Chapter 458: Despicable Northlanders
Compared to the calm expressions of the Northland coalition forces who stood up as the attacking side, the Luskan people on the defending side had a much more complicated sense.
In particular, Marshal Kuth escaped from the ascension to heaven under the 'rain of arrows of light' of the legendary dwarf's giant hammer and the elven priestess on the cliff.
Marshal Luskan, who was wrapped in a mummy-like armor, was holding the solid city wall with both hands at the moment, looking at the Northland Coalition army in the wasteland outside Chen Bing's city, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Since the fall of the cliff hill, the whole city of Luskan has become noisy.
The wealthy and wealthy who were able to escape early had already fled to Icefeng Island farther north and even to Icewind Dale north of the Ridge of the World in a smuggling ship that demanded a high price.
Ordinary civilians were recruited in large numbers by the Luskan garrison by various unconventional means to assist in the defense of attacks that might come from the south.
This stain has undoubtedly caused the non-spellcaster faction led by Marshal Kuth to be subjected to tremendous pressure and accountability from the Arcane Brotherhood and even the entire Luskan.
There are even spellcasters who openly impeach Marshal Kuth, and it is very likely that he has been bribed and bribed by the Southern Coalition forces, and secretly fell to those Northlanders.
Otherwise, how can we explain the Cliff Hill Coordination Defense Plan, which has emptied almost half of the entire Luskan Alchemy Ammunition Depot, why did it not even win it for a day before it was declared lost?
And this defeated general actually has the face to come back!
The reason he claimed to be defeated in the Provisional Military Court Council was that the Gnoll Commander of Zelandia had secretly infiltrated the cliff hill and mixed a large amount of energy potions into their meals, causing the entire chain of command to collapse directly.
This answer immediately plunged the Council of Military Tribunals into an unbelievable uproar.
Speaking of energy potions, almost everyone of them had secretly used them, and at the same time, this 'buff potion' from the hands of Drow in the Dark Regions was also one of the sources of the small vaults that many of them had on their waists.
But when have you ever heard that someone still uses this thing to 'poison' it for military purposes?!
That night, in the face of the passionate arguments and accusations of the members of the Brotherhood, the old marshal who had defended the north for Luskan for more than 40 years and had repelled the invasion of the world's spine orcs several times, took off his pants in the disbelief of everyone, revealing his crotch that was still blurry and miserable after playing the mosaic.
As a result, the scene of the provisional military court council, which was originally noisy, instantly became audible.
Because this old marshal, who is over sixty years old, has proved the 'purity' of his camp in a fierce way that completely throws away his self-esteem and face.
The Legendary Warrior's appetite is not even much lower than that of the Ogre...
Due to the excessive intake of energy potions in a short period of time, coupled with the local high blood pressure caused by successive fights with Holtz and the legendary female dwarf.
So our Marshal Kuth ...
He... The carving exploded...
Marshal Kuth, who shed two lines of tears, trembled and looked around at the participants who couldn't bear to look at him sideways, as if he was more sad than dead:
"You arcanists... Isn't it self-proclaimed to pursue the relationship between truth and argumentation?
"You guys, you can take a sample from me right now and take it for testing...
"I'm really... Didn't lie...
"These Northlanders, they are far more wanted, despicable, despicable than they imagined!
"If that's what you're going to do with the Northlanders...
"Hehe... Hahahaha... Hahahaha..."
This was the most absurd military council since the founding of Luskan and thus ended abruptly to the bleak and permeating laughter of Marshal Kuth.
In the face of such a major defeat, the Arcane Brotherhood, which has always been accustomed to violent deterrence, uncharacteristically did not make an immediate punishment, but announced the reinstatement of Marshal Kuth, and all the culpability will be discussed after the war.
Xu is all the participants who have the right to vote, most of them feel... This time, Marshal Kuth really paid too much for Luskan... bar.
But as this absurd defeat spread throughout Luskan, Marshal Kuth's reputation was still inevitably tragic.
What 'no posterior general', 'Marshal of Luskan', 'Blood-stained Kuth' or something.
One can only clearly see that Marshal Kuth has obviously experienced a lot of vicissitudes since that night.
Even the marshal standing at the head of the city at this moment looked a little gloomy.
"There are only about 30,000 of them, most of them are cavalry, and theoretically they should not have the conditions to siege the city. ”
The Lord of the East Tower, Rimador, frowned as he looked at the clearly divided Northland coalition forces outside the city.
