Chapter 205: Battle of the Platform Golem

Through the siege of the elements, at least a few of the Golem's means of attack are known. The crowd also wanted to see how they could respond to long-range shooting.

"Not yet, let me take a break. Siegel said, "There is so much elemental energy passing through my body, and now every nerve is aching, and my arms are shaking. Can you give me time to recover?"

"We have three longbows and two crossbows, so we don't need your hand. Kerry said with a smile.

"If the golem had other means, you would need my spells to deal with it. Siegel said to the giants: "My most important task is not to attack, but to make sure that everyone has a way out. ”

"Listen to Siegel. Leah said, "We're not in a hurry for this time. ”

The mage sat on the ground to rest, adjusting his breathing and relaxing his spirit. While generations of mages have refined their spells, the human body is not completely magically friendly, unlike dragons that can carry magical energy without condensation. If he continued to use magic like this, the remaining spell power would accumulate in his body, which would not only affect the subsequent release of magic, but also make him feel extremely tired.

This is not a physical problem that can be solved by exercising, but can only be cultivated over time. The good news is that Siegel's physical recovery ability is far beyond ordinary people, not only in the recovery of wounds, but also in the recovery of "magic fatigue". After a while, he was able to breathe smoothly, suppressed the shaking of his fingers, and the tingling in his skull gradually disappeared.

He rested for a while, and did not stand up until he felt nothing out of the ordinary.

Everyone has been waiting for a long time, and they can finally move their hands and feet. It's a pity that there isn't much space on the platform. Only the most marginal position has the best angle of fire. So you can only take turns.

Arrows pierce the air. Stuck on the Golem's body, the Golem immediately stood up, and they looked around, and it didn't take long to spot the enemy that was attacking. The Air Elemental Golem was the first to strike, standing on the edge of the platform, its palms outstretched forward, a whirlwind wall blocking the path of the arrows.

Except for the Elven bow, all other ordinary bows and arrows. None of them can penetrate the wind wall to hit the enemy. "If only there were trebuchets or ballistas," said the dwarf with great annoyance, "I am afraid that in 100 years I will not be able to tell the winner." ”

The golem's counterattack did not end, and the Earth Elemental Golem stood behind the Air Elemental Golem, pinched a handful of dirt from the ground, and squeezed it vigorously in his hand. Everyone thought he was going to throw a stone ball, but it let go of its hands and threw the dirt on the ground, leaving only a cloud of green light floating in the palm of his hand.

"It's a strong acid arrow. "Don't get caught up in them!"

The mage reacted immediately. The wand streaked through the air, a transparent wall of force fields between them and the golem. The golem's strong acid arrows turned into five or six meteors and flew towards the people on the platform, and the wall formed by the force field caught all the attacks. The strong acid flowed down from the air and dripped on the mountain, burning the stones into small holes.

"I don't know how the Knox Guild managed to wipe out the other two, it's too tricky to fight!" the dwarf scratched his head, "It seems that there is no other way than to confront them head-on." ”

The others nodded, knowing that a vicious battle was inevitable. Before the Earth Elemental Golem was ready to attack again, Siegel led everyone down the mountain path. Seeing that the enemy was out of sight, the golem returned to its original position and began to slowly repair the damage on its body.

Everyone spent a long time in total, and finally listened to Siegel's suggestion to set up two battlefields. One is on the platform, where the giants and dwarves of martial arts strike together, leaving the golem too busy with hand-to-hand combat to care about the elements of digging the mountain on the side. This work does not need to be done all at once, and it is possible to keep trying while it is safe to do so, and if you can find the weaknesses of these golems and take advantage of the situation to eliminate them, it is ideal.

If the scene is deadlocked, then rely on the strength of the construction team to dig up the entire platform and let the golem fall. Hopefully, the drop of a few hundred meters will do enough damage to them. At the foot of the hill a second position will be set up: the dwarves will dig pits, calculate the rulers, bring small trebuchets and ballistas from the top of Mora, and build siege platforms. As long as they leave the narrow terrain halfway up the mountainside, at the foot of the relatively open mountain, the dwarves can devote more troops to attack,

"It's the best I can come up with," Siegel said, "and if there's anything else to add, feel free to mention it."

