Chapter 824: A Strong Siege
Woooooo
As the horn of the attack sounded, the three thousand Sea Clan soldiers at the forefront began to slowly move towards the Holy Leaf City.
Of course, Gervais didn't let them take the lead to let these Sea Clan natives be cannon fodder.
At this time, they were also dressed in black heavy armor like the direct guards, and the investment in the equipment that Gervais gave them was no different from that of the direct guards.
Five months ago, at the request of the Sea King, Gervais helped Lolita's 1,000 Sea Clan soldiers forge the Golden Crystal Armor, and later fortunately equipped 3,000 natives.
The reason why the Sea Tribe's natives took the lead today is because they can easily cross the moat and then use the sea vines as a tool to climb the city walls.
Originally, the sea rattan would not be shared with other tribes.
However, Gervais had captured some from the Sea natives, and then from Lolita's treasure chest-like storage space.
Therefore, he did not plan to use siege ladders and other equipment when he came this time, but directly used this tree vine as a ladder for siege.
As the three thousand sea clans approached the city wall step by step, the two thousand direct guards in the rear also followed, and finally there were two hundred and fifty magician members such as Long Yi.
"Bed crossbow quasi...... The longbowmen prepare, and the enemy immediately starts shooting when he enters a hundred meters! ”
Gallah stood on the ruined city wall, watching more than 5,000 people outside the city slowly press down, and gritted his teeth.
Because the giant crossbow that he relied on most has been almost destroyed.
Fortunately, there are more than 500 people on the city wall, who are also longbowmen, and can attack and kill enemies at close range.
Wait for a wave of trash to be killed, and then release the enemy on the wall, and then the three thousand golden knights will be able to eat these invaders without mercy.
This is the defensive strategy that Gallacher had prepared today.
It's just that...... Gallaher's fantasy is beautiful, but reality is often skinny.
For such an offensive and defensive battle, Gervais has been practicing for three days, and naturally considers the basic offensive and defensive factors.
As they got closer and closer to the city wall, when they were finally a hundred meters away from the city wall, the sea clan in front of them suddenly stopped, and the magicians like Hou Long Yi quickly ran up from behind.
"Everyone, the enemy on the target wall! Fireball! Get ready! Attack! ”
As the dragon gave a loud order, more than ten seconds later, a scorching fireball immediately shone outside the city.
Whoosh!
Hundreds of fireballs blasted from the walls like a meteor shower that didn't want to magic.
"Hmm, it's really a bit of a rocket artillery formation!"
Standing on a high slope in the distance, Gervais saw the scene under the city wall, and couldn't help but think of the scene of the launch of the 'Katyusha' in his previous life.
Rockets with tail flames whizzed out, and the sound was naturally terrifying.
Now it's a fireball, but the effect is pretty much the same.
"This ...... So many intruder magicians! ”
"Everyone, be careful, get out of the way!"
Boom Boom!
When Gallah shouted a shout, the fireball had already hit the city wall, and in an instant the entire wall was occupied by the burst of fire and the rumbling roar.
Fortunately, the soldiers on the city wall are all golden knights, and they are not stupid, and because of the distance, they have time to dodge the moment the fireball attack comes.
In the end, only a few of the Servants of God guards were hit by the fireball, and most of them were hiding behind the battlements intact.
But although they dodged the attack of the fireball, the siege team below did not stop, taking advantage of this gap, the Sea Clan soldiers who had stopped running directly rushed up, and then plopped and quickly jumped into the moat.
Once in the moat, the longbowmen on the walls were helpless against them.
In just over ten seconds, the Sea Clan soldiers emerged from the other side of the thirty-meter-wide moat.
"Everyone, throw out the sea vines and get ready to fight!"
Arriving on the other side of the moat, the five captains of the Sea Clan immediately began to give orders to their subordinates.
"Drink!"
With the order, the Sea Clan soldiers holding the sea vine seeds in their hands struggled to throw the seeds under the city wall, and then waited with their weapons.
Crash!
Crash!
As the sea vine seed landed, in an instant, the seed shone with a burst of blue glow.
With the blue glow, the seeds immediately began to take root and sprout, and then grew larger and larger, clinging towards the walls at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This ...... You traitors! ”
The magician's fireball technique was a threat to the Golden Knights, but it was of little use to Gallaher, so when he looked up at the Sea Clan natives in the moat, he immediately flew into a rage.
