The Reaper Squad is simply a role model for the entire Fort de Mars!

Even Xia Xu couldn't stop appreciating, this is the honor of the Death Squad!

What is Death?!

Or the Seven Emperors.

Whoever sees death once.

and they will be killed.

Those who kill themselves and hang themselves.

It's all bewitched by this demon!

This is the Grim Reaper!

The concept of death is to harvest life!

"My duty is to destroy, cold and ruthless!

I take my soul, whether I am old or young!"

The god of death in ancient legends is the old ruler named "Law", who separated the soul fragment "Asura" of "fear", but this move accidentally led to the birth of ghosts and gods, causing the world to be flooded!

After sealing the Asuras, the Shinigami created the Death Warrior Period to train human craftsmen and weapons, leading them to maintain the balance of the world!

The powerful god of death, the god of destruction, life and death in the universe, and the god of sleep Hypnos are twin brothers.

He's the god of death with silver hair and pupils!

Compared to Hypnos, he has an arrogant and strong personality and is arrogant.

He resides in the temple of the Pure Land of Bliss, where Tanatos usually sings with beautiful fairies and enjoys its elegant pleasures!

No matter how far away he is, he can take any life from him completely! Even if he doesn't do it, the life he thinks of will surely die.

Like their twin brother Hypnos, they are both close associates of the Immortal King and possess very powerful divine powers!

Fangs worship the Grim Reaper, so he insists on naming his team the Grim Reaper!

As a life form with a high concentration of spirit sons, the god of death has more ability than other gods, and the vitality is directly proportional to the level of their own spiritual power. Ordinary people who don't have spiritual power can't feel their existence, but the Grim Reaper can act in the human world by entering the "righteous corpse", so that ordinary people can see them!

High-level spells that are only used by the Grim Reaper are used to heal, assist attacks, or contain opponents, etc., and the offensive ghost path is called "Breaking the Road", and the higher the level, the more difficult and powerful it is to use. The ghost path used for defense, capture, and tracking is called "tie path".

The healing of ghosts is called "huidao". In order to cast the Onido, the Grim Reaper must recite the name of the Onido and the spell it summons. However, healing ghosts and some special ghosts can be used without reciting spells. Some powerful Grim Reapers, too, can discard the chanting spell and send out the ghost path directly.

Abandoning chanting means that you can use the ghost path without going through the spiritual process, and you can play better in the timing of the battle. However, it will weaken the power of a certain ghost path according to the quality of the individual ghost path and the difficulty of the ghost path. The latter chant is specially applied to the ghost path by abandoning the chanting method, and strengthening the power of the ghost path after abandoning the chanting. In addition, there are also non-Grim Reaper spirits who have learned the ghost path of the Grim Reaper through self-study, and even developed their own unique ghost path!

Fangs have been studying in this direction, he knows that although he is a demon hybrid, he is also very powerful on the whole, but the number of demon hybrids is also very large in the Longchen Continent! Fang Fang doesn't want to be in an embarrassing position where they both know the roots, so he wants to develop more powerful abilities and abilities, so he targets the Grim Reaper!

Also destruction!

Now, Fangs has developed an ability about the Grim Reaper!

That's extradition!

The Grim Reaper extradited the general soul to the corpse soul realm!

During the burial of souls, the Grim Reaper will use the end of the hilt of a knife to tap the forehead of the spirit, causing a Chinese character mark with the words "Lord of Death" to appear on their foreheads, and will give them a numbered ticket when they arrive at Soul Street. After that, the whole soul that is buried by the soul will turn into a black butterfly and fly to the corpse soul realm. In addition, when the god of death performs a soul burial, he must be careful to control his own strength, otherwise the spirit will feel abnormal pain at the moment of the soul burial.

There is also an ability, which is purification!

The Grim Reaper extradited the void to the Corpse Soul Realm!

When performing the purification procedure, the Grim Reaper must slash through the Void's body in order to extradite the Void to the Corpse Soul Realm. Since most of the Void Hordes evolved from the souls of living beings, the Grim Reaper usually used to use the Slasher to pierce the Void's head from the back of the Void, so as not to see the human form beneath the Void Mask. However, if the void that was deeply sinful in life was pierced through the body by the slashing sword, not only would it not be able to cross to the corpse soul realm, but it would also be dragged into hell by the will of hell. And there have also been exceptions to the use of death to purify oneself in order not to harm the object of one's attention in life!

