When the power of one individual clearly surpasses that of other species, this innate power becomes a plug-in with many possibilities.

The crossbow arrows fired by the ballista could often shoot through at least five or six soldiers in leather or light armor in one breath in war, but in the face of this group of minotaurs with steel plates hanging from their chests, the lethality was obviously greatly reduced. Of the eighteen crossbow arrows, only four of the minotaurs were shot, and the rest were either missed, even those that hit the crossbow arrows with an inch-thick steel plate hanging from the minotaur's chest, and with a crisp sound pushed the minotaur to stumble and fall to the ground.

The minotaur who was shot was not life-threatening, at most he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder or thigh, and although he lost his combat effectiveness, at least he did not die.

Death is the most morale-boosting thing in war! People are proud of their ability to control other people's lives and plunder their most precious things, and then they are proud and proud, and then they can extend courage and morale. This is also the reason why in a cold weapon battle, if the enemy on the opposite side is significantly stronger than your own, you must kill people and sacrifice flags before the battle.

However, it is a pity that the effect this time is far from achieving the purpose of the petty officer.

The passes at both ends of the Weimar Corridor - the Orlando Empire Pass is known as the Eggshell Pass in Byron's mouth, and this obviously derogatory name not only mocks the Orlando Empire, but also inspires his own people. Of course, the eggshell pass is not really an eggshell, the city wall of ten or twenty meters and the wall of several meters thick are definitely not eggshells, and it is impossible to be destroyed as easily as eggshells.

It is precisely because the defense of this eggshell pass is extremely strong, and the elite horsemen of the Byron Empire have returned from the city twice in vain, and in the past seventy years, it has gradually given many Desi and imperial nobles an illusion that as long as there are no traitors in the eggshell pass, then the eggshell pass is absolutely impossible to break.

Oh yes, the Desi call this checkpoint in the Weimar corridor the Iron Wall.

In this case, as the Weimar corridor was not suitable for marching between the two countries, the possibility of war was eliminated, and gradually there was no concern for the safety of this checkpoint. After all, legend has it that even the Holy Empire's trembling orcs can't break through this level, so what power can destroy it? That's why the Imperial Center didn't have a heavy garrison in Bell Province and Ortronburg.

They are too arrogant, too careless, too ...... Self-righteous.

Today, 70 years later, when this pass is once again facing an attack from the Byron Empire, it can no longer face the attack from Byron as calmly as it did 70 years ago.

Seventy years is enough for some people to let down their guard or even forget something, and it can also allow some people to take the initiative and find an opportunity to solve it.

Since the heavy equipment can't be pulled in, then use the obviously open race of giants, for this reason, the royal family of the Byron Empire allocated about 300 square kilometers of land in the Wanghaijiao area to the giant clan with a population of only more than 500, so as to obtain the help of the giant clan.

The little officer punched the wall fiercely, and the back of his hand was dripping with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Get on the special arrow, quickly!"

The special arrow has always been one of the biggest threats to the Byronic Empire, or something related to magic, which can threaten the Byronic Empire. The national policy of the Byron Empire is to be inclusive, and the tolerant social attitude has made many non-human races who can't find their place on the side of the Desi run to the Byron Empire. They actually have another place to go, and that is the Full Moon, but most non-human races don't like to eat sand in the desert, so they decline the invitation to the Full Moon Golden Horde.

Although the proportion of human beings in an empire is superior, the overall dominant race is a non-human race, which will lead to a very interesting social phenomenon. People tend to look to the elite as role models and goals, just as in the Orlando Empire, people's greatest pursuit and ideal is to become an aristocracy. But in Byron, what people admired was power, force, something that could be done without much culture.

The Byronic Empire was insulated from the magicians, although they also had their own beliefs and a team of so-called court mages, but under the influence of the ebb tide, the so-called court mages had evolved into a new class distinct from the nobility. Magicians are more like politicians than magicians, and people are more willing to pursue physical power in an environment where the power of magic cannot be highlighted in society.

The level of magic and magic technology is obviously behind the Orlando Empire, and when the Orlando Empire comes up with all kinds of magical equipment, it will be a disaster for the various non-human races of the Byron Empire. Although recent generations of emperors have been frantically increasing the number of magicians and developing more magical equipment, the environment has been placed there, with little effect.

People are willing to gain social status and respect through strong personal force, rather than bury their heads in boring books and literature to find a way out.

Of course, the Byron Empire has not been without progress over the years, at least they have been able to make some simple magical equipment, and they are no longer all imported from the Orlando Empire. This also created the other side of the wizarding community - the merchants. The purpose of their knowledge is not to do deeper research, but to make money.

In short, for the Byron Empire, magicians and magical equipment are their biggest headaches.

The special arrows in the mouth of the petty officer are a kind of consumable magic equipment, these arrows coated with Mithril have strong conductivity, and the magic circuit of the bursting flame is carved on the layer of the arrow, and then inlaid with one-fifth of a standard unit of Tiberium spar, and when it is collided after shooting, a very simple mechanism will automatically close under the reaction force, thus detonating the burst flame, and at the same time, the magic energy of the riot will also detonate the stable Tiberium spar, causing more violent explosions and vibrations, forming the so-called magic arrow。

Of course, the Byron Empire has long understood this situation, and naturally has already had defensive measures, which is why the Byron Empire dared to invade the Orlando Empire, that is, they have Dragon Island.

The dragon, a race that once threatened the entire world, has become a giant creature that cannot even fly in the ebb tide of magic, and although they can still breathe dragon breath, the current dragon breath cannot even heat the shield of the spellbreaker. The dragons have fallen from the pyramid of species, and this group of creatures who have lived long enough and possess a high level of intelligence have recognized it very thoroughly, and have directly transformed into merchants.

They took everything that could not have been sold and sold it as commodities as if it were a commodity, including the scales of the dead dragons in the resting place. These scales themselves have a high resistance to magic, and after strengthening and transforming, they can't be said to completely resist the power of magic, but they can still be weakened.

When the bolts with the effect of bursting fire were fired into the phalanx of the minotaurs, the minotaurs climbed on the spot without confusion, protecting the back of their heads with their hands. On their backs and buttocks, light armor made of dragon scales hangs.

Flames rose into the sky, and the sound of explosions shook the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, and a large number of mud and stones fell from the cliffs in a row. The updrafts created by the flame-heated air currents swept up a large amount of ash and soil, leaving the entire canyon covered in dust.

When the dust fell, the little officer smiled.

In fact, the real damage caused by magic is not the greatest threat to the Minotaur, the biggest threat comes from the vibration of the Tiberium spar that explodes at the moment when the magic circuit closes, which is the greatest damage.

The minotaurs staggered to their feet as if they were drunk, staggered a few steps and fell, some even motionless, as if they were dead.

The soldiers on the city wall showed a satisfied smile on their faces in surprise, it is good if it has an effect, and the most fearful thing is that there will be no effect after the means are exhausted. The little officer sneered twice and ordered, "Use corrosive arrows!"
