Section 523: Fierce Battle
"All to all"
A large number of hurried footsteps approached from outside the city, and after a while, they reached the vicinity of the outer city wall, and the true face of the attacking troops was clearly seen, it was a mixed army.
There were a mixture of orcs, barbarians, and humans in this army, and at a cursory glance, there were no less than three hundred people in the open field of view near the city walls, and I didn't know how many troops were hidden in the dense woods behind.
The team was not divided into different ranks because of the different races, the barbarians were scattered all over the team, each barbarian held a huge shield, held high in the air, and blocked the people around him, and from the sky, it looked like a field of weeds with many mushrooms growing up, and the mushroom cap blocked the weeds that were not very high.
This is to fend off the rain of arrows from above the city walls.
In order to resist the most feared rain of arrows, there was a faint yellow light floating above this unknown unit, which was the arrow protection, and the shields scattered all over the team formed a cross-defense measure, and the protection was even stronger.
But these measures seem to have been done for the blind to see.
Until the vanguard of this team had already entered the breached city gate, there was no rain of arrows above the city walls.
Seeing this scene, the wolf-headed orc standing in a dark corner outside the city snorted coldly.
"Hmph, and how powerful this newly emerged force is, now it seems that that's it. They were afraid that they were already frightened and had not yet reacted, so they did not even arrange archers. In this way, we don't need to use all our forces, and the vanguard alone will be enough to take this place. ”
The male elf was sitting on the ground beside him, and he also raised his neck to look in the direction of the battle line ahead, but his face was not as relaxed as that of the wolf-headed orc, but he frowned. Now hearing the wolf-headed orc's words, he immediately responded, "Do you think that a force that can build such a wall in three months will be as unbearable as you say? ”
The wolf-headed orc asked rhetorically, "Then what do you say is weird? Maybe they do have some strength in construction and production, but in terms of combat, they are really not very good." But that's fine, when we take the land and take those people prisoner, we can turn them into our best workers. With such a place and these skilled workers, Hiham's strength pattern may begin to change at that time, hahahaha......"
The wolf-headed orc couldn't help but laugh happily at the thought of a wonderful future.
The male elf was frowning, but he just stretched his neck and looked in the direction of the doorway in front of him.
He was always uneasy, and he always felt that he had overlooked, but in fact the tide of battle did tilt in their favor.
After the vanguard entered the city gates, the follow-up troops continued to pour out of the trees in the rear. Because there was no expected air attack, the speed of the troops' advance was very fast, but because the city gate was a battlefield, the two sides were fighting, and they had not yet taken it, so the troops in the rear could not advance for the time being, and could only block near the city gate, and there were already four or five hundred people blocking near the city gate.
"The gates haven't been taken yet?"
The male elf suddenly asked.
The wolf-headed orc glanced at the other side from a distance, and said: "This is going to ask you, didn't you say that this spell can not only open the city gate, but also kill all the people around you by the way? However, with Cliffor, I believe it won't be long before the gates are taken. ”
Unbeknownst to the wolf-headed orc, the Clifford he spoke of was in a stalemate at the moment.
The wolf-headed orc, who had been pinned on by the wolf-headed orcs, was also an orc, with an unusually terrifying rat head, red eyes, and a mace in his hand that was wrestling with a guy in front of him whose face was written in the ancient language "Kill your whole family".
Not only could Cliffor not be able to defeat this guy for a while, but judging by the situation, he himself was at a disadvantage, and he was only able to parry by his opponent's long sword, and his mace had been cut off several spikes, which showed the sharpness of the opponent's weapon.
Not only Cliffor, but all those who made it to the gates were in a bitter battle.
The number of Star Sea warriors in the city wall is not large, only a few dozen or so, but the city gate is not large, although the number of those attacking troops is large, but there are only dozens of people squeezed into the city gate.
These warriors in the sea of stars are all tattooed, of different races, all of them are strong in martial arts, and their weapons are even sharper.
And at this moment, suddenly there was a series of loud noises outside, followed by the shaking of the ground, all kinds of screams.
What happened?
The people who were fighting at the city gate did not know, but the people outside could see it clearly.
The male elf saw that the ground near the city gate suddenly exploded in a large area, blowing up the troops standing on it!
The explosion was dense and fast, stopping in a few seconds at most, and after the explosion, the sight of the sight made the male elf's eyes widen, and the wolf-headed orc's eyes were split.
The four or five hundred people who had lined up alive before to enter the city were now mostly dead.
The ground that was flat before seemed to have been reclaimed in a large area, and most of the people who stood on it before had become corpses, and many of them were the kind with different heads, with pieces of flesh everywhere and blood flowing everywhere, and only a few lucky people survived the explosion, but they were also seriously injured, and could only crawl on the ground, making a miserable cry for help.
The strong smell of blood wafted away.
More than 400 people, just in such an instant, all of them were gone?......
"Let those mages of your hurry up and do it!
The wolf-headed orc's eyes turned red, and he yelled at the male elf angrily, and he raised his hand, grabbed his weapon in his hand, and howled in the sky, "Kill!"
He roared, and this time he didn't stand still and watch, but kicked the ground, jumped out of the woods, and ran towards the city gate.
When the follow-up troops saw the scene in front of them, they were stunned by this terror, and they didn't dare to step forward for a while, but after seeing the wolf-headed orcs rushing out first, they also rushed forward, especially a team composed entirely of wolf orcs, which rushed to the front.
The wolf-headed orc rushed quickly, and it didn't take long for him to rush to the city gate, and then he also saw the scene inside the city gate.
The vanguard in the city gate is not the opponent of these Star Sea warriors, and there is no follow-up personnel to replenish, it is simply one less dead, and after a while, there is only one person left.
The last one left is Cliffor.