Obviously, Fangfang also wants to comprehend the mystery, he wants to comprehend the mystery of death!

It's very difficult, it's hard to get to the sky!

Because in order to comprehend the mystery, we must first achieve spiritual pressure sealing!

A bracelet-like seal that can be installed in a special ghost path. If the seal is placed on the front of the opponent's limbs, the subject will be unable to circulate smoothly in the body due to the blockage of its own spiritual power, which will cause self-combustion!

Regarding the seal of the god of death, Fang Fang also specially asked Xia Xu for the source spell of all this!

Xia Xu, of course, knows everything!

Flags waving everywhere,

The bluff seems to be like a thousand troops.

How many times has this been?

However, at this moment, the water on the river - the people

A calm answer was given.

Sleet and sleet, wind blowing leaves.

Where the wind and rain blow,

The heaven and earth of the night are condensed.

The footsteps of pedestrians gradually approached,

The feet stepped together.

Oh, go home with the Grim Reaper who is not the Grim Reaper,

What could be better than this gift!

This spell compares the death of the Grim Reaper to a gift!

It can be seen that it is cruel and indifferent!

Sleep is a gentle, human-friendly god, while death is cold and brutal, which is mainly a further conception of sleep and death by later poets and artists.

In addition, people completely separate death from sleep in a less than friendly way, or imagine the cruel Grim Reaper as a very terrifying goddess!

Today's fangs have mastered many exercises related to death!

Reaper's Scythe: Become a Reaper to harvest enemy souls and deal magic damage, and the Reaper is immune to all damage and control during the release of Reaper's Scythe!

Ball of Darkness: Unleashes the power of the Grim Reaper, dealing magic damage and draining a certain amount of energy from enemies!

Hypnosis: Hypnotizes an enemy, making it unable to move or attack.

Dark Force: The embodiment of death, increasing its strength.

All these exercises are enough for Fangs to deal with an entire team on his own!

The soul that is loyal to the god of death is the messenger of annihilation, the immortal soul.

I have never seen its terrifying figure, and I have heard its ghostly elegy first.

The living fear the spirits of the undead who will never be able to transcend life, but the Grim Reaper sees only beauty and purity in the presence of the undead, which is the perfect fusion of life and death.

When the soul is reborn from the Shadow Isle, he is determined to serve as an apostle of the undead and bring the joy of death to all mortals!!

Every member of the Grim Reaper Squad is also a fanatic!

They worship Xia Xu, and they also worship fangs!

Of course, they knew that Xia Xu's exercises they couldn't learn by themselves, and they weren't qualified to learn them!

So these members of the Grim Reaper team turned to Fang's command and learned to comprehend the mystery of Death!

Many of them also began to believe in death!

Of course Xia Xu doesn't care about this, only these people are willing to be loyal to themselves, so whatever they believe in, it's okay!

Because Xia Xu himself is also a good friend of the Grim Reaper!

Xia Xu kills like hemp!

Killing demons is also like hemp!

And the gods of the heavens!

In the battlefield outside the sky, the demon race, the human race, the demon race, and the demon race died in the hands of Xia Xu, tens of thousands!

Therefore, Xia Xu also represents death in a certain aspect!

Fanged Reaper Squad, that's it!

In addition, due to the envy of the other troops for the Grim Reaper team, Xia Xu also saw it, so he began to reintegrate all the troops!

Especially with the influx of military and civilians in cities such as the City of Hope and the City of the Future, it is also very convenient for Xia Xu to integrate!

While the God of War Castle was moving by itself, all the soldiers and civilians in the castle were doing their own thing under Xia Xu's arrangement!

Even, some people have already understood the meaning of the castle!

This person is the former general who defended the city, Chi Wenliang!

Ever since he saw the castle, he had fallen silent!

Castles, too, have mysteries!

The heyday of castle construction was a period of constant wars between the nobles for land, food, livestock, and population, and the intensive wars led to the construction of more and more castles and larger castles to defend their territories.

