Chapter 1288: The Longest Night (Part II)
The dazzling arc of electricity, like lightning on a summer night, instantly illuminated the entire maple leaf danlin.
A powerful electric current shot from the top of the Maple Leaf Danlin Magic Tower flew back and forth in the night sky, wiping out the vanguard of the Undead War Fortress in the blink of an eye.
Because they were chasing Paulus all the way, the twelve war fortresses that flew at the front were destroyed by Lester with one shot.
The Maple Leaf Danlin's magic cannon revealed its powerful and ruthless power.
The most powerful magic cannon in this continent is itself tailor-made for the demon people.
The war with the demons thousands of years ago brought too painful memories to mankind, two-thirds of the countries on the continent were destroyed by the war, and nearly half of the population was killed in the war.
This huge wound was endured by human beings and licked it for 400 years before they regained their vitality.
And the undead high priest, who was the culprit of the longest night (second) in Chapter 1288 of Sin, was expelled from the mainland, but everyone clearly knew that the terrible enemy was still alive and well, dormant, waiting, and preparing for the next attack.
Although thousands of years have passed, the shadow of the high priest has always hung over people's hearts like night.
In order to avoid the recurrence of the same tragedy, mankind learned from the war and established today's Maple Leaf Danlin on the battlefield of the final decisive battle.
From the very beginning, the Maple Leaf Danlin has undertaken the great mission of resisting the demons.
At the beginning of its design, its magic cannon was required to be able to independently block the attack of the demon army, and for this reason, in the first two hundred years after the end of the war, those Terran elites did their best to gather the resources of the entire continent. This is how the three towers of today's Maple Leaf Danlin were built.
Although the Three Sages who were the symbol of the academy have passed away, the three towers of the Maple Leaf Danlin have become the new symbol of the academy.
The War Tower is responsible for directing the battle: making military plans and guiding the Terran legions to fight the enemy in a bloody battle.
The Tower of Light is responsible for defense: driving away darkness, purifying the mind, and healing the sick and wounded. Let the souls of the departed rest in peace.
And the magic tower is responsible for the attack ~ Chapter 1288 The longest night (II)!
Use powerful magic to inflict a destructive blow on your enemies.
It draws energy from a reserve warehouse buried deep underground, and then shoots powerful destructive spells tens of miles away through the magic cannon that towers over the tower.
With every hit, you can inflict terrifying damage on your enemies.
What's even more terrifying is the psychological deterrence caused by the magic tower, within the range of its range, the enemy will have no way to escape, which will make no one dare to approach the maple leaf pill forest. Even the high priest, who is known as the strongest under the starry sky, does not dare to approach~!
The Tower of Magic and the Tower of Light. It is the spear and shield of the maple leaf danlin.
With their protection. The Maple Leaf Danlin is a fortress that can never fall.
It's a pity that although the magic cannon is powerful, its powerful power also causes complicated operations.
Only a great mage like Lester can control it freely and exert 100% of the power of the magic cannon.
At the beginning, the Almohads were besieging the city, and Leo was making trouble in the magic tower. accidentally activated the magic cannon, and although Rolena, who rushed to the rescue, tried her best to control it, she exerted less than one-tenth of its power.
Because her magic is insufficient. So much so that the cannon was not even recharged.
And now, in the hands of Lester, the magic cannon that has been ready to go for a long time has finally shown its great power. Just one hit. The results were incredibly fruitful.
Twelve undead war fortresses were destroyed, and the one that narrowly escaped was seriously wounded.
In the blink of an eye, the undead who rushed to the sky above the Maple Leaf Danlin were almost completely wiped out.
Although there were war regulations, the students and teachers of Maple Leaf Danlin still ignored the obstruction of the security team and all rushed out of the room. Nervously observe the battle in the sky from the ground.
When they saw with their own eyes a fierce blow like the fury of Thor, they couldn't suppress the crazy shouts and cheers.
"Die~!"
"Sons of dogs, as many as you come, we will destroy you. β
"This is our Maple Leaf Danlin~!"
"Long live the Maple Leaf Danlin~!"
