At this moment, in addition to the desperate rush of cannon fodder under the city, the soldiers of the 1st Seaside Field Infantry Regiment standing on the city wall were also nervous.

Seeing the enemy's rapid advance and coming to the city wall in a blink of an eye, and putting long and heavy ladders on the city wall, the soldiers' hands holding weapons were trembling, and it was only after the reminders of the officers that they remembered to throw large stones and heavy objects off the city wall, and smashed the enemy below into a burst of crying father and mother.

Normally, in a defensive battle of a city, the defending side should place ranged troops on the city walls, which can not only increase the range, but also shoot soldiers with siege equipment at a long-range point when the enemy rushes to the city. But the Shenlong Pass is different, the east and west walls of the pass are not long, less than a kilometer in length, even if the archers are full, there is no way to prevent so many enemies from approaching, if the enemy kicks on the city wall, then with the melee ability of the archers, the city wall is difficult to keep, so Mu Sen arranged the archers in the city, and the defense of the city wall is all responsible for the melee troops.

There wasn't much space on the city walls, and there weren't many places to pile up rolling logs and stones, so it didn't take long for the logs and boulders on the walls to run out, and they had to hold their shields and hold their weapons tightly, standing in front of ladders and waiting for the enemy to climb up and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

It should be explained here that the stones and logs that had just been dropped were all thrown in some designated areas, and did not block the angle of fire of the ballistas in the bunker below the city walls.

When the ladders were already full of enemies, the officers instructed the soldiers to pour buckets of fire oil down, pouring the enemy all over his face and soaking his body with the oil. Before the enemies who had already climbed the ladder could react, torches fell from the city walls and ignited the oil-soaked enemies along with the ladder.

The light of the fire rose and tore through the darkness, bringing the light back to the earth. It also takes away one fresh life after another.

Newman stood on the gentle slope and watched all this quietly, showing no pity for the soldiers who had been burned and shot with bows and arrows, for he was used to seeing them and knew that this was an inevitable loss in siege warfare. Looking at the fallen soldiers, Newman silently calculated in his heart, he was calculating the enemy's material reserves, such as fire oil, such as feather arrows, and the physical strength of those archers.

At this time, there were already two more old men around Newman, who were gray in hair, but their eyes were bright and bright. One of them was an old man in a red magic robe. Looking at the dense defenders on the city wall and his own soldiers who had already rushed to the city, he proposed: "Commander Newman, if Dunbar and I go over now and unleash two large magic spells to empty the enemy on the wall, then our soldiers will be able to occupy the wall." ”

The other old man nodded and said, "Yes, with the strength of me and Doyle, we are absolutely sure that it will be useful." ”

Newman turned around and replied in a kind tone: "I absolutely believe in the strength of the two, but the two are not familiar with the war, and the main battle force on the city wall is not the seaside. Even if you make a move, we won't be able to take the walls. ”

Doyle was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Newman smiled and said, "Our logistics soldiers are no match for the enemy's hoplites, and the enemy's heavy weapons have not been used, which means that they have other backs. And not worried about our people ascending the walls. Two, I think you should save your mana, and then it's time for you to make a move. By the way, I'm going to have to ask you for a favor. It is said that the lord of the seaside province is an excellent magician, and if he makes a move, he will ask two to suppress and intercept him. ”

Doyle smiled disdainfully and said, "I've heard of that guy." It is said that the spiritual power is far beyond ordinary people, but I also know that the lord has been full for less than two years since he began to learn magic, and in such a short time, no matter how talented he is, he is at most a junior magician, with the strength of Dunbar and me, no matter who fights against him, it is more than enough. ”

Newman felt that what the two magicians said was very reasonable, but out of caution, he still tactfully instructed: "I can absolutely trust the strength of the two, but the two of them still have to be careful, because I don't know how many masters there are in the coastal province, for the safety of the two."

Before Newman could finish speaking, Newman, Dunbar, and Doyle were startled at the same time, and almost simultaneously released their magic shields and body protection fighting qi, because just now, the three of them sensed danger at the same time.

The three Newman tried their best to defend as fast as they could, and before they could find the source of the danger, they felt that the sky above them suddenly lit up, and silver-white lightning slashed down, and the target was where the three of them were.

Newman reacted very quickly, one turned to dodge the first lightning chain that slashed at him, shouted to be careful, and then rolled on his side, dodging the electric sparks from the lightning chain.

Doyle and Dunbar are not slow to react, the two of them are not as good at dodging thunder and lightning as Newman, but they are magicians who have been practicing for many years, and they have mastered the use of magic. Because of the suddenness of the incident, the two magicians were each hit with a thunder chain after releasing their magic shields, but they were resisted by their powerful magic shields.

The two arrogant magicians were very angry after being attacked by the sneak attack, and when they saw three more thunder chains falling from the sky, the two of them released two primary magic spells as fast as possible to intercept them.

However, when their magic collided with the opponent's magic, it was not completely dispersed, and there was still a small section of the thunder chain coming towards them, the two magicians showed surprised expressions, and after resisting with their magic shields, they raised their heads and looked at the dark night sky vigilantly, and Newman, who had dodged the attack of the thunder chain, also looked at the sky with a wary face.

With the eyes of the three of them, through the faint light of the crescent moon, they clearly saw two huge figures flapping their wings towards the west, and disappeared into the night after a while.

Newman asked suspiciously, "What were those two just now, and why did they attack us?"

Doyle frowned and said: "It should be a flying demonic beast, and the level is not low, it should have just been promoted to the intermediate level not long ago, but I don't know what kind it is, as for why it attacked the three of us, then I don't know." ”

Dunbar looked around at the night sky and said worriedly, "I don't know if those two things will come back, they really scared me just now." ”

Newman frowned, he vaguely felt that this matter was not simple, looking at the city that had entered hand-to-hand combat, Newman felt that the two flying demonic beasts should be related to the Seaside Province, but then shook his head and denied his conjecture. Because on the current continent, flying demonic beasts are rare, and with the limit of human ability, it is no longer possible to fly into the sky to fight against those flying demonic beasts, so it is even more difficult to capture and domesticate flying demonic beasts, even the efforts of the Eternal Empire for so many years have not succeeded, let alone this small seaside province.
