Chapter 107: Crisis (Medium)
Thank you for the generous reward of the three children's shoes of the resurrected Grim Reaper, thank you very much! Work hard to code words to report the care and attention of all book lovers! Keep kneeling and clicking! Collection! And recommended! ------------------ dividing line----------------- "Thor's second regiment is assigned to the second floor to garrison!" One regiment on the south side of the city wall, three regiments for me to the north side! All the thieves and rangers are prepared according to the crossbow machine drawn! Dagger! How many traps are completed? Lin Lei stood on the city wall, looked at the skeletons that had approached five kilometers away, and issued orders.
"I'm sorry President! Trap placement is less than 20% complete! The dagger lowered his head, most of the thieves had been pulled to adjust the crossbow machine during this time, and he didn't have much manpower, so he didn't have time to set traps.
"Forget it! Let your men wait to shoot on time! There are not many crossbow arrows, save me some use! Lin Lei also knew that these things couldn't be blamed on the dark dagger, because digging traps was very time-consuming.
And the bones are basically immune to traps like rope clips, and even the pit traps are just a place for them to climb in and out.
Only time-consuming and labor-intensive Rolling Stone Traps are useful, and they require huge stones to be polished and smoothed to the city walls.
Because of the manpower, no one polished the boulder at all, and Lin Lei also knew about this situation, so he didn't blame the dark dagger much.
He didn't have much hope for the trap in his heart, because according to the situation last time, those Bone Knights were at least fifth-order monsters.
A simple trap can't stop them at all, and even if they do, it's in vain.
Chen Kai stood on the second city wall, gently grasping the handle of the bed crossbow, ready to start winding the huge bed crossbow beside him.
The surrounding beds covered with rainproof cloths were constantly pulled apart, and the calibration direction was put into a state of readiness.
At Zhao Tiezhu's feet, a huge crossbow arrow was ready to be placed on top of the crossbow machine at any time, because the command platform of the entire castle had not yet been fully built.
With the use of spell scrolls, a castle can be built in a week, but it is impossible to perfect the castle in less than a month.
And to make the whole castle more perfect, it will take at least half a year.
But what Chen Kai lacks most is time, and those bones in Adogh City will not give Chen Kai time.
The bell of the lookout slowly stopped after ringing for a while, for the lookout knew that it was useless to ring the bell more, and that the person who should have notified it had already been informed.
The drawbridge behind the castle was pulled up by dozens of horses after the last player retreated into the castle, and those Thor members who were heading towards the castle were notified that they needed to be avoided urgently.
Most of them used the news to hide in the castles of other guilds, and a few chose to move on from a distance.
At least nearly an hour had passed from the time the lookout found the other party to the time the bone knights came into everyone's sight.
Chen Kai can calmly arrange the entire defense tools, and transfer those tools that can hide and non-combat professional players who don't need to join the battle to other places to continue construction.
Earth Elemental Mages are the most unpopular combat class, as there are a large number of walls waiting for them to reinforce, so Lin Lei didn't include them in the battle sequence at all.
The other casters are also busy applying simple defensive spells to various parts of the castle, so the caster class is arguably the least stressful group to fight.
"Click!" The Dark Knight in the lead gave the order to halt its advance three kilometers from the wall, and all the Skeleton Knight and Skeleton Warriors stopped the moment it raised its left hand.
Only the Dark Knight walked slowly forward for some distance.
"Would you like to give him a little color?" A thief beside Lin Lei operated a huge bed crossbow and asked his president.
"Don't waste crossbow arrows! It is simply impossible to hit at such a distance! Lin Lei shook his head and said, he knew very well that he had the courage to rush alone in front of the castle that was full of bed crossbows from a distance.
Either you are very confident in your own strength, or you are so stupid that you can't save it.
Lin Lei naturally hoped that the other party was the latter, but no matter how he looked at the other party, he was stupid enough to be stupid enough that the latter didn't touch at all.
