Chapter 186: City Defense

Fortress walls and castles were once symbols of the Middle Ages in a certain world, but eventually they gradually declined due to the prosperity of modern weapons, and became the tears of the times.

The bombing of the formed air force, the long-range strikes of artillery positions, the destruction of large-scale strategic weapons, and the torrent of steel that forcibly broke through can all make these immovable barriers meaningless, so the majestic wonders that have played a huge role in countless wars in history and played a strategic role have also become tourist attractions open to the world from military points in relatively peaceful modern times.

"Times change, and with the advancement of technology and the emergence of new species, the original iron laws of the battlefield will eventually be reduced to waste paper, and even the strongest fortress castle will eventually become a tourist attraction."

I've always thought like this, maybe due to the differences between the magic civilization and the technological civilization, there will not be exactly the same tank and bomber groups in this era, but a large number of high-level air riders can ignore the city wall and throw weapons that destroy the miรจ, when the engineer's technology is further formed, the steel torrent of the magical civilization is not impossible, as for the strategic-level ruining miรจ weapons, haven't there always been forbidden spells and the like.

Although there are few forbidden spell mages, and even fewer dare to really use them, but with the development of magical civilization, it is not impossible for powerful strategic-level universal magic to appear, at least I have come up with several crazy battlefield murder weapons that use magic to achieve based on the creations of that world.

For example, the Viral Undead Scourge, the Heavy Radiation Liquid Slime, the Fortress-type Continental Shelf Destroyer, and the Mutated Latent Biological Poison Gas

Ahem, as a pacifist, let those things that are obviously anti-human and have no lower limit be sealed until the end of the world. Back to business. By my judgment. came to a conclusion that is contrary to the mainstream view.

"Future wars will also enter a new era without walls."

Therefore, unlike the practice of the Kingdom of Sluwell to build a fortress defense, whether it was underground in the past or in Donglan later, I did not hesitate to give up the time-consuming and labor-intensive city wall defense system, but instead channeled resources into the research and development of new technologies and new arms.

"A defensive battle based on solid walls is likely to be swept into the dustbin of history in this holy war"

But that change is not now.

Fortresses and castles seem to be purely passive fortifications. But in the era of cold weapons, it is extremely important, whether it is in the face of the cavalry raids of the nomads coming and going, or in the face of the herd of beasts that come to hunt for food in the dark night, he can play an irreplaceable core strategic role.

Defending the city and attacking the city has become the standard procedure of countless wars, and he is not only a defensive barrier in reality, but also a psychological fortress.

Even now there is a new era of innovation. But it's not really popular, and human attitudes don't change so easily. In the eyes of most people, the equation that a city is broken and defeated still exists.

At this time, the Red Maple Defense Line is equal to the psychological support of the human side, if something happens to him

"It's all over! There is no hope for us, we are all going to die! โ€

The screaming and desperate words were not a useless coward, the general had just killed more than a dozen orcs in hand-to-hand combat, and the wounds on his body had not had time to be bandaged, but he screamed like a useless deserter forced into battle to serve as cannon fodder.

In that earthquake, the city walls were not completely destroyed, but the countless open openings allowed wild beasts to enter the sheepfold to hunt at will, and the city wall had lost its meaning.

"The walls are gone" is equal to "the war has been lost", this is the iron law in his heart, and the rout of the psychological defense line has made this warrior into despair.

There are not a few fighters like him, and even the strongest fighters have the first reaction that this war has been lost.

Fight field battles with outnumbered orcs? Individual strength and morale were completely suppressed, which was self-defeating from the beginning.

Never underestimate the experience and wisdom of the longevity species, Om Di Roken, who seems to be not good at thinking, originally he was cunning on the outside, even if he was in a chess game, but in fact he had been looking at the overall situation, he did not intervene directly, but he has been trying to read the shape of war.

Therefore, when he was doomed to failure, he stabbed the biggest weakness of the human race at this critical point in time, and he always knew that once the Red Maple City was lost, it would be the most painful wound for the human side.

