Several of our guild leaders were discussing countermeasures at the head of the city, and the positions on the opposite side changed one step ahead. The water vapor that filled the air was rapidly gathering into the air, and it was obvious that some force was gathering the water vapor. Our doubts were quickly answered, and the water vapor in front of us quickly gathered into a huge black cloud within ten minutes, and then began to rain, quickly washing away the magmatic rock ground that had just been cooled again.

"They're preparing for the final attack!" Hongyue said: "Everyone should return to their posts, and this side will have to change the battlefield in a while." ”

I nodded: "You guys go to the rear." I'll just be in command here. ”

"Okay!" Mingui turned around and left with everyone, leaving only the two users of the national weapon, True Red and Gold Coins, after all, they were not good at commanding in the first place, and exerting their personal combat power was their main function.

The area in front of Rock Castle, which was originally a mountain forest, is now a black rocky ground, absolutely flat and unobstructed. A large number of troops can be seen moving towards this direction at the gap that appeared before the mountain range in the distance, and the black pressure is like a flood, and the preliminary estimate is more than 10 million. NPC legions can be purchased, which is nothing for the Americans, but I have a headache.

The army, led by the Holy Lancers, stopped a short distance in front of the city. This guy is very shrewd. The architecture of Rock City is completely derived from Issinger, and its cliff-like walls have a strong psychological deterrent effect. If the spear god takes the troops and starts the siege directly. Then his troops would be 100% frightened by the walls. So this guy first parked his troops far away outside the city, so that they could see the city wall, but because of the distance, it would not be too intimidated, as long as the troops got used to that fear of large objects, they would no longer be frightened by the height of the city wall, and only then could these troops exert 100% combat effectiveness.

The spearman looked at the top of the city wall with a telescope for a long time, and suddenly found me standing on the city wall, and looked straight at him, he immediately smiled, and then moved forward with the army for some distance. This position is now within the range of Rock City's artillery fire, but we don't plan to fire yet. It is unlikely that a shell will hit the ground by throwing a shell at this range.

Ordering the army to stop advancing, the spear god only took a few people around him and continued to move forward until he reached the city wall. "Ziri, do you know what I'm here for?" The walls are too high, and this guy's amplification magic is as small as a mosquito humming.

I felt the leaves of the City Tree, which were copied from Issinger, and of course the City Tree. Let the City Tree attach this leaf of mine to the amplified magic circle on the city walls. "Of course I do. Aren't you just here to find your death? "I deliberately turned on the amplification magic array to the maximum power, the giant magic array carved on the city wall with a diameter of more than thirty meters is much stronger than the temporary amplification magic of the spear god, and the volume is as loud as thunder. The shocked spear god almost fell off his horse.

"Okay, count yourself ruthless." The spear god pointed at me and said, "It doesn't matter if you destroy my city. Today, I'll let you give me back all the interest. ”

"That's up to you if you have the skills."

"You're ......!" The spearman suddenly pointed a gun at me and was about to shoot me, but his movements quickly froze as the foot of the city wall suddenly shook. A row of holes suddenly opened in front of the spear god, and a three-meter-high metal cylinder popped out of each hole. As soon as the metal cylinders were raised, the ground closed back to hold them in place, and the top of the cylinders suddenly spread out in all directions, forming a bowl-shaped structure. Buzz. The small bowl on the top of each pillar contained a purple crystal like an olive core, and at the same time, these crystals quickly lit up, and red electric balls appeared around them and swirled around the crystals at high speed. Looking at these crystal spear gods suspended in mid-air, they already knew what this was.

Yusina, who had been following the spear god, grabbed the spear god: "That's the electric god pillar, it's better not to be impulsive." We can't deal with city-level defensive weapons! ”

"I know!" The gun god put the gun down in a gray manner.

I leaned on the edge of the wall and looked down at him, deliberately provoking him. "Haha! Why didn't you shoot? Come on? I'm right here, are you going to shoot? Don't be afraid! Are you afraid of that little thing? ”

The spear god crackled his hand. But I didn't dare to move. He also knows that these things are not easy to mess with, so it is better to endure them. After snorting, he didn't say anything and retreated with the people, but the players on our side let out a neat boo from the top of the city wall, and the angry spear god turned his head and was about to rush back, only to be forced back by his companions.

