Chapter 204: Defending the City
Eighty arcane hunters walked up to the city walls and set up their guns steadily. Their eyes flashed red, and they were carefully aiming at their target. Behind the arcane hunters were two rows of archers with bows and arrows, ready to launch projectile support. The soldiers of the Dragon Nation had no chance, and in fact they were.
A group of soldiers with round shields and wearing only hard leather armor approached the castle. They didn't even spread out their formation, they attacked directly. The shouts of killing are uneven, and the formation is not neat enough, this team is obviously not elite. Curt looked down at the enemy in some confusion, completely confused as to what was going on.
The silent volley of the arcane hunter unleashed a large field of blood among the enemy. Then they silently moved the barrels and pulled the trigger again. The soldiers of the Dragon Nation tried to protect the vital points with their shields, but to no avail. Finally crossing the mountain path and reaching the castle, they began to move laterally, by which time the arcane hunter had already made seven volleys.
From the vacated mountain pass, a small group of heavily armored cavalry rushed over. Curt scratched his head in confusion, less and less understanding the other party's thoughts. The arcane hunters changed their magazines in a uniform motion, and once again aimed at the onrushing cavalry. Those cavalry were the real elite, because the leading knight just raised his spear, and his body burst with pure white light.
"Paladin. ”
Ke Ting nodded, as if he had realized. Nearly half of the soldiers who had been killed and wounded had already squatted down in the front row, formed a protective formation with shields, and took out their crossbows and crossbows in the back row and fired arrows at the city walls. The arcane hunter's protection is far inferior to the sacrificial sword, and must be avoided. In the current situation, Curt does not intend to sacrifice any of the Arcane Hunters.
The rain of bullets fired at the heavily armed knights thinned out, and only a dozen knights fell off their horses. The entire cavalry team is added to the fastest. Simply rushed to the city walls.
"Oh?"
Curt finally felt a little shocked. He saw the whole cavalry slammed into the walls in a solid manner. The wailing of the horses. The whole tower shook. It seems that the knights' weapons are something special, and maybe something else. You can even see cracks in the thick walls of the castle from the inside of the castle. This meant that the knights smashed the walls at least two or three meters thick, perhaps deeper.
Curt frowned, and began to feel that things were not simple. Red Rock is the bridgehead of British, and Britannia is not far from the Land of the Dragon. Perhaps in the past few days, they have already decided to deal with something.
Of course, the arcane hunters are still shooting. They're a good deal. Almost all the warriors who shot arrows at the city walls were killed. Another group of knights rushed from the mountain path, believing that if the same attack came two or three times, the walls of Red Rock City would be dead.
It seems that using human lives as a containment at any cost, and then using heavy cavalry with inexplicably strong destructive power to attack, this is the tactic of the Dragon Nation. They don't use the city gate as a breach, because there is a cage city behind the city gate, and there must be the main force of the defenders.
Unfortunately, the Arcane Hunters were far more lethal than usual, and they killed the warriors who were shooting arrows at the walls before the second group of cavalry approached. Eighty guns immediately turned to the mountain road. Prepare for the next round of slaughter.
A vague black shadow swept through the air, more than one. Curt's body flashed with a series of magical brilliance. His face sank completely. Leaping into the air was a half-dragon monster, and many more were climbing up the walls. It seems that the knights who crashed into the walls earlier are more difficult to deal with than expected, and the knights are just their disguise.
In front of Curt, the scaly, human-like monster with a dragon's head and claws screamed. Ten arcane hunters fired bullets at it, but the half-drake simply raised his hand to cover his face and blocked all the bullets. It was rightfully wounded, covered in blood. However, the half-dragon man's injuries are not severe, and its ** is so strong that it is hard to resist bullets and not be hit hard.
What kind of role such a group of half-dragons would have on the battlefield, it is not difficult for Curt to imagine. Even compared to the Sword of Sacrifice, it's not much worse. Even if the half-dragons don't wear armor, ordinary weapons and arrows can't threaten them.
It is very difficult to give orders at the moment of mutation, but fortunately, the arcane hunter knows how to advance and retreat, and automatically starts shooting while retreating. Before the first half-dragon was smashed by countless bullets, more than a dozen half-dragons climbed the city wall. At the same time, the second cavalry team crashed into the city wall, making an earth-shattering sound.
Curt hurriedly danced his hands and cast a barrage of spells. He was not familiar with the Half-Dragons, only that different kinds of Half-Dragons had different elemental resistances. What is common is that all Half-Dragons have a small amount of spell resistance. With a bit of luck, they can nullify spells cast by low-level mages.
So Curt opted for a rather conservative spell combination, first Greasy, then Ice Storm, and finally Hurricane. Curt wanted to trap the half-dragons with slippery ground, freeze them into ice lumps with low temperatures, and finally blow them all down the walls with a gust of wind.
