I'm the dividing line without discipline.
For Lord Arzari, the lord of Northlake, tonight was destined to be the most fearful and painful day of his life, and the walls of Northlake, which had been built for thousands of years, smelled of burnt fire in the firelight. It was the result of the corpses on the walls being scorched by the flames, and the traps under the walls had long since been filled with dirt.
When there were two ** divisions among the drow elves, everyone knew that it would be difficult to defend the city. Although because of the town of Burkna, which is also Chen Kai's gem abyss, the lords of the entire Huge land have the ability to buy spell gems to attract spellcasters. In particular, the town of Northlake, where Lord Arzari is located, has excellent access by water, making it a favorite place for adventurers and spellcasters in the Northern Realm. Although Lake Sevanto Lomo is not necessarily very safe, the boat ride is much faster than the time it takes to walk on 6.
In Beihu Town, there is a passenger boat dedicated to Lakeside Town, a northern territory, which is a huge ship with a length of more than 40 meters. With the help of spells, ships can be fully loaded with hundreds of people to travel between Lakeside Town and North Lake Town in a single day. If you add in the monthly cargo ships that transport metal ore, then the number of ships traveling from Beihu Town to Lakeside Town is even higher.
It is precisely because of the busy business with Lakeside Town that there are many spellcasters in Beihu Town, but no matter how many spellcasters there are, most of them are low-level depositors. The highest level is only a ninth-order spell master, because it is impossible for most ** masters to come to Beihu Town to buy materials by themselves. Even if they would go to Hugodi in person, they would go straight to Burkner and buy first-hand ore from the mining area instead of second-hand gems that changed hands here in North Lake.
But these ** masters usually come in a hurry, and they leave as soon as they buy something they like, and they don't stay in one place for too long. Because most of the **division-level storage zài have their own spell real yàn room, these magic real yàn rooms are basically in the ** division tower for many years, and there is a ** division tower in Beihu Town, but there is no one in it for a long time. The highest spellcaster residing in Beihu Town is just a few mentor-level mages, after all, this place of Hugodi has just experienced the matter of the lord's rebellion, and it is impossible for there to be many high-level mages.
Therefore, even if the drow elves only dispatch two ** divisions, they can eat Beihu Town to death. The caster has always valued his own life. Therefore, when the drow elves began to attack the city, at least half of the spellcasters who had been stationed in Northlake Town had fled. The rest are either player mages, or some who didn't have time to escape and were captured by Lord Arzari.
Of course, these aboriginal spellcasters now hate Lord Arzari to death, but there is no way for them to escape. Because the teleportation scrolls they were carrying with them had been seized by Lord Arzari, the Lord had to come up with this solution in order to prevent the slippery mages from escaping.
However, even if Lord Arzari captured hundreds of spellcasters as strong men, the outcome of these spellcasters in the face of the powerful Drow Elf ** Master was not very good. Mage is a profession that relies on wisdom and time accumulation to eat, and mage battles rely on wisdom and wit, but the accumulation of years is also very important. Any ** division is a role that is old and refined. Especially the Drow Elves, who are born immortals. Although it is impossible for them to live forever, it is long enough for the human beings who live for a hundred years before they can survive at the Holy Level. Therefore, the accumulation and precipitation of the ** division of the Drow are even stronger, and the fireballs released at a distance of thousands of meters are powerful and terrifying, and a fireball directly ignites more than a dozen soldiers. The terrifying power of the spell made many soldiers dumbfounded in an instant, because they had no way to fight such a terrifying force.
Unfortunately, they had no way to escape now, as the Blackhorned Minotaurs charged towards the walls. All the soldiers knew the result of their escape. Their legs could never outrun the hooves of the Minotaurs, and most importantly, behind the Minotaurs were the Drow cavalry riding underground six-legged war lizards.
To run through the pursuit of a six-legged war lizard in the dark of night is simply a fool's dream. Although these soldiers may have seen the Drow Elves for the first time in their lives, it does not prevent them from knowing the power of the Drow Elves. You must know that there are many adventure stories in the game world, and the drow elves often play the role of villains in some adventure stories, and in most adventure stories, the drow elves are synonymous with evil, horror and lewdness. Although some of the stories are fictional, there are some real things, such as the six-legged lizard cavalry of the drow elves, which are definitely very powerful in the adventure story. Although they can't be as elusive as the Shadow Slayer. However, it has the same impact power as ordinary cavalry, and even more powerful melee attack power.
They may not be able to form a powerful cavalry charging line, but because the war lizards are also capable of attack and lethality, their individual combat power is more powerful than ordinary black-armored cavalry. At least in terms of agility or high movement, they were stronger than the horse cavalry, as they could manipulate the warlizards to dodge the crossbow arrows that came at them, and Lord Arzari's shooting technique of blowing off the head of the minotaur squad was useless against these drow cavalry.
