Chapter 26: Battle of Mochizuki Castle (3)
"Whew!Whew!"
The warriors of the Ironfist Castle Guard formed a circular phalanx. Walking slowly forward with neat steps, the 5,000 warriors made a loud footstep every time they took a solid step, and the sound they made was even murmuring when so many people marched together.
In the past, when Ryan led Allendo, Colin, Thomas and others to desperately block the attack of the orc army in the imperial capital, they had already felt the power of this phalanx infantry, and a group of trained warriors raised their shields to form a solid shield wall to protect the rest of their allies.
Now, the Guards Legion established by Ryan himself is such a force, they have been established since the first day, for these Cassano warriors, Ryan only emphasizes one point, that is, discipline, after a long period of deposition, this army has really grown, their whole body is made of Mithril armor, which has a strong resistance to ordinary attacks, and the Mithril shield in their hands is attached to the friendly army with powerful defensive magic, which can greatly weaken the spell attack of the enemy magician, it can be said that on the battlefield, the Iron Fist Castle Guard Legion is Ryan's most trusted shield。
Adela stood in the center of the entire circular phalanx with an agitated expression, when Cassano was still in the three families fighting each other, although the army she could command was tens of thousands, but the quality of the soldiers could not be compared with the Guards Legion, although Adela was a woman, but she was determined to fight all her life since she was a child, and established merit that was not inferior to that of men, and after hard work, Adela began to control most of the force of her family at the age of 16.
When Ryan followed Vivien into Cassano, Adela also experienced a series of ups and downs in her life, just when she thought that she would probably become a man's plaything and spend the rest of her life in obscurity, but she did not expect that she had such an elite army under this man.
Trained by the Empire's most elite troops, trained in the same way as the undefeated Royal Knights, covered in armor made of Mithril, which is more valuable than gold, with two of his comrades supporting each other, and most importantly, behind Adela stood a legendary mage, a powerful presence that could change the outcome of any battle......
Adela gave the order loudly, directing his men to move slowly. Now, almost all the external support she can have is in her hands, and the only thing Adela has to do now is to calm down, exert all the power in her hands to the extreme, and leave her own eternal page in the history of the continental war.
"Stand!" Adela shouted the order, and she noticed that hundreds of warriors dressed in Mochizuki City were approaching in formation, and although the faces of the other party were full of fear, they still did not drop their weapons.
"Step!" The 5,000 fighters stopped directly, and this extremely disciplined action gave great psychological pressure to the enemy who was about to resist stubbornly. Adela visually measured the distance between the two sides, and then sent a request to Barbara inside the circular fortress: "Barbara, 150 meters ahead, fireball throw!"
Barbara whispered yes, and beckoned her magic apprentices to start casting spells. These magic apprentices who can only release magic missiles can already skillfully release fireballs after using the skills of combining magic arrays, but the range of fireballs is usually tens of meters away, if you want to increase the range, you must change the spells and gestures of the entire spell casting process, obviously this is what Barbara's magic apprentices can't do, everything they do is achieved through countless exercises, and they can't change a single bit at all.
Of course, this problem has long been thought of by Ryan, and his solution is very simple, that is, another group of magic apprentices will release an air magic to hold the released fireball farther away to achieve the purpose of adjusting the range. Through this method, although an additional group of magic apprentices will be used, the range of the fireball technique has been increased from tens of meters to 200 meters, which can already achieve a practical effect in warfare.
"Whew!" After a large area of red light flashed, more than two dozen fireballs were thrown from above the Iron Fist Castle Guard, and these hot fireballs drew an elegant arc in the air like stone bullets thrown by a catapult, and flew directly into the enemy position on the opposite side.
"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of explosions immediately tore all the Mochizuki City warriors who were planning to resist to pieces, but the range of these fireballs was still somewhat different, and three of them completely deviated from their intended position and smashed into the nearby wooden house, and the fireball exploded and immediately caused a raging fire in the wooden house. In just a few seconds, a few guys with flames all over their bodies ran out of the wooden house, looking at the clothes on their bodies, they were actually also warriors from Mochizuki City, obviously they were planning to ambush and sneak attack, but they were solved by the fireball that missed the shot.