β......β
At this time, closely following the striker, the fortress of the undead war in the second echelon also appeared on the battlefield.
When the lightning streaked across the night sky just now, they all clearly saw what had just happened. All of them were frightened out of their bodies, and in panic, they manipulated their war fortresses to fly to both sides, avoiding the frontal airspace that was targeted by the magic cannon.
The four corners of the war fortresses, with their green lights against collisions, suddenly dispersed, so that from the ground, they looked like fireflies in the wind, suddenly giving way to the area in the middle.
And it was their action that made the only surviving war fortress appear extremely lonely in the shelling just now.
At this time, a holy light bullet also came out of nowhere. Fly towards the fortress of war. Slowly falling not far from it.
A bright and holy light suddenly lit up half of the sky.
With the glow of the Holy Light Bullet, the fortress of war, which had been hidden in the darkness of the night, revealed its shape. The originally towering, tall, and impregnable fortress of war was now very miserable.
A huge hole has been blown out of its faΓ§ade, revealing the structure inside. Billowing black smoke billowed outward.
I can vaguely see figures running around in a panic on the decks, and some people are sitting on the ground, shaking and wailing......
Obviously, the blow just now, although it did not knock it down, but it also caused it heavy losses.
At this time, the war fortress also understood that it was under the muzzle of the opponent's magic guide cannon and was in danger, so it retreated desperately.
Like a bird with broken wings, it staggered and struggled backwards, trying to escape from the cannon's range.
Those dark mages and lichs also knew that the more powerful the magic cannon, the longer it would take to recharge, and the shortest it would take to recharge a magic cannon as large as the Maple Leaf Danlin was a few minutes.
They still have a chance to escape.
But at this time, Paulus led the Maple Leaf Danlin people to turn their heads and kill them with one move~!
Looking at the crumbling war fortress of the undead in the air, the artillerymen glanced at each other, and all of them showed a hideous smile: there are not many chances to meet such a good target.
Paulus's long plane was backed by a magic cannon behind him, and the enemy did not dare to come. Therefore, swaggering straight over. All the way to a distance of a few tens of meters from each other.
The artillerymen clearly saw the panic in the war fortress on the opposite side, like rats. Dark mages running around.
The big guy laughed at them loudly, pointed at them with his swarthy muzzle, put his hands to his lips and shouted, "Hey, the other side, look here." β
Then pull the rope hard.
They are on the top of the maple leaf danlin, and if they miss, they may accidentally injure the onlookers on the ground, so this blow must be hit.
The muzzle flame flickered, illuminating the desperate dark mage on the other side.
In less than half a second. The war fortress of the undead explodes violently. Before the explosion could dissipate, two more explosions were heard from the flames.
It was clear that more than one of the war fortresses of the Maple Leaf Danlin was attacking it.
Although this war fortress of the undead narrowly escaped Lester, it could not escape the murderous Paulus.
With a loud roar, it was completely blown to pieces, and there was not even a slightly larger piece of wreckage. Fist-sized shards fell in a boiling motion.
Then, the war fortress of the Maple Leaf Danlin was at full speed, rushing towards the undead who were busy dodging in the sky.
Their fortress was built in units of three. Chase the fleeing undead in all directions.
By the time the air had been fought, the undead had exposed their Achilles' heel of inadequate training.
In the past, only the undead had the Great Killer of the War Fortress. They all thought that the War Fortress was just a powerful ground weapon. It is equipped with only a slow-reloading magic cannon.
Even though Lorraine had stolen their war fortress and escaped from the siege, he fought them hard. But this perception is still irreversible.
And due to the lack of magical energy crystals, they also rarely conduct large-scale drills and training. So when they suddenly encountered an air battle, they all panicked all at once. I don't know what to do at all.
However, the war fortress of Maple Leaf Danlin is specially designed to deal with air combat.
To do this, they have also made a lot of improvements. Replacing the original stone with steel not only strengthens defenses, but also greatly increases speed and maneuverability due to the reduced weight.
Each war fortress is equipped with eight cannons, and the firepower is powerful.
In addition to this, all personnel have undergone extremely rigorous training in air combat.
