Chapter Seventy-Five: The Battle of Fei'er (I)
As the days passed, one bad news after another reached the ears of the Elven Queen, starting from the Fei'er Rebellion, the death of King Issa and Princess Fina, the fall of the Fifth Legion, the second brother of Feiyue, Arrow, also died of sacrifice and serious injuries, and the peaceful and prosperous scene of Fei'er Ben no longer existed, but fortunately, there were Erkel and Qili Qilu, Scarlet, Phimi, Sharyl, Qianqianlala, Chehir and others who were not directly related to Feiyue's soul, as well as the four gangs and temple defenders who had become the stronghold of the undead that Feiyue had deployed in advance in Fei'er's outer city, the Silver Pegasus Knights of the Scorching Sun and the Elves, and the elven army that came later, barely suppressed Fei'er's rebellion.

Even so, the situation is not optimistic, first of all, the current royal family of the Fili Empire no longer exists, the nobles who are the core have either fled, or have been killed as rebels, and the remaining knights and city guards are not enough to resist the upcoming siege army, even if the gangs and the remaining three families and the reinforcements of the elves fully support Fei'er's defense, but compared to the upcoming hundreds of thousands of troops, it is too small.
Now the temple is full of wounded knights and refugees, as for the elemental hillock, it was completely closed after the 'death' of the Moon, and the fog has completely shrouded that area, whether it is the dragon or the phoenix, they have also fallen into a deep sleep after the World Tree has fallen into a deep sleep, and none of the rebels who entered that area will come out alive, and no one will dare to step into it again.
Three months passed like this, three months, long and short, and during these three months, the snow in other places had begun to melt, but in the area where the moon died, the wind and snow became more and more violent, and the elves called it the sorrow of the elemental elves, and it is said that some of the elves who were close to the elements could hear the cries of the wind and snow when they approached that area, so they called it so.
And the nobles of the Fili Empire did not resist the invading enamel army at all, but directly opened the city and surrendered, although this behavior made Fili's people very dissatisfied, but under the pressure of the army, people could not carry out an effective counterattack, some of them chose to join Fang Rui's army, but more just chose to endure, and at this time, I don't know who spread the news that Fili's last heir, Fei Yue, had died, which made the entire Fili Empire fall into a state of extreme sadness and despair.
Three months later, the troops of the Enamel Empire had arrived at the city of Fei'er, where they were stationed ten miles away and sent attendants to Fei'er to deliver their requests.
"These guys, they want us to surrender?" Scarlet Snow tore apart the request she had handed her, "I haven't held them responsible for the deaths of King Isa, Princess Fina, and Arrow!"
"Let's think about how to solve the situation in front of us!" Qili didn't complain, just said quietly, "Our north is an elemental land that has been completely blocked, I'm afraid that even where the Sage came from can only go and never return, and the west is completely covered by a blizzard, and now only the south and east are left to defend us, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune!"
"They'll be attacking early tomorrow morning, and now that the ice in the moat has melted, it's a big boost for us!" Qilu said, pointing to the map, "Behind the outer walls are the slums and the gang-controlled area, where there are a lot of mercenaries and adventurers trapped in Fei'er, if they are willing to participate in the defense, we may be able to survive a little longer!"
"I don't know how His Highness Feiyue is doing now!" Qian Qian sighed as he stood behind Qilu.
"Please believe Your Highness, didn't you survive the fatal blow of Scarlet Snow before?" Lala glanced at Scarlet Snow intentionally or unintentionally, and said playfully.
"Yes, yes, yes, I can come back to life after being hit by my Lord Scarlet Snow, are you still afraid that a little god will not succeed?"