It was only after returning to the main formation that the spear god stopped struggling. The Oriental man was leaning back on a rocking chair and said, "I said I wouldn't go, you can't scold him." Just think about what that kid did. He has always been in the middleman business, do you think such a population will be bad? What age is it, and you still run to call two armies in a row, is it necessary? ”

"Which side the hell are you from? How do you hit me closely? ”

"I'm not from your side anyway." The Oriental threw away the pits that had just been eaten. "I have already told you at the beginning, I am just a staff officer hired by you, I provide advice on your actions, and it is your business to adopt it or not. I don't have to follow you as soon as the contract expires, so I'm not your person, nor is it Ziri's person, I'm still a free person now, and I will always be in the future. Do you understand? ”

Yusina immediately said: "Your plan to level the mountains has shown that your strategy is very useful, if we fight according to our own methods, we will probably have to reduce one-fifth of our men if we can't reach the city walls." However, now that the city is already in front of us, please seriously help us think about what way we can attack it, right? ”

"The easiest way to do that is to attack. Use people to pile up. Of course, you probably don't have enough people here to go into the city. Therefore, my construction is to mix the special operators and ordinary troops, and then the special operators forcibly enter the city wall, even if they can't control the city wall, at least they can buy time for the people below, and it won't cause too many casualties. The most important thing in Rock City is the outer wall, as long as you go inside, it will be easy to do. ”

Yusina

When he heard this, he immediately asked in surprise: You haven't seen Isenger?

"Why did I see Isenger?" The Oriental man asked proudly.

"Don't you know that Isengh has three walls?"

"Three?" The Oriental was visibly stunned for a moment. He sat up from his rocking chair instead of his previous ramblings, and then immediately went to the makeshift tent and took out the map and unfolded it, and then asked someone to bring out the rough drawings of Isenger and explain it to him. After listening for a while, he said, "It's careless! I didn't expect there to be such a city, I always thought that Issinger was just an exaggerated thickness and height of the outer wall! I didn't expect it to be so troublesome! Since Rock City is a copy of Issinger's hair. That means the structure is all the same, right? ”

Yusina said: "We haven't been in Rock City either, but the city is a copy of the system reward, so there shouldn't be a difference." And, based on the reaction of the spies we sent inside the Frost, Isenger was far from as simple as he thought. ”

"The three walls are indeed not simple." The Oriental nodded in acknowledgement.

"It's not a matter of the walls." Yusina said: "According to the spy report, Issinger is a zΓ i dungeon, and there is more than one floor. Our spies have been through three floors underground at most, and there seem to be many floors below. However, the utilization rate of NPCs in the Guild of Frost is too high, and our player spies are not easy to blend into. And also. As you may have seen, there is also a symmetrical inverted city above the head of Rock City, the city above and the city below are called mirror twin cities, which can support each other during battle, and their connection point is only a central Gathering Tower in addition to the teleportation array. If we attack it, the teleportation array will definitely be closed. It's probably not too easy to capture the Gathering Spirit Tower and climb to it, so ......! ”

"That's a bit difficult!"

"It's all a minor issue." "According to previous experience, there is something in Issinger that can destroy all enemies within a certain range in an instant, we don't know the specific range, but it can definitely cover the whole city, and it can automatically distinguish between friend and foe." So if we do get in. They're definitely going to start it once. Luckily, it either has a cooldown or is a special cost, so it can't be used continuously anyway. However, this means that we will have to occupy the city at least twice before it can be completely controlled, so it is better to divide the current troops into three parts, with two for the first occupation and the last one for another occupation. ”

The Oriental man nodded, "It seems that you are not really that stupid!" Case. So that's ......! ”

The spear god and the guy discussed it for more than an hour before they began to assign tasks. All of them were given very detailed mission instructions, but problems arose before the battle even began. A red beam of light suddenly appeared in the baggage camp at the rear of the military formation. As soon as the spear god saw the thing, he immediately shouted: "Get out of the way, that's the laser sight line." ”

The United States is flooded with guns, and everyone knows that the laser sight is not very accurate, but the effect is still achieved, and the surrounding players began to quickly direct the NPCs to pull the horses away from the position where the light shines, but the beam of light is constantly moving with these carriages or something. Suddenly, the clouds in the sky spread out a hole, and a white light shot down straight down, hitting the spot where the beam hit.

