Chapter 1: War on
In front of the incomparably magnificent Aya City, a dense army of black pressure was assembled.
The neat queue, the hard armor, the cold spear standing towards the sky, glowing with a slight chill in the moonlight.
Such a large army does not hear a single noise of people. Only the non-stop whistling of the north wind, the crunch of swords clashing, and the "snort" of armor rubbing against each other reached the human ear.
"Tonight, the Victories of the Mitchells, my fearless soldiers, wield the steel swords in your hands and let the blood of the Aya spill over their cities. The once glorious city of Aya is about to be trampled by our iron hooves, and this supreme glory is about to belong to us!", Stamford, the commander of the Michel Dynasty, raised the saber in his hand, and straddled a war horse with a scorching breath all over his body, shouting, running sideways in front of the overwhelming army!
The shouts full of fighting spirit, and the "poof" sound made by the saber colliding with the spears of the soldiers in the front row, made the morale surge high!
The battle-hardened soldiers left behind the last trace of fear of death in their hearts.
As Legion Commander Stanford's final "attack" slogan sounded, the black-pressed crowd began to spread towards Aya City in front!
The shouts of soldiers, the clash of swords and shields, the "snort" of armor rubbing against each other, and the "grunt" of trebuchets and siege towers filling the area in an instant.

The walls of Aya City were thirty meters high, an endless width in the darkness, and from a distance, one could only faintly see the towering border mountains on both sides, which were plunged into darkness.
On the city wall, rows of soldiers were neatly arranged in formation, and there were many people, but compared to the soldiers besieging the city, they seemed so rare. But there was not a hint of fear or fear in their eyes.
There are no cowards in the soldiers of Aya City, they are all fearless!
The cold wind was blowing, but it couldn't extinguish the fiery faith in their hearts.
Once upon a time, their parents lived a precarious life every day.
In this chaotic land, life is as fragile as a small flame that will pass away with the wind at any moment.
But their king brought peace and the right to exist to their fathers, and to them.
They are no longer displaced in the city of Aya, and whenever they see the refugees who have rushed to their city because of the war, they are extremely glad that they are Aya.
"My king has built the city for fifteen years, in order to protect us in this chaotic land of war!" Standing on a high platform in the center of the city walls, Khambul, the defender of the city of Aya, raised his sword and cried out loudly, "Because of my king, we all have a land of abundance and happiness, and because of my king, we all have happy and healthy families."
"But it's tonight!" Cambuur's long knife pointed at the army that was about to move in the distance, "the Michael dynasty, which has always coveted our city of Aya, has sounded the horn of war! Warriors of Aya! Let us raise our blades and guard the holy place in our hearts! Tonight! β
"Swear to live and die with Aya City!"
"Swear to live and die with Aya City!"
The earth-shattering cry erupted from the mouth of the Aya soldiers, the immortal faith, the momentum that erupted seemed to soar straight into the sky, and the dark starry sky was slightly red.
Fighting inevitably broke out, and Stanford quickly issued orders, numerous of which were conveyed to the various generals in the camp by hundreds of heralds.
Thousands of catapults outside the city walls were the first to sound the horn of the siege war.
The rocks weighing about 500 hundred kilograms were continuously thrown into the city of Aya, and the boulders that fell on the ground of the Aya city wall shot the shattered flying stones at the soldiers around them! Except for the rolling boulders that could crush the heavily armed soldiers, the debris that shot could not cause too much damage to the soldiers who exuded fighting spirit from the outside!
The boulders that fell like a shower did not cause too many casualties to the soldiers defending the city!
Even if a few boulders occasionally flew over the front of the walls, they roared into the reserves hidden behind the walls.
The neatly arranged reserves hidden in the back did not mess up because of the arrival of the boulders!
Flesh and blood, they raised their shields and raised their heads to meet the rapidly falling boulder.
The flesh from the boulder's landing splattered in all directions, and then bounced and rolled forward under the influence of the inertia. It took dozens of lives to stop the boulder from moving forward.
There was no terrible roar, only a pair of eyes that were even redder from the bright red blood!
The prelude to an attack is always short, and the most brutal wars follow.
When Michelle's army threw several rounds of rocks, I saw that in Michel's army, there were about 10,000 very strong soldiers who were two meters tall and long, neatly lined up in front of the catapult, and they were fully armed with heavy armor at this time, especially the armor of the hands was 5 cm thick, and extended on 2 sides. It resembles a small round shield, but it is very sharp all around. The people of the Lands of Chaos call these people - the Heavy Shields.
