The crossbow is a relatively common large-scale war machine and has a very complete improvement system.
Its lethality will fluctuate to a certain extent depending on the type and level of the ballista.
Based on the sense of threat fed back by his intuition, Yi Qiu estimated that the level of the ballista in the Dwarf Fortress should not be too high.
Advanced ballistae can launch extremely lethal attacks on low-level white dragons, and can achieve considerable armor-breaking effects on heavily armored units.
Of course, this kind of ballista is not something that ordinary people can control.
For the driver, this kind of ballista has very strict requirements.
General-purpose large war machines all have corresponding advanced professions.
As for the crossbow, there are advanced stages such as crossbow master and elemental magic crossbow driver.
This advanced profession is generally common in the military and can give war machines additional lethality and hit rate.
In small-scale wars, it is a more dazzling battlefield focus than legion-type advancement.
However, as a secret realm with a comprehensive challenge level of 10, it is estimated that it is unlikely to encounter such an enemy.
The dwarf fortress has only one relatively narrow entrance, and it would be difficult for someone with Lev's size to enter.
Although it is certain that the internal area of the dwarf fortress is not so narrow.
But for now, they don't know the length of the entryway.
In an extremely narrow passage, you will be very passive if you are ambushed or encounter a trap.
In the previous discussion, Lev believed that using RPG to directly blast open the outer wall and then sneak in was a plan with a relatively high success rate.
However, due to the threat of the ballista and the difficulty of challenging the leader, the three of them decided to wait for a week before opening up wasteland.
Because the refresh time of the dungeon is one week, a week is just enough to refresh a wave of dungeons, and you can get a chance to improve.
After all, the challenge level of Dwarf Fortress is 10+, and their previous highest level Yi Qiu was only level 7.
The challenge level is quite different from the one recommended on the comprehensive website, and the possibility of being able to pass the level is relatively low.
Now, Yi Qiu is at level 9, and Lev is at level 7.
Because Emma needs to consume general experience to activate bloodline spells, her level up has been relatively slow.
But now, Emma's warlock level has been raised to level 6.
And the third-level spell she awakened was undoubtedly the fireball spell she had longed for.
Under the influence of her bloodline ability, she can consume 2 uses of Fireball to convert it into a powerful Fireball.
As an upgraded version of fireball, the lethality of powerful fireball is almost one of the best among low-level spells.
However, because the flying speed of the fireball has not changed, there is a certain amount of room for evasion for Yi Qiu, whose movement speed has now reached a new level.

In the shadows at a certain distance from the dwarf fortress, Lev is looking for the attack point of the dwarf fortress.
As a retired member of the Alpha Rangers, Lev's qualities in this area are outstanding.
He needs to find a location that can provide them with a deep passage into the dwarf fortress after being exploded with an RPG. It cannot be too high, not too far, and cannot be located inside the building.
If it is too high, it will be very difficult for them to enter the dwarf fortress through this passage.
If it is too far away, the time they will be attacked by a ballista will be greatly increased.
Being located inside the building may expose them to the same dilemma as the entrance passage to a dwarf fortress.
Therefore, it is a relatively difficult choice.
After comprehensive consideration for a period of time, Lev chose a wall east of the dwarf fortress as the attack point.
Judging from the distribution of shooting ports nearby, the building density in that area is relatively sparse, and it is not too far away from them, and the height is still moderate.
After selecting the attack point, he took out the RPG from his item backpack.
Compared with an unstrengthened ballista, the effective range of an RPG is higher.
Due to the lack of fluorescent plants nearby, the darkness perfectly concealed Yi Qiu's whereabouts.
Creatures living in the underground space all have dark vision, but for dwarves, the effective observation range of their dark vision is not that far.
Lev took out the rocket and took aim for a while.
"Whoosh!"
In a burst of dazzling fire and thick white smoke, the rockets rushed towards the dwarf fortress at extremely fast acceleration!
The dust on the ground nearby was shaken by the reaction force.
Yi Qiu, who was barefoot, could feel a clear vibration coming from the ground, but the amplitude was not large.
"bump!"
And as the rocket hit the city wall, there was a violent explosion!
The dazzling white light dispelled the darkness near the city wall. The main structure of the city wall was damaged a lot, but no relatively complete passage was formed.
Compared with attacking creatures, RPG is more suitable for attacking fortresses and destroying buildings.
The violent explosion sounded very harsh in the empty underground space, and the firelight emitted by the PRG also exposed Yi Qiu's position.
"biu!"
"biu!"
"biu!"
Sharp cracking sounds continued to be heard in the air, and the shooting ports in the dwarf fortress launched a brazen attack on Yi Qiu and the others!
Although this distance has exceeded the effective attack range of most unreinforced ballistae, beyond this effective attack distance, the damage of the ballistae will be reduced.
But even if it is reduced, the crossbow arrows fired by the ballista are still fatal to lightly armored and unarmored units.
At this time, Yi Qiu and others had moved behind the large rocks nearby.
"bump!"
Amid a burst of tiny gravel, a thick crossbow arrow shot firmly into the ground.
Yi Qiu wiped the dust from his face and observed the crossbow arrow.
Its length was much shorter than Yi Qiu expected, but it looked very thick.
In a sense, it fits the style of the dwarves very well.
Although they belong to a small race, the impression given to people by dwarves has always been rock-solid.
They are not like ordinary little people who rely on their excellent agility to make up for their weak physique.
Instead, they used heavy punches and tough bodies to knock down those beings who laughed at them, and once refreshed people's understanding of the small race.
At this time, the ballista of the Dwarf Fortress has finished shooting and is in the gap period of loading the crossbow.
It was obvious that the dwarves driving these crossbows were unlicensed drivers, and the only attack they launched was a crossbow arrow that hit Yi Qiu and the others.
Lev rolled sideways and ran out from behind the rocks. He carefully observed for a while and found that there was no follow-up attack for the time being. He quickly aimed the loaded RPG at the dwarf fortress.
"Whoosh!"
In a burst of violent white smoke, the rockets rushed straight towards the crumbling wall of the dwarf fortress!
