Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In High Rock City, the flames soared into the sky, dyeing most of the sky red. The city was filled with the shouts of orcs and the screams of humans, as well as the howling winter wind, all intertwined into a mournful funeral song, as if a pair of eyes were watching the death of this great city.
But this city of heroes and warriors, which has survived thousands of years of war, has reached the point of dying under the ravages of orcs, but its heart, the Red Rock Fortress, is still beating tenaciously.
Unlike other chaotic and noisy places in the city, the human defense line in front of the fortress was silent at this time.
The Black Titan was like a statue that had weathered the weather, motionless, just staring coldly at the burning and crumbling building in the flames. The Red Stone Legion's foot knights, lined up in a strict array of guns behind the chain net, held the spears in their hands without saying a word, and only the military flags that hunted in the wind seemed to be playing a unique war song, telling the determination and hope in the hearts of these soldiers.
As the night deepened, the moisture condensed into a thin mist on the bright armor, reflecting a psychedelic glimmer under the light of the dancing torches.
The sharp tips of the guns are neatly aligned and aimed straight ahead. There were crystal dew drops hanging from the head of the gun, cold as ice.
Soon, though, the clear, cold dew would turn into hot and muddy orc blood.
Smack...... Smack......
The sound of footsteps came from the end of the long dark street, from far to near, from blurry to clear, from sparse to dense.
Count Reinnarin wiped a handful of condensed droplets from his bald head, and his voice was deep: "It's here." ”
In the early years, the corps commander developed a fiery and irascible personality because of his unsatisfactory career, and every time he went to battle, he would lead his subordinates to rush and fight. to vent the depression in my heart. But later, after following the Grand Duke, time and experience accumulated and filtered his original impetuous heart, and finally became calm and restrained.
The Redstone Legion also has the same traits as their commanders. If you use a phrase in Sun Tzu's Art of War, it is "immobile as a mountain".
Those children of nobles who received military training since childhood, whose goal in life was to fight, kill enemies, and make achievements, after entering the Redstone Legion and being trained by Count Reinarein, they shed their pride and arrogance, and became a true warrior with strict discipline. In other legions. The aristocratic knights have always been repeatedly forbidden to attack without permission for the sake of merit. But in the Redstone Legion, not only has such a thing never happened, but even the proud knights are willing to abandon their beloved horses and form a spear formation to fight on foot.
A nobleman with a war horse and a full suit of armor, and a few or even dozens of servants who joined the army. Willing to serve as an infantryman, with civilians and even slaves? This is fantastical elsewhere, but in the Redstone Legion, it's common sense.
God knows how Count Reynarin trained his arrogant knights to be obedient.
The human army, which had been waiting for the enemy, had finally arrived.
The end of the long dark street was suddenly lit up by torches, and then a large group of orc warriors with green skin stained with red blood poured out.
They were the first to break through the inner gates. Each one is equipped with full-body plate armor crafted with human craftsmanship.
"Those damned traitors, mercenary maggots!" Count Reinnarin cursed.
If it weren't for the human traitors who provided the enemy with these sophisticated weapons and equipment, the battle would have been much easier, and a few more of his boys would have lived to see the sun tomorrow morning.
The tallest and strongest of the orcs, with a long pole on his back and five human heads, was the first to see the human army guarding the gates of the fortress.
The long pole behind it was a status symbol for the tundra orcs. Only a tribal chief can carry such a long pole on his back in battle. And the higher the status, the greater the power, and the more long poles on the back. Uglu. Iron Claws can carry five long rods on their backs. to show its strongest and most noble status.
Count Reinarin, who had dealt with the tundra orcs a lot, saw this conspicuous guy and immediately gave orders to the archers who were on standby in the fortress.
A rain of arrows came as promised, and the "poof" sound of sharp objects entering the flesh, even if it was far away, came from the orc ranks. Into the human ear.
Hiding on the second floor of the fortress, Durina was secretly observing from a shooting hole, hearing this terrible sound, and then seeing the red blood flowers blooming in the green skin, he couldn't help but tremble. He really wanted to use up the magic items in his hand immediately and run away. But the thought of Gordon's request dispelled the idea again.
"Calm down, calm down...... Dulina, think about it, at what critical moment you should use this thing. The apprentice squeezed the metal plate in his hand encrusted with expensive gems and took a deep breath.
"That's right! Shaman! In Ferredon's army, field mages are the most precious resource, so among the orcs whose casters make up a sparse proportion of the population, those shamans must be even more valuable......"
As soon as Dulina had finalized his thoughts, he saw that after resisting the rain of arrows, the orc warriors who had lowered their shields suddenly sang a simple but rugged and majestic battle song. An elderly shaman, hunched on his back, approached from the back of the procession.
He looked frenzied, jumping and jumping, and the wooden staff in his hand skulls strung like grapes waved continuously, casting a puff of red smoke.
The orc warriors' chests heaved and they looked greedy and gulped in smoke like addicts. The effect was soon apparent, and the orc warrior's bare arms actually swelled in a circle, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was even lower, as if an explosive force was brewing in his body and was about to be released.
