Chapter 557: Siege
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and the morale of the defenders of the city increased greatly, and the next battle was much easier to fight. Previously, he learned from the level 6 swordsman stationed in the edge town that there were as many as seven or eight thousand demonic beasts that came to attack the city last night, and now the number of demonic beasts is a little less, plus he is intimidated by the sword of Dean Ruiton, so the pressure on the defenders of the city must be greatly reduced.
Ryan was shocked that Dean Reighton was able to send out an infinitely powerful fire dragon, but he felt that this was the most normal, in the past, Ryan had faced a level 6 swordsman with super strength, and he could cast a one-zhang long fire dragon, so now the level of the great swordsman can send out a fire dragon three or four zhang long, which is not very exaggerated. Moreover, Ryan also felt that Dean Raidon had reservations, and his real strength must be more than that.
The monsters stagnated, as if they were afraid to move forward, and at this time, Dean Ryton was still in mid-air, and the soldiers defending the city and the monsters besieging the city all raised their heads to look at Dean Rayton.
"These monsters won't be scared away by Dean Ryton just like that, will they?" A whimsical thought floated in Rui's heart, but then immediately denied that the wisdom of Warcraft is not as good as that of humans, and many times it relies on instinct to act, maybe it will instinctively run away when it is afraid of being beaten badly, but it will definitely not run away if it has not been beaten.
"Roaring ......"
Suddenly, there was a continuous roar from a distance, at least from miles away. The sound was not loud, and in people's ears, it was not as loud as the roar of the demonic beasts just now. But hearing it in Ryan's ears suddenly made Rui Anxin jump up violently, and then his heart palpitated.
Ryan was taken aback: "What kind of monster is so powerful?" Could it be a level Warcraft? ”
The reason why Ryan judged that it was a first-level Warcraft was that in the Warcraft army before, there were Warcraft who gave orders to let all Warcraft roar together and move forward together. And this demonic beast that gives orders must be a level 7 demonic beast. Therefore, in the distance, this Demonic Beast that responded to Dean Ruiton's provocation must be one level higher than the Rank 7 Demonic Beast in the army, and it is likely to be a Rank Demonic Beast.
The roar from afar had an effect on Ryan, and then on the soldiers in the fringe towns. The impact is greater. Sure enough, the faces of the soldiers on the city wall all changed greatly, and some of the weaker soldiers still touched their chests with their hands. Apparently the sound caused the heart to shake. It's uncomfortable.
Dean Ruiton in mid-air, his face became very difficult, he couldn't be sure if there were any level monsters among the demonic beasts before, but he was suspicious. But now it is certain that the other party has a level of Warcraft.
But why didn't the first-level demonic beast personally lead the team to attack the city, and chose to stay a few miles away? In Dean Ryton's mind, there is such a question, and there is no answer.
The roar of the level demonic beast stopped abruptly, as if it had never sounded for a moment.
The army of Warcraft under the city. Before, Dean Ryton was shocked and stagnant, but now when he heard the roar from behind, he suddenly became excited and no longer afraid. Immediately, the roar of one of the demonic beasts in the army sounded, and the demonic beast army rushed to the city wall again, this time it was really going to attack the city.
The soldiers on the city wall were affected by the roar of the Demonic Beasts of the Primal Level, and their morale dropped slightly, but when the Demonic Beasts attacked. The soldiers no longer had time to generate other negative emotions and concentrate on dealing with the monsters.
The length of the wall of the edge town is close to five hundred meters, and the number of demonic beasts is large, enough to spread out to attack the city wall together. Of course. At the middle of the city gate, the number of demonic beasts besieging the city is the largest.
The monsters already had experience attacking small towns on the edge, and instead of immediately rushing over to engage in hand-to-hand combat, they ran to the bottom of the city. Then he looked up and cast his magic, blasting straight at the wall. Time. Three or four thousand magics, large and small, attacked in the direction of the city wall like heavy rain.
Some weaker magical beasts can't attack very far, so they can only attack the city wall in front of them, while those powerful magical beasts can attack the defenders on the city wall from a distance, and can even cross the city wall and attack the city.
At this time, the walls of the edge town reflected the powerful effect of thousands of years of tempering, and suddenly encountered countless magical attacks, which could be resisted alive. At this moment, the city wall was like an iron plate, so that the magic hit on it could not show its due power. Those low-level magic, if hit on other city walls, or hard ground, may be able to create a large deep hole, but on the walls of the edge towns, it can only leave a shallow scratch, except for making the already somewhat blackened city walls even darker, almost ineffective. Those intermediate-level magics could only knock down the city wall stones half a foot to a foot wide, but the depth was very shallow, only two or three inches, which was almost harmless to the city wall that was more than ten meters thick. Only those high-level magic can shoot down stones that are two or three feet wide and half a foot deep, but among the Warcraft army, the number of high-level Warcraft is not much, and there are not many high-level magic that Warcraft can send out every time, and it can't completely penetrate the city wall at all.
