Chapter IV Local Conflicts
Outside the city of Delaneh, blue and red blood mixed together soaked the land, and the ground was full of crooked limbs and broken corpses, revealing a strange tranquility in the tragedy.
Soon, this silence was shattered by a shout.
"Another wave of trolls is coming! There are a handful of berserkers! Prepare for the Giant Crossbow! On the arrow tower at the gate of the town, an archer with Eagle Eye shouted loudly.
"Cluck-la-la!" With the creak of the winch spinning, the exaggerated crossbow was pulled apart little by little, and then, the huge crossbow bolt of the crosshead was carried by three soldiers to the crossbow, and the sharp arrow shone with a breathtaking cold light.
"It's coming! Here it comes! Aim at the gap between the two trees directly in front of you, the one with a stone in the middle, and launch it in 3 seconds! ”
According to the observer's report, the soldiers who were manipulating carefully adjusted the crosshairs of the crossbow to the lookout mountain.
"Three"
"Two"
"One! Launch! ”
"Boom!" The homing crossbow string tore through the air and let out an air explosion, and under the drive of the crossbow string, the huge crossbow bolt shot out with indestructible power, turning into a streamer of light towards the woods.
"Roar!" Just when the archers were counting down, a huge figure appeared at the edge of the forest, it was a berserker, a variant of a troll, different from ordinary trolls, this variant was 10 meters tall, and its body was full of muscles like rocks, and its strength was infinite. And only war vehicles can compete with it.
However, this monster was only arrogant for a moment, and the next moment it was torn in two by the invincible crossbow, and the two deformed thighs were still in place, but the upper body was missing.
Before they could cheer, with the sound of the berserker's two legs falling to the ground, hundreds of trolls from behind rushed out, brandishing crude weapons and making meaningless roars towards the city wall, and in the process, mixed with several berserkers, ran forward on the bodies of their own kind, crushing a few corridors of flesh and blood.
"The walls can't stand the onslaught of the berserkers! Adventurers, gather fire for me to kill these disgusting monsters! City guards, bow and crossbow, shoot me those monsters! Use explosive arrows, burst bombs! ”
On the city wall, a big man wearing reddish-brown full compound armor and carrying a sword and shield on his back was tearing his voice to command, and at the same time, standing on the city wall, a large group of adventurers in different clothes raised their weapons, magic staffs, magic wands, longbows, and giant crossbows.
Then, all sorts of ranged attacks fell: Ice Arrows, Fireballs, Firebursts, Arcane Missiles, Acid Balls, Arcane Missiles, Frost Rockets, Ice Guns, Rock Blades, Wind Blades, Shadow Arrows, Lava Catapults, Lightning Arrows, Psychic Lashes, Soul Stabbs, Armor-Piercing Arrows, Explosive Arrows, ...... Countless attacks and rays of light instantly lit up the sky.
The first berserker didn't hold on for even a second, he was hit by countless attacks, and his incomparably strong body was instantly beaten into a skeleton, and then disappeared, and then the fire jumped to the next berserker, and when the berserker was all dead, all the attacks spread out, each attacking the trolls under the city walls.
In just ten minutes, a few kilometers outside the city walls were ploughed by the mad adventurers, and no creature survived the devastating attack.
"Stop, everyone! How's it going, Will? The commander stopped the adventurers' gossip, then turned to look at the archers on the turret who were guiding the Eagle Eye technique.
"They're gone! They're withdrawn! Anderson centurion, they retreated! The archer named Will interrupted the spell's guidance and shouted at the commander.
"Retreat? Not good! Spread out, everyone!! After a moment's pause, Anderson suddenly let out a burst of shouting.
"Boom!" As soon as the words fell, a huge stone fell on the city wall, and it happened to hit the place where the few magicians who had just released the wall of fire had just been released.
"Damn, don't stand in one place! Scattered! Find cover and protect yourself! Seeing that the fate of the Fire Wall Team was unknown, Anderson then shouted, "Treatment team, go see if those guys are dead!" ”
As if to express his sense of existence, the big stone on the city wall suddenly cracked, and there was a trace of red light exposed in the crack, and then "Boom! The explosion exploded, revealing the intact group of 4 people below, one of them spread his hands wide, supported a small red shield, and covered all 4 people inside, seeing the boulder shattering, the guy supporting the shield quickly withdrew the shield, and then the 4 people hid behind the bunker of the city wall in an instant.
