Chapter 490 The Prelude to the Fortress Attack and Defense Battle
After a while, when the ground rose again, a large number of neat magic turrets appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
At a glance, we can see these magic turrets, which are mainly made of white crystals, arranged in an orderly manner and divided into several rows from the front to the back, extending from one end of the city wall to the other end of the city wall. They look extremely spectacular.
"I see, is there a magic treadmill hidden in the fortress? It's quite an interesting mechanism."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly,
Having said that, Lei Xiao also learned a lot about the magic turret during this time.
Although it is not a necessary accessory for the magic cannon with its own perfect erection function.
However, the special magic crystals on the fort called memory crystals can protect the magic cannon body and slightly increase the power of the magic cannon.
Moreover, as long as the magic cannon is placed on it, this memory crystal that can change its own shape will automatically fit perfectly with the magic cannon. If it were not a magic cannon, this reaction would not occur.
"According to Lin, the reason why this happens is because these memory crystals can produce magical resonance with the power-enhancing magic circle enchanted on the magic cannon, and then a matching reaction will occur."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "These magic turrets on the fortress walls look not much different from those in the territory. As for the memory crystals needed to build the magic turrets in the territory, I ordered Lin
Obtained from within the Phytolacca Trade Fair,"
"Having said that, although the price of memory crystals is also very expensive, compared with the sky-high price of the magic cannon itself, it is not worth mentioning. Therefore, using it as a material for the magic cannon is undoubtedly the best choice.
Good choice.”
In this way, Lei Xiao was thinking this while, accompanied by Bai Lao, he quickly set up the second-order fire-based magic cannons that had been equipped with magic light crystals on the fort.
It didn't take long for a total of 300 fire magic cannons to appear in front of everyone present.
At a glance, I saw a dark cannon body that was perfectly fitted with white crystals. Under the bright moonlight, it reflected a cold frosted light, causing the surrounding Leng Yan soldiers to let out waves of exclamations.
Voice.
Even Ariel, who had been following Lei Xiao, couldn't help but have the same reaction.
You know, a second-order magic cannon costs at least 1 million golden dragons.
From this we can imagine how huge the value of 300 doors would be.
The most important thing is that with the blessing of these magic cannons, the output capability of the entire fortress will undoubtedly make a leap forward!
For a moment, pairs of excited and awe-inspiring eyes cast their gazes towards Lei Xiao's position.
At the same time, the three squadrons of magicians who were serving as gunners and had already been waiting aside immediately began to familiarize themselves with their respective gun positions and adjust angles under the orders of their respective commanders.
From the skillful movements of these magicians, it can be clearly seen that they all have rich combat experience.
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency!"
After all the magic cannons were adjusted and hidden again, Bai Lao's face was full of excitement and he said again: "I have never thought before that the many magic cannons in this mountain fortress will
Once again, everything is covered with magic cannons!"
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Lei Xiao responded with a slight smile.
On the other side, Bai Lao shook his head and said helplessly: "To be honest with you, in the past few years, due to the constant flames of war at Buluo Fortress in the far north of the kingdom, most of the magic cannons here were transferred there.
…”
"The Buluo Fortress in the far north?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had heard this place name many times before.
According to the information learned so far, the current coach there is Leng Yan's third princess, Ariel's sister.
"Intelligence shows that apart from fighting, this person is not interested in anything else, including the throne. When Ariel was still young, he took the initiative to go to the battlefield to experience. It is said that his strength is even beyond the limit.
Above most of the kingdom's generals, he is an absolute wolf-killing figure.
Thinking of this, a burly image of King Kong Barbie suddenly appeared in Lei Xiao's mind, and he continued to think: "That's all, although I am a little curious, the top priority is to focus on the battle in front of me."
Next, through the conversation with Bai Lao, Lei Xiao learned.
Bert and Jubai, one responsible for the internal security of the fortress and the other responsible for logistical support, have already taken their places.
As for Ariel, she stayed at the front line of the city wall with Mr. Bai to boost the morale of the soldiers.
Of course, Lei Xiao, who is fully prepared, will also stay in this position and take charge of the overall situation.
Just when everything was discussed, the prompt for rapid recitation rang again.
After the call was connected, what sounded in Lei Xiao's ears this time was Nan Yue's slightly shy voice: "Reporting to the lord, the enemy has united in the camp ahead and is marching towards the fortress in a mighty manner.
!”
"I know, is it finally coming?"
Lei Xiao stopped talking and stood on the towering city wall. His eyes moved and finally landed on the mountains and forests in the distance.
In that direction, there is a relatively flat and wide road, which is the only way for the Holy Night Army to come here.
"Your Excellency, since the other party has joined forces, it's time for us to take our positions."
On the other side, Bai Lao, who also got the news through the secret method of contact, nodded to Lei Xiao.
Next, under the command of Bai Lao, except for the soldiers wearing blue armbands, other soldiers began to evacuate quickly and moved toward predetermined hidden positions throughout the city wall.
For a moment, the whole scene suddenly became extremely tense.
A big war is coming.
"I understand, then let's wait for each other's arrival."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then, surrounded by a group of subordinates, he began to walk towards a large arrow tower that could directly lead to the inside of the fortress.
…
Under the twin moons, the night wind is bleak, and insects are chirping and katydids are jumping.
I saw that on a mountain path covered with a large number of bushes, the low green leaves that had been static suddenly began to tremble slightly.
It didn't take long, and there was a dull sound of "dong, dong, dong".
Even the fine gravel on the ground began to oscillate without wind, as if dancing on the drum surface.
