Sure enough, as the Count of Bolim had guessed, His Majesty the current King of the Kingdom of Norhan seemed intent on intensifying his attack while the Lucian army was wavering and destroying it in one fell swoop—at the very least, completely crippling it, so as to lay the groundwork for the next full-scale attack. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Otherwise, if you leave such a group of Lucia troops who can directly compete with you, you are undoubtedly planting a big mine in your rear that will bring hidden dangers at any time. Tone: Wait until they reply and then send someone to monitor and contain, it is better to solve the problem at the root now.

Of course, although there is already a very serious morale problem on the Lucia side, the army of the Norhan Kingdom also needs time to adjust. to completely remove the shadow of that unexpected failure. The two sides seem to be competing for each other's resilience right now, but from this point of view, Lucia really doesn't have the advantage at all.

With supplies from the rear in place, the Nohan army began to move at high speed like a sophisticated machine. In the early morning the army rose from camp and then rushed beyond Lucia's camp at a speed close to a rapid march.

Facing the flags waving in the wind outside the camp, those Lucia officers managed to suppress the commotion of the soldiers below. At this time, they could only hide behind the wooden wall that had only been repaired and looked pitted, and they were not able to take the initiative to go out of the camp to fight in the field on the side of Norhan.

It was with this convenience that the Norhan army soon built a series of stone throwers outside the camp. In the face of the erected elevated shelves, the Lucians could only stare dryly from within the ground. Not to mention that they didn't dare to take the initiative - the only knights who were still able to move were also entangled by the knights of Nohan at the moment, and you came and went between the clouds.

Immediately after that, under the shouting and the operation of ropes and pulleys, countless munitions were thrown into the air at great heights. The munitions easily crossed the wall and landed in the camp like a deadly torrential rain. Many of the munitions have a unique technology that causes the explosive oil wrapped in them to explode into a cloud of flames in mid-air and sprinkle them on the ground.

Soon, the camp was in flames, but the commanders didn't have the manpower to put out the fires that were burning everywhere. Because he knew there would be a second wave of attacks to come. It was specially prepared for the people who went to fight the fire.

However, all the casters were ready to disarm their spells, intending to counter the possible 'rain of fire' at any time, apparently frightened by the disaster of last night.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a second, less dangerous rain of bullets to fall. These things fell on the streets of the camp and on the tents everywhere. These round stone projectiles smashed through the roof of the shed, allowing the flames that had been able to burn on their own because of the effective fire prevention measures to find new combustibles. All of a sudden, there was a lot of fire.

The oil in the game is mainly derived from animal and plant fats. Although mineral oil burns more rapidly, the difficulty of mining and extracting it makes it less cost-effective than animal and vegetable oil catalyzed by alchemy, so it has never been considered the mainstream on the battlefield. However, even animal and vegetable oils are not cheap in terms of the social structure of the western continent. Coupled with the fact that the safety cost of fuel transportation is not low, the price of each incendiary bomb is quite expensive.

Therefore, the use of incendiary bombs to attack is a very luxurious thing even in the eyes of the Norhan Kingdom. In contrast, smooth-polished stone bullets are a very cheap weapon, and yes, they are not a substitute, because stone bullets are more effective than incendiary bullets against certain enemies.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Several loud noises were heard in the camp, accompanied by bursts of dust that were stirred up into the sky. It was a collision between a stone projectile traveling at a speed of more than 100 meters per second and various facilities in the camp. Although it is possible for Norhan to take the initiative to attack, he intends to cause chaos in Luciain and demoralize him in this way.

One of the high-speed tumbling stone bullets smashed into the semi-recessed stables of the west wall like shit - the stable that had escaped the fire of that night suffered a tremendous impact. More directly, the neck of a war horse was violently broken. The war horse that fell to the ground didn't even have a chance to let out a wail, and what was displayed in front of the eyes of the world was most of the body drenched in blood.

But the stone bullet's mission didn't seem to be over yet, and after a close encounter with the hay-covered ground, it bounced up again with a slight slowdown and fought to the death with the wooden wall behind it. The burst of splinters of wood hit the already panicked horses, adding to their fear.

The sound of the horses was incessant. Frightened, they smashed the guardrail in the stable and rushed out. Although there is a lot of open space in the camp, it is not a suitable pasture for these horses to gallop. Under their rampage, there was immediately a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.

"Phew! Sigh! The horses were accompanied by a lasso of hulala, and the cavalrymen who had no place to use it were taking on their beloved mounts with their own tricks. Judging from the chaos and casualties caused by these horses in the camp, it seems that they surpassed the direct attack of the catapults.

After about 5 minutes, the cavalry's efforts finally paid off. The warrior who managed to transfer the horses to another spare stable confided in himself: "I said that this should have been accompanied by a druid who can calm the animals!" Otherwise, it will be too difficult for us to deal with its crazy war horses. ”

"What's the use of you complaining to me? You have to talk to the old men above. ”

And not long after these riders put their horses back in the stables, the next blow from Nohan's side came. Don't think that such a blow is slow, after all, this kind of gravity-changing machine is not the reciprocating steam engine of the Industrial Revolution, which can do several rounds of work in one second.

The Heavy Catapult can be fired again at an interval of only 3-4 minutes, although this is not the only one in the Western Continent that can be said to be a scorpion, but it is also a very high level of cooperation.

The repositioning of the kind of breeding catapult used in the kingdom of Nohan alone required the joint efforts of at least 10 professional soldiers. In addition, temporary piling and ammunition loading work.

