Chapter 460: Black Iron Pass Misses
As Adabisiah's magic was unleashed, the entire underground space suddenly fell silent, and everyone's hearts were like a giant hammer hitting their hearts fiercely, and many people felt a tightness in their chests, and then the earth shook violently.
"Is this the power of the High Priest, the god of darkness and shadow?"
At this time, Lenvidil, who was standing a little unsteady on the ground, asked himself softly. Even if the gray dwarf has a low height and a low center of gravity, it is difficult to ensure the stability of the body under this violent shaking of the earth.
In order to prevent himself from falling, he had to pull a war hammer from his back and put it on the ground to help him stand. But the soldiers next to him did not have such strength, many of them became rolling gourds, and even some of the huge chariots tilted, so frightened that the people around them shouted and fled to the side.
The people on the flat ground behaved so badly, standing on the high walls, and the defenders of the city of Zerata were in great danger. When the earthquake began, the guards knew that this time the Black Iron Pass was in trouble.
"Everyone, be careful, hold on, don't fall off the city!"
As soon as the general finished shouting, he felt the ground shake getting bigger and bigger, and a huge crack appeared on the city wall. He hurriedly lay on the ground, and then pulled out a crystal bright magic dagger from his waist and plunged it into the ground.
But the other soldiers were not so lucky, some of them fell from the city wall screaming, and even the cannons that Sun Li had given them fell a few times, making a loud noise.
It took a while for the defenders of Zerata to slowly rise to their feet on the crumbling walls. Looking at the city wall like a dog gnawing, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel cold.
And outside the city, the high priest Adabiciah, who had unleashed the earthquake technique, had a sinister smile on his lips. He watched the defenders of Zerata City running and shouting on the walls of the Black Iron Pass, and sneered: "This kind of small trick dares to stop my army, it is really beyond my strength, now let you experience what is the power of the High Priest of the God of Darkness and Shadows." ”
With that, he stomped his foot again, and then unleashed the seismology again. This violent shaking made the Black Iron Pass seem to be located on a volcanic crater, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall were thrown down to the city in large numbers, suffering heavy casualties, and the high battlements scattered and fell like knocked blocks.
This time, when the ground stabilized, the defenders on the city walls began to flee in a hurry, and even if the officers stopped them, they could not stop the crowd.
When the third earthquake technique was completed, the Xiongguan that used to stand in front of people's eyes was now in ruins, and only a few brave dungeon creatures were still standing on the ruins, trying to desperately defend the fortress of Zerata City.
On the side of the army of dungeon creatures, General Nedian, who had returned to normal, looked at the excited soldiers and the prepared army next to him, and waved his arm to the attendant officer next to him.
"General order, attack!"
With the shouts of the attendant officer, this order was quickly conveyed by officers at all levels, and the entire army slowly pressed towards the Black Iron Pass.
Shortly after the march of the army, countless magical attacks rose from behind the army of dungeon creatures and struck the walls of the Black Iron Pass.
Adabisiah's seismic technique not only destroyed the walls of the Black Iron Pass, but also completely destroyed the magic defense array in front of the Black Iron Pass.
Without the protection of these defensive magic arrays, the long-range magic attacks of the dungeon creatures easily passed through the space of both sides, striking the walls of the Black Iron Pass. Immediately, flames erupted like volcanic eruptions on the ruins of the Black Iron Pass, and with each flash of fire, the screams of the defenders continued to be heard, and with the light of the magic explosion, the dungeon creatures in the distance could even see the black shadows that had been blasted into the sky.
"General, we can't hold it, let's retreat quickly. ”
Not far from the Black Iron Pass, the guard of the Black Iron Pass was standing on the ground with one arm hanging at this time. He saw the black iron wall that was being attacked, and his eyes showed incomparable resentment, and at this time, one of the attendants beside him whispered.
"If we give up the Black Iron Pass, there will be the city of Zerata behind us. ”
The general was furious at his men's suggestion.
"But General, your arm is already wounded. Our army suffered heavy losses and was demoralized. If we fight them to the death, we're all going to die here. The city of Zerata is underguarded, and we can do our best if we withdraw to the main city. ”
Hearing the words of the attendant, he saw that the enemy's magical attacks were becoming more and more fierce, and when he looked around for a week, he saw those gray-faced and unmotivated men, he gritted his teeth and said, "Order the troops to retreat quickly, and bring back as many weapons as possible." ”
After receiving the order, the defenders of Zerata immediately retreated towards Zerata, and although they gathered their weapons, there was no way to snatch them from the weapons on the Black Iron Pass, because the vanguard of the Dungeon Creatures had already climbed the ruins of the city walls.
Half an hour later, the banners of the dark elves and gray dwarves fluttered on the ruins of the Black Iron Pass, and a large number of soldiers were constantly crossing the walls of the Black Iron Pass.
"That's their weapon?"
At this point, General Nedion looked at a thick pipe in front of him and asked the gray dwarf next to him.
The Grey Dwarves are excellent craftsmen, and naturally they are more familiar with technology than the Dark Elves, so they immediately sought out what they considered important weapons and equipment. And this bronze cannon was painstakingly pulled out of the ruins under the city walls.
"Yes, General Nadian, that's their weapon. According to my research, this is a weapon that can use explosions to eject objects far away. ”
The Grey Dwarf Craftsman said.
"Did you find the potion you needed to launch this weapon?"
As for the trick of artillery, General Nedian quickly thought of the key and hurriedly asked.
Unfortunately, the gray dwarf shook his head and replied, "Our attack has completely destroyed the city wall, and even with this potion, it is estimated that it has been detonated." We worked hard for a long time, and only found some spherical shells and these bronze tubes. That's it, most of them have also been damaged, this is one of the most complete. ”
"It's a pity. ”
General Nedion sighed as he kicked the clumsy barrel with his foot.
"It's okay General, we have the idea that we can make our own potion and also use this tube to fire spherical shells. ”
At this time, the gray dwarf finally brought good news to the general.
"That's great, I'll try it right away. ”
When General Nedion heard this, his face was ecstatic.
Be aware that in this world, ranged attacks can now only use weapons such as magic and trebuchets. However, the use of magic requires a lot of mana, the number of mages is very limited, and the range of trebuchets is too close for the artillery of Zerata City, and the exchange of fire is completely passive. If you have stronger equipment, you will have more confidence in attacking Zerata City.
After another thirty minutes or so, everyone was overjoyed to see the target that had been smashed in the distance. The power of this artillery is beyond their imagination.
"Very good, we need to equip more of this weapon, which can effectively improve our long-range strike capabilities and save our mana. ”
Adabisia also came, and encouraged the craftsmen after the test.
At this time, Augusta came over and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's a pity that the process of making this kind of artillery is very complicated, and we haven't mastered the method of making alloys for the time being. Moreover, there are a lot of materials needed to make artillery, and we have no way to produce them immediately, so we will not need them for the time being to attack Zerata City. ”
"Oh?
There was a look of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly lifted his spirits and said, "With or without new weapons, we're going to take down Zerata and make the dungeon guys scared!"
