Chapter 397: Siege

"Who are you? Why violate us? Vapefuri spoke. With the blessing of the powerful fighting qi of the level 7 sword master, his voice didn't sound loud, but everyone in the envoy team more than fifty meters away could hear it clearly. Ironically, though, Vapefuri's voice seemed innocent, as if a good civilian had met a robber.

"We are the emissaries of the Otto Empire, and today we are going to eliminate the harm for the people and eliminate you bandits." It was Cairo who spoke on the side of the emissaries, and his voice was similar to that of Vappefuri, but Ryan listened to it and felt that Cairo seemed to be a little worse than Vappefuri.

"Haha! You hypocrites, obviously trying to rob us of our wealth, still have to think of such a ridiculous reason. Vapefri laughed and cursed, and some of the robbers beside him laughed in unison. Wapefuri finds a righteous excuse for his side and classifies the other side as the evil side. This is normal, and generally in a war, no matter which side it is, it will find a reasonable reason for itself.

Hearing that Wapefuri regarded the messengers as robbers, Cairo couldn't help but become angry and scolded: "You bandits, you have lost your conscience and done all kinds of evil. Vapefri, you are the most wanted criminal in our Otto Empire. As long as you open the door and surrender obediently, we can not kill you, or we will destroy you all. ”

"Humph! Do you think you can break through my walls? "Vapefuri was full of confidence, and seemed to have some strength, and was not afraid of the emissaries who seemed to have the obvious advantage.

"Ridiculous! A small city wall. Wants to stop us too. What hubris! Cairo's voice turned cold, he has always been arrogant and ruthless to others, where is the turn of others to be arrogant to him?

"Then try it, even if you have the power to destroy us, you will have to pay a heavy price. Even if your level 7 swordsman and level 7 magician can't save their lives. Wapefuri exclaimed angrily, and his words seemed to be unyielding, but in fact he was already showing timidity.

"Good! Good! Let me show you the power of our magicians in the Otto Empire. With that, Cairo stopped talking.

"Launch!" The swordsman leader gave an order. The first wave of magic was launched en masse, and unlike the previous group of magic that was launched to attack the enemy, this time, all the magicians pursued a powerful power. The target is the city walls.

"Bang ......"

All kinds of magic hit the city wall, and suddenly an incomparably strong explosion exploded, blasting the thick city wall into a gap. The walls are a little thicker, and even high-level magic can't blast them open at once, but under the constant bombardment of powerful magic, the city walls definitely can't support many rounds of magic bombardment.

The magic emitted by the fire mage is the most powerful, and the huge fireball can not only bombard the city wall, but also hurt the bandits on the city wall with the flames that explode. Earth mages are most advantageous for siege warfare. Huge stone balls and ground splitting magic have wreaked havoc on the walls. Wind mages and water mages are relatively less powerful, but the giant wind blades and water dragon magic are extremely lethal to the bandits on the city walls.

The first wave of magic attacks by the messenger team, in addition to causing great damage to the city walls, also killed more than a dozen bandits.

In siege warfare in general warfare, the attacking side must have siege equipment such as ladders, trebuchets, and crashing wood, and then send many death squads to withstand countless bows and arrows, rolling stones and other attacks on the defending side, and climb the city wall to fight hand-to-hand with the defending soldiers. Siege warfare can be considered one of the most brutal wars. Both the attacker and the defender have to pay countless lives.

However, in the siege battle that is currently underway, the emissary team with many mages does not need to climb the city wall to fight hard. Just bombard yourself from a safe distance and cast your magic. When the bandits who bombarded the opponent's walls to the ground and the opponent's defense died. Then send a swordsman to deal with the remaining bandits and sweep the battlefield. Siege warfare is carried out in such an easy way that only a large number of mages can do it.

Ryan, who was standing next to the magician and had nothing to do, couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This kind of fighting is really like a war in the previous life, when a big country attacks a small country, it first bombs it from the air, and then bombs it until the small country loses all its defensive capabilities, and then comes to attack on the ground." ”

At the same time as the messengers were casting their magic, Vapefuri also ordered archery. However, of the bows and arrows fired by the three or four hundred robbers on the city wall, only more than fifty bows and arrows could reach the position of the messenger team, and all the other bows and arrows fell halfway.

And the more than fifty bows and arrows that can shoot to the position, many of them are blocked by the shield because the strength is too small, and they fall to the ground, and only a dozen bows and arrows can break the shield, but they still can't shoot through the shield, just hang on the shield. It can be seen that these more than ten bows and arrows are all shot by high-level swordsmen, and only bows and arrows with high-level swordsman's fighting spirit can shoot so far and still have a certain power.

