Chapter 65: The Raided City Gate

"Be careful! it's a troll spear thrower above level 3!"

The captain of the magician team reacted no slower than Xu Yue at all, and he reminded loudly while also moving a piece of protective magic equipment on his body. I saw a spiral circle of light encircling his whole person, and the spear that flew over was blocked by these apertures, but the aperture also disintegrated into a point of light in an instant and disappeared.

The other mage was not so lucky, and before the young mage who looked to be in his early twenties could react, he was shot through the chest by a piercing spear. He looked at the spear stuck diagonally in his chest in disbelief, and then fell to the ground spitting blood.

The magician, who looked like a middle-aged, decadent uncle, crawled on the ground the moment the troll spear throwers struck, and the spears that flew by didn't hurt him at all.

Xu Yue's light shield finally blocked the flying spear, but the brightness of the light shield was reduced by seventy percent. He was so frightened that he no longer dared to hide behind the shield-bearers, but ran down to hide behind the thick battlements of the wall.

The other two followed his example and hid under the battlements. The mage who led the group spoke loudly, but the shouts and other noises of the surrounding battlefield made it difficult for the other two who were a little far away to hear clearly.

The captain crawled closer, and then shouted, "This will not work! The trolls will storm the walls from the side of us. Then we will all die on the ground. ”

Xu Yue thought for a moment and then replied loudly: "You shout in a while, let's probe and attack the remaining two pillars on the left side of the siege vehicle." You two attack the one in front, and I attack the one in the back. Simply breaking one side of the pillar can destroy the siege vehicle's platform. ”

The captain and the middle-aged mage looked at each other and nodded, both knowing that if they let the siege engines mount the walls, the place where they were hiding would become a place for the trolls to take the city, and no one would survive.

The captain looked at the spear flying from his head and thinner, then began with a loud roar and rushed out of the battlement, throwing the fireball spell out of his hand.

Xu Yue, a mage like Uncle Decadent, also leaned out of the battlements and cast a fireball spell.

The difference is that the captain and the same mage as the decadent uncle just threw out a fireball each, but Xu Yue cast a fireball spell with his left and right hands at the same time.

'Double Cast', which is a very useful but rare spellcasting technique. Only some mages with strange psychic powers or the ability to distract themselves from two spell models can condense two spell models at the same time to cast spells. Such mages can use different spells to cooperate with each other in battle, and the combat power is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Of course, Xu Yue is not a person with special mental power, and his ability to be distracted and used for two purposes is not at all related to him. The reason why he was able to condense two spell models at the same time was completely related to his ** magic affinity.

Originally, when he saw this technique recorded in the magic book, he read it completely as a legend. There are too few mages who can use 'double casting' in reality.

However, during the practice of fireball, he came up with this technique and tried it according to the book. What he didn't expect was that although he didn't have the ability to be distracted, the affinity of the magic element made him greatly reduce the attention he had to invest when building a spell model.

Even after he has built a spell model, he can maintain the stability of the spell model as long as he keeps a little attention to the spell model, and he can devote his energy to building a second spell model.

So in fact, Xu Yue's 'double casting' is not the same as those mages who can be distracted and can build two spell models at the same time, and his two spell models have a sequential time, but this does not affect the power of his magic with the two spell models.

The four fireballs hit the target almost simultaneously, and after a violent explosion and firelight, the platform of the siege vehicle completely collapsed.

"Mission accomplished! Evacuate!" the first-class magician who led the team immediately shouted when he saw the collapsed siege vehicle platform.

The three of them ran down the city wall almost in unison under the cover of some shield warriors around them.

The battlefield commander gave the mage the task of taking out the siege engines, and they had already completed the mission. Now the situation on the city wall is obviously not suitable for mages to stay, and at this time, even the most crazy commander will not ask the mage to stay on the city wall and die in vain.

When leaving the city wall, Xu Yue took the time to take a look. Five of the eight siege engines were destroyed, and only three of them had a plank of more than 20 meters on the wall when they got closer. A large number of trolls were frantically rushing up the walls along the passage made by the siege engines.

There were already quite a few mages under the city walls at this time. Some of the injured mages are being treated by priests. They threw magic on the wounds of the wounded one by one, and the bleeding wounds healed quickly.

Hall stood in front of the many mages and shouted, "Captains of the squads, report the number of casualties. ”

The leader of each squad came forward, but two of the squad leaders were killed and wounded in this battle, and they had to be represented by the rest of the team.

