Chapter 296: Capture the City (II)
[There are two more]
The battle formation of the thieves is habitually arranged horizontally in an inwardly concave arc. When attacking a caravan, because the caravan's bows and arrows are weak, such a formation can cause a lot of psychological pressure on the caravan guards, and you don't have to worry about how much damage the caravan's archers can cause to you.
Inside the gate of the side star city, there is a small square, in order to facilitate the defenders to attack. The two hundred thieves were still habitually spreading out their formations, trying to create a situation of outflanking.
But what they faced was not a caravan guard, but a personal soldier cultivated by the four major families. All of Salin's one hundred and twenty soldiers were replaced with small alchemy crossbows, and when the two hundred soldiers rushed up, the soldiers calmly fired a round of arrows.
The distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, and the alchemy crossbow had a powerful penetrating ability, and the iron armor of these two hundred thieves could not resist it at all. In one round of shooting, half of the thieves fell off their horses.
One hundred and twenty soldiers calmly put away their alchemy crossbows and picked up their cross spears. The tip of the cross gun is only a foot long and the angle is sharp. Behind the tip of the gun are sharp blades that extend to the sides. When this weapon is used against heavy armor, the short and sharp head of the spear is like a triangular sword, which can break through the heavy armor, and the horizontal blades on both sides have a stopping effect, and the length of the tip of the spear is just right to be fatal, and it is easy to pull out.
If the enemy's light armor is light, the sharp horizontal blade can even cut the enemy in half.
On a local battlefield to the north. Salin's team relied on local superiority to wipe out the two hundred thieves who came in one fell swoop. One hundred and twenty soldiers, with the help of their servants, cut down the remaining hundred thieves in front of the battle.
The magicians on Saleen's side did not move, but the battle at the North Gate had attracted the leader of the thieves. Nearly a thousand people have been wiped out by the enemy who appeared at the North Gate, which is one-tenth of the strength. The front of the thieves had already rushed to the City Lord's Mansion at this moment, but an inexplicable army appeared behind him, which made the leader of the thieves nervous.
The leader of the thieves was leading his own team to attack the City Lord's Mansion when he received the news that two hundred elites had been lost in a moment, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Don't look at him as a thief, but he once went to Shengyan City to study, and he knows much more things than ordinary thieves, he knows, don't look at the fact that he brought 10,000 people to attack Side Star City, but he only needs Qin Yin's two regular flag regiments to destroy the people he has gathered.
"Let Humar lead the men to kill the reinforcements. The leader of the thieves touched the beard of his chin, and his young face had a cruel expression. "Kill everyone, I'll give him 50,000 gold coins!"
"Yes!" The leader of the cronies immediately went to find the mage, the mage did not follow the team to attack the city lord's mansion in front, and this mage was not a member of their thief group, but a helper invited from above. The main task of this mage is to ensure that the plan is not ruined by the enemy mage. Now there are obviously no mages in the City Lord's Mansion, so Humar has been resting.
There was no sign of a mage at the north gate, and the leader of the thieves could not instruct the mage who helped, so he could only tempt him with gold coins.
Saleen commanded his soldiers and minions to take advantage of the position, strangling the thieves who kept entering the city.
There was a small urn city at the north gate, and Shaman had taken her mage with her. and the dozens of personal soldiers left by Salin went up, and on the commanding heights, Shaman was not in a hurry to make a move, just observed. If any thief enters the city and tries to escape, he will be shot by her men.
The north gate is only allowed to enter, not to exit.
Because no one escaped, the thieves behind did not know that the north gate was a trap and were still rushing inside.
There are less than a thousand people in Saleen, and the strong combat strength is in the early two hundred. However, the equipment of the two sides is too far apart, and the people under Saleen know that there are several great magicians on their side, as well as the Silver Sword Saint, and their morale is high.
In fact, in this small square, there are not many people who can gather at all, and having a Su is enough to stabilize the situation. But Su was waiting for that sixth-level mage to appear, so he never revealed his true combat power.
As it darkens, Salin asks Nania to unleash a few illuminations over the square. The thieves outside the city, believing that their magician had struck it, pounced like moths on the illuminated square.
"Nania. It's up to you. Seeing that the thieves were pouring in faster and faster, Salin had his soldiers retreat to the streets outside the square, freeing up the small square.
This small square is fifty meters wide and a hundred meters long, and it is not a problem to stand thousands of people.
Nania smiled slightly, although it was a bit boring for mages to torture and kill such ordinary people, most mages would not do it. But the enemy is a thief, and Naria naturally has no resistance.
She began to prepare her magic, chanting intricate incantations, and when the number of thieves in the square exceeded six hundred, Nania unleashed her first spell.
