Volume 1 The Crooked Technology Tree Chapter 83 Soldiers Coming to the City?
Huge 14-meter-tall turbine turbines are scattered all over Blackstone Island like strange trees, adding an eerie dynamic beauty to this slightly calm and mysterious island from a distance.
Surrounded by the sea on three sides, the peninsula borders the western continent with a narrow natural land bridge that is 78 meters wide and 500 meters long.
Because it hangs in the Endless Sea, there is no need to worry about attacks from the direction of the sea, and the huge natural thunder pillar in the sea can knock everything that dares to enter the range of the Endless Sea into lotus root powder.
It is because of such a unique advantage
The island faces the mainland, and around the edge of the island stands a tall wall with a total length of 200 meters, a height of 50 meters and a thickness of 30 meters.
This is the crystallization of the defense designed by the second owner, built by the third owner, and strengthened by the successor owner. Its base is made entirely of neatly cut black granite, and the outer layer is also poured with a small amount of Mithril to form a Fetish-Demon Double Resistance Shell with some self-healing ability. And it has permanently fixed high-level defense spells such as detection and warning, suppression, physical anti-injury, and long-range misdirection.
This is also one of the reasons why Blackstone Island can stand here without fear of invasion by external forces, and it is also the reason why Black Wind took the risk of choosing to enter the island through the underground passage.
On the back of the huge two-headed wyvern, the elderly wolf general Carlos looked at the city wall in front of him with a cold metallic luster, his brows were tightened, and behind the battlements, one by one he drove the cold steel bed crossbow, even the two-legged wyvern did not dare to approach easily, of course, if he gave up the attack and dodged in the air with all his might, he could not help him with the slow rate of fire of the bed crossbow.
It seems that the rumors are indeed true, this place is indeed a hard stubble, unless more than five Beamon beasts are sacrificed to absorb firepower and force the city wall in the shortest possible time, the ground troops will not be able to enter the island at all.
Air units can venture into the island, but unless they are a whole team of dragoons, they can only do a lot of damage, and if the walls are not resolved, the anti-aircraft fire on them and the anti-aircraft towers placed on the island are not vegetarian.
At the moment, there are only two options: one is to continue to try to storm through the underground passage, but with the previous failed raid, the other party must have begun to be vigilant.
Another option is to blockade the island, but the cost will be higher, which will completely compete with the consumption of food and grass on both sides.
However, the good thing is that it will definitely work, according to intelligence, there is not much land suitable for cultivation on Blackstone Island, and now the new owner has issued a policy that has attracted a large number of displaced people and adventurers to the island.
If you can't get external supplies, the island will naturally be self-defeating because of the lack of food, but choosing to besiege the island is also a disguised admission that there is no way to take the other party, which is a helpless move.
Although these were consistent with the analysis made by the staff team overnight based on the information they had gathered, he still chose to take a look for himself.
It's a natural fortress, and it's too defensive, Carlos sighed again.
If it weren't for the fact that his nephew was still locked up on the island, he really wouldn't want to attack this place.
However, no matter how unbearable his nephew is, he is always his nephew, and detaining him is giving him eye medicine and slapping him in the face.
How can the wolf general who has been fighting all his life wipe off his face?
However, it is not completely impossible, if you attack such a fortress by force, the loss generally occurs on the way to the charge, but the shadow wolf can break through to the bottom of the city wall or even enter the interior of the island with the lowest loss to a certain extent, because entering the shadow state can be immune to physical attacks.
Although it has the disadvantage of receiving attacks when it appears, it can also render the bed crossbow ineffective, which is also a tactic used by the Horde against the Offshore Wizard Ship.
Lawrence turned his head to look at the Harpy behind him, and was slightly convinced that the air units provided the shadow wolf with a shadow passage that could quickly approach the target, making it easier for the shadow wolf to launch a surprise attack.
However, the Harpy Banshee's attack is too limited, she can only dive and attack with claws, and her defense is weak, if it weren't for the fact that most of the air force and cavalry were sent to the front line during the war, he would not choose to hire these Banshees.
That's right, it's hired, harpys are not strictly speaking orcs, they are a kind of magical beast with a certain intelligence like ogres, and they have long been entrenched in steep mountain forests, building nests on cliffs and trees, and forming settlements as family units.
The one he hired was only the Harpy Banshee of the Black Feather Clan, the largest of the Screaming Canyons in the Northwest Province under his control.
After circling in the air for a week, it landed steadily on the mound where the black wind and the rat had last connected, and rolled over and fell neatly from the body of the two-headed wyvern.
"General." Black Wind saluted respectfully.
"Hmm." Carlos glanced at the black wind majestically, then pointed to the hole in the weeds not far away and frowned and asked, "This is the underground passage you entered last time?" ”
"Yes, General, my subordinates were planning to enter the island from here... It's a pity that he only brought 20 horsemen and retreated. ”
Carlos pondered for a moment and continued, "Well, if you were given 2,000 shadow guards, would you be sure to storm into the island?" ”
Black Wind was overjoyed, according to the experience of the last time, if he was really given 2000 horses, he would definitely be able to easily kill those trolls, although the underground space is narrow, it is difficult to say if it is replaced by other troops, but it is not a problem for them to shadow guards, you must know that the shadow wolf shadow state can be overlapped, and it is not limited by the narrow terrain at all.
