Chapter 84, Breaking the First Line of Defense, Shocking Troops

"The Four-Alliance coalition is deployed on the eastern part of the city wall."

"The dragon bone golem is centered."

"The Primordial Blood Forest Giant is laid out on the west side."

"In the three areas, the number of legions in front of the meat shield is not less than three thousand."

"The main reason is that the terrain is narrow, and our large-scale forces are not easy to deploy."

"But in order to reserve space for subsequent replenishment of the legion."

"In the middle of the three corps, it is necessary to leave a passage for a quick retreat, replenishment."

"And behind the three besieging corps of meat shields, arrange the little fishmen respectively."

"We currently have as many as 300,000 little fishmen."

"Deploy 100,000 per region."

"The small fishmen are small in size and can be arranged in large numbers to form a dense firepower attack."

"Also, the little fish-man can be placed on the giant."

"When the giants ascend the city, attack from the giants' shoulders."

Inside the siege camp.

Christian quickly marked the layout of the attack's forces on the map.

And wait for her to say.

Vivien asked.

"What about the mage?"

"Our mage legion is not involved in the attack?"

Christian shook his head.

"Of course not."

"The mage legion is to be used to suppress the counterattack at the head of the city."

"The Flame Magus casts the Legion skill Fire Meteor, and its attack range is quite far."

"This time, the Lord has deployed 10,000 flame magicians, and I plan to use them to use fire meteors to suppress the counterattack at the head of the city."

"Divide the 10,000 flame mages into different batches and strike at the defenders at the head of the city in batches."

"And as long as the defenders at the head of the city are suppressed, the siege corps under the city walls will take the opportunity to enter the city."

"This will greatly reduce the number of casualties of our soldiers who are stopped outside the city walls."

"As for the wind mages, their attacks are relatively close."

"Participate in the attack, and it is easy to be counterattacked by the constructed archers on the city walls."

"So I won't participate in this battle for the time being, as a reserve legion, and wait for the general attack before launching an attack."

"And then there's the Flying Legion."

"Assis and Fiona."

"The number of Dragon Eagle Knights is small, and they can't be lost in siege warfare."

"I need you to cruise around and monitor the perimeter of the northern defenses."

"At the same time, look for an opportunity, break into the city, and kill the magic crystal cannon army hidden in the city."

"But remember, you'll need to wait until the Crystal Cannon Legion has no guards before you do it."

"If there is a Demon Crystal Spear Infantry Regiment and a Thorn Flower Demon Pattern Knight stationed next to them."

"At this time, it is easy to be ambushed and annihilated."

Fiona bowed slightly.

"Yes."

Then she looked at Assis.

"The griffin knight's main task in the early stage is to guard the griffons in the city to counterattack."

"Beware especially of them sending griffon knights to suddenly charge at our mage legions."

"When unleashing the Legion's spells, the Flame Magus cannot be interrupted."

"Once it's interrupted, it's going to be eaten by magic."

"So!"

"Yassi, you must place all the griffon knights on the flanks of the three siege legions."

"To cover them from being counterattacked by the air legions in the city."

"At the same time, once the army can rush to the top of the city."

"You're going to lead the griffon knights to keep up with the same pace."

"Interspersed with the depth of the northern defense line."

"Look for an opportunity to cut off the infantry supporting the walls."

"To cover our occupation of the walls."

Yasis nodded, then asked.

"Christian, if I can find the location of the Crystal Cannon Legion, is there an option for a tentative attack?"

"Scout for an ambush for Fiona's Dragon Eagle Knight."

"If not, then deal with the Magic Crystal Cannon Legion in one fell swoop."

"I think that in the next siege battle, the threat of the Magic Crystal Cannon Legion will be the greatest."

Christian nodded.

"Yes."

"But don't go on your own, just send the griffon knight to the test."

Yasis replied solemnly.

"Yes."

In the end, Christian set his sights on the hero next to him.

"Because of the breach of the shield, all of us except Lilith's forbidden spell has been restored."

"The strength of the rest has not fully recovered."

"Therefore, this siege is forbidden to go to the city without receiving my general attack order."

"Our lives come from Your Excellency, and if he didn't let us die, we must live."

The heroes present nodded their heads.

Then, Christian's gaze swept over everyone.

"Now that the combat mission is clear."

"Vivien, you're the front-line commander of the siege."

"Herald."

"The siege begins !!"

"Yes!"

Outside the Northern Border Line.

With Christian's order given.

The siege corps, which had long been unable to hold back, began to slowly advance towards the walls of the northern defense line.

At this time.

The defenders of the city looked at the legions that were advancing towards them under the walls.

All of them had a solemn look on their faces.

"Prepare to fight back!"

"Construct an archer."

"Armor-piercing arrows."

