Chapter 559: Hand-to-hand combat
"All men are in formation, ready to fight." Ryan snorted lightly, and then not only did more than a dozen level 6 swordsmen under Ryan move, but also the soldiers who threw shè javelins on the city wall, threw the javelins in their hands, and then pulled out their long swords, and stood in pairs back to back, and then two pairs of people stood side by side.
These soldiers are very strong soldiers in the edge towns, and their swordsman ranks are mainly intermediate swordsmen and level 5 swordsmen, mixed with a few powerful level 2 swordsmen.
In a moment or two, everyone formed a battle squad of four soldiers, standing staggered with each other, forming large open spaces on the city walls. The monsters that were thrown up the walls would basically fall into these clearings and be besieged by the soldiers.
There was also a group of soldiers lined up, facing inward, with their backs against the archers' backs and swords facing inward, and their task was to protect the archers and shield bearers. In addition, a group of soldiers stood in front of the magician to protect the magician and allow the magician to perform magic with peace of mind.
Ryan and more than a dozen level 6 swordsmen did not participate in the formation, they were all alone, and their task was very heavy, and they were the main force to deal with those high-level magical beasts.
The defenders of the edge town had obviously made a lot of preparations to deal with the demonic beasts that climbed the city walls, and the current formation was both simple and effective. Ryan and other people who have just come to the edge town can apply it proficiently as soon as they hear the introduction.
"Sword Attack!" Jumping in mid-air, or the monster that was thrown over, Ryan hurriedly screamed again. Immediately, some high-level swordsmen who reacted quickly rushed to these demonic beasts whose defensive ability in mid-air had plummeted. Some high-level swordsmen who reacted slowly waited for the formation to be formed. After the companion issued the shè sword blade, the shè sword blade was issued one after another.
Ryan also made a move immediately, he stood in the middle of the city wall, constantly swinging the super-level magic sword, and with each swing, there were two square blocks of light one foot wide, flying towards the demonic beasts in mid-air one after the other.
This is a weakened version of the flying sword technique, although the square light block is smaller. But it's not as powerful. Moreover, Ryan's flying sword skills do not need to kill the demonic beasts in mid-air, but only injure these demonic beasts, so that they cannot jump on the wall and fall back to the ground, even if the mission is completed.
Ryan was so powerful that he shot down eight monsters that jumped up in a row. Suddenly. Within ten meters of him, not a single demonic beast could jump onto the city wall.
However, the situation is not so good elsewhere. The blades issued by level 5 and level 6 swordsmen may be more powerful than Ryan's one-foot-wide square block of light, but these blades do not have the coherence of Ryan's flying sword skills. As a result, only half of the monsters were shot down in mid-air, and the remaining half of the monsters jumped onto the wall, or crossed the wall. Jump into the city.
The monsters that jump into the city are not to be feared, and there are plenty of reserve soldiers waiting to deal with them in the city.
The monster that jumped on the city wall did a lot of damage to the soldiers, and since the width of the city wall was not wide, the soldiers lined up in formation. Occupy a certain advantage, but you still have to fight hand-to-hand with the Warcraft.
"Woo......"
"Roaring ......"
Once the monster jumped on the wall. It became completely crazy, and the narrowness of the space made it impossible for them to perform magical attacks, but the bite and claw tearing, coupled with the flexible body style, could cause a lot of casualties to the soldiers at once.
Although the soldiers set up a formation to let the monster fall into a heavy encirclement, although the soldiers besieging together can cause countless wounds on the monster's body, the injured monster is more difficult to deal with, they will become more crazy, and continue to attack without fear of death.
Of course, the soldiers also attacked desperately. Once the war starts, it is easy for the soldiers to burst out with blood, forgetting the power of the Warcraft, and also rushing forward desperately without fear of death. This time, the high-level swordsmen are a little better, they will not be killed by the Warcraft all at once, at most they will be injured, but the intermediate swordsmen and a few Level 2 swordsmen are not in such a good condition, they may be seriously injured at once when they encounter the powerful attack of the high-level Warcraft, or even be killed directly.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty breaths passed, and half of the demonic beasts were killed. Those low-level and intermediate-level demonic beasts that were thrown onto the city wall were easier to deal with, and they were quickly killed when they were besieged. Those high-level demonic beasts are very difficult to deal with, each of them can kill several soldiers, kill and injure more than a dozen soldiers, and still do not die after suffering countless sword wounds, still causing more casualties among soldiers.
"Ballistas and magicians pay attention, focus on attacking elephant-like monsters." From the watchtower came the order of the Kyiv general, which was issued a little slowly. Since the start of the war, there have been many attacks against elephant-like monsters, but the defense ability of elephant-type monsters is too strong, plus elephant-type monsters can protect against magic, so although elephant-like monsters are scarred, they are all minor skin injuries. Now the Kyiv general has given an order to make everyone understand that the elephant-like monster must be killed first.
