Chapter 183: Unscrupulous
Seeing that this attack was temporarily ineffective, Ace could only shout at the city wall, "Get ready for the artillery bombardment!"
This time, Estée brought a lot of artillery to deal with the threat from the air. Now they're finally ready to use.
It was clear that without the help of time standstill, Ace would not be able to cope with more than 200 knight-level knights.
If the Shining Knight is here, then Ace doesn't have to worry too much. After all, they can also harness the magic of time and space. However, Ace was afraid of a fire in the backyard, so he specifically ordered the Knights to temporarily return to the rear area in advance to avoid a fire in the backyard.
Even if war breaks out, the Shining Knight's speed can quickly reach the battlefield for support.
However, it happened so suddenly that Ace didn't have time to tell Da Vinci the news, and the dragon knights of New Delhi had already taken the lead in killing them.
Hearing Ace's cry, Henry and Zavalado quickly took out the artillery carried by the army.
However, the Dragon Knight is much faster. Before their artillery was ready, the first group of more than 20 dragon knights had already jumped on the walls!
For a moment, dozens of soldiers guarding the city wall were torn to shreds by the extremely sharp claws of the wyvern!
Such a scene is so horrific and cruel that people can't look at it directly!
After a few breaths, blood splattered everywhere. Blood flowed into the rivers on the city walls, and severed limbs and arms were everywhere.
Henry's eyes were filled with anger, and he said to Zavalado, "Get the cannon ready as soon as possible, and I'll help you stall for time!"
Zavalado knew that now was not the time to argue about who went and who stayed, so he nodded in agreement and went on to order the soldiers to fire the artillery as soon as possible!
Henry turned to the dozen dragon knights and said coldly, "I'm going to see if the dragon knights have made progress over the years!"
Before he could say a word, he strode out. He ran fast and rushed behind the dragon knight in the blink of an eye.
The dragon knight commands the wyvern to kill. It was a fierce slaughter, and they didn't notice Henry's rapid approach.
However, the Dragon Knight is also a Paladin's strength. As Henry was about to enter his five-meter range, he felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind him.
However, it was too late to turn back and resist, and the dragon knight instinctively leaned forward and landed on the Wyvern's back.
Henry's sword grazed the man's back and flew past him. The sword pierced into the air. Henry wasn't flustered at all. As he flew over the man's head in the air, he put his foot on the ground again and heard a "pop". Before the paladin could react, his head exploded, and the headless corpse fell straight to the ground.
Not only that, but Henry's kick was very powerful. After crushing the man's head, he also stepped on the ground with one foot.
Wyverns howl and struggle on the ground.
However, before Henry could kill the wyvern with a single sword, he only heard a few bagpipes and several bows and arrows shot at Henry's head.
When Henry fought, he was very focused, instinctively turning to the side, narrowly dodging those extremely cunning arrows.
However, the crossbow and arrow quickly stabbed several soldiers behind Henry, immediately piercing their bodies and taking them away.
The "thump" of the arrows was loud. The soldiers were nailed to the tower not far away. It's impossible to live anymore!
Henry's anger reached its peak in an instant. He roared, and the sword in his hand suddenly burst into flames.
Henry was like a ghost. He rushed into the middle of a dozen dragon knights and began to kill everywhere!
Although the dragon knights are powerful, the width of the city walls is not enough after all. Giant wyverns can't rotate flexibly and look bulky in battle.
Dragon knights are not stupid. They quickly figured out what the problem was. When faced with a group of weak opponents, Wyverns can stand on the walls and slaughter at will.
However, when they faced a strong warrior, they couldn't keep doing so. As a result, these dragon knights soon took to the skies along with the dragons.
However, they have just taken off, and the artillery of Zavalado is ready!
"Launch!"
Under the command of Zavalado, the fuses of dozens of giant explosive guns were ignited, and then the artillery charged up and immediately fired.
The two dragon knights did not react in time and were hit by sharp artillery. Although the special dragon armor is powerful, it is not enough to see in the face of the dwarven forged cannons.
Although the cannon could not penetrate the entire Wyvern, the first layer of armor was still penetrated, and the tremendous impact pushed the two Wyverns into the sky.
The two dragons howled, and there was no time to fall. As soon as a loud "boom" was heard, the crossbow exploded immediately. Both the Wyvern and the Dragon Knight above were blown to pieces!
A dozen or so other dragon knights, though dodging the cannonballs, were affected by the arrows from their backs one by one. They were in a state of confusion for a while, and all of them were hurt to varying degrees!
Seeing that the situation here had basically stabilized, Zavalado ordered seven or eight artillery pieces to change direction and face the eastern sky.