"City Lord, the enemy has shaman reinforcements, and our warriors rely on you." The Captain of the Redstone Legion vs. Resso, Lord of High Rock. Count Lrecdo said. The bald Earl Reinaline was disappointed that the rain of arrows had not been able to kill the enemy's leader, and he could only hope that his young man would be able to wield it better in the next battle.
Reso. Although Luo Leduo is in the high position of the lord of High Rock City, it is not his own great strength that gives him what he has achieved now - he is just a mage who can use the three-ring spell, plus a fourth-level warrior with rudimentary swordsmanship. Familiarity with government affairs, the allocation of materials and the use of manpower are his specialties.
But now in the Red Rock Fortress, most of the mages are gathered on the rooftop. Control the guidance array, so it can only be overused, and let the city lord make a cameo appearance as a battlefield mage.
Reso. Roldedo also brought with him two followers with the magic skills of the second ring, although the spell support they can provide is very limited, it is better than nothing.
An orc chief who has blessed the power of the shaman's spirit. The fighting spirit in my heart is even stronger. He led his tribe's boys to break through the inner walls, leaving the others far behind, and arrived in front of the Red Rock Fortress first. The battle went extremely smoothly, and the enemy was vulnerable, so that the orc chieftain did not pay attention to the enemy who was waiting in front of him. He only wanted to be the first to attack the Red Rock Fortress and use this great merit to the war warlords. Seek more benefits for your own tribe.
He was so eager that he ignored not only the spear in the distance, but also the huge figure in the night.
The orc warriors, led by the chieftain, shouted wildly, galloped, and waved their weapons in their hands. They look forward to a battle with the last of the elite warriors of humanity. Then, in the baptism of blood and war, end the war and obtain the highest glory.
But the reality is harsh.
They simply didn't have a chance to fight the guns. As they approached the fortress gate, the orc warriors suddenly heard a loud metal rumble overhead. Someone stopped and looked up, and now there was a huge black shadow that had been hidden in the night, thinking it was a rock sculpture. Suddenly there was movement.
Large objects fell from the sky with a whistling sound from the air, turning the faces of the charging orc warriors from frenzy to fear.
The Black Titan slammed two massive hammers into the long street, a loud roar drowned out the sore sound of flesh and bones and metal armor being squeezed rapidly.
When the Black Titan retracted the war hammer, two neat circular openings appeared in the orc formation that charged in a dense formation.
"Vomit ......" Dulina couldn't help but twitch his stomach and vomit when he saw the thick layer of red and green sticky on the war hammer. Unfortunately, because of the war, he had not eaten for five hours, and his stomach was empty. All that came out was sour water.
He couldn't help but think of his mother's cooking process when the dragon god blessed the Japanese zuò pie and used a small mallet to beat the minced meat to make it soft and juicy.
"After witnessing this scene, I am afraid that I will never dare to eat my mother's meat pie again...... Dragon God above, bless your poor believer after this bloody war. Don't leave a shadow, you can still eat. ”
Unlike Dulina, a rookie who was still entangled in the bloody scenes on the battlefield, the battle-hardened Earl Reinaline was very excited at this time and was impressed by the great power of the Black Titan.
"With the help of such a powerful weapon, we will be able to win!"
Gordon, thousands of kilometers away in the sky, controls the Black Titan and continues to ruthlessly slaughter the attacking orcs. This time, the Iron Giant changed his ways, flattened the hammer and swept straight through.
After the attack area was expanded, the casualties of the orcs also increased dramatically.
Countless orcs were swept by the hammer and flew sideways, crashing into the buildings on either side, their heads bleeding and turning into puddles of flesh.
After paying at least three hundred, including the chieftain, the first orc attacking force to reach the Red Rock Fortress fled.
Repelling the first wave of attacks so easily doesn't make humanity relax. Because as the follow-up forces continue to follow, more orc soldiers will soon appear......
Gordon monitored his surroundings and cautiously advanced as he gave orders to his golem to kill orcs and protect the fortress.
This state of single-mindedness is extremely energy-consuming, but at this moment, he can only choose to persevere.
His keen sense of hearing allowed Gordon to pick up footsteps coming from overhead, underfoot, and around him. He knew that the Three Holy Baptists were rapidly mobilizing their men to surround and intercept him.
He told himself that he had to speed up.
If it is an ordinary person, the first time you enter this floating fortress like a huge labyrinth, you will definitely be blinded immediately, and you will not be able to find your way for a while. However, Gordon had entered the flying warships of the Magic Empire of Netherduran in the ruins of Danze, and had some knowledge of the internal layout.
Although the Three Holy Baptists underwent extensive modifications, the ship's infrastructure remained unchanged.
"The power cabin, the weapons room, and the control room have a large number of magical devices, and the magic fluctuations emitted are numerous and complex, so they are definitely not an ideal place to place the conduction devices. There are only warehouses on the ground floor where ordinary supplies are stored. Most suitable. ”
Gordon quickly settled on his destination.