The comparison between the two shows the advantages and disadvantages immediately.
At this time, the war fortresses of the undead were scattered throughout the airspace on the periphery of the Maple Leaf Danlin, and there was no longer any need for the Maple Army to form a formation and attack their formation.
Now, all they need is to grab a lone enemy, bite it, entangle it, and finally shoot it down.
The sky was in a scuffle, and the light and light flying in the sky were extremely gorgeous.
The difference between the two sides can be seen through the lights at the four corners of the war fortress. The green glow is the war bastion of the undead. Their number is the largest.
The red and yellow are the war fortresses of the Maple Army, and although they are relatively few in number, they are the fastest moving.
This kind of catch-and-kill air combat is the most test of the captains' skills.
At all times, they are enemies on all sides, and the captain must be able to spot at a glance which ones are targets and which ones pose a threat to themselves, so as to decide which ones to attack and which to dodge.
While keeping a close eye on the long plane, the wingmen on the left and right must also pay attention to their backs to beware of the undead sneaking up from behind while they are chasing their targets, and if the long plane misses, the wingman is also responsible for repairing the blade.
It was only at this time that the captains of the Maple Leaf Danlin suddenly found that all the actions of the other party seemed familiar.
After making a move in the Undead War Fortress, the captains can immediately anticipate the enemy's next move, and knowing what to do, they can intercept the enemy and trap it in their crosshairs to kill it.
The battle was extremely fierce, and every second there was a cannon flame flickering in the air, and the rumbling sound of cannon fire was like muffled thunder.
Every now and then, the battered fortress of war burns and falls from the air to the ground.
Lester wielded the magic cannon and was always looking for an opportunity, and whenever he found it running into his range, Lester used a swift spell to blast it to pieces.
The undead found themselves trapped in a wide net.
The flickering bright lights of the Maple Leaf Danlin War Fortress passed by them at high speed, but when they went up in pursuit, they found themselves left far away in less than two laps.
As soon as they slow down, a group of triangular war bastions will always appear behind the buttocks, attacking them with a large number of artillery fire.
The undead clan can only shoot back one shot at a time, but the Maple Leaf Danlin people can fire six shots at the same time, and the accuracy is surprisingly good.
While the undead were in a hurry to recharge. The war fortress of Maple Leaf Danlin can easily carry out two or three rounds of attacks, and more than 20 shells come at the front and back, and the hit rate is quite impressive.
In fact, the undead found that the war fortress of Maple Leaf Danlin was always tricking them into firing first.
They will chase the undead near the limit of their range, and once the dark mage can't help but fire the magic cannon, when they are charged, the maple leaf danlin people will immediately speed up and fire as close as possible.
If hit. Just chase and beat it hard. Destroy it completely.
If they don't hit, they will quickly retreat out of range after a single blow and continue chasing the undead.
This kind of tactic of fighting and leaving, not giving the undead a chance to fight back, those dark mages and lichs who are angry vomit blood, it is really embarrassing.
Once the undead pursued the Maple Leaf Danlin people from the rear. The two war fortresses in the back will decisively open fire on the pursuers, forcing the war fortress of the undead to not get close.
Despite the fact that there are twice as many undead war fortresses in the air as the Maple Leaf Danlin people, in the chase battle. The people of Maple Leaf Danlin always fight three against one and give full play to their firepower advantage.
The dark mages and lichs are always on their own.
Unity, joint operations, and the Lich don't have that word in the dictionary.
The battle was one-sided, with the smaller side gaining the upper hand. The side that chased the large number fled in a hurry.
Paulus was out of the battlefield, he condescendingly observed the battlefield situation from a high altitude, leading his team to fill in the gaps at any time.
His responsibility is to protect the Maple Leaf Danlin and the construction workshop of the War Fortress, while killing as many enemies as possible, rather than chasing down numbers.
At this moment, the southern sky flashed with green light. Driven by the undead who had been left behind.
Paulus frowned, and said in his heart that it was not good, the number of enemies would be three times that of them, and this battle would not be easy to fight.