This time, even for a skilled hand who has been trained for a long time, it will take a lot of time to complete the full set of launch preparations. If you still want to adjust the trajectory and range of the launch, then the time to calculate and adjust the counterweight at the end of the hammer may be more than normal launch preparation!

With the advantage of range brought by the superb siege equipment, the heavy catapults of the Norhan Kingdom overwhelmed the Lucian defenders in the camp.

"Looks like our king is planning to stone the Lucia inside!" The soldier next to Barrett sighed as he looked at Ru's stone bullet.

Hearing this, Barrett shook his head: "At most two more rounds, the ropes of these catapults must be replaced, and the stressed parts must also be checked and repaired." They stop working until these jobs are done. ”

In addition to the problem of the gunstone machine itself, the amount of ammunition is also an important constraint on these equipment. You must know that this is an endless Uriel grassland, and it takes time to collect even ordinary stones, let alone polished stone bullets. Although Barrett was not involved in logistics management, he could see the clues from the traces of the convoy alone.

Sure enough, after a few rounds of stone bullet rain, the booms of the stone throwers began to be unweighted, and their work for the day seemed to be over. At this moment, Lucia's camp was a mess, and even the buildings that had escaped the fire two days ago were now in ruins.

It is a pity that this time the operation took place during the day, and the movement of the whole army was definitely not small. So much so that the Lucia camp was already ready to deal with it, which made them more prepared for spell countermeasures. Although the spellcasters belonging to the Norhan side tried several times, any spell that flew into Lucia's camp was successfully countered by those Lucians. So soon the Norhan side abandoned this futile means.

However, the fact that the catapult stopped working does not mean that today's war is over. On the contrary, this was just the beginning, and after throwing two dozen of oil and stones, the morale of the army in Lucia's camp had already been greatly affected. So much so that their military judges were holding a collection of pre-war prayers and speaking loudly in front of the soldiers.

The Pre-War Prayer Book is a leather-edged pamphlet with pages of fine vellum and contains many pre-war prayers. As long as the user has Charisma of 13 or higher, or at least has invested at least 1 skill point in performing a branch speech, he will be able to chant the prayer in the book between battles to encourage others.

Of course, it takes 10 minutes to read the prayer in order to have this effect. Anyone who hears this prayer will be exempted from the test and gain a +2 morale bonus the next time they try to fight fear. The only restriction is that the exemption test must be triggered within the next 24 hours for it to take effect.

To put it bluntly, this kind of speech is based on the situation system with the help of props, which helps those Lucia soldiers to stabilize their emotions. In the past, they were often the work of naval priests, but now the kingdom of Lucia can only have military judges with troubadours in charge of this work.

But before their speeches could be completed, the attack on the part of Norhan was launched. Although the knights were still in mid-air and did not decide the winner, the Norhan Kingdom, which had enough black lead level powerful kitchen knives, still chose to launch a strong attack. And Barrett, who had participated in the night attack, was naturally assigned to the assault mission this time.

With the sound of war drums around him, with Barrett's sharp knives as arrows, the ground offensive of the Norhan Kingdom was officially launched. Under the influence of the leading charge, both Barrett and the aboriginal soldiers who followed him closely behind him were extremely impacted.

And Barrett's momentum when charging changes with every step he takes. With a distance of less than 100 meters, this tall man feels like a mountain.

'Bang! With this loud bang, a huge gap appeared in the wall outside Lucia's camp as if it had been run over by a bulldozer. Although Barrett's current specialization has shifted to 'Steel Soul' and 'Iron Heart' and has entered the regular stage, the foundation laid during the Red Iron Rank period has also risen with the improvement of his strength. Even a sharp weapon like the 'Broken Blade' can achieve the effect of a sledgehammer with a heavy lift, shattering the wooden wall into pieces.

As Barrett entered the camp without stopping, the Norhan soldiers who followed him also penetrated through the huge breach, causing a series of commotions in the camp for the Lucian army, which had not yet fully recovered. What's more, Barrett wasn't the only one in the kingdom of Norhan who had the ability to make holes in the wooden walls. As more and more Nohan soldiers appeared, so did the commotion among the Lucian soldiers.

In the face of such a crisis, the nobles of the Lucia Kingdom finally unveiled the first hole card in their hands. As a black pearl the size of a basketball was shattered, a tidal wave of ghosts poured out of it. Ignoring the Lucians, who were relatively close, the ghosts charged toward the Nohan army.

Seeing this, Commander Norhan immediately shouted: "The archer phalanx is sanctified with weapon oil." ”

Sanctified weapons oil is sesame oil that is planted purple and served in small clay pots. When the user applies this oil to a weapon, it forms a clear coating on the weapon's surface. Weapons coated with this oil deal 2-4 additional damage to undead or evil otherworldly creatures. Creatures affected by the oil must perform a reflex immunity that is not hard to do, or they will take 1-4 bonus damage the next turn.

Any non-magical weapon that is smeared with the scent oil can affect the Void Undead and evil Otherworldly creatures in the same way as a magic weapon. Any magic weapon smeared with the oil can affect the Void, the Undead, or the Evil Otherworldly in the same way as a weapon with Nether's special abilities. The effect of the oil lasts until the weapon performs a successful attack or until 1 minute has elapsed, whichever occurs first. Usually one dose of sesame oil can be applied to 1 weapon or 10 ammo.

Although there is a duration interruption, there will be problems such as being able to spill two after a blow, but the alchemy oil of this holy weapon is quite cheap, and usually a dose of sesame oil is only about 30 gold coins. A melee weapon that is used more often may not be as good as a traditional spell oil, but it is perfect for ammo that has almost only one chance to be used. (To be continued.) )
