Chapter 222: The Last Elegy (4)

At noon the next day, Jerry, Ruinon, Xuan Qingyi, and Bella went to the military construction site with heavy bricks on their backs.

"Hahaha! I never imagined that as a prince, I would one day become a brick-carrying worker. Suddenly, Xuan Qingyi put down the brick and laughed, "It's a shame for him (beep-)." ”

"If you don't have enough people, you can just get down!" said Ronon holding a stack of bricks taller than the others, "and doing it for your own survival." There's nothing to be ashamed of. ”

There is a saying that 'labor is the most glorious'. Jerry interjected with a grin, "Ruinon, if you waste your mental power like this, you won't have any extra mental power to use magic when the war starts." ”

"Don't worry! I'm not like you. ”

"You're a monster with an inexhaustible mental power!"

"You're the monster...... "Just like that, a group of four of them came to the front line carrying bricks and carrying bricks.

"Good work, Wizards. The old general, Steve, took the bricks from Ronon and said, "This is the last of the kind, and we will be able to lay out the walls of Gotak before the enemy attack the city." ”

"It will work!" Jerry yelled with his fist clutched.

"Oh!" the busy soldiers around them replied in unison, morale high.

"Sorry, it's too late. At this moment, there was a discordant sound in the sky.

"What?" everyone was taken aback.

I saw Arroyo Constantine slowly descending with the levitation technique, "Jasper and the Byzantine coalition have arrived. ”

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Steve's old body burst out with an incomparably powerful aura, roaring like thunder, earth-shattering.

The soldiers threw down their hoes, shovels, hammers, and towels, and then put on armor and helmets, and went into battle with their swords.

"Line up!" Steve yelled.

"Yes!" the soldiers were actually high-spirited, and their movements were as swift as the wind, without dragging their feet.

"General......" At this moment, an old voice drifted into General Steve's ears. Steve turned his head curiously to find a group of gray-haired, slim old men looking at him with longing eyes.

"You ...... this"

"Don't look at us as old bones, but we can still use this gun, pull this bow, and slaughter a few traitors and thieves after we go into battle...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" said the old man who took the lead straightened up, danced the rusty spear in his hand, and then coughed violently.

The old men who followed him showed their weapons: axes, hoes, sickles, brooms...... At the same time, he muttered something in his mouth, but his voice was unusually loud. Among them was a little boy who looked younger than Renong, who struggled to pick up a wooden stick and dance like a tiger.

Ronon asked Konstantin softly, "Who are they?"

"The retiring garrison of Gotak City...... General Lamand took all the elite with him before leaving, leaving only five thousand old and sick like him. Konstantin covered his face and turned sideways and smiled, "What's his name?" Smith Sharpsey? Hey, I can't remember, I've seen his resume anyway, and he'll be retiring next month." Well, he approached me several times before and asked to enlist in the army, but I politely refused. ”

"Grandpa......"

Konstantin shook his head helplessly and said: "It's such a mess, they are obviously going to die in vain." ”

The corners of Steve's mouth twitched slightly, and after a little silence, he said, "Permission!

"Yes, General!" the old man turned around in a trembling voice, beckoning the people behind him to come over and stand side by side.

Konstantin came to the old general and whispered, "Do you see that kid? arrange a logistics for him...... This is not the place where children should be. ”

"Master Constantine, you may have saved the child's life by doing this, but you have killed his dignity and heart. ”

"Is that so?" Konstantin shook his head, apparently unable to agree.

Encouraged by the old men, Rainon and Jerry both drew their wands and were eager to try it, but Constantine held them down and said, "I'll come here first, and the four of you will go to the rear and urge Erica and Anne to hurry up and bring the magic crystal cannon and ammunition up." Oh, and there are trebuchets, ballistas, bows, arrows, and guns, the more the merrier. ”

"It's enough for one person to go to this, and we're going to war. Ruinon said stubbornly.

"Yes, Bella, you go and rush down. Jerry said as he nudged Bella.

"Jerry......" Bella protested reluctantly.

