Chapter 344: The Unsolvable Dilemma
Xia He went up to the city wall, and saw the army of the undead pushing a siege cannon in the distance, the siege cannon was very simple, the front was like a big shield, there was a slope behind, there was a track on it, as long as the undead threw a piece of white bone on the track, they would be sent out by a powerful force and fly diagonally. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Looks like some goblin orbital trebuchet that feels like that.
When the white bone encounters the breath of life, it will explode, and it will not hurt the soldiers wearing heavy armor. However, the weather was too cold, and most of the soldiers at the head of the city were wearing heavy leather robes, and the white bone fragments would tear the leather robes apart, and if they were hit a few times, they would be injured. If you see blood, you will definitely be poisoned.
The magicians could only put on the soldiers first, and let some of the soldiers go down to wear heavy armor and prepare for the changing of the guard.
Xia He was summoned back, stood at the head of the city, and saw that the magic fortress below had been completely sealed, leaving only a narrow shooting hole, and he could no longer use large weapons to attack with magic muskets.
The undead will pile up and block the shooting holes with their bodies, and eventually the magic fortress will become an ornament.
The tower in the center of the Enchanted Bastion retracted, closing even the top floor.
Now only the walls of the fortress remain, and the undead begin to attack with impunity. Xia He saw more skeletons, all with sharp bone spurs on their arms, hanging on the walls outside the fortress to climb without stepping on the bones of their companions.
All professionals over level 20 were given a thick magic gun that could hit accurately from a distance of five hundred meters. Xia He took the magic gun, and there was a scope on the barrel, and it was easy to put the target in it, just for a moment.
Magic sights!
Xia He pulled the trigger and saw the target's head explode, killing him with one shot.
The undead are now organized and disciplined, and Xia He received orders to attack the commanders, small leaders, or targets with strong individual strength and threats to the soldiers at the head of the city. This means that it is possible for the undead to climb onto the city and fight the soldiers hand-to-hand.
The fortress cannon in the city, the magic cannon, began to fight back against the siege equipment of the undead.
The caster of the undead surrounds the siege equipment and defends.
Xia He couldn't help it, and began to use ultra-long-range magic to attack those strange things that threw white bones. After trying it a few times, only classic magic will not be stopped. Mastery of magic has only a 20% success rate, and the undead caster's dense spells will destroy the magic that flies away.
The white bones flew in, quite densely, and the frequency of attacks was surprisingly fast.
The soldiers who had replaced the iron armor were also unbearable, and the white bone fragments hit the iron armor with a dull sound. There was a lot of stuff piled up, and it was all poisoned, and the magician had to use wind magic to roll it up and blow it down to the city.
It's a waste of time, it's a waste of magic, and there's nothing you can do.
Now it's up to who can't hold it, after all, the magic cannon and the fortress run plus the magic ballista and the stone thrower, as long as the bombardment is out, the undead spellcaster has to find a way to stop it.
It's just that there are too many of them, much more than the casters in the city.
Fight consumption, human beings can never fight the undead, and now the fortress has lost thousands of people, all of whom are contaminated by the undead toxin, and they have to be killed and purified.
Xia He didn't have many long-range classic magic, but the cooldown time was not long, and after a while, the bone ejection device within two kilometers of his front was damaged by him. Unhurried, the undead pushed new machines in the distance and continued their attack.
This is the desperate thing, a fortress cannot fight against an underworld.
The magic guns had begun to malfunction, and all the magicians who controlled the airship had to get out of the city and return to the alchemy factory to repair the damaged guns with the alchemists.
The real crisis is that the design of the magic gun has not been completed for a long time, and most of the magic guns in the fortress were brought by Snowvis, and a small half were made by themselves based on the materials stored in the fortress.
If the battle continues, the speed of creation will definitely not be as fast as the speed of destruction.
The fortress artillery has also been bombarding for a month, and the speed is getting slower and slower.
If the enemy had not been undead, he would have been bombarded by the fortress and crumbled.
Xia He asked the nearby magicians not to spend their strength to attack the undead who climbed up densely under the city, he himself put a few flame bottles, the flames of the flame bottles, or restrain the evil creatures, the width of hundreds of meters around him, is still very safe. The twenty battle mages under him were simply assigned by him, but they released the flame bottle, which could only control the width of a hundred meters.
However, it was still a two-kilometer-wide line of defense, which took a lot of pressure off the magician.
After repeated refining, the flame bottle is not of high level, has very good attributes, and spews out sparks, which can ignite all combustible objects around it. The low-level undead have no resistance at all, and the high-level undead are the target of the magician's shooting.
It's just that no matter how economical it is, the flame bottle will only put more than a hundred sparks, which is still the flame bottle has been accumulating real fire solution, and has not been used.