"Alright, let's think about how to keep Fei'er down first!" Qili said to a few girls who kept sighing. "Chehir, the east gate will be handed over to you, Qian Qian and Lala, you and Chehir together, and then I will send seventy percent of the remaining Sages to assist you, I, Qilu, Crimson Snow and the remaining Sages and Elves will be responsible for the defense of the south gate, as for the undead side, they should have their own arrangements, and the west side will also be handed over to them! I think the other party will not attack from the west as long as they have a little brain, and the Wind and Snow Sage there can probably be frozen into ice sculptures when they enter!"
"Okay, that's it, you guys go to your own area to mobilize first, and then prepare for battle!" After saying that, everyone scattered.
Then again, although Fei Yue died, her prestige among the inhabitants of Fei'er was incomparable, and when Qili played the banner of fighting for His Highness Feiyue, a large part of the mercenaries chose to join Fei'er's defense, and even most of the residents organized themselves to do logistics for the army responsible for the defense.
The horn of the attack pierced the quiet morning, and a huge fireball descended from the sky, constantly crashing against the shield that had been opened, and because of the decrease in the number of mages, the shield was not as powerful as before, and it began to shatter before it could resist a few fireballs.
The fireball that broke through the shield fell into the city, but was blocked by another shield, which was the second layer of defense facilities built by the undead lich and Meow Meow, Qilu and other alchemists at the request of Feiyue, using the alchemy array of self-charging as the core, this layer of defensive shield gave up the characteristics of being able to defend against physical attacks, and instead supplied all the energy to the magic defense, and the fireballs summoned by magic also belonged to magic, so naturally it was impossible to avoid the fate of being blocked.
Seeing that this layer of shield could not be broken with magic, the opponent began to use trebuchets for physical attacks, and while the trebuchet attacked, they also began to ask the first echelon of infantry to start attacking the city.
"Trebuchet ready!" As the other party began to push the siege equipment closer, Fei'er's city guards also began to make final adjustments to their defensive equipment.
"Aim at the opposite device and shoot!"
"Shoot—"
At the same time, the opponent's siege equipment also launched an attack on the city, countless boulders flew into the air, and then fell into the enemy camp, this round of attacks caused both sides to suffer a lot of damage, and Fei'er was obviously worse, flying into the city The boulders smashed a lot of houses, but as I said before, there are slums behind here, so the loss is not big.
"Archers prepare!" shouted Qili as the enemy drew closer.
"Magician prepare!" Qilu then shouted.
"First echelon, shoot-"
"Icicle—shoot—"
Under the order of the two, countless arrows and icicles fell into the enemy phalanx that was marching, perhaps Qili did it intentionally, most of the first echelon involved in the shooting were mercenaries and adventurers, and they did not have much money to carve a magic array for the arrows, so that while the icicles caused a lot of trouble to the enemy, the arrows were easily blocked by the army with their shields raised, and the damage caused was not as good as the siege equipment in the previous round.
"Second echelon, shoot—" Seeing that the other party was careless, Qili smiled slightly, and then shouted.
"Second echelon, shoot—" the herald repeated.
The second echelon is not the mercenaries and adventurers before, the arrows of this round of attack are all depicted in the magic array, and the attacking army that was thinking that it could be blocked by just raising the shield fell a large part in the blink of an eye, and many of them are afraid that they will not understand why the shield that was extremely effective just now has lost its effect at this moment.
"Third echelon, shoot—" Seeing that the results were good, Kiri immediately ordered the elven archers who were the last echelon to shoot.
Most of the people who were hit by the second round were not dead, and this round just sent their souls back to the sky, and with the accuracy and magic bonus of the elven arrows, the lethality caused was even higher than that of the second echelon's attacks.
The arrows after that were not as neat as before, but like raindrops, out of the fear they had generated before, the enamel soldiers also ran faster by a few percent.
"Crossbow, shoot—"
As the besieging army drew nearer, after ordering the crossbow to shoot one last time, she put on her helmet, raised her shield, and stood with the city guards, the arrows and crossbows flying overhead like raindrops, and the enemy's first besieging troops had also come to the city, and the ladders were put up on the wall and stuck.
