Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Battle of Norse (Part II)
Chen Kai dug hard, and soon removed some small stones, he directly threw those stones outside, and then continued to dig deeper.
In three minutes, Chen Kai only dug nearly half a meter, and the stones thrown out alone piled up in a corner.
Once more than half of the body was consumed, Chen Kai directly poured the lower body elì potion, and continued to carry and dig the stones in the slow recovery.
Lothar and Pete's grip on their shields began to tremble slowly, and some of the skeleton archers focused their shots on their intentions, and within a minute, their shields were struck nearly a hundred times by their arrows.
"Kaichen, are you okay, we can't stand it!" Lothar yelled at Chen Kai, who was still digging a hole.
"That's it! All right! I'll put the fuse and I'll be right away! Chen Kai crawled out of the hole nearly one meter deep, holding a very thick fuse in his hand, and constantly stuffing some explosives into it with one hand.
Finally, some iron plates were taken out to seal the hole, leaving only the fuse.
Chen Kai used the fire to put a little on the fuse, and after making sure that all the fuses were lit, he rushed out with the shield on his shoulder.
Ahead of him, Lothar and Pete had already started running early, and they were rushing backwards along the huge rushing cart, their shields in the other hand fending off some bows and arrows.
His mouth kept shouting, "Withdraw!" Evacuate! The dynamite is going to explode! "Boom!" After running less than twenty meters tightly, Chen Kai felt a soft sound behind him, and he instantly quickly lightened his body, turned around and saw that Bass, who was covered in blood, actually carried him with his hands.
Quickly rushed towards the cart dozens of meters away, and after seeing that Chen Kai was safe, Lothar and Pete also accelerated rapidly, and finally rushed out of a large distance before the third explosion was remembered.
In the end, the two of them, Buzz and Chen Kai were hit by the shock wave generated by the explosion and flew to the back of the cart, and a huge crack was created in the tall North Pass at the moment of the explosion.
Some huge rocks were blasted into the air by the force of the impact, and fell straight to the west.
And Chen Kai used to block the steel plate, which was directly blown out at the moment of the explosion, and was thrown far away and deeply embedded in the high cliff not far away.
Lothar and Pete used their fighting energy to resist for a while the moment the shockwave arrived, but unfortunately they had too much fighting energy, and they resisted for a while before being knocked away by the shockwave.
fell to the ground not far away, and blood spurted out of his mouth in an instant.
When Bishop Rong En saw it, he directly arrested them one by one, and Chen Kai didn't do anything under the protection of Bass, but was smashed on his helmet by a flying stone.
"I said boy! How many explosives did you stuff, I don't remember giving you so many explosives! Obediently, this power is no worse than two magic crystal cannonballs! Ba patted Chen Kai's head and said with a smile, the city gate of the North Pass has completely disappeared, and the two huge wooden gates have turned into several pieces and are scattered around the city gate.
The stones blocking the gates of the city were even more complete, completely gone, or rather disappeared as far as they could see.
What's more, the walls of the Norse Pass fortress were blown apart in the explosion, and the spell wall above it was destroyed in an instant.
"Earth Elemental Mage, use the sand transformation technique for Lao Tzu to level the city wall for me!" Several loud roars reached everyone's ears after the explosion had completely disappeared, especially Bishop Jon's joining the howls after checking on Lothar and Pete to make sure they were all right.
Chen Kai smiled happily at the pile of explosives in his backpack, and the attributes of the explosives were written.
"Granular black powder bomb, damage 0~100, range of three meters, the closer to the center of the explosion will cause more damage.
Note: After the use of the set is huge, the narrower the environment in which the power is greater, please stay away from the fire! Chen Kai didn't know how much explosives he had stuffed into it, anyway, he had stuffed the entire corner of the hole that could be stuffed with explosives before sealing it with a steel plate.
In addition to the one given by Bass, he himself bought a lot of them in the dwarven underground shop, which was a full five hundred explosive tubes.
More than a dozen desertification techniques instantly hit the city wall that had been crumbled by explosives, and under everyone's gaze, the city wall slowly turned into grains of sand and slowly collapsed.
