It seems that the soldiers standing on the city wall are not the same group as in the morning because they are fully equipped. These armors are made of pieces of armor leaves. It is noon, and the entire fortress is filled with sunshine. There are words on the shining armor leaves.
Light is flowing. The silver infantry line is brighter than the snow on the wasteland.
"Ready, cast!"
Following the command of the team officer, the soldiers raised their javelins one after another and threw them into the trench filled with flesh and blood. This kind of projection does not require aiming at all, just smash it down. The sharp and heavy spear head penetrates the body of the beast.
, one layer, two layers, nailed to a certain place in the trench, and then strung them together firmly.
This type of throwing gun has a sharp and heavy triangular head at one end, and a sharpened barrel at the other end. It can kill on both sides, and can keep the gun head on one side heavier to ensure the effect of the throwing gun. The soldiers pulled out new weapons from their backs.
and threw the javelin downward again until all the javelin on his back was used up.
"Take the gun! Throw it forward again!"
This time the javelin no longer only dug the trench, the spear gradually extended forward, and some beasts with nowhere to escape were nailed to the ground and let out painful whines.
The soldiers threw eight spears in a row with great force. It was obvious that they were using up a lot of energy. Some of them were already out of breath.
"Raise your shield, retreat! Draw your sword!" the team officer shouted loudly.
The soldiers took a step back, put their small bucklers together, pulled out their swords from their waists, touched the tip of the sword to the ground, and then took a step forward to be on guard.
Continuously, new beasts jumped up. After running up a few steps, they fell down and hit the upright double-headed gun. Naturally, the flesh and blood body could not resist the steel gun head and became a monster in the trench.
A member of the filling. But as the number of wild beasts increased, the beasts that rushed forward were almost filling the trench.
Polu watched the spear-throwing show of its prowess, but never saw the bow and arrow or the crossbow. He asked curiously: "Why don't you let the archer shoot first?"
"Bow and arrow? You mean the one that shoots rabbits and foxes? The effect is not good. It takes a long time to kill. In the end, it has to be solved by hand-to-hand combat. It is completely useless and a waste of manpower."
"Huh? That's not right. I think they can kill wild boars and deer."
"It doesn't work here. If you shoot a beast during hunting, you can make it bleed slowly and drag it to death. But these things in the beast tide can't make a big hole, just rely on hunting bows, and they will still jump to the city wall."
You have to be like a hedgehog to stay still."
"Why?"
"Who knows?"
"Then there is no strong bow that can kill such an animal?"
"Yes, there is, but it's too expensive and has never been equipped. It needs an arrow to pierce it to be useful, but we can't use it."
"Then how do you usually provide remote support?"
"Call the mages"
"..."
Polu thought to himself, "No wonder you don't study bows and arrows. It turns out there are surreal artillery that can be called upon."
"If a mage can clean the floor, why do you still look so ugly?"
"We have a mage tower, but this place is not called, what is it called, a magic enrichment area? That seems to be the name. It relies on the energy-gathering magic circle to rotate every day. The place is so big, and there are also reserves in it.
It doesn't have much magic power. If I really accumulate too much, I'm afraid I'll lose control and destroy the fortress. We don't have a big mage here. Such a large range of spells must be launched from the mage tower, otherwise a few mages will burn themselves to death and squeeze them dry and they won't be able to control it.
With such a huge amount of magic power, you can’t hit it more than a few times in one day. Clearing the area in three to five waves is the limit, and you still have to retain some energy to release auxiliary spells.”
The bearded Galad has been transformed into a humanoid consultation machine.
"What spell is used to clear the area?"
"The fire wall, from one end to the other, is full in one go. It can burn for up to 5 minutes. It's very exciting."
Behind Polu, standing on the covered bridge overlooking the battlefield, Count Tashkent sighed. Seeing the beasts under the wall piling up higher and higher, he seemed to be saying to himself, and also to the air: "How about letting one go?"
Wall of fire."
"Okay, the accumulation speed is too fast this year." There were ripples in the air around the count, and a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe with a golden six-pointed star on his sleeve gradually appeared. There were hanging stars on his body.
The invisible middle-aged man drew a magic circle in the air with his right hand and sent a message to the mage responsible for releasing the wall of fire.
"Master Gurayev, I am Suvorov. Please release the wall of fire, the spell has a rated width and a duration of 20 seconds."
A deep and hoarse voice came from the magic circle: "Okay!"
Inside the door, an old man with a white beard put down the crystal bottle in his hand, clapped his hands to several young people who were busy in the laboratory and said: "Everyone on the first floor! Stop the experiment, get to your places, and prepare the fire wall!"