There, Ace is battling hundreds of dragon knights.
Zavalado shouted to Ace, "Ace! Attention!"
Ace didn't turn around in response, but immediately flew back to the wall using the black hole.
The moment Ace returned, Zavarado immediately ordered:
On the command, seven or eight exploding artillery pieces rushed out. Those dragon knights wanted to escape, but there were too many of them. Even if someone escaped, some unfortunate people were shot in the back.
The sound of "thump" was heard. More than 20 dragon knights were killed on the spot, and the scene was extremely tragic. More than a dozen dragon knights could not escape, and were seriously injured by the shock wave generated by the explosion!
For a moment, the dragon knight in the air was in a mess.
Ace returned to the wall, turned to Zavarado, and said, "Protect that spy. He's important to us!"
At this time, in the midst of the war, there was no time to ask the spies and had to wait until the end of the war.
Zavalado nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I've already sent people to safety."
The expression on Ace's face was a little relaxed, but when he turned to the east, the expression quickly became solemn.
The reason why the dragon knights arrive first is that they are not limited by the terrain and can fly into the sky. In addition, dragons fly very fast.
Now, the truly powerful New Delhi army has finally arrived!
However, by this time the dragon knight forces had not yet been completely resolved, but the troops from New Delhi had already arrived quickly. This situation is very unfavorable for Ace.
However, Ace had a ditch dug outside the city in advance, which was a good thing. It took some time for the cavalry of New Delhi to sneak into the city.
In addition, these trenches are also camouflaged. If the cavalry only focused on charging and did not notice the traps, they would pay dearly for it!
According to information obtained earlier, 150,000 New Delhi Emperor *** team has been on their way to this place for a long time. Now, after such a long wait, the army is finally here!
Just before that, the faster dragon knights were the first to attack the small city.
When the troops are attacking from a distance, the fastest cavalry, except for the dragon knights!
Now that the knights have arrived, will the warriors and magicians be far away?
Now, the most important thing Ace needs to do is to get rid of the dragon knight as soon as possible.
He originally wanted to use this black hole to temporarily teleport these dragon knights hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, which would greatly reduce the pressure on Ace's side.
However, considering that he still had to deal with 150,000 troops, and that it would take him a lot of mental power to teleport so many dragon knights, he chose to confront them head-on after weighing them up and doing his best to destroy the elite power of this New Delhi Empire!
The best option is to break the artillery!
Hundreds of dragon knights in the sky heard the sound of iron hooves coming from the east in the distance. Their once somewhat decadent morale has suddenly returned!
One by one, they seem to have regained their original morale.
Henry walked up to Ace and asked him anxiously, "What should we do now?" 150,000 troops are really coming,
This time the organization of the army is much stronger than last time! It seems that New Delhi is determined to fight back this time!"
Ace's face was a little uncertain. After thinking for a moment, he said, "No matter what, we need to destroy these dragon knights before the army comes here. Even if they can't be completely wiped out, they will lose at least half of their combat effectiveness!"
Henry nodded, "Alright, I've got your back!"
Ace shook his head, "Let me deal with the Dragon Knight. Your most important task is to try to stop the troops in New Delhi. There's no way to stop them with a ditch alone!"
Zavalado is still worried: "Reinforcements have arrived, but our reinforcements have not yet been reported. Even if we try our best, we may not be able to delay for long!"
Ace wasn't very worried about this: "The spy of the Thorn Rose wants to come early, and has already gone to the back to inform the Knights of Light, and I ask the Eagle to convey the information as soon as possible. At the speed of the Knights, as soon as they receive the news, they will be here soon!"
Henry wanted to say more, but saw Ace wave, "It's okay. I know what I'm doing. I know it in my heart! Be of good cheer!"
Seeing Ace's repeated insistence, Henry and Zavalado couldn't go on.
"We've used an explosive artillery once, and I guess they'll take precautions as well, and it won't work very well. So in the future, I will drag the dragon knights, and Henry will lead the troops to harass the army outside the city. Remember, don't get caught up in the fight, we just need to delay!" Ace whispered.
Henry nodded, "Okay, I see!"
Later, he walked down the city wall and led 4,000 elite soldiers from the Yali River province to be stationed outside the city.
Ace turned to Zavalado and said, "What you need to do is make sure the walls don't disappear! Normally, artillery is not needed, unless the army of New Delhi has crossed the ditch and is preparing for a massive attack on the city, or the dragon knights want to sneak into the city walls."
Zavalado nodded heavily, "Don't worry, concentrate on dealing with the dragon knights in the sky and leave the rest to me!"
