Chapter 50: The Flames of the Inner Wall
After 1 second, Leo moved three meters to the left, and under the influence of the lock, the giant crossbow also began to move.
After a slight pause for half a second, he suddenly changed direction and moved to the right.
The Giant Crossbow immediately began to adjust as well, but the launch time had already arrived, so it had already completed its launch according to the set settings while it was still locking.
Such a blow, of course, could not be hit, and even deviated a little outrageously.
Successfully dodging the shot, Leo gained another 4.6 seconds. He had to make a decision on his next steps as soon as possible.
Right now, Leo's first thing to do is to quickly find the next route to move.
In order to have a grasp of the whole, he naturally glanced inside the wall.
As expected, more than ten meters away, there was a slightly lower inner wall. This traditional style of defense can make the defense force more layered and deep, and can also encounter fierce resistance again after the enemy breaks through the first line of defense, thus demoralizing and affecting the battle situation.
However, judging from the current concept of war, when the first line of defense is breached, the second line of defense can play a very small role, so the current military fortresses are often not set up with internal walls.
For example, Joseph's Castle, where Leo lived for a while, originally had an interior wall, but because it didn't play a role and affected the interior space, it was simply moved out.
When Leo's gaze crosses the inner wall and continues to extend inside, it is an extremely large space.
In the center is a large multi-storey building, surrounded by many smaller buildings. Obviously, that large building is the heart of this fortress. And in the clearing, there are still quite a few people standing. Their eyes were all on them, pointing and pointing at each other. It seems to be judging.
You don't have to ask Leo to know that those people must be members of the Academy's mage group stationed here.
Time was pressing, Leo didn't have time to discern what those people were saying, his mental power rippled out, and he didn't find any danger, and the inner wall opposite. There are no magical crossbows either.
After 1 second, Leo selects the corner of the interior wall, which is a relative blind spot to avoid the ballista's attack, but still pay attention to the disgusting stinky oil on his head. As for flying directly over, with the speed of the Soaring Technique, I am afraid that before I reach the opposite side, I will be shot by the giant crossbow.
With a goal in mind, Leo immediately went into action. According to the calculations, the time should be just right.
Activating the magic weapon, he jumped off the city wall, and at the same time, he still superimposed a "swiftness technique" on himself.
In the blink of an eye, the feet touch the ground, and as soon as the cushioning is completed, an explosive force bursts out. Push your body forward.
"Bang!"
A cloud of dust kicked up behind Leo, and he sprang out like a cheetah with full speed. It only took two seconds to reach the target point.
Although the Magic Energy Giant Crossbow had already loaded its crossbow arrows, it was completely blocked by the heavy walls and completely lost its target, and finally stopped firing and moved back to its original position.
Leo gasped hard. Finally calmed the beating heart a little.
And he broke through the attack of the magic energy giant crossbow and successfully climbed over the wall, but he didn't feel any joy. On the contrary, he is more worried, because so far. Just one magic energy giant crossbow made him embarrassed, and the fortress's defensive magic array didn't seem to have any effect.
He had just had such a thought, and a slight friction sounded in his ears.
Leo was startled and hurriedly looked, only to find that at some point, a small square opening appeared in the inner wall around him, and a black metal pipe poked out of it, still with a strong sulfur smell.
"Damn!" Leo guessed what it was, and was about to dodge, but before he could take a step, the same square gap opened in the wall in front of him, and the same metal pipe poked out.
The next moment, with a whistling sound, the first metal pipe erupted with blazing flames, followed by the second, then the third, and just a few seconds later, the entire mezzanine of the exterior and interior walls turned into a sea of fire.
Fortunately, Leo reacted quickly enough and cast the flame shield in time. But even so, the heat of the flames still penetrated, and it only took a moment for him to feel like he was about to be roasted. Even a mage was almost hit, and you can imagine what kind of terrifying blow it would have suffered if a large number of ordinary soldiers entered here.
Knowing that under this kind of high-intensity flame, the flame shield might not last long, and once he lost protection, he would be seriously injured in an instant. Leo no longer hesitated, and instantly activated the red dragon bloodline.
Two seconds passed, and the scorching sensation of the flame dropped dramatically.
The red dragon is a flame dragon and is immune to almost all fire damage, and although Leo only has obtained an incomplete red young dragon bloodline, he also has good fire resistance.
It's just that activating the bloodline puts a lot of pressure on the body, and Leo can't maintain it for a long time, so he looked up and decided to give it a try.
The height of the inner wall is only about 6 meters, and it is not difficult to climb it with your own skills, and the only thing you need to worry about is not knowing if there are other threats on it.
But there was no time to think about it so much now, Leo barely found a way to climb in the sea of fire, and immediately began to try.
The process went smoothly, and soon, he climbed to the top of the interior wall.
Leo didn't go directly to the inner wall, but looked at it, and it was empty, as if there was no threat.
"So smooth?" Leo couldn't believe it.
The next moment, an invisible force appeared out of thin air, like a huge palm covering it.
"Bang!"
Caught off guard, Leo was suddenly slapped off the wall by a huge force.
"That's what it is...... The effect of the defensive magic circle here ...... Is it?"
In mid-air, Leo thought helplessly, while calmly ignoring the consumption of mental power, he instantly launched a vacancy technique to avoid being injured by a fall.
Fortunately, since he was briefly off the ground, the flames in the mezzanine of the two defensive walls below had also disappeared. As soon as it hit the ground, the metal pipe in the wall appeared again, obviously about to continue to spray flames.
Leo didn't dare to stay on the ground, so he could only rely on the aerial technique to float, but at this time, the feeling of danger hit again.
It turned out that due to the movement, it caused itself to be reexposed, and it was locked by the magic energy giant crossbow again.
"Is it so difficult, this is the lowest level of defense?" Leo cried.
At this time, a figure not far away jumped down from the outer wall. (To be continued.) )