They are the real dead, and they exist to take down the city's defenses. In addition to Aya City, every city and dynasty in the land of chaos has cultivated this kind of soldiers, and they are cultivating the most common "heavy muscles" in the earth-based fighting qi, and the effect of this fighting qi itself is only to improve the physical fitness of the human body, and ordinary people only increase their physical strength when they cultivate. But in the land of chaos, this place full of death, deformed monsters emerge in an endless stream, a crazy alchemist, when doing experiments, found that a person who has practiced heavy muscle techniques, if he uses the nourishing agent made by wood magic and water magic to nourish his body, it can give birth to his body's life potential in a short period of time, accelerate the reproduction of the body's cells, and make him increase the density, strength and defense of ** again. But unfortunately, the life expectancy of people born in this way will be reduced to a large extent. Serious people don't live to be 30 years old, and those with strong vitality can live to 50 years old at most.
When this secret recipe was announced by the alchemists, the lords of the land of chaos found that the production of this nourishment was very simple, only an ordinary water mage and wood mage could be easily made, which made all the lords crazy, for them, the life of the soldier was worthless.
A huge magic array has been carved in the open space in front of each row of catapults, and hundreds of 1-3 star mages of the civil engineering system have gathered in these magic arrays.
Covered by the soil system, The magic circle composed of the earth dust technique and the wood winding technique, the heavy armor warriors quickly walked into the magic array one by one, half-squatting and posing in the defensive posture they had practiced tens of millions of times, the soft branches and leaves covered the body of the armor warriors at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they were thickly wrapped in several layers, and then saw that the branches and leaves were instantly covered with a thick layer of hard as steel, and one by one huge circular artificial throwing stones were completed, and the throwers who had been preparing on the side continued to enter and exit the magic array, lifting these artificial stones into the throwing machine and projecting them into Aya Cityγ
Whistling human cannonballs, smashed into the city walls. When the human cannonballs began to fly into the city, the reserve queue of the Aya people was slowly activated, and the five of them were a small team, methodically surrounding the humanoid boulders that flew into the city. The boulder collided with the city wall and the flying debris had no effect on the Aya soldiers, who quickly surrounded them. When the dust is raised, the timing of the Rock Covering and Twig Wrapping Techniques is lifted, and the War Machine is revealed.
At this time, hundreds of conical towers outside the city, 40 meters high and 7-8 meters wide on all sides, were pushed to 20 meters from the city walls. The towers were densely packed with Michelle's soldiers, and at the top platform of each tower, hundreds of piercing crossbow arrows blessed by gold magic sharpness were fired, dragging ox tendon ropes blessed by wood tenacity and whistling into the thick city walls. When the ox tendon rope was fixed, the soldiers who had been prepared on the platform hung upside down one after another and rushed down to the sky.
Countless ladders and wall-climbing crossbows were erected by the soldiers below the city walls, and the freshly built ladders were quickly overwhelmed by the soldiers, and the most inconspicuous panta crossbows in the night also flashed with agile figures.
However, the most dangerous place in Aya City is the city gate, which is 10 meters high and 15 meters wide, and a vacuum zone has been formed in front of the city gate. Dense soldiers, holding high steel shields, stood on both sides of the road, their eyes staring at the city gate with expressionless eyes, as if they wanted to shoot through the thick gate with their eyes.
The ground has been treated by the engineering corps, and it is flat and unobstructed. The drums of war had been beaten, the shouts of killing had already shook the sky, but there was still a shout in the distance of the road.
A 7-8 meter high siege chariot was pushed by hundreds of strong men with upper bodies, and slowly accelerated towards the city gate. Each strong man is blessed with the Great Strength Technique and the Wind Technique, which allows them to run faster and have more strength.
The front of the siege car is a cone-shaped body made of metal, which is blessed by dozens of gold mages with sharp arts, the body is very heavy, fire-resistant, and resistant to hits, and the body has eight wheels, each wheel is taller than a person. In the process of pushing, the location of the city gate can only be judged by the white lines drawn by the engineers on both sides of the road and the soldiers on both sides.
The speed of the siege vehicle became faster and faster, and the sharp points pierced through the air, making a clattering sound, and the air currents generated on both sides of the road that they walked along the way actually made the armored soldiers on both sides sway.
The city gate, which has been blessed with countless heavy techniques and all kinds of anti-attack techniques, looks so fragile in front of the siege vehicle at this moment, and such a collision may completely shatter the gate at once.