"But don't forget that they also have more than two hundred steel golems, and if those steel monsters charge at them in groups, our walls will only be decorations. Another Luskan marshal Balam immediately retorted.
"But their fatal flaws are just as obvious, and I've made the mages memorize the fossil as clay in advance, which can be a good way to restrain their charges. So don't worry, they won't attack the city easily, their fundamental purpose is just to besiege our Luskan in order to force the guild leader to withdraw his troops from Moon Shadow Island to help, as long as we don't give the other side a chance in the next confrontation and attack. ”
Rimador, the lord of the East Tower, seemed to analyze quite confidently, and then asked Marshal Kuth's opinion very kindly:
"What do you think, Kuth?"
"They... It's already called. ”
Kuth looked at the sky with a somewhat confused expression.
"Huh?"
Whether it was Rimador, the Lord of the East Tower, or the others, they were a little confused when they heard Kuth's words.
The other party obviously hasn't moved yet!Shouldn't this guy be because of the small head, so the big head hasn't been easy to use lately, right?
"Look in the sky, lion... Griffin... Lots of griffins!"
The archers on the towers showed their warnings in panic.
"Oh no! our information is wrong, where are there so many griffon knights in the Northlands. The Lord of the East Tower, Rima Do, suddenly said solemnly.
It was the first time he had seen such a large-scale attack from the air after living for so many years.
Soon, the griffons, which seemed to come from the clouds, approached the sky above the city-state and began to swoop.
"Archer, 45-degree angle throw!"
"Spellcaster Squad, Shaping Spell Ready!"
The sound of orders was passed down layer by layer.
But at this moment, Kuth suddenly issued an anxious warning:
"Damn it, these shitty Northlanders!Limado, let your men intercept those black jars!Alchemy explosives!Those are alchemy explosives!"
He didn't say that it was their Luskan alchemy explosives, otherwise these mages would have suffered an instant cerebral hemorrhage and died with a headshot...
But if you let these alchemical explosives be thrown on the city, it will be all over!
Kuth's eyes were clearly not good, and he waited until the griffons approached the city to start attacking, and he realized that the jar that was being dragged by the claws of the monsters was somewhat familiar.
After he finished this warning, the griffons, who were not afraid of the rain of arrows, used their beaks to bite off the arrows that were already powerless to go up, and then began to throw them accurately towards the city under the command of the knights on their backs, making a 'toss, di, di' sound in mid-air.
That's because some of the alchemy explosives themselves were brought by Holtz from Zeelandia, and these 'air-dropped bombs' look similar to those relatively primitive black canisters in Luskan, but at the tail there is a wind-winged device, which is part of the fuse, and the wind-wings will explode on their own after a certain number of turns.
Suddenly hearing this warning, a group of Luskan spellcasters almost vomited blood in anger, you should have said such an important thing in your heart!
But even though the major arteries on the brain were ringing under high pressure, his subordinates were not ambiguous at all, and at the risk of casting spells, they canceled the original spells one after another, and instead used the 'scorching ray' and 'fireball technique' to start sniping the alchemy explosives from above.
Xu is Fei She is also the first time to engage in air raids, they have little experience, and they keep in mind the principle that Li Wei's air raids should not affect civilian areas as much as possible, and they poured their brains on the city wall, and the density of bombs was relatively high.
This also makes Luscan's 'Defensive Spell Block' extremely effective.
For a moment, the fireworks and black dust and smoke at the head of the city of Luskan were densely filled, like thunder and thunder.
And the Luskans soon discovered that the alchemy explosives were much less powerful than they had expected after reacting with the fireballs...
It's like getting damp.
Therefore, even if there were scattered black jars that could not be intercepted and exploded on the top of the city, they did not have a lethal effect, at least not a devastating effect on the structure of the female wall.
This made the Luskan mages who had achieved the first achievement very excited, and their hearts were full of pride:
The one who really influences the situation on the battlefield is still up to their spellcasters.
It's just that the smile in the corner of his eye has just bloomed, and a wisp of black smoke floats in front of him... The smile froze on the spot.
"Oh my God! What does this taste like..."
His face turned red and green uncontrollably, and then he vomited uncontrollably.
The disgusting smell was like a mixture of feces and urine that had been fully fermented for days, and it was enough to ascend to heaven in situ...
"Ahh I'm so dizzy...
"Campas is on top! these despicable Northlanders...
"They're still poisoning the!"
For a while, the entire female wall was filled with black smoke and miasma, and a group of defenders who had not been hit too hard under the bombardment were vomiting loudly.
