Chapter 900: Shelling

The soldiers in Enrique were calm. Because when the lords announced the order of rotation, they realized that it would be a protracted battle to defend the city. Defending the city, on the other hand, often had a small casualty ratio, and for the soldiers at the bottom, they only needed to constantly shoot arrows, throw things, and carry supplies. As long as you don't rush out of the city to confront the enemy, most people will have an indescribable calmness and advantage in their hearts.

Charles II thought the same way. He stood above the city wall, looking left and right, and the corridors on either side were filled with soldiers with bows and crossbows, and at intervals, a mage in a robe. With them, even if the enemy is an elite army, they will have to pay a huge price to get close to the city wall.

What's more, Lord Queo is by his side at the moment. The blazing heat of standing next to the crater made him feel the power from the world's top sequence all the time.

"It's already noon. ”

Charles II squinted straight ahead, "But it looks like they don't even look like they're going to move?"

"As I said, they're just bluffing. ”

Quiao could see more clearly than Charles II, and the gestures of the soldiers from 1,800 meters away could not escape his eyes. But just as he was about to continue laughing, he suddenly stopped, and looked into the distance without making a sound.

"Moves?"

Charles II tried to look, but could only see a vague black dot. He swallowed and glanced back at the inside of the city. The open spaces and roads below the city walls were full of reserve soldiers, and near the gates on the east and west sides were knights leading war horses, because there were so many people that the strong smell of horse manure could be smelled here. However, this smell gave him a sense of security, and the thought of having so many soldiers and knights around him naturally dissipated his fear of the enemy.

"No... They weren't going to attack, but..."

Quiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up, raised his hand to cast a spell, and cast a signal to the mages on both sides to "open the defensive barrier"!

Charles II didn't know why, but the mages who received the signal knew that they should carry out the order, and they all began to cast spells one by one, magic fluctuations and buzzing continued to sound, and a combination of different colors immediately appeared in front of the city wall, and as soon as such an enchantment was formed, a series of collision sounds sounded one after another.

The "crackling" sound startled Charles II, and when he looked closely, he realized that there were many falling black stones on the ground in front of the city walls, and a low muffled sound could be heard in the sky in the distance.

"Bang!"

One of them smashed not far in front of Charles II, but Quiao's defensive barrier was so strong that it bounced off without even a trace - the barrier of the mages on both sides was not as strong, and the barrier of the two low-level mages was pierced on the spot, but fortunately the black stone smashed on the wall, and there were no casualties except for a small piece of rubble.

But such an attack made Charles II nervous. He already had an astonishing guess in his heart at this time, so he hesitated and asked, "This... Could this be Evta's attack?"

Having said that, he couldn't accept this fact in his heart - the most sophisticated ballista on the royal family's side had an effective range of only more than 400 meters. Although the upward shot can reach a distance of 1,500 meters, there is no way to aim at that distance, and the error is extremely large.

Now the distance between the two sides is almost two kilometers, and if the other side can attack the city wall at this distance...

"That's not right..."

Just as he was thinking, Quevo's expression suddenly changed. Charles II looked up and saw a series of lights suddenly flickering in the enemy position in the distance, and a large fast-moving black shadow appeared in the sky in an instant, and it came straight towards him!

"Damn! they tricked me!"

Quiao stood up angrily, Charles II's face was full of doubt, but the next moment, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in his ears - this round of attacks was not a solid calibration shell, but a hedron cannonball with great power!

In an instant, the mage's defensive barrier was in full bloom with a bang, and there were more than one hundred and twenty large-caliber hedron cannons on the Ivota position, and thus began their first cluster fire!

The energy and impact of the hedron explosion made the shields of these mages like fragile glass. Because after the first round of calibration shell adjustments, more than half of the shells in this round of strikes were directly aimed at the city wall, and in front of such weapons, those shield enchantments were blown up and shattered on the spot. And the shock wave that swept after it shook the soldiers and mages on the city wall to the ground.

In this round of fire, most of the shells did not hit the city wall, but exploded on the barrier, so most of the soldiers on the city wall were only knocked down by the impact, and they got up and looked left and right in confusion, asking loudly what was going on.

Because at this moment, basically no one can understand how such an attack happened, or... They still couldn't believe that it was the soldiers two kilometers away from Ivota who did it.

