Chapter 139: Total War (Part I)

Gorgias didn't die, he just used up all his savings to order an all-metal mechanical tail from Quest's Wizard Advisor. The three young dragons who had escaped from the camp of the Usang team and ascended to heaven rushed back to the dragon's lair as fast as they could, and they conveyed to Quest the unusual changes near the Wall of Despair, and the young blue dragon, who was aware of the unusual conspiracy, immediately set off to the scene of the incident to investigate it himself.

"The three-headed young dragon reported being ambushed by the Medici army here. Transformed into a human, Quest sniffed at the scorching smell of burning in the air, which the Usang had set on fire to destroy the evidence before retreating. The three ogre brothers and the half-lich were still on standby in the dragon's lair, so he could only say to the paladin who accompanied him: "But the surrounding cities have not been approved for the transfer of troops at all recently, and there must be a problem here." ”

As Quiz and Jensen scrutinized the camp, they found several corpses dressed in desert elf warrior costumes - as they were stacked on top of each other, although the outermost corpses had been burned, some of them were still relatively intact. Looking at the fatal wounds on the bodies of these desert elf warriors, it was the skilled holy warriors who first showed some clues: "The wounds on the bodies of these elves are strange, and most of the wounds are caused by the carcass and the wounds are caused by cutting, which is obviously not caused by the spears that are standard for the Meidiqi garrison army. If you are armed with a scythe and a scimitar, you will not be able to make such a deep incision, and secondly, when I watch them fight, they often choose to attack the enemy's wrist first, but these corpses almost do not have such wounds on their hands. ”

Jensen's judgment was concise but convincing, and the young blue dragon nodded, he had just used a spell to try to summon the resentful spirits that might lurk in this place—after a great battle, especially in places where massacres had taken place, such illusory spirits often existed. In the ash world where there are no gods, souls dissipate slowly, and the possibility of a resentful spirit is almost certain - the fact that Quis still found nothing shows that the executioners were prepared in advance, like a soulbinding mage.

"Master Quiss, there's something new!" a bipedal wyvern with true dragon blood reported before it could hover and land, "Fifty miles away, signs of suspected large-scale military activity have been found, and there are traces of spell energy radiation there. As soon as they arrived at the site of the Usang advance army camp near the Wall of Despair, new news began to arrive. The half-lich who stayed behind in the dragon's lair used the employment contract he had concluded with Quest to summon the message, "An unknown army has teleported to Nome City, and the son of the former Pharaoh Medici has broken the city and claimed the throne." ”

......

The night before, outside Nome.

If the members of the Quest team were here at this time, they would find a familiar weapon appearing on the battlefield - Hell Roar, this kind of Bato Nine Prison weapon that made the young blue dragon feel that it had an inexplicable aura of middle two was given a more middle two name by the Usang people - the National Collapse Cannon.

Just because the name is funny doesn't mean it's not powerful enough. The weapons on the battlefield of the Demon Blood War in the lower realm appeared on the battlefield of the mortal realm, which inevitably seemed to be a bit overkill. Blazing shells flew out of the barrels of the national cannons, and by the height of the U-sang fortress, they approached the walls of Nome City and bombarded them. A salvo of 20 guns tore a huge gap in the mortar-mixed Nome wall, and at the same time, the wheel-arm trebuchet built by the Usang craftsmen also sent stone bullets soaked in black oil into the city, and although the flames that burned everywhere did not cause much damage at this time, they still brought great psychological panic to ordinary city citizens.

The city guard force, which was still on the city wall of Nome, was crushed under the blow of the national collapse artillery, and was unable to organize a strong counterattack. And when the mages were just about to use their magic power to defend the city, they were sniped by the elite ninjas who had already infiltrated the city. Using their steel-made crossbows, they fired silent, yet deadly, heavy bolts at the Nome mages from imperceptible angles. Several gray-robed mages who did not attach the "Protective Arrowstone" spell to themselves were targeted and eliminated as soon as they stepped out of the garrison area.

The newly appointed Archon Nome, in a panicked report from his servants, ran to the council chamber in his pajamas and barefoot, intending to order the whole city to be on guard. Shortly after he sought support with a city-specific spell teleportation device, the bad news came that the enemy army was in full attack on the city. The gangplanks on the walls of the fortress that had been used for battleship battles were put together to create dozens of passages to the walls of Nome, and an equal number of slings were erected under the watchtower on the top floor of the castle tower, from which a large number of Usaso freeman swordsmen and Dusan slave warriors poured into Nome.

In the watchtower at the top of the castle tower, the Brittany railing looked down in shock. Unlike his father's secret to the siege when he was young, which was to "concentrate his forces and attack the gates", a large number of Usaso soldiers quickly crossed the walls of Nome with more advanced siege facilities, and a large number of fortifications were useless. The faithful servants who had been with the former heirs of Medici were in awe as their masters. General Usang, who took in the reactions of these people, was very complacent, and stroked the enamel armor in front of him, and struck the song and said: "Five thousand soldiers at night, and the secret leader symbol Ling Ming." In the narrow alleys, where the soldiers meet, the killing is like grass and is silent. Brittany and others, who heard it, were the first to praise it.

As if to cater to the commander's Yaxing, after seizing the city wall, the freedfolk swordsmen and the Duluo slave warriors were all reduced to pieces and rushed into the streets and alleys of Nome City with the basic formation of the team. The green fireworks lit by the lurking ninjas throughout the castle were their guiding lights, and these marked Nome riches were the first to be attacked by the U-san Legion. Unlike the fragility of the city guards, the mercenary armies of the merchants were quite resilient. There are even some spellcasters in some large gambling stalls and brothels, and although the spider webs, greasy spells, and secondary acid spells they release are mediocre, they also bring many unexpected troubles to the swordsmen of the free folk of the Usang and the samurai of the slaves of Du Fall-

A captain of the sword who is good at the flow of double swords, the last moment he was still slaughtering the gambling guards who dared to stand in the way like chopping melons and vegetables, but the next moment he was hit by a spell shot out of nowhere. The sticky silk thread of spells stuck his armor to the porch, and not only did the soldiers behind him unable to help, but he also had to endure constant attacks from the benches and the like. This encounter was actually much better than that of his colleagues, and the captain who had taken the lead in the attack had just entered the gate and fell into the quicksand carpet that activated the spell effect, and was suffocated in the trap by the quicksand in an instant. What's more, the Advance Legion of the Usang who attacked the underground guild of Nome City was trapped in the intricate tunnels of all its members, and was killed and injured by the influx of poisonous smoke.

The advance legion also consisted of a number of spellcasters, but they were all busy besieging the mages who were eager to participate in the defense of the city. As many as 800 mage troops continued to bombard Nome's station with plastic energy-based magic, and with the advantage of numbers and the information provided by the ninjas, they had easily ambushed the newly promoted Nome black-robed mage who dared to come forward. At this time, the Usang Master was wearing down the spirit of his opponent while persuading him to surrender. When the first Norm Mage to surrender his real name and beg for mercy appeared, the remaining gray-robed mages and white-robed apprentices all surrendered. It was only after the prepared U-san people put on a slave collar with a strong binding function that the mage troops began to assist the freedfolk swordsmen and the Dufall slave warriors in battle.
