Chapter 313: Casualties
After today's battle, no one dared to underestimate the Death Legion with such a relaxed attitude as a few days ago, but they also gained a lot, especially in terms of level, almost everyone involved in the defense has improved by leaps and bounds, Haoren has jumped from level 40 to level 44 again, and Tang Lin, a violent gunner, has also reached level 40.
That night, Gu Yingyue rushed over from southern Anhui Province through the magic teleportation array, insisting on helping Glory participate in the defense, accompanied by several masters of the free team, although they kept saying that they wanted to help their allies fight the enemy, but everyone knew very well in their hearts that they were aware of Haoren's rocket-like upgrade speed in the level, so they came over.
The sixth day of fighting began at three o'clock in the morning, and the skeletons could not wait to attack. It was still the oversized skeletons that made the way in front, followed by medium-sized skeletons, but the number of ordinary skeletons was relatively reduced, and they were replaced by larger ranged troops.
And there are also a lot of large skeletons in the skeleton mage troops, they wield Bai Sensen's bone staff, constantly releasing various spells against the city wall, the spell level has also been raised from bronze to silver, all kinds of bursting fireballs and ice pinnacles are whistling in the sky, colorful spells almost obscuring the sky, and the other party does not care about the consumption of magic power at all.
If the mage repeatedly overdraws the magic power to release magic, it will greatly reduce the life until death, although the opponent is an undead legion, but there is also a magic limit, and even the total magic power of the skeleton mage is generally much lower than that of humans, and once it is exhausted, it will die on the spot.
But the Legion of Death doesn't care about this attrition at all. When a mage dies, there are often four or five new skeleton mages to fill in, and they are completely unafraid of the human side.
Gu Yingyue saw this spell flying in the sky, and immediately turned pale, if it was just a single silver spell, with her combat power, she could easily shoot it down with superb archery skills in mid-air, but the number of spells was too much, so many that it was completely beyond the reach of manpower.
Once again, insulating ore walls played a key role. The magic in the sky vanished in an instant. Gu Yingyue, who didn't know the truth, was like returning to heaven from hell, and she exhaled turbid breath with palpitations, and then looked around, and found that the people who were glorious all looked strange.
"That's a lot of good stuff for this guy!" Gu Yingyue muttered and glared at Haoren. She also noticed the oddity of the wall. But even if she wants to break her head, she can't understand the principle. Insulating ore does not currently exist on Earth, and can only be produced in the alien space of wormholes.
But Haoren and the others were also more worried in their hearts, and they went down according to the progress of the skeleton mage. I'm afraid that in a few days, higher-level skeletons capable of using golden magic will appear.
"If it's gold magic, will our insulating ore still be able to hold it?" Qin Yang asked in a low voice.
"The absorption of insulating ore is against everything, and gold magic can naturally do it, but the absorption of insulating ore is maximized, and the attacks in the past few days, our city wall is estimated to be almost saturated, if there is gold magic, I'm afraid it will ......."
There is no such thing as an absolutely invincible thing in this world, and the same is true of the insulated walls, if the strength of the skeleton mage's magic bombardment exceeds a certain limit, it can also break through the walls, causing huge casualties to glory.
"When the time comes, use the magic cannon!" Haoren made up his mind.
With the help of the insulated walls, the situation was greatly controlled today, and the siege mode of the Death Legion was similar to yesterday, still using oversized skeletons as shields to reach the foot of the city with glorious fierce attacks, and then used as ladders for other skeletons.
After yesterday's battle, everyone also knew how to deal with it, which was to kill the oversized skeletons first, and if other skeletons were allowed to climb the city wall, it would inevitably increase casualties.
Haoren and other hero professions played a major role in it, especially the addition of super combat power like Gu Yingyue, which far exceeded the killing effect of ordinary people on super-large skeletons, and was even much more effective than those high-level magic towers.
In this way, the Death Legion continued to attack for 20 hours a day, which lasted for three days, and when the entire siege entered the tenth day, according to statistics, the number of skeleton soldiers lost by the Death Legion had exceeded 12 million.
Glory casualties are about 6,000 people, including more than 100 heroic professions, most of these people died in the past few days on the attack on the super large skeletons, several times the situation is very critical, more and more skeletons follow them to climb the city wall, and Haoren is not skilled, it is impossible to take care of all corners at the same time.
