In the central Burgundy magic array, the powerful space magic array can call the huge power that exists in the space, the thing called the Staff of God... However, with Edward's disappearance, the weapon also lost its function.
Although no part of the magic circle was damaged, it could no longer release any power. Therefore, after several repairs, most people had lost interest in it. Only Lao Yangge was still working tirelessly to make use of his leisure time
I have studied it for a while and tried to repair it.
The possibility is quite slim... As expected, I still have to wait until the Lord of the Lord comes back.
Yangge's rest is in the mage tower, but now when the whole city is on guard, it is obviously inappropriate to go back to sleep. Fortunately, the turret built on the top of the city is spacious enough, and there are many walls for soldiers to rest.
So he simply occupied one of the rooms and found a bed to lie down.
But he then regretted it-
This fortress is completely constructed by the power of stone elements. The bed is naturally stone. Although it is covered with sheepskin or cowhide, it is still very hard, making the old wizard whine with bones. And when people get old, they feel it
There are a lot less, and it is not that easy to fall asleep.
But it was not appropriate to go back at this time, so he could only toss and turn and fall asleep slowly. But in a daze, he suddenly heard someone shouting something. The only little sleepiness was driven away.
It's right.
"Damn... have the enemy invaded? What are you shouting!" He looked up and found that there was no window here at all, so he had to get up and shout at the noise outside.
Unfortunately, the high mage's anger received no response. He just calmed down and walked out of the door. Then he noticed that there was no one in the passage, and the shouts were all transmitted from the end of the passage - command. Hollow, human
The voice was mixed with some strange howls, which made Yang Ge's heart accelerate.
Fortunately, there was no scream or metal impact in the noise... Obviously, it was not broken anywhere.
"Master, Master, the Imperial Man..." Climbing up a few stairs was the exit of the passage, but before Yang Ge could look up and observe the situation around him, a man had already hit him.
"Calm down, you want to become a mage, and you must keep a clear head at any time!" Yang Ge snorted.
Ryan, who came to him, looked flushed. But after swallowing, he finally calmed down: "Master, the imperialists sent a large number of troops through the portal, with at least 30,000, and now they are sending out a large number of troops.
The gargoyles have been displayed above Burgundy, with unknown numbers, but there are more than a thousand, and we have suffered casualties!"
"Thirty thousand? One thousand stone ghosts?" Yang Ge felt his temples bulging... "Are you sure?"
"It is impossible to determine the specific number, they carried out a large illusion on the camp. The level is not high but the details are blurred. The mages responsible for the observations judged from the array they arranged, and there should be no difference. However, their actions are very
The fast queue is very loose. So I guess most of it is used to assist the peasant soldiers."
Ryan's response made Yangge nod. Although this noble young master is not of high quality in magic, he is at least smart and careful. With time, it may be difficult to become a master. But to surpass himself in his achievements, he should be
No problem.
But the imperialists seemed to be not as easy as they thought.
The troops of at least 30,000 people, even if they are just miscellaneous soldiers like farmers, it is already quite considerable. You should know that Burgundy had received large-scale migration from various cities, and only had more than 30,000 people gathered. Moreover, it was used to
It is obviously impossible for the siege to be the kind of farmer holding a wooden spear. Those who are not trained are driven to charge on the battlefield and are useless to use them to attack the city. Maybe for a while
After the arrow rain, it will collapse. As long as it is a soldier, it will not do such stupid things.
But if it weren't for the farmer, where did the imperialists get this number of troops? For 30,000 formal troops, it would not be so easy to recruit from all cities in the entire new empire. Local lords would not serve private soldiers obediently.
...Is this siege more planned than I had imagined?
But that's certainly... Although this siege operation seemed stupid to him, it could not be all fools after all. Especially the siege operation could not be led by some mages who stayed in the laboratory all day long.
While talking, he walked up to the turret. Yang Ge noticed that the sky outside the turret had completely darkened, and the starlight appeared in the thin clouds. On the horizon in the distance, the imperial camp emitted a subtle light.
Damn - a hazy cloud covers it, and the lights are dispersed into a layer of fluorescent light. Even Yang Ge's secret vision can only barely notice the black shadows flashing behind it.
He frowned, trying to say something, but a scream from the sky interrupted him.
The lights on the city wall made everything hundreds of feet away hidden into the darkness, but the old mage could see the human-like shadow in the sky - the human body has a sheep-like head, and its limbs have long hooks.
Claws, a pair of ten feet long wings swung on the dark body, and slightly luminous magic runes concentrated on their chests, while two crimson gems formed the eyes of these magic creatures.