"Ten shots."

"Goal."

"Giant!"

"Ready."

on the city walls.

When the defenders saw the ground, the giant roared.

When it instantly became more than twenty meters high.

Immediately the commander began to give orders.

And when the giant is about to go to the range of the attack.

Suddenly.

In the sky, a pungent smell of burning came from the sky.

The guards at the head of the city looked sideways.

Then I was immediately horrified to find out.

Above the sky.

Meteors rained down on them.

"It's magic."

"Dodge!"

"The whole army enters the cave and dodges the magic attack."

On the walls of the northern defense line, there are caves dedicated to hiding from magic.

But the archers on the walls of the city were all wearing heavy armor.

This thing requires a dozen attendants when you put it on, and it is the same when you take it off.

At this time.

How could it be possible to take off so quickly and hide in the treasure cave.

Looking at the falling magic, these archers had no choice but to rely on themselves to dodge.

But this time, they were faced with a meteor unleashed by the Flame Magister.

Instead of ordinary bows and arrows and magic.

In addition to being larger, Fire Meteors also have higher magic damage.

What's even more terrifying is the splash damage.

Dense fire meteors lock the city walls.

"Boom" smashed.

Sparks flew on the ground.

These archers in their constructs are even more convenient in terms of movement.

But under such a dense attack.

All dodging was in vain.

Many of the Constructed archers, dodging the first, were quickly killed by the second.

Dodged the second one.

Ignited by a splash of magical energy.

Even these were lucky to be avoided.

The fire meteor fell, creating a field of fire on the city walls.

These constructs archers are under the barbecue of the Fire Domain.

Desperate to die of dehydration.

A moment later.

In the northern defense line, not a single archer on the entire section of the wall survived.

And take advantage of this opportunity.

The three forwards attacking the city under the city wall had already approached the city wall.

Three siege legions, each attacking in a different way.

The Primordial Blood Forest Giant made his body bigger, and then quickly climbed the city wall in the posture of stacking Arhats.

At the same time, on the shoulders of giants, stood the fish-man holding the bone blade.

They climbed the walls the fastest.

A moment later, it had already crossed the top of the wall and appeared inside the city wall.

Because the defenders were either killed in battle or cowered in the treasure cave under the magic blow just now.

So much so that there was no counterattack at all.

And in the other two siege corps.

The Dragonbone Golem cannot be climbed.

The little fishman here did not take on the task of going to the city, but came to the city wall, and used the bone blade in his hand to launch water waves to attack the defenders who were still standing on the city wall.

Finally, there is the Quadruple Alliance.

They were engaged in battle, knowing that they were going to besiege the city.

Therefore, in the corps brought this time, special siege troops were specially arranged.

These legions carried a large number of ladders to climb.

Some ladders are also mechanical pulleys, magically driven.

Some of these were obtained from the Misty World, and some were made by the pros of Blue Star.

At the same time, there are catapults, ballistas and other equipment that can attack the head of the city.

Most of them are developed and produced by Bluestar's professionals.

These devices are relatively primitive.

It is better to use airships, specialized siege machines.

But those things are expensive and cumbersome to use.

The most important thing is that there is nowhere to buy.

Goblin airships, the number of finished products is small, and most of them are still hidden for research.

There is only one siege machine.

Therefore, when the Blue Star Lord attacked the city, he used relatively primitive tactics.

It is also used in the ancient history of Blue Star, a variety of magic products.

But the thing, although primitive, works well.

Especially after the defenders on the city walls were suppressed by magic.

The Quad Alliance directly put the magic-powered ladder up to the wall.

The soldiers besieging the city were like taking an elevator.

Then he climbed the city wall at high speed.

But just when they were transporting the third batch.

The counterattack of the defenders within the walls began.

The assembled infantry that came out of the treasure cave, holding thick spears, formed a phalanx and began to counterattack.

At this time, the number of legions in the upper city was not large.

In the face of a spear of several tens of meters, the siege infantry of the four alliances could not parry it at all.

The spear that was directly driven by the machine was stabbed to death in three or two strokes.

The infantry in the upper city was quickly cleared.

But on the other side.

The Primordial Blood Forest Giants in Uptown are not so easy to deal with.

In size, they have an advantage over the Constructed Infantry.

In addition, the skin is thick and the flesh is thick, and there are many small fishmen on his shoulders.

When these constructed infantry came with spears.

He had just stabbed it twice, but he was blocked by a hard shield.

Immediately after that, the fish-man on his shoulder unleashes a poisonous wave attack.

Under the attack of dense poisonous water waves.

The counterattack of the constructed infantry encountered great difficulties.

Not only did he fail to kill the enemy, but he also suffered huge casualties.

At this time, the defenders of the city walls were ready to be replaced.

