Chapter 239: The Bronze Horseman (I)
Rose ducked sideways behind the battlements, her longbow in her hand, her eyes as bright as stars scanning the enemy in the distance.
As an archer, after being promoted to Beast Soul Warrior, Rose chose the direction of her career advancement as a marksman, and spent two months studying the relevant skills at the Glay Sanctuary.
Stronger, farther and more accurate!Rather than the ornate magic archer, Rose prefers a sharpshooter who kills the enemy in one hit, and has worked tirelessly to hone her skills to this end, and her archery skills have continued to improve.
If there is one person in the Thunderbeast Brigade who can threaten the enemy mages hiding behind, then this person is her!
Bang! Two clusters of light exploded in the air, and Leon once again used the magic scroll to release the illumination spell, and it was two scrolls at a time, and he had a lot of inventory in his spatial ring.
In order to allow the Thunder Beast Warriors to see the enemy's location more clearly, the number of illumination spells was not only doubled, but in the release position, Leon was also chosen outside the city, so that the range of illumination would be wider.
The first illumination didn't actually take effect, but the shaman's dispel aura was invincible, so it was also dispelled.
And at the moment when a new cluster of light blooms, Rose discovers her goal.
The enemy mages were all at the rear, almost five hundred paces away from White Rock City.
This distance is undoubtedly quite safe, because the most powerful heavy crossbow is completely incapable of posing a threat even if it can be fired, and a mage with enough strength can still attack White Rock City with long-range spells at this distance.
Surrounded by the mage, there are dozens of guards and warriors armed with large shields, and the fragile mage must always be protected by his side, otherwise it will be very dangerous if he gets close to the enemy.
Rose immediately flashed out from behind the battlement, and instantly picked up the special longbow in her hand, and an armor-piercing arrow made of black iron was firmly placed on the bow.
The black arrow revealed a pale cyan light, condensed at the tip of the arrow and suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and her hand let go!
Boom!
With the trembling sound of the bowstring, this arrow, infused with the power of the powerful wind element, flew out like lightning, instantly sweeping a distance of hundreds of steps, leaving an untraceable afterimage in the air.
Among the barbarian raid team in White Rock City, there were a total of three Terran mages accompanying the army, and the Ice Storm spell just now was from the hand of a young gray-robed mage.
This range of intermediate spells consumed nearly half of his mana, and he was helpless to be dispelled by the shaman, so he could only take a few steps back and give up his position to his companion, preparing to go to the back to meditate and rest.
As a low-level magician, he didn't have the money to buy expensive magic items, nor could he afford to buy extravagant magic potions, so he took the trouble to come to the far north to work as a hired mage, so that he could better learn magic when he returned later, and could not be consumed in other aspects.
This is the sorrow of low-level mages, as an extremely expensive profession, although everyone envies the strength and beauty of mages, few people can understand the difficulties of these small mages who do not have the support of a big family.
"Be careful!"
One of the escort warriors next to him suddenly roared loudly, raised his shield and rushed in front of him.
The gray-robed mage was stunned for a moment, and the sudden strong sense of crisis made the hairs on his body stand up.
He clearly saw that a streamer shot straight towards him, and the speed was incredible!
Cha!
The sound of metal grinding violently sounded, and the reaction of the escort samurai was relatively fast, but the movement was still a little slower, and the light brushed the edge of the shield, and a little fire flashed.
"Uh..."
The gray-robed mage's figure trembled suddenly, his lips twitched a few times, he wanted to say something but couldn't say anything, and his originally high head slowly drooped.
The last sight he saw in this world was a large hole in his chest that had been broken, and red blood slowly flowed out of the hole with broken internal organs, staining the robe.
"I should give myself an arrow protection," the mage thought, and plunged into the darkness.
More than 500 paces away, on the wall of White Rock City, Rose, who had succeeded in the blow, waved her small fist excitedly.
It was still her successful shooting target from such a distance, and the other party was still a magician.
The arrow was almost blocked by the opponent's guards, but it was clear that Lady Luck was on her side, and the other party was obviously defenseless against a marksman like her, thinking that she was safe enough to stand far enough.
Rose's sharp arrow also made the other two magicians tremble, and they hurriedly retreated behind the guard warrior and retreated farther away.
They joined the barbarian army to make money, not to die, and when their lives are threatened, their own safety is the most important.
As for the life and death of the barbarians... Whoever cares about it, take care of it.