"Won't those golems run away if they can't be beaten?" asked Giant Kerry, "with their bodies, it's hard to stop them if they're bent on escaping." ”

"Normally speaking, that doesn't happen. The Golem's goal is to guard the entrance to the cave, that's pretty much certain, so they'll try to get back to the hole and continue their duties. The golem will not be afraid, so naturally it will not run away,"

Siegel finally said, "If you don't have a problem, let's get to work!"

The battlefield became a construction site, and everyone was busy. After a series of constructions, Siegel's engineering knowledge is also accumulating, and his rune guards play a much more role in engineering excavation than in battle, and how to manipulate these elemental guards to improve work efficiency, Siegel has more and more experience.

A large amount of earth and stone was hauled out, and the dwarves dug pits and raised the surrounding ground to set up platforms for ballistas and trebuchets. In the name of military training, the Jewel Clan sent a large number of personnel to the Dragon and Lion Cliff, and hundreds of elite warriors came one after another. They brought in large and small boxes in horse-drawn carts, removed parts from them, and assembled several ballistas in a very short time.

Kerry the Giant was very interested in these things, and spent his days wandering around these engineering equipment, asking questions. When the dwarves saw that he had a straightforward and bold personality, they did not treat him as an outsider, so they went with him to see and ask him. Kerry, who had learned some specious trebuchet principles over the course of a few days, excitedly came to Siegel and spoke to him. "Now I'm more sure I'm going to break through the walls of Waterdeep. ”

"You've been trying to sack that city!" Siegel cried. However, thinking of the threat of the Knox Guild, the Tri-Peaks Tower was still behind the walls of Deepwater City, so he decided not to meddle in this matter.

The golems paced up and down on the platform, looking at the busy people below, and they felt a certain threat. However, with their intelligence, they can't figure out what to expect, and due to the preset commands, the golems can't leave the platform to come down to the camp and can only passively wait for things to happen.

And so it passed for ten days. Everyone was ready, and when it came time to fight it out, everyone seemed very excited.

Trebuchets and ballistae were ready, twenty of them, more than enough to attack a fortified castle. There are 4 to 5 people next to each machine to operate it, and the ammunition is very well stocked. It depends on whether the attack team can attract the attention of the enemy, and whether the construction team of the excavation platform can complete the work fast enough.

The platform attack team is composed of 6 people, and the giant Kerry must stand first, which belongs to the pride and persistence of the chief. No one can stop it.

Siegel unsheathed his sword and handed it to him. "The Ice Spear, though sturdy, may not be able to be used in the narrow terrain of the platform, so you have my sword with you as a spare weapon. ”

The mage then gave each of them a rune stone, which contained the dwarven rune techniques and the mage's spells, which could be used to help those who fell. Originally, everyone was supposed to prepare a landing potion, but firstly, the level of the potion was not good, and secondly, the bottle was easily shattered in the heat of battle. The dwarf runes are not so squeamish, but there is no featherfall spell in the rune language, and Siegel combines the characteristics of runes and mage spells to create this temporary rune stone.

Everyone was in place, and the dwarven priest blessed them with battle, and the crowd was in high spirits, and soon climbed to the platform where the fossils were made of mud. Since the golem can only defend passively, the time of the battle is up to Siegel and the others, so everyone still has time to check their equipment one last time.

"That's it, mage, this is already a battle that has been prepared to the extreme, I really can't think of any reason to cause defeat!" The dwarf was full of confidence, the giant was full of fighting spirit, and Siegel also summoned the earth elemental rune guard, and chose the construction angle of the cutting platform.

"Go to war, warriors!" Siegel ordered: "Charge!"

The giant let out a loud shout and jumped onto the platform with a run-up. In order to avoid leaving smooth ice on the stairs and causing trouble to those behind him, he began to charge before casting the Ice Armor, and the cold power of the spear was also activated. The golem jerked to its feet and swung its fist at Kerry. It doesn't worry about its own damage at all, it just wants to take out the enemy as quickly as possible.

The spear slammed into his fist, shattering ice and breaking ground together, and the force of the impact was transmitted from the barrel of the gun, and Kerry only felt that his hands were a little difficult to hold. The Ice Spear pierced through the Golem's two fingers and into its fist, firmly jammed. Sensing the threat, the Elemental Golem immediately drew elemental power from its surroundings in an attempt to mend the wounds on its fists.

