Chapter 759: Provocation
Is there a weakness in the Rune Defense Array?
If you want to say that kind of door-like existence, there is no such thing as an entire barrier. The elements flowed evenly in every corner of the formation, and no matter which direction was attacked, it could quickly resist. But...... This doesn't mean that Benjamin can tolerate enemy forces probing the enchantment at will.
The church should also have some research on runes, not to mention cracking them, in case they deduce the principle of the rune defense array and steal this technology, it will definitely not be tolerated!
"You guys take people and kill them all. So Benjamin didn't hesitate to speak.
The soldiers on the side were stunned, and they hadn't even reacted to the other party's intentions at this moment. However, because of Benjamin's high reputation at the moment, the mages defending the city nodded one after another, jumped forward, and quickly flew downward.
Benjamin also came to the place where the formation was controlled, opened a small opening in the barrier, and just let the dozen mages fly out.
"What...... What are you going to do?"
With the flying flames, before the hundred-man team of the Horry Kingdom could react, a small half of them were burned to death. Seeing this, the rest of the people could only give up testing the rune defense array, throw away their armor, and run towards their camp in a hurry.
- These people are death squads who exchange their lives for information, and they don't have much combat power, so it's definitely impossible to fight Ikor's mages head-on.
They're able to run one by one.
Seeing this, the mages who flew out were also accelerating, and they subconsciously wanted to chase forward. Benjamin hurriedly opened his mouth and called them back.
"Don't chase it, there are too many priests over there, come back quickly!"
In his senses, he could see that there were already many priests waiting to answer the camp. Obviously, the hundred-man squad may have been studying the rune defense array, but it was also a decoy for provocation.
Alerted, the mages braked and quickly returned to Rock City. The small opening in the barrier then closed, and the priests in the camp of the Hori Kingdom couldn't help but show a look of disappointment when they saw this.
However, they don't seem to be giving up.
"Anyway, you're the dean of the Academy of Magic, why are you so timid as a little girl when you look at the past now?"
A moment later, several priests suddenly flew out of the camp on the opposite side and slowly leaned into Locke City. Utterances full of mockery came from afar after being amplified by the divine magic.
...... is coming, the most classic scolding part of siege warfare.
Benjamin wasn't angry, but felt like a mirror.
"Ignore them. He waved his hand to calm the restless soldiers and mages on the side, and said, "Hold on well, if they come to test the rune defense array again, just drive them away, don't chase them out." Don't fall for their tricks, we stay in the city, which is the biggest headache for them. ”
After saying that, he simply ignored the shouting of the priests, turned around, and left directly from the city wall.
In this case, they must calm down, even if the other side brings him women's clothes, he has to yawn when he doesn't see it. As a defender, he had to be prepared for this kind of inferior agitation.
Outside the city, the priests continued to sneer for a while, and when Benjamin did not react, they also went back in a huff.
"What? doesn't work?"
In the camp, General Pres looked at the priests who had returned empty-handed, and couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.
"We've already said that guy is a demon, how can he be provoked so easily?" said the priest coldly, "General, let's plan for the siege of the city, and don't always think about these useless things." ”
"Really, what about the information on the rune defense array, and what did the people you sent find?"
“......”
Several priests were again questioned speechless.
"Don't think my methods are not good-looking. The general glanced at them disdainfully and said, "Go ahead, provoke a few more times, and they may react." Don't be idle, you have to get me the information I want sooner or later. ”
When the priests heard this, they looked at each other with a somewhat helpless expression.
In this way, from this evening until late at night, the shouting and scolding outside Locke and the probing archery team never disappeared.
The army of the Kingdom of Horry adopted a very rogue attitude. They constantly sent people to the vicinity of the barrier, using attacks to test the changes of the elements in defense, and once the mages in Locke City chased them out, they turned around and ran, and the mages defending the city were also anxious.
To be honest, at this point, Benjamin no longer thinks that the church can research anything from the rune defense array, it is purely disgusting. This style of work is really inconsistent with the old church, and they have no other way but to endure it for the time being.
Luckily, others are supposed to sleep, too. In the middle of the night, the provocations finally ceased, and the people of Locke City could finally get a good night's sleep.
The next day.
“...... It's on, and the gang is going to come for real. ”
The executive prime minister stood at the head of the city, looking at the troops gradually gathering outside the city, his face solemn.
Yesterday, the army of the Hori Kingdom had just come over, and the soldiers were tired, so they only used the Holy Light Cannon to carry out a round of tentative attacks. And after the night had passed, and they had rested, the real siege of the city was about to begin.
"What to worry about, they dare to attack, and the trap we have prepared is not vegetarian. Benjamin shrugged his shoulders and said with a normal expression.
The president nodded in agreement.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers and mages have been gathered on the city wall. Wooden stakes, rolling stones, boiling water...... These things have been prepared for a long time, and the terrain of Rock City is already high, even if the rune defense array is broken, it will not be so easy for the enemy army to rush up.
In this way, when the sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky, the horn of the charge sounded in the camp of the Hori Kingdom.
Woo——!
General Pres raised his sword at the front of the line.
"Soldiers, in order to fulfill the glorious divine will, in order to purify the evil mage, rush!"
An earth-shattering roar rang out, and the cavalry in the front row clenched their spears and charged towards Rock City first. Immediately after that, ordinary soldiers all over the mountains rushed up, carrying a total of a dozen huge stakes to charge the city, and ran forward after the cavalry.
Countless priests flew in the air, looking from a distance, like a huge tide of bats, flying towards Rock City with the soldiers below. At the end of the line, the Holy Light Cannon was set up again, obviously about to launch a terrifying attack towards the rune defense array as it had done yesterday......
Looking at the scene in front of him, Benjamin couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What a big deal...... Does the Church still want to brew the strongest offensive and directly break through the defenses of Locke City?
Thinking so, he suddenly let out a cold snort.
"All the mages obey the order, pour all the elements you can summon into the rune defense array!" Benjamin's face was as cold as an icy iron halberd, "If they want to collide, then let them hit their heads and break the blood!"
