Chapter 276
"This is Star Wolf Mountain?" Hoffman looked at the stone mountain in front of him, the top of the mountain was blocked by the light shield of the magic array, and he couldn't see the scene inside, but as long as he had a little vision, he could see that the power of the magic array was not simple.
At this time, he led more than 16,000 men from five legions. As the saying goes, "There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no shore". What's more, there are ten special-eyed monitor lizards with a body length of more than fifteen meters in the team, as well as a hundred magic cannons the size of horse-drawn carriages, which is even more powerful and terrifying.
When the team approached two miles down the mountain, dozens of pillars of light suddenly shot out from the magic array at the top of the mountain, and the power was very powerful.
Seeing that it was about to hit the team, the ten special-eyed monitor lizards suddenly released yellow light waves, rippling like vibrating water ripples, and took all the pillars of light.
The special eye monitor lizard is an 8th-order earth-based magical beast with gray-yellow eyes protruding and hemispherical shape, which can rotate 180 degrees in different directions at the same time, and their defense is very strong, so it is best used as a meat shield on the battlefield.
Hoffman had long been wary of attacks on the mountain, so he could defend in such a timely manner - even if he looked down on the shallow-rooted country of the Nia Kingdom, he would not forget that the other party had a 9th-order enchanter, so how could the magic array on the mountain be simple?
"It turned out to be a 9th-order attack magic array, pass the order, and the artillery array!"
After some defense, Hoffman halted his ranks and ordered the wagon-sized magic cannons to line up.
The Hundred Magic Cannons are a long-range attack magic weapon that is a specialty of Tibarabi, and has earned the name "Bullnose Cannon" because of its two side-by-side barrels. The power of its single attack has reached the 7th order, and if a hundred cannons are fired together, the power is even more terrifying, even if it is a defensive 9th order magic array, it can't withstand several waves of such attacks!
The bullnose cannon is made of all-metal, and one of them weighs two or three tons, but because the base is enchanted with an anti-gravity magic array, which cancels out most of the weight, it is exceptionally light and dexterous when moving.
After Hoffman's order to line up was given, the entire army formation suddenly changed, and almost in a few seconds, an artillery battle array appeared. From this point, it can be seen that Hoffman's leadership level is still very good.
After the battle array was formed, hundreds of artillery pieces rang out in unison, a group of thunder shocked the sky, and one after another flames flew out of the cannon chamber, shooting like meteors towards the magic array on the top of the mountain.
A pillar of light flew out of the magic array and swept away, knocking down part of the firelight, but the soldiers who operated the artillery shot very well, covering a wide area, and the pillar of light obviously could not completely resist all attacks, so after a round of shelling, more than half of the fire hit the shield of the magic array, exploding a cluster of red fireworks, and the entire magic array was trembling.
At this moment, a huge cyan wind sickle nearly twenty meters long suddenly flew out of the magic array, and together with many pillars of light, slashed fiercely towards the military array below the mountain.
The special eye monitor lizard was okay to resist the light pillar attack, but that wind sickle attack was not only a 9th order power, but also obviously far superior to ordinary 9th order magic. So with a single slash, it immediately broke through the defense of a special-eyed monitor lizard, and after slashing over its back, it hit two bullnose cannons behind it.
The monitor lizard fell to the ground with a scream, and a wound several meters long and deep to the bone appeared on its back, and blood poured down like a small waterfall, apparently losing its strength.
The two bull-nosed cannons behind the monitor lizard were not only immediately scrapped after being killed, but also exploded after the wind sickle collided with the artillery, and the power spread to a radius of more than 50 meters, killing more than a dozen people and nearly 100 people being injured by different degrees.
Hoffman's face suddenly turned ugly, before Tibarabi's army took Mud Pond Fort and Green Peak City, the number of casualties was only in single digits, and he had just started the battle here, but the number of casualties had already exceeded!
The arrogant Hoffman didn't care that Mud Pond Fort didn't resist at all, and the resistance of Green Peak City was also very irresolute, he just felt that he had been slapped in the face, so he ordered the artillery battle array to attack in turn, not stopping for a moment, and be sure to break through the magic array on the top of the mountain in the shortest possible time.
Of course, Hoffman is not completely presumptuous, and he also knows very well that the importance of Star Wolf Mountain is simply incomparable to the previous two places. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, it is natural to solve them quickly.
The bullnose cannon fired three waves in a row, during which the cyan wind scythe appeared twice, although the power was still very strong, but because Hoffman was on guard, in addition to the defense of the remaining 9 special eye monitor lizards, he also let the magician use the defense scroll, so the two cyan wind scythes did not cause much damage. It's just that the high-level scrolls consumed for this make Hoffman feel a little distressed.
Fortunately, after three rounds of artillery attacks, the magic array finally shattered, revealing the scene inside, only to see hundreds of stone houses on the top of Star Wolf Mountain, and in the center of the stone house, there was a magic tower more than thirty meters high. Although its height is much shorter than that of ordinary magic towers, judging from the power of the wind scythe released, this is definitely a 9th-order magic tower!
"Colburn, kill the manipulator on the magic tower!" "The moment the magic tower was revealed, Hoffman was overjoyed to see the hunt, and ordered a magic archer wearing a gray-white soft armor power suit behind him.
The magic bow, called Colburn, was armed with a hard bow with a silver metal body and several red gems on its body. At the moment he heard the words, he bent his bow and set up a dark blue iron arrow, and with a flick of the bowstring, the iron arrow disappeared from its place, and the next moment it appeared on the top of the mountain.