At the same time, countless stout trees and huge stones rained down on the city wall, and after being smashed 4-5 times, large cracks appeared in the strong city wall.
"Brothers, the walls can't withstand this kind of attack! Let's cast spells together and combine shields! At this time, the mage who had previously cast the defensive fire shield noticed the condition of the city wall and said loudly.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
……
"Centurion! Are there any elemental crystals? Seeing Tiyì Tong Guò, the mage turned to Anderson and shouted.
"Yes! How big is it going to be? Seeing the current situation, Anderson also understood that there was no better choice, so he selectively ignored the issue of the other party overstepping his authority.
"Half a meter square will do!"
"Farley! You heard him, get ready! Anderson turned his head and shouted to one of the city guards who were hiding under a bunker with him, holding a giant crossbow.
"Yes! Sir! "Looking at the gap between the attacks, the city guards ran under the city wall, and after a while, they brought a large crystal and placed it in the center of the city wall.
Each system of magic has its own unique shield spells, however, it is generally not possible to stack together, but after the harmony of elemental crystals, it can be based on the shield spell slots of a designated series, and the increase in the amount of spells cast by guò makes it infinitely powerful.
Arcane Shield! A lilac shield appeared on the elemental crystal, and as the number of people infusing the crystal with mana increased, the arcane shield swelled up like a balloon, quickly covering the entire city wall.
The reason why this shield was chosen is because the Arcane shield can be arbitrarily thickened at the specified position according to the caster's idea.
This is very good for the defense of the stone, and it can save mana to the greatest extent. In places where the shield is not so thick, your own attacks can be played through the shield, and there will be no situation where you can't hit the shield once you open it
Under the protection of the shield, the most threatening stone throwing became useless. The ranged classes stayed on the walls and worked hard to kill the Berserkers, while the melee classes jumped off the walls to entertain the guests with their knives, swords, and shields!
The melee professionals under the walls were like meat grinders, and every troll that approached was split into pieces in a matter of seconds, and blue blood splattered all over the body. Soon, the fragments on the ground formed a breastwork, and the happy melee combatants who were killing crossed the breastwork and beckoned their blades towards the enemy.
Finally, after leaving behind the corpses on the ground, the trolls, who had suffered heavy casualties, finally retreated. In the face of the long-range melee city of Delane, these lost races who will only rush to the top are powerless to resist.
The war was won, in fact, it was not a war, at most it was a regional armed conflict, and the mercenary groups who assisted in defending the city came to the battlefield outside the city to check the spoils.
These trolls live in the Witchcraft Forest, and often carry herbs and ores from the Witchcraft Forest, or some precious animal skins, and adventurers have to dig through these valuable items from the corpses all over the ground.
"I mean, Liara has been gone for 3 days, right? We're done fighting here, why haven't we come back yet? "Outside the city of Delaneh, among a group of mercenary groups that are collecting loot, a group of girls in blue robes are particularly eye-catching, and it is the leader of them who speaks, the leader of the Blue Rose Mercenary Regiment, a senior adventurer, and a high-level berserker, Salina. Salina has a delicate face, very tall, close to one meter nine, but her figure is very good, and the thick full-covered heavy armor of the door panel can't stop the graceful figure, but the two giant axes with big wheels on her back are enough to deter a prodigal son. And Blue Rose is a mercenary group composed of all girls, although all of them are women, but their strength cannot be underestimated. After all, this world is based on strength, and a veteran is always more respected by people than a rookie.
"Don't worry, boss, Liara is a high-level hunter, at least it's okay to protect herself." It was a girl in black leather armor who spoke, except for the blue mercenary robe, the exposed leather armor was filled with a black mist all the time, and the whole person seemed to melt into the darkness.
"I hope so." Salina walked over and touched the girl's hair, "Hurry up and collect the loot, this place smells too bloody." ”
On the other side, Karel and the female archers were walking slowly against the walls.
Through a conversation, Karel learns that the archer's name is Liara, a member of the Blue Rose Mercenary Regiment, and that she has come to the city mainly to search for the remains of trolls buried in the Witch Forest.
However, the first search failed, and they fled to the wolf Bèi who was being chased by the troll army, and Liara was nearly buried in the forest to divert the pursuing troops, and now they urgently needed a strong foreign helper.
"By the way, you don't mean to pull me away, do you?" Seeing Liara staring at her, Karel was incredulous.
"Yes, if you will." Sensing Liara's seriousness, Karel also put away her playful mentality.
"Well, I'd be happy to go and gain knowledge, so take me to your leader."
