Chapter Twenty-Seven: The War of Eternal Winter
The Eternal Winter Line
The Eternal Winter army has been storming the defense line for several months, but the momentum has not weakened, although they are all low-level monsters, the soldiers here know that the dragon will attack sooner or later. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Astor led his squad to fight for several days, and Sam, who was originally with him, died on the first day of the battle, but unfortunately there was no time for people to pay tribute to the dead in the Land of Eternal Winter, because soldiers fell every minute.
The monsters, perhaps tired from the continuous attacks, have finally begun to retreat in recent days, and Astor and his team have been given precious rest, of course they know that this is only temporary, and the monsters will start to attack again in a few days at most.
The reinforcements of the human race were far away, and no other troops were coming except for the replenishment of a team of 3,000 men in Winterfell, and the army of hundreds of thousands of defense lines seemed to be a lot, but they were scattered on a long line of defense, which was slightly thin.
The defense line sent a large number of ravens to send a message, hoping to get some response, and once the Yongdong defense line was breached, the Yongdong army could drive straight in, and then the whole west would be in chaos again.
Although the frozen city wall of 100 meters high and tens of meters wide effectively stopped the monsters, the loss of long-term combat personnel became a big problem, everyone drained all their energy, and the soldiers who changed the defense had no medical care and food, and everything went in a bad direction.
Dozens of members of Astor's team finally got precious rest, while Sam and several other members paid with their lives, simply digging a pit and turning it into their permanent home.
The people of Winterfell spontaneously organized convoys of supplies to support the defensive line, and the only garrison had already been dispatched, and the army of hundreds of thousands was now almost sustained by a small city, while the empires retained their strength because of mutual suspicion.
Regardless of whether Western countries are willing to send troops to support or not, any country that sends troops to Yongdong will inevitably pass through the territory of other countries, which is the main reason why the war lasted for several months without reinforcements.
After resting for a few days, the monster army of Eternal Winter began to move again, and at this time a few small blue dots were faintly seen in the sky, and the guards immediately recognized that it was the Frost Dragon, which had been weakened in the past few months, and the dragon appeared to break through the defense line faster.
"Cannon!!Bring out the enchanted cannon!! the dragon is coming!" shouted the sentries on the walls to get the people on the walls ready.
Boxes of cannonballs were loaded onto the walls of the fortress, the canvas of the enchanted artillery was lifted, and the giant crossbows were inserted into the beds, and the battle was about to break out, and Astor and his squad were sent to guard the three enchanted cannons.
The frost dragon flew closer and closer, and people could even see the white dragon breath spewing out of its nostrils, which would basically freeze into ice sculptures when sprayed by this dragon breath, and the magicians began to prop up their magic shields, and the city walls were instantly enveloped by a golden magic shield.
Aster, who led the team to catch up with the city, panicked when he saw the figure of the dragon, although this was not the first time he had seen a dragon, but its power was still fresh in his memory, even if it was hiding under the magic shield, it was difficult to resist its attack, which could only reduce the damage range, and the magic shield that faced the target that hit directly was like a thin piece of paper.
The arrival of the Frost Dragon was a matter of time, Astor didn't stop and led the team to the artillery that needed to be guarded, and most of the team members were recruits who were terrified of the Frost Dragon.
"Are you big girls?, the monsters below are waiting to enjoy your chrysanthemums'(*n_n*)' flowers, and if they're men, they're going to pop them for me!!!
"For the !! of eternal winter," the soldiers roared.
"For the Eternal Winter Line!!For the sake of the dead brothers!!!For Sam!!" Astor drew his broadsword.
"For Sam!!
The magicians held up their magic shields, countless fireballs smashed into the ground and air, the ballista bed slowly turned to aim at the target, and the enchanted cannons were fully loaded.
The three dragons reached the sky above the city wall in an instant, and several giant crossbows were destroyed at the top of the wall, spraying dozens of soldiers with dragon breath all the way and being frozen into ice sculptures.
At this time, even the people who were able to control the sky did not dare to step forward to fight against the frost dragon, and all the muzzles of the cannons were moving and aimed at the three-headed dragon, even the saint-level powerhouses did not dare to resist the power of the enchanted artillery.
Dozens of guns were aimed at the dragon, but unfortunately the moving target was undoubtedly a huge challenge for the bulky artillery, and the commanders did not expect every cannon to hit, they fixed the design coordinates for each gun, so that they could form a fire network to improve the chance of hitting the dragon.
The Frost Dragon had apparently discovered the threat of the Enchanted Cannon, and the hollow muzzle contained a huge amount of energy, and the Enchanted Cannon was a great pain for the Dragon, although it would not directly cause fatal damage to them, but it would be difficult to say if they were continuously hit.
A giant dragon flew towards an enchanted cannon, its mouth flashed with white light, and suddenly a white light shot towards the enchanted cannon, only to see that everything around the enchanted cannon was sealed by a huge icicle, and after a few seconds, the icicle shattered, and the people and objects inside turned into ice slag.
The wings of the dragon smashed into the city with countless icicles, and even with the protection of the magic shield, it could not bear the endless icicles, and countless people were pierced and died on the spot, and human tissue was visible everywhere.
"Open fire!! all fire!!" If you continue like this, the defense line will not last long, and the monsters under the city wall will also start to climb towards it, and if you don't drive away the dragon organization defense quickly, it will soon be occupied.
"Put!!"
"Put!!"
"Put.."
.................
"Bang!!bang!bang!!bang.........."
Dozens of enchanted cannons burst out in a row, and dozens of shells shot at the dragon, some of which were dodged by the frost dragon and fell to the ground, blasting some monsters to pieces.
It was obviously impossible for the dragon to dodge all the shells because of its sheer size, especially at such close range, when the gunners were constantly reloading and firing shells.
Three cannonballs flew towards a giant dragon, only to see the dragon open its mouth and a dragon's breath spewed out, and the three cannonballs instantly turned into ice balls and fell to the ground, but then a few more cannonballs flew behind, and the dragon did not react and was hit solidly.
"Boom!!!Boom!!Boom!!"
There were a few loud noises and the dragon was enveloped in the smoke from the explosion, but a whirlpool appeared in the smoke and gradually dispersed, and the dragon that was hit shook its head and was obviously not seriously injured.
However, if you look closely, you can see that there are some small scars on the body of the dragon that has been hit, and if you continue to be hit, even the dragon will be seriously injured, which is the power of the enchanted cannon. The cannonballs were constantly fired into the air, although the hit rate was low, but it could not withstand the large base, and the three dragons were injured to varying degrees, of course, this was the result of paying the price of several enchanted cannons being destroyed and thousands of people being frozen into ice sculptures.
The dragon was temporarily repulsed, and the people on the walls were able to organize themselves, and the monsters that were climbing up were repelled and barely resisted the first wave of attack.
