"So the virus has some kind of special contact method, otherwise it can't explain the three virus armies in the west, south, and east acting at the same time, which is a feeling of a dog jumping over the wall. ”

Qin Ge pondered, while calculating how long it would take to take Eldrin Castle, the cavalry of the virus was very troublesome, if it was in the preset position, it could barely resist, but if it was like this movement at this moment, if the enemy had more than 5,000 cavalry attacking from all directions, it would become very tricky.

"Therefore, the cavalry must be established, otherwise the field war will still be very disadvantageous. ”

Just when Qin Ge was thinking about the future military development, the 20,000 interceptors of the virus finally appeared in front of him, and they lined up in an array on a hilly plateau, forming a huge shield array, behind the shield array were a large number of crossbowmen, among which the heavy crossbowmen were the majority, I am afraid that there were more than 5,000.

There is no doubt that the tactical changes of the virus are very flexible, after suffering the loss of the heavy crossbowmen on Qin Ge's side, they immediately changed the corresponding tactics, and would rather postpone the siege, but also seize the time and seize the advantage, and this is still a tailwind, which will increase the range of the crossbow arrows by at least 30 meters.

"Mountain eagle, are you sure?"

Qin Ge stepped forward and asked at this time.

"Lord Lord, there will be no problem, our side has a level advantage, whether it is the soldier's health or attack power, it is far superior to the other party, but there will definitely be some casualties, and the virus will grab a good position." ”

"Then hold on, release the siege crossbow!" Qin Ge said decisively, his crossbowmen are all trained with great difficulty, once they are injured and killed, it will take a long time to recover, rather than this, it is better to wait for a few minutes, and wait for the siege crossbows in the back to come up and destroy them directly and simply!

In her opinion, sacrifice is inevitable, and it is a big deal to let her storm swordsman Qingdun rush forward, and then let the crossbowmen step forward to suppress the rain of arrows, and seize Eldrin Castle a few minutes earlier, so that she can gain more advantages in the next defense battle.

She didn't want Qin Ge to repeat the mistakes of her allies.

But Qin Ge was very cautious, and the mountain eagle was also more cautious, so she simply didn't say anything.

After a full five minutes, the five hunter-level siege crossbows were transported, and then they began to debug, test-fire, and salvo, and fired a salvo at the opposite high ground for a minute, firing a full 450 giant crossbow arrows.

It simply bombarded the virus soldiers on the opposite side and was embarrassed.

Even the magic arrow shooters on the opposite hill and high ground who were specially arrayed there were killed by three or four hundred.

And taking advantage of the suppression of the hunter-level siege crossbows, the mountain eagle commanded the crossbow array to start to move forward, and naturally there were also crossbow arrows flying forward, but the damage was not high, and when it entered the range, the mountain eagle gave an order, and the first row of eight hundred gray-eared heavy crossbowmen fired a salvo, and the virus crossbowman array on the opposite side fell a large piece, the damage was too high, one arrow at a time.

By the time the six rows of crossbowmen fired three rounds in a row, the heavy crossbowmen on the opposite high ground were basically wiped out.

On Qin Ge's side, a total of 7 heavy crossbowmen were killed and 19 were seriously injured, and the losses were negligible.

Then it's simple, the six rows of crossbowmen continue to take turns to fire, where the arrow rain covers, where is the hell on earth, the shield array is useless, and it is shot in a blink of an eye, and the virus army array is in mourning, with heavy casualties.

At this time, the virus lords thought of charging in groups, but they lost the first move, and the 1,250 Silver Mist rangers were waiting, as long as they entered the range of six hundred meters, it would be directly covered by a curtain of arrows like a torrential rain, whether it was a powerful virus hero, a virus lord, or an elite class, there was never an exception.

For five minutes, 20,000 virus soldiers wailed and died on the way to the charge.

It's strange, because in the past, the virus soldiers would run away desperately at the end of the battle, including the virus lord, but now, they know that they are dead, and they are going crazy to rush forward.

"Looks like I've poked the virus in the sore spot this time?"

Qin Ge thought thoughtfully, and while ordering the Mountain Eagle's bow and crossbow troops to continue to advance, he also ordered the female sword saint Changqin to lead the storm swordsmen to take the lead in occupying the eastern wall of Aldrin Castle, and at the same time outflank the virus troops in the west.

The engineering troops of Shanshi followed, and they needed to repair the broken walls in the shortest possible time.

In addition, in another ten minutes, the first virus reinforcements will arrive, but unfortunately they can only eat ashes now, because the ancient castle fortress has already reached Qin Ge's hands.

And until now, there are still more than 3,000 soldiers left behind by other marshals in the city who are stubbornly resisting.

The five thousand soldiers left by the virus only controlled the ruined city wall in the west, and when Qin Ge's army surrounded them, then they could eat them without waiting for the virus's reinforcements to arrive!

As for the virus reinforcements, of course, they will come and destroy the other.

It's just that Qin Ge was thinking like this, and a gray owl scout fell from the sky.

"My lord, about five thousand virus soldiers have withdrawn from the western walls of the fortress and are retreating westward. ”

"What?"