The hole healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Kerry hurriedly drew his spear outward. Unexpectedly, the golem took a step forward, and suddenly approached, and the other fist swung sideways, swinging towards the giant's arm. Kerry was reluctant to let go of the gun, which was a fetish and symbol of his tribe. So the giant used all his strength to fully exert the power of ice, and prepared to resist the golem's fist.

A dwarf rushed up and stood beside Kerry. He thrust his shield into the ground and flicked the mechanism. Only two clicks were heard, and the shield dug into the dirt, turning into a protective wall on the side. The golem's fist slammed into the shield wall, and the dwarf's body shook as he slammed into the shield wall, holding his ground with a loud shout of "Roar!"

A third warrior climbed up, a steel hammer larger than his own head in his hand. After seeing the situation clearly, he spun in place and threw the steel hammer in his hand with a snort. The hammer flew with a crackling bolt of lightning like a flat bolt of thunder and slammed into another golem. Its momentum of running faltered, and some of the fragments in its chest that had been hit by the hammer flew in all directions, and it fell to the sky.

The fourth to climb up was the Dwarven Rock Priest. He held aloft the rune gem and prayed to the patron saint for help. The "Fortitude" rune shimmers, projecting power onto everyone. You can recover your depleted stamina faster and maintain your ability to sustain combat as much as possible.

The fifth fighter climbed up, holding a chain ball in one hand and a hammer in the other. The platform was almost full, so he attacked in the back row. The long chain was flung out and wrapped around the golem's arm, and the dwarf raised the hammer and steel bar to secure the other end of the chain to the ground.

Realizing that it was restrained, the golem jerked backwards, pulling out the chain with all its might. The dwarven defender turned sideways, using his body to block the flying chains for Kerry. The giant stood on his feet and pulled out the Ice Spear before the Golem's fist could heal. With a loud shout, he took three steps forward and attacked the lower half of the golem's body.

The last warrior is Redbeard's Occam, whose weapons are different from the others. In both hands, he held a bronze cylinder with intricate lines drawn in platinum and alchemy. The dwarf stuffed a "solidified" runestone into the cylinder from the front end, then raised it to aim at the golem.

Only a loud bang was heard, and the cylinder shot the rune stone out. Solidification runes are often used to strengthen the foundations of buildings, where they are able to withstand tremendous pressure and remain stable. Sensing the threat, the Elemental Golem raised its hand to block. As soon as the rune stone touched the body of the golem, it was immediately activated, producing a huge impact. The tiny runestone became like a giant stone ball, destroying the golem's palm in one fell swoop.

"Well done!" said Giant Kerry, cheering, his attacks unstoppable. The golem had several holes in its knees, and it was forced to retreat continuously.

The advantage of the battle is almost at your fingertips, but the golem is not so easy to deal with. The Elemental Golem, knocked down by the hammer, stood up, pulled out the hammer embedded in its chest, and threw it down the mountain. The hammer thrower dwarf straightened his arm and spread his palm, and the falling hammer received the command and turned around and flew towards his palm.

Regaining mobility, the two golems converged, and the golem behind suddenly straightened his hands and plunged straight into the shoulder blades of the previous golem. In this way, they become one, and at the same time begin to mobilize the energies of the surrounding elements.

"Get behind me!" the dwarven defender shouted, pulling his shield from the ground and holding it in front of him. He pulled a bottle of grease out of his pocket and smashed it against the shield. I saw a shadow of a mountain peak, shaped like the top of Mora, rising from the shield and blocking everyone.

Knowing that this was not the time to act recklessly, Giant Kerry stepped behind the dwarven defenders. However, his tall body couldn't cover it at all, so he simply made a second layer of shield.

Siegel was directing the Earth Elemental Rune Guards to frantically dig the platform, when he suddenly felt the surrounding Earth Elemental and Qi Elemental forces gather at an extremely fast speed. When he saw the two golems joining together, he felt bad and immediately took out the scroll.

In this environment, the water element fluctuates with minimal fluctuation and can also form a stable structure. So Siegel erected an ice wall between the golem and the battle team.

The ice crystals were climbing higher and thicker, but before they could fully form, the Elemental Golem's attack came. (To be continued......)
