For this fortress barrier of the Wingman civilization, Xia Qi had already learned about it from Ares.

This barrier also has to consume faith power.

With enough faith power, it can withstand almost any attack.

But on the other hand, the stronger the attack, the more faith power the barrier consumes in order to block that attack.

And there are two main sources of faith that support the barrier.

The first source is the statue of the goddess within the scope of the effect.

On weekdays, when the people of the Winged People civilization pray, the goddess idol will automatically collect faith power and use it when necessary.

As for the second source, there are the prayers and fanatics in the cathedral, who are able to provide great power of faith.

From this point of view, the defensive power of this fortress shield is only afraid that it has reached the point of madness.

But thinking about it from another angle, Xia Qi soon had another idea.

That is, if you let the elephant giant artillery unit attack that shield frantically, then ???????????????? Isn't it the same as constantly consuming the faith power that has been saved in the area?

If you can take this opportunity to consume the faith power of the opposite side hard enough, then in the next battle, will the opposing winged army have a lack of faith power?

In the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the giant artillery unit, the winged people relied on the protection of the protective shield to defend the border, and had no intention of coming out to meet the attack.

In this regard, Xia Qi, who also had his own thoughts in his heart, was not polite to them, and let the elephant giant artillery unit fire frantically every day, attacking the fortress shield with cannonballs, and consuming the faith power reserves on the opposite side.

Inside the fortress, Evan tapped on the table in front of him and said: "The group of elephant people on the opposite side who are suspected of being equipped with human cannon weapons are constantly attacking every day, in order to resist the attack, the faith power reserves on the border are consumed faster than I expected, and the other party is clearly deliberately consuming during this time!" ”

No matter how fast they recruit and train, it will take a year and a half.

Under this premise, the elephant giant artillery unit on the opposite side fired endlessly every day, and the shells were almost like they couldn't be fired, and the shields of their border fortresses and the reserves of faith power couldn't last that long.

Although there are 30 top-notch cathedrals on the border, plus 300,000 prayers and 50,000 fanatics, they pray non-stop every day to generate faith.

But the output efficiency cannot completely exceed the consumption efficiency!

Stretching out such a large shield, the consumption of faith power is already large, and the endless shelling is still increasing the burden on them.

For so many days, they have been able to hold on, to put it bluntly, thanks to the faith power reserves they have accumulated over the years.

To put it simply, they are equivalent to owning a huge container for the power of faith, that is, the statue of the goddess.

This statue of the goddess stores all the faith power that their border people have accumulated over the years, and the faith power needed to maintain the fortress shield is drawn directly from the statue of the goddess.

The power of faith produced by the daily prayers of the prators and fanatics is injected into the statue of the goddess to form a cycle.

According to Evan, this reserve of faith power must not only maintain their fortress shield, but also ensure that in case the two armies fight, this faith power must also be enough for their legions.

Because, once it is not enough, then the next battle will not be easy to fight.

At the same time, in order to avoid falling into such an unfavorable situation, they will definitely need to change their plans as well.

It was impossible to allow Xia Qi to continue to use endless shelling to consume their faith power reserves, and this faith power reserves had to be maintained on a safe line.

In the next few days, the actions of the winged people made Xia Qi clearly realize that his consumption should have played a role, and the other party was a little unable to sit still.

The Celestial Wing Legion attacked them directly from the air, leaving the Elephant Man's Giant Artillery Corps in a safe environment to return.

But at the same time, Xia Qi could also feel that the opponent's offensive strength was not strong, that is, he was simply containing them, and he had no intention of fighting with him head-on.

In this regard, Xia Qi naturally saw the move.

As far as the recovery ability of the orc legion is concerned, fighting a small-scale war of attrition is no different from a perpetual motion machine.

After waiting until the army on the frontal battlefield attracted enough attention from the opposite side, Xia Qi's other army hiding in the shadows also took advantage of ???????????????? The night quietly launched the action.

About 300 kilometers northwest from the border, according to Ares, this is the weakest fortress on the border of the Winged People.

Topography plays a big part in this.

The fortress was built on a rugged mountainous terrain through which it was impossible for large armies and some land vehicles to pass through.

Therefore, the garrison does not need too many troops.

Of course, the main reason is that the ability to build the civilization of the winged people is limited, and in this kind of terrain, it is difficult for them to build any large-scale fortresses, a small fortress, and the internal living space is so small, no matter how many troops can't accommodate it.

