6. The Decisive Battle of the Wild Sands Chapter 285 Anxiety and Assault
Bibith stood on the city wall and was frightened by Lydia's scolding, "Such a rude woman, such a low-level taste, mean, shameless, and obscene!" ”
Instead, Linton hurried up to the city wall, watched the strange man being stabbed by Lydia, and hurriedly raised his staff and chanted the healing soul technique.
Seeing a pure white soul light enveloping the strange man's body, Lydia naturally knew what she was doing, and snorted unhappily, "The most headache is that the nurse is replenishing blood in the back." ”
"Looks like someone has been harassed by an auxiliary profession?" Hei Ningxue smiled behind her, "Then call your mage sister to help you." As she spoke, her fan-faced soul stones flickered, and when she raised her hand to Linton, there was a row of small rapid-fire fireballs.
Bibith and Linton didn't expect Black Snow's attack to come immediately, and hurriedly dodged.
The fireball was as fast as lightning, as fast as a torrential rain, and crackled so hard that the people on the city walls could not even raise their heads. Bibith crouched under the bunker and exclaimed, "What is that witch, how can she have such a terrible soul technique?" ”
Linton hid behind a broken wall and said loudly, "This is the primary soul technique 'Burning Stream', Hei Ningxue is a transcendental-level magister, and there is no need to chant and mudra to use this soul technique, and even the spell can be omitted. ”
As if to verify his claim, another small fireball splashed over, and in an instant, it actually pierced through an earthen wall, and the two soldiers hiding behind were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could think of a way to escape.
Under such a dense soul suppression, Linton had no way at all. I can only wait for the respite of Black Condensation's soul magic circuit before making plans.
But Lydia didn't let them do anything else.
While Linton and Bibith were too scared to take the lead by Black Snow's soul magic, Lydia stepped forward with her spear and poked at the strange man named "Bitter Orange".
The strange man screamed, and two serrated broadswords attacked and defended the ground.
His twin blades, one fierce and the other swift, could have dealt with all kinds of enemies. But he didn't expect that Lydia's spear skills were not only faster than him, but also more powerful.
The twin knives parried in a hurry, and after only a few clanging sounds, the strange man let out a scream - the tip of Lydia's spear had poked into his abdomen.
The strange man swung his sword, thinking that his arms were so long that he might be able to slash Lydia. Unexpectedly, Lydia picked up the tip of the gun, and the barrel of the gun was stretched to four or five meters long with a brush. With a thud, the strange man was nailed to the wall.
The walls of Blue Rock City are not only hard, but the surface is also full of hooks and barbs, densely packed like a nail board.
The strange man slammed into the city wall, and with another scream, seven or eight bloody spikes immediately pierced his body.
Black Snow's soul technique finally had a moment's gap, and Bebith and Linton took the opportunity to quickly probe. Seeing the "bitter orange" being stabbed to death like this, even if it was the "demon monk" Linton, he had no skills to recover.
By this time, the sky was beginning to lighten, and Lydia collected her spears and ordered everyone to retreat to the stronghold that Bibith had built.
.
All of the sixteen strongholds built outside the city fell into the hands of the Red Pavilion army, led by Fili and Danica, who demolished the wooden fences outside the city and used them to strengthen the fortifications.
Several more caravans arrived in the Oasis City, pulling the prisoners of war and the people living in the slums back to the city.
In just one morning, Bebith was surprised to find that the stronghold and wooden fence he had used for defense had now become a cage around him. What made him even more unhappy was that the military camp of the Red Pavilion had also been moved outside Blue Rock City, and many craftsmen were assembling catapults and ladder carts for siege.
The clanging sound resounded in the sky, and Bibith's face became worse and worse. He was well aware of the intentions of the Red Pavilion army: Blue Rock City was an isolated city, and once it was besieged, it would be cut off from water supplies.
The banging sounds of the craftsmen were more like a sign of anxiety. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the city did not need to be attacked at all, and that within a week the city would surely collapse.
And at this moment, the most anxious was the "demon monk" Linton, he looked at Bibith's face, and couldn't help but worry, for fear that this strange tempered dead fat man would suddenly have a psychological breakdown and lift the seal of the sandworm's nest on the spot.
If what this fat man said was true, once those sandworms broke through the ground, not only would Blue Rock City cease to exist, but even Linton would not be able to escape.
Thinking of this, Linton couldn't help coughing: "I don't know if General Zahir has arrived at the 'Seed Desert', if Prince Hamid is willing to send troops to besiege the Red Pavilion, they will definitely retreat." ”
Bibith stroked the snail in his hand with a depressed expression, as if he would blow it at any time, "I thought that the four lines of defense would be able to delay them for a few months, but I didn't expect it to be only a few days......"
"Maybe you have a fifth line of defense." Linton persuaded him step by step, "If 'Rosemary' can establish a miracle at this time, it can also shake the military spirit of the Red Pavilion. ”
Bibith's gloomy face improved a little, "In that case, I'll wait and see for a few days......"
So, he watched as the scaffolding in those strongholds grew bigger and taller. Some of the strongholds that were close to each other even merged and became one. It didn't take long for them to surround the Blue Rock City like a Colosseum.
The scaffolding had been erected for a day, and as the remnant sun cast a dark red afterglow, the soldiers gathered up their tools and the day's busyness, and slowly withdrew from the construction site. Patrolling soldiers armed with torches and armed on their backs were stationed at the stronghold, guarding against anyone who wanted to enter or leave.
