The city lord of Iron Key City was quite polite, and treated the three girls of Zhou Shu and Ban Shi'er as guests, but the four of them obviously didn't rely on this news to come to eat and drink, they still had work to do.

Zhou Shu pretended that his lingua franca was not smooth and did not squeak beside the city lord, as a foreigner, he had the privilege of pretending to be stupid. Ban Shi'er was very miserable to be asked by the city lord, because she had already reported the name of the Knight King's envoy before, and now she could only accompany her to talk about some topics in White Moon City.

The most embarrassing of the four is Natty, the poor woman came here with two tasks, one of which was obviously a failure to deal with the falcon killer, and the other was to assassinate the city lord in front of her. She has been taking on this task for a long time, and she has never had a chance to start, and now the situation is rare, but it is impossible for her to cause trouble at this juncture.

Zhou Shu is now waiting for the defenders on the other side of the city gate to report the bad news, and then he can stand up and ask for help in defending the city.

Since the gray witch has something to do and can't come over for the time being, Zhou Shu needs to help the city survive until tomorrow's Aleusha's support. He really wanted to help the city lord defend the city, but he didn't have the option of the four of himself rushing out to fight the wolves, it would be too dangerous.

Master Zhou is also a person with an army of animals, so he knows best what it will be like when there are many monsters. If you want to defend the city, you still need to rely on the high walls and mechanisms of the Iron Key City, which is plugged in front of the city, plus the two 10,000-strong legions stationed in the city.

The defenders of the city soon ran to report the situation of the gate in front to their furry city lord, and according to the feedback of the defenders, the number of monsters besieging the city may have reached more than 50,000.

Fifty thousand, a monster of five legions. Zhou Shu hadn't fought with werewolf monsters, but judging from the three hundred summoning points of this thing, it was definitely much stronger than ordinary humans. He was tempted to go to the city gates now. If possible, it is also an option to go down and fight in person, provided that you put on your armor and are well prepared, otherwise Ban Shi'er, who is missing an arm, will be a role model.

Speaking of preparation, Zhou Shu took out his snack pocket and began to send high-calorie dried fruits to his mouth. The Book of Summons quantified his body's energy, and he had been flying in the sky for a long time with fire in his breath. Fuel bottomed out. For what might happen next, he had to eat something.

The city lord thought that Zhou Shu was hungry, so he would eat in front of the city lord's hall and a group of sergeants and nobles, and wanted to send someone to invite him down to eat.

"Leave me alone. Zhou Shu also had to speak. Since he has never dealt with any big people at all, in the words of the first world, he has 'never seen the market, has not been in contact with society', so the tone is not appropriate.

Would the lord of the city tolerate a foreigner who is under siege in his own city and has someone crunching there to eat while he discusses with the sergeant what to do?

The answer is yes, he allows. As the lord of the city. He has a big heart.

The news from the defenders was terrible, and the lord decided to leave his seat and go to the city wall to supervise the battle. The battle came too inexplicably and quickly, although the Hawkman had sent a werewolf monster before, which made the city lord a little more vigilant, but he didn't expect to face such a situation so soon.

Zhou Shu and Ban Shi'er asked to go together, and Shun Lì was granted. Since the alarm bell rang in the city, there were no more people on the streets, and even the homeless beggars had found some holes in the cats. A huge city. There are still many holes.

Zhou Shu followed the city lord, thinking that he would take a car or something. As a result, a large group of people walked over in such a mighty manner, which was faster than preparing for the carriage and horses, after all, the city was unimpeded.

The closer he got to the city wall, the more strange sounds filled Zhou Shu's ears. He heard a large number of beast roars, which sounded somewhat terrifying. Turning her head to look at the people around her, the three of them frowned. It seemed that he also heard this voice, but the city lord and the nobles and officials in the city did not react, and none of them reached the star level.

Judging from Cheng Dù, who was squeaking and screaming outside the city, Zhou Shu could judge the scale of this battle. But hearing is false, and when he mingles with the sergeants, he climbs the city wall. After seeing the werewolf monsters that looked like yellow sand all over the mountains, he was completely convinced.

