Chapter Seventy-Five: Death and Resurrection
More than ten seconds later, there was another loud bang, and the second siege vehicle was in place, slamming into the side of the city wall more than ten meters away, and another shout and killing sound sounded.
It wasn't long before the third and fourth siege engines were connected to the walls a short distance to the left and right, respectively, and more gnolls followed the siege engines to the walls.
Long Fa came to one of the siege vehicles, opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of dragon breath, which quickly spread and turned the siege vehicles into a sea of fire at the level of the city wall, and the gnolls crowded on this layer immediately turned into humanoid fire and let out a terrible scream.
Although the siege vehicle is wooden, the structure is very thick, and the wood is not easy to catch fire after treatment, and the power of the second-order dragon breath is not strong enough, and the siege vehicle is not burned.
But he was standing in front of this one siege engine, and after a while the gnolls came up from below, and when they were almost gathered, a mouthful of dragon's breath spewed out.
At the entrance of the other two siege vehicles, each with five Mo sword soldiers guarding the door, the jackals rushed out of one and cut one, two to cut two, and five to cut five.
The strength of the elite Mo sword soldiers is quite ferocious, even the elite of the third-order gnolls can't block a sword.
In addition, there are a large number of soldiers waiting for the replacement knife behind the Mo Dao soldiers, even if they rush to ten people at a time, they can't hold on to three seconds of death.
The last siege vehicle platform was led by ten hoplites, dozens of third-order elite infantry resisted head-on, their defense was strong, their shields were carefully synthesized by Li Qing, and their weapons were made of high-carbon steel, which was very sharp.
In addition, Li Qing's talent can increase the physique, strength, speed, resistance, immunity, hypnosis, and fear of his subordinates by 30%.
and a 12% damage reduction from Strategic Celestial Empowerment.
Multiple superimpositions, attack, defense, and survivability are all full, making their comprehensive combat effectiveness very strong.
Four siege vehicles can rush out of thirty or forty people at a time, but they are blocked by the exit and cannot rush out.
Even the four ladders approached one by one, hooking the ladders to the city wall, and the four teams of jackals climbed along the ladders to the top of the city, unable to break through the strict defense of a group of big men.
But this did not last long, and as time went on, the enemy's mage regiment gradually approached the battlefield.
This group of mages came from the territory of the Great Lord Haranmu, and some of them were apprentices of Master Kending, all of them totaled more than twenty, and the level was between the second and fifth orders, and there was only one of the fifth order.
All mages above the third order cast a levitation spell and flew to a height of 100 meters above the city wall to start casting.
Four fireballs flew up the city wall and exploded at the head of the city, flooding half of the fan-shaped area at the head of the city, and more than a dozen Imperial infantry within the city head were killed on the spot.
Then two ice storms flew out, and powerful magical hailstones fell over a large area of the walls of the two siege vehicles, and the soldiers in them were quickly frozen, and the fourteen soldiers who failed to escape in time died on the spot.
At the same time, a large black dead cloud appeared on the city wall at the other siege vehicle, covering the entire city wall for more than 20 meters, and even the jackals in the siege vehicle were affected.
However, when the Death Cloud Technique was cast, Li Qing happened to cast the magic shield.
As a result, the human side was not affected in any way, but the death cloud spread, and many gnolls on the siege vehicles died.
But even if there is no magic Aegis, the human side will be fine, his strategic talent is not vegetarian, and he has an overall increase of 30% of his physique and 30% resistance, plus strategic attribute damage reduction, spells like Death Cloud that have a large killing range, but the average damage is not high, can almost be directly exempted.
"Marksman prepare, Fire One Mage!"
Ten fourth-order marksmen were gathered by Li Qing and aimed at the target at the same time.
At the same time, Li Qing also stretched out his hand and snorted:
"Dismantle!"
With the addition of divinity, Li Qing's spells were all increased by 100% in terms of power and effect, and the protective arrows on the mage and the levitation technique were directly lifted, and the ten arrows were fired in a volley, only two arrows were hit, but the snake man mage fell from more than 100 meters in the air and died on the spot.
"Huh!"
This was a bit unexpected by Li Qing.
To be honest, it was the first time he had fought with other mages, and he didn't expect his spells to be so powerful, and he could disarm the second spell at the same time after disarming the protective arrows.
If you had known this, you wouldn't have asked your subordinates to cooperate.
But it wasn't too late to know, and he reached out again and pointed at the second target.
