Chapter 526: The Defense Battle of the Steeple Palace
Seemingly afraid of the power of the artillery, the Undead Vanguard retreated.
Looking at the slowly retreating undead army, Ryan, who was standing on the city wall, breathed a sigh of relief. His expression was slightly relaxed at first, but then became more serious.
Theresa, the sorceress standing nearby, approached with her staff. She stretched out her hand wrapped in white lace gloves and stroked a dwarf cannon, and said with interest: "Is this the guarantee you are talking about?"
Teresa stretched out her hand and patted the "dwarf cannon" gently, and there was a "bounce" sound coming from the cannon instead of the echo of steel.
This cannon is made of wood, or in other words, most of the "cannons" on the city wall are models made of wood.
When the undead vanguard approached, only a few cannons on the city wall were real, and it was those cannons that fired, scaring off the undead vanguard and buying precious time for the Spire Palace defenders.
Everything was Ryan's plan. He ordered the dwarf craftsmen to make this kind of dwarf cannon model that was so fake that it was disassembled and put in a wooden box, just waiting to deceive the undead.
"These things can only deceive the undead once." Ryan shook his head slowly and said calmly: "When the undead wake up and the undead army from Musilon arrives, these things will not be able to deceive Mathhubad."
"But this is enough." Teresa nodded: "They have played their role."
"That's right." Ryan suddenly said to Theresa: "If Ms. Aurora is willing to participate in this war, our chances of winning will definitely be much higher."
"Mother should have returned to the parliament." Teresa shook her head, and the sorceress apologized: "I have tried my best to persuade mother, but she said that this is the limit. Sorry, Ryan..."
"It doesn't matter, I understand." Ryan understands this very well. From a standpoint, Aurora is Aurora, she is not Theresa, and she does not have such a serious standpoint to help herself. She can agree to pass the big spell before
Creating blizzards and hail is already a great deal of honor to Lion. After all, Musilon's conquest is Lion's war, not Aurora's, nor the Gloria Council's.
The power of vampires is spread throughout the old world. There was a generation of Kislev Tsarina "Bloody Katarina" who was a descendant of the Lamia family. From a certain perspective, Aurora was not willing to expose herself to the vampires completely.
Hostile identity.
"Hurry up! The undead will be back soon! We must send all the artillery to the city wall before dawn!"
"yes!"
The five thousand defenders of the entire Spire Palace were mobilized and prepared to fight to defend the castle.
Five hours later, early in the morning.
The retreating vampire lord Belites finally waited for the undead army led by Mathhubard on the road leading to the Spire Palace from Mousilon.
"Belites? What's going on? Didn't I ask you to attack the Spire Palace with all your strength?" Mahhubard was confused when he saw the appearance of Belites and Hal Harris. He asked:
"Why don't you obey orders?!"
"My Duke! The Southerners have perfected the defense of the castle! Now the walls are full of artillery!" Belites said anxiously towards Mahhubard: "We tried to attack, but we were attacked by artillery!"
"There are artillery on the city walls?!" Mashubade was wearing a black cursed armor and a cross helmet with a golden snake statue on top. His expression could not be seen clearly. The self-proclaimed Duke of Mousilon pondered for a while.
Then he shook his head suddenly: "Impossible! I know the walls of the Spire Palace, and I have seen the dwarf cannons. If the Spire Palace fell late at night the day before yesterday, there is absolutely no way that Ryan and his army would be there.
All the artillery was laid out yesterday afternoon! The dwarf artillery is so heavy that it is almost impossible to transport it up the city wall via the corridor of the tower. The only possibility is to hoist it up by hoisting, and the city wall of the Spire Palace is not like the Empire's
The city walls are all equipped with lifting devices, and if you want to hoist them up, you can only make them freshly made, so no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the southerners to transport so many artillery pieces onto the city walls, it’s impossible!”
"But we really saw artillery on the city wall!" Bellites retorted subconsciously: "When we got closer, we were also attacked by a small group of artillery! In order to preserve our strength, I chose to retreat!
"
"Attacked by artillery?" Mahhubard immediately realized Ryan's plan, and he roared: "Oh no, Belits, you were deceived, those artillery are not real artillery at all!"
"But we were bombarded! The artillery on the wall attacked us!"
"Only a few of the artillery pieces attacking you are real artillery pieces! Belites! You idiot!" Matthew Bader grabbed the reins of his undead horse. He lowered his head and thought about the cause and effect: "Damn! Ryan Macca.
As the divinely chosen champion of Bichi in the Lake, he could be so cunning and use such despicable methods! It is simply beneath his status!"
Hearing what Mahhubard said, the blood knights gathered around Mousilon's viper all nodded in agreement and indignation.
