Next, Aramis was welcomed into the stronghold.

Of course, after the wound on his face was treated urgently, he was firmly tied up and placed next to Luo Ming for him to take care of himself.

Although the letter of nomination he sent was not insignificant, whether it was the Beran people or the cannon fodder who heard his words, they must have had strange ideas.

But Luo Ming will not trust him immediately.

If the other party is really a ruthless person, who dares to risk his life and mock the king and army commander of the Beran Federation like this, he will also infiltrate the stronghold and cooperate with the outside world...... It's not entirely impossible.

After all, the benefits of breaking through this stronghold on the mountain are indeed very great, so big that Luo Ming can forgive him even if he is scolded in his shoes.

Being scolded can win a tough battle, who doesn't do this kind of good thing?

Putting the captive's preemptive aside, let's keep an eye on the general situation - and then, almost half an hour of garbage time.

In other words, the pointless attacks and defenses continued, and the attackers did not achieve any major results, while the number of casualties continued to accumulate.

If it was to use cannon fodder to consume the physical strength of Luo Ming's soldiers, he could only say that the other party thought too beautifully.

Luo Ming's musket is hundreds of years ahead of the earliest muskets on Earth, and the early muskets on Earth are inferior in range and accuracy to crossbows, but it is not for nothing that it has been able to survive tenaciously and gradually grow and progress.

Even the earliest primitive muskets were more labor-intensive than crossbows - no matter how hard the bow and crossbow were wound, it was very physically demanding, while the musket could shoot as long as it was poured with gunpowder, poured into it, stuffed into the projectile, and ignited.

Although the steps are a little more cumbersome, any step is much less laborious, and can be used even by people who have not specifically exercised their arm strength, and it is an exaggeration to say that adult men without any military training can do it, but it is just a little slower.

Luo Ming roughly estimated that a normal soldier turned into a musketeer could fire seventy or eighty times in a row before he got tired, and some people could even hit 120 rounds.

If the enemy is really pouring in like a tide, it will be fine, and now the stronghold is on the mountain, and the people below have to climb up with great difficulty, which is not efficient, and it is basically a tactic of adding fuel and sending it in waves.

A few minutes of rest can be obtained by firing for a while, so that the musketeer is expected to last for several hours if he "combines work and rest".

Moreover, there is a group of people brought by Luo Ming under the wall to replace him, and if the enemy only keeps attacking at this rate, he can hold it until tomorrow morning.

He went to the top of the mountain to transport another batch of gunpowder, and now he still had six hundred kilograms in reserve, which was quite enough, and the enemy did not necessarily have so many lives to send.

But is the other party really that stupid?

If he were faced with an average enemy, Luo Ming might have thought so.

But in any case, the other party is also an army that dares to invade the Duchy of Lothar, and it is relatively elite among the regular army, and it may be a little undisciplined, but its decision-making level is by no means lacking in wisdom, and it is impossible for all to be fools who will not learn a lesson.

Well, there must be a special purpose for such a delay.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to order Ariana to order her to order the soldiers on the opposite hill to turn the lights of the lighthouse around.

From Luo Ming's point of view, the lighthouse's pillar of light slowly began to move, but in fact its speed surpassed that of the fastest galloping horse, after all, every centimeter adjusted on the lighthouse was actually enough to make the pillar of light move more than a few meters in the distance.

In less than a minute, the light of the lighthouse had moved to the foot of the mountain, illuminating a large area.

Luo Ming didn't rush out of the stronghold to the edge of the cliff to look down, but Yaliana had no problem, although she was hundreds of meters away from the cliff here, but she directly blessed herself with an eagle eye technique, and with the telescope, she could see clearly.

"Luo Ming, someone over there has built an earthen wall halfway up the mountainside, and there are about a dozen spellcasters hiding there sneakily. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Luo Ming's mouth twitched.

He didn't expect that these Belan spellcasters would be so desperate...... I don't know how they made a detour or mixed in with the crowd to get to the bottom of the mountain, but they must have taken advantage of the darkness of the night.

However, these spellcasters themselves are secretly scolding their mothers in their hearts.

Yes, spellcasters are very expensive, but there are always relatives and relatives in the entire mage group, and some spellcasters are also retainers brought by military leaders or hired privately, but they are only used intensively.

Specifically, there are some casters who have a bad relationship with other spellcasters, who are withdrawn, or who have been sold by the military leaders, who are forced to come forward to this dangerous place.

Of course, there is also a fool who covets the high bounty of this mission, but the other spellcasters are forced to come.

When Luo Ming knew that there were more than a dozen spellcasters over there, he was already vigilant, and quickly decided to mount his horse and rush over there with a team of people.

The artillery will also be replaced with shotguns, and a preventive round will be fired in that direction to prevent the enemy from blocking his tracks.

However, after being illuminated by the lighthouse, the casters were already aware of their exposure and knew that the enemy could rush at any time, so they started to act in advance.

A small piece of ground was leveled, and a magic circle was carved into it, and special grease was poured into the grooves that made up the magic circle, which became a good conductor of magic power.

The casters work together around this magic array, and each of them does not need to build a complete spell structure, but only needs to work hard to perfect a part, and these parts together become a powerful spell.

"Let the ruggedness become flat, and let the ravines become the thoroughfare!"

With a shout from the priest presiding over the circle, the magic flowed out, altering the structure of the surrounding earth and rock.

In the next moment, a trail that had been difficult to climb with the help of many foreign objects squirmed and slowly became flat, and several rocks across the path were either covered with mud or corroded, shrinking little by little.

At this moment, Luo Ming had already arrived here, and he already understood the situation at the first glance, and smiled angrily.

With a wave of his hand, he threw two grenades and exploded halfway up the mountainside, although they did not hit the mages who were protected by the earthen wall, but they also injured some of the soldiers who were guarding them, and succeeded in attracting their attention, causing a commotion in an instant.

In the next moment, Luo Ming's body and sword were united, like a flash of lightning flying down!