Of course, the Lord's shooting skills are definitely not good, in fact, being able to shoot the head of a Minotaur squad leader is completely shit luck. After that, it was almost nine out of ten shots, but as a lord, even if you didn't hit the target, it was enough to boost morale, which is why although there were fireballs in the air from time to time. And from time to time, unlucky eggs are blasted out, and the entire city wall does not collapse for a reason.
Except for Lord Arzari's brave killing. The reason why the soldiers on the city walls did not flee was also due to the warlord's warlords composed of the mercenaries under the Earl of the North. These mercenaries from the Earl's elite veterans were Lord Arzari's staunchest supporters, as they were well aware of the role of Northlake Town to their masters. In any case, this town must not fall into the hands of the Drow Elves.
They slashed down the soldiers who tried to escape, mercilessly, knowing full well that they might be able to escape, but they would never escape the Earl's punishment. However, while acting as Warlords, these veterans also worked very hard to manipulate bed crossbows or catapults to damage the approaching Blackhorned Minotaurs. The defense system that had only been formed for thousands of years in the town of North Lake played a powerful role at this time, although some of the defenses were dismantled due to the rebellion of the former lord, but with the inauguration of Lord Arzari, these defenses were gradually repaired, at least now they have been restored to about eighty percent of their original size.
These forts and traps scattered outside the town of North Lake effectively blocked the onslaught of some of the Blackhorned Minotaurs, but they were only a block. Faced with the huge size of the black-horned minotaurs, who are over two and a half meters tall, their rough skin and powerful physique can block the attacks of many small crossbow arrows, and only a frontal hit of their body can cause them damage. But when some minotaurs have red eyes. Beginning to enter a manic state is to become mad, even if ordinary crossbow arrows pierce their heads, they will not be able to stop them, because they have completely turned into killing machines by this time.
Fortunately, in addition to the bunkers and traps, Beihu Town also has walls up to three meters thick and fifteen meters high, completely made of basalt, which have been constantly mixed with lead over the millennium, and the walls are so strong that they even glow with a hint of metal from a distance. Of course, it was only some of the walls that were poured lead, such as the gates and relatively dangerous sections of the walls, and most of the walls were only reinforced by basalt and earth elemental spells. But even so, Beihu Town is already one of the strongest cities in the entire Hugo just from the sturdy Cheng Dù of the city wall.
For the defenders of Northlake Town, it is definitely not a comfortable thing to be attacked by the ranged spells of the ** division. But no matter how uncomfortable they were, they had to stay up, and as the minutes passed, the black-horned minotaurs who rushed ahead gradually crossed the fortress and traps and rushed to the bottom of the city walls. However, at this time, all the soldiers defending the city realized that these black-horned minotaurs did not carry siege weapons at all, and they did not even have the most basic ladders. It was impossible to jump to the top of the city without a ladder, which made the soldiers defending the city feel both fortunate and strange.
However, if Chen Kai was here, he would not feel strange, but fearful. Because he knew what the consequences would be if he let a large number of minotaurs approach the walls. When the black-horned minotaurs rushed to the edge of the city wall, they did not swing their battle axes and slash the city wall, but together they raised the hooves of the oxen under their feet and stepped down heavily in the stunned eyes of the soldiers on the wall.
Lines of earthy yellow ripples appeared the moment these oxen hooves stepped on, and then slammed into the city wall when the soldiers on the city wall were unknown. At that moment, everyone in the castle felt the walls under their feet begin to shake, and not only did the fluctuations like earthquakes come, but cracks began to appear in many parts of the strong walls.
"Don't let them continue to use seismic waves! Otherwise, the walls will collapse!" A player who knew the Blackhorned Minotaur skill roared loudly, but his roar was soon drowned out by an even louder impact. Thankfully, he wasn't the only player on the wall, but even if they yelled, it wouldn't be useful, because the soldiers on the wall didn't have much power to stop the blackhorned minotaurs.
The difference in height of the city wall was more than ten meters, and these soldiers had no way to go down the city wall to stop those cattle men. And the so-called bomb oil will not necessarily stop these crazy bulls after they are poured. The red-eyed black-horned minotaurs didn't care about the arrows that fell on their bodies, even if their fur had been scalded off by boiling oil, even if their bodies were hit by bombs, as long as they still had a breath of energy, they would pour the power of the bull's hooves into their bodies. A series of destructive lights repeatedly bombarded the same section of the city wall, no matter how strong the city wall was, it could not withstand this impact, and all the soldiers knew to stop these crazy minotaurs, and even some players simply jumped off the city wall to blow up those minotaurs with a dozen gunpowder bags as human bombs.