Since the Stone Age, people have been using fortifications and civil engineering. Before the first century, there had never been a real castle for the demon clan. However, due to the invasion of the demons and the formation of too scattered feudal political forces, thousands of castles spread all over the human race, and there were more than 10,000 castles in their heyday.

In the process of development, the architectural art of the castle has mainly formed two representative styles. Romanesque vs. Gothic.

The castle architecture gives the impression of rising upwards. The whole building has almost no walls, and between the main surface of the skeleton is a tall and large window, and the internal skeleton structure of this kind of building is naked with vertical lines and sharp scrolls, making its interior wide, tall and bright; for the Gothic sense of ascension, it can make people have a strange feeling of reverence in the psyche, and will cause a sense of spiritual collision and piety. This was very conducive to the expression of religious themes, so it was widely used in churches, and the castle's use of Gothic architecture was entirely due to its beauty. The sophistication of the Gothic castle also lies in its lavish interiors, which are mainly reflected in these two points - glass mosaic windows and sculptures. Glass mosaic windows are an iconic feature of Gothic architecture. As the sun shines through the mosaic windows, the coloured light creates a surprising beauty on the mottled and bizarre walls.

The basic point of castle defense is to expose the besiegers to the highest danger and the most enemies possible, and to minimize the risks to the defenders. A well-designed castle can be effectively defended for a long time with a small number of troops. Having a strong defense allows the defender to hold on to the advantage of being well supplied until the besieger is driven back by the army that came to relieve the siege, or the attacker is forced to evacuate if they are depleted of ammunition and disease. The castle contains the following defenses!

A fortress is a small castle, usually compounded inside a large castle. The main function of the fortress is to be used for defense, and it is usually defended by the subjects of the castle. If the outer city is attacked by an enemy, the defenders can be scattered into the fortress as a final defense. In many famous castle cases, this composite structure was built from the fortress and was originally the fortification of the site. Over time, the complex will gradually expand to include the outer walls and arrow towers to serve as the first line of defense for the fort.

Stone walls are fireproof and resistant to attacks from arrows and other projectiles, making it impossible for enemies to climb steep walls without equipment such as ladders and siege towers. Defenders at the top of the walls can shoot arrows downward or throw objects at the besiegers. The besiegers were thus completely exposed to open space, and were at a disadvantage when shooting upwards compared to the defenders, who had the advantage of strong protection and shooting downwards. If a wall is built on a cliff or other high cliff, its effectiveness and defensive value will be greatly increased. The gates and entrances to the walls will be reduced as much as possible to provide greater defense.

Arrow towers were built on the corners or walls of the city at regular intervals to serve as a fortified stronghold. The tower protrudes from the level wall, allowing defenders in the tower to shoot in the direction the wall is facing. The arrows at the corner of the city allow the defenders to expand the direction of their attacks and shoot at different angles. The Arrow Tower allows the defenders to defend the gates from all sides. Several castles started as simple turrets and were later expanded into larger composite castles with walls, internal forts, and additional turrets.

Walls and turrets are constantly strengthened to provide greater protection for defenders. A platform behind the top of the wall allows defenders to stand and fight. A pass above the wall allows defenders to shoot outwards or partially cover up during battle. These passes can be added with wooden flaps for additional protection. Narrow firing ports can be set up in the city walls, allowing archers to be completely protected when firing.

During an attack, a wooden platform protrudes from the top of a wall or turret, allowing defenders to shoot directly at enemies outside the walls, and if they come prepared, defenders can drop stones or boiling liquids at them. The wooden platform hidden above would keep it moist to prevent fire, and the stone arches that had a similar function were called moats and were placed above the gates or other important strongholds.

To accentuate the height of the walls, a trench was dug at the base of the wall, surrounding the entire castle and filling the trench with running water as much as possible to create a moat. Trenches and moats make it more difficult to attack walls directly. If an armored soldier falls into the water, he can easily drown, even if the water is shallow. The presence of the moat also makes it more difficult for enemies to dig tunnels under the castle, as diggers can easily drown in the moat's water if the tunnels collapse during the excavation. In some siege cases, the besiegers would try to drain the water from the moat before attacking, then fill in the dry moat, and then use siege towers or ladders to storm the walls.