The kind of command that stops all his men at the stroke of his hand, and the unusually neat array of cavalry and infantry are a very tricky enemy to look at.
"I hope the monster under this guy's hand won't be too strong!" Lin Lei prayed in his heart, he didn't think that the city wall more than twenty meters high could block those bones.
At the beginning, the height of the wall of the North Mountain Fort and the height of the mountain reached almost fifty meters, and it was not the same as not blocking those monsters.
Lin Lei was also glad that the other party did not have a flying force in his hands, at least Lin Lei and they did not have to worry about the attack from the sky.
"What a beautiful and familiar taste! It's been a long time since I've smelled such a strong popularity.
I was still asleep the last time the travelers arrived, and I didn't catch anything, so I'm going to have to enjoy it this time! The Dark Knight looked silently at the castle in front of him with two fiery eyes, breathing in the air with his nose, which had turned into a pile of rotten meat.
"Whew!" The Dark Knight suddenly raised his left hand, then swung it to the left.
All the Skeleton Knights quickly retreated with the infantry behind Guò, while the skeleton infantry strode forward behind the Dark Knights.
Then the five fingers of the Dark Knight's left hand were all opened, and the skeleton infantry behind them suddenly scattered, forming small formations in twos and threes.
"Kill! His Royal Highness Ness said that there will be no one left! The Dark Knight waved his left hand vigorously in the direction of the castle, and then more than 10,000 high-level skeleton soldiers with tens of thousands of low-level skeletons pressed towards Chen Kai and their castle.
Although they were all unusually scattered, the number of people standing on the city walls made everyone feel a little numb in their scalps.
"Damn! Boy! This momentum is even more powerful than the time when the Norse Fortress was there! Fei Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva towards the group of bones rushing towards him in the distance.
"Calibrate the arrow!!" Lin Lei gently announced, and then the word was spread continuously to all the crossbow machines in the two city walls.
"Ready to wind! Chief! Fei Yun said to Chen Kai, who was checking the situation, but in exchange for the silence of the other party.
After a long time, Chen Kai slowly withdrew his gaze and shook the stirring rod vigorously to stretch the bowstring.
Zhao Tiezhu put a crossbow bolt covered in red paint on the bed crossbow, and Fei Yun took a slight aim and directly pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!" A large red crossbow bolt was fired into the skull along with the one from the first wall, taking the life of an unlucky skeleton soldier.
"Free Fire !!" Lin Lei smiled bitterly after seeing the effect of the crossbow machine, and then gave this order.
He knew that the bones were too scattered to do much damage from the bolts.
Then dozens of bed crossbows on the city wall continued to make continuous sounds, and dozens of crossbow arrows were continuously fired from the city wall.
Looking at the experience acquisition prompt in the status bar, everyone's hearts are not hot but a little cold.
"Prepare to approach the !!!" Lin Lei on the city wall yelled at the team in the corridor below, and then took the lead in drawing his weapon and standing on the city wall.
A large number of players swarmed out of the corridors, densely packed with the entire northern city wall.
Looking at the very thin human wall, Lin Lei didn't have any idea about defending the castle, although the entire castle was designed with a large number of bones in mind.
But it didn't think about what would happen if the bones were scattered and attacked.
The dozens of crossbows were designed to destroy at least a thousand bones, but now two rounds of crossbow arrows have not killed even a hundred bones.
What Lin Lei could pray for now was that the bones would become a little denser as they approached the walls, so that the catapults and crossbows would have the effect they should.
As he prayed slowly, the skeletons on the opposite side had already crossed most of the distance and advanced around the city walls.
Lin Lei could clearly see the bones of the first few with muscular mouths, waving their rusted weapons and roaring at the people on the city walls.
"The distance is about 400 meters! Catapult launch!! "Launch!" More than a dozen catapults that had been prepared long ago on the city wall were quickly bounced up in the sound of ropes being cut.
