After two days of repairs, the internal operation of the Invincible City is back on track.

Through this period of observation, Li Li found that the radical style of this Elgar leader was very different from that of Zorant.

It belongs to the personality type that is as stable as it is.

Not only is the camp far away from the invincible city, but it is also located on the back of the hillside, for fear of being attacked by long-range attacks.

And when Li Li returned to the invincible city, he didn't even come to attack with a [giant catapult].

Two more days passed, and it was time to agree on the day when [Blackwater Town] would pay taxes to Invincible City.

Mayor Gitters didn't miss the covenant again because of the siege of Invincible City.

Instead, he hired [Aisha Mercenary Group-Bounty Hunter-Thief] Ori, who was locked up by Li Li last time and gave advice on city defense, to send the tax money and an information.

In the fake surface lord's mansion, Li Li saw Ori.

Ori said that no one dared to accept this life in the mercenary group in the town, and the first was that he was afraid of the invincible city with a bad reputation.

The second is that he can't get home with stealth skills, and he is afraid that he will be caught by Rune's troops and executed as a spy.

"Then why did you dare to come?"

Li Li asked curiously.

"Because the lord is credible, and you said that you will release me after mentioning the city defense proposal, so you really let me go."

Ori explained.

"Thank you for your trust, there is a row of rooms in the north corner of the city, where you can go to rest first, and then leave when you find a safe time."

After Li Li finished arranging, he glanced at the tax money.

The amount is the same as recorded in the ledger, a total of 17 gold and 31 silver.

After a rough guess, this amount is quite reasonable.

As for the content of the secret letter, it is also very simple, that is, Gits reminds Li Li that Elgar is a very difficult leader.

I hope he must be careful, no matter what the situation, [Blackwater Town] will be on the side of Invincible City.

At this time, Li Li found that Ori hadn't left yet, so he asked curiously: "Ori, is there anything else?" ”

"It's like this... I want to join Invincible City! ”

Ori straightened his body and said very seriously.

"What about the Aisha mercenary group?"

"You can quit over there, and I'm just the lowest mercenary, and if I don't register with the union for a long time, I will naturally be removed from the list."

"Welcome, but there is no need for thieves in the city right now, you may have to work as a laborer for a while, is there a problem?"

"Nope."

"That's good."

Li Li found Ori's request to become a subject on the system panel and clicked to confirm.

"Now that you are joining the Invincible City, you can choose a house in the center of the city, and you can go to the housekeeping director Ajie to declare the location and specification area."

"Thank you, Lord!"

Ori said, kneeling down on one knee.

After the others left, Li Li clicked on the system panel again.

Because just now he noticed an anomaly.

It has been more than ten days since anyone applied to join the Invincible City, and the number of subjects is still in the early 100s, which is not as large as the number of beasts in Bai Haitao.

In the past, when Invincible City had not been able to defeat Rune, at least some [Desert Escapees], [Bandits] and other homeless people came to seek to enter the city.

Li Li pondered for a moment, and felt that the revelation of this corrupt army was inseparable.

Because even if it is captured as a slave by a black-hearted lord with a bad reputation, it is hard work at best.

If you are caught by the rumored corpse refining madman, don't even think about liberation when you die.

And in Dott Province, the most well-known corpse refining madman is Li Li himself.

Of course, the invincible city, which is dominated by corrupt troops, does not need many human subjects at the moment.

But in the recruitment of indigenous talents, there will be a lot of losses.

Alas, since the corrupt army is used, it will have to bear the disadvantages it brings.

Li Li thought about this question for a long time, and he could only accept the reality.

In the afternoon of the same day, a mighty force appeared in the distance.

Seeing the familiar Blue Lion Banner, needless to say, he also knew that it was Elgar's troops who had come to attack the Invincible City.

"About 100 elite archers, about 200 elite knights, and 5 giant catapults..."

Li Li at the head of the city used the goggle zoom function to check the opponent's troop configuration, and then observed the leader Elgar.

Elgar, dressed in red armor and riding a black horse, was in his early 50s, looking at the towering walls of the Invincible City with a grim expression.

Flame Swordsman Elgar Lv.25

"Look at the equipment, this Elgar is also a stinky warrior."

Wang Qiang put down the monocular and said with some disappointment.

"According to the descriptions of the subjects in the city, this Elgar is very good at pulling, and he will definitely use a giant projector to throw a boulder that will explode first, forcing us to take the initiative to attack, but if we really want to go out, the advantage of the city wall will be gone."

Bai Haitao analyzed.

"Then let's take a look at the situation first."

After Li Li finished speaking, everyone entered the inside of the city wall.

After a while, a violent explosion sounded overhead.

Li Li opened a block and looked at the outside, and found that the arc trajectory of the opponent's [Giant Catapult] was irregular.

And in terms of loading, it turned out that the [logistics soldier] drove the carriage and pulled the boulder to manually load, and the efficiency was not high.

As for why the boulder can ignite, it is due to the fact that Elgar applied the skill [Sky Burning Sword] to the [Round Boulder] before launching.