The second snake mage is a fourth-order mage, and he reacted when the first snake man mage was hit, and as soon as Li Qinggang cast a spell, he immediately cast a spell counteract to cancel the magic offset.
Li Qing did not hesitate to cast the dismantling magic again, and with the support of the super magic technique spell instantly, the casting speed was very fast, the snake man mage was one level higher than him but much slower, and he could only watch the spell effect on his body disappear, and then fell from a height of hundreds of meters.
Falling from a height of hundreds of meters without a defensive spell, even if it is full of water underneath, you will die.
Two mages were killed in an instant, and the other mages became alert, and they all gave up bombarding the city wall, and united and decided to kill Li Qing first.
The most powerful five-ring snake man mage among the mages waved his staff in his hand, and a shot of the five-ring malicious transformation technique fell.
The effect of this spell is to forcibly turn a weak target into a small action.
Li Qing only felt that his gaze changed rapidly, everything became huge, and the figures of his subordinates not far away instantly looked like giants.
But it only lasted for two seconds, and the divine creature's super tenacity and resistance took effect, and his vision instantly returned to normal.
But in just two seconds, four fireballs and a beam of lightning bombarded down, and at the same time, a series of negative effects such as human immobilization, aging, weakness, blindness, exhaustion, fatigue, and so on fell on him.
"!"
Li Qing reluctantly performed a flashing technique and disappeared in place, appeared more than ten meters away to avoid this round of bombardment, and then quickly jumped back and jumped directly off the ten-meter city wall.
Can't fight, there are too many mages.
If there is only one, even if it is a five-ring mage, he can leapfrog the challenge with his divine talent and a bunch of super magic skills.
But one five-ring plus two four-rings plus a dozen three-ring mages besieged, he is just a three-ring mage, even if the spells he casts are definitely more powerful than them, but limited by rank, many spells will not, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and he can't beat them at all.
After he jumped into the wall, the mages were helpless.
If they wanted to continue to kill him, they had to rush to the top of the walls, which was in his territory, and hundreds of archers were waiting for them, and if they dared to come, they would die.
Protective arrows can defend against arrows, but this spell is not invincible, and it can block ten arrows but not a hundred.
After all the spell effects were over, Li Qing heard an explosion on the city wall again, and the mages were continuing to attack the defenders on the city wall with fireball spells or ice storms.
Li Qing quickly blessed himself with a series of spells, flying techniques, protective arrows, and energy damage.
He also cast a mirror spell to conjure up four identical phantoms, and controlled the illusions to fly up the city wall.
Li Qing thought silently in his heart, waiting for the phantom to appear for about five seconds, and the real body also flew up, and then saw several spells remove the magic effect on the phantom's body, and the lightning beam fireball bombarded it.
Li Qing immediately seized the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that a four-ringed snake man mage had just cast a spell to disarm the flying spell on his body, and volleyed a string of magic missiles to break it in two.
Another fireball was thrown under the city wall not far away, and a fireball with a strengthened divine nature exploded, and a large number of soldiers near the ladder were blown into charcoal.
After taking out a four-ring mage, he didn't hesitate to turn around and jump off the wall again.
Three mages died in a row, and the snake man mage group was not as arrogant as just now, and the distance from the city wall was widened, and they gathered together to discuss something.
Li Qing glanced at it secretly, thought for a little, and blessed himself with a series of buff spells, including acceleration technique, the tenacity of the bear, the strength of the bull, the elegance of the cat, the cunning of the fox, and a flying technique, and flew up and rushed towards them with a swagger.
At the same time, from an angle that they couldn't detect, many of the mentors watching the battle were quiet at this time, and they looked at the light curtain in front of them with flickering eyes, and then looked at Nie Yang with a solemn expression on the other side.
"It's a great fight!"
One of the mentors burst out laughing:
"This fight just now is very exciting, and no apprentice should be able to do it at this stage."
"However, he is not in a good situation right now."
Another mentor looked at Nie Yang and said:
"If there are no accidents, you student will definitely not be able to resist, do you need to use that permission?"
Nie Yang showed hesitation on his face, and his heart was a little moved.
This permission is for the tutor to apply for the academy to intervene, using the power of the War Mage Tower of the War College Blackstone Tower to intervene and forcibly rescue an apprentice from the crisis.
Each tutor has a different number of uses depending on their tutor level.
To use this permission, you need to deduct the tutor's points.