Firebirds.
This firebird was unlike any firebird Saleen had ever seen, Rex and Saleen had been connected to each other's attack and defense for a while, and Saleen's understanding of firebird was almost as good as Rex's, but he was still amazed by Nania's attack.
It was a massive firebird, its wings spread out to a width of sixteen meters, and it wasn't a composite magic, but an advanced magic unique to Nania.
A single fourth-level magic, created by Nania.
The firebird had clear feathers on its body, and its arrangement was not according to the rules of the elements, but rather like a living creature. The huge firebird soared into the air and pounced.
"You dare!" came an angry scream in the southern sky. Salin turned around and saw a black-robed mage flying towards him in a rage. This mage, very strong, is definitely much stronger than Nania. Salin smiled, just wait for him, if he didn't worry about this mage, he would have let his subordinates go around chasing and killing thieves, how could they gather together.
If only these men were separated from themselves. Encountering this mage is a one-sided slaughter.
Only mages of the Magus level can use magic in flight. Below level 7, it is a little difficult to even cast the scroll when flying at a high speed. Saleen himself unleashes magic in the air, and he also needs to stabilize his body and cannot cast spells in harsh environments.
However, the Mage can release the scroll while flying slowly, albeit slower than nothing. The black-robed mage flew to this side, and saw a female mage in the distance unleash a huge firebird, which slammed into the ground, like a real creature, its wings fluttered from side to side, and all the thieves who were enveloped in it were killed instantly.
The durability of fourth-level magic is dozens of times that of low-level magic, this firebird is slaughtering, the thieves in the square are dead, the firebird has not dissipated, and under the command of Nania, it flies out of the city. This is what makes Nania unique, the magic she creates consumes double the magic strings, but the persistence and flexibility have reached the level of advanced magic.
This is the lethality of elemental magic, as well as the coordination of summoning magic. The Firebird is like a creature summoned by Ania from an alternate plane. Flap your wings and burn everything you pass through to ashes.
The thief who was not scared still wanted to escape, but the firebird opened its mouth and spit out a fireball, which directly killed the fleeing thief.
Salin calculated, Nania prepared this magic, not counting the adjustments before she gave the order, just chanting the spell, it took nearly fifty seconds. If two mages are fighting alone, such magic will not be used, and they can face thousands of enemies. This kind of magic is definitely more effective than his own badge.
His badge can easily kill even a level 9 creature, but he can only shoot a straight attack line, and it dissipates after a single blow. But this firebird can not only fly automatically, but also make an attack posture independently.
The sixth-level mage in the sky was furious, the magic released by the female mage had already rushed out of the city gate, and the firebird showed no signs of elemental imbalance at all, that is, it could last at least tens of seconds. With such a huge amount of fire elemental magic, it is not difficult to kill thousands of people for tens of seconds.
Beside that female mage, there is also a white-robed mage, and with these two little mages, they dare to ignore their own will!
The mage landed quickly, and the people he had been carrying were still a few blocks away. In his opinion, it is enough to be alone.
Su pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver behind his back, this arrow was given to him by Saleen, and it could withstand his strongest sword qi. Taking a deep breath, Sue turned around and found that Salin was gone.
Su didn't think much about it, he pulled out the longbow, and the aura of that sixth-level magician was instantly locked. The difference in level made the mage not even realize that he was being targeted.
Salin suddenly appeared on a side path and rushed out sideways, riding a skeletal warhorse and slaying at the black-robed mage.
The black-robed mage had just landed, and he froze slightly, that white-robed mage was crazy? Even if he was close, his low-level magic couldn't hurt himself!
"Ha ......"
The black-robed mage laughed for a while, then stopped. He originally thought that the white-robed mage wanted to close the distance because of the difference in the levels of the two sides, and the white-robed mage's magic could not attack him. Unexpectedly, the elements around the white-robed mage's body fluctuated violently, and a thick fog appeared in the blink of an eye.
No, it's not fog anymore. Rather, it is an unusually condensed water element. This is not a white-robed mage at all, judging by the concentration of the water element, this is at least a sixth-level mage!
How could there be time to be in a daze on the battlefield, and when the black-robed mage was slightly stunned, a feather arrow shot down from the sky, penetrating his ice pattern armor, and directly shooting his body out of a hole with a diameter of nearly a foot.
Su's body shook immediately, and the war horse under his crotch fell down with an ordinary sound. There was nothing fancy about this arrow, just like what he learned when he first learned archery, every movement was the simplest and most direct. But this arrow condensed the Silver Sword Master's strongest sword qi attack.
After the feather arrow shot the black-robed mage, it immediately collapsed.