In fact, when the Warcraft attacked the city last night, it had already attacked the walls of the edge towns with thousands of holes, and the most serious part was almost a meter thick. But as soon as the Warcraft retreated during the day today, the logistics personnel of the garrison in the edge town used all kinds of molten iron and stones to repair the city wall, so now the Warcraft is going to attack the city wall again.
The magic that attacks the city wall has little effect, but the magic that attacks the defenders on the city wall has some effect, and the magic that goes towards the shield hand on the city wall is mostly mid-to-high magic, and most of it is resisted by the shield of the shield player. The shield bearer's shield is specially made and very thick, which can withstand all kinds of powerful magic, so the shield is very heavy, and the shield player must jam one side of the shield on the slot of the city wall to be able to resist the shield's defensive ability. With only a small amount of magic, it was too powerful, knocking the shieldman's shield to the ground along with the man, and then inflicting damage on the soldiers on the city walls.
As for the magic that flew into the city, it didn't do any damage because it flew too far to give the reserve soldiers enough time to dodge.
In the army of Warcraft, those low-level magicians who can't attack magically, such as the Pigs, are very miserable, and they can't mix in the Warcraft without moving, so they use their strong size to rush the city gate, and as a result, the city gate naturally can't be opened, and can only become a live target for the defenders on the city wall.
"Attention all, zì yóu attack." The voice of the Kiev general, at the moment when the monster had just moved, immediately sounded. Immediately, all the attacks that had been prepared for a long time were sent out.
Countless stones of different sizes, from the catapults inside the city wall, crossed the city wall, and smashed into the demonic beast. The angle of the catapult has long been adjusted, and the range of the attack is from twenty meters to one hundred meters away from the city wall, and because there are many monsters, they can hit the monsters without aiming. Within twenty meters of the city wall, it is not the attack range of the catapult, which is mainly worried that the stones thrown will accidentally hurt the soldiers on the city wall, and moreover, there are too many stones in this range, and it is easy for the monster to take the opportunity to step on the stones and climb the city wall.
The angle of the ballista's shè is not large, but the powerful shè power makes the lethality extremely powerful, and one arrow shè out, even if there are monsters with super defensive power such as the pig and the fire bull in front of them, they can easily shè through their bodies. And those small high-level demonic beasts, if they are hit by a ballista, they will also die on the spot immediately. Only those very large magical beasts can last a little longer.
The bows and arrows of the archers on the city walls are much less powerful than catapults and ballistas, and they are basically unable to kill monsters with one arrow. However, bows and arrows also have benefits, they can shè the vital parts of the monster at close range, such as the eyes, throat, abdomen and other positions of the monster, although it can't make the monster die on the spot, but it can also make the monster go crazy and affect the combat effectiveness of other monsters.
The most powerful means of attack on the city wall is the javelin thrown by the swordsmen, with a few steps to run, the javelin full of fighting spirit is thrown out, as long as it is not those monsters with thick skin that it is difficult for intermediate swordsmen to break through, they will basically be javelins shè into the body, causing extensive trauma, excessive blood loss and slowly dying. What's more, the number of javelins on the city walls is very large, and there are countless reserves in the city walls, which can be replenished at any time, so the javelins can be described as inexhaustible.
As a defense town that has been established for thousands of years, the edge town has a very large stockpile of various weapons, and there is no need to worry about the lack of supply, and every time after defeating the monster, many weapons can be recycled and reused, such as stones, such as arrows and javelins, which are not easily damaged and can be repaired.
If you want to compare the lethality, then the magicians on the city wall can be said to be the most lethal people, and there are many soldiers in front of the magicians, without worrying about their own safety, directly cast all kinds of powerful magic. When magicians usually fight alone, they may not be able to reflect their powerful attack power because of the long casting time, but in such a war situation, magicians can use more time to cast magic, and the power is naturally infinitely magnified.
For example, a level 2 magician, with the magic power in his body, can cast a powerful level 2 group magic in three or four breaths. However, if he uses the same amount of mana but takes close to twenty breaths to cast the spell, then he will be able to cast a level 2 mass spell that is twice as powerful.
Moreover, the longer the magician casts the spell, the more powerful it is, but the magic consumed does not increase much, because the magic prepared with more casting time can mobilize the magic elements in the surrounding space and reduce the magic consumption in the body. Ryan has never done this kind of situation, not because he doesn't know how to use it, but because he has always been almost alone, and he has never had the time to fully mobilize the magical elements of the surrounding space.
The number of magicians in the edge town is still too small, close to the five-hundred-meter city wall, there are only a hundred magicians, and a large part of them are intermediate magicians, although they use mass magic from time to time to attack the magic beasts under the city, but the level of magic is not high after all, plus the defense of the magic beasts against magic attacks is generally very strong, so the number of magic beasts that die under the magic attack of the magician is not much.
