Chapter 390 Angels of War
The year 22 A.D. in the Noxian calendar.
On September 11, the war materials from the Emerald Collar arrived at Fort Northumbre under the continuous transportation of large ships, because the ships equipped with the magic crystal power plant could go upriver at a higher speed, this time Lyster did not choose to turn overland in the Gorrell Mountains, but detoured north from the underground water network of the Black Iron River of the Immortal Fortress, leaving aside some short-sighted bandits, and the new transportation route made the arrival time even faster than taking the land route.
Enough to supply 30,000 people for half a year's cold and logistical supplies gave the Emerald Leader full confidence in battle, integrating Alice's 5,000 people, 20,000 Emerald Territory native soldiers and Northumberburg's Noxus Warband were reorganized into Alice Legion and Margaret Legion, led by Alice and Margaret respectively, opened the formation, changed into warm clothes, and the legion went straight to the Karyas anvil.
On October 15, the two legions that had completed the assembly officially launched an artillery bombardment at the southern foot of the north peak of the Three Consecutive Peaks, and the crossbow of the immortal shield bow and the stone thrower smashed on the sudden magic energy shield, and the Heidi soldiers on the city wall launched a counterattack, which was blocked by the shield of the black rose mage.
On November 1st, the magic shield energy of the Caryas anvil ran out, the walls collapsed, and Margaret's legion, with the Noxus Black Guard as the vanguard, successfully captured the tower under the cover of the Black Rose Mage, and under the frenzied attack, the Heidi retreated one after another, and the legionnaires launched several attacks on the inner fortress wall built by the mountain but with little success, and the legion was blocked under the crimson black crater.
Under the magical attack of the Heidi people, the two major legions began to suffer casualties, and coupled with the Heidi reinforcements from the north side of the mountain peak, the mountain city fortress finally blocked the sharp edge of the Emerald Leader.
After the military meeting, knowing that the terrain of the three peaks of Pagrus was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, Lyster, who had been in a state of spectatorship, decided to dispatch extraordinary combat power.
In the case that he can't do it at will, this is the only reason he brought Misha over.
……
Dawn broke on November 5, and it was still dark.
On top of the walls of the city of Calyas Anvil, the Great General Gugar was inspecting the defenses with a serious face, constantly reminding the soldiers with torches to dodge the incoming magical attacks.
There are a total of 30,000 defenders in the fortress, and they have lost nearly 10,000 soldiers under the attack of the Emerald Leader, if you count the losses in the battle of Xuelai Fortress and the battle between Fort Norska and Noxus, the 60,000 soldiers who went south to prepare for the battle this time have lost nearly one-third, and the beginning of the high casualties is after encountering the Emerald Leader's legion, he has been deeply aware of how difficult his enemy is, and at this time he is not willing to make a mistake on the battlefield.
By rotating soldiers in batches, the soldiers who have depleted their mana can be given a chance to recover, and the remaining ordinary people are responsible for throwing the prepared rolling stones and logs down the mountain.
Relying on the mountain fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Heidi only needed to defend the zigzag mountain wall to the south to block the enemy's attack, even so, Gugal did not dare to take it lightly, and every time there was a battle, he would inevitably personally inspect the battle situation and check for omissions.
Standing on the zigzag wall and looking down, the inverted slope of more than 20 meters is intimidating, and the mountain is as hard as a knife and axe, and the special cement wall ash is poured, even the terrible dark red siege ballista can only be shallowly inserted into the rock wall to bring out a spider web, and it is impossible to break the wall at all, the mountain wall itself is built on the mountain, and the wall cannot be destroyed in an ordinary way.
If you don't take into account the magic attack, if you want to take this mountain city by ordinary means, I'm afraid you will have to fill the city walls with corpses.
Unless it was attacked from above from the north side of the mountain, even Gugar himself could not think of a way to break through such a dangerous city.
By the time Gugar had made a round, the distant sky had already appeared white.
"Woo woo ~ ~ ~ woo woo ~ ~~"
The heavy sound of trumpets echoed in the sky, and all the tense Heidi soldiers relaxed a little, poking their heads into the depths of the looming Black Tide.
"Alert! Alert! Alert!! Defend the mage and turn on the spell shield! ”
The captain's rough voice made everyone raise their hearts to their throats again, and they hurriedly retracted their heads behind the city walls.
Sure enough, light suddenly lit up in the darkness, and more than a dozen magic circles flashed with dazzling halos, and a few seconds later, hot or cold shaping magic struck from beneath the city, exploding at the top of the city wall, blocked by the transparent energy shield.
"Hah! That's all the barbarian mages of Noxus, and the next thing is to throw the kind of alchemy bolts that explode, and then they will throw small stones for a day with their stone throwers, as if then we will surrender......"
"They have long been exhausted, and it is impossible for them to break through our defenses, and if you want me to say, General Gugal is too nervous, and we don't need to toss ourselves like this every day......"
"Shhhh
"Hiss......"
The frowning Gugar didn't care about the whispered conversation of the soldiers, he just stared at the gradually lit up black tide thousands of kilometers away, and vaguely noticed that it seemed that this time the black tide was nearly five hundred meters or so closer than before, and it was completely within the attack range of his own magic.
The soldiers of the Emerald Territory had never done this before.
"First round of spell preparation!"
"Release!"
"Second round of spell preparation!"
"Release!"
"Third round of spell preparation!"
"Release!"
In the rain of light and light, the Emerald Leader's front in the distance also held up a large area of magic shield, and the magic shield was still decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no way to hold it for long.
Once the shield is broken, the soldiers of the Emerald Collar will be completely exposed to spell attacks, and in the style of the Emerald Collar, the soldiers will definitely not be allowed to be slaughtered, and the only option is to withdraw the army at that time.
The sun peeks out from the mountain tops in the east and dispells the darkness of the earth.
Just as the Heidi people on the city wall were a little relaxed, a familiar and terrifying scream came from a distance, and everyone, including the defensive mages supporting the shield, desperately shrank back at the back of the city wall, and the next moment, an earth-shattering explosion spread across the city wall, followed by life-devouring fireworks, even if they had been prepared for a long time, there were still dozens of unlucky soldiers who turned into burning men in the flames, reduced to charred corpses.
In his free time to reload his crossbow, the swearing Heidi mage began to re-prepare his magic.
Rising from the ground, Gugar heard a discordant rhythm in the noise.
It's like ...... The sound of wings flapping.
"What's that?"
"Is there something flying?"
"Oh my God! There's a man in the sky! ”
"Is that the angel of the legend, so beautiful......"
Gugal was stunned and followed the soldiers' pointers.