After smashing two rounds of boulders with fire, and there was nothing to burn on the city wall, the threat level was naturally not painful or itchy.

So the [Giant Catapult] advanced again under the cover of the troops, although this range still does not want to attack the city, but as long as you continue to test forward, sooner or later it will be drawn into the range.

"This siege method is really obscene, and I know how to fight a little bit of consumption."

Shen Qiaoyin said indignantly.

"You can't blame him, after all, Zolant was so badly cheated last time."

Li Li can understand the other party.

The good troops, as soon as they turned their heads, fell into the pit and disappeared.

As a leader, no one wants to see such a scene.

"Qiaoyin, your talent is to learn the opponent's sword moves after watching them a few times, right?"

Li Li asked.

"Yes, as long as it's not too complicated."

"Then come and take a look at Elgar's Sky Burning Sword."

Li Li said, putting the goggles on Shen Qiaoyin's head.

"Wow, it's so advanced, so much data can be seen."

Shen Qiaoyin felt very surprised.

"Touch the knob on the left to adjust the zoom magnification."

Li Li instructed.

Shen Qiaoyin tried it, and then looked at Elgar.

While watching, he drew the long sword at his waist and demonstrated.

Three minutes later, Shen Qiaoyin, who ripped off his goggles, said with great confidence: "I learned!" ”

"So easy?"

Wang Qiang was very surprised.

"I'm still going to lie to you, see if I show you.... Drink! Burn everything, Heaven Burning Sword! ”

Shen Qiaoyin raised the long sword and dubbed the sentence.

As a result, the action was swinging for a long time, and there was not even a spark on the blade.

"No, I've learned... Oh, the system says that my weapon doesn't have a fire enchantment, which is not enough to release the Sky Burning Sword. ”

Shen Qiaoyin looked at the panel and said helplessly.

"Forget it if you don't, Haitao has brought Xiong Da Xiong Er, and we have to fight back."

Li Li said.

Bai Haitao felt that this deployment was a bit difficult to understand, but he still did it.

Not long after, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who were wearing iron armor all over their bodies, came to Li Li.

"Haitao, tell them to take off their armor, or it won't affect their work."

"Work? All right... Can you tell me first, what kind of work do you want to do? ”

Bai Haitao asked tentatively.

"I'm going to fight Elgar!"

Li Li informed.

Inside the stone house on the city wall, there was suddenly silence.

Li Li didn't care, took out a [iron pickaxe] and began to slash at the wall.

After smashing a few blocks, another space appeared.

Bai Haitao and the three of them followed in, and found that two [giant catapults] were deployed here.

"These two were captured last time?"

Wang Qiang speculated.

Although there were a total of 10 [Giant Catapults] brought by Zolant last time, 8 of them fell into the pit and broke into parts.

Even if it is recycled, no one in the Invincible City can repair and reassemble it.

But because the other party only wanted to escape, he still captured 2 finished products.

"That's right."

Li Li confirmed.

"But the other side has 5, and the boulder thrown is still on fire, so you can't win the fight."

Shen Qiaoyin felt that it would not work.

"We're fighting from high ground and low ground, and the attack mode is completely different, they can't beat it."

Li Li informed.

"You're saying we still have an advantage?"

Shen Qiaoyin said incredulously.

"That's right, you listened to the landing point of the boulder on the city wall, did it move back?"

After Li Li finished speaking, the three of them listened for a moment, and the heavy smashing sound was indeed coming from behind the city wall.

Wang Qiang suddenly said: "I understand, because they are below, they can't detect the target at all, so they can attack an area at the maximum range, and if the catapult continues to move forward, the attack area will naturally move forward."

"That is to say, the front end of the city wall that I am in now is already a safe area that has been attacked."

Bai Haitao understood at once.

"Yes, but our advantage is not only the ability to observe the opponent's position, but also the super fast reload speed."

Li Li informed.

"Reload speed?"

Shen Qiaoyin took a private look and found that the height and area of this stone house had been greatly expanded in order to place the [Giant Catapult].

It's the [round boulder] used for filling, and I haven't seen a single one.

"Haitao, you and Xiong Da operate one, and Qiaoyin you and Xiong Er operate one."

Li Li said and began to deploy.

"What about me?"

Wang Qiang asked.

"Your strength is not enough... Take care of aiming. ”

Li Li thought for a while and said.

"Haitao Qiaoyin, what you both add is strength?"

Wang Qiang asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, add something."

Shen Qiaoyin felt that this issue was uncontroversial.

Bai Haitao showed off his muscles with his arms, and said with a smile: "The beast is very simple, if you want them to submit to you and recognize your status, the best way is to be stronger than the beast." ”

"Everyone has different types of occupations, and it's normal to add different points."

Wang Qiang held his head high and said, as if to show that he was not wavering at all.

Bai Haitao and Xiong Da came to the left and right sides of the [Giant Catapult], and at the same time rotated the [Winch Rocker Arm], and the cable bowstring quickly tightened.