"Send the order and put strict warnings on me, and hide for me! But if someone yells around, he will be punished as disrupting the morale of the army! The gargoyles are just waste!"
Yang Ge reached out and pressed a sound transmission gem in the turret, making his voice echo on the outer wall: "The golem that flew with his wings, except for the dragon golem, are all waste! He actually used this kind of thing to attack the city, the empire
The mage is simply a group of warlocks who changed their careers... Each air defense tower allows shooting, and I personally reward one for one gold coin, no, one silver coin! This thing is too simple!"
"Gargoyle...why is it simple?"
Ryan widened his eyes - in his memory, the gargoyle was obviously a terrifying monster, the appearance of a demon, the force that was tireless, and had the invulnerable stone body and the ability to fly.
With a certain degree of resistance, some mage towers often use it as a guard. Even powerful warriors will have headaches when they encounter them.
"Because this thing can deal with some ordinary people and ordinary castles. This thing can be used to invade archers, but to deal with us... Hum!" Yang Ge explained impatiently: "You know the production of golems.
Method?
"Put an elemental soul into the puppet and give an energy core as power. Obsidian used by ordinary gargoyles, and..."
"That's right, so I said that golems flying with wings are all waste." Yang Ge said: "The body is made of stone, so it cannot be made too big, otherwise it will not be able to fly, and it will fly
.That pair of wings becomes a burden. The dragon golem is pretty good. It has many attack methods, but what about the gargoyles?"
Ryan thought slightly and nodded excitedly.
Gargoyles lack powerful attack methods—there are no other tactics except falling from the air to the ground and scratching with their claws on their limbs. But in this way, their thin and large wings enter the attack.
Range, if it is against infantry or archers who are only wearing armor or are OK, but... Burgundy City has no archers at all.
Only the continuous fire crossbow in the air defense turret.
"Bang! Bang! Bang dong dong!"
At this time, the sound of metal vibrating sounded on the city wall! The huge kinetic energy brought by the steel torsion spring pierced the hard body of the gargoyle like paper and tore it apart. The core runes were pierced,
Or the gargoyles that were torn off and nailed through the wings had exceeded fifty in an instant!
The original noise on the city wall soon turned into cheers.
The sound of metal vibrating through cheers. It is not dense... The continuous shooting crossbow installed at the head of Burgundy is a variety improved based on the original car supplies. Since it is used on the city wall, it has been increased to a certain extent.
The volume to ensure the range, although doing so slows down their firing rate, it also makes those novice more comfortable in control. And on the first and second two city walls, there are at least ten miles in length.
Such continuous shooting crossbows will only cause more intense fire damage!
The continuous shooting crossbow is set on a bracket that can rotate up, down, left and right at will. The magic blessing ensures that the heavy steel moves as flexible as a light crossbow, while the internal operator will be automatically blessed with dark vision, near each tower.
It is a small fortress for the mage, which not only provides support for magical firepower, but also provides blessed and buffed spells to shooters at any time.
The gargoyles are not flying slowly in the air. But for the shooters who have blessed the enemy plane first, it is almost as still as the archers. They even shook their handles slowly, and let the steel arrows dig in with no slightest arrows.
The bodies of those monsters, and the 'safe' height of 200 feet in the gargoyle commander's perception, are unable to protect them at all!
The steel crossbow arrow is one and a half feet long, and the arrows are cast into a very long triangular shape. When casting, a small amount of pure gold is added to the steel. Obsidian cannot stop it at all, so in that terrifying sound, every breath seems to have a stone statue.
The ghost was spinning in the air and fell down! Then it hit the city wall with a dull sound, splitting into pieces!
Gargoyles have a certain intelligence and can execute more complex commands, but are far less likely to perceive dangerously than humans. The command they get is, "fly within a safe distance and harass the opponent's soldiers. If attacked by magic,
Evacuate.' But this seemingly unproblematic order has brought them a nearly devastating blow at this moment!
...
"Three-quarters of the gargoyles have been damaged? You're talking nonsense!"
Master Gaia no longer blesses the illusion technique on himself, but his voice almost overturned the top of the tent... He stared at the pale face in front of him, sweating like a slurry, his raised fingers almost lit.
When he got to his nose, he seemed to use a dissociation technique to turn the other party into dust powder!
"This...I dare not..." The poor informant trembled, almost not daring to move: "There is no magic fluctuation on their city tower from beginning to end, and I don't know how it lost...
I can only see it as if it is…it seems…”
His breathing was rapid, his head was covered in cold sweat, and his mouth seemed to tremble continuously. It was not until a long time later that he came to the conclusion: "It seemed to be hit by an ordinary arrow!" And this sentence seemed to have taken time to him.
