024 Siege!
Ibra and Xana boarded the flagship, the only Tier C war airship of the Tataglia Expeditionary Force. For Tartaglia, whose magical power and economic conditions are relatively weak, it is not easy to obtain a war airship from the monopoly of the Bracada Warlock Dynasty. Even the great King of Tartaglia only owned an A-tier war airship, which is said to be a congratulatory gift from Magnus, the immortal king of the Tatarian dynasty for a thousand years.
In addition to the forty elites of the Ice Hydra Clan who guarded the holy relics, the other Hydras poured out of their nests, carried a large Gabrin airship, and rushed towards Naga Island, and the journey of more than thirty kilometers took almost less than half an hour to arrive.
Looking at the small island below with a radius of only a few dozen kilometers and the surrounding frozen sea, Ibra activated the communication magic array on the airship, and commanded loudly: "Listen to all, the lizardmen, earth hydra, and bipedal wyvern will surround the island for me, the dragonfly troops are responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance in the air, and the lizardman mage, catapult troops, petrified lizards, brute bulls, and sea ice hydras will attack from the front with this commander!" ”
Seeing that his own people were used by him as the main attack force, although Xia Na was unhappy in her heart, she still received the order. Looking at the dozens of large catapult and crossbow turrets that stood behind the ten-meter-high wall in the center of the island, Ibra frowned and parked his beloved flagship behind him, leading a large force to attack the city gate on the east side.
"Catapult, salvo!" Upon reaching range of the catapults, Ibra swung his sword, and dozens of catapults smashed the flaming fireballs into the thick walls and turrets. The Naga turret on the island also began to return fire, unlike the well-equipped Tatalia Expeditionary Force, the Naga catapult threw only some heavy large stones, and the ballista turret was even worse, shooting at the sun-dried swordfish!
Ibra pointed to the dried fish that fell not far in front of him and laughed, "Patriarch Xana, you can't even win against Naga with such poor equipment, isn't it too useless?" ”
Xia Na smiled bitterly: "The cunning Naga smeared a strong anesthetic on the tip of the dried fish, once the skin is punctured, there will be paralysis for about a minute, many of our clansmen suffered this loss when attacking the city, not to mention that although the dried swordfish is small, it is easy to obtain materials and simple to make, and it is a 'crossbow arrow' commonly used by coastal forces." ”
Ibra walked over and looked down, sure enough, there was a small section of the front end of the dried swordfish that was dyed pale black, faintly emitting a pungent smell, he picked up the swordfish and tested the hardness, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pick slightly, and said disdainfully: "If they want to repel me with this little means, it's a dream!" The mage troop is magically suppressed, and I have ordered the Earth Hydra to be transferred! ”
Ibra, who had not been defeated in the north and south for decades, had no intention of letting the army advance, but leisurely performed an eagle eye to admire the Nagas who were panicking and dodging the flint bullets in the city walls. It didn't take long for the Lizardmen Mage to join the siege, with magic arrows, thunderbolt ice, and ice rings focusing on the slingering turrets and crossbow turrets.
The lizardman mage was already good at water magic, and the cold and water vapor bonuses received near the island made the power of these magic greatly increased, and after a few rounds of shooting, more than a dozen Naga's turrets were destroyed by magic, and the Naga who controlled the turrets were also seriously injured.
In just over an hour, almost all the catapult and crossbow turrets that Naga relied on to defend the city were destroyed, and the eastern wall was smashed and full of cracks.
Phew~Bah~ A Naga wearing shell armor spit out the sand that jumped into his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Great Elder, the guy on the other side is too despicable, the siege troops don't move at all, they know that if they use catapults to smash them, our city walls will be smashed alive if they go on like this, so let me lead the death squad to rush up!" ”
The Great Elder frowned, stretched out one arm to draw the shape of the island on the ground, and the other arm drew dozens of small circles around the island, and said in a deep voice: "Derby, the new commander on the other side is much more clever than the little guy in Xana, and he will surround us and not fight, just eat away at the defense measures on the periphery of the town step by step, just to force us to take the initiative to attack, believe it or not, once we go out of the city to attack, those bipedal dragons on the periphery will definitely rush into the city as soon as possible!" ”
"It's not a way for us to be beaten like this!" Derby said anxiously.
The corners of the Great Elder's mouth grinned, and he sneered, "They have magicians, don't we have them?" Let them be arrogant, and soon they will receive a surprise! As he spoke, he took out a long cylinder from his bosom and injected it with magical energy, and a beam of blood-red light rose into the sky!
The moment the light rushed into the sky, the dozens of eight-armed mages sitting cross-legged on the Naga altar suddenly opened their eyes, pressed all eight arms to the ground of the altar, and frantically injected the magical energy of their whole bodies into it. The lines on the ground lit up one after another, and the blinding light enveloped the altar entirely. The Naga mages then pulled a hand from the ground and slammed it on their chests, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The light on the altar changed from a simple silver-white color to a fusion of red and white, and everyone shouted in unison, "Blood revenge!" ”
Immediately after that, a huge pillar of mixed color light rose into the sky, the Great Elder's eyes flashed, and his mouth quickly chanted a spell, all seven hands drew mysterious trajectories, and the last hand waved violently in the direction of the catapult, and the pillar of light in the sky seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, crossing a graceful arc and heading straight to the east.
Seeing the vision in the sky, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into Ibra's heart, and he shouted: "Hurry up and retreat!" The body then soared into the air, revealing its true body, a dark black bipedal wyvern with a body length of more than fifteen meters, flapping its wings and quickly fleeing into the distance. Xia Na didn't dare to hesitate, tore open the space-time portal scroll in her hand, and rushed into the open portal.
The moment she stepped in, a huge pillar of light had already reached the top of the portal, and it shattered into balls of light, smashing into the ground like meteors! Ibra, who had escaped, happened to see this scene and shouted, "The stars are falling!! (Falling Stars: A large-scale forbidden spell in the air system, summoning meteors to attack ground targets, similar to the fourth-order magic meteor fire rain of the earth system, but with a larger attack power and attack range.)
The rumbling sound sounded one after another, and the balls of light exploded one after another in the catapult and the lizardman magician, as well as in the camp that had not had time to escape, and the power of the ball of light was much weaker than Ibra had imagined, except for some unlucky people who were directly hit on the head by the ball of light or the big werewolf who controlled the catapult was directly killed, the other troops were only slightly injured.
Ibra let out a long breath and whispered, "Damn, I'm scared to death, it turned out to be a bluffing thing..."