Under normal circumstances, this level of flame bottle, accumulated in a day, is only enough to release three or four times. It can also be put all at once.
Of course, other magicians also have powerful equipment, but it is just a drop in the bucket, and the number of undead is like water in the ocean.
Xia He didn't think much about it, strategically it was Snowvis's business, and he was only responsible for the enemy in front of him.
It's just a pity that Freya is not there, if Freya is here, her archery skills can now attack siege machines two miles away.
In the depths of the fortress, one order after another was issued, and the fortress artillery began to no longer deal with the siege machinery, but specifically covered the army of the undead. More bones were thrown onto the city, but the Ironclad Warriors fought back with their magic guns against the blasted bone fragments.
Heavy armor!
Xia He only then discovered that the new heavy armor of the soldiers in the fortress limited the soldiers' ability to move, and if there was no magician to bless the acceleration technique, the movements of these soldiers would be as slow as some undead.
Now the undead are not on the top of the city, just attack with a magic gun, what if the undead come up?
Yes, the puppet, Snowvis wants the puppet to defend the city, and the puppet aims and shoots, although it also has the ability to be autonomous, but it can't judge which one should shoot the best, and often chooses the easiest target to attack, that is, the weakest target.
A magic airship forcibly lifted into the air, and the general stood on the airship with a cold face, he didn't expect the undead to be killed by three legends, and he actually began to attack.
A large airship with a metal disc underneath that throws magical stakes towards the ground and flies around the fortress.
An airship stopped the undead's attack, the magic stake bombarded the ground, the scene was too spectacular, a large number of siege equipment was destroyed, the pressure on the city head was greatly reduced, and more soldiers shot down, and there was no need to worry about being directly hit by the thrown bones.
The tide of the undead receded, and the fortress forcefully dispatched the airship, but the undead did not dare to dispatch the legend this time.
In other words, the people in the fortress can't escape anyway, at most, the legend escapes in an airship, and the undead don't care.
On the ground, only the sparse undead soldiers remained, moving slowly, approaching the city walls, and climbing upwards. The soldiers at the head of the city can only shoot them one by one with magic guns, and there is no way, no matter what, these low-level undead will go up to the city and kill them in hand-to-hand combat.
However, now you can't blame the magic gun for breaking fast, without the magic gun, the soldier would have entered the hand-to-hand combat stage long ago.
At the head of the fortress, there is a protruding fortress that can be shot downward, and the climbing undead have a clear trajectory and can be easily shot.
Xia He was called to the Lilac County King again, and the core members of the County King were also present.
Snowwei's face was a little sad, but his spirit was still good, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he greeted Xia He: "Earl, you are here." ”
"Your Highness. ”
"This time, I want the manufacturing drawings of your Trojan Horse, in exchange for the three drawings of the miniature magic furnace, and of course I also want the design drawings of the flame bottle, you won't refuse, right?"
Xia Hedao: "The drawings of the miniature magic furnace are indeed very precious, but I have the heart to construct a war puppet, in fact, it is much more advanced than the miniature magic furnace. ”
"But it's expensive, the miniature magic furnace doesn't require much material. ”
"But why isn't it popular?"
Xia He's words made all the people in the tower very unhappy, he didn't want to change?
Snowvis frowned, not knowing how to answer, the miniature magic furnace is not popular because of the royal control technology. But if you say this, it really doesn't sound good.
Xia Hedao: "It's better than this, I think His Highness wants to make constructed armor to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers." But the powerful constructed armor must be very expensive. Your Highness wants to make cheap builds, and you want to borrow ideas from my Trojan horse. ”
"Yes. Snowvis replied honestly.
"Then let's design a cheap set of constructed armor for ordinary soldiers. I'll give you the drawings, but forget about the flame bottle, I made it with special materials, and it's impossible to spread it. ”
"Then listen to you, ladies and gentlemen, we must make the soldiers strong enough to fight the high-level undead, and provide a powerful construct armor with its own skills that can be worn by all soldiers. ”
The magicians looked at each other, which was not in accordance with the laws of magic at all.
There will be nothing, cheap and powerful.
Snowvis said: "The current situation is different, we have collected a lot of undead corpses and equipment, refined a large amount of metal, and many materials are simply not spent on money, how much is needed. It may be unstable in terms of attributes, with a lifespan of more than ten years, but this is a large-scale attempt, and if it succeeds, what does it mean?"
Xia He smiled, what Snowvis said was right, in the Shenzhou Empire, a soldier who is about equivalent to a fifth-level professional in this world, wearing power armor, can have the strength of a second-level warrior.
Therefore, the Divine Zhou Empire expanded its territory and ran rampant in the universe of this world.
When the technology reaches a certain level and the cost of all equipment plummets, it is far less cost-effective to train a level 20 warrior than to wear power armor for a level 5 warrior.
