Section 124 Fadel's First Battle (3)
The alien offensive is much more than that. *
As soon as Lan Fangsuo moved, the location of a large trebuchet changed drastically.
These large trebuchets were made by craftsmen in the country of Sand by cutting down nearby trees, but because they were only made temporarily, they were not very durable, but they were only used in this war, so they were barely used.
A trebuchet requires dozens of soldiers to operate, four to five soldiers are responsible for putting their heads into the scoop, and then two groups of twelve people, a total of two groups of twenty-four soldiers, pull dozens of nooses made of the toughest cowhide, the noose is tightened and straightened, and then suddenly released, the boulder in the scoop will be thrown with maximum force and smashed into the fortress.
This kind of attack doesn't need to be too precise, as long as it hits the fortress, once it hits, even if it doesn't directly cause human damage, it can still pose a threat to the city wall, and if it continues, it will smash a gap in the defense.
But the walls of the aliens were particularly strong and peculiar, and the surface was so uncommon that I don't know how they were built, and the boulders were thrown on them, and the rocks broke into several pieces on their own, but the fortress walls barely moved.
So now trebuchets are almost used as suppression tools, rather than destruction tools, and the power of many trebuchets together can still make the alien shooters on the fortress wall have great scruples, and produce a suppression effect.
After this suppression, the archers of the aborigines dared to move forward and shoot at the figures on the wall, cooperating with the trebuchets.
It was only after this advantage that the aborigines filled the ditch dug deep in front of the fortress gate with soil, and began to directly destroy the fortress gate with siege equipment such as rushing vehicles, as long as the gate was opened. The general trend is set.
At this moment, however, the ground where a catapult was located felt scorching. The ground suddenly looked like it was late summer. The heat after being directly illuminated by the sun for several hours in an unsheltered open field.
The soldiers of the Land of Sand and the Temple Guards had basic armor, such as boots on their feet, which they could tolerate the heat, while the villagers who volunteered to participate in the expulsion of the aliens were mostly barefoot, and their feet were blistered, and they could hardly stand.
And the temperature is still rising at an alarming level, as if some giant monster is about to emerge from the ground.
The people near the trebuchet already sensed something was wrong and were about to evacuate. But it was too late.
The ground turned a dark red, shallow and deep cracks appeared, and the scorching magma rose with flames into the sky, forming a huge pillar of fire that rose into the sky.
The trebuchet immediately burst into flames and soon turned to ashes, and the nearest soldiers and villagers were buried with them, and only three or four who were a little further away did not die on the spot, but the sight of them running seven or eight paces with their bodies on fire and being caught up and re-engulfed by the huge pillar of fire was all the more terrifying.
The huge pillar of fire did not stop after destroying a trebuchet and more than thirty soldiers and villagers, and the pillar of fire began to take the point that had just appeared. Draw a line of fire.
The pillar of fire is like a sharp blade, forcibly cutting through the surface of the earth to form a ravine. Like the first place where the pillar of fire first appeared, the magma gushed out, the ground boiled, and the heat turned the surroundings of each gully into a hot zone, forming lines of fire.
If you look down from the sky, the magma gully formed by the pillar of fire happens to form a huge six-pointed star array with an overall area of about half a kilometer.
In this six-pointed star array, the line of fire is like a giant snake crawling at a winding speed, and the flames and high temperature brought by it make the aborigines who exist in this area avoid it, like ants, try their best to avoid the direct damage of the line of fire, and escape to a place where there is no line of fire as much as possible.
In the instinctive evasion, only a very few people successfully escaped from the siege of the line of fire, and many more avoided being injured by the flames and magma spewing out of the ditch at the first time, but from a high altitude, it can be clearly seen that hundreds of people are squeezed together.
The six-pointed star array-like magma gully was completed, and the pillar of fire returned to the original point of origin.
In the next moment, within the six-pointed star-shaped area formed by the ravine, countless snake-sized flames burst out, and magma also overflowed the ground, and the area within about half a kilometer became a sea of fire.
The people who were previously driven by the line of fire and huddled together were no longer spared, and they all became burning men in the sea of fire.
Even if one of the temple priests used his magic to produce a protective effect, he couldn't support him and the people around him to get out of this sea of fire, and he still regretfully fell on the edge of the sea of fire.
"Hahahaha. Yetir on the fortress wall laughed triumphantly, and glanced at Solomon and them a little defiantly.
Since they decided to make a move, it was unceremonious, and Solomon and the others divided into two parts to meet the battle, in order to solve the crisis facing the fortress.
Chipman, Cherki, and the swordsman Giffres rushed to the battlefield, and the others were mages, and Leonis was also suitable as an archer to stay on the fortress walls.