"Hey!" Xuan Qingyi sighed and said, "You guys, don't you think about it with your brains?" We are fighting a city defense battle, and the opponent's first round of attack will definitely start with long-range heavy siege equipment such as magic crystal cannons. In response to enemy artillery bombardment, we relied on magical enchantments and fortified cities. In such an offensive and defensive battle, the rotation of the defender's magician lineup and the distribution of physical strength are the key, and Master Constantine means that we should go to the rear to rest first, and the transportation and supervision work is only incidental. ”

"That's right, Grandpa, be careful!" said Rinon with his black eyes, staring into Constantine's eyes.

"Hehehe! The enemy is now, time is pressing, let's go!" Konstantin said, patting Renon on the head.

"Yes!" Ronon and his group of four sped towards the city at the speed of the wind.

Gerald Jasper stood on a tall lookout, holding up his binoculars and staring at them, muttering something muttered muttering. Vlad Jasper stood beside his father, pacing anxiously.

"Calm down, Vlad, how can you make me feel comfortable handing over the governor's position to you?" said Gerald, putting down his binoculars.

"Father...... I...... I'm not nervous...... I'm ......" Vlad stammered, speechless.

"That's nervousness, but I know you're not cowardly, it's Erica Constantine, right?"

Vlad blushed and whispered, "Yes......"

"Son, don't worry, Dad will help you take care of all this, and you also have to understand, who is Erica Constantine? Arroyo Constantine's granddaughter, his only relative, will be fine with Master Constantine under her cover. What's more, there are two masters in the Konstantin family who live in seclusion. Christopher Mopra and Anne Field, they are not fuel-efficient lamps. Gerald Jasper put his arm around Vlad's shoulder and said, "Don't think about these irrelevant things when you run errands, as long as you win this war, Erica is in your pocket." ”

"Father...... This...... Isn't that good?"

Gerald's face changed, "The magic crystal cannon, the mage squad, and the crossbowmen have all been arranged?"

"Ah, yes! ”

"What about the cloud echelon and the rushing team?"

"Ready to charge, ready to charge!" Vlad shouted in a loud salute.

"Very good, listen to my orders, prepare to attack the city!Five magic crystal cannons are ready to ......" Gerald raised his hand high.

In Gotak City, Gonzas led two magic crystal cannons in one hand and a roast chicken in his mouth, and ran towards the city wall quickly.

Renon pushed her behind Gonzas and said anxiously, "When is it, you are still thinking about eating, send the magic crystal cannon over!"

"Woo...... Woowoo...... Woo-woo......" Gonzas snorted indistinctly. Meaning: Human ...... food ...... Delicious!

Xuan Qingyi saw it and thought: What is the origin of this woman?

Anne manipulated the air elemental and flew up the city wall with several tall and heavy trebuchets and ballistas, causing the surrounding soldiers to marvel.

Erica and Sylph rushed to the front line with a dozen truckloads of artillery and arrows, and the soldiers on standby on the second line couldn't help but come forward to help them.

The sun shone on Gerald's thick palm. The giant palm fell and slapped on the armrest with a gentle sound, but all the officers and soldiers present heard this soft sound......

Because it was so quiet, 10,000 people stood on the outskirts of Gotak City, and it was dark and oppressive, and there was no sound.

The herald waved small colored flags and waved various flags. Suddenly, there was a tremor from the earth, and the five magic crystal cannons roared in unison, and a low roar soared into the sky.

Arroyo Konstantin stood suspended in the air, the oak staff in his hand exuding a colorful brilliance, and a faint halo of light enveloped the small city of Gotak.

There was a light in the sky that was brighter than the sun, followed by a series of "crackling" thunders.

"It's on!" Xuan Qingyi looked up at the flame on the shield and said, "Can Master Konstantin really resist the coalition artillery on his own?"

"I believe Grandpa!" said Ruinon, approvingly.

"We have to trust Arroyo Constantine, but we have to be prepared to rotate at any time. With that, Jerry began to meditate.

"How's it going?

"The magic barrier shows no signs of loosening!"