The only thing that could inflict damage on the swordsmen of the Messenger Team was the bow and arrow shot by Vapefuri, and the bow and arrow with the fighting spirit of a level 7 swordsman were so powerful that they not only easily shot through the shield, but also shot a swordsman in the chest behind the shield, killing the swordsman on the spot.

"The fire mages are attacking Vapefuri, and the other mages are concentrating on the walls." The swordsman leader realizes that Vapefuri is too strong and that if he continues to shoot arrows, he may kill many people, so he must use magic to restrain him so that he can't shoot arrows with his hands.

In the blink of an eye, the second wave of magic attacks, the fire magic, aimed at Vapefuri and launched it, but Vapefuri's level 7 swordsman's speed was too fast, and he kept moving on the city wall, easily dodging the attack. Fifty meters away, the magic could not attack Wapefuli at all, but fortunately, these fire magic could still hit the city wall, causing some damage to the city wall, so it would not be useless.

The bow and arrows of Wapefuri are greatly affected and cannot be fired continuously, and can only shoot one or two arrows in the air. His bow and arrows were still so powerful, but now the swordsman hiding behind the shield was on guard, trying his best to dodge the bow and arrow that shot through the shield, at most he would only be injured, and he would not die at once.

Just as Wapefuri was shooting arrows, Cairo and Botu, who were also level 7 swordsmen, were not idle, and picked up their bows and arrows one after another and shot back. They knew that their bows and arrows would not have an effect on Vapefuri, so they all shot their bows at the other bandits, especially those who seemed to be stronger. In a short period of time, more than a dozen robbers on the city wall have been shot and killed by two people.

"Hurry up and aim and fire the catapult!" Wapefuri shouted loudly, the situation was getting more and more unfavorable for the bandits, and if they continued, the robbers would only be wiped out, and they had to urge the trebuchets within the city walls to fire quickly.

"Whew, Whew......"

Two stones, which looked to weigh two hundred pounds, flew over the city wall and flew towards the formation of the messengers. Unthinkable that there were catapults in such a backward place as the bandit camp, it seems that Wapefuri had long been prepared to be attacked and defended by others.

"Wind mages intercept the slings." Just as the stone had just flown over the city wall, the swordsman leader immediately gave the order. Immediately, several wind blades flew up, intercepting the stones in the air, cutting them into several pieces and falling to the ground.

Suddenly, Dai Mo, a level 7 magician who had been preparing magic, finally cast his magic, and a huge fireball with a diameter of five meters smashed into the city wall. Suddenly, there was an unprecedented explosion on the city wall, and the four or five meters high city wall was blown out of a gap of more than ten meters in an instant. The intense flames that exploded burned more than twenty robbers to death at least instantly.

Everyone present was stunned, many people had never seen the magic used by a level 7 magician with all his might, and they couldn't imagine that the fireball, an ordinary magic, could be displayed by Dai Mo with such great power and directly break through the city wall. The remaining robbers on the city wall were even more dead, as if they had seen their own end.

In general siege warfare, if the opponent's wall is broken through a gap, then the attacking side can rush through the gap, and finally enter the city, destroying the enemy inside. But now, no one in the messenger team had any intention of going in, but continued to let the magicians cast magic to carry out long-range bombardment, and never give up without killing the robbers.

And just like that, the battle continued, and not long ago, the walls were already riddled with holes and tatters. The robbers defending the city suffered even more heavy damage, with more than a hundred dead and wounded, while only one swordsman of the besieging emissary team was shot dead by Wapefuri and four or five swordsmen were wounded. The contrast between the two sides is very different.

Just when the battle between the two sides was in full swing, there was one person who was very idle and didn't do anything, as if he was watching a lively bystander, and this person was Ryan. He was a little embarrassed at this time, he was standing in front of the magician, but because he was using a fighting spirit today, he couldn't convert it into magic, so he couldn't cast a magic attack with the magician. The swordsman in front of him was already a complete defensive formation, and Ryan, as an outsider, couldn't insert it to help.

At this moment, even the two level 7 swordsmen beside Ryan were shooting arrows to attack the enemy, and Ryan was very embarrassed to do nothing. He would love to attack the enemy with a bow and arrow, but he didn't have a bow or arrow at hand, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to. He only had a crossbow and arrows on his body, but the range of the crossbow was too short, only a distance of more than twenty meters at most, and he could not shoot at all on the city wall more than fifty meters away. Therefore, Ryan had to stand awkwardly, with a long sword in his hand, ready for the magic arrows on his crossbow, waiting for a chance to strike.

Finally, the robbers, who had been under attack, could no longer resist, and many of the robbers began to retreat from the city walls and run into the canyon. Seeing this situation, Wapefuri shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to retreat, follow me and kill together, we will fight!" ”

In fact, Wapefuri should have made such a decision a long time ago, not to wait until nearly a third of the people were killed before deciding to kill them. (To be continued.) )