But the half-dragons simply stretched out their claws, embedded them in the ground, and then crossed their arms to protect their faces, and dissolved Curt's chain of spells. They were frozen and crumbling by the storm. In the end, however, only one half-dragon was defeated by the arcane hunter who took advantage of the opportunity to open fire.
Curt's face turned a little ugly, and he knew that a new group of cavalry must be charging along the mountain road. As the one who stood in a slightly higher position and was in charge of the overall situation, Curt was able to see more half-dragons climbing the city walls, further forcing back the arcane hunters. The soldiers of Alteran rallied and prepared to meet them with spears and swords and shields, but most of them were of little avail.
For a moment, Curt knew he couldn't hold it anymore. Lan Kate and the other main forces were not in Red Rock City, and everyone felt that this attack was enough to withstand with eighty arcane hunters and forty sacrificial swords. Curt summoned with psychic powers, and asked Frost Giant Bloom and Minotaur Bredo to carry twenty sacrificial swords to the wall. Then he stretched out the staff that Purple Resentment had turned into and aimed at the half-dragon man who had climbed the city wall.
The only thing to be thankful for was that the cavalry all charged towards the same point of the city wall, so the position of climbing up was about the same. Curt used his force field to suppress the half-dragons, and then he condensed his spiritual power and used the maximum output to shoot a blast wave of spiritual energy.
Suddenly, the entire wall was shattered by psionic power. The psionic blast swept through at an angle, cutting the ground beneath the half-drake's feet into a forty-five-degree slope.
In the strong shock, the half-dragons rolled down the newly appeared slope. Most of them adjusted their stance in time, grabbed the ground, and stopped castration. At this point, Curt quickly cast a spell, creating a massive wall of ice at the top of the slope. Then he activated his psychic powers, pushing the ice wall down the slope.
Like a game of pool, the giant wall of ice carried terrifying potential energy and knocked all the half-dragons on the slope down in one fell swoop. This is Curt's method of adapting to local conditions, so that the spell is unexpectedly effective. He exhaled, then raised his hand to the edge of the slope and cast a fossil to mud spell. Part of the stony slope then turned into soft gravel, leaving half-dragons who wanted to climb up nowhere to start.
Curt wiped his sweat, and in just a few minutes, nearly half of his spell had been consumed. On the mountain road in the distance, a small team carrying a large flag approached. Curt turned and walked briskly to the lookout. He weighed it for a moment, then swapped into the Staff of Gathering Energy and began reciting the arcane-focused incantation.
By this time, Frost Giant Bloom and Minotaur Bredo had already caught up with the walls with twenty sacrificial swords. They possess terrifying powers, use heavy weapons, and are naturally the nemesis of half-dragons. Coupled with the condescending geographical advantage, it immediately gained the upper hand.
Curt watched as a sacrificial sword raised his two-handed sword and slashed it violently, cutting off one of the half-dragons' hands, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that compared with the real dragon knight Wisconstin, the half-dragon man is not half a star worse. Of course, compared to ordinary soldiers, the half-dragon people are still incredibly strong. Once they have gained a foothold, they are able to remove the steel spears they carry and fight them with the Sword of Sacrifice. If you are an ordinary warrior, I am afraid that you will only be slaughtered by the sacrificial sword.
"Then, I'll take these elites. More people, you better keep it for yourselves. ”
After confirming that the shape on the city wall was down, the arcane hunter dispersed around and shot under the city wall, Curt took a deep breath and provoked arcane focus. The thick pillar of magical light immediately broke through the air and hit the very center of the mountain path.
Arcane Focus is a spell that is out of common sense, and its power can even be compared to the legendary pinnacle spell. In the earth-shattering roar, the earth trembled faintly, and the rain of rubble sprayed out in a radial shape was forty meters high and more than a hundred meters away, bringing up smoke and dust that obscured the clouds and the sun.
The army of the Dragon Nation was visibly frightened, and the two phalanxes near the mountain path were in disarray. A large number of stones fell on the heads of the soldiers, causing more or less damage. The most severe is that the mountain road was hit hard, and there was a collapse of more than 10 meters long. When the smoke and dust cleared a little, the army under the city walls was completely separated from the main formation.
The time gained should be enough.
Curt nodded slightly, relaxing a little. At his command, the gates of the city burst open, and the remaining twenty sacrificial swords rushed out of the city, strangling the few enemies. At the same time, Curt pulls out a crystal, activates the spell within, and contacts Lankate. Ten minutes later, Rankat teleported with a large number of Facelesss. A large teleportation circle was quickly forged, and two hundred Otlan soldiers were urgently summoned.
"You're in good luck. ”
Prince Wren, who had come to join in the fun, craned his neck and looked down at the city wall. He pointed to a flag and said with a little excitement:
"That's the royal banner of the Dragon Realm, and we can take out a royal family. (To be continued......)
ps: I happily gave myself a National Day holiday, and it feels very good to sleep for 18 hours......