After roughly explaining the battle plan, Ace looked coldly at the eastern sky. The Knights of New Delhi rushed here like a flood breaking through a levee.
The dragon knights in the sky, one after the other, have already begun to celebrate the victory in advance.
In fact, during this period, the morale of the New Delhi Corps was very low. After all, in just a few days, half of the province of Sharp fell into the hands of the "traitor" Ace.
The 100,000 soldiers sent earlier were even annihilated in a matter of seconds.
How can such news be spread in the military without people feeling humiliated and humiliated? The atmosphere in the regiment also became extremely dull, as if everyone had a big rock on their chest.
Now, with the arrival of the Empire's 150,000 elite troops, these people are naturally excited.
Ace knew that this time the New Delhi Empire would not have too many reservations. Many of the 150,000 soldiers must have been sent from the Warcraft Mountains.
That said, the secrets inside the Warcraft Mountains may no longer matter. Perhaps the trick of the empire has been carried out.
Although it is only speculation at the moment, this speculation has already worried Ace.
Soon, the dragon knights in the sky formed again and prepared for a second assault on the town.
This time, the dragon knights were far away, some even closer to the south and north of the city.
For the tactics of the dragon knights, Ace clearly saw that they should be ready to attack the city from different directions.
In the eyes of the dragon knight, even if Ace is strong, he is only one person, and it is unlikely that he will defend the city wall from different directions at the same time.
At the moment when the dragon knight dispersed, Ace immediately used the "Burst Gas" magic, and his strength suddenly reached the level of a great magician. Then he summoned the newest phantom - the Dark Pitch Dragon!
"Oh!"
A dragon roared from the sky and the earth, and a huge phantom dragon with a black light appeared above Ace's head!
"Give me Zavalado in front of me, guard the north wall!" After Ace finished speaking, he spread his dragon wings, and then rushed towards the dragon knight.
Under Ace's control, the Dark Paint Dragon soon came to the south wall!
Zavalado hurriedly shouted to the steppe warriors beside him, "Soldiers, don't let any enemy enter the city!"
Yes, the loud voices of the soldiers shook the sky and the earth.
Zavalado then rushed towards the north wall with a few explosive steps.
Although the strength of the Dark Paint Dragon and Zavalado is not as strong as Ace, Ace believes that most of the dragon knights are concentrated on the frontline battlefield, and the pressure on the walls on both sides should not be too great!
"Fast forward!"
In the sky, a dragon knight wields a long sword and drives away the dragon. He was the first to rush towards Ace, who was hanging in the air.
The real siege begins!
Ace immediately disappeared into the distance. Immediately after, he used the dark dagger to cut off the head of the dragon knight who gave the order.
However, the corpse remained in a tight position to pull the reins until the wyvern below him began to dive into the water with the corpse, and the poor fellow's corpse fell and hit the ground hard and fell into meat sauce!
This is the terrifying thing about the Great Magician of Darkness. He won't give the dragon knight any chance to react. Can kill any dragon knight instantly.
However, this "blow-up" state cannot last long. Ace must do his best to get rid of these dragon knights, otherwise, when New Delhi's troops are killed, he will not be able to balance heaven and earth.
In addition, during the validity period of the "Burst" magic, the power of any magic used by Ace will be greatly increased, as will the consumption of mental power and elemental magic.
Although as a dark mage, with the blessing of the Sun and Moon Mark, Ace's spiritual and magical powers quickly recovered, he also felt tired as time passed.
Therefore, time magic is Ace's most important magic.
Ace is very powerful in the state of the Great Magician. These dragon knights became confused under his collision.
However, when Ace has the power of a great magician, he cannot use time magic, because time magic requires too much mental power. It is estimated that once Ace casts "Time Standstill", it will take him a long time to relax and adjust!
Although the dragon knight lost a commander, it didn't take long for someone to come out and shout loudly, adjusting the chaotic formation.
After Chinobi became the commander of the Imperial Squad, he made a rule: on the battlefield, the lieutenant would make up for the death of the captain; After the death of the lieutenant, the lieutenant will fill this position, and so on. There must be no leaderlessness.
As the elite of the army of New Delhi, how could this dragon knight not know such military discipline?
Therefore, after the death of the captain who gave the order, another captain stood up as commander. When all the captains died, there were also lieutenants and second lieutenants!
In recent years, Chinobi's reputation in the corps was not very high, but the military discipline he developed was extremely strict.
Now, on the real battlefield, the benefits and advantages of these military disciplines are gradually being manifested.
Soon, the dragon knight formation regrouped and prepared to attack Ace again!