Adela watched without pity as the warriors were burned to the ground by the fire, she looked around and found that Leitoz and Roger, their popular marksmen, had been roaming around her neighborhood on their horses, shooting some enemies who were going to resist on the ground, but it was difficult for the horses to maintain good mobility on the streets like flat ground, and from time to time there would be enemies with their doom to the streets, trying to knock these wind shooters to the ground, but unfortunately their weapons could not help the archers wearing Mithril chain mail, but were directly killed by the archers with the Mithril sword。
Adela shook his head slightly, the Wind Archer should use mobility to widen the distance between them and the enemy, and then use the rain of arrows to destroy the enemy, but now they are engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, this is a great fee, obviously it is a wrong way to bind them around the shield wall fortress, they should be allowed to gallop freely on the streets of Mochizuki City, as much as possible to create chaos in the city, maybe this way of fighting will cause some losses, but it can bring a fatal blow to the enemy, it is still worth using under the trade-off。
Arad turned her head, intending to discuss with Ryan, but as soon as her eyes saw Ryan, Ryan spoke softly: "You are now the commander-in-chief of the entire army, even if it is me, I must obey your command." Adela, give yourself a little confidence, all you lack is an opportunity, and it is right in front of you. ”
Ade's heart was hot, she nodded slightly at Ryan, and immediately gave an order, letting the entire Wind Archer find a target to attack on their own based on a team of 50 people, while Adela continued to move towards the intended target, and finally arrived at the center of Mochizuki City, where the Mochizuki City Magic Guild was located.
After receiving Adela's orders, Letoz and the others greeted each other and dispersed. The streets of Mochizuki City are quite spacious, the main streets are enough for 8 carriages to run side by side, which is enough for the popular archers to gallop wildly and quickly tear apart the defense line of Mochizuki City, while some of the streets that are not very spacious, these popular archers simply dismount and walk, and some even climb directly onto the roof, condescendingly began to search, as long as they find any warriors or magicians in Mochizuki City, they will immediately clear them with bows and arrows, and once they encounter huge resistance, they will send a signal, so that other popular archer teams in the vicinity will consider them at a very fast speed and concentrate their forces to solve the enemy。
The combat method of the Wind Archer is quite similar to that of the Clay light cavalry, in fact, this unit is simply the idea that Ryan germinated after being attacked by the Clay tribe on the way back to the imperial capital from the Thor Fortress, so all its combat methods are imitating the famous Clay light cavalry on the mainland, and at the same time, because many of these warriors were originally born Orion, and they have also been trained by the elven wind archers, coupled with their long-range Mithril longbow and the whole body of Mithril protection, in terms of combat effectiveness, it has long exceeded the target they imitated.
If it were on the savannah, this army of archers would exert even more formidable power, as the expedition to the savannah had proved not long ago. However, even if it is because of the fact that they are fighting in the city, there are some discounts in terms of mobility, but the popular shooters are still enough to cause great damage to Mochizuki City, they set fire everywhere, causing panic among the residents of the city, after all, the city has been far away from the war for many years, and many people have not even seen blood, once they see the scene of fire everywhere, they think that this magic capital has fallen, which naturally greatly hits the morale of Mochizuki City and weakens their will to resist.
Of course, the role of the Storm Shooter is not only that, according to some statistics after the war, one of the important reasons why the Moon City Magic Guild is in a state of collapse is the ravages of these Storm Shooters. Mochizuki City is the capital of magic, magicians can naturally be seen everywhere, when Cassano's army suddenly attacked, these magicians were not immediately effectively organized, many of them were scattered in all corners of the city, once this kind of lone magician was discovered by the wind archer, it was immediately a rain of arrows, and naturally became a hedgehog, even if someone was lucky enough to complete one or two protective magic or use magic items, they also became the souls of the demon breakers, this is the secret skill of the elven wind shooter, and it is also one of the fundamental reasons why they become mage nemesis。
Adela didn't know how much damage her makeshift order had done to the entire magic system of Mochizuki City, and she was directing her subordinates to move on. As the Guards gradually penetrated deeper into Mochizuki City, it was naturally impossible to completely wipe out everything around, after all, it would consume the mana of the mages meaninglessly, so as long as the entire circular fortress made of shields could be ensured, Adela would leave the buildings on both sides of the road as they were.