"My lord, the first support force of the Western virus has been put on hold for the time being, and the motive is unknown. ”

"Your Excellency, the Second Support Force of the Southern Virus has been delayed for its motives. ”

"My lord, the Third Support Army of the Eastern Virus has been delayed for its motives. ”

Seeing that he was about to take Aldrin Castle, the scout Grey Owl suddenly sent new information about the battle situation in succession.

Qin Ge was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, there is no doubt that the virus has directly entered the last link in the tertiary reaction mechanism, they are going to work hard, in the next few days, I am afraid that the viruses within a radius of a thousand kilometers, or within a radius of three thousand kilometers, will gather over.

"I think I've stabbed a hornet's nest?"

Don't care what Qin Ge thought before, but at this moment, he did have the idea of retreating, because when the matter came, he would really feel the terrifying pressure.

"Uncle, I hope it won't turn into hard work and busyness, and after the First World War, there will be nothing. ”

Thinking about it, Qin Ge was still happy to stand in front of this desolate and dilapidated ancient castle, even more eerie than the ghost castle.

He was now more curious about what was in this fortress, or rather, what was the point of occupying it?

Open the marshal scroll and find that there is no new information on it, and there is no change in merit.

Rolling it up again, Qin Ge began to look carefully while ordering the troops to enter the key points of the ancient castle.

This castle covers a large area, located on a huge hilly mountain, which is actually a large hill fifty or sixty meters high.

The shape of the castle is not square, but changes with the height of the hills, so it has a sense of hierarchy from the outside.

The castle walls have two floors, and there are protruding round piers in different areas, but they are almost destroyed today.

In addition, this fortress has not known how many years it has existed, even the stones on the city wall have a special black-brown color, Qin Ge picked up a broken sword on the ground and knocked it, and was surprised to find that this stone actually made a unique sound of gold and iron.

"Lord Lord, this is a bronze city brick that has been watered by magic, which can survive hundreds of millions of years without decay or deformation, and this is also the most typical architectural style representing the black-eyed people, but I didn't expect that there would be a castle of the black-eyed people here. ”

The voice of the female sword saint Changqin came from afar, and Qin Ge turned around and saw her walking quickly.

"My lord, I suggest you take a look at the core of the castle, there are some situations that you need to deal with. ”

"Good. Qin Ge nodded, and there was some corner information about the black-eyed people in his mind, very little, only knowing that the black-eyed people were the mortal enemies of the gray-eared people, and the two sides had been at war with each other for countless years, and they had won and lost each other.

After about 800 meters, a square with a diameter of 300 meters suddenly appeared, and in the center of the square, a sparkling white light was very conspicuous.

And this square is connected to a total of four streets, the east street leads directly to the east city wall, and the south street leads directly to the south city wall, which is the road that Qin Ge walked all the way.

On the west side is the wall that leads to the west.

To the north of the square, there is only a two-hundred-metre-long stepped road that leads to a taller, more imposing castle.

The wounded soldiers and dead bodies lying on the ground at this time in the square are all soldiers left by the previous marshals, as for the remaining 3,000 soldiers, who are still on the western city wall, they will recognize Qin Ge's identity as the city lord, and there will be no suspense.

So—

After Qin Ge looked around, he walked straight to the center of the square, he already knew what the situation Changqin was talking about, because through that space-time coordinate, he actually sensed his territory by accident.

What's going on?

Could it be that his territory had already begun to overlap with this ancient fortress?

When Qin Ge approached the space-time coordinates, the light of the space-time coordinates was extremely dazzling, and he could even see the blue hall in the territory through that light, and he could also see the soldiers and Lan Yan and others in the territory.

"Wait, why do territories and fortresses coincide?"

Qin Ge suddenly stopped and frowned, he didn't rule out that he had an extra castle territory, nor did he rule out sticking to this place when the virus army was besieging the city, but he was very resistant to all changes that he didn't know the reason for at all.

From the crab at the beginning, to the spirit of the world, and then to Xiao Qi, he was very disgusted that the changes in the situation were not controlled by himself, at least he had to have a right to know.

So he was extra vigilant about the current situation.

After thinking about it, Qin Ge retracted his steps and retreated.

And as he pulled away, the light on the space-time coordinates returned to its original appearance.

"General Changqin, what do you think of this situation?"

Qin Ge asked.

"I don't know, I haven't seen a powerful teleportation spell used by you when you recruited soldiers before, in the era of the Gray Ear, people with such powerful teleportation spells were the most powerful mages, but such mages don't bother to use ordinary soldiers to defeat the virus, so, I'm sorry, I can't give any insights and suggestions. ”

"I see. Qin Ge nodded, bypassed the space-time coordinates, and went to the northernmost castle.

The city within a city seems to be well preserved, but the whole is dark and gloomy, all the doors and windows are tightly closed, leaving a lot of impact and slashing marks on them, obviously whether it is the virus or the previous friendly forces, they are trying to open the castle, but unfortunately none of them succeeded.

Qin Ge stepped forward and knocked it with his hand, and as he expected, the materials of this castle were also made of bronze city bricks infused with magic power, so manpower could not open it at all.

"My lord, maybe the priestess of the Purple Moon God may have a way to open such a sealed castle, and the worst thing is that she knows what is going on. Changqin suddenly suggested.