But the strength of the Blackhorned Minotaurs is too strong, and their defenses are also very strong, and the trick of human bombs has been very effective against the undead. The force of the impact can even blast those bone racks directly into powder. But after encountering these minotaurs, it will not be used. The impact of the explosion could only kill the Minotaurs in the center. The number of minotaurs on the battlefield exceeded 3,000, and the number of people crowded under this wall exceeded 500. The huge force of the explosion simply did not have the means to kill several. After the impact force spreads, it can only cause less than a thousand impact damage to the surrounding minotaurs.
Although one player after another ran to act as human bombers, in the end they were unable to stop the Minotaur from attacking the walls. Less than ten minutes later, the battered city wall slowly cracked under everyone's horrified gaze, and the sound of crumbling pieces was unearthed.
"Plug it! What about earth elemental mages? What about mages? Seal the walls for me!! Lord Arzari yelled frantically, and all of the player casters, the Middle-earth Elemental Mage and the Native Earth Elemental Mage, wished to stop the collapse of the wall, regardless of the release of the earth-elemental spell that stabilized the wall. But at the same time as they made a move, the two Drow Elf ** masters in the distance suddenly joined forces and released a huge flame hammer. The burning fireball formed a huge pillar of impactful fire in the air, which slammed directly into this section of the city wall over a distance of hundreds of meters. The terrifying power of the flames instantly tore apart the bodies of those spellcasters on the city wall, and the huge city wall slowly fell backwards under the impact. This spell has reached the level of a ninth-order spell in terms of power and difficulty in terms of release difficulty, so it can cause such a terrifying effect.
After an hour and seven minutes of being attacked by the Drow Elves, the walls of Northlake began to crumble, taking not only the courage of the defenders but also a lot of lives. Behind the walls were residential areas, and at the same time there were some wounded lying under the base of the wall, and the collapsed wall did not overwhelm the houses, but it crushed the wounded under the base of the wall. Dozens of tons of rock were dumped. The wounded were crushed to death before they had no time to dodge.
When the news of the capture of Beihu Town came out, Chen Kai was holding the wound on his chest and directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield in front of the lord's mansion. More than a dozen Drow Elven Shadow Slayer Len killed more than thirty soldiers, and these soldiers were all elite-level personal soldiers, which Chen Kai had cultivated with great difficulty. But now they are all dead. Faced with the corpses of these soldiers, Chen Kai couldn't wait to chop up all the corpses of the Drow Elves and feed them to the dogs, but there were only ten Drow Elf Shadow Slayers they really left. Five more drow elves covered each other and fled at the last moment of the battle.
Chen Kai didn't even have the strength to chase after Zhuo'er, because he had at least three or four wounds on his body, and if it weren't for He Liwen's antidote to suppress the toxin, he would have been killed by the Zall elve's poison on the weapon. This assassination from the Drow Elves was even worse than the damage inflicted on Chen Kai by the Grand Duke, at least the Grand Duke of Hansting was not able to kill Chen Kai's many personal guards, nor did he let Drake and a few of his important officers lie on the ground, and these Drow Elves only dispatched a dozen people to achieve the results that the Grand Duke had not achieved in hundreds of people.
Thinking of Drake and the others who were stunned by the highly poisonous dagger, Chen Kai felt bitter in his mouth. You must know that the poison of the drow elves is very difficult to remove, even the effective antidote developed by He Liwen can only suppress the toxin for a few hours. Three or four hours later. These poisons will also explode, and now Chen Kai can only pray that these drow elves will carry the antidote to the poison.
If he couldn't find an antidote, Chen Kai might face a situation where he would lose his most powerful men, which was definitely not what he wanted to see. Of course, when rescuing Drake and them, Chen Kai began to order martial law throughout the town of Burkner, and all players were recruited by him to join the battle to hunt down the Drow Elves. Although this move made Chen Kai pay the price of 150,000 gold coins in an instant, Chen Kai, who was about to go crazy, couldn't take care of these anymore.
Of course, for the players of Burkner, this night was definitely a night of exciting news. First, the Iron Knights and another small town of the Players' Guild were attacked by the Drows, and then the town of Burkna was attacked by the Drows. The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard. And the alarm bells sounding on the city walls are even more alarming. Then, less than ten minutes later, the news came that Beihu Town was besieged by the Drow Elf army. A large amount of information hits the player's nerves. But then came the more exciting news that the lord of the town of Burkna had been attacked. Drake, the commander of the cavalry regiment, was mortally wounded and fainted during the battle, while the lord himself was stabbed several times and poisoned.
Later, the players who stayed in the town of Burkna were tasked by Chen Kaibu to hunt down the Drow Elf, and the maximum bounty reached 50,000, and the players who participated in the battle could exchange even a piece of Drow Elf's meat for a gold coin. This caused players in Berkner to start a frantic way through the streets, and soon the Drow were spotted.
However, before the players could kill all the drow, more exciting news came, and the town of Beihu in the north was captured by the drows. This is definitely shocking news for players, many people know how strong the defense of North Lake Town is, and it is unbelievable that such a powerful town has been captured.