Li Li knocked off the large piece of [Stone Block] at the top, and after completing the opening, the cable bowstrings of the two [Giant Catapults] were already taut and ready to be launched at any time.

"You can't leave a boulder unprepared, right?"

Shen Qiaoyin, who hadn't seen the boulder yet, asked a little anxiously.

"Here we are."

Li Li said, coming to the launch pad at the end of the projection arm, he first threw a [Stone Block] on it out of thin air, and then began to stack new [Stone Block] with this block as the core.

More and more blocks accumulate, and the volume naturally increases.

Groov! On the console where Wang Qiang sits, a mechanical firing lever connected to the projection arm retreats into the groove at the end of the slide rail.

"Wang Qiang, you fire."

Li Li reminded.

Wang Qiang, who was a little dazed, woke up like a dream, grabbed the starting rod and pushed forward.

In the position of Elgar's troops, the deputy commander [Knight Captain] was using a telescope to watch the situation on the side of the Invincible City.

Although Mao can't see it, since it is a task assigned by the commander Elgar, even if he is pretending, he must not slack off.

"Elgar Chief! Something really flew over! ”

[Captain Knight] said in amazement.

Elgar drew her sword with a flow of firelight and stared warily into the air.

Sou! Rumble!!!

The huge stone with many edges and corners drew an arc in the sky, smashed on the grass 300 meters away from the position, and shattered into dozens of stone cubes in an instant.

"It's... Boulders? ”

Elgar wasn't quite sure.

"Probably not, a boulder of this shape can only be lifted and moved, who would be so stupid as a throwable."

[Captain Knight] speculated.

"Damn, the remnants of Zolante's troops did conceal information in order to exonerate themselves, and I think it is unusual that all 10 catapults were destroyed."

Elgar felt that he had been trapped, and no one told him that the Invincible City was equipped with a [Giant Catapult] at all.

"Don't worry about the Elgar chief, they didn't dare to fight back for so many days, and now they show the giant catapult, it is estimated that they are forced to do nothing, otherwise the boulder will not fall so outrageously."

[Captain Knight] analyzed.

Elgar glanced back at the Giant Catapult that was being launched in the position.

Two Hercules are needed on the left and right sides of the winch rocker to tighten the cable bowstring with all their might.

An experienced soldier is needed on the console to direct the adjustment of the direction and aim at the landing point.

Not counting the logistics units that specialize in carrying [Round Boulders], only one [Giant Catapult] requires the cooperation of five people to complete the launch.

Coupled with the [Sky Burning Sword] he inflicted on the boulder, both sides were using the same [Giant Catapult] to bombard, and the difference in level was also obvious.

"You have a point, give the order to continue the attack."

Elgar's style of combat is indeed known for its caution.

But there is no reason why the enemy will start thinking about how to retreat if he throws a random stone.

"A little further to the left... It's big... A little further to the right..."

Learning the lesson of the last miss, Wang Qiang commanded one man and one bear below to adjust the direction by pushing the base of the catapult disc.

"Okay, don't turn around like that, I'll adjust the other one."

Coming to Shen Qiaoyin's control console, through the opening in the city wall, Wang Qiang closed one eye and began to aim.

"Wang Qiang, do you really know how to operate a catapult?"

Shen Qiaoyin pushed the disc base hard and asked curiously.

"What's so difficult about such a simple construction."

Wang Qiang felt that it was nothing.

"Oh? Could it be that this is the benefit of adding intelligence? ”

Bai Haitao speculated.

"It should be, otherwise some professions with the main plus intelligence are too weak."

Li Li agreed, of course, this is the default talent in the case of career balance.

After a short time, everything was ready, and Li Li issued the final deployment.

"Our advantage is that the reload is fast enough, the firepower is very fierce, and we can strike accurately at fixed points, so we don't have any stop when we wait, for the previous bombardment of the invincible city, now is the best time to take revenge! Fire! ”

Li Li gave the command, and two irregularly shaped boulders were thrown out of the city wall.

Squeak! Squeak!

While! While! While! ....

With the close cooperation of the four men and the two bears, the two [giant catapults] were moving at a speed far beyond the norm.

"Hehe, I don't think I can do it, I dare to throw a boulder..."

The [Knight Captain] who looked up suddenly stopped smiling, because the first boulder that flew out of the city wall had not yet fallen, and the second one flew out again.

And the landing point, as if in the center of the position.

"Chief! There is a danger !! ”

The Knight Captain shouted as he pointed over the Invincible City.

Elgar looked up and saw that three boulders were being smashed towards the position... Wrong! It's already four.

"All withdraw..."

Rumble! Before Elgar could utter his words, a boulder fell into the center of the position.

First, he smashed several [Elite Cavalry] and shattered the [Stone Cube], using the impact of the explosion and the hard edges and corners, to cause extremely strong area damage in the surroundings.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ....

The boulders smashed the position in a very rhythmic and continuous manner, as if there was no sign of stopping.