At this time, there are often several hero classes who resolutely jump from the city, and then fire with full firepower, throw all the big skills over, and forcibly kill the super large skeleton in the shortest time.
However, when all their skills were in the cooldown, the other skeletons swarmed up, even though they were very powerful as a hero class, facing the siege of tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers, after resisting for dozens of seconds, their figures were still drowned in a sea of white skeletons.
They have exchanged their sacrifices for the safety of Hope City so far, Haoren was stunned for a long time after learning about it, at this moment he once again felt how small his strength was, in the continuous upgrades, his combat power has approached eighty thousand, which is already a very remarkable combat power number, but in the face of the skeletal army like a sea tide, he can still only watch his companions, watching his teammates resist with their own flesh and blood.
With the sharp increase in casualties, grief hangs over the entire city of hope, those who died under the long-range archers are fine, at least a complete corpse, their relatives or companions can at least carry them down, but those heroes who jumped off the city can't even find the whole corpse.
Every day there were people who wept gloomily, and when a new offensive began, they wiped away their tears, clenched their weapons and went back into battle. As a sub-profession, in addition to providing a large amount of food or medicine, according to Haoren's latest requirements, they will register the names of the dead every day, at least so that the people of Hope City will know their existence and know that there was such a group of people who had fought for Hope City.
Gu Yingyue and the others went back first, because just a day ago, an urgent message came from Wannan Province, and they found that the super mutant beast was heading towards their city, and as the head of the free regiment, she had to take people back. Before leaving, Gu Yingyue gave Glory a few gifts by the way, a hundred moon ballista cars.
"This month's ballista is a blueprint I found in a wormhole exploration, it is a product of magical civilization, it is said to be an elven thing, it is very powerful, it is engraved with a wind magic array, and the biggest feature of the moon ballista is that the moon blade launched has a catapult effect, for the sea of skeletons, I think it will be the best weapon!" Gu Yingyue said.
"Catapult!" Haoren's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he said sincerely: "Gu Yingyue, thank you!" If I hope that the city can defend the pull-down, I will go to Wannan Province to help you get rid of that super mutant beast! ”
Gu Yingyue suddenly said angrily: "You also underestimate us too much, is it not because of you, we will definitely lose?" Hum! ”
……
In any case, the amount of input from the moon ballista still reduces their pressure, the moon ballista launches a crescent-shaped moon blade, the moon blade is extremely sharp, although it does not carry any magic enchantment, but the magic array engraved by the wind system increases the speed, and the high-speed impact is enough to deal with these skeletons, after hitting the first skeleton soldier, the moon blade does not disappear, but turns sideways, and quickly spins to the side, followed by the second and third ...... It took about a hundred spins before disappearing.
"There are so many good things about ancient civilizations!" Qin Yang sighed.
"Actually, the effect is average, after all, the power is limited, it's okay to deal with ordinary skeleton soldiers, and if it's a little more powerful, the power can be negligible." Haoren's implication is that Gu Yingyue will generously give them the moon ballista.
Qin Yang immediately cried and laughed, but there is always better than nothing.
As they had originally expected, on the 11th day of the attack, a larger skeleton finally appeared in the skeleton mage troops, and the soul flames in their eyes were close to red, which was the beginning of their initial self-awareness, and also indicated that their strength was beginning to be infinitely close to that of true dark creatures.
After these skeleton mages had swung their staffs and performed a strange ritual, a dull sound from the sky, a piercing and low whistling sound approaching from the top of the vault.
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and Qin Yang exclaimed in a low voice: "Could it be a fire meteor?" ”
"No, it's not!" Sun Wan shouted, "It's the Flame Explosion Technique!" It is known as the most powerful single magic in fire-type gold magic! ”
As soon as the words fell, a blue meteor dragged the orange fire whistling and slammed into the insulating wall, and in the violent roar, the people at the head of the city reopened their eyes in horror, and they were not harmed except for the dust.
The power of the Flame Burst Technique was still absorbed by the insulated city wall, but Haoren's face was gloomy, and the Flame Burst Technique was not completely absorbed until it finally hit it, and the previous spell would be invisible as long as it was close to ten meters.
"Are you really about to reach your limit?" Qin Yang looked at Hao Ren worriedly, and on the other side, the skeleton mages started a new ritual move, another characteristic of the Flame Explosion Technique was that the cooldown time was very short!
"Use the magic cannon!" Haoren exhaled and said slowly. (To be continued......)
