"I knew I had brought the wolves with me, and maybe I could use them for a wave of temptation."

"Don't think about it, if Your Excellency the Speaker and the witch doctor of Ishshara don't arrive, the wolves won't die for us."

"It's too.... In short, let's use the siege engineering vehicle to test the round first, and don't send flesh and blood to it. ”

The results of the witch doctors' deliberations were sent to the Great Fang as a 'suggestion', and as the commander-in-chief of the front, he accepted the witch doctors' concerns and issued an order to temporarily attack the castle with machinery.

In the vicinity of the battlefield at this time, the stone has been consumed by the horned hoofs when they built the city, and there is no way to efficiently transport the stone farther away;

Therefore, in the absence of a suitable projectile, the catapult retreated to the next good and began to fire the previously prepared round wooden stakes.

Dozens of catapults more than ten meters high, under the control of the trolls, began to attack the city wall, although the wooden stakes they fired were huge, but they did not really bring a devastating blow to the city wall, only when the 'projectile' swept over its top, it could bring considerable killing effect.

Faced with this situation, Giant Tooth changed its strategy in time;

He ordered a change in the elevation angle of the projection, and instead of seeking to destroy the wall directly, he tried to launch the stakes into the city as much as possible to hit the residential areas of the hornhoof.

On the other hand, the ballista, which fired super-heavy spears, also failed to achieve the desired results;

The enemy's walls were too solid, and even if the overweight spear had a certain weight and a considerable initial velocity, it could only break a few pieces of masonry in vain, and then tremble its tail and insert it into the cracks of the wall.

However, this effect made Greatfang's eyes shine, and it seemed that he could see a feasible way to use it when climbing the city.

And the horned hoofs on the city wall did not sit idly by and watch the trolls' attack at this time.

The northern regions where they used to live were not civilized deserts like the Black Forest fifty years ago;

In the hundreds of years of communication with the northern tribes, and in the successive wars with old enemies, they also gradually learned the manufacturing methods and application methods similar to machines, and also made preparations here to a certain extent.

As a result, the equipment belonging to them also began to exert their strength, and the building materials and stones reserved in the city were continuously launched towards the troll position.

The giant wooden stakes on this side and the stones and building materials on the other side repeatedly intersected in mid-air for a while;

They occasionally collide with each other, occasionally pass by, and cause more or less damage at the end of the line.

But on the whole, it was clear that the engineering equipment on the troll's side was stronger in the confrontation.

The resulting discrepancy depends first of all on the differences in the materials used by both parties;

The trolls are committed to transforming trees, and continue to develop materials that are highly performant, even beyond the conventional wisdom of wood.

However, there is a vacancy in this area, and the materials obtained are what they can be, and if the strength of the wood is not enough, the metal will be replaced, and if the strength of a certain metal is not enough, then it will be replaced by other more suitable metals.

In short, they look for what they lack, and are accustomed to looking for replacements in nature;

And what about the teeth? It is to change what is lacking, and constantly upgrade on the basis of natural materials.

In fact, there is no question of which is better or worse, but before the development of "metal civilization" to the point of "actively seeking special alloys", there is no doubt that the road on the tooth side has more advantages.

On the other hand, this is also due to the gap caused by the different development models of the two sides;

The techniques of the hornhoof species tend to be 'mysterious' and 'unknowable', and rarely work on the 'intersection of magic and non-magic';

Powerful spell effects, powerful magic change warriors, and powerful spell props are the direction they are looking at.

However, the tooth is different, from the very beginning, the development of dental techniques began to be biased towards 'transforming nature', 'interpreting nature' and 'precision manufacturing';

Although the results are very preliminary, even the 'runes' as the base themselves cannot be fully interpreted;

But in any case, they are indeed on this path, and they will 'seek the truth' and will actively seek to use magic to create more sophisticated 'non-magical' props.

Therefore, the engineering vehicle produced by the tooth has the effect of "pointing where to hit", rather than as on the opposite side, most of the landing point of a projectile depends on fate.

Of course, relying on "mechanical precision" and "excellent materials" alone cannot do the so-called "where to play", and there is indeed a crucial factor in the existence of reuse - the development of mathematics and physics.

Black Forest.... Or, more accurately, the teeth, their mathematics and physics were based from the beginning, on the knowledge that Nesta had brought with him from his previous life;

The speed of its development and the results achieved are not comparable to those naturally growing civilizations in this world.

However, after all, the north is too far away, and the world seems to be very vast, perhaps this should not be too full;

But the performance of the horn-hoofed species at this time proves that at least they have a huge gap with their teeth in this regard.