Just now, it was Etil's move, the sacrifice of the eighth-level magic flame, which not only destroyed a catapult of the aborigines, but also burned to death hundreds of nearby warriors and villagers who came to help.
And although the pillar of fire is gone, the sea of fire is still there, which will cut off the position of the aborigines at this time.
The hires must have been unconvinced by each other, so after Itil had opened with a powerful spell, he would make a gesture to demonstrate to the others.
The others ignored him, though, and Leonis replied with a bow and arrow.
When she shot an arrow, there was nothing surprising at first, but after flying a hundred meters, the body of the arrow made a loud noise, not only did not decrease, but increased.
Around the arrow, like the armored warrior Cherki, a magnificent and delicate aura quietly emerged, which is a peculiarity that can only appear when the fighting qi is highly condensed and reaches the point of being controlled.
The aura that envelops the arrow is a lifelike, budding rose.
As the rose emerged, Leonis's arrows became faster, like dragons skimming through the air. Hit somewhere on the battlefield.
That one was two kilometers away from the fortress wall. All the attacks on the previous stronghold were almost unattainable. Even mages can't do anything about it, because although they can sense it, the condensation and transmission of magic power will be lost due to distance, greatly reducing the success rate of magic casting, and even if it is successful, its power may be weakened by different degrees.
The people there were some priests from the temple of Mana, who were relatively safe from a distance away and could perform all kinds of magic with ease. And the target of this arrow turned out to be them.
Leonis's Rose Arrow emerged in the gas phase, and with the power of the fighting spirit, it pushed the arrow skill to an astonishing level, as fast as a meteor.
When those priests saw Leonis's attack, they were shocked and angry, they didn't expect that they would be attacked at such a safe distance.
They quickly cast defensive magic spells, but the time was too hasty, and they didn't have time to chant Mana's holy words, so they could only use their divine power to condense the most primitive shield in front of them.
When the arrow of roses shot in front of the priests, it seemed to encounter an invisible layer of resistance. There were ripples like water waves, and the astonishing arrow immediately slowed down.
The Priests of Mana breathed a sigh of relief. This arrow frightened them just now, and they couldn't stop it alone, even with Mana's protection, but the divine power shield just now was used by several priests.
Now that it is blocked, it seems that there is no need to spend more divine power to chant the holy words, and to cherish the favor and grace of the goddess to herself.
In the life of this thought, only one of the several priests, out of caution, still chanted the Word of Mana.
At this moment, the arrow of roses exploded automatically, no, no, it was not so much an explosion as an active decomposition, but in the form of an explosion.
The arrow itself did explode, and with the momentum of this explosion, it suddenly pierced a big hole in the divine power shield created by the joint efforts of several priests.
Although the material arrows were gone, the imaginary gas-like roses on it were not finished, and with this explosion, they were decomposed into more than a hundred rose arrows that shot through the big hole that was blown out.
These small rose arrows were all condensed from fighting energy, but at this time, they were even more terrifying than the steel arrows shot with a strong bow.
After the pear blossom rain, the white robe was stained with blood, and these Mana priests fell down in scars.
On the city wall, Leonis pulled out a second arrow, but instead of immediately drawing the arrow, she also glanced back at Etir, who had just provoked, and then swept her gaze over Solomon, and Elaine, who had been rarely speaking.
Solomon and the others were all hired by the Mogul merchant group, and it was only natural that they would not be convinced by each other.
If it weren't for the Mogul merchant group being too anxious to send them over, maybe over there, the next time the merchant group invited everyone to a banquet, some people would be unable to hold back and jump out to stretch out and stretch out others.
This time the battlefield happened to be an opportunity, except for Chebman, who was definitely at the bottom, he was really inverted, and was defeated by Solomon before he officially joined, and everyone else probably had the intention of secretly contending.
Solomon did not directly respond to Etir's provocation, he had seen both Leonis and Itir's attack just now.
Just in terms of the shot just now, it was Leonis who won the game, don't look at Itir's fire magic looks more powerful and kills more people, but this only proves that his spell is more suitable for group attacks on the battlefield, because it is a range-type attack spell.
But if this spell is used against Solomon and a few of them, the effect may not be good.
Because the disadvantages of this magic are also obvious, that is, the movement is slow, the magic power required is more, and the attack is effective within a certain range, although it seems to be very majestic to kill ordinary enemies, but for the strong people of the same level, if they have a certain prediction, or have a very high degree, they can get out of the range of the attack in time, and they will not be harmed.