In several battles, the vampires were at a loss for what to do with Ryan's tactics. This guy had no intention of fighting a regular battle with the undead from the beginning. His various underhanded tactics were an eye-opener for the vampires. They thought that Ryan, as Lake
The God-chosen champion of the Fairy can actually do such a thing, which makes the undead who are used to fighting head-on battles with the knights of Britannia often suffer.
Ryan Macado is cunning and cunning.
"Hal, why didn't you remind Belites?" Mahhubard knew that it was useless to get angry at this point. He pointed the core of the problem directly at the deputy general Hal Harris.
The vampire Baron of the Von Carstein family with snow-white skin and no hair on his head smiled: "Is it useful for me to speak? He is your puppy, and I am your subordinate. You prefer obedient dogs, but you prefer obedient dogs.
Are capable subordinates turning a blind eye?”
That's because the blood descendants of the von Carstein family are all twenty-five sons, and they all have the blood of betrayal in their bones! Mathhubard thought so, but Duke Mousilon knew that now was not the time to fall out. On the contrary, Mathhubard
Uncharacteristically, he solemnly apologized to Hal Harris: "I didn't think carefully, Mr. Harris, and I would like to express my apology to you."
"..." The blood descendant of the Von Carstein family seemed to be in disbelief at Mathhubard's apology. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he snorted and expressed his acceptance.
"The current war situation is already very bad! Everyone, I hope that at this time, the old grudges will be put aside for the time being. We must protect Mousilon! Protect this land that belongs to the undead!" Mashubade gestured to the undead.
The army gathered: "Immediately send an order to Merovingian to lead his army to join us! We will forcefully march immediately!"
"We must recapture the Spire Palace within three days!"
In the early morning of that day, Musilon's army, which had marched for a day and two nights, finally arrived at the gates of the Spire Palace.
Mahhubard immediately led the undead army to launch a fierce attack on the city defense. The undead army like a tide attacked the Spire Palace from all directions. Thousands of zombies and skeletons launched the attack first.
However, taking advantage of one night, all the artillery on the city wall had been replaced by real artillery.
Under Ryan's order, the dwarf engineers immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the undead army.
Mahhubard's attack was met with a fierce attack from artillery at the beginning. Dozens of artillery fired at the same time. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of zombies and skeleton warriors were blown to pieces in the artillery fire. Whenever there was a small amount of undead army,
Get close to the city wall, and the dwarf musketeers, human musketeers and serf archers on the wall will begin to attack.
The roar of artillery fire, the volley of muskets and the sound of archers pulling their bowstrings resounded throughout the Spire Palace and its surrounding areas. Wave after wave of undead armies attacked the Spire Palace non-stop. Under the leadership of the corpse truck,
The undead army attacked the castle defense again and again.
From early morning to noon, the high walls of the entire Spire Palace were filled with thick smoke, and the undead army and humans were locked in a fierce tug-of-war.
The war lasted until noon. Since the sun was at its strongest at this time, the undead were temporarily weakened and they had to reorganize their army.
Mahhubard realized that he was in a dilemma. If he wanted to continue fighting, he would have to invest in high-level troops close to the city wall. The huge losses involved were unacceptable to him, but if he continued to use zombies and skeleton warriors to attack the city wall,
So I don't know how long this war will last.
However, Lane and his army also exposed their disadvantages. Firstly, due to the early attack, their army was relatively small in number and did not dare to leave the castle. Secondly, due to a series of raids and seizing any time to transport artillery onto the city wall,
, the entire army lacked time to rest and was exhausted. After half a day of fierce attack on Mashubad, the defenders of the Spire Palace were already very tired. The undead had already attacked the city wall several times, but they were all quickly wiped out by the guards.
Ryan led the Holy Grail guards to rush to the battlefield. Whenever an undead broke through the city's defenses, he and a dozen Holy Grail knights would appear immediately. These tireless animals would kill the Grave Guards who rushed up the city wall in just a few strokes.
Kill them, they are like a whirlwind of death, crushing all the undead's chances of winning.
"Hold!" The Thor hammer in Ryan's hand smashed down, smashing a barren tomb guard into a ball of iron slag. He swept across with all his strength, and a dozen skeleton warriors were swept directly off the city wall by him. The god of the Lake Fairy
The winner crushed the throat of a tomb ghoul with his hands and threw the whole beast off the city wall: "Hold it! Soldiers! For the lady! For Britannia!"
"For the lady!" The defenders saw that Ryan was so brave and their morale was high. The knights were eager for glory and fought bravely. They knew that the fairy in the lake was watching this war, and the serfs loudly cursed the undead. In order to be promoted, they could
Give it all!
"Fire!" The dwarf musketeers "Dugan's Black Powder Brotherhood" opened fire collectively under the command of the dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan, and the dense barrage cleared away their current undead corpses.