So this is the best chance for the general to give him a meritorious service! So Black Wind immediately knelt down on one knee and replied:
"The subordinates will live up to the promise and complete the task!"
"Well, in a while, I will lead 1,000 cavalry and 500 air forces to feint on Blackstone Island from the ground, and you will break through from the underground, this victory or defeat depends on you, as long as you can successfully enter the island from the underground, then the island can be broken by attacking inside and outside." Carlos said with a stroke of his beard.
"Subordinates take orders!"
……
On the towering city wall of Black Rock Island, Lu Ye stood at the top of the wall and looked at the eagle people gathered like a swarm of bees three kilometers away.
Chaken and Vivien stood quietly behind him, the walls of the city were quiet and solemn, and the only two hundred demons on the island were scattered across the walls, either wielding huge bed crossbows or armed with electromagnetic rifles.
Fortunately, the warning of an enemy attack sounded throughout the island half an hour ago, and after a century, the warning bell of Blackstone Castle rang again, and all the islanders were already hiding in their cellars.
The disparity in strength is still too great, Lu Ye sighed in his heart, six taels of the only ten light armored infantry vehicles were sent by him to the rescue task team, and the remaining four are now all hidden in the four turrets of the city wall, but who cares about your number in modern warfare.
The corners of Lu Ye's mouth were upturned, he was not afraid at all, and even a little excited, this was his real direct contact with the army of this world, and he had long wanted to find an opportunity to test how many catties and taels of the forces he had cultivated.
After all, he still has a powerful enemy in the Eastern Continent, which is conservatively estimated to have an entire continent's enemy, after all, he has been brainwashed by the Sata Sect for many years.
Come on, Lu Ye thought.
The other party finally moved, and saw the harpy in the air like a dark cloud pressed by black, and suddenly came in the direction of Black Rock Island.
And in the projection of them underground, a large number of wolf cavalry rushed like black mist, and they did not even raise a trace of smoke and dust, and the scene was quite evil.
"Oh, this is the kind of Shadow Wolf Cavalry that wanted to go up to the island through the tunnel last time, right? It's funny. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Vivien replied from the sidelines.
"Yunica should like them because even I'm interested in what they're capable of."
"My lord, do you need to go down and find some experimental materials for you?" Chaken asked respectfully as he opened his mouth full of sharp teeth.
"There is no hurry, according to the plan, they should not know anything about the range of our weapons, in fact, electromagnetic guns and electromagnetic rifles can accurately hit targets within three kilometers, and the range of bed crossbows is only 1000 meters. The reason why it is still on the wall is to mislead them, and when they are almost at the range of the bed crossbow, there is a high probability that they will stop and negotiate and see what they say first. ”
"My lord is wise, these low-level creatures think they are safe, don't they know that they have been covered by our firepower, this is even art."
"Well, don't be careless."
"Yes, the Demon of Chaos will defend your majesty to the death, please rest assured that my lord."
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the opponent was stuck at the edge of the maximum range of the bed crossbow and stopped, and the old man riding on the two-headed dragon flew forward alone and stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the city wall, as if he was not worried about being attacked at all.
And looked at Lu Ye majestically from a high altitude, and after a while, the old man's angry voice came from mid-air like thunder:
"You're the owner of Blackstone Island?"
Lu Ye squinted his eyes and looked up at this burly and powerful old man, sighed in his heart, what a bold artist, and then replied with a slight smile and politeness: "It's really down, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
"Old man Carlos."
"Oh? It turned out that the famous wolf general came to visit, and he admired it for a long time, but he came to pay the ransom? Lu Ye asked lightly with a smile.
Carlos was slightly stunned, not angry, but laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, I have long heard that the new island owner is not an ordinary person, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary, you are the first one who dares to ask the old man for ransom in person." ”
"The general has won the award, and the rules of Blackstone Island are like this."
A strong coercion accompanied by a murderous aura like a blade came out of the old man's body and pressed fiercely towards the people on the city wall, especially Lu Ye who received more 'care' than others.
[A large number of mental power packet shocks were detected, and in the data evaluation, the server firewall threshold value was not reached, and it has been successfully intercepted and blocked]
Lu Ye was slightly stunned, huh? If you don't agree with me, you'll play spam bombing, right? You old man with big eyebrows is also playing data attacks in front of my eyes? "1023, give me a counter-bomb."
[Okay administrator, the data counterattack program has been started]
I saw the two-headed flying dragon in the air let out a wail, and he was about to lose consciousness and fall from the sky! The old man's expression changed, and a crimson fighting aura instantly rose from his body, enveloping himself and the two-headed flying dragon under him, so that he could stabilize the flying dragon.
Carlos's heart was like a stormy wave, this was not light, he wanted to give this yellow-mouthed boy a dismount, with the power of his legendary dragon knight and the murderous aura accumulated over the years, although he couldn't cause much damage to the other party, it was still okay to make the other party lose his temper.
But things didn't go the way he thought, not only was the other party fine, but everyone on the city wall was fine! And the other party also sent out a coercive counterattack that was not weaker than him!
How old is he?! How can it be!