This guy who had high hopes from the wolf-headed orcs did have some ability, and Monroe fought with him for a long time, but he couldn't kill him except after leaving some scars on his body. If he continued to fight normally, Monroe might have to fight him for a while longer before he could decide the winner, but although Monroe was given the title of knight by Norman, he was not a real knight.
When the men in the city gate killed fewer and fewer people, the free sea warriors would go to help the other companions, and when only Cliffor was left, this good habit also carried forward.
They didn't look stupid and besieged it directly.
Clifford just couldn't beat any of them in the face of Monroe, let alone so many people besieging him together? The scars on his body were increasing rapidly in seconds, and finally Monroe took advantage of the gap where he was busy dealing with others, and cut off his head with a straight sword.
"Cliffor!"
The wolf-headed orc, who had already rushed to the gate of the city, happened to see this scene, roared wildly, and rolled in with his big mace, and his body was also glowing with white light.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Seeing this, Monroe's heart sank, and he shouted, and took the lead to meet him, and the others rushed over one after another.
At the same time, several people flew silently in the woods outside the city.
They were dressed in black, it was difficult to see clearly under the cover of the night, and after flying to a height of more than 100 meters, they did not fly towards the sea of stars, but just drifted in place and chanted a spell - the reason why they flew so high was because they wanted to see the general situation inside the city wall clearly, so that they could cast spells and select targets in a targeted manner, and why they didn't get closer, they were also afraid that they would be attacked if they got close.
The mages of the attacking troops began to move, and the mages of the Sea of Stars were not idle.
When the mages led by Xiu arrived on the scene, they ran wildly on the city walls—yes, they were still faster than their simplified flying arts.
The mages were fast-paced, and it didn't take long for them to run to where they wanted to go.
It was the arrow tower on the city wall.
The arrow tower is not big, but it is very strong and impermeable, leaving only a few archery openings, which feel unbreakable at a glance.
On this wall to the west, there are three such towers.
Inside the arrow tower, there were already warriors from the Sea of Stars, with bows and arrows at hand, but the strange thing was that they did not pick up the bows and arrows, but just looked out from the mouth of the arrow, motionless, and did not know what they were looking at without archery.
There are two archers in each arrow tower, a warrior who protects them, the archers are looking outside in a daze, and the warriors are turning their backs to them, looking in the direction inside, and they all move when they see someone coming in, but after seeing who the other party is, they all put down their weapons - there are too few people in the Star Sea, even fewer people from the army and the Ministry of Magic, and they basically know each other.
Once inside, the mages moved swiftly to the middle, lifted the table in the tower, and clasped a small loop on the floor to pull the floor apart, revealing a metal plate underneath.
The metal plate is carved with intricate lines, hollowed out in the middle, with a small square hole.
Seeing the metal plate, the mage moved his hand, took out a metal block half the size of a palm from his waist, and stuffed it into this small hole, which happened to be exactly the same. After that, the mage sat down, sat down on the metal plate, and began to recite the incantation.
In the three arrow towers, they are all in the same situation, the movements are uniform, there is no pause and hesitation, and it looks like they have been trained many times.
When the mages' incantations had been chanted for a long time and were almost finished, the black-clad mages outside the city flew into the sky, and at this time, the archers in the arrow tower, who had ignored the fierce battle below, finally moved.
They hold bows, draw arrows, aim, and shoot.
After a round of shooting, there was a scream in the distance, and a mage flying in the air fell in free fall, but several other mages were immobile in the air, but they couldn't help but be a little surprised in their hearts: they were all experienced, so they all flew up with some protective mages, and it stands to reason that bows and arrows are not effective against them at all, but they didn't expect someone to be shot down!
However, they didn't suspect that the unlucky guy was careless enough to fly into the sky without casting protective spells, because they had also seen that the arrows shot at the city wall had caused those protective spells on their bodies to fluctuate strongly, and even glow with an abnormal luster.
It's not just an arrow, it's a demon-breaking arrow with magic attached!
Of course, the so-called Demon Breaker is also relative, at least it can't penetrate these protective spells on their bodies, but this is already terrifying, after all, the Demon Breaking Arrow is very precious, and they really haven't seen anyone equip the archers defending the city with such expensive weapons and equipment.
I have long heard that this newly emerging force is very rich and is buying and buying everywhere, but now I have seen it.
However, these mages obviously did not have a good understanding of the wealth of the Nakshatra Sea.
After one more round of shooting, the archers had changed to another type of demon-breaking arrow! And under this new demon-breaking arrow, another mage screamed and fell.
How rich!
This is the psychological feeling of these mages who are attacking, and then they are worried that the other party will keep changing until they are all shot down. However, their worries were unwarranted after all, and those archers did not change to a third type, and it was obvious that there was a limit to the wealth of the Star Sea.
However, the archers are over, and the mages of the Sea of Stars are back on the scene.
These mages outside the city have not yet prepared their first spell, and the mages of the Sea of Stars have already struck.
With the three arrow towers as the center, a thin layer of light shines through, bordering each other, connecting into a piece, enveloping the area within the city walls.
At this time, the first spell of the mages outside the city was finally ready.
This spell is a long-range release spell that will be generated directly at the predetermined coordinate point of the spiritual power, and the coordinate point set by the mage who casts the spell is in the city.
But his spell had not yet been produced at the predetermined coordinate point, and a certain part of the thin light that shrouded this city wall suddenly glowed with a red light, and the surrounding thin light was entangled, and the red light disappeared after a violent fluctuation, and there was no spell produced at the original coordinate point.
It's a level 6 spell anti-magic force field!
The mages outside the city were shocked when they saw this.
What they were shocked was not this spell, but what was represented behind this spell, which would be three blue-robed mages!
