Chapter 594: The Strength of the Roman World
Sido's obedience did not please the short female samurai, and despite the servant's bitter expression, her attention returned to the black man in front of her, and she asked curiously and unceremoniously in a strange tone, "This distinguished guest, where are you from?"
Zhang Lisheng opened his mouth and was about to answer with words, when he suddenly listened to the long companion beside the short female warrior, looked at himself carefully, and said: "Okay, Anadan, since it is a distinguished guest invited by the famous Manloff Cavalry Commander, there will be no problem, don't be rude." β
"Is it rude to ask where you came from, Satto, you've been in Wodorf for too long, and your heart has grown moreβ" The short female warrior touched her burr-like head, and was about to say something more, when she was choked by a loud brass whistle from the sky.
After the whistle, a roar spread throughout the high platform, "Enemy attack, enemy attack, it's the 'Night Seat Bat' and the 'Poisonous Sour Sparrow', the night general Lord Odoge ordered all the riding beasts to withdraw from the main square, quickly, quickly."
Strong crossbow team, strong crossbow team get ready, anoint the crossbow wheels..."
As the brass whistle and roar sounded staggered, the already hurried movements of the servants on the stone platform sped up several times in an instant, and even the sergeants in armor began to help regardless of their status, leading the beast to avoid the gap where they landed, and at the same time, the samurai in the air also began to drive the beast to land in a panic.
"Damn the Silorians, what are they capable of but this vile sneak attack. Looking at the chaotic scene around her, the short female warrior with angry eyebrows standing up no longer bothered to pay attention to Zhang Lisheng and shook her wrist. Holding up a round shield made of soft metal, he galloped towards the nearest frightened bird.
The eldest samurai beside her saw her companion's reckless actions, smiled bitterly and followed closely behind, reminding loudly: "Anadan, what are you going to do, it's an adult 'giant black bird'..."
The trouble was fortunately lifted, but there was no joy on Sido's face on the side, he looked at the rows of soldiers hiding behind the strange iron carts hidden in the shadow of the council hall with worry and envy, sighed and said to the black man who was stunned behind him: "Distinguished guest, let's leave the main square quickly." It's going to be very dangerous right now. β
"Good. Okay Sido, let's go quickly, it's smart to stay away from danger now. Zhang Lisheng nodded in a panic and followed the Tatdu servants to the brightly lit fortress in the distance.
I didn't run a few steps. Zhang Lisheng heard a whistling wind with wings in mid-air. Meanwhile. Accompanied by a sudden and creepy creepy chirp, there was a strange 'poof...' sound like a water balloon bursting.
I couldn't help but run wildly while looking back curiously. He saw thirty or forty pairs of blood-red round eyes floating in the night sky a hundred meters above the high platform, and around those terrifying red eyes, countless fist-sized emerald green long-beaked birds rained down like raindrops.
The little birds and finches descended from the sky and rushed straight to the Tatdu warriors, minions, and their horsemen on the high platform, whether they were killed by a tomahawk, pierced by a bow and arrow, or struck as they wished, and exploded into a cloud of turbid green plasma.
The green flesh emitted a pungent smell of sour rot, and when it adhered to the weapons and armor, it made a 'zizi...' sound, emitting a faint white smoke, burning the metal into patches of black spots;
Hitting the bare flesh of a person will easily corrode large holes, revealing blackened bones, and even the bravest and most well-trained warriors can't help but wail when they are hit like this, and in a short time screams will be heard everywhere on the high platform.
At the same time, the sky began to see Tatdu warriors riding giant birds falling down into a mess of flesh, apparently attacking the ground while those terrible long-beaked birds also attacked the Tatdu warriors who could not land.
"It's really incredible, there can be a cold weapon civilization to start a chemical war close to taming animals, and the combined damage of twenty 'corrosive birds' of these suicide attacks may be comparable to a strong acid bomb.
If it flies high enough and there are enough of them, it is enough to compete with the warships of space civilizations in an intraplanetary war. "Although we know that in the era before the 'great world', the impact of a sparrow on the engine was enough to destroy a large passenger plane, and a flock of small birds flying in the sky could make a group of fighters flee in formation;
Although he had already vaguely guessed the reason why the 'Roman World' was ranked as the third most dangerous level by the Atlanteans, seeing the terrifying scene in front of him, Zhang Lisheng couldn't help but muttered in astonishment.
"Don't be afraid of your guests, when the cavalry in the main square is gone, our ballista will shoot a qiΔ sneak attacker. Sido, who rushed into the main hall of the council, couldn't hear the whisper of the black man behind him, and comforted himself out of breath.