"It's the weirdest battle I've ever fought in my life." Nasian and the others were walking down the road carrying building materials, "The first time I heard that there would be people who were fighting and repairing houses. ”
"Veteran," Bard snorted, "Don't say it's you, it's the first time I've ever seen something like this." ”
Eggers wiped the muddy water from his face, "I thought we were going to tear the entire 'Blue Rock City' upside down in one fell swoop, but now I don't know what this is up there to be." ”
Bard shook his head, "What General Filip means is that we'll find out tomorrow." ”
Nacian looked back at the three-story scaffolding they had erected, "Let's not say what will happen tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll burn them down with a round of rockets fired out of it tonight." ”
Bard thought for a moment and replied, "Bibith's inner city is too far away from those strongholds, whether it's soul magic or bows and arrows, I'm afraid it can't reach it. I'm afraid that a troop of cavalry will rush out of him, with torches......"
Before he could finish his words, there was a roar of alpacas behind him, and the gates of Blue Rock City suddenly opened, and twenty knights rushed out with torches in their hands.
Seeing the soldiers of the Red Pavilion changing their guards with such fanfare, Bibith couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly found Linton and asked him to send a team of cavalry out to set fire to those scaffolds!
"Not good! Go defend! Nacian greeted and hurriedly ran back. Eggers and Bud followed, but Crohn "Big Hammer" sat under the shed, vowing to finish the flask before leaving, saving a lot of steps.
"They're all cavalry, and they're all spears!" Bard shouted loudly, picking up a few spears and tossing them at Nacian and Eggers. Just as they were about to rush out to meet the enemy, several tripwires suddenly pulled in front of the riders!
Such a big change of defense was naturally deliberately designed by Hei Ningxue, just to attract people from Blue Rock City to come out and attack. And those dilapidated shantytowns in the slums, Bibith can hide people in them, can't the black snow?
Besides, she not only wants to hide people, but also hides some powerful people, such as the former demon god assistant witch, Hei Ningxue herself.
The riders fell down the alpacas in unison, and before they could stand firm, there was a rumble behind them, and flames rose into the sky, cutting off the retreat of those cavalrymen. Hei Ningxue smiled with a feather fan in her hand, and said softly, "Why are there so many of them?" Forget it, stay if you come. ”
As soon as the cavalry wanted to surrender, a captain suddenly drew his sword and said, "Don't be afraid of her, she doesn't dare to use fire at this angle!" ”
The other people instantly woke up in their minds: their mission was to burn down the scaffolding, and if Black Snow fired fireballs at them, it would inevitably miss, wouldn't it burn her own fortifications?
"That's right." Several cavalrymen scolded, "She's a soul magician, and there's only one person, let's go up together and slaughter her!" ”
Hei Ningxue blinked, and was about to speak, when a large stone suddenly fell from the sky and smashed on the head of a cavalryman.
As the cavalryman's brains burst out, Kron walked up to them with a large mallet in his hand and said with a smile, "She's a sorcerer, but I'm not. ”
Eggers' head poked out from behind him, "As luck would have it, neither did I." ”
Nacian rounded his spear and smiled, "What's more, we're not alone. ”
Bard stood at the end with an embarrassed expression, "Do you three have to pose and say something dirty before you can do it?" ”
"Of course." Eggers sneered, "Nonsense is the soul of battle!" ”
With that, she threw the spear in her hand, and then the double knife came out of the sheath, and she ran wildly under her feet to kill it.
"Wait for me!" Crohn was already fat, and he couldn't catch up with her with a big hammer, "Okay, I'm at the front!" ”
"Then you're going to catch up!" Eggers' twin knives had stabbed one of the horsemen in the stomach, and then he turned and slashed half of the other's head.
Nacian jumped into the crowd with a spear in one hand and a sword in the other, stabbing with spears from afar, and slashing with swords from near. Most of those cavalrymen only had a saber after falling off their horses, and they couldn't parry his attack at all, and they were beaten in pieces.
"Master Crohn is here!" Crohn's mallet swept through like a whirlwind, and although it was an unpretentious crop handle, it was the most practical move. Those who were hit by him fainted on the spot, and at worst flew a few meters away and fell to the ground.
The fighting spirit that those cavalrymen had managed to gather was shattered by a few of them at once, and they were just thinking about escaping, but they saw Bard holding up a command flag behind him and shouting, "Guys from the new barracks, treat them well!" ”
Dozens of recruits with spears and short swords rushed forward with a roar, and the crowd of cavalry was a frenzied output.
After the cavalry fell off their horses, they lost their own advantages, and their numbers were already small, and they were beaten by these recruits, as if they were a group of cats teasing rats.
Seeing that they were in a mess, the heads of Fili and Danica poked out from behind the tarpaulin of the scaffolding. "Princess, are we a little redundant here?" They whispered to Lydia, who was hiding on the other side.
A few of them have been hiding here for a long time, and according to the original plan, the black condensation snow blocked the retreat of the cavalry, and it was their turn to appear. I didn't expect that there were so many stunned recruits who were so quick to steal their jobs.
"Kind of." Lydia also quietly poked her head out to glance, and quickly retracted her head, "Brutal, too brutal." ”