All in all, under the interaction of the above-mentioned 'cause and effect', and under the difference in the development paths of the two sides, the horn-hoofed instruments showed great disadvantages in terms of quantity and accuracy.

And the results of this disadvantage were soon apparent......

In the position on the troll's side, the witch medicine disciples have already begun to put pen to paper;

Through factors such as the final landing point and flight curve of the projectile, they reversed the position of its launch point behind the city wall, and quickly made adjustments to their own firing elements.

So, after several rounds of successive 'booms', no more 'projectiles' were thrown out of the city.

The catapults in the city have now been 'targeted out,' leaving only a pile of scrap and corpses in their place, testifying to what had happened here before.

The Trolls' catapults readjusted their angles and reverted to their previous attacking mode;

Huge wooden stakes swept through the walls with precision, killing and wounding the warriors as they continued to enter the city, further destroying large swaths of dwellings not far from the southern wall.

The Great Chieftain and the clan chiefs were already organizing the evacuation, but the continuous bombardment had already hurt the morale of the city, and the panic that had been curbed by the lie had spread again.

"What a deformed civilization...."

The chief shaman looked at the difference between the two sides in the water curtain and let out a puzzled sigh, and then he spoke again,

"Prepare to use spells, you can't let them attack anymore."

"Understood"

Now, under the leadership of the chief priests, the shamans began to communicate with the spirits of the ancestors, and used them as a bridge to begin to connect with the 'elemental power'.

This notion, which had been questioned by the Tooth Witch Doctor, seemed to have a richer use in the hands of the unscrupulous shaman, with large red clouds forming simultaneously in the southern sky outside the city as the priests danced.....

"Look at the head!"

I don't know who shouted, and the trolls looked up one after another, and even when they saw more than a dozen strange clouds, appearing in mid-air at the top of the battle array;

And the vast majority of them, at this time, are concentrated on the engineering equipment that is making a roaring sound.

"That's not a cloud.... It seems more like some kind of fire. ”

The seven witch doctors looked up, their faces full of surprise, but not much fear.

Moments later, the 'Red Cloud' was fully formed, pouring down like a waterfall in the gaze of the trolls, accompanied by cheers from the walls.

The trolls on the side of the machine, at this time, only had time to subconsciously retreat a few steps, and they were watered by the curtain of high-temperature flames.

Flames flowed like flowing water from the 'siege base' in all directions, rapidly expanding its coverage;

Until the 'red cloud' in the air completely dissolves and disappears, it has already created more than a dozen burning areas of about ten square meters on the position.

The main material of the siege vehicle is 'keel wood change), which has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and water erosion resistance, and also has a certain stiffness and toughness;

Although their total production is far less than that of steel and wood, it is only because the planting area of steel and wood is too large, and in fact, its unit production rate is much faster than that of steel and wood.

Because of these characteristics, 'Dragonbone Wood Change' has become the best material for front-line emergencies;

Whether it's building a camp or building machinery, the Witch Doctors can transform it in a short period of time without much effort and produce it quickly and in large quantities.

However, its weakness seems to have come to the fore at this time.....

'Keel Wood Change', which does not have too good fireproof attributes, has become a huge torch in the flowing fire;

When the flames were extinguished, only pieces of charred wood remained, and only the high-strength parts made of steel and wood were tenaciously preserved in the 'ruins'.

It was a great achievement, burning most of the tribe's catapults with a single blow, but the horned hoofs, who should have been cheering, gradually fell silent at this time, and soon fell into a deathly silence.

The hornhoofed warriors on the city wall looked ahead with horror in incredulity....

There, most of the flowing flames had dissipated, and the trolls who had been engulfed by the flames before seemed to be standing there unscathed, even bouncing around in celebration.

This 'unknown' shook the hearts of the brave hornhoe warriors.....

Doubts such as "can we really win" at this time touched their resolute hearts little by little.

On the altar, the shamans were also deeply shocked.

Although they had seen the trolls move freely in the flames burning on the fields, it was just a 'natural fire'...

In the minds of shamans, 'magic fire' and 'natural fire' are by no means the same thing, and the powerful 'fire elemental fire' can even melt metal, and there will never be a life race that can develop 'resistance' to it.

"It's definitely magic! Their casters must have wielded magical powers that we can't see! No creature can do that! When pigs fly! ”

While the shamans were arguing, or rather self-convincing, the chief shaman finally spoke.

He didn't make any point of view to convince the overwhelmed shamans, but calmly said,

"We succeeded in burning the siege equipment, but it also hurt the morale of the soldiers, and now it's time to fix it..... I'm going to use crowd inspiration to improve the state of the warriors, and you're here to help me..."