"Yes, Sido, that's great," Zhang Lisheng came back to his senses, stepped into the huge stone gate of the bright fortress, and said pretending to be breathless, "It should be safe here, right?"
These sneak attackers are so despicable, can I see your heroic counterattack?"
"Don't worry, no matter how mad the people of Siloria are, they won't dare to sneak attack the mansion of a territorial viscount, this is tantamount to assassination, and it will anger all the nobles of the Great 6," Sido snorted and said with a happy expression: "If you want to starve and look at our warriors in Tatto, how to punish those despicable sneak attackers, of course."
But if Captain Manloff asks, you have to tell him your own request. β
"Of course, Sido. Zhang Lisheng nodded in shock, "If I weren't a biologist, I wouldn't have stayed here to watch the battle, I'm too curious about those terrifying red eyes in the sky." β
"Those red eyes belong to the Nights," the Tatedu servants shuddered at the mention of the horrible name of the Nights, "and those damned poisonous sour finches attacked us under its command." β
As Sido spoke, the warriors and servants in the distance finally withdrew the surviving riding beasts from the front half of the platform, revealing a wide open space.
At this time, the Tatdu warriors who did not have time to make a forced landing in the air were also dead and wounded, and the long-beaked small finch driven by the sneak attacker no longer appeared, and it should have been also killed and wounded, and the red strange bird hovering in the sky began to flutter its wings and fly high, making a retreating appearance.
"Lord Odog, the night general, has ordered the crossbow team to attack and kill the despicable sneakers who have escaped. Before the sneak attackers could fly away, a furious roar from the high platform sounded the horn of the Tatdu's counterattack, and the giant crossbows with a length of more than ten meters and a height of more than five meters diagonally on the frame were pushed out of the shadows by a team of five sturdy warriors.
The ballista was cast in dark gray metal, and the unknown beast tendons of the 'force' were the thickness of an adult's arm, densely wound around the complex joints of the crossbow body and clamped tightly, and the crossbow arrows in the card slot were not ordinary long-pole bows and arrows, but a sharp metal disc with a thick middle and thin edges like cicada wings.
Rushing to the high platform, the crossbow riders hurriedly adjusted the angle of the frame, each looking for their own target, but after two or three seconds, they scrambled to press the whirl.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."The metal disc that acts as a crossbow arrow shot into the sky like lightning under the catapult of the beast's tendons, and it was only after cutting through the high-flying enemy that it made a sound of breaking through the air, and the firing degree obviously broke through the sound barrier.
And this rapid shooting naturally produced a huge reaction force on the heavy ballista, and even though the five Tattall warriors tried their best to resist, the ballista still rushed back irregularly for hundreds of meters before slowly stopping.
"Using the principle of a slingshot to shoot thousands of kilometers per second, isn't this still against the laws of macroscopic physics, I really don't know who defined the 'Roman World' as a non-capable civilization.
I should have let him see what was happening now..."Looking at the Tatdu warrior who drove the ballista after firing a round, the two red-faced people shook the pulleys on the crossbow;
Two jumped on the ballista and jumped down to press the tendons;
The last person used all his strength to pull the various mechanisms to press the thick beast tendons, and re-place the metal disc in the card slot, Zhang Lisheng muttered silently.
When he couldn't help but sigh, the Tat Ballista soldiers were ready for a second round of attacks, and they roared and flew back to the attack position, launching a new offensive against the fleeing enemy.
After a while, a short but powerful "Boom Boom..."The sound of birds resounded in the sky again, obviously the sneak attacker was paying a heavier and heavier price, hearing this voice, Sido in the door of the main hall of the council breathed a long sigh of relief, and explained proudly to the black man beside him: "No matter how fast the night bat of the Silorian people escapes, they will definitely withstand the four-wheel attack of our Tattdu ballista."
Those ballista warriors who have eaten the gall of the 'Black Feather Serpent' since childhood, have the eyes of a falcon, and can see at night are not comparable to ordinary people, if it weren't for the ballista shooting on the flat ground, they would need a wide enough open space..."
"What a powerful and well-trained soldier, Sido, I am really impressed by the strength of your Tatdu people," Zhang Lisheng interrupted the servant's words in admiration, "Can you inform me to meet Captain Manloff as much as possible, I, well, I have something to say to him." β
"Honorable guest, if I interrupt Captain Manlov's 'military discussion', the only result will be to be guillotined," Sido shook his head with a wry smile, "Now I can only take you to a good meal first, I believe that Captain Manlov will naturally go to see you soon." β
"It's good Sido, a little time buffer, and let me think about it. Zhang Lisheng thought about it, sighed and said, "Then I'll go and fill my stomach first." (To be continued......)