But the undead seemed to have seen a savior, and the undead war fortress in the deep quagmire turned around and flew towards the back team that could be rushed, trying to join them.
The Maple Leaf Danlin people bit their tails in the back, and after knocking out two more seats, they turned around and retreated.
It is obviously unwise to use a squad to attack the enemy's large forces.
The war fortresses of the undead clan gathered together, and more than a hundred war fortresses were entrenched in the air, facing the Maple Leaf Danlin dozens of miles away, and confronting the Maple Leaf Danlin people in the air.
Paulus sighed, it seems that the previous disadvantage did not deter the enemy, although it is impossible to count how many enemies have been destroyed, twenty is always there, and thirty is very likely.
But compared to the enemy's close to one hundred and fifty, this loss was not high, and the enemy was still three times his own.
A terrible and shrill whistling sounded in the air, and the hovering undead war fortresses rushed up, apparently determined to use their numerical superiority.
Paulus's face was solemn, and he waved his hand decisively, and ordered: "Up~!"
took the lead and rushed towards the enemy.
On the ground, Lester was also staring at the air, pressing his hands on the control platform.
Another piercing scream rang out, and the undead rushed into the range of the magic tower without hesitation.
Lester's face was gloomy, and his eyes looked at the undead approaching at high speed without blinking.
The mages behind him couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up, Dean, the enemy is rushing up." β
"No," Lester shook his head sternly and said, "The enemy is too scattered." β
The undead had learned their lesson, and the magic cannon could only hit one or two enemies at a time, which was obviously not cost-effective.
"It's up to you. Lester looked at the maple leaf danlin man flying above his head, suddenly smiled, turned the control platform with both hands, and suddenly entered the magic power.
The magic cannon lit up with a white light as dazzling as the sun, illuminating the maple leaf danlin and the night sky overhead.
"Illumination. The teacher covered his eyes and muttered.
A non-lethal spell that is as simple as a magic apprentice.
The magic tower transforms into a large light bulb that lights up the night sky in the heat of battle.
If humans don't like night, then lichs don't like day, and the blinding white light can be unbearable for lichs.
The airspace in front of Paulus's eyes was lit up by illumination, and Reist turned night into day.
The morale of the captains was suddenly boosted, they could finally see clearly, the fear of collision and restraint was gone, and instead, it was the enemy who had to hide from the glaring light.
At this time, a war fortress slowly fell towards the campus of the maple leaf danlin with frequent flashing signal lights.
Lorina slammed her feet and said, "Oops, they need supplies." β
Then he left Lester and flew straight down from the magic tower, rushing as fast as he could to the enemy who had landed at the war fortress.
Because of the back-and-forth battles between the two sides above and near the landing site, this war fortress had to choose a slightly safer campus in the rear.
When it fell into the open space on campus, Lorina also rushed to the front and asked nervously and loudly, "What's going on?"
The captain poked his head out and shouted anxiously, "The shells are gone." β
Lorina said without thinking: "You wait, I'll find someone to transport cannonballs for you." β
"There aren't enough crystals, and the rest can only last three hours. The captain hurriedly added.
Lorena nodded knowingly, seven hours had passed since they set off, and the energy they carried was about the same.
At this time, a large group of students came out of the nearby basement, gathered in front of Rolena, and said noisily: "Big sister, we are here to help too." β
The cannonballs and the Demonic Crystals are stored in the ZΓ i underground warehouse, which is not close from here.
Lorina thought to herself, this is not the only one that lacks cannonballs and energy, as the battle continues, more and more war fortresses will need supplies, but there is no one to use in front of them.
They had anticipated all sorts of scenarios, but they didn't expect the battle to last so long.
At the moment, we can only rely on these students.
Lorina gritted her teeth and waved her hand, "All go and help." β
"Okay, let's go~!"
"Brethren, carry the cannonballs. β
Hundreds of students braved the dark spells and cannonballs flying overhead, and rushed to the warehouse next to the workshop.
On the way, Luo Lina suddenly thought of a question, the war fortress of the Maple Leaf Danlin occupies the home advantage, and the energy is about to run out, how long can the undead who are attacking from a distance last? (To be continued!!