Under the threat of the marksman, the two mages withdrew from the battle, unable to pose any threat to White Rock City.
However, this did not mean that the barbarians had given up attacking White Rock City.
The bravery of the barbarians is unquestionable, and the celestial surnames in their blood allow them to ignore life and death in battle, and although they will collapse and flee when there is no hope of victory, their performance in battle is undoubtedly much better than that of the Terran warriors.
Without the suppression of the magicians and the support of the archers, they still rushed to Baishi City in waves, holding shields against the rain of arrows, and constantly erecting cloud ladders on the city walls, completely undying.
Every second, one or more barbarian warriors collapsed in pools of blood, while their companions trampled over their corpses, howling like beasts, and scrambling to climb the erected ladder.
Boom! Boom!
In the face of the barbarians' frantic onslaught, stone bullets weighing hundreds of pounds flew out from behind the city walls and smashed heavily among them.
A few days ago, when deploying the defense of White Rock City, Leon ordered all twenty catapults in stock to be installed and deployed behind the city walls.
This pioneer undoubtedly played a role, although not all of the 20 catapults were placed in the eastern section of the city wall, but the body itself has wheels, so it is not difficult to move the position, and it saves an unknown amount of time compared to re-erecting it.
The baggage team of the 3rd War Regiment left behind in White Rock City joined the battle at this time, and although they did not go to the city walls to kill the enemy, they did not have the slightest problem controlling catapults, because the baggage soldiers themselves needed to learn to use heavy equipment such as heavy crossbows and catapults.
When the twenty catapults were pushed together, the baggage soldiers skillfully pulled down the levers, loaded the heavy stone bullets on their leather pockets, and then pulled the levers hard, and the stone bullets were ejected.
The barbarians outside the city were immediately unlucky, their shields might barely be able to block the sharp armor-piercing arrows, but they would definitely not be able to withstand the stone bullets falling from the sky.
Those who were unlucky were smashed into meatloaf, and one of the stone bullets also hit a cloud map that was being transported, breaking the ladder and smashing the guy carrying the ladder.
Leon and Rock Hammer and a group of thunderbeast warriors held on to the city wall, and the enemy rushed up and killed them, and set up the ladder and kicked them down one by one.
The archers did their best to fire arrows at the fastest frequency with their arms, and the barbarians were so numerous that they could always shoot down their enemies with ease, without needing to aim precisely.
The recruits among the Thunderbeast Warriors are going through this brutal battle test, although they are not complete recruits, they have all grown up rapidly after the battle of the Arctic Ice Field.
But this time the battle was different, as they faced a stubborn and frantic onslaught from the enemy, and had to fight head-to-head with the barbarian warriors who stormed the walls.
Blood-stained battle axes break through armor, sharp swords cut off limbs, blood flies, and each other's roars are sent into the distance!
Some warriors persevered with red eyes and gritted their teeth, using their weapons to harvest the lives of their enemies, while others fell and never got back up.
War is always a matter of life and death, and I believe that after the test of this bloody battle, all recruits will become real veterans.
Under the powerful resistance of the Thunderbeast warriors, the barbarians' frenzied attack momentum was quickly suppressed, and they left countless corpses under the city walls, blood flowing everywhere along the walls, quickly condensing into red frost.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud banging sound from below the walls, and the entire section of the wall shook slightly.
Leon, who was swinging his sword and slicing a barbarian warrior in two, was taken aback.
But he got the answer right away.
"It's the gates, and someone is attacking them!" someone shouted from below.
There are two gates in Baishi Castle, one on the east and one side, and like other castle cities, the gate of Baishi Castle is also a lifting gate made of fine iron and black iron.
Once this kind of heavy metal gate falls, it is almost impossible to lift it without passing through the large winch on the city wall, and some special metals are mixed into it when it is manufactured, so it has a strong magic resistance.
Even if it is a small gate like White Rock City, it is definitely not easy for the enemy to break through it with brute force from the outside, and even if it uses a large crash, it will take a lot of time.
During this time, there was enough for the defenders inside to seal the back of the city gate.
This sound sounded like the barbarians were attacking the city gate, but Leon could see it very clearly, the barbarian side did not carry any large siege equipment, they didn't even have heavy crossbows, how could they bring a heavy siege car to crash the city?
Boom!
There was another loud bang, and this time the reaction was even more violent.
"Throw the canister of fire oil down!" Leon immediately shouted, "Burn them!"
