101 Siege and Defense.
Then!
The mid-level mages of the Empire, under the protection of the Shield Knights, also began to release third-order group buff magic! All kinds of buff magics covering a radius of thirty meters were released one after another in the thousand-meter-long front advance. The mana gathered, glowing with light inside the staff, illuminating the dark sky, and finally pouring into the front of the siege troops!
Spirit-boosting water-based magic "Crowd Spirit", earth-based magic "Group Shield" that reduces damage, wind-based magic "Swift Whirlwind" that increases speed, and even "Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy" fire-based magic that increases killing intent!
Naturally, the church's light magic "Group Blessing" and "Group Prayer" are also indispensable, increasing the recipient's damage resistance and improving the agility of the body.
Under the buff of many magics, the soldiers became desperate and their eyes were fanatical! and siege equipment such as siege engines were also blessed with "magic protection" and "deviation from the trajectory".
As for mid-level mages, they can release group magic three times in a row in a war. After unleashing the first round, they were tightly surrounded by a phalanx of knights with steel shields, covering to retreat to a safe distance and waiting for the next order to arrive.
"Kill!"
"Long live the Most High God! Long live King Arthur!"
Several Imperial soldiers who shouted were accidentally shot by a dense rain of arrows when they raised their arms and shouted, and they were carried upside down by the impact of the landing.
Under the city, mud is splashed with blood!
The painful wails of the casualties were completely drowned in the frenzied cries!
In less than a minute, the long siege echelon was about to rush under the city walls. The 20,000 archers behind the shield infantry had already rushed to 80 meters below the city, and under the protection of the soldiers, they began to draw their bows and throw them, using the absolute superiority in numbers to suppress the counterattack of the defenders.
On the city walls, the shouts of the archers and lieutenants came and went: "Scatter freely! Shoot those Imperial dogs!"
The archers, who received the order, bent their bows and arrows and fired deadly arrows at their nearest targets. But under the city walls, the Imperial archers, under the cover of the top shield infantry, also began to gradually approach the bottom of the city walls.
Under the rain of arrows, the imperial archers took advantage of the gap to bend their bows.
Yes!
The screams of arrows on both sides began to sound one after another, but they were swallowed up by even more deafening shouts!
Faced with the overwhelming advantage below, the Falken soldiers did not flinch in the slightest!
"Put it again!" the princess's voice was decisive: "Mage troops, prepare!"
Another dense rain of arrows shot downwards, but this time it was a free attack. More than a hundred beginner mages reinforced by the royal city and the kingdom of Deleko walked under the city walls under the protection of knights and swordsman squads.
After a murmur, all kinds of beginner or intermediate magic shot out from the mage's wand.
Soon, all kinds of lights lit up under the city walls!
Fireballs flew sideways, ice arrows shot indiscriminately, wind blades swept down the city, and sharp stabs protruding from time to time on the mud floor!
However, under the baptism of three rounds of arrow rain and magic, the blessed and well-trained Emperor [***] did not suffer much damage. 70,000 against 20,000!
Whoosh, whoosh.
After easily avoiding a flying feathered arrow, Ronald glanced at it and found that at most three or five thousand people had died, and that the walls were full of siege ladders. The Imperial soldiers had braved the rain of arrows and the bombardment of magic, and bravely climbed up the siege ladder.
Whoosh!
The Imperial siege arrow cart had also driven a hundred meters and began to shoot frantically at the defenders of the city wall.
"Ahhh
Boom!
Christine's short wooden staff sparked a bundle of magic arrows that knocked the soldiers on a siege cart into the air!
Kerry frowned, and instead released the Death Mist.
But before the soldiers who had been corrupted into zombie soldiers could attack, they were chopped to the ground by the screams of the tide of Imperial soldiers, trampling into a sloppy pulp.
After discovering that the mage had unleashed two mists of death, Ronald blocked a stray arrow for him and shouted at his friend. "Kerry, don't rush too far! Blue, what are you doing stupidly? Protect Kerry!"
