101 Chapter One Hundred and One
The clouds of fire overhead were shrinking, and the mana shield was thinning, so that people could see through the flames and see that the enemy forces were regrouping outside the scorched earth. They had already set up the catapults that had survived the previous battle, apparently intending to completely break through the defenses of Palmor before the clouds of fire had completely dissipated.
If the magic array defending the city is destroyed before the fire cloud disappears, then the army and people in the city will face the terrifying fire rain with their flesh and blood, which will be a catastrophe for everyone. Knowing that this was the most severe test to come, Moeller and the others stood on the city walls, the soldiers who controlled the Wind Splitting Chariot and the low-level mages who controlled the magic cannons were already in place, and the bows and arrows of the magic archers were already on the strings.
"Attention Magic Gunner!" the white commander shouted, and after two seconds, he suddenly waved his hand: "Release!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Three deafening explosions came from the magic cannon in succession, and the three magic cannons spewed out purple flames several meters long in the violent shaking, and a shell with a diameter of half a meter left a phantom shadow at the muzzle, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flown out hundreds of meters.
Almost at the same time as the magic cannons were fired at the top of the city, the enemy troops outside the city also activated their catapults, and five one-man high boulders flew high and smashed towards the magic shield above everyone's heads.
"Stop!" shouted the commander.
"Buzz—buzz—"
More than a dozen Wind Splitting Chariots were agitated at the same time, and in the middle of the antler-like fork at the front end of the chariot, a mass of high-speed rotating wind magic was rapidly taking shape, and in just two or three seconds, a circular rotating wind blade was formed in the middle of the antler fork, and then in a burst of "bang" shooting, it hit the five boulders flying towards the oncoming body.
As an enchanter with a keen sense of angle and space, Moller began to shake his head at the very beginning of these Wind Blade Shots, as most of the Wind Blade Shots were clearly far away from the targets they were trying to intercept and would have no effect.
At that moment, Pace, who was in charge of all the magic archers, suddenly drew his bow and fired, and three blasting arrows shot in a zigzag shape at one of the boulders, the one that was the least intercepted of the five.
A good archer is no worse than an enchanter when it comes to sensing flight paths, and Pace has apparently made a mistake with the Wind Splitting Chariot and has taken action to intercept the boulders.
Moller's heart moved, and he immediately said to Eriba, who was closest to him, "Ereba attack the one on the far right!"
Ereba had planned to shoot with Pace, but after listening to Moller's words, he immediately adjusted the angle of the shot slightly, and after a bang, a blasting arrow was shot by him with the archery of a sonic arrow - after a series of accumulation and experience, Ereba became more and more proficient in the mastery of sonic arrows.
Pace's three blasting arrows hit the boulder he was aiming at one after another, and after repeated bombardment, the boulder disintegrated in the air, failing to hit the mana shield over the city.
Erebah's arrows hit the target as well, but a single blasting arrow was not enough to destroy the boulder, only shattering it into a corner, but fortunately, the attacks of the other archers followed, and two more blasting arrows hit the boulder, shattering it completely.
As a result, three of the five boulders were shattered by the magic archers and mages, while only one of the dozen or so Wind Breakers hit the target, shattering one boulder, and one boulder was hit by Federline's shot, but due to a moment's slowness, the boulder that split in half still hit the mana shield.
The magic shield, which had become a candle in the wind, shook violently even if it was only hit by such two halves of the boulder, and the white commander was even more angry at the soldiers who operated the Wind Splitting Chariot, ordering them to concentrate on shooting.
Of course, these soldiers can't be blamed entirely, the city of Pamore, which has been peaceful for a hundred years, has not focused on cultivating soldiers at all, if it weren't for the fact that after the royal family started a war with the Rose family, some special training was carried out on the army according to the custom, and the appearance of these soldiers would only be even more unbearable!
Fortunately, the attack result of the magic cannon was very gratifying, and the five remaining five catapults of the other party were directly blown up under the bombardment of fierce magic cannonballs, and together with the soldiers and strong men guarding the catapults, more than a dozen people also died, and only one magic cannonball was deflected by a high-level magician with a subtle control zhì and did not hit the target.
"Woohoo!"
There was another series of shots from the enemy's camp, and their attacks did not stop, and Moleton Guò saw that they were fifteen two-man tall wheeled instruments, the part above the base was like a bed crossbow, and the attack was as thick as an iron spear.
"Damn, they even have ballistas!" the commander let out a scream that a mature general should never have, which made the soldiers panic a little.
At this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, intercept according to your location!"
It was the Acting City Lord William's personal guard magician Brandon, who was standing in front of the commander at this time, as if he had grabbed his position, giving orders to everyone, there was an infectious force in his voice that people couldn't help but obey, although the commander behind him had a somewhat ugly face, but he did not object, so the soldiers subconsciously chose to obey his orders, and the steps of defense became much more stable.
"It turns out that this Brandon is a soul magician. Moeller felt the power of the Soul Sect's magic from the strange fluctuations in the other party's voice, and I believe that the other practitioners could also feel it, but everyone was also very dissatisfied with the commander's clumsy appearance, and they were happy to see this Brandon, who seemed to have some real skills, take over the command, so no one objected.
With Brandon's command, the efficiency of interception has really increased greatly, although it is still inevitable to be hit by one or two attacks to hit the magic shield, but the soldiers' reactions are rapidly maturing, and the attack efficiency has been significantly improved.