The constructed infantry can't do it, and they're ready to exchange the two-handed demonic pattern great swordsman.

But just when these demonic swordsmen were ready to help.

On the side of the Great Army.

Assius, who was tugging and fighting the griffin knights inside the city walls, pointed sharply at the ground.

"Wind Thunder Sword Guard."

"Take three hundred griffin knights and stop them."

The Wind Thunder Sword Guard, who received the order, quickly left the queue.

Descend to the city walls.

In the way of the demonic swordsman.

All of a sudden, the road was cut off.

The Warven Swordsman was furious and engaged in a scuffle with the griffin knights.

But this order of Assis made the defenders on the city wall unlucky.

The constructed infantry that had lost their support was soon surrounded by the Primordial Blood Forest Giants who had landed in the city one after another.

Under the city wall, there is even Hogg with the original blood forest giant, constantly throwing the little fishman onto the city wall.

The little fishmen were thrown into the Constructed Infantry formation.

Although most of them fell to their deaths.

But there is still a part of it that goes into the construct with precision.

The infantry inside was stabbed to death by the bone blade of the little fishman before they had time to react.

It didn't take long.

The defenders on the western wall were actually killed.

After there are no defenders.

The number of small fish-men who climbed the city walls is increasing.

It soon reached tens of thousands.

They even began to jump off the walls and attack the gates, as well as the depth of the walls.

But at this time, the defenders who were supposed to fight to retake the walls were supposed to recapture.

Suddenly retreat backwards.

A vacuum appeared near the city walls in an instant.

Immediately afterward, a place in the city lit up with a little light.

Several magic crystal cannons fired at this section of the city wall and the future of the state.

The Primordial Blood Forest Giants, Griffin Knights, and Little Fishmen who climbed the city wall didn't even have time to react before they were blown into a pile of meat sauce by the Magic Crystal Cannon.

This scene was seen by Vivien, who was under the city walls.

She said to Christian, who was watching the game next to her.

"It's not troublesome to attack the city, but the trouble is how to solve the threat of the magic crystal cannon."

"Their threat is too great."

"Our soldiers who landed in the city can't stop the power of the magic crystal cannon at all."

"If you go up, you'll be blown up."

Christian nodded slightly.

Then he said.

"That's why we need to keep attacking."

"Know where their magic crystal cannon is."

"The firing of the magic crystal cannon can't be sustained, either."

"This time we killed the siege legion, then these magic crystal cannons will have to wait to be charged, and the next attack will need another magic crystal cannon."

"As long as our soldiers can attack the wall faster than the magic crystal cannon can recover, we can take the wall."

"Again."

"As long as you can keep firing the magic crystal cannon in the city."

"Then where they are will be exposed."

"At that time, you only need to use the Dragon Eagle Knight to make a surprise attack to destroy all these magic crystal cannons, and this northern defense line will be taken down in an instant."

"So, Vivien don't be afraid of the dead."

"There is no immortality in war."

"A soft-hearted general will only bring more casualties."

"Herald!"

"Continue the siege."

"Yes."

With Christian's order given again.

The defenders, who had just driven the enemy off the wall, found that another enemy had rushed to the wall.

This time.

They learn from their previous experience.

Begin to resist the attack of the fire meteor in the head.

The constructed infantry first landed on the city wall and fought a counterattack against the climbing soldiers.

Wait until the fire meteor is finished.

The constructed archers had just begun to ascend the city, and huge arrows rained down.

Shot the soldiers who landed in the city into hedgehogs.

However, the fish-men's counterattack also took a toll on them.

The two sides began to fight over the city walls, repeatedly.

After the high-intensity siege lasted more than three hours.

Under the city walls, there are already corpses.

All of the Proto-Blood Forest giants have been depleted.

The Quadruple Alliance has already lost 2/3 of its dead.

The dragon bone golem was all smashed into pieces.

But.

Only the number of small fish-people has not decreased.

Instead, it skyrocketed to as much as 500,000.

Under the city walls.

Dense with small fish-men, climbing the city wall, rushing towards the wall.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the fish-men who made a strange "quack" call.

The defenders felt a tingling in their scalps.

And the key thing is that the defenders on the city wall have also lost more than 2/3.

The Constructed Infantry has been wiped out.

The current counterattack is all based on the Demon Pattern two-handed greatsword infantry, the wandering mage.

And the number of constructed archers is already less than three hundred.

They can't organize an effective rain of arrows to fight back against these little fishmen.

The fall of the first wall is already a fait accompli.

Even if you use the magic crystal cannon to fight back, you can't change this fact.

Ultimately.

The commander of the Northern Border Defense Line ordered.

Abandon the first line of defense.

The defenders of the first line of defense, retreat to the second.