"Set fire on the wall on the first day of this year? What's going on?"
"I don't know, I haven't gone downstairs for two days."
As he spoke, he walked up to the circular platform that protruded from the ground in the center of the room and was painted with a magic circle.
"Rated width, duration 20 seconds! Ready to release!"
Several people stood in the ring pointed by the star of the six-pointed star array and began to control and guide the spells. The invisible and insubstantial magic power was extracted from the magic pool in the basement of the tower, and was about to be projected to the city wall in front of the city wall according to the established steps.
Trench area. "Woo... Wu..." The warning sound before the area-of-effect killing spell came from the amplification array of the mage tower echoed on the city wall. The soldiers who were throwing spears and only had kitchen knives in their hands were all gone.
Shield retreated and hid in the corner of the female wall.
Suddenly, a blue glow appeared in front of the city wall. Bolu was surprised, "What kind of light is this?" The magic flame completely went against Bolu's common sense. It was unfounded and did not require any material elements.
It burst out in the air. Boru was at the outpost, watching this unscientific firepower sweep across the entire length of the city wall, and the ferocious jets of flames were reflected in his pupils. Boru, who had truly seen the power of the caster for the first time, let out an exclamation of amazement.
Cries: "Fuck!"
Damn it, this thing has so much firepower? But the recharging time is so long? It can burn for 25 minutes a day after being fully charged? It can only be used to save the situation? What about the cooldown time between spells? It all depends on the soldiers' hand-to-hand combat.
Fight for it? No wonder everyone looks bad.
Polu, who had just witnessed this terrifying power, had a huge misunderstanding of the power of magic. Polu, who had never seen the magic power of the archmage in his previous life, asked again: "Then if it is the archmage, can it bomb indiscriminately?"
"Of course. As for the things in front of you, the Archmage can blow you up all by himself. But we haven't seen the Archmage yet. I heard that the King has a mage group, and the leader is the Archmage. "Actually, Galad also
I have never seen an archmage, but bragging is an essential skill for veterans of any country.
"Then why don't you send more mages?"
"Do you think there are many mages? There are only a few thousand people in all countries, and only a hundred apprentices can become official mages a year. They are all nesting on the island in the Storm Sea, mysterious. We are a place where birds don't shit.
The ability to build such a mage tower is the result of His Majesty's attention and the island's strong support."
"Galard, you know so much." Otto looked at Galad with a new look.
"Well, I am also an earl's guard after all, so you should take me as the same thing!"
"But you usually only drink and wrestle!" As soon as Otto finished speaking, Galad's dark face turned even darker.
Polu continues to be his curious baby:
"So now, in addition to chopping with kitchen knives, we can only rely on javelins and mage towers to burn them at intervals?"
"The Mage Tower has other spells that can be used, but they will only be released when there is a need to destroy valuable targets. There are also knights, they are very good, but we really can't fight or encounter big ones.
, they will rush up with fighting spirit and knock all the beasts on the wall off the wall."
"How big is a big man?
"I heard that a few elephants came here once. The wall is so high. Normally you can only see moose and giant bears. They can reach half of the wall when they stand up. People can only touch their bellies with their hands."
"Is it all up to the knight to use a kitchen knife to peel it?"
"That's not possible. The knight can cut off the leg with one blow, but you can't hold it back. They are rushing towards you. How many cuts can the knight make with all his strength? Even if he cuts someone to death, he still has to come down and rest in half an hour.
."
"And if you cut like this, the ditch in front will soon become a slope. There are so many wild beasts, they are like crazy, they don't know how to run, they rush towards you in dense numbers, and rush directly in front of you. If you can't use the wall of fire,
Clear the area and burn out the trench again. It won’t be blocked at all. Even if it floods, everyone will drown.”
"It's really disappointing to say that." "But I heard from the military supplies that the 7th Knights came this time. There must be more than 200 people, and at the very least they must be second-level knights. They can cut much harder than us.
One charge can knock a lot of monsters into the cliff over there. Don’t worry.”
"The Seventh Knights are so powerful?" Polu asked curiously.
"They are not a garrison knight. If there is any problem, they will go there. Casadoria is the best to attack them. You can't feel it. When they come out and charge in formation, you will know it once you see it."
Galad had a well-informed and superior look on his face.
"Looking at it this way, the level of projectile weapons here is surprisingly low." Polu thought in his heart, "Maybe it's because the individual combat power is too strong, which makes them feel that as long as they are strong enough, they can kill the beasts with bricks.
?And there is also a mage who can output remotely, which sounds very stable. Speaking of which, how strong is the Knights' charge?"