Some mages want to open their mouths to chant spells and cast spells, but they accidentally inhale a few breaths in a row, and immediately roll their eyes, faint on the ground, and convulsions.
Some militiamen even covered their mouths and noses on the spot and rolled down the steps, if it was usual, such an act of escaping from the battle, eighty percent of them would be beheaded by the overseer knights on the spot.
It's just that at this time, those knights who oversaw the war were too busy to take care of themselves, if it weren't for the honor of the family, I am afraid that they would all have escaped from this stinking ghost place.
"Sandy Crush the Dog!" (Quick Cast Spell)"
With a cry of resentment, the stench of disgust wafting through the air seemed to stop for a moment, and then it was blown away by a violent wind.
Xu was furious and failed to grasp the scale, and the wind was stronger, so many of the militia who were temporarily conscripted were blown into rolling gourds, and even many Luskan defenders who were clinging to the female wall directly fell to the city with a wail.
It's just that even if the wind swept away the suffocating and stinking black fog, the city walls were still in shambles, and there were still bursts of fragrance from the feces and urine of the jackals.
Finally, they coughed wildly and stood up against the wall, and before the filthy words in their mouths could be spit out, they opened their mouths irrepressibly, staring blankly at the more than 200 'giants' that emerged from the horizon at some point...
In the open wilderness outside the city, more than 200 steel golems were seen wearing brown dust-proof canvases and walking slowly in the oblique shadow of the remnant sun.
It's like a team of Titans dressed in brown capes and slowly stepping out of ancient epic mythology.
While they were in a state of confusion, the steel golems seemed to have invaded the casting range of both sides, standing in a semi-arc, then kneeling on one knee, their right arm at thirty-five degrees too high, and a strangely shaped four-hole drum-shaped instrument ejected from their arm, which slowly rotated with a crisp sound of chains and gears.
The end of the barrel emitted a threatening crimson glow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Oh no! activate the Flame Barrier immediately! !! quickly"
Almost as soon as the words of the Lord of the East Tower landed, the front of the multiple metal barrels on the arms of those steel golems suddenly erupted with dazzling light and heat, and countless spell streams similar to scorching rays were thrown out like a storm, leaving scorching trails in the sky.
The Luskan army at the head of the city looked at the rain of fireworks in front of them like the twilight of the doom, and their faces were all pale.
Just when they thought they were going to die, a magical protective force field rose from the city wall.
The scene was like using a starry firework to remove the soap bubbles on the basin, which was beautiful, but extremely dangerous.
In just the two minutes that Sabot Gatling spat wildly, Luscan's Lost Lock Protective Flame Enchantment was scorched several times to change color, and the magic towers on the city's head exploded several times one after another, which was a sign that the Lost Lock Mana Supply Node was overloaded.
Kiss.
I don't know how long it lasted, it was like a silent break, and the layer of confused soap bubbles exploded.
Seeing that the city of Luskan has regained its vision, there are scorching fireworks everywhere and Luskan warriors who are constantly rolling on fire, and many places of the women's wall are like pouring hot oil on them, quickly dissolving, revealing a mottled and unformed wall structure.
But before the stunned Silver Moon Knights could show their joy, the Iron Golem Legion in front of them also heard a clicking sound in the air.
The Gatling metal pipe, which was reddened and smoked and was taller than a person, smashed down with a spare single chain, and embedded itself in the wasteland.
The spell bullet chain is depleted.
"Draw your sword! Zelandia Golem Legion!
A somewhat unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded on the battlefield.
Then, these steel golems, who had squandered their long-range firepower, like silent giants, drew their giant swords from their backs like steel embryos, and began to take roaring steps, following the dazzling diamond golem in the setting sun, and officially launched the siege of Luskan.
Fischer also immediately glanced at Knight Captain Jairo:
"It's time! everyone, take cover for the Iron Golem!
"For Zeellandia!!"
The dragon knights of the ten warbands responded like thunder.
“... For... For the Silver Moon Federation!"
A group of Silver Moon Knights, who had been lying all the way and had not been able to shake off the terrible baptism of force that had just crossed the ages, shouted after realizing it.
Luskan City head.
Others may not know who that voice is, but Rimador, the lord of the East Tower, who had worked with the other party for many years, widened his eyes in disbelief, and then stared at the diamond golem that rushed towards the city gate and gritted his teeth:
"It turned out to be you...
"Cloth, Pull, S, Ka!
"You Luskan traitor!!"