BallistasDue to the angle problem, only two or three ballistas in front of the elephant-like monster can shè towards them. However, the giant crossbow arrows that could always pierce the bodies of other demonic beasts could only shè into the bodies of elephant-like demonic beasts half a meter deep, causing them to suffer heavy injuries and still have some distance from falling. Therefore, the main force in killing elephant-like demonic beasts is still magicians, especially high-level magicians. Under the protection of the soldiers, they can perform powerful magic.
"Boom ......"
A loud magic explosion sounded, and Ryan looked over in a hurry, and found a mammoth-like monster near the city gate, whose head was blown apart and collapsed.
Obviously, from where the mammoth-like monster was standing, it must have been killed by Master Molai of the level 7 magician.
"Ah......h
Many other magical beasts ran in front of the elephant-like demonic beasts, and used various magic to block the magic sent by the magicians of the city wall, so that the elephant-like demonic beasts could survive.
Come, elephant-like monsters can't be killed at once, and there will be many monsters jumping on or being thrown onto the city wall next.
After Ryan used his flying sword skills to deal with many of the monsters that jumped around him, he didn't continue to stand in place to perform the flying sword skills, but chose to move quickly, he had to go to support his companions, to deal with the monsters that were still causing casualties to his companions. If Ryan hadn't come to his aid, the soldiers on the city walls would have been able to kill these monsters, but the casualties would have been greater.
"Poof......
Ryan trotted back and forth on the city walls, quickly approaching the struggling monsters surrounded by soldiers, and immediately performed a weakened version of the sword-killing technique, which easily killed or severely damaged the monsters that had not been killed for a long time. Ryan only took out one sword, and immediately ran to other positions, if the monster was not killed, but was only hit hard, Ryan would not continue to attack, and the soldiers who besieged them next could quickly kill the hard-hit monster.
Ryan moves very fast, and he doesn't want to waste time, so he directly casts the killing move of the sword killing technique, otherwise he will definitely have to spend a few moves to solve it. However, in order to save fighting energy, Ryan's sword-killing skills are all sword moves that weaken the power to the extreme, which can only break through the defense of the demonic beast and cause damage to the demonic beast. This kind of method of saving the fighting energy to no waste seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult, and Ryan can barely make full use of every fighting energy after widening the running route in the body.
A moment later, in the area where Ryan was in charge of defense, all the monsters that had not been killed were all killed by Ryan once. However, there were other monsters jumping on the wall one after another, or being thrown onto the wall, so Ryan never stopped. It's a pity that he is the only one in this area who has the strength of a level 7 sword master, and it is really difficult to take care of them all. Some particularly powerful high-level demonic beasts are still able to cause a large number of casualties among soldiers.
"......"
There was a long sharp howl in the sky in the distance, and Ryan quickly turned his head to look over, only to see one or two hundred bird-like demonic beasts flying in the sky, swooping towards the city wall.
Ryan was sharp-eyed and found that the leader was two griffins, and the other few were eagle beasts, and most of them were eagle beasts. Obviously, this batch of bird-like demonic beasts are all mid-to-high-level demonic beasts.
"The magician attacks the demonic beast in the air." General Kyiv's order sounded at the right time, in fact, there was no need for his order, all the magicians knew that they had to stop the bird-like monsters in the air, not only the magicians, but the other soldiers also knew that the next moment was critical, if the bird-like monsters were allowed to attack at will on the heads of the soldiers, then there would be more casualties.
All of a sudden, all kinds of magic and all kinds of sword blades poured out towards the roaring bird-like demonic beasts, and even, some intermediate sword blades that could not send out sword blades picked up the reserve javelins and threw shè towards the bird-like demonic beasts.
More than a hundred bird-like demonic beasts did not spread out to attack the city walls of the edge town, but concentrated their firepower and flew towards the watchtower in the middle, and when they were about to get close to the watchtower, they immediately sprayed magic in their mouths, and after spraying, their bodies immediately rose up, gliding over the city walls, and then flew into the air. This attack mode is as lethal as Ryan's fighter planes bombing in his previous life.
Thankfully, the birds didn't realize the benefits of this back-and-forth bombardment, and instead of continuing after performing a magic bombardment, they spread out and stayed in mid-air, casting their magic on the walls near the watchtower. In this way, the magicians and soldiers have a better chance to fight back.
In a moment, thirty or forty bird-like demonic beasts were defeated by various dense attacks, most of these downed demonic beasts were intermediate-level demonic beasts, and those powerful high-level demonic beasts and middle-level demonic beasts with agile bodies were not so easy to be defeated. All the monsters, including the two griffons in the lead, dodged various attacks while using their magic to blast towards the watchtower.
It's a pity that the protective light shield of the watchtower is specially made, and it is not something that these bird-like demonic beasts can break, and countless magic spells shroud the watchtower, which can only make the light shield on the periphery of the watchtower shine brightly, and there is no sign of breaking.