On weekdays, there are almost 500 troops stationed inside this small mountain fortress.

In times of war, there should be an appropriate increase in troops, perhaps 800 to 1,000 men, and no more than 1,200 people will die.

If you go any further, you can't squeeze it anymore, and it will only become a burden in the end.

Outside the fortress, a force quietly approached at two o'clock in the morning.

The winged people are civilized, and there is no electrical equipment, they still use fire lighting, and those with better conditions will use holy light stones.

It is some stones blessed by the power of faith, and at night, they will emit a pure white light, and the lighting effect is much better than that of torches and candles, or oil lamps.

The backward lighting equipment makes this mountain fortress at night seem a little low.

A few agile black shadows quickly approached, the winged civilization with limited construction capacity, to build a fortress on this kind of mountainous land, the fortress wall is often impossible to build too high, according to the terrain environment, the shortest place is about ten meters.

Holding his breath and listening to the sound of the patrol's steps falling from the fortress, a soldier carefully took out a cylindrical object with a diameter of three centimeters and a length of about five centimeters from his waist bag behind him, and then gently pressed a button located on the side of the cylinder, and then quickly pulled it, and the five-centimeter cylindrical object suddenly stretched out.

】

At this point, at a glance, the length of the cylinder after it was stretched out was at least thirty centimeters, and it almost turned into a decent short stick.

However, this short stick is clearly not intended for attacking.

The figure pulled out one of the stoppers that had been plugged into one of the sticks, and then lifted it high above its head, and after lifting it to a limiting height, pressed one of the ends directly against the high wall of the fortress.

The inside of the short stick is actually hollow, and it is filled with a large amount of special mucus, which will quickly solidify in a short time after coming into contact with air or other substances.

This special slime sticks the stick firmly to the walls of the fortress.

And in the process, there is hardly any sound.

Holding it down, after about three seconds, the figure stopped, and then tried to wrestle the stick with all its might, making sure it was firmly glued to death.

Then, I saw him holding the short stick with both hands, making a posture like carrying a horizontal bar, and shaking his body, his feet were already silent, firmly stepping on the short stick.

Next, repeat the previous operation, a total of three short sticks, so that he is completely close to the goal.

At this time, the figure maintained a crouching posture and crouched on the short stick he had fixed lastly, hiding in the shadow of the outer barrier.

This position, he ???????????????? As long as he stood up a little, the winged soldier standing above might have noticed his presence.

There was no rush to make a move, he was waiting.

On the top of the fortress barrier, in addition to the wingman soldiers standing guard, there are also several wingman squads responsible for night patrols will pass by.

As the footsteps approached, he was professionally trained and leaned against the outer wall, and just by listening to the sound, he could tell where the patrol team had gone.

When the winged soldier walking at the back of the patrol team also walked behind the soldier standing guard, and both sides were completely out of the other's line of sight, he moved!

The winged soldier who was standing guard didn't even have time to react, and a dagger with a completely blackened blade slashed his throat, and after quickly taking his life, jumped onto the fortress.

He was as light as a swallow, and his footsteps didn't even make a sound when he landed, and he held the corpse with both hands at the same time, and gently placed it on the ground.

This whole set of actions took only one second.

At the same time, in the darkness in the distance, under the cover of the night wind, four sharp arrows quickly flew over, and the four members of the patrol team were instantly sniped with precision.

The wingman soldiers standing guard were twenty meters apart from each other, and the soldiers of the patrol team would pass by here every thirty seconds, and the position he was in now was a visual blind spot around the corner, and the other wingman soldiers could not see what was happening here until they walked around the corner.

But the corpses of these soldiers, once they fall to the ground and make a noise, they can't be hidden.

Seeing that the four corpses that had been killed by rapid shooting were about to fall to the ground, at the last moment, the soldier who had already jumped on top of the fortress hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow step, directly used his whole body, and held all four corpses at a critical moment, and then gently put them down.

And from the time he killed a soldier standing guard and jumped onto the fortress, only three seconds had passed!

Under the flickering firelight, a vigorous figure was reflected.

The night vision goggles and special black mask on his face made it impossible to see his face at all, but the pointed ears peeking out of the hat and the arrows that flew over to kill the four winged soldiers before proved their identity.

This is the elven army!