If Red Maple City falls, there will be no more obstacles in the vast plain area after it, which will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the combat power of the entire battlefield, and the entire human alliance will fall into an avalanche-like losing streak, and at that time, the orcs will even be able to turn back and encircle Antun again, and his own revenge will naturally be avenged.

"Run, the orcs are in town!"

"Unwillingly, we have all fought to this point,

But fortunately, not everyone has given up hope, or rather, although the stupid boldness of a certain princess is a headache, the never-say-die temperament until the last moment is still very likable.

The fluttering battle flag did not fall, and the Lan people had already faced countless desperate situations, since even the slaughter of the city did not deter them, it was just that the city wall was broken, and they could do nothing.

"Abandon the outer city wall, all retreat to the inner city, the wounded go first, and those who can stand up will block the group of brutes for me!"

Still with a slightly childish roar echoing back and forth over the city, the awakening of the warriors began to convey, and finally, the dazed warriors began to act.

"We've been through countless bloody battles, and it's not time to give up yet!"

The crumbling outer walls were abandoned as soon as possible, most of the residents were already in the inner city, and the main ones who needed to be evacuated were the wounded, and the defenders who were crushed by the collapsed walls now did not have time to clean up the rubble.

And the more critical it is. The more it reflects the importance of the trump card.

Finally. Donglan people threw out the last trump card.

"The Great Judgment!"

The artifact Primordial Codex is activated. The silver light enveloped the city in an instant, making a guilty invader, and all orcs will be subjected to multiple blockades of negative states such as restricted freedom, invisible shackles, and weapon blockades.

But unfortunately, before the Sleepless became the guardian saint of the Northlands, there was no reason for the Law Church to intervene in this war, and the Law profession in Red Maple City was only accompanied by a few Renee, and the powerful buff that increased his rank did not play a big role.

But it's enough to just bind the other person's utility. In this moment when every minute counts, every minute of delay for the orcs will allow more warriors to retreat to the inner city, and more warriors will reorganize their defensive positions.

"Inform the Aurora that the fire is on full force, we need support to overload the Train King, and give these damn orcs a gift!"

In the midst of danger, she increasingly reflects the role of the backbone, she does not need much wisdom and experience, as long as she stabilizes her mind and proposes to respond. It's enough to calm people's hearts.

The chaos at the west gate began to be calmed down, in the eyes of regret from everyone. The train king, who had been overloaded, was left behind the city walls.

"Boom!" Another mushroom cloud slowly rises on the battlefield.

The violent explosion even blew the city gate away, but those orcs who planned to pass through were also directly turned into flying ashes, and the huge ravine created by the explosion could be used directly as a moat, and at this time, everyone was carried away from the crumbling city wall by the floating ship, ready to rebuild the fortifications in the inner city.

Finally, the crumbling city wall completely collapsed, and the fallen wall overwhelmed many orcs, and on the floating boat, looking at the ruins, Renee was silently ruthless.

"Damn orcs! I'm going to keep your souls in the Styx forever agony, what have I said. What is the River Styx? โ€

If you can look in the mirror, Renee should be even more surprised, at this time, Renee's eyes are blood-red, and the wing-like black mist behind her has begun to turn into substance, and behind her, a false black illusion is laughing wildly.

"Haha, the seeds, finally germinated!" โ€•โ€•

And when night has fallen, the mage union in Antun is still busy.

On the square in front of the Mage Tower, hundreds of spellcasters were busy, countless magic patterns were engraved on the ground, a large number of precious resources were consumed, and the paint was filled with dragon blood that was hard to buy.

The precious Magical Goblet of Fire was used as illumination, and the archmages were on their stomachs studying the rare patterns of magic.

"Aren't you alright?"

"You think it's easy to teleport remotely and accurately over ultra-long distances? Tell you, this is no different from opening the door of the different plane, the slightest difference, you will be thrown to another dimension, sit down, don't shake, I will calculate your weight. โ€

The ladies passing by kept covering their mouths and snickering, and those mages were also stolen, no wonder they were like this, and my appearance was destined to become a new shame at this time.