Recently, Lord Zhou has experienced many such big scenes, from the basilisk to the army of the Worm Queen, but the largest scale is the one in front of him.

Werewolf monsters are like crowds crowded in the subway during rush hour, rubbing shoulders to fill everything as far as the eye can see.

"This is 50,000 people? 5 million are there, right?" Zhou Shu really didn't act as a scout, and he also said a discouraged word.

The archer crossed his shoulders and said coolly: "If this is the case with the other city gates, the number of monsters is fifty or sixty thousand. She seems to have researched this aspect of her work.

Ban Shi'er nodded, "The monsters are very large, and they seem to be a lot of them, but in fact, there are more than 10,000 of them in front of you." ”

Werewolf monsters are covered in hair, and like the city lord, they look quite fluffy, covering an area more than twice that of ordinary humans. If they had been shaved, it would not have had the same effect as it is now.

At this time, the defenders on the city wall were shooting in order, but they heard a sergeant report to the lord of the city that there were less than 10,000 arrows.

The werewolf monsters had no siege equipment, not even ladders, and if they were humans, they would not have been able to capture the city if they lived under the city walls until they died of old age. Unfortunately, however, the claws of these wolves were like heads, and the werewolf monster jumped up and crashed into the wooden drawbridge, and then punched violently, and the drawbridge was smashed in minutes, leaking out a slightly stronger gate.

Iron Key City only has a three-meter-wide waterway at the city gate, and it is not a moat at all. This waterway is designed to prevent siege engines from breaking through the gates, and nothing can get in with these three meters. Well, now, the werewolf jumped on the door like a grasshopper, and just scratched with its paws to cause enough damage.

"Isn't there an iron fence or something outside this city gate?" Zhou Shu frowned for a while, feeling that this city was more auspicious than lucky.

Ban Shi'er didn't complain, "The city gate already has a closed suspension bridge as the first line of protection, but no one would have thought that the suspension bridge would be broken so lightly." ”

"Unexpected?" Zhou Shu was skeptical, "If you throw a watermelon-sized stone at the suspension bridge, do you think there is a possibility that the door will not break?"

"Uh......" Ban Shi'er looked at his empty left arm sleeve. Looks embarrassed. "Not now, I'm afraid. ”

Zhou Shu felt that this girl was quite pitiful, Ban Shi'er was more like an ordinary person than the Bow Knight and Nati, at least not like the two of them, one pretending to be cool and the other playing idiot. As a normal person, he experienced the most unfortunate situation, and Zhou Shu felt worthless.

"The defense of this city is so poor, I participated in the defense of the city when it was defeated. Even the arches of the defeated city and the gate of the urn city are all neat and uniform iron plates, and no one can enter. ”

The former gate of Iron Key City was indeed an iron plate, which was hoisted by huge lifting equipment in peacetime, but it was lowered in wartime, and the dragon's flames could not break through. However, this kind of iron plate is exposed to the rain forest and sun, and it has to be replaced with a new one every few years, which costs a lot of money, and you must know that the iron key city has seven city gates. Coupled with the cost of hoisting machinery maintenance, this investment is very large.

At present, Iron Key City belongs to the hinterland of the kingdom. There is the natural danger of valleys and mountains in front, and behind it is a large plain where a flat river can quickly mobilize troops, and basically does not need any special protection.

In this case, the iron gate was removed, but there were still new goods wrapped in oiled paper in the warehouse, which were only temporarily placed in wartime. As a result, the werewolf came so suddenly, there was not even an iron net in the direction of the city gate.

Master Zhou is planning to find an opportunity to talk to the city lord. Let yourself command the defenders of the city. It's not that he doesn't think he has any special talent in defending the city, mainly because Zhou Shu can set a fire. If he could, he would like to get something to fuel the walls and let the defenders on the walls throw them out.