More than a dozen huge stones were thrown directly from the city walls, knocking down dozens of bones in an instant.
The defenders of the walls were immediately greeted with cheers, as the skeletons began to increase in density as they got closer to the walls, and the role of the tools to defend the city was slowly becoming apparent.
However, the number of bones that poured under the walls far outnumbered and was destroyed, and thousands of bones broke through the blockade of bed crossbows and catapults to the bottom of the walls, and the number was slowly increasing over time.
"President! Use the Rolling Stone Trap! A guild Chen Kai looked at the dense skeleton soldiers on the city wall that was gradually approaching, and pointed to the huge cobblestone hidden in the high platform and said.
"Waiting! Everyone, pay attention to smashing those skeleton shelves with the piles of wood and stones on the side! Lin Lei grabbed the edge of the city wall and didn't agree to the vice leader's construction, but instead asked the melee players on the wall to throw stones and huge logs downward.
"Cut! A group of second-order trash fish actually came to build a castle! I really don't know whether to live or die! Following the group of bones running ahead, the Dark Knight and his Bone Knights slowly approached the city wall.
All the crossbow arrows that came at him were either cut into pieces by a few black fighting qi, or they didn't even know where they flew without even touching the edges.
"But this castle is well repaired! It's a pity that His Highness Ness doesn't allow any castle buildings to appear within thirty kilometers of Adog, otherwise this castle will remain as my own!" The Dark Knight quietly touched his skeleton and looked at the castle in front of him, saying that the arrows and stones that flew out were not much danger to him at all.
"Rolling Stones Ready !!" Lin Lei looked at the more and more skeletons under the city wall, and his heart was also a little impatient, especially since some bones had begun to use weapons to insert into the not very solid city wall, slowly climbing towards the city wall.
A pad to stop the rocks from sliding was slowly removed, and a large boulder over 6 meters in diameter began to slowly move downwards and gradually increase in speed.
"Boom!!" Like a roller coaster, the huge ball of stone suddenly appeared on the city wall and rushed towards the skeleton below.
After hitting the ground, he continued to roll forward for more than ten meters with the help of the momentum, and all the bones he touched were pressed close to the ground without exception.
"The defenses are well done! It's a pity that these don't work for me! The Dark Knight looked at the large round stone that was gradually coming to a halt and smiled contemptuously.
Several of the high-level skeletons that had been crushed shook their bodies, which were almost half shattered, and slowly struggled out of the ground towards the city walls.
"Huh? Do you still have the courage to send the Knights to charge? The Dark Knight watched as two huge drawbridges suddenly descended from the walls on either side, pressing directly down on the bones that rushed ahead.
Hundreds of horsemen were rushing down from the two drawbridges, leading a few on tall Andean horses and wearing temple armor.
Especially the knight on the left wearing a suit of star-dotted armor, the dark knight felt the aura of the god he hated the most from the other party.
"Could it be that he is a knight of divine grace?" The Dark Knight gently touched the crossed-out temple emblem on his chest, and looked at Chen Kai who led the rush down with an extremely hateful look.
Although Chen Kai didn't want to charge at the tens of thousands of skeletons, it was difficult not to charge at this time.
Because once those skeletons climb the city walls, it is difficult to defend against the attacks of the skeleton army by relying on those defenders on the walls.
In the end, it will definitely end up with a broken city, and rushing out with cavalry can at least reduce the pressure on the defense on the city wall.
In addition to the large knight regiment led by Chen Kai and Su Wan who charged down from the city wall, there were two knight regiments of five hundred people who were preparing behind.
However, the war horses of those knights are not high-level, so the main force of the impact is still Chen Kai who rushed down in the first round.
If they can't press the path, the low-level war horses behind them won't be able to rush through the skeleton army at all.
"Kill! For the glory of the Hansting Empire! After Chen Kai roared such a sentence, he led more than five hundred second-order knights to quickly rush towards the skeleton army under the city, and the war horses rumbled against the wooden suspension bridge.