He knew that he was about the middle deck of a flying battleship, and that he was still a long way from his destination. However, he didn't plan to get to his destination honestly.
If there is no shortcut, make a shortcut.
The floor underfoot is made of high-quality hardwood and has undergone several strengthening processes, and the protection is no less than that of an iron plate, even if it is a knife and an axe. It also takes a lot of effort to destroy. However, since it is wood, flame is its biggest weakness, even after fireproof treatment.
Gordon chanted a spell, and two flames shot out from his palm. He controlled the two flames, which were made of the two-ring sculpting spell "Scorching Ray", and drew a circle on the floor that was large enough for one person to pass through guò.
The heat of the flame licked the floor, quickly carbonizing it. Become vulnerable.
Immediately after, Gordon pushed with his palm and cast a force field wave on the ground. An invisible shock wave as fierce as a wave of the ocean immediately blasted the circle drawn on the floor open. A downward passage appeared in front of Gordon.
These two low-level spells were learned by Gordon after he returned to Blue Water City from the Cold Mist Mountains. Although he is now a five-ring mage, for a mage, it is not only necessary to pursue the depth of spells. It is more important to pursue the breadth of spells. Master as many spells as you can to cope with a wide variety of situations.
Therefore, Gordon did not intend to specialize in one school at the cost of giving up the spells of two schools of magic, as many mages do. After all, he has the assistance of the system, and being a universal mage of the whole school is the king.
The cultists who are searching layer by layer are definitely not as good as Gordon. The mage soon reached the lowest level of the floating fortress.
He continued to speed up his pace, finally reaching his destination.
See the mountains of barrels and crates around you. Gordon finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wood, iron plates, ropes, nails, bolts, and other materials that are heavy and easy to preserve are stored here.
Just like a ship at sea, a floating fortress flying in the air has counterweight considerations, and the center of gravity must be kept as low as possible. Otherwise, if you encounter a strong wind in the air and roll at a large angle because the center of gravity is too high, it will be troublesome.
Gordon took out a disc made of Mithril from the dimensional pouch, the surface of which was a regular pentagonal shape drawn from a golden source line, with a zircon inlaid in each corner. He chose a spacious spot, placed the disc on the ground, and opened his mouth to recite a short incantation.
The disc snapped and clung to the floor like a suction cup.
After fixing the guide. Gordon was about to activate it when he noticed an unusual noise behind him.
He turned around and saw that three six-pointed star arrays appeared out of thin air, and the red light was flourishing.
This kind of portal to summon demons, Gordon has not only seen many times in magic books. I have also encountered it many times in actual combat, and of course I am not unfamiliar with it.
He immediately blessed himself with various defensive spells, especially to protect himself from fire energy. If he encounters an abyssal creature that can cast spells, Gordon will most likely face the attack of fire spells, and if he prepares early, he will be able to take advantage.
At the same time, Gordon also pinched the time to prepare an anti-chaos magic circle.
This Three-Ring Protection school spell is designed to target creatures from a specific faction, and is very useful in trapping creatures from a specific faction and preventing them from melee attacks.
Many mages will prepare this spell in advance when they summon demons and other creatures that are easy to get out of control and devour the summoner's creatures.
Gordon had seen a lot of this kind of portal in front of him, which was characterized by a six-pointed star array and a burning flame, in "Ancient Era", and he knew that it would take five points and seven seconds for this kind of portal to be opened and teleported. Therefore, the traverser mage controlled the spell casting, and released the spell very accurately when the first monster with a fiery red body and horns on its head rushed out of the portal.
Strange-looking, I don't know what kind of abyssal creature roared and rushed towards Gordon, but was suddenly stopped by the transparent and invisible magic circle.
It was trapped in the anti-chaos circle along with its fellow people who came out of the portal in the next 6 times, and could only grin in vain and roar.
"It is estimated that it is a hybrid abyss creature created with the technology of the demon lord Azulu." Gordon glanced at the creatures and was about to take them all away, when he suddenly felt a strong wave of arcane energy coming from overhead.
A fireball with an aura of evil chaos appeared out of thin air and smashed towards Gordon from overhead. Immediately after, a man wearing a red and black mage robe appeared at the place where the fireball fireballed.
First use two otherworldly summoning doors to attract Gordon's attention, then use stealth and levitation to get close to Gordon, and then use spells to sneak attack from the most difficult angle to defend.
This cult mage must have had a lot of experience in actual combat to be able to come up with such a near-perfect plan.
But there was one thing he didn't take into account, and that was Gordon's extraordinary spell resistance.
Wearing a salamander cloak with high flame resistance, and blessed with the spell of protecting against fire energy damage, plus the magic resistance ability obtained from that Chimera in the dungeon before, Gordon only felt painless after taking this spell attack.
"Funny......" Charamo sneered, lifted the levitation technique, and landed on the ground, confronting Gordon from afar.
In Hattington died Robb. After Antelo's spell, the deputy of the second seat of the Twelve Stone Seats is now the strongest and commander-in-chief of the Three Holy Baptists side of the floating fortress.