"We are the shield of Fei'er!" shouted Qili brandishing her sword to cut down the first enemy to climb the wall, "for the moon!"
"Kill-" All the soldiers who were in the first echelon of white-knuckle warfare roared angrily to meet the siege soldiers who climbed the city wall, most of these soldiers were wounded, and naturally they were not as good as the defenders who were waiting for work in the attack, but when Qili looked closely, she found that most of the soldiers who climbed the city wall were some slaves with low combat effectiveness and the old and weak, who were forced to participate in the war and fell victim to the war.
As the white-knuckle battle began, the arrows flying in the sky decreased, and the suppressive effect was weakened, and a large number of enemy troops poured onto the city wall like a tide, which was not comparable to the cannon fodder before, and the city guards and mercenaries began to suffer heavy casualties when they came into contact with them.
"Mage, aim for the ladder, burst the fireball, shoot!" Qilu and the mage gathered in the magic tower with stronger defenses, and began to attack the ladder that had already set up the city wall from an oblique angle, trying to reduce some pressure on the army on the wall, but to little effect.
"Griffons, watch out for griffins!" Just then, a large shadow appeared in the sky, and then a warning was heard from the marksman in the watchtower.
"Archer, crossbow, attack the griffin!" shouted Kiri as she dodged a slash sideways.
"Magician, wind magic prepares, attack the griffin!" With Qili's order, Qilu also led her magicians to start suppressing the approaching griffin.
"Silver Pegasus Knight-" As the griffin got closer and closer to the city wall, the Elven Sword Dancer Elder suddenly took the Silver Pegasus Knight into the air, and inserted it from the flank before the griffin could react, and the elven sword dancer sitting on the silver flying horse began to jump between the griffons after breaking into the griffon group, and every time the double blade in his hand fell, a griffin would inevitably have its wings cut off or directly decapitated.
At this time, the battle under the city is not optimistic, most of the long-range forces are attracted by the griffins in the sky, resulting in more and more troops climbing the city wall, and at this moment, Crimson Snow who was watching from the sidelines couldn't sit down, only to see her jump up, after breaking into the griffin group, Fei'er's sky began to rise a blood mist, Crimson Snow's fighting style is not as elegant as the elf, just decapitating or cutting off the wings, but directly tearing the enemy apart, disgusting corpses scattered all over the ground, most of them fell to the enemy outside the city wall, and a small part fell into the city.
At first, everyone didn't think so, after all, they didn't have time to pay attention to what had fallen on them, but when everyone felt that something was wrong, the snow had been completely dyed red, and countless remains and internal organs were scattered everywhere, a large part of which was still glued to people's armor, this scene even the soldiers who were accustomed to killing could not bear it, and the leader who organized the attack saw that the situation was not good, so he withdrew the attacking army.
Thanks to the scarlet snow, now whether it is the defending side or the attacking side, they are nauseated and vomited, let alone eating, and they can't even drink water.
But it is precisely because of this that the enemy's offensive had to be temporarily interrupted, the residual smell of blood in the air is too strong, even the priests and priests who accompany the army can not be dispersed for a while, and a large part of the reason why the two sides dare not continue to fight is also because of this, if the soul of the dead is eroded before leaving the body, it is easy to turn into a zombie and start attacking the people around him, this zombie carries a virus with very strong erosion ability, although it will not turn into a zombie if it is stained, but I am afraid that my life will not be saved.
In order to dispel the blood mist created by Crimson Snow, the priests and priests were busy for five days, and there was no conflict between the two sides during these five days, which was so calm that it was worrying, but it also successfully gave the defenders some respite, although it could not recover any vitality, but it was still no problem to consolidate the city defenses!
As for the east gate guarded by Chehir and others, nothing happened, for this reason, Chehir also specially asked Qianqian and Lala and a group of saints to search inside and outside the city, but they still found nothing, as if the other party had given up the attack on the east gate.