In an instant, large pieces of stone fell apart, and the city wall that had been blocked on the mountain pass suddenly turned into a sand dune covered with sand.
After the collapse of that wall, the defenses of the entire Norse Pass suddenly became weak.
More than a dozen earth-based spellcasters kept firing sand at the destroyed walls and crossbow platforms of the spell defense walls, and large swaths of the city walls turned into sand.
After losing the threat of the crossbow, the horn of attack sounded in an instant, and thousands of high-level professionals roared and rushed towards the Norse Pass.
Those high-level professionals directly abandoned the mountain path, some jumped directly on the mountain road and rushed up, while some high-level mages floated in the air and flew up.
Within ten minutes, the Norse Pass had been completely captured, and all the skeleton warriors and imps had been killed.
However, the Earth Elemental Mages became depressed after taking the Norse Pass, as the Commander asked them to quickly rebuild the bunker and strengthen it.
This made these earth elemental mages very depressed, and it would be so cool to know that they wouldn't dismantle it, which is what most earth elemental mages think.
However, fortunately, although the city wall has been turned into sand, the previously solid wall foundation is still there, and there are nearly three hundred earth elemental mages in the entire army, so it was many times more when this Noss Pass was originally built.
So before dawn the next day, a brand new North Castle reappeared on the pass, and it was even bigger than before.
However, the damaged wooden door could not be reinstalled, so it could only be temporarily blocked directly with the wall.
Because just as Chen Kai and the others were capturing the Lower North Pass, the city gate was breached when the last news came from the town of Motobo.
Baron Murtobo committed suicide and martyrdom, and he didn't even die a scum, because he didn't want his body to become a moving skeleton, so he blew himself up with gunpowder.
Fortunately, however, most of the inhabitants of Motobo escaped through the teleportation array set up by the city lord of Guò, at the cost of the magic materials that the Motobo family had accumulated for hundreds of years.
However, because of this, the Motobo family was spared the punishment of being stripped of their noble titles and beaten as criminals, and the Hansting king saw that most of the commoners were rescued and Baron Motobo committed suicide and martyrdom, and set aside a manor outside the imperial capital for the Motobo family.
However, most of the nobles knew that the original great fiefdom nobles Motobo family had fallen, and the manor outside the imperial capital could not be compared with a city.
In the aristocratic system, a nobleman with a fief of a city-state, even a knight, was respected, with his own independent family coat of arms and a private army of more than a thousand people.
They were the main armed and political forces of the empire, but they had relatively heavy responsibilities.
Once the land is lost, as long as the escape, the whole family is immediately reduced to a criminal citizen, and there is almost no day to come out.
Therefore, in history, almost none of the nobles fled after losing their land, and most of them just sent away their family heirs as a continuation, and then committed suicide and martyrdom.
This is the case of the Motobo family, according to the information obtained by Chen Kai, the only descendants of the Motobo family are the only son, Jean Rekfa Motobo, and the other family members, including the wife of Baron Motobo, are 131 members, including the groom butler, who either died in battle or committed suicide.
Even the chief knight of the family, Jean Lexa Murtobo, the sole heir of the Murtobo family, Norma Lexa committed suicide after handing over the young son to the patriarch of the noble family with whom he was befriended.
Another piece of information that Chen Kai got was that all players were forced to respawn after the capture of Motobo, and the system compensated for some gold coins and doubled the leveling experience within a certain period of time.
However, these are really insignificant compared to the losses of the players, of course, Chen Kai, who has just experienced the first cold weapon war, has no time to deal with these things, he is too tired.
Although his body was asleep in the life support cabin, he had actually not rested for almost two days, so after climbing into his magic tent, Chen Kai fell asleep directly on his bed, and there were more than a dozen familiar players and Xu Fei lying on the ground around him.
The noise in the tent was shocking, but they were much luckier than the people sleeping outside, although Chen Kai's tent was large, it was still stuffed into nearly 100 people, and even dozens of people were lying in the hall outside.
The next morning, while Chen Kai was still asleep, a bleak sound of horns reached his ears through the soundproof tent.