The cold wind kept blowing, but I was shivering, and there was only a pair of underwear left around my body, and I was not infected by snowshoes!

"Don't shake it, how do I measure my weight Hey, your weight is still over, beyond my ability, you still need to lose weight!"

At this point, I was covered in strange patterns painted with dragon's blood paint, and I was shivering on a large tray of scales used to hold the raw materials of the monsters.

How else to reduce? Hesitantly, I stretched out my hand downward, but I couldn't get that hand down when I looked at the more and more spectators, and at the ladies who were covering their eyes but kept peeking below.

"I'm still overweight, a pair of underwear isn't enough, and my hair and eyebrows are all shaved."

Pushing the glasses, the cold-faced Margaret made a fatal verdict.

Fully shaved? I inexplicably remembered the bare eggs.

The round head of the light is cool in summer, and it can reflect the sunlight in the sun to warm up in winter, which is really good, and it can also save the cost of lamp fuel at night, and the secret technique of the holy light that flashes blind in the dog's eyes can also play double the effect.

"Adam, don't give me psychological lines! I want to reflect on myself. โ€

Adam was already rolling on the ground laughing, and only he could say those unreliable lines, or maybe he would be the only one who would be so boring.

But because of my pushing, Margaret's face became colder and colder, and she seemed to be a little unhappy.

"Well, is there any other way?"

"Hands."

In an instant, I felt a bump in my heart, and cut off my arm to reduce weight, which was indeed no way.

After hesitating for a moment, I took out the Roland Holy Sword and compared it on my arm for a long time, but in the end, I lost it to Adam.

"Come, Adam, I'm afraid of pain."

I closed my eyes and waited for a long time, but I only heard the sound of "snort", and when I opened my eyes, I saw the two of them exchanging views with strange faces.

"Don't delay, we don't have much time, let's be sharp, I'll go back and find a priest and maybe pick up what you laugh at."

"Poof!"

Hearing this, Adam immediately burst out of breath with laughter. Margaret pushed her eyes down again.

"What do you do with chopping hands? There's no need, are you going to put on a hook and act as a pirate captain? โ€

"The weight? So you're kidding! Already teleportable? โ€

"No, I've never joked in the realm of magic." Margaret still said with a stern face, the cold light in her eyes made her heart tremble, she was indeed serious.

"It's true that your current weight is not good, but when I say 'hand', I want you to take off the age ring in your hand."

In an instant, I understood, now I am overweight, and it is naturally impossible for me to be overweight when I was a child, and it is not enough to take off the ring.

"If you didn't say it earlier, you cheated me again! Hey, wait, I've got something to say."

Annoyed, I quickly took off the ring, and before I could complain, Margaret's cane fell, but the light of the teleportation had already surrounded me.

At this time, I could only hurriedly pick up the Roland Holy Sword and get ready, and then reluctantly accepted the reality of being tricked.

And when I left, the square fell silent again, and Adam suddenly spoke.

"Relieved?"

"Of course, this bastard actually forgot about me again, it's really not enough friends. The look at strangers was so unpleasant. โ€

The sage, who was always indifferent, had such moments of righteous indignation, but then, Margaret suddenly turned cloudy and laughed.

"However, he can't be blamed entirely, let the past pass. And even if I forget the story of the past, and add new memories, this time, it should make him remember me deeply. โ€

Adam shook his head helplessly, but turned his attention to the south, where the fate of the entire Northland was at stake.

"Roland doesn't know if it's okay to do it alone, it's really hard to deal with over there."

"Hmph, he's not alone, have you forgotten about Amira and the cat, why do you think they disappeared for so long? Roland's boy was ridiculously cautious, and he had already left a few trump cards that no one knew. โ€

And as expected, at this time, in the market area of Red Maple City, there is a witch who has made the final preparations before the battle.

"Hey, it's really a big loss this time, so let's find a junior brother to get back the loss. Wake up, little darling, it's time for dinner. Don't worry, this time the staple food is not chewy zombies, this time, let's play Plants vs. Orcs! (To be continued......)