These guys are obviously also a race in the Godfall Lands, but now they have taken refuge in the invaders, and they have to help the invaders attack them.
Crash!
Crash!
However, the seeds have been thrown, and no matter how angry Gallaher is, it is useless.
As dozens of seconds passed, the sea vine seeds, which were originally only the size of broad beans, had grown to more than thirty meters high, and they directly bubbled up to the city wall.
"Quick! Give the order to go down and pour hot oil on it! Give me these sea vines. ”
Because it has been preparing for several months, the materials for defense in Holy Leaf City are very sufficient.
Now watching the vines spread across the city walls, Gallaher immediately began to give orders.
As an experienced leader, he naturally knew that this sea vine could not be solved by chopping, and the only way was to burn it with fierce fire.
"Yes! Lord Commander! ”
When the herald heard this, he immediately responded.
"Quick! The Commander has an order to burn these sea vines with hot oil! ”
"The Commander has an order to burn these sea vines with hot oil!"
As the order spread throughout the city wall, the Divine Servants of the city guards soon began to take out cans of hot oil and sprinkle them on the sea vines.
Rumble!
As the hot oil was sprinkled and the torches were lit, the vines soon began to burn.
"Huh? There is such a thing as fire oil! ”
Gervais, who was standing on the high slope, was also a little surprised to see the fire rising from the city wall.
After all, he hadn't seen this thing in the Sacred Continent before.
Unbeknownst to Gervais, the oil used by Gallaher was not the same as he had in mind.
The hot oil used in the gallaher is a substance secreted by plants that, after a simple treatment, becomes a gasoline-like combustible agent.
"Herald Magic Squad, put out the fire!"
The branches of the sea vine were very thick and full of water, and although they were burning for a while, they were not completely destroyed.
Gervais immediately commanded the herald.
"Woo!"
The herald received the order and immediately sounded the horn and signaled.
"Magician, extinguish the fire!"
Long Yi immediately received a message from Gervais, and immediately began to order the water mages in the team to activate.
Since Gervais planned to use this sea vine as a siege tool, he had expected in advance that the enemy would use fire to solve the problem by burning the sea vine, so he had already given the horn order of Long Yi and others to extinguish the fire.
"Cryomy!"
"Cryomy!"
As soon as the dragon gave the order, there were more than thirty water magicians in their team and immediately began to chant and cast spells.
When the chanting and casting ended, the three words of the Freezing Technique exited, and a strange scene immediately occurred on the city wall.
Wow!
Wow!
I saw that a thick layer of frost immediately formed on the more than thirty sea vines that were still covered by hot oil and were burning.
If this frost is used to deal with the title knight, even if it is a silver knight, it will reduce the speed at most a little, but at this time, it is only used to extinguish the fire, but it is ice to the fire, so it is not powerful.
"Keep casting, don't stop!"
There were at least eighty or ninety vines on the city wall, so Long Yi immediately opened his mouth to urge the water mage to continue casting spells.
And when Long Yi was directing the rapid extinguishing of the fire, Gallaher on the city wall was pale, and there was a little confusion in his eyes.
"The Lord God is above! What's going on? Why are there so many mages of the invaders, but they can also unleash different kinds of magic! ”
After fighting the invaders for half a year, I also have an understanding of the natives of these armies of the Holy Alliance.
They knew that among the invaders there was a class of magicians with terrifying abilities.
Fortunately, from the previous understanding, there are very few magicians in the invaders, and a large army with a maximum of more than ten magicians is considered a lot.
But now he Gallaher has not only encountered hundreds of magicians, but many of these magicians can also release a variety of magic, which directly destroyed Gallaher's three views, and he also knows why St. Ann's City was lost.
This team of invaders is bizarre!
Dozens of seconds passed quickly, and the dozens of sea vines that were originally burning had been completely extinguished at this time.
"Come on, then! You shameless intruders! Then I can only use blood to make you afraid! ”
Gallaher was angry, but he didn't think he was going to lose.
He himself is a strong man with the strength of a Red Banner Knight, and with 3,000 elites in his hands, he is ready to give the enemy the most hated attack to wash away his previous grievances.
Whining!
As if in response to Gallaher, the horn of the charge sounded again outside the city.