"What?" Gerard roared as he clung to his telescope and into the communications brazier, "Arroyo Constantine is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Father, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through this barrier even at night!, shouldn't we send griffin knights to attack and bomb and break the defense?" Vlad stepped forward and suggested.

"No, it's not time yet. Gerald took a deep breath and said, "You see, although Gotak City has been suppressed by our artillery fire, it has no power to fight back. But the barrier remained untouched, the walls were intact, and the crossbowmen and crossbowmen arranged at the head of the city were unscathed. Isn't it a live target to dispatch griffon knights in such a situation?"

"What then?"

"Just wait!at least until their magician rotation...... Only in this way can the space of local magicians be limited to the greatest extent. ”

Vlad nodded, his lips pursed as he gazed anxiously at the high walls of Gotak.

Gotak City didn't even have the slightest power to fight back, just after each round of magic crystal cannon attacks, Konstantin would withdraw the barrier, and the walls of the city suddenly roared loudly, thousands of sharp arrows with a whistling whistle towards the coalition army, and several flaming flints fell from the sky in a rain of arrows. But this firepower is really nothing compared to the coalition forces.

Under the protection of the coalition magicians, after several rounds of offensive and defensive battles, the forward positions of the coalition forces were not greatly damaged, but the walls of Gotak City were greatly breached.

With Gerald's order, the coalition forces charged the city of Gotak. For a time, the war drums roared in unison, and the coalition forces discharged a scattered formation, holding shields, driving rushing cars, holding ladders, and under the cover of powerful firepower, they rushed towards Gotak City like an ant colony out of their nests.

General Steve stood tall above the city, he didn't dodge in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets of the coalition army, drew his sword and pointed forward, and an astonishing energy erupted from his thick chest, "Arrows!"

"Ho!" As General Steve gave the order, the garrisons above the city walls showed their weapons and sprinkled a rain of death on the enemy troops swarming below, and in an instant the ground was dyed with a blinding rose.

"Second team, up!" the commander gave the death order, and the soldiers knew that there was no return to this line, but they were loyal and moved forward without hesitation.

On the walls of Gotak, Konstantin put down his staff and gasped, and said, "Anne......"

"Do you want to be replaced?"

"No...... I...... Please, your ......"

"It's already good. Anne Field handed Konstantin a crystal ball that shimmered with colorful brilliance.

"No, I really can't spare it right now, so I'll give it to Erica...... Then assist me ......"

"Erica has arrived. Anne grinned and said, "Leave it to us here! ”

Konstantin let out a long sigh and said, "It's fine. Erica, help me bring the crystal ball back. ”

"I'm not a kid anymore!" said Erica, huffing, "I'm going to fight with Sister Anne." Grandpa, let's go back and rest!"

"Then it's decided. Look, master, the second wave of the coalition offensive is coming. Anne gestured to the crowd that had swarmed down the city.

Looking at the wave after wave of offensive of the coalition forces, Arroyo Constantine shook his head helplessly. He staggered down the wall with his back bent.

"Grandpa doesn't look in good spirits!" Erica looked at Arroyo Constantine with a worried expression.

"Master Konstantin, he should be tired, and he has been carrying the magic crystal cannon bombardment for almost an afternoon...... No matter how strong a mage is, he will be exhausted. After speaking, Anne thought silently: But for him, the mental labor is greater than the physical work, right?

Back at the makeshift command post, Konstantin sat down in his chair with his ass slumped, his blank eyes staring at the dusty ceiling.

"Grandpa, is there a shift change? You should have sent someone to inform us in advance. Ruinon said anxiously.

"No, Erica and Anne have already gone. ”

"What? It's not our turn yet......" Rainon and Jerry grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"War is not a game, and you can rest at ease before it is your turn to fight. Xuan Qingyi sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Konstantin put the crystal ball in his palm and stared at it for a long time.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

"Video Crystal...... Anne's ...... recorded by the air elemental sensing The light of the crystal ball dissipated, and Konstantin stood up and said, "There is something I need to trouble you. Do you know where to find Van Keff Paul on the road?"