It doesn't seem necessary now, and if you watch the excitement here, you can run away with the girls in your arms, and he doesn't have the experience of manned flights.

In order to prevent carrying people when he was inexperienced, Zhou Shu also pushed away the idle people around him on the city wall, saying 'let let'. Make a relatively large open space to come out. Then he casually stood up and jumped high, and the star's lower limbs made him jump quite high in the air. Then the flame of the palm of his hand rose, and Master Zhou successfully floated into the air.

"Magician!?"

As soon as this hand was revealed, a cadre on the city wall and others directly misunderstood. The magicians of this world can't fly, at least not yet, there are no recognized magicians who can fly. Only one Idreni can float.

Zhou Shufei was completely unskilled, but he still went out of the city wall and set a fire on the back of the werewolf who was gnawing at the wooden door. His flames move at will, and they are lit everywhere they can see, which is quite convenient. The werewolf monster caught fire in his back and rolled straight down the door. After several werewolves fell into the river, the surface of the broken wooden door was revealed, and it was already crumbling. If the werewolf could be smarter at this time and throw a few of his companions as stones at the door, it is estimated that the door will be smashed in minutes. What's worse is that Iron Key City has seven gates, and if there is no problem, the other six are estimated to be the same virtue.

The help of a magician obviously emboldened the soldiers defending the city on the city walls, and the speed of drawing the bow and shooting arrows slowed down significantly, as if they were already waiting for the magician to carry themselves.

The fact is that Zhou Shu has just burned a batch, and the new werewolf jumps on the door and continues to beat the door, unless he keeps staying here and setting fire, otherwise it will be a matter of minutes for the gate to be breached.

Obviously, this is not the worst-case scenario. In the direction of several other city gates, bells rang to mark the breakthrough of the city gates with enemy troops.

This gate was attended by the lord of the city and a number of nobles, so the defenders defended it with 200% of their spirits, causing far more trouble to the werewolves than the other six gates. In other words, if this gate is crumbling, then the others should be broken.

Zhou Shu knew that he was wrong today, but he didn't expect this broken city to be so bad. Not to mention that there are no things such as crossbows, rolling wood and hot oil that are common in defending cities, and there are not even enough arrows. What is the concept of 10,000 arrows? When the defeated city launched an attack on the forest army below the city, 70,000 or 80,000 arrows could be shot out in half an hour.

For a city that has not suffered a war for decades, it only takes a few minutes to prepare the city defense equipment, and it would be strange to have those things that Zhou Shu had in his head.

Rolling wood and stones must be carried, crossbows to defend the city are to be taken out of warehouses and put on the city walls, and boiling oil is to be carried and pots to be burned on bonfires. The werewolf monster came too fast, as if a divine soldier had descended from the sky. From seeing them in the sky to seeing them right under your nose, it was only ten minutes.

The city lord still didn't show a flustered look after hearing the bell, but Master Zhou knew that this guy was not a bamboo in his chest, but he was usually good at cultivating qi, and he would not show his feelings on his face at will.

Now, the fate of this city is likely to be the same as that of the three cities in the Vale Mountains. Citizens would be bitten to death, then wasted on the ground and slowly rot under the summer temperatures.

Nati and the three of them were anxious at this time, and yelled in the direction of Zhou Shu who flew out, asking him to come over.

Zhou Shu hurriedly threw a dozen fireballs on the ground to block the werewolf, and then came over in a hurry, wanting to hear if they had any good solutions, but the three women made him angry as soon as they spoke.

Nati: "Zhou Shu, can you allow us to help the defenders in the city?"

When he said this, Master Zhou remembered. It turned out that the three of them didn't do it because they had been keeping their agreement with themselves. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Okay, okay, hurry up, I'll go over to help you when I have time." He said this with great confidence, for he saw soldiers carrying wooden barrels with fire prevention signs on them on the city wall, and the contents were supposed to be fire oil. With this, Zhou Shu felt that he should be able to pull out his hand.