The doctor smiled slyly and pulled out several fist-sized bottles from the space pouch.
After a few parabolas fell to the ground, a burst of red light came from under the city wall! Bang! The glass bottle exploded, carrying flying fragments and a thick liquid with a strong corrosive caste, burning the faces of the soldiers under the city to pus!
However, this is the battlefield!
Dozens of casualties are not even a hair at all for an elite army of 70,000 people!
Ronald glanced at the princess and saw that she was already clutching the dragon flute tightly in the palm of her hand.
However, the various spell traps set up under the city walls played a big role.
Quicksand Traps, Burst Traps, Flame Walls...... The trap effect that triggers from time to time makes the siegers a little scrambling. These traps, which had been quietly set under the walls by mages with a lot of magic before the enemy army had set up camp, and were only used in large-scale battles, had finally come in handy.
However, these traps only slightly delayed the Siegers' advance.
Ronald continues to pay attention to the changes below the battlefield.
The shouts of the infantry were already close at hand, and many long siege ladders began to be erected on the walls. But these who rushed to the front died the fastest.
He drew his enchanted sword and slashed down the siege ladder frame beneath him.
A burst of white light attracted Ronald's attention, and he saw that the magic book in General Bruce's hand next to him seemed to flash, followed by several successive arm-thick lightning bolts falling from the sky, and smashed straight on a siege vehicle that had rushed under the city gate.
Bang!
The city-rushing carts, covered in cowhide and full of arrows, were scorched black by the sudden lightning bolts, and began to burst into flames with a crackle. The soldiers, who were under the cover of cowhides, wailed and tried to flee for their lives.
Bang bang bang.
Rolling stones and logs poured down mercilessly, tumbling along the walls, mercilessly smashing the scurrying soldiers to the point of bursting brains and twitching limbs. Countless twisted corpses were piled up underneath, some with no faces, some with only half of their bodies left, and some smashed into puddles of scarlet mud!
"Kill!"
Attention is drawn for a moment.
By the time Ronald was awakened by the shouts of slaughter, hundreds of siege ladders had already been erected on the city walls! And the mage team below, under the cover of the shield cavalry, began to unleash first-order attack magic unscrupulously to cover the soldiers who were climbing.
Whoosh!
After discovering that the guards of the city wall had been completely suppressed, many knights in the back row also took off their crossbows and launched an attack together with the mage.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
Ronald discovers that a storming cart has passed through a rain of arrows and magic, struggling to storm the gates!
It's so fast!
He squinted at the unmoved Crusaders in the distance.
"Come on, hurry up, move more rocks up!"
"Rescue team, quick, transport the wounded back to the inner city!"
Hurried words rang out one after another, making Ronald's eardrums buzz. At the moment, he didn't care about so many taboos, and Ronald was ready to jump off the city wall alone.
The mage was the first to feel the change in Ronald beside him, but he only said briefly, "Don't worry!"
Ronald stabbed a besieger with a sword that was sticking out of his body and kicked his body away. He pursed his lips and began to sprint back and forth on the city walls. Under his swift sword, the imperial soldiers along the way let out terrible screams and fell from the battlements!
Not far from Ronald's side, lightning flashed in the spellbook, and the armor around General Bruce also flashed with sparks.
"Arc of light!"
With the completion of the spell, the third-order group electric magic arc array continued to surge out from under the feet of General Bruce! Magic knights! Warriors who are proficient in sword skills and magic can freely choose their combat methods according to the battlefield situation!
Zizi, zizizi.
Within the half-moon-shaped radius of mana, countless electric sparks spread along the city walls and towards the besieging soldiers below. The scorched green smoke and screams of fear were aroused in an instant, and nearly fifty soldiers were completely electrocuted by the magic.
Before he had time to sigh, a coquettish reprimand not far away attracted Ronald's attention. He glanced and saw that Victoria had a milky white halo on her body, and she was kicking the corpse of a leather-armored swordsman off the wall!