Chen Kai was very worried about whether the entire suspension bridge would be crushed due to the speed and weight of the war horse, but the suspension bridge with a thickness of nearly half a meter and a weight of 20 tons obviously withstood the test.
Chen Kai and his nearly 1,000-strong knight regiment surged down from the city wall at an unusually high speed, relying on the powerful impact of the leading Andean war horse to tear two huge gaps directly in front of the skeleton army.
A steady stream of cavalry rode horses from the passage to join the storm, expanding the wounds of the entire army of bones by their numbers.
"The architectural design is very good! I don't know which master architect is writing it? "The Dark Knight doesn't care at all about being torn apart by the Knights of the Player, but is very concerned about the design of the road that can keep the knights going.
Chen Kai waved his spear against a skeleton and kept advancing, and as Lal moved forward, the speed of the war horse was constantly slowed down.
But Chen Kai believed that Lal would definitely be able to lead him through the army of bones, and only by rushing through here could the two of them survive.
Behind him were knights who had been thrown off their horses, or tripped over the bones along with the men and horses.
But there were still hundreds of knights following in the footsteps of the leading Andean knights, knowing that if they lost the impact of these leading horses, they would not be able to rush through the army of skeletons.
Whether or not they can escape back to the castle is a question.
"Boom!" When the last cavalry stepped across the drawbridge and followed the front team into the army of bones, according to the pre-setting, the two huge drawbridges were directly cut ropes and smashed to the ground.
The skeletons huddled underneath were crushed directly under the huge wooden suspension bridge, and the rope that allowed the bones to climb up was also cut the moment the suspension bridge fell.
"Huh? This commander was ruthless enough to cut off the back of more than two thousand knights after they rushed out of the city! The Dark Knight glanced thoughtfully at the position on the wall, then slowly drew his weapon.
"Since your commander has abandoned you, let me send you back to the arms of Antolo, the king of Hades!" As he spoke, it swung its weapon at Chen Kai and them, and led three hundred bone knights towards Chen Kai and them.
"Come on! Ral, you're going to get out right away! Come on! Chen Kai patted Ral's head in distress, he was holding a broken wooden cavalry gun in his hand, and there was a skeleton soldier on top of it.
Behind him, there were less than 1,500 knights combined, which was still the number of the two knights combined.
Relying on the huge number of knights, Chen Kai and the others finally tore apart the skeleton soldiers huddled together and rushed to the sparse area behind.
But in this position, everyone still did not breathe a sigh of relief, and the skeleton soldiers were still rushing towards the knights with their thin legs.
From a short distance away, an unusually neat horse's hooves rushed towards Chen Kai and them on solid ground.
The bones that were originally in front of Chen Kai seemed to be pushed by an invisible arm, and they were directly separated from the middle.
Through the blindfold of the helmet, Chen Kai could see the black aura that was constantly tumbling on the bones of the skeleton knights, as if a mass of unjust souls were wrapped around the white bones and those old armor.
A few hundred meters away, Chen Kai felt a suffocating terrifying aura coming towards his pavement, Chen Kai felt that Ral's footsteps were suddenly a little flustered, and some low-level war horses behind him actually softened directly.
"God forbid!" Chen Kai took the new riding gun in his hand, and then gently activated the holy emblem on his belt.
A cloud of white light slowly covered Chen Kai's whole body, dispelling those uncomfortable terrifying aura.
"God says that fear is caused by the loss of hope, and that with hope is fearless!" A faint hint of gold emerged from Chen Kai's riding spear, and Chen Kai swung the riding spear towards several knights beside him.
After the light of the Firm Word enveloped them, it dispelled some of the entanglement aura on their bodies, but that was all Chen Kai could do.
There was nothing he could do to help the knights behind him, because more than three hundred skeleton knights were riding dead horses and rushing towards them.