In the end, thirty-one of the forty first-level magicians were completely completed, five were seriously injured, and one was slightly injured. The remaining three died outright. This casualty figure may not seem like a big number, but it is already a lot of weight when put into the hands of a small number of mages who are also important combat strength.

"We won't be involved in the next battle on the city walls for the time being. Unless there is an emergency, we are in one place. Now there are ten people left to assist the soldiers at the city gate, and the others will hurry up to recover their mana and rest, and someone will rotate after three hours. Hale said to the many mages.

Hearing that there was no need to fight on the upper city wall, many mages breathed a sigh of relief. The spears flying in the sky on the walls put a lot of pressure on them, and it was clear that the trolls had sent their high-end combat power to target them as mages. If you are still on the city wall in this situation, it is no different from looking for death.

Because Xu Yue's group only used two waves of fireball techniques to complete the task during the battle, their team's mana loss was the one with the least. The other teams did not dare to show their heads under the suppression of the troll spear throwers, so they could only throw the fireball spell towards the siege engine, and a lot of mana was consumed in vain.

Not surprisingly, Xu Yue's group was left behind to guard the city gate, and two mages with less mana loss also joined in.

Standing at the brightly lit city gate, Xu Yue found a clean place to sit down a little helplessly. The battle just now was not very long, but the thrilling Cheng dΓΉ was something that had never been encountered before. Watching the groups of soldiers around him continue to rush up the stone steps to the city wall, he felt like he had traveled to the ancient battlefield in his heart.

The middle-aged uncle-like mage walked up to him and sat down, took out a bottle of wine from somewhere, took a sip and handed it over.

"No! Thank you, I don't drink!" Xu Yue politely refused.

"You're really an orthodox mage. Do you think that drinking alcohol will affect your mental control? Forget about that fallacy. If you've been on an adventure a lot, a little alcohol in between battles can be a great way to ease your nerves. By the way, my name is Julils, and I'm a traveling mage, what about you?" said the Decadent Uncle-like mage.

"My name is Xu Yue, and you can tell I'm a Chatterner. Currently temporarily residing in the nearby town of Komodo. ”

"Oh! Komodo Town, I've been there a few times. The town's Suser wine was good. It's just that there are too few girls. However, if you go on an adventure in the Nightsong Forest, it would be good. Juliels' words were not at all like a mage, but like a warrior in a mercenary group.

On the city wall, because the trolls only managed to get close to the city, the advantage is still on the side of Black Rock City, so there is no need to worry about anything for the time being. The two listened to the sound of fighting on the city wall, and chatted with each other.

Juliles has traveled to many places, and what he said has opened the eyes of Xu Yue, a pseudo-Chaltner, and there are many things that are not found in books.

Just when the two of them were chatting more and more speculatively, they suddenly heard a dense shouting and killing sound on the main road in the city. As if out of nowhere, the dense crowd of people rushed out of the alleys and killed the guards at the gates.

Xu Yue and Julils stood up in surprise. They never expected that this kind of racial war with trolls would involve humans attacking from inside the city.

These people appeared to be improvised gathered, carrying weapons in their hands, some wearing leather armor, some wearing ordinary clothes. As soon as they appeared, they fought with the guards at the door.

"Do you feel that there are fewer guards at the door?" said Julils to Xu Yue suddenly.

Xu Yue was shocked when he heard this, and after looking around, there were indeed a lot fewer guards guarding the city gate. It stands to reason that although the troll's attack is from the outside, the guards in such an important position as the city gate will never be mobilized. Now the battle on the city wall is dominated by the side of Black Rock City, so it is impossible to use the soldiers here.

"There's a thief!" Xu Yue and Julils said in unison after glancing at each other.

There were too many of these guys who stormed the city gates, at least two or three thousand people at a glance, and a few of them were obviously high-ranking guys who caused a lot of casualties to the soldiers guarding the city. And the soldiers guarding here are only about 300 people at this time, and they can't hold it anymore.

The other three magicians were shooting fireballs at those people at this time. However, this behavior immediately attracted the attention of those people with relatively high professional ranks. A thief who looked a little lame suddenly gave up on the soldier in front of him, and in a few flashes came to the side of the three mages.

