363 Easily break through the Sigma barriers
At the same time that the players were building the fortifications, the Demolition Team led by the [Syrian Player] also took action.
They built trebuchets on both sides of the Sigma ramparts and bought several chocobos at great expense. Strapping homemade earth explosives to them and using them as self-detonating trucks.
Wofron's spies reported that a number of unidentified people had recently gathered at the Sigma Garrison, which brought him to his attention.
But when Wolfron reacted, it was too late.
The demolition team's surprise attack was very rapid, and it was from both sides of the rampart, from the inside and outside.
Determined that the player had almost all left the interior of the kingdom, Wofrang only asked the spies to keep an eye on the outside.
When he saw the trebuchet dragged out by the player, there was a look of disdain in his eyes.
This kind of old siege weapon can indeed play a certain role in the fight between humans and humans.
It is undoubtedly lethal to castles and army groups, but it is not satisfactory when faced with the tide of beasts.
After a hundred years of fighting against the tide of beasts, humans have learned a lot from Warcraft how to suppress the lethality of trebuchets.
The spiritual barrier and the inscription base array were all promoted from that time.
Machines that can only project stones and heavy objects will not be able to break through the beast tides protected by powerful spiritual barriers and the city defense bases with carved inscriptions.
And the inscription base array used by the Sigma barrier is the strongest inscription formation that human beings can master at this stage.
However, those arcane formations can only defend against ordinary heavy objects and boulders, but the items thrown by the player are earth explosives.
In a world where gunpowder is not used at all, the natives are ignorant of the lethality of explosives.
Seeing the rows of archers and mages lining up on the walls, the Syrian player yelled and ordered the trebuchet to fire.
Earthen explosives were packed in barrels and fired at the city walls.
The hiss of the lead is the beginning of a new era.
The barrel fell on the city wall, bursting into brilliant fireworks.
Although the power of this batch of earth explosives is not strong enough to directly penetrate the formation guard, it can use splash damage to affect the surrounding defenders.
The guards did nothing to protect themselves from an unknown threat until the powder keg exploded in front of them, and they realized how lethal it was.
The first round of attacks caught them by surprise, and eighty percent of the defenders on the city wall were killed in this round of attacks.
Wolfron was horrified at the sight of the fire on the wall.
The night sky of the Sigma Barrier was lit up by firelight, and a group of centaurs marched from the outer wall towards the lost frontal wall, with a crash cart dragging behind them towards the gate.
Wofrang didn't have time to send someone to the kingdom for help, he just ordered someone to light the enemy wolf smoke at the peak.
Inside the ramparts, he mobilized one-third of his guards to guard the outer gate, and the other two-thirds of the guards packed up and prepared to escort him inland to evacuate.
The player on the inside is still hiding in the woods outside the pass, waiting for Wolflang to take the bait.
The guards' equipment has undergone special treatments that allow them to exert their extraordinary powers in the Array Seal Forbidden Zone.
Leading the way were five guard captains with bronze-level strength, and the rest of the ordinary soldiers also had black-iron strength.
With rank suppression, they can also gain a certain advantage in white-knuckle combat.
There are not many players who are willing to follow the [Syrian players] to wreak havoc and go to the chaotic evil camp at this stage. They were about the same number as the guards, but they couldn't exert their extraordinary strength, so they could only confront these soldiers with their physical bodies.
The soldiers didn't know about the earth explosives, and only thought that they could do a lot of damage with trebuchets, so they all regarded the large slimes carried by [Syrian players] and others as the biggest threat.
"Watch out for those slimes, don't let them get near the walls!" A captain commanded.
The crowd stood in full array, using the city walls as cover, waiting for them to enter the operational range of the white-knuckle battle.
Seeing that no one stepped forward to fight, the Soldier Commander used his body as a bait to detonate the opponent's slime.
Begin arranging for the few remaining longbowmen and arcane mages to work together to shoot rockets to detonate large slimes.
The weakening of the strength of the barrier around the Sigma barrier is not achieved overnight, but the closer the distance, the stronger the sense of weakness.
The real exclusion zone is only in the last fifty meters.
[Syrian player] led everyone to stand a hundred meters away, and his strength could barely be maintained at the first level of black iron.
With this strength, it was enough to stop the sparse rain of arrows, and the rear trebuchets reloaded and fired, but the defenders had already found cover, so the casualties were greatly reduced.
Players have to move forward step by step, testing the limit distance they can stop the rain of arrows.
The soldier commander couldn't sit still, and when he saw that no one in the guards dared to come forward to meet him, he shouted, "Whoever can detonate a slime will get five times the death reward." The eldest son can be knighted and become a close confidant of Lord Wolfron! ”
The guards watched for a while, believing that they could easily avoid the trebuchet's attack at their own speed, and finally got ready to move.
Three of them gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and took the lead in rushing forward.
But they still didn't want to lose their lives like this, so they threw the torch in their hands at the slime after getting a certain distance.
One, two, three.
With the strength of the black iron high-level, they threw the torches out with all their might.
The Syrian player's squad barely managed to stop two, and the last one detonated a slime not far from him, exploding in the formation.
Three or five players in the vicinity were affected, and all of them were killed in place.
The guard was overjoyed when he saw this, "Me! My son is a knight! ”
"Don't be tempted, brothers rush with me!" The [Syrian player] gave the order, and everyone ran at full speed.
Chocobos bound with earth explosives also flew up, their fuses lit up and a faint hissing sound.
The guards didn't know that this was the same thing as the barrel that had just bombarded the city wall, and for some reason they rushed up to kill the chocobos.
The carcass of the chocobo was left behind by them, and no one cared about it.
Just as they were hesitating to go up and fight the slime-carrying [Syrian Stubborn Disease] and the others in melee combat, the first three guards had already arrived in front of the player.
The slimes in front of them immediately detonated, blowing them into a puddle of flesh, greatly shocking the guards who were still trying to rush up.
The soldier commander stood at the back and shouted, "Rush! Keep rushing! ”
But before the guards could react, the corpses of the chocobos that fell behind them also exploded one after another.
The explosion came unexpectedly, and even the commander of the soldiers at the back was affected because he didn't have time to open his shield.
However, the amount of explosives carried by chocobos was not as large as the shells fired by trebuchets, so a few people were able to get up from the pool of blood while still breathing.
The luck that Wofrang had in organizing the escape was gone, "Go!" ”
He led the group to open the inner gate and ran towards the grove.
