"What?!" Thomas, who used his office as a temporary headquarters, smashed the table angrily, "The magic casters who finally gathered together were all wiped out like this?!"
"...Yes." Looking at the look of the messenger, Thomas knew that it was impossible for him to make such a false report, but he really hoped that the news was false.
"In the end what happened?"
After Thomas learned about the existence of the terrifying city-attack vehicle, he realized that no matter how many attacks people made, they could not stop it, so he sent some troops out of the city to try to hinder the city-attack vehicle to buy time. At this time, he ordered the mobilization of capable personnel.
The magic caster was found and prepared to attack with magic fire.
Why did all the magic casters suddenly disappear?
"That...that's the enemy's warship. It fired its javelin at this side and knocked down the tower where the magic casters were concentrated."
"I want...to hear more precise facts, not just random reasons!" Thomas felt very helpless. He was indeed not the material to be a commander.
He mobilized the magic casters in the way of archers. He originally hoped that the magic casters would have a good vision and attack position, but ended up being in trouble? But——
Can a wave of javelins shoot a thousand meters away? Well, it is not impossible if a large ballistae is used, but is it accurate to shoot such a distance? Even if it is accurate, will there still be residual power?
If it were a javelin fired from a mile away, it might indeed have the power to shatter a one-meter-thick city wall, but it wouldn't be able to bring down the tower? Could it be the empire's secret weapon?
Thomas stood up, wanting to see for himself, and then sat down again. The magic casters who were able to use second- and third-level magic and considered their trump card were all wiped out. If he went up and was recognized, he would now be the commander.
If so, wouldn't it mean that you would die if you followed?
And the messenger spoke again: "I think those javelins are all enchanted."
"Are you kidding me again?"
"No, what I said is true! It is true that I don't understand magic, but there are flames, explosions, and dazzling light. It can only be...magic, right?"
"According to your statement, I just heard that there were dozens of ships invading not long ago. Generally speaking, a battleship must be able to install no less than ten sets of ballistae, right? Then if each set is enchanted - this one
The enemy army may only have tens of thousands of people, but there are hundreds of magic casters? Then let's give it a try!"
Thomas smashed the table angrily, knocking all the utensils on the table to the floor.
This is ridiculous no matter how you think about it. A country with a ratio of magic casters in its army of one thousandth would be good. If you include those so-called magic swordsmen or melee mages who use magic as an auxiliary means, maybe
The ratio could be a little higher, but the latter is definitely not included in the magic casters who can enchant the ballista to fire it.
Suddenly, he felt a thump in his heart and asked quickly: "How are the troops sent out?"
"…………"
"Go and confirm and report back!"
"yes!"
The orderly went out, and Thomas began to pace back and forth.
The city was very chaotic. People ran past the door from time to time, and there were many civilians who either spontaneously or were arrested to reinforce the defense.
Many of the demihuman races are born with strong bodies, and they are almost as strong as all the people. Therefore, even if the regular army is almost gone, they can quickly improvise an army. Although the coordination may be poor, they are stronger than humans.
The body can also become a good fighting force.
After some time, the orderly soldier came back rolling and crawling on the ground. He didn't even pay attention to the military salute, and lay directly on the table. Rather than gasping for breath, it was better to say he was frightened and said: "All...all destroyed."
Almost... almost, bombed by battleships..."
"They...won't they hide?" Thomas felt that his question was a bit stupid.
"The enemy is coming... I'm afraid the city gates and walls will fall soon... If I hadn't run fast... If Luo Crystal Knight hadn't led him..."
"What? Knight Commander Luo Crystal, is he still alive?" Thomas was overjoyed. He was fine. If it were him, he would be able to wipe out all the enemies even if there were thousands of them.
The Insects are a race that is very resistant to magic. Can they drive away the enemy...?
However, Thomas seems to have forgotten that if Luo Jingshuang really has the ability to reverse the situation, where did he go when the semi-mimic demon fought against the vampire?
……………………………………………………
It is said that he is a knight commander, but the race of the knight commander Luo Crystal is a feather insect, and his surname is Luo Crystal. This world also has this racial culture that makes up the name. The individual size is like a palm-sized goblin, but his body has insect characteristics.
With this appearance, it is more accurate to say that it is an anthropomorphic insect.
The so-called mount was just an eagle. He was on duty near the palace at the time. Although he set off immediately after discovering the first commotion, unexpectedly, an oversized fireball hit the palace directly.
Then even if he successfully avoided the explosion itself, Luo Jingming was knocked unconscious due to the lack of oxygen in the explosion of the cloud bomb. Because he felt the crisis quickly moved away, and his body was light and was blown far away by the shock wave, but he did not suffer from lack of oxygen.
The degree of suffocation and death really caused him to lose his mobility for a period of time. However, the mount did not have such good durability and died.
What exactly was that terrible attack? Now that I think about it, it was probably an attack against this invasion. I wanted to discuss it with my colleagues, but it seemed that they had all been assassinated by some clever means. I don’t know who the enemy was and what their purpose was. But
It was obvious that the enemy had planned this attack for a long time.
Then there is only one thing he can do - find the enemy and fight.
Not long ago, he had just arrived at the gate of the city that was under attack.
The city gate has been completely broken, and the surrounding city walls, which are about ten meters wide, have become rubble that ordinary people can easily climb on foot. There is a fence not far from the original city gate as a barrier.
, many soldiers and civilians who spontaneously came to fight gathered here.
From time to time, soldiers who seemed to have suffered heavy shelling would come back in twos and threes, with fear appearing on their faces. Was there a rather unfavorable battle taking place outside?
This also makes the morale of those holding the barrier lower and lower.
Moreover, this place was full of mobs. Luo Jingjing asked about it and found that even the commander was not there, which was a bit bad, so——
"Brave gentlemen, the Junkers are being destroyed now! Let us take the place of the warriors who sacrificed their lives heroically and the innocent people who suffered, and repel those who-who-be-likes!"
Luo Jingming shouted a domineering roar, which seemed a bit ridiculous considering his palm-sized body. However, knowing this person who has a small body but contains great energy, a nervous look appeared on his face.
