bridge seems to have been prepared for the siege tower that was ready to go. The so-called siege tower is a powerful siege weapon, the tower is tall, and the tower is equipped with wheels under the tower to travel. During a siege battle, push it closer to the wall and the soldiers will be able to step directly from the platform at the top of the tower to the head of the enemy wall.

Seeing this, the guards knew that it was time to let the alchemy bombs that had been stored for a long time wield their power. As each of the clay pots thrown by the guards was detonated, the thunderous sound was heard endlessly. The makeshift bridges made of metal were immediately smashed to pieces, and even if they were not completely damaged, it was impossible to support the siege towers.

But just when the advance fortress had just won a victory, only a loud "bang" was heard. It was the sound of the drawbridge falling. Two green rays of light successfully hit the link between the drawbridge and the iron cable. After a bridge plate dissolves into nothingness, the entire suspension bridge is reopened under the force of gravity.

Compared to the mainland, many times have to rely on manpower to cut the iron cables. The Dark Elves are much more relaxed, and they don't seem to have a shortage of spellcasters willing to brave the rain of arrows to get to the front line. With the fall of the drawbridge. The trolls and minotaurs, who had been waiting on the sidelines, immediately took action.

They relied on their far more than ordinary pace, and rushed to the door like this. Again and again, the battering ram carved into the shape of a ram's head slammed into the gates, with the swing of many strong arms—the ram's head on the battering ram did not touch the gates directly. But the unbreakable force field that is constant on it continues to leave its mark on the city gates.

When the soldiers defending the city saw this, they immediately threw a large amount of fire at the gates, but every time a large creature was killed by bombs dropped by the defenders, or deprived of its ability to move by arrows fired from the towers. Immediately, other large creatures came to replace them. Again and again, the huge city-breaking hammer slammed into the city gates. Good thing in a real big battering ram. I won't be able to get to my post for a while.

After the archers' attack was attracted by the city gate, hundreds of ladders were erected against the city wall in a short time. The offensive of these black skins was really wave after wave, from above and under the city walls. The defenders instantly felt Alexander.

And these siegers in front of them have a certain amount of experience, no matter how you look at them. The location where those siege ladders were erected did not directly hang down the city. This adds a lot of difficulty to the Slavers who climb and fight. Originally, I could have climbed directly to the building like this. Now the last step is only to rely on your arms and balance. But it also effectively solves the threat of the fork lever, so that it will not be pushed down by someone and the ladder will die in a string!

Seeing this, the soldiers who were responsible for dealing with the wall climbers stood on the top of the building. They kept throwing stones and lime down. As a result, a large number of slave soldiers made a free fall movement, and fell into a ball in the shallow pit formed by the ground. Of course, there are also some slave soldiers, who rely on their agility to dodge the constant drops of throwing objects above their heads. But one of them reached out and grabbed the wall. When trying to climb up. Immediately, several blades beckoned at him. As a result, he fell down and slammed into the heads of the other slave soldiers.

It was after these slaves had attracted the main attention of the fortress. The mages of the dark elves hid behind and kept casting spells. However, these hair elements are neither attacking the enemy nor defending themselves. Instead, it controls the energy and creates one rectangular physical field after another. They hovered in the air against the city walls, ascending step by step, forming more than a dozen transparent ladders.

This force field ladder is made of magic, suspended in the air, and cannot be pushed open and overturned. Security has been greatly enhanced. The ladder is transparent and colorless, with a glimmer of magic on it. While the vast majority of humans may be unrecognizable, it is not a problem for the Dark Elves. Because the education of the dark elves has always been comprehensive, even the warriors have received basic magical training.

It seems that because of the very adequate preparation, dozens of suspended force field ladders were quickly built. The mages retreated to rest, while the Dark Elf warriors who had already prepared were fully armed. They swarmed with long swords and scimitars, and from a distance they looked like the walls were crawling with dense ants.

With this avenue to heaven, the soldiers above and below the city quickly met each other. The two sides fought fiercely. The side defending the city is condescending and has a terrain advantage, so it naturally has the upper hand at first. But the Dark Elves came prepared, and there were many of them, and gradually turned the situation back.

In order to cooperate with this attack, the Dark Elves' last remaining catapult threw a batch of magic cannonballs—red fireballs, crackling ball lightning, and yellow-green, yellow-green acid—all of which smashed towards the city.

However, at this time, the dwarven runemasters in the forward fortress also made a move - because the main threat came from the dark elves, the spellcaster structure in the forward fortress was a bit special. A large number of Runemasters are recruited each year, as they tend to have more magic that ignores spell resistance.

As these heavily armored dwarves raised their scepters, a star-map-like barrier instantly blocked the front of those magic projectiles. And after those shells passed through the barrier, all the methods attached to them disappeared, as if they had turned into hollow iron balls. Because these magic cannonballs are not pure energy bodies like spells, they require physical attachment to be effective.

However, although there is no effect of the spell, the metal ball thrown by the catapult weighs more than ten pounds even if it is hollow. Just a physical impact on a person can also cause a lot of damage. In the face of this crackling shower of metal, the soldiers at the head of the city had to lower their heads and raise their shields high. At the same time, they formed an array next to each other, relying on the fish scale array composed of shields to protect themselves.

After a puff of smoke and dust, the soldiers defending the city also suffered some damage. However, in the case of the attack just now, there were not many casualties. After all, those magic bullets don't use their own impact as the main means of killing.

And at this moment, Barrett has also been fighting bloodily on the front line of the city, and the 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife that opens and closes is just right for the situation in front of him. The long knife is full of flesh and blood, and the sharpness of the ancient weapon is not something that ordinary armor can resist. With Barrett's strength, with every swing, an intruder must fall off the wall.

After more and more dark elves lost their combat effectiveness, a low horn was sounded. The first wave of the attack of the day by those black skins was repulsed in this way. However, in the face of an enemy several times their own in the distance, the soldiers defending the city wisely did not choose to open the door and pursue.

After that, there was a half-minute silence on the battlefield, and then a deafening cheer erupted from the head of the fortress. All the soldiers slammed their shields or armor with their weapons, making a loud metal crash. However, after a brief vent, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield on the castle tower. The wounded are being treated in a classified manner.

The craftsmen rushed to the door to repair the damaged Mithril door, which was one of the defenders' most important defenses. And the city's top brass are discussing the possibility of destroying the lowered suspension bridge. (To be continued......)