His movements were so fast that several first-level mages didn't have time to lock on with their spirits. I saw the dagger in his hand flash, and suddenly it ended up in the neck of a mage, and the mage's body shrank twice, and then his neck spewed out a blood mist and fell.

The other two mages were startled, hurriedly activated the protective magic on their bodies, and fled backwards. The soldiers next to him also desperately came to entangle the thief.

"Toby 'Crippled Leg', I know this guy. He's the boss of a gang in town. Several other high-ranking professionals are also leaders of several gangs, and it seems that these remnants have colluded with the trolls outside the city, who want to open the city gates and let the trolls in. Julils said with an ugly look on his face when he saw the thief.

Although these gangs are a rabble, there are a few too many of them. More than three hundred soldiers had fallen half of them by this time. If these guys were allowed to seize the gates, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Toby pulled the dagger out of a soldier's heart, and he looked at the retreating soldiers without any joy on his face.

Glancing at a bearded man beside him who was holding a big knife and frantically slashing soldiers, he said in a gloomy tone: "I didn't expect that 'Fierce Wolf' Locke you also took refuge in those trolls. What did they promise you?"

The big man named Locke laughed wildly and said, "Haha, you Toby can join the trolls, why can't we." You're not alone. As for the benefits, they won't be less than what they're given to you. Hahahaha......"

His words made Toby's eyes even colder. Originally, Toby thought that they were the only gang who had defected to the trolls this time, and in that case, if the trolls captured Black Rock City, the management of humanity would depend on their soul chasers.

But when he didn't want to attack the city gate at the agreed time with the trolls, he realized that there were two other gangs doing the same thing, so his plan to climb to the top by joining the trolls was full of variables, and his heart couldn't be happy.

However, at this time, he had already opened his bow and had no turning back, and only by opening the city gate and letting the trolls in, could these betrayers survive. Otherwise, for those who betrayed their race, all the people of Black Rock City would not spare them.

Seeing that the remaining guards at the city gate were about to be compressed into the hole in the city gate, these guys attacking the city gate had already appeared on the city wall, but the people who came down were blocked by the gangs on the periphery.

Although those gangsters were no match for the soldiers defending the city, these guys knew that they had no way out, and they all took a desperate stance to block the soldiers on the periphery. They knew that they would only survive if the gates were wide open, so they were stalling for the soldiers besieging the gates.

"This can't be done! our people are dying too quickly, and these guys can kill us all and open the city gates before the people who support the city wall come over!" Xu Yue said after taking a look at the situation on the battlefield.

"What then, we don't have many people left, we can't wait for outside reinforcements to come in!" shouted Julils.

After Xu Yue looked around, he found a person who looked like an officer and grabbed him and shouted loudly.

"You make all the soldiers shrink into the gate hole, and then make a space for us in the middle, and a few of us magicians can release the magic together, so that we can buy a little time!"

The officer wiped the blood from his face, waited for his eyes to look at him, and then shouted, "There are only four of you, can you do it? Don't worry about the city gates, it takes two to open them, and only one here, we just need to hear the reinforcements coming." ”

"Don't worry!, we'll release all the magic in one go, clean up some of it, and then you can go up after we finish the magic!" Xu Yue replied loudly.

The officer thought for a moment and shouted loudly for the soldiers guarding the city gate to resist and retreat into the gate hole.

Xu Yue dragged over the two magicians who had been scared by the death of their companions and shouted loudly, "In a while, we will use the fireball technique together to attack the gap opened by the guards." Don't stop in the middle and use up all your mana in one go!"

The two mages looked at him a little stunned, and one of them reacted and shouted, "We are only first-level magicians, and we don't have much magic power. Even if it's all used to release the fireball technique, you can only release **, what if you run out of mana?

"If you don't use your mana now, won't you use it until the other party cuts off your head?" Xu Yue shouted as he pointed to the bandits who were desperately rushing outside.

After saying that, he ignored the two frightened mages, called Julils and came to the middle of the human wall formed by the guards at the city gate. The two frightened magicians hesitated for a moment, then followed.

"Success or failure is here!" Xu Yue thought to himself. At the same time, he signaled to the officer, and the next moment the human wall in front of him suddenly parted towards the two books under the command of the officer, and the thugs saw that there was a gap in the door, and immediately rushed towards the gap with cheers.

Xu Yue could even see their hideous expressions and the reflection on their weapons, and he raised his right hand with a calm face and shouted at the rushing crowd: "Listen to my command! Fireball Technique!"