Flames should have a damage bonus against beasts. Zhou Shu's game thinking accumulated over the years told him. After the three girls got permission to fight, Zhou Shu gave them candy to eat. Make them a little stronger, and then the three of them ran away from the walls in the direction of the bell.

The city lord will know the strength of the few guys in front of him who have reported to him, and he wants to say a few words to Zhou Shu and promise some rewards to motivate him to work hard to defend the city, but he watched a golden bull appear out of thin air and smashed it to the ground mercilessly.

Zhou Shu's golden bull was smashed so many times, and then it was deformed. Gold is soft. This golden bull is not a magic item like the armor made by Zhou Shu before, and this time it was smashed a little hard, and it directly broke a corbel. Similarly, there are seven or eight werewolves whose legs have been broken by oxen, and this kind of attack is much more efficient than archery.

A golden calf with a broken leg can still be transformed back into the Book of Treasures. But the part that was cut off could not be recovered. Zhou Shu felt very sorry for his cow, anyway, this thing was also given to his eldest lady by himself, and now this love token is ruined.

According to the philosophical theory of broken windows, non-broken windows fallacies, things that appear flawed will become less cherished by humans and will soon become more worn. This theory can now be perfectly used to explain what Zhou Shu is doing, and he is also a little disdainful of the cow that can no longer stand up on the flat ground, so he simply lets it go, and constantly takes the cow back and releases it, allowing it to fall freely to kill and injure the enemy.

The golden bull rained down on the ground, becoming a nightmare for werewolf monsters, and Zhou Shu was a little used to summoning things from the Book of Treasures, and the frequency of attacks was getting faster and faster. After more than 20 free falls, the golden bull's head was broken, and all its limbs were gone, leaving only the body part like a strange rock on the top of the mountain.

The lord of the city saw that the golden bull was the thing of a magician flying in the sky, and it was very heartbroken to see it turn from a beautiful handicraft into a simple gold nugget, and so did the soldiers on the city wall who saw this scene.

Such a generous Lord Zhou also stimulated the city lord, who decided to break the fortune and small disaster, and ordered his subordinates to find their finance minister to open the treasury and buy fire oil from the people in the city for the purpose of defending the city. As for the oil drums that had been moved to the city wall, he was sure that the foreign magicians would definitely help him light them.

It was a very luxurious thing to throw fire oil directly into the city, and what the defeated army poured into the city was boiled asphalt and some boiled filth. All it takes is for these things to burn a soldier's skin a little, and the infection caused will kill them.

Iron Key City didn't have time to collect these things at all, so it could only play hard and throw money at the oil. Zhou Shu watched more than a dozen barrels of oil being thrown out by the trebuchet, and he was also very cooperative in igniting these things before they hit the ground, and the oil exploded in a small area, and the fire oil burned and splashed on these long-haired monsters, and the effect was outstanding.

The fire caused by two barrels of oil perfectly defended the city gate with flames. Lord Zhou shouted at the city lord, "I'll go somewhere else to help, you guys come on." Then he flew away.

Zhou Shu now needs to guard the city until tomorrow morning, and for now, this is already an impossible task. The standard of the legions in Iron Key City was very poor, after the city gate was breached, werewolves poured out from the doorway, and the people who stood in the way were well-armed soldiers armed with spears and shields, hundreds. As a result, these people didn't hold on for even ten minutes, and were beaten to the point that they lost their armor and were bitten to death.

Zhou Shu flew all the way to the first breached city gate, he raised a wall of fire at the city gate to help block it, and the newly jumped wolf was directly on fire, and after a while, he was dragged down by the hair on his body and burned to death. As for the wolves that have already broken into the city, Nati is picking them up.

This girl's fighting style is quite heavy, and her hands are clutching weapons that look like iron plates more than iron swords, and she spins in circles on the spot.

"Sword Saint, are you?" Zhou Shu spat out from afar, and Nati didn't understand either. It's still going around there, and the attack effect is pretty good.

Now Zhou Shu needs to think about how to block the broken door. He didn't have the strength to set fire to the gates of the city. (To be continued......)