And Blair, who was standing beside him, already had a big fireball condensed in his hand.
Just as Ronald's thoughts were wandering, the large fireball the size of a clay pot had been projected by Blair, the fire wolf of the "Four Wolves of the Kingdom", to the city gate below.
Bang!
After the loud bang, the magic ball bursts!
Burst Flames! Fire group killing magic covering a radius of 30 meters!
Before even the wails could be heard, more than a dozen soldiers who were in the middle of the magic were instantly roasted into charcoal!
With a series of screams, the soldiers threw away their armor and wailed with flames all over their bodies. They scattered and ran towards the moat, and the sound of falling water sounded one after another, and a scorched mist rose from the moat.
At this moment, Laldo, known as the "wind wolf", also condensed a cyan ball. The ball burst in mid-air more than ten meters below the city, sending out countless deadly blades.
And Ronald saw that even the hard stone wall was cut with a deep mark.
In the next moment, Ronald's eyes were cold! He suddenly spun and slashed, cutting the two soldiers who jumped on the city wall through the earnest crimson! And in his hand, a hockey ball condensed.
Bang!
The puck exploded on the ground, and a clear blue arc, with an unstoppable chill, cut mercilessly in all directions! In just an instant, fifty or sixty people fell under the magic that Ronald provoked!
But.
The superiority of the local battlefield could not hide the overall victory of the imperial soldiers.
Bang, smack!
"Rush, my warriors!" Dragon took out the Mithril Cross, held it high in the air, and roared feverishly: "The drawbridge has been lowered, the gates have been breached, and the whole army is attacking!"
With the amplification magic of the commander, the Imperial infantry swarmed in, and the cavalry began to speed up their charge. The black and cold monstrous tide was surging towards the reef-like city wall in an unstoppable manner, rapidly invading all the vital points of the city!
Gotta got, gotta got.
The ground soaked with rain lines splashed with flying mud.
The chief priest in charge of the Crucifixion, Risis, and Turing Bishop Steve looked at each other, and then drew a cross on his chest and worshiped the heavens with one hand: "Followers of my gods, turn into a sharp blade that slays evil!"
Riches's left hand crossed glowed with a dazzling golden light!
The three-star treasure "Radiance Cross" raised the "Group Blessing" caste and buff range he provoked to the maximum! It completely exceeded the limit distance of thirty meters within the radius of the third-order spell, and approached the radius of fifty meters!
After blessing the "Blessing of the Masses", the Crusaders of the Church, who had not moved all along, finally began to charge! The chief priest Riches held high the battle flag of the Crusaders, his legs suddenly clamped, and his horse accelerated: "The Supreme God is above! Bless your followers! Kill all the stubborn!"
As he spoke, a white film of light erupted from his body, this was the second-order magic "Divine Light Shield"! It was the same as the Body Protector Shield, but it was more protective than it!
"Oh oh oh!"
The crusaders of the Order, who had been watching the battle in silence, drew their weapons and unleashed their divine shields! With a faint protective light, they shouted and charged towards Fort Orleans.
Rolling iron streams, like tides!
The Duke of Dragons looked at the battle on the battlefield, he steadied the snorting white horse, leaned down and caressed its smooth neck.
This is a purebred haldan horse from the western steppes of the Falcon Empire, with amazing endurance and gravity, and the ability to accelerate sharply over short distances. It is used on the most elite heavy knights of the empire, and those ordinary light knights are completely ineligible to buy.
When he raised his head, Duke Dragon's expression returned to calm: "Deputy Head Anthony, aren't you going to fight to your heart's content?"
Knight Captain Anthony, who was also riding on a black Haldan warhorse, shook his head indifferently. It seems that the hustle and bustle of the battlefield is scorching, tragic and bloody and has nothing to do with him at all.
"There's no enemy here worthy of my attack. ”