Chen Kai was awakened from his sleep in an instant, and was directly pulled back into the game from the darkness.
"Damn! I knew it and went offline to sleep. ”
Xu Fei and Fei Yun slowly got up, and their mouths kept muttering.
"Okay, don't chirp, hurry up! Don't see a prompt? The Battle of Norse has begun, and those who do not gather within a certain period of time are considered deserters, and now it is too late to take them off the line! Chen Kai quickly put on his armor and grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chen Kai and Xu Fei had just run out of the tent when they were directly pulled away by Bas.
Several spellcasters and thief rangers were captured by their respective mentors, especially Chen Yi, as a very rare holy sacrifice even among the aborigines, she was directly carried by several priests to a place where a huge amplification circle was drawn, and then kept wearing spell amplification props on her.
If it weren't for the female pastor who helped change her clothes, and there was a curtain around her, Chen Yi would have screamed indecent a long time ago.
At the request of her mentor, Chen Yi opened three auras at the same time, including life, tranquility, and divine brilliance, which instantly covered the entire city wall.
Chen Yi watched as he surpassed the mana value of more than 1,000 points after being equipped with heavy spell equipment, and quickly descended, pouring a bottle of purple spell potion into his mouth from time to time.
Finally persevered until the aura covered the city wall, and now all she had to do was listen to the words of her mentor and keep maintaining the aura.
Of course, if she only relied on Chen Yi alone, it would be impossible to open such a large aura, and there were more than a dozen temple priests standing on the magic circle around her, using their magic power to maintain the operation of the aura.
Bishop Rong En looked at the three holy crystals on the magic circle in a daze.
"It's too extravagant, it's too extravagant, three Saint Crystals! More than 20 top-grade magic crystals, as well as nearly 200 kilograms of Mithril, are really too luxurious. ”
Bishop Rong kept talking, but he also understood that the original holy sacrifice was a very rare profession, even among the aborigines.
At least there are only a dozen of the Hansting Empire combined, and most of them are old and can't walk, and the only few young ones are all supporting the battle with the Demon Gate.
Therefore, the holy sacrifice that the entire Hansting Empire can pull out is only a little traveler girl who is an apprentice profession.
"Forget it, out of sight is not the temple anyway, it is not the temple to pay, there is the treasury of the emperor's majesty."
Bishop Rong En thought about it and walked away directly, of course, he asked several priests to keep casting magic spells and replenishing magic for those who supported the circle, especially Chen Yi, who was the eye of the array, and had three temple priests as caretakers.
"Quick! Hurry up for Lao Tzu, pull that bed crossbow up, the earth elemental mage is there! Reinforcement that crossbow machine for me, hurry up! Those skeletons are about to rush up. ”
A paladin stood on the city wall and kept shouting, because this war was not discovered in advance, the highest rank in the army that arrived first was the great knight, and there were very few archbishops and paladins.
Chen Kai pulled the rope hard, and behind him was a huge bed crossbow.
A dozen or so Aboriginal professionals and players in front of him were also pulling the cable, and they needed to pull the bed crossbow up to the twenty-meter-high wall.
Chen Kai estimated that this was the heaviest thing it had pulled in his life, not to mention that the bed crossbow was only four meters long and three meters wide, but the weight alone was not less than a ton.
Plus it's uphill again, and the weight is really terrible.
Chen Kai stared at the player in front of him tightly, for fear that he would accidentally fall.
It's okay for him to fall, the key is that this uphill is very slippery, and it is estimated that he will roll down directly as soon as he falls.
After finally pulling the huge bed crossbow to the city wall and placing it, Chen Kai couldn't rest yet, he had to go and pull the next one.
Chen Kai was very envious of those who were responsible for transporting the wood, because they only had to ride horses to pull the wood over, at least they didn't have to do coolies.
Chen Kai leaned over and looked at the west from a distance, and saw a patch of gray dust, and there were many black spots floating in the sky.
", I wonder how many skeleton warriors and demons there are?" Buzz stood beside Chen Kai and glanced at him and said.