"Lie down!"

With a bang, the white light bullet landed next to a carriage with cannonballs, and the shells on the cart were detonated instantly, and the shock wave directly lifted the surrounding carriages out. Before the chaos was over, the beam suddenly moved to the camp tent next to the spear god, and the spear god quickly picked up the oriental man and jumped out, and the white light bullet then arrived, and the camp tent was blown apart in one fell swoop.

"Damn, what is this? Decapitation operation? The Oriental man got up from the ground and complained.

Yusina explained, "This is the Frost Rose Alliance's Babelta, and according to the information we have, its properties are similar to that of a space-based weapon, as if it can hit any target on a global scale. ”

"That's an exaggeration, isn't it?" The Oriental man was talking hard, and there were several places that were attacked intensively.

"In fact, the role of this thing as a reconnaissance satellite is far greater than its attack power." Yusina said: "But the problem is that its ability to strike at will has too much impact on morale!" ”

"Don't worry. This thing can't be fired for a few shots. "The Spear God knows the situation of our guild very well, and he also knows that Babelta is characterized by not being able to use it consistently. Sure enough, soon the attack ended. The losses caused were actually not large, but the impact on combat effectiveness was very severe, because most of the hits were baggage wagons, and all of them were ammunition wagons.

Because he was worried that we would play any more tricks, the spear god simply pacified the army and began to order the attack, and of course, the tactical guidance of the military division had already been informed.

"Finally willing to move!" Lying on the top of Rock City, Zhenhong, who was almost asleep, finally came to his senses.

The gold coin also said, "This time it's up to me to clean them up." ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, these two girls are really more violent than the other. But I'm also paying attention to what's going on below. It's just that what I'm focusing on is a little different. I'm more concerned about what kind of methods American players will use against the outermost walls of Rock City. The wall of more than 400 meters high is already a mountain, and the thickness of two kilometers ensures that even if it is hit by a forbidden spell, it will collapse in a small area at most, and it will not be completely crossed. With such a wall in front of it, I don't know how the spear god will attack. β– The car and the ladder can't reach the top of the wall at all, and the gate of the broken dragon stone structure can't be opened by the rushing car, so do they still plan to climb up?

Seeing that the American players below are pouring over like a tide, without any strategy or tactics at all, do they really plan to build a slope with people? Shake your head. Shake off your own guesses. I'm going to have to change everything right now, no matter what the American players do. I'll just see the trick anyway.

The haphazard motley army soon entered the city limits, but our side did not even start the artillery fire. It was a bit too wasteful to waste the shock effect of the first round of shelling for the sake of these miscellaneous soldiers, and they are not needed now. When the chaotic miscellaneous soldiers rushed to the foot of the city wall with a shout, the kind that had scared off the spear god and Yusina

The thing popped out again, and the crystal lit up with a dazzling brilliance.

Bang Bang ...... A terrifying arc of lightning flashed through the crowd approaching the metal sticks, and those who were hit immediately turned into flaming torches. High-voltage electricity can not only kill people, but also ignite charred corpses directly.

After seeing the tragic situation of the first batch of troops sent to death, the spear god finally began to rejoice that he didn't shoot me just now, otherwise he would have been one of those charred corpses by now.

The killing speed of the Electric God Pillar can only be said to be terrifying, even with such a crazy impact, no one can cross the thunder pool one step, and a large number of charred corpses fell in front of the Electric God Pillar. Speaking of which, this thing is actually very. Depending on the material, each Electro God Pillar has its own level. When the Electro God Pillar slaughters people below its own level, that kind of efficiency is probably not comparable to any other weapon, but for people above its own level, the Electric God Pillar is a complete decoration. But now the people who are attacking are all miscellaneous soldiers. The Electric God Pillar was simply engaged in a massacre, and in a short time a mountain of corpses was piled up under the city wall.

It's under the walls of this chaos. Some special personnel suddenly and cautiously moved under the city walls with their belongings. A player put the strangely shaped iron plate in his hand on the ground, and the four people next to him immediately carried a long pipe to the iron plate and connected them, and the players behind sent several parts one after another, and the thing was quickly assembled.

