Watching the soldiers press down the dejected captives and walk down the city wall, Sam patted his chest with palpitations and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "It's so dangerous, it's almost there, if it weren't for your timely arrival, the achievement would have been broken." ”

Looking at the sunset at dusk, the remnant sun was like blood, the head and bottom of the city, there were stumps and broken bones everywhere, and the bright red blood seemed to stain the walls of Lobit, and Philip's heart became heavier and heavier.

"yes, it's almost, okay, Sam, let's go to tonight's meeting. ”

Since the Doge's army attacked Lobit that night and almost breached the city, Philip decided to hold a regular defensive meeting every day to coordinate Lobit's defending troops and resources.

"During the day, it was me, Sam, Delia and Franklin on duty, and at night it rotated to Grace, Gary and Miranda...... The head of the city to the east. ”

"There is some damage to the east of the city, and I am now arranging for the people to repair it, and it is estimated that the enemy will attack again after dinner, so it is impossible to repair it completely, so I can only pick an important place to repair it......"

"Well, Franklin, how much is repaired...... Sam, what do you have to explain?"

"The third detachment of the southern defense is almost completely wiped out, and there are only three people left, and they need to be replenished......"

Miranda shook her head, the short-haired woman looked very capable, "There are no more soldiers, the general reserve must maintain manpower, and the lord must rest at night, and a certain manpower must be maintained in case someone breaks down." ”

"And what about tomorrow during the day? There are not enough soldiers, and the southern wall cannot be rotated at all. Sam stood up impatiently and looked at Miranda angrily, "You know that you sit in the office and look at the data, and then take the woman to wrap the gauze, do you know that every time there is a rotation detachment in the city, other soldiers will have to hold on for half a day longer, and our soldiers are tired of fighting, and they are easily injured or even killed!"

Sam became more agitated the more he spoke, waving his hands in the air and pointing his fingers at Miranda.

"Sit down! Sam! Miranda is also not easy, in order to distribute troops and handle logistics, she only sleeps three hours a day, although she is on duty at night, but she always works from one night to three o'clock the next day! ”

Gary suddenly interjected: "In this case, I will send thirty dwarves to the third detachment. ”

Philip glanced at the dwarf: "However, there is still a need for dwarves on the weapon forging side." ”

Gary smiled miserably, "My lord, we don't need to make so many arrows every day, and we don't need to repair so much armor......"

Everyone present was silent, and by the fifteenth day of the battle, Lobit's casualties were already very serious.

In the makeshift hospital of the Church of Light, the wounded were lying down, the prayer hall, all the benches were removed, the space that could accommodate a dozen rows of benches was all placed with hospital beds, and in the basement of the church, several tall shelves were full of soldiers' ashes.

"My lord, it's time to use that liliang. Sam said suddenly.

"You mean ......"

"The Dark Elves we have sent to the rear of the Doge's army are under much less pressure whenever they suddenly attack the enemy. Sam seemed extremely excited, and spoke very quickly, and he finished a series of words in one breath.

Philip shook his head and disagreed with Sam: "Although the battle was fierce during this time, the enemy did not put all his strength into it, but only used constant attacks to consume the endurance of our soldiers, and if we want to put Dennis's ambush, we must put all our forces into the attack on us. ”

Delia looked at Philip with some melancholy, with a little sadness in her eyes, "However, our casualties are too great now, and even if we High Elves are less involved in direct battles, many of our clansmen have lost their lives here. ”

The continued casualties have left everyone's morale low, and it seems that they have lost some confidence in whether they can hold Lobit City.

Philip sighed and stood up, "Guys, come with me, there is something I originally wanted to take out after perfecting, and it seems that now I have to use it in advance." ”

Four strong men carried a long metal cylinder and hummed into the back garden of the Lord's Mansion, followed by a guard holding a box of magic crystals.

"Magic Cannon? I said you've been sleeping late late, so you're going to make this thing. After Grace finished speaking, his face turned red, and he realized that he had spoken too ambiguously, however, the marquis quickly came back to her senses and let out a "huh", the well-informed blood clan found that the cylinder was unusual, she seemed to have seen it somewhere, but this thing is a little different from the traditional magic cannon, "Why don't there be many magic arrays on the cannon, I remember that the magic array on the magic cannons is imprinted on the muzzle." ”

"This is not a magic cannon, the magic cannon, the operation relationship of the various magic arrays on it is not explained by a special person, others can't understand it at all, in fact, although the military controls the production of the magic cannon, although my father is a marshal, I can't get the magic cannon, every cannon is signed by the emperor Bixia, and it is filed in the military department. It's something else that's similar to a magic cannon, and I'll call it a magic crystal cannon. ”

"What do you mean?

"The magic cannon is a series of magic arrays handed down from ancient times to extract the energy in the magic crystal stone at one time, and then form a powerful, devastating magic energy to launch it and destroy the target, but this is not the case with the magic crystal cannon. ”

Philip picked up a stone from the ground, stuffed it into the cylinder, and then aimed the muzzle of the cannon at a two-person tall stone in the garden, Philip reached out and pressed the button behind the gun, and the Lobit military and political leaders present felt a large stream of air flow into the barrel, and the hair of the ladies present was a little fluttering in the wind.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and one seemed to see something flying out of the barrel, and the corner of the large stone where the muzzle was pointed turned into powder.

"At the bottom of the magic crystal cannon, there is a wind gathering magic circle that gathers air, and there is also a magic circle that compresses the air to strengthen gravity, the two work together to gather the air together, and then compress it, zuihou instantly releases the air compressed to the extreme, and ejects the stones. ”

"It's amazing," Franklin exclaimed, but shook his head anyway, "But, my lord, this thing seems to work like a crossbow, firing in a straight line, and it's very powerful. ”

Franklin's subtext was that they were all oddly shaped crossbows, and that they were more cumbersome to make than crossbows, and that they didn't seem to be of much use, but it was hard to explain because Philip was his employer.

"This isn't the full form of the Crystal Cannon. Philip walked to the sturdy laboratory in the garden, and it wasn't long before he saw Philip come out of the lab with a metal ball slightly smaller than the muzzle of the magic crystal cannon in his hand, and smiled at everyone present, "The real good guy is here." ”