With the last strength of my body, my legs were weak and I sat on the ground: "Master... don't kill me...I, I just follow your order..."
"Bastard!" Master Gaia's beard was trembling. But in the end, he did not attack. He just glared at the unlucky guy angrily for a while. Then he let out a long sigh: "Get out!"
He returned to his seat without saying a word, lowering his eyes slightly, as if he was in meditation - but his dark face and rapid breath undoubtedly betrayed his mood.
Although he doesn't have a deep understanding of war, as a mage, he has been on the battlefield several times... Of course, he has no hope of relying on gargoyles to capture a city - this is just a small harassment before the war, which can cause some damage.
It's already very good, and even part of the loss is within calculation...
But how could it be the result of such a nearly total death? Or was it shot to death by a bow and arrow?
That's not a bird, it's a gargoyle!
Even the best bow and arrow could not shoot through its shell at a distance of eighty feet! Only the heavy crossbow can cause damage to him, but there are as many as 300 gargoyles he sent out this time.
It's one-third of the total! Could it be that the Toonies have a team of crossbowmen with more than 500 people? But even if there are, gargoyles are not fixed targets! In the darkness, how could they be so
It was easily knocked out? Did the mage group in that city have prepared auxiliary spells to bless these crossbow archers with various gains?
"Bows and arrows are certainly ridiculous..." Master Matthew shook his head and regained some verbal words for his silent colleagues: "Judging from the results of the two tentative attacks, I think there is a force field in this city.
A large defensive magic array can activate effects similar to the city-breaking hammer spell at a certain distance. Moreover, this effect can be freely concentrated or dispersed, and can defend against a large area."
His eyes swept across everyone in the tent, but all he gained from them was silence.
This is the central command post of the camp. Those who are qualified to be present are the lords of the new empire, including three dukes and their adjutants. Nine noble marquis and viscounts, plus three divisions and two emperor electorate marquises, the entire
The tent was already a little crowded... but no one was interested in expressing any opinions about the scene just now.
Everyone hid their opinions in their hearts in a tacit understanding.
Since Burgundy can create a large amount of armor in a very short time, it is not a strange problem that they equipped a large number of crossbows - so large-area force field arrays are excuses to conceal failure.
——The magical creature was defeated by ordinary weapons, which is indeed ridiculous. But in essence, it is just the inevitable result of arrogance.
But this kind of failure is not harmful...at least, I hope that the three old guys can be more honest.
Three divisions who do not understand war and do not obey orders are simply burdensome for a war. No, it is a disaster! Who knows how much damage their stupid decision will cause to their troops? And who will be responsible for this responsibility
Come and bear it? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can definitely understand the problem and will not investigate it, the loss caused by the soldiers is quite painful for every real nobleman.
"Three masters, if there is such a...well, how much impact will a force field magic array have on our attack tomorrow?"
Sukhoi asked after the silence lasted for a while.
He didn't feel much about watching this failure. Although these gargoyles were his own property, they were also made with the resources of the empire. Each of them was worth a thousand gold. Now they have suffered such a huge loss.
The force is also severely weakened.
"The impact should not be big." Master Matthew responded: "As long as the plan goes well and after a few hourglass, we can rest in the city. Well, it's getting late, we must take a break in order to prepare for tomorrow
The spells, and you, I hope you can do your best to fulfill your duties and lay a tangible foundation for our victory.”
He stood up and nodded to everyone, and then the three masters walked into an arbitrary door and left.
"For our victory? What else do they dare besides losses? But if they win this time, wouldn't all the credit be attributed to them?" Looking at the disappearing light and shadow of the three old mages, standing behind Sukhoi, he looked at the disappearing light and shadow of the three old mages.
Nicole finally couldn't help but sneer: "No wonder everyone wants to be a mage. This life is so smooth..."
"Nicole, don't talk nonsense."
The female knight's words caused a depressing laughter in the tent, but Sukhoi just frowned and nodded to the nobles: "We are going to prepare to attack the city tomorrow. Let's say goodbye first, everyone
…”
"What do they really do?"
As the main force of the attack, the camp tent was arranged in the center of the camp, not far from the command tent, but when approaching, the vague noisy sound made the female knight raise his head in one direction-
The portal's light flashed in that direction, illuminating the night sky with dark red. The wind was mixed with subtle shouts and shouts, and some sounds similar to howling wild beasts. Her expression changed slightly: "Yes
Not too cruel? They are not soldiers, they are just..."
"We gave them enough rewards." (Want to know more exciting news about "Hunting the King of Hearts"? Open WeChat now, click the "+" sign in the upper right corner, select Add a friend to add an official account, search for "qidianzhongwenwang",