Ace knew that even if he was a dark mage, he would not be able to withstand the onslaught of hundreds of dragon knights!
After the dragon knight regrouped, Ace chanted a spell before attacking, and then shouted, "Darkness has come!"
In a moment, the sky turned completely black, and countless black lines appeared, which soon entangled dozens of dragon knights.
The wyvern was crushed by the thin lines of darkness and let out a wail. His body kept writhing, trying to break free, but he couldn't.
Before the other dragon knights could fully respond, Ace rushed into the crowd again and began a second kill!
At the same time, in the face of hundreds of dragon knights, Ace was powerless. But now, nearly half of the dragon knights are trapped by the dark thin line, so he faces less pressure.
In just ten seconds, Ace seized the opportunity to kill five dragon knights, including the commander who gave the order!
"Hold on to your mount and defend with arrows!" Another captain began to serve as a commander!
Under his command, another volley of arrows was fired, forcing Ace to appear and
Return to the city walls.
A powerful rain of arrows also shot at the city walls.
Ace had just landed, and before he could stand firmly, he saw a rain of arrows coming.
Zavalado yelled, "Get down!" Before hearing his words, he took an explosive step into the sky, and the wings behind him suddenly appeared.
The great sword in his hand swung violently in front of him, drawing a huge arc. The sword light formed a huge shield that blocked the front of the city wall.
The sound of "ding-dong-dong" kept coming, and dozens of stout bows and arrows shot at Zavalado's sword light.
Zavalado's face flushed, clearly struggling. Under the onslaught of dozens of huge bows and crossbows, his figure kept falling backwards, about to crash into the city wall.
Ace immediately crushed a wind demon scroll, and a wall of wind tens of meters wide blocked Zavalado's body.
However, this round of arrows had a wide distribution and high speed, so even as Zavalado and Ace tried to stop them, dozens of powerful arrows pierced through the defense line and shot at the wall.
Some of the soldiers were killed by arrows on the ground of the city walls before escaping.
There were two other people who had been lying behind the walls, but those crossbows and arrows were so powerful that they shot through the walls and hit themselves in the head.
For a moment, the scene was very scary, and the smell of blood quickly spread.
A few bows and arrows pierced through the walls and into the houses of the city. The roof was immediately pierced. I don't know if the civilians inside were injured!.
Ace was about to rush up again, but the commander had already ordered another round of arrows to be fired.
In this case, Ace can't storm the Dragon Knights anymore. He can only passively choose to defend!
He quickly crushed another magic scroll. The red lights are flashing and the fire is burning. A curtain of fire soon formed in front of the city walls.
However, at this moment, Ace saw a strange smile suddenly appear on the commander's mouth, and an ominous premonition made Ace's body tremble slightly.
However, all the dragon knights raised their heads and bodies slightly, and the dragon heads were also raised.
"Launch!"
A rain of arrows shot into the sky, completely avoiding the curtain of flames.
When Ace was confused, the first arrows were shot into the city behind him.
The moment the arrow landed on the ground, the arrow exploded, and a puff of dark green smoke immediately spread.
Then the second, the third...... Dozens of arrows are falling everywhere in the city!!
At this time, Ace came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Beware of poison gas!"
Ace was angry. He never thought these dragon knights would be so crazy. In order to retake the city, they don't even care about the lives of the people of the empire!
"Are they crazy?"
Zavalado stared at the green smoke in the city.
There was a hint of anxiety in Ace's eyes. He hurriedly asked, "Where is the spy?" Is he in the city?"
Then Zavalado woke up and said, "Don't worry, he's not in the city. I have sent him to a cellar on the west side of the city. There were two followers I trusted watching. Everything will be fine!"
Ace breathed a sigh of relief, but his eyes were cold when he saw the green poisonous fog in the city.
If these toxic fumes are allowed to disperse, mass casualties will occur in less than half an hour!
However, Ace quickly came up with a solution. He looked up at the clear sky, then pointed to his head and let out a loud bang!
Soon, the whole sky darkened. At first, there were only a few wisps of clouds in the sky, but soon, thick clouds and dark clouds gradually formed.
Suddenly, a thunderclap pierced the sky, followed by a dense bolt of lightning that split the sky into countless pieces.
Soon, the rain poured down, and the whole world suddenly went into a hazy state.
The whole city was filled with smoke and rain, and the green smoke distributed throughout the city was quickly covered by heavy rain, avoiding mass casualties!
Seeing the green smoke disappear with the rain, Ace breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at the dragon knight in the sky.
"Hmph, you're ruthless enough! I don't care about so many innocent people in this city!" Ace said coldly.