And just when they were confused, the third round of cannonballs fell on the city wall in a cannon sound that had been delayed for several seconds.

Charles II stared blankly in front of him, he felt as if the world in front of him was instantly swallowed by red firelight, and the city wall under his feet seemed to be struck by a giant with a war hammer, even if Quio's shield barrier could not withstand the damage of seven or eight cannonballs directly bombarded, and it shattered at this moment!

Just when he thought he was about to be consumed by the flames, the dragon lord beside him directly activated his flame shield, and the powerful elemental fluctuations and the physical impact of the hedron explosion confronted him, and the unprecedented sense of difficulty made this lord change - because he first discovered... It turns out that as the lord of the dragon clan, he may also be injured in the attack of humans!

The violent impact completely shattered the tents and even the towers above the city walls, and if it weren't for the large range of Quio's shield, Charles II would have become a flying debris at this time.

At the same time, the position in the middle of the city wall that was originally full of soldiers and mages had been completely wiped out by the flames and explosions - neither low-level mages nor high-level mages were spared from such a dense bombardment. The shield was shattered in an instant, and the person's body was completely torn apart by the force released by the hedron burst, and more than fifty people flew directly to the bottom of the city wall in the impact and fell to their deaths, while the entire northern wall of Enrique City collapsed in two sections on the spot...

With the exception of Quiao and Charles II, there were no more than three survivors within fifty meters of the vicinity.

And Quiao had already grabbed Charles II with a spell in the next moment, and floated directly into the air. No sooner had the two men left the city wall than a fourth round of fire swept under their feet - the shells were no longer aimed at the walls and were instead falling into the city.

As if calculated in advance, hundreds of spar shells fell within 20-30 meters behind the city wall, while others extended directly to the sides and smashed near the east and west gates two hundred meters away.

At this moment, Charles II, who was floating in the air, felt like he was in hell.

He stood in the air, looking down on the dense soldiers in his field of vision, engulfed in flames. This sensation dulled people's senses, and Charles II seemed to clearly see the whole process of the explosion of the hedron cannonball - the metal warhead, which was about the size of a helmet, expanded and exploded after landing, and the charged hedron flashed blue light when it released energy... And because the energy is so dense, this light will soon turn into orange or even bright yellow flames, and in the process of spreading, everything will be ignited and destroyed, and everything around it will be shattered...

Charles II saw that the frightened soldiers wanted to escape, but because they were standing too densely and fell in large areas, they desperately stepped on the other people like dehydrated fish and struggled into the distance, but a cannonball fell, and when the fierce fire disappeared, only a charred pit remained on the ground, and within seven or eight meters of the surrounding area, except for the fragments of charred and carbonized corpses, there was not even a moving object left.

A cannonball hit the wall, and the thick, sturdy wall broke off in the middle, and the crumbling stones fell into the crowd, and the heads of several unlucky people were smashed open. The buildings in the city were even more powerless, and a single shell just landed in the middle of the street, and the impact and flames brought by it directly collapsed the three or four houses next to it. The flames spread rapidly, and the entire northern part of the city of Enrique was completely covered by three successive rounds of artillery fire.

Quiao quickly retreated, Charles II, who was dragged together, looked left and right with a dull expression, he saw that a large number of knights gathered on both sides of the place also suffered the same shelling, the enemy's blow was extremely accurate, almost more than half of the shells fell in the area where the soldiers were concentrated, and this also means that Charles II worked hard to gather tens of thousands of soldiers... In these ten minutes, more than half of the direct casualties were imposed.

He could no longer hear the screams of the nobles and soldiers, for his ears were almost deafened by the sound of the explosion.

Why is this happening?

Charles II wished it was just a nightmare of his own, but when Quiao put him in the square in the middle of the city with a gloomy face and began to pace and think, the monarch of the kingdom of Cullen had already understood that it was all over.

Without an army, there is no sovereignty over oneself. Under such an attack, it is unknown how many of those nobles in the city wall area will survive, and the most desperate thing for him is... Not only were the mages blown up on the spot, but even Quio, who was the lord of the dragon clan, had to retreat and avoid its edge.

There was only one question left in his heart now: Is this kind of thing really human beings can do?