If you look closely, you will see that this thing looks a lot like a mortar, but it certainly won't be a mortar. I saw a player bring out a strangely shaped object, which looked like a shrunken strap-on launch vehicle, and in the center of it was a rope attached to it, and the rope was placed on the ground, and there was a large roll. The two players tweaked the thing a bit and put the cannonball in. As soon as he lost his hand, the player immediately turned around and crouched down with his head in his hands, only to hear a sound behind him, and the cannonball with the rope head flew straight to the top of the city wall, and the rope on the ground was being pulled up at a rapid speed.

At first, the cannonballs flew well, but the city wall more than 400 meters high was not simple after all, not to mention that there was a rope dragging behind the cannonballs, and it looked like it was about to fall down after only half of the flight. However, just when everyone thought that this thing would not come up, a long flame erupted from the back of the thing. The specially treated cable was not afraid of fire, and the cannonball dragging the rope rushed straight to the top of the wall at lightning speed, and then suddenly exploded in mid-air, sending out a black rain.

β€œ**! It's a cluster bomb! The gold coin couldn't help but curse.

And don't blame the gold coins. The cannonball dragging the rope exploded, and a bunch of small things were actually thrown, and the gold coin is not a physical attack class, so of course it will be scared. However, the small black dots thrown by the shells did not hit the ground and exploded, but emitted a long series of crashing sounds on the ground. When we settle down, what a sub-bomb this is! The cannonballs were all nails, and behind each nail was a rope end, which was finally gathered together to form a large rope that was connected to the city wall.

I finally understood what this thing was for. These are rope hook guns with rocket range extensions. The walls of Rock City were too high to be thrown with something like a flying claw, and the only thing that could be considered was a rope that could be fired with mechanical force. The Americans were more experienced in this area, so they quickly came up with a special rocket that could launch a rope hook. As for those loose nails, it's all for insurance. Even if a rope hook is hanging on something, once the other party pulls out the rope hook, the person who climbs halfway will inevitably fall to death. But this kind of bullet is different, each end of the rope is connected to a nail, and each nail is driven into the ground, if you want to break the rope, you have to cut the thickest main cable, or cut the rope on those nails one by one, which is very tiring work.

"Oh, are the Americans thinking well?" True Red looked at the ropes that stretched like streamers from the edge of the walls. The entire front of Rock City was roped up for thousands of days almost at the same time, and almost all of them were successfully hung. Like these things, the goddess scatters flowers and shoots rivets randomly, and it is estimated that it is not easy to hang up.

The players and NPCs on our side were shocked at first, but after reacting, they immediately began to desperately cut the rope in front of them, only to find that they kept getting it. These ropes are specially processed, all of them are strong and abnormal, not only are they not afraid of fire, but they also have to cut for half a day to cut several of the rope heads, which has little impact on the main cable.

The American player below noticed that we were cutting the rope and immediately began to climb up the rope in pride. The human body in the game is much better than reality, and even if the level is very low, it is much stronger than the power of the real world, so the thing like climbing the rope is simply not worth mentioning for the player. Seeing the white rope tied to the head of the castle crawling with players one by one, I couldn't help but think of the rats stealing the sesame oil. Thinking of mice, I suddenly had an idea again. Since this rope is not afraid of fire, players are always afraid of fire, right?

The archers first suppressed the enemy climbing up the rope with long-range attacks, and at my command, large quantities of fire oil were quickly sent from within the city and distributed to the various sections of the wall.

The gold coin looked at me suspiciously and asked, "What do you want fire oil for?" ”

"You'll find out right away." I carefully picked up the jar of kerosene, then aimed the exit at the rope and slowly poured it down. I poured it very slowly, and the oil did not drip when it reached the rope, but began to flow down the rope.

An American player who had climbed more than half of the time suddenly found that his hands were greasy, he put his head up and sniffed it, and immediately realized that it was not good, but unfortunately it was too late. I placed a small fireball on the top of the wall against the oil-stained rope, and the flames immediately burned down the oil.

The more than 1,000 ropes that shot at the top of the city wall turned into more than 1,000 arquebuses, and the players who hung on them were all burned and fell, and no one dared to climb the ropes anymore.

"Master Strategist, your plan doesn't seem to work, does it?" The spear god said to the oriental man in an unkind tone.