"Blizzard!" The sorceress Teresa chanted a powerful spell. The terrible blizzard froze all the zombies and skeleton warriors, greatly hindering the advance of the undead.
But more giant ladders have climbed up the city wall. The city wall of the Spire Palace is not high. The tomb guards are leading endless skeleton warriors to climb hard, while the human musketeers and serf archers are resolutely fighting back.
.
Seeing that the hard battle was continuing, Mahhubard hesitated when he saw this situation.
The swamp near the Spire Palace has weakened the power of the artillery. The undead army has climbed to the top of the city and is fighting a bloody battle with the Spire Palace defenders. However, the losses of the undead army have been huge. If the battle continues like this, the enemy can be driven out of the Spire Palace.
, Mahhubard also had to bear the price of more than half of the casualties.
No! I can never give up here! Mathubad gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Merovingian!"
"Here!" Mad Duke Merovingian led a large group of black knights.
"Follow me! I will go to the city to fight in person!" Mahhubard drew out his serpent sword and roared: "Blood Knight! Forward!"
And just when Mathubad was charging in person, the Lake God Witch Morgiana had already climbed to the top of the castle, and following her up the city wall was a special dwarf super-heavy cannon.
This cannon is branded with the sacred runes of the Lady of the Lake and is covered with scriptures. There are statues of the Lady of the Lake on both ends of the cannon body, and the body of the cannon has the pattern of the golden Holy Grail.
This artillery was produced from the dwarf arsenal of Lane, and was blessed by the five prophets of the Lake God and the Lake God Witch Morgiana throughout the process. It was named "Morgiana's New Toy" and was loaded with magic blooming bullets.
Two Holy Grail guards carried a large box filled with twelve magic explosive bombs.
"The poisonous snakes of Mousilon have decided to launch the final attack." The Lake God Witch looked coldly. She said to Hal Hafer, the chief engineer of the Angland clan who was standing next to her: "I don't want to fire the artillery."
I understand, I’ll leave it to you.”
"Oh, don't worry!" Hal Hafer, the gold digger, said that he knew that around him, two lake god prophets were blessing "Morgiana's new toy", and the engineer himself pointed his thumbs and aimed at the target.
.
"Elevation angle 46°48′!"
"Elevation angle 46°48′!" The dwarf engineer immediately turned the angle of the cannon to the correct angle.
"Fire!" Hal Hafer's mouth opened wide, his long white beard fluttering in the wind.
"Fire!!!" The fuse was lit.
Subsequently, the entire battlefield was completely obscured by a huge sound of artillery.
"boom!!!"
A blooming cannonball shining with the light of the Lake God was shot from the top of the Spire Palace Castle. This huge cannonball fell in the eyes of everyone and exploded among a group of barren guards. It swallowed up an entire group of barren guards.
Legion.
Then under the dazzling light and the earth-shaking bombardment, the entire Tomb Guard Corps was overwhelmed by the explosion of artillery, and the fire wave and divine light enveloped the entire Tomb Guard Corps.
When the smoke cleared, more than a hundred barren tomb guards had been blown to pieces on the spot.
"Suffer death, evil undead, your sins are heinous! In the name of my lady, I sentence all of you to death!" Morgiana looked at the big pit on the ground and the miserable faces of the undead with satisfaction, and she did not stop.
On the contrary, the wind of magic surrounded the Lake God Witch. She held the potion chalice in her hand and chanted a spell loudly, vowing to bring the judgment of the Lake Fairy to the world!
"Six-ring magic, regeneration!" Emerald green light enveloped the entire Spire Palace, and all the troops were protected by the magic of the Lake God Witch. The injured knights and serfs only felt that they were wrapped in soft green energy, and their wounds were
Healed with the bonus of life magic, and his physical strength was restored.
"Dazzling Divine Light!" The shining yellow light exploded on the city wall, and the magical energy penetrated the skin and armor of the undead. The dazzling light inflicted great damage to the undead. The flesh of the large group of zombies and skeleton warriors burned and turned into
A ball of pus.
"Mist of the Lake God!" The entire battlefield was shrouded in white mist. Except for the undead defenders, all human soldiers were protected by the mist. They only felt that their speed had become faster and their strength had become stronger.
Three large spells covering the entire castle consumed a lot of Morgiana's mana. However, the Lake God Witch did not intend to stop. Her eyes were like lightning, and she immediately saw the figure of Mathubad, the Duke of Mousilon.
He is planning to lead his elite troops to join the battlefield in person.
The wind of magic blew, and Morgiana began to chant her most powerful magic. The Lake God Witch picked up the potion Holy Grail and released the power in it. Under her summons, a wandering comet appeared in the sky.