Each tutor who has cultivated a certain number of official war lords, or apprentices who have performed well in some college-wide actions, can earn a certain number of points for the mentor, and the status of the mentor depends on the points.
So, most of the time your apprentice is in danger, and theoretically the mentor can use points to help you out of danger.
But this is only theoretical, in practice ordinary apprentices with little future are in danger, and the instructor generally ignores them.
Of course, in most cases, when the apprentice goes out to explore and encounters danger, the instructor does not know, and he can't help if he wants to.
Only some very good apprentice mentors will always pay attention to the possibility of bailing out the apprentice when he is in danger.
So at this time, Nie Yang was hesitating whether to exercise this authority and pay a great price to save Li Qing.
In his opinion, Li Qing at this time could never be the enemy's opponent, the difference in strength was too great, even if he could resist now, it would only be for a while, and when the two war lizards finished eating and fighting, it was impossible for the ten-meter-high city wall to resist.
After all, the body size of the war lizard is twenty meters, and it is not a big problem to climb the ten-meter city wall.
Of course Li Qing knew this question, but the reason why he stayed to fight was not because he couldn't run.
How could he not run, before intercepting back and forth, the enemy had more than 20 mages, and an archmage had taken the back road, and it was impossible to escape.
But Li Qing is not willing to wait for death, he has thought of a strategy to break the situation when he was defending, and it is now being implemented.
The first step in the plan, of course, is to lure the snake master away first, and all the ideas of this guy are empty talk if he doesn't distract him.
The second step of the plan is to enter a state of full-scale engagement with the Serpent Legion, and this is also completed.
The third step of the plan is to try to kill and injure the enemy's mage group, but this is not completed, only three are killed, and the enemy is not even injured.
At this point, there is no time to wait any longer, whether the plan is completed or not.
Li Qing exhaled lightly, blessed himself with a series of spells again, and then let out a sharp long roar, and after a few minutes, a black eagle rushed over from the side of the battlefield golem puppet.
There was no way for the golems to intercept on this side, and they didn't even attack the city, but more than five hundred golems were guarding this side, and they couldn't escape from this side.
This thing is made up of dirt and rock, lined up in a line, and they will definitely not be able to break through for a while.
Once you fall into a heavy siege, you will soon be surrounded and killed by the snake people who come from the left and right.
Black Eagle entered, Li Qing added a series of acceleration and defense spells to Black Eagle in one breath, and then issued a series of orders to let the troops change their guards one by one and get ready, and then sat on the Black Eagle and rushed to the rear.
The snake man mage group on the other side was stunned for a moment when they saw this scene, and after three seconds of entanglement, they heard the order of the snake man lord ordering them to assist in the siege.
Without Li Qing to intercept it, the mage group can rest assured that it can fly in the air and aim below to release all kinds of spells to bombard indiscriminately.
The fireball technique was thrown on the city wall, and there were more than a dozen of them in one explosion.
Ice storms raged on the city walls, and ordinary soldiers couldn't stop them at all, and soon a large number of snake soldiers rushed from the siege engines to the city walls, forcibly squeezing out a space.
With the support of the mage group, more and more snake people and gnolls poured up, expanding the occupied part of the wall.
In just five or six minutes, the city wall that could not be climbed alive and dead just now was captured by the snake army in three sections, looking at this rhythm, it was not necessary for the war lizard to take down the city wall, this abnormal scene made the snake man nobles a little surprised.
However, the surprise only lasted for a few seconds, and suddenly the face of the snake female mage standing next to him changed, and she suddenly stretched out from the back building and looked up at the sky, her pink forked tongue stretched out, and her face showed a hint of horror:
"Oh no, I feel death coming!"
The Snake Man Lord didn't react for a moment and asked:
"What do you mean?"
"It's too late to explain, let's move the location first."
At this moment, a mage finally sensed something and looked up, and saw a black dot on the top of his head that he didn't know how high it was.
Before he could say anything, a larger black dot suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then quickly fell.
The stone rubbed violently against the air, and the surface of the stone quickly turned red, and soon flames enveloped the stone, falling like a meteorite.
Li Qing sat on the black eagle and stopped at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters above the ground, watching the meteorite fall, biting his lip with his teeth, the muscles on his face trembled, and he quickly changed his position and threw down the second, third, and fourth meteorites in different positions.
The only way to survive is to throw a meteorite, regardless of whether your men live or die, and completely lose both.
There's no way, you can't beat it at all, so you can only flip the table.