"I guess there are three legions! At least 60,000 people died in Motobo, and even if only half of them were converted, 30,000 skeletal warriors could have been born.
Ten thousand legions, so at least three legions! Rorac said as he stood on the wall, gritting his teeth, his fingers gripping the wall tightly, leaving deep marks.
Last night, he cried and sent the coffin of the head of his mercenary group, the Great Swordsman of Miro, to the city station behind, and then rode back, followed by dozens of members of the mercenary group who swore revenge for the commander.
Chen Kai only rested a little before he had to pull up the rope again and pull another huge bed crossbow onto the city wall.
As time went on, the army of bones in the west drew closer and closer, and the dust kicked up grew greater.
But it's not just the number of skeletal warriors who are growing, but so are the number of troops guarding the Norse Pass.
Chen Kai knew that the Earth Elemental Spell and the Earth Temple's leyline warlocks alone were almost more than a thousand, and they were constantly reinforcing the city walls and loosening the mountains to build new defensive platforms.
Chen Kai felt that he was relatively good, because some people still had to pull the bed crossbow to the top of a hill 200 meters higher than the city wall, where the crossbow machine that had just been built with spells was connected to the huge city wall.
To the east of the Norse Pass, the army mobilized by the cities close to the Pass, such as Dokan, Candoli, and Mophilik, was rapidly massing, and the number of troops alone was close to 10,000.
Of course, the number of arrivals is more than the players, in addition to being brought by their own mentors, there are more players who ride horses and touch the way.
These so-called passing soy sauce players who originally wanted to experience the war scene couldn't walk directly after getting close to the North Pass.
The caster is directly caught, throwing a hammer and chisel to cut the stone in the designated place and carve the magic pattern.
As for the other players, rangers and thieves are integrated into ranged troops, and more are incorporated into various troops, either as craftsmen who polish stones, or pull bellows for blacksmiths, or they are thrown to cut wood, and it is impossible to even escape, and once they leave a certain range of the North Pass, they directly become deserters.
Hundreds of unknown players were captured by the cavalry and thrown into death squads.
These players are the less fortunate ones, and of course they are much better off than the ones who surrendered.
It was not without players who chose to surrender in the Battle of Metobo.
However, those skeletons could not understand human speech, and they were killed very tragically.
The system judged that the place where the mutinous camp was resurrected was actually in the Skeleton Warriors' formation, and as a result, they were tragically killed several times.
In the end, I had to choose to delete the number and be reborn, because the little devil planned to make them into adult barbecued pork.
Joining a death squad is just a matter of carrying a dynamite bag and dying once, which is already a good calculation for these players, and at least they can be forgiven.
Once the guilt of the deserter is confirmed, it will be three months in prison, which is actually similar to deleting the number and retraining.
Therefore, players who have slowly integrated into the game will accept this punishment, after all, they can't stand it if they are asked to leave the game to play other garbage games.
Two kilometers outside of the Norse Pass, all the skeletal armies and demons slowly stopped.
Standing on the city wall, one can finally see through the wall the skeletons of bones and the demon legions that have fallen to the ground.
Although most of them are small demons with wings, there are still a large number of inferior demons and various other demons.
Behind the Bone Legion, where several huge Bato Flame Demons with a height of five or six meters were wielding huge weapons, Chen Kai could clearly see the hideous expressions on the faces of those demons through the telescope blessed with the Eagle Eye Technique.
What's even more terrifying is that there are still some living humans behind the demons, some are warriors in armor, and more are desperate.
Chen Kai saw with his own eyes that a Barto Flame Demon grabbed a living person and put it directly into his mouth and gnawed it, biting off that person's thigh in one bite.
After gnawing on his thighs, the fire demon directly used the fire to coke the still struggling living people.
"These damn Batow Demons!" Buzz hammered the walls hard, but fortunately the walls had been reinforced by earth mages to the point that they were no worse than steel.
Therefore, Chen Kai didn't have to worry about whether he would need to call someone to repair the city wall, but he was more worried about whether he could hold on to the Lower North Mountain Fort.
Because he saw through the telescope dozens of huge trebuchets, as well as huge bed crossbows and siege machines.