It can be crossed over moats or moats, making it easy for the castle's inhabitants to get in and out when they need to. In times of crisis, the drawbridge would be hoisted to restore the function of the trench and close the walls. The drawbridge was lifted by machinery inside the castle to protect it from the siegers.

Gates are sturdy fences that sit on the passage of the gates and can be lowered if necessary to block the doorways. The castle's gate was a gatehouse with an interior space, which was a fortified stronghold for the castle's defense. The gatehouse could be reached through a tunnel from the passage of the city gates. In the middle or at both ends of the tunnel, there will be one or more layers of gates. The rolling mechanical action can be used to lift or lower the gate above the gatehouse for solid protection. The gates themselves were usually heavy wooden or iron fences, with defenders and siegers shooting or stabbing on either side of the gates.

A fortified castle has an outer gate and an inner gate, and the open area between the two gates is called the outer fort. It was surrounded by walls and was designed to be used to trap intruders who passed through the outer gates. Once the besiegers reached the outer fort, they had no choice but to retreat through the outer gates or continue their attacks on the inner gates, often becoming targets for bows and arrows and other projectile weapons.

In times of peace, only a few soldiers are needed to defend the castle. At night, all the drawbridges are hoisted and the gates are lowered to close the doorways. Under the threat of siege, it is natural that more troops will be needed to defend the castle.

When the besiegers attacked, or attempted to drain the moat, or fill in the trenches, they needed to have enough archers and crossbowmen to shoot at the besiegers from the walls or turrets. As long as an attack causes casualties, it can demoralize the besiegers and reduce their combat strength. If you can fire with a projectile weapon and deal a heavy blow to the besiegers, you are more likely to drive them away.

If the besiegers engage in close hand-to-hand combat, they will need strong swordsmen to fight them. Soldiers must drop stones or pour boiling liquids from platforms, and must also repair damaged walls or throw flames at enemies with burning projectile weapons. Active defenders will look for opportunities to storm out of the castle and surprise the besieging army. A quick raid can mainly burn siege towers or trebuchets under the walls to delay the siege and demoralize the besiegers.

In times of crisis, local peasants would be called up for service. Although they are not trained in bows and swords, they can take on many other tasks.

In the late Middle Ages, the proliferation of castles and fortified towns, as well as their strategic location, made the occupation or defense of a stronghold a military activity commonplace. Although the castle was defended by a small force, the besiegers needed a larger army than the defenders to capture it. For the latter requires a large army to control the countryside around the castle, to repel the troops who have broken the siege, to directly attack the stronghold or to besiege it. These are extremely draining actions.

When the enemy forces approached the castle, the local inhabitants generally retreated to the castle with their valuables, especially food and weapons. But if the lord thought that the siege would last long, the peasants who could not participate in the battle were kept out so as not to consume food. There are many historical records of civilians being thrown out of towns during sieges to maintain food stocks.

But Fort Mars is different, it's huge, and it moves!

This is all due to the top architect Liu Zhixin!

Therefore, Chi Wenliang actually comprehended the mystery of the castle in this aspect!

His realm has also directly reached the first realm overlord!

When the enemy forces approach people and groups that are likely to surrender, especially if there are heavy casualties in castles or towns, negotiations will be concluded immediately. If negotiations fail, the besiegers will prudently reassess the likelihood of a raid on a stronghold, and if the assault is judged to be too dangerous, the besiegers will blockade the castle and begin a siege. As soon as the siege began, artillery fire was fired on the city, and the siege began. If the besiegers retreat without justification, it is often seen as an unacceptable disgrace.

Engagement facts show that castles and towns are rarely captured by surprise. Assaults are usually reckless attacks, and are more likely to succeed when launched through treachery or covert operations. Unless the defenders are very weak, assaults tend to result in significant losses. Usually the besiegers will carefully arrange the siege according to the important rules of the engagement and the loyalty of the defending army, and try to minimize the losses of the siege. If the defenders are allowed to defect and surrender, they will be spared the battle of the attack and the destruction of the walls. If the lord of the castle is not in the city, and the commander of the castle, who is called the castle warden or supervisor, can surrender without harming his honor. Castle wardens would usually ask for a deed clearly stating their responsibilities, in which case they would not be punished for surrendering.