The five Sea Clan captains hiding in the river below glanced at each other when they heard the sound of the horn, and then took out a bottle of potion in their arms.
Grunt!
Grunt!
Several people took the potion and put it to their mouths and drank it directly.
"Rush! 1,000 Bounty Coins for the First Climber! ”
The next moment, the five of them threw the empty potion bottles, and the shouters climbed up to the shore and rushed towards the city walls.
"Kill!"
With the five people taking the lead, the other Sea Clan soldiers also followed, shouting and coming to the city wall and starting to climb up the sea vine!
The Sea Clan began to climb, and the guards also put the planks they had prepared long ago into the moat, and then sat on the planks in groups.
Under the plank, several Sea Clan soldiers who had been arranged a long time ago quickly pushed the plank towards the opposite bank.
All of a sudden, the most intense phase of the siege arrived.
"Kill!"
The five Sea Clan captains were the first to rush to the city wall, and when they saw the dense golden knights on the city wall, they were not afraid at all, and jumped into the crowd with a loud shout.
Dangdang!
"Ahh
After a few people jumped into the crowd, those divine servants quickly surrounded and killed, and several sea clan captains could only quickly round their long swords to resist.
"Huh!"
However, in the next moment, they were surprised to find that this was just a sword that they usually wielded, but it directly repelled more than a dozen enemies around them.
There was even an unlucky ghost who couldn't retreat, and the golden crystal armor on his body was directly cut open with a big gap!
After discovering this, several captains couldn't help but try to swing their swords again.
In an instant, they finally noticed the same.
His current strength has skyrocketed dozens of times!!
"This ...... It's Your Majesty's Elixir......"
Previously, because I was in the charge, I only had blood in my mind, and I didn't have time to estimate anything else.
Now that they were truly aware of this power, they realized how miraculous the potion that Gervais had made them take was.
It's horrible!
"Get out of the way, let me clean up these traitors to the Godfall!"
At this time, Gallaher had already rushed over quickly and squeezed directly in front of several Sea Clan captains.
"Red Flag Initial Strength!"
When several Sea Clan captains saw Gallaher, their faces immediately looked solemn.
Even if their strength skyrocketed, they were not sure if they could withstand each other.
"You traitors, give me death!"
Gallaher didn't care about the concerns of several people, and immediately swung the long sword in his hand and slashed at the nearest Sea Clan captain.
"Kill!"
The captain of the Sea Clan was helpless, and he also used all his strength to cut it down.
While!
But the next moment, the result of the two slashing was unbelievable.
I saw that the two of them were separated with one blow, and although the captain of the Sea Clan was shocked back by Gallaher's huge force by four or five steps, there was no damage other than that.
You must know that the opposite side is a red flag knight, and if you want to kill him in the past, it is only three or five swords.
"Haha! Long live His Majesty the King! I'll be able to fight the Red Flag Knight today! ”
"Don't look at you, hurry up and kill the leader of this Divine Servant Guard with me, and sacrifice his head to His Majesty the Great King!"
After the Sea Clan captain reacted, his face immediately welled up with endless excitement, and he beckoned to the rest of his companions.
"Good! To His Majesty the Great King! Kill! ”
Several others also responded, and then the group quickly surrounded Gallaher.
But Gallaher looked like a ghost at this time, he had clearly observed a few people under the city wall before, and they were clearly white flag knights, why did the strength of a few people now be at the peak of the black flag.
And at this time, he was on the city wall, and there were all his subordinates nearby, so he couldn't use a more lethal secret technique at all.
"Kill!"
Gallaher's face was cloudy and uncertain, and when he saw the opponent's five people attacking together, he could only roar and swing his sword to fight!
……
"Well, almost! Crocodile, it's our turn! ”
With the help of his telescope, Gervais had a full view of the city walls.
Feeling that the time had come, he immediately gave an order to the giant crocodile under him!
"Roar!"
When the giant crocodile heard Gervais's words, he roared violently, and then his mountain-like body moved and began to rush towards the Holy Leaf City.
Bang! Bang!
Although the giant crocodile is huge, its speed is undoubted, just like those small lizards in its previous life, and its body can reach the point of three soles off the ground when it flies.
The distance of more than a mile, and in just a few tens of seconds, the giant crocodile brother reached the edge of the moat.