However, at this moment, the magic shield that enveloped the entire city suddenly shook violently, like a huge soap bubble that had been subjected to irresistible force.
The fire realm clouds that were originally blocked in the sky lost their interception, and a large area of flames collapsed, even if it was only the residual power, it was also the residual power of the 1o order magic, and a breath of destruction fell from the top of their heads, and everyone was shocked by this sudden change, even Moeller was not sure if he could survive under such a ruining power if he used all the protective power at hand!
At this moment, on several towering watchtowers standing in the city, a bright light suddenly appeared, and pillars of light rose into the sky, a total of eighteen, and these pillars of light jointly supported a transparent shield in the sky, colliding with the fire clouds that fell down.
As if the rain had cleared the sky, the last of the power of the Fire Cloud vanished in front of the transparent shield, but then the pillar of light on the watchtower also vanished.
Everyone in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a feeling of the rest of their lives, but at this time it was far from the time to relax, after losing the magic array to defend the city, the enemy attack that failed to intercept would directly hit the city, which made it very dangerous to defend the city.
"Well, what a comfortable breath!" Rex took a deep breath as everyone nervously responded, exclaiming the rich fire element in the wind.
After experiencing the Fire Realm Cloud, a 1O-order magic baptism that communicates with the fire elemental plane, the fire element in the sky above Palmor City is indeed very abundant, and Moller also feels that the concentration of fire element here is even higher than the volcano they used to live in!
However, when Moller and Rex were happy, Federlin, who was an elemental water magician, had an ugly face. After the magic shield was broken, the fire elemental tide created by the fire clouds was no longer hindered and had swept across the city, so this area would repel other magic elements in a short period of time, among which the most affected was the water element, which would have a great impact on his strength.
After lamenting the fire elemental, Moller repeatedly instructed Rex and Eriba to be ready to protect the power of the magic crystal at any time.
"Boom!"
A huge crossbow arrow like an iron spear hit the head of the city, and the strong city wall of Pamor City, known as the "Iron City", was still shot by the huge force of the ballista, and the crossbow arrows shot out with the huge force of the ballista made a gap half a meter high, and several bricks that were knocked out of the city scattered in all directions, killing and wounding several soldiers.
The first casualty made the soldiers defending the city a little panicked, but fortunately, a series of orders were issued, and a group of soldiers quickly replaced the dead and wounded, and a pair of soldiers in charge of logistics carried the bodies and wounded to the rear for proper treatment.
Just when the head of the city had just stabilized a little, I saw more than a dozen knights in heavy armor in the enemy army, riding tall magical beasts, suddenly rushing out, and quickly charging towards the city wall, followed by hundreds of cavalry on war horses.
The Monster Knights were often the sharpest strikers in war, and with a dozen or so ballistas suppressing them, the Wind Splitting Chariots on the city's head had no spare strength to intercept their charge. The main target of the three magic cannons is the enemy's base camp and destroy their siege equipment, while the mages are mostly responsible for defending against attacks that fly up to the city, so the task of dealing with these cavalry charges falls to the magic archers and ordinary archers.
The Warcraft Knight who rushed to the front rode an 8th-order Warcraft Stone-skinned Rhinoceros, and the Stone-skinned Rhinoceros weighing seven or eight tons was like a rushing locomotive, rushing towards the city wall of Pamor City, with the momentum of collapsing the city wall, and the knight sitting on it was wearing a blue-gold armor, and the whole person was like a metal pagoda, the sharp knight's spear in his hand was always steady in the fierce advance, and a layer of blue light like water covered the body of the gun, obviously he was a powerful Warcraft knight。
Pace, who led the team of demon archers, naturally chose the first arrow to target the knight in the lead, and an armor-piercing arrow flew out of the string after brewing for three seconds.
This arrow, like an eagle piercing through the clouds to pounce on its prey, has an indomitable momentum, and a cyan cyclone is wrapped in the arrow, but it is very hidden. Obviously, Pace is just as talented as Eriba, and his mastery of magic is more subtle.
The Warcraft Knight in the lead had long been wary of the attack on the city, and when he saw Pace's arrow coming, he immediately pressed his hand on the back of his mount, the stone-skinned rhinoceros, which suddenly swung its hooves and turned a corner to change the track. Allowing the huge Warcraft to temporarily change the track in such a high-speed run undoubtedly demonstrated the superb riding skills of the Warcraft Knight, but Pace was overjoyed.
I saw that on the armor-piercing arrow that had flown out of the hundred-meter, the cyan light flashed, and the arrow actually turned around in the air, aiming directly at the Warcraft knight who changed the runway.
Only high-level magic archers with very advanced archery skills have the ability to use the magic attached to the arrows to change the trajectory of the arrows after they have been shot. In fact, Pace can only accurately control the arrow within the first two hundred meters after it flies out, if the Warcraft Knight can calm down and change lanes when the arrow is about to hit, Pace will be helpless against him, but unfortunately at this time, because the Warcraft Knight is too anxious, the situation has become completely different, and the arrow that flew halfway suddenly changed course and aimed at him, so that he had no time to control the stone-skinned rhinoceros under the seat to continue to change lanes, seeing that the arrow was shooting head-on, he decisively abandoned his mount at the critical moment and jumped off the back of the stone-skinned rhinoceros running at high speed。