Only in rare cases do the castle warden choose to surrender or despise such an option. In some cases, the besiegers will not be tolerant of the people in the castle after a successful assault, slaughtering the city's rank-and-file soldiers and even civilians, and sacking the castle or town. Captured knights are usually not killed, as they can be exchanged for ransom. All siegers will be distributed to the loot. This method was used at the appropriate time after a siege to induce the defenders to negotiate surrender. 1

The greatest difficulty in capturing a castle or fortified town is overcoming the walls that are used to prevent enemy forces from forcing in. One way to solve this problem is to dig the bottom of the wall to make it collapse, and the premise is that the castle must not have a moat or drain the moat first. If the foundations of the walls were rock-solid, this would not work.

Once the strategy of digging a corner is adopted, the attacker will dig a tunnel to the wall and follow it to the bottom of the wall. The tunnel would be supported by wooden piles, and then the bottom earth that supported the foundations of the walls would be dug out and removed, and replaced with wooden piles to support it. The wooden piles in the tunnel were later set on fire as originally planned. If everything goes according to plan, the walls will collapse due to lack of support when the wooden stakes used to support the weight of the walls are gradually burned. The collapsed part of the wall will create a gap for the besieging army to attack the castle directly.

Digging tunnels is tiring and time-consuming. Defenders may be alert to the presence of the tunnel and build a second wall to defend against it in case the safety of the wall is threatened, so that a gap is not completely exposed when the outer wall collapses. The defenders also know how to counter the tunnel tactic, which is to dig a tunnel of their own at the base of the wall and try to intercept the enemy's tunnel. When two tunnels meet each other, an underground war is triggered.

The besieging army will set up appropriate positions to surround the castle to prevent the soldiers in the city from escaping or breaking through. Siegers will also take control of nearby farmland and villages, and set up patrols to gather all the information about the opposing reinforcements and gather food. The besieger's commander will review the situation and decide whether to lay siege to that part of the castle or prepare an effective attack. If the castle surrenders due to running out of food, the besiegers will concentrate the defenders and prevent any siege from being encircled by force.

These defensive measures, as well as other disadvantages, the top architect Liu Zhixin have all considered it thoroughly, and his engineering drawings are full of dense explanations!

Because Chi Wenliang understood the mystery of the castle, he was specially approved to enter the command room to observe Liu Zhixin's drawings!

The drawings clearly indicate a series of measures to be taken by other armies in the event of a siege!

Deciding on the best siege method involves a few of the following options:

Dig the base of the city walls.

- Select the part of the wall you want to destroy, then throw stones at it (or use artillery.) Until 1450, near the end of the Middle Ages, the effectiveness of artillery remained insufficient).

Select the part of the trench (or moat) that you want to fill in.

- Build siege towers and ladders to storm the walls.

Choose a gate or other part to ram to impact.

The speed at which the assault is prepared is proportional to the urgency of the castle, the expected time of surrender, and the number of labors available. If the besiegers were well fed, would not be subjected to the force of relief, and the defenders would be likely to surrender once their honor had been satisfied, preparations for the assault would have been slower than it seemed. If the besiegers are short of supplies, if the force to break the siege is ready to come, or if the defenders are very tenacious, preparations will be carried out day and night.

After completing the preparations, the besiegers will give the defenders one last chance to surrender before the assault.

Siege equipment was used to cross the walls and other defenders of the castle, allowing the superior strength of the attacking force to attack the defenders with minimal casualties. Much of the equipment is designed to ram or destroy walls. In addition to simple ladders, the most commonly used siege equipment in the Middle Ages included giant trebuchets, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming vehicles, and large shields.

As soon as the walls were breached or the siege towers were in place, the soldiers who volunteered to go into battle would launch a surprise attack. Such troops are known for their "bleak anticipation" because they are all ready for casualties. However, those who manage to survive in this type of unit will be rewarded with the highest rewards in terms of promotions, titles, and loot.