The little protection left of the magic array was like nothing in front of this arrow, and it pierced through it in an instant, and then it burrowed into the window at the top of the magic tower at the top of the mountaintop.
The magic tower is located at the top of the mountain, more than 2,000 meters away from Colburn in a straight line, and the window is only a foot square, but Colburn shoots the arrow into it very accurately, and the height of the archery can be seen!
What's even more strange is that the people inside can't be seen from that window, but after Colburn's arrow went in, the light that was condensing the attack on the magic tower suddenly went out.
Hoffman smiled, when directing the artillery battle array bombardment, he must keep the magic tower and not destroy it - such a powerful magic tower must not be cheap, if it can be captured, it can be worth the casualties just now.
From a distance, there were many soldiers who were in a hurry to dodge on Star Wolf Mountain, and under the bombardment of artillery, they fell into the rocks one after another. Some of those who hid in the stone hut and continued to attack were quickly blown down. It was only ten minutes of effort, and there was no force on the top of the mountain that could form an effective attack.
Hoffman then ordered a vanguard of 1,000 men to reach the summit and sweep away the remnants of the enemy as quickly as possible to seize the magic tower.
What Hoffman didn't know was that at this time, in the belly of Star Wolf Mountain, in a hollowed-out secret room, one by one the soldiers who were originally stationed on Star Wolf Mountain slipped down from the smooth passage, and then under the command of the officer, quickly left from another passage - the soldiers who were originally stationed on the top of Star Wolf Mountain actually arrived here, and none of them died!
The corpses that Hoffman saw were actually made of the flesh of the Gollum cow with Transfiguration, and the blurred appearance of the flesh and blood after being blown up was quite deceiving, and the stone houses that were blown down actually had two floors inside, the lower one was very low and not easy to be blown up, and the artillery only collapsed the outer layer, it seemed that the stone house had been completely shattered, and the people inside had been crushed to death, but in fact, the people hiding in the lower layers were all right!
At this moment, Moller and Rex were in a hidden cave twenty miles away from Star Wolf Mountain, observing the situation on the battlefield through a lord's magic mirror. When he saw Hoffman sending troops up the mountain, as if to seize the magic tower, Moeller couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect the result to be better than expected!"
"They're going to be out of luck!" Rex smiled, almost waiting for a big fight.
The 1,000 vanguard army sent by Hoffman were all elite warriors, the lowest in strength, and also had the combat power equivalent to that of low-level demon warriors, and it took less than a minute to climb the Star Wolf Mountain, which was only six or seven hundred meters high.
However, the moment they reached the top, the magic tower standing on the top of the mountain suddenly burst into flames.
"Damn!" At first, Hoffman was disappointed that the remaining defenders had destroyed the tower, but then his face changed dramatically and he realized that something was wrong.
In the blink of an eye, the magic tower burst into flames, like a huge bonfire, but then it swelled into a large oval-shaped ball, which seemed to dissolve, and then exploded completely.
The exploding magic tower did not fly into the sky, but rushed to the lower places around it like a ball of broken magma. The stone houses surrounding it were covered in the "lava" and exploded. With the continuous explosion, these "magma" turned into a black smoke filled with high-temperature flames, scorching lime, and burning stones, and the smoke was so heavy that it did not fly into the sky at all, but instead sloped down from the top of the mountain like a torrent.
The 1,000 vanguard troops who bore the brunt of the attack were swallowed up by the smoke before they had time to resist, and some of the sergeants rushed from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain in a hurry. But the smoke poured faster than a galloping horse, and the explosion continued to shoot out burning rubble, and only a few people could actually escape from the mountain alive.
However, these people still couldn't survive, because the mass of the smoke itself was extremely heavy, thinking that the magic tower weighed thousands of tons, plus the hundreds of stone houses that exploded later, each of which was nearly a hundred tons, so the whole cloud of smoke weighed tens of thousands of tons, and these tens of thousands of tons of heavy objects fell from a height of six or seven hundred meters, and its impact was already equivalent to the power of a 10th-order magic!
Several people who fled down the mountain were killed by the powerful shock wave the moment the entire cloud of smoke hit the bottom of the mountain. Then the whole cloud of smoke exploded, forming a layer of black thick gas waves twenty or thirty meters high, which rolled and spread in all directions like a tsunami, and the speed was several times faster than when it poured down before!
"It's a lava flow!"
Rex, who saw this scene in the Magic Mirror of Lord Tongguò, was also surprised, as a top-level magical beast that lived on the volcano, the red dragon could be said to know more about the volcano than any other creature. This lava debris flow is a disaster that occurs when a volcano erupts, only in rare cases due to the coincidence of the density of volcanic ash and rock, and its power is so powerful that even the dragons dare not be swept into it when they see it, and they want to fly up and dodge. I didn't expect Brother Moeller to artificially create it.
Moeller smiled proudly, the magic tower was not real at all, the previous few wind scythe attacks were just activated by the 9th-order scroll, in fact, it was a huge explosive device. When Moeller designed it before, he didn't expect Hoffman to be happy when he saw Hunter, and he would keep the magic tower and not attack, but instead send people to snatch it, so that the results were much better than expected.
He said to Rex: "Explosives are also a science, and if you use them well, you will naturally be able to blow up the desired effect." However, after all, it is much smaller than the real lava debris flow, otherwise I am afraid that this enemy army will be completely annihilated. ”