At this moment, in this environment, what can ring the earth with this frequency is naturally the uniform footsteps of the Holy Night Army.
The next second, a large number of densely packed soldiers began to appear at the end of the road.
At the same time, the sound of heavy and orderly footsteps, mixed with the crisp sound of armor clashing, also intensified, just like a reverberation subwoofer turned to the extreme, shocking people's minds.
Gu Yan
In a short time, the road was covered with soldiers in blue-striped armors who lined up neatly in an endless line with no end in sight.
The rows of shiny armor and sharp spear points reflected the cold light under the silver moonlight.
At the same time, waves of cold and biting breath continued to emanate from each soldier's body.
Then they gathered together to form a majestic and vast momentum, like a pair of big hands holding the throat, almost suffocating.
Observing carefully, although the entire team has almost no lighting measures, the soldiers are still walking fast, and there are still glimmers of light flashing from time to time in each person's murderous eyes.
It seems that some kind of group magic that enhances night vision should have been cast.
Just like that, everyone was silent.
This continuous torrent of steel is like a giant beast lying on the ground, rapidly approaching the mountain fortress that also maintains silence.
…
Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and it was almost an hour before dawn.
The huge Holy Night Army has arrived at the fortress on time.
At a glance, I saw seven giant phalanxes neatly distributed on the vast land directly in front of the fortress.
Among them, the three giant square formations at the front near the city gate are in the shape of a cone with one in front and two in back.
Further back, in the large depression in front of the fortress, due to the unfavorable terrain, the Holy Night Army did not deploy soldiers.
On the left and right sides of the depression, there is a giant phalanx, facing the two small fortresses on the mountainside on both sides of the fortress.
And behind the depression, there are two giant phalanxes, one in front and one behind.
"A phalanx is obviously the size of an army of ten thousand people, but why are there only seven phalanxes?"
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was wearing a blessed invisibility cloak and located in the arrow tower in the corner above the fortress, looked out through the shooting port and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
You must know that according to the intelligence obtained from Ogu and the report of Nanxing Nanyue, the Holy Night Army was indeed in full force, leaving only a small number of elite troops to guard the camp and the granary.
"I have to say that on the field, some unexpected things will happen."
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao regained his serious expression and continued to think: "In short, we must find out the whereabouts of the Holy Night Legion as soon as possible. After all, the mountain fortress only has 10,000 defenders."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately muttered words and softly contacted Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing who were still outside, and ordered these five subordinates to start investigating around the fortress.
Furthermore, let Huzhang and Hongye, who were beside them, use all their strength to sense the abnormalities around the fortress.
After all the arrangements were completed, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and re-observed the dynamics below the fortress.
Next, wait until the scheduled time for Ogu and the Holy Night Army comes.
Ye Cang, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately activated the special signal magic scroll.
The next second, a silent dark blue flare suddenly shot straight into the sky.
Then it dragged its long tail and began to slowly descend above the Holy Night Army.
At the same time, with the crisp sound of iron chains rubbing together, the metal bridge suspended high in the fortress suddenly fell down, and the giant metal door behind the bridge also opened completely.
“Finally opened!”
Seeing this, the commander of the Holy Night Legion sitting at the front of the fortress, riding a tall horse, couldn't help showing a look of joy.
However, just when he was about to give the order to rush into the city, he was stopped by a deputy general beside him.
"General, something is wrong."
The deputy general had a solemn look on his face and reminded: "Although the time is just right and there is no problem with the signal, I still feel that it is too quiet here. Why don't I let my subordinates lead the cavalry from the three brigades of our headquarters to charge forward first?"
How about we go in and take a look?"
"The deputy general is overly worried. Now that the fortress gate is open, if Leng Yan's gang of bastards react and miss an excellent fighting opportunity, can you, the deputy general, be able to shoulder this responsibility?"
The commander glanced at the lieutenant with disdain and snorted coldly.
This invading Holy Night Legion was an elite force selected from multiple legions. The commander and two lieutenants were all from different legions.
Therefore, the commander is naturally afraid that his deputy will steal his lead.
You know, Tougong has the right to control the next cold flame city at will.
At that time, you can naturally do whatever you want.
Thinking of this, a lewd smile appeared on the commander's face. At the same time, murderous intent suddenly appeared. He raised the long-handled ax in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me and rush in.
Kill all Leng Yan’s bastards!”
The next second, the commander took the lead and rushed in with his soldiers.
At this moment, except for the commander.
Every soldier behind him had a ferocious look on his face, and the sharp lance and sword in his hand shone with a biting cold light.
Seeing this scene, the other two lieutenants were not to be outdone and rushed to follow.
At this point, this elite invasion legion, composed of five brigades of cavalry, four brigades of light infantry, and a mixed magician brigade, all rushed into the gate of the fortress.
It took a moment for the invading army, filled with murderous intent, to completely enter the urn of the fortress.
The commander who rushed to the front discovered that the gate of Wengcheng was not open and it looked indestructible.
"Asshole, what are you dawdling about?"
Looking at the several Cold Flame Army soldiers wearing blue armbands above the barbican, the commander grabbed the reins of the boastful horse and spat.
However, after waiting for a moment, the expressionless soldiers showed no reaction.
Seeing this, the commander suddenly showed a look of disdain and couldn't help but cursed: "They are just a bunch of vendors seeking glory, why don't you open it for me..."
However, the next second, the commander's angry voice had not yet completely finished.
Following a loud rumbling sound, a huge metal gate crashed down at the gate of the fortress at the rear, completely trapping the Holy Night Army that had just been preparing to go on a killing spree inside the huge urn city.