Giant trebuchets are large catapults that are enhanced by heavy weights (usually large bags of stones). The long throwing arm of the trebuchet is loaded with boulders at one end and pulled downward with a large number of weights. When the throwing arm is released, the throwing arm will bounce upwards due to the sudden loss of gravity, causing the boulder to be violently projected in a high arc trajectory. Projectiles thrown from this weapon will fall rapidly, ideally to smash the top of the turret, defensive equipment, and platforms. Unless the projectile hits the top of the wall, it is difficult to destroy the vertical wall with a giant trebuchet alone. If the giant trebuchet is not covered by a bow and arrow, it may be discovered and destroyed by the defenders after breaking through. The Giant Trebuchet is best used to smash wooden roofs, and can shoot burning rubble along with projectiles used to set fires.

Trebuchets are not the same as giant trebuchets in that their power is exerted by ropes or strips of leather. It uses gears to twist the rope to create a pull, and when it is released, the rotating rope throws the throwing arm out. When the throwing arm hits the bulky curb cross, the projectile placed in the basket at the end of the throwing arm will be thrown. Containment Henggong can be adjusted to change the projectile's trajectory. Compared to the Giant Trebuchet, the Trebuchet's trajectory is relatively flat and can produce the same power. The intensive fire of the trebuchet is capable of causing great damage to the city walls. In addition, projectiles and fragments of the collapsed walls helped fill in the trenches, and the piles of rubble they created provided for siegers to climb into the city.

The besieger will move the siege tower closer to the wall, and lower a ladder from the top of the tower to the top of the wall, so that the soldiers in the tower can rush out of the ladder and engage the defenders in hand-to-hand combat. Each siege tower is huge, protected from flames by moist hides. Due to its heavy weight, it moves slowly, so it is erected on a stake with pulleys and moved forward in a push-pull manner to bring it close to the base of the wall. When pushing and pulling, the ground in front of you must be prepared in advance, and thick wooden planks are usually laid on the muddy ground as a road surface to facilitate movement. When the siege tower is close to the castle, the archers will fire their bows and arrows from the battle zone at the top of the tower, and as soon as it is close to the wall, the soldiers inside the tower will step on the wall from the steps inside the tower. Assaults from inside siege towers will never surprise defenders, as there will be plenty of time to prepare for the enemy when the siege tower movement is imminent. Defenders will walk to the most threatened part of the wall, or prevent the ladder from being lowered. When a siege tower approaches, the defender will attempt to grab it and try to push it away. At the final moment of the assault, the Siege Engineer would fire on the attackable portion of the wall to distract the defenders from preparing for the assault. If the first group of siegers were to be knocked down from the tower, a steady stream of soldiers would pour out from behind the ladder to complete the task of capturing the castle.

The crash car has a large wooden stake with an iron head on the pile that swings back and forth inside the cover and crashes into the wall or gate. After hitting the wall, the stake will swing back and continue to ram the wall. This force can break through gates or stone walls made of thick planks, opening a gap that can be attacked. The top of the crash car is covered with wet hides to prevent the flames from burning away. In fact, operating ramming equipment is a very dangerous task, as defenders can throw boulders, boiling water, or burning grease onto ramming vehicles from above in an attempt to damage or kill soldiers in operation. Even if the gate or drawbridge is destroyed, there may still be several gates and gatehouses behind that need to be charged.

The archers and crossbowmen of the besieging side were on the ground covered by large wooden shields, which were called large shields. There is a narrow embarrage above the shield that allows soldiers to shoot at defenders from behind. It was while watching these large shields that the English king Lion Psycho I was shot in the shoulder with a crossbow, causing fatal injuries.

Since its first construction, fifteen or six fires and damage from its own collapse, the Carolingian-style church, named the Church of Our Lady below, is the oldest surviving part of the church of St. Michel.

He dreamed of building the castle into a fairytale world. The white castle is perched high on a hill and surrounded by mountains and lakes, so the scenery varies throughout the year. Approaching the castle of Neuschwanstein, you can see that Neuschwanstein Castle is unparalleled in terms of its intricate shape and harmony with the Alpine scenery in the background.

It is characterized by the freedom of shape, the pursuit of dynamic effects, the preference for rich decoration and carving, as well as strong colors, and the common interspersed curves and oval spaces. The dome and the traditional French spire architectural style, with a flat roof, appear upright and majestic. At the upper end of the outer wall of the palace, there are marble statues, which are beautiful and lifelike.