And Leonis's arrow is obviously much stronger, although it finally turned into a lot of vindictive small arrows, and it is also a coverage range attack, but the shot is too fast, and the explosion of the real arrow itself is difficult to dodge, and the coverage of the arrow after the explosion is not small, and the connection is extremely fast, unlike the magic of Itir, which is as slow as producing a flame ditch.
Itir's magic range is a little larger, and it can barely be regarded as each with its own strengths, but if it was just a duel between these two people, it would definitely be Leonis who would have won.
Although the threat of becoming a high-level archer mage is greater than that of other ranks, high-level mages are not to be underestimated, and Itir cannot master only this kind of magic. It's too early to tell who is higher and who is lower.
However, this time in the secret battle, Leonis won. Of course, Etir's face was not very good-looking.
Neither Yetir's annoyance nor Leonis's smugness lasted long. Because they were quickly attracted by the attacks of Solomon and Elaine.
Solomon, of course, did not show much strength in this way, and still only maintained the details that he showed in front of Chebman.
Guerra and Agatha just stayed by his side and didn't make a move, one didn't want to show his bottom either, and the other didn't want to participate in this cruel war, and her little head realized what Solomon said when he persuaded her to go back, and he didn't come out to play in the mountains and rivers.
Solomon still only released his summoned beasts, and in addition to the elemental summoning method, there were several magical beasts inhabited in his summoning seal at this time. Manticore and swamp hydra are just two of them.
In the past few years, with his financial resources and alliance with the Secret Alliance, he has obtained several demonic beasts above the seventh order from the Wizards' Guild and the Tongguò Underground Dark Council.
This is the advantage of having money, and it is also one of the fundamental intentions of his efforts to introduce everything into the field of wealth and commodity circulation, so that he can grasp wealth through guò and then get what he wants more easily.
He unleashed the Manticore and the Swamp Hydra on the battlefield, the manticore, which came and went like the wind and was the most terrifying killer for ordinary people, and there was no difference between shooting an ordinary bow and arrow at its body and shooting it at an iron stone, unless it hit the eye. But the manticore's degree is extremely fast, and there is no chance at all.
The swamp hydra doesn't do as much damage as the manticore. However, it is not that it is inferior to the manticore, but it is too vicious, and the aborigines on the battlefield still have the courage to fight against the manticore, and they are completely frightened against the hydra.
Even with the encouragement of the priest of Mana in the back, someone bravely approached the Hydra, but it was difficult to start.
The first swamp hydra has the ability to alienate the environment, and as it appears, there will be a small area of the environment around it that changes to the swamp, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to approach and attack, and the hydra's defense is also quite amazing, although it seems to be a little worse than the manticore, but the skin and flesh are tough but definitely not under the vine shield, and it is much taller than the manticore, and the vitality is several times stronger.
The most important thing is that the attack of the hydra is much more powerful than that of the manticore, in the end, it is a seventh-order demonic beast, its nine heads take turns to swing and attack, and anyone who dares to approach its body is either bitten into two and held in its mouth, or is directly swallowed.
After dozens of people died, the body of the hydra was empty at once, and no one dared to approach it for a while.
The summoning beast determines the strength of the summoner, if it is only one of them, Etil and Leonis will not have much fear, but the two demonic beasts together make them have to put away their original contempt.
There was also an Elaine that also made the three of them, including Solomon, awe-inspiring.
This man came with Chebman, and he didn't know where he came from, and after Chebman was defeated, he took the initiative to admit defeat, so at first Solomon didn't take him to heart.
However, in this battle, Elaine's magic was dark magic, indicating that he was a dark magician.
The dark system is a division of ancient magic, and there is no separate branch of the dark system in the arcane system, but the magic belonging to the dark system is dispersed into various branches of the new system of the arcane system, such as the necromancy system and the illusion system.
However, the new and ancient systems of magic have never really convinced and defeated each other, so mages who identify with different systems of the same spell will often take their own sides.
Just like a dark mage, a dark mage will definitely insist that he is a dark mage, and will never agree that the spell he casts belongs to a certain branch of the arcane arts.
Elaine's magic created a pitch-black mist on the battlefield, which began as a small cloud, but from time to time there were terrible screams, as if dozens of beasts were bound inside, ready to rush out.
The black fog moved slowly, not too fast, but as long as it was shrouded in the black fog, you would hear a terrified scream from inside the fog, as if the dozens of fierce beasts in the black fog were devouring the inverted frieze ghost.
As the number of people engulfed by the black mist increased, the blood slowly infiltrated, turning into a color mixed with red and black, like a large amount of blood dyed in the thick ink, unspeakably strange and mysterious. (To be continued!)
